My language is right-to-left and not left-to-right like English.
When I'm trying to use the two columns layout (Page Layout->Columns->Two), the first column (beginning of the text) is the left column and it continues in the right column, although in my language the two columns should be swapped.
How can I fix it and swap the two columns?
From the Microsft Word ribbon (Menu), select "Page Layout"
Columns => More Columns
In the new window, check "Right to Left"
Check this link at Microsoft community
Go to the Page Setup dialog
Choose Layout tab
In the Section part change the Section direction from "Left-to-right" to "Right-to-left"
Click ok
In my MS Word, I don't get any LTR or RTL option in the Section part, it could be because I don't have any RTL language installed.
Hope that helps.
You should add language Arabic(Algeria)

I have a long table. Not realizing that headings inserted inside a table don't appear in the Outline View or the Navigation Pane (See Blom's answer to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_other/headings-do-not-appear-in-navigation-pane/c3ff186f-8363-47e2-9f46-8f2cf83d78b4), I put a bunch of Heading 1 and Heading 2 headings inside my table. Now I'm having trouble jumping around inside my document.
The brute force approach that has occurred to me is to split the table after every heading, and take the heading out of the table.
Any other ideas?
MS Word 2010.
This is a known issue and Stefan Blom's answer still holds:
It is a known limitation in Word that headings inside table cells won't appear in the Navigation pane. For what it's worth, the same thing applies to the predecessor of the Navigation pane, the so-called Document Map, in older versions of Word.
As you have noticed, Word properly adds headings inside a table to the TOC, fortunately.
If you want the headings to appear in the navigation pane you have to place them outside of tables, i.e. your suggested approach is the way to go.
If you still want the heading to appear like it is part of the table you can simulate that by adding a paragraph border around your heading. (Note: This still does not work if it is in a table cell. You must be outside the table cell.)
I had the same problem and found useful this alternative:
Select desired text inside the table and insert Bookmarks from Insert > Bookmarks:
Type a Name and add the bookmark :
Use Bookmark Panel (CTRL+SHIFT+F5) or "Go To" command to navigate inside the document
In my case, headings weren't shown because I mixed heading and body text. Example(black text: heading):
OR operator Displays records if any condition is TRUE
So I solved it putting the body text below
OR operator
Displays records if any condition is TRUE
I don't know if this s the right place for this, but I've been really struggling to get this done in word 2013, here's a photo of what I mean:
Screenshot of a Word document
See how the [5] and the [6] are? I want to be able to do something like that. I've tried many things but nothing worked. And I don't really know how to google this...
Maybe it would've been better preserved in Super User, but here the solution:
The list on your screenshot are end notes with square brackets:
Insert end notes:
Go the the References tab in Word and do Insert End Note.
By default the end notes should be numbers, if they aren't click on the small symbol in right bottom of the tab.
To get square brackets now, you have to do a Seach and Replace operation:
Press Ctrl+H.
Search for ^e and replace it with [^&] (see on screenshot, it's German but should be no problem).
Hint: For foot nodes you can apply the same procedure, but instead of ^eyou have to take ^f.
What you can also see, is a table of figures. How to create a table of figures:
You have to make Captions:
Go the the References tab in Word and do Insert Caption.
In the menue "Caption" which pops up you can select the label and further options.
You have to create a Table of Figures:
In the same word tab there is the button "Insert Table of Figures".
In this menue you can choose the layout and further options.
Version: This guide works for any version of Microsoft Word, however the menues (how to find them) can differ in older versions (2003 and older).
The Search&Replace Operation works for every version.
I am using Word for Mac 2011 and I try to define a custom style which I want to apply on single words or parts of a paragraph among my document. But it seems to me that there is only whole paragraph styles. So if I define my new style, let's say underlined and a yellow background, the whole paragraph is directly set to this style.
Anyone know, how to approach this?
Ok, I just found out:
Select text > Format > Style > New
Then select "Character" instead of "Paragraph" for the option "Style type".
I was looking for the same thing today, but in Word for Windows (Office 365 version)
The solution is the same but the steps towards it are different:
Select the inline text
Open the Styles Pane and press the New Style button (left button on the bottom row)
"Character" is now an option for "Style Type"
I have a report displaying rows with text fields with variable length (I use the Can Grow option). I use a Box for the details. My problem is that when the last text field cannot fit into to the box on the bottom of the page, a empty space is left, and the new row begins on next page. Unchecking the option Keep Object Together on the fields, didn't solve the problem and if it did I don't want the content of the text field to break across pages.
My question is: Is it possible to auto-re-size box height depending on rows content, so I can avoid empty spaces at the bottom on every page (doesn't look very nice).
Thanks in advance.
There are three things I can think of that might help.
As you said, you can limit the maximum size of a "can grow" field. To the right of the can grow checkbox (in CR designer) there is a "Maximum number of lines" value that defaults to 0 (no limit). You can set that to however many lines you like.
The details section itself has a setting for "keep together" too -- right-click the details section label and go to the section expert. If you uncheck it there the details section will start on the bottom of the page and continue on the next one.
Look at the page footer section, it is printed at the bottom of each page, and if it is large, it takes away from the available space for the data. Group footers, if you have any, could give you the same problem.
Is there a good way to make horizontal lines actually line up in Crystal Reports? I can select text and field objects, right-click, and do various sizing and alignments. But that's not an option with a line. I need header fields underlined (and for whatever reason, our standard says to NOT use underline), and I want them to line up across the report.
It's a pain, but I've found one way to do it.
Both field and line items have a right-click menu option called "Size and Position". It doesn't take just any value, especially with Snap to Grid turned on (and doesn't always take exactly what you choose with it not turned on), but you can carefully make sure each line has the same Y value (for horizonal lines). And, if you want them to align and be the same length as the field headers they are underlining, compare each header field X and Width values, and make each line also match that.
In design mode, you can add horizontal guide lines by clicking in the ruler (the vertical one) fields will get sticky to it.
You can also select several fields, right click "Align > Bottoms" and them move the fields to the guide lines.
You can also format a single field to "lock its position and size", then Align the others to it
Another way is to select all the lines you want to left align, move them to the far left with the left cursor key until they hit the left margin and keep pressing the left key until they all align themselves. Just a trick!
Put a bottom border on the header Text Object.
