Word 2007 also:
Tools>Language has the setting for the entire document.
Format>Paragraph, Line and Page Breaks tab has a checkbox to suppress hyphenation for a selection.

I knew it was a labrador cross, because the article about the boy said so in the last paragraph ;-)

Me again

A good example of how placement of something on a page with just the tiniest of dividing lines can be misinterpreted.

This is a lesson for all us technical communicators. That’s why even the most basic user testing with a colleague’s quick look over can avoid such misinterpretations.

And don’t forget the user blames themselves when it is generally our fault

This placement of a photo about an adjoining story reminds me of a Womens Weekly cover many years ago. There was a photo of the pope with his big tall headware on. Then there was some text something along the lines of “Make your own easter hat “:Underneath was an imagine of a child in an easter bonnet. Clearly the photo applied to the craft story and not the pope.

Not sure how you know it was a Labrador cross.

Comment on Word: Show table grid lines by Rhonda

That will work too, Blake. But that ‘Design’ tab is only available when you click inside a table or select the table — it’s part of the ‘Table Tools’ pseudo tab above the main ribbon. Likewise, the Layout tab is only available under this ‘Table Tools’ pseudo tab too (i.e. you must click inside a table or select it before the ‘Table Tools’ shows). The Layout tab is a much quicker way of turning gridlines on and off.

I’ve added a screen shot to show the Table Tools pseudo tab and its related Design and Layout tabs.

In Word 2010 I don’t see any Table menu. What I did see was this:
Click on the DESIGN tab on the ribbon.
Click on the “Borders” drop-down menu under “Table Styles” and select
“View Gridlines.”

Comment on Word: Insert a multi page PDF by Jimbo

The free way to do tis (on Mac at least) is to use Insert Photo – Picture From File – then choose the page you want to insert.
