Fields and Switches
Where can I find a complete list/definitions of the fields and switches for
Word 2007? I was unable to solve the problem of making page numbers in the TOC roman. The page numbering was "stuck" in arabic mode. Then I tried changing Arabic to Roman (in the curly braces) and it worked in capital letters. On a whim, changed to roman and small number letters! Got me wondering how many other problems or function is available. |

Fields and Switches
You can use Format Page Number in Word 2007 just the same as in any previous
version (Insert | Header & Footer | Page Numbers | Format Page Numbers). You do not need to apply switches manually (and in fact, this can backfire). But for a field reference, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...047231033.aspx -- Suzanne S.

Got me wondering how many other problems or function is available. Unforgivably, Microsoft has included Word 2007 help topics only for fields that are new or changed since Word 2003, and the online help search seems incapable of finding the Word 2003 help topics for fields that haven't changed. Fortunately, those topics are all on the Microsoft site and have been indexed by Google; you can get the whole list by going to http://www.google.com and searching for "field codes" plus the name of the field (for example, "table of contents") and adding the qualifier siteffice.microsoft.com to the end. In this case, the switch is applicable to any field that displays numbers, so the topic you want is "Format (\*) field switch", http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HP051862221033. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
