    - How does Office Word 2007 work? I'm lost! HELP!!! I've been working on my college assignments on MS word 2007, which is completely new to me, as I have been used to using MS Office/Word 2000. Anyway I seem to have done something which has caused a blue filter/highlighter of some sort to appear every time I click on my work, which then makes adding or editing it pretty impossible! Can anyone throw some light on what I have done, and how to get rid of it, and what is the blue filter/highlighter for? Please Help!!!!

    - How to disable 2 page view? Hi all, I've just started using Word 2007. When in 'Print Layout' view (I like to see the margins when I'm writing) and I zoom a page after setting it to 'One page' view it will suddenly switch to show 2 pages, side by side. It refuses to show a single page at the zoom level I want. And I never want to see a side by side view of pages. Ever. I have a large widescreen monitor and I want the page to always appear in the middle of the screen. Always, regardless of zoom level. Word used to do this. How do I disable this annoying behaviour?

    - Printing a booklet as part of a book I have created a 240-page book in MS Office Word 2007. I want to print out one copy on my LexMark645 printer (as a gift). To do this, I need to divide my book into 10 or so "booklets", to be bound together. In other words, each booklet needs to have booklet pagination, both sides. The sheets are standard 8.5 x 11. Printed in landscape orientation, each sheet will have two of my pages facing one another, and two more on the reverse side. Standard stuff. All my pages, headers and all, look fine on Word, but LexMark has its own settings (including booklet settings) and I can't seem to figure out what combination will work; I think one is fighting the other. Do I create half-width "free standing" pages in Word, or use the two-pages-per-sheet setting, or bookfold, or mirror, or WHAT? I think I can figure out "why this setting is necessary" if I START OUT with the right settings given to me very precisely. But I have trouble starting from the other end, with a lot of context and general explanation, as one usually finds in manuals. It doesn't seem that for something this basic, I would need special macros or templates. I also need to know how to select and limit the book segments that I want to booklet-ize. Can I do it by highlighting?--inserting section breaks interferes with my Header commands. Thanks, Esardi Tag: I have lost the menu and toolbar on the top of the screen Tag: 110301

    - Format Confusion Hi, I have a document in Word 2003 that had data pasted in from several sources, but I cannot figure out why the indent markers on the ruler do not match the text. When I apply a style to the problem paragraph, it does not conform to the indents of the style - I tried Normal and several others and the text always ends up .5" further from the margin than is defined in the style. I have a screenshot of the issue here: http://home.comcast.net/~reitanospa/junk/formatproblem.jpg Here's a rundown of the screenshot: The insertion point is to the left of "To configure" The paragraph is styled as Normal (as is the paragraph above it) All non-printing characters are displayed The indent for Normal is set at .25" The text starts at .75" and wraps to that same point The indent markers on the ruler are at .25" as is the setting in the Paragraph dialog Any ideas? I have approximately 60 pages to clean up and would rather not copy and paste one paragraph at a time into "good" paragraphs. Thanks.

    - 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: I have lost the menu and toolbar on the top of the screen 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.

    - 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: I have lost the menu and toolbar on the top of the screen Tag: 110141
