    - After selecting a portion of text, I cannot delete it Hi, I have a problem with deleting text in MS Word: basically, if I select a phrase or portion of text (by highlighting it with my mouse) I am no longer able to delete it by pressing the Del button. It only works if I use right-click + Cut. It's quite annoying especially that I'm used to Del. While the Del function worked in the past, I don't know what I did about it now and I can't fix it.

    - Is there a way to save just one Word doc to print manually and leave default print at auto select? Hi All, I'm using Office 2007 at work and home but mostly at work I may have 2 or 3 specific documents that I save as a shell so to speak, and would save it with a specific title after setting the print to 'manual'. But after I do that, it seems that ALL my Word docs will print manual unless I change back the print choice to 'auto select'. Is there some way to just save these few documents as 'print manually' and leave the default print option at 'auto select' so i don't have always remember to go back to change 'manual' to 'auto' after I'm done with the document that I want to print 'manually'? The manual print jobs require our company stationary but the majority of my Word docs just require plain paper so I'd use auto select from the paper tray. I hope this makes sense. Word does so many magnificent things, I just think there MUST be a way to save the print option just for those few manual print docs without having to change back the setting for everything else. Thanks for any ideas anyone...........katy Tag: forms Tag: 110161

    - Selecting specific columns Hi everyone, I have tried and tried and just can't seem to work this out. Being almost morning probably isn't helping much either. =) Basically, I'm doing a course where we have to learn to the basics of a number of different Office progs. We're doing word at the moment. Simple stuff, based on the 2003 version, but easily adaptable nonetheless. However, I've come across a problem I can't seem to get around no matter what I try. Here it is: After learning and then inserting about 3 or so tab points then entering in some text to demonstrate how they look, we've been asked to select the middle section of text, the refer to it as a column but it's not a table that we've done here, it's just using tab stops. Anyway, the book says to use the Alt button and the left mouse button to select just that middle 'column'. I can not, for the love of all that is holy, select using the Alt key or, when I choose to use the Ctrl and left-mouse button's all is good until I hit save then the third line, out of four, moves back to the original tab stop whereas everything else stays where it is supposed to. I hope I've explained myself fairly well, like I said, it's almost and I almost can't keep my eyes open any longer. Thanks everyone, Nic Tag: forms Tag: 110142

    - Converting Resume Wizard 2007 to 2003 Format - Everything went Wacky!!!! Hi I'm touching up my resume but am running in to the problem of most business' can't accept .docx. My resume is done in .docx using the resume wizard and one of the templates. I am trying in vain to convert and save into 97-2003 mode, but it just messes the whole thing up completely. Of course the format for the resume wizard doesn't wanna allow you to do anything to change the format of it once you change it. It makes the line spacing different, and in the new office I don't even know where the thing to change line spacing is :( Any tips of suggestions would be a huge help and I thank in advance. -- -=NINJA=- Tag: forms Tag: 110141

    - MS Word 2007 - Double Spacing Lines by default - how to turn off ? Figured it out. Don't go to 'page layout', go to 'Home' which is the large button on the LHS. Middle of the screen there is a button with a doubleheaded arrow to the left of some bars. Hit that. Go to line spacing options. Up to now I have been punching radio buttons, but you don't have to do that. Set the two 'before' and 'after' spacing box to zero. I have even managed to get new .docs to give single spacing. If I was going to write stupid front ends to software, I would make sure that there is always a command line interface for that software, so that when all else failed, you can just give it the command from the command line, without having to surf through lots of badly named and badly grouped menus. set linespace currentdoc nil set linespace normaltemplate nil This way, however hard you try to screw up the front end, someone can always get some work done in spite of you. -- > >Hi > >I am struggling with this new POS MS Word 2007 (at least I think it is >2007 - there is no Help/About menu by which I can tell). > >For some reason you get a double-spaced document when you start MS >Word and eventually I found a place were you can get at the spacing >(I'd tell you where it is but I cannot find it again). > > >If you click/unclick a lot of checkboxes several times and alter the >line spacing then you can turn off this double spacing thing. > >I tried getting Word 2007 to stay un-double-spaced but it does not >seem to work. > >Does anyone know how I can fix this ?

    - Table data rows at bottom of page acquire attributes of repeated header row on next page An odd thing just happened in a document based on a template that I have been using for years. The template is for a case summary document that is essentially 7-8 pages of tables each separated by a few lines of text. This afternoon, I used the template to create a new document. One of the tables, containing a header row and 2 data rows, happened to fall at the bottom of page 1 so that the page break occurs between the first and second data row. The header and row 1 are at the bottom of page 1. At the top of page 2, the header is repeated followed by row 2. The odd behavior is that the cursor will not display in the parts of the table at the bottom of page 1 (header row and row 1). If I click anywhere in the header row or the first data row, the rulers indicate that the cursor is there, but it is not visible. If I position the cursor just above the table and use the down arrow key to navigate into the table, the cursor disappears, but if I type, text appears in the cells. If I hold the shift key and use the arrow keys, no text is highlighted, but if I press the Delete key, text is deleted. So the cursor is in the table, just not visible. I did a little experimenting. I was able to make the behavior come and go depending on where the table is in the document. The cursor is invisible in these situations: 1. I added a page break at the top of page 1 so that the table now spans page 2 & 3. Problem remains. 2. I deleted all of the text before the table. It works normally. I then added blank lines until it crossed the page 1-2 break. Problem returns. 3. I added more blank lines until the table is wholly on page 2. Problem disappears. I added more blank lines until it spans pages 2 & 3. Problem returns. The cursor acts normally (is visible) in these situations: 1. In Draft view or Outline view. It only occurs in Print Layout view. 2. If I add enough blank lines just above the table so that the entire table moves to page 2 or if I delete enough text above the table so that the entire table is on page 1. It only occurs if the table spans 2 pages. 3. There are several other tables in this document that span pages. None of them exhibit the behavior. I copied one of these tables to the same position at the bottom of page 1. It did not exhibit the behavior. 4. I copied the table to the bottom of page 2 so that it spanned pages 2 & 3. It worked correctly. This suggests to me that it may be related to the display attributes of the repeated header row. It looks like the rows just above the repeated header row have acquired some of the *display* attributes of the header row on next page. Puzzled... Any suggestions? Tag: forms Tag: 110127

    - MS Word 2007 - Double Spacing Lines by default - how to turn off ? Hi I am struggling with this new POS MS Word 2007 (at least I think it is 2007 - there is no Help/About menu by which I can tell). For some reason you get a double-spaced document when you start MS Word and eventually I found a place were you can get at the spacing (I'd tell you where it is but I cannot find it again). If you click/unclick a lot of checkboxes several times and alter the line spacing then you can turn off this double spacing thing. I tried getting Word 2007 to stay un-double-spaced but it does not seem to work. Does anyone know how I can fix this ? I don't have a copy of the previous Word to get on with any work and I am having to draft in TextPad and paste into a saved document in MS Word then fool with the formating in there to create a new document.
