Problem with tables in Word 2010

Posted: 25 Nov 2012 10:50 PM PST

Hi!

I had a strange problem in a 60 page word doc with a few tables. One of the tables in the doc was misbehaving and wouldn't let me change it's border settings. Every time I tried, using the table Borders & Shading dialog, word would freeze and need to be terminated forcefully. I even tried changing borders using VBA, but the code would freeze when I tried to change .LineStyle property of the border.

I have trimmed down the doc to a single page now with just one table and the problem still persists. The doc contains just 2 lines of Heading 1 text followed by the table. The table is completely empty.  Deleting any of the two lines resolves the problem, or moving the table anywhere above its current position also resolves the problem. Also, if I save the doc as docx, the problem is gone.

In short, I do have a few workarounds to the problem but I want to know if anyone else has also faced similar problems and whether this is an issue with Word or there could be another explanation for this.

Thanks! :)

Dear all,

I have a corrupted .docx document.  I have tried everything I could find googling, but nothing seems to work. My problem seems to be similar to the fellow member rowandmf from the thread

I have uploaded the document on Google Docs:

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

I need to create a directory mail merge in word 2007 that can list multiple invoices for the same vendor, please help?

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 11:51 AM PST

I'm currently creating a process to dump information from our accounting system into excel, grab email addresses and attach them to the proper vendors, dump that email info into word, use a mail merge document to create letters for the vendors, and then email them all out with a vba macro.

 

I'm stuck at the mail merge part, really bad at doing this kind of stuff. I've tried following a catalogue tutorial to set one up and just can't get it to do what I need it to. I've given a basic example of what the data I have looks like, and an example of what I need each letter to look like.

 

Can anyone lead me in the right direction or give an example of the code I need to put on my main document?

 

You guys are awesome, advance compliment!

(note: I do have the email address listed on each line for each vendor, forgot to list it here!)

(note2: I put squigly brackets around everything I think needs to be generated by a field code)

Word 2010: How to Rotate a Table ??

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 06:45 AM PST

Hello;
 
1) I have a Table with multiple columns, multiple rows, multiple split cells, and text above & below, on a portrait page-layout.
 
2) Selecting the Table, how do I rotate it from horizontal to vertical ??
Think of the Table as an object/image, and want to rotate it 90 deg counter clockwise.
 
3) Neither "Text Direction" nor "Transpose" (even if such feature exists!) will do the job.
 
Any suggestion ??
 
Thank you kindly.
