did u hit "justify" on the margins

Posted By: mandy on 2007-09-01

were your margins "justified" when you made the macro? justified margins will make words space out to make it all even on the left side. delete the macro and try creating it again.

side margins, top margins or what??

Type a test page.  Set those margins on and see how many lines you get per page.  Don't know if it is 2 inches on sides and 2.5 on top and bottom or what.  But see how many lines you get per page and divide it by 2.00 and see what your cpl is.  But if they are crunching reports onto one page, beware you will probably lose money unless you have many, many reports of under 20 to 25 lines.   But no one knows how many "short" reports you get but my guess is not many and so with one or two full pagers, you will lose all your profit.  That is why it is best to be paid for the production you produce.    But that is me. 


My margins are changed!

Just went into my acct for a clinic in which I am an IC being paid 12 cpl in MS Word.  I have not worked for a week.  Today, I notice the margins are changed.  Does this change what constitutes a line (isn't it 65 characters per line)???  I go into their system and type on their MS Word via HSI. 


I am dumbfounded.


Got my margins out of wack, crud
Can anyone give any assistance? My left hand margin with every report I am typing shows up with what looks like a small picture of what I am typing. I have to automatically take with the arrows and move the margin all the way back over so it will not show what looks like a book on the side. My page is divided in other words, instead of 1 page it is showing up as 2. I hope this is making sense and I hope someone can assist this damsel in distress. Thanks!
It depends on the margins and font (nm)

Did you try changing your margins in Page Setup?
After you make the changes save that document as something...ex:  Template Form.  Then when you work on that account you can pull your form, use it, and when done save it as whatever it needs to be.  That way your Template Form will always remain the same.  I don't know if this is what you wanted or not..hope it helps.
I need help in MS Word. I have a new doc that requires almost every page to have different margins.

I used to have an account that we could type Control and L and that would make a page break with the margins for a letter.  I don't know how to create this.  I looked into macros in Word and am totally confused and have no idea what to do.


Can anyone help me figuer out a way I can assign Control and L for the letter margins and control P for progress note margins.  I'd really appreciate any help


Did you look at the margins and formatting and see how your basic template is set up? Never had this
s
Alt-P-M, but you can't adjust margins without a section break.
Not sure what you are trying to do.
Need Word 2007 shortcut to adjust margins, as I can't see the ribbon. Thanks! nm

Yes, watch margins/font. Unlike 65 chars line, this
I was paid on gross line for years, and I found that it worked out to be about 2 cpl higher than 65 chars line. Thus, 8 cents per gross would equal to roughly 10 cents per 65 chars. However, as other poster stated, you have to make sure it's a 12-size font and 1-inch margins
Gross line was 7, not 8. Depending on font size and margins
7 cpl is about 8.5 cpl. 
If you have Word Perfect, it is easy. Just open any document, default the font and margins and do a

You can do a comparrison on gross lines versus 65 character line count by opening any document you have and counting lines both ways. 


I have almost always been paid the gross line and still am right now.  No matter what the margins or font is, all documents are converted to 1 inch margins and 12 Courier font.  You do not count blank lines.  I make an average of 0.08 a gross line, which the way I am paid would average out to about 11-12 cents a 65 character line.


Hope this helps!


Ask what font, font size and margins are
Then you can figure out how many characters would be in a complete line of text. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well. :-( I worked for one place that had a small font size and small margins. So it did not work out for me as each line averaged closer to 70 characters, and there were not many lines that had only one or two words on them because of the set up.
