How do I make a document fit on one page if it is multiple pages?
If I have a letter in Word 2000 format that if one or a couple of lines falls
on a second page that I would like all on one page, how do I accomplish this.
In WordPerfect, there is a button called "Make it Fit." Does Word have some
sort of function that works the same as WordPerfect? Please advise. Thank

Mail Merge and Spacing
Greetings:
I do a lot of mail merge for letter, envelopes and labels.
On 2003 mail merge the spacing between the lines of Name, Company, Address,
and City was the normal 1..... in 2007 there is an unnecessary space between
all the lines (looks like spacing 1.5) althought it is not that spacing and
is not identified when I go to paragraph where I was hoping to change the
settings in order not to have a predefined spacing between paragraphs.
The same happens when I type in a word document. If I allow the cursor to
freely wrap to the next line there is not this troubling space. But if I need
to press return to go to the next line the cursor jumps down at least 1.5 if
not 2 spaces. I don't want this to happen either on my word document, word
mail merge or word mail merge for envelope...
I need to get rid of this spacing. I have to get rid of this spacing.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get rid of this troubling
spacing... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This 2007 is really different... I was not prepared for it when the boss
installed it on the company server and then told us we had upgraded.

The horizontal scroll bar - why does it keep reappearing?
I'm using Word 2000 under Windows XP Pro SP2.
Is there a foolproof way of making the horizontal scroll bar go away for
good? However many times I've de-selected it under Tools/Options/View it
always reappears sooner or later - sometimes the very next time I open Word,
sometimes after a few weeks of daily use. The vertical scroll bar, on the
other hand, has remained decently invisible ever since I first turned it off
a year or so ago.
It's not, I realise, a particularly big deal - and it's easily dealt with,
temporarily, at least - but it is infuriating...
Many thanks,

Word Text Borders Won't go Away
I created text borders by pressing the shift+8 key continuously until a
dotted line was created the entire width of the page. These lines were used
to separate line items in text. I went to "Format"+ "Borders & Shading" and
attempted to remove all borders from my document. All borders were then
removeable except for a few. They seem to stick to the bottom of a page or
the top. I have not entered any data into footnotes or headers. Any
suggestions on how to rid my document of these stubborn borders?
Thanks!

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.

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,

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?

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.

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.

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.

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? Tag: configureit keyboard Tag: 103699
