MS Word Legal/Corporate: How Would you Know what style your cursor is sitting Upon? Scenario :  Attorney gives you a document to edit.  You are told that some of the Defined Terms (“ Defined Terms ”), within the document are bolded manually and some are bolded using a “ character style ”.  You are asked to make sure that all Defined Terms are using a Character Style for the Bold attribute. The character style is beneficial because it allows us to change or add attributes such as Italic or Underscore to a piece of text quickly with a simple modification of the already existing Character Style, rather than on a one by one basis if using Direct Formatting. So back to our original question.  When going through the document how can we quickly know whether the piece of text that is Bolded (which is our scenario), was Bolded using Direct Formatting or by the use of a Character Style? Of course we can use our right side style pallet to see what style lights up when we place...

I told her to close the Header/Footer section and then use the Control Home command. Scenario No. 2:  An operator tells me that he keeps saving a one page PDF as a JPG as requested.  The PD...

  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...
