Word 2010, How to Select an entire line during a Search and Replace

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 08:32 AM PDT

Hello All,

 

Is it possible to select an entire line when doing a Search and Replace based on what the line begins with?

 

For example, the lines I want to replace all BEGIN with a "JW" but after those 2 characters it could be anything. But I would like to highlight the entire line so when I do a replace I can format the entire line to be Bold and 14 pt.

 

When I try this search (below), I know how to do the formatting but when I do the search it ONLY highlights the first 3 characters.

Example:  *I already selected the "Use Wildcards" checkbox...

     Search String --> " JW?* "

        *ignore the whitespace in the quote

 

So the Search string above starts with "JW", then I have the "?" which is any character, then I have the " * " which is 0 or more times. So shouldn't the search highlight the "JW", then any character after that 'x' number or times? The goal is to get that entire line highlighted...

 

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Matt

Making Web View the default

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 07:09 AM PDT

I mostly work in web view these days. How can I make web view the default view, when I open Word 2013? Word always opens in print view, even though I set the Normal.dotm template to web view.

It works in 2010 (when I set the Normal template to web view, Word 2010 opens in web view by default), why doesn't it work in 2013?

Anything I can do about this, like maybe a registry edit, or anything else? Anyone any suggestions?

(Before you answer, understand that I'm not a programming/coding guru)

Thanks in advance.

How to repeat numbers in a multilevel list?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 07:06 AM PDT

I have a multilevel list in a two-column table. I need the two columns to parallel one another, so that when item 1 appears in the left column, it also appears in the right column.

Word 2007 automatically numbers the left and right columns sequentially. Previously, I was able to simply right click and set the numbering values to match. However, now I receive a message that states, "This value is less than the previous entry in the list. Use a value that is greater than the previous entry."

How can I change this so that either the numbers repeat automatically (best case) or I can manually change them? Does this have something to do with "Advance value"? (When I deselect "Advance value," I am unable to set a value at all – the "Set value to:" box is grayed out.)

Note: In the Modify Style (of multilevel list) dialogue, I am unable to select "Restart list after:" – it is grayed out, probably because this is Level 1.

I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Whenever I rename my file it says .doc at the end. Why is that?

Convert Word or Text list into a list format in Excel?

how do you get a long list (in Word or Text) separated by commas into a list format in Excel?  Each word needs to be in one row (all in one column).

SQL command message when opening Word

Posted: 16 Jul 2013 09:20 AM PDT

Everytime I open Word I get a screen that says this:  "This message can appear if your document contains code for accessing information from a database - for example, if your document is a form letter that retrieves an address from a mailing list. If this is expected behavior and you want to retrieve the data, click Yes. If you don't think this document should be accessing information from a database, click No. If a network administrator or IT professional is available, let them know about the SQL command that this document is attempting to run.  "  I also can't open a blank page document without getting a label document I tried to print a long time ago...which I can't delete.  So, no new blank documents are possible. What is up?

Word 2010 CPU usage

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 09:18 PM PDT

Using MS Office, Word 2010 about a year (Windows 7).  Recently, soon after opening, something starts to run in the background that makes it very difficult to use Word.  Curser is small circle that blinks rather fast.  CPU is running between 60 to 70%.  Doesn't seem to bother other Office programs.  Any ideas?
