For some reason, I cannot accept changes to my automatic list numbering. It shows a strike out of wrong outline numbers and the correct ones are displayed as changes, but I cannot accept the formatting change and have the change disappear!

I have a document comprising of blank pages (different page sizes and orientations) that I wish to put line numbers on. I can enable line numbering in word, however when I hold the enter key down, and get to the end of the first page, a new page is created. I don't want this, as I want the line...

Hi there, I'm working on a special book of the correspondence I've had over the years with my wife, as a gift for her.** I had an idea to include a magnetic poem I once wrote for her - you know, with those little squares and rectangles with words that you can stick on the fridge?* The poem loses...

I'm using an up-to-date version of Microsoft 365 for Mac. As of yesterday, combining characters are showing in red. These are Unicode diacritic markings that are part of the font, and are added above or below main characters. This is not simply a display issue. The characters also export and print...

Hello! I'm working on a meaningful personal project. My wife and I had a 7-year correspondence long ago and I've edited our letters down into a 400-page book I'll have bound for her birthday. After distilling the text down to the interesting bits, designing the artwork, etc, my last barrier,...

I'm typing a document in Word, and for whatever reason, when I hit my backspace button, it automatically highlights all of the prior text, on ALL of the pages. And of course, if you hit the Backspace button again, it deletes everything. I'm about to have a heart attack, and need to get this...

In Word 2007, using an existing merge document and Access data, I am unable to use the "update labels" command to make changes in the label format. How can I fix this? -- Dianne Griffin

After watching lots and lots of YouTube videos I am starting to understand the above. I’ve made some temples with a logo in the header and saved those to the templates folder. I have a question regarding styles which will probably lead to further question. I can upload files tomorrow if that...

I am trying to type some original lyrics and want to then type the guitar chords above them. Is there a template or standard way to do it other than just double spacing and going back into the blank space and adding chord in "superscript" form??

I downloaded the word book template - are you suppose to just use the template to set up and following along in a new word doc? I started to just fill in what it says in the template but now can't delete what the template says or even fill in some of the blanks - copyright being one of them. Is...

Hi everyone – I'm pleased to find a forum where at least some people are still using older Word versions. (I stopped at 2003 to avoid the Microsoft "ribbon" that replaced good ol' menus... What was wrong with them, anyway?) For as long as I can remember, my copy of Word has had a peculiar bug:...

Every time I try to print my PhD dissertation, the only thing that is printed are the chapter numbers. ALL of the text, including revision comments, disappears. Saving as a PDF doesn't help. All of the text is there in the print view. As soon as a try to print the document or save it as a PDF, the...

I have a .dotx template with doc-properties fillable fields from the quick parts menu, and it works fine when it's opened from the file menu, but when opened from Windows Explorer one of the fields doesn't work right. It pops up a dialogue box just titled at the top "Microsoft Office Word" and...

Document contains a symbol that looks like the degree symbol between spaces instead of the usual dot. How do I get rid of it?

I would like to use a specific logo (as JPG or PNG) as a symbol in Word, with a keyboard shortcut key, to then use in another application that's on Microsoft access. I'm very new to this, so I think the best way is to make it happen in word first and then just use the shortcut key to add it in...

I have carriage returns in all my footnotes, after the footnote separator bar (2 carriage returns) and before the footnotes. All footnotes are like this as if the formatting is corrupted. I can delete them all and put them all back in with the same format. I can change everything except I cannot...
