Does anyone know where a download of "Harvey Balls" (balls with 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 shading)can be found. I have them as pictures, but the color cannot be changed and they are on a square background which cannot be changed.I have checked all items on the symbols menu and they are not there. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

- 1. Graphics in Word documents display as a white box
On the View tab of Tools | Options, make sure that "Picture placeholders" is *not* checked.

It may not be the entire answer, but check the following: 1. On the View tab of Tools | Options, be sure that "Drawings" is checked and "Picture placeholders" is *not* checked. 2. On the Print tab of Tools | Options, be sure that "Drawing objects" is checked.

A statement rather than a question, in view of users difficulties with the drawing canvas... I find the Drawing Canvas very useful and a big improvement to drawing compared to previous Word versions which didn't have it. By putting lines, boxes, etc on the drawing canvas, I find that they don't move around relative to one another if you add text into the document before the drawing canvas. Do the same without the drawing canvas, and all sorts of nasty things can happen, eg if you use snap to grid, if after doing some drawing you add some text before your drawing, you find that any new lines, etc, that you add to the same drawing snap to a different grid that is no longer aligned with the previous grid, so line end points no longer match up - very frustrating. I suppose that the mistake that MS made was to enable it by default. If they hadn't done that, people using previous verions of Word wouldn't object so. Having said that, if it wasn't on by default, users would not (eventually) get to appreciate the improvements that the drawing canvas brings. Does anyone else agree with me? - 4. Using MS Graph 2000 Chart object
Several of my figures are printing with the axes titles overlapping the numbers of the axes. No amount of moving the title away from the chart or re-sizing the chart within the inserted object makes a difference. How do I get the titles and axes numbers to stop overlapping? - 5. multiple objects
Hi Mandy, In Word 2003 the backgrounds can be set to print. In earlier versions one way that you can use to do a tiled background is this: 1. In Tools=>Options=>View turn on [x] Text Boundaries 2. In Tools=>Options=>General (Wd2002) turn off the Drawing Canvas feature 3. Using the zoom choice on the Standard toolbar use the 'Whole page' setting. 4. In View=>Header and Footer view use the rectangle autoshape on the Drawing toolbar and draw a rectangle to fit the dotted line 'text boundaries' on your page. 5. With the rectangle selected use the drop down arrow on the 'fill' icon (paint can) and select 'Fill effects' and choose the 'Textgure' tab. 6. Use the 'Other Texture' button to browse for the picture you want to use as a tile and click [Okay] ============ <<"mandy" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > wrote in message news:0e3c01c367fd$e4b57570$ XXXX@XXXXX.COM ... hi i would like to produce a page backgroung using one odject then tile, like a wrapping paper effect i can do this by copying and distributing and using background but then does not print is there a quick way>> -- I hope this helps you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends*

I should think these would be pretty easy to create using the drawing tools. Insert a circle AutoShape with No Fill and the desired line color. Then use the Arc AutoShape to drag a circular arc the same size and the desired angle; when you fill it with a color, it will fill the or that you drew. Align and group the two objects. Save as an AutoText entry. Suzanne S.

Hi G.,
To add to Suzanne's reply, here are a couple of
additional possibilities that may work for you.
You can download the set of Harvey Ball graphics
from this website as one option.
http://www.**--****.com/
You may also be able to use a dingbat font, such as
'Pie Charts' from http://www.**--****.com/
You can also use Insert=>Picture=>Chart and use
a pie chart with two values/two colors to create
the 'ball' fill that you want.

Does anyone know where a download of "Harvey Balls"

they are on a square background which cannot be changed.I
have checked all items on the symbols menu and they are
not there.
Thanks for any help anyone can give. >>

2.I am permanently getting the spinning ball......
Using Word for Mac 2008, almost everything I do results in the spinning ball, Word appears to freeze for two minutes or so, then the ball disappears and everything returns to normal. This happens when first saving any document for the first after opening the application, pasting text from Word into another program, opening the print dialogue...... It is most annoying. Does anyone have any idea whether this is an Office bug or a Mac bug??
3.Deleting picture in Word document gives non-stop beach ball
4.Word and excel constantly giving me 10 - 30 seconds spinning beach balls
Leopard 10.5.4, Word 12.1.2 (2008), 4 GB, fairly new machine 2.6GHz Intel. Just doing simple things like selecting menus, copy small amounts of text, going from one word document to another word document, I am constantly getting a spinning beach ball that lasts 10 - 30 seconds. This seems to happen in both Word and Excel. What gives? I tried Excel 2004 and did not have this problem at all with the same document.
I just upgraded to Word 2004 and have a strange problem: when I use the roller ball on my mighty mouse, the page frequently doesn't scroll properly and freezes momentarily. But it remembers so you can scroll, and then click, and it will catch up scroll for however much you scrolled while it was frozen. It is specific to Word and doesn't occur in Excel or any of the Mac programs. It didn't happen with Office X. My computer has plently of memory, speed etc, so I doubt it is that either. Any suggestions? Augustus
