I've had to do this before. Insert a blank column in between the first name & the last name columns. Insert 3 extra blank cols between the last name & the number. Then convert to text, separating by...

Thanks to everyone for helping me out. You all certainly have a lot of patience, and I really appreciate it -- especially since we now have a much better macro than we did.

Both suggestions here are great ideas, but I'm such a novice at code that I can't figure out how to get either into my macro & have it work; I've tried lots of different ways and nothing works. I am...

sounds like a good idea, and I'll have to find someone that can show me how to do that -- I've never used a message box either so that would be a learning experience too.

Thanks. I may try hooking the two together just to see how it works.

Our group of 4 will be working on docs with lots of tables. Our table border & heading row shading need RGB values entered, so I've recorded a macro to do this. Trouble is some tables have more...

I've got Word 2K at home & just checked your comment about no place to specify tab location in the format numbering menu. It lets you specify where your text position indents, however. You can...

Once you choose a border style and a color, you have to make a choice from Settings, or the border is never applied. Once you choose a setting, it will stay that way. You can also use the little...

Have you tried using tables? Most of the forms I see where I work are done in tables and that's how I would want to do a fill-in form. Put each field to be completed in its own cell.

There's a long thread on table style issues a little ways back & a macro given in Post 615,412 <!post=post 615412,615412>post 615412<!/post> that has been a wonderful tool for my group. We were...

If you select one image & reveal field codes (shift-F9), you'll find that all images are actually embedded slides. If you right-click on the image (at least in Office 2003), you'll find that you can...

I contributed some to this thread before. Since then (11/06), we've used "Table Normal" table style in all our docs. We work proposals with many different writers; our docs go thru several rounds of...

I know I'm late getting in on this discussion, but we use frames all the time to position figures with their captions; also tables with their titles if they are small and can be placed beside text. ...

I always modify my styles if I want them changed; I never let them automatically update. I did change the tabs in your TOC 2 style -- modified the style (first had to clear all tabs because it...

Have you tried inserting the charts & corresponding tables into a 1-row, 2-column table? That way you wouldn't have to deal with section breaks because of the switchover from 2 columns to 1 column. ...

Thanks Hans - I banished the Web toolbar long ago. Alt + left arrow works great.

Document with many hyperlinked cross references to definitions in the back of the same document. If you activate a hyperlink, how can you then go back to place you just came from? The assigned...

Glad I saw this -- sure is better than my list of symbols to get with Alt+4-digit numbers on keypad. Can't remember all the numbers so have to keep it close to my monitor. This will be much easier...

You can set the default for table styles in Table Autoformat -- you can choose Table Normal from the list and click Default . This will make all your tables have NO style, which is what every table...

Just gave this a quick try and it works great! Thanks a lot.

If you make changes to existing text with track changes on it shows all deletions & insertions. If another user makes changes to your changes, it also shows that. But if you cut & paste the text with...

We insert tifs or jpgs of forms into our documents --usually forms from Excel for our Cost volumes. Now we've found we can insert 50 or more at the same time (we were inserting one at a time with...

Thanks so much -- works great. If table end-of-row markers are already "Table Normal", all is left alone -- borders & alignment stay as it was. Only the ones that are different have these things...

Thanks for the macro -- we're changing ours to read "Table Normal" instead of "Table Grid" because we want to stay as far away from Microsoft table styles as possible and Table Grid is one of those. ...

I just read this thread. We just got done with a proposal where we had a lot of these issues (AGAIN). Copying from one document to a new one built on the same template (with minor changes) made...
