Ever been staring at Word and thought, how do I create/merge labels? Don't lie, I know at least some of you have (it is the number 4 requested how do I topic). So, to those of you thinking, how do I "insert awesome ability here," I dedicate this post.
I introduce to you the top 25 how do I issues in Word as of today (25-50 coming in a separate post to keep you on the edge of your seats). This is some terrific work done by our friends in UA (Genevieve in particular, who built up the list) and I hope you find all these resources to be helpful. Some of these issues kill me because it means we aren't doing a good enough job getting the word out (booooo shameless pun).
As another aside, you will notice that Jon only answered a few question for his parents in the last post. I am answering 25 questions, some of which my parents might not have even known they wanted to ask. Clearly, 25 > 1, and I love my parents more than Jon.
