When I make a change of style (Font or Paragraph) for a selection of text (example: change the font or text orientation of the selected line), Microsoft Word 2013 apply this change for the whole document in an illogical way.
To fix this issue I need to press 'redo (Ctrl-z)' and word 2013 apply the new style to the text I selected only (it's okay now) but I need to do it every time!
This process has become stressful for me and for my computer CPU especially if I edit a large document because Word 2013 change the style for the whole document.
I never had this problem with Word 2010 or 2007.
If you are applying style from "Style" group of "Home" ribbon, then application of these styles are based on "Style type:" e.g:
1) Paragraph
2) Character
3) Linked (Paragraph and Character)
4) Table
5) List
So, it depends which type of style you are applying and by default it apply on complete target.
The easiest way to save working of CPU and eliminating the stress, is to apply format using "Font" group of "Home" ribbon and if you rapidly use same formatting on different part of document then you can use Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V command to copy only formatting of one text to another.

We use TinyMCE as the wysiwyg editor for our content builder. You can drag and drop a text module and once you click an edit button an TinyMCE instance will open. This works really well.
Problem is now that the builder is made for designers so a lot of the times you add a text module just for a 1 word heading or other cases where you only have one block. (one h1, one p etc.) You can also see this behavior in the official demos: Just add an lonely h2 heading, select all text and start to write.
Now Tiny MCE has the default behavior that if you select the complete text (which is almost always the case if you for example change an 1 line / word heading) and you start typing you will lose your formats completely. ( in our case: color, font-size, font-weight, line-height etc.)
This makes editing an heading for example really painful. Best workaround so far is to leave 1 character to not lose the format and then delete the character in the end.
I never saw that behavior in other editors so my question is: Is there maybe an easy setting or workaround to avoid this?
If there are situations where you want a root element to be something specific (e.g. <h2>) you can use the forced_root_block setting on that instance of TinyMCE to force a specific element:
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-filtering/#forced_root_block
Even if you delete all text the new text will be wrapped with that root element. See this TinyMCE Fiddle for examples:

I think this would address your one line issue?
Adjust List Indents function in Microsoft Word 2007 not working once the list goes past 10.
For heading 09 I open the Adjust List Indents function (By right clicking) and set the "Text Indent at" value to .05. This works. However for every heading after 10 following the exact same steps does not work.
This is not an indent issue, its the alignment in your numbering style. Take some time to study this:
http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/NumberAlignment2007.htm#NumberedLists
A related MS Word skill which will leverage your efforts by an order of magnitude is to learn how to define custom List Styles and assign them to custom Paragraph Styles. There is a very good tutorial here:
http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html
and the analagous bullet list version:
http://shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets20072010.html
I would add one level of efficiency to those tutorials:
You don't need to create a Paragraph Style for each list/bullet level. You only need to assign a Paragraph Style to the first level. When the Paragraph Style is applied to text, the List Style will be applied correctly to all levels based on the indentation of the list items.
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"
When a form text field is inserted in a Word document, the grey shaded length is about 5 characters long. How can this length be increased?
Allthough it is a rather crude measure (and I don't recommend it), you can set "Properties -> Default Text" to as many blanks as you want the size. But this comes for a price: as long as you move into the field by pressing TAB, all blanks are selected and get typed over. When you use the mouse, you click the cursor anywhere into the field and start typing ... so your entry might be pre and post fixed by a number of blanks that you have to trim away in e.g. an exit macro.
I recommend old form fields as the last resort (i.e. there must be a good reason to use them) and would prefer (in that order)
native Word2010/2007 fields (text or Rich text - perhaps not backwords compatible)
legacy ActiveX fields (compatible with W2003)
Legacy (old) form fields
I want to edit multiple lines in eclipse, but I can't find any short cut or Plugin. In Geany I just press ctrl+alt+up/down I can add / edit multiple lines.
Maybe this example can explain what I mean:
var text = "myname";
var addr = "myaddr";
var age = "myage";
I want to edit text above into:
var my_text = "myname";
var my_addr = "myaddr";
var my_age = "myage";
The text above is just a simple example, but sometimes I have many lines of words that I have to edit its prefix.
Press alt + shift + A to Toggle block selection (Toggle block / column selection in the current text editor), this will let you write vertically in eclipse, then you can easily do this.
Go to Window->Preferences.
Find for binding in text box surrounded by red box.
On OS X, the key combination for multi-line edits in Eclipse (or STS) is option/alt+command+A
You can try the following plugin,
https://github.com/caspark/eclipse-multicursor/releases
With this multiple occurrence of same text can be selected and edited. This is similar to multi select functionality available in editors like Sublime and Visual studio code.
The Eclipse 4.24 (June 15 2022) will integrate it (See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=576377):
Multi selection down relative to anchor selection (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-J)
Multi selection up relative to anchor selection (e.g. Alt-J)
End multi-selection (e.g. ESC)
Add all matches to multi-selection (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-Alt-J)
Multi caret up (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Up)
Multi caret down (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Down)
Thanks to eclipse contributor !
The Eclipse 4.22 (Q4 2021) equivalent of Geany would Alt+Click on the lines you want to edit in one go.
Eclipse now supports
Multiple text selection
Support for multiple selection has been added to Text Editors.
Multi selections allow most edit operations (text replacement or insertion, extend selection to next word or to next line, copy/paste...) to apply simultaneously on all ranges.
Multiple strategies are available to enable multi-selections:
Turn a block selection into a multi-selection using the To multi-selection command,
Add a caret with Alt+Click,
Use the new Select All button on the Find/Replace dialog.
So check if this would work in your case.
I know this is an old post, but I still want to share my way of multi select and editing. However this way is restricted to only the same variables across the file. Simply highlight the variable to edit, right click, choose Refactor->Rename. Then edit the variable and it will also edit the same variables across the file. Hope it helps..:)
Press key - { Alt + Shift + A } You will see A [+] symbol in IDE then use this symbol as drag
