Change save in location in Word 2007

Posted: 20 Jun 2013 01:12 AM PDT

I was wondering if it is possible to change the locations offered in the "Save In" sidebar, of the "Save As" textbox of Word 2007. I realise you can use the explorer type menu in the dropdown of the Address bar, but wish to actually change the options offered in the sidebar.

 

Thank you Pedro.

I deleted my original normal template. How do I restore it?

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 11:55 PM PDT

I was messing around  with my templates folder  long back and by mistake deleted my old/original word 2013 normal template. Now I want to restore my modified Normal template to my original one but I do not know what to do. I could find the original Word 2013 template so I do not know how to restore it. Could anyone please help me. Thanks a lot!

"Hidden" table wont delete

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 01:09 PM PDT

I have a large document that was originally created in word 2010, and having been editing it for some time in 2013.

I recently moved a table by selecting it, cutting and then pasting it in a new position, there are two tables below the original position of the table that was moved - thus there is now a paragraph of text followed by a table that used to have another table between.

However, in the space between the paragraph and remaining table, there is a paragraph break that will not delete, and there is no paragraph break symbol at the end of the text of the paragraph.
When I use the arrow keys to move the cursor of the end of the text, expecting it to go to the below paragraph break mark and then the remaining table it just disappears! If I keep moving it the ribbon bar and tab marks act as if the cursor was in a table before it eventually reappears at the stubborn paragraph mark...

i.e.

there is some paragraph text here. (<word acts as if there is a table here)
IP (<this wont delete)
*Remaining-table-here*

I have tried running the cursor into the "hidden" table and then selecting delete table from the table tools layout tab, but nothing happens.
I have tried running the cursor from one side of the hidden table to the other with the shift key pressed, to select the hidden table and so delete it but when I do this the select starts with the cursor - but then starts selecting halfway down the page below and moving back UP the page - even though I still have the right arrow key pressed down!!

How can I delete this paragraph mark and hidden table?!?

Editing SmartArt in an unprotected section of a protected document

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 12:33 PM PDT

End State:

In Word 2007 [edit:  I have confirmed this is also the case for Word 2010 and Word 2013], I am attempting to create a template for a form, for other users to fill out.  I would like users to be able to enter text into boxes in the form.  Elsewhere in the document, I would like users to edit a SmartArt organization chart.

 

Statement of Problem:

The document is partitioned into sections.  I have selectively protected the sections with the text-entry boxes, and left unprotected the sections where the SmartArt organization charts belong.  However, contrary to expectations and documentation, when the protection is enforced, the user cannot add SmartArt, or make certain modifications to existing SmartArt, in the allegedly-unprotected sections.

 

Specifically, the right-click menus on the organization chart are limited to Cut/Copy/Paste/Font.  The Add Shape option is greyed out.  The user can change the text written in existing boxes, but cannot delete existing or add additional boxes.  On the Ribbon, the SmartArt option is greyed out.

 

To Reproduce:

In Word 2007, create a document.  In the first line, type "Rich Text control box here:  ".  In the Developer tab, Controls group, select Rich Text.  Press the right arrow to move the selection off of the Rich Text control.  From the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group, Breaks dropdown, choose Section Breaks / Next Page.  From the Insert tab, Illustrations group, select SmartArt.  Choose Hierarchy / Organization Chart.

 

On the Developer tab, Protect group, select Protect Document / Restrict Formatting and Editing.  Check the box for "Allow only this type of editing in the document:".  Choose the option "Filling in forms" from the dropdown.  Click the hyperlink for "Select sections...".  Uncheck the box next to Section 2, leaving Section 1  checked, and click OK.  Press the button "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection"  Do not enter a password, and press OK.

 

Check that the user can enter information into the rich text control box (you should be able to), but are unable to edit the label next to the box (you should not be able to).  Now scroll down to the second page, and attempt to edit the SmartArt, or to add new SmartArt.  You will not be able to edit the SmartArt or insert new SmartArt, even though it is allegedly unprotected.  However, you will be able to add text to your heart's content in the unprotected section.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

cant save .DCOM files in word 2010. Save as box keeps re-appearing. Original .DCOM file was created in word 2007.

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:51 AM PDT

Original file works OK and saves OK in word 2007. But when opening in word 2010 I click on protected mode or order to use the macros and it says compatability mode in the top line. I then try to make changes in the document by typing something, and try to save it but comes up with the save as dialog box. And when I try to save the save as dialog box re-appears and this keeps happening even if I chnage the file name and location. This issue happens on any machine with word 2010.

Location of Styles for Word 2010

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:50 AM PDT

I am increasingly irritated by the fact that the Styles dropdown menu on my QAT, as well as the window that pops up when I press Ctrl+Alt+Shft+S, won't display the different options for styles. Now when I access the Home ribbon, I can see all the styles available there, and hovering over them, will make the selected text change to that particular style. But I'm used to using Styles from the QAT, and don't like the fact that I can't.

I'm wondering if I can move the location of teh Styles, so that Word will have to look elsewhere for them. I looked in the file locations, but didn't see anything for Styles.

Is there a way I can (a) move the styles to a different folder, and then (b) direct Word to look in that new location?

When printing a word document from one of our PC's text in the document will print but not attached images or pictures.

When printing a word document from one of our PC's text in the document will print but not attached images or pictures. e.g. using a word template, the text will print but not the contents of the letterhead inserted in the template header and footer. 

force content control update

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 03:44 PM PDT

Hello,

 

I found some VBA similar to the following to create a dependent control. I pick a name from a combo box and the appropriate signature block is displayed. It works fine but you need to exit the content control before the code executes. Is there another event or a trick so that I can pick the value from the combo box and see "live updates" without exiting the control?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mark

 

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal CC As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
 Dim oCC As ContentControl
 Dim oTmp As Template
 Select Case CC.Title
 Case "Pick"
 Set oCC = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("Picked").Item(1)
 Set oTmp = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
 oCC.LockContents = False
 Select Case CC.Range.Text
 Case "Bob"
 oTmp.BuildingBlockTypes(wdTypeCustom1).Categories("Demo").BuildingBlocks("BobSign").Insert oCC.Range
 Case "Steve"
 oTmp.BuildingBlockTypes(wdTypeCustom1).Categories("Demo").BuildingBlocks("SteveSign").Insert oCC.Range
  Case "Mary"
 oTmp.BuildingBlockTypes(wdTypeCustom1).Categories("Demo").BuildingBlocks("MarySign").Insert oCC.Range
 End Select
 oCC.LockContents = True
 End Select
 End Sub
