atw: Re: Re-Office 2007 - Master Documents

Because I am editing documents written by Word amateurs, I find their
numbering corrupts when I open their documents on my machine.  As the
documents are not actively attached to a template, or are attached to normal
template, I fix the numbering on my machine via the styles, but when I
return them to the company to be converted to PDF, a few corrupt.
 
As I can in no way control the use of templates, I am thinking that the
solution is for me to do the PDF conversion.

I have found as long as you have the styles embedded in the document now the
numbering stays okay. Hey, I am not saying it won't happen. But it doesn't
seem to play up the way it used to...
 
Anyone found otherwise?

What about when you open the document on a different machine?

Numbering is now pretty solid in Word, the only caveat is that you MUST use
different numbering selections in the Bullets and numbering dialog for EACH
List Number style you have created in your document template.
 
I haven't had to use my clever little macro for some time with Word 2002 and
beyond...
I think the problems started to be fixed in a later patch fro Word/Office
2000.
Anyway.

not necessarily a good idea to go with Frame, given it is no longer being
developed.  Unless things have changed since last I knew, Frame is pretty
much history, so you will have to become an expert on Word at some stage
anyway - might as well be now.
 
Frame is also extraordinarily slow and clunky to work with compared to Word,
so once you get used to the workarounds for the Word issues - and there are
lots - Word is a much faster tool to use.  Numbering, and to a much lesser
extend, large document handling,  are the two big issues for me with Word,
and there are satisfactory, if annoying, workarounds for both.

Thanks everyone (Michael, Donald, Rhonda, Christine, Warren, and Peter) for
your helpful replies.

 

 I will tread very carefully with this ‘simple’ project… and continue to
keep pressure on management to convert to Frame J

 

Cheers
