I would have posted on the Compatibility Part II but it is closed.

We open a Word 2000 template with a macro in Word 2007. Macro doesn't work. I click convert and the macro works BUT if I save this as a Word 2007 file or a Word 2007 dotm file the macro is gone (or at least not working) when I open it.

How can I save theis into a working Word 2007 template?

Thanks,

Peter

I have a question: I want to create a contract template. In the according text there are various places, where I would have to enter the customers name. How can I create a custom field (or something similar), where I can enter the needed information (e.g. customer name) and it is automatically updated at the various fields in the document?

I used so far the "Author" field available in Document Properties, but now I need the Autor for other purposes. Creating a custom entry seems not to work.

Justify vs. ragged right

Hi, I looked for a "contact us" page but did not find one, so here is my question:

I have read an article, the subject of which is justifying text vs. not justifying it. Although the first option seems more attractive to me and I always do it, it turns out this is not a good idea.

The article in question is this one: http://adamsdrafting.com/system/2007/05/03/justified-text-versus-ragged-right-text (it refers to other sources, which are mentioned there).

Could you comment that? I would like to find out how things are from the perspective of those who are on the other side of the barricades.

Great. But can these separate TOCs have different TOC level styles?

I am trying to use a TOC to provide a summary of recommendations, (where I have a recommendation style to identify each). I had managed to insert a TOC later in my doc sucessfully, however it had then changed the formating of my main TOC to be the same format as the new TOC. Not what I want.

Alex, this does seem to be the hot debate right now (it even came up in my letterpress class, where we were setting lead type and debating the merits of justification). I'd need to do more research to give you a really fantastic answer--but the fact remains that some text will never look good justified, especially if you end up with a lot of loose lines that have gaping gaps in them. But if I find out something more, I'll post it.

Stephen, I've spent some time experimenting with this, and here's the answer:

To have a different style for your subTOC, you need to manually change the TOC style for that level. For example, if you're using TOC 3 for your subTOC, you need to change the attributes of that style to match what you want. Note that you can't use different styles for the same TOC level. Each level keeps its style attributes throughout the entire document.

I hope that helps.
