I have a problem that seems strange to me. I am currently formatting a long document, where I have figures, tables, section breaks, pages in landscape or portrait mode, etc.

It was working fine, until I tried to save it as a pdf (or tried to print it). As soon as I press the print button (or the pdf one), it messes up my document. The styles of some section are completely changed.

I provided a small example (Test.zip). Just try to save it as a pdf, or to clic 'File -> Print...', and that will be enough to change the format of the document.

When I remove the 2 section breaks (Test2.zip), there seems to be still the same problem, so I actually have no idea what is happening.

Any idea? I might miss something very obvious.

Thanks!

Al

ps: It seems to do the same thing on Windows 7 and XP. Also, in the document I attached, the good tables and figures are not included and thus it's gonna say 'Error! Reference source not found', but what it does to the rest of the text remains the same whether or not the good figures are included or not in the document.

I think this is an Urban legend, but I am not quite sure.
I create 100+ documents by creating a new document and attaching a template to it. I then fill in the content.
Alternatively, I take documents that already exist and I attach templates to them, and with the Organizer pull in the styles I want.
My problem is that I have seen documents revert to the Normal.dot and pull in the styles formats from there; however, it is my belief that as long as I have some kind of tempate attached, this should not happen. Am I deluded in that, or do I really need to make sure that the people I send it to have the template on their desktops.
Please - this is one of many Word issues that drives me mad. ]]> Formatting Long Documents Linda Frankish http://www.wordbanter.com/showthread.php?t=155797 School Project, need word help http://www.wordbanter.com/showthread.php?t=155780&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 18:03:07 GMT I am creating a very large document, 208 pages so far for a school final project.

I am having trouble in a couple areas and need some assistance.

First, I have a ton of different sections so the headers of each of those sections need to be different. I figured out how to make them different by un-linking them but then my TOC does not count the pages correctly. So, this question is... Can my TOC basically ignore the different sections and keep counting without starting over at 1?

Second, I need my page numbers to start after the TOC. When I insert page numbers at the bottom of the page it adds the numbers but starts over at number 1 at the beginning of each section. What can I do to get the page numbers to start after the TOC and ignore the different sections so it keeps counting?

I am using Word 2007.

--If a visual is preferred I can email the word doc to someone or post it somewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

lets get to the point

i am having a thesis which i am preparing to make it print-ready
now the problem which i face is this

i have a title on page 4
and some text on page 5
if i change the font size of the title
the text of page 5 goes to page 4, not all of it though,

and for some reason
the titles are not given a 90pt space before them, although i changed the style, but somehow its screwing up

what i want to do is the following
put each heading on a page alone
give it a 90 pt space before sentence
assign a font,size and color
center-align it
and at last when i will add table of contents it will automatically pick everything up
regarding the text, i want two text fonts (already selected)
one for the normal text
one for the poems
file attached, please help
