put underline in the rightclick dialog box

Posted: 30 Nov 2012 08:07 AM PST

I have the underline in the header box, but I use the rightclick dialog box a lot. The underline is missing in the rightclick dialog box. There should be a way to add underline to the rightclick dialog box. I am running Word 2007 and Windows Vista.

Advice on using a combination of footnotes and endnotes in a single document.

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 03:51 PM PST

I've written a 14 chapter, 150,000 word book using Word 2010. It's in a single file. To meet the publishers house rules, I will have to change the way I have used footnotes and references (they don't like the Harvard system).

I need explanatory comments to be in footnotes at the bottom of each page,  starting from a or i  at the start of each chapter.

I need references to be in endnotes, all at the end of the book, but numbered from 1 for each chapter.

Is that possible? If so how? So far I have not found a way to do it. I can have either all footnotes or all endnotes without difficulty but having both footnotes and endnotes, numbered differently, has proved beyond me (or perhaps beyond Word 2010).

Em dashes versus 2 hyphens. I am writing book in Word to send to Amazon and have to be careful not to use macros, etc. I want to convert 2 hyphens into em dashes. How do I do that?

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 05:22 AM PST

According to Amazon and I believe Smashwords they discourage users from inserting special characters, macros, fonts, etc. How do I convert hyphens into em dashes in the easiest possible way? I have seen that as I am writing some of my hyphens automatically change into em dashes but some do not.

keep getting "QUOTE" "HYPERLINK" when opening a file?!

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:54 PM PST

I really love office 2013 because it is just really easy to use.
But there is a problem with it which is really frustrated as I recently find out.

When I am trying to open a word document,
if there is a hyperlink in the original text, it displays as "HYPERLINK------" instead of displaying the text in blue colour (which used to work in this way for older version OFFICE.)
and if there is an math equation in the original text, it displays as "{QUOTE----}" instead of displaying just the equations...

I really want all these to work in the old ways. Can someone please help me out?

Changing hyperlink colors, cannot get any "Hyperlink" to show up when I launch the Style group

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:34 PM PST

Hello:

Suddenly, my hyperlinks started to be purple. So, I wanted to change the color back to blue. Had no idea how to do it until I came across Shauna Kelly's page
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/formatting/change-the-colour-or-remove-the-underline-from-hyperlinks-in-microsoft-word.html

"To do either of these things, modify the Hyperlink style.
  1. Display the Modify Style dialog. To do that, in Word 2007 or Word 2010, click in a hyperlink. On the Home tab, click the dialog box launcher in the Styles group. (The dialog box launcher is the tiny tiny arrow at the far bottom right of the Styles group, under the "Change Styles" button.) The Styles pane will appear. In that pane, right-click Hyperlink and choose Modify."


Now, I am not sure what she means by "Click in a hyperlink". Place the cursor there? Ctrl+Click (which is what I need to do to run the hyperlink)?

In any event, I cannot get any "Hyperlink" to show up when I launch the Style group. I see

Clear All

Normal

... [16 options]

Header


So, could someone please tell me what to do. Thank you!

how do i insert a logo on only the 1st page of a mail-merge.

Sounds simple - you would think a combo of 'header-footer' / different 1st page' would do the trick but the logo comes out in unexpected places.

Two columns w/ different text

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 08:30 AM PST

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do this:

There are about 5 pages of text without columns in a Word document. That text is supposed to go into a column running down the left-hand side of the document. A translation of that text is supposed to run down a column on the right-hand side.

If two columns are implemented, the original text runs along both the left-hand side and the right-hand side. Is there any way to keep it all on one side?

Thanks in advance for insight.

Where are my edits?

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 07:17 AM PST

In Word 2010, with track changs on, I edited (insertions and deletions) and inserted comments. When I opened the document at home, all the edits were gone (undone) but the comments remained. How can I get the edits back? No previous versions show the edits, and a compare against an earlier version doesn't show them, either. Only the current version is in the AutoRecover file location. I was working on (and saving to) a server, not my computer.

Word wants to keep saving changes to the default global templates, EVEN when NO changes are made ! how do I detect a MacroVirus and delete it ?

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 08:21 AM PST

I have Word 2010 installed on my computer. Each time I open and close Word WITHOUT doing anything else at all, it asks to save changes made to the global template !

It reminds me of Macro Viruses of the yester years. 

How do I detect the macrovirus and delete it ?

italicize macro

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 05:45 AM PST

This is a follow up to a question asked yesterday (11-26-12). Despite diligent attempts, I cannot find my question to post this follow up. I apologize. I am new to this list.

 

I need a macro to find and italicize selected words within a document. The "replace" and "autocorrect" functions are impractical because of the number of words and the frequency needed. I have not been able write my own macro for this.

 

I received the following suggested VBA macro code:

 

Sub ReplaceFromTableList()
Dim oChanges As Document, oDoc As Document
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRng As Range
Dim rFindText As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim sFname As String
    sFname = "C:Desktop\My Documents\Italics Table.doc"
    Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
    Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sFname, Visible:=False)
    Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1)
    For i = 1 To oTable.Rows.Count
        Set oRng = oDoc.Range
        Set rFindText = oTable.Cell(i, 1).Range
        rFindText.End = rFindText.End - 1
        With oRng.Find
            .ClearFormatting
            .Replacement.ClearFormatting
            Do While .Execute(FindText:=rFindText, _
                              MatchWholeWord:=True, _
                              MatchWildcards:=False, _
                              Forward:=True, _
                              Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
                oRng.Font.Italic = True
                oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
            Loop
        End With
    Next i
    oChanges.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
   
    End Sub

 

When using this code, I received a Run Time Error '5273'  with the following line high lighted:

 

Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sFname, Visible:=False)

 

I am at a loss as to what to do now. Any suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Limiting a Macro to the Current Page

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 08:09 AM PST

I use a macro to remove prompts from text. The prompt is XXX. I want this macro to remove all prompts from the current page only, not the entire document. This macro, as written, removes all prompts from the entire document. I have been unsuccessful trying to limit it to the current page. How do I modify the code to limit this macro to the current page? The macro is:

 

Sub Eraser()
With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .MatchWholeWord = True
    .Execute FindText:="XXX", _
        ReplaceWith:="", Replace:=wdReplaceAll
       
    
End With

 

End Sub

 

Thank you.

Word document received via email, but created externally opens with odd symbols

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 01:51 PM PST

Sometimes an externally created document received via email opens with boxes, symbols, letters (such as A) or @-sign in the place of apostrophes, quotes, or where an italized code should be.    The same document forwarded to, or received by, another user opens correctly.

 

The user with the symbols is using Office 2010 Pro.  The same issue occurred when with Office 2007 Pro. 

 

Checking File/Open: the open shows Open All files, or Open all files incompatibility mode as the selection for all users. 

Spellcheck Lost for Translated Feilds

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 01:35 PM PST

In leiu of adding a macro to a locked form to enable spellcheck, some in my office have discovered that if you unlock a filled out form and hit Crtl+Shift+F9 that you can change all the form fields into normal text and then run spellcheck on it.  However, in Word10, when you do this, spellcheck checks all the text in the form EXCEPT for the form fields that have been translated.  Is there a way to get spellcheck to once again check all the spelling in the document?

Word 2013 new files print blank pages

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 06:21 PM PST

I have just installed Office 2013 on my windows 8 Toshiba laptop with AMD chip. When opening old files and printing, everything prints normally. However, when creating new flies from "Blank" template, and selecting print, the page comes out completely blank. I have tried different templates always with the same result. Printer responds, page is produced; only nothing is ever printed on the page. It's always just a blank sheet of paper. Weird and a real pain.

Where do I find my 2007 Word templates?

Word 2010 VBA: Macro to Update Formulas in a Table ??

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:27 PM PST

Hello;
 
1) Word 2010 doesn't automatically update formulas after changes, and I keep forgetting to right-click each formula cell and press Update Field.
Under Options -> Advanced -> Print options, One may check the box: Allow Fields to update before printing
and print the page to trigger the Update, but this is not a practical solution!
 
2) In this particular Table, I've the Formulas in:
Cells –> E3:E11
Cells –> I3:E10
Cells –> M3:M11
Cells –> N3:N11
Cells –> O3:O10
 
3) It would be useful if I have a simple macro that I can assign to a button or object on the same page, or even to an empty cell in the Table (O11).
 
4) I tried Record Macro to get a feeling on how it works in Word.
Unlike Excel, I couldn't even record any action, even select a column!
 
5) The other thing is that I'd like the macro to be available only to this document (i.e.; not included in the global normal template, which I suppose is the default).
 
6) Could someone please help or direct me to where I might find such macro ??
 
Thank you.

If the first page is even, OOo allway's puts an odd page in front.
I've read (not looked at it yet) that in 2.0.2 there is the possibility
to suppress automatically inserted pages. However, might be that this
option only is related to mail merge.

I have now tried to follow the advice of this thread.

1. removed office (Run x 2) (no installations of microsoft left)
2. Repair disk permissions (my mistake got the advice about booting
from cd from another thread in this newsgroup)
3. Drag & drop install
4. Installed 11.3.3 update before trying to open any application (boy
do I feel stupid, thanx CyberTaz)
5. Upon opening, the applications still just bounce in the dock and
then disappear.

As I type I am downloading Diane's link to Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo
Update (Intel). Hopefully it will work.

All of this effort is enough to drive a man to NeoOffice :)

Thanks for all of your help.

2. "Successfully Removed" is not always true.
3. Problems can occur using the installer. The installer cannot overwrite
certain files. Use the drag-and-drop method of installation.

You can try to manually remove Office and then reinstall and update. I would
also apply the combo updater first. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files.

Can 11.3.3. update be installed via ARD?

Posted: 06 Feb 2007 10:58 AM PST

Eric Darby <com> wrote:
 

You don't really need to read the article since the general idea is
rather simple:
- update the app on one Mac
- read the Read-me to figure out which files are new
- build a package with the files from the updated version of Office so
that you can replace them on the other Macs through a .pkg
- use ARD to deploy the .pkg on all Mac.

This, of course, requires that Office is installed in the same location
(/Applications ? ) on all Mac.

Problem with PowerPoint Slideshows

Posted: 05 Feb 2007 05:16 PM PST

Hi,

I'm not aware of anything in particular that can cause this behavior in
PowerPoint.

Here's a list of troubleshooting steps to take.
http://mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/troubleshooting.html

If it were me I would do the following in this order and test after each
one:
1. Make sure your copy of PowerPoint is up to date
2. Run Disk Utility to repair permissions
3. Run DiskWarrior

Upgrading from Windows 2002 version

I know what you mean - sometimes it's hard to tell & that's another reason
why I try to avoid reading into the posts of others :-) Certainly no problem
on this end... As before, I just wanted to save you unnecessary time &
expense. If the Win software needs upgrading it may be just as economical to
buy the Mac version outright. If you do contact MS or anyone else re
conversion don't forget to mention the "small non-profit" bit ;>)

Hope all goes well with the transition!

Good Luck |:>)

Entourage won't switch when MS office and messenger are already closed!

I'm glad the update solved the problem. May I suggest since you are new to
Mac that you join a talk list. This is a newsgroup and not a blog BTW. A
talk list is one where you receive email messages. I suggest getting
individual messages rather than digests since it's easier to reply to a
message.

Talk lists are like a community. You get to know frequent listees and will
learn a lot from other people's troubles. Help is usually quick and it's
free. :-)

I can recommended two good lists that help with you learn about everything
Mac. Both are moderated so you will get help and not a lot of noise.

Mac-L.. One of the oldest lists around.

Just remember we were all new at one time. There are no dumb questions.

WIN 7 RC & Retail any Differences ?

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 06:39 PM PST

Hi, Trimble.

The main difference is that the retail package will not die anytime soon.
To quote from KB 971767:
"Effective June 1, 2010, Windows 7 RC will expire.

"To continue using your computer, you should prepare to install the retail
release version of Windows 7 or install an earlier version of Windows before
the June 1, 2010 expiration date. You will be unable to upgrade from Windows
7 RC to the retail release version of Windows 7. However, you can back up or
transfer your data to your next or previous operating system."

There are several phases in the expiration process, including:
"Effective March 1, 2010, Windows 7 RC enters the next phase of expiration:
"Expiration notifications in the task bar continue.
"Computers that are running Windows 7 RC restart every two hours.

"Important When the computer restarts, your work will not be saved."

For details, read the KB:
Description of Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC)
expiration dates and functionality
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971767

Your Subject asks about differences between RC and Retail, but your text
asks about differences between Professional and Ultimate. The same
expiration phases apply to all RC versions.

Click the start button and type-in the word "transfer." At least on mine, there
is a wizard which will offer to transfer you files, asking if this is your old or new
computer. I imagine that would work, but always have a backup. Macrium

New Document Size

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:03 PM PST

When I go to my Word page to type a letter, etc., instead of finding a full-size page to type my words, I find a small (about one inch) new page in the upper left corner.  There is a bar at the bottom left of the Word page which allows me to Zoom to an approximate letter size but it is very annoying.  Is there a way to set my Word page back to the way it was before this change which will automatically give me a full-sized new entry document?

Mail merge date format problem

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 10:19 PM PST

I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet as my data source with the date cell formatted as DD/MM/YYYY. In my main document I setup the merge field as {MERGEFIELD "Unit_Start_Date" \@ "D MMMM YYYY"}.

The output of my mail merge:

  • 15/01/2013 Tuesday, 15 January 2013 (This is the correct format)
  • 05/03/2013 Friday, 3 May 2013 (This is incorrect).

How do I fix this?.

word 2007 mail merge can't find file

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 05:58 PM PST

I am an experienced Mail Merge user with Word 2007 installed on a Windows 8 machine. Yep, old software, new environment. When I use the Mail Merge Wizard and tell it I want to "Select Recipients", it used to give me a dialog box where I could navigate to the Excel file I had set up with the data. Now, nothing happens at all. The little circle just keeps turning and turning. Is there a work-around (pre-assign the data, set up file location type or criteria, etc.) or must I upgrade to 2010 to make this all happen?

 

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

How do I change the grammar to formal for proofing purposes in Word 2007?

I want to use the Formal grammar when checking the text in my books. I was told to go to spelling & grammar > options > proofing > and change the grammar to formal here, but there is nothing there that says anything about Formal anything. Can any one give me clear, concise directions on how to make this change?

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Problems with heading 4 numbering in Ms word 2010

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 02:00 AM PST

Hello,

I am working with a document with different chapters and heading up to level 4. The numbering goes fine until heading 4. i get something like :

3.1.1       
3.1.2        
3.1.2.1   
3.1.2.1   
heading 4 seems to be repeating the same numbers rather than go in sequence. I have searched for solutions online but nothing seems to be working. Kindly assist me.

Thanks.

Mail Merge INCLUDEPICTURE is repeating the same picture! Please Help!

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 10:20 PM PST

I have my customer info on a spreadsheet.  One field includes a URL to the public record's picture of that customer's house.

 

On the mail merge document I inserted... { INCLUDEPICTURE"{MERGEFIELD "HOUSE_PIC" }" }

 

The first record's picture displays, but then repeats the itself for every following record, even though I'm using the NEXT command.  The other fields go to the next record, but not the picture.
