MS Word querie

You wouldn't want to do that if you were hoping anyone (including Literotica) would publish it. (What a mess that would be. Sort of the training manual style.)

And you can do that with Word, so I don't know what all of the background stuff was about.

Were it strictly for Lit, I think I'd use Jarte or maybe Open Office (I have both). But the 'others' in the loose association I occasionally work with all use Word of one version or another, so switching horses, so to speak, is not much of an option.

The answer is, apparently, buried deep in "Styles & Formatting".

I think I'll re-load Word 97. At least I could DO things with it.

You can use Open Office and save it as any type of Word document you want.

I've set something and I don't know what it's called or where to find it. I am writing a Technical Manual, so there are many headings, sub-headings and so on. I have a document which, when I highlight a heading (to, say, underline or embolden), it does that to the rest of the paragraph.

Which bloody switch is ON when it should be OFF. ?

Before you do anything see which style you might be working with (right hand side of the Home ribbon). Make a note of which one is selected, if it isn't the Normal style.

Try selecting the entire paragraph, then click on the clear formatting button. It's on the Home ribbon at the upper right hand of the Font section (it looks like a white eraser). That should remove all the special stuff, and then you can re-format from there.

I've been using Word since the first Windows version. The evolution has been...interesting. I dislike a lot of the newest version and the way it's obscured mail merge and editing tools. It took me nearly a week to customize everything to make it, well, next to normal, anyway.
