When I first found out my document was not on my desktop, I saved it in a specific folder and it is there, but when I tried to click and drag from where I had it saved, it said there already was a document with that name. Where are these documents going?  I have checked and checked, and they are definitely not on my desktop.  I eventually found them in the Recent Items tab.

Outline View Left Hand side bar

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 02:38 AM PST

Using Word 2007.

When I use Draft or Outline view, there is a narrow side bar on the left hand side. This shows Normal, Heading1 Heading 2 etc depending upon the levels chosen. A fine black line separates this "pane" from the main Outline view, where I see the Plus and Minus symbols and the indented structure of my document text. I can mouse over this black line and drag it wider or narrow.

 

I find this little side pane vey useful, but my colleagues do not see it when they use Outline view.

 

I have no idea how I switched this on, and none of the help guides I've found online mention it.

 

Can anyone tell me how to switch this on?

 

thanks, KK

Office 2007 is not working properly..

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 06:25 PM PST

I had a virus that deleted some files from various systems.  I have to reinstall drivers for audio and other things and I've realized it did something to my 2007 Office program as well.  People can't open files because they say they're corrupt and when I go to open a new file weird music characters show up on the margins and I can't get rid of them.  I've had the viruses removed but yeah it deleted files.  I ran the office diagnostics tool but it didn't fix the issue.

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

I have a word document that I am trying to add a {DATABASE} field code to and I am trying to modify the SELECT clause to include a modified field.  The field I have includes the full name "John Smith" and I am needing to cut out the first name and only include the last name "Smith".  I know how to do this in SQL, but it seems that the syntax is not exactly the same.  For example, I can't even get it to add an alias to the full name field.  Does anyone know what the proper syntax is that the {DATABASE} field code uses for a text file?


This is my current {DATABASE} field code.  NOTE: I am not allowed to modify the .csv file, as I know that would have been a much easier solution.

 

 {DATABASE  \d "C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv" \c "" \s "SELECT NAME FROM C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv WHERE ((ID ={MERGEFIELD ID} ))" }

EDIT: the error it gives me when I add something like an alias to the NAME field is "Word is unable to open the data source"

hello, I was wondering why my Word Document doesn't include Segoe Script in my word document I am using a book called Microsoft Office 2010 Introductory by, Shelly Vermant.  I am guessing this book is for people who just got 2010 or something so I am guessing it should come with it but is not. any ideas on why this is happening and ways to fix it thank you!

Is there a way to link the content of combo boxes without using VB?

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 12:42 AM PST

I want to have a dropdown menu in the header of a document from which I can select one of a number of options. I then want that value to appear in a box in the footer of that and each consecutive page. I feel like there should be an easy way to do this without needing to write a macro, but haven't found one. Not sure how I would do so with a macro either, so any solution would be helpful. Thanks!

MS Word Forms - IF ... THEN...

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 07:42 AM PST

I have created a Form in Word 2003 and have managed to create a combo-list drop box with a list of required groups.  However I would like to the form to populate another field with a specific names one a selection has been made.  I assume a 'IF...THEN..." statement would be best, but am stuck trying to work out the process.  The list exceeds the 25 choice limit, thus the comb-list drop box created in VBA.

 

The initial part of my VBA is as follows (changed for necessity):

 

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()    

           ActiveDocument.FormFields("ColourGroups").Result = Me.ComboBox1.Text

End Sub

 

Private Sub Cmdclose_Click()    

           Unload Me

End Sub

 

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()    

          ComboBox1.ColumnCount = 1       

             'Load data into ComboBox       

             ComboBox1.List() = Array(" ", "Blue", "Red", "Yellow", "Brown", "Green")

End Sub

 

So what I want to appear on my Form, for instance, is that if I seleect Blue the name John appears on the form adjacent to it, Red will display George, Yellow will display Sarah, Brown will display Fred, and Green will display Paul.

 

Any suggestions?
