Find some answers to your Microsoft Word XP questions.

Q: How do I get my table back to normal from choose an AutoFormat?

  If you have chosen an AutoFormat that you don't like, but you've done this quite a few steps ago.

Go to the Table AutoFormat dialog box. From the Table Styles list, select Table Grid.

This will return your table's formatting back to normal.
   

Q: My page border isn't printing on all four sides of the page!

  In the Borders and Shading Options dialog box, choose Measure From: Text. You'll see that this option will position the border better around the text and also print the complete border on a page.

Make sure to check if the border is inside the printing area, using Print Preview.
   

Q: Where's my page borders after converting a document to pdf?

  I've noticed that Convert Doc doesn't keep all the aspects of your document, once converted.

It, for example, don't convert Page Borders or font attributes such as Small Caps, but for other things, it works pretty well!
   

Q: Where is the Drawing Toolbar?

  The Drawing Toolbar does not show at default, you'd have to turn it on!

When turned on, it will appear at the bottom of the screen (above the Status bar)

Click View ► Toolbars ► Drawing, or click the Drawing Button  on the Standard toolbar.

  Place your mouse pointer over the word "WordArt" on the title bar of the toolbar.

Click the Format Word Art button on the Word Art toolbar.

Choose Gradient to fill with a shading of two or more colors of you choice, with a Transparency setting and some very nice Shading Styles.

Choose Texture to fill with a very real-looking texture of your choice.

Choose Pattern to fill with a wide range of different patterns, you can even choose the color of the patterns.
   

Q: Why is my color not showing correctly and sometimes comes out funny?

  The difference is in the WordArt Gallery style that you chose.

Some Styles has a 3-D effect to it which makes the color changing a different story! - and a bit confusing!

Remove the 3-D effect from your WordArt object and notice the difference in color.

► On the Drawing toolbar, click the 3-D Style button.
► Click on 3-D Settings. (another toolbar appears)
► Click on the 3-D On/Off button.
