automating Chapter numbers
I am using Word 2002 in Windows XP and am in the process of preparing a new edition of a book manuscript. In doing this I am changing the order of several chapters. In the earlier Word manuscript, the chapters were manually numbered (I title, II title2, etc.). Is there a way to automate the chapter numbers - the way caption and figure numbers are automated - so that they renumber them...

Form Field Date Comparison
In Word 2007, I have a form with fields. I have the user enter a date in Field1 and then want Field2 to do certain things based on whether the date in Field1 is greater than a static date. I read a great example from Graham Mayor that works, but when I try to change the date format from the example, it won't work.

Word 2007 indents (XP)
The paragraph dialog box will retain some but not all of my changes when making a new style or modifying a built-in one, such as TOC 2. I started a new document to test this, specifying 1 inch margins in page layout and TOC 2 beginning at .35 and a line spacing of 1.5. When I close the DB and then go back to it to see the changes, the left margin is a minus number (!) and line spacing a...

Formatting trouble
Please help me if you can. I have windows vista and word for windows 2000, or at least I think I do. When I type a word document in 12 font, with the dictionary set to U.K it stays fine and formats how I want it to. It puts in numbers for points and keeps the subscript and superscript numbers how they should be. Then when the document is closed and re-opened it has a whole list of command t...

After I upgraded to Office 2007, when I try to open a .doc file by clicking that particular file, or from an email attachment, it is not recognized as a word file.

Character spacing keeps adjusting itself
I am trying to type a book manuscript in Word 2007. I want a ragged right margin, but Word keeps adjusting the spacing of the text as I type it so each line is even. This gives me uneven spacing on each line and a (mostly) smooth right margin. I have the left justifaction set, but it does not effect the character spacing. How do I turn this off?...

Right-aligning a partial line of text?
Corel WordPerfect has a great code defined as 'FLUSH RIGHT' which allows users to type text left-aligned, but then, at any point, force the rest of the text to be right-aligned. The code was inserted with a function key, just as you might enter a tab. Pressing the function key twice, added dot-leaders between the left-aligned text and the right-aligned text. Is there a similar code or...
