Publisher's NotesThis past week I announced the release of WordTips: Printing and Printers, second edition. This new edition provides more information than ever about how to better use Word with your printer to get just the output you want. After all, Word is simply a tool that allows you to create all sorts of documents, many (if not most) of which are destined to be rendered as printed output. But many people don't give their printer a second thought, thinking that all they need to do is click "print" and they will get exactly the output they want. That's not always the case. WordTips: Printing and Printers can help you understand the ins and outs of getting the printed output you really need. The udpated e-book contains 230 pages of focused, detailed information that will be a great resource for maximizing how you work with Word to get your output. And, for a limited time, you can get a download of WordTips: Printing and Printers for half price. That means that for less than $10 you can get your own copy of this definitive reference. That's a great deal and one you don't want to pass up; it is only at this low price through November 18. If you haven't checked it out yet, do so right away. You can find full information here: http://store.tips.net/products/ebooks/wtpp.html Thanks for your continued support of WordTips. —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. Displaying Properties Dialog Box in a MacroWord keeps track of identifying and statistical information about a document and makes that information available in the Properties dialog box. If you want to display that information within a macro, then you may be at a loss as to how to do it. (Thanks to David French and Guy Goodwin for contributing to this tip.) Inserting a Document's LocationOnce you save a document on disk, it is stored in a particular folder (or location) on that disk. You may want that location to appear somewhere in your document. You can use the FileName field, discussed in this tip, to dynamically add that information. Become a Mail Merge WizardDo you want to become a mail merge magician? Discover everything from the basics to being able to complete all your documentation needs—it's all here! Experience the magic today! Centering a Paragraph with the KeyboardNeed a quick shortcut that you can use to center your paragraph between the margins? The answer is here. Repeating In a MacroMacros are often used to process information stored in documents. Usually the processing involves some sort of iterative action within the document, such as doing a search and every time the searched-for item is found, perform a task. Understanding how to perform this type of repeating can be very powerful. Need More WordTips?You are reading the free version of WordTips.

Unprotecting a Word 2003 Form in Word 2007I have a form created in Word 2003 and the form has been protected (not the document but only the form). After our company updated to Office 2007 it seems that I can not unprotect the form and edit it anymore. Is this normal? |
