two unrelated 2007 questions
1. Where have they put "Set Language"?
I'm translating an article from French, and rather than start a blank document, I copied the original text because of all the proper names; but when I type ", it automatically changes it to left-guillemets + nonbreaking space, instead of to a left curly quote, i.e., it's set for French. "Help" is useless -- it points me only to instructions on how to get a machine translation of the document. (I might do that just for laughs.) 2. Is there a way to change Paragraph Numbering into static text? Unlinking the hyperlinks of the cross references doesn't also do it to automatic numbering. (My book chapters are going to a typesetter to be turned into LaTex, and the fewer non-text coding materials in the document, the better.) |

It's in the Proofing group on the Review tab--actually much more accessible
than before if you can remember where it is (I knew it was on the Ribbon but had to hunt). -- Suzanne S.

I had problems discovering the little globe, too.

And when your document isn't half the screen wide, so that you can see
the original and the translation simultaneously, the odd little icon even has a label saying so! Now how did they decide which column of labels to omit when the Ribbon wasn't full-width? Yet another reason to prefer drop-down menus to the Ribbon. On Nov 28, 6:19*pm, "Suzanne S.

Sorry, what's "ActiveDocument"? (In both 2007 and 2003.) Again, "Help"
was no help at all. On Nov 28, 9:11*pm, "Klaus Linke" wrote: I had problems discovering the little globe, too. Re 2., you can use ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText Regards, Klaus "Suzanne S.

ActiveDocument is the document that currently has the focus. To expand on
Klaus's instructions: Press Alt+F11 to open the VBA Editor and Ctrl+G to get to the Immediate window. In that window, type ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText and press Enter. If the numbering is part of the paragraph style, however, it will return if you reset the paragraph (Ctrl+Q). -- Suzanne S.

So they never contemplated that ordinary users might want to do that
some day ... thank you. On Nov 28, 11:31*pm, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: ActiveDocument is the document that currently has the focus.
