First of all I would like to thank all of the MVPs for the work that you have
given to helping users learn formatting. I am a 72 year old women who has
been using a computer for years but gave up trying to use Word until my son
got me Microsoft Suite 2006 which has where the newsgroup was given as one of
the Help sources.
I have really been working hard at Shauna's tutorials and have printed out
just about everything that all of you have written. At this point in time I
am still working on Shauna's tutorials. When she said that her mother was
writing a letter in Excel. I thought "at last someone who understands." Ok
now enough of the chat.
My hobbies came to the point that I just had to start indexing my hundreds
of articles, tutorials. After I read the MVP articles I knew I was going to
have to learn how to format, I was wasting so much time looking through my
binders, books, and magazines. I have just about finished Shauna's tutorials
for the third time and actually starting to understand. I realize that I am
going to have to overlearn to be comfortable but I just love doing it. It's
like magic.
1. I have several binders full of the articles written by the MVPs. I
realized that this would be a good starting point to format an index for each
of the binders I have with your articles. I have turned out some pretty good
looking indices (in my eyes)<g>
In Basic Concept 4 Shauna says in the paragraph" How to remove the
border"that the gridlines won't show when printed out. I have taken all of
the steps she gives but the gridlines still print out. I just can't get rid
of those gridlines. This isn't a big problem, but I would like to understand
why the gridlines print out.
2. When the Modify Style Dialogue box comes up asking "Do you want to update
the Style to relect changes"? or "Reapply the formatting of the style to the
section" and lastly "Automatically update the Style from now on". I'm just
not sure what I should do. I have just cancelled it because I don't want to
mess up.
3. I Save as I go along, sometimes when I go to the Folder to
work on the formatting tutorials I notice that some of the files have the
following: ~$W to use the Reviewing Toolbar in Microsoft Toolbar in MSWord
2002. Why does it have ~$W. I opened the file but it was just gobblygook.
4. I used one of Shauna's articles and clicked on "Styles and Formatting"
just to see how she formatted the article. What I want is to number the
article say as 1. then for the other articles belonging to the main article
have it showing as 1.2, 1.3, 1.4
and then for the second article in the index or list 2., 2.2, 2.3. is that
clear enough?
It would be so easy for me to find what I am looking for. Thankyou all for
your help deejay
