Question about sections
Is there a way to select all of the text in one section? I'm working with a
manual that has 28 sections and my boss now wants me to use Arial instead of Times New Roman in a couple of them. (I've tried telling him the TNR is easier to read when printed but he's the boss.....) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 |

Question about sections
Hitting F8 twice will select the word, three times the sentence, four
times the paragraph---and five times the section! Try telling him switching fonts among sections will look amateurish.

Question about sections
Thanks for that info. I know I can use that.
At least he no longer wants *everything* changed. I'm recreating a manual that was done back in the mid-90's. Although it was computer-generated, there's no electronic document available. He wants the new doc to look like the old doc down to the page breaks. I did that and I have 208 pages, all with manual page breaks. Now he's talking about changing fonts. When I did a blank change, it jumped up to 216 pages. He's backed off to just using Arial in the tables (about 50 pages). He's actually a good boss. He basically tells me what he needs and then leaves me alone to do it. I'm putting in a few OT hours this morning just to work on this font thing. If I could just get Word to stop automatically changing the entire document when I make a change, I'd be deliriously giddy. Until then, I'll be happy to just select a section. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message ...

Question about sections
I know that and you know that but I think it's so that if one person with an
old version telephones another with a new version, they won't have to deal with different page numbers. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message ...

Question about sections
Can't they both just consult the web version?

Question about sections
If they had access to the web that would be ideal but they are usually in
the vehicle with test equipment hooked up. The manual is the explanation of the various codes the tester produces. These guys are out there without computers. Tablet PCs would be idea tho. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message ...

Baby steps. :-)
I have a couple of simple styles but it was more important to get the text correct and on the same page numbers. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Suzanne S.
