What I received has a chracter that looks like a hyphen with a downward stroke at the end. I believe it is a non-printing character. I can find it in my character map and insert one, but I cannot copy and paste it into the find/replace box. I want to delete all these characters.

Can someone point me to instructions for placing a link to a Word doc in an existing custom menu. There are several documents I update repeatedly, and it would be nice to be able to simply click on the menu, then on the item and have it load.

I have adopted a huge application written in Word VBA. There are probably 50 custom menus and submenus. I understand VB and have no problem maintaining and updating the code, but I have not figured out how to identify the template and module that is linked to a custom menu without making guesses in the code, installing breakpoints, crossing my fingers and running the apps. ... 4 12/19/2008 11:42:21 PM How to get custom styles onto a custom word 2007 ribbon tab I've been converting my company's word 2003 templates into 2007 templates and using the Office 2007 Custom UI Editor to convert the custom 2003 toolbars into a custom 2007 ribbon tab. The whole process so far has been fairly straight forward so far, even getting macros on the ribbon and assigning custom images to them has been fairly painless; however I have just hit a problem and was w... 3 12/19/2008 3:24:01 PM Keeping Word Maximized? Hello, One of my coworkers is having trouble opening Word in a Maximized window. Lately, whenever he clicks on the Word shortcut on his desktop, Word opens in a small (2" x 2") minimized window.

On the Table Design tab Cell Size group there is a splitButton control "TableBordersMenu" displayed on the right hand side under the "Shading" gallery control. This control is displayed in "normal" size and displays a label "Borders." If I try to use this control in a custom ribbon application the lab... 1 12/9/2008 1:07:28 PM Word 2007 Quick Access Toolbar Issue I seem to be losing my third party command buttons from the quick access toolbar.
