Peter,
Less some lurker assume that you have the corner on truth ...
I really have no interest in stalking you and if anyone had the slightest
interest in checking your facts they would quickly realize that I have
completely ignored nearly all of the 18+ thousand post and counting that
your have made in support forums within the last few years and most of the
ones that you have made recently. My intentions are to post replies only to
your posts in which you display your unbridled arrogance, offer your
opinions stated as facts, disparage the skills and contributions of others,
attempt to close doors or discourage users from experiencing the full range
of Word's capabilities by advising them that something is not possible or
not worth the effort or too hard; when and as it pleases me. Considering
your past and your nature it may please me to stay very busy.
Take Bonnie's comment for example:
"I have not mastered the styles/headings yet ..."
For all we know, for all you know, while perhaps she hasn't mastered them
she may already know far more about them than you or I. Even considering
that you are a man with a Ph.D., a former college professor and author,
editor, translator of numerous articles and books, with perhaps even an
elevated status in academic and linguistic circles, it "is" possible that
she is already more knowledgeable about headings/styles than you are!! Your
post implies that you have mastered them and that she is completely ignorant
of styles/headings and their employment/function. That is unbridled
arrogance. Even if I am wrong concerning your implications I fail to see
how your opinions about their simplicity and ease of use or your profound
statement that numbered headings are a bit more complicated offered any
substantive support or assistance. Perhaps you were just being inane.
Cheers

Bonnie,
Greg Maxey is an experienced, albeit self-taught, programmer, and a
liar who has suddenly made it his business to stalk me and post inane
replies to everything I post.
"Really easy when you know how" is a tautology, and a pretty idiotic
one.
If it were "really basic," Microsoft would include instructions for
doing it with every copy of Word, as it does for customizing the Quick
Access Toolbar.

Peter,
Since you are seeding more opinions. Here one of mine:
Like Styles, customizing the Ribbon is really basic and really easy
when you
know how.
Bonnie,

Styles are really basic and really easy -- they're just pre-made
collections of all the different formatting decisions that can apply
to a paragraph. You can tell Word to show you only the few styles
that
are actually being used in your document.
Headings are simple if you just use the styles "Heading 1" through
"Heading 9" that come with (modifying their formats as desired).
If you need your headings and/or paragraphs numbered, it's a little
bit more complicated, and it works somewhat differently in Word2003
and Word2007.

Not sure if I'm directing this correcting, but these people who
can't live without their "WordPerfect," c'mon, give me a break. I,
too, work in the legal profession as actually a legal secretary for
now 24 years and until 2002, we used WordPerfect religiously. I was
one of those who did not under
any circumstance want to start using Word and fought it intensely,
but now, I
would fight it intensely to go back to the inferior product of
WordPerfect.
People just need to chill out and give Word a chance. I really like
it, even
though I have not mastered the styles/headings yet, I'm still
plugging along
and my bosses (the attorneys I work for) seem quite happy with my
work, as I'm a perfectionist and it's quite easy to get a comma
italicized. Keep up the good work in helping people on this site.
