Hi all, I'm a dinosaur trying to catch up. I've just downloaded the Power Point presentations for Word and Excel, but I'm trying to work with it as I go and I've just been shooting in the dark. Right now, I have a problem with tables in my doc. I c&p some info off a website that utilizes frames and it pasted as tables. Now, it's hard to work with that content because it's treated as a block. Any way to remove that formatting?

I have Microsoft Office 2007 and I run into a problem where while openeing .doc files created in Office 2003, the document is obscured. It is a fax letterhead and instead of printing everything it only shows and prints the company name and address which is normally at the bottom. when you print if the company name is sheared by the top of the page and nothing else is present. wayne [ dot ] marsh [ at ] caribousoftware [ dot ] com

When you place a watermark in a document, you get a dialog box that gives you several choices. Among them are a number of standard text watermarks eg: Draft, COPY etc. Is there a way to add other choices to that dropdown?

I am beginning to use the developer tab in Word. Why isn't there a preset content control for a mail merge? I am trying to create a template that will use content controls to draw from an Outlook contact list. Is there currently any features in Word 2007 that will allow me to do this?

What would really ease the use of Office 2007 would be rolling out the compatibility pack in some kind of Office service pack so that the new document forat is easier to share with others. Is there any plan to do so in the near future ?

Question about Mail Merge

Hi, I got a different question, but I didn't found a better place to post it. I'm dealing with the problem of using a SharePoint contact list with the mail merge functionalities in Word 2007 respectively Word 2003.

I'd like to get the information directly from the contact list in SharePoint. What is the best way to do it in Word 2007 and Word 2003? thx for your help

regards,

david

@trina: There's some big round button in the upper left corner of the window. Try it out. If it flashes you've never pressed it yet. @David: I don't think it has to do with the compatibility pack, since I had the problem before. Please check if there are any hard readable CDs or drives mounted or anything else stops windows to get information about the drives and folders. Disable other tools installed to find out.

I use Word 2002 SP 3. Since installing the Compatibility Pack I am now experiencing difficulty saving any Office document. When I click on "save as" the Save Document box opens relatively quickly, but when I click on "save in" I experience an inordinate delay before the drop down containing the folder list appears. Is there a known conflict between the Compatibility Pack and the version of Office I am running?
