Change Word to use ambidextrous quotes for everything

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 02:37 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having to frequently change smart quotes to simple ambidextrous quotes in content that gets sent to me. I've unchecked the 'Straight quotes with smart quotes' checkbox under AutoCorrect options. This makes word use simple quotes when I type but pasting text will keep the smart quotes if there are any.

Is there a way to get Word to use simple quotes for everything? I don't really want to be using the replace feature all the time.


Thanks

Problem with margins when I copy & paste a document into template

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 10:18 PM PST

I have created a template that has one header on the first page and a different header on the following pages.  I used the developer section to insert content control boxes into the template.   

I have set margins, font, size, etc..  The template looks just as I want.  BUT when I copy & paste text from a previously saved text document into the body of the template, it does not follow the default bottom margin that I set at .7.  It leaves margins far greater than .7, and they vary from page to page.  I would like all of the bottom margins to be consistent.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!!

How do I get the full page to show after it was accidently shrunken

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 08:17 AM PST

When I try to create a document, the display shows that the page has shrunken to about 3 by 7 when the original display was 8 by 11 size.  I notice that I somehow drag my hand over the mouse pad and it shrinks the page size and zoom.  Normally, when I'm not in ms word, I just reset the zoom to 100% and that fixes the problem every where else. However, it does not display tools on the ms word document.  Please help me get the page back to the original size.  Incidentally, the page size icon shows that it is the right page.  This problem is not about the font size but how do I get the word document to open up as the full page size so that I can begin my document?

printer error - office 2010 - Windows 8

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 07:42 AM PST

I am attempting to print using office 10 (Word) but am getting a non specific message, "there was an error printing," each time I attempt to print.  Troubleshooting has not detected any errors with the printer, and the printer itself is not showing any errors or issues either. 

 

I have just added this printer (driver) to my computer but have not yet been able to successfully print using it.  A co-worker who is using the exact same computer (both new last week) - his computer detected the printer automatically and has had no issues.  Searches for the device on my machine came up blank, and I've had these issues since attempting to add it manually through Window's driver list. 

 

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mail merge with database field

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 07:49 AM PST

Dear all,

I have a mail merge document connected to an Excel-workbook which is fed by several Microsoft Queries with parameters.

1) If I enter a database field into the Word-document I get all the fields and records in the table - even if I append the query by 

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '3')) 

or

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '{MERGEFIELD volgnr5}'))

It seems Word does not react to this statement.

I have entered the extra space before the first komma after the select, so those errors are gone.

2) If I remove a fieldname from the query the database field stops showing anything.

Please help.
