hi i have a problem

[Anthonis]

there is something wrong with my options

 

[Tony Jollans]

there is something wrong with my crystal ball and I can't see what is wrong
with your options.

At a guess, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ToolsOptionsWonky.htm or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm

 

[Tony Jollans]

Well, I've never heard of that one before!

Appropriately perhaps, the link on that page is broken - it tries to go to
MissngMenus instead of Miss*i*ng Menus.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Well, that first page has been rather deprecated (since the solution is the
same as that offered at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm), and the Missing
Menus page for a long time actually was
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm, but
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm would find it as
well. Then the error in the URL was corrected, and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm stopped working. The
site is currently undergoing a complete redesign, so I suspect these link
errors will be found and corrected.

 

[Tony Jollans]

Thanks, I think! That was hard to read!

Yes, I just saw the redesign; it looks good - clean and fresh, and using the
whole of the screen (one of my pet hates is web pages that leave half my
screen blank by deliberate choice of the designer).

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I knew it would be rather confusing, but I'm glad you made sense of it. The
Webmasters are currently trying to straighten out some glitches in the
design before propagating it to all the pages. The advantage of the old
design was that it was inherently page width and consequently printed out
nicely. The new design will (a) print extra pages for short articles and (b)
cut off some graphics. Also, it has been discovered that if you change the
text size to anything other than Medium, the whole thing falls apart. <sigh>

 

[Tony Jollans]

I guess this is really a bit OT but I hadn't registered that - I've never
printed a page from the site.

I'm not any kind of web expert but can't you have different style sheets
just for printing (media=print or something of the sort)?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Actually yes, as it turns out, and it seems that if you have a CSS
stylesheet for printing, it's automatically used when anyone prints the
page, so it would be completely transparent to the user. I suspect this is
the way to go, but it will be extra work for the people who have figured out
how to use CSS (of whom I am not one).
