Microsoft Word - weird indentation on odd pages

Microsoft Word - weird indentation on odd pages

weird indentation on odd pages

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 01:56 PM PST

The bullets and paragraph on my odd pages doesn't seem to respond to the indentations on the ruler correctly, it's like it's going the other way around. If I move the lower left indentation to the right then the paragraph responds as if I moved it to the left. I'm working with quite a lot of bullets and numbering so this is messing me up. Here's several snips to better explain what I'm experiencing

I tried making a new document and wrote random stuff but it worked just fine. btw I'm still using office 2007 and just installed several windows update, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance

title case capitalizing The

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 01:23 PM PST

I just typed something up, then realized I stupidly forgot to capitalize the words in the title.

Being lazy, I tried the "change case" from the tools menu and chose "title case".

However, it capitalized the first letter of every word, including a "the" in the middle of the title.

I thought Word 2003 was smarter than that. Was I remembering wrong, remembering a different version (Word 97, 2000, XP), thinking of ClarisWorks 4.0 or Open Office Writer, or is there a feature to make it do it the correct MLA way like I learned in elementary school 25-30 years ago?

If it is a preference or feature, how do I enable it? If I was thinking of a different word processor, could somebody remind me for my sanity's sake which one it was (ClarisWorks 3.0/4.0 on the mid to late '90s Macs or Open Office Writer)?

Unfortunately, my Mac is dead, so I can't test ClarisWorks, but I can try Open Office or LibreOffice.

New Office 2013 Install On Win 7. Nothing Is Working?

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 09:35 AM PST

So I just installed Office 2013 on Windows 7 Pro.  The install appeared to work fine (i.e. no error messages).

So I go to start up Word and get the document page,  so I select blank document.  It seems to come up but then I immediately I get:  Microsoft Word has stopped working.  I haven't tried every one of the Office 2013 programs but I get the same error trying Excel.

Ideas?

Thanks,


Ray

Multiple Table of Content links per row in a Word document

Posted: 25 Dec 2014 10:25 PM PST

Hello,

Is there any way to place multiple table of content (TOC) links in a single row?

For example, suppose you have a document in which the TOC displays links for Sections (Heading 1), Topics (Heading 2) and Chapters (Heading 3) as follows:


Section I
        1st Topic
                Chapter 1
                Chapter 2
                Chapter 3
                Chapter 4
        2nd Topic
                Chapter 1
                Chapter 2
…and so on.

Is it possible to change the TOC formatting so that the word "Chapter" is not repeatedly shown and the Heading 2 levels are each on a different row but the Heading 3 levels are on the same row?

Like this: 

Section I
        1st Topic 1 2 3 4
        2nd Topic 1 2
…and so on.

Thanks

How to change my username?

Hi,

I would like to change my username as displayed in tracking mode so that it would align with my desktop version of Word.  Can anyone tell me how to do so?
