I like to include these quick fixes because minor problems are amplified when a person is under time constraint, and is having trouble focusing on the actual problem.
So here is the scenario:
Document has a large table mostly consisting of text that extends over 20 pages. It has a large textual header row. The Header Row repeats on each page because "Header Row Repeat" has been selected.
The operator is attempting to edit Header Material and cannot click upon this text to make the edits. They have already spent much time looking at the table thinking someone has locked that part of the document from being able to be edited.
What actually happened is the following:
1. The attorney, 10 pages into the paper copy (Hard Copy), made edits to the large repeating table heading sitting at the top of the table on page 10.
2. The operator, being on page 10 of the MS Word document was trying to edit the area that the attorney made edits to no avail.
3. The operator was then directed to go back to page 1 of the table and to edit the header from that location. The hard copy momentarily confused the operator because the attorney did not realize that the repetitive header info is "uneditable" unless of course you go back to Row 1 of the the table where it originated.
4. The operator went back to row 1 and made the changes then, went back to page 10 and continued on with the edits for the remainder of the document.
Simple, but then again, it is always simple when you have already been there.
