Microsoft Word - Change Word to use ambidextrous quotes for everything

Microsoft Word - Change Word to use ambidextrous quotes for everything

Change Word to use ambidextrous quotes for everything

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 02:37 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having to frequently change smart quotes to simple ambidextrous quotes in content that gets sent to me. I've unchecked the 'Straight quotes with smart quotes' checkbox under AutoCorrect options. This makes word use simple quotes when I type but pasting text will keep the smart quotes if there are any.

Is there a way to get Word to use simple quotes for everything? I don't really want to be using the replace feature all the time.


Thanks

Problem with margins when I copy & paste a document into template

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 10:18 PM PST

I have created a template that has one header on the first page and a different header on the following pages.  I used the developer section to insert content control boxes into the template.   

I have set margins, font, size, etc..  The template looks just as I want.  BUT when I copy & paste text from a previously saved text document into the body of the template, it does not follow the default bottom margin that I set at .7.  It leaves margins far greater than .7, and they vary from page to page.  I would like all of the bottom margins to be consistent.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!!

How do I get the full page to show after it was accidently shrunken

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 08:17 AM PST

When I try to create a document, the display shows that the page has shrunken to about 3 by 7 when the original display was 8 by 11 size.  I notice that I somehow drag my hand over the mouse pad and it shrinks the page size and zoom.  Normally, when I'm not in ms word, I just reset the zoom to 100% and that fixes the problem every where else. However, it does not display tools on the ms word document.  Please help me get the page back to the original size.  Incidentally, the page size icon shows that it is the right page.  This problem is not about the font size but how do I get the word document to open up as the full page size so that I can begin my document?

printer error - office 2010 - Windows 8

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 07:42 AM PST

I am attempting to print using office 10 (Word) but am getting a non specific message, "there was an error printing," each time I attempt to print.  Troubleshooting has not detected any errors with the printer, and the printer itself is not showing any errors or issues either. 

 

I have just added this printer (driver) to my computer but have not yet been able to successfully print using it.  A co-worker who is using the exact same computer (both new last week) - his computer detected the printer automatically and has had no issues.  Searches for the device on my machine came up blank, and I've had these issues since attempting to add it manually through Window's driver list. 

 

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mail merge with database field

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 07:49 AM PST

Dear all,

I have a mail merge document connected to an Excel-workbook which is fed by several Microsoft Queries with parameters.

1) If I enter a database field into the Word-document I get all the fields and records in the table - even if I append the query by 

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '3')) 

or

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '{MERGEFIELD volgnr5}'))

It seems Word does not react to this statement.

I have entered the extra space before the first komma after the select, so those errors are gone.

2) If I remove a fieldname from the query the database field stops showing anything.

Please help.

Combining Multiple Databases

Posted: 18 Jun 2004 03:08 AM PDT

G'day Craig,
Yes, I do it every day just about,
manipulating a 800,000 record database using Works.

As you mentioned, the field positions <must> be identical
I have an initialising row, a the top of the DB
which makes carrying formula down easy.

Just copy/paste is fine
re initialise the formulae fields
and have a master field called ROW
and sort (when joined) on appropriate fields
(eg Date / Time)
the re number the field ROW down to keep the database in order.

REMEMBER to always have a backup
of both databases in case of glitches

microsoft works 2002 and auto save

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 01:16 PM PDT

Hi Mel,

Unfortunately, Works 2002 does not have an Autosave option.

Perhaps save often and maintain two current copies of the
same file (serially numbered) e.g. MyWork1 MyWorks2.

Update frequently and keep backups of important files.

Works 4.0 to works 2000 - Help

Posted: 15 Jun 2004 05:12 PM PDT

Chances are you have Word installed, instead of Work's Word Processor. When
you try to open the file, WORD opens it and gets all the formatting, etc.
Works 4.0 and Word are not interchangeable.
Best bet...................keep Works 4.0 installed. As most users will
agree, it is far superior to the later versions of Works.
MS Word has place also, but you need to find out what the difference is.

Is Works being dropped for Office ?

Posted: 15 Jun 2004 04:25 PM PDT

Works and Office have different markets as they have a big difference in price. Works is
aimed at home users and some small businesses. Office is aimed at corporate users and
power users.

Works has its own file formats. The actual format varies depending on the version of
Works.

If you have the Works Suite rather than the base Works product, it uses Word as its
default word processor rather than the Works word processor and so that uses Word format
for it's files. The Works word processor has its own WPS file format.

Starting with Works version 6 (or maybe 5), the Works spreadsheet uses a simplified Excel
file format (XLR) which Excel can read. But it doesn't support all the Excel features,
such as multiple sheets per file.

The Works applications do have the File, Save As option that lets you save in a different
format that some other applications can read, but it won' use those formats by default.

Sorry to create a new post, but I have tried the other posts' suggestions... can't install new Office 2004?

Posted: 24 Jan 2007 04:07 PM PST

Hi Jim:

Sorry: The problem is that they have sold you the wrong package.

You have an "Upgrade" version there, and it is looking for a previous
version to authenticate against. When you see that prompt, you need to
insert the Office 2001 for Mac CD to authenticate. Then the installation
will proceed.

If you do not have access to an Office 2001 CD, you need to take that
version back to the shop and change it for a Full Version disk.

There is no way round it. Sorry.

Faint Print

Posted: 24 Jan 2007 12:11 AM PST

Hi Sudeva,
I did a bit reading and thinking but I'm not much clever. I was thinking...
The color manaegement (CM) can take place in:
*application
*printer/device driver
*OS
My thought were focused on data stream, but I cannot work it out, both seems
me same and no-one is here to be able to help me... Both options seems me
adequate.

Word is non colour management app. It will directly proceeds RGB data into
printer dirver, however somewhere the OS has to come into place with CM but
it will assume the same profile (from color sync) as source and destination
so 0 transform will take place.

Then when printing into PDF (I'm used to go to PDF via PostSript) I'm not
sure how it's handled when doing PDF via PRINT>PDF but I will assume that
also it will be created via PostScript (PS). The system profile will be
assumed to be as source and the same transform as previously should come
into place.

Then my thought was on printing dialog box-Quartz filters - when printing
you have options to Change the printer settings in printer driver and can
also set Color Sync Quartz filter, wheter you have set in both cases the
same.

product keys per computer

Posted: 23 Jan 2007 11:01 AM PST

Hi Christian:

1) Bring up the About box from any of the applications on the machines that
are claiming that they are identical PIDs.

2) If the PID matches save the last 5 numbers, then you used the same
product key on those two machines.

For example, if I see 75968-130-0001751 in any of the Microsoft applications
on one machine, I would look for the matching numbers on any other machine.
If you find it, that's the bad one.

Note: The PID you see is NOT the "Product Key" so it won't match your
product key. But the first 15 digits of the Product ID are derived from the
Product Key, and will match on any machine installed with the same product
key.

Cheers

It's not likely anything can be done on the PC side or that Office 2003
installation to get the pictures to display.

See

For the ones that don't display (assuming they aren't PICT files), it's
best to re-insert them via Insert Picture > From File rather than
whatever method they were added.

No, there is no way to "Legitimise" the Test Drive.

In is VERY IMPORTANT to you that you follow the instructions on the website
about running the Remove Office tool before installing the paid-for version.
If you do not do this exactly correctly, you will have a nasty time sorting
it out.

To move mail from a .pst to Entourage, first install the paid-for version of
Entourage and make sure it is operating correctly, then see here:

office for mac test drive wrong language

Posted: 19 Jan 2007 11:17 AM PST

Like Bob G. indicated you can download either language version you prefer
from that site. If you *haven't installed* the Test Drive you can safely
drag it to and empty the Trash. If you installed it, however you must run
the Remove Office utility which can be found in the Test Drive folder of
your Applications folder.

Once you install the Test Drive make sure you use Remove Office to remove it
*before* installing a live version of Office (or any individual Office app).
Just dragging to the Trash is a calamity you don't want to deal with :-)
