    I am using Word 2002. I have several brochures I have created and printed before. Now when printing manual duplex (prints all pages otherwise), only page 7 prints. I have checked my settings and cannot determine why this is happening.

    Have a user that when they print or make a change to a document the font all piles on top of eachother on the left side of the document. Is this a print driver issue or word issue ? Or something else.
  • 4. Documents takes ages to load?
    Hello, I have come across the problem that certain documents takes up to a minute to load (or effectively the word application hangs for a long time before showing the documents) This does only happen with certain documents and I have tried installations of both Office 2003 Professional and Small Business Edition with the same result. At some computers they still work like a dream so they cannot be corrupted but takes a long time to load at most Office installations? What could possibly be wrong? Is it a configuration issue?
  • 5. screentips in rulers
    For some reason, no screentips are showing up in my ruler. They show up fine for toolbar buttons etc. but nothing happens with the margins, the indentation sliders etc. Screentips are turned on in both the Options dialogue box and the Customize dialogue box. THANKS!

Format > Tabs - or better still associate the required tab settings with the 
paragraph style. Tabs should be used with restraint. Make use also of 
indents.

When you press Tab, is the paragraph being indented? If so, you need to 
disable this feature as follows:

Word 2007: Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options | 
AutoFormat As You Type: "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and 
backspaces."

Word 2002 and 2003: Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type: 
"Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces."

Word 2000 and earlier: Tools | Options | Edit: "Tabs and backspace set left 
indent."

1.Tab inserts tab instead of changing outline level

2.A Space inserted before a Tab in clipboard...

I am encountering a strange problem using text files in Word.

If I select a Tab character some text and copy it to the clipboard, when I 
paste the clipboard an extra space has been added to the text.

I could not see an option for this in the AutoFormat.

Anyone help ?

BTW: I have also noticed that the Office Clipboard isn't thread safe, it is 
possible to copy something else whilst it is still copying the previous item. 
The symptoms of this are either the item appearing in the list but actually 
not available to paste using CTRL+V or alternatively the message "Cannot open 
clipboard". But I got those in Excel - I'm just too impatient!




3.Change Indents, Spacing and tab stop permanently on my computer

Please help, it takes time setting the Indents and spacing (and tab stops) 
repeatedly while working in a document.  
It is set automatically on 1.32 Indent which is too much.  I prefer 1.25
The indent and tab stops also does not align unless setting it repeatedly.

4.Changing default tab spacing in Word

Hello,

I've noticed that the default tabs setting in Word is 0.5 in, which I almost 
always have to change to 0.25 because I prefer it smaller.  Is there any way 
to permanently change this default so I don't have to do it in every document 
individually?

Thanks!
Jen

5.Modifying footer tabs creates unwanted line spacing changes

Using Word 2007 with customized page layout and paragraph, number, and bullet 
styles set to single line spacing with 6 points after. On occasion, I need to 
add or move a tab position in a header and/or footer. After moving the tab, 
ALL of the text in the body of the document will revert to the Word 2007 
(default) expanded line spacing. This includes all heading styles, normal, 
body text, list number, list bullet, etc. This is especially an issue if I 
use the "Tabs" button from the "Paragraph" dialog box. Has anyone else 
experience this, and is there some way to prevent the line spacing from 
reverting to default settings?
