FAQs

Question 1: Example 34 does not work properly. It fills in the Dot not the Doc like its supposed to.

Solution 1: What is happening is the "Header" is put in the document like it is supposed to be but then the bookmarks which are suppose to follow and be placed on the document are put in the template (which is opened). We found that if you put ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(.... then it works even if there is another doc or dot open.

Question 2: I'm not able to print a single page from the PDF version of the book. The file is apparently encrypted to not allow printing. Is there a workaround for this?

Solution 2: Due to copyright issues in the past, we have had to lock all .pdf files so they cannot be reproduced.

Question 3: On page 167, Scaling a Document to a different paper size - I needed to select US Postcard (4"x6") and this was not available in my dropdown list.

Solution 3: I'm sorry, but the book has typos on page 167.

The following scaling features are not included in Word 2000:

A5, A6, B5, Index Card, Banner Letter and Banner A4, Hagaki, U.S. Postcard (4"x6"), Baronial, and Envelopes #9, C5, C6, and B5.

Question 4: The WOPR program you included on CDROM in the back of this book will not completely uninstall.

Solution 4: You can uninstall manually by deleting the WOPR 2000 files from your Office Startup folder. The default path is:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\startup

(If you cant find your startup folder, you get the path through, Tools, Options, File Locations.)

Now delete WOPR 2000 from your Program Files folder.

While it isn't absolutely required, you can delete the Registry entries for WOPR. (But be very careful with the Registry since you can disable a system!) Click on Start, Run and type regedit.exe and click OK. Select: HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
then Software. Select Pinecliffe and then click on Edit, Delete. That will complete the uninstall.
