Word 98 ( version 8) question

2003-03-01 Thread Malcolm McCallum

Hi wamuggians,

Since I retired :-) my wife has been my secretary for the little bit of 
work I still do. She does a very good job but has run into a problem 
that neither she nor I can solve.


She has been able to print envelopes perfectly and suddenly cannot. 
When she does an envelope the font size is such that she requires a 
microscope of almost electron size to read it. :-( The font looks 
about 3.) We have been into Envelopes and Labels>Envelopes>Font>Size 
changed to 12 clicked 'default' and printed envelope and we are back to 
the microscope again.

HELP !!!

Mac

Lord keep me open to others' ideas,
wrong though they may be.



OS-x tip

OS-X tip from my Panorama list Sorry if its already well known


One last nugget I would like to mention that you can find in OS X that may
have escaped some. If you go to the System Preferences and International
panel and click the Input Menu tab, there is a checkbox next to the
Character Palette item. If you click this on, you will have an icon now in
the menu bar just to the right of Help which will give you access to this
really great utility. The Character Palette is where you can view and
select all the font characters available in all your fonts including the
unicode items and a whole bunch of special symbols. You can view all the
available symbols for instance and click on the one you need. Then click
the little down arrow at the bottom and a panel drops down with a font
selector. Now if you click the box to show only fonts containing selected
character, the font menu will only contain fonts with this symbol. Once you
find the character and font you want, you can click the Insert button to
drop it into the current application document.

How to get there under OS-X 10.24

>Go to International Preferences, click on Inpu Tab, slide blue
>scroll capsule to the top of the scroll bar,find "Character
>Pallette" at top of list of of languages, click check box at left,
>see icon appear in menu bar at top of screen, experiment with it,
>enjoy.
