Hi, I have no idea how to do programming or macro writing in Word.
My question is if I write say "hello" at the bottom of the current page after writing the letter, the header and footer of the current page appears on the next page together with page number at the header.

Envelope printing problem in Word 2010

Posted: 30 May 2013 01:05 PM PDT

In Word 2010 after typing a letter, then highlighting the address I go to 'Mailings' then 'envelopes', then print.  For some reason the envelope now prints with very large text.  I have checked the font and it is on size 12.  Any suggestion as to what might have gone wrong.

How expand a 1.1.1 type heading down to the 1.1.1.1 level

Posted: 30 May 2013 01:01 PM PDT

I may have Word 10 but I know it is at least Word 7. (Word 7 is what it says when I press F1; the old Help > About way seems to no longer exist.)

 

 In an important (by now 172-page) document I've been working on for about three years, I have headings running from 1 to 1.1 to 1.1.1, and now I realize I will need a 1.1.1.1 heading. I almost certainly established my current headings based on Shauna Kelly's masterful and detailed explanation, but now as I tried to expand down to level 4 (i.e. 1.1.1.1) I ran into trouble, and messed up my 1.1.1 headings. Fortunately I was able to retrieve a recent copy of the document with the headings intact.

 

With my now septuagenarian brain, I would hate to start the process all over again step by step, for fear I would REALLY mess things up as I did already in my earlier attempt. If we assume (as I'm 99.99% certain we can), that my current headings were created in the list style recommended by Shauna, could someone please provide a series of simple steps for simply extending my present system down to level 4?

 

Many thanks!

Mail Merge using distribution group as From

Posted: 30 May 2013 09:15 AM PDT

I have Office 2007. I am using Word, Excel and Outlook.

When trying to do a mail merge I am able to get everything that I need with the exception of the From field in the email.

The email has my default email address in it.

I would like to use a group distribution in the From field.

Is there a way to do this?

Streamline mail merge and pdf creation

Posted: 30 May 2013 07:40 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

On a monthly basis I receive a report of hours contained in an excel spreadsheet where the data needs to populate a Word file in the form of a certificate. This is usually done using a mail merge from within Word. After the certificates are populated, I have to create a pdf of each file separately and then each of the certificates is emailed to a separate email address.

As I'm trying to streamline this process, I wondered whether anyone could offer any time-saving advice. I don't think I could save any time with the mail merge part, but it's very time consuming having to create a separate pdf file for each page in the merge results and then having to attach each file to a separate email. I wondered if a macro of some sort would help with this. Is it possible to click a button attached to a macro and have each page of the mail merge results create a separate pdf and then attach it to an email? Maybe I'm asking too much here but just thought I'd run it past everyone in case there is in fact some time saving function that I'm missing out on.

Really appreciate any advice.

Office XP on a 2nd PC

Posted: 12 Aug 2004 12:48 PM PDT

IIRC, Office XP for Small Business is an OEM only version, meaning that it
is tied to the machine on which it came preinstalled. So, the answer is no,
you will not be able to install it to your desktop.

No, I don't take my Ford to VW dealer to get fixed, Ifix it myself. Yes, I
understand the post is in the wrong subject; question remains unanswered as
to why you had to be so un-helpful. You could have chosen to explain where
her post may have been better placed, you (probably) could have helped her
out, yet you chose to be snide; I'm going to hope that is not your way of
life and I'm going to contribute it as per my point, that being it should not
be so difficult to obtain answers and solutions to problems caused by "fixes"
or issues more common than would seemingly appear, due to Microsofts
selective and misguiding way of making actual answers such as what will make
the machine work properly more easily found; instead of as per my last post,
three to five layers into any given FAQ. Also you left unanswered my several
questions about truthfully, how easy do you find workable solutions, and as a
matter of fact how many of those sol;utions do not create even worse
problems? Huh? You can tell us. Noone should think less of you, maybe (as I
would), MORE of your ability to be honest; and if'n anyone does think less,
guess what, they have the prob and why would you even give a F---? Not really
any skin off your nose, is it? I'm just trying to point out it becomes
frustrating with all these sp's which cause problems elsewhere with other
components at such rate as to make it difficult to remember "Oh, yeah, this
I've dealt with before, now what exactly / how did I fix this last time?"
OK? I truly meant no harm, just saw your less than helping reply and
snapped, forgive my taking it out on you, and yes, if in fact I did take my
Ford to VW, I'd not be surprised if the repairs were done incorrectly. Brings
to mind the question; where the heck do you get good advise / solutions for
problems with your machine; here from other users, right? Shouldn't they come
from MS? Again, are you applying SP2 right away? Peace, Love, Dope, R___

This is generally incorrect. The new kernel becomes default, but the old

Replacing kernels is one of the few things in Linux that really takes

When you are working with Project Server, then Project Web Access is the
recommended method for gathering actuals from team members. Is there no way
that you can set up Project Web Access for use by the remote team members?
Very simply, you are using the Project Server system contrary to how it is
intended to be used, which results in the problems you are seeing. Just a

Microsoft Word - code for manipulating footer

code for manipulating footer

Posted: 30 May 2013 11:18 AM PDT

Hello All!

I have a macro which creates a word doc and inserts some text via bookmarks.

I am struck badly when I was trying to modify the footer. This is what I was trying to do:

Footer in 1st Page: "Sample Text"
Footer in 2nd Page: "Sample Text".1
Footer in 3rd Page: "Sample Text".2

and so on.. so Footer in nth page would be "Sample Text".(n-1)

I am also trying to align these footers to the right hand side.

How can we do this using vba? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Word Styles don't save changes

How to begin page numbers at 1 on a different page other than the actual page 1

Posted: 29 May 2013 05:47 PM PDT

This is becoming a real pain and is more difficult than it should be.

I have a document that is over 400 pages.  The first 3 pages are title pages and a blank page.  i want the actual numbering to being at "1" on the page where the text begins, which is on the actual page 4 of the document.

Clicking the box for "Different First Page" merely takes it away from page 1 and makes the actual page 2 "1"...

I see no option whatsoever for formatting that I want "1" to begin on actual page 4.

The same goes for a header I would like to add.  I don't see the option to make it NOT APPEAR on the first 3 pages!

Please help, this is very frustrating.  I have been very adept up until now at Word, but this new Word 2010 is giving me fits.

Adding a numbered outline in Word 2010 Template/Form

Posted: 29 May 2013 05:20 PM PDT

I have created a "Process Template" in Office 2010 that requests the user to enter specific information in several sections. All those sections are working exactly as I want them to.

The last section is where I'm having trouble. This is where users need to describe each step of the process they are working on. I want the template to reflect the outline formatting:
 
1.
    a.
         i.
              i.i. (and so on)

The user should be able to start typing at the top level (1.) and continue as appropriate. This outline section needs to be flexible to allow the user to enter whatever content makes sense. In other words, there may be a step 1., and a step a., but no lower steps. He/she would then go to step 2. and repeat the outline format as needed.

I've requested help several times, but only receive feedback for creating the outline itself. I can do that, but need to know how to adapt the outline to my template.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Thank you,
Marilyn

autocorrect custom settings work fine on one document, but not on others

Posted: 29 May 2013 01:52 PM PDT


We have one document where the custom autocorrect settings work. We can copy that document and use autocorrect as we want to in those specific documents. But if we open another old document, autocorrect does not have the custom autocorrect settings we need. And if a new document is opened, the same problem occurs. Default autocorrect functionality is present in all documents, but the custom settings are missing.

The user recently upgraded from office 2007 to 2010 and moved his custom settings manually. Given that they work in this one document and its child documents, it seems the settings were moved properly, however other files fail to work, unless they are based off of this specific file.

I cannot see any settings that are different in autocorrect between a file that works and a file that does not work. Am I missing something? Is there a way to attach custom autocorrect settings to a single file, like I am seeing here? Is there a way I can import these custom settings to all documents?

I need these custom autocorrect settings to work in every file that is opened, all the time. At the moment the user is using the document that works as a template, and pasting in old documents to make files that work.... or else copying and renaming this file to make new documents.

Thanks!

Word 2010 - Normal Template, how to reduce size

Posted: 29 May 2013 08:58 AM PDT

In Word 2010, the Normal Template is very large ~2.8Mb. 

 

I have gone into the template content by renaming the "dotm" extension to "zip", and found that the largest items are in the "fonts" folder. 

 

(e.g. "font1.odttf", "font2.odttf", "font3.odttf", etc.)  There are 6 of these ranging in size from 132 kb to 1.4Mb.

 

I have tried to simply delete them, however the template becomes corrupted.

 

I do not want to create a new template since this one has all of my AutoCorrect entries, customizations, etc.

 

Is there a way to remove these font files without corrupting the template?

Previously, I had Microsoft Office Home And Student 2010 on my computer.  I have always run Windows XP.  I removed the MS Office 2010, then later I was advised I needed more RAM so as advised, I removed the old memory card and replaced it with a 1g memory card.  Recently I used the Office dvd to reload the Office suite.  I assume it's reloaded because it's listed in Add Or Remove and also in the Start Menu under Run All Programs.  Previously, I only used Word from the Office suite.  However, when I try to open Word, I get first the message Windows Installer and then Patch Package Cannot Be Opened.  I am a computer dinosaur and have no idea what a Patch Package is, and I have never seen the Windows Installer message before.  I also installed the Microsoft Fixit, but this doesn't help at all.  I thought I would just remove that Office suite and start over, but nothing happens when I try to do that.  Please, someone, help me with this.  Thanks.

I think you should pay attention to the issue #69129
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69129)
It is about smart font technology called "Graphite". If you know
something about OpenType technology, Graphite is very similar to it, but
has something that makes it the best smart font technology of all.
Beside that it gives better typographic control to a user, it was
originally intented to make it possible for any people to educate, to
type and work with a computer in their own language irrespective of (1)
to what extent the script that this language uses has sophisticated
behavior and (2) whether this language and particular script are used by
great or very small community. Graphite unlike OpenType is extensible,
free and open-sourced, so the point (2) is attainable with an ease. It
has many other advantages. In fact Graphite is really indispensable with
the issues of internationalization. Support for Graphite would much
simlify the process of localization of OOo and would give much
typographic potential to it.

Opening Word 2010 and document also opens, can't delete

Posted: 28 May 2013 11:47 AM PDT

When opening Word 2010, automatically a document is displayed that I can't delete. I save it then delete, close Word then open and the document appears again. I have checked read only and security settings but no answer there. I also reinstalled Office via the change a program instruction and no luck. Outside of that, Word still works OK. Question is how to delete the document and reinstate Word as it should be.

What is the future of "maintain compatibility with previous versions of word"? How will future (beyond office 2013) word maintain this compatibility?

Posted: 28 May 2013 08:06 AM PDT

I am upgrading to office 2013 from 2003. If I do not "maintain compatibility with previous versions of word" some of my formatting is lost. I am in the process of converting ca. 8200 doc files to docx and due to the formatting issues I am forced to use the "maintain compatibility" option.

My query is, in 3, 5 or 10 years time, what will happen then? Will I have to reformat my documents? OR will this "compatibility" option still be available / automatic?

How can I add a personalized image in labels?

Posted: 28 May 2013 07:15 AM PDT

My task: I have contact information and portrait photos of 100 people. They are listed (100 rows) in a sheet with columns 'FirstName', 'LastName', 'FilenameForImage'. How can I make labels with name and corresponding photo? All my 100 photos are in the same directory. I have tried to google but found only "constant" images. Thank you! Jukka

corrupted blank page on opening Word 2007

Posted: 27 May 2013 09:34 PM PDT

All of a sudden when I open Word 2007  the blank page that appears just shows the part of the document that would be printed.  It used to come when a page space that showed the entire document including the the area above and below the top and bottom margin.  It allowed me to adjust the top and bottom margins in the left vertical bar.  Now it doesn't.  How do I get the old/original work space back?  I have tried deleting the normal.dotm file to no avail.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Unable to open a word document, whether new or existing.

As soon as I try to open a word document with Windows 8 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. WIndows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'. This has now been going on for a week or so and no solution to the problem has occurred! I just spent the past hour trying the windows 'on-line repair program' and it still is not working!!! I have to say that i am not overly impressed with Windows 8!

Word Merge Switches

Posted: 27 May 2013 08:46 AM PDT

I have a one page merge document where one side is English and the duplex side is French.  The data file is Excel so I'd like the amounts on the French side to be the French format.  Is there a merge format switch I can use?  i.e.  make $4,123.45 to be 4 123,45$ on the French side?

Linking information from title page into headers and footers

Posted: 23 May 2013 08:32 AM PDT

Hi, I have text on my title page that I need to have included on my header and footer.  This information changes with each revision of the document.  Currently I have to change the information on my title page, then go to the header and footer and change the information there as well.  Is there a way to link the text on my title page to the header and footer so I only need to change the title page and the header and footer update automatically?

 

Eventually this document is going to become a template that other people will be using and the simpler the better.  :)

VBA to switch between User Names?

Posted: 28 May 2013 02:28 AM PDT

Hi there,

I am administrating documents using track changes to display changes that I make and changes that come from other sources. I am making all the changes and my User name is displayed.

I would like to use a different user name for the "external changes", I know change of user name can be done manually, but it will be tedious going back and forth.

So is there a way to make script to switch between my user name and a custom one to apply for external changes?

 

Inputs much appreciated!

How do you interline two paragraphs?

Posted: 27 May 2013 06:44 PM PDT

Hello, I want to show a translation between the lines of the original text.

For example I want these two paragraphs shown on alternate lines:

Les 27 pays membres de l'Union européenne sont finalement parvenus à s'entendre, lundi soir à Bruxelles. Au terme d'une journée de négociations, les ministres des affaires étrangères européens ont décidé de lever l'embargo sur les armes pour les rebelles syriens.
The 27 member countries of the European Union have finally come to an understanding this Monday evening in Brussels. At the end of a day of negotiations, the foreign affairs ministers of Europe decided to lift the embargo on arms for Syrian rebels.

like so:

-Les 27 pays members de l'Union européenne sont finalement
-The 27 member countries of the European Union have finally
parvenus à s'entendre, lundi soir à Bruxelles. Au terme d'une
come to an understanding this Monday evening in Brussels.
journée de négociations, les ministres des affaires étrangères...
At the end of a day of negotiations, the foreign affairs ministers...

Is it possible? I prefer not to manually create new lines as I want it to automatically adjust where the lines break based on upon text size & document width (just like normal paragraphs). So if the document gets wider, I want "come" to append to "finally", and "parvenus" to append to "finalement".

Thank you for your help

exit Track Changes fails

Posted: 27 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT

I am using the latest version of Word in Office 365. In a single one of my many documents, the Tract Changes feature seems permanently activated. When I open the document, a vertical line appears to the right of the text, with a large empty space further to the right (the reviewing pane?). I can toggle the Track Changes icon off, then select No mark-up, and the line and space disappear. I then save the document, in the hope that the vertical line and space won't reappear when I next open the document. But they do and when I print the document, without making any changes, the page has the same line and wasted space. Help, please!

Changing dates with Macros in Word

Posted: 27 May 2013 01:02 AM PDT

Hello, I have 2 questions:

 

- Is it possible to add 3 months to the current date and display it with a macro?

- Is it possible to let the date notation language differ per document? (For example, on an english offer the month will be 'May' instead of

'Mei' in the Dutch offer.)

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards,

Mail merge in Word 2010 with calculation result from Excel

Posted: 24 May 2013 08:11 AM PDT

I have an Excel worksheet that has the results of a survey. There are cells in which the survey results are calculated as a percentage (5 out of 10 respondents said "Excellent" or 50%, so the cell shows 50%)

There are different sections of the survey, and I need to send the results from each section to a different person in a customized email. I was hoping to do this via mail merge, but I can only get so far, because the cell where the percentage is shown isn't in a matching field.

Across the top I have the headers (Survey Section Leader) First Name > Last Name > Email > Section Name >Very Helpful > Not Helpful >Total Respondents > % Very Helpful > % Not Helpful

What I can't do is figure out how to insert, say, Row3 ColumnJ data into the merged document as a field. So I can have the message say at this point "In your <<Section Name>> <<R3CJ>> of respondents indicated <<Very Helpful>>."

Do I have this set up totally the wrong way? Am I trying to combine info (individual cells into mail merge) that shouldn't be combined? Will this nightmare ever end?

Any help  would be greatly appreciated.

When I try to print envelopes using Word2013, it runs the envelopes through without printing

Posted: 22 May 2013 07:04 PM PDT

Once it runs the envelopes through printing on them, if there is paper loaded in the printer, it will print on the paper what was suppose to be on the envelope. This printing is so far out of position it wouldn't be on the envelope.

word 2013 table messup

Posted: 22 May 2013 06:30 PM PDT

Normal tables, if you insert a table. If you type past the boundaries of the default box, then the box will automaticly extend to fit just one more letter. If you type in one more letter, then it will make room for another letter, and so on. I accidently did something to change that. Instead now, if I type to a point, then the box will extend to a TAB's worth, so I only fill about half of the table box with text when it extends. It will also shrink all the other boxe's vertical boundries. I don't know if I pressed something, accidently clicked a button on the pad, or what. I also don't know if my laptop type is effected it. I have a Toshiba Satillite L955, for those of you interested

 

P.S. "TAB's worth" refers to the space you create when you hit the TAB button
