    - Setting a style on a list item I can't seem to set a style on a list item without it taking it out of the list. If I have: 1) test1 2) test2 And I set something like "Heading 1" to set the style based on "list" or something else, it takes it out of the list and the list becomes: test1 1) test2 How do I set a style that doesn't affect the list and only does nothing to the text or list. I am just trying to set up a style that I can use in my TOC. Thanks, Tom Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103835

    - Table of Contents multiple styles I am trying to create a table of contents which I can almost get to work. The problem is I need 2 styles for the same level. The way the document is set up, most of the lines I want on level 1 are Times New Romans and 12. The appendix happens to be in Times New Romans and 16. Level 2 happens to be Times New Romans and 12 also. So what I did was set up Headings 1 and Headings 2 as Times New Romans 12 and Headings 3 as Times New Romans and 16 (and applied Headings 3 to Appendix. But if I try to set the TOC levels of Headings 1 and Heading 3 to level 1 and Headings 2 to level 2, Headings 3 becomes unchecked and doesn't show up in the contents at all. Is there some way to set up the table of contents to use the multiple styles for the same level? Thanks, Tom Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103833

    - Office 2007 Speech Recognition - or lack thereof Does anyone have any resolution to the fact we've lost the ability to use XP's speech recognition engine if a clean install of office 2007 (had to uninstall office 2003 as the 2007 install failed 1st time around...) was performed ?

    - MS Word 2007 Compatability Ok, am frustrated...after upgrading to Office 2007 from 2003, I cannot open any Word 2007 documents from this one PC. I've set the default save to Word 97-2003 to save as a .doc file, but when I send these to users of Office 2003 I'm told the error messages include words like, ...problem opening this file, ....corrupt, etc... I've attempted the diagnostics (no problems resulted) - haven't tried to re-install to see if it will do the old Microsoft "repair...." - Anyone got ideas ? I don't want to (unless I have to) roll back because it "kludges" things all up! Ugh. Thanks ! Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103823

    - Upside down text Office 2002 A4 portrait folded to make cover of an A5 menu. The event (So-and-so's Dinner) in a text box in the bottom half of the A4 sheet. Historical information in another text box at the top of the A4 so, when folded, it will appear in the back of the cover. How can I rotate the back cover text box 180deg so the text is upside down? (I see text direction in a text box can be sideways up or sideways down so it would be possible to do the whole thing on an A4 landscape with one text box up and the other down, but I should prefer to do it with a180deg rotation.) Will there be any loss of print quality? Francis Hookham Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103797

    - Optional Next Style Styles can define the style for the next paragraph. Is there anyway to only use the next style if something is entered? I'd like to create a pair of styles for Q & A. The Q style would format the line for a question and would define the next style as an A style. The A style would format the line as an answer and define the next style as a question. If nothing is entered on the Q style line, then the next line should be Normal. John... Visio MVP Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103767

    - Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation edition This posting is directed to anyone using Office Standard 2007 MAE, or to anyone using Office Standard 2003 MAE. I recently learned that MS offers an Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation Edition (MAE), at a substantial discount over OS 2007 (The suite was a recently advertised item at my local U.S. Navy Exchange.) As a vet, I qualify for MEA. The MEA suite is a complete OS 2007 suite, however, I am concerned about the EULA. It prohibits the use of the suite for commercial, government, or non-profit usages. Aside from the personal joy that I receive from having genuine MS installed on my home cpu, I also need to bring work home from the office, or I need to initiate work related documents (commercial proposals, etc.) from home. My questions are- If I install MAE, will I encounter compatability issues with a corporate licensed edition? Will a home created document become corrupted at the office, or vice-versa? Will the creation of a corporate document on my home PC, place my company into a potentially illegal positon? If this occurs, or if I open my company to litigation for violating the EULA then the suite is not a bargain. Any comments would be appreciated. -- Tom Conrad Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103765

    - Office upgrade I thought I would ask you folks for your opinions on something I am thinking of just now: I have Office 2003 Professional installed on my PC (running Windows XP). I bought the Professional version as, at the time, I did quite a bit of stuff on Access. I have recently downloaded a Trial Office 2007 which I quite like. When the Trial version runs out in November, I need to decide on the options, i.e. Purchase a full version of Office 2007 Purchase an upgrade to Office 2007 (this is less expensive but are there disadvantages?) Which version? Now that I no longer use Access very often, would it be OK just to buy the Standard version and continue to (occasionally) use Access 2003 which I have already. I mainly use Word, Outlook and Excel. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. TIA Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103717

    - new end notes; old document I have a couple hundred end notes that I manually link to superscripted numbers in the text of an old document. Needless to say, it's tedious to change them manually when I add new end notes. At least I have the end notes renumbering automatically. But how do I convert them so that the superscript number in the text automatically changes when the end note number changes as I add new end notes randomly? Note that there are end notes that are NOT linked to any of the text as well. I'm using Word 2003 and apologize if this is an obvious question, or, more properly, if the answer is obvious.

    - Working spreadsheet within Word The reports I write usually contain 20 pages of written material (word) and another 10-15 pages of spreadsheets (excel). Currently, I make PDFs and put all the excel pages at the end of the document as an appendix. What I'd really like to do is embed the Excel spreadsheet throughout the Word document so that I'm not always saying "see spreadsheet in appendix for details". I know I can paste tables, but I really would like to manipulate the spreadsheet calculations of necessary without having to continually repaste tables, so that's why I'm thinking "embedded" spreadsheet. Additionally, I'd like to "grab" some of the resultant calculations from the spreadsheet and feed it into a line of text within the Word document. I've heard that GoBe Productive can do this, but I really would not like to switch over all of our users...training nightmare... Can I do the above Word/Excel combo? If not, is MS working on it?

    - Word not saving a default option. Why not? Hey guys, I was having a problem with Word 2007 earlier today. It was creating spaces between lines of text where I didn't want it to. For example: It would do this instead of do this. I figured out how to correct the problem by going to Paragraph and checking the "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" option. Then I clicked on the "default" button, and clicked on YES to change the template. However, I opened up a new document and it went back to adding spaces again. I tried reselecting the option, clicking on default twice--once before I checked the option, once after, all sorts of things, but Word simply won't save it as default. Anything I can try? Thanks!

    - weird paragraph marks Using Word 2k. I've been given a Word file with what looks like simple slabs of text, just one paragraph after another. I'm processing the file for DTP, and my layout app was choking on what it saw as huge paragraphs. In Word I have tabs and pars visible, and I see the backwards P at the end of each paragraph (not the bent arrow for a manual linebreak). But there is something odd about many of these paragraphs. If I save to RTF and open the file resulting in Wordpad, many of these marks have disappeared and the paragraphs run together. If I do a triple-click in Word, to select a para, several of these "paragraphs" are highlighted, over a page. If I do search and replace for ^p, only a few paragraph marks are found. Ultimately I found that by saving as HTML, then opening that in Word again, then saving back, I converted these things to "normal" paragraph marks. Any idea what's going on, and a simpler way to convert them to normal paragraph markers? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Sending documents from Word 2007 to friends with Word 2006 Tag: 103624

No such thing as Word 2006, you probably mean 2003.

Use the "Save As" facility in 2007 and save the files in the older format or
have your friends either purchase 2007 or install the viewers from
Microsoft.
