Default One page [only] Word restriction

I know very little of Word 2013, which I haven't used yet, but a number of
layout improvements have been made, according to the following KB article:

Changes in content layout between Word 2013 and earlier versions of Word
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2740483/en-us/

On the other hand, the click-to-run installations (which seem to be the
default for most end-user licenses??) appear to be flawed, based on the
reports seen in the Microsoft Community.

Yes -- it's the same in 2007.

I now know of _two_ improved features in 2010 that, had I known of
them at the time, would probably have led me to upgrade: provision for
different handling of bibliographic references in footnotes, and
automatic insertion of ligatures for fi , fl, etc.

I wonder what else they never bothered to mention, and what might have
been improved in 2013.

Sorry, I meant to write Word 2010! (I haven't used Word 2007 in a while

don't remember if there were any changes between 2007 and 2010.)

In Word 2007, the left-most group on the Home tab is called Clipboard
and
it contains items Paste, Cut, Copy, and Format Painter (if that
helps...).


It appears that following your guidance, I am now able to get the
normal
multiple pages on Word. Mahalo Nui!


Since the Home ribbon has changed so much, if memory serves me
correctly, it is missing the left-most Cut, Copy and Paste [as with
Excel]; but, can t be certain because it is not there on any old Word
document I bring up. Should it be there or not? If it should, how to
get it back?


How does one rename the Normal template?


'Stefan Blom[_3_ Wrote:

stored. :-(
You could try renaming the Normal template (with Word closed), and
see
if
that restores the built-in ribbon.


Please post back with the results of your testing.


How did you modify the ribbon?


Majority of changes to Word, causing current problems, were done via
File/Options/Customize ribbon/Add-Delete.


Will follow/try your advise below. I appreciate it.


'Stefan Blom[_3_ Wrote:-
;494405']How did you modify the ribbon? With Word's built-in user
interface (which
requires Word 2010 or later)? Or did you use some third-party
software?


Or (the simplest scenario) if the ribbon has just been minimized, so
that
you only see "File," "Home," "Insert," etc. but not the commands. To
fix


that, right-click the ribbon you can click to deselect the Minimize
the


Ribbon option.


To fix the problem that prevents you from starting a new page, try
the
following: On the Page Layout tab, click Columns | More Columns.
Under
"Presets," click the "One" option, even if it already appears to be
selected. Make sure that "Apply to" reads "Whole document." Click OK.
Does
that make a difference?


If you are seeing the problem not only with specific documents but
also
when
you create new ones, you have to open the Normal template as a
document
and
repeat the procedure described above. Save and close Normal, when you
are
done.

Under 'View', print layout is highlighted in orange.


I was trying to make the ribbon more useful for my applications; i.e.
under Home don t need, use or want all that space given to Styles;
but
would like rows and columns, page setup, etc.
In any event Word is all messed up now. No styles on Home but also
no cut, copy or paste.
Also, the right margin goes into a no response dead zone regardless
of
margin setting.
Examples of the one page only condition: if typing, at the end of
that
page the second page will not come up; or, copying a two page
document
and pasting it to a blank Word document, it will paste only the first
page, but; if a section of that paste is deleted or space on that
first
page can be gained, then part of that un-pasted second page will
appear
on the bottom of the first page.
Hope that helps.

Draft
view. Change
it back to Print Layout view on the View tab of the ribbon.

Usually, a new, blank document is only one page long. Pages are added
as
you add content that doesn't fit on the first page. You will have to
explain more in detail what happens... What are the exact symptoms?


Trying to make my ribbon more useable for me, I somehow have limited
any
new Word document to one page only and can not find a way to get it
back
to normal. Help?
