I need to find out the date I typed a document.  Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

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.

Microsoft Word 2003 font problems

Posted: 30 Nov 2012 02:28 AM PST

I don't know if these problems are connected:

 

When I open any document in an Optima font it is displayed as italics although the italics button is not selected.

And in Arial the character spacing is very uneven with some letters sticking together.

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). 

Regards

ENVELOPE DOES NOT GO THRU TO PRINT

ENVELOPE WILL NOT GO THRU TO PRINT

 

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

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.

Help!!!

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.
