Some MS Word Help Please

[Andy_con]

i use word every single day and like to think im very good at it but im struggling, really struggling

why is it when i copy one of the warning labels from "mixed" to "A-0006-01_P" all the text is missing?

I havent downloaded the files, but im going to hazzard a guess the text is in a textbox over the label?

 

[Andy_con]

ive tried messing round the order but doesnt seem to make any difference

 

[The Fatty]

No what I mean is, your selecting the backing image, but not the textbox that sits above it. to select both, use the ctrl button to select the image and the text box before cutting.

It's something to do with the grouping as when I ungroup and copy separately it works fine. The easiest way around it would be to just screenshot it and copy and past. You could f**k about all night and get it eventually but for the sake of a screen grab it's not worth it unless you need it in text format.

 

[Andy_con]

um but ive grouped everything so normally its one click to select all

but ill give it a go

 

[Andy_con]

no didnt work sadly

 

[The Fatty]

ok i have opened the documents, the problem is with the formatting - the text is there, its just further to the right. you need to reduce the line spacing on this text... expand the box with the tex in to the right and you will see what i mean...

 

[The Fatty]

the command you need to use on it is 'remove space after paragraph'. then reduce the line spacing on all text, then make sure the box with the text in is sent to the back.

your welcome.

 

[Andy_con]

oh ok and that command is?

sorry

 

[The Fatty]

here... also make sure you set the font to arial as it will default to calibri normally...

 

[The Fatty]

you making laser equipment?

 

[Andy_con]

Sorted, many thanks.



yes I build lasers, I also sell warning labels

 

[The Fatty]

sounds like fun! Whats the biggest you have ever made? I wanted to build a semi-buring laser from a blu-ray player, but havent got around it it yet! wanted it to burn images into wood...

 

[Andy_con]

Biggest? In actual size or power?



Www.laser-man.co.uk



I've built 24 diode lasers, £7k projectors, 5 colour projectors...



You really want to use a 445nm diode from a Casio a140 projector. They are 1watt in power and a nice low wavelenght for burning
