How to insert references to self-defined SEQ-numbers?

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:21 AM PDT

In my documents I have numbered figures, tables and also "examples" (short programming code snippets).

I managed to define myself an independent SEQ number and the examples' captions get properly enumerated. Same as figures and tables they also get listed in my "table of figures" (which is what I want, although I have no clue why they appear there).

 

However, I have not managed, yet, to insert proper *cross-references* to these examples in my text. I would like to be able to refer to these examples the same way as I can do for figures and tables, like "see Example 5" but "Examples" do not appear under References => Cross-reference => Reference Types and hence I can not pick them for insertion.

 

How do I make my self-defined sequence number (or rather its label) show up in that drop-down list, so that I can also insert cross-ref's to my self-defined SEQ numbers?

 

 

Is it possible to change the default font size in Microsoft Office Word 2013?

It's not to much of a problem, but it would be useful to have the font size on '12' or '14' on startup instead of changing it every time Word starts up.

Style Preview Panel does not show correct formatting on styles with auto numbering

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 02:45 PM PDT

I opened my Style Window Pane to modify my heading styles and the preview Heading 1 style does not reflect the actual formatting of the style. For example, the numbering style for Heading 1 in the document is as follows:

 

I. Introduction

 

but the style preview panel shows as:

 

I. Introduction

 

I am seeing this happen to all of the styles with auto numbering, such as a numbered list style.  Is this a Word bug or has someone encountered this before and can provide me with a solution?

 

In Word, if I create a new template by going to "File" => "New" => "My templates" => "Blank Document, under Create New select "Document" and Ok.  If you open your style pane window, by using your keyboard short cut Alt, O, S, or selecting the dialouge box by selecting the dialouge box launcher in the "Home" tab under the Style section.

 

Once you have the style pane / window open, select the "Show Preview" button at the bottom to show the Styles in Preview Mode.  In order to see all your styles, select the "Options" to open the Style Pane Options.  Under "Select styles to whow:" select "All styles" and under "Select how list is sorted:" as "Alphabetical." and select Ok.

 

This will bring you back to your document with the style pane.  Scroll down to the "List" style, apply it to a paragraph with text and modify the style only (not the auto number) to underline.  You should see only the auto number with an underline and the paragraph text with no underlining, although the style appears to be formatted correctly.

My multilevel list style won't link Heading 6 to level 6.

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 10:39 AM PDT

I'm using a List style (Sections) to create a multilevel outline. I have six levels, and I'm linking each level to a Heading style (1 thru 6). However, when I attempt to link level 6 to Heading 6, it doesn't take. Heading 6 shows level 6. How do I get level 6 to display?

background lines appearing in document after saving file

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 11:48 AM PDT

When I type text in a new blank document, everything appears as normal.  After I save the file to my computer as a .docx or .doc file, lines appear in between paragraphs.  These lines are in between spaced paragraphs.  They look like grey lines on a legal pad paper.

 

When I print the document no lines show on the paper.  Is this typical for all documents in Word 2013, or is there a way to turn this feature off?

 

I am using MS Word 2013 in Windows 7.  I have all Microsoft Updates and Office Updates installed. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Normal blue hyperlinks print as magenta color

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 02:31 PM PDT

In Office 2010, hyperlinks appear in documents as the normal blue color and underline.  When printing the document the hyperlinks color is changed to a magenta (reddish-purple) while retaining the underline.  Is it my printer or the program?

 

 

Predefined margins

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I have different page sizes and orientation in a same document, with different margins for witch one. 
Is there a way to modify the predefined margins (Normal, Narrow, Moderate, etc) for future documents?
Is tedious change every time the margins by hand...
Thanks!
