    - How to make balloon comments larger Can someone tell me how to make balloon comments large enough to read? I have tried allocating a larger margin and larger width for comments; and I have set the Comment Text font to be larger than the main text. However the comments are still tiny - less than half the size of Normal text, even though my normal is 11 point and my Comment Text is 18 point. Thanks! Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105949

    - How to show macro names in Word 2007 I just got Word 2007 and added my mcros to that quick toolbar thing, whatever it's called. But I only see the symbol, not the macro name unless I hover.. Is there a way to see the label without having to hover my cursor over it? Otherwise I have lots of symbols that don't mean anything. Also, is there a way to customize a symbol, like in former Word versions? Thanks Anthony Giorgianni For everyone's benefit, please post back to the newsgroup. Replay address is fictitious.

    - changing default text wrapping for graphics Hello, I'm using Word 2007. I'm inserting a lot of graphics in my documents and I'd like most of them to be set "Top and bottom" with a 0.13" distance from top and bottom. Can I set this so that this will become the default? I can't see how this is done. Thank you. -- Jimmy Clay http://songofthecoyote.googlepages.com/home Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105926

    - A problem with footnotes I have a document that has an odd problem with a footnote. Example: Now is the time for all good men1 to come to the aid2 of their country4. _______________ 1 All able bodied men between the ages of 18 and 30=B6 2 Provide assistance where needed=B6 =B6 4 The country in which you live.=B6 The paragraph mark between 2 and 4 is taking up a number as though it was footnote 3 - but there is no footnote 3. I cannot delete the marker because Word considers it the last paragraph mark in a footnote, which cannot be deleted. I can delete and recreate the entire paragraphs above and below, recreate the footnotes in that area - add footnotes, delete footnotes and all that happens is the blank "footnote" in the footnote area simply travels somewhere else. The actual document is really large and has hundreds of footnotes - all are fine except for this particular issue. Retyping the footnotes is not an option. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or knowledge on how we can solve this issue? We will be truly grateful for any assistance!!! Thank you!! Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105924

    - Can I get Word 2007 to remember the View for each document? Is there any way to get Word 2007 to remember the "View settings" for each document and always open that document with the same settings? The settings I care most about are View (Print Layout, Draft, Outline), Zoom (100%, page width), Document Map (on/off), and the size and location of the window on the screen. I use different View settings for different documents, but I tend to use the same settings for the same document. As it is now, Word opens each document with the same settings as the last document opened (I think). I would also like this to apply to templates. That is, all documents based on a template open with those settings unless I change them. Thanks -- Office 2007 Pro on WinXP Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105912

    - View - Zoom - Page width problem I use Word 2003 on XP. I like writing / editing documents in Normal mode, and I use View - Zoom - page width to maximise the print size on the screen. Suddenly, today, this command is not altering the magnification. I don't think I re-set any setting. Can anyone suggest what might be going on? Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105909

    - 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: Windows Mail 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: Windows Mail 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. (Remove Elvis's shoes to email me) Tag: Windows Mail Tag: 105895

    - 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.

    - 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.
