Microsoft Word - Adding Default Colors

Microsoft Word - Adding Default Colors

Adding Default Colors

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:45 PM PDT

In Font there are options for the font color with options for Theme Colors, Standard Colors, Recently Used Colors, and More Colors.  In order to get to our company's standard color (Dark Green), I have to navigate to the color picker and select it.  It's then there under Recently Used Colors but when I open a new document it doesn't stay there.  Is there a way to set our most used colors (which aren't a part of the Standard or Theme Color choices) as the default colors either in Theme Colors or Standard Colors?  

Stuck on CAPS

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 11:24 AM PDT

I was using my Office 'Word' app to write my journal and all the letters are coming up CAPS. Working the Caps Lock and Shift keys doesn't help at all. I only have problems in 'Document' and as you can see no problem when typing here or elsewhere. I can't connect it with anything new that I did.
Would appreciate any help you can offer.

ms word 2010 footnote numbering won't continue after section break

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:04 AM PDT

In Word 2010 I have a chapter (each chapter is a new section) which has a section break in it for a table that has to change page orientation (from portrait to landscape) - so the rest of the section (and thesis) is in portrait. Each chapter has footnotes that restart from 1 for each chapter. In this particular chapter footnotes 1-84 are OK then the landscape table occurs and then the chapter continues in portrait but I cannot get the footnotes to continue at 85. Word takes the absolute no. of the footnote (#892)! I have tried continuous & new page section breaks, forcing footnotes to start from 85 but all to no avail.

What is the trick/work around? Or what am I doing wrong?

When I try to open office it works for 10 seconds then it says cannot find dwwin.exe

Recently upgraded to Word 2013. Can't get it to print two A5 pages onto an A4 sheet

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 09:20 AM PDT

I often set up documents on A5 then want to print them as booklets, or at least side by side on A4 paper. When I try to select paper size within the Word 2013 print options, this changes the format of the document, not the selected paper in the printer. The same happens when I try to change the paper size within the printers own options menu. Just selecting number of sheets per page doesn't do the trick either as it assumes then that the paper is A5 size and prints two A6 versions in the corner of my A4 paper.

 

The old version of Word (2007) had no problems with this. What has happened?

How to fix error message from FilesaveAs macro? filesaveas macro gives error message of "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 12:26 PM PDT

I copied a macro from Allen Wyatt's WordTips site (http://wordribbon.tips.net/T011619_Setting_a_Document_Naming_Convention.html) to cause "Save As" to always insert the date into the file name.  It worked for a while and, recently, it has not.  Instead, it generates an error message of: 

"Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" and the word "Format" in the macro code is blue-highlighted in the VBA Editor. 

Here's the macro:

Public Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dim dlgSave As Dialog

    Set dlgSave = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)

    With dlgSave
        .Name = Format(Date, "yyyy_mm_dd ")
        .Show
    End With
End Sub

(The blue-highlighted is in the 4th line from the bottom.) 

The fact that the macro worked for a while makes me think that I must have done something else that somehow affected this.  But I don't know what that could have been. 

Any suggestions?

Selecting and typing over unwanted text...

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 04:15 AM PDT

Selected text used to automatically be removed when I type over it... but now when I select (highlighting) text I want to replace, it remains next to the new text.

 

Q: How can I revert back to it automatically being removed when I select it and type over it?

Footers

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 10:39 AM PDT

I have a document in Word 2010 that I want to put a page-of-page in the right corner of the footer, the date in the left corner and some custom text in the middle.  I would like the footer to be on every page but the header only on the first page.  I would also like the date and page number to automatically update.  The document does not have any section breaks.  I've been working on this problem on and off for days and can't seem to figure it out.
