Publisher's NotesThe Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching and will be celebrated in many countries this coming Thursday, November 26. I hope that you have a great holiday and that you are able to spend it with those who matter most in your life. —Allen TipsIf you have an idea for a tip, send it our way. Any tips contributed will be credited in the issue in which they appear. You can learn more about the tips in this week's issue of WordTips by clicking the links provided below. Keyboard Changes to Unwanted Foreign LanguageThere you are typing along, minding your own business, when wham! You end up in an entirely different language and you don't know how you got there. There are a few things you can check out and correct. (Thanks to Ron Solecki, Gea Voerman, Phil Rabichow, and Guylaine Constant for contributing to this tip.) Using Find and Replace to Change Text CaseCan you really use Find and Replace to change the case of text in your document? Not really, but that shouldn't stop you from relying on the tool to make the changes with this workaround. (Thanks to Kai Ewert, Phil Rabichow, and Carole Haley for contributing to this tip.) WordTips PremiumIf you already subscribe to WordTips, then you know exactly how vital a tool it can be. Why limit yourself? Expand your horizons with WordTips Premium. You get two times the information in each issue, with many other advantages as well. Keeping Tables on One PageNeed to make sure that your smaller tables stay on a single page? Here's a handy trick you can use to enforce this rule. Changing Sort OrderWhen sorting information, Word follows some pretty strict rules. If you want to modify how those rules are applied, you may be out of luck. Here's why. Need More WordTips?You are reading the free version of WordTips. There is another version you could be reading right now: WordTips Premium. This week WordTips Premium subscribers also learned about:

Plus, WordTips Premium subscribers get valuable money-saving benefits. For more information (including a sample issue), visit the Tips.Net store. Help WantedThis section is for those having problems making Word behave. If Word is giving you fits, feel free to submit your own Help Wanted question. If you have a solution for the problems below, send us your answer. (All responses become the sole property of Sharon Parq Associates, Inc., and can be used in any way deemed appropriate.) If your response is used in a future issue, you will be credited for your contribution to the answer. Merging Custom DictionariesI know how to back up any custom dictionaries that I create. Is there a way to merge custom dictionaries from two different computers? Adding Phrases to the Grammar CheckerIs it possible to add commonly used phrases to the grammar check so that they are not flagged as errors? Word flags them as either "wordy" or using too many nouns or verbs in a row, but my job requires documents with these phrases. The solution may be to turn off the grammar check, which I'd rather not do (even though Word is not exactly the arbiter of good grammar). |
