MS Office Legal and Corporate - I Don’t See Any of My Graphics On The Screen… Scenario : Secretary calls.  She says she does not see any graphics on her screen.  She explained that she is used to seeing spaces, tabs, returns etc. This is a common scenario but you should know the two caveats.  I suggested that she go to Format , Options , Display .  Make sure that “ Show All Formatting Marks ” is checked.   She said it is checked but still no graphics.  On your Home Tab, in the middle of your ribbon, you have your “ Show Hide ” button which looks like a return symbol.  If that is in the “ off ” position even with “ Show All Formatting Marks ” on, you will NOT see your graphics, so just turn it on and you should be fine.

Different First Page and The Two Pieces of a Section... If you understand this concept in entirety, then you are far ahead of most people who have trouble dealing with separate sections and the " Different First Page " function when setting up MS Word Documents From Scratch. Different First Page :  Found Under Page Layout (“ Layout ” 2016 and above), Page Setup and go to " Layout " under Page Setup .  You can also find Different First Page under the Header/Footer Ribbon. Different First Page allows me to place something on Page 1 of a Particular Section (in the Header or Footer) and not carry it forward to the remaining pages of a given section.  An example would be the words Execution Copy in the Header  on page 1 of a section and not on any other page of this same section. Conversely, I can exclude something from the first page of a section and then have that excluded item on the second page forward of the section. A good example would be excluding the page num...
