Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer

Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer

Inserting Page Number in Footer

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Ok - this used to easy but Microsoft has now made it difficult.

I want to insert page numbers in the footer.  I like the "Page 1 of 3" page numbering. 

In the good ole days of earlier versions, you just started typing "Page 1 of" and word would complete the page numbering. 

In Word 2010 is doesn't work anymore. 

OK - so now I go into "Insert" then "Header & Footer" then "Page Number".  I scroll down and there I find my favorite "Page 1 of 3" page numbering.  Success Right?  No.  When I insert the page numbering all of the rest of the footer text disappears!  Cute huh?  Who dreamed that up?

Ok - so now I have a solution.   I insert the Page number in the footer (which causes the text in the footer to disappear).  I then copy the Page number, then click on "Go Back" which reinserts the deleted text.  I then past the page number back into the footer. 

I can't believe Microsoft would have created such an inefficient method of inserting page numbers.  There must be an easier way.

How do I insert page numbers into the Footer without deleting the text?

insert an autonumber in a paragraph

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 03:41 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Word 2010

 I am trying to insert an autonumber into a paragraph by using a Field (starting at 1).  I chose Quick Parts / ListNum / (none) and start at value = 1

The problem is the number displays as 1.1 instead of [1].  I have tried new multi level list to redefine the display (via Shuan Kelly site) but a black square bullet point appears?


Can someone help please as I stuck with this?

 

Thanks 

pop up window to register a word doc on own PC

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 01:59 AM PDT

Every time I open any and every word doc a window pops up to say 'This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from this document to other documents'. It's really annoying - I have to click them closed and then I can continue OK. This has begun since I used msconfig to tidy up services and other stuff to ensure quick start-up. I've done that before with no probs and I didn't tinker with the registry or office suite.

I think you can  type in one doc and it will simultaneously appear in another but that's a feature i never use.

Mystified I am!

Many thanks for any help.

create .pdf file in 2010 Office

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 06:28 PM PDT

I am trying to create a .pdf file for a Word 2010 .docx document.  When I SAVE AS from the .docx, it saves as a .pdf, but then I can't open the .pdf unless I have Adobe software.  In fact, I DO have Adobe Acrobat X Standard (which I purchased within the last couple of years).  But when I try to open the .pdf file I "SAVE AS"ed, I get an Adobe window that basically says my serial number from Adobe Acrobat X Standard is valid, but I need to purchase "Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard Windows" in order to open the .pdf file I created.

 

I don't understand what Adobe is doing except possibly a cash grab, but I thought there was a way to just save a Word 2010 document as a .pdf and have it open.

 

I'm very confused.  I'm really hoping someone can help me out.

 

Thanks.

Centring text in Word 2003

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 06:14 PM PDT

When I try to centre a single line of text in any document it centres all the text, when I go to another line to try to left align it all lines in the document are then left aligned.  It didn't used to happen and is occuring in both existing documents and new documents.

How do I kill a print job on a PC?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:49 PM PDT

This easy on my MacBook, but can't for the life figure out how to do this simple task of killing a Word print job on my PC.

I have a Brother HL 2270 Laser Printer which is great, but does not have any place on the printer to kill the job.

When printing on my MacBook, a printer dialogue box opens up, I click on the "X" and poof!  The print job stops - Easy!

When printing from my PC, there is no dialogue box and I can't find anyplace else to kill the job, either from within Work, or outside work.

Help me stop burning up expensive paper and Toner Cartridge ink!

Combining files into one folder

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:34 PM PDT

I write a series of lessons of 8 separate lessons - each one file.  They are scattered among many files.  So messy.  I want to move all of the lesson files into one folder for easy accessibility rather than hunting through all the files to find the one I want.
I am working in Windows 8.

Footnotes at the end of sections?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:28 PM PDT

Can I place footnotes at the end of sections rather than at the bottom of the page or at the end of the document?

 

Thank you.

Word completes 'includ' with 'include' with no warning or request, so typing 'included' becomes 'includeed'

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 12:00 PM PDT

I just installed Word 2013 and I often type the word 'included' in bid forms.  However, Word automatically adds the 'e' once I've typed 'includ' and as I continue typing I add an 'e' for the 'ed' part of the word but Word has already included it for me.

 

This is the only word I've found it act this way for.  What's up?  I don't want to randomly have Word type for me without notice.

Where do we change the autocorrect Replace as you type settings in Word 2010?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 11:19 AM PDT

We have a macro in Wordd 2002 that replaces all smart quotes with straight quotes to prep Word documents so they convert correctly when we create our mainframe files. We need to find the screen in Word 2010 where we change the "Replace as you type" options if there is such a thing.  We will be running Word 2010 on either an XP or Windows 7 pc.  In our version of Word these settings are on the Autocorrect - Replace as you type tab. For example, we uncheck "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" because the smart quotes don't convert properly.

 

Thanks for the help!!

A question about Sections (Word 2010)

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 10:52 AM PDT

 My document has three levels of organization, of which the top two are of concern here. I want the top level, 1, to have endnotes numbered in one continuous sequence, to simplify finding the right endnote. Each level 1 part has several level 2 parts within it. Each level 2 part should have a separate page header so the reader will know where he/she is down to level 2. To accommodate the first requirement, I give each level 1 its own Word Section. To accommodate the second requirement, each level 2 part must have its own Word Section. It seems that these needs are incompatible. Is there any way around this?

I have thought of modifying the endnotes to look like this: (D is the level 1 part and 3 is the level 2 part within D.)
D3, 27 Smith, Joe. Why We Love Dogs, p. 66. The 27 is what the endnote logic put in and the D3 is put in manually for each endnote in part D3.

This would not be difficult with macros but maybe there is a better way.

populate changing text

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 08:24 AM PDT

I think this is a pretty tough one.....

 

I have a form that has some checkboxes there is a block of text that will populate for each checkbox that is checked. I need to insert this text at a specific point in the document. Here's the tricky part though.... I need the text to change depending on answers in previous formfields

 

The issues discovered were (TextFormField1). They were discovered on (FormField2) at (FormField3)..... Etc.

 

Is there a way to get the text to change based on an answer in a previous form field?
