Your filename convention is, and must change.

See how the label of the dialog box changes?Īnyway. You can see that by trying to open or save a file, and typing a leading forward slash in the name box. I did some testing, Office 2011 has finally normalized how it treats that, it's own file dialogs now correctly recognize it as a path separator. At one point they were silently transforming back and forth between the Mac's traditional colon-as-path-separator (what the Finder uses) and the slash (what the underlying OS uses), at another point they'd create the file with the illegal characters in the name knowing that only their applications could re-open it.īut that doesn't change the fact that the forward slash is a path separator in OS X, and is therefore an illegal character in a filename. Microsoft has been variable about how they handled illegal characters in filenames from Office X to 2004 to 2008 and now 2011. Therefore the inability of Word2011 in Lion to do so is to be regarded as a problem. All previous versions of Word on Mac (that I have used) allowed for saving, editing and opening of Mac Word documents with a "/" in them. I have been using MS Word on a Mac since at least 1994. Open any word document on desktop 1 and it opens in desktop 1, irrespective of the application's desktop assignment. on desktop 2) if you restart your mac: word 2011 starts opening on desktop 1. Furthermore, on the same assignment of Word2011 (i.e. In relation to Spaces and Desktops: Word 2011 doesn't work at the most basic level.įor example: if you assign Word2011 to desktop 2, and you go to desktop 1 and open a word document, then it opens in desktop 1 and not desktop 2. According to my understanding of "Resume", this means that Resume in Word2011 does not work.Ģ. If you remove the ribbons in a document and place the document in a particular area of the screen and then close and reopen the document: it has re-added the ribbons and repositioned the document. If you’re not in Editing View, go to Edit Document > Edit in Word for the web. To close the header or footer, select Close Header and Footer, or double-click anywhere outside the header and footer area.

If Link to Previous is dimmed, check to make sure a section break was created. If the Remove Page Numbers button isnt available, double-click in the header or footer, select the page number, and press Delete.

In the first header of each new section, deselect Link to Previous. And also, for the quick option: I didn't know this feature and it works. Tip: To see section breaks and other formatting marks, go to Home and select Show/Hide (¶) to turn on the display of formatting marks. Thanks for the automator tip in relation to changing slashes to dots: i will try it out.
