infomap 2010

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 01:06 PM PDT

I know there is InfoMap for Office 2003 and Office 2007.

 

Is InfoMap available in Office 2010 or is it called something else? How do I download it or install it?

 

Thank you,

How can I get a floating grid in a drawing canvas in Word 2013?

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 12:44 PM PDT

I have run across a very frustrating problem in the drawing canvas & grid in Word. I first noticed the bug in Word 2010. I was unable to find a workaround, so I continued using Word 2007, which does not have the problem. With the release of Word 2013, I was hoping that the problem would get fixed. But it has not.

The problem is cumbersome to describe in words alone. Attached is a sequence of six screenshots that should explain the problem to anyone who is interested.

A form with editing restricted will not let me select sections of the entered text

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 12:26 PM PDT

Hi

We have a form that we enforce protection on and distribute for use. The users fill out the form and send it back to us, but sometimes the information they have filled out requires editing on our part. Unfortunately, when I try to highlight (select) text within a rich text or plain text content control box, either everything before the point where I click is highlighted or everything after. I can't select a few words in the middle. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there anything I can do to fix it without stopping the protection?

How can a word document be made to open showing the navigation pane for different users opening it from a Sharepoint site?

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 12:07 PM PDT

We created a Word document that has the topics and subjects done in heading one and heading two so that when the navigation pane is open, users can jump directly to the topic or question. Is there a way to make this document open and display the navigation pane by default for many different users despite how their Word opens?

When opening a new Word 2010 document the customized bullets & numbers disappear or change on the stylesheet. Does anybody know why?

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 11:59 AM PDT

When I opened a blank Word document it opened with the default quick styles showing. I change it to a newly created style sheet and the customized bullet points and the numbering disappear from the template.  Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 were all customized as well, but are fine. Does anybody know what happened or why it's happening?



Thank you,
Dave

How do I setup word document for note taking

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 10:13 AM PDT

Hello-I have a meeting with a group of people to review a 90 page document.    How can I setup this document to print with a handout area.  I know that, that feature is availabe in Powerpoint.   I tried copying the doc in powerpoint and it only takes the first paragraph.  Please advise.

 

I'm using Word 2007.

hyperlink does not work

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 09:46 AM PDT

When a student enrolls in one of our courses, we send them a Confirmation Letter.docx.  One of the important bits of information in that letter is how to make hotel reservations.  We were given a URL by the hotel (pasted below with corporate code removed).  This works fine from our website but when the hyperlink is clicked in the Word document, you end up at a search-for-a-hotel page with the error: "Sorry but we are unable to locate your selected hotel."

This sort of defeats the purpose of putting the hyperlink into the confirmation letter.  I'm assuming that the dynamic content is what is breaking this.  Is there any way to make it work?

THANKS!

Dragon 12 Premium and WORD 2013

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 09:37 AM PDT

Question re: Mail Merge data source entry

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 09:19 AM PDT

In the older version of word, when I opened up a mail merge template, there was a box, of sorts, that allowed me to enter in my data for each field in the mail merge template and when I was complete, I hit "merge" and it would populate my data into each of the data source fields located in my template.  In the new word (Word 2010), I am unable to locate said box.  Is there any way to populate my data all at once or do I have to F11 my way through my entire document to fill in my data?

 

Thank you!

I want Latin proofing tools for Windows 8

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 08:35 AM PDT

One would think it would be available due to the large number of Catholic Latin Vulgate readers.  Say if they wanted to use Word to write and edit their papers.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like you can't even buy a separate program to proof you type in Latin either.  I have not found any that states they are compatible for Window 8 (I use office365).  Not paying $675us in hoe that I can get it to work properly.  Would rather pay $20 to Microsoft for the compatibility in office. 

Send macros from word 2013 to word 2010

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 08:30 AM PDT

I created a few macros in word 2013. I tried emailing a word doc containing the macros to a co-worker who is on word 10. The macros didn't go thru. I then put the doc in a common drive we share but the macros didn't appear.

Is there a way to send macros from word 2013 to word 2010.

Thanks

Should I use Word or not?

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 08:19 AM PDT

A colleague has created a Word document that logs problems in equipment. They use a table as a template, which is copied/pasted into the document and completed, using standard headings (date reported, nature of issue etc). These problems are grouped under headings such as Widgets, Gadgets etc. There could be any number of these problems logged in a given period. Word has been used for its formatting capabilities - TOCs, cover sheets, styles and so on.

 

I've been asked if it's possible to take pieces of this information from these individual issues and summarise them, grouped by heading, at the beginnning of the document - almost as a "dashboard" for quick reference.

 

Is Word the best app for this, or should I be looking at Excel? We cannot use Access for business reasons...

 

Any advice gratefully accepted,

Amanda

Word 2013 Save-As Predictive Filenaming??

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 08:11 AM PDT

One of my users discovered that when doing a save-as in Word 2013 and if you have a #XX at the end of the original filename (i.e. "filename #10.docx"), Word will remove the #XX in the Save-As dialog box.  It is almost as if Word is predicting that you will be changing the #XX to something new and removes it.  Is this normal for Word 2013, as I have never seen Word do this before?  If so, is there any way to control it?

 

Thanks,

Toggle field - Links work but wrong page listed

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 08:11 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I have a large word document (using 2010) of around 180 pages. I have always used toggle fields on my table of contents with no issue, but now I have a problem.....

 

All the headings appear in the table of contents with a page number, all the links in the table of contents work & go to the correct section, BUT for some reason the page number in the list of contents has no relation to the actual page within the document (e.g. contents has section 7.4 page 88, but the real page of 7.4 is page 160!).

 

When I right click on the content & update I get no error messages. HELP!

 

Regards

"data tab in word 2007"

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 07:54 AM PDT

I'm taking a course in MSOffice that uses 2010. I am using 2007, and so far have been able to "translate" the course adequately, except for one thing. There are instructions for using a data tab in Word, but there is no data tab available that I can see. How do I make that function available?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Automatically adding commas between populated fields in a mail merge

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 03:48 AM PDT

I work for a University and I am creating a mail merge label template for event attendees. Some of our attendees will be students or Alumni of the University, some will not.

 

The database that I am pulling attendee data from has the following fields: First Name - Last Name - Year - Subject. This data will be laid out on each badge in the following format

 

FirstName LastName

Year, Subject

 

Or

 

Will Watt

2006, Media Studies

 

For guests who did not attend the University (parents, professors, staff etc.), the year and subject fields on the data source are blank. I have created a rule which automatically adds a filler text on the second line.

 

For people who DO have the year and subject populated, I want to add an automatic comma between the year and the subject. Is there a way to do this?

 

start multi-level numbering from different point in word 2010

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 03:45 AM PDT

Apologies if this has been covered but I cannot find a comment. I have set up headings using styles. I want the multi-level numbering to start from a later point in the document. I cannot find a "start from" option. I do not want the earlier part of the document numbered and I need to retain section headings all in the same style, so changing a level isn't an option. Can anyone help?

Table of Contents

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 02:03 AM PDT

I have 3 chapters in a book. Each chapter starts with a title based on the style: Heading 1.

Each chapter also has a copy of a TOC (based on Heading 1) under the chapter heading. 

Is it possible to change the style of an individual TOC reference that relates to the chapter it is in?

Limitations - I can't change the heading style to another level. I need to retain formatting on updates.

Example:

good (chapter 1 heading)

TOC
good
bad
sad

bad (chapter 2 heading)

TOC
good
bad
sad

sad (chapter 3 heading)

TOC
good
bad
sad

Mail Merge Data Source Problem

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 11:55 PM PDT

Hi Guys,

 

I'm running a mail merge for a bunch of clients.

 

The amount of client reference numbers for each client varies from one to four.

 

My data source has been thoroughly cleaned and I used text to columns to seperate each client's different reference numbers.

 

The merge runs perfectly until letter/document number 47, when it returns a value of "0" for the first of the client reference numbers. All other data is "pulled in" as it should. When I go back to step 3 to Edit Recipients, the data source shows that indeed the value for the first client reference for letter/document/client number 47 is "0".

 

But when I view the data source file in Excel, the correct client reference numbers are displayed.

 

The errors are displayed when I preview the merge and when I complete the merge.

 

Any thoughts?

Word 2007 keeps changing formatting on its own

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 08:03 PM PDT

Does anyone know why word 2007 would suddenly un-indent paragraphs that were indented, then re-indented, then re-indented after f'ing Word kept un-indenting them. Also, when I try to bold one word, the command makes the entire 300 page document bold. 

When creating a template with fill-in fields, how can I insert an answer to a prompted question in different places of the document?

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 07:15 PM PDT

I am creating a template which requires the user to answer a number of questions that are then inserted into the document.

I have used fill-in fields to prompt the user to answer the required questions.

Some of the answers are the same in different parts of the document.  How can I make it so the fields for those answers only require the question to be asked once - rather than repeating the question for each answer?

I am using Outlook 2010.

Many thanks!

Word 7 changed my font but the drop down menu still says that it's the font I originally selected.

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 02:35 PM PDT

I just sent a ridiculous amount of time formatting a document in word 7. It was perfect and now, all of a sudden, it has changed only the numbers in my doc to some strange font that looks like a 1980's throwback large pixel font. I don't know what it is or why it did it. The numbers are just the year on the title of the document at the top of each page not a number list. The font I want it to be is Gotham Book. When I highlight the offending font in the doc and check it under the drop down menu it tells me it's still Gotham Book. Ugh. I've tried a few things that others have suggested such as going into "changing Styles" or "Word Options". These have not worked! Help me, please!! What do I do?!?
