    - complicated table of contents Hello, I have a document I modify each week and send out and when I made the original document I set up a table of contents which was triggered off 2 styles (myheading 1 and myheading 2). The 1st heading did not have any page numbers associated with it but the second heading did. It looked like this: {TOC \T " MYHEADING 1,2, MYHEADING 2,1 " \N "2-2"} And resulted in something like this (heading 1 is centered): Heading 1 Heading 2 ............. 2 Anyway, someone suggested that I somehow add into the table the author of each article. So I am trying to figure out the best way of presenting it and how to get it inserted into the table of contents. I could put the author name in a style of its own to be picked up by the toc. I could potentially put the author after heading 2 (article name) in a smaller type if that is possible or alternatively on a separate line also in a smaller font without a page number associated with it (since that would be covered by heading 2). Can anyone help me with this. If I have been unclear I can clarify. Thanks, Ben Tag: lost toolbar Tag: 74483

I want to use some drop down lists that give a few choices to choose from. The help system seems to be fairly straightforward. I am in the process of creating a new template. I inserted a drop down list form where I wanted it to be and then put in the various choices. When I hit OK, all I get is a gray box with the first choice in it, which is OK, but there is no down arrow from which to make a different choice if the default choice isn't correct.

    - Word 2003 Table Drop down menu defect? I'm running into major problems with Word 2003 doing things all my itself and then hanging up. I'm running Word 2003 on XP Pro. The program frequently and randomly places a non-functioning Table Drop-down menu on the screen (in equally random locations) and nothing inn the Word program works after that. When running multiple windows, the drop down menu often appears when I return to the program even if there is no document in use and it was not there when I went to another application. Also, the screen randomly and all by itself will go to the reading screen (I use print screen) and loses all the tool bars. While hitting ESC will return to the print screen, the tool bars never come back. I have to Ctrl-S and then Ctrl-F4 to get out, and then restart program. I've reinstalled many times, no change. None of my other applications share these problems or similar hang ups. I didn't find anything on this in the Microsoft knowledge base. Can anybody help? Is this a common error? Is there a fix?

When we check the paper size, the only size available is custom and this cannot be added to or changed. Apparently according to the Epson staff member this is the reason we cannot print to the C45.

    - booklets I hope I can ask my questions without getting too 'wordy'. I want to make a roster that will be printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, in landscape design, but done as two pages per sheet, and printed back to back. I can change the paper size to 5.5 x 8.5 or 8.5 x 5.5, but don't know how to set up the rest. When I tred a sample, and printed it, it either printed (portrait) in the center of the 8.5 x 11 paper, and when landscape did the same. The member who did the roster last year, said there was no way to add next members (in alphabetical order) once all the typing was complete and before going to printer with out retyping everything. Ugh! All I can think of now is to do it in portrait, cut off the margins and tape two pages together before copying them. When I did the newsletter several years ago, it was printed on 11 x 17 paper, so I just set up 8.5 x 11 sheets in portrait and then taped the appropriate pages together to get the booklet form, again printing back to back.

Bill Dilworth (MS PPT MVP Team) told me that this post belongs somewhere in this newsgroup: I have a word2000 doc with 100 links to slides in ppt files. The links are created as icons.

When I click "Change Source" in the "Edit|Links..." box I get a browser that eventually asks for the item number that I want to change to. How do I know what the items numbers of the slides are in the ppt files? I can find out by copying a slide and pasting as a hyperlink into the doc file and then viewing "Field Codes" in the Tools|Options" window.

Hi Don,

Could be somewhere off the edge of the "page"... If you run
the following macro, does it show up again?

Sub MoveHFbar()
CommandBars("Header and Footer").Top = 20
CommandBars("Header and Footer").Left = 20
End Sub

Note: if you don't know how to use a macro, there's a
tutorial at word.mvps.org
