Word Articles: Exploring Microsoft Word

Welcome to my website! Of late, this has become stale, and, in an attempt to tidy up, I have taken some of the guff that was here, about me and the site, and moved it to a separate page, herehere [link to my "About" page at Miscellany/About/About.php]. I have also taken the opportunity to rewrite the site in PHP, in the hope that (a) I will learn something, and (b) it will be easier to maintain. It is quite possible that I will break something along the way; should you spot a problem, please let me knowlet me know [link to e-mail the author at mailto:TonyJollans@mvps.org].

The php version is now 'live'. Please, please tell metell me [link to e-mail the author at mailto:TonyJollans@mvps.org] if you see any problems at all.

For the moment, all that remains on this Home page is links to the rest of the site. I hope that this enables you to find what you are looking for. Firstly, a couple of links to some contents pages, from where everything should always be available, and secondly some quick links to individual pieces - at the moment most pages can still be reached directly from here.

After far too long a gap, I have started to write a little more. Although not yet finished, I have begun an article on Word’s Normal Template, which, again, has grown like Topsy:

 Article on what the Normal Template is called, and where it is kept

⇒ Article on what the Normal Template is called, and where it is kept [link to Articles/Templates/Normal.php on this site]

Although complete at the time of writing, the following list of short pieces may not remain so. Those you see can be reached directly from here; all others are available from the index shown above.

If you're looking for something particular that's not here you may find it at one of the links on the left (where I have also included a couple of personal and family links); similarly if you want help or to ask a question. If you would like to make any comment, or suggest something I should explore, please feel free to e-mail mee-mail me [link to e-mail the author at mailto:TonyJollans@mvps.org].

If you share my interest in Word, perhaps you share my interest in puzzles, particularly thematic crossword puzzles. It's a long shot: my mind inhabits a small nether region of space, home to just a few lucky travellers. and rarely visited by outsiders. If you are similarly inclined, however, you could do a lot worse than pick up a copy of The MagpieThe Magpie [link to http://www.piemag.com]. The Magpie delivers a monthly dose of exquisite mental torture for a small subscription. It is UK-based and, to an extent, UK-centric, but it has subscribers in various parts of the world; there are some free samples available on the web-site so you can try before you buy. I promote this purely in the self-indulgent hope that it can pick up a few more subscribers in order to remain viable; you are in no way obligated and, if you get nothing else out of a visit, at least you get to see what I do in my spare time!
