What's all this discrimination against the #13 on the part of big ole MSFT? Is big bad MSFT Redmond Marketers done got sckeeered of lil ol #13? I done noticed today a whole passle 'o articles on the coming Office 14. How it done got a full complement of MDM aka Master Data Management in its CTP comin' first quarter of 2008. It sure seems like Office 2007 released not to long ago which was Office 12. Master data management is technology that allows for the management of common reference data across disparate IT systems or groups. So what's up with ole intrpepid MSFT? Has their marketers done got afraid of lil ol #13? I know about the Beta of 12. I know 12 released. Did they slip 13 onto the market and beta it lightning quick and I done missed it?

    - help! making form with subsections/subdocuments HELP!! I'm trying to create a form tht will be easier for management and the little guys to use. THere are many that are not comfortable with computeres here. I'm trying to make the form have three distinct sections on the first page (it is a memo): The Header containing the to whom, date, sublect, etc. The Body: where the reason is written, observations, suggestions, etc. This section can be lengthy. The summary: at the bottom of the first page, where management enters an executive summary of everthing that is written in the body, plus their spin. MUST BE ON PAGE 1! How can I limit the length of the body and have it automatically continue on page 2, independant on the lenght of the executive summary at the bottom. Is subforms the way to go? Or can it be done using sections? I don't want to create a footer for the summary, unless Ihave to. I'm not sure if Mangement can handle it. Tag: "Advance" down page Tag: 103919

    - Mail Merge and Spacing Greetings: I do a lot of mail merge for letter, envelopes and labels. On 2003 mail merge the spacing between the lines of Name, Company, Address, and City was the normal 1..... in 2007 there is an unnecessary space between all the lines (looks like spacing 1.5) althought it is not that spacing and is not identified when I go to paragraph where I was hoping to change the settings in order not to have a predefined spacing between paragraphs. The same happens when I type in a word document. If I allow the cursor to freely wrap to the next line there is not this troubling space. But if I need to press return to go to the next line the cursor jumps down at least 1.5 if not 2 spaces. I don't want this to happen either on my word document, word mail merge or word mail merge for envelope... I need to get rid of this spacing. I have to get rid of this spacing. Can someone point me in the right direction to get rid of this troubling spacing... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This 2007 is really different... I was not prepared for it when the boss installed it on the company server and then told us we had upgraded. -- David Tag: "Advance" down page Tag: 103869

    - The horizontal scroll bar - why does it keep reappearing? I'm using Word 2000 under Windows XP Pro SP2. Is there a foolproof way of making the horizontal scroll bar go away for good? However many times I've de-selected it under Tools/Options/View it always reappears sooner or later - sometimes the very next time I open Word, sometimes after a few weeks of daily use. The vertical scroll bar, on the other hand, has remained decently invisible ever since I first turned it off a year or so ago. It's not, I realise, a particularly big deal - and it's easily dealt with, temporarily, at least - but it is infuriating... Many thanks, Bert Tag: "Advance" down page Tag: 103868

    - Word Text Borders Won't go Away I created text borders by pressing the shift+8 key continuously until a dotted line was created the entire width of the page. These lines were used to separate line items in text. I went to "Format"+ "Borders & Shading" and attempted to remove all borders from my document. All borders were then removeable except for a few. They seem to stick to the bottom of a page or the top. I have not entered any data into footnotes or headers. Any suggestions on how to rid my document of these stubborn borders?

    - Table of Contents multiple styles I am trying to create a table of contents which I can almost get to work. The problem is I need 2 styles for the same level. The way the document is set up, most of the lines I want on level 1 are Times New Romans and 12. The appendix happens to be in Times New Romans and 16. Level 2 happens to be Times New Romans and 12 also. So what I did was set up Headings 1 and Headings 2 as Times New Romans 12 and Headings 3 as Times New Romans and 16 (and applied Headings 3 to Appendix. But if I try to set the TOC levels of Headings 1 and Heading 3 to level 1 and Headings 2 to level 2, Headings 3 becomes unchecked and doesn't show up in the contents at all.

    - Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation edition This posting is directed to anyone using Office Standard 2007 MAE, or to anyone using Office Standard 2003 MAE. I recently learned that MS offers an Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation Edition (MAE), at a substantial discount over OS 2007 (The suite was a recently advertised item at my local U.S. Navy Exchange.) As a vet, I qualify for MEA. The MEA suite is a complete OS 2007 suite, however, I am concerned about the EULA. It prohibits the use of the suite for commercial, government, or non-profit usages. Aside from the personal joy that I receive from having genuine MS installed on my home cpu, I also need to bring work home from the office, or I need to initiate work related documents (commercial proposals, etc.) from home. My questions are- If I install MAE, will I encounter compatability issues with a corporate licensed edition? Will a home created document become corrupted at the office, or vice-versa? Will the creation of a corporate document on my home PC, place my company into a potentially illegal positon? If this occurs, or if I open my company to litigation for violating the EULA then the suite is not a bargain. Any comments would be appreciated. -- Tom Conrad Tag: "Advance" down page Tag: 103765

    - Office upgrade I thought I would ask you folks for your opinions on something I am thinking of just now: I have Office 2003 Professional installed on my PC (running Windows XP). I bought the Professional version as, at the time, I did quite a bit of stuff on Access. I have recently downloaded a Trial Office 2007 which I quite like. When the Trial version runs out in November, I need to decide on the options, i.e. Purchase a full version of Office 2007 Purchase an upgrade to Office 2007 (this is less expensive but are there disadvantages?) Which version? Now that I no longer use Access very often, would it be OK just to buy the Standard version and continue to (occasionally) use Access 2003 which I have already. I mainly use Word, Outlook and Excel. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. TIA Tag: "Advance" down page Tag: 103717

WordPerfect has an "Advance" feature that allows you to position text at a
certain position from the top of the page -- and this position is fixed and
won't move.

How do I do this in Word? My objective is to fix an address position for a
letter that will show through a window envelope. This address position needs
to be fixed.

Thanks.

Word has an Advance field, but it's mostly for WP compatibility, and it's
not especially easy to use. What you will probably find more useful is a
text box or frame with its position set relative to the page.
