Those '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 Jo
Microsoft 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?Word 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?
How 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.Template 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 RuneKeep 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.
Scrolling in draft mode does not work
Just subscribed Office 365 and downloaded the latest version of Word. When I'm working in draft view, scrolling with a touchpad does not work. -scrolling is much faster/sensitive, than normal -scrolls randomly in the wrong direction Does anyone know something about this issue? Is there a solution out there?Word Web Version Text disappears after closing
I wrote text in a document, and it appeared to save successfully (indicated by the "Saved" icon). However, after closing the tab and reopening the document, the text had disappeared. In its place are blank spaces that preserve the exact formatting of the original text—for example, if the original text had a paragraph structure, the blank spaces repeat the same pattern. The text is no longer accessible. I've attempted to: Copy the disappeared text to another document or notepad Select it Change the text color However, no text appears in any of these actions—only the blank spaces are visible and selectable.
How do I make the cursor visible while typing in word
Hi there, I am using office 365, word version 2310. I just noticed when I begin typing, even one letter, my cursor disappears immediately, and I can only get it back by moving my mouse or press Ctrl. Previously, I think I could see my cursor while typing. Would it be possible to make my crusor visible while typing? I've tried the operations below: 1. turning on/off the 'smart cursoring'. 2. activate/unactivate 'hide pointer while typing' in 'pointer options'. 3. uninstall and reinstall office 365, repair/reset office 365. 4. turning off the HDR settings. 5. changing the display scale in 'display settings'. 6. lauching word in a safe mode. 7. changing the regional settings. None of them works. The funny thing is, when I am typing in Chinese characters, my cursor does not disappear at all, but even if I type one single English letter, the cursor disappears immediately. Additionally, I found the same behaviour when typing in notepad of windows. I know it might be a FEATURE to hide my cursor while typing, but is there any possible solution that I can make my cursor visible while typing? I just want to see my cursor. \ Thanks
