    - 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: What is "tabbed" text?

    - 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: What is "tabbed" text? 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.

When I set it up, I chose an enormous number of foreign language capabilities, but now regret that I have a font choice for Arabic and Japanese, because those are the least likely to be used.

    - Find and Replace I need to make bold the phrases and words that appear in all caps in a long document. I thought I was doing okay in the find and replace area, but nothing I try works. Could it be that when inputting a document, unless one goes to the Font dialog box and chooses the "all caps" option, caps won't showup in find and replace using wildcards? I tried applying all caps that way and they were found immediately, but in the document at hand, nothing I try finds them. I'm sure they were applied by just holding down the cap lock. Am I overlooking something simple? Tag: What is "tabbed" text? Tag: 107207

    - 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: What is "tabbed" text? Tag: 107201

    - Replace Text Hi Everyone, I am using Word 2003. When I select text and want to replace it with what I type or paste from another document, the text gets inserted in front of the selected text, then I have to delete the text. I keep hitting my insert key and that seems to toggle the function off but it keeps reverting back to inserting instead of replacing. I looked around in the help file and found in the Tools/Options/Edit Tab, the Overtype mode checkbox. This is unchecked. I check the box and my procedure works once again but the setting keeps getting unchecked if I close and then reopen word. My other check boxes stay checked but this one won't. BTW, is this a new thing with word 2003? If so, what's the rationale? I am thinking most people expect when they select text and type over it, the old text should be deleted instead of moved aside.

It has various meanings, the most obvious is making a list comprising
columns using set tabs to separate the columns evenly. It may also mean a
form in which you use the TAB key to move from input field to the next input
field. It may just mean text that has been tabbed into a particular
alignment such as centre tabbed, decimal tabbed or right-align tabbed
(flushed right).

This particular phrase doesn't have any specific meaning in Word AFAIK. It
may refer to text separated by tab characters; see
