    - Margins etc Something has gone wrong somewhere in my page settings but this isn't something that I've set before. Previously when I opened a new blank page, the cursor would be a few lines down and rules set which I really like. Now, the cursor flashes at the very top of the page but the margins are still as they where which is good. How do I set it so the cursor automatically sits a few lines down from the top of the page? Thanks in advance. Tag: Exponents Tag: 107392

    - Cheapest way to buy MS Word I am in the UK. A friend of mine who is also in the UK uses Word 2000 but it doesn't have some features she needs. Things like "Legal Blackline" and "improved Change Tracking". What would be the cheapest (legal) way for her to get a more up to date version of Word? Amazon UK is showing a price of approx £70 for Word 2007's "Home & Student Edition" (and £75 reduced from £120 for the same edition of Office 2007. Is the Home and Student Edition of Word a reduced function version? ----------- Would it be cheaper if she gets an upgrade from Word 2000. On the other hand, could she buy Word 2003 secondhand from another user who has gone to Office 2007? Do MS licences permit this? Tag: Exponents Tag: 107368

    - Word 2003 - how to go to the end of a line Hi there, I've just upgraded from Windows 2000 to 2003 and when I am typing away, I want to go to the end of the current line occasionally. In 2000, I tapped the 'End' key and hey presto, there I was. Now, in 2003 I can't find a key combination to do it and it is driving me nuts. I am absolutely sure it is a trivial thing to do but I can't find a thing about it in help. I can go to the end of the document or I can end an on-line conversation and many other combinations of the word End but, sadly, no 'Go to the end of the current line' Can somebody point me at it please. -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") Tag: Exponents Tag: 107364

    - Mail Merge from an Exel Database A little over a year ago I successfully printed labels from an Excel database on this machine using Office 2003 Word and Excel under XP SP2. I put the Excel database in My Data Sources and things went very well after a few false starts and a lot of help from these NG's. I have another machine that has Word 2003 and Excel 2003 on it but does not have a My Sources folded on it. It seems that is the key to success. What do I have to do to that machine in order to have My Data Sources so that I can mail merge labels. Just creating a folder by that name doesn't seem to satisfy. Thank you very much.

    - Installing MS Office on an external drive? Is it possible to install MS Office on an external drive (such as removable hard drive connected through a USB port)? I want to do this so I can carry the software from one machine to another. According to my understanding, this should be perfectly legal with regards to the licensing agreement because all Microsoft wants is that the software be used only at one machine at a time, which is true for this scenario. Let me know if my understanding is incorrect. I do not know whether or not it is technically feasible. If the software uses files on the external and internal drives in order to run, then could there be a compatibility issue when the drive is connected to a machine different than the machine on which it was originally installed? Let me know if you have used the software in this way, and the issues, if any, that you faced. Thanks very much for looking at this post. All answers are appreciated. Tag: Exponents Tag: 107337

    - Home Made Letterhead for Fish Companies I work for seafood companies originating in several different countries. I have been "creating" letterheads for each of these companies for the last few years. They each want an image, such as a salmon, lobster, fishing boat, etc...in their letterhead and I have always found black and white images to suit each situation. Question is that I have been placing the image in the header so there is more room for the letterhead info. One client has to have two different names, two cell numbers, three home office numbers, two email addresses and one mailing address. It is top heavy to say the least. I have perused the templates at MS Online, but they do not fit well as I have so much info, names, etc...to put in. As well, many of the letters that I do are sent via email, not being printed out and when viewing, the header, with the image, is slightly lighter. I know to read these in Print Preview, but not everyone that I send email to are very great with computers, salmon, yes, not this kind of stuff. Any suggestions that would help me do this better or tricks of the trade would be appreciated. I come to this site everyday and look through your archives and have learned so much. Thank you for all that contribute to this newsgroup. Joanne Tag: Exponents Tag: 107329

    - What property makes a table lose its' "adjustability? Sometimes I'm working with a table and I try to manually adjust the width and height of a table, and I'm able to do so by hovering the mouse pointer until it forms 2 parallel lines with tiny arrows. But there are times when I do the same thing and the row line or column line just snaps back to its' original size. What causes that and is there anything I can do about it?

    - template troubles I have a user template file that is used to make instructution sheets for the completion of work tasks. The template has a button on it that ads the user in printing out other attachments that are always printed when instruction sheets are printed. For the most part this template has worked great and has not resulted in any complications until now. Some of the instructions that have been written have overflowen to 2 or more pages and the current button prints the current page with the attached sheets but neglects the remaining pages. So now the user has to go to Page 2 and so on and press the button again on those pages to print the pages out which results in the attached pages being printed once again. Is there a way to code this button first of all so it only appears on page one of the document, and that it can understand that if there is more then one page within this document that those pages will be printed also along with only one copy of the attached files? I have attached the code found under this button. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Application.PrintOut FileName:="", _ Range:=wdPrintCurrentPage, _ Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _ Copies:=1, _ Pages:="", _ PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ ManualDuplexPrint:=False, _ Collate:=True, _ Background:=True, _ PrintToFile:=False, _ PrintZoomColumn:=0, _ PrintZoomRow:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 Application.PrintOut FileName:="", _ Range:=wdPrintRangeOfPages, _ Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _ Copies:=1, _ Pages:="2-3", _ PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _ ManualDuplexPrint:=False, _ Collate:=True, _ Background:=True, _ PrintToFile:=False, _ PrintZoomColumn:=0, _ PrintZoomRow:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _ PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0 End Sub Tag: Exponents Tag: 107297

    - Word 2007: Clip Art as watermark? Hello, Just wondering if it's possible to use a clipart picture for a watermark in 2007 like you could in previous versions. Can it be done, or am I limited to the text watermarks and pictures (not from the Clip Art Gallery) accessible through the Printed Watermark dialog box? Or must I insert the Clip Art, change it's wrapping to Behind Text and then experiment with the brightness and contrast commands? I'm hoping there's a more streamlined way. Many thanks in advance for any and all help. Bart Tag: Exponents Tag: 107272

    - 'rogue' styles? I'm creating rather a large document http://jethrouk.members.beeb.net/Induction%20Checklist%202.7.doc I am using a table to keep the document in sections - I have also created two indexes (front & back) to reflect the headings - originally I defined the headings style as "Heading 1" so i can include this in my indexes My problem/frustration is that without warning all the styles seem to change to 'Char1' - They dont appear any different but it will not let me change the style back to anything else - everything in the document is 'char1' I spent the whole of today creating a brand new blank document - copied all the text into notepad (only way to flush it out) - then copied it to the blank document as 'normal' text - copy/pasted all the pictures back in - reset all the bulleted text (one-by-one) - reset all the titles (one-by-one) - created two new indexes - and now all the styles have evaporated again - grrrrrrrrrrr! 1/ Whats going on? 2/ I often have to flush out 'rogue' text styles from an exhaustive word doc - is there quicker way than copy to notepad - and copy back to word (but retain tables/pics)?

    - Qwestion about how MS word sees tables. I you create a table 5 columns and 6 rows, and then use the tables and borders function to erase all the horizontal lines in the first column, and erase (inrow 1) columns 2,3 and 4 .....does MS word act as if the rows and columns were never erased? I ask this because in trying to use the functions Distribute Rows evenly and Distribute columns evenly, I can use the former but not the latter, when I select the entire table. The error message I get is: Word cannot distruibute the selected columns. When the selection contains cells that extend across more than one row, the number of columns selected must be the same for all rows in the selection. Please explain this. Thanks in advance.

    - Best way to convert numbered document to our system Although I've been converting numbered documents brought in from other law offices to our numbering system for years, I know there has to be a more efficient way than I've been doing. Since other people and I will be making new versions and editing the document many times, I've been--just for safety sake--copying the doc, pasting unformatted text and starting all over again with the numbering system. You know just how long this can take if the document is 70 pages long and--after pasting unformatted text--there's a paragraph sign after each line! Is it "safe"--instead of pasting totally unformatted text--to use the smart tag "keep text only" option and go from there? I'm curious as to how real experts would approach this oft-recurring task. I'd like to nail down the best system once and for all. And I appreciate all you've done to make me a better word processor! Tag: Exponents Tag: 107201
