Outline Numbering Made Easy in Word 2000!
Many people have problems working with Outline numbering in Word. The truth is, it is so simple, that you won't believe it.

Outline numbering can include bullets too.

Reset
One problem is caused by not resetting the numbering schemes. Every time you use Bullets or Numbering, you should go through each scheme and hit the RESET button, if it is available. This resets your bullets and numbering to Word's default and in no way effects your current documents.

Formatting Specific Areas
Suppose you want to have just several pages of your document outline numbered…

If you have not yet typed your text:
Go to Format-Bullets and Numbering, choose an outline numbering that does not have headings. Hit the Customize button. Click on each level in the left-hand column and set the indents and space between numbers and text as desired. Hit Ok.

To use the first level of that outline numbering, your text must begin on the left margin. To use level 2, hit tab or use the Increase Indent button on the toolbar, and then type your text. To use level 3, hit tab again, and so on. Use Shift-Tab to decrease your indent to the previous level.

If you have already typed your text:
First select your text, and follow the directions above. Then indent your text as necessary. This works best using the increase indent button.
Opening A Workbook At Startup!
If some of your users spend much of their day working in a specific workbook, you can teach them how to designate that workbook to open each time Excel launches. All they need to do is place the workbook (or a shortcut to the workbook) in the XLStart folder. This technique also works with network shortcuts.

You'll find the XLStart folder in the same place as the Excel program files—typically C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office. After placing the file or shortcut in the XLStart folder, the user can just restart Excel to see the file pop open automatically.
Use subdatasheets to view data in a related table in Access 2000!
Subdatasheets let users view related records in two tables that share a one-to-many relationship. For example, in a library database, the Authors table and the Books table have a one-to-many relationship; in other words, each record in the Authors table can have more than one record in the Books table.

Follow these steps to insert subdatasheets to view the related records in these tables:

1. Open the primary table (in this example, the Authors table) and click Insert | Subdatasheet.
2. In the Subdatasheet dialog box, select the related table (in this example, the Books table).
3. In the Link Child Fields drop-down box, select the primary key for the Books table.
4. In the Link Master Fields drop-down box, select the primary key for the Authors table.
5. Click OK.
6. If asked, click Yes to establish a relationship between the two tables.

The subdatasheets are inserted in the Authors Table, which is indicated by a small plus sign displayed in the first column of each record. Clicking the plus sign will display the related records in the Books table.
