Using Word 03 on an XP SP2 box.

I have noticed on docs from time to time (several legal) that often the
creator or the creator's secretary or assistant in a lot of cases has put a
detailed title of the document whether it's a motion or anything else
centered down at the bottom of the page with the tiny "page 1 of 11" for
example. They can get a lot down there because it's tiny and I want to do
this with the documents I'm making. I will start searching with awkward
terms like "tiny font bottom page Word" but hopefully someone will show me
how they do this.

Thanks much in advance,

Chad Harris

The space that repeats at the bottom of every page is called the footer, and
this webpage will explain how to do what you want.

And the "tiny font" part comes from formatting the text at a very small font
size. Although the smallest size shown in the spin box for Font Size is 8
points, you can format text at any size from 1 point to 1,238 points, in
half-point increments. Just type the size you want into the box and press
Enter.

Just a rhetorical question, Suzanne: who would ever use a 1,238 point
letter? At something over 17 inches, wouldn't this be a poster child
for the "jaggies?"


Blessed be, for sure...

Not at All. Word will accept paper up to 22" x 22" on which a character
1,638 points (which is what Suzanne meant to type) in most fonts will
comfortably fit on paper that size.

Certainly a figure 8 in Arial, Bold 1,638points has room to spare!

Thanks for the correction, Terry. I used to always look that figure up in
"Limits for Word," but now that Word's Help no longer has that topic...
sigh The curious thing is that either the Help topic or the KB or both
implied that the 1,638-point limit was determined by Word's 22" page size
limit. This was actually stated as 1,638 points = 22". Yet 1,638 points ÷ 72
points/inch = 22.75". I've never understood that.

Thanx, Terry. My perception of the point-inch relationship must be
off. I would figure 1,638 points to be closer to 23 inches. And gosh -
I don't think too many of us non-professionals out her have printers
that will accept 22x22 paper, regardless of what Word will accept. And
my funal questions still stands: when I input a "figure 8 in Arial,
Bold", the "jaggies" are rather prominent on my screen; wouldn't they
also show up on paper?


Blessed be, for sure...

Daiya and Suzaane--Tx much for great prompt help that alwyas comes in this
group and
Tx for the link to Suzanne's very helpful site. Hopefully I can get into
doing the small font fotters properly. I'm not sure still though if their
purpose on these legal docs has any retrieval function at all because the
footers contain more than the titles--i.e. they often contain office
addresses, motion titles, case styles, and pages--so I'm wondering besides a
style if they have any retrieval significance
