Caption Control in Microsoft Word - The definitive technique

When to use caption commands   teachers/how-to/Pages/insert-caption (video)

With the caption commands, you can automatically insert labels, such as Figure 1 or Table 1. Word 2007 keeps track of the numbering. For convenience, you can also enable AutoCaption (which automatically inserts a caption when you add a picture or table). You can also quickly insert a table of all the figures in your document, or add a text box over a picture so that the caption and picture can be moved together.

Way too much detail about keeping captions with pictues: keep-with-caption

How to copy Word Tables into Excel spreadsheets

It doesn't take long to discover that copy and paste is useless since every paragraph or line feed in the table becomes a row in Excel.

To prevent this behaviour replace all the "paragraph marks" and "line breaks" with "$$$$"; copy and paste your table normally to Excel then  replace the $$$$ by the ALT+Enter line feeds.  Presto!

Here is how:
  1. In most versions of Word search and replace click More / Special / "paragraph mark".
  2. Click in the replace box and type $$$$.
  3. Click Replace All.
  4. Repeat to replace "manual line break" with $$$$.
  5. Select the table or cells and choose Copy (or CTRL+C).
  6. Switch to Excel.
  7. Click on the top left cell where the table will be pasted.
  8. Choose Paste (or CTRL+V)
    Warning: if you want your text to look like the rest of the Excel document, remove the formatting by using Paste Special / Unicode Text.
  9. Search and replace the $$$$ by CTRL+j *
  10. Admire your Excel document, the text is in the same location as it was in the original Word table.
Warning: if you use hyperlinks in your word text, make each is alone in a cell because because that is how Excel needs them.

Restrict duplicate data using Excel Validation

This is a nice little trick that shows how to adapt of Excel.
To apply a validation rule that restricts input values to only unique values, do the following:

  1. Select A2:A8 (the cells you’re applying the rule to).
  2. Choose Validation from the Data menu and click the Settings tab. In Excel 2007/2010, click the Data tab and choose Data Validation from the Data Validation dropdown in the Data Tools group.
  3. Choose Custom from the Allow dropdown list.
  4. The Custom option requires a formula that returns True or False. In the Formula field, enter the following expression: =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$8,A2)=1.

Using Open Office Documents in Word 2003 and 2007


for office 2003 users

If you have Office 2003, Download and install the Sun ODF Plugin should just work.You can download the Sun ODF Plugin from here

For office 2007 users

  1. First you need to Install Service Pack 1 for Office 2007.
  2. Install Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office.
  3. Open ODT document via File > Open, or by double-clicking the ODT file and when prompted for the application to open it with, choose Word.

If you don’t have administrator privileges to install software, you can try an online converter such as Zamzar or Media Convert. You can also upload ODT documents to Google Docs orZoho Writer.

If you want to open ODT documents locally but want to stay away from MS Office, try the lightweight, cross-platform Abiword or the full-blown suite of OpenOffice.org.
