Had a question about Word 2007. Wasn't sure where to post this, no other sub forum it fits. Just get lost in off-topic. It is "programing" a word document?

Anyways, I am working on creating a newsletter, to later be converted to PDF.

Using mostly Text Boxes to put everything where I want it.

Problem is, so many options are not available when I am working in the text box. Or I am doing something wrong.

For example, I can't do a custom or edit a table of contents. Noticed I can't do drop caps, columns, ect.

Is this just a annoying thing with Word? Or 2007?

Any thoughts or insights?

    Hello Ron

    I don't have Word installed on this computer but Open Office which I use will allow custom font table editing and drop caps etc. For Drop Caps you would format paragraph and choose the drop caps tab.

    You can also export to pdf directly from open office writer. I know this doesn't help you but if no one else answers, this maybe one time to cave and just download open office.

    Why are you trying to use a text box? Can't you just set your table width?

    Have a Great Day!

    Thanks for the reply Larry.

    I've had Open Office for a long time, I just prefer Word.

    Well, I've learned that Word doesn't see text in a text box, (which is kind funny), that is the reason I can't do much with the text. I find it very odd, but it is what it is.

    I am just going to use a table when I need to work with the text, so guess problem kind of solved.

    Again, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it
