Microsoft Word - Word document received via email, but created externally opens with odd symbols

Microsoft Word - Word document received via email, but created externally opens with odd symbols

Word document received via email, but created externally opens with odd symbols

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 01:51 PM PST

Sometimes an externally created document received via email opens with boxes, symbols, letters (such as A) or @-sign in the place of apostrophes, quotes, or where an italized code should be.    The same document forwarded to, or received by, another user opens correctly.

 

The user with the symbols is using Office 2010 Pro.  The same issue occurred when with Office 2007 Pro. 

 

Checking File/Open: the open shows Open All files, or Open all files incompatibility mode as the selection for all users. 

Spellcheck Lost for Translated Feilds

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 01:35 PM PST

In leiu of adding a macro to a locked form to enable spellcheck, some in my office have discovered that if you unlock a filled out form and hit Crtl+Shift+F9 that you can change all the form fields into normal text and then run spellcheck on it.  However, in Word10, when you do this, spellcheck checks all the text in the form EXCEPT for the form fields that have been translated.  Is there a way to get spellcheck to once again check all the spelling in the document?

Using "Insert Caption," Microsoft Word 2010 goes crazy, display vanishes, and Control Z returns it, but it comes back locked for editing, and no caption.

Insert Caption does not work on Word 2010.

Goes crazy, but can be recovered with Control Z and then re-enabling editing.

 

No caption appears.

Word 2013 new files print blank pages

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 06:21 PM PST

I have just installed Office 2013 on my windows 8 Toshiba laptop with AMD chip. When opening old files and printing, everything prints normally. However, when creating new flies from "Blank" template, and selecting print, the page comes out completely blank. I have tried different templates always with the same result. Printer responds, page is produced; only nothing is ever printed on the page. It's always just a blank sheet of paper. Weird and a real pain.

Word 2010 VBA: Macro to Update Formulas in a Table ??

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 12:27 PM PST

Hello;
 
1) Word 2010 doesn't automatically update formulas after changes, and I keep forgetting to right-click each formula cell and press Update Field.
Under Options -> Advanced -> Print options, One may check the box: Allow Fields to update before printing
and print the page to trigger the Update, but this is not a practical solution!
 
2) In this particular Table, I've the Formulas in:
Cells –> E3:E11
Cells –> I3:E10
Cells –> M3:M11
Cells –> N3:N11
Cells –> O3:O10
 
3) It would be useful if I have a simple macro that I can assign to a button or object on the same page, or even to an empty cell in the Table (O11).
 
4) I tried Record Macro to get a feeling on how it works in Word.
Unlike Excel, I couldn't even record any action, even select a column!
 
5) The other thing is that I'd like the macro to be available only to this document (i.e.; not included in the global normal template, which I suppose is the default).
 
6) Could someone please help or direct me to where I might find such macro ??
 
Thank you.

How does one tab to a different position in a field when setting up the main document for a mail merge?

Posted: 26 Nov 2012 03:20 PM PST

I am trying to create Christmas mailing labels.  I am placing a graphic on the left side of the label.  To the right of that I want to place the address.  If I try to tab to the right (from the left margin) all that happens is the cursor goes to the next field (or rather the space between individual labels, rather than to a tab stop I created.  How do I get around this problem?
