    - Linking WORD Files Hi: Environment: WORD2000, XP platform. I have the following scenario: Document 1 text lines 1 ----------- LINK -----> document 2 text lines 2 I used the INSERT|FILE|INSERT AS LINK to link to the text in Document 2. I was under the impression that if I used links to files I could change the text in Document 2 and have that change reflected in Document 1 when I re-opened Document 1. However, this does not occur and I have to delete and re-enter the link. The questions are: Am I using the wrong WORD function to accomplish this? If the wrong function, what do I use? Do I use a field function? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for the help. Jerry Bodoff Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 52134

    - File Information Summary garbled, retaining bad info, how to clear info? Using WIN 2000 Pro; NTFS, with Office 2000 (updates up to date on both). = =20 I have found that the system is somehow retaining obsolete summary = information about obsolete (and indeed long deleted and vanished) files = that had Summary pages. For instance, I have a document called = ''d:\documents\home\Sophia\dog at large.doc''. In the ''Title'' = Section, under Properties>Summary (tab)>Advanced (button), I find that = the title shows as ''Springfield/Greene County dog catcher''. However, = I also notice there are two other listings to choose from. Both are = from long dead and gone files. Taking the first one as an example, it = is ''Small Shell'' (an old desktop shortcut to a 16 bit, DOS 5.0 = application, long deleted). Now, the ''Springfield/Greene County'' = entry should have been under the ''subject'' field instead of the title, = so I decided to delete it from there and put it where it ought to be. = However, I find I can add stuff to the list of choices here, but I = CANNOT delete stuff. I cannot for instance, make that ''Small Shell'' = entry go away. Furthermore, anything I add shows up under the = Properties of ALL subsequent documents that I check on. For an example. I decided to download, fresh from Microsoft, a document = from the knowledge base called ''msgina.doc'' (just picked it at = random). Then in the ''Subject'' line to the previously mentioned ''dog = at large.doc'' file I added ''whatever'' as the subject. Then I go to = the msgina.doc, which is brand new, never been opened before, and I find = on the ''subject'' line and option to choose from that says = ''whatever''. I cannot get this to clear. (And as an aside I might = mention that there appears to be some garbaged, garbled data being = retained.) Now, obviously, the data on the file information summaries is being kept = somewhere besides in the files themselves. But, I can't find it; a = registry search for anything that would turn up ''small shell'' for = instance comes up blank. A text search for any file containing the = words ''small shell'' comes up blank. =20 Quaere then: where is this data being maintained? How do I find it and = clear it, or delete it?

    - Windows and styles I have been converting from word 97 to word 2002 for windows xp I have two problems that I'd like to fix if possible. First Is there any way that I can get word to open multiple document windows in the same parent window instead of two completely separate instances? I often have two documents side by side in word. I "alt-tab" to another program. When I want to "alt-tab" back to word, I have to do it twice. I know that I can just click on the icons on the task bar, but I find the keyboard much faster. Second I use paragraph styles. In word 97, I could change paragraph styles by pressing 'alt-o-s', the first letter of the style that I want (say N for normal) and enter. When I do this in word 2002, a style window opens up and stays open after I select the style that I want. I then must close that window. I can see that this would be handy if I wanted to browse the document and change styles at will. But to change one paragraph, its a drag. Is there a keyboard shortcut for selecting a style without the window? -- Rick English Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 52121

    - Shortcut Keys I previously posted a question re: shortcut keys in Word 2002. I stated that the combination of Ctrl+Home should take me to the "Start of Document". However, this combination instead calls up the "Find and Replace" box. I have checked in "Customize Keyboard"..Categories" .. All Commands" ..Commands, "Startofdocument" ... and verified that the combination of Ctrl+Home is assigned, as it should be, to "Start of Document", yet the program doesn't work that way. Since the proper combination of keys is assigned as indicated, what else could be causing me to get the "Find and Replace" box? I can't reassign the keys, as suggested in one reply, as they are already correctly assigned. Any other suggestions as to how to make this shortcut key combination work properly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Irene L. Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 52120

    - Links I want to link two parts of the same business letter so that what I type into the one part appears in the other. If possible I'd like to make a template that will create a document with this property. For example, in the following message, I only want to type "ABC Company" once (in the opening address). Mr. John Smith "ABC Company, Inc." 123 Elm St. Mayberry, NY Dear Mr. Smith, I am selling a widget that is perfectly suited for use by "ABC Company, Inc." I think it will boost the sales of "ABC Company, Inc." dramatically. [more text] So, in conclusion, if you think "ABC Company, Inc." can use this widget, please contact me. In the template, I've tried selecting the text "ABC Company" and bookmarking it, then using "Paste Special" to put a link somewhere else in the text. But when I create a document from that template, the links get all mixed up and don't work. It keeps asking me if I want to save the changes I made to the template.

    - Dyamic Text Based On Section Titles Hi Everyone, This is a little hard for me to explain, but I'll give it a go. I'm trying to create a document that at the top (in the header) you have a bunch of information: ex. Name of Company {Section Title} ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Contents Prev. { PAGE} Next Where {Section Title} is, I would like text to be inserted there based on what section the person is in. The document I'm editing is very long (about 400 pages), and this will eventually be converted into PDF. So I don't want to have to write out the section titles for a large amount of sections. Is there a way of doing this? If so how? I've tried my hand at using Fields and thier codes, but nothing works. Eventually, when creating the PDF, I would like all the links and such to be created from the Word file so I don't hve to edit the PDF to do all these links. Any help and examples would be appreciated. Thank you. Thomas Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 52107

    - Re: Code to return exactly the same file size as Properties dialog Is it possible that my macro is more accurate than the Properties dialog and Explorer? In every instance I've tested, the Propertes dialog in rounding off the size of the file in MBs to the form #.## MB doesn't properly round the number but simply leaves the hundredths column as it is, regardless of the value in the thousandths column. So for example a raw MB size of 1.228027 is correctly resolved by my macro as 1.23MB, while the Properties dialog shows it as 1.22 Yet a raw MB of 1.49414 MB is shown correctly as 1.49, both by my macro and the Properties dialog. Of course, it's possible that my raw MB number, derived by dividing the bytes by 1048576, is incorrect, and that Windows is using a different raw MB number. Yet the consistency of my results would suggest otherwise. This may seem like a trivial issue, but it's interesting getting at the bottom of it. Larry Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 52097

    - derive kilobytes from bytes Is there a formula to convert bytes to kilobytes, which would work with any number of bytes? I want this for a macro in which I save a backup copy of a template, and at the end of the macro I display a msgbox with some information including the size of the newly saved template. I want this to be in the same format that you see in the File Properties dialog, with both the bytes and the kilobytes. The problem is that this involves more than simply dividing the number of bytes by 1.024 to get the number of kilobytes. That computation works with smaller files, but not with larger files.

    - Styles Hello! I don't know if you will be able to help me or not but thought that it was worth a crack. I am working for a health and safety company and have been charged with the mammoth task of tidying up all of the templates that they use, and making them into generic formats. I am not very computer oreintated and am finding this really hard. Wonder if you could awnser some questions for me?!?! When there is a table in a template and you are using the bullet points and numbers, how do I get the letters to not have a full stop after them? e.g a b c not a. b. c.?? When I started a new template this morning I suddenly found that I cannot access any of the styles that I have been using, I am clicking on the style button on the top of my toolbar but it only produces old ones that are not relevant and I haven't used.

    - Excel and Word disagreement I have a pastoral care and contacts database set up in Excel, and in one column each contact has a hyperlink to a Word doc file containing that individual's pastoral record. I can sort and filter the Excel data to my heart's content. When I click on a hyperlink the relevant file opens quickly in Word, and I can add to it, edit, and so on. The problem comes when I go to save it. Word closes instantly when I click on save, or save as, and the changes to the file are lost. The next time I start Word it actually offers to recover the document it had open when it shut down. I have no idea why this should be happening, and the setup is completely useless for my puposes like this. The programs are part of Office 2002. I would deeply appreciate any thoughts on this.

    - Endnotes/100's of pages added/footnotes not showing In my friend's dissertation file that she has been saving as an RTF using both Word 97 and Word 2000, she had endnotes, and using the endnotes suddenly added like 1000 pages to her file. So, she converted the endnotes to footnotes hoping that would cure the problem. It made the hundreds of pages go away, but: 1) after footnote #5, the footnotes no longer show up no the page (but you can see them if you do Show Footnote); and 2) Footnote #6 is very large and isn't seeming to automatically feed over to the next page, so it's causing a break so that there is only 1 sentence on page 13. For the heck of it I tried deleting about 2/3 of footnote #6 and it did then remove the weird break on that page. So it may have something to do with how large that footnote is and how it's not continuing on to the next page. Has anyone experienced either problem and been able to rectify it? Thanks in advance for any insights. I'm stumped. - Jen Tag: sending document using aol Tag: 51983

    - How to Layout Newsletter in Word I am trying to help out a non-profit organization by setting up the layout of their newsletter in MSWord. I am encountering a number of problems which suggest that either I am misusing the product, or else MSWord is not a suitable product for laying out a newsletter. Prior to this I have always used MSWord for documents which essentially consisted of a single sequential stream of text, broken up into sections and possibly using features such as columns. However in a newsletter there are multiple independent streams of text, each of the articles in the newsletter, which must be positioned on specific pages and in specific locations within those pages. At first glance that seems to be the purpose of text boxes. However text boxes do not permit using any advanced features. In particular I have already found out that I cannot use columns, nor can I use drop capitals on paragraphs. I am certain that as I proceed I will find many other features that I cannot use. Certainly that is suggested by the help topic describing the difference between text boxes and frames. I need the ability to define a set of rectangular spaces within the document, through which an article will flow. According to the help that suggests that I must use a text box, since a frame merely provides the ability to position objects. However all of the restrictions on a text box suggests that I cannot use a text box. Must I therefore abandon MSWord for this project? If so what product should I use to create this newsletter?
