Note: This tip does not work with the MS Office Suite 2007 programs that utilize ribbons in place of menus and toolbars.

Have you ever noticed that many of the custom MS Office toolbar buttons you've added have the exact same image?

I have! For example, I added a button that takes me to the New window you see when you use the File menu, New choice in MS Word.

Unfortunately, it's identical to the New button that opens a blank document from the Normal template.

So, what can you do?

Well, change the button image, of course!

Yes, you read it right. You can change the button image all by yourself!

To change a button image, you first need to open the Customize window. (Either right click over a toolbar and pick Customize from the bottom of the pop up menu or go to the Tools menu, Customize choice).

Now, go to the specific button you wish to change and right click.

From the pop up menu, go to the Change Button Image submenu.

You should find a selection of images to choose from. Pick one and then click on it.

Finally, close the Customize window.

(If you decide you want the original image back, simply repeat the process and choose Reset Button Image from the menu).

So, there you have it. MS Office with your own "special touch." Happy redecorating!

When you find that your header is almost overlapping the first line of text in your Word document, you do not need to make your header smaller; you need to increase the distance of the header text from the rest of the content on the page. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to View | Print Layout.
2. If the page ruler is not visible, go to View | Ruler.
3. Go to View | Header And Footer.
4. Move your mouse along the white area of the vertical ruler until it becomes a double-headed arrow and a ToolTip appears that reads cialis 20 mg cost italic”>Bottom Margin.
5. Click and drag the bottom margin until your header text is the desired distance from your document text.

Sometimes a header or footer overlaps the margin so that it prints too close to the top or bottom edge of the paper. When this happens, you need to increase the distance of the header or footer text from the edge of the page. You could use your mouse to adjust the top margin as you did to adjust the bottom margin in steps 4 and 5 above, or you could use the Page Setup dialog box, which lets you adjust the header and footer at the same time. For example, to adjust the header and footer so that both are one inch from the edge of the paper, follow these steps:

1. Go to File | Page Setup.
2. Click the Layout tab.
3. Click the up arrow of the From Edge: Header box until you reach 1″.
4. Click the up arrow of the From Edge: Footer box until you reach 1″ and then click OK.

Have you ever felt frustrated when working with MS Word's tabs? I mean, you're trying to set up your tab stops, but you're finding it difficult to ensure that they are placed properly between the margins.

You've got the ruler displayed (View menu, Ruler choice), but it's still a bit of a pain to double check that you've got it "just right." It's easy to get lost in all those eighth of an inch marks or the even more abundant millimeters.

So, the next time you find yourself in the old click, hold and drag routine cialis 100 mg to place your tab stops across the top ruler and you become frustrated with the placements, give this quick trick a try!

Before you click on the tab stop to move it, hold down the Alt key.

Yep, that's right. The whole trick is in the Alt key.

With just that one extra key, you'll turn your usual display of tab stops (like this one):

Into a clean display like this:

What you have here is an obvious and easy to read placement guide for your tabs. (The tab stop clicked is 2.5" from the left margin and 4" from the right margin).

In place of the ruler, you'll be able to read the distance the tab's current position is from the left and right margins, which allows for an exact placement.

While holding the Alt key down, drag the tab stop back and forth across the ruler. You'll find that the measurements adjust to your every move.

No more getting lost trying to count the millimeters, centimeters or a fraction of an inch. With a quick tap of the Alt key, you'll have Word doing the measuring for you!

Okay, so yesterday we discussed the placement of graphics (for example, company logos) into the header of an MS Excel worksheet.

Now, if you're a Word user, you may have wanted that same ability in your documents and you may have took the initiative to look for that Insert Picture button found in Excel's custom header window.

But, when the Header/Footer toolbar opened, you didn't find the button, did you?

So, what now?

Well, believe it or not, but it's no more difficult to insert the logo into a Word header (or footer, for that matter) than it is in the body of the document.

That's right! It's basically the same process, but let's review it to make sure everyone is up to speed.

First, you need to get into the header/footer section.

If you already have an established header or footer and are in the Print Layout View, you can quickly double click in that area and it will become canadian cialis active for editing.

Otherwise, you can use the View menu, Header/Footer choice.

Either way, with the header open, you can proceed with the graphic insertion.

With the cursor in the header, go to the Insert menu, Picture submenu and then select what type of graphic you're inserting.

Find your graphic and insert it as you would any other time.

Close the header.

Poof!

Your logo is now in the header (or footer), just as you imagined!
