Programs Compatibility Application

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 06:25 PM PST

Trying to open Microsoft Word Starter but it keeps telling me "Mircosoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in control panel." Used troubleshooter and found that it is a 'Incompatible Application'. It was fine last week, now its not. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you for your time.

Paragraph formating

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 01:51 PM PST

I have a 600 page document. I am trying to format the paragraphs (first line) throughout to 0.5". I have entered this info in the paragraph box (first line by 0.5") (aligment left/body text) (indentation &  spacing all marked 0 pt) (line spacing double).

I did select all. The ruler on the document did change to 1/2" (0.5") but the paragraphs are still all over the place .. most indented further in than I've asked (like 1" or more).

Do I have to go through all 600 pages manually to get to the 0.5" desired indent? Help!

mail merge field problem

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:40 AM PST

Hello! I am trying to do a mail merge for a letter. I have an Excel spreadsheet, and in it I have fields for first name, last name and greeting. My intention is that the first and last name are used in the address block, but the greeting field is used in the greeting block - this is because, for instance, I have some names that are Jane Do and John Doe where Jane Doe is in the first name, John Doe in the last name for the mailing address, but I want the Dear line to be Dear Jane and John. I hope I explained that clearly?

The problem is that whatever I specify for the first name in the address block is automatically carrying over to the greeting block, and if I then specify something different for the greeting block, it carries back to the address block!! Is it possible to unlink the two somehow?

Thanks ever so much for any help you can give me!

Can I create a warning box for users opening a Word 2003 Form?

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 06:10 AM PST

I have created a form in Word 2003 and have password protected the document as form fill in only. I would like to create a warning box that informs users when they open the document that the document restricted. Is this possible?

 

I am trying to pre-empt that those not familiar with using Word forms will be confused by the restricted access.

mail merge preview results does not work in WORD2010

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:44 AM PDT

Forum members,

I have been having some problems with mail merge when merging data from an excel list into a form letter.  I have had no problem in the past but recently it doesn't work.  I have a column in the spreadsheet labeled Printkey with an entry P to designate what record is to inserted and use the code {SKIPIF {MAILMERGE PRINTKEY } <> "p"} at the top of the document.  When I click the Preview results button on the ribbon nothing happens.  In the past it would show the first record for editing.  If I do a Finish merge and choose edit individual documents it get an empty records error message.  On the other hand if I delete the {SKIPIF{} } and use the filter option on the edit recipients menu, the data is merged to the document for the data designated by a P when the edit individual documents is chosen but the Preview Results still does not work.  Can anyone advise me on this.  All help is appreciated in advance.

missing math equation letters

Posted: 01 Nov 2012 10:28 AM PDT

I inserted a math problem someone sent to me  into a newsletter I am working on. On the second page of the math problem I inserted two math cartoons to fill up the bottom of the page. The document looked fine at print preview, but printed without the "x"s and "y"s in the math equation. I don't think the equation editor was used. When I removed one of the cartoons, the document printed correctly. I have tried inserting the cartoons into textboxes, which did not work, and I also tried a table which didn't work. I have an art border around those two pages of the newsletter.. I just don't understand why I can't print the page correctly with the two cartoons.

When I try to open Word 2010, I get the following message: Microsoft Word starter 2010 cannot be opened. Check your internet connection and try again.

My internet connection works fine and Word worked fine up until a few weeks ago. What's causing this glitch, and can I fix it?

When i type there are two underlines under the letters. how do I remove them?

I need to remove the two lines that appear under my words. How do I do this?
