I have a small probelm with Word that maybe someone can help me with. I centered a paragraph (by selecting the text) and in the paragraph dialog selected a shadowed box to surround it. It showed up on the screen and the LW with rules under each line instead of a single box around the paragraph. What I do wrong? This is what I expected: ------------------------------------------ | | | Line 1 | | Line 2 | | Line 3 | | | ------------------------------------------ This is what I got instead: ----------------------------------------- | | | Line 1 | |---------------------------------------| | | | Line 2 | |---------------------------------------| | | | Line 3 | |_______________________________________| Any ideas? Where in the 3.0 manual should I look? Thanks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Bell Labs @ Liberty Corner, NJ ihnp4!io!howard

I'll be you set up the centered text wtih "string<return>string<return>" This makes each string its own paragraph, and you get exactly what you told it to do -- each paragraph is boxed. For what you want to do, you need to use newlines instead of paragraphs to break up the lines. Newline is <shift-return>. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ We live and learn, but not the wiser grow -- John Pomfret (1667-1703)

Boxed text requires the box to contain one paragraph only. Therefore, whenever you need multiple line text you have to use a soft return (Shift-Return) at the end of every line rather than a normal return (which ends a paragraph).

I have a simple question about footnotes in Word 3.01. I am writing a paper in which I use the footnotes as endnotes for my references. I use the autonumber feature, which seems to work perfectly. However, I occasionally need to refer to the same source twice. How do you get Word to insert the same reference number in a way that will allow it ot be updated correctly if I change the references around. Cutting and pasting the initial reference inserts a new reference number, not the original one. Is that the best I can do? Jon Zingman zingman@lll-lcc.arpa adthanksvance <-- An example of tmesis
