In MS Word, click the Tools menu, then click options.  Click the Edit tab, then make sure the box is checked for the item "Typing replaces selection".

I think the easiest is to control X it into Word, select the text, do Format>>Change Case, select the text, control X it and paste it back.

Just hit Enter to start a new line in either Word or Notepad.\n\nIn Word, you can tell you're at the bottom of the document if you see a small horizontal line towards the bottom left of your document.  If your cursor is near that line, then you're pretty much at the end of the document and you won't be able to type any more until you hit Enter.\n\nYou can always keep on typing - you don't have to hit Enter at the end of every line.  Word (and Notepad, if you make a change to one of the settings) will automatically wrap text to the next line if you run out of space.\n\nNow if hitting Enter doesn't work, then there may be something wrong with your keyboard.  You can always try to hit the Enter key near your number pad - it does the same thing as the Enter key near the letters.

I think it's corrupted or something. You might need to re-install word using ur Microsoft Office CD.It always works for me! n well, if you don't have it.. ask a friend for it.

sure could have; kids do it all the time, unknowingly of course.\n\nis it only in Word?  check Tools-Options in there.\n\nhave you restarted the machine?  that should reset it.  if that doesn't work, go into Control Panel--check Accessibility options and the Keyboard options.

What they all mean is put your pointer on "Start" and left click. On all programmes go to "Microsoft Word" (so long as you've got it!) ****and click again, and you're there!\nEach time you finish your job/task/whatever you call it, click on "File" at the top, go to "Save as....", click, then fill in the name of the piece then click on the "Save" button.\nI think you'll find that just about covers it. Once you get used to it you can experiment withe the size, font and all the rest of it at the top. Enjoy!\n*** If you haven't , it's Start - Accesories - WordPad instead !

<br>\n\nThat leaves a space in between text or objects. You would just copy and paste that how ever many times you need it.

Nothing to worry about, it happens every once in awhile.\n\nHow to fix it:\n\nView>Text Size>then which one you want\n\nOR\n\nhold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and use your wheel on your mouse

highligt the text..do this by clicking the left mouse button, holding down and running the mouse over the text.  then let go and the text should be black or blue..or some color other than the original (highlighted). \n\nnext right click over top of the highlighted text. Click on copy in the menu.  Go to wherever you want to paste it and right click and click paste in the menu that comes up.\n\nOR\n\nafter highlighting the text on the keyboard push control (ctrl) and C at the same time (ctrl and c) this will copy the text.\nthen go to wherever you want to paste it.  click in that area and push control (ctrl) and v at the same time (ctrl and v)...this should paste the text!\n\ndon't worry about feeling stupid..it happens to everyone..\nhope this helps..usually it helps if you know two ways.

Do you have Windows Explorer? If so, just highlight the words in the box that automatically comes up (like in a search box) and hit your delete key. I'm assuming you are talking about the list of "history" words you have typed in a box.

This is due to the 'insert' key having been depressed (accidentally). \n\nNotice that the 'OVR' marker on the status bar in MS Word has changed to black.\n\nThe insert key and its function are used for editing purposes and when the 'OVR' is black, you will OVerwRite all the words ahead of the cursor. pressing the 'Insert' key again will toggle the insert function, allowing you to insert (between other words) type again.

In MS Word.. go to VIEW and click it.. a menu drops down with a whole bunch of stuff. click on the TOOLBAR or actually you do not need to click on it but when yo go to it, another side menu appears.. Make sure that the following are clicked.. DRAWING, Standard, and Formatting are clicked and those menu bars will show up if they are not there already... HOPE that helps.. IF NOT.. ask again but state EXACTLY what you have done and exactly what you have and do not haves in the menu area

I assume you are referring to MS Word's default setting that capitalizes the first word of every line whether you like it or not. If that's your problem, here's the fix: click on <tools> <autocorrect options> <autocorrect> now,  uncheck the box in front of <Capitalize first letter of sentences>  This should put you back in control of your own capitalization. Good luck.

you have to click on it, then type to make it work, or highlight the text you want to format, than change the size etc\n\ni know this seems a bit obvious, but you would be surprised at the amount of daft mistakes some of my colleagues call me with
