Have you activated the copy?

Other than activation/expiration, you can also lock text by selecting it and
clicking Group - Group in the Developer tab. Try selecting everything and
choose Group - Ungroup... assuming it's not an activation issue.

Sometimes you just have to tell people that what they want is not practical.
Why not give them a toolbar button that will add the information with vba?

So, for the record, there's another thing that was possible with Word
97-2003, but not in Word 2007.

No, what you are asking for is still possible in Word 2007 in exactly the
same way it was in previous versions. You *can* add a header or footer to
the Normal template if you're determined to do, but we don't advise it. If
you don't use Normal, then you have exactly the same options you had before.

Look deeper in the configuration settings. I saw a setting for "Insert Yen
sign when pressing \." I know the Yen sign is a Y with a little half-bar,
but maybe the font you're using is translating it a little differently. So
maybe that setting has been checked.

I'm awful sorry, I'm new to Word 2007, and I only saw it in passing while
trying to look at the monstrous number of settings available, so I'm not
sure exactly where this setting is, and I am not at my office, but I really
think it is in the compatability settings.

Be sure to let us konw what you find out.

Confirm that the font is indeed licensed for embedding by downloading
Microsoft's Open Type Font Properties Extension utility from somewhere in
the Microsoft Typography Web site. Then a right-click on the font (in the
Fonts folder) will show you which LEVEL of embedding, if any, the font is
licensed for -- or prohibited from. It answered my
why-can't-I-embed-this-font situation a while back.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've managed to solve the problem; in the
nick of time, also. I was contemplating throwing the computer out of the
window.

Although this relates to a different question, I followed the advice here:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/columns/019/default.mspx.

The Reverse Solidus (a.k.a. back-slash) was being replaced with the Korean
Won (currency) symbol. In the "Supplemental language support" box (Control
Panel > "...Regional Options" > "Regional and Language Options" >
"Languages") I removed Word's support for right-to-left languages and East
Asian languages, re-booted and the problem was no more.

I don't know what the consequences of this will be - if any - and I'm sure
there was an easier solution to the problem, but not one I could find.

Thanks to everyone who offered help.

Word is your best bet saved as version 2003/97. I have written a couple of
novels in Word Perfect, but most agents and publishers want soft copies in
Word format. I had to convert the large file (133,000 words) to Word and then
go through and manually change the chapter headings and most punctuation
marks which printed out as letters or other characters. If I had known that
Word would be the lingua franca I would have strated there.

Save as 2003 or earlier since not all users have 2007.

Hi I was having the same problem. I have a PowerPoint presentation due in my
online college course. When I posted it to my individual forum as an
attachment my instructor said there wasn't anything there. I looked and it
was blank. When I sent the same presentation to my other email address, it
opened. I tried your advice and saved it as 97-2003 doc. then tried posting
it again...same thing it was blank...I need to post this assignment in a
couple of days, what do I do? I have the trial version does that matter?
Thanks

Mike,

If you haven't gone to that website try the following:

1. With a new document find "Letters and Mailings" in the Tools menu.
2. Single-click "Envelopes and Labels..."
3. Click the Labels Tab in the Envelopes and Labels window.
4. Click Options and find the product number that matches the template
number on the package of your business card paper. (The package will have
somthing like "Use template 8371.") Your number may be different than mine
depending on whcih type of paper you purchased.

(TIP: A quick way to get to your products number without having to scroll
through every number in the list is to select the first item by
single-clicking it and then type the first digit of the template number. In
this case, mine would be "8". This causes the selection highlighter to jump
to the products starting with the first digit of your template number making
it quicker to find your product #.)

5. Once you've located your product #, double-click it.

(Note: After this you will return to the Labels tab in the Envelopes and
Labels window. Do not put anything in the area labeled "Address". If you do,
it will be hard to insert your graphic and then you'll have do it over
because word adjusts the margins of each cell to fit anything put in the
address section when creating the cards.)

6. Make sure that the "Full page of same label" option is selected and then
click New Document.

(TIP: When you are selecting your graphic you may want to save it as a file
with the ".jpg" file extension and then resize it using Microsoft Photo
Manager (I think that's what it's called.) or some other imaging program.
Keep in mind that the larger your image is, the less room you have for text.
Word tends to enlarge the image somewhat when you insert it. Therefore, If
you don't shrink the image, one of three things can happen; 1) Part of the
image will be printed on the edge of the page & on the perferation lines of
the card causing you to loose part of your graphic, 2) Part of your text will
be lost and you'll end up with part of it on the other business cards that
are on the right of the first card or 3) You might loose part of both the
graphic and text. You might want to make a few copies of the test page that
is usually provided with the business cards so that you can adjust the
alignment and image size if need be before doing an actual print on the
business cards. When you run a test print it is a good idea to only print
only one buisness card on the test sheet(s) if Word will let you. That way
you can run multiple alignment tests on one test sheet. Also, try testing in
black/white since you are just checking to see how the graphics and text will
fit on the business card. Doing a test print will save you time and ink in
the long run.)

If you'd like to share your email address with me I can send you a template
that I made for my business cards so that you'll have an example to follow.
That way you can see how big my graphic is.

I hope this information helps you out. Please feel free to let me know if
you don't understand something or if you needany more help. Have a nice day.
