After you have downloaded it here are the problems I'm having:


Download a 22 MB file without any warning that it's going to be that
big? You're asking a lot of bandwidth, patience and macrovirus risk.
Surely you could at least post a cut-down document to illustrate your point.


You want me to use Camtasia and do a video and post it ? The file will
probably be larger but at least you won't have any chance of getting a
Word virus. I don't think 22 megs is really that big in todays world
unless your on AOL / dialup.

A short document will suffice. 22 megs is a big file for many of us
regardless of what ISP we're using. You're sending vast quantities of
unnecessary data and asking us to sift through it to find your problems.
I don't see why anyone here should isolate your problems for you.

Your sarcastic suggestion about Camtasia really doesn't help your
situation. Nor does your diversionary tactic (in your other post) about
people being scared of MS software. It's your document that we don't
trust. By sending the entire thing, and then asking US to isolate all
of your problems from the surrounding data, you're coming across as
lazy, unreasonably demanding, and unappreciative. Your poor spelling,
punctuation and grammar only bolster that appearance.

Headings... what is the best way to name them ?

Use the inbuilt heading system, and keep the default names.


How do you do that when you have numerous instances of say Heading 2 ?
Heading 2 with 6 before. Heading 2 with 6 after. Heading 2 with ....

If you want to control the text like that, then you don't want to use
hierarchical styles at all. Styles are for consistency and to emulate
traditional typesetting. You're asking for inconsistency which, in
traditional typesetting, is simply not done.

That said, you can modify each heading separately. You can also create
custom styles based on heading styles and name them "spaced heading 6pt
before" and so on.

As for your other comment about Word being unsuitable for desktop
publishing, why use it if you want a desktop publisher? Word is a word
processor, not a desktop publisher, so of course it's not going to serve
as a desktop publisher. It doesn't even do a good job of justification
and footnote text flow!

If desktop publishing is what you want, you could switch to FrameMaker,
PageMaker, TeX or MSPublisher. Each has different strengths and weaknesses.
