Zoom and select features?
Today, the zoom feature/listing disappeared from the bottom of my edit menu
in MS Word 2003, why? Do I have to go out of Word to get it back? also, when I select a sentence with the control plus mouse click, that selects the sentence PLUS the endnote of the previous sentence every time. Is there a way to stop that? thanks |

Is there a way to stop that? I guess your Endnote reference is placed to the right of the period that finishes the previous sentence, right? I do not know what the standard practice is, but if you place the reference to the left of the period, you will not see that behaviour. A sentence, for Word, is everyting between two sentence delimiting punctuation marks (periods, excalmation points, ellipsis points, etc.) One way around that is to place the cursor at the begining of the sentence, and then SHIFT-Click at the end. |

Hi, that solved the zoom problem, thanks a lot.
But on the other: in US English copyediting all footnote and endnote numbers go to the right of the period of a sentence, not inside the period. It is odd that MS Word uses the British copyediting form? Your trick is too cumbersome to be useful, really. I wish there was some way to set it not to take a space and number at the beginning of its selection of a sentence?? I use cursor/click so much, that this is a serious flaw in word "Jean-Guy Marcil" wrote: "removing all headers and footers" wrote: Today, the zoom feature/listing disappeared from the bottom of my edit menu in MS Word 2003, why?

I use cursor/click so much, that this is a serious flaw in word Sorry, it was not really meant as a trick, just another way of selecting a sentence. Surely you do not have endnote references at the end of every sentence? So, for the few cases you do, use the SHIFT-click approach instead of the faster CTRL-click one... I do not think there is a way of modifying that behaviour, which is not dictated by type setting policies, but, I believe, by the simple fact that Word determines that sentences are all characters between two senence-delimiting punctuation marks. Maybe it should differentiate based on certain factors, but then it would be a headache for the developpers... What about quotation marks? Brackets? Curly Brackets? etc. |

Hi, sorry to be late on this, but the control click is what I use a great deal.
with lots on endnotes in my scholarly papers and books, that is a pain to use, esp. when I am working to deadlines. The control click works fine with brackets of all kinds and curly quote marks. Word knows not to select those at end of the last sentence. There should be an easy way to tell it, via a macro, not to select endnotes or spaces at the beginning of a sentence? But I do not know how to create such a macro. "Jean-Guy Marcil" wrote: "removing all headers and footers" wrote: Hi, that solved the zoom problem, thanks a lot.
