[RyanbabZ71]

Ok word isnt cooperating with me

 

I have a 90 page senior design report i am trying to finish up    

 

Ok heres the problem

1. Pages numbers

 

First page is title page - do not need page numbers

Next is summary and abstract I need i,ii,iii

Then is the table of contents and the pages start 1,2,3,4,etc

 

Why cant i do this i have to pic 1,2,3 or i,ii,iii

 

(I have XP version)

 

2. Trying to do a list of figures and tables

 

I have like 46 figures and dont wanna type them all out.  I try and go to create list of figures (insert) but it says no entries exist.  The font is 12pt Times new roman like the whole text

 

Can Anyone Help?

I would break the paper down... Your not going to beable to do both in one word file... Atleast as far as I know... Plus 90 pages is a very large word document... I would be making backups of that paper too... Make many backups... Burn it to cd or something.... I have heard of to many people losing their papers right after they finish... Happend to a couple of friends... If I can help anymore just drop me a message on aol... BlueSxViper

I have it saved everywhere (school, 2 zip disks, cd, and laptop)

Ok i figured out the table of figures page.  I had to change to a heading 3 for it to find them

 

Let me ask you guys will a times new roman body paper look funny with arial headings for figures and tables?

Ryan, try to keep the font uniform all the way thru the paper if you can.

 

SXViper is right, break down the paper into smaller groups and save, save, save.

There is actually a way to do it in word like what you want and so it will also generate a table of conents.  At work we have our whole business plan set up in word which is about a 50 page document and the TOC spreads over two pages.

 

Now, how one sets that up I have no clue

 

So, unless you can figure that one out I would just do it as seperate documents, plus they will load up a helluva lot faster than one ninety page document.

Ok finally it looks decent

 

I had to change the fonts of the tables and figures to get it to do a table.  For some reason it did about 90% of the tables and i had to type in the others.  I then went back this morning and changed the fonts back to the times new roman to match the body this morning.

 

I did break the paper down.  Summary and abstract are separate with the i,ii,iii,etc and thbe body 1-85 pages.  This should work fine

 

Microsoft programs are pretty easy to use except when it is something which is very important like a final senior design paper.  Id like to   Bill Gates

Why?  You should see some of the Word, PowerPoint and Excel ones I have.  

 

My last Budget presentation in P.P. was 2,300KB.  And that was a small one (only 84 slides) with minimal graphics, compared to some of the other budget presentations I've done.

You think that is big? You should have seen the files I got from my Prof for Operating Systems... Dam things were like 100+ Power Point slides... Had to always keep on top of my email or my account would go over its limit....

I was telling him to break it down because he wanted to number it... Plus it would speed loading of the file... Having a large file wouldn't hurt anything till you get up really high in the page count...

The one I did in the prior profit presentation was 266 slides.  

 

This one was soo small because they closed up a lot of stuff.
