+====MSExcel Page Layout Margin Unit====
+I really have the hard default to the archaic units.  Finding the options to set to metric is too difficult.

 ======MS Word======
+One of the biggest problems with MSWord, like almost all USA software is seemingly hard defaults to the inch system and US paper system.  I do not like using this system and prefer the metric system and ISO A series paper size.  I wish there was some way to isolate of other wise remove the USA measurement system and paper sizes.

+=====Create PDF with bookmarks from headings=====
+I am noticing many pdfs being deliver now without any bookmarks included or garbage bookmarks.  Larger pdfs e.g. over 30 pages should always be bookmarked, this is a kep benefit of online documents to allow quick navigation within the document. This is a key feature that can make online documents easier to use than hard copies.  MSWord does have the option to create pdfs with bookmarks developed from the built in headings.
+  -Open the Word document and ensure you have used built-in heading styles (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2) for the sections you want as bookmarks in the PDF.
+  -Click on File in the top menu and select Save As.
+  -Choose a location to save the file and select PDF from the Save as type dropdown menu.
+  -Click on the Options button in the Save As dialog box.
+  -Under the Include non-printing information section, check the box for Create bookmarks using and select either: Headings (to use Word's heading styles as bookmarks), or Word bookmarks (if you manually created bookmarks in Word).
+  -Click OK to confirm the options and then click Save to generate the PDF with bookmarks.
+  -If the bookmarks still do not appear, try using the Export feature: Go to File > Export > Create PDF/XPS Document. Click Options and ensure the Create bookmarks using option is selected.
+  -If the issue persists, consider using Adobe Acrobat to create the PDF, as it may handle bookmarks more reliably in some cases.

 ====Inserting a Picture====
 Attaching a picture effectively externally references the picture.  Unlike a drawing xref these ole object do not seem to be able to be bound (embedded) to the drawing. This is subject to links path breakage, particularly on multiuser system.  Where the image is in the same directory the path can be specified as "./image.file".
-Use the PASTESPEC command and paste in as a picture file.  This embeds into drawing file, not as a link.
+Use the PASTESPEC command and paste in as a picture file.  This embeds into drawing file, not as a link.  The image in the clipboard is used.  Usually, the image needs to be copied to the clipboard via a image program.  A bit clunky.....
