Word 2007 Suppressing Page Number on First Page

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

One of my subscribers wrote to me recently asking how to suppress the page numbering on the first page of her document. She said she knew how to do it in earlier version of MS Word but the latest version was giving her problems.

Luckily, it is a very simple fix. Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Click on the Insert ribbon and select Page Numbers.
  2. Choose the format of your liking.
  3. Then, click on the Page Layout Ribbon.
  4. Click the arrow in the lower right-hand corner of the Page Setup group and select Different First
  5. Page from the Layout tab that of the dialog box that appears.
  6. Click OK.

That’s all there is to it. It really isn’t all that difficult is it?

Word 2007 Auto Text

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

 


AutoComplete has been disabled in Word 2007 due to the enormous quantity of Building Blocks (the expanded successor to AutoText) that would otherwise cause AutoComplete to occur just about all the time.

To force completion after typing the first four characters, you’ll need to press the F3 key. This will work with any Building Block, not just AutoText. But, it will work only if there are no other entries that begin with the same four letters.

Some users are finding it useful to use AutoCorrect entries instead of AutoText entries as a work-around, and to purposely create short names that match what they were typing in Word 2003 and earlier. There is still no AutoComplete display, but typing any Word separator (space, period, comma, etc.) will trigger that automatic change from the short name into the expanded form.
