Thanks Hans.

I will see if I can obtain this particular slide to attach. It may be too late to do so as it was re-typed and saved but I’m curious enough about this to see if I can replicate the problem simply by re-typing the slide as it was. If that problem still exists when I put it back the way it was, I will attach it here to see if an answer can be found to this mystery!

Thank you Hans. That works out just perfectly!

Ah..thanks once again.

Thank you Hans. Can I ask, how did you see this? I know Word has the show/hide tool but I don’t know how to pick up on these sort of things in Excel.

Thank you Hans!

I’ve just read about a method for doing this that is quite simple and doesn’t involve a macro. I copied my data and pasted it into Word; I then copied the data from Word and put it back into Excel…conditional formatting is now gone and the font colours have remained!

Thanks for pointing me to that Steve. I’ll need to play with it a bit as I got a “type mismatch” upon running it. I may be back here again with further questions!

What I do with almost everything that I am copying into PowerPoint is this:

I copy the data (it could be an excel chart, graph, Word text or table) and use Paste Special in PowerPoint. I then choose to paste the data as a picture. This preserves all the formatting perfectly and allows you to make the newly pasted picture as large or small as you want.

I’m using Word 2000 so I can’t say what the differences in the steps would be, but if you insert a section break at the very end of the last index page, you can start the footer denoting the page number based on the section that contains the body of the document. See my attachment for the example.

Thanks Jerry…here is where I have to admit to a stupid moment. I just this minute got my daughter’s internet connection up and running. What mysterious method did I use? Simply double checked to make sure her 26 hexidecimal encryption matched Mom’s…which apparently it didn’t! And to think I was on hold for 42 minutes to tech support. Good thing they didn’t answer!

Yikes! Apparently, jams and jellies don’t fall within the realm of pressure canning – at least as far as my book goes. All it lists for pressure canning is meats, vegetables, soups, and seafood (ick!). I guess the assumption is that if you are doing jellies, then you will be sealing them using the boiling water method. I even did a google search and came up empty. For what it’s worth, if you use the boiling water method, the recipe in my book for grape jelly only calls for 5 minutes of a boiling bath. The recipe also states that the jars should be filled to within 1/4 inch of the top rim for proper sealing. If you have a water canner and need the specifics (very simple) on what to do, let me know and I will post back.

I do a lot of canning each year and I’m a bit of a nut for safety so I really try to follow the “rules” of canning. I don’t know if you are finished your canning but something else to consider is this: the lids should be put in boiling water for about 5 minutes in order to soften the sealing compound before they are set on top of the jar. I have a wonderful book by Bernadin that gives a step-by-step set of instructions for pressure canning and boiling water canning (along with some great recipes) and for either method, this one step is required. I’ve never had a jar “not seal” following all of their instructions. I’ve attached their instructions specific to pressure canning if anyone needs them.

Thank you Don. I’ll check with this person when I see her on Tuesday if this would be of assistance to her. I know her files are in a very large folder along with others so she would need to move them to a temporary folder…I’ll be back to you with your kind offer.

Thanks Hans. Yes, I did check to see if any of them were protected and they are not. I also thought maybe they were really old documents that had lived through too many versions but that’s not the case. The oldest document is from about 2003.

At this point, the user is going to do the copy/paste thing as she uses each document but I just wondered if anyone else had seen this sort of behaviour before.

Thank you Hans. A nice, simple suggestion!
