I keep all my word files on a 8 gb USB jumb drive so that I can take them from one computer to another. I have all my templates and custom macros in one directory. I have a macro to attach the template to the documents.

The problem is the drive letter changes as I move the USB drive from computer to computer. Then I get an error and I have to use debug to change the drive letter at the start of each session. Is there any way to make the macro look for the template taking into consideration that the drive letter may change.

Thank you,

Hi,

I have a word document that is a membership renewal form that is sent out once a year...

I want to place a date (Year only) field on the form that displays the year that the form refers to ... eg the form is sent out towards end of 2008 for the 2009 calender year so I want to display 2009 then 2010 at end of 2009....etc

As I am currently doing this I want to automate the form so as anyone who sends them out in future does not have to remember to update for each year (as has been missed in past)

I have had a look at date field options but can not find a way of doing it.

Any help gratefully accepted.....

Cheers,
John

I just received an email from Microsoft about an Out-of-Band security update. What is an out-of-band update?

I'm pretty new to Word 2007 and am trying to put a document path on the bottom of each document (footer perhaps). This is so I can find where the document is filed. I have been exploring the Text, Quick "Picks," Category and Fields, but, so far, cannot figure it out. Help!

Thank you in advance!

Microsoft Outlook 2007 has a Search Bar that allows you to quickly search all fields of a message. Is there a way to limit the search to a particular field?

We have Windows XPhome on our computer and find that we need Xcell for some reports we have been asked to do. I have heard that there is a free download of Xcell from microsoft if you own a licensed version of windows. Is that true? And how would you go about getting it? I am also interested in learning Power Point and have been told that is also available for free download. I just need to know if what I have been told is correct or if I will need to purchase those programs separately for my computer. Thanks

Dear Westley, In an xcell worksheet, using the "find" icon initially, the settings are for "rows" and "formulas". I rarely search by rows and almost never by formulas. It would be far handier if the "initial" choices were already set to "columns" and "values" -- which is how I search 98% of the time. Q -- Is there a way to change the script so that the initial choices would be set to the way I most often search?

I've got a macro that searches through Word documents looking for broken bookmarks and TOC entries and generates a report so they can be fixed. The problem is I can find the broken elements, but I don't know what page they're on so I can manually find them and fix them. How do I find out what page number I'm on inside of a macro?

I've got a bunch of custon menu entries on my menu bar but I don't know which macro they point to. How can I find out?
