Microsoft Word - Numbers won't appear when typed

Microsoft Word - Numbers won't appear when typed

Numbers won't appear when typed

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 09:55 AM PDT

I'm using MS Word 2010.  When I type letters they show up just fine.  When I type numbers in the body of the work they do not appear.  The cursor does move (so the keyboard is functioning).  When I delete the invisible numbers and switch to a different "style" or type in BOLD font the numbers will appear.  Any ideas how to fix this?

How do I add an Underline with VBA code

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 07:41 AM PDT

I am lloking for some help in underlining some words in my header. The code below is waht I have so far except the underlining. The bolded and underlined words in my code need to be underlined with VBA. Any help would be great.

 

Sub AddHeadfoot()
    Dim oHF As HeaderFooter
    Dim oSection As Section
    For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
        For Each off In oSection.Headers
            off.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter
            off.Range.Text = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" + vbCrLf + "XXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXX"
            off.Range.Font.Size = 12
            off.Range.Font.Bold = wdToggle
        Next
        For Each off In oSection.Footers
            off.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = Word.WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphLeft
            off.Range.Text = "XXXXXXXXX  D12444-XXXXX" + vbTab + vbTab + "XX-XX-XX" + vbCrLf + vbTab + vbTab + "Page" + vbCrLf + vbTab + vbTab + "XXX X DATE X"
            off.Range.Font.Size = 10
            off.Range.Font.Bold = wdToggle
    Next
    Next
End Sub

i want to define auto-numbering in my CAPTIONS to use the number of the preceding heading style

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 07:13 AM PDT

i need to follow a strange numbering practice for some documents I'm working on. I'd like to be able to rely on auto-numbering, but haven't figured out how to do it for this req'mt. I have a numbered para document with figures. Instead of numbering the figures sequentially as the default Word "Caption" does (i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2, etc) the client wants the figs numbered according to the preceding para no. like this:

9.1 blah, blah, blah iaw w/ figure 9.1-1

==insert figure here==
Figure 9.1-1

9.2 blah, blah, blah

   9.2.1 blah, blah, blah iaw figure 9.2.1-1 and figure 9.2.1-2

       ==insert figure here==
Figure 9.2.1-1

==insert figure here==
Figure 9.2.1-2

Hopefully, you can see my problem. 9.x = Heading 2, 9.x.x = Heading 3. If it was just a matter of using figures at one heading I might use a Style Ref code and a "-[SEQ?]" but I'm not sure how to reset the SEQ code at the next use of the target Style Ref. However, since I have figures at Heading 2 and Heading 3, I don't think i can use the Style Ref anyway. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to get the client to use a more reasonable numbering system, but they insist on this with the result that figures and x-refs to figures are manually entered, then become out-of-sync on edits. Any ideas?

Customer Fill In Sections

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 04:20 AM PDT

I am creating a form for work and I want to be able to have the customer fill out the form on one of our Windows 8 tablets. I want to be able to have the form say "First Name" and then when the customer clicks it they can type in their name.

I know you can do this in adobe and create it as PDF, but I'd much rather have it in word.

 

The link below is an example of what I would like to be able to do.

What is this little arrow beside in the marge. It closes and expands part of the text. I would like to delete it and don´t know how.

Selecting all text in Edit Hyperlink box

Posted: 09 Jun 2013 11:31 AM PDT

I frequently want to rename a hyperlink using the Edit Hyperlink pop-up box in Word.  First step is to select the entire old name in the "Test to Display" box, but this is difficult since the margin for error in placing the cursor for either select all by back right arrow or for dragging across the existing text is VERY small and hard to find.  Is there a more robust, ie easier, way to select all the text in the Test to Display box so that I can do a type over and replace? 

office 2010 word copy problems

Posted: 08 Jun 2013 06:59 PM PDT

My windows 8 computer recently corrupts documents that I copy from the internet to a word 2010 document.  It worked ok at first, but now it copies the document over correctly, but when I scroll down, the pages separate, repeat lines, move over to the side, and generally are corrupted.  This happens with all documents, so is not just a problem with a specific site.

using shortcuts: ctrl + u/i/b

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 08:21 AM PDT

using shortcuts for bold, italic and underlining a word. 

right now when I press ctrl + u/i/b, it only highlights the corresponding button(s) on the toolbar in word. it does no longer actually make the word I have clicked on e.g. bold (with ctrl + b). I have to highlight the word first now. even though before  I could also just "click" on a word, without highlighting it and ctrl + u would underline the word, not only highlight the button.

thanks for any help!

Word 2010 - Template prompts ASK Field issues

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 07:36 AM PDT

Hi

I have created a Word 2010 Macro Enabled Template with "Ask Fields" and "Ref Fields" so the user is prompted to fill these in once the document is opened. In the template when you open it by right clicking and selecting "Open" the following macro runs:

Sub autoopen()

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

End Sub

I have built in some auto text capabilities to this template. However when I open a new document from the template by clicking and selecting "New" when you right click the template or by double clicking it the macro isn't transferred and doesn't run.

Is there a way to make the Update fields macro run when a new document is created from the template?

Many Thanks in advance

How to change maximum display names in a citation

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 03:36 AM PDT

Hi there,

I use the APA 6 style in Word 2013. I read that when you use 3,4 or 5 authors. The first time you citate it should show all the names, and in the citations following it should show only the first name followed by et al. But Word doesn't do that. It just shows them all, always. 

How do I change that? I read something that you can change some script somewhere? But I couldn't find out how to do that. 

Thanks
