I’ve spent the last month or so tweaking our new computers so they all work the same way. I’ve come across a few things I haven’t been able to figure out myself, and you guys have come through each time.
MS Word 2003:
Today, I am having a problem with creating labels. On my machine, when I make start a new page of labels (Tools/Letters and Mailings/Envelopes and Labels/New Document), the new document will have solid text borders - thin black lines that show you exactly where you are on the page.
On my partner-in-crime’s machine, it doesn’t do show any lines at all. I’ve found a way around it - turning on the text boundaries (Tools/Options/View Tab) but that give her dotted lines in all her Word documents. It works for the short term, but I’d really like to find out how to set her machine to the exact same options as mine.
Anybody know where to find this setting?
(I’ve spoken with the paperclip dude and searched the help files - but my searching skilz suck.)
I don’t think that’s it, although that is another solution. The reason I don’t think that is correct is that my lines are gray (I know, I said they were black - I was wrong) and hers come out black.
However, I’d be happy with this solution and can easily change the lines to gray. Yet, for some reason (perhaps because our network administrators won’t allow it?) it doesn’t change the default even though it says it is going to.
I click “Default” on the page setup window and it says “Do you want the change the default settings for page setup? This will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template.” I click yes, then I try to open a new label document - no lines. I tried shutting down windows then reopening it - still no lines.
So I lernt sumpin, but I still don’t have it fixed. Thanks, RevCo! If my memory serves me correctly, you really helped me last time, too.
