Microsoft Word - Word 2010 - Figure and Table Captions w_Chapter Number are Wrong

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 - Figure and Table Captions w_Chapter Number are Wrong

Word 2010 - Figure and Table Captions w_Chapter Number are Wrong

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 03:18 PM PDT

We do a considerable number of engineering documents with heading levels often going down 4 to 5 levels.  In Word 2003, when inserting Figure and Table Captions, I selected Numbering.... include chapter number.  From then on, everything advanced and numbered correctly as I proceeded thru the document.... and regardless of what level the caption was inserted into... then comes 2010

 

My headings are

 

1.0

  Table 1.0-1

1.1

  Table 1.1-1

  Table 1.1-2

1.1.1

  Table 1.1.1-1

1.2

  Table 1.2-1

  Table 1.2-2

1.2.1

  Tab;e 1/2.1-1

1.2.2 etc

 

Question?  for this type of level numbering, do you have to reset the heading level for each of the headings?  Example:  section 1.0 (which I cannot get to show the "0" for the life of me) set heading to (1).... for section 1.1, set heading to (2)... for section 1.1.1, set heading to (3) etc.?  Don't remember having to do this in 2003 for the program to recognize what heading level the caption was being inserted into.  Is there a setting or problem with my headings that this is NOT numbering correctly?  While playing with a document to post this question, I set 1.0 (heading 1) and when I set 1.1 (to heading 2), my previous 1.0 changed to heading 2.

 

Also - why won't the caption number (i.e., 1.1-1, 1.1-2, 1.1-3) restart at -1 within a section?  As I add captions, the SEQ field numbers change as I change the heading reference in subsequent captions.

 

I checked by opening a 'new blank document' to see what the default heading style was referenced and in the first instance, if referred to heading 2.

 

Why is ithis happening?  Please shed some light on what I may be doing wrong.

Cannot open any application in Home and Student 2010 edition

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 01:54 PM PDT

When I tried to open Word or Excel today in my Home and Student 2010 edition of Office I am asked for an activation code.  I installed this software a year ago (8/4/2012) and it has been working fine. All of my old files are still on my computer  but I cant open them or create a new one.  I haven't made any recent changes to my computer.  Of course, I cannot find the original software box or disc. The activation code is not listed on my Microsoft account probably because I created the account long after I installed the software.  I bought the software originally at Best Buy.  So what happened and how do I fix it?

Problem print envelope, word 2007

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I use word 2007 on an hp printer.  Now using new computer with windows 8.  Now unable to print address on envelope correctly.   It appears horizontally centered.  But vertically, it appears near top of envelope.  Efforts to change have not worked.  

Envelopes Question

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 11:42 AM PDT

I cannot print an address on a business envelope.

The envelope will fit into my printer paper area only vertically. 

The large envelope is too wide to fit into the printer horizontally, but the orientation

of the printing is wrong.  How do I change this orientation?

How to get word 2010 to stick with Adobe Reader 10 for opening PDF files

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 11:26 AM PDT

When saving a word document as a .PDF file, I have the setting set to open the document after saving

 

I get an error message from Word saying;

 

"Could not open file. No program is associated with this file type"

 

How do you associate adobe to open this file type with in the Word program?

 

Outside of Word, my default program to open .PDF files is Adobe Reader 10

Creating columns later in a document that apply only to that point forward

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 10:00 AM PDT

I am using Word 2010.  When I wish to create two columns later in the text of a document, Word applies the columns to the entire document.  When I used Word 2000, one also had the oppoortunity to select where the columns were to start (e.g., this point forward, etc.).  In 2010, the Columns tab under Page Layout automatically applies the structure to the entire document.

 

I am sure that this is an easy "fix!"

Return Address on #10 Envelopes is not Correctly Placed and Cannot be Adjusted Using Word 2010

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 09:56 AM PDT

When printing #10 envelopes the return address prints about 1 and 7/16 inches from the left edge of the envelope.  It previously would start printing about 1/2 inch from the left edge which is where it should be.  When I try to adjust the placement of the return address using the options selection the return address is moved to the left but cut off at 1 and 7/16 inches.  I appears that Word will not allow printing closer to the left edge.  Previously selecting #10 envelopes would start the return address 1/2 inch from the left edge of the envelope.  I have not changed printers. 

 

Any solutions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

forwarding word document by email

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 09:10 AM PDT

I don't think that there is a fix for my issue but you never know!

When I'm looking at a Word document I often want to forward it on to a colleague. In 2003 I would click on "forward as an attachment" and up would pop Outlook with the cursor in the "To:" box and I would then type in the email address and hit the tab key to get to the body of the email if i needed to add a message.

With Office 365 I've worked out how to "forward as an attachment" but the cursor doesn't default to the logical (to me at least) "To:" box but instead jumps to the body of the email and I have to click back into that box.

A minor irritation but it's very frustrating that a simple process has been made more complicated.

Hyperlinks menu option is greyed out and I can't edit links...but it worked yesterday morning........

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 07:29 AM PDT

I am using Word Web App in Chrome. I am very impressed so far, but I did notice that the Links button under the Insert menu was greyed out and I was unable to insert a link. All of a sudden, yesterday morning it was working (both the button and right click) and I was very excited. But then yesterday afternoon when I went to show someone, it was no longer working (either the button or right click) and is still not working now. I have tested accessing the file via Safari on a Mac and no luck there either. This is driving me crazy, please I need help.

[EDIT] I have done some more testing. And if I create a file from scratch, I get all the expected options. So what possible properties could be set up on this one file that does allow me to edit or insert hyperlinks? Does it matter that the file is shared and has track changes on? (Which it did before yesterday morning......)

Windows XP, Windows 7, and Word 2003 dysfunctionality

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 07:13 AM PDT

I'll be moving from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows 7 Professional in a matter of days. As a consequence I will have to switch to new Microsoft Word programs because my two current Word programs, 97 and 2000, are incompatible with Windows 7, even (I hear) in XP Mode. My current plan is to install Word 2003 and one of the newer Word "ribbon" programs and seeing which of these work best relative to my various word processing habits and needs.

In anticipation of the switch, and having a copy of Word 2003, I installed the program on my XP system to familiarize myself with it. All that did was remind me of why I had refused, years ago, to move beyond Word 2000. Already I've found two glitches, which I'll mention momentarily, after explaining the nature of my concern.

What I hope is that these and perhaps other glitches are XP-related and that they will disappear once I migrate to Windows 7. But that's just a theory since the glitches are not reported as best I can tell, let alone traced to XP.  The reason for my hope is that a friend who uses Word 2003 on Vista does not experience them. I would like to bolster the hope and thus ease my migration concerns, and so I would appreciate any guidance the community can offer.

Here are the two glitches:

First, when I left-click on an empty space within a document in an attempt to activate the blinking cursor, the program does not produce the cursor but instead selects the line of text nearest to the click point. If I use the up and down manual cursor keys, the selection function grabs a line above or below the initial line, as the case may be. In order to restore the blinking cursor I have to click within a line of text or click the right arrow on my keyboard. This problem has nothing to do with the EXT function indicated on the status bar, which is the diagnosis I've seen in forum discussions. That function can be turned on and off in my program, and the problem exists even when EXT is off. I have also conformed my selection options (under Tools > Options > Edit) to those of my friend and got no relief on that basis. In particular, this is not a "smart select" problem. 

Second, I am unable to remove hyperlinks globally using my longstanding method, namely, selecting all the text and then pressing Control-Shift + F9. When I do this, the hyperlinks remain in the document. The procedure is so straightforward, and so basic to any and all Word programs, that it needs no further explanation.

Of course there is a third possibility: that my installation introduced problems for some other reason, e.g. that I replaced Word 2000. This itself was odd since when I installed 2003 I asked that it NOT replace 2000, and yet it did so. (I recall this insistence on the program's part years ago, which is why I never kept it on my PC.)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mail Merge/Tent Cards

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 06:10 AM PDT

I am creating tent cards for my next course with a list of 50 names and don't want to do each one individually.

So, I've created mail merges on my tent card.... (top and bottom with company logo in the center, mirrored) however, when I fold the card, the participant side sees his name in the correct direction however, the side facing me is obviously upside down. 

Can I fix this?  Is there an easier way to do the mail merge on tent cards?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to lock the size of a shape in Word 2010?

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 05:17 AM PDT

I have created a form that allows the user to move circles to the number rating they want to give.  I have been able to lock the aspect ratio so the shape always stays a circle, but users are still able to inadvertently change the size of the shape when attempting to move it.  Any suggestions?

detect unacceptable characters for filename input

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 05:04 AM PDT

I have the following macros in my document.

In addition I would like to pop up a warning when a character is input to this field which is not acceptable for FILENAME like @/\etc.

For Each oCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
    If oCC.Title = "Filename" Then
        If oCC.ShowingPlaceholderText = True Then
            MsgBox "ðà ìøùåí ùí"
            oCC.Range.Select
        Else
            With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
                .Name = oCC.Range.Text
                .Show
            End With
        End If
    Exit For
    End If
Next oCC
End Sub

Sub FileSave()

Overtype not working in one doc.

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 03:28 AM PDT

A colleague of mine has one Word 2003 document in which he was using overtype mode, but even while he was working in the document overtype became disabled, and now we can't enable it again! It's still working fine in other documents of the same nature, but even in Options under Tools the option to tick or untick overtype mode is completely greyed-out, when that document is open. Is there a way to see how this could have happened and how we could fix it? Thank you very much.

macro replace wildcards for multiple rows in word 2010

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 03:17 AM PDT

I want to make a search/replace macro in word which is on 2 or 3 rows, like this

"art. 2  2  pct. 22 din"

and convert it to this

"art. 2<sup>2</sup>  pct. 22 din"

instead of art. i can have other words too like lit., pct., alin. and the numbers are always different

i tried to use the next wildcard replace but it doesn't work:

search: "(art. )([0-9]{1;})(^13)([0-9]{1;})(^13)"  replace: "\1\2<sup>\3</sup>^p"

if i type only (art. )([0-9]{1;})(^13) at the search field it works but if i type the rest it doesn't find anything

what is the answer for this problem please?

can't leave draft view

Posted: 25 Jul 2013 02:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I compared two large documents. When I save and open my newly created document with all the track changes in there, it only opens in "draft view". It does not allow me to switch to "print view" ("Seitenlayout" in german).

How can I switch to print view, so that I can see all the boloon tipps with the track changes?

thank you for any help.


Edit: I open the word in "save mode" and opened my document. now, it can switch between the two views. Can anybody please explain?


Edit 2: I can only switch from print view to draft view. But I cannot go back to print view.

I just accidentally click no to the autorecovery file. can i still retrieve my file?

Is it possible to associate different autocorrect settings with different Word templates?

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 06:15 PM PDT

I have different clients with different stylistic requirements. One allows the use of the word "click," for example, but another wants me to write "tap" in place of click all the time. One client wants the word spelled "dialog" and another wants it spelled "dialogue." Is there a way to tie autocorrect entries to distinct Word templates (.dotx or .dotm files) to facilitate this? I'd like to be able to write a doc for client A, for example, using the ClientA.dotx template and whenever I type the word "click" the autocorrect mechanism associated with ClientA.dotx would change that to "tap." If I were writing a doc for Client B, using the ClientB.dotx template, I would be able to write "click" and it would left alone. Similarly, the autocorrect function would ensure that "dialog" was spelled that way for one client but as "dialogue" for another.  The global autocorrect function (tied to the .acl files) is great for universal changes -- but in other situations where the variants are client specific it only gets in the way.

TIA

Bug: Incorrect caption numbers w/ multilevel list + headings

Posted: 24 Jul 2013 05:11 PM PDT

Word 2013 (and 2010) does not properly renumber existing {Figure|Table|Equation|Etc.} captions in a document when a multilevel list is attached to the "Heading n" styles.

Assume I have a document with many existing captions whose sequence numbers are keyed off the style "Heading 1", e.g.,

Figure 1.1  ==  Figure { STYLEREF 1 \s }.{ SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 1 }


If I now insert a caption that is keyed off the "Heading 9" style, for example, Word then incorrectly renumbers all existing captions, throughout the entire document, with the "Heading 9" style:

Figure 1.1  ->  Figure A.1  ==   *** BROKEN ***

Figure { STYLEREF 1 \s }.{ SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 1 } -> Figure { STYLEREF 9 \s }.{ SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 9 }

This is just ludicrous.

I've posted a short video on YouTube that demonstrates this bug:

http://youtu.be/yeD89a1RSyM

Going through a huge Word document that contains more than a hundred figures, tables, equations, etc. and manually fixing all of the broken caption field codes is not a viable solution. I might as well go back to using LaTeX, if that's the case. Am I missing something procedurally, here? Or does anyone perhaps know of a VBA script out there that repairs the captions that should be keyed on the "Heading 1" style after Word breaks them?
