How can I get Word to always open in the same-sized and -placed Window?GalaxyManJan 20, 2026Copper Contributor278Views0likes2CommentsThose 'annoying' page breaks
I use Word, as well as other programs, to put the final polish on my manuscripts. I am considering changing publishers, and one of the candidates wants me to use page breaks only on chapter ends. Is there any way that I can tell Word 365 (Win 11 Pro) to let me put the breaks in where I want them? This would also mean finding a way to suppress the automatic page breaks. Is this even possible, and if so, how do you do it? Regards JoJoanna-PhippsJan 18, 2026Copper Contributor42Views0likes2CommentsAdd custom table to Table Designs
Hi all, I need to add a custom table I designed to the Table Design menu (not the Quick Table menu), but I can't figure out how to get it in there without painstakingly modifying an existing table. Is there any way to do this?bagelplumapplebrandyJan 18, 2026Copper Contributor62Views0likes4CommentsMicrosoft Word "Save as PDF" - fonts not rendering
Hi all, I have a Word document which uses the Readex Pro family of fonts: https://github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro I have all fonts installed locally and when I view it in Word, it appears as rendered: the main font used is Readex Pro Deca Light, while headings used Readex Pro Deca SemiBold. However, when I use "Save a Copy > PDF" in Word, everything is rendered as Readex Pro Deca Light. (That happens with the "Bitmap text..." in the options either on or off. If I use Print > Print to PDF, the headings are rendered in the right font. But of course I don't get features that way such as a left-hand navigation pane of headings in the resulting PDF. Does anyone know why Microsoft Word's "Save a Copy > PDF" seems not to use font families correctly? Is there a workaround here?PaulMoloneyJan 18, 2026Copper Contributor2.4KViews2likes4CommentsWord Document - Projector screen and Monitor Screen
Hi, I am not sure if I can get any best recommendation here. We have a document (usually converted into PDF) that the management used during meetings. The presenter will show it on the big screen via projector in front of a big audience as well as on his wide in a small audience. In the past, the document is using paper size A4. I am not familiar with such projector and screen settings but according to the presenter, the screen (both projecter screen and on his wide screen), the visual does not fill up all the screen space. The new presenter does not like it this way. He wants us to find a solution to get the document "Stretch" or "Fill" up the entire screen (whether projector screen or any wide screen he uses). A stupid idea is to use a custom paper size 16 inches by 9 inches in Word for it....but even that it does not ensure all projector screens and all monitor screens will fit. Therefore this is not a dynamic solution, plus it will messes up all the formatting (example columnal layout width and table width etc) copied from the old A4 file. Does anyone know a good solution for the above request?JennyT2070Jan 15, 2026Brass Contributor31Views0likes4CommentsHow to separate non-indented number points from indented number points?
I'll explain. I have a document that's about fifty pages in length, with about 500 numbered points in total. The list randomly is dispersed going down, with some numbered points having no indentation while some have it (text down and to the right, down to the right and so on). It looks like this: Example 1 (Actual Layout): This Is An Example How The Document Is Listed Trying to sift through it all and sort the list manually is proving to be too time consuming. Trying to sort the lists alphabetically left all the indented text out of order with no way to figure out what numbered point it belonged to what. It looked something like this: Example 2 (Alphabetized Layout): An Document Example How Is Is Listed Of The This Is there any way to have it so word can separate Example 1's points, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and points 2 and 3 away from each other, creating two separate lists with all the indented numbered points all corresponding to the correct main indented point? Like this: Example Three (Desired Layout): This Is The Document Is Listed Is An Example How Thanks. Sorry for the length.KyleMcBride1Jan 12, 2026Copper Contributor50Views1like2CommentsTemplate for Novices
Hi All We have mechanics out in the field an they are to write weekly report. but they struggle to ad in pictures and when they do it, the picture quality become poor. so is there a way to make a template where placeholders for picture and text are fixed? ie 4 by 4 for pictures and how do we keep the picture quality Br RuneRunejorsJan 11, 2026Copper Contributor71Views0likes2CommentsKeep table rows together
I’ve noticed since upgrading to Windows 11 that when I go to set all table rows bar the last row to keep with next so that a table won't split onto the next page, I’m seeing all options in Pagination and Formatting exceptions selected on the Line and Page Breaks tab whereas before it was usually either just the first or the first three Pagination options selected. Clearing the other options doesn’t last very long – they all revert to being selected. The last row is behaving – it continues to show just the Widow/Orphan control option selected. Anyway the table won’t keep together when I bring it down to the next page.Dollo_248Jan 04, 2026Copper Contributor67Views0likes3CommentsScrolling in draft mode does not work
