Indent in the first line.
I am writing my thesis and suddenly there is an indet on every first line of
the page. It just appeared there. My thesis is double spaced and justafied. Nothing shows on the ruler on top of the page. I looked at the formatting palett and played around with indents and everything is set at zero indent. I noticed when I highlighted the text by dragging my cursor across the page all the text highlights in yellow where the indented line in question highlights in black. I went back to earlier versions of my thesis where ther is no first line indent and the first line highlights in yellow just like all the other lines. I think that is a hint of what is wrong. But I can't figure it out. I bet the solution is simple so I turn to you the people on this disscusstion group. |

Catalog with many graphics
Is there any way to do a 20-24 page catalog in Word that has about 4 graphics per page. The
graphics are jpegs about 125k each. I can convert them to other file types if this would be better. What I am getting now is a document that keeps crashing my machine (because it is HUGE). I also have Publisher and am trying there -- but running in to the same problem Ultimately I would LOVE to convert to PDF that is of manageable size to either upload to a website or email (I suspect this won't happen). I am running Office 2000 on a Windows XP system -- Dell laptop -- Pentium M with 512 Ram Thank you in advance. Kathy G. -- "Rabbit" wrote in message ...

Catalog with many graphics
I suggest that you edit the graphics in an external graphics editor first:
get them to the correct size and resolution before inserting into Word. I find that the free utility IrfanView is perfect for sizing, trimming and setting the resolution. JPEGs are fine but much depends on what you are going to do with the document. If it is just for on screen viewing, then 72dpi is sufficient: if it is ultimately for printing, then try 144dpi: 300dpi may be too much with that many graphics in one document - but that may depend on your computer. Always use Insert, Picture, From File to get the pictures into Word. Sometimes PNG is a good alternative to JPEG if they are only going to be viewed on screen. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Kathryn Groves" wrote in message ...

And another half meg of Ram would not go astray.
