Spelling correction not working in MS word?

stum...@discussions.microsoft.com (Stumped) — Thu, 18 mrt 2010 16:13:02 UT

I've tried safe mode and made sure that language is set correctly. It seems
that my dictionary has been deleted. Don't know that for a fact. I've even
removed MS Office and reloaded. Nothing! Thank you in advance for your help.

For many years I didn't have access to the numeric keypad (had a mouse
platform covering it), and I would still find it very much more trouble to
use than my custom shortcuts, which are now so ingrained as to be as easy as
typing, say Shift+- to get an underline (actually easier since I always have

Click the New Document button to get a sheet of labels. They're formatted as
a table, so be sure you have table gridlines displayed (Table | Show
Gridlines) so you can see the label boundaries.

I would like to print a full sheet of file folder labels but I want each
label to be different. Can this be done?

The built-ins for en- and em-dash are Ctrl(-Alt)-minus [on the
keypad], so you don't need a custom one. (Lifting from the keyboard at

But if anything having to do with typing Chinese is enabled on your
computer, Ctrl-Spacebar sends Windows into Chinese-typing mode (or
font), so you should generally use Ctrl-Shift-Z for clearing manual
formatting.

If it's really random, could possibly have flipped into a "novelty"
font that mixes up the letters?

Hi Varvara,
Place the cursor anywhere in the section where the header appears only on
the first page. Open the Page Setup dialog box, and on the Layout tab, clear
the "Different first page" checkbox.
If you need instructions for opening the Page Setup dialog box, write back
with the version of Word that you are using.

You can link to a text box on the next page.

Copy the graphic into the headers of those pages.
There are three headers associated with each section
Primary, First Page and Even Pages. It seems that you have content only in
the first page header.

In Word 2007, I have several instances of text formatted with small caps. I
should be able to click inside one of the formatted words and from the Select
menu, Select Text with Similar Formatting. However, that option is greyed
out / disabled.
Does anyone know why and what the fix is? Thank you!

Is there a way to spill text in a text box to the next page?

Section header on subsequent pages of section

g...@discussions.microsoft.com (guat) — Thu, 18 mrt 2010 14:35:01 UT

Hi! I am writing a technical guide that is about 100 pages. Each section has
a nice section header with a black line at the top of the page. I would like
this section header to be at the top of each page of the section. Right now
this section header does not appear on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. page of the
