Does anyone know of a good free PDF to WORD converter? I only need it for a

Thanks for your response.

expanding Headers

Conditional fields
I'm just starting to appreciate and understand conditional fields in page
numbering. Although I don't at this time need to have the following
circumstances apply, I was just thinking "what if?"
Suppose I wish to have the Page 1 header of a document read "Beginning" and
the last page to read "The End" with all pages in between showing the actual
page numbers.
Could I do this all in one header or do I need to divide the document into
sections? Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 89041

Exam question wrong about Word? Opinions, please!
I had an exam in which the following question was asked:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/digitaltoast/OCR_ICT_L2_602_q22.png
(You may need to "click the pic" to make it full size)
There were 4 questions, but as we were under exam conditions, I had to do a
rather clandestine screen dump to the fileserver, so I didn't get the other
two options, but there were regarding alignment, I think "paragraph
alignment" and "indent". Definitely nothing to do with it.
So, we are left with "font" and "font size".
Definitely not font. But not font size either! So, I called an invigilator
over. She scratched her head, and along came another one.
Eventually, they said "skip that question, see us after".
So, I was sent to the the Office expert, who said "Ah, this is font - the
font size is different".
She then struggled to demonstrate it on Word 2000. She was able to make a
bullet change size, but could not make the line text the SAME size as shown,
AND get the font size dropdown to show a consistant font.
We then tried it on Word 2002. This time, she was able to highlight the
bullets, and make them change size.
But this time they didn't change pattern!
She gave up and said "it must be a different version, I don't know, but the
question cannot be wrong."
This is the ONE question I got wrong (because I hadn't answered it), had
this question been possible, I would have got 100%.
Yes, I still passed, but I'd like to get it sorted properly, for the sake of
other people in the future.
So, before I make a fool of myself to the exam board, is there ANY way this
question CAN be right?
For me, it was just about the satisfaction of getting 100%, but for someone
else, that question might be the difference between pass and fail. Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 89032

creating online forms
Hello,
I'm trying to develop an online questionnaire to access people's
satisfaction with an assessment tool. I want to email the questionnaire to
people, ask them to fill it out, and then email it back. The only way I
found to do this is to create a webform with a 'submit' button included at
the bottom. When I formatted the submit button, I set the submit form method
to 'POST'. The email response I get back contains the information but it
includes a series of extra numbers and symbols. Two questions then,
(1) Is there an easier way of doing this?
(2) Is there some way to open the sent text file within the questionnaire
without the extra text and symbols?
I am a relatively new user and only somewhat familiar with MS Word. THis
project was dropped in my lap a few days ago and its causing me nothing but
frustration. Help! Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 89022
Add to Favorites Missing in Word 2003
I've found where Suzanne Barnhill said : "Instead of adding the (Windows)
Favorites folder to the places bar, why don't you create a Favorites folder
in Word and add shortcuts to your most-used documents there, then add that
folder to the Places Bar?"
Can someone give me a step-by-step on how to do this? It sounds so simple,
but I can't get it to work. Thank you so much for your help.

Still frustrated trying to add buttons!
It seems like adding menu command and macro buttons to my toolbars has
become specific to documents, or at least Word instances, in Word XP. I was
in Word 2000 last month, and had no problems adding a button for a menu
command or a macro to a toolbar - it would be there the next time I opened
Word, and it would be there for every document. Not so in Word XP - a
button added may not be there the next time I open a different document.
For example, I am using strike-through a lot on my current report, so I
added the button through Tools >> Customize. I can open the report doc
again and it's still there. While the report doc is open, I click New - and
the button is missing! Normal.dot has been saved a dozen times since I
added that button - but it's not there is a New doc created on Normal!
What gives??!?

preserve/keep original vertical spacing and layout after deleting paragraph or sentences
Hi,
I am working with 10 (soon to be 14 and later on 18) word.docs that are
about 25 pages each. These are kinda / sorta annual statement type
reports. Each year, certain paragraphs change substantially, are
deleted entirely (no longer applies), or new paragraphs / sentences are
inserted.
Example: say at the top of page 12, I want to delete an entire
paragraph, or a piece of it. Word automatically shifts upward
everything after what was deleted, disrupting the layout and indivdual
page headers and footers. Since these word.docs are not final, I want
the space that was occupied with what was just deleted to remain - it
may be used for a replacement paragraph or sentence later, or it will
remain blank, which is OK. I want everything that was after the area
of deletion to stay where it was originally.
These word.docs are mega-important, and ASAP turnaround is required. I
currently have 10, which will become 14, and later 18. Using the enter
/backspace /delete keys to shift things back to their original
locations, or to restore some aesthetically OK appearance (and
re-working headers / footers) is becoming increasingly time consuming
and burdensome. In short, I want the word.docs to behave as if each
page is a separate compartment - deleting a paragraph in one page will
not affect the text layout & header/footers of any subsequent pages.
If anyone can provide a solution, or anything that can at least
mitigate this problem, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have
researched this issue without success.
PS - I inherited these word.docs from prior users, and re-building from
scratch won't be an option due to time constraints.
Thanks in advance for any replies. Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 89006

Merging documents
Whatever happened to the simple way to merge a document in Word? I can't
even find information on it so I will be ever grateful to anyone who can
help me.
I ahve a simple document, with about 10 places where the data changes. It
is not a letter, it is not an email, it is not a fax, nor any of theo ther
documents the merge tries to make you do. The main document is a regular
document with regular information. The variable data is a regular document,
not a database. I believe I can do the main document but I can't figure out
how to do the variable document.
In the main document, I have several fields in several places as follows:
{MERGEFIELD "Email address"} or {MERGEFIELD "Section"} or {MERGEFIELD
"Color"}
My data is similar to the following:
aaa@bbb.com
Wall Dividers
Red
I seem to remember a way to enter the above data so that aaa@bbb.com always
will merge into the Email address field, so you didn't have to worry about
having exactly the right number of data, etc.. Can someone tell me how I'm
supposed to be doing this? Thank you very very much. Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 89002

Perplexing Word Problem
I'm not a new user but I don't see another place to post this.
Word 2003 (from Office 2003):
When I open word and start a new blank document, my cursor is positioned
at the very top of the page, and that is where typed text is placed,
even though a one-inch top margin is set.
I am an experienced word user (since 1991), and I cannot find out what
is causing this.
I've delted normal.dot and let word recreate it, and it doesn't help.
If I go to View / Header and Footer and then immediately click close
(without doing anything), the cursor is then positioned in the proper
place, as specified by the page setup top margin.
Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Word HTML Emails Send Graphics as Attachments
I'm using Word to put together a newsletter that will get sent out as a HTML
email. During testing I have found that a recipient using Outlook sees it
as intended (formatting and graphics look great). A user viewing the same

However, in Hotmail any graphics that were included in the message also show
up as attachments. Is there a way to prevent the graphics from also being
sent out as attachments?

FIGURED OUT TEXT LINES
I just sent a nastygram to MS over the inability to determine what

Word 2K.
However, I am STILL upset that I don't have my Office toolbar anymore with
this new Office 2003 version. I used that toolbar to access all of my
standard office and non office applications in one click and now i've had to
update my quick launch area with those same applications (and not all of
those at that).
Would MS consider returning the toolbar to Office 2003????? Pleasssssssssse!

Vertical bar on left side of page and unusual formatting, how to clear?
I don't know how this got started. Obviously, I hit some keys that caused
it but I have not seen this before and can't figure out how to clear it.
On the left side a my Word document, a vertical line has appeared near the
bottom and on the left side. And, when I type additional text there now, it
is underlined and is an orange/brown color. And, I discovered that, if I
move my cursor to another part of the document, above where this got
started, the vertical bar appears if a type any changes to that part of the
document and that new text is also in the colored and underlined font.

Spell check not working properly?
Here's one for you Suzanne. (I mention you by name because you seem to
spend your life on here, helping strugglers like me!).
I have Word 2000 on Windows 98.
The spell check often lets mis-spelled words go - DINNING (when I meant
DINING) comes to mind. I've looked in my dictionaries and dinning
doesn't appear to be an actual word of its own. It is not in the custom
dictionary so I haven't accidentally added it during a previous spell
check. Is there a way of editing it out of the main english
(Australian) dictionary.
The other thing that happens is that the spellcheck seems to isolate
just the parts of words that I'd previously edited using the track
changes option. So for example I may have changed HOPING to HOPED and
spell then highlights the ED on its own and thinks it's a mistake. Any
comments?
One other thing, sometimes find won't pick up a sequence of charcetres
but if I delete and retype them it now does!
I've tested the files in question by saving them as HTM, which appeared
to pick up the normal.dot curruption I previously suffered (and I've
started a completely fresh normal. dot after renaming the old one), and
toggled on the prompt me.... Tag: Scroll wheel Tag: 88894
