Microsoft Word - mail merge - reciept number bumped by long address

Microsoft Word - mail merge - reciept number bumped by long address

mail merge - reciept number bumped by long address

Posted: 28 May 2013 02:07 PM PDT

Setting up mail merge to print tax reciepts.
Address and reciept number are on the same line.
When the address is very short, and reciept number is in the wrong place,towards the middle of the form, it should be near the right edge.
When the address is long the reciept gets pushed totally to the next line - yuck.
I have a pre-printed form so must comply with it.
How do I absolutely position the reciept number to the right edge of the form, no matter how long the address?

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?

I recently downloaded the Hebrew language pack so I could include Hebrew fonts in my documents.  However, I have not been able to figure out how to type Hebrew fonts.  Any suggestions out there?

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.  :)

I have very specific formatting requirements for all documents created with a TOC.  How do I create a TOC style/format that will be available in all Word documents?
