Word 2007 Q&A: Check Boxes, Hard Spaces, Find & Replace
March 27th, 2008 | by Loren |Where do I find the check box for forms in Word 2007?
Go to the Developer tab, Controls group, Legacy tools, it’s under the Legacy Forms.
What is the keyboard shortcut to go to the next paragraph?
Ctrl + up or down arrow.
Why use a hard (or nonbreaking) space (Ctrl + Shift + space) or hard hyphen (Ctrl + Shift + dash)?
To keep text or numbers together, so they won’t wrap at the end of a line. An example is phone numbers, where you would use a hard hyphen between the numbers. The whole number would wrap, rather than part.
Why use line breaks (Shift + Enter)?
Line breaks allow you to add extra paragraphs of information to numbered or bulleted lists with having the extra paragraphs be numbered or bulleted.
The text I imported into Word 2007 is full of tabs (or section breaks, line breaks, your choice) I don’t want. How do I get rid of all of them?
On the Home tab, Editing group, click Replace (or Ctrl + H). Click the More>> button in the bottom left of the box. Click the Special button and choose Tab character; it should show up by Find what:. If you just want to get rid of all of them, leave Replace with: blank and click Replace All. You can undo this action if it doesn’t do what you hoped. Use with caution: if you get rid of characters that are integral to your documents appearance, well, you’ll have a mess.
How do I vertically align text on labels?
With the table that defines the labels selected (click the plus sign just above the upper left corner of the labels), go to the Table Tools at the top of the screen. (Table Tools won’t be there is your cursor is not in the table or the table isn’t selected.) Click the Layout tab, in the Alignment group are buttons for centering. The alignment will only be applied to the labels you select.

Hello Luis – Word does have some other date fields that do what you want. They can all be found through the Insert tab, Text group, Quick Parts button, then Fields. In the Fields box, they can be found in the Date & Time Category.
CreateDate field will display the date the document was created. This would work the best for documents that are created and finished on the same day.
PrintDate will show the date when the document was printed.
SaveDate will show the date the document was last saved. This is better for documents that are worked on over time.
You can specify a format for each of those date fields in the Fields box.
If you find a date field that works for you, you can make it easier to use by saving it as a Quick Part.
Hope this helps! I would be curious to know if any of these work for you – please comment again about what you find.

my problem is I can’t get rid of the date on written memos. It always displays the current date, so if I want to see when I wrote a memo a month ago, it displays the current date instead and I’m unable to verify what date I wrote the original memo.

Hi Michelle – you should be able to turn the Paragraph marks on/off through the Home tab, Paragraph group, the button looks like a paragraph mark. If that doesn’t turn them off, check in the Office button, Word Options, Display category: the paragraph marks can be turned on to always show through there.
