No, The Document Is Not Corrupt...

 No, The Document Is Not Corrupt...


Scenario:  Secretary is asked to bring in a logo and a number of JPEG pictures for a brochure in MS Word.  The secretary does so and the pictures won't show on the screen. There is now a box like figure where the picture should have been.  

1.  The secretary under some pressure, deleted the boxes and started again but got the same result.

2.  She was in Print Layout View.  To make matters worse, when she switched over to Draft View, she did not even have the box in place of the picture but instead a large gap where the picture would have been.

3.  She went to her help desk and they said that “the pictures are showing under Draft and Print Layout View when they go to File - Print and look at the Preview”.  They then said she should just print the file out for now.

4.  She really was not comfortable with the answer, but at least she could print the file and get the pictures in their intended location on the hard copy.

5. The answer to this minor dilemma is the "Show Picture Placeholders" selection which was active and that is what prevented the JPG pictures from showing on the screen.

To turn it off:

File - Options -  Advanced - Show Document Content - Show Picture Placeholders.  Remove the check and the problem is solved.

Hey Students:  AdvanceTo Offers Back To Basics!
AdvanceTo has a number of offerings, but the one that covers the greatest number of students is our “Back to Basics” class.  There are always people brand new to MS Word who hope to be able to enter the field of Corporate or Legal secretarial and word processing.  If you truly want to know MS Word with a high comfort level then take one of our thorough and fun “MS Word Back to Basics” classes.  

There are many people who may know the basics and they too are missing vital pieces of the puzzle.  Like anything else, learning word processing is a true skill that increases in value as you add onto your skill level.

We can train you from scratch or fill in the holes that you might currently have due to the way in which you were introduced to the topics such as styling and formatting.

From day 1 you will be styling and formatting paragraphs, taking care of signature blocks, dealing with global replace scenarios,  dealing with separate sections and page numbering’s as well as taking care of vital settings before you tackle each document.  We use the same methods that are used in top-tier legal firms to produce documentation and you will be exposed to a nice variation of corporate and litigation type documents.  Our basic class goes far beyond basics.

This hands-on Zoom or phone “basic class” is $175.00 for this 4.5 hour class. The class can be divided into two separate sessions if time constraints are at issue. All classes receive great narrative material as well as homework.  Those who purchase two or more classes receive a nice discount. All Groups are also provided discounts.  Zoom and Phone classes work very well. 

We are one of the very few that offer legal and corporate top-tier style secretarial and word processing training.  We have over 20 years of working in top law firms as Coordinators, IT Help Desk, Lead Operators, Corporate Trainers, Outsource Support Staff Trainers and we bring that experience to you!  Take advantage of what we have to offer.

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
