The TOC levels can be changed to link to any arbitrary style under the "options" menu. Is there any way to make that change permanent, for example, in a template?

Hi there, I have some doubts about whether to split a long document that I'm writing at the moment into separate files. From what size, and maybe, for what type of content, is it worth to separate a word document into separate files? for example: one file for each chapter. The type of document I'm writing will be about 300 pages; with lots of figures, which I insert inline and li... 8 22.02.2006 21:51:49 New section header 'Same as Previous' - can default be changed Can the default for new section headers and footers be changed to be *not* 'Same as previous'?

When I checked Print Preview, my outline was gone. I've never had much success controlling outlines over the past 20 years I've been using Word. I thought I could just go to Format/Styles and Format and set everything straight. Sure doesn't look like it.

I have a 300-page Word 2003 document (master with about a dozen subdocuments), in which so far I have been putting text only, to avoid messing around with pictures, text boxes and the like. However, a point is coming at which I will need to add tens of such objects and would like to do it properly.

I don't know whether I've unwittingly caused them or if an update caused: 1. All of a sudden my Tools menu changed. Options no longer appeared. I had to dig it out under customization and pull it up on the toolbar where it sits next to Tools now. There have probably been other changes t... 5 29.01.2006 05:31:57 Horrible, just Horrible!

When I open my documents son the school's computers, all hell breaks loose.

I have many documents created from a public folder template that contains styles and keyboard macros. Therefore whenever I open one of the documents, it pulls in the macros from the template. If someone on the network changes the name of a folder in the path to the template, however, the link is broken and I can't use the macros. I need the documents and the template to remain public, ... 10 27.01.2006 12:48:57 Word 2003 messes up my page numbering I use Word 2000. I saved a document onto my USB drive. I went to school, plugged in the USB, and opened the document. The school computers have Word 2003 on them. I worked on the document. When it was finished, I inserted page numbers into the footer. Instead of numbering the pages from 1-207, it started each section over again.
