Hi, I am a newbie and, ofcourse a Mother too. I am looking for a Chart to put
my kids name on it. I am also looking to put their chores on it and, give
them like little check marks to see how well they have done. :0)
If, you know of anything even as close to this? Please, Email me.I do use
Microsoft word.
Very much appreciative-
 
Hi, Thanks for the response. I wante basically a chart type of template. I
really wish the people responding? would be nicer. I was just reading some of
the other responses and, this is FREE. I won't take it.I said I was a newbie
and, I was talking in the sense of being a Mom of 3 kids. I am new with
Templates.I was also brought to a Microsoft page to leave a message for the
"Community". So, I didn't even know I left my message in 2 places.I will go
back to microsoft and, look back in the Templates where I was in the
beginning-I'll get my own answer.
 
Then you should have checked what this forum is for. Inane requests for
content, it ain't.
 
How can I when i never used this before and, i was linked here. Now, please
grow up and, please stop being sarcastic,ok? Thanks-
 
OK, *I* won't be sarcastic. It's a struggle, but I will manage...

You do not need a template, you need a "Table". You can look "Tables" up in
the Word Help, that will talk you through how to create one. You need three
or four columns: "Task", "Who", "Due By" and "Done".

We *know* you were "Linked" here, and we hate that as much as you do. But
we can't persuade Microsoft to fix their idiotic Communities server page to
get it right :-)

This forum is actually an NNTP News Group, the advertised purpose of which
is "Document Management" (i.e. The careful version control of very valuable
corporate documentation such as Defense Software specifications...)

Regrettably, the Microsoft Communities mechanism is sillier than a headless
chook, and dumps in here anything it doesn't know what to do with. The net
effect is that corporate documentation managers cannot get the help they
require because the newsgroup is flooded with basic questions; and our
highly-specialised long-document configuration specialists become frustrated
answering literally hundreds of questions a day from people who have not yet
learned how to use Word.

Doubly so because we ourselves have not used many of the things being
requested for years, and have forgotten how :-)

Sorry if we upset you. Thanks for sticking around...

Cheers

What a silly twerp you are. Look at some of the other posts, for heaven's
sake, or even just the name of the forum!
 
The Office Template Gallery doesn't seem to have anything quite like what
you want (though you might be able to adapt one of the templates you can
find by searching for "checklist"), but you might Google for something. For
example, http://www.familyfirst.net/parenting/checklistform.htm offers an
online form you can use to create a checklist and print it out.

The name of the "forum" (as opposed to the NG) is "General Questions." No
one who posts through the Communities is likely to be aware that it is
anything else.

You can chalk this fiasco up to the MVPs, I guess. When the Communities
interface was being set up, those who were designing it insisted that each
product group have a single NG designated as "general." As you may know,
word.general was deprecated by MS years ago (though it still survives on
many news servers and has a hardy existence in the wild). The reason it was
deprecated in the first place was that users who don't even know what
question to ask (that is, they are unable to define the problem or are not
familiar enough with Word to know the correct terminology to describe the
problem) would never look for a specific NG if they saw one labeled
"general," and the word.general NG had so much traffic that it had become
unusable.

At the time when this discussion was ongoing, the suggestion was made that
probably the word.newusers group was the closest thing we had to "general,"
but it already attracted so much traffic that we didn't want to add more. At
that time word.docmanagement had perhaps the least traffic of any NG because
no one really knew what it was meant to be for. John McGhie has defined its
purpose as he sees it, and probably he is right, but there just weren't very
many questions about "the careful version control of very valuable corporate
documentation such as Defense Software specifications," so it seemed
harmless to designate that NG as "general." What a disaster that has been!

The result is a mishmash of about 1% document management questions (through
NNTP) and 99% "general" questions.

Microsoft itself doesn't help anything. If a user goes through the website
to access the groups, the link for general questions in Word takes a user to
the docmanagement group.
 
Isn't that what I just said?

This newsgroup is designed to advise on the technical aspects of using
Word,not to give advice on the *content* of documents written in Word. It is
not the best place to ask your question, even if you get some answers.
Search the web for examples (using Google at http://www.google.com/ or
another search engine), or use your imagination.

It¹s possible that the MS-hosted bank of templates by MS and third parties
will offer something:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx

If not, it would be relatively easy to set something up using a table and
checkboxes from the forms toolbar or symbols choices.

It is frustrating that so many questions get dumped into this newsgroup by
Microsoft's Internet interface for the newsgroups. We don't need to call
neophytes names, though. We don't have to answer questions that are off
topic.
