Inserting frame in Word 2007
in [Beginners]

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 14 Mar 2010 12:06 Yes, Word can see text in tables for the purposes of TOC, cross-references, etc. (Word 2007 can also see the text in text boxes, for that matter, but that ability is not backward-compatible.) Because frames are sort of wrapped (though not in the drawing layer as text boxes are), they have to be anchored to a text paragraph, and they can sometimes wander in ways that are a pain to control. Tables (provided they don't become wrapped) will stay where you put them because they are in the text layer, part of the text flow. There are many excellent reasons to use frames, but when tables can be used instead and serve the purpose just as well, they are preferred. -- Suzanne S.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 14 Mar 2010 16:19 It's backward compatible to Word 2.0 AFAIK. -- Suzanne S.

From: Kenb on 14 Mar 2010 21:04 I am trying to do documents with different pages and I cannot even get wordpad to give me a format to create a header and footer, page numbers the menu bar does not have any information.

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 14 Mar 2010 22:16 Wordpad does not have that capability. You need to use Word See the article "I want to include the chapter number with the page number in the Header - how can I do this?” at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/ChapterNumber.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
