How can I separate an automatic Table of Contents update when there is an Appendix A and Appendix B and I want them to be on the same page but different sections. When I hit update field it puts it all back in one section again....

saving to print file - *.prn ... how do I print it?
Instead of printing the document I saved it to file and it was given the prn extension. Just now I went to print it and Windows could not open it. I 'associated' it with Word and still nothing. Perhaps I don't understand how this works. I assumed that by printing to 'file', I could then print the document at a later date. This is not a major issue as I will open the *.doc ducument a...

How do I get the sum of a column of digits in MS Word 2007?
In older versions of Word getting sum of digits was possible by using TOOLS and going to formula (or equation?); but there is no TOOLS tab in Word 2007. So where do I go to be able to get the sum at bottom of a column of digits in a table?...

What are the gotchas?
I just tried what seems to me like a too-simple way to replace two or more spaces after a word or the end of a sentence, and that is to search for white space (^w) and replace with one space by just pressing the space bar once in the replace box. It seems too good to be true, so before I adopt this approach, please tell me what could go wrong, assuming the material is just regular par...

disabled macros in document
I'm not finding what I'm looking for when I search. I have a document, that when I open it has the Macro options grayed out. It also has forms on it that I cannot seem to change. Other documents that I have opens normally, so it must be some start- up macro/code embedded in this document. Is there a way that I can disable this so I can open the document to make modifications to it? ...

Need help placing photos in newsletter
I'm still trying to work my way through Word (long-time WordPerfect user but new to Word) and set up our church newsletter.

saving after laptop suspend
Hi, Here's a scenario that happens to me several times a week. I was wondering if anyone has a solution. I am editing a document on a network share. I suspend and resume the laptop. When I resume, word detects that the network has gone away (possibly because it takes a while for the wi-fi to reconnect). sometimes I get a spurious error that the document has changed on the server. ...

help me with corrupted Word document!
I am praying that someone out there can tell me what the heck I need to do here as I am desperate... I uploaded a manuscript I created in Word 2007 onto an internet publishing site, but my account liaison says that she cannot open the document - that it is corrupted and needs to be decoded. How do I (or how does she) do this? Some background: I did not originally have Word on my sy...

How can I create my own font?
I have a number of objects, created in PowerPoint, one for each of the characters a>z, A>Z and 0>9. I want to make it possible for a user to be able to type as normal and have the individual characters replaced with the corresponding object, effectively an alternative font. I understand that I could create my own font from these, but how? Can anyone recommend any free software...

What can be causing very slightly inconsistent top margins?
I have a document of some 120 pages, typed throughout to a consistent layout: one template, one typeface (Courier new 12pt) and one header, (consisting of just the page number in the upper right-hand corner). Strangely, the words on a few pages seems to be positioned very slightly lower than on the majority. This is most noticeable when moving through the document in print view - the to...

Restoring web links to text?
I am preparing a second edition of a book I wrote the text of which happens to contain a number of URLs. For this new edition I wish to check the validity of these urls - which unfortunately are not grouped together in the manuscript. Furthermore, in the Word doc I am working from, the url hyperlinks have all been removed. Is there a way these hyperlinks could be "restored" (preferably...

Auto Text hierarchy
On the toolbar in Word 2003, the Autotext appears to have a hierarchy. For example on the drop down is an entry called Attention click the arrow on the end and you get a drop down with Attention: and Att:. So how is this down and how does it translate into Word 2007. John... Visio MVP ...

Text Wrap??
I don't know if this is the proper title.. however, what I want to do is to copy text from a document that is narrow and paste it into a new word document and have the text move out to the edges of a standard page. In other words, when I paste the document into my new document, the lines are only about 4" wide. I'd like them to extend to the standard margins. How do I do this? Tha...

If so, how is it done? Thanks, MaryL ...
