How to post a question on this forum

Attaching Files demonstrating your problem:

Why? Sometimes, a screenshot will be ambiguous and a Word file is required. Please consider posting an excerpt from your problem Word or Excel file, still showing the problem. (Not a picture or screenshot.) Word has many ways of producing effects that can appear the same in a picture.

Cleaning Up or Parsing Your Document: You can substitute "lorem ipsum" text for your text if you want or otherwise purge the document of proprietary or confidential information. Remember that this is a public forum. See Why a sample file is important for troubleshooting. How to do it for more ideas on "cleaning up" a sample. (That article is for a different forum where there is no provision to attach a file directly in the forum, so ignore the part about saving in a cloud location and posting a link.)

To attach a file, use the Go Advanced button underneath the window in which you are typing.
