Microsoft Word - Page Numbering X of Y

Microsoft Word - Page Numbering X of Y

Page Numbering X of Y

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 08:04 AM PST

I have a 60 page word doc (10 sections in total).  I have inserted NextPage breaks between each of the sections.  I've started the page numbering on the third page (formatted as page 1).  No problem there. 

My numbering scheme (page X of Y) should say 1 of 58 (rather than 1 of 60) because I'm not including the first two pages in the total.  I'm sure I've done this using the SectionPages code.  I'm having no luck today.  I've unlinked each section.  I'd appreciate some helpful advice.

Need your help

The insert pictures features is not working in word, it works in excel and publisher though.  Ran diagnostics and did not detect errors. Please advise how to correct this issue as I must finish editing my report today. Reviewed the options in word in the advanced tab, maybe something is selected wrongly.  When I attempt to insert the photo from my pictures files it copies an empty frame with the rotation icon on top.

Is there a way to make two columns independant?

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 03:29 PM PST

I'm trying to write a compare/contrast document of sorts (it's not exactly using the "proper" style they taught in school) where I'd like to list things about two different items on either side of the page. However, when I set up two columns, it treats it as two pages where when you get to the bottom of the first column it goes to the top of the second.
I'd instead like to have it continue to the next page, and be able to click on either column and put independent things in each one.

Maybe I'm phrasing this badly, I'd like to treat each column almost as an independent document so that i can add text contrasting two things.

I'm having difficulty finding the right words. I'm thinking of something similar to a 2 column, 1 row table. Is there any way to do that using columns with a line down the middle?

Now that I think about it, that might work. I'll try and see.

Keeping 2010 Word App open after closing all of the files???

Posted: 18 Nov 2012 11:11 AM PST

When you launch 2010 Word it opens a file called "Document 1". That's all well and good but if you close that file it also closes Word right along with it. You can open another file then close Doc 1 but if you close the other file it closes Word again. My question is can you close all of the documents and still leave Word launched. You can with Excel, Power Point, Visio and every other Office App. Why not Word 2010????? It's really a pain when you're working with a lot of files and want to close one when your done with it then open a new one. You have to re-launch the whole app.

word 2010 32bit connecting to network printer hangs

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 12:55 PM PST

User has issues when trying to print from Word or Excel 2010 32bit. In word once the user clicks print, there is a drop down menu to select a printer. When the user selects the network printer (a Ricoh MP C6501), underneath the printer drop down it says "connecting to printer". Word will hang and then show up as "not responding".

 

Notes: There is another network printer (HP Printer) and a local HP Printer setup along with the ususal Fax, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, OneNote 2010. The default printer is the local HP Printer. When selecting the other network printer printer (HP Printer) there is no hang or lag. From research I have found that it could be that the driver resides on the Print Server which is why it was taking so long to connect. So I directly connected to the printer by IP address bypassing the Print Server with an updated 32bit driver and it still comes up with the same results.

 

PC Info - Lenovo T410 running Windows 7 32bit and Office 2010 Professional 32bit.

 

Our other users who are running the same setup but with Windows 7 64bit and Office 2010 Standard does not have the same hang up. If there is any other information that I am missing, please ask me.

I have also tried a couple of other possible solutions, like disk clean and repairing Office to no success.

Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
