Microsoft Word - can't modify multilevel list style

Microsoft Word - can't modify multilevel list style

can't modify multilevel list style

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 12:12 PM PST

I went through the laborious process of attaching headings to a multilevel list style as recommended by Shauna Kelly.  When I want to change the multilevel list style, I could sometimes right click on the style in the dropdown menu for multilevel list.  However, when I right click on the style now, the only option that appears is "Remove from List Library." 

How can I modify the style?

Thank you.

New page in word opens as a tiny "mini page" inthe top left corner. I am using Officer Starter 2010.

All saved documents open properly but when opening to new page it's so small you canhardly see it and impossible to use.

 

I would appreciate any help you can provide as I need this program for the work I am currently doing.

 

Thanks! 

Date field in a Word 2007 Template

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 07:54 AM PST

I have a Word 2007 template created with a field for date. But when I create a document based on that template, the date the template was created is automatically populated into the field. I would like it to show the day the document based on the template is created.

 

When I look at the properties for the field, I can format it, change the calendar type, give it a name etc. But I don't see anywhere to format what date is going to be in the field. If I can't get today's date to populate when created, I'd prefer no date be included.

 

Could someone help me accomplish this?

 

Thanks,

Christine

Text background is coloured although no highlighting is set

I have a 123 page document and the Contents and all the page numbers are highlighted in grey although Highlighting is set to "None".  Completely deleting the highlighted text and ensuring formatting is set to 'Normal' but still reinserts the text with the same grey background!

I am using the Mac version of Office X Professional.

Problem with page layout view as letter

Posted: 06 Nov 2012 11:08 PM PST

I have a problem with my Microsoft Word, when I receive documents or create one then open it, the Word showed as a letter in page layout and if you choose A4 layout it didn't change the view, please what I have to do ?

What is wrong with Word Starter? When I re-start my computer, it takes all day to get Word working again! My machine keeps losing internet connection and freezing.

As an advertisement for the more "complete" Word software, this Word Starter is a big loser.

How does one edit the "normal.dotm" document or replace it so when one opens new page the new settings are there?

Insert Symbol menu in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Nov 2012 10:16 AM PST

I recently upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2010.

I've discovered that the Insert Symbol menu in Word 2010 is missing a few characters.

In Subset: Basic Latin, the Latin Small Letters E and O With Tilde, that were included in my old Word 2003, are missing in Word 2010.

Example: the ẽ with a tilde from a Word 2003 doc to show what it looks like.

I need the e and o vowels with tilde to use in trancribing manuscripts that were written in the 16th Century, which used those symbols. The omission of those symbols from Word 2010 seems to have been oversight, rather than a deliberate exclusion. How can it be corrected?

How can I use the Insert>Object>Insert Text File feature to insert several files at one time in Word 2010?

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 07:24 PM PST

I did it by accident once and can't seem to do it again.  Rather than inserting only one text file at a time, it is possible to use the Insert>Object>Text File feature to insert several files at a time.  I can't remember if they were bookmarked paragraphs or individual document, but I did it a few times one day and now can't remember how I did it. 

Want TOC to use the actual page numbers (not restarted section numbering)

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:33 AM PST

I have a document with multiple sections (created with next page section breaks) and two independent page numbering systems in each footer(numbering within each section, eg. section page 1 of 2; and the total number of pages in the document, eg. handbook page 24 of 56). For each section, the page numbering starts again at 1.

I have an automatically generated TOC which is only picking up the section numbering so it looks like I have lots of pages starting on page 1. Is there any way I can tell it to use the other footer numbering, ie. number the actual/real page numbers of the document?

FYI, the footers were created by bookmarking each section A, B, C, etc. and then,

Page { page } of { pageref {section \* Alphabetic } }

for the section numbering and then

{= { pageref A } + { page } } of { numpages }

for the total page numbering, adding pageref B and so on as the sections progress.

Whilst the footer numbering is complex, the TOC numbering needed is the actual/real page numbers of the document.

Any help greatly appreciated. (While it would be possible to manually alter the page numbers after autogeneration of TOC, this is a document that will need to be maintained by a third-party and it is already quite complex. Ever hopeful of some wisdom out there.)

Problems with saving selection to header (and quick parts) gallery

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 06:15 AM PST

I created a header in my document by going to Insert/Header and choosing 'Austere (Even Page)'. I filled in the date field and title field like it asked me to, hit CTRL-A to select all of the header, and saved selection to header gallery as 'Company Header' (and the thumbnail of my new header--with date and company name filled in--does appear under the 'General' section of this gallery).

I saved my document and then tried to insert this new header into a new document but my date and company name did not show up--it's just the formatting with 'Pick a Date' and 'Type Title', as if I had never filled in those fields.

Since this header was created from Austere (Even Page) I tried inserting my header on the second page, thinking it only works on even pages, and I still had the same problem. I tried saving this header as a Quick Part as well, thinking it needed to be saved in the header gallery and the quick parts gallery, but when I tried to insert header it still did not work. Nor did it work when I tried to insert the header via Quick Parts.

What is wrong? Quick Parts has worked before and so has something I saved to a page number gallery.

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
