 - Find and Replace dialog box covers the found item Hi, In Word 2003 and 2007, when I do Find and Replace (Ctrl+H), and also when I do Find (Ctrl+F), and I do repeat finds (pressing Enter while the dialog box is open) the dialog box covers up the items found. Is there a way to get the box to stay out of the way? I can't seem to find the answer on the newsgroups. Thanks, Bob (Former XEDIT user. Where are ALL, LESS, and MORE when I need them?)

 - Exhibit Numbering I have a document with several exhibits [i.e., Exhibit A, Exhibit B, etc.]. These exhibits are referred to in some paragraphs in the document and are attached to the back of the document. What's the best way to make sure that if Exhibits are added or taken out of the document, the Exhibit numbers will fall into place alphabetically when referred to in paragraphs as well as back matter to the document. I know there's a simple answer to this, but I'm just not thinking straight today. Thanks in advance for this and all of your past help!

 - How to permanently activate Macros? When I open certain Excel or Word documents then I am always asked if I want to enable or disable embedded macros. How can I permanently active these macros (when I open the document later again)? However I do NOT want to change the document file itself. Other user who may have access to the documents as well should have the choice to disable them). I could imagine that MsOffice resp. Word/Excel maintains an internal list where "always activate macros for docs" are entered and remembered. If this is not possible: Is there a way to always allow macros for me (=when I open them) ?

 - How do I paste a webgraphic across 2 pages, instead of one? I copied a map legend from the web and pasted it onto my Word document, but it's too long for just one page. How can I make it go across two pages or more, instead of only one, while keep the info intact? I did already try "resizing" and formatting by rightclicking and all that, but it just makes the text within the box too small to read or too blurry. Also, please could you reply as if instructing a 2nd or 3rd grader as I'm new to using the computer and it's programs and a newbie to terms etc. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 - preventing distribution of a document Is it possible to protect a document in a way that it prevents distribution via email or print? I have the document with a "double-level" password protection, meaning the first password opens the document for read only, then to open it for editing requires a second password; but this would not prevent it from being emailed once opened, saved to a different location or printed and distributed.

 - Pulldown Menus Problem I'm using Office 2003 on WinXP Pro SP2 + all Updates that I know of. This started about 4 weeks ago and the problem is that the checkbox for 'Show full menus all the time' keeps clearing itself when the program is closed (Word, Publisher and Outlook 2003). I thought it might have to do with CCleaner, even though I had 'de-clicked' Office completely. I have since done a reformat and clean install of all the usual programs, except CCleaner and I still have the problem. I do a clean format and reinstall about every 12-14 months, and have never seen this problem before. Anyone have an Idea why this checkbox won't stick??? Thanks in Advance!!!

 - Inserting a template into a word .doc I do medical transcribing and need to keep inserting different templates into the same document. When I first open the "new" blank document I set the font and font size, then want to insert a template so I can fill in the blanks, but the font and font size do not look the same even though when I click on the letter and look up top to see what size the font is it says Arial 11. If I open the template and start typing then I cannot re-open it again for another dictation. I read somewhere the simple route is best in Word. So, simply I need to send one whole document for the day with a bunch of different doctors that each have their own "template" of the way they want their reports typed and I don't want to have to re-type each set of headings, just insert a template or whatever, and fill in the blanks!

 - fix a field length? please help Hello, I have a table in a document with about 6 rows. It is more like a form, where there is a label and the user of this document can enter the value next to that particular label in each of the rows. Now, I need to fix the field length of one of the rows to 2000 characters. I thought that the best way to do this would be to insert a textbox in the 'value' column of that field. I used the Drawing Toolbar to insert a textbox. I have one main problem here. When I type in the text, it either goes out of the range or is displayed vertically. I have the following combinations in the Properties for each of those: 1. The text which I input into the textbox goes out of the range (which means, it goes outside of my table and outside of the word document.

 - Am I getting good tech advice about Word / Office being corrupted? In my small business office, I have a 2-node p2p network. We have a Dell workstation and a Dell notebook. Both were purchased last summer and are running Win XP Pro and Office 2007 Pro. I purchased a tech support contract with a local company. They provide remote support through a program they installed on our machines. They manage updates to Windows & Office, backup to USB drives, antivirus, and other services. They ordered both machines and did the initial installation of the OS and Office. The workstation is used by my assistant. She has not installed anything other than our business software (Quickbooks, TimeSlips, and Time Matters). I have the notebook. I have installed some other software, but no games or questionable (non-commercial) software. Prior to last summer, we had leased our computers from a different company who also provided tech support. We had two machines (both from HP) running Win 2K and Office 2000. We were running mostly the same applications. We had those machines for 5-6 years and almost no problems. Since upgrading to the new machines and switching tech support companies, we have had a lot of problems. I just got off the phone with one of the techs and I am concerned about what he rold me. I would appreciate any opinions anyone might have. The most recent problem started a few weeks ago. My assistant loaded one of our templates and tried to do a global replace (Ctrl-H), something we do many time a week. Word froze up solid. I had to kill it from the Task Manager. When I called tech support, they said that they had just installed a service release and it had a bug that caused Replace to break. They backed out the service release and everything was fine for awhile. This happened on both machines. The same problem resurfaced just in the workstation 2 days ago. My notebook was fine. The tech remoted in today and tried to fix it. After a couple of hours of work, he said that Office was corrupted. He said he went to Add/Remove programs and tried to do a repair, he got a message that the installation was corrupted. Does this sound plausible? I know I haven't provided enough information to know for sure, but does it sound plausible? I ask because we have had a lot of pesky problems ever since upgrading to these new machines. The machines run much more slowly than the older machines and we have had programs crashing including Word and Outlook. We have had problems where updates did not happen that should have. The video on my notebook screen is very flakey. I can get the screen all broken up in Word pretty much any time I want. Now he wants to reinstall Office, which I presume means that we will lose all of our settings. I guess I'll have to let him go ahead and do that, but if we continue to have problems, I have to believe that these guys don't know what they are doing. They have total control over the machines and they have installed most of the software. If it isn't working, can the fault be anywhere else? Thanks for any comments or suggestions. Frustrated...

which is a ballot box with a check. I have pressed alt and 2611 on the number
lock pad and do not get the right symbol. Does anyone know what the number
microsoft accepts for this symbol. I checked the symbol library and the
bullet point library and cannot find the symbol.

If a font contains the character, it will be in the Miscellaneous Dingbats
character set. Most fonts don't contain it. You can find it in Arial Unicode
MS, but a better approach might be instead to use character 254 in the
Wingdings font. You can pretty much depend on any system to have Wingdings
installed, while Arial Unicode MS is an optional install that won't be
present on every system.

Note that to insert higher Unicode characters such as this in Word, you
should type 2611 and then press Alt+X. Unfortunately, if you do this in
Times New Roman, you get a rather distorted check box character in MS
Mincho.
