Make numbering independent of position
Yes. I want to try that... (The actual question is placed at the end of the post) Below there's a gimmick ilustration of what I'm trying to achieve. The actual document I'm working on is an instructions manual of a complex machine with lots of elements. I want to place referenceable identification numbers of the elements contained in explanations throughout my document. Here I made some baloons by inserting round shapes with added texts and and also some arrows, with the Numbering Style giving me those identification numbers. These let me copy and paste, getting the next number every time. Problem 1: I can't create a new baloon for SolidWorks (for example) and assing it any desired number, like 5. Using "Set Numbering Value..." would do a mess. It seems that doing it would set the first element (that doesn't even show in the ilustration) to 5 and then re-number everything from that. Problem 2: I couldn't find any way to cross-reference headings or numbered lists insided texts in shaper nor inside text boxed. I guess that this is a subject for another post. Question: Is it possible to insert a new list item at any position of that same existing list in another paragraph or shape? It would be something like inserting number 3 like this: 1. Item 2. Item 4. Item Other location: 3. ItemHow to add a new field to existing XML Mapping
Hi, everyone! Good day! I've made an XML file which I imported to my doc using XML Mapping Pane -> (Add new part...) and I used it to map some texts. How could I add new fields to this XML Mapping? What I tried: I tried editing the XML file and then importing it again. As a result, I have two XML Mappings with the same name that act as completely separate mappings. I couldn't even find a way to delete the older one.
How do I correct heading numbering?
UPDATE: I couldn't remove this post, after I discovered the issue. Thanks! I need to update heading numbering within an old document. Custom headings were made (as pictured) but I need the heading levels 2 and 3 to include the parent heading number of each. When I attempt to update the level 2 heading for Section 2, it wants to continue with Section 1 (see pictured example). In the number format, I do not know how to tell Word to include the parent numbers? I included "1." thinking it was intelligent enough to know that was just a format designation of the parent heading, but I guess that isn't how. I realize I may be making some glaring mistakes, but just trying to get it right. So this is a learning moment. The caveat here is that I'm not creating the heading from scratch but rather, trying to update the existing document headings. I did follow some online suggestions but none of them addressed including the parent value in this scenario. Section 2 <Heading Level 1 text format> <-- Here I need the word "Section" to proceed the level 1 heading number 2.1 <Heading Level 2> <-- Here I need the level 2 heading to include the parent section level number 2.1.1 <Heading Level 3> <-- Here I need the level 3 heading to include level 1 and 2 numbers.
Word: Performance and functionality concerns
Hi! Is this happening to you, too? I work on a team that has incorporated co-authoring in a way that it has become an instrumental part of our workflow and processes. We are the only team in our organization to have significant issues with Word: Comments are ghost multiplying (from under 50 to over 4,000) Mark-up is inconsistently available Changes are not always saving for various contributors Formatting, especially custom table styles, are auto-reformatting to something illegiable Important documents are slow to load, if they do Real-time editing is, on occasion, impossible . . . and more. I researched and found some insights. I can't find anything "out there" that would suggest others are experiencing these types of roadblocks. Are you? I am sorry if you are, but I'd be happy to know we're not alone. Do you have any tips or things you've done to improve your experience? Some context: We actively and regularly contribute to documents asynchronously (large and small), apply custom branding styles, comment (and @ team members in comments), share links in team chats, channels, and provide access to others through Outlook links. The majority of the team uses PC, but likely accesses and edits files through chats, channels, emails, Teams, Online, and OneDrive. We also have one Mac, which handles the heavy load for branding and formatting as well. I appreciate any perspectives! Thank you.How to eliminate any height beyond text height on textbox
Why? I need to make a special Quick Part where stacked text boxes are close enough to overlap each other before the actual texts start overlapping. This makes the text input afterwards a struggle. I can fine-adjust the space at the bottom by dragging a text box's resize handle, but the space at the top doesn't disappear. I've already removed margins, paragraph spaces and set line spaces to minimum. Setting vertical alignment from Top to Middle doesn't change this behavior. Is it possible to adjust the text box's size to fit the text size exactly?
