    - Mail Merge and Spacing Greetings: I do a lot of mail merge for letter, envelopes and labels. On 2003 mail merge the spacing between the lines of Name, Company, Address, and City was the normal 1..... in 2007 there is an unnecessary space between all the lines (looks like spacing 1.5) althought it is not that spacing and is not identified when I go to paragraph where I was hoping to change the settings in order not to have a predefined spacing between paragraphs. The same happens when I type in a word document. If I allow the cursor to freely wrap to the next line there is not this troubling space. But if I need to press return to go to the next line the cursor jumps down at least 1.5 if not 2 spaces. I don't want this to happen either on my word document, word mail merge or word mail merge for envelope... I need to get rid of this spacing. I have to get rid of this spacing. Can someone point me in the right direction to get rid of this troubling spacing... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This 2007 is really different... I was not prepared for it when the boss installed it on the company server and then told us we had upgraded. -- David Tag: Tab stops Tag: 103869

    - The horizontal scroll bar - why does it keep reappearing? I'm using Word 2000 under Windows XP Pro SP2. Is there a foolproof way of making the horizontal scroll bar go away for good? However many times I've de-selected it under Tools/Options/View it always reappears sooner or later - sometimes the very next time I open Word, sometimes after a few weeks of daily use. The vertical scroll bar, on the other hand, has remained decently invisible ever since I first turned it off a year or so ago. It's not, I realise, a particularly big deal - and it's easily dealt with, temporarily, at least - but it is infuriating... Many thanks, Bert Tag: Tab stops Tag: 103868

    - Word Text Borders Won't go Away I created text borders by pressing the shift+8 key continuously until a dotted line was created the entire width of the page. These lines were used to separate line items in text. I went to "Format"+ "Borders & Shading" and attempted to remove all borders from my document. All borders were then removeable except for a few. They seem to stick to the bottom of a page or the top. I have not entered any data into footnotes or headers. Any suggestions on how to rid my document of these stubborn borders?

    - Table of Contents multiple styles I am trying to create a table of contents which I can almost get to work. The problem is I need 2 styles for the same level. The way the document is set up, most of the lines I want on level 1 are Times New Romans and 12. The appendix happens to be in Times New Romans and 16. Level 2 happens to be Times New Romans and 12 also. So what I did was set up Headings 1 and Headings 2 as Times New Romans 12 and Headings 3 as Times New Romans and 16 (and applied Headings 3 to Appendix. But if I try to set the TOC levels of Headings 1 and Heading 3 to level 1 and Headings 2 to level 2, Headings 3 becomes unchecked and doesn't show up in the contents at all. Is there some way to set up the table of contents to use the multiple styles for the same level? Thanks, Tom Tag: Tab stops Tag: 103833

Historical information in another text box at the top of the A4 so, when folded, it will appear in the back of the cover. How can I rotate the back cover text box 180deg so the text is upside down? (I see text direction in a text box can be sideways up or sideways down so it would be possible to do the whole thing on an A4 landscape with one text box up and the other down, but I should prefer to do it with a180deg rotation.)

    - Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation edition This posting is directed to anyone using Office Standard 2007 MAE, or to anyone using Office Standard 2003 MAE. I recently learned that MS offers an Office Standard 2007 Military Appreciation Edition (MAE), at a substantial discount over OS 2007 (The suite was a recently advertised item at my local U.S. Navy Exchange.) As a vet, I qualify for MEA. The MEA suite is a complete OS 2007 suite, however, I am concerned about the EULA. It prohibits the use of the suite for commercial, government, or non-profit usages. Aside from the personal joy that I receive from having genuine MS installed on my home cpu, I also need to bring work home from the office, or I need to initiate work related documents (commercial proposals, etc.) from home. My questions are- If I install MAE, will I encounter compatability issues with a corporate licensed edition? Will a home created document become corrupted at the office, or vice-versa? Will the creation of a corporate document on my home PC, place my company into a potentially illegal positon? If this occurs, or if I open my company to litigation for violating the EULA then the suite is not a bargain. Any comments would be appreciated. -- Tom Conrad Tag: Tab stops Tag: 103765

    - Office upgrade I thought I would ask you folks for your opinions on something I am thinking of just now: I have Office 2003 Professional installed on my PC (running Windows XP). I bought the Professional version as, at the time, I did quite a bit of stuff on Access. I have recently downloaded a Trial Office 2007 which I quite like. When the Trial version runs out in November, I need to decide on the options, i.e. Purchase a full version of Office 2007 Purchase an upgrade to Office 2007 (this is less expensive but are there disadvantages?) Which version? Now that I no longer use Access very often, would it be OK just to buy the Standard version and continue to (occasionally) use Access 2003 which I have already. I mainly use Word, Outlook and Excel. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. TIA Tag: Tab stops Tag: 103717

    - new end notes; old document I have a couple hundred end notes that I manually link to superscripted numbers in the text of an old document. Needless to say, it's tedious to change them manually when I add new end notes. At least I have the end notes renumbering automatically. But how do I convert them so that the superscript number in the text automatically changes when the end note number changes as I add new end notes randomly?

    - Working spreadsheet within Word The reports I write usually contain 20 pages of written material (word) and another 10-15 pages of spreadsheets (excel). Currently, I make PDFs and put all the excel pages at the end of the document as an appendix. What I'd really like to do is embed the Excel spreadsheet throughout the Word document so that I'm not always saying "see spreadsheet in appendix for details". I know I can paste tables, but I really would like to manipulate the spreadsheet calculations of necessary without having to continually repaste tables, so that's why I'm thinking "embedded" spreadsheet. Additionally, I'd like to "grab" some of the resultant calculations from the spreadsheet and feed it into a line of text within the Word document. I've heard that GoBe Productive can do this, but I really would not like to switch over all of our users...training nightmare... Can I do the above Word/Excel combo? If not, is MS working on it?

It's not quite clear what you mean with 'then use the function'. Could you
elaborate on what you are trying to do.

My guess is that you are setting the tab for the 'wrong area'. You need to
select the row first and then set the tab; or if you want it set for an area
or the whole document, you need to select the area of whole document before
setting the tab.
