    - HELP!... Word 2003 When using speech recognition along with Word 2002, making corrections was quite simple... use the mouse to highlight text errors, and then push the delete key on the keyboard to delete the offending text. Simple right?... Well now, with Word 2003, it won't let me do that. Are my settings wrong? Anybody else have this problem?... it's as though the delete key does not work with highlighted text in Word 2003.... Help!! Tag: Excel charts come in gray color Tag: 68187

    - Table as Macro/Template or what? I've been a casual user of Word XP for about two years. I hate every one of its "unprecedented number and variety of features," as touted by Microsoft. I wish there was a "dumb-down" button you could press that would reduce the program to a truly user-friendly word processor for somebody who has no "power-user" ambitions whatsoever. My current challenge is to save a table I have created in such a way that with the press of a key I can insert that table in a document in such a way that I can then enter values in one of the columns of the table to regularly record the severity of symptoms of a disease I am trying to track. I have attempted to read the "help" documents on tables, macros and templates. I am totally confused. Right now I have the table saved as a simple Word document (.doc). When I open that file then select the table and paste it into another document the table comes up all over the page. Then I have to go into the table menu and fiddle with the settings to finally get it to display properly so I can enter the values--then continue to type regular text below the table. I'm on a pretty tight time structure with a terminal disease. I really prefer to not spend my limited days struggling to learn the "unprecedented features" of Word. Help!!!

    - Custom numbering with chapter number In Word 2002, I have equations (made with Word's equation editor) that I need to number. The number must be on the far right side of the line with the equation, must be surrounded by parentheses and must have the form x.y, where x is the chapter number in which the equation appears and y is the number of the equation, which restarts at 1 in each chapter. For example, a = b + c (3.2) Is there a way to make numbers like this that update automatically as more equations are inserted? It seems like fields such as SEQ or LISTNUM would work, but I don't see how to get the chapter number or correct format with them. Thanks. Greg Tag: Excel charts come in gray color Tag: 68069

Is there any one who has ever had a simular problem and , what did you do to restore the defaults.

Am using Word 2002 and have been bringing in Excel charts
as "Link, Paste Special" into Word, as in previous
versions. When it comes in it is in a gray background,
with the figures in, which is different from the previous
versions of a white background. I have checked Word
options and Excel and have yet to find why this is
happening. My home computer does not operate this way
under the same enviornment. Does anyone have a clue where
the difference is? It is just harder to view the
spreadsheet in the document.

Hi

In Word, try Tools > Options > View. Is Field Shading set to "Always"? If
so, change it to "When Selected". This setting determines how fields are
displayed in a document. It is generally useful to be able to identify
fields, so I wouldn't recommend changing the setting to "Never". Note that
the grey shading doesn't print.

Hope this helps.
