Grey border/white page
I used to use Wordpro and had my pageview set up so there was a grey
border round a white page, so it looked like it was a photo frame. I
can't seem to do that in Word 2002. Or am I missing something? Tag: what prom dress should i wear? here are some pix to compare Tag: 78975
Adding icon to toolbar to send an email
Long ago, I figured out (with this group's help) how to put an icon on
my toolbar so that when I click it, it pulls up an email ready to fill
out and send -- very convenient.
I used the Tools|Customize|Commands to do this.
Since 80% of my emails go to my assistant, I wonder if there is a way
to make it even more convenient, by adding an icon that when clicked,
it pulls up an email pre-addressed to my assistant.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Help please - macro is on normal.dot, but not running in documents
Hello,
In my normal.dot, I have the following macro (found in an old post in
this group)...
Sub AutoOpen()
Application.Run "GoBack"
End Sub
which places the cursor at the last edit point when a document is
opened.
This worked fine in Office 97, but I have just installed Office 2003
and it no longer works. I can open normal.dot, look in the VB editor
and see the macro. When I open normal.dot, I am given the warning about
running macros.
If I open any other document though, I don't get the warning about
running macros, nor does the GoBack feature work.
Any idea why? Thanks. Tag: what prom dress should i wear? here are some pix to compare Tag: 78936

Lost in a quandary. To Word 2K, or to Word 2K+3...and on what OS?
I have Word 2000 installed (Dell) on a Win Me HD, and I just installed a second
HD with Windows XP on it. All I have to use is Notepad and Wordpad in Windows
XP. I do have plans to have either Word 2003 installed or Corel WordPerfect 12
installed on the XP HD....sometime,...if the people in charge EVER make up their
minds.
While they are twiddling their thumbs for months and months, would it be OK to
find a shortcut from Win ME to startup the Word 2000 on the XP drive?
Would starting Word 2000 on the XP drive ruin the registry such that installing
the newer programs I mentioned would be a mistake after starting Word 2000?
If I installed the newer programs someday, how would that affect the documents
still left on the Win ME drive?
Will Word 2000 on the ME drive be upgraded to Word 2003 if that is installed on
the XP drive? (will grammar check ever point me in the right direction?)
Is the lifecycle of Word 2000 so sufficiently over such that I SHOULD NOT
INSTALL Word 2000 from CD onto the XP drive? (I would think so, but users here
may know more than I do, practically.) Tag: what prom dress should i wear? here are some pix to compare Tag: 78896

see blank box instead of drawing in Outline and Normal views
Hi there,
I'm using Word XP and cannot see the drawing I drew in the Print Layout
View
in Outline and Normal views.
I have read other posts on this matter but everyone's problem seems to
get resolved when they change the wrapping of their drawing, but that
doesn't seem to work for me.
In fact, when I change the wrapping of the drawing to 'inline with
text' I see in the Outline and Normal views, a white box in place of my
drawing with the exact dimensions as the drawing, which turns black
when I click on it.
And with other wrappings I see no trace of the image in those view.
I have tried these settings with and without the drawing canvas
circumscribing my drawing.
Any hints? Any thing else I could try?
Thanks everyone,

See ugly underlining in Outline View
Hi there,
I am new to the Outline View of Word XP 2002. I have played around and
researched but can't get rid of the grey underlining effect which you
see for a line with length equal to the length of the first subpoint
right under it (in its subtree) when you collapse that parent point.
Here's a snapshot of the expanded version (all file):

And in the following collapsed version you can see the annoying and
distracting underlining:

How do I create a letter that has areas where I can change a word.
Years ago, I used to work in an insurance office where they had letter
templates(sometimes called boilerplates) I could use. The person dictating
would tell me what number template to use. I would load it and then tab to
areas that needed to be customized. I could even choose from a couple of
phrases that would display. I could pick from "his", "her", "their", for
example to make it seem as if the entire letter had been written specifically
for the person reading it.
Is there a way to do this in Word 2000?

Repeating Data
Reading members? comments, I?ve come across some really good tips. One was
?repeating data? ? gregmaxey.mvps.org.
We have one particular Word template (Word 2000) (not forms) where we have to
insert the name of the company and the name of the insurance company many
times throughout. We currently use F11 to a Text Form Field and type in the
required information.
I?ve now followed the steps for the On Life forms and it auto populated the
relevant information into the appropriate places and would like to try and
incorporate these steps into the template.
As my Word knowledge is so limited, am I likely to run into any problems if I
change the template to show ?REF text?????? instead of the current form
fields. I?ve also noticed that when I press the Protect Form icon it locks
the whole document. Is there any way round this.

this would happen. I even made a new document and put the same content
into it - gave it a different name - and it still wouldn't print. Very

Frustrating bold/spacing problem
Occasionally (frequently), the spacing is completely eliminated for
those portions of my documents that are bolded. For example, if I bold

space -- all of the letters are squeezed into the one space. When I
make the text unbolded, everything is restored to what it should be,
except that I lose my ability to bold anything!

How Do I Type in Times New Roman a Unicode Hexadecimal Letter?
I'm trying to type a transliteration of Sanskrit devanagari in Word 2003,
using Times New Roman. I know the Unicode hexadecimals for those letters
that have diacritcal marks. However, most of the hexadecimals contain a
Roman letter, e.g., 1E47 for the underdotted n, preventing me from using the
ALT-X shortcut method of typing the transliterated letter (since there is no
E on the numbers keypad).
So my question is as follows: Is there a way I can still use the shorcut
method, or do I have to use, instead, either the copy-and-paste-the-symbol
method or the Autocorrect method? Tag: what prom dress should i wear? here are some pix to compare Tag: 78752
