I’ll give it a try! Thank you kindly!!

Okay. I figured it out. I wasn’t deleting the group box. It works fine now.

That should have been “dropping its bottom border” on the first page. All the other pages are fine. If I add a hard page break, it prints fine, but that’s not really a very good solution.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply pingdat. However, your answer doesn’t make sense to me. I have one heading in Style 2 that is different from all the other headings in Style 2. My TOC is picking up the caps that I typed in that one heading and putting it just like I typed in the TOC (which is exactly what it’s supposed to do). I don’t want it to be ALL CAPS in the TOC. I want Title Case in the TOC. How do I “trick” the TOC into putting that heading in Title Case instead of caps. (I tried using * caps in the switch code, but then it puts those things that are supposed to be all caps into initial caps and that won’t work.)

Well, actually, I think I figured out what I did wrong. The style separator has to be entered BEFORE I type the rest of the paragraph (or I needed to move the paragraph to the next line, enter the style separator and put the paragraph back on the line). So, never mind (and Thanks anyway)!

So, why is it, several days later, I go in and add the style separator and it puts it down a line or two from where my cursor is?

Thanks, Andrew! We don’t need the indexes any more, so I’m getting rid of them. I’d sure like to know what’s causing that little glitch though.

Any thoughts on globally deleting all of the indexes?

You’re right, Hans, that changes the straight quotes to smart quotes in pairs. However, I’m not getting my pairs when the text is indexed. (And it doesn’t matter if my hidden text is showing.) I’m only getting a beginning quote at the beginning of the word and a beginning quote at the end of the word.

It varies. It may be at the beginning of the sentence and typed: “Court” … When indexed it would look like this: “Courts{ XE “Court” }”

It may be in the middle of a sentence and be enclosed in parentheses, like this: (“Court”). When indexed it would look like this: (“Courts{ XE “Court” }”)

Either way, if I manually select the first quote and type a quote over it and then do the same for the end quote, it works fine. However, a global search and replace replaces the end quote with a begin quote.

It is my understanding that this is some quirk in Word because Word “hides” a quote within the index. If that’s the case, then perhaps someone knows of a workaround?

Don’t know. All the revisions were made and the document was submitted before I got a chance to look at it. That was also my suggestion, but it was too late. I’m just curious to know whether anyone had run across that particular problem and knew for sure what it was.

Oops. This would be fine, but the date isn’t Now(), it’s given. So, I have birthday 10/8/56 and on 10/15/07, I want to see if that person has a birthday anytime within 7 days of when I pull it up, it’ll say true, else it says false.

Actually, I tried that and it prints the entire document. I’ve also tried printing a selection and I get Page 1 of 1 on the footer. I’ve also tried selecting the print area and printing it, but that doesn’t work either. I find it hard to believe that if I want to print one page out of an Excel spreadsheet, I have to change the footer manually (i.e., Page 13 of 409 pages)!

It’s not truncating. The text is still there, you just have to put a soft return at the end of the line. And I hear what you’re saying. I guess the work around I’m using will have to do for now. A text box might be the next best answer (Word, of course, being the BEST answer).

All of those things were done. The problem is the text wraps fine up to a certain point. Then, it just cuts the rest of the words off. If I add soft returns after those lines, the text appears (the text up to that point wraps fine and I don’t have to add returns). Needless to say, adding soft returns is a mess if you have to adjust the column width. Also, since the row height only goes to 409cm, if there’s a lot of text, I have to put some in the cell below. (That’s not an issue, though–the issue is the text cutting off for no apparent reason.)
