Just had a look at Word 2k+3 and it's a whole lot easier  :)

(My company uses 2K so I mostly stick with that as I'm easily confused  :-[    )

  • Choose Format, Styles and Formatting
  • In the panel that appears (usually on the right) there's a Show dropdown
  • Select Formatting In Use
  • Where text of a particular style has had its format changed, the style will be called e.g. Body Text + Times New Roman or Body Text + 12 point to indicate the changes.
  • Right click the rogue style and you can select all instances of it
  • That means you can apply a correct style immediately to everything
  • You can also delete a style + whatever and it'll automatically format the text using the base style

Of course, if you didn't use styles in the first place, you'll have a whole heap of them to go through  :)

Oh, and the Check Formatting Consistency tool is rubbish  ;)

Dead easy  :)

This is for Word 2k, I'm sure it works on 2k+3 and 2k+7:

  • CTRL-F to open the Find/Replace box
  • Click the Replace tab
  • Click More to expand the list of options
  • Click Format and select Font from the drop down
  • Select the evil intruder font
  • Click in the Replace With box
  • Click Format and select Font from the drop down
  • Select the lovely replacement font
  • Click Replace All - if you're brave

Though you'd need to do that for each rogue font.

You can do a find & replace for a font size in the same way.

Ways of getting around having to do this in the first place:

  • Use styles
  • Copy an external text via a text editor and Paste Special, Unformatted so you don't bring in dodgy external formatting
  • Use styles
  • Did I mention styles?

As far as I know you can't tell Word 2k to only allow a doc to use certain styles, and you can't prevent it from changing the format of text in a particular style (except by making the style autoupdate, which isn't the same thing)

I believe Word 2k+7 can, sort of, but haven't used it enough to be sure.

I also believe that 2k+3 and 2k+7 have ways to check formatting consistency though how that works I have no idea.  :-[

General Software Discussion / Re: Excel formula help?
« on: June 28, 2007, 12:14 PM »
Hmmm, Excel doesn't like records being spread over more than one row. Can't think of an easy way off the top of my head.

How tricky would it be to create say 5 extra columns for any extra websites and move the extra websites into there, so there's a single row for each person?

I remember seeing him in the first round of auditions - where they mix in the hilariously bad acts with the real talent.

This nervous, sweaty man in a cheap suit shambled onto the stage, looking exactly like you'd expect an underachiever who worked in a mobile phone shop to look.

He then said he was going to sing opera, and I just thought 'how bad is this going to be?'.

Except when he started singing it just blew me away; you could see he was taken to another world when he was singing.

By the time he'd finished, I was crying with emotion. Though I did cry for Connie. And the baton twirler. And the guy looking after his brothers kids. And a few more besides ...

Incidentally, why were Simon and Piers so nice to all the acts? Even the really bad ones didn't get the mauling they'd get on X Factor.  :tellme:
