MS Office Word 2007 - Changing Font Default (Type and Size)

Re Changing Default Font and Font Size MS Vista/ MS Office Word 2007 Suzann Barnhill's recent exchanges with Ingrid were very helpful as I have been struggling with the same problem for some time. In spite of numerous attempts, however, I have been unsuccessful in making the changes...and just cannot figure out why. It seems that by using Suzann's recommended procedure I can change the default for the font size, however, when I reopen a blank Word document it always defaults to the MS "Calibri" font. Is it possible that when the computer was first set up a box was checked

Restarting Numbering when using Include Text Fields in a Pseudo-Master Document

We are using Word 2003. I have a pseudo master document that I set up using Include Text fields. I am not using the master document feature at all. Each of the "subdocuments" has numbering in it (scrupulously following Shawna Kelley's guidelines). Of course, when I look at each of these documents, the numbering starts at A, B, C... When I update the fields in the main document, the numbering is continuous and does not restart for each subdocument. Is there a way to indicate that the numbering should restart at the beginning of each subdocument, either by doing something

Bookmarks

Hi, I am trying to use bookmarks to return to places in a document. I can go from A to B and back to A. I can go from C to B, but then I end up back to A. I have given the location B two bookmark names and Word seems to recognize them as C will go to B and A will still go to B. BUT when C goes to B, B retains the A link. When I try to switch it, the change overrides and then I can go A to B to C or C to B to C. Why does it only recognize the second bookmark one way? And can it ever see them both so the return will work for both A and C? Thanks.

Add vertical lines on mirrored margins in word 2007

I am creating a user manual. I have set mirrored margins 1 1/2" from the edge with a small gutter margin. I set the margins as big as I did to allow an area to put text boxes with special tips or for just an area for people to write notes. I would like to have a vertical line separating the text from the blank margin area. If I draw a vertical line and anchor it, the line moves when edits or additional items are added to the text. Is there a way to insert a vertical line that will not move when the text is edited or section/page breaks are added? Please Help! THANK YOU!!!

Repeated values in form fields.

Opening files in Word

Up until about one week ago when I opened a Word file it would open in a new Window that was independent of any other Word files that were open -- I could therefore have two documents open on two different screens (I uses a two monitor configuration) at the same time. Now when I open a second word document it opens in the same window and if I minimize it it minimizes to a tab in the open window on the bottom left. How do I get back to the point where I can open a second document in what is in effect a separate window (active program)? Any takers? Thanks

Setting "x of y" number of pages in Word documents

I am trying to set page numbers in the footer of a Word document, using the "x of Y" format. The problem is that I don't want to count the first page.

The result is that the final page in the doc reads "Page 15 of 16", when I want it to read "Page 15 of 15". Any suggestions?

Track Changes in 2007 deleting large portions of text

Landscape & Portrait Layouts on 1 Bookfold

To the fantastic person who can help: I have a mailer layout to be printed; 4 pages to 1 double sided 11x17 page. The first three pages are landscape, with their respective section breaks. The fourth page is a portrait layout. The landscape pages print their 8.5x11 so the 11" is along the 11" for the 11x17. But the portrait, prints the 8.5" along the 11". As confusing as this sounds, it is visual self-explained. I have tried printing 2 to 1 page in both Landscape & Portrait via print properties.
