This was a great exercise for me. I've never done VBA in Word before. I'm probably going to automate a bunch more of the laborous actions I need to do in Word frequently.

In Word I do this a lot with images:

1. Set wrapping to top/bottom
2. Make image equal body width
3. Set image to follow text
4. Set image below text
5. Turn off allow overlap
6. Lock anchor

I finally decided to write some vba to do this:

It should work with any number of selected objects.

If you add this to the "Normal" template you can access it in any Word document. I also added it as a button in Word's toolbar. #vba #word #msWord #msOffice #scripting

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Accidentally hit the CONTROL key and SPACEBAR together while typing in MS Word, and was startled when my computer blurted out the word I was typing.

I knew TTS was possible, but I really didn't expect it to happen from a typo.

Irony abounds, as the word I was typing happened to be "accessibility"...

@workgood I would be interested to know how well Wine / Bottles is with a recent Microsoft Word (and Microsoft Excel). Either version 365, 2024, or 2021.

Before anyone asks: I almost exclusively work in #LibreOffice, but also have to often exchange documents that have to *exactly* look like they look in the MS Word of the sender/receiver. That's why I have to use MS Word sometimes.

I've long known that the online version of MS Word does not maintain visual parity with the desktop version when viewing documents, but not displaying certain characters is next-level sloppy... #MSWord #Microsoft365

Wer bei #Word das Formatvorlagen-Trennzeichen (auch "Style-Separator" oder "unsichtbarer Absatzwechsel" genannt) verwendet, flucht vermutlich seit ein paar Tagen, insbesondere, wenn das zusammen mit Nummerierungen passiert. Die sind dann nämlich plötzlich verschwunden.
Der Fehler ist Microsoft seit Ende Januar bekannt, bislang gab es aber noch keinen Bugfix.
Durch Zufall bin ich eben über einen Workaround gestolpert: Schaltet man in Word den Überarbeitungsmodus ein, erscheint die Nummerierung wieder. PDF-Export und Drucken funktioniert dann ebenfalls wieder fehlerfrei.
