Any way to write-protect certain characters?
I have a long document separated by sections. Others edit the document,
and sometimes they delete the section breaks then save the document. The
messes up all my headers and footers, which depend upon the section marks.
I am hoping there is a way to write-protect the section breaks. I know
that seems unrealistic, but I am hoping to get lucky.
Am I lucky?

Equivalent command for repaginate now?
Hi,
Me again! I seem to recall when back when PCs were slow, a command (under
tools?) called repaginate now. The command forced Word to recalcuate page
breaks/numbering, well, now.
I'm waiting upwards of 30 seconds to see the changes I'm making to column
widths on a table (doc is 130 pages, I'm on a 1.8Ghz PC with 1 gig ram with
not much else running).
Can I speed this up at all? ...

Word 2003 - shift/return problem
Hi - I'm trying to format a long document for a directory. It was given
to me with 'shift/return's at the end of each line/paragraph instead of
just 'return's. As a result each time I try to, for instance, justify a
section, it effects the entire text and it's driving me insane. If
anyone could tell me a way to, in effect, split the text up, or replace
the 'shift/return' for a full return, I'd be...

How 2 get & install printer driver for Appellate Brief
Greetings,
I'll be working on an Appellate Brief for an attorney. I understand
that the page layout may appear different on-screen, between his
computer and mine. I understand that if I install a printer driver
for HIS printer, that I can get my on-screen display to look the same
as it will print out. Even though I don't have the printer itself.
How do I go about this?

Character spacing on screen
We have recently upgraded to 2003 and are experiencing a very strange
problem. A few documents, after being sent for printing, have changed
on screen. The typeface looks irregular - squashed together in places
and spaced out in others (like a very old typewriter). The page also
printer like this. The font doesn't look like Ariel 11 as is built
into our templates. It has happened to ...

Document Map/TOC
I have a 500 page document with lots of headings and styles. I am used
to dealing with documents like this but I have a problem that I cannot
figure out. The document map is drawing from most if not all of the
styles and headings. I cannot collapse it down. I didn't think this
was a problem until I regenerated the table of contents and saw that
even normalized text was being pulled into the...

Problem: Word and PowerPoint "reinterpret" fonts/formatting on others' docs
Hi there,
I've been having a problem for a while, and I'm not sure what to do
about it. It seems that, on my machine, PowerPoint -- and Word -- tend
to reinterpret docs that others have created.
If a colleague sends me a resume that they created in Word, often words
spill over from one line to the next. In PowerPoint, titles entend
slightly beyond the page boundaries. In PowerPoint, if ...

Table style header row loses formatting in Protected document

Understanding the documents that people create
Hi,
I've been a member of this group for a while and recieved (and given)
lots of help on Word.
I am currently developing a product to solve a number of the
formatting problems that people experience when working with Microsoft

If you could spare only a few minutes to complete the following

Color Printing
I had a user with a question regarding color pages. We have a leased
photocopier/printer where a counter is used to count the number of color
pages printed. We recently had a fairly high page count so the question
came about, if you print a document where one page is color, does Microsoft
designate that whole document as being color and thus even if you had 1 out
of 5 pages that were c...
