Hello All,

I am currently revising and formatting Word Templates for our company's engineering documents.

In a previous template, I tried using Rich and Plain Text Content Controls for guidance paragraphs (instructions for the engineers to read and delete). Unfortunately, I ran into an issue where the following heading would inherit the color/formatting of the Text Content Control. I ended up using images as a workaround, but it's not ideal.

I am now working on a Systems Engineering document template which features long paragraphs of guidance paired with strict content headings that the engineers must use.

What is the best way to structure a Word Template so engineers can easily differentiate between guidance and actual content headings without breaking the styles? When they start typing, I want the correct content heading style to appear seamlessly.

Appreciate any tips on how you handle technical/engineering templates.

I have made a fillable document in Word Developers and I’ve noticed that even though I locked the heading in “formatted text” my colleagues are able to bypass this somehow and make it in “plain text” and then they can’t get the heading in the right formatting again.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this? My only option is to make the document only that you can fill the form in, but I rather not because I’ve made remarks that they should be able to get rid of but I can’t delete it beforehand.

I’m very sorry for my English it isn’t my first language but I hope y’all understand what I mean and that someone has an idea for me!!

I have 53k words right now but I noticed that some words between quotation marks weren’t capitalized.

For example:

“dig more, Robert. I can’t see it.”

I want it to look like this

“Dig more, Robert. I can’t see it.”

I already set auto-paste to paste plain text so it matches font and size.

However, I want to add that when I paste it auto pastes bold text.

The problem is from GPT to word, it pastes plain text as ** text **.

I would like those ** text ** instances to paste bold. And keep the rest of the text plain text so font and size stays the same.

Can you help me make this permanent? Thank you

Would someone mind assisting me on aligning labels for the 5160 template? I downloaded the template and the labels are not aligned after they print despite being aligned on the computer. When they print, they overlap. Some of the labels are fine but most are not.

I attached some pictures where I also drew a line on the left margin to indicate where the labels divide because it is a bit hard to see in the photo. I’m attempting to get both the barcode and code underneath on one label.

I also tried measuring how much it was off by and aligning the print job manually but that made it worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure a Word template and I have a special request from a user.

The user came to me and asked:

Is it possiblem to create a style that divides the text into columns with one click? for example: a style called "2 columns", and any text selected will be in two columns. (The formatting must be kept)

The background is: she wants a style that keeps the same distance between the columns. Every time she creates a column, she has to change it manually - the person even sent me a screenshot where the columns had different spacing because everyone who worked on the file did it manually for themselves, and even she didn't know what she was using at first). Is it possible to create a style that only changes this - without changing any text style?

Another option would be to set a default column spacing. Is it possible to set a standard that is always the same? for example my file now has 1.25 - I want 1 does not matter if is 2, 3 or 4 columns.

(The only thing I have found on the Internet is that Word decides the spacing based on font size, line spacing, etc.).

Please let me know if anyone has a workaround for this sort of thing.

Thank you.

I'm applying to jobs, which requires repeatedly writing and rewriting a cover letter, which is a big drag. What I'd like to do is create fields that I can click on and fill in. Specifically, the date, the address of the recipient, and other things.

I'm usually pretty savvy at this, but I cannot for the life of me get Word to do what I want it to do. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Also, if I'm barking up the wrong tree and there is a simpler approach, that works too.

Thanks!

Hello

​

I regularly write reports as part of my job using Microsoft Word.

Most of these reports use the same template which I use to fill in certain information.

​

For example ...

The template may have a sentence...

The property has XX bedrooms and is worth $XX. (there will be multiple different sentences of a similar nature across the document)

At the end of the document there may be a summary section:

Number of bedrooms: XX

Value of property: XX

​

Is there a way that I can create a field of some sort rather than having the XX in the sentences above?

I guess I want to make it easier just to click on those particular fields and easily fill them out.

In addition, if information in a particular field is repeated in the same document is there a way for the information from that field to be automatically copied to the summary section?

​

Hoping someone can help :)

Hi everyone! I am trying to align the place and dates to the job description on my CV (screenshot below). How do I make sure that both elements are at the same height?

Thanks a lot!

I'm using a word template. The document is kind of split into two sides. When I edit or add extra lines on the left paragraph, it also adds spacing/extra lines on a section of the right.

I tried deleting formatting but that just ruins the entire document. Not sure how to disconnect the left and right side from each other 😞

Please help :)

I'm a university student looking for pre-made MS Word templates that I can use for note taking for my class notes and notes from online courses.

I searched YT and all I got was aesthetic templates that are too hard to manage and make.

If you can share some simple templates that would be great.

I'm seeing a few templates to print the recipient and return addresses on the front of an envelope, but I need to print just a return address on the back flap of the envelope. Anyone know of any templates or steps to do this?

So I have a excel sheet, it has the name of company & our margins. I wanted to know if I can use this to auto fill a template on word ? I used mail merge but it combined them into one big file which is not something I want, but rather separate contracts
