Sorry, but for security reasons, this feature only works for Thread descriptions that have only alphanumeric characters in them (A-Z,0-9). Richard still has to scrub all of the OLD descriptions from the system.

Read Conditional format by Gary @ 1/17/2013
I created a document in MS 2010 with a simple table in it "not a spread sheet" with dates in it. I added a date time function to automatically update in the top of my form when ever its opened.

My question is there a way I can compare the date time object to highlight a date stored in my table?

I know its possible to do formulas but is it possible to highlight a date that's in the table.

I am confident in my VB ability but not sure how of if it can be done.

Thanks

Reply from Richard Rost:

I don't think this is possible without some VBA, and I have to admit that I'm a bit rusty on my WORD VBA skills. I haven't done any VBA with Word in YEARS.

Read Keep Text Hidden by Doug Vigliotta @ 12/11/2012
How do I make a word document with some files or info., I want to keep hidden, unless the reader wants to see, by just clicking it to open it up?

Reply from Richard Rost:

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that DOESN'T involve VBA programming. Anybody else have any ideas?

Read Lables Word Address with Graphics by Tamt @ 9/23/2012
Hi

Please cld you show how to create Mailing address labels in word with graphics - eg Christmas address labels, or just Family Address Lables

Reply from Richard Rost:

I cover mailing labels in Word 5. All you have to do is use the technique I show for creating a full page of the same label, add a piece of clipart (or other graphic) to the FIRST label, and then copy & paste it to the others.

Read Word 2007 and 2010 nearly identical by Phil Gatchell @ 8/7/2012

Read Word 2007 and 2010 nearly identical by Faith L @ 7/25/2012
O.K.  Thanks. Your lessons have been great so I trust you when you say that Word 2007 is almost identical to 2010. I will consider taking those lessons.

Reply from Richard Rost:

Try the first one, and if you're not happy with it, I'll refund your money or give you a credit for something else.

Read Word 2010 Lessons by Faith L @ 7/23/2012
When will you have lessons for Microsoft Word 2010?

Reply from Richard Rost:

Faith, I'm not going to re-record the five beginner lessons that I have for Word 2007 because they would be almost IDENTICAL to Word 2010. Microsoft really didn't change much between the two versions, and I feel it would be a waste of time.

I would like to make some EXPERT-level Word 2010 lessons later this summer. There are a lot of topics that I covered in Word 2003 that I really want to cover in Word 2010 (like Mail Merge, recording Macros, etc.)

WHEN will be based on the voting results from the Waiting List. Right now Word is behind several other courses, including Access, Windows, Outlook, Visual Basic, and PowerPoint... so it might be a little while unless more people vote for it.

Read Using fill in forms in Word 2010 by Mike @ 6/14/2012
Thanks very much. I knew about the developer tab stuff, but it's the more advanced steps I wasn't sure of. Older versions of Word allowed the fields to be bookmarked, and then cross-referenced for fill-in throughout the remainder of the document, but it appears that feature got tossed out for the 2010 version.

The Access data idea is intriguing...I know nothing about how to use Access, but that might be perfect!

Reply from Richard Rost:

Yes, in Access you could create a database to store the data and then just insert those fields anywhere you want into a legal document. I cover something very similar to this in my Access 204 class where I build a letter writer. It's basically the same concept - you fill in a database with the person's name, address, and the content of the letter and then Access formats it into a printable report.

Read Using fill in forms in Word 2010 by Mike @ 6/13/2012
I'm trying to create a lease form for my real estate company in Word 2010. (We already have them in Wordperfect but we're switching word processors). Here's what the document needs to have:

1.  Keyboard prompts for the user to type in data (Landlord name, tenant name, monthly rent, start & end dates, etc)

2.  The ability to have some of those fields repeat throughout the document. For instance, if the user types the Landlord name once, it should populate in other places throughout the document).

3.  The ability for the user to jump from one data entry field to the next, rather than having to manually search for the text fields.

Hopefully the above can be accomplished without complex programming (it's easy to do in Wordperfect). I've done some research about fill-in fields or control fields, but I can't get either to do #2 and #3 above.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mike

Reply from Richard Rost:

This should help with SOME of your issues:

1. First, turn on the DEVELOPER TAB for your Ribbon. Go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon. On the right side put a check in the box for the DEVELOPER tab.

2. Now, load up your document. Go to the new Developer tab, in the Controls section, and click on DESIGN MODE.

3. To place form fields where you want the user to input data, use the PLAIN TEXT CONTENT CONTROL in the Controls section. There are also controls for rich text (with formatting), check boxes, drop-down lists, and more.

4. Once you've got your form fields in place, turn off Design Mode. You can now test data entry if you want.

5. Protect your document so users can ONLY enter data into the form fields you specified and not change the rest of the document. Click on RESTRICT EDITING in the Protect section. Check option #2 and select "filling in forms." Then click #3, "Yes, start enforcing protection." Enter a password.

This should get you started. YES, you can use some macros or VBA to prompt the user for input and then fill in some fields with that data (like asking for a person's name once and then filling that into a bunch of different boxes) but that's a little more advanced, and I don't have time right now to go into all of that. I really haven't covered much with Word Macros or VBA in my lessons, but this would make a great seminar, so perhaps I'll cover it in the near future.

AS A SIDE NOTE... personally if this is all you need, I would do this in MICROSOFT ACCESS. You can set up your legal documents as REPORTS and then make a fill-in form to ask the user to fill in the details. That data would get saved in a table for permanent record-keeping, and you could print out a nice formatted report with all the data. You could even put the text of the document itself into a table. Oooh... another great idea for a seminar. :)

Read Scan to MS Word by Kenneth Major @ 5/1/2012
Thanks Richard,  you say to put it as a background,  but I can only find  'Watermark'  'Page Colour' and 'Page Borders'.
As you can tell I am not very adept at Word
Ken

Reply from Richard Rost:

Just make sure it's the bottom-most image on your page. You don't need to make it an ACTUAL background. Just make sure all of your text boxes are layered on top of it (there are Send To Back and Bring To Front buttons you can use).

Read Scan to MS Word by Kenneth Major @ 5/1/2012
Is it possible to scan a document or Form into word then fill it in and save or print

Reply from Richard Rost:

It's possible. If this isn't something you do often, you can scan the image and then place it as a background in your Word document. Add text boxes over the spots where information should go, and that would suffice. However, if you're going to do this on a regular basis, I'd recommend software like Omniform that is specifically designed for this process. Also, if you have one form, or a small number of forms, that you're always having to do this with, you could make an Access Report out of it and design an on-screen form to type the data into, but the printout would look like your paper form.

Read Using contacts address book in Word by Roger Jeffrey @ 4/28/2012
I use Woor and Outlook 2007. When I use "mailing"m tab to create an envelope, I click on the Icon that says insert address. When I click this Icon, I get the following error message:

"The address list cannot be displayed.The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook Help".

I've tried the help in Word and Outlook and can't find the answer. Also searched "google" to find help, but no specific instructions.

Any suggestions?

Reply from Richard Rost:

I've never encountered this before either. It sounds like either (a) your Outlook contacts database is corrupted, or (b) perhaps there are some characters in your address field for that contact that Word/Outlook doesn't like. There is an Outlook repair tool out there (Google it). I had to use it myself a few years ago. Give that a try.

Read Section Numbers Starting on Odd or Even pages by Jerry Bryan @ 3/2/2012
I think I already figured out the answer to the following.  With Word 2007, I couldn't get Section Break (Odd Page) and Section Break (Even Page) to work.  It turns out that they were working fine.  I just couldn't tell they were working fine.  Here's what happens.

Sometimes a Section Break with even or odd needs to cause a blank page to be created, and it didn't seem to be creating a blank page when a blank page was called for.  But if I printed the document, the blank pages appeared correctly.  It's just that when editing the document, Word 2007 doesn't seem to show you the blank pages that appear as the result of Section Break odd or even.

Reply from Richard Rost:

Sure. Save your logo in the header of your page, and then I would save this page as a TEMPLATE file.

Read Incrementing day and date by Jeanne @ 2/22/2012
Is there a way to increment the day of the week and date in a table without having to type it in?  What I want is for two columns to increment these values (one with days - Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat) and then the next column with the date and have both columns update automatically when you hit return to create a new row.  The new row would have the next day and the next date (e.g., Saturday when the row above was Friday; and 21 Feb 2012 when the row above is 20 Feb 2012).  Or is there a way to do it like you do in Excel where you put in a day and then when you highlight the rows under it, they fill in with the next days, etc.  I cannot remember how to do this in Excel either but know it can be done.

Reply from Richard Rost:

Insert the page number (Insert, Page Number) then once you have it, right-click on the page number itself and select Format Page Number. You'll see an option at the bottom "Start at" where you can put whatever number you want in.
