Combine 2 documents based on Word's heading styles, one of which uses numbered headings

Posted: 26 Mar 2013 08:27 AM PDT

Hi,

 

A colleague of mine is attempting to create a handbook.  The majority of the information is held in 1 document which is broken down into different sections.  The text is formatted using Word's built-in Heading styles. The second document contains legal procedures, which is again, formatted using Word's built-in Heading styles; but this time they are numbered.  Hence the formatting of the document is quite different to the first.

 

We've tried:

copy and paste keeping source formatting

insert text from file

insert object

combine (and accepting/rejecting changes to keep all of the content - which I know isn't really what this is meant for)

 

I wondered if perhaps the problem was that the styles being used had the same names so they were inheriting their appearance from the Style Gallery.  So, I tried renaming the numbered Heading styles in the second document and I thought that I would be able to import the styles using the Organiser.  However, when I do this, as you probably know, Word wants to overwrite existing Heading styles with those I'm importing - even though they have different names.  I'm assuming that because of the style hierarchy and relationship between styles that maybe the tags stay the same.

 

My question is then, how can my colleague combine (or merge) her second document into her first, whilst retaining the formatting of each document.

 

Many thanks

Karen

How create a TOC from an outline?

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 02:26 PM PDT

I'd like to take a collection of recipes that's in outline format and create a TOC from it in Word 2010.  Specifically it's in the form of

1.  Appetizers
a.  Escargot
i.  Ingredients
1.  Snails
2.  ...
ii.  Directions
1.  Blah blah blah
b.  Steak Tartare
i.  Ingredients
...
2.  Entrees
...
3.  Salads
4.  Soups
5.  Desserts

Following the directions for creating a TOC (I'd also like to create an index, but one step at a time), I apply Heading 1 to each course (Appetizers, Entrees, etc.) and Heading 2 to each example (Escargot, Steak Tartare, etc.), but doing so takes away the numbering, screwing up the outline format, plus changes the font, color size.  I can correct the font changes, but I can't bring the numbering back.  Is there any way to create a TOC while preserving the outline formatting?  Thanks.

Make an INDEX

I have a long doc in MSW2010 with a TOC.  How do I make an index, with a hyperlink, to specific pages?

In office professional 2013, I converted a pdf file to a Word file. But the word file is a picture and I cannot edit it. I am running Windows 8.

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 01:20 PM PDT

I cannot edit text in any fashion.  Only can use the picture format commands.  The pdf file is all text--no graphics and it was originally done in word but have lost the original word file.  I scanned a printed copy into paperport resulting in a pdf file. 

Icons at the top of the toolbar disappear and went to the text field. words disappear too.

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 10:33 AM PDT

After typing for a while, the whole software goes haywire. the words intermittently disappear, and the icons on the toolbar disappear too. the minimise, exit button at the top right corner also vanished! Its sad i cannot post a screenshot here, but its pretty screwed up. the same goes for my powerpoint too. thinking it was an improper uninstall, i did an uninstall and re-install, and that did not solve the problem. kindly assist.


Restrict Editing disables Character Styles

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 09:58 AM PDT

Hi there.

I have created a number of styles for some colleagues to use rather than the default styles.

Ultimately I want to restrict people to these styles only.

I have created a style called CUSTOM BOLD - which is a character style and allows the user to apply bold to text within a paragraph. It works fine normally but as soon as I protect the document, whenever I apply this style, it changes the whole paragraph rather than the selected text.

Do I have to allow another style for this to work once protected?

Are there any better ways of allowing users to apply bold, italic etc.. inline without creating custom styles?

Help much appreciated

I can't delete an unwanted blank page in a Word 2013 document!

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 08:07 PM PDT

I have a document in Word 2013 which is supposed to be one page. Word added a blank page after the first page. I can just print the first page by selecting page one as the only one to print in the printer setup page. However, I got the one wanted page and the one unwanted blank page when I printed out a test sample of the form type document. I printed out the chosen number of the wanted page after I noticed the blank page and reset the printer setup page for the first page only. However to make sure I don't, in the future, accidentally print out numerous unwanted blank pages with the previous stated, or other, wanted documents, I need to know how to remove unwanted blank pages. The stated wanted page ended with a table. I've taken that into consideration in seeking a remedy. I have looked all over the forums and in two books on Word; but, I can't find any remedy that will actually remove the unwanted blank page. I have tried show/hide, delete, backspace, control + end, and a bit of profanity etc. Nothing works. I converted it from a Word (.docx) document to a .pdf in Acrobat XI pro, and then was able to easily delete the unwanted blank page. But, then the fonts didn't look right. So, I would like to find a certain battle plan that will always destroy completely any unwanted blank pages in Word 2013 that I choose to get rid of...

Table Style defaults to document font

Posted: 22 Mar 2013 09:15 AM PDT

I have created a Table style and have defined specific fonts for the header row, subsequent columns, etc.  If I insert a table into my document and then apply the table style, it formats the table using whatever font was active prior to inserting the table and not what I have defined in the table style. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
