Microsoft Word - Full Cross Reference

Microsoft Word - Full Cross Reference

Full Cross Reference

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:28 PM PDT

If I have a document that contains multiple levels and I want to cross reference Paragraph 3.c.  Is there a way to use the full context "Paragraph 3.c." rather than simply cross referencing c.

 

Paragraph 3.  Text

        c. Text

 

Later in the document I'd like to cross-reference the entire reference to Paragraph 3.c. and have it point to c.

 

Is there a way?

How can I reduce the space between paragraphs and examples?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:02 PM PDT

To be clear: the space between lines within my paragraphs is fine. The space between one paragraph and the next is fine. But when I place example sentences (this is a paper about linguistics) between two paragraphs there is too much space. To illustrate (placed in bold so you can tell where the illustration begins and ends):

The concepts of subject and topic are not the same, as neatly illustrated in (a), based on an example from Van Valin & LaPolla 1997:252).

 

    (a)  Speaker A:  Who won the ball game?

         Speaker B:  The Giants won.


The subject of Speaker B's sentence is The Giants, but the topic (the entity new information is being provided about) is the winner of the game.


If I were to start the example on the very next line after I introduce it, and continue my discussion on the very next line after it, that would not be enough space. But if I skip two lines, as I did here (and as I always do), that's too much space. One solution would be to place examples with a table and adjust the height of its rows. But that's extra work, and does not let me see what sentence I'm trying to refer to elsewhere in the document when I go to Alt-S > RF (i.e. References > Cross-reference).


Thanks for your help.

Are there any known problems with users of Word 2007 and earlier versions filling in forms created in Word 2010?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 12:41 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I'm preparing to deliver some training on the use of forms created in Word 2010 (for reference they are using Windows 7). These forms will be distributed via email and also via links on a website (which will open the form in Word).  However, we have no way of knowing which version of Word the user will be working with when completing the form.  The form is to be submitted by email attachment.

 

Does anyone have any words of advice?  I was contemplating creating the form in Word; but adding the fields in Acrobat so users could use Acrobat to complete the form.  Again, this poses a question about version functionality.

 

I'd be really grateful for your thoughts.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Kind regards

Mail Merge Labels Help

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I am creating a mail merge label document using an excel data file.  What does a ? with a box around it mean?  That symbol is showing up on my labels here and there.  Mostly between the street address line and the City/State/Zip line. It looks like maybe there is a carriage return there.  The data file contains two columns, one for the name and one for the address.  The only way I have been able to fix this is either edit each label after the merge or separate the Street and City/State/Zip lines into two colums before the merge.  Is there an easier way?  Thanks

deleting one section break next page converts another on an earlier page to Continuous

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 02:05 PM PDT

A client sent me a document in which she wants to delete page 6 text and a Section Break (Next Page) from  page 5. When she does that, a Section Break (Next Page) existing on page 1 suddenly turns into a Section Break (Continuous). What the heck is going on? Why would removing section 3 cause the division between sections 1 and 2 to suddenly modify itself? I watched it happen this afternoon and am astounded (an amazed). has anyone encountered this before? 

Client is on Windows XP with Office 2007, not sure what service pack but probably as updated as 2007 can get.

Word is spastic and jumps up and down when cursor clicked

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 06:07 AM PDT

Word has gotten spastic over the past few months,

 

I am writing a 2,000 page document and almost every time I move and click cursor - the page jumps up and down dodging the cursor around, highlighting and deleting lines by itself. - I am using a laptop with a mouse & have disabled the touchpad.

 

It is far too frustrating to continue using Word unless this can be corrected- I be forced to choose Apple for a more stable writing platform.

 

mail merge field label depends on field value

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:02 AM PDT

I am creating a directory listing with an array of labels followed by field values from Excel. One of the labels varies depending upon the value in another field. I have tried something like  {IF{MERGEFIELD Type} = "A" "A*" "B"}. SHIFT-F9 does not hide the instruction and it prints as tho it is the desired text.

I have a similar instruction for another field to control whether the field shows and that works fine.

 

Can I accomplish what I want to do?

Adding custom colours to the colour palette

Posted: 31 May 2013 05:46 AM PDT

We have developed a colour palette for our project which uses a number of custom colours.  We have already set up a range of templates using these colours for headings and text etc but it would be helpful if we could add our colours to the colour palette in Word, Excel and Powerpoint etc so that we don't have to select them using the RGB numbers each time we create a new document.   I know they save as a recently used colour but these are lost at the end of each workday.

 

This function wasn't available in previous versions of Office but I wondered whether it has been addressed in Office 2010?

 

Thanks

Is it possible to use autocorrect to scan and correct an existing document/text block?

Posted: 31 May 2013 02:34 AM PDT

I have had to proof read/correct many documents all of them with the same simple error.  I added an entry into the autocorrect list but to make it perform the action I am placing the cursor after the word and pressing space.  What I would like is to have this done automatically either as I open the document or perhaps on demand via a command.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks in advance.

Office 2010 crashes after saving a document

Posted: 30 May 2013 11:09 PM PDT

Hi

After saving a document and trying to leave Word 2010, I get the following message

"Changes have been made that effect the global template, Normal. Do you want to save the changes?" I have answered both yes and no.

I haven't changed any settings to effect the template. 

The program then crashes.

Any suggestions?

Word 2010 Smart art graphics/diagrams will not print - just random text box outlines

Posted: 30 May 2013 09:30 PM PDT

Multiple users in my organisation and others have found that when using smart art graphics or just text boxes to create flow charts etc, when printing the graphics don't appear, instead just random parts of the text box outlines show up - a single line not the whole box.  We have tried converting to PDF using our PDF application and then printing but the same problem occurs.  The only solution I have come up with so far is to use Save & Send > Create PDF/XPS document to print a PDF.  Using the print to PDF function does not work.  Initially, I thought it was  a conflict with our printers but have now heard someone from another organisation who said they have the exact same problem and they tried my solution and it works.
