auto format
I have a document that I'm making the margins smaller so I can condense the
number of pages. Usually I'll "select all" and use autoformat and it will format the document to the new margins, but I have a document where it isn't working. Any suggestions? Jenny |

Jenny What does "it isn't working" mean? Do the lines start at the new left margin and stop short of the new right margin? If so, you probably have a paragraph mark or line break at the end of each line. To check it, click the ¶ button on the toolbar. A paragraph mark looks like the symbol on the button, and a line break looks like an arrow pointing to the left (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...PrintChars.htm). If that's the problem, then the solution is at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...eanWebText.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Jay,
The text was short of the right margin, and it's due to paragraph marks. According to the FAQ, it should be able to be fixed by Autoformat, but that still didn't work. I realize this is something that should be very simple (but it isn't if you don't know how to do it). I really appreciate your help. Jenny |

Jenny I almost never depend on the "auto" stuff -- it's too dumb to know what you want. Since autoformat didn't do the job, go on to the next part of the article, "Using Find and Replace". Trust me, it works! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
