Pasword-secure folder in Word 2002

Can't delete text
I've been experiencing some odd editing behavior in Word XP. If I move the
cursor , say, to the end of a sentence and press backspace serveral times,
it will delete the period at the end of the sentence but nothing more (the
cursor just sits there even though I'm hitting the backspace key).
However, this only happens with certain sentences in the document. With
others it works as it should -deleting the period and characters as
expected.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with this?
Thanks for the help. -Pat Tag: doc help Tag: 49490
Template Problem with Adobe Acrobat
I just installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on my system (WinXP Home + Office 2000).
Now when I fire up Word or Excel, Adobe adds a toolbar to my normal.dot and
book.xlt files. I was able to get permanently rid of it in the excel
template.
I tried deselecting the toolbar in Word, and saving the resulting template
as normal.dot. But like Dracula, the Adobe toolbar keeps coming out of the
coffin. How can i drive the wooden stake through its heart.

Trying to update resum
Help pleez! I made a resume a long time ago, so now I want to update it.
Of course, there is one more job I have to put on it. I have the headings
like Objective, Experience, etc. All I want to do is to put another section
in the beginning of the Experience block, but it doesn't want me to do that!
For instance, when I try to tab to put in my job title, it sends me to the
end of the Experience section.
If I use the wizard, it tries to make a whole new resume; and anyway I don't
like the styles it has now.

How can I do it?
I am trying to print up a message on Word which is written
on five regular sheets printed on both sides. The booklet
is printed landscape so it eventually will have 18 to 20
pages. Each full size sheet will actually contain 4
pages, two on the front and two on the back.
I did this frequently on Page Maker 5 and printed Odd
numbers on the first run and then turned the sheets around
and printed even numbers. This was easy to lay out since
pagemaker would let me set up entire pages at one time,
but I cannot see how to do the same thing on MSWord. Can
anyone help me on this, please? None of my grand kids are
close enough to help me out. Gramp Jim Tag: doc help Tag: 49467
odd behavior of first page/odd page/even page footers
I noticed something that I don't understand nor do I like the results. I
set up my document for odd/even footers and different first page
header/footers along with start with odd pages. I've set my margins for
0.9" on the left and 0.5" on the right and 0.5" for the top and bottom with
0.5" for header and footer gap along mirrored margins. When I printed the
first 20 pages I noticed that I had a different gap at the bottom of the odd
and even pages. The odd pages have about 1.0" of gap while the even pages
have a 0.5" gap. This problem doesn't show up with the headers for odd/even
pages. Any ideas as how to make them the same?

Master Doc Question
I'm new to using Master Documents and have a question
about numbered lists in subdocuments.
I have created a master document that contains 5
subdocuments. The numbering starts at 1 in the first
subdocument and continues through 225 in my last
subdocument. Obviously, I don't want this so I went into
my master doc and did Format - Bullets and Numbering -
Restart Numbering. I did it for each paragraph that I
wanted to restart at 1. It looked great and I did a save.
The problem is that every time I open the master document
it reverts back to numbers 1 through 225. Does anyone
know how I can change this and force the master document
to keep the changes?

How can I show certain text+pictures, but not print them ?
Hello all.
I have gotten the small task of trying to figure out how I can, as simply as
possible (obviously), create a document where certain parts of the document
will display, but not print.
The request was for the ability to view certain layout features
(text+pictures) from within the application, but not print it, since the
paper it will eventually be printed on is pre-printed with this information.
I've looked at field-codes (hoping there'd be a "don't print the contents of
this field" sort of switch), and quite a number of other places, without
much luck.
Does anyone have an idea, apart from the Format->Background option, as to
how I'd go about doing something like that ?

Susan now HOW do I remove add-in
Susan, thank you for the reasons why the add-in to word

supposed to be there for, and with all the problems it can
and has caused that you listed, I WANT to remove it.
I just want to do it safely. I can't be without the

Can you please tell me how to safely remove the MS add-in

YOU ever removed it?
I'm really glad you're out there to help. You've been a
great help to me so far. I'll wait till you answer before
I do anything...and if there's some MS paper i should read
before removing the add in, or any contradictions in how
MS says to do it and you say to do it, perhaps you can
point me to those instructions. but i prefer you writing
and telling me, you seem to know how to say things clearly
and simply so that even I can understand them. so very

short lines in quoted email message text
I'm a brand new Word-user, with Word 2000 (Office 2000),
Windows 98 SE.
First, let me apologize in advance for the length of this; I
don't know how to make it any shorter, in order to ask my
question(s).
I'm trying to set up templates (with some success) to conrol
various sorts of formatting. I followed Shauna Kelly's
instructions for dealing with customizing Outline Numbering
(thanks, Shauna!) and used help from Suzanne Barnhill to learn
more about fine-tuning my styles. But I still have tons I need
to learn.
I have a rule for myself: no direct formatting. I removed the
direct-formatting toolbar, so as not to be tempted to mess up
my documents.
Right now, I'm working wtih email messages, because I'll be
simulating them, and/or quoting from some, in my long
documents, later.
For now, I'm bringing actual email messages (my own, or ones I
have permission to reproduce) into Word (2000) as text files,
by using Copy and Paste, after selecting New Blank Document,
with my email-formatting template. I'm copy/pasting them from
my text editor, to get the text into the New Blank Document
(using a specific .dot file, but also, copying the format
styles into normal.dot, once I'm happy with the formatting).
This is specifically about short lines in a quoted signature.
I need sometimes to set these up as a single-quoted passage
(paragraph format?); sometimes as a double-quoted passage (!),
and - I hope not often! - perhaps as a triple-quoted passage.
I'll bet there are ways to do this fairly simply, but I'm so
new to Word that my mind isn't wrapping around this.
For now, to imitate (give the appearance of) single-quoted
text, I used a border on the left side that continues through
the quoted paragraph. That imitates the excerpt bars popular
in Eudora. It might not be the best way to do things; should I
use ">" instead? And if I do, how would I set that up in Word?
I'd want to insert a ">" at the beginning of each line in the
paragraph.
For double-quoted paragraphs, I succeeded (it appears) in
changing the left-side border to a double line from a single
line.
Then suddenly, I ran into this problem:
Somebody quoted a signature from a previous message. The
signature lines are short, not extending to the right margin
of the page.
Thus (inventing):
Carol Whitney
Second signature line
Third signature line
Even though I don't usually
Use more than one line as
A signature
A signature.
Now, suppose that's set as a single-quote, which, in the
original email message, would look like this:
> Carol Whitney
> Second signature line
> Third signature line
> Even though I don't usually
> Use more than one line as
> a signature
Oops - now that looks as though I'm quoting somebody else, but
it's me <g>.
In the original text in the email I'm formatting, those lines
(in the simulated signature) would each end with a paragraph
mark - in other words, a Hard Return, or a Line-Feed with
Carriage Return, Hex 0D0A, if I remember right, or did I get
that backwards?
When a signature occurs in the original, I'm simply formatting
it with Left-alighned text, hanging indents for each line (and
each line of the signature is a separate paragraph). I'm
adding space-before the first line of a signature, space-after
after the last line of a signature, and no space-before nor
space-after for all intervening lines. (Incidentally, I'm
using these same formats for message headers, and for any
added footer on email messages, which are sometimes added by
email lists.)
But for Body Text, and its relatives, I'm using Space-After, 6
points. For the simulated short-line quotes, though, I don't
want any space-before nor space-after, until the last line of
the grouped short-lines.
Does anybody have any suggestions about how I could format
quoted email text, showing some kind of "quote marks" (for
single, double, or even triple-quoted text - I'm definitely
not wedded to the left-side border! - don't even really care
for it that much), and deal with short lines?
Is there such a thing as a "NewLine" (I think that's line-feed
only? without the hard Return (carriage return?) Or am I even
more confused about that?)
In other words, how can I get this effect:
Several short lines that follow each other (and should be kept
together through the last line), without added space in the
style format, with some kind of quote marks - single, double
or triple?
Sorry I'm really rotten at asking questions, until I already
know the answer(s), at which point I'm able to ask the
questions <g>.

reboot or how much i search for it, i do not have any Word

Sue Barnhill? Re Enable/Disable Macros at launch?
Thank you both, Suzanne and Graham.
I HAVE found the template PALMAPP.DOT in my C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup folder. But
before I delete it, I think I'd like to try making it from
a trusted source, if I can.
I've also found 3 macros -- PalmAppAddress.MAIN ,
PalmAppMemo.MAIN , and PalmAppToDo.MAIN -- in my list of
Word macros.
I've looked at the Word Help under "Modify the list of
trusted sources for macros", but don't know where/how to
find the Security Warning box it mentions (at item #3),
and -- so -- don't know how to select "Always trust macros
from this source".
[Hey, I admitted I was out of my depth here!]
Thanks for your time and trouble on this, guys.
Peter

Fractions
In my Word 97, when I type a fraction (1/10, 1/12, etc), if it is an
oft used fraction such as 1/2 or 1/4, it is reduced and all included
on a single line as numerator over denominator. So far, all my
searching thru menus has not turned up a way to change how fractions
appear. Many times I prefer a consistancy in appearance, and
occasionally it's no big deal. Any ideas anyone would like to offer
about how to select the appearance of fractions will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks, K. Tag: doc help Tag: 49300
Susan flawed updates and thanks
Susan, yes, there's no reason why the cd should be
necessary for the removal of Works, but the ms article
said it was. I just don't understand (and I really try)
why these contradictory or confusing instructions seem to
be the norm and not exception.
But I was wondering, what kind of problems are in the add
in for Word that made you tell me to remove it? which I
certainly will do.

As for your comments in defense of critical updates which
cause "inconveniences" because the worms or viruses out
there could trash our computers, I just had to respond to
that. My feeling is that if Microsoft wasn't so anxious
to get new products onto the market as fast as possible
before they are thoroughly tested, then the critical
updates wouldn't be necessary in the first place. I'm
certainly not the first person to say that on these
boards. I think MS is testing its products on the backs
of the end users.just ordinary people like me,(and
wasting our time, energy, not to mention the money we
spend trying to get the products to work) that I hardly
think inconvenience is the word. I have thought about it,
and somehow that doesn't seem right to me...but that's
just my feeling about it.
I've read so many posts on the numerous newsgroups here,
especially the Windows Update newsgroup, from people in a
panic, a fury, or simply stumped, and it is so depressing
to read these posts, but perhaps the best way to learn...
(for instance service pack 4 causing all sorts of
problems....no printers, etc.) that I'm always happy to
have someone make me laugh about it all, and some
newsgroup poster did, when he wrote "Microsoft is aware of
the problem in service pack 4 and maybe a fix will be
upcoming. Then again, so is Christmas."
Having said all that, Susan, I'm so glad there are people
like you out there who can help people like me. It doesn't
make the frustration go away, but when you write as you
do, clearly and straightforwardly, and especially (as was
the case for the cut and paste question I asked) when you
come up with a solution, it at least takes a little bit of
the edge off the frustration. Thank you again for your
help. I really appreciate it. Tag: doc help Tag: 49299
Susan thank you,but questions
for Susan Barnhill (and anyone else with some answers)
first, Susan, thank you for responding to my post....but i
have two questions raised by what you wrote....
you said to unistall the works add-in for Word because it
causes problems in word....and you said, if i read your
answer to my question correctly, just to click unistall
works from the add remove on the control panel and if the
unistall requires the cd, then it will prompt me to use
it...
what i DON'T understand is....why would MS issue a
critical download (the add-in) that causes problems and
apparently doesn't come up with another fix to fix the
problem the solution was supposed to address?
and why does the microsoft bulletin on UNISTALLING WORKS
tell me something something apparently DIFFERENT from what
you've said? I would really like to understand what is
going on there at microsoft that it issues such "clear"
instructions for removing Works, involving using the cd,
yet it might be possible to unistall it if the unistall
doesn't prompt me to use the cd?
thank you for your answer to my question. it was simple
and straight-forward, which i really appreciated. thank
you, and hope you have a moment to answer the two
questions i asked here.... Tag: doc help Tag: 49273

Word 2000 automatically increases.....
Hello all
I am using Word 2000 and saving documents in the
format "Word 97-2000 &6.0/95 -rtf(*.doc). The intention to
save like this when the end user do not have word, it
opens in notepad. But the cause is the word 2000 document
while saving in the format results in increase in the
document size, that is from 4 mb to 61 mb. I could not get
the solution.
Please provide the solution at the earliest.
Thanks in advance!

Find and Replace
How do I--using Find and Replace--place quotation marks
around a selected word or group of words? When I select a
group of words my attempts have produced either EACH word
in quotes or TWO words in quotes, not the whole phrase.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple. Thanks for
always being there! Tag: doc help Tag: 49262
