Hi:
This is my first time here, and I hope I'm doing things
correctly. If possible, CCing my email address would
ensure that I see any replies.
I recently had a hard drive failure and lost all 37GB of
contents. My computer was repaired by a tech who
re-installed Office 2000, but Word now has at least one
difference that I'd like to correct/return to the way it
was, if possible.
Before the HD failure, I could "nudge" things -- Text boxes
or other Drawing objects -- in very small increments, in
order to position them exactly where I wanted. I could
also start -- position when starting to draw, for example
-- an item exactly where I wanted.
NOW:
* When I use nudge, it moves in large increments, making
exact positioning impossible and
* The drawing objects can't be placed/started wherever I
want -- such as in between lines of type -- but instead can
only be positioned one one spot or another, but not in
between those two spots.
For example, I was trying to use a wide line to overprint
and black out something on printed copies by running them
back thru. But I couldn't get the line to appear exactly
where I needed it -- it would only be positioned in
certain, exact specific places -- one of which was just
above where I needed it, and the other was just below --
but NOT in between.
Is there a way to change the increment in which "nudge" is
graduated -- to make it smaller, so that the selected item
barely moves -- so that you can really position it EXACTLY
where you want it?
Thanks!!!!!!
