Word 2008 Drawing toolbar
It seems to me that the drawing facilities are much less powerful than with the last version of MS Word for Mac. When drawing a line all I can get is a thick blue line. In fact everything is blue. What am I missing please. Thanks, BrianKR

There's no question that the new capabilities are 'different' -- whether you choose to categorize them as 'better' or 'worse' is a matter of personal interpretation :-) The new tools are based on a completely redesigned graphics engine & the current version of Mac Office offers a somewhat limited implementation of the first generation of that new engine. The next release will most likely provide significantly enhanced capabilities. In the meanwhile, what's mucking up the works is that MS Marketing has convinced Development that users want thick blue lines with shadows as well as shapes filled with that same color & effect. Ergo, that's what is set as the default formatting for the Shapes & defined by what is called an Office Theme. One option is to select a different Document Theme, and you can also create Custom Themes. See Word Help on the topic: Create a custom theme However, there's nothing about the formatting that can't be changed directly once the shape has been created. Use the tools of the Formatting Palette in the Toolbox or double-click the shape to produce the Format AutoShape dialog in order to produce the effect you prefer. After you format a shape in any given document you can Control/Right-Click it & select Set AutoShape Defaults. Any new shapes you create in the document from then on will be formatted in the manner of the one you use as the 'model'. Additionally, you can open the Normal.dotm template, create & format any shape you choose in the manner you prefer & set it as the default in that same way. Save, delete the shape, then close & save the template. [The only thing you can't permanently remove is the damned shadow in Normal.dotm -- it always comes back.] In any new documents you then create, your specs will be used as the defaults. Once you explore the capabilities you may find them more to your liking...

You can't get rid of the shadow, but you can make it unnoticeable by setting distance=0, blur=0, and transparency=100%. You will not see the shadow and it will permanently save in normal.dotm. Also if you choose .74 or .76 instead of .75 for your line thickness, it will permanently save in normal.dotm too.

Thanks for the insights. Now that I think about it, your suggestions certainly make sense, but I confess I'd never pursued it that far because I seldom use those tools in the first place :-) I'm afraid I subscribe to the school of thought that suggests that you shouldn't have to completely redesign/redefine the tools in order to get basic functionality. I'm sure this additional info will be useful to many who look here for answers... Thanks for sharing!

Money 2008 Investment Cash Transaction
I just noticed when converting M4 to M8 that I have investment cash transactions going all the way back to 1997.

Numbering of captions in Word 2003
I'm preparing an important manual for the Navy. I have a few tables in Chapter 2. The first couple, numbered automatically by Word, have captions Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

Function to seacrh for a word across multiple columns
Hi, I have four columns of data (C-F) I need to search for a particular word. The data is addresses, i.e. it combines text and numbers and the word I'm searching for can appear anywhere within it (or not at all). The function I require will return 1 if it does and 0 if it does not. Have tried various iterations of if\search\match and so on to no avail - perhaps because I'm searching a range of columns rather than a specific cell? I'd appreciate your suggestions. Regards, Maybe something like this... =COUNT(MATCH("*word*",C1:F1,0)) -- Biff Microsof...
Printing Word 2003 document in Windows 7 environment
I have upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (from XP) but retained Office Professional 2003 SP3. I have a Brother DCP-540CN printer and have re-installed an "upgraded" driver from the Brother website which is now "compatible" with Windows 7. When I did a printer test, it printed ok. However, when I try to print a document from Word 2003, it printed only one-third of a page, then half a page. Can anyone explain why this is happening? In a thread elsewhere, it was stated that Word 2003 is compatible with Windows 7 but this doesn't appear...

How do you swap pages in Word?
Is there a way to swap pages and all associated content in Word? For instance, let's say I decide to change the order of some of my content, and I want to swap pages 12, 13,14 with 31, 32, 33....is this possible without cutting and pasting? If they have distinctive Headings above them, you can go to Outline View, collapse them to only that level of outline, and drag the heading to where you want it to be. Word doesn't really have "pages," so the simplest way to do it is to insert Section Breaks before and after the part you want to move, and cut & paste t...
Pasting from another Word 2007 document has changed the line spaci
Hello, I am editing a huge document in Word 2007. The "Normal" style I am using is as follows; Font: Calibri (Body), 12 Paragraph: spacing 0 pt before, 10 pt after; line spacing1.5 I copied and pasted about 10 pages from another Word 2007 document but probably did something wrong when pasting and the paragraph settings of the "Normal" style in the big document turned into 0pt before 0 pt after spacing and single line spacing. That was probably the settings of the document I copied from. Now, when I modify the "Normal" style and change the sett...

Switching desktops causes all toolbars and menu's to vanish.
Running XP Pro and Powertoys Virtual Desktop Manager, Office 2003. Whenever I switch desktops with Excel open, *all* Excel toolbars and the menu bar simply vanish - I'm left with the XP Window border, and the formula bar, immediately below the window top bar. The spreadsheet itself works, along with keyboard shortcuts to open save etc. Help is broken - ie F1 does not bring up help. Word is fine, but Access also breaks in the same way - all menus and toolbars vanish. Anyone any ideas? regards Matt Matt Difficult to tell as PowerToys is totally unsupported and a bit of light re...
