<div class="gmail_extra">as a (Xe)LaTeX user, I frequently encounter the same problem. To my knowledge, there is no truly efficient way to typeset glossed examples in Word, but at least you can use tables with invisible borders and optimal width to make sure
that your examples won't completely blow up every time you open the document.</div>

<div class="h5">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I'm currently working on an article where the required formatting is in Word, a program I'm not very used to at this point.<br>
<br>
I typically use LaTeX, a word processing program which has automated features for citations, glosses, references, table of contents, etc. Once you get used to everything done automatically, the idea of going back to doing everything manually is definitely not
appealing.<br>
<br>
Some of these can be handled in Word, such as the table of contents, but I admit that glossing is one area where I don't have any idea if it's possible to automate, and I'm reluctant to do everything manually. Changing the font or size can destroy layouts if
you use manual tabs, and I know plenty of people who have spent immense amounts of time tweaking documents simply due to formatting issues.<br>
<br>
So, my question: are there any macros for linguists which could help speed up writing documents when you're using Word? Particularly for glossing?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions you can give!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Don</div>

Higher than the highest human thought can reach is God's ideal for His children. Godliness--godlikeness--is the goal to be reached. Before the student there is opened a path of continual progress. He has an object to achieve, a standard to attain, that includes
everything good, and pure, and noble. He will advance as fast and as far as possible in every branch of true knowledge. But his efforts will be directed to objects as much higher than mere selfish and temporal interests as the heavens are higher than the earth.
