In an earlier post, I provided instructions on how to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack (MOCP). You can read that post here. However, if you regularly share documents with people who use older Office versions and don't have the MCOP, here's a tip that might reduce the number of Office headaches you experience.
First, why would you want to hide text in Word? One scenario that comes to mind is you have sections of text in a long document that you don't want to permanently delete. For whatever reason, you want to keep these sections, but you don't want the document recipient(s) to see the text. Maybe you're thinking you might use this text when you rewrite the document for a different audience. If you have a need to keep but hide text, here's how to do it.
If you've recently installed Office 2007 and it keeps stalling, or runs very slow, most likely you don't have enough RAM to handle it.
Believe it or not, Microsoft actually used logic to organize the new "Ribbon" found in the 2007 edition of all Microsoft Office programs. In this article, I'll explain the logic behind Word's ribbon.
Personally, I prefer to use Excel to create forms. It's much easier to align fields and make the ends of horizontal lines "match up". It's also easy to prevent users from editing anything other than the fields you want them to complete.
