    - Parse document into table rows dilemma. Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to take a word document and somehow feed it into another blank word document so it ends up in a table with two columns. Each paragraph would be broken out into a separate row. One of the two columns would remain blank (preferrably the first one). The reason I need to do this is because I do data analysis on voice automated outreach via phone. I currently have to read each of the scripts we use for the phone calls and figure out where in the script each field is that's capturing the responses. The need for two columns is so that I can type in the field name next to the paragraph and not mess up the indentation order. If this is not clear let me know and I will clarify.

    - Remove Highlighting Running Office 2003 under Win XP I recently received a file that had some passaged highlighted in yellow. When I was done what I was doing, I went to remove the highlighting. But I had deleted the highlighting button from the button bar because I never highlight things. I was unable to find any menu command that would permit me to remove the highlight. Is there one, and does anyone know where it is? I ended up just deleting all of the text and typing it back in--an annoying task. Thanks for any help. Tom Tag: View - Zoom - Page width problem Tag: 105906

    - Organisation Charts I have a Word document that includes an organisation chart. They were created with Word 2000, within Office 2000. I now have Office XP and am trying to edit the document. However when I click on the organisation chart to edit it I get a message to say that the source file and application cannot be found. I have looked through the Office directory and cant find the Org application that was part of Office 2000. There is an Organisation Chart which is included in the Insert Picture Option but it isn't as flexible as the old version. Anyone any ideas as to how I can edit the chart? Is there a download I can add for the old version of Org? Thanks Tony Tag: View - Zoom - Page width problem Tag: 105905

    - OEM vs Retail Licences question. Hi Guys, Ok, probably not exactly the right group for this question, but this is one of the most active and knowledgable group I visit, so hopefully someone will at least be able to tell me the right place to go and ask about this... My company(well, the one I work for) has about 10-15 computers running (mostly) Windows2000 and Word(/Office)2000. We are considering upgrading to XP and Office2007. Looking at licence pricing, it looks like it's going to cost us several thousand pounds to do this! Now, there are companies on the internet that sell OEM versions of XP and Office2007 at considerably less than the retail price. My questions are: 1) Is this legal, ie is there any chance of having the licence police coming a-knocking...? 2) If it IS legal, are there any catches or potential problems with going this route? I've always been a believer in the saying "If something looks too good to be true, then it probably isn't", and that appears to be the case with buying OEM licences. (My understanding is that it's based on the fact that although OEM licences can only be sold to 'system builders' the definition of 'System Builder' is fairly fuzzy, and these companies exploit that loophole.) Like I said, if you can't give me a definitive answer here, just point me to a better place to ask. Thanks! -- Regards, Chris.

    - Alt key commands (accented letters) Greetings. I am trying to write some text in French in Word. The problem is that when I use the Alt key commands, the accented characters that come up are automatically changed from Times New Roman font to Lucida Sans Unicode. However do I get this change to stop happening? I want the letters to appear in times New Roman font just like the rest of the test. also, I do not want to use Character Map or Word's symbol feature to produce these letters as such would take too much time. Thank you for your assistance. Tag: View - Zoom - Page width problem Tag: 105893

At present, I have to go to Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar > Check Spelling As You Type. This can get quite tiresome if I need to switch spelling on and off quite frequently. --- Similarly, is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to select/deselect another of the option on that Spelling & Grammar window?

    - How do you turn of the autocomplete insertions of dates? When I write texts I see these flashing texts that are autocompletions of dates etc. On common such is when I write the swedish word "den". This could be the start of a date such as "den 27 november" but that is rather uncommon. Instead "den" is a very common word in swedish (like "the" in english) so I see these unecessary flashing texts a lot. How do I turn oft these? I get irritated by seeing them.

    - Word 97 and Open Office I've just bought a new machine, well, a late model Pentium. I gather it has never been used before; I had it custom built with 160G hard drive capacity and 256Mb of memory. It came with Open Office which I've used before and which I'm told mimics Word. However, when I create documents they are always in a box, and when when create an html file I get lines in it. Does anyone know how to solve these compatability problems?

    - Vista-Word 2007-HP Officejet 5610 Quirk Due to a breakdown in a computer using XP, and having been using WordPerfect for many years, I find myself with a new HP Pavilion computer, running Vista Home Premium, using Word 2007 and a new printer. I have encountered no problem in preparing, saving and printing single copies of documents. However on the rare occasions when I asked Word to print multiple copies it won't. Each has to be printed individually. Attempts to get e-mail help from HP didn't get very far. Either they misunderstood or could only suggest that I make multiple copies after I had run one off. I realize that the printer should make multiple copies on its own but does it not respond to Word. Tag: View - Zoom - Page width problem Tag: 105720
