Any of you computer smarties out there who can help me out?  I'm new to Word Client and EXText and I'm trying to figure out the least maddening way to set up my lists and numbers.  I already have a great macro for when they dictate 1., 2., 3., etc. so no problem there.  My problem comes in when some of these guys want 1. and then a., b. c.  They want it to be set up like this (hope it comes out right)

1.   text text text

      a.   Text

      b.   Text

2.  Text

      a.  Text.

I can get my a. b. c. macro to look right when I type it as a stand alone macro, but if I have done my 1.2.3. macro and then try to do the a.b.c. underneath the 1, then it scoots the a.  waaaay too far over to the right, to where it is under the second word of the text, not lined up right under the first letter of the text under 1.  Does anyone know of a way to do this that doesn't involve a bunch of time and extra key strokes?  Hope this makes sense trying to explain it, I'm waiting on deliverye of my Word For Dummies book but then had the thought that I have seen computer-related questions answered here before and thought I would give it a shot.  TIA.

I hope I can explain this right:

I can be typing along just fine in Word, and suddenly it will "blank out", causing me to retype sometimes two or three sentences. There are times this happens three or four times per report, and times it does not happen all day. I have to stop, click with the mouse back to where I was, and retype. Does this make sense and does anyone know what I can do to get it to stop? Thanks!  

For the first time in my 5 years of MTing, I am going to be working in Word and I need to make macros as well as auto text and I am clueless how to do this.

I know it's a lot to ask but y'all are the best.  Can someone walk me through the steps.  You'll be my new BFF, I promise. :)

From time to time I try to add a word into a paragraph and it starts taking out the beginning of the next word so I end up having to type the whole paragraph again.   Today I am trying to change the first word of a normal and it starts taking out the next word.  I cannot type the wole normal again.  I hope you understand what I mean.  Does anyone have a quick fix.  TIA

Is there a place on-line where I can purchase it and download it?  If not, where can I get a good deal on it?  I need it ASAP!

Thanks

I recently put installed Microsoft word 2005 in my computer. I use MT world for my job.  Every time I send something after I type to update it sits in updating document for a long time. Has any one else have this problem or have a solution.   No one else in else at the job has this problem but me. 

Is there any way to have Word open up  automatically with the view screen at 125% (rather than 100%)?  Right now I have to change it each time I start it up.

Thx for any help.

When I type out 1st, 2nd, 3rd, how do I get the letters to type of normally instead of  like this: 3^rd

I have a lot to learn about Word. :)

When I click on a letter within a word, the whole word is automatically highlighted and selected.  Is there an option I can change so it doesn't do this?

Thx for any help.

Does anyone know how to change a title of a document?  I have named my document and I have to change the name.

Thank you very much!

I had to do recovery on my computer and I added a newer Microsoft Office.  This is MUCH different than my old version so I wanted to see if anyone can help me out.  On old version if I used AutoText for saving smaller things after typing a couple of letters it would pop up with the info that I wanted.  I can't figure out if this new version does that or not.  From what I have read I can't find that it does, but if anyone has any information that it does still do this it would be greatly appreciated!

How many of you have used this or are using it?  I never heard of it before and was wondering if it was worth the investment.

Okay I am typing a interview and am wondering how to get all the words to automatically tab over so I don't go back and have to do it manually.  It's like this

Interviewer:           Response XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ffadXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

and all words of response need to be under the response.  Hope that makes sense.

I have Microsoft Word 2003 and for some reason it is not correcting the spelling on capital words (like in a heading).  I cannot figure out how to get it to correct capital words?

Thanks

I have forgotten how to make it indent the numbers automatically in Microsoft Word.  Help from anyone.  Thanks in advance

I have done this before and for the life of my I cannot remember how I did it. Can someone help me out?  Okay.  This new doctor would like heading and numbers under each heading.  He wants me to tab over from the number to begin typing and the words to sort of "wrap" so that the second line would not return to under the number.  I will try to show it here.

Treatment:

1.     The patient will ____________________________

        the rest of the sentence would continue under the words "The patient.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create shortcuts or word expansions in microsoft word?  Thanks so much!!!

to find how to do this in Word, just type in numbering where you ask for help. It gives a simple good explanation how to do it.

You just type 1 and tab or space over. Type in your text and enter. it should automatically come up. If it does not, then go to tools menu, click autoformat as you type, select automatic bulleted list or automatic numbered lists, Make sure the box is checked.  To finish your list, ENTER twice or press backspace to delete the last bullet or number in the list. It works. I tried it to be sure.
