What do you guys think? It's kind of a middle-ground version—it's got a few extra bells and whistles compared to Home Premium:

It should be totally fine (maybe even overkill) for whatever you usually do. As far as gaming goes, honestly, it doesn't really matter which version you pick.

Regarding that keyboard and mouse combo, maybe give Microsoft a call or check with a local service center in your area to see if they can track them down for you.

Actually, that whole process is pretty much automated. You just make sure every title and subheader is assigned its own specific Heading style (like 1, 2, etc.), and then you can just pull it all together automatically. In Word 2007, you just head over to the References tab and grab the Table of Contents from the left side.

If you haven't been messing with the Heading styles yet, there’s also that other option right in that same menu—under the "Add Text" section—where you can manually tell the program what's what.

But hey, if you really want to get hands-on and do it the old-fashioned way, you can always just play around with the text alignment settings. 🙂

Code:

If you're looking at a range like A1:A5 filled with grades, just swap out 🙂

You really need to pop a section break in right after page 5.

Or just give 🙂 a quick search on Google.

It’ll run you about $25, I think.

Wasn't that just copied straight from Excel into Word? 😬

As far as I can tell, you could probably get that same look in Excel just by playing around with Merge Cells 🙂

Insert 😬

So 😕

Code:

😕

Just grab some software, figure it out, and run the text through a spell checker.

You’re gonna need a section break, just Google it

If you just want it to look right visually without actually changing the underlying value for calculations, this is probably your easiest bet:

Just right-click, hit Format Cells, go to Number, then Custom, and type in 00.

Douglas Garcia52 said:aha, found it! if I save it as a Word 97-2003 (.doc)

I'm guessing a newer version like Word 2007 or 2010 can open that document, right? Or is it just limited to those older 97 and 2003 versions?

The thing is, whenever I try to save it that way, it just keeps defaulting back to .docx format

Well, you're making a solid guess 😬

The only real downside to doing it that way is that you lose out on some of those specific Word or Excel features that really need the .docx or .xlsx formats—though, honestly, I don't think you're even using those anyway. Still, a PDF is definitely the fool-proof way to go.

As for the person below, I think you might have messed something up slightly 🙂

Go to File, then Save As, and pick either the Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc) or PDF option from the Save as type menu.

Actually, if you want to save some time, you can just set it up so Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 always defaults to that older format—you know, the one for 97-2003—by heading over to File, then Options, and clicking on Save.

You could probably take that grocery list for the lasagna and try moving it over to Microsoft Office:

It’s always fun to give it a shot, I guess, but honestly? No program is ever going to give you a 1 on 1 perfect replica. They all end up messing something up during the conversion process.

Nah, especially if you're dealing with a scan. You’d really need something like Photoshop for that kind of stuff.

You should probably go with Home & Business, the retail version here in the States is actually cheaper and runs about $433.
There's a little trick where you can install that one on both a desktop and a laptop, provided the same person is using them, so definitely see if that helps you out.

I dealt with a similar setup at a previous company, and we ended up being pretty smart about it—we just bought Office for one main machine and put LibreOffice on the other two since it's totally fine for (most) basic tasks. 😉

Just keep in mind that Home & Student is meant for non-commercial use, and you're allowed to install it on up to three different computers in your household.

Also, quick question about page numbering... does anyone know how to make the numbering start at 1 on the second page? Like, I want the first page to basically act as page zero, but then have the second page show up as page one.
I mean, I know you can just force the first page to display a "0" and the second to be a "1," but what I'm really looking for is to have no page number visible on that first page at all. Hope that makes sense!

Just double-click the header or footer area, and once those menu options pop up at the top, look for the "Different First Page" checkbox to click.

If you need anything more complex than that, though, you're probably going to have to mess around with some Section breaks.
