Opening a document typed on Microsoft Word Starter 2010 in Microsoft Works.

Posted: 01 Mar 2013 01:34 PM PST

I typed a document on my laptop with Microsoft Word Starter 2010.  I emailed it to my dekstop to print it, but it won't open there.  The desktop has Microsoft Works.  Is there a way to get the document to open on my desktop?  My printer is not wireless, so I can't send the document to the printer from my laptop.


Word 2010 and 2013 on same machine?

Posted: 01 Mar 2013 12:16 PM PST

A friend installed Office 2013 and now takes a course on Word (2010), and they give her a disc for Word 2010.

Can she install it without hosing 2013? (I know you should install the oldest first, but too late for that, and 2013 is not good for re-installs anyway.)

Thanks,
Mel

How to pause a macro to insert text?

Posted: 01 Mar 2013 07:48 AM PST

I am trying to create a macro in Word 2010 that will pause to let me insert a zip code.  This is the code I have so far, but I can't figure out how to get it to pause so I can insert the actual zip code.  How do I insert the necessary pause command?  "Dummies" answer preferred!

 

Sub ZipCode()
'
' ZipCode Macro
'
'
    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "BARCODE  \u 32247-2049 ", PreserveFormatting:=True
End Sub

 

 

stop prompt box

Posted: 01 Mar 2013 07:02 AM PST

I receive a form that was in a .docm format, although I could find no macros.  Whenever I saved to a dotx in Word 2007, it would give a prompt box.  I revealed codes and saw there were stray fields with "FILLIN MERGEFORMAT".  I deleted all of the fields, but the prompt still comes up.  At least now I can hit either OK or Escape and it will go away, but how can I make it stop completely?

Picture control

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 04:04 PM PST

Word 2010 I inserted a Picture content control in a text box to make my form look nicer and also to be able to insert the picture control  anywhere on the form. The picture content control works if I don't protect the form. But if I protect the form allowing only "the form can be filled", the picture control becomes unusable, I guess it locks along with the text box? I had a workshop for college faculty and staff and this happened which was unexpected. My textbook says it can be done. Is there a way to get around it?

Cut few items from numbered list and preserve the original numbers

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 11:14 AM PST

I have many long numbered lists such as,

01. item 1
02. item 2
03. item 3
04. item 4
05. item 5
06. item 6
07. item 7
.
.

Suppose, I select bold items by feature "Select all text with similar formatting (No data)" and cut-paste them to another document, the numbering changes in the main document and looks as follows:

01. item 1
02. item 2
03. item 4
04. item 7
.
.
(Which I don't want, because I want to preserve the original numbers for those items)

And as for another document where I pasted the cut items, the numbering there starts from 01. which again, doesn't preserve my original numbers

Is there any way to do the such cut-paste and keep the original numbers throughout the documents?

Word template prints error message and populates words wrong

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 10:39 AM PST

Hello.  We created a .dotx word template for reports that will populate such things as he or she for each report and it works great.  When you view the document on screen everything appears as it should, however, when you go to print the document it shows an error message at the top of each page and changes some of the populated text to other selections.  For example, if we had he throughout the document it would change to she when it prints.  Any ideas on what could be causing this?

We are able to select ctl-shift-f9 tor remove all of the formatting and that takes care of the problem but I'm hoping we can fix it to avoid that step for every report.

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 06:54 AM PST

Hey everyone

I am converting windows Word 2003 file to windows Word 2007 files but some of them are password protected. Is it possible to convert a microsoft word 2003 file protected with a password to a Microsoft Word 2007 file without knowing the password and still keeping the file password protected ?

If not please tell me because I've been searching for days and I'm starting to loose it

I'm working on a windows 7 computer.

Mark Comment as Done

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 06:43 AM PST

Is there a keyboard option for marking comments as Done in Word 2013? The only option I find is for a right click. I'm also not able to find the option in the Quick Access Toolbar commands.

 

Thanks in advance

Content Control Text Box stays hidden when data entered

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 04:20 PM PST

I have a template where the first half of page 1 is a table that has content control text boxes in the cells.  About half of the content controls do not revert to non-hidden text when data is entered.  The other half work properly. 

 

How can I make all content control text boxes clear the hidden property when text is entered in non-design mode?

 

Thanks,

machine translation unavailable

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 03:57 PM PST

In Word 2010 (Office Home and Business 2010), the machine translation option is greyed out and cannot be enabled, no language pairs are available for translation and, under Mini translator document translation languages, the translate from and translate to options indicate 'No Services Available'.

why doesn't spell check automatically correct a mis-spelt word?

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 08:04 PM PST

Often, Word does automatically correct an error as I want and expect ... afterall I have ticked the option for automatic correction to take place. But on some occasions it does not happen and when I right-click on the offending word, MSWord offers only 1 suggestion of a correct alternative. The one suggestion is always the correct spelling. Why in these cases doesn't the automatic replacement occur?  TIA ... Greg

Find/Replace not "finding" certain paragraph marks (or tabs) in Word document

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 02:19 PM PST

This involves a project that was part of the underlying subject of another discussion on the forum about repeating a macro, but because this involves a different technical issue, I thought it would be appropriate to start a new thread. 

I have a document containing downloaded data that I'm trying to reformat into a table.  Doing that requires inserting some delimiters and "cleaning out" some "trash".  As I received the information, it included what appear to be additional "paragraph marks" that I wanted to remove.  I used Find/Replace to look for ^p^p and replace that with ^p.  It returned "not found."  Apparently, Find/Replace will change those paragraph marks individually to Tabs without any problem, but when I then try to replace ^t^t with ^t, again I get "not found." 

It's acting like there's something "between" these so that Find doesn't see them as "pairs", but I have "Show all formatting marks" set to ON and cannot see any spaces (or anything else) between these pairs (either when as paragraph marks or as tabs).  The only thing I can think of is that the information that follows these pairs consistently has hyperlinks, so I thought that might be causing Find/Replace not to "find" these pairs.  But, if that's the case, how could Find "see" all of these individually? 

I couldn't figure out how to make Find/Replace look for hyperlinks that may be affecting part of these pairs. 

I've already posted a piece of the document at http://sdrv.ms/13AfJVA (examples of the culprits are at ~lines 13 & 14, and elsewhere throughout the document).  If someone could take a look at it and tell me what's going on and why I can't get Find/Replace to get rid of these excess paragraph marks, I'd appreciate it.

Also, is there a reference somewhere that identifies what conditions make things "invisible" to Find/Replace?
