created a word document with screen saver shots and now looks like code or gibberish

Posted: 01 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT

I created a document for my online class using screen saved shots.  It looks great when I do it but when I submit it, it looks like gibberish.  Funny characters have replaced my work.  I resubmitted it a second time thinking it looked okay but when I opened it up it was all distorted and no screen shots were there.

Help me!

transfer autocorrect from 2007 to 2010

Change Word defaults (capitalization)

I am sick of Word changing the first character on a new line to a captial letter.  How do I turn off this foolish feature?

I've lost one-half of my document!

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:40 PM PDT

I am using Office 2010.  In adding text to my ten-page document, suddenly the last half of the document disappeared.  After the last good page of text I have a series of rectangular boxes that are blank.  I have looked in the Recycle Bin, and I have done a search for the doument, but I only come up with the corrupted copy.

 

If I do a System Restore to an earlier period, will that only reflect Windows files?  If so, does Word maintain periodic backups of documents in progress, if I knew where to look for them?

 

Most frustrating.

Word Shuts Down

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 09:20 AM PDT

Hi, I have an approximately 5 year old Dell Inspiron 1521 running Vista.  I purchased and installed Office Professional Plus 2010.  Ever since original install I get an error stating I need to enter the disk as if it were the original install.  I've done all it asks many times, but it says "the file I need is not on the disk".  Yesterday it was asking for DATA1, but my search produced no results.  However if I just click it off, everything has worked fine.

 

Until now.  When I open Word, I can open a document and start updating, and after a few seconds it just vanishes--the program shuts down, none of my work is autosaved, it's all just gone.  I have reopened and started over, only to have the number of seconds decrease each time. 

 

Although I don't claim to be an advanced user, have been a Word/Excel user since I helped with usability testing in the conversion from Word for DOS to Word for Windows.  I don't think this is a user error.

 

Any help is appreciated. 

Unable to download MS Office files from email attachments

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Hi:
I am unable to download MS Word, Exel files from email attachments because I am getting an error. When I try again, a prompt appears and it tells me that I have to repair. Has anybody here had any problems similar to this? I am also having problems with Mathtype equation editor and it is also crashing Office365. It seems to be incompatible with O365 for some reason or the other. Mathtype tells me that their product is more stable with the desktop version O365 rather than the downloaded version of O365 Anyone had any issues with this as well?

My 2010 Word 64bit crashes on opening after trying to open a PC created docx but revised on a Mac machine.

My 2010 Word 64bit crashes on opening after trying to open a docx created on my PC but with comments and corrections made by revewer on a Mac machine. Both document and revision are very important.
The archive opens, but the program crashes when I press the "allow editions" (don't know exactly the name of the button on english version) button on the yellow info stripe. After that, Word 2010 crashes on opening every time I try to open any docx, restoring functionality only if the registry is fixed.
How can I rescue the document without loose the changes/revision made without going mad?

What is the little backwards P that shows up every time I open a Word document?

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 04:49 AM PDT

Every time I open a word document a little backwards P shows up. Sometimes it is all over the place. Does it mean "post" or "paste"? It does show up every time I click on "Paste". It is very annoying. This started to happen all of a sudden. I do not remember it always being like that. How do I get rid of it, or should I worry about it. It does not show up in the finished product. ?????

Thank you,

The combinational keys don't work

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:04 AM PDT

Hi

I've recently got a problem with my Word 2010. and the thing is that the combinational keys don't work in it. and what I mean by the combinational keys, are the keys that are related to Crtl and Alt. for example I cannot select all of the text by pushing Crtl+a or copy by Crtl+c and etc.

I'm a reporter and my main work is by Word and this trouble slows me down too much. thank you for your help.
