  • 1. Automating a list of aronyms from an existing document
    I have a long document with extensive use of acronyms. I am required to generate an acronym list at the end of the document. Is there a way to automate that process (the acronyms will be all caps, obviously, if that helps)? Is there a way to ensure that each acronym is shown only once in the acronym list Thanks.
  • 2. repeat text?
    I have a paragraph in 9 pt. font, centered, with paragraph indents at 2" left, and 2" right. It's just the way I like it, and I would like to repeat it throughout the page, in preparation for printing. How do I repeat this small paragraph, maximizing area of the page Thanks, Klooluss.
  • 3. Pen Option???
    Is there a pen option, similar to the feature found in PowerPoint during a presentation This would be ideal for grading papers in Word without having to insert the comments feature/tag Thanks
  • 4. auto accent marks on "english" words
    Hi All I am currently running Office 2003 standard and when in Outlook or Word, I found that typing a word such as "resume" it would automatically add the accent ague over the letter "e" as in the French language. I did like that feature. Suddenly it is not working any longer and the only thing I believe that I have done is to use office update to patch Office 2003 Can anyone help me to turn that feature back on Thanks

Editing a Table Pasted from Excel into Word as a Picture (Enhanced Metafile)

Postby Brooks » Thu, 15 Feb 2007 03:45:59 GMT 

Hi:

I am copying a section of an Excel Spreadsheet, and then pasting into
word using Paste Special -> Picture (Enhanced Metafile)

When I right click on the object in word, one of the menu choices is
"Edit Picture" This will allow me to change text in the picture, which
seems to be included through the use of text boxes.  I make a minor
change that is required, but then I cannot seem to revert the image or
picture back to its previous form, which seems to be as a normal
picture file that has been inserted.  The only way I can figure out
how to do this is by using the undo command, but I loose my text
chance.  If the picture stays in the new, editable format, whenever I
click into it, all of the text is becomes highlighted, which really
slows down my ability to continue work on the rest of the document.
The new format seems to be seen by word as a Drawing Canvas.

Does anyone know how I can make a text change, and then get Word to
see the image as an inserted picture file again as opposed to this
drawing canvas?

Thanks,
Brooks

1.Pasting Excel Graphs (charts/enhanced metafile pictures) into Word 


I am looking for a similar solution posted by Donahue,

I have pasted excel charts and enhanced metafile pictures 
in a word document, sent this to a colleague who has Word 
2001 for the Mac, and she is unable to view these files.  
She sees a big (red?) X.

Size/memory is not an issue here.

Any help here?

2.Editing a Table Pasted from Excel into Word as a Picture (Enhanced 

If you need to edit the text in the table, I'd recommend pasting special as 
an Excel worksheet object, not as a picture.  It'll show as a metafile 
anyway, but when you need to edit you can edit in in Excel.

4.Excel 2007 line-chart pasted as an enhanced metafile - editing 

To tailor all our charts we past/special/metafile line charts into 
Powerpoint, then ungroup twice to be able to move/chop/change elements of the 
chart. When I ungroup the second time the line (representing data) actually 
breaks into a huge number of invidual lines (according to the underlying 
source data), as opposed to one single line. As a result, things are much 
more tedious/complicated. Any way to ungroup a chart in Powerpoint and have 
the line stay as a line, and not a ton of individual lines?

5.Pasting Excel cells as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)" 

Hello

I need to paste cells from Excel into Word  as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)" 
(I need to do this over 100 times).  Every time I do this, the resulting 
picture's top left corner ends up violating the top left margin of the Word 
document (even though my cursor was located at the top left corner of the 
page when I did the pasting).  I then have to both move and resize this 
picture.  Is there any way to either

a)  automatically resize the picture so it has the largest possible size 
without violating any of the page margins (and not being distorted)

OR

b)  if (a) above is not possible, at least move the picture so that its top 
left corner is at the top left corner (as defined by the margins set for the 
page) of the page?

Thank you for your help!
