How do I add another language/dictionary? (Word XP/2002)
We have a contractor from Venezuela using a WinXP/OfficeXP PC in our office. He needs to check grammer and spelling in his native langauge. I sat down and used the drop-down to select Spanish (Venezuela), and it then started the install process. Mid-way, as expected, it asked for the Office XP CD. I inserted it and it soon said it needed a file not on the CD -- PROREP.MSI. I thought it...

All has been fine, but this morning, I opened the document map so I could jump down to another part of the document, and noticed that there were far more "Heading 1" styled paragraphs than there should have been.

Redundant extra page
I tried to set up a 10 x 4 envelope at the top of an 8 1/2 x 11 page (landscape). Brought in a table of one cell, just for visual alignment, and text boxes for return and send addresses. Somehow, the program has ascertained that I really want 2 pages, each 11 x 4 1/4 above and below each other. So print results in a blank sheet and an ok envelope. But the blank sheet prints first (my optio...

Preventing fomatting from migrating to other pages
Hello Everyone! This has long bugged me. Many times I write in Word in three columns, with page 1 using a 3" top margin (usually with a text box above it) and the rest of the pages using 1' top margins. The problem is that if I insert additional text on the first page, the overflow moves to a NEW second page (Word automatically inserts the new page) that has a 3" top margin. If I use...

Using Word 2007, is there a way to permanently remove the "Change Styles" in the Styles Group on the Home tab of the Ribbon Bar? We do not want our users to use the Style Sets and the phrase 'Change Styles' looks too much like "Modify Styles." I wish it wasn't so conspicuous.
