manuals and other things
I have Office 6 manuals (93-94) I guess after that there were no more printed manuals. I wish there were, it was easier to find what you were looking for in a printed manual than the "help" file that comes now.
My biigest annoyment with Word's knowing more of what I want to do than myself was in using numbered lists it assumed when I continued numbering that the numbers were out of sequence and indented much morte than I wanted. then I set a style for a subject heading that specifically said not italic--what did word do? It italicized the text! For the longest time I couldn't get the page nuymbering to work right in the page footer, it had a mind of its own as well. I finally had to number the out of sequence numbers manually, and probably set the indents manually, page numbers had to have a page break section to work reasonably right.
As someone said the easiest way to get in or out of overtype is to push the insert key on your keyboard, menus or looking for the ovr symbol is not as obvious. In fact, I didn't know of any menu options or DCing the OVR on the toolbar. I now have to re-revise my document and put it into the company template, more fun.
