    - Circular text conversion to HTML? Is there any way to convert the circle of text seen at the URL below to HTML so that I can make a blog post in that same size and shape of circle? ORIGINAL POST ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the request may be for making the boundaries of an area of regular text be circular (like a circular text box). There have been several questions like that lately. You can do it by placing appropriate AutoShapes on both sides of the text and setting their text wrapping to Tight. I've posted a document at http://jay-freedman.info/triangle_text.doc that illustrates making both triangular and circular text areas. Tag: it keeps locking up, what is wrong? Tag: 112086

    - All hidden special tags are being seen with braces Hello, I recently installed a software called TRADOS and then ENDNOTE on my Office 2007. - Now I have come up with this strange problem. All hidden tags (like page number, reference numbers of Endnote etc.) can be seen. For example page numbers do not contain numbers and only a {page } is seen in their place. Endnote reference numbers (which should normally be seen like: [17] or like that) are now seen like below one: {ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Still</Author><RecNum>222</RecNum><record><rec-number>222</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="f2xt2vdanrrp28ezvfhpvat8fefdwet52dwa">222</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Web Page">12</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>G.

Could someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks, Mac Tag: it keeps locking up, what is wrong? Tag: 112052

    - Word 2007 Macro warnings Hi, I had a reverse issue from the known bug wherein Word warns you of non- existant macors. My user was NOT getting the document information bar warning under the ribbon. He was getting the pop instructionon how to change Trust Center settings, but nothing beyond that. I realized based on Beth Meltons' post that perhaps my user did not have the Visual Basic for Applications component installed. Sure enough, he didn't. Once that component was installed the security warning appeared in the information bar. I think this component did not get installed originally because there was a dependant component [ .Net2.0 ?] which also was not installed. SO, even though you select 'run all from my computer' on the top drop down during the office install, various sub-components *may* not install if dependent infrastructure is not already installed. Thanks again! -patrick Tag: it keeps locking up, what is wrong? Tag: 112020

This feature has been automatically disabled based on Terminal Server Settings, connection speed, or animation settings on this machine. How do I reconfigure this feature?

    - Word 2007 - Page numbering styles Hi, I am a new 2007 user. I used the page number style box, which offered some quite nice ones, like the page number in a scroll in the centre at the bottom. The only problem is that I cannot shift it up. I can change the footer margins easily, and that moves the point where the footer commences up, but it won't move the actual scroll. I am using A4 and half of the scroll is cut off. I would just like to be able to shift it up a bit. Many thanks in advance. -- Trish Tag: it keeps locking up, what is wrong? Tag: 111974

With a new laptop I signed up for the trial version of the new office, and I will not be purchasing the new product (it is overdesigned, and intrusive, and I am tired of learning new programs!). My old version of Office 2003 was on the hard drive removed from my last laptop, but while it was "seized" while I was on line and converted to Office 2007. How can I get back the old version of Office? Can Office 2003 (student and home) be purchased? Can I get Office 2003 re-installed online, or, at the very least uncontaminated?

    - Persistent error message word 2007 I havre a new Dell vostro that came with office pro 2007 preinstalled, running win XP. I have recently installed a new HP wireless printer. There was also a windows update which self installed at the same time. Since then I have had the same error message each time I close down word, (although not when I close down the files I am working with first - just each time I close the app itself). It tells me MS Office Word has discovered a problem and needs to close. My information may be lost - and it offers an optoin to recover. It also details an error report to send to Microsoft. If I view the error report it is quite long. Each time I click and send the report. However, it only occurs with word, not excel.

    - Themed Document and Section Breaks I'm trying to redo a document from Word 2003 to Word 2007. I want to take advantange of the new theming to make the document look more professional, but I'm having an issue with themes, formatting, and inserting section breaks. I created a customized template based on one of the standard themes, Equity Report, adding a TOC and tweaking colors and fonts only, and saved the template. I then created a new document based on my customized template. The problem started when I went to put a header on each page, starting with page 2 of my document. The first two pages are the cover page and the TOC. I ended up with the the header and footer starting with the TOC. I used to handle this in Word 2003 by adding sections, and starting the headers in the second section. My problem is that if I add a new section, I loose the theming on the new page. Any idea on how to add a section and keep my theme formatting ( borders etc.). SHouldn't this work similar to inserting a page break? Page breaks, incidentally, do keep the formatting.

Please give us some clues...

What version of Word
What version of OS
Are they patched up to date?
Describe the 'paper': tissue paper, newspaper, academic paper, rice paper?
What are you doing when it locks up?
Is it only this 'paper' or does it happen with any document?
