Update Bookmarks

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 08:35 AM PDT

I have a form that requires information to be inputted into many different locations in the document. I am trying to figure out a macro that fires on exit so that when the first form field is filled in it auto comletes the other fields that require the same information. For example Bookmark 1, 5, and 15 should all read the same. Can I put an on exit macro on bookmark 1 that will fill in bookmark 5 and bookmark 15. All bookmarks are text form fields.

Can text flow from wide column to narrow column?

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 01:41 PM PDT

A newsletter has two columns - they are not the same width for good reasons - on page 1. Pages 2 through N have two equal-width columns. Pages O through X do not have columns - just ordinary pages. Is it possible for text to naturally (be made to) flow from Page 1, Column 2 to Page 2 Column 1? The rest is drop-dead easy.

Mail Merge for Half-page Certificates

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 12:43 PM PDT

I'm trying to create award certificates for students who participate in student activities, like a science fair. The certificates are designed 2-up on a letter-size page. There are hundreds of certificates to produce, so I'm thinking mail merge is the way to go. Is there a template I can access, or a way I can set this up to use the mail merge feature in Word? Each certificate will include the student's name on one line, and the activity they parcipated in on the next line.

Word 2013 - Prompted every time to 'select program' to open new, docx files

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Using Windows 7 and Office 2013, I'm creating and saving brand new Word files as docx.  When I go back to a file and double click it, I'm asked EVERY TIME "what program do I want to use to open the file" with the selections of searching the web or using a program installed on my computer.  I chose Word every time, and continue to re-save as docx and try again with the same issue. 

And there are no Word logos next to my new docx file names either in the folder--just blank squares.  Whereas Excel and PPT files have the logos, I double click them, the files open up right away--I'm not asked to 'select a program' to open the file.

Please help, thanks!

editing the details pane information

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 06:01 AM PDT

How can I show "Last Saved By" in the details pane Word 2010. I know I can go into properties and see the info there, but it would be easier to view it in the details pane.

How can I make Word 2013 open in Draft View by default?

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 09:27 PM PDT

I use Word 2013 on a 14" laptop and the default view, Print Layout, is a colossal waste of space, but I can't get the program to open in Draft View by default. Have done the following:
  • Changed settings to "allow documents to open in Draft View"
  • Saved documents in Draft View...they re-open in Print Layout
  • Tried to change New Document template to Draft View but new documents still only open in Print Layout.

I hope that the answer is not "you have to change to draft view every single time you open a document." There are already a lot more clicks / action in Word 2013 than in previous versions.


Have searched forums but there doesn't seem to be an answer for this in Word 2013.

Thanks for your assistance.

mergefield for date format not working after a computer upgrade

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 08:10 AM PDT

I recently had a computer upgrade, Prior to the upgrade when I used the mergefield format for a date field I could use {MERGEFIELD REQUEST_DATE \ @ "MMMM d, yyyy" } and it would show properly as January 1, 2013, now it will only show 01/01/2013.  Not sure what could have changed in the upgrade, I'm still using the same Word 2010 software.  Any suggestions on what I might need to do to get back to the proper formating of my dates?

How to save word file as normal .doc without '_files'.

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:05 AM PDT

We've just had a new computer set up in the office with Windows 7 and running MS Office 2007.

We have a web form for staff to fill in which then saves as a word (.doc) on the shared network drive. We then usually open these in Word, edit them, save them back as a .doc file then email them to head office.

Since having the new computer though, when we try and save the file after editing them, Word seems to create a folder with the same name as the folder but with '_files' at the end which contains 3 files.

We've tried using 'Save As' but then you seem to get stuck in a loop and it keeps asking where you want to save all the time.

When we had Windows XP we never had this issue so it was a case of editing them then either save or close Word and saving on exit and all was fine.


Thanks :)
