    WORD Calendar Won't Print

    Hi all. I can create/save a calendar in MS Word (2002, on Win XP) using the calendar wizard. It appears nicely on the screen. But I can't see it in print preview (I see a blank page) and when I send it to the printer it generates a blank page. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Tim...

    Word: Select Only One Checkbox in Row

    Hi Folks, I have a form (you may have heard) with many questions followed by three checkboxes in columns labeled Yes, No and N/A.

    Object Names (easy question)

    Hi All: Curiousity question, more than anything. When I started using Access around 1996, I don't recall any instructor or manual advising that tables should be named tblEmployees or tblContacts, etc., or that any of the other current prefixes be used. I named things like "R: Status...

    Really Bad Original Similes

    This one popped into my head a couple of weeks ago and starting a thread was the only way I knew to get rid of it... "dressed up like a nuclear plant trying to make a fission statement" I have no idea what it means. THanks, Tim and Tim again

    Formula/Equation in Word Table

    Folks, Is there any way to total a column in a Word 2002 (XP) table where the total will recalc automatically if a figure in the column is changed?
