Word 2010 shows Style+modified font in the paragraph style dropdown. Why?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 02:24 PM PDT

Word 2010 - I have many custom paragraph styles.  When I italicize a few words in a paragraph of a particular style, for example Checklist, Word shows Checklist+Italic in the Style dropdown I have in the Quick Access Toolbar, but only in some documents, not in most.  How do I get Word to display only the paragraph style in the paragraph sytle dropdown?

Is there any way to find out whether contents of word document have been copied and pasted(CTR+ C and CTRL+V) from other sources like websites or PDF documents.

I am preparing a word document. I need to know whether anyone can find out whether contents were copied and pasted from other sources.

Appreciate your support

Readability Scores and Blocking Text

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Is there any way to block text against being included in the readability scores? I often have documents with complex legal text or other text that can shoot the scores through the roof when all I really want a score on is text I write or create within a document.

Can you turn off the subtopic indicator (hashed underlining) in Outline mode?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 04:20 AM PDT

In Word's outlining mode there is a subtopic indicator displayed for any particular level if that level is collapsed and if the level has a sub-level.

The subtopic indicator consists in a hashed underlining of the heading level you are looking at.

Is there any way to turn this off?

Word 2007 "line spacing" changes the space above the line, need to change it below the line; how?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 01:42 AM PDT

Working on a legal doc, need to ajust the spacing to match up with the line numbers. If the adjustment is at the top, cannot match the first number.

Office 365 and Word

editing two parts of same doc, on same window, vertically

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 12:20 AM PDT

I'm interested in editing two far-apart pages on the same, quiet long, document. 
splitting the doc horizontally is fairly easy, but can it be done vertically? (with a wide screen, it's more convenient viewing the two pages on two columns, reather then two rows).

I don't want to use the Print Layout, and I don't want two different windows and then viewing the two pages side by side (because I'm using a second, different document that I switch to and from frequently).

this illustration shows what I need.

Thanks for the help!

Creating legacy text box fields with calculations can yield incorrect results

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 07:07 PM PDT

Hi all,

I have a strange result when using legacy text boxes in Word 2013.

Imagine you have a table with a few rows. Each row has columns for legacy text box fields to enter a quantity and an amount. Another column contains a legacy text box field that calculates the row total by multiplying quantity * unit price. (On all fields, Calculate on exit is checked.)

Then, in the last row of the table, there is a total row.

And here is where the strange result occurs. If you define the formula on the total row as =TotalA+TotalB+TotalC or =SUM(TotalA, TotalB, TotalC), the result is exactly double what it should be (i.e. when it should be 10, it actually shows 20). However, when using =SUM(ABOVE) the result is correct.

It's not always feasible to use SUM(ABOVE) (depending on the form's design), so it's only a mediocre workaround.

Is this a bug in the product? Is there another reason the result is double?

Thanks for any ideas,

SA.

Heading 4 hidden until used - how can I use it if hidden?

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 03:59 PM PDT

I'm reworking table of contents in test procedures my department is writing to show another level of information in the TOC.  I recreated the table of contents to display Heading 4 styles.  Heading 4 is in my style list, but style manager shows it as "hidden until used".  Since it's hidden, I can't use it.  Catch-22!

Insert PDF multi-page document into Word

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 12:35 PM PDT

Is it possible to easily insert a multi-page PDF document into a Word 2010 document?  From my understanding, when you insert the object, it only shows/inserts the first page.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 11:52 AM PDT

My installation of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar).  Perhaps this can be best explained by three screenprints that I have posted to my home Comcast account, as in the three links below:

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013excel32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013word32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013ppt32color9.png

 

For the above three screenprints, I added a purple arrow, using MS Paint, to draw attention to the problem (see the top left of these three screenprints, where the QAT is all that is shown of the open program).

 

Following is some more information about this problem:

 

[1]  I am running Windows 7.

 

[2]  I have a Levono ThinkPad R61 laptop, which is locked into a Levono docking station, which in turn allows this laptop to provide dual monitor support.  I have two 19-inch monitors hooked to the docking station: A Samsung SyncMaster 920BM and a CTL 191LX.  The problem, when it occurs, happens on my left monitor (thus my screen-prints in the above 3 links show only my left monitor).

 

[3]  I have found a work-around to the problem: change my color settings from "True Color (32 bit)" to "High Color (16 bit).  I am actually OK with that work-around, since my loss of various graphics and Windows 7 features, due to being at 16 bit color is a minor inconvenience to me.  If I need to use "True Color (32) bit" in Windows 7, my home computer works perfectly for that.  However, a fix to the problem would be nice to have, since having the 32-bit "cool looking" enabled Windows 7 at my work, on my laptop, would be nice to have (but I could do without it and just use the less-cool 16-bit Windows 7 at work). 

 

[4]  As far as I know, my laptop does NOT have a video card in it.

 

[5]  My laptop had a dual core processor running at 2.00 GHz.  My laptop has 2GB of RAM.  My laptop has a 75 GB hard-drive that is about 75% full.

 

[6]  When my laptop is running in 32-bit color, the problem can be replicated as follows:

 

[6.1] Open Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2013 to a new blank document.  As I recall, the problem does not happen for MS Access.

 

[6.2] Maximize that document on my left monitor.

 

[6.3] Minimize the document.

 

[6.4]  On the taskbar, click on Word, Excel or PowerPoint, and the problem (ONLY the QAT showing) sometimes occurs (about 50% of the time), as in the three links above.

 

[7] My laptop has been recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and it runs pretty fast, and perfectly, except for the problem mentioned by the three links above.

 

[8]  Most of the settings for Windows 7 and Office 2013 are at their defaults - and for the few settings that I changed in Windows 7 and Office 2013, my changes were made AFTER I noticed the problem.  As I recall, the problem started happening immediately after I upgraded to Windows 7 (I had XP before), and put Office 2013 on it.

 

Note: I chose "Word" for the topic area of my post, since I use Word most often, as compared to Excel and PowerPoint.

 

ADDED TO MY ORIGNIAL POST:

 

I undocked my laptop from the docking station, and the problem still DOES happen, when in 32-bit colors.

Can proportional spacing be changed to fixed spacing?

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 08:34 PM PDT

I am trying to reproduce a type written genealogy book from 1931. It was hand typed. I am trying to create as close of a facsimile as possible. The original, of course,  was done on an old fashioned typewriter. Is there a way to remove the proportional spacing and create the fixed spacing of an old typewriter? I want to get as close to the look and feel of the original as possible.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Email attachment will not open in Word

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 11:44 AM PDT

I use Incredimail as my email provider.  Works very well except when I recieve an email with an attachment that is a Word document.  When I try to open it, I get an error message that tells me that Word has to be repaired before I can open the file.  If I save the file it can then be opened.  What a pain.
