[[Excel 2010] How to share or export custom table styles]

I don't know how Excel 2010 works, but in Excel 2003 you would save your design in a file named book.xlt and then, with Excel closed, move it to the installation folder XLSTART. Or just open the existing book.xlt and edit it anew.

If you don't want to use this style all the time, save it as a different template and call it at will from File/New...

[Excel 2007 front print issue]

If you print a document from Word that contains those fonts, do they come out right when printed from various computers/pninters?

And if not, if you embed those fonts in the Word document, does that make the difference?

I think the pdf document is embedding the fonts. And I see that, up to Excel 03 anyway, Excel does not embed fonts.

See http://excel.tips.net/Pages/T001969_Embedding_Fonts_in_Excel.html for more on this, and a possible workaround. Whether the issue is embedding or not, the bottom line seems to be that Excel is not terribly good at handling fonts, and your non-standard fonts may be driving it past its limits.

[Extra Spaces when pressing Enter at end of info.]

When at the end of a line of info, and I wish to go to the next line, I press Enter so I can enter data on the next line. However, when I do this I get a double space whereas if the data I'm entering goes to the next line as I'm at the end of the line it only single spaces.

If that makes any sense to you I'm hoping you could explain what is happening. Thanks a bunch, Uncle Dewey

I think you're referring to paragraph spacing. Word uses paragraph styles to control such things. You can switch to a style that has different spacing, or you can modify the style you are using.

If you hit ctrl-shift-8 to reveal non-printing marks, you will see whether only one paragraph space is involved. If so, it's definitely a question of the paragraph style.

[MS Word feature similar to a Workbook in MS Excel 2003?]

Does any version of MS Word have a feature similar to a workbook in MS Excel 2003? That is, a single file containing multiple documents preferably accessed by clicking on a tab.

Not that I'm aware of, but I only go to Office '03. But you can approximate it in two ways. You can use the Document Map to navigate your choice of headings level, or you can use the Master Documents feature. But if your docs are in any way complex, there have been many warnings that master/slave documents are very prone to corruption and data loss.

Oh, and another way is by hyperlink, either within the document, or if these are documents you frequently are in, you can put the links in a custom menu or toolbar. You can link to a place within the current doc or in a separate doc. If it's within the current doc, you can get there via bookmarks. Plus, you can write or record a macro to execute these tasks, and then assign it to a hotkey combination. That would make it very quick.

I'm still thinking. You could record macros that go to different Sections of a document, and then create a custom toolbar for each of them. Now, if you divide your docs into sections, all you would need to do is click the toolbar icon to navigate there. That's very much like the Excel function. All that's lacking is the display of section names.

[Changes to the Normal template in Word 2003]

The only thing that I think that has changed since this began to happen is that I installed Windows Office Live Add-In. Even that I have disabled this toolbar, it is still happening. And since I use word in a daily basis, it is very cumbersome to change it to my preferences every time I open it.

Is there a solution to this? And is it related to the Windows Office Live Add-In? And why is happening in my three computers, with three different OS?

I had very similar problems (maybe exactly the same; it's been a while and I'm not certain). The answer was to uninstall the Live Addin. MS actually came out with an add-on that broke the install.
