Message-ID: <9403232120.AA24666@brown.edu>

We have a user here who has not been able to get Word 5.1 (not sure
if he has the "a" upgrade) to launch files from the finder. When he
double-clicks on a Microsoft Word file, it does launch Word, but
it opens a new untitled document.  He can open those same files correctly
by going to the File menu and using the Open command.  He has
tried starting without extensions to see if there is a conflict, but
that has not improved the situation.

Any suggestions or solutions out there?

   Where can I get an extension to allow Mac-Word 5.1 to use the
   Text-to-Speech capability of MacInTalk Pro.  I have the software and a
   IIsi; I need the extension.

>> I know that there is a trick to using profile and landscape page
>> options in the  same word document.

You can put landscape-oriented tables into a portrait-oriented document as
follows:

1) Highlight the table, then Copy as Picture (option-command-D). I recall that
in Word 4 you need to hide the paragraph marks first, otherwise they turn up
in the graphic as well.

2) Paste into a drawing program (I don't find Word 5's drawing module as
easy), group everything, then rotate 90 degrees.

3) Ungroup (I believe this cuts down on the graphic size - someone please
 correct me if I'm wrong), make sure everything is selected, then copy and paste
 into Word.

The inability to mix portrait and landscape by less heroic means is a
limitation of the Macintosh, not Word.

Subject: ps code to rotate object?
Message-ID: <199403240342.AA07456@louie.cc.utexas.edu>

I am writing something with mixed landscape and portrait figures/ tables.
If I use the standard approach to use the "rotate landscape page numbers"
glossary, I would have to create a long file chain since the mixing is
almost random (necessary in this case).  I was wondering if some
Word/Postscript gurus out there could post some code to rotate the selected
object/texts in portrait mode, so that I can mix landscape and portrait
stuff in one file.  (Word5.x/Personal LaserWriter NT).

Any suggestions/comments/pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <199403240811.AA23826@alsvid.scu.edu.au>

(My first attempt to post this group-apologies if I screw up!)

I have a glossary entry that puts a logo, address and other fax-header info
up for me at one key stroke. Great! But I can't find any way of having word
(5.1a) automatically include the current date in the entry. I have to add
it manually or by invoking a second glossary item "date". Is there any way
to include one glossary entry (date) in another (fax header)? I DON'T want
stationary!!! I sometimes need to fax existing documents so I just drop in
the header at the top I don't want to cut and paste (or even drag and
drop-when we get it) between documents.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Subject: Word-mac question
Message-ID: <9403231218.AA13672@dogwood.fred>

I have been using a Macintosh since August.  I am
coming from the DOS/Windows environment.  My
questions with Word 5.1 on the Mac are as follows:

1.  In Windows you can convert a table to text and
    vice versa.  I have yet to figure out how to
    do this.  Has anyone done this, or knows a way
    around this without having to cut and paste?

2.  Also in Windows, you can have Word count your
    pages in a document (i.e., 1 of 10, 2 of 10,
    3 of 10, etc.).  I can't remember all the steps,
    but you would set a bookmark at the end of the
    document (highlight a paragraph mark
    or something) and make it hidden.  Then, I think
    you go into your footer and insert a bookmark.
    So, you in essence would have PAGE [Word page
    command for inserting page] OF [bookmark].

    You always want your bookmark at the end of the
    document so it knows how many pages are in your
    document.

    Has anyone figured this one out in the Mac version?

Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you.

Hi,

Does anyone know what Microsoft's official policy is with updates
for their software. I want to buy a Power Mac, and my wife needs
to use Word and Excel for work related stuff. If we buy them now,
what does Microsoft intend to do for upgrades to native Power Mac
applications. I understand that the native apps are due out this
summer.

Does anyone have any experience with running these packages on the
Power Macs as 68K binaries? Do they run OK, any problems????

Any info would be greatly appreciated...

	Brian
