I"Edit" category drop dowm menu on my Command Toolbar at the top of my Word 2003 is gone.

I do not see the "Edit" category drop dowm menu on my Command Toolbar at the top of my Word 2003.  The other commands are there: File, View, Insert, etc.  I used "customize" under "View" Toolbars but can't seem to add an entire category to the top toolbar. 

Default Multiple Line Spacing setting and At setting, Word 2013

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:37 AM PST

I'm trying to change my line spacing back to Word 2013 defaults and had taken a screen shot of the original settings. Under the Paragraph Indents and Spacing Tab, Spacing, Line spacing was set to Multiple and At was set to 1.08, In Word 2010, it used to be Multiple at 1.15. Did they change it?  Bottom line, if anyone has installed Word 2013 and not changed default settings here, I would like to know what you have in the Line Spacing and At boxes on the Indents and Spacing tab. Thanks in advance.

Also, if you go to the Design tab, Document Formatting, Paragraph Spacing, and point to Default, a screen tip appears telling you Default Line Spacing is 1.08. This article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/change-the-default-line-spacing-HA102809684.aspx says, "he default line spacing in Microsoft Word 2013 is 1.15. " but how can that be true? Even their own screen shot in their step 3 shows "At" set to 1.08.

Iterate Sequentially through the Content Controls Collection

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:09 AM PST

Obtaining details from a collection of content controls is fairly straight forward:

Dim cc as ContentControl
Dim docCCs as ContentControls
Dim arrData() as String
Dim i as Integer
Dim myRange as Range
Set docCCs = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTage("summary")
x = docCCs. Count
For Each cc in docCCs
i = i + 1
Set myRange = cc.Range
arrData(i,2) = myRange.Text
Next

When you run this code, all of the Content Controls with a tag of "summary" are returned to the collection.  Then, for each of these returned controls, the text that they hold is passed to an array.  So far so good...but here is also where my problem arises.

There is a property of a content control called ID that sets the sort order for the returned controls.  Because of this the values in the array are not in the sequential order presented in the document, they are in ID order.  The system generates the ID and it cannot be manipulated. 

Is there another method for iterating through a subsets of Content Controls, as bove, that will produce values in the sequential order presented in the document?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Font size in text boxes

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 10:06 AM PST

Is there a way to format a text box so that the size of the font automatically updates according to the size of the text box? For example, if I've created a drawing using AutoShapes and made these shapes into text boxes, can I format them so that once I make the box smaller or larger, the font becomes smaller or larger? 

I suppose it would be like locking an aspect ratio, though it would be the ratio of text to box.

I know there's the option of "Resize AutoShape to fit text," but I'm really looking for the opposite effect. 

Thanks

Word 2010 - Page Number Start at does not start at 1

Posted: 18 Feb 2013 08:41 AM PST

 

Clicking in  a section section( Section 2) and the Insert/Page Number/ Format Pages:

 

For a new section - 2 the page number wants to start at 2.  I can change the number to zero and it will start at zero.  When I change it to 1 it wants to start at 2.  I can change it to 2 and it will start at 2.  I want it to start this new section at 1. 

 

The Continue from Previous section is unchecked.

 

What am I missing here?  Thank you.

Word 2003 is no longer using templates when I start a new document

Posted: 17 Feb 2013 05:22 PM PST

For the past few weeks I have noticed that when I start a new document in Word 2003, all I get is a blank page within Word. There is no formatting and if I try to use one of my previously created templates, I still get a blank sheet.

If I open a previously saved Word document all appears to be fine.

Can anyone help please?

Finish & Merge Word 2007 filter issue

Posted: 16 Feb 2013 05:50 AM PST

When I try to Finish & Merge Word 2007 will not hang on to the filter I created in Edit Recipient List instead it returns all records.  How can I over come this?  The filter applies to 2 separate fields 'equal to' and 'is blank'.  I have not had this problem before but only normally filter on one field containing one condition.

How do I change back to W7. W8 is terrible. I lost my word entries etc

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 06:14 PM PST

Does not handle Word 2010 messages because of classification such as xml designations. My previous record is virtually wiped out. This should be automatically assimilated into w8. How do I fix it? I think I may go back to w7...........

Can shortcuts be assigned to dropdown values in Word forms?

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 01:48 PM PST

I've created a form in Word 2003 that has 3 options (Yes, No, N/A) and I'm wanting to find a way to allow people to reach the field by tabbing through the form, and just press Y or N to select an option from the dropdown.  Obviously N will need to be pressed twice to toggle from No to N/A but this is fine; the main ideal is to prevent the mouse from being required.

I know of the Alt + Down arrow shortcut, as well as pressing F4 on the keyboard, but I'm hoping for something a little more user friendly.  Surely there's got to be a way to make the dropdown work like every other dropdown online where you just press the first letter and it jumps to an option that matches.

Is there a way to ink/use the pen beyond page border in word 2013?

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 01:30 AM PST

Hello,


I was editing some word doc files with my pen and I noticed that I am unable to write any notes beyond the page border.

 

This makes it quite difficult to get some notes in there that has to be on the page.


is there a way I can use the pen/ink in the grey area around the page borders?

 

Thanks in advance,

Allan
