Greetings, Many times when I do a Find search, Word decides to look for those items that are underlined. I have to tell it No Formatting about half the time. Is there any way to get Word to behave? It’s annoying. Thanks!

I’ve got a situation that has me totally stumped. I inherited a report that has a title page (first page of the document) that needs to be removed. There was a section break between the title page and the one following. Title page removed. Now the resulting first page will not allow me to...

Is there a way of constructing a report so that it will print out two record sets per page? I suspect it’s something simple, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!

There seems to be a problem with graphics in Word. Sometimes they show, but most often they do not. Occasionally clicking the item will make it appear. Once in a while, changing the zoom level will do the trick. But, when you need to see them, naturally they are invisible. (This doesn’t...

I’m trying to create a Word template that includes a text field in the header. When in the header the Forms toolbar is grayed out. I tried cheating by copying the field, but when I try to paste it in the header, Word tells me I can’t do it. Surely there must be some way of getting around this...

I’ve inherited a form that needs to be modified so much that I'm starting from scratch. Naturally, the original author is no longer with the company. It contains several checkboxes, which in itself isn’t a problem. But making them work is another thing. What I mean by “making them work”...

I’m wondering if there’s any way to differentiate the page number displayed in the TOC from the text on the same line. For example, TOC level 1 text is all caps, but the page number also has that format. With numerals, this isn’t a problem. But in some cases Roman numerals are used, and it’s...

Occasionally I receive a document (always by email) that decides to spell check in another language. I’ve been to France, Germany, China, and, most recently, Ecuador. The documents come from different sources from within our office. In one case, I had a document that was first French, and...

I have a table in Word that has been set up to use data from an Excel table in a mail merge. The Excel numbers, going to 3 decimal places, were entered directly (not the result of a calculation). When the merge is performed, the numbers appear off by about +/- 0.00...1 (17 decimal places). The...

I’ve created a form that calculates entries from two fields, as in =[Field 2]-[Field 1] The problem is, although the results of the calculation are displayed in the form, they don’t get pasted into the table (Field 3). I’m sure I’ve missed something simple, but can’t figure out what it is.

Ran across this today. I had to move a right-aligned header because it printed over the stationary logo. Moving the right margin didn’t move the header or footer at all, which I thought was really odd. I ended up moving the header into the spreadsheet. Was that the only solution? What if I...

I’d like to be able to format check boxes in forms and reports. In order of importance, I’d like to: Eliminate the border, particularly in a report Change the size of the box (not necessary, but a plus) Change from a checkmark to an X (just cosmetic) Please keep in mind that I can’t spell...

I have a template that was created with an earlier version of Word (97?) that has a nasty habit of wrapping the second space between sentences to the beginning of the next line. The solution is to remove one of the spaces, which then brings up a grammar error. Is there something I can do short...

Converting a Word document to .pdf format, I’m getting a box around inserted pictures (in this case a .tif). The same document converted from a machine running 2002 (Office XP Pro) doesn’t include the box outlining the image. Both are running Acrobat Standard 6.0.1. All Office updates are...

We just upgraded to 2003. Each time an Access database is opened, we get This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation? I tried creating a new database with only one table, one column (plus the...

If you have multiple Word documents open, selecting something other than your default printer changes the printer for all subsequent documents unless you make another change. Even if you close all Word documents, the last printer chosen will be the one that receives the print job unless you...

In Word XP, when a printer is selected, all the currently-open documents decide to use that printer regardless of previous settings or the default printer. (This does not happen in Excel XP.) Our IT department has recently updated all our computers to the latest, and it seems to me that before...

I have data stored in Access in memo fields that will be presented in Excel tables. When I export the query data, the resulting table data stops at 255 characters. It’s too much trouble to create a report in Access. Any way to beat this ancient problem?

I’m doing a Word mail merge using Excel as the data source. The data, mostly numbers, are going into a table. The numbers have decided, on their own, to extend themselves by 14 decimal places! This doesn’t happen to all the numbers, only to two columns of data. Originally, the cells were not...

Trying to mail merge data from a query. I want to print all records and include [MemoField] if [Yes/NoField1] is yes, AND if [Yes/NoField2] is yes. Otherwise I want the data in the memo field to not print. Unfortunately, I’m horribly challenged when it comes to writing these types of...
