Questions about MS Word
I did not find a MS Word newsgroup, so I hope you dont mind that I am
asking the questions here. There are some default options I would like to change, but I am not sure how to do it. 1. The default Font type and Size. I would like everytime I opened a New document for the default font to be Ariel and the Size to be 10, how do I do this? 2. Also the Properties (file-properties) the Title and Author always gets filled in. How do I make it so that it stays blank unless I fill it in? 3. Also in the Properties...where does it get the Author info from? Currently its my full name, but I would like to change that. Is it a Windows default? Where is that infomation kept? 4. Default page size. How do I setup the Margins, so that it will always be .75 by default? Thanks |

Hi
check out microsoft.public.word.newusers however, to answer your questions - see in line below wrote in message ups.com... I did not find a MS Word newsgroup, so I hope you dont mind that I am asking the questions here. There are some default options I would like to change, but I am not sure how to do it. 1. The default Font type and Size. I would like everytime I opened a New document for the default font to be Ariel and the Size to be 10, how do I do this? open a document, choose format / font - choose the type & size that you want and then click the DEFAULT button - you will receive a message - say YES to it and then every new document you open will have the type & size you specified (the reason is that all blank documents, by default, are based on the normal template - clicking the default button in any dialog box in word makes the specified changes to the normal template). BTW if, when you close the document or word, you get asked about saving changes to the global template - this is also taking about saving changes to normal - so say YES. 2. Also the Properties (file-properties) the Title and Author always gets filled in. How do I make it so that it stays blank unless I fill it in? the author is set from tools / options / user information and the NAME field - however, leaving this field blank doesn't really work, so instead click in the name box and type a space - this will then leave the author field "blank" until you type into it. 3. Also in the Properties...where does it get the Author info from? Currently its my full name, but I would like to change that. Is it a Windows default? Where is that infomation kept? see above 4. Default page size. How do I setup the Margins, so that it will always be .75 by default? file / page setup ... again press the DEFAULT button to save the changes to normal. Thanks |

Hi John
you don't know how grateful i am to you posting this link, i've been trying ever since they brought the new interface in to figure out how to get a listing of groups for a program ... okay, maybe i haven't tried hard enough - but i miss the old way of doing things (still) Cheers JulieD "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the reply
the author is set from tools / options / user information and the NAME field - however, leaving this field blank doesn't really work, so instead click in the name box and type a space - this will then leave the author field "blank" until you type into it. I noticed that COMPANY is also filled in. But that option is not under User Info (tools-options) where is this coming from? But also, the TITLE, it always gets the first line of the document (If I dont change it) how can I stop this from happening? Thanks! |
