Text turns to red & stricken through when editing

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 05:43 AM PST

I am trying to edit a Word 2007 document created by someone else.  It does not show any protection or restricted editing.  When I try to delete a word, paragraph, etc., the text does not delete and rather turns red with a strike through.  I am using Word 2010.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Change right-to-left formatting to left-to-right

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:09 PM PST

I have a text that is partially in Hebrew, with right-to-left formatting. Unfortunately, some of the translations, in English, are also right-to-left-formatted (probably done by the author, not too versed in the formatting business, like I) . How can I change the English into its normal left-to-right format?

Thanks,

How can I retrieve the actual file I saved? I am saving a file and when I retrieve via name:filename, I get an earlier version

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 01:54 PM PST

I am saving files (Win7 Office2007) but when I retrieve them, I'm getting earlier versions with EXACTLY the same name. Example to make it clear. I have say a file called fred-data. I edit it substantially then 'save' (same name). I go to retrieve it via search 'name:fred' and get a list of files with fred-data there as well. Sometimes fred-data is not the fred-data I filed earlier as changes I made aren't there. I use Genie archiver and there is usually a fred-data.8 or similar which is more up to date than the fred-data I've retrieved. I'm having the same problem with XLS and .DOCX files. Sometimes (not always) if I retrieve the file from the 'last files used' list in Word etc. I get the latest version but not if I retrieve via name:fred-data. It's becoming a nuisance trying to track down the latest copy of files. I don't save them to a specific folder so I am relying on the 'name:fred' sort of search to find it for me. It's becoming a nuisance now - the reason I'm sure I'm getting the wrong files back is that I put the day/month manually in each time I edit and the files I am getting back are dated 1 or 2 days behind and I can't find things I know I put in there.    It happens on XLS and PPTX files too.     Terry Critchley *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Locking font settings when editing

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 07:00 AM PST

Dear Sirs,

 

My problem is simple:

 

I am translating a document. I usually change font color of the original text to "red" so I can easily see what I have to translate and what I already did. Then I start translating from some point. What I want is to lock my "editing font" to some certain setting and the cursor to keep it wherever I click, be it right in the middle of a red or green text, italic, bold type or a heading, without having to adjust to my predetermined font.

 

Another option may be a shortcut to my predetermined editing font, (e.g. something like shift+ctrl+f) so I can quickly adjust the type, size and color of the cursor to my editing preferences with only one single key combination.

 

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

 

Best regards,

 

Kivanc

I can't get rid of highlighting on automatic numbers.

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 01:33 PM PST

I have a contract in an outline format. Such as Article 2 > next line is 2.1, next para is 2.2 etc. Part of every paragraph has some highlighting in it. Unfortunately 2.1 does not but 2.1 (the number 2.1) is highlihgted. The rest of the para is not highlihgted. How do I remove the highlihgting from 2.1 I am using Word 2010 with track changes on. It seems to be in the formatting somewhere but I can't find it.

Microsoft Word - In a template, how do I have the current file name in the first page footer, but only in the first section?

In a template, how do I have the current file name in the first page footer, but only in the first section?

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 07:14 AM PST

I have created a template with the current file name in the first page footer.  If I create a document from the template, and then add a section break, I get the footer on the first page of the second section too.  How can I change the template to avoid this?

I have tried adding a section break, making the required changes to the definition of section 2, and then deleting the section break, then saving the template.  But this does not seem to keep the changes - the section 1 footer comes back again if I put a section break into a document.
I don't want to leave a section break in the template, because most of the time it will be used for single section documents.

Setting the pitch does not work properly, I get a real small font when I set it for 12; others are smaller than what I set

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 07:56 PM PST

The font setting does not give the font that I set.  A 12 pitch looks like about a 6 or 8.  To get a decent size I must increase the number for the font.  How do I get the computer to set the font like it appears on the screen when you go to the place where  you set the font?

Creating reference lists with returns in Word 2007

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 02:46 PM PST

I am trying to create a word document that has several sections in it.  I want to create a list at the beginning of the document that will allow somone to go to that section by just clicking on the list item.  I would also like to add to the bottom of each topic a "return to top" link that they can click on and return to the list.  Very similar to the way your guys lists are in this forum.  This seems to be done in a different way than using hyperlinks.

two pages into one

** HELLO:  IS THERE A WAY to "merge", "combine", "format"; whichever the term to use, a two page document into one page.

    On my "so-called" 'second' page, which is really a ONE PAGE, (I think), but came out as a two page document. It shows that I

    have one of those little white lines running thru it, its not really a break, but it does separate it so that when I go to print it, it

    does come out as two pages. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT line separator so that when I go to print that page, its all on one

    page. I also want my text to follow up to that one page. I tried to 'shrink' it, but to no avail.

New custom bibliography style does not appear in bibliography style list

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 04:51 PM PST

I am using Word 2010 with the latest service pack. I am trying to create a new bibliography style.  I have tried the process described on blogs.office.com whereby you create your own bibliography *.xsl file using another style file as a pattern.  I took the turabian.xsl file, for example, and made a copy of it named MYFILE.XSL.  In the new file, I replaced the only occurrence of "Turabian" with "MYFILE".  This is the only change I made, just to see if I could get the new style to show up in the bibliography style list.  Even with that as the only change, MYFILE does not show up in the bibliography styles list. 

 

I tried making the same change to the turabian.xsl file ("turabian"->"MYFILE") in an attempt to see if I could edit that file rather than adding a new style, but "Turabian"  disappeared completely from the bibligoraphy style list.

 

Other articles I have read seem to indicate that this process which was written for Word 2007 should work the same way for Word 2010.  (Of course, I am using the bibliography style files from word 2010 as the template.) Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong, or does this not work in Word 2010?

Thanks!

cannot preview mail merge

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 10:58 AM PST

I've recently started using a different PC (running Vista), and I've noticed that Word is not converting hyperlinks and mailmerge fields. I'm now trying to run a mailmerge created on my old computer, and although I've selected 'Preview Results' I'm not seeing any data. If I select the field and 'toggle field codes' I get the data, but as soon as I go on to the next record I'm back to square 1.  The data is being merged from an Access database (.mdb) file. Any ideas - please!

Document Structure Tags - removed as a default.

Unable to choose languages while using Translator in Word 2010 because the language list does not appear from drip down menu

Posted: 23 Feb 2013 05:54 PM PST

On my newly purchased hp desktop, Translator in Word, Office Home and Student 2010, does not work.  After I click Review/Translator/Choose Translation Language, in the opened window, two problems:

problem 1 - Under 'Choose MiniTranslator language', the drop down menu only show 4 languages instead of full list ususally more than 30 ( the same software on my laptop, from that list I can choose my desired language ).  Unfortunately I do not see my desired language among the four languages.

problem 2 - Under 'Choose dcument translation language', no language list from drop down menu appears both in the boxes of 'Tranlate From" and "Translate To'  Message shown in both boxes is 'Services not available'.

I also use Word in Office Home and student 2010 on my laptop. Translator in Word does function well.

How do I solve this issue, please.

Word box or menu blocks the text

Posted: 21 Feb 2013 09:02 AM PST

Frequently when I copy and pastesomething in Word, including using the Clipboard,  I then get harassed by a little bar or window blocking some part of the text.  Inevitably, it blocks a part of the text I want to see.  Evidently it wants to do some more pasting.  I made a picture of it but since there is no way to include it here, all I can do is try to describe it.  It's a yellow-bordered box with the Clipboard icon to the left of "Ctrl" and a down arrow on the right.  Well now it has disappeared so I can't describe it any further.  What is it and how do I get rid of it without sitting around waiting for something to happen?

This is a dumb objection. You can/have to get portable openoffice just
once. And you can do just like you are doing with OpenOffice, ie, in
your words:
 

So, if the problem is only how *you* can plug your USB drive in
somebody else'se windows computer and run the Impress presentations on
that drive _yourself_, just put also portable openoffice on it
(without any packing, zipping etc...) and use it to run the
slideshow. That way, it will also be publicity for OO.o, since the
participants will see the real thing in action.

If you want to _distribute_ the presentation instead, then try to
convert it to Flash as others have suggested and if it works forget
the .exe route (I don't know how complete Flash conversion is, never
used it myself).

[discuss] DBCS() or JIS() function on Excel

Hi, Paul and all

Hmm, that's quite strange that what you mean differs from Eike's report.
We have to continue our efforts to collect helpful information about
this problem.

According to Microsoft Office Website, the name of the JIS() function
depends upon the language you use. In addition, the functionaility
might differ from Japanese version.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP052508381033.aspx

Anybody especially who has other localized versions of Excel, I wonder
if you could tell me what the name of JIS() function is in your
localized version and how the function works.

how to accept all Autocorrect suggestions in document?

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 07:11 AM PST

Is there a way in which I can accept ALL of the Autocorrect suggestions in Word 2003, rather than clicking on each 'red squiggle? The document is about 75 pages long, and I have about 25 'suggestions' per page, most due to formatting errors when I deleted extraneous paragraph marks. [Replacing 'Paragraph Mark' with 'Paragraph Mark Space' simply creates an extra space in other locations].

Can I show stages of change with track changes?

Posted: 24 Feb 2013 04:01 PM PST

Here's the situation:

 

Contractual documents have been created, and then we were asked to make changes to them, using track changes. We did that, and it's all wonderful.

 

Now, they want us to make further changes, using track changes, but retain the original changes. So, somehow we need to make changes and use track changes to show a difference between the original changes, and the new changes.

 

Apparently this functionality is available in some legal document software (name unknown), and the lawyers assume that we can do a similar thing in Word 2007. I just can't seem to work out how it's done.

Office 2013 Recommendation when word can't be found on WinXP

Posted: 24 Feb 2013 11:06 AM PST

On Windows XP, if you try to open a Word document and Word can't be found, you get a message saying that if you have no office at all, you can try office 2013 for free. There's nothing wrong with that, only the fact that you can't run Office 2013 on Windows XP as the system requirements say that you need to have Windows 7 and up.

It's not a terrible issue, but I recommend that the web app gives a different recommendation if it detects the browser's user agent is reporting the OS as Windows XP. I thought about Microsoft Offering Office 2010 for XP and Vista users only, and everyone else can use 2013.

What is it in Scribus you need that you can't do in Writer and Draw?
Maybe you could just design the whole thing in OOo?

It can't hurt to try this. I've used the procedure to renovate a test

Open a new spreadsheet and import the sheets from the old file using
Insert >Sheet from file.

It looks as though I forgot to mention that you should rename / delete /
move files after exiting OpenOffice.

[discuss] Blinking Cells in Calc

Posted: 03 Oct 2006 01:09 AM PDT

Hi,

to get different cell styles applied within one cell you can use the
STYLE() function.

eg.

put a value like 4 into cell A1

Open the stylist (menu item /Format/Styles and Formatting) and create
two cell styles (named red and green) and define a background color
(red/green)

into another cell type in this formula

=A1+STYLE(IF(CURRENT()>3;"red";"green");5;"Default ")

info: style names (as every string based parameter) need to be quoted

If the sheet is recalculated (can be manually forced by typing
Shift+Ctrl+F9) then the cell gets the style "red" first (because the
value is >3) and after a break of 5 seconds it gets the style "Default".
If you use a shorter update time then it's some kind of blinking - but
only for one time.


Kind regards, Joost

I pasted a b&w gif with white masked into writer as an illustration,
and the program reversed the colors.
it came up black background light image.

printed that way as well.

got to go.

[discuss] need help customizing keyboard shortcuts

I have just exprimented and been able to set Ctrl-Shift+K to Decrease Font and Ctrl-Shift+L to Increase Font in Writer using Tools > Customize > Key > Keyboard. These conmbinations then change the font size of selected text.

I would like to be able to configure the familiar Ctrl-Alt+< and Ctrl-Alt+>, as
used by Word as I find them quite intuitive, but it seems that neither Ctrl-Alt
combinations nor > and < are configurable in OOo 2.0.3.

Also, I am using Windows XP at present. I might boot into Ubuntu later and
try it there as well.

you know what? that make total sense to me, and yes there could be doing

first they seem to be an address from the embassy of colombia which could

spoofing the address :(

I dont think there is much we could do.

[discuss] Document saving problem

Posted: 27 Sep 2006 12:25 PM PDT

Make sure of the filetype when saving and select the box labelled
"Automatic file name extension".

If the problem persists, there may be something wrong with your "user"
folder.

Hi, Martin. To stop numbering, Format >Paragraph. Select the
"Numbering" tab and for "Numbering Style", choose "None".
