MS Word – Removing the Logo

So, a couple weeks ago, I wrote a tip about putting a logo on your envelopes. Specifically, you learned how to add a logo, graphic or text that would appear on all of your MS Word envelopes.

Unfortunately, I didn't address how to undo them, should you change your mind.

First, if you don't want something on a single envelope, you should be able to select it and simply delete it.

Now, for the subject, we really need to address permanently removing the information from your Word envelopes.

Basically, you need to remove the EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText/Quick Parts entry.

If you're using Word 2007, you need to remove a Quick Parts entry.

  • To branded cialis drugstore do that, you need the Insert tab on the ribbon, Quick Parts button, Building Blocks Organizer choice.

  • From the list, locate EnvelopeExtra1, select it and then click on the Delete button.

  • If you need to, click on the title of the Name column and Word will sort the entries alphabetically. Besides scrolling through the really long list, you can use the E key repeatedly to cycle through all the entries that begin with an "e."


  • After you click on the Delete button, Word will ask you to confirm your decision.

  • Click on the Close button to return to your document.

Now, for those of you with older versions of Word, you need to remove the AutoText entry.
  • Start with the Insert menu, AutoText submenu, AutoText choice (at the very top).

  • That should open the AutoCorrect dialogue window, already on the AutoText tab.

  • In the "Enter AutoText entries here" field, put in EnvelopeExtra1. That should bring it up without you having to scroll through the long list.

  • Once you can see it in the list, select it and then click on the Delete button.

  • Click OK to leave the AutoCorrect dialogue window.

Voila! Any new envelope will start out completely blank. It's just like you never had an EnvelopeExtra1

Making the To-Do Bar Yours

I don't know about you, but I really like the To-Do Bar in MS Outlook 2007 (it's on the right side of the Outlook 2007 program window).

I find I'm constantly using the Task List to see what's due and to see what's coming up in the near future.

At any rate, if you've grown attached to the To-Do Bar, but wish maybe one section wasn't displayed or you could see more than one month at a time, you may be happy to know that there are some options for you!

To see exactly what you can change, you need the View menu, To-Do Bar submenu, Options choice.

When the To-Do Bar Options dialogue window opens, you'll see three settings, because there are three sections on your To-Do Bar.

Let's begin by saying you can remove any of the three parts by unchecking it in this window.

Beyond that, you can also control how many months of the calendar should be displayed and how many appointments you want to be listed.

Check, uncheck and set the quantities as you like and then click on the OK button.

You'll instantly find that your To-Do Bar has been updated to reflect your requests.

At this point, we must discuss what might be an unexpected outcome. If you choose to show multiple months of the calendar, the calendar will take up more space. Outlook will then redistribute what space is left and you may find yourself with a vertical scroll bar in one of the other areas.

You get the idea. Space is limited to the size of your monitor and Outlook will accommodate your choices, but you may find you can't actually see everything at once. best price for cialis It could take some scroll work to get to all of it.

I'd say that's a small price to pay for such convenient information though, wouldn't you?!
