WORD HOW-TOs

Split long document to side-by-side view :

Remove all Paragraph-break and insert new line after each period
1. Enable Display all formatting symbol for easier view
2. Replace all Paragraph-mark with " " (single white space)
3. Replace all ". " (period and single space) with period AND manual-line-break
Related:
With Microsoft programs that support formatting marks press the Ctrl+* (Ctrl+Shift+8) shortcut key to enable and disable formatting marks. The formatting marks feature can also be enabled or disabled by clicking the paragraph symbol in the toolbar.
EASIER WAY :
To join the lines together just copy the text from that webpage into Notepad++
Go to View --> Wordwrap and turn it on if not already.
Go to Edit --> Select All
Go to Edit --> Line Operations -> Join Lines
To put each sentence to new line, use Sentence Splitter

Can't select whole table (table handle/selector not visible) :
Most likely because that table is treated as part of another/previous table
Solution : Split a table

Copy few pages out of many pages document:
Word is not a page layout application. It creates documents made up of
multiple overlaid story ranges. Pages therefore are an entirely artificial

Print empty page with tiled picture as background:
1) Prepare jpeg/bitmap file in a way that if you put one adjacent to another then a correct pattern will be resulted
2) To simulate transparent effect of the image (because I don't know how to do it on Word) adjust the Brightness (and Contrast?) setting
(Paint.NET can be used for this purpose)
3) Create new Word document
4) Menu: Format \ Background \ Fill Effects \ Picture
Caution: What you see on the screen is NOT what you get on printer ;-)
So print it to see the actual result
5) You may have to edit the original image to resize it if needed
