    - Survey with grouped option buttons I have a survey I created, with grouped option buttons that have been e-mailed to many hundreds of our employees. They fill out the survey and send it back via e-mail. Everything was fine until this morning, when I was suddenly unable to open the attached surveys. I have tried saving to a folder, changing name slightly for eadh and then opening directly from WOrd, double clicking the attachment, rightclicking and selecting Open. None of these methods seem to work. I am at a loss. I am eagerly soliciting suggested techniques to fix this. The HelpDesk is likewise stumped. Please help.

    - Word 2007 - where is outline numbering????? How the hell do I change the format of my outline numbering in my Heading 1 style. This style has a alpha prefix to the number, and was created in Word 97. I now want to add an underline to my numbering and text, but when I click on Modify to any styles, there is only an option to change the Number format and not the Outline number format. I suspect their new "Multilevel list" is the Outline numbering, but its not an option to edit in a style. Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers Grant Tag: new to word 2007/vista Tag: 112836

    - Need help with Find and Replace using Regular Expressions I'm trying to search for instances of "St" in the middle of a word (uppercase S, lowercase t) so that I can use Find and Replace to correct the casing (as in firSt, laSt). I've come up with the following regular expression string which almost works: [!(<)( )(")(')^13]St It was necessary to add so many exclusions to prevent it from giving me "St" at the beginning of a word or line, after initial quotes, etc. So, this works well except that it highlights not just "St", but the letter preceding it: "rSt", "aSt". This prevents me from using Find and Replace to replace "St" with "st". I can't seem to get a wildcard like ?st to work in the Replace box, so I'm stuck. What is it about my regex string that says "return the letter preceding the string I'm looking for too"? Thanks in advance. Tag: new to word 2007/vista Tag: 112799

    - Bizarre lines - undeletable (W2007) Several of us are collaborating on a document in Word 2007. One gentleman tried to mark a placeholder for something by typing several asterisks in a row and hit enter. The asterisks were immediately converted by Word to a margin-to-margin row of little squares, and I can't delete them. I've highlighted the area on both sides to include the mysterious row of boxes...still nothing. They kinda act like a section break in their resiliency (but in Word 2007 I can't figure out how to tell what section I'm in like I could with previous versions where it was in the status bar) If you hover the mouse over one of the lines, the cursor changes to the same symbol you get in older versions when you hover over a row in a table and you want to make the row taller. Sorry, can't explain this better, but the computer is at work where I don't have Usenet access...trying to do this from memory at home. 1) What happened? 2) How do I get rid of them? 3) How do I prevent this from happening again? And on a related note: 4) where do I find the info that tells me what section the cursor is in (previous versions had it in a status bar...tried to find that in W2007 and couldn't).

What does "I sent a paper by web ct w/.doc." mean? You sent your document
somewhere, it was corrected, and now you can't read it? Ask the person who
corrected it to send it again.
