    - My Word 2002 spelling checker does not correct mistakes. In some cases my spell checker does not correct mistakes. I've used all the hints in the Microsoft Word Help and it still skips errors. This is true both with automatic spell checking as I type and also when I use the F7 key. If I create a new document, spell checking works fine. The problem occurs in documents made with some templates other than Normal.dot. Any ideas? Tag: How do I convert *.wps files to Word format ? Tag: 68141

    - Table as Macro/Template or what? I've been a casual user of Word XP for about two years. I hate every one of its "unprecedented number and variety of features," as touted by Microsoft. I wish there was a "dumb-down" button you could press that would reduce the program to a truly user-friendly word processor for somebody who has no "power-user" ambitions whatsoever. My current challenge is to save a table I have created in such a way that with the press of a key I can insert that table in a document in such a way that I can then enter values in one of the columns of the table to regularly record the severity of symptoms of a disease I am trying to track. I have attempted to read the "help" documents on tables, macros and templates. I am totally confused. Right now I have the table saved as a simple Word document (.doc). When I open that file then select the table and paste it into another document the table comes up all over the page. Then I have to go into the table menu and fiddle with the settings to finally get it to display properly so I can enter the values--then continue to type regular text below the table. I'm on a pretty tight time structure with a terminal disease. I really prefer to not spend my limited days struggling to learn the "unprecedented features" of Word. Help!!!

Whenever I needed to delete a word, I used to double click on the word and delete it using the keyboard delete button. However, in Word 2003, after I hit Delete, I am prompted (at the bottom left of the screen) "Delete Block? No (Yes)" and if I press Y then only the word will be deleted.

    - Custom numbering with chapter number In Word 2002, I have equations (made with Word's equation editor) that I need to number. The number must be on the far right side of the line with the equation, must be surrounded by parentheses and must have the form x.y, where x is the chapter number in which the equation appears and y is the number of the equation, which restarts at 1 in each chapter. For example, a = b + c (3.2) Is there a way to make numbers like this that update automatically as more equations are inserted? It seems like fields such as SEQ or LISTNUM would work, but I don't see how to get the chapter number or correct format with them. Thanks. Greg Tag: How do I convert *.wps files to Word format ?

Is there any one who has ever had a simular problem and , what did you do to restore the defaults.

    - Identifying full-width/zenkaku (Japanese) characters within a document... Hi all, I work in the translation business (Japanese -> English) and have bee tasked with creating a Word (Office XP) macro to identify stra double-byte(zenkaku) characters that have been missed during th translation process. We use Trados 6.5 in conjunction with Word and invariably we find a fe double-byte characters or words mixed in with the rest of th single-byte text that we need to find and change. My group leader created a macro that simply examines each word, one b one (!) to determine if it contains double-byte characters or not, an if it does, it flags it with '@' and changes the font color to red s we can go through later and manually correct the text. The following is a code snippit that contains the loop the macro use to go through the text character by character: Code ------------------- WordCount = ActiveDocument.Content.Words.Count i = 1 While i < WordCount + 1 Application.StatusBar = i & "/" & WordCount & " ???[?h?ð?????µ?Ä?¢?Ü?·..." LenOrgWord = LenB(ActiveDocument.Content.Words(i)) LenCvtdWord = LenB(StrConv(ActiveDocument.Content.Words(i), vbFromUnicode)) If LenOrgWord = LenCvtdWord Then With ActiveDocument.Words(i) .InsertBefore ("??") .Font.Color = wdColorRed End With i = i + 1 WordCount = WordCount + 1 End If i = i + 1 Wend ------------------- Needless to say this is extremely SLOW when you have a 300+ pag document to check! So I am wondering if perhaps there is a mor efficient way of going about this? I was tempted to simply search using Find and setting Format>Font t '?l?r ?¾?©' but I can't figure out how to specify that I'm only lookin for full-width(zenkaku), ?l?r ?¾?© characters and no half-width(hankaku), ?l?r ?¾?© characters (i.e. as long as we can fin all the zenkaku characters in the document, it doesn't matter i they're using a Japanese font). Is there, perhaps, a regex I can use with Find (e.g. ([A-Z]*), etc.)? Thanks in advance for your help.

If Word won't import the files correctly, as I have seen,
a good idea is to save the file in Works as Rich Text
Format (.rtf), which can be read beautifully by Word. (You
may have to change the "Files of Type" box in Word when
first opening the file.) Then save it as a Word Doc.
