I need to delete extra short line under endnotes in Word 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 03:01 PM PDT

There is a short horizontal line showing up (same length as the endnote separator) directly under the endnotes. I don't think it's a border but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

Word VBA: Finding/deleting the next text box

How is that done?

Linking Microsoft Word and Excel

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 02:03 PM PDT

Howdy. Well. I have no problem linking Excel Documents and Word Documents... But my overall goal is to create a template in excel and word that can be copied into other folders. So when it is copied, the link is not broken between the new copied files. Whenever I do this, it seems to break the link, and I don't want to fuss around with relinking both files.

 

Thank you for any help.

I don't want the "SitePoint" or "SkyDrive" options in my Share menu. Can I get rid of them?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 01:56 PM PDT

I e-mail documents frequently, and do not use SitePoint or SkyDrive. I will never ever ever use SitePoint or SkyDrive, and yet I'm forced to scroll around to skip them every time I try to "Share" a document. Is there any way I can remove these nags from the FIle/Share menu in MS Word 2011 for Mac? 

Word 2010 will not attach and send document through Outlook 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:37 PM PDT

I have Office Home and Business 2010.  I recently upgraded to a new computer and switched things over.  My old computer ran XP and now I have Windows 7.  I'm using POP accounts in Outlook.  I didn't have a problem writing a document in Word and then emailing it through Outlook as a PDF. I tried on Windows 7 and get an error message saying "this action is not supported while an older version of Outlook is running".   There are no older versions of Outlook on this computer.  The help simply stated "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure; operation not supported."  I'm at a loss.

Unexplained Autocorrect

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:27 PM PDT

In the last few days I have suddenly been plagued by my name appending at the end of words like "can't" "won't" and "isn't". So "won't" becomes "won'Monica".  The only new thing I have added to this machine was during a Webinar I used my own fat fingers as an example. I added 'Moncia' Replaced with 'Monica' to the AutoCorrect list. (Never had a problem using that on other PC's and there is a long story but I am working on a fresh install of Office 2010.)  I have since deleted that addition from AutoCorrect and checked through every potential example of said words in the autocorrect list to see if something weird got added in error. Nothing. I've been through my Auto Text - nothing even close in there. Checked the Macros list - nada; so I have deleted my Normal.dotm - still happens. What have I missed? Where could this be coming from? I feel like I've been pranked.

Word 2013: Don't want blank line every time I hit "Enter"

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:14 AM PDT

Just started using Word 2013.  By default, it adds a blank line every time I hit "Enter."

 

I don't want that.  When I hit "Enter" I want it to go to the next line, not two lines down.

 

How do I change the default?

SEQ Numbering- skip numbers/letters?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:12 AM PDT

I was wondering if there was a way to skip a specific number of letters in the SEQ field.

For example, in my document I have a set of four appendices ("Appendices B through E") that I want to keep together.

Is there a way I can type it into the field to skip three numbers without having to type \r "5" for "Appendix E"?


Thanks!

Outline numbering in Word 2003

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:08 AM PDT

I have a document (an RFP) that contains outlining. I've been able to create the first 9 levels (thanks to Shauna!!), but I have an additional level that I need. I created a new style based on numbering and that works, but now I don't get the automatic numbering for levels 1-9 after it. Any help would be appreciated! I'm running against a deadline.

 

Thanks!

Windows 8, Norton 360, Word 2007

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Hi There:

 

I'm not exactly sure of where the problem lies, but I'll lay it out for you as best I can.  I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 8, and did a clean install of the software licenses I had for my old (Windows 7) computer.  Among them is Microsoft Office 2007, and I also have Norton 360.  These programs worked fine on my old computer, but on this one, every time I open a file in Word I get the following error message:

There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.

If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note: This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is not compatible with the Microsoft Office system or needs to be updated.
 

The first place I went here, the Microsoft support forums, where I was directed to this site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329820/en-us

Following the instructions I opened Norton 360, went to Settings/Antivirus/Scans and Risks and discovered that the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan was on. I turned it off and clicked Apply, then Close. Re-opened Word, tried opening a file and received the same error message.  Went back into Norton 360, re-enabled the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan and tried that.  No difference.



Then I went to the Norton 360 support forums, where it was suggested I check a couple of things.  Windows 8 (not 8.1), 64-bit, 8 GB RAM all good. No problems with other Office Suite programs, just Word. Windows Update automatically updates MS Office files as well and Norton also auto-updates.


Last night I re-downloaded the MS Office install file and did a Repair install.  Shut down the computer, turned it on this morning and I still have the same problem.  I may have to completely uninstall Office, clean the registry, etc. and re-install Office but I'd rather not do that if there's a simpler solution.


Mike.


P.S.  Just to complicate things, my desktop computer is also running Windows 8, has the same Norton 360 license, the same Microsoft Word 2007 license, and if I open the same file(s) on my desktop I don't get an error.

Sharepoint Online Word Web App - No Printers...?

I open a document on my Sharepoint Online website.

There are no printers except the Print to PDF Option.

Why?

My Word 2013 autocorrect will not allow me to input any words beginning with a captial "i".

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 07:39 AM PDT

Many of my documents must be in all caps. For example it will not take "IM" into "I'M".  Autocorrect forces the initial "i" into lowercase.  And because all the text is in uppercase, any word beginning with an "i" cannot be autocorrected.  How do I fix this?  Thank you!

Vba message box doesn't appear for some users

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 05:55 AM PDT

I have a macro enabled template that does a number of things and ends in a Word mailmerge findrecord.  On most users, it runs just fine and the macro completes as expected.  On some users, the macro runs only to calling the mailmerge findrecord dialog box never that never appears.  All they get is an hourglass.

 

Any ideas as to why this would affect some but not all users?

Something went wrong while downloading your template

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 11:13 PM PDT

Hello,

 

Word, Excel and Powerpoint 2013 offer the new "Start Page" when launching the program. When clicking on a supplied template to open it, the process fails and gives the error message - "Something went wrong while downloading your template". We had the same issue with online templates in Office 2010. Has anyone had this same issue and is there a fix for it? We use Sophos Endpoint Security for anti-virus. Thanks.

Error on a Word 2007 document running macro on Word 2003

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 09:00 PM PDT

I am currently running Word 2003 on my computer at work.  I have a document which allows me generate a quotation of a machine for a customer.  I was given a template which includes a macro specific to this quotation template.  I'm having a few problems with it.

 

Few things you need to know first:

  1. The template I was given is a Word 2007 document, but I've manage to download a program which allows me to open them in Word 2003.
  2. Included with the template there are also additional documents which are the different types of machines or specifications that relate to whatever quotation is required.

The previous template was a Word 2003 document, so I had no problems running the macro, but the procedure was as follows:

 

  1. I opened up the template document, the contents was basically the beginnings of a quotation (it had a letterhead, address, cover letter, contents and various other items which were related to the quote.)
  2. I would run the macro and instantly a box would appear titled "Quotation Generator" (see Pic 1)
  3. From here I would click the drop down boxes to make selections (see Pic 2)
  4. I would then select "Create Quotation"
  5. Quotation would be generating prices, specifications and the particular machine I selected for quotation.

Now with new machines being introduced, the template has now be updated and now in Word 2007 format, including the numerous documents for each particular machine they now have.


So now when I follow the same procedures as before, it gives me an "Error 76 - Path not found".  


So when I run the macro, I get the Error 76 box and then the "Quotation Generator" box appears to allow me to make my selections.  Once I make my selections using the drop down boxes (see Pic 2) and I've selected "Create Quotation", I get another box saying the following:

 

Microsoft Visual Basic

 

Run-time error '5174':

 

This file could not be found.

Try one or more of the following:

*Check the spelling of the name of the document.

*Try a different file name.

(\UKRaptorSpec.docx)

 

[Continue]           [End]                      [Debug]                          [Help] 

 

 

The last part is the selections I have to choose from, its not allowing me to continuing, but asks me to either End, which takes me back to an incomplete quotation document, or Debug which takes me the Microsoft Visual Basics Screen and then to a QuoteDialogueBox (Code).


I want to know if there is any way to correct the macro so I won't get the errors.


I have all documents in Word 2003 format as well Word 2007 format which was originally given to me.  I've tried running the new template which is in Word 2003 format but still have the same error coming up.  And the same applies if I run the Word 2007 template, I get the same error.


I hope someone can help :)

How do I adjust SEQ fields for pictures in a table?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:55 PM PDT

Greetings, folks.

Here's what I've been trying to do: basically, I've been trying to align and caption some diagrams, in accordance to the first image below. I'm using a table to help with the alignment: 


What usually happens, however, is THIS:


Adjusting the SEQ fields with the "\r" and "\c" switches does not quite work effectively; even though I can barely manage to make something similar to the first image, all it takes is a single new image caption to reproduce the same results shown in the above picture. The picture below shows the field codes as they currently stand, no modifications made:


Does anyone have any ideas about how to remedy this? Or do captions in tables usually flow from rows first, columns second?

This has been troubling me for quite a while. Therefore, any help you guys have would be deeply appreciated.

A side note: the table above was made with a 4-cell, 2X2 table, with the second column merged. If that's got something to do with caption flow / SEQ field flow, that might be a clue, I guess.

How to format page numbers in Word 2013?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:15 PM PDT

Greetings!

 

I have some edits that I have to complete for my Graduate school in order to complete my dissertation and graduate.  

 

The Graduate school wants the bottom of the page numbers to be exactly 1" from the bottom of the page.  Is there a way to set the defaults for Word 2013 to do this?  Also, I need to avoid orphans and widows.  I recently changed to 2013 from 2003, so this setting may have changed...

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Why print size is reduced automatically in words 2010?

Style Heading 4 in paragraph missing in Navigation Pane, Word 2013

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 04:52 PM PDT

In Word 2013, I changed text to heading 4 style at the beginning of paragraphs and it didn't appear in navigation, except for one phrase with no normal text after the heading text.

I have a long document (200+ pages) with Style Headings 1-3 for organization. I was manually adding a 4th heading at the beginning of some paragraphs and decided to switch to using Style, so they would appear in the Table of Contents (via Word Reference menu) later. I edited all those to Style Heading 4, and all but one were not added to the Navigation Pane. The one that was added had no paragraph (Style Normal) text after the Heading 4 text, while all the others did. I want all of the Style Heading 4 headings to appear in the Navigation Pane, and later in the Table of Contents when I add it. It appears that only paragraphs with Style Heading will add to the Navigation Pane, not text that is assigned to Style Heading in a Style Normal paragraph (even though the formatting changes to the set style).

To resolve this problem, I tried:
- Closing out of all Word documents and re-opening the file.
- Copying a segment of text and pasting it into a new Word file. This did not fix the problem, though all the other heading styles copied correctly.
- Checking the Styles Pane for incorrect data. There were no differences between the heading that appeared in the Navigation Panes and those that didn't.
- Adding a paragraph space between the Heading 4 text and the Normal text. This did not add it to the Navigation Pane. I use Word with "Show Formatting" enabled, so I noticed the paragraph marker was still black after the Heading 4 text. I selected the line and changed the whole thing to Heading 4, the paragraph marker turned blue, and the Heading 4 text appeared in the Navigation Pane. Then I tried deleting the space to get my paragraph back where I want it, and it changed the whole paragraph from Normal to Heading 4. It then locked, and wouldn't let me change the paragraph back to normal. I had to undo to get it back to the Styles I want, removing it from the Navigation Pane.

Below is a simplified Style text layout. Heading 4a doesn't show in the Navigation Pane, but Heading 4b does. All the other Style Heading text appears in the Navigation Pane, and doesn't have additional styles in the paragraph, like Heading 4a does.

X. Heading 1
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

A. Heading 2
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

1. Heading 3
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

a. Heading 4a. normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal
b. Heading 4b.
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

Is this a bug? If yes, is there a workaround that will let me keep normal paragraphs with headings that show in the navigation pane? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

How can I paste text without the formatting with a hotkey?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:24 PM PDT

Hello!

Is there a way to insert copied text without the formatting into a Word document?

Usually, I use the option STRG+V and then I format it, but my question is if there is a faster way? I know that there is this option "insert as plane text", but is there a hotkey available?

I do not want to create a macro, I just want to know how to work faster. :)

Thanks!
