Word Advanced Course - Macros

How do you insert a page number as part of a macro or is this not possible? There was difficulty with this on the day of the course.

RE: Word Advanced Course - Macros

Hello Jenny,

I believe you are using 2007.

I have created a Macro in that version without any problems.

Macros only record your actions (Click Insert tab, selct the page number of your choice from the Headers & Footers group). Some companies do have security levels that prevent you from using macros but I would try to create it again making sure that your Macro name has no spaces & does not use the name of any Word command and that it is saved to be available to all Word documents.

The problem on course may have been to do with the fact that we have multiple versions of the packages on our training machines which sometimes causes a conflict which would not occur on a regular machine.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Ruth

Word tip:

Autonumbering in Word

The Auto Numbering feature in Word can be both useful (when you want it to work) and annoying when you don't.

When you begin a list by typing 1 then press the space bar or tab key, and type in text, Word will automatically change the paragraph to a numbered list when the ENTER key is pressed. This will mean that the next paragraph is automatically numbered as 2.

If you do not want Word to continue sequentially numbering any following paragraphs, you can turn off Auto Numbering. To do this, go to Tools-Auto Correct Options. In the Auto Correct dialog box, click the "Auto Format As You Type" tab. Deselect the "Automatic Numbered Lists" checkbox, then click OK to close the box.

To turn Auto Numbering back on, go back into Tools-AutoCorrect Options and recheck the "Automatic Numbered Lists" option.
