When I try to import text from Microsoft file into a chapter page or into a new serif file, I get this tag that I can't do this because something else is busy and it won't let me out and no matter which of the 2 options: Switch or Try again...nothing. Then I have to force the computer completely off as I can't move from, that place. I have tried it with no other program on at all!! Help!

Microsoft File was a Flat database program developed for the Macintosh and ran on Mac OS 6.x & 7.x. I was part of Microsoft Tech Support 20 years ago and supported this program. Are you sure that is the program you are using? Are you on the Macintosh? If so what version of the Mac OS are you using?
Thanks Ed

How can chapter titles be inserted into an existing document in Microsoft Word 2010?

Insert The Chapter Number And Title In A Header Or Footer

First divided your document into sections in order to insert chapter numbers and titles into headers and footers.

1. If you haven't done so already, insert a section break where you want to start a new section that contains a different chapter.
a. Click where you want to insert a section break.
b. On the Insert menu, click Break.
c. Under Section break types, click the option that describes where you want the new section to begin.

Note: If you have already inserted a page break to cause the chapter to start on a new page, delete the page break and replace it with a section break that starts on a new page.

2. Apply a built-in heading style to the chapter number and chapter title by clicking a heading style in the Style box on the Formatting toolbar.

Or to have Microsoft Word automatically number headings, use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to format chapter headings.

a. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Outline Numbered tab.
b. Click a chapter-numbering style (one that includes the text "Heading 1" or "Heading 2," and so on), and then click OK.
c. Type the text you want for the numbered heading, and then press ENTER.
d. To add the next numbered heading, go to the next chapter heading, click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar, and then select the heading style you specified in step 2.

===========================================

1. In the first chapter, on the View menu, click Header and Footer.

2. If necessary, move the insertion point to the header or footer you want to change.

3. Insert the chapter number or title.
a. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
b. In the Reference type box, click Heading.
c. In the For which heading box, click the heading that contains the chapter number and title.
d. In the Insert reference to box, select what you want to insert in the header or footer. For example,
• Click Heading number to insert the chapter number.
• Click Heading text to insert the chapter heading.
e. Click Insert, and then click Close.

4. Click Show Next Button image to move to the header or footer of the next chapter.

5. If the header or footer in this chapter matches the one you just created, click Link to Previous Button image on the Header and Footer toolbar to break the connection between the header or footer in the current chapter and the previous chapter.

6. If there's already text in the header or footer that you don't want, delete the text before inserting the chapter number and title.

7. Repeat step 5 to insert the chapter number or title of the current chapter.

8. For each chapter in the document, repeat steps 5 through 9.

How do you add a signature box to an existing pdf file.

Unless you have bought the full version of Adobe Acrobat to use to edit the existing PDF file, then you will have to do one of the following to add a signature box to that PDF file:

1. Edit the PDF file in a different program that is capable of doing this, one such program that I use is Serif Page Plus which can import the PDF document into the Desktop Publishing program and then let you edit it then export it again as a PDF file.

2. The alternative method is to convert the PDF file to Microsoft Word format, add the signature box in Word, then convert / print to PDF.
Wondershare PDF to Word will do the first part.
Kingsoft Office Suite 2012 Free is a good free alternative to Word if you don't have it.
Bullzip PDF Printer will allow you to print the modified Word document as a PDF file again.
All three of the above programs are free.

Dreamweaver CS3

Import Microsoft Office documents (Windows only) You can insert the full contents of a Microsoft Word or Excel document in a new or existing web page. When you import a Word or Excel document, Dreamweaver receives the converted HTML and inserts it into your web page. The file’s size, after Dreamweaver receives the converted HTML, must be less than 300K.
Instead of importing the entire contents of a file, you can also paste portions of a Word document and preserve the formatting.
Note: If you use Microsoft Office 97, you cannot import the contents of a Word or Excel document; you must insert a link to the document.
  1. Open the web page into which you want to insert the Word or Excel document.
  2. In Design view, do one of the following to select the file:
    • Drag the file from its current location to the page where you want the content to appear.
    • Select File > Import > Word Document or File > Import > Excel Document.
  3. In the Insert Document dialog box, browse to the file you want to add, select any of the formatting options from the Formatting pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, and then click Open. Text Only Inserts unformatted text. If the original text is formatted, all formatting will be removed.
    Text With Structure Inserts text that retains structure, but does not retain basic formatting. For example, you can paste text and retain the structure of paragraphs, lists, and tables, without retaining bold, italics, and other formatting.
    Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting Inserts both structured and simple HTML-formatted text (e.g., paragraphs and tables, as well as text formatted with the b, i, u, strong, em, hr, abbr, or acronym tag).
    Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting Inserts text that retains all structure, HTML formatting, and CSS styles.
    Clean Up Word Paragraph Spacing Eliminates extra space between paragraphs when you paste your text if you selected Text With Structure or Basic Formatting. The contents of the Word or Excel document appear in your page.
