Word 2010 changes, deletions and insertions showing on opening a document - not wanted!

Posted: 15 May 2013 05:50 AM PDT

Whenever I open a document in Word 2010 it opens showing the changes, deletions and insertions. I don't want it to do that! How can I set a "default" to open "normally"? Plus if I upload the file to a distant user it opens there with the changes etc showing! Infuriating! I know I can change the View on screen using the Track Options/Show Markup etc but it always opens with the changes showing! Grrrr!

Drag and Drop to Merge Documents

Posted: 14 May 2013 01:09 PM PDT

I was informed of a neat tool today for Word 2010.  Where you can Drag and Drop document s from Windows Explorer into a Word Doc to merge them together.  My problem is that it only brings in the first page.  i.e.

 

Doc1 = 12 pages

Doc2 = 4 pages

Doc3 = 2 pages

 

 

final merged doc..... 3 pages

 

Is there a step or flag or setting that I am missing to make this work correctly?

Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 14 May 2013 12:51 PM PDT

In all of the Office 2013 applications, when I print a document, the correct printer (Epson 2200) is identified, and several printing options are available (all on the page that appears after I first choose to Print).  There is no option there to allow a "Print Preview"; however there is a button to open the printer's "Properties".  Under Properties, I do have the option of a Print Preview, and I have always had that option chosen.  When I choose to print, however, it prints immediately without a Preview.  In all the non-Office programs I use I automatically get a preview, and having that ability in Office is important to me.  I have not determined the driver in use, but my guess is that it's one provided by Windows 7 (32 bit).  Three questions: 1 - is that likely the problem,  2 - if so, can I use the appropriate Epson driver, and 3 - if I can use the Epson driver, how do I make the necessary changes?  Under the required Office Topic below, I selected Word, but the question applies to all of the Office suite of programs.

I will appreciate any help.

Reference number and cross reference for equation numbers tp match the thesis format of our university

Posted: 14 May 2013 10:18 AM PDT

I am trying to create auto-count equation numbers for my long thesis. The format being used for the equations in our university is "(chapter-number)". And then you will cross-reference as : Equation 3-20

     F = m.a     (‎3-20)

So I have been forced to use "(" as the label and ")" as the caption text. But when I cross refernce I have these options (with the outcome of each option):

Entire caption              -> (3-20)       //has unwanted paranthesis
Only label and number -> (3-20        //unwanted opening parenthesis
Only caption text          -> )            //only the closing parethesis appears
Page number (unrelated)
Above/Below (unrelated)

If we had a "Only number" option my problem could be solved.  Now, How should I create the auto-number and how should I do the cross reference.

P.S: I don't have this problem with Figures, Tables, etc since the figure is references as "Figure 3-1: description" and cross referenced as "Figure 3-1", so I can easily use the "Only label and number" option. In the case of equations those parenthesis are bothering.

Word 2013: "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel"

Posted: 14 May 2013 06:03 AM PDT

Recently upgraded from Office 2010 to 2013.  All of a sudden (3 days ago) I started getting an error that reads "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel"

 

I have an excel spreadsheet that contains inventory information and I use Word to access that spreadsheet to print price tages.  Have never had an issue until now.

 

Process is to open the Word document which then gets the source data from Excel.  Word is open and Excel is closed.  Worked fine and until 3 days ago worked fine in 2013.

 

Now I get the error unless I open Excel first - just the app, not the source file.  When Excel is open all works fine.

 

Anyone else having an issue?

 

Also having a "just started" issue in Quickbooks Pro 2013 accessing an Excel 2013 file.  Works fine with Excel 2010 but won't work with 2013.
