Chapter/section numbering
Hi
I'm formatting a large document and our comapny's manual conventions require the use of a Chapter.Section.Page numbering system ie 2.3.8 or Chapter 2, section 3, page 8. I've figured out how to use section breaks to restart page numbering but wondering how to restart section numbering at the beginning of each chapter. In other words chapter 1 ends at 1.4.6 and I would like Chapter 2 to begin with 2.1.1 not 2.5.1 (I do not want the "section" number to incrementbut rather restart at 0
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Print File List feature
WordPerfect has a "Print File List" feature in File | Open that allows you
to send a listing of all the files in a directory to the printer, to the
clipboard, or to WordPad.
Is there any way of doing this through Word 2000?

headers and footers
I have completed a document and wish to add headers and
footers. When I click on view and then on Headers and
footers nothing shows on the document. I am in print

then it reverts my document to its error prone state! Tag: Bookmarks/urls Tag: 59133
Macro doesn't record correctly Word 2003
Hello
I'm not very experienced at macros but I record little ones just to
quicken repetitive tasks.
Today I recorded a macro on 3 machines with Word 2002 that pasted
unformatted text at the cursor (Paste Special | Unformatted Text) and
assigned it a shortcut key.
I did exactly the same thing on a machine with Word 2003 and it
wouldn't work - looking at the code it is only recording a straight
paste. I did it over and over and in the end I just wrote the right
code in myself, using the code from one of the other machines and it
works fine.
Is there some different way of handling this that I have missed in
Word 2003? I certainly followed the same procedure that had worked on
the other machine.

Office 2002 / 2003
Many thanks

Update Tables Of Content
I've created a table of content using MS word Indexes and
table function.
However, I find that the fonts size are too large, thus I
change to to a smaller one... the 3 page content page now
shrink to 2, but this means that the rest of my report are
push up by one page.. However, the pages in the table of
contents does noe get updated.
Anyone knows how to automatically get it to update my page?
I've tried finding the solution thru' Help, it asked me to
click on the left of the index/table and press F9. After,
having done so, a funny green color flashing box appear..
what's this? I couldn't close this thing and got to
restart my computer.. Tag: Bookmarks/urls Tag: 59127
How to position text absolutely on the page?
How do I position the curser to start typing at a precise positio

have been overlaying the boxes to emulate the form the template wil
replace.

XP Styles vs. 97/2000 styles
I neeed some ninja MVP, "concept" help for WORD XP and
later.
Could a smart person please help me retrieve (or
understand why I shouldn't) two style functions I relied
on in 97 and miss in XP? First, I name styles
alphabetically so they'll show up *IN THAT ORDER" in my
drop-down list. What's happening on the right side of my
screen in XP??? What a FRICKIN MESS!!! and (2) when I
format a paragraph, I use that paragraph to then update a
style. I'm aware in XP, on the right, how a right-click on
a style name may SOMETIMES offer the option to "update
from selected paragraph" or whatever, but SOMETIMES that
option is gray, and I'm stuck with a weird style name that
is my original style an unwanted PLUS SIGN and then
whatever attribute I failed to fold into the original
style. What's going on? Any good links for cool
explanations? Etc?
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can offer. Tag: Bookmarks/urls Tag: 59117

Jewel Case DVD inserts - 1 additional question, please!
Referring back to a previous post dated 2/20 @ 1:04 p.m. I can now manage
the text wrap by laying down a single cell/frame table and sizing it to the
exact overlay size as the template outline. I then used a drawing canvas to
place my image on to make it more manageable. The text then wraps
beautifully. Only one more problem for me, I can't figure out how to insert
a background color or texture behind the text and image. One can insert
anything in a textbox, except textwrap. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Also, am I following the best procedure for this project? Tag: Bookmarks/urls Tag: 59090

Copy and Paste to Word 2003
I have been using Word 97 for three years now and attended two course in the
use of the Word programme.
Recently I purchased a new computer with Word 2003.
I have noticed that when I copy a paragraph from a document or webpage, open
Word 2003 and paste that paragraph into a new document (in Normal View)
there is a small icon alongside the paragraph. If Word 2003 is opened
before the paragraph is copied and pasted then this icon does not appear.
When this icon is enlarged it looks like a small calculator or handheld
computer.
I have asked my course tutor what it is and he has never seen it before.
Can anyone explain the reason for or use of this icon?

area. Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks,

Wheel mouse - wheel won't scroll Word 95 documents
I have two computers - a desktop running Windows 98SE and a Toshiba
Laptop running Windows XP Professional. Both machines have Word 95
installed. The laptop also has Word 2002. On the Windows 98SE
machine, my wheel mouse wheel scrolls Word 95 documents without any
problem.
On my laptop, my wheel mouse wheel scrolls Word 2002 documents without
any problem, but not Word 95 documents.
The laptop has one of those touch pads, which I hate to use. I bought
an HP optical USB Mouse, and I installed it on the laptop. For a
while, the wheel mouse wheel scrolled Word 95 documents properly, but
I found that if I powered off the laptop, when I started it up again,
the ability to scroll Word 95 documents via wheel was gone. I also
found that the HP mouse driver was no longer present in the mouse
region of the control panel. In effect, I had to reinstall the HP
mouse driver every time I booted from power off in order to have it
functioning and be able to scroll Word 95 documents via wheel.
When the HP mouse driver was functioning, there was a place in its
dialogs that provided some fix for problems scrolling Microsoft Word
documents by wheel. I forget the exact label, but it cured the
problem until the next power off. I had conversations with Toshiba
tech support, but they said that the HP driver was not supported by
the machine, and that when it boots up, XP would replace the HP driver
with its generic mouse driver. My calls to HP tech support were met
with no solution.
All this time, I had been using a Microsoft Optical USB wheel mouse on
my desktop Windows 98SE machine. So I switched the two mice. The HP
mouse works fine on the desktop machine, with no problem in scrolling
Word 95 documents via wheel. The Microsoft mouse is now on the
laptop. I installed a freshly downloaded Microsoft Intellipoint 5.0
driver on the laptop, and that driver stays installed even when I
power the laptop down and then start it up again. However, just as
with the HP mouse, the wheel will not scroll Word 95 documents.
Furthermore, there is nothing on the Intellipoint dialog or its help
file that alludes to any such issue. Similarly, I haven?t found
anything on the Microsoft Knowledge Base that addresses it.
Does anybody have a suggested cure?

Flush Right with dotted leaders?
Hi there,
I'm totally new with MS Word XP and need something that I liked to use very
often in WordPerfect, which is called "Flush Right with Dotted Leaders".
It means that I can type something on a new line, and before the next word,
I can hit the specific button and the next word moes straight away to the
right with dots between the two words. It's almost something like a list of
contents in the front of a book with the name of the chapter on the left
and the page number on the right with dots in between.
I hope my wording is fine and that you can help me out here.

Aligning vertically
Hi, I have a table with 2 columns and several rows.
On the left columns I use font ARIAL BLACK and right column Arial.
I am trying to vertically align the lines so that it reads properly from
right to left but because the fonts are different (or some other reason that
I obviously dt know), I cannot match the alignment so that it is smooth. It
always ends up slightly off.
I have tried everything I cd such as "space before" and "space after" and
line spacing using "multiple" etc., but that is obviously not the right way.
(It is the mickey mouse way.....)
Surely there is a "standard" way to align these lines.
