How do I add text to a shape?

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 08:17 AM PST

In Word 2007, I could just type into a shape.  Now I have Word 2010 and I cannot do that.  How do I add text to a shape?  I tried adding a text box and typing text in that, and then moving it to the shape, but there must be another way.  Can someone help me?

Is there a special way in Word to use the Alt + 'x' technique to apply a combining mark to a character that is also a hexadecimal digit ?

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 04:59 AM PST

Let's say I want to apply the COMBINING DIACRITICAL MARK U+0300 to the character g in Word. A simple technique is to type g followed by 0300 followed by Alt + 'x', and I get g̀. However if I apply the same mark (U+0300) to the letter a, using the same Alt + 'x' technique, Word will print the .notdef character ꌀ, as a is interpreted as an hexadecimal number and Word will consider the character a0300 an invalid Unicode character. I wonder if there is any trick in Word to use the Alt + 'x' technique in those cases, i.e.. where the base character is an hexadecimal digit ?


Flip text

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 04:27 AM PST

There is really nothing new here, but I was reviewing some of the previous posts on this topic and thought it might be helpful to summarize the various methods in a graphic tutorial:  http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/rotate_text.html

The basic takeaways are:
1.  While you can rotate text in Word 2003 and earlier (earlier within reason), you can't produce true mirrored (flipped) text.

2.  The methods used to created mirrored (flipped vertical or flipped horizontal) text in Word2007 and Word2010 are different.

3.  The ability to produce text rotation effects is greatly expanded with the new graphics engine in Word 2010.

 

If any users see something that I missed or just flat out got wrong, please let me know.

 

 

 

Copy and Paste problem

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 04:05 AM PST

When I 'copy' text from a source, then open Word 2010 and seek to 'paste' the text, the popup menu has 'Paste Options' greyed out and unusable. The same with OneNote.  This is an irritant.  How do I effect 'paste' when an MS app is opened after 'copy'?

forced quotation marks error

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 02:15 PM PST

No matter what font I use (and this has been happening for over a year now), my MS Word forces the single and double quotation mark to become the ending one when it's supposed to be the beginning one.

My uncle said, ‚I'm tired!'

Our uncle said, „I'm very tired!"

Can anyone help?

word 2007 footnotes affects text wrapping when print

Posted: 06 Nov 2012 08:14 PM PST

The symptom:
In writing in Chinese,  2 footnotes have been added in one line, it is fine showing in the display, but when it is printed from printer, the same character appears again in the beginning in the next line.

The Chinese text font is in DFKai-SB and the number font is in Times New Roman. There are no spaces in between all Chinese characters in a same paragraph.

I'm not sure the problem is on Word or from the printer ? Please help.

Trouble opening a saved file w/ Word 2010 Starter

Posted: 03 Nov 2012 02:13 PM PDT

I am getting an error message stating "File cannot be opened because there are problems with the content".   When I click on Details, there is "no error detail available".  I realize this may be due to my very boring 2012 Holiday Letter content, but after writing and editing the darn thing, I really would like to make copies and print this!  Does anyone know why I am getting this error after having no trouble editing it recently?  I have tried opening it various right click options and get the same message, etc.   Thank you!
