    - custom dictionaries...creating and associating I am an author of fantasy fiction and would like to be able to associate particualar documents with specific dictionaries. I know from reading some of the posts that a costom dictionary would be great for me since all my made up words, names and such wouldn't be clogging my "normal" dictionary. However, I have had a couple of strokes and have a great deal of trouble with sorting through the wealth of information out there. If someone could be so kind as to point me in the right direction, or at least let me know if what I am thinking of is possible, I would be most appreciative. What I need is a specific dictionary (or more than one) that can be attatched to a group of documents. Also: How do I make sure that the words are entered into the appropriate dictionary. Thanks for your concideration. -- Siuan Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91811

    - Request for Help: Sending HTML Email, without any images embedded; details in message body First part of what I've done: I have created HTML document using Microsoft Word 2003 with a body of text and saved as .HTML format. Next, I opened the file in NotePad to add my thumbnail / images code from PhotoBucket (image host), to insert clickable thumbnails into the page. The file is saved again. First test of the file by opening in Internet Explorer 6.0 shows my code is correct; thumbnails are functional and links work as expected. Close all applications. Second part of what I've done: Now, in Explorer, I right-click my HTML file and "Open with Word 2003". My page displays, much as it did in Internet Explorer, except I can edit text and move thumbnails (if desired). I click the "Email" icon on the toolbar (Fifth icon from left) and now enter the recipient address. I click send, and off my message goes. Problem: My thumbnail images (small versions, also on the server with main images) are embedding into the message and thus bloating the message size from 10 KB (.HTML) to over 50 KB (sent message). Help: How do I prevent Word / Outlook from embedding these thumbnails into the body of the message? I want the recipient to receive a bare bones, 10 KB HTML message, whereupon the thumbnails will download into their client upon opening the message. Rant: I've tried opening the document as described above, doing cut/paste from Word, opening in Internet Explorer and doing "Send Page in Email" which just attaches a .HTML file that they would manually have to open. I need some help. :( Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91805

    - Convert html to doc while capturing its graphics Word 97 I can open an .html file via Word and then save that file as .doc. However that file's graphic images are not embedded into the doc. file like they would be if the .doc were created from scratch and the images were inserted into it. Is there a way to save the .html file as a doc. file in such a way that the images associated with the .html file become embedded into the .doc file? Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by...

    - Word 2003 curser moves into previously typed paragraphs When writing a word document my curser move auomatically and begins to type what I am writing at present arbitraily into a previous written paragraph. This occurance is so constant it is almost immpossible to use the program.

    - Acrobat with Word Hi, I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 7 on my Dell computer running Windows XP. I intend on converting a few of my word documents (Word 2000) into PDFs. When I tried to convert multiple files it told me I can't because my security (macros) is set to high. It told me to go to the security section and call Adobe a trusted source. I went to tools -> macro -> security -> Trusted Sources and looked for a way to do this. Whatever I'm supposed to do I can't figure it out. There is no "add" tab, only a remove. Any help greatly appreciated. Sam Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91782

    - Autotext entry's formatting I've just gotten started with autotext and I can see that it will be an important time saver for me if I can figure out how to use it well. Usually while emailing, I have been using Alt+F3 to add a lot of new autotext entries and that works fine. My problem is that when I insert one of my autotext entries back into my document, usually an email, it is often times formatted with a different font, size, and/or color that that of the current paragraph. I have somehow created three different sets of autotext entries, named Normal, Normal(Web), and Plain Text. What can I do to have the entries in all three catagories available to me, but in the format of the current paragraph? Where are these files of autotext entries stored? Can I edit these files directly? Any and all help will be very much appreciated! Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91781

    - Skip mail merge fields from Excel Workbook when blank/zero I am creating mail merge letters (pay-slips) in Word 2003 from a list of about 300 employee records in Excel. The list has 28 fields and some of the values in some of the fields in the workbook are blank or zero. What I need is that, when a value is blank or zero, then that field (both field name and value) dosen't show at all on the letter so as to make each pay slip contain only data that is non-zero and therefore relevant to its recipient. E.g. if the 'Overtime' field for a record is blank/zero (meaning this employee does ont receive overtime) then that field doesnt even show on the letter. In the letter, each filed is in its own row in a table. I've tried using the "IF...Then...Else" condition for mail merge but it leaves a space in the row when a field is blank/zero resulting in too may empty rows in the letter. I'm looking for a solution to taking only the fields I want from the Excel sheet. Also, If there's a way to to automatically remove the empty rows in the table when they're blank I'd finish of the solution I'd started. Hope this makes sense.

    - Mail Merge problem with Word 2000 Hello to all. I've never used a service such as this before. Hopefully i'll do this right :). I have Word2002 at home, and do not have any problems. At work we have Word 2000 running on Win 2000 Pro. The problem I am having is with the Mail Merge. Specifically, it is when I am trying to insert a merge field in my form letter. I have produced a form letter in Word. I also created an address list in Excel to use as my data source. I have the Mail Merge toolbar displayed. When I click on the "Insert Merge Field" button, I see only two choices---<<NAME>> or <<AutoMergeField>>. I do not see the header choices in my data source. I have tried countless times to fix this, to no avail. Could someone please tell me just what it is I'm doing wrong? I don't know if I have to manually add fields to the "button" (if so, I don't know how) or if I need to do something special to my Excel sheet to have Word recognise it (again, I don't know how). About my data source--there are multiple sheets in the workbook, but all but one have been hidden. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. Don Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by...

    - Avoiding Direct Formatting I want to use styles properly and as much as possible, per wisdom or Word experts. I also know that Word does funky things when a user boldfaces or italicizes a section of text in a paragraph that is formatted using styles, creating a new StyleName + Bold in a list of styles. So, in situations where a user wants to boldface a few words for emphasis or italicize a title, what is best practice? Is there a way to avoiding direct formatting of text in these situations?

    - Corrupt graphics positions in Word after save,shut down,reopen In a 30 page document, in landscape orientation, 2x Columns, with a linked image on most pages, in Word 2003_I am finding that the position of many pictures and hence text become displaced, some times to an adjacent page.This happens after I have saved my perfected work, closed Word and then reopened later. Protecting the file before Save does not help. All the graphics are linked to but not embedded to the file which is about 1.5 MB in size. The graphics, photos mostly, are located in a directory adjacent to the *.doc file. I am trying to get the layout stable before converting to a PDF file but I cannot edit seriously in that format . The text formatting used is a simple regular scheme but I do find deciding the best for each image difficult when the layout keeps jumping about. Advice on the best strategy greatly appreciated-Otherwise my family will never learn their history! BriRedhead Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91711

    - Missing toolbars A client of mine reports he has lost all the toolbars (even the default 'File', 'Edit' ... 'Windows', 'Help') at the top of the screen in Word (although Excel is OK). He has uninstalled and re-installed Word but with no change. He suspects a faulty Registry. I haven't come across this before and I'm not convinced that running a Registry checker (either in its present state or after uninstalling Word) will have any effect. Any ideas please? Thanks.

    - Word 2003 date help In Word 2003 I opened a letter I had typed a few years ago and noticed that the date on it had changed to today's date. I opened a few other letters and the same thing happened yet on the fourth letter it did not change to date and it did indeed show the date that I had originally typed in. Why would that happed? Would this be due to how the date was entered in the first place? Either by the "Insert Date" from the menu or by just typing it in? Is there a setting somewhere that cause it to update the date? I would like for it not to automatically update and leave the date alone as originally entered. TIA Tag: Message "<doc> is being used by... Do you want to make a copy?" Tag: 91696
