Remove extra

Here is another good one.
For all of us who down load the web pages, we have this <picture> and the like.
All down threw the pages.
Want to get rid of all those <???> or what ever shows up. Right?

Try this in Word.
Open the document, go to Edit: Replace
In the Find What: text box type: \<*\>
don't put anything in the Replace with box.
Check: Use Pattern Matching
Now replace all, and you have no more of those pieces of HTML hanging around.

Reverse two words

Question: I have a name in my document or a couple of words that I want to reverse.

I would like to have the Last name first - with comma then first name.
It is currently first name then last name.
Is there a quick way to do this?

Yes, it is Word you know.

In the find and replace under Edit.
In the Find What: text box:
Type: (Jesse) (Braswell)
or of course your name or the two words, but put them inside parentheses.
In the Replace With: text box:
Type: \2, \1
There is a space after the comma.
Make sure you check " Use Pattern Matching" center bottom of the dialog box.
Using the slash with 2 then 1, tells word to take the words it finds an reverse them.

All Files

WordPerfect users like to change the 3 character extension to the person's initials that they are doing the document for.

Here is a great little macro that brings up the open dialog box so it looks for all files and not just doc files.

GoTo:
Tools: Macro on the Word menu bar
Type: FileOpen
Click: Create (button)
Type the following:

Sub Main
Dim dlg as FileOpen
GetCurValues dlg
dlg.addtomru = 1
dlg.name = "*.*"
If Dialog(dlg) then fileopen dlg
end sub

Okay maybe this is good for a lot of us if we are working with a lot of different text files.

AutoText toolbar

Would you like to have (at your finger tips - not need to type them anymore), Attention line, Header/Footer, Closings, Mailing Instructions, Reference Line, Salutations,   and Subject lines?

Right click your toolbar (any where on it), select Autotext.

Now you have a new toolbar, click the down arrow and select the item you want in your document where the cursors is located. If you would like to see them all at once, click the first button on your new toolbar.

Autotext

Assuming you've already created a logo, insert the logo into a
document.
Select the graphic and choose Insert, Frame. Now, select
the logo (frame and all) and choose Edit, AutoText. The logo should
appear in the Preview pane. If it doesn't, you probably haven't
selected the entire logo with frame. Once the logo appears in the
Preview pane, name it and click Add.

Now you can insert your logo anywhere and move it anywhere if
you have a frame added for versions before Office97/2000.
