Group objects
Hi, I am a longtime user of Word. I have just transferred to a new and stronger laptop; however, when trying to group more than 5 items Word stops responding and sometimes crashes. I disabled all add-ons, hoping it would help. Any ideas? I usually insert the figure in a table and just group the callouts and text boxes with arrows.
Section Headers and Footers - 'Same as previous..'
Hi All Just seeing if anyone has a workaround for section headers and footers issue i'm having.... I have a document that multiple sections, each section has a 'Different First Page Header/Footer' as there are different header images for each section. The footer is pretty standard across the document - page numbers and specific document info... My document has..... (for example) Section 1: First Page Header/Footer (page 1) Section 1: (pages, 2, 3, 4, 5) Section 2: First Page Header/Footer (page 6) Section 2: (pages 7, 8, 9,10) and so on.... If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2 First Page' footer (page 6) it takes the footer text from 'Section 1 First Page', rather than Section 1: Page 5 If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2: Page 7' footer, it takes text from Section 1: Page 2, rather than Section 2: First Page: page 6 Is there any way of just making the footer continuous across the whole document? without changing the header which is different for each section.?? At the moment i'm having to edit each footer for each section which can be tiresome at best. Anyway, hope that makes sence Thanks for your help in advance. J

S Pen on tablet writing as an image
Hi there, I need some help with my S Pen on my Samsung Tablet. Whenever I try to write something on Word, it will automatically turn my text into a drawing/image. Is there anyway I can write stuff without that drawing box around my text? I've seen some online comments saying to press esc and open "options" on the app menu, but that option is not available on tablets, only on PCs. Thank you so much, CamilaDrop down menu linked to an Excel file
Hi! I would like to populate Word drop down menu to data stored in Excel spreadsheets. I found a post (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5448059/drop-down-menu-linked-to-a-file) in https://learn.microsoft.com showing how to get it done, but I'm new to VBA and need a more detailed explanation. The last line in that post reads, "For a step-by-step guide, you can check out this tutorial on linking Excel drop-down lists to Word.", but no link to that step-by-step guide is provided. Please, do you know where that guide, or any other helpful manual, is available? Thanks!
Table Properties for table inserted into Word document
Where can I find the default settings for Table in Word? Currently when I insert a table, I might find the row not wide enough. And often, it was because of the row height being set as "exactly" and I have to set it as "at least". Where can I set the default as "at least" so that it does not always use "exactly"?
Word mac issue
Hello, I want some help. I have a user who has a Mac Word file she needs to recover. She is stating that the file is hidden; she worked on the file, and then her computer restarted and lost the document. I told her to check the recycle bin to see if its in there. She said she created the file, modifying it from a previous file, and now it won't let her open the file. She then said this I found the missing text. The hidden document is visible in a shadow-like form. When she went to rename the document, there was no dot at the beginning of the file name. The renaming process did not result in the document being made visible? Can I get some help please?
Word on iPhone
In the past, I’ve managed to edit some documents on my iPhone in Microsoft Word. But now Microsoft is slapping me in the face with grammatical suggestions that obscure my document. I don’t want any grammatical suggestions, but I can’t figure out how to make them stop. Can anybody suggest how I can do that? Am I in the right place to ask this question? Is there another place for the iPhone app?
