    - Was it a field? Today I came across a document (letter) that said, "Dear Gregory," and the first four letters of "Gregory" were gray and the other three were not. Nowhere else in the letter did this or any other field code appear. No amount of clicking has so far led me to identify what it could have been. I would ask the author, but I don't want him to know how much more advanced he is than I! Can you help me disguise my lack of knowledge about it? Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52245

    - Need help moving diagram between documents If anyone can help me, I would be most grateful. I created a diagram (using Word 2000) which consists of several rectangular Autoshapes plus text, lined up using tabs, with headings and arrows leading from text to Autoshapes. Now I want to use the diagram in other documents, but when I copy and paste, elements jump into new positions. I tried grouping, creating an autotext entry out of the diagram, and various paste options, nothing seemed to work. How can I preserve the diagram and use it in other documents, as created? Thanks for any advice from a desperate new user. Ann Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52211

    - Single-space to Double Space I started a long manuscript document with single-space line spacing. New paragraphs were double-spaced by hitting return twice. Now I need the document double-spaced but I don't want the each new paragraph quadruple-spaced. Also there are chapters within the document requiring special formatting. They need to begin with the first paragraph of each chapter about 1/3 down the page with a chapter heading. Also the first paragraph of the new chapter should not be indented. I've been fooling around with all the formatting menus, paragraph, auto- correct. I can't seem to get what I need. Help, please. Thanks Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52208

    - Quotations--Straight and Curly I'm using Word 2002 from the Office XP package. I'm working on a long manuscript of a novel. I guess I started out with the Autocorrect quotation marks straight-to-curly unchecked. Then at some point I must have checked the auto-correct feature. Now the document has some straight--some curly quotation marks seemingly at random. I've followed the instructions to change all straight quotes to curlies to no avail. I chose Replace in the Edit menu with ' or " on both lines in the dialogue box and clicked on replace all with straight to curly checked in auto-correct. It doesn't find any of the straight quotes and doesn't correct them. I've tried this operation with the whole document selected and not selected. No dice either way. I'm working on a publisher's deadline. I'm about to buy a typewriter and do this thing old school--cut 'n paste. Somebody please help. Thanks. Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52207

    - Problems with Winword and a *.dll file All of a sudden, while saving a document with many Spanish language words that I entered using their <Alt>-xxx ASCII equivalent characters, I continuously get a page fault by Winword on some file named MS09.dll. I did a search on MS09.dll (including the MS knowledge base page) and could not find anything related to MS Word and the dll. Only docs I found dealt with Outlook Express causing a similar page fault on MS09.dll, with the proposed solutions dealing with OE-specific files. Other results led to Excel and Win2000 causing the same problem. I'm using Win98SE w/MS Office Professional 2000 and have used this system for several years without this problem occurring before.

    - multiple page template + mirror pages [sorry for the crosspost but I'm not sure if I'm asking newbie stuff here] Hello, Could someone please tell me if it is possible to create a multiple page template in word? The front page should contain a title and some pictures. The second page an introduction. The following pages the table of contents (automatically generated) And then the actual content (and I really don't know if this can be done) . All pages must be 3 columns the first column not very wide the second and third column wider for the text, on some pages the first column will contain pictures, on some nothing. The content pages must be mirrorred from each other (so the columns with the images don't show through te paper on the next page) Where do I start? Can multiple page templates be done in word? Do I work with master page layout, or not? The Word helpfile isn't very helpfull... All tips on how I should start with this are greatly appreciated!

But when I open the same document at my friends computer, the format becomes bad.

    - Inadequate Support I purchased upgrade from Word-97 to Word 2002 to overcome a known problem in former. I received this thru Dell two days ago. 2002 didn't solve the problem and has more of its own. Dell was totally unable to respond, and Microsoft offers no support. I am not paying either for support of a product purchased less than a week ago. I am posting this to record my frustration with the inability of Microsoft, Dell and AOL to respond to simple issues, including return authorization requests.

    - Linking WORD Files Hi: Environment: WORD2000, XP platform. I have the following scenario: Document 1 text lines 1 ----------- LINK -----> document 2 text lines 2 I used the INSERT|FILE|INSERT AS LINK to link to the text in Document 2. I was under the impression that if I used links to files I could change the text in Document 2 and have that change reflected in Document 1 when I re-opened Document 1. However, this does not occur and I have to delete and re-enter the link. The questions are: Am I using the wrong WORD function to accomplish this? If the wrong function, what do I use? Do I use a field function? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for the help. Jerry Bodoff Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52134

    - File Information Summary garbled, retaining bad info, how to clear info? Using WIN 2000 Pro; NTFS, with Office 2000 (updates up to date on both). = =20 I have found that the system is somehow retaining obsolete summary = information about obsolete (and indeed long deleted and vanished) files = that had Summary pages. For instance, I have a document called = ''d:\documents\home\Sophia\dog at large.doc''. In the ''Title'' = Section, under Properties>Summary (tab)>Advanced (button), I find that = the title shows as ''Springfield/Greene County dog catcher''. However, = I also notice there are two other listings to choose from. Both are = from long dead and gone files. Taking the first one as an example, it = is ''Small Shell'' (an old desktop shortcut to a 16 bit, DOS 5.0 = application, long deleted). Now, the ''Springfield/Greene County'' = entry should have been under the ''subject'' field instead of the title, = so I decided to delete it from there and put it where it ought to be. = However, I find I can add stuff to the list of choices here, but I = CANNOT delete stuff. I cannot for instance, make that ''Small Shell'' = entry go away. Furthermore, anything I add shows up under the = Properties of ALL subsequent documents that I check on. For an example. I decided to download, fresh from Microsoft, a document = from the knowledge base called ''msgina.doc'' (just picked it at = random). Then in the ''Subject'' line to the previously mentioned ''dog = at large.doc'' file I added ''whatever'' as the subject. Then I go to = the msgina.doc, which is brand new, never been opened before, and I find = on the ''subject'' line and option to choose from that says = ''whatever''. I cannot get this to clear. (And as an aside I might = mention that there appears to be some garbaged, garbled data being = retained.) Now, obviously, the data on the file information summaries is being kept = somewhere besides in the files themselves. But, I can't find it; a = registry search for anything that would turn up ''small shell'' for = instance comes up blank. A text search for any file containing the = words ''small shell'' comes up blank. =20 Quaere then: where is this data being maintained? How do I find it and = clear it, or delete it?

    - Windows and styles I have been converting from word 97 to word 2002 for windows xp I have two problems that I'd like to fix if possible. First Is there any way that I can get word to open multiple document windows in the same parent window instead of two completely separate instances? I often have two documents side by side in word. I "alt-tab" to another program. When I want to "alt-tab" back to word, I have to do it twice. I know that I can just click on the icons on the task bar, but I find the keyboard much faster. Second I use paragraph styles. In word 97, I could change paragraph styles by pressing 'alt-o-s', the first letter of the style that I want (say N for normal) and enter. When I do this in word 2002, a style window opens up and stays open after I select the style that I want. I then must close that window. I can see that this would be handy if I wanted to browse the document and change styles at will. But to change one paragraph, its a drag. Is there a keyboard shortcut for selecting a style without the window? -- Rick English Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52121

    - Shortcut Keys I previously posted a question re: shortcut keys in Word 2002. I stated that the combination of Ctrl+Home should take me to the "Start of Document". However, this combination instead calls up the "Find and Replace" box. I have checked in "Customize Keyboard"..Categories" .. All Commands" ..Commands, "Startofdocument" ... and verified that the combination of Ctrl+Home is assigned, as it should be, to "Start of Document", yet the program doesn't work that way. Since the proper combination of keys is assigned as indicated, what else could be causing me to get the "Find and Replace" box? I can't reassign the keys, as suggested in one reply, as they are already correctly assigned. Any other suggestions as to how to make this shortcut key combination work properly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Irene L. Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52120

    - Links I want to link two parts of the same business letter so that what I type into the one part appears in the other. If possible I'd like to make a template that will create a document with this property. For example, in the following message, I only want to type "ABC Company" once (in the opening address). Mr. John Smith "ABC Company, Inc." 123 Elm St. Mayberry, NY Dear Mr. Smith, I am selling a widget that is perfectly suited for use by "ABC Company, Inc." I think it will boost the sales of "ABC Company, Inc." dramatically. [more text] So, in conclusion, if you think "ABC Company, Inc." can use this widget, please contact me. In the template, I've tried selecting the text "ABC Company" and bookmarking it, then using "Paste Special" to put a link somewhere else in the text. But when I create a document from that template, the links get all mixed up and don't work. It keeps asking me if I want to save the changes I made to the template.

    - Dyamic Text Based On Section Titles Hi Everyone, This is a little hard for me to explain, but I'll give it a go. I'm trying to create a document that at the top (in the header) you have a bunch of information: ex. Name of Company {Section Title} ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Contents Prev. { PAGE} Next Where {Section Title} is, I would like text to be inserted there based on what section the person is in. The document I'm editing is very long (about 400 pages), and this will eventually be converted into PDF. So I don't want to have to write out the section titles for a large amount of sections. Is there a way of doing this? If so how? I've tried my hand at using Fields and thier codes, but nothing works. Eventually, when creating the PDF, I would like all the links and such to be created from the Word file so I don't hve to edit the PDF to do all these links. Any help and examples would be appreciated. Thank you. Thomas Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52107

    - Re: Code to return exactly the same file size as Properties dialog Is it possible that my macro is more accurate than the Properties dialog and Explorer? In every instance I've tested, the Propertes dialog in rounding off the size of the file in MBs to the form #.## MB doesn't properly round the number but simply leaves the hundredths column as it is, regardless of the value in the thousandths column. So for example a raw MB size of 1.228027 is correctly resolved by my macro as 1.23MB, while the Properties dialog shows it as 1.22 Yet a raw MB of 1.49414 MB is shown correctly as 1.49, both by my macro and the Properties dialog. Of course, it's possible that my raw MB number, derived by dividing the bytes by 1048576, is incorrect, and that Windows is using a different raw MB number. Yet the consistency of my results would suggest otherwise. This may seem like a trivial issue, but it's interesting getting at the bottom of it. Larry Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52097

    - derive kilobytes from bytes Is there a formula to convert bytes to kilobytes, which would work with any number of bytes? I want this for a macro in which I save a backup copy of a template, and at the end of the macro I display a msgbox with some information including the size of the newly saved template. I want this to be in the same format that you see in the File Properties dialog, with both the bytes and the kilobytes. The problem is that this involves more than simply dividing the number of bytes by 1.024 to get the number of kilobytes. That computation works with smaller files, but not with larger files.

    - Styles Hello! I don't know if you will be able to help me or not but thought that it was worth a crack. I am working for a health and safety company and have been charged with the mammoth task of tidying up all of the templates that they use, and making them into generic formats. I am not very computer oreintated and am finding this really hard. Wonder if you could awnser some questions for me?!?! When there is a table in a template and you are using the bullet points and numbers, how do I get the letters to not have a full stop after them? e.g a b c not a. b. c.?? When I started a new template this morning I suddenly found that I cannot access any of the styles that I have been using, I am clicking on the style button on the top of my toolbar but it only produces old ones that are not relevant and I haven't used. Any ideas? Well even if you don't get this it has been quite a cathartic experience! Regards, Lucy Gush Tag: Red cross in place of pictures! Tag: 52043
