How do I resize a Table of Contents?

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 12:05 PM PST

There is a navigation pane on the left side of MS Word Starter.  If I close it, how can I open it again?  I've looked for a View menu, but can't find where I can reopen the navigation pane.

Office RT for Surface - MAPI error when trying to send a word document as email attachment from Word

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 12:52 AM PST

I'm trying to figure out how to send a word document as an email directly from Word RT on my Surface.. Navigating to that option is easy, but when I try to do it I get an unspecified MAPI error and it fails. I guess I haven't set up an email address to be associated with Word? But I already have both a Gmail and an outlook account set up on the surface. I can't figure out how to add an email account to Word or whatever it's asking me to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have an document that is in a format or template. I want to convert it to a dotx template.. How can I do that

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 06:57 PM PST

The version is 2010.  I have an immediate need to do this.  If anyone is willing to work on the doc I would appreciate it.

My "normal.dotm" is corrupt.

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 06:24 PM PST

Hello: I've been struggling with changing the default formatting in Word 2010 for a few days.  I've been given lots of advice from the help community and I've tried it all.  Nothing has worked.  Finally this evening I went into my folder options and set everything back to default settings and, at long last, I was able to locate "normal.dotm". 

Following steps recommended by Microsoft, I tried to open/edit "normal.dotm" through word.  I was given a message that the file is corrupted.  I've read some of the ideas of how to stop corruption in the future, but that doesn't help me as my file is already corrupt.  What can I do?  Is there a file I can download to replace the corrupted "normal.dotm"?

I can't imagine what I did to corrupt it; the first thing I did, after my computer was delivered, was to use Word and try to change the defaults. 

I need to find a way to replace my corrupt "normal.dotm" file.  Since I haven't done much with word since I got this new computer, because I've spent all my time trying to get the defaults changed, so I've no clue how this file became corrupt.  I think it must have arrived corrupt, because the first thing I did, the first day, was try to change the default formatting in word and it did not work on that first day.

Please someone at Microsoft, please help.

Thank you. Rosemary

Showing the full file path in title bar

Is there a setting in Word 2010 that will allow me to see the full file path in the title bar?  I only see the file name.

Many thanks!

How to preserve formatting in header when updating fields

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 01:34 PM PST

I have prepared a number of forms in Word 2007.  To create some of the input fields, I have used the Text Form Field function under Legacy Forms in the Controls group under the Developer tab.  I have formatted the font in these fields as Verdana 10 black.

 

I want some of these input fields to appear as information in the header of the form, so have given each of these input fields a "Bookmark" name in the Text Form Field Options diaglog box.  I have then inserted the fields I want into the header of the form using the CTRL+F9 shortcut.  I want the font in the header to display as Verdana 8 blue, so have created a style for this.

 

To activate the form function, I protected the document.

 

My problem is that when the fields in the header are updated (calculated on exit, which I usually do with a page preview), the font style reverts to Verdana 10 black instead of staying as Verdana 8 blue.  Sometimes, the formatting does seem to be preserved for the first word or two, but is not maintained after about the thrid word.

 

I am using Windows XP Professional Version 2002.

Please help. I have been searching for days ... I can not find any document named "normal.???" there is no Normal.anything

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 12:43 PM PST

I have word 2010.  I have been searching, following all the tips that I can find, doing what is suggested and no matter what I do, no matter where I go (using word or using explorer) I can not find a file that is called "normal." no normal.anything.

I need to change the defaults in word or I shall go mad.  I HATE the defaults that came with this new software.

I have used word and tired to open templates; there is no "normal." under any of the folders.

I've used explorer to follow the tree to templates; there is no "normal." under any of the folders.  In fact, using this method, I don't even have a file that starts with an "n".

 

Please, please, please help.

thank you.

2007 MicroSoft Office software purchase 2/26/12 can I download to my new Notebook?

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 12:28 PM PST

Please advise, I am new at managing the new start programing for LT or Notebook, as a new purchase.  I am limited in knowledge, and formerly always worked with the PC or Lap Top already installed and ready to go.  I made a new purchase 2/26/2012, moved, and my old PC did not make the travel.  I have a new Notebook and want to have the MS Windows 2007 downloaded in to my computer.  I found my site key from the original purchase, and have all the details about the purchase of MS Office 2007.  The PC it was originally loaded onto is not longer operating, and I was hoping I could download this to the new Notebook? Can I still make use of the original purchase to my present Notebook?

 

I have tried to enter the site key five times, and it will not accept this as a valid key.  Please advise.  Merrianne Nesbitt

Error 1706 when opening word, program appears to be calling Roxio Venue with resulting "no valid source windows can't continue

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 08:44 AM PST

When starting Word, program begins to launch, then a 2ndary window opens that appears to be calling "Roxio Venue" to open.  After a few moments an additional window pops up with Error 1706 No Valid Source, Windows can't continue.  If I cancel the 2ndary window when it appears, Word then continues to open and operate normally.  Where is that 2ndary call coming from, it is annoying, how can I stop it.
