    - Problem with WordXP text box (Repost) I've been using text boxes for years and have never had this problem before. Now, when I place a "text box" on a new page, a wide black band about 2" high appears across the bottom of the text box and I can't seem to get rid of it. Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word?

    - Copy/paste sans formatting The default in Word is to paste with the format of the copied text, rather than the format of where the text is being inserted. I hate that, especially when pasting into corporate templates where the layout has to be just so. I either have to use: Edit -> paste special -> unformatted text or paste the text, then apply the right formatting. But this is painful as Word starts to add its own ideas on styles to my styles menu based on the pasted text. To ease my pain, I have created a small macro that uses pasteUnformatted. However, now I get the "your document contains macros..." warning whenever I open Word documents. But what I would *really* like to do is turn off the "feature" in Word that makes pasteFormatted the default. Is this possible? As a related question, I use Powerpoint to create drawings, then past them into Word. By default, Word makes them an object, which I hate - I just want a picture. So I tell it to paste as picture. But now Word ignores my default for pasting pictures, which is "inline with paragraph". How can I tell Word not to paste objects, just pictures, *and* use my default for pasting - i.e. inline? -- Rob Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word? Tag: 72526

    - Word 2000 Hyperlink Field Codes Hi, I'm doing a case study for some course work. It involves integrating Word into a VB.Net app which I have achieved. There is one slight problem because the documents that the system is supposed to use uses hyperlinks to link the various word files together. I've basically got word to open up with a file that is selected by the user via the VB.Net program. When you click on the hyperlinks within the documents, Word opens the link in a new word window, and jumps out of the application. Researching this, I've found that in Word 2003, you can tell the document to open up the selected file within the 'parent' window my changing the Hyperlinks Field Codes. The Microsoft article suggested using: {Hyperlink "<file>" \t"_self[or _parent]"} Is this possible within Word 2000? If not, is there an alternative?

    - My inserted pictures keep moving ! I have word 2002 on XP. I can insert a picture (usually a jpeg file) okay, but when the picture gets close to the header it keeps jumping up over the top of the page. I can move the picture back down the page, but it has to be 2 or 3 cms below the header, and when I try to move it up towards the top of the page again (so that is sits neatly below the header) it will all of a sudden jump over the page with part of the picture on the page and part in the space between pages.

    - Add formatting to auto-correct? Word 2K3 Is there a way to put formatting into an auto-correct entry. Specifically, I want an elipsis to automatically include (I'm not sure what they're called) the special "spaces" that won't be separated. (They're created by <ctrl><shift><space>, and that way the three periods in the elipsis won't separate at the end of a line.) Right now, I have to do that manually, and I'd like to be able to his period, space, period, space, period. (Yes, I know I don't need spaces between the dots, but I don't like the way that looks.)

    - Delete-to-End-of File Command Many pre-Windows word processors and editors came with a very convenient command that let the user delete text from the current point of the cursor to the end of the file. M/S Word never put this feature in. What an oversight! Another nice thing M/W Windows denies users is the abililty to Find one or more words in a line. Some CP/M utilities did this. Are there such supplementary applications or programs for Windows users? Thanks. JLoui Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word? Tag: 72472

    - Lesson Learned re File Cleanup Utilities Lesson learned: A while back I posted a problem with my User Data not being saved. Specifically, I had to reenter my return address every time I used the envelope tool. I was advised that it was a registry corruption problem. Well, I finally solved the real problem. I was using one of the popular file/tracks cleanup utilites (CrapCleaner). One of the options was to cleanup tracks from MS Office 2003. After I deselected this option, I no longer had the problem of my return address disappearing! I post this in case somebody else has ever had this problem and didn't associate it with a file cleanup utility. Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word? Tag: 72455

    - cannot modify footer in word doc thx for the hints. the problem is not related to the size of the footer margin, there is sufficient space. i have played around a bit more and found that it is apparently related to the usage of sections (i assume that the correct english term for the german term "Abschnitt") and the feature "hdr/ftr different on first page". i can make the footer appear on the first page of the second section by tinkering with the configuration, but never the intended appearance (footer on all pages of 2nd section with first one different). this sounds a little like document corruption. the instructions for fixing corrupted docs look complicated to me (how do i specify "section break" in find?). i will try nevertheless. /thx for your help Walter Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word?

    - Merge Query I wonder if anyone can help? I am using Microsoft word and the Tools Merging options. I have merged a large number of documents and am editing each one now individually. For the address block I merged Company Name | Address 1 | Address 2 - however many of my database entries do not have an Address 1 entry, eg Company: Adrian Architect Address 1: 45 Rose Road Address 2: Auckland So I have many entries that have only appeared as perhaps: Company : Adrian Architect Address 1: Address 2: Auckland Consequently when I create the merge document the address appears as: Adrian Architect Auckland Useless!!! I don't want to go to the trouble to print these out as they are useless merged letters and yet I don't want to have to spend the time sifting through each entry and extracting all these entries manually. Is there a way these entries can be extracted (or at least just marked) so that I don't print them or can put them in a separate document/folder of their own?

    - Basic macros query - where are they assigned to? I'm sure that the answer to this must be staring me in the face, but I'm afraid I just can't find it. In the time I've been trying to get to grips with Word 2000, I've created several very basic macros, which I've assigned to particular combinations of keys. In many cases, I've forgotten exactly which keys produce which macros - how do I find out? If I go to Tools/Macro/Macros I get a list which looks like this: Macro 1 Macro 10 Macro 11 Macro 12 and so on. If I highlight any one of these and press Edit, I get a screen which lists the commands for all the macros (separated by horizontal rules) and I can - not unnaturally - edit them. But where in all this does it tell me which keys each macro has been assigned to? Thanks very much! Bert http://www.bertcoules.co.uk Tag: how to create or insert a cell in Word? Tag: 72348

how to create or insert a cell in Word?...Are cells the same as text boxes?...

Hi

cells are generally defined as the intersection of a column and a row and
therefore are "inserted" via the table menu (or the tables & borders toolbar
if you're feeling creative).

Hope this helps
