TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Sorry to bother you on a tool-specific issue. Please answer off-list.
Q1. In word 97, I want to rename a bunch of styles. I use
Format|Style|Organizer|Rename, to rename highlighted styles. However, this
is not working.
For example, I want to rename "List 2" to "Numbered Next" So, using the
Rename button, I delete "List 2" and type "Numbered Next." Unfortunately,
what I end up with is a style called "List 2,Numbered Next." How can I
rename these styles?
Q2. The document in question has a bunch of styles called "Heading n," where
n is a number 1-9. Certainly, my document does not have nine levels of
headings (that would be a complex document indeed!). How can I remove all
"Heading n" styles? I want to remove them all because I plan to replace them
with styles named "Head n."
Q3. Positioning more than one graphic per page by floating gets hairy when
the graphic approaches the top of bottom of a page. There seems to be a
force-field in place that bounces the graphic all over creation.
Fortunately, I locked the anchors on my graphics. How can I place graphics
with certainty first time, and, as I add text, how do I prevent the graphics
(which move with the text) from getting bounced out of position as they
approach the top or bottom of a page. This is causing me a tonne of rework.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Cheers,
Sean
