Watermarking a Word 2010 Document, only the cover sheet or the remaining pages can be watermarked, but not both?

I am able to watermark either the cover sheet, or the remaining pages of the document. When I try to watermark the other part of the document the initial watermark disappears

Can't wrap text in footer

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 09:41 AM PDT

Hi,
I have a logo I need to insert into a footer and I need to have text wrap around it. I've tried setting the text wrap properties of the graphic but nothing is working, the text goes in front of the graphic and doesn't wrap no matter what setting I choose. I also tried putting the graphic (a simple .png) in a table and set the table properties to wrap text around the table, but that doesn't work either.

Text wrapping will work in the body of the document, just not in the footer for some reason.

I finally did a clumsy workaround where I inserted both the text and graphic in a table into the footer, and that worked to some extent, but why wouldn't things wrap normally in the first place? Is a puzzlement.

I don't have a printer.Working on wireless laptop,What can I store my document on to take to local library and print out document?

How to call a Sub with parameters

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 01:28 AM PDT

Hello, I am working ni Word 2013 and now try to go passed the spagetti programing. I would like to call a Sub and also send in some parameters.

 

I call the Sub like this:

 

WriteTextToBookmark ActiveDocument, "Company6"

 

And the Sub looks like this, I have moved the dimensions to under Option Explicit in the beginning:

 

Sub WriteTextToBookmark(doc As Word.Document, bkmName As String, newText As String)
  
  ' Dim rng As Word.Range
   ' Dim doc As Document
    Set doc = ActiveDocument

If UserForm2.TextBox1.Text = "" Then
    Set rng = doc.Bookmarks(bkmName).Range
    rng.Text = ""
    doc.Bookmarks.Add bkmName, rng

Else
   If UserForm2.TextBox1.Text <> "" Then
     Set rng = doc.Bookmarks(bkmName).Range
     rng.Text = UserForm2.TextBox1.Value
     doc.Bookmarks.Add bkmName, rng
   End If
End If
 End Sub

 

I have copied this from some other support answer and modified it with for example UserForm2.TextBos1.Value.

 

 

I get an error message when calling the Sub. Do I put the parameters wrongly? I have tried without "" around my bookmark name.

 

Grateful for an answer on this problem.

"Word is experiencing a problem opening the file... "when I try to open a few documents I have posted on Blackboard thru VCU. I can open some items but not others and I can not detect a common thread!

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 05:42 PM PDT

This has never happened before so I am puzzled. It also happens exactly the same way on my wife's laptop so I do not think it is a problem with the computers themselves. The documents I am trying to open are basically Word items related to the classes I am teaching.  Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Word Cross Refs suddenly show as {pageref bookmark}

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 04:33 PM PDT

I've used Word cross refs for years, insert page numbers from my bookmarks. Suddenly today, all of my cross refs in a very long doc appear not as page numbers but as {pageref} with the name of the bookmark inside the curly braces. Can someone tell me how to get just the numbers back? Thanks VERY much. James Morrison

Table of Contents MS Word 2010

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 04:33 PM PDT

Hi Microsoft Community,

I wanted to share a problem that I currently have with MS word 2010 regarding table of contents.

The issue I'm facing is that when I update my table of contents using References > update table, it adds the picture on a particular page to the table of contents.

It also adds the table of contents page to the contents table index.

Also note that I've completed at least 12 other word documents using the table of contents update method mentioned and it didn't have a problem.

How can this problem be solved?

Thanks.

Why does Word create empty pages on my document?

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 12:42 PM PDT

I'm typing a document that has two columns of bulleted information. The problem is even though all the information only takes up a page there are two more empty pages after the end of my work. At first I though it was empty space and I tried to delete it and every time I pressed delete it would take away a character from the end of the first page. That is so weird! How can I have two pages that I did NOT put there and I can't get rid of them? I thought, "Ok, I'll just copy the information onto a new document"-same thing. Then I tried to save it as a PDF and even the PDF file has the two extra pages.

Build a Word document based on user selection

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 11:48 AM PDT

I need to create a word template, so that a user can open the template, select which sections are required, and then be able to save it as a docx. That document, once open, should not show or print any sections not selected, not have any controls visible or able to have sections be unhidden.

 

I'm not that great with VBA, so any help, or suggestion of a 3rd party product is aooreciated. Heck, I'd do it in Excel if it was easier.

 

Thanks

My computer crashed, I lost everything, don't have the product key to reinstall Microsoft word. It came on the computer.

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 11:42 AM PDT

Someone hacked into my computer. They said they were from Microsoft, and that my computer was getting ready to crash. I believed them at first and gave them remote access to my computer. When I became suspicious and wouldn't buy what they were selling, my computer did crash. I lost everything, and had to start all over as if my computer was a new computer. Microsoft Word(can't remember which one) was installed on my computer, but the crash wiped out everything that was previously on my computer.  I am not a computer whiz, so I am at a loss as to what I should do to regain my Microsoft Word without having to install a new one that I have to pay for again. Please help!!!!

Paragraph that flows with an automatic indentation on the next page

Posted: 14 Jun 2013 07:44 PM PDT

I have Windows 7 and am using Word 2010.  I am working on a document that contains footnotes.  One of my long paragraphs that flows to the next page, automatically indents the first line on that next page.  My document is about 13 pages long and this does not happen with the other long paragraphs that flows to the next page.  Only this one paragraph.  I have check my formatting, tabs, indentations, and used backspace.  Now it looks right on the screen, but not when I print the first line is still indented. 

The actual Word document opens in the corner in a small window

Posted: 13 Jun 2013 10:55 PM PDT

When I open a new Word Document, the actual document in white, opens in a small window at the top left corner. Attached is a snapshot to explain the issue better. How do I resole this and get the documents to open in normal mode. (This happens only with MS Word).




Thanks
