Wednesday, December 09, 2009 – Permalink – SparklinesQuick graphic reinforcementA graph or chart can give the reader a visual representation of a great deal of data. Concepts or results can be more easily grasped by a well formatted graphic. Charts, usually, take up more space in a document than is absolutely required. Edward Tufte has come up with the concept of Sparklines (Sparklines:Intense, Word-sized Graphics) . These are small graphs about the same height and width as common words. They are not out of place in the text of a document. Sparklines give the reader a snapshot of the data that quickly supports the material being discussed.  See: Bisantz Sparklines The Sparkmaker can create Sparklines for Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. They can also be produced in HTML. See all Topics word <Doug Klippert@ 3:27 AM

Thursday, July 30, 2009 – Permalink – Protected Spell CheckerCorrect the protectedUnfortunately, Word's protection feature disables a huge number of important functions, even if you only protect a single section of a document. Besides the spellchecker, many other items on the View, Insert, Format, Tools and Table menus are disabled, as well as most items on the Drawing, Database, Visual Basic and Picture toolbars. This MS Word MVP FAQ Site article lays out the steps needed to Enable the spellchecker in a protected document. One of the important elements is "NoReset=True".

Tuesday, July 08, 2008 – Permalink – Customize EnvelopesYour own #10The default layout for envelopes is not sacrosanct to anyone but the postal service. You can move objects around; add text and pictures.
Microsoft Support:
"One of the advantages to using Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook is the ability to use information from the Address Book in Microsoft Word documents. Exactly how to do it, though, isn't obvious. The key is an AutoText entry called AddressLayout. This article shows you how to change this entry and how to add an Insert Address button to the Word toolbar."
"USAGE NOTE The word envelope was borrowed into English from French during the early 18th century, and the first syllable acquired the pronunciation (on) as an approximation to the nasalized French pronunciation. Other similar words borrowed from French in the modern period include envoy (17th century), encore, ennui, ensemble, entree (18th century), entourage, and entrepreneur (19th century). Most retain their pseudo-French pronunciations, with the exception of envoy, which, like envelope, is mainly pronounced with (en) now."

Monday, February 25, 2008 – Permalink – Legacy files from 2007Go backRead this article closely. If you work in a situation where you need to work with legacy (pre-2007) files, it may be handy. If you do most of your work in 2007, I wouldn't bother. "When you use Windows Explorer or the desktop to create a new 2007 Microsoft Office file, a new Office file is created in an XML file format (.dox or .xlsx). For example, this behavior occurs when you right-click the desktop, you point to New, and then you click Microsoft Office Word Document. By default, files that you create in the 2007 Office system are in XML file formats. Knowledgebase 935787 See all Topics word Labels: Customize <Doug Klippert@ 7:51 AM
