  • 2. Inserting small numbers
    Type the number and following text, select the number and press Ctrl+Plus Sign (Ctrl+Shift+=) or Format | Font | Superscript. You can also press Ctrl++ before typing the number and again afterward (which toggles Superscript off).

  • 3. inserting a non automatic page inside a document
    I asked this on another section and realize it should be here. I was wondering if any one new a way to insert a page number in a document that's not in the header it needs to be put in a different spot. It also needs to be non autoupdating. It would be perfect if there was some type of look up command(like in excel). Basically i am trying to program a macro that will go through a very long document and insert the page numbers only once, without having to phsically type it into each page. I tried to use cross-reference with no luck. Am i crazy or is this possible? Please Help. Thank You
  • 4. List of figures Text alignment
    (NOTE: X-POST - This problem has been posted in german language in microsoft.public.de.word as well, no success so far) Hello Everyone, using Word 2000 I experience this problem with the automated table of figures Figure 1.1: Used Cars Figure 1.11: New Cars Figure 10.5: Old and new cars at a used car store which are offered at unreasonable price but are hard to find elsewhere Figure 10.123: Old Convertibles But I would like to have it look like this: Figure 1.1: Used Cars Figure 1.11: New Cars Figure 10.5: Old and new cars at a used car store which are offered at unreasonable price but are hard to find elsewhere Figure 10.123: Old Convertibles Note: The captions are formatted to be centered underneath the figures. This is a formatting requirement I cannot disregard. Have tried lots of stuff on the styles, but everything I tried did not work. The problem is that when the figure numbering is bumped up by one digit the alignment will not work any longer. The only solution I was suggested was to manually edit the list of figures before final printout. Would work, though, but I am looking for something more smooth, i.e. something fully automated. I can not imagine I am the only person with this problem.... Any input on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and your help. :-) Regards, Martin
  • 5. Fractions into fraction symbols
    When I go to autoformat as you type, and select the option to convert fractions into fraction symbols, Word 2002 will only convert certain fractions such as 1/4, 3/4. It will not convert 2/3 into the fraction symbol. In looking through other support texts I tried some things for Windows 97, but it does not work in 2002. I also had a hint that it could be a font issue, that they will only display certain fraction symbols, but when I look at my font files, none of them have fraction symbols, suggesting the problem is with Word. Can anyone help?

Tab inserts tab instead of changing outline level

Postby londonmandy » Fri, 05 Mar 2004 04:07:06 GMT

In outline numbered mode when I am at the start of a line and hit th
tab key I get a tab character inserted instead of moving to the nex
outline level.

The only support docs I can find are about having to hit shift-tab i
you WANT a tab character inserted.  Moving to the next outline leve
seems like it's supposed to be the default but it's not working.  I
used to work but I can't recall having changed any settings that woul
have caused it to stop working.

I'm using Word 2002.  Any help much appreciated.

On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the Tools > AutoCorrect
dialog box, make sure that "Set
first and left indent with tabs and backspaces" is selected.

Thanks very much.  The curious thing is that I have no recollection of having 
changed this.  But this is just what I needed.

2.Tab and Shift-tab doesn't change outline level, it just tabs over

I thought that if you are doing an outline with automatic numbering, the 
effect of pressing tab would be to increase the level and pressing shift-tab 
would decrease the level.  But when I press the tab or shift-tab, all that 
happens is that it inserts a tab character, which I thought was supposed to 
happen only when one presses ctrl-tab.  Is there some setting that has gone 
awry/

3.Tab and Shift Tab no longer work to move bullet and outline levels

I used to push tab and shift tab to make the bullet levels move, but now it's 
not working.  I push tab and it just inserts a tab and doesn't move me to the 
next level.  Is there any way to fix this?

4.Word 2003: Tab or Ctl + Tab no longer change list levels

Hello all,

     Looks like Word has stopped using a press of the tab key to change the 
indent level in a list. When I hit tab, the cursor simply jumps a tab space 
over with the list level remaining right where it was. Any suggestions on why 
it's doing this and how to put it back to normal?

Many thanks

The TAB key and SHIFT+TAB won't change the list level in Word 2007. Instead, 
both commands will just indent with a normal TAB. How can I fix this?
