Friday, September 25, 2009 – Permalink – Format CleansingGo back to a simpler timeThere can come a time when a document becomes too complicated and the formatting appears more like mud. For most documents it's a good idea to use styles. These help standardize the formatting for the whole document. But what happens when the paragraph or word doesn't appear in the correct style? While a style is set for each paragraph, it can be overridden by separate formatting for all or part of the paragraph. When you paste in text from another document or web page, it will bring with it the formatting on the source page. Here's a quick shortcut that will remove all additional formatting from a selection and leave you with normal formatting. Ctrl+SPACEBAR Remove character formatting Ctrl+Q Remove paragraph formatting To clear up the whole document try: Ctrl+A Then one or both of the shortcuts. To just get back to Normal Style use: Ctrl+Shift+N See all Topics word Labels: Formatting, Shortcuts, Tips <Doug Klippert@ 3:42 AM

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 – Permalink – Insert Page NumbersDon't get framedIf you use Insert>Page Numbers to number your document, the character will be contained in a frame. This can, sometimes, make formatting the Header or Footer difficult. A more versatile solution is to use Insert>Field. Look for PAGE and NUMPAGES. See: Word.MVPS.org: How to control the page numbering in a Word document "Page X of Y" gives wrong numbers Texas A&M University: Placing the page number correctly on a landscape page There is, also, an excellent discussion about how Word handles numbering at the Microsoft Word MVP FAQ Site See all Topics word <Doug Klippert@ 3:44 AM

Saturday, September 12, 2009 – Permalink – Declaring Multiple VariablesDeclare each oneWhen setting up a macro in VBA, if you want to declare multiple variables in one line of code, be sure to specify the type for each variable, even if the variables are the same type. Avoid code like the following: Dim strFName, strLName, strMI As String In such a case, only the last variable, strMI, is actually declared as a String type. The first two variables are designated by default as Variant data types. To correctly declare the three variables, you would use the statement: Dim strFName As String, strLName As String, strMI As StringSee all Topics word Labels: VBA <Doug Klippert@ 3:56 AM

Friday, September 04, 2009 – Permalink – Place MarkerIf it's broke, fix itTo return to your last edit point, press Shift+F5. For instance, if you have copied and want to return to where you were in order to paste. Press Shift+F5 again to go to up to the last three edit points, or a fourth time to return to where you started. In Word 97 you could use this when you first open a document, to go straight back to where you last edited. There was a change with 2000+ that broke this. The \PrevSel1 bookmark is destroyed when the document is saved. The Word MVP site has a fix and some other interesting suggestions: GoBack (Shift+F5) doesn't work in some newly-opened documents Here are the bookmarks from ’97: Predifined bookmarks See all Topics word <Doug Klippert@ 3:49 AM
