That's a cool trick! Is it the same as a Paste Special > Extended Metafile?

Hi Mitch
I must admit, I brought over my templates from Word 2003 and they work just fine.

Hi Julie
I would like to encourage your chapter to use this forum, since the functionality was specifically asked for by several chapters, and we would like to stimulate discussion between members.
As for event management, I know that the SoCal chapter uses Acteva (www.acteva.com).
Best

Hi Dom
These are quite tricky in Word. Try this.
1. Open a new document.
2. Set your left margin to, say, 3"
3. Set the document to 2 columns, with a 0.25" spacing
4. Type your first heading
5. Insert a continuous section break immediately after the heading
6. Type some body text
7. Insert a continuous section break immediately after the body text block.
8. Type your next heading
9. Insert a continuous section break immediately after the heading
10. Type some more body text, etc.
You can now go back to the heading sections and make them one column, so the heading text will spread across both text columns.
To add call-out boxes - as seen in the Shipley book, add a text box, no border in the left margin. Set the text box internal margins to 0" all round. Set the left position to be 1" to the right of the page. The text box should be set to move position with text.
As for page numbers, I suggest that you only use the 1st level heading, e.g. "Page 3-27", and make sure that your level 1 headings always start on a new page.
If you want to insert artwork across multiple columns, use frames - see my "Word Power" article from the APMP Journal on my Wordman Archives page.
Email me at dick.eassom@smawins.com, and I'll send you an example. Once again, this is not the easiest layout for Word, and I suggest that you do not let authors use this - only your production staff.
I hope this helps

This depends on whether you want to track numbers of wins, or contract dollars awarded. RFIs would count only in the former.
We only track contract dollars awarded vs. contract dollars lost, so we do not include RFIs. ID/IQ RFPs are also problematic, since no actual contract dollars are awarded until the Task Orders are won.
I would suggest that tracking contract dollars awarded is more useful.

For those of you using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, there is a free spell checker add-in, ieSpell, available for download at www.iespell.com. It provides a "Check spelling" feature by right clicking, and the ability to look up words on Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia.
Very cool...

And "Yes" in Safari - right click on any word with a red dotted underline for a list of suggestions!
