1. Choose Replace from the Edit menu.
2. Click on More. At the bottom of the Find and Replace dialog box, you'll see a Format button and a Special button. The Format button allows you to replace formatting (e.g., one font for another, bold for italics); the Special button allows you to replace special characters (e.g., paragraph marks, note reference marks).

Also, you can use the contents of the Clipboard as the replacement. This is useful if you want to replace a short word or phrase with a longer phrase or paragraph. To use this feature, you must first create the replacement text somewhere, then copy it to the Clipboard. When you use the Special button as mentioned above, you'll see Clipboard Contents as one of the choices (or use ^c).

Yes, there are several options on the reviewing toolbar for previewing your doument.

Choose the options from the drop-down menu in the Display for Review box.

If you want all of the choices in the menu bar to display when you mouse click on the menu (that way you don't have the expand arrow at the bottom), do the following:

* On the Tools menu, click Customize
* Click the Options tab
* Checkmark the Always show full menus

NO! When you remove the checkmarks by the items in the SHOW menu, it just hides the revisions. The revisions will show up the next time that the document is opened either by yourself or by the reviewers.

There is only one way to remove revisions and comments and that is by accepting or deleting them.

When you insert a drawing object in Word, a drawing canvas is placed around it. The drawing canvas helps you arrange a drawing in your document, and it's especially helpful if your drawing consists of several shapes.

While you can easily delete the drawing canvas on a case-by-case basis (drag the drawing object off the drawing canvas, select the drawing canvas, and then delete it), you may wish to prevent it from being created to begin with.

To stop the automatic creation of the drawing canvas

* On the Tools menu, click Options.
* Click the General tab
* Under General options, deselect the last option; automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes.

To prevent reading layout view from opening automatically go to the Tools menu, click Options, then click the General tab, and then clear the Allow starting in Reading Layout check box.

The Normal template is the default template that is used when you start Microsoft Word or click the New Blank Document button. Some Word commands include an option to modify the Normal template (see How do I change the default margins? and How do I change the default document font?). If you modify the Normal template, all new documents you create will include those modifications. The Normal template file (Normal.dot) is stored in the Template folder (contained in the folder where you have installed Microsoft Office). If you delete the Normal template file, Word will create a new Normal template file with the standard document settings the next time it starts. For more information on Word Templates, see What are Templates? How do I use them? How do I make a template?

A quick way to move around Microsoft Word 2002 documents when you're focusing on one type of information, such as tables, is to click the browse buttons on the vertical scroll bar to jump from one table to the next.

To select a browse option, click Select Browse Object on the vertical scroll bar (bottom right hand corner), point to any button on the Browse Object palette to see its description, and then click a button to set it as the browse option.

When you select a button other than Browse by Page, the browse buttons on the vertical scroll bar turn blue to indicate that you've set a special option. To find the previous or next instance of the object you've selected, click the Previous or Next browse buttons. If you forget which option you've selected.

2. Click on the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
3. Under Replace As You Type, clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlink check box.

If you didn't turn off AutoCorrect before you started typing and now you have a document full of hyperlinks that you don't want, you can turn them off, either one at a time, or all at once. To turn a link off, right-click on the link, select Hyperlink from the pop-up menu, and then select Remove Hyperlink. To remove all links from the document, choose Select All from the Edit menu or press Ctrl+A, and then press Ctrl+6 to remove all hyperlinks.

If you are asking this question, you have probably typed text then spaces in an attempt to make columns. This will only work if you use a "fixed-width" font (e.g., Courier). This method is not advised, and you are likely to have other problems, especially if you try to change the page margins. If you are trying to make a table, then use the Table command (see How do I create a table?). If you don't want a table, setting tabs may work (see How do I set tabs?).

New documents open in a separate window (in previous versions of Word, a new document took over the Word window). You can switch from one document to another by choosing a document from the list on the Window menu or by clicking the document's button on the Windows Taskbar. To view all open Word documents at the same time, choose Arrange All from the Window menu. You can also switch documents (or applications) by pressing Alt+Tab. To see more rows of buttons on the Windows Taskbar: Position the pointer on the inside edge of the Taskbar (the pointer becomes a two-headed arrow when it is in the correct position), then click and drag its border toward the center of the screen.

There are some other options on the Shortcut tab. You can specify the folder Word points to when it starts (this setting can also be changed another way (see How do I change the default folder for Open and Save?). You can program a shortcut key sequence (click in the Shortcut key box and press the key combination you want to use). In addition, you can set the window size Word uses by default (maximized, minimized, or normal) and you can choose a different Word icon (click the Change Icon button).

1. Click on the Office Assistant, then click on Options.
2. Clear the Use Office Assistant check box.
You can also customize the behavior of the Office Assistant by checking or clearing the checkboxes on the Options tab. If you want to learn how to customize the Office Assistant, but it's not currently visible, choose Show the Office Assistant from the Help menu.

You will see TRK in the Status bar at the bottom of the Word document and the Track Changes icon on the Reviewing Toolbar will be orange.

You can control the startup behavior in Word (and most Windows programs) by adding one or more switches to the command line that points to the executable file. For Word, this file is Winword.exe, found in the Program Files folder where you have installed Microsoft Office. To change Word's startup behavior, you have to locate a Word shortcut icon that points to Winword.exe. These icons may be found on your Programs menu, on your Desktop, on the Quick Launch toolbar on the Taskbar, or on the Office Shortcut Bar. Some Word shortcut icons cannot be modified using the procedure outlined below.

1. Click the shortcut icon using the right mouse button, click Properties, then click the Shortcut tab.
2. In Microsoft Windows NT, click the Word program icon, then click Properties on the File menu.
3. In the Target box or the Command Line box, you should see the path to Word. This path is usually "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeWinword.exe", but this may be different in your installation.
4. At the end of the path, outside of the quotes, type one or more of the switches shown in the table below.
