Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.


Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Posted: 20 May 2013 05:09 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

I am making my job card on word and I need to have two columns in the same table. I know how to make the table and the columns, the problem I have is that I need to have the first column on the left to have 3 rows and the second column on the right to have 5. Both columns should neatly fit into the same table so obviously the left hand column's 3 rows will be wider than the 5 rows in the right hand column. 

The problem I have is that word doesn't allow me to split the second column into 5 rows because it limits me to the three rows in the left hand column because word wants to align the rows. Is there a way to make the two neighboring column independent of each other so that I can split the left hand column into 3 equal width rows and the right hand column into 5 equal width rows?

I need it to look like this.

|                                                                     |-----------------------------------------------------|

this is a very rough example but you get the idea.

Linking to previous in a document which has continuous section breaks

Posted: 20 May 2013 04:18 AM PDT

I have a document with numerous section breaks, some start on the next page, but many are continuous section breaks.  I need to change the footer for the entire document, but when the documented was created initially the 'Link to previous' wasn't selected.  I don't want to have to go through each section and paste the new footer, so I am going through and selecting Link to Previous.  Unfortunately, where the previous section is a continuous section break, it is not linking back to the previous footer..... it asks if I want to delete existing footer and link to previous and I click 'Yes', but it instead puts in a very ancient footer that must be in someway linked to these continuous section breaks.  Is there anyway to have all sections linking so I only need to change the footer on the first page of the document?

find and replace reacts to replaced text with changes tracked

Posted: 19 May 2013 05:50 PM PDT

I have written a macro to find and replace a number of text strings in a document. When I have change tracking ON and ask it to replace "will aim to" with "will" and then "aim to" with "will", it finds the deleted "aim to" and replaces it again. I have also tried dropping the automated replacement of "will aim to", and just doing the replcement of "aim to", but that gives me "will "(original) , then the deleted text, then the new "will", and I can't do a global replace of "will will" because the deleted text is still seen by the find processor.

Tracking the changes is important as I am an editor and have to show my client all the changes I make.

Apart from making all my changes in the document without tracking them, and then doing a document compare, is there a way to get this macro to work?

pasting several rows and keeping track changes... is it possible?

Posted: 19 May 2013 03:09 PM PDT

I have a question - pasting cells and keeping track changes... is it possible? I want to paste a large amount of text, some of which has track changes in it, from one document to another. I know how to do this when text is not in cells (i.e. just make sure track changes is off in both documents) but when the text is contained in rows it's a no-go, all the changes are accepted when I paste no matter what I do. Can someone help?

 

There are many pages of this so I don't want to do each row individually, it will take forever!

 

If you have a solution I will project love and gratitude towards you telepathically

 

Thanks

Turn off Ctrl+click for users of a Word document?

Posted: 14 May 2013 12:09 PM PDT

I need to know how to make document navigation easier for others. I do know how to remove the need to use Ctrl+click for a hyperlink---however, that's merely an editing setting for me. I have many documents that are reference for other users and would like to allow users a one-mouse click to navigate to various hyperlinks or bookmarks in documents. Please don't tell me to have them change this setting in Word...this is really not an option. I know there must be a way because I've had Word documents from other sources that worked just fine without the need to use the Ctrl button. Thanks.

where is it

To solve a similar problem with my Works Suite 2001 Microsoft Works version
6.0 program, WindowsMe.

When the popup displays to insert CD, click to display details, noticed it
is
on the CD as "standard.sbs" file.

Copied the CD "standard.sbs" file to a folder on my hard drive.

The next time I received the popup to insert CD, I clicked to display
details, browsed to the new location of the "standard.sbs" file on my hard
drive, clicked OK.

The result is every time I now insert clipart it goes to the new location.
No more inserting CD.

Hope this helps,
Ken

Somehow I lost my clip art completely. Sooo I removed works 6.0 and
reinstalled it off the cd. Now when I go to use it I have to insert the
disk
into the computer to get clipart. (I can see/select the clip art I want
to
use but when I select it that's when I'm told to insert cd. This gets quite
old). How come the clip art didn't reinstalled with works, where is it and
how do I get it back?


Works default synchronization for my Palm

Posted: 18 Oct 2004 10:11 PM PDT

Sorry Kevin, most of your advice about Works is great, but this is like
telling someone to tear down their house and rebuild it because a picture is
hanging crooked. There's a much simpler solution...

Irishrutter, Right-click on the Hotsync icon in your taskbar. Select
"Custom..." in the menu that pops up. For each of the conduits "Works
Calendar" and "Works Address Book": click the "Change..." button, select the
"Do Nothing" radio button, and check the "Set As Default" checkbox, then
click the "OK" button.

This will stop it from syncing with Works, but it should still sync with
Palm Desktop.
