MS Word documents' "Total editing time" tag is hidden in file details

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 09:52 AM PDT

Windows suddenly stopped showing "Total editing time" of Microsoft Word documents. There's nothing wrong with Word; It's still counting the time and the Total editing time can be accessed from: Office Button -> Prepare -> Properties -> Advanced Properties -> Statistics tab -> Total editing time
But when I right-click the *.docx file and click Properties, in the Details tab, the Total editing time is blank.

How do I insert a watermark on one page of a two page document?  I can not get it to do just the one page that it is needed on. 

MS Word Contract to List

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 07:23 AM PDT

I have a major contract for our company that is in MS Word.  I need to convert this contract unto a checklist to make sure that every sentence within the contract has been evaluated and signed-off.  At present, I am left justifying every sentence and hitting return at the end of each sentence to convert paragraphs into a list of sentences.  Is there a way to automatically have the software do the same thing (return at the end of each sentence) versus my doing this manually?

Can't open Word File because of end tag/start tag mismatch error...need help!

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 03:30 AM PDT

I get the following message when i try to open a word document that i desperately need

  The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag

Location: Part: word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 10275


I have no idea how to fix this and I have already tried using the microsoft Fix It tool. That did not help at all.  I have tried to do some XML coding myself but that didn't work either, probably because I don't really know what I am doing. I would really appreciate some help on this matter as I need the document for my exams.

Thanks. 

beginning of automatically syllable-didived word with protected hyphen at the end gets lost when printing or creating xps-file (not on the screen)

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 02:03 AM PDT

Hello,

my Problem: text resp. beginning of a word within som paragraphs is lost by word at the beginning of a line (after automatical linebreaks).

This happens not on the screen, only when printing (or creating an xps-file).

It happens only in a handful of words, maybe in 4 out of 500 paragraphs with the same style sheet format.

It has something to do with automatic syllable division and protected hyphens.

f.e. there is the word "documents-" (protected hyphen at the end). Mostly the printed mistakes happens, when such a word is automaitcally divided at the end of a line, so that at the screen it looks like this (correct):



but when i print the document (or create an xps-file), the first part  of the word ("docu") just gets lost, so that (incorrect):


 
It does not help to exklude the problematic words from spell checking. Also the changing style sheets is no solution.



What helps, is deactivating "automatic syllable division" for such singular paragraphs, then the version printed and one on the screen are identical, but this is always post hoc (after printing) and then you are never sure if you caught all of those mistakes.

Hoping for Help, Holger.


Can I get MS Word by itself for windows 8?

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 01:04 AM PDT

Hi, I newly acquired a laptop with a Windows 8 operating system.  I need a decent word processing program for two of my jobs, but can't afford to pay the yearly rate of $100 for the MS Office package.  All I really need is Word.  Is there anywhere I can purchase just word for Windows 8 or if I buy an older version of Word (like the 2011 edition) will it work on my operating system?

Thanks

Word 2010 Shows Password Protected File Content in the Preview Pane--Compatability Mode

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 11:01 PM PDT

I can't find that anyone is having this issue.   I have a document that I use on an older computer with Word 2001 (I think) which is password protected because of the content.  But when I am in the Folder in Dropbox that it contains the Preview Pain SHOWS ME THE CONTENT of the password protected file.  How does this happen?  I've looked in document properties and the Protect options in Save As, and cannot figure out how that folder is displaying content of a password protected file.  Not okay that as I scroll through, this content can be seen by anyone over my shoulder or someone who may grab my computer in an unfortunate incident...

Any suggestions?

Microsoft Office 365 has errors that need to be fixed

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 05:42 PM PDT

I have Microsoft Office 365 and every time I try to open and use Word, it tells me that there has been an error that must be repaired immediately. So I have clicked repair now, and it says, "repairing, this should only take a few minutes,' but that screen has been up literally for days. I am not able to use word because of this.

word not saving file open through outlook

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 05:30 PM PDT

So I receive an email from a colleague on Outlook Web Access (Connected to Microsoft Exchange), which has a Word document attached to it. I click on the document to open it, edit it and click save, and close it. All looks good. Only, afterwards the document is nowhere to be found. Not in my documents, not in my downloads, nowhere! I run a search, no sign of it! Is this a bug, have I lost my work? Any idea where it might have gone?

Thanks,

Pedro

WORDS UNDERLINED WITH PURPLE DOTS

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 05:27 PM PDT

 

 

THERE ARE PURPLE DOTS THAT UNDERLINE SOME OF THE WORDS.

I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THEM, THEY DO NOT PRINT.

WHAT DO THEY MEAN, HOW DO YOU TURN THEM OFF.

SOMETIME I USE WORD SCREEN PRINTS LIKE I HAVE ATTACHED FOR PROJECTS. 

commonly confused words

Posted: 26 Jul 2013 05:23 PM PDT

In my reports I frequently use the word "hole" a lot but word encourages me to use"whole" which I do not want to do. I have tried to add "hole" to the exclude dictionary of EN0409 but it does not stop the suggestion.

Perhaps I should edit the file of commonly confused words but I dont know where it is or what to do if I did find it.

 

Any ideas ?
