    - Styles/Tags Word 2000 I have a large (175 page) document created by someone else. The document is full of different styles Body Text Indent 3, Comment Text, etc., etc. The font is set to Arial 12 on most all these styles so the document looks consistent if it is printed. I've noticed that if I type new text in the document and set the style to Comment Text for example, then the font is actually Times New Roman. That is, the Comment Text Style is set up as Times New Roman font. I can manually change the font to Arial for the text I type in and then the Comment Text Style appears on the page just like the Normal style. This is what has been done in this document. I can go through the document character by character and change these styles to Normal as I locate them. This is a tedious task. Can I automatically convert these styles to Normal? (I could highlight the entire document and select the Normal style I suppose but there are lots of images, tables, and bulleted and numbered lists that I want to keep intact.) Thank you!

    - Corrupted documents I have a series of documents that suddenly refused to open in Word 2002/2003. When I try, the program just sits there and eventually has to be killed through task manager. The documents open fine in WordPad, I save them in .rtf and can open the new file in Word without difficulty, but when I save them back as a .doc I can't open the new file. This behavior is noted on 4 different machines (the files are shared on a server). Any suggestions? Thanks Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65628

    - Replicate date from Header I am currently using Word XP on a Windows XP computer. I am creating a template with a date in the header, but not neccesarily "todays" date. I would like to propagate the date entered in the header to various points in the document. What is the best procedure for doing this? TIA George Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans?

    - Shortcut to toggle line spacing (leading?) How can I create a pair of shortcut keys (eg, Ctrl+L & Ctrl+Shift+L) that will toggle the line spacing for the current line (paragraph). When I say "line spacing", I probably mean leading. It's the "spacing" settings (before and after) in the Format / Paragraph panel. I would like Ctrl+L to toggle the "space before" setting between 6 points and 0 points and Ctrl+Shift+L to do the same for the "space after" setting. I do not want any other settings affected. Can anyone direct me on how to accomplish this? Thanks -- Running Word 2K in Office 2K on Win2K-SR2 For email, use Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans?

If they type in "borders" within the help line within Word, "Add borders, About borders, etc." will be displayed, but when they try to click one of these hyperlinks, nothing happens.

    - line spacing This is something that drives me absolutely bezerk! Why is it that sometimes, if I have 1.5 line spacing, but want (say) 2 lines at 1.0, I can highlight them, select and apply the spacing that I want without affecting other text... but other times (most of the time) it doesn't work that way? Is there a setting somewhere to tell Word that I want to be able to select certain lines and apply the spacing JUST to that area w/o Word applying it to other text? I looked in Format > Paragraph > Indents & Spacing, but I don't want a whole paragraph solution, I want a line by line solution and I want it to be global. For instance: Bullets... I want them spaced 1.5, but any multiple lines within a bullet at 1.0. Recipes... I want the ingredients listed at 1.5, but the instructions at 1.0.

    - Document has big gap of blank space I have a multi-page document with tables and drawings. about 2 pages in, I have about a 1/4 of the page with text and the rest is blank space. When I navigate with the arrow keys it jumps the rest of the page on to the next page wich is fine, that is, all the text is there. Does this have something to do with the tables and or drawings?

    - Microsoft Office 2000 Templates I don't know that much about windows, so i'd really appreciate any help anyone can give. Someone at my office set up templates in Word on our computers who does not work here anymore. we used them for fax covers etc... But today they suddenly stopped working. When i try to open any of them it tells me "word could not open this document template". I have tried going through the online help, but neither of the two options it gives me seems to have any effect. Also, when i try to close it asks me to save a file called normal.dot, and if i cancel and try to close again it tells me "changes have been made that effect the global template, normal.dot, do i want to save those changes." Thank you in advamce for any help. . Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65604

    - Track changes We are using Word 2003 and the Track Changes feature has users concerned. I'm not familiar with it so I am looking for feedback. One concern is that when a user saves and accepts changes to a file, the revisions will still show up when they open it. Will the same thing happen to a client if we email the file to them? Id there a way to just turn Track Changes off? TIA Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65602

    - WORD 2000 (1) select text and (2) double lines. I have WINDOWS 2000 as the operating system and Word 2000 presents two problems: 1) Is there a way to select text "page by page"? Or character by character? I've been simply holding down the Control key and dragging. 2) I have some odd double lines that appear (I do not know their source) and they are not subject to normal deletion methods. Selecting above and below the offending lines, attempting to delete the double lines: Format/Borders & Shading/Borders Format/Style - Normal "Help" is no help. Neither method worked. Any help on either item would be appreciated. Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65577

    - How to reverse foreground/background colors I occasionally copy web pages into Word. On some pages, the producer has used strange foreground and background colors. One of the more common is white (or other bright colored) letters on a black (or other dark colored background. I'd like first to switch foreground and background colors, and then to change them around to normal God-fearing black text on white background. If I click Format Font, I can set the color to automatic, but that doesn't do it. Please suggest alternatives. -- PT Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65576

    - Odd formatting problem I'm using Word XP (2002) and have encountered an irritating formatting issue. Whenever I apply a formatting change in a document--e.g., adding a bullet list, or bolding a line of text--the change gets applied to the entire document. If I then do a ctrl-z to undo the change, I am left with formatting applied as originally intended (i.e., the erroneous formatting to the entire document is removed, but the intended formatting to a specific section holds). Has anyone else encountered this, and know how to remedy it so I don't have to hit ctrl-z every time I apply formatting changes? I've looked at the autoformat settings and nothing there looks like the culprit. I'm thinking it may be an issue with the Normal template, but can't see any way to make changes there either. It sounds like a corruption, since I can't think of any reason you would ever want a setting that applies every format change to the entire document. Thanks in advance for any insights. --Jerry Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans? Tag: 65557

    - Can't Install Works Suite 2004 This is embarrassing. Trying to install Works Suite 2004, but can't get past "must close following programs: "Norton AV (navapw32.exe)". I assume this is the AV autoprotection executable.

Is there any way I can get past this first step, short of uninstalling Norton and then reinstalling it once Suite 2004 is installed? -- thanks,bmc Tag: Anyone know how to switch off Widows n Orphans?

In Office XP this changed to one color and a signe format (e.g. underlined). The reason for this change might be to allow the proofreading in teams (one color per person). I would rather like to keep the old modus with two colors (new: blue, delete: red). In the extra option menu is no button to make this change.
