Microsoft Word - Need to hide chapter number

Need to hide chapter number

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 08:53 AM PST

I want to use Chapter Numbers in my document so that my page numbers show them (1-1, 4-13) but I do not want the "Chapter x" to show in the text of the document or in TOC. I read an earlier post that had this link http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/TOCTips.htm#UnnumberedHeadings as the answer. I did read this, but I confess I am still somewhat muddled as to how to apply this to my document. Is there a way to get the Chapter feature to work for the page numbers, but to effectively "hide" it from view on the document? Or am I going about this all wrong?

Find and replace

Posted: 15 Feb 2013 07:42 AM PST

When I am in word 2010 and it has been idle for an undefined time, i press any key and get the find and replace window. What should I do? Is it a setting? I already removed and replaced Office Suite 2010 and it still occurs. New development: when I just when back to Word (already open) and I press "." find and replace came up and now it won't go away. I have to go to the task manager and end task for word 2010. Should I place this laptop under the tire of my truck?

My MS Word keeps configuring each time I open a Word document. I am using Vista and Office Home and Student 2007.

Office 2007 (Student Ed.) Now using Office Pro 2007

Posted: 14 Feb 2013 02:58 PM PST

After the 2nd time installing Office2007 (Student) The Word program always appeared off colour/pixels greyish & fuzzy. Recently I installed Office Pro 2007, new copy downloaded from rep/authorised provider; having uninstalled the original Office2007 Student. However I have the same results;  Word , viz colour/pixels greyish & fuzzy;  so far it seems to be only in the Word Prog.  I opened Publisher, seems ok.

What are my options and procedure .

Making a list and numbers do not line up

Posted: 14 Feb 2013 02:43 PM PST

I have Word 2010.
I'm making a phone list. I put the Last Name, First Name then periods ........ and then the extension number like this:
Doe, John....................1122

The numbers are not lining up correctly. Some of them are off.
I've tried to redo many times but the are still off.
Please advise and thanks

Restrict Save with PW using Wword 2010

Posted: 14 Feb 2013 02:41 PM PST

How do I restrict Saveing a document with Word 2010 like I did with a "SaveAs" in earlier versions and adding a password?  I want to allow changes to the document, but i don't want to allow anyone to save those changes!  I can't find a process in Word 2010 short of using content protection which then disallows changes to the content in "run' mode.

Different "button" than the mailmerge button on a page?

Posted: 14 Feb 2013 02:02 PM PST

Hi all,

 

I have inherited some templates to update.  One of them uses the macrobutton field to fire a macro e.g.

 

MACROBUTTON  DeleteThisSection "Double-click if owned"

 

I asked the user who set it up why they used a macrobutton and they said so that it would not print (they set the font to "No color" so it does indeed not print).  The problem is, on some user's machines, if they do not have "field shading" turned on from within Word options, they cannot see this "button".

 

Is there any other type of object in Word - a true "command button" that I can place on the form that the user can use to fire a macro AND that does not show up when printing?

 

I also looked for an "OnPrint()" method that I could insert some code into to get rid of these fields first (so that I could change the font on these macro buttons to black instead).

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Text Form Field in Word form doesn't auto-update automatically consistently right away

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 12:31 PM PST

I created a form in Word 2010 that contains many Text Form Fields.  I want 3 of the Text Form Fields to auto-populate 3 other Text Form Fields in the document.  2 of the Text Form Fields auto-populate automatically just fine, but for some odd reason the third one doesn't update consistently right away (even though I created all 3 of them the same way).  The third field either doesn't update or it takes a while to update or it updates after I enter data in other fields.

This is how I linked the Text Form Fields:

1.       Right-clicked the field I wanted to auto-populate.

2.       Selected "Properties."

3.       Set the "Type" to "Calculation."

4.       In the Expression Box entered "REF" and then a space and then the bookmark name of the Text Form Field that contains the data I want it to pull from.

5.       Checked "Calculate on exit."

6.       Clicked "OK."

Note:  I want the fields to update automatically as the user tabs to the next field; I do not want the user to have to manually update the fields, so I decided to link the fields rather than use cross-references.  And as I previously mentioned, this does work correctly for 2 of the fields, but not for the third field.  Strange…
