    - FACEID template no longer works now that I'm in Windows 2000 ... Don't know if this is a Windows 2000 or a Word question, so pls advise if I'm in the wrong ng. A few years back I dl the FACEID document from this webpage, http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomButtonImages.htm, or one similar. Since I dl, it worked fine all the time in Win98SE. In my new installation of Windows 2000, it doesn't work properly. I get a blank document labelled template1 but nothing shows up. If I change docts via the Window pulldown, it flickers on for a moment but then again disappears. At first I had thought it might be the macro security and so changed that to medium, but problem persists. Does anyone know where I can look for a solution to this problem? Again, if there is a better ng, pls advise. Thanks. :oD Tag: How to make forms? Tag: 87378

    - Fore Words : find all repetitions in your MS Word document ! Dear colleagues, Let me introduce small addition to MS Word , developed by our company. You may find it helpful in your everyday work. Fore Words is Microsoft Word add-in, containing small and easy-to-use program called Repetyler. This tool quickly scans the document and provides you with full picture of repetitions (either words or phrases) in text. Such information can help to improve (or just examine) the writing style in business documentation, literature text, correspondence, etc. Excessively frequent constructions and so called words-parasites can be invisible at a first glance, but drastically affect reader's impression in a wrong way. On the other hand, repetition analysis can help you to build the true portrait of person or find implicit messages in formal language. Web-masters can find Repetyler useful when analyzing words density and choosing keywords for search engines. We offer two editions of Fore Words, Standard (freeware) and Professional. Screenshots and downloads are availablle on product page : www.cro-code.com/forewords.jsp Thank you for attention. Cro-Code Software www.cro-code.com Tag: How to make forms? Tag: 87371

    - Printing an Attachment containing {FORMTEXT} I have a problem when printing an attachment received with an AOL e-mail. My PC uses WORD 2000 and Windows Me. The attachment contains the statement "This work will be performed at a fixed price of $123,456.00." Pressing ALT+F9 toggles that sentence between "This work will be performed at a fixed price of $123,456.00." and the sentence "This work will be performed at a fixed price of {FORMTEXT}. However, when the attachment is printed, the printed text reads "This work will be performed at a fixed price of $0.00." After the attempt to print the attachment, pressing ALT+F9 toggles the sentence between "This work will be performed at a fixed price of $0.00." and the sentence "This work will be performed at a fixed price of {FORMTEXT}. Several of my associates received the same e-mail and were able to print the attachment without a problem, i.e., with the price of $123,456.00. In case it matters, the following settings were observed when the attachment was first loaded: (1) Tools, Protect Document, in the Protect Document dialog box, " Tracked changes" was checked and "Comments" and "Forms" were not checked. (2) Tools, Options, Print Tab, under "Include with document" no blocks were checked. (3) Tools, Options, Print Tab, "Options for current document only", "Print data only for forms" was not checked. I will be grateful for any leads you can give me on why the printout does not match the original text. Tag: How to make forms? Tag: 87360

    - Weird line numbering Using Word 2003. We use line numbering extensively, and most of the time it works as advertised. However, sometimes when pasting a bulleted list into a table cell, the line numbers acquire bullets as well! Similarly with pasting numbered lists into a table cell -- the line numbers change from 1, 2, 3 to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. Closing Word and re-opening it does not fix the problem. The only workaround I have found is to shutdown the machine and reboot it. Then the line numbering is restored to normal. Has anyone else seen this, and is there a less drastic workaround? -- Ian Tag: How to make forms? Tag: 87342

    - Upgrading to WORD 2003 Hi, I bought a new computer a few months ago. It uses Windows XP. It came with a full version of MS Works 8 and a trial version of MS Office Standard. The trial period ends in a few days. I just bought the boxed upgrade for WORD 2003 only and want to install it. My Works 8. qualifies me for the upgrade. My question: To do this, do I simply go to add/remove programs and remove MS Office Standard, then use the new CD to install WORD 2003, or is there more to it than that?

Occaisionally, some of them want to print using manual feed on the printer rather than just printing.

    - Updating Office 2003 problem? Greetings all, I tried to help my mother In Law update Word by telephone, and had no luck. It was a rough going over the phone, but it appears we were able to do all except the final step(s). When she clicked to start the update, she got a message in her browser saying that she needed ActiveX turned on (OUCH). We ALL learned the hard way about ActiveX, and no one in the family uses it anymore. In fact, some have switched to Open Office. Rather then get grandma up to speed on OO, we'd like to have her use WORD as she is familiar with it and several other of the Office programs. Is there anyway to update Office (2003) without using an ActiveX capable browser?? It was a very pricey software package, yet she has never updated it.....It seems odd that there is no other way to update WORD, but the help file doesn't give any other option(s). Have I missed something, or should we just give up and convert her to OO now rather than have her run WORD without updates? Thanks, Ari Tag: How to make forms? Tag: 87304

Since I do a lot of typing, i rarely capitalize the first word of a sentence since I know Word is going to do it for me. However, when I end a sentence with a number, it does not capitalize the following sentence. There must be an "ignore" function somewhere for instances such as this.

Hi, Is it possible to make a form by Word?

Let me say, I need creat a form which will need users fill some information
such as
Name _____

Address _______

The user can put information on the line but should not be able to change
the form.

Can Word do this?

Thanks!
