Emailing data in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:08 PM PDT

I am sending manuscripts in Word 2013 through Yahoo.  My problem is that when you paste the data into Yahoo, it does not retain your original format. Is there a way to correct this or is there a free email that will work.

windows 8, office 2010

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I am using a new laptop with windows 8 and I installed my office 2010 on it.  Since my trial period ended with office 365, I am having a terrible time using office 2010.  It will no longer be the default program when I open files, it will not print to my new epson printer anymore, (neither will Word - from 365 office).  It seems as if Microsoft doesn't want me to use the 2010 programs and only office 365. Can someone help me make office 2010 the default again and allow it to print or create mail merges (won't allow it to connect to outlook any longer either). 

thanks.

Indexing

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 01:51 PM PDT

Something is wrong with the way I do indexing.  I follow the instructions exactly.  But, the pages in the index come out wrong.  The problem is that after a few pages, the XE entry for each indexed word adds so much material to the page that the indexed word is on the next page and the index reflects that page not the page the word is on after I go back to the original formatting.  How do I solve this problem.  apparently everyone else already has.

 

How to change "simple markup" in Word 2013 to "all markup" as the default setting?

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 12:54 PM PDT

Every time I open a Word doc with changes in 2013, the default "simple markup" is a feature I truly hate.

It requires me to click on "all markup" every single time.  I want to know if there's any change as soon as the doc is opened.  For a one-page doc, the little bar is good enough, but definitely not for hundreds of pages with a couple changes in the middle of nowhere.

Is there a way to change the default to "all markup"?  Thanks in advance!

Ribbon key tips in Office 2013 driving me crazy

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 11:24 AM PDT

I'm a long-time user of Office 2007/2010 at work and use a lot of shortcut keys in Excel, PowerPoint and Word to get things done efficiently and quickly. However, I recently purchased a new personal laptop with Office 2013 installed and the lag time when using keyboard shortcuts is driving me crazy! 

It seems like the programs are forced to slowly (very very slowly) display shortcut key suggestions for every option on the ribbon before executing my command. 

For example, in Word, if I want to access the line spacing options menu, I can type ALT-H-K. In previous versions of Word, I would reach the menu almost instantaneously. However, in 2013, the program slowly displays all the main toolbar key tips (from left to right -- not even simultaneously) after I hit ALT, then slowly displays all the "home" toolbar key tips after I hit K. 

It is maddening. Any way to fix this? Or do I need to downgrade to 2010? 

change number of total pages so does not reflect front matter

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 09:54 AM PDT

My user has a document that has an unnumbered cover page and 5 pages roman numbered (ii - iv).  The main text of the document beings with a Section 6 and needs to be numbered 1 of X.  I added the following to the NUMPAGES field... {={NUMPAGES}-6}, which subtracts the 6 pages in the front from the total number of pages.  This works as long as the number of pages prior to section 6 do not change. Is there a way to modify NUMPAGES to adjust for a variable number of pages which precede the starting section?  Is there a numbering field or switch which will allow for a 1 of X going forward in the document?

Word/Excel links won't update on some systems

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 09:43 AM PDT

I have a Word document saved as 97-2003 Compatible (.doc) with links to an Excel macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm), although the workbook does not actually have macros in it right now.

On my computer, when I edit the Excel file and then open the Word file (both in 2010), and it asks me if I want to update the links, I click 'yes' and all the link fields update as expected. Likewise they work fine when using Office 2007.

However a customer of mine, who also uses Office 2010, opens the exact same Word file on his system using the exact same Excel file, and none of the links update when he clicks 'yes'. Furthermore, when he manually updates the links, some of the links update and some refuse. There's no error message, they just don't update. He has used the same files on a Mac (Office 2011) and does not run into this problem.

Both of us use Windows 7. What is my customer doing wrong?

Czech letter on the beginning of the word not gonna write

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:25 AM PDT

Hello,

my client have MS Word destop application (installed via Office 365 SM).

When I writing some word with the czech specific first letter (like "Č", "Š", etc.), this letter will not be viewed on screen.

I write this czech specific letter like combination SHIFT+"=" (on EN keyboad --> on CZ keyboard this is specific character ... english translate for this character is HOOK) and next SHIFT+"c". The expected result is BIG czech specific LETTER like "Č". The expected result is BIG czech specific LETTER like "Č". But I see nothing. Any letter was add on my screen.
 

For your information:

When I pressed CAPS LOCK and then I pressed same czech specific letter (like "č", "š", etc.) but like SMALL character (not BIG),  I view on screen this letter like BIG czech specific LETTER = this is correct.


This is problem only for Word, Excel function correctly. I checked off all automatic grammar correction, but without success.

 


Do you have solution for this problem?

Thank you for your support.
 

Regards,


Radek

How can I use Velocity variables in a header?

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 06:13 AM PDT

I have created a Word document template using Apache Velocity. The only thing I haven't been able to get to work is the header. I want to use values obtained through the Velocity code in the header starting in the second section of the document. I don't get any errors when I reference the Velocity variables in the header but I also don't get any values displayed. I can use the Velocity variables everywhere else in the template just not in the header.

Can I have a Macro in a Word doc link with cells in Excel

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 05:58 AM PDT

Hello Again All,

  I am trying something I have never done and not even sure it can be. I have an excel sheet where I have created a macro that attaches a form letter word document when a certain condition is met and emails it out to the necessary parties. What I am now trying to do is create a macro in the word doc so when I open it after receiving the email certain information that is in the excel sheet will populate back into the word doc. Is this even possible?

My Word Doc:

[Employee Name] (John Doe) (excel cell A6)

 

On [date] (9/2/2013) (excel cell C6) you received FMLA Certification Documents for [reason] (mom sick) (excel cell H6). You were asked to have the certification documents completed and returned within 15 calendar days [date] (9/16/2013) (excel cell G6).

 

My Excel Sheet:

Today's Date: 9/17/2013            
Associate  Date Paperwork Requested from Home Office Date Paperwork Given to Associate 16 Day Window with Attch. 16 Day Email Sent Paperwork Returned from Assoc. Scheduled Return Date for Paperwork from Assoc. Reason

How to paste keeping the source formatting but continue typing using the one from destination

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 05:02 AM PDT

This is a very common problem, in office it exists for ages in outlook, word, one note at least.

I'm typing a text. Then I paste a text keeping the source formatting and continue typing. What I type is now formatted the same way as the pasted text. But I only want the pasted text to be source formatted and already the next character should go formatted the original way. Currently I have to copy another piece of my original text to restore a formatting, very inconvenient. Is there another way to do it?

Thanks!

Word 2010: How to update a formula value automatically

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 04:37 AM PDT

I am building a form template with several scoring fields.
At the end I would like to have a scoring total.

I did this by using bookmarks withing the different scores, and then a formula summarizing those bookmarks.
It works as expected.

But can't I make this total field be automatically updated?
Do I need to go there and update the field?

Pivot Table Calculated Field results in error when data updates

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 03:20 AM PDT

Has anyone any suggestion as to why a pivot table returns the Name error in calculated fields after additional columns are added to a database.  To recreate the problem: a) Create a simple database - Field names: Product, Quantity and Price; b) Insert a Pivot and bring down Product Field and create a Calculated Field, ie Quantity*Price; c) Back in the database insert a new column after Product Field for Product Code and populate this column. When you refresh the Pivot the Calculated Field will display the Name Error.  Any suggestions on why this occurs and how to rectify it would be appreciated.  

"Recent documents" list shows not so recent documents

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:52 AM PDT

Can anyone explain this: This morning when I opened Word 2013 to have a look at one of my most recently opened documents, suddenly the list of "recent documents" was topped by ten or so very OLD documents that I hadn't even opened since I bought my computer (they were transferred from an old hard drive). I got spooked and asked if my partner had been peeking at my docs while I was asleep (heh, well it *could* happen...). My partner, naturally, was nonplussed. In fact, the same thing had happened on her computer as well. Now we are both spooked...

 

I have never used SkyDrive, I don't even log in to my Microsoft account when I use my computer normally. I never synchronize my documents with anything whatsoever, so it has nothing to do with synchronization stuff. I'm hoping there is a "natural" explanation for this, and that it doesn't mean our laptops are hacked...?

Cancel Print Queue

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:24 AM PDT

I use Windows 8. Every time I open up my HP laptop, my HP wireless printer keeps printing one page of a document I tried to print previously, then the printer goes into "cancelling" mode and remains at that status. I have turned the printer off and on and the same thing happens. Can anyone tell me how to cancel the print job.

Cursor jumps to start of document every time the document either manually or auto saves

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 02:13 AM PDT

We have this same problem on everyone's machine in the same office, all of us on word 2007. 

Every time a document is either manually saved or the autosave kicks in the cursor position jumps to the top of the document (or in some cases the top of page 2) and you have to scroll back down to find where you were.  This is especially annoying when you are mid-sentance and it suddenly starts typing into the first page of the document!

Has anyone found a fix for this?  I did try opening word in safe mode using:    winword /a   from the start menu and it then doesn't seem to happen - I don't know if this helps the diagnosis at all?

Could it be an interference from our Goldmine plugin we have for documents (although it does happen on all documents not just ones linked to Goldmine)?

Thanks,

Emma

Heading formatting

Posted: 30 Aug 2013 01:00 AM PDT

Hi there,

I'm currently writing a longer report, hence I like a nice looking layout to it. I've already formatted my 'Heading 1' to start on a new page but I would also like the heading to be "pushed" down a bit on the page. What I mean is that I like 'Heading 1' to have a larger space between the header and its own paragraph.

I have tried with the 'Spacing before' option in 'Modify style' -> 'Paragraph' menu but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried with the 'Frame'-option in the same menu but for one couldn't bottom align the text or make the boarder I have added to 'Heading 1' expand through the entire margin of the page.

What I'm looking for is simply a way to create blank space before my 'Heading 1'. Is there a solution for this? Thanks!

Suppress blank fields in a merge

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 05:51 PM PDT

Hi,

 

I have a database that i am merging to a letter:

 

I have 3 address fields, some of the cells per record are blank.

 

I want to not leave a blank space if the mergefiled is empty.

 

I have this code for 2 address lines but can't work out how to expand it for 3:

 

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Address2 } = "" "{ MERGEFIELD Address1 }" "{ MERGEFIELD
Address1 }¶
{ MERGEFIELD Address2 }" }

 

Can anybody help please?

 

Kind regards

When I save as PDF, my comments disappear

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 05:49 PM PDT

When I save my .doc or .docx file as a .pdf, my comments in the margin disappear. The text is highlighted, and my initials are inline with the text, but the comments are gone. I have to upload these graded documents in .pdf form, so I can't just leave it in .doc or .docx format. How do I make sure the comments are preserved?

Here is what I have tried:
**File/Options/Advanced/Layout---Mark a random check box in the list. This works sometimes on the first time, but sometimes it takes 4 or 5 tries until they magically appear after conversion.

**I have used Cute PDF to print to PDF with markups. This works. HOWEVER, it only works the first time. If I have to make a change to the original .doc/.docx file and print it to PDF again, the comments in the margins are lost. Interestingly enough, the wide right margin is still there where the comments should be, but it is empty. It seems that I shouldn't have to use a 3rd party to convert this to PDF if the "save as" option is available.

Can someone please help me? After grading over 100 papers and having these troubles, it has eaten up hours of my time and increased my frustration greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Start 1st level as 1.1. in multilevel lists

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 04:27 PM PDT

I need my first level of a multilevel list in MS Word 2010 to start as 1.1. and increment to 1.2. and so on for items on the same level.
This need arises because my current level 1 is styled as a Heading 2 and upon save as PDF, it shows up in the pdf tags pane as an H2 but not within my list. This is a problem.

Starting level 1 as 1.1. instead of 1. will solve this problem.

Word 2010 triggering AutoComplete prompt when using AutoTexts

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 03:58 PM PDT

I'm using Word/Office 2010 on Windows 7.   I'm having problems with AutoComplete working consistently when using AutoTexts. 

 

I've programmed AutoTexts through Building Blocks.   Names are 4 or more unique characters.   Using the AutoText gallery.   Saved under normal.

 

The AutoTexts work fine as long as I use the F3 command to trigger them.  But, I really like the AutoComplete feature where you get enough unique characters, and it shows you part of the text and then you can hit Enter instead to complete your text.    However, the AutoComplete with the enter option is not working consistently.    I could have two different documents open, and the same AutoText works in one document but not the other.   But when I checked options on both documents, the "Show AutoComplete Suggestions" box was checked in both cases.   So I'm not really understanding why it works in one but not the other.  My best theory so far is that I'm trying to use an AutoText after running an AutoText which sets up further formatting.   So it seems the autocomplete doesn't work if I had just run a different autotext.  The autotexts work, but not the autocomplete trigger.  But I still don't know what to do even with this theory other than having to rework everything! 

 

The documents I seem to have the most problems with are created using a couple of steps.  I have blank templates that set the margins, header, footer, etc. for documents.  For my own purposes, I call them them a "frame".   I then use AutoText to fill in the frame using with different AutoTexts for creating different documents.   The contents are generally a table which is then filled out with the identifying information ending at a cursor outside of the table for the remainder of the document.   I don't seem to be able to get AutoComplete to work at this point.

 

I can go into my blank "frame" and the autotext and autocomplete functions work perfectly through the enter key.   But if I had just run an autotext to setup further formatting, I don't seem to be able to get the AutoComplete feature to work.  (Does this make any sense?).   The AutoText will work but only if I hit F3.   But I really REALLY like the AutoComplete because it helps with remembering what the shortcut is when it pops up the tip with the data I'm trying to complete.

 

Does anyone have any tips or solutions for me?   Thanks.  

 

 

 

 

Cannot Save As documents in Word 2010

I am not able to save as documents.  I am able to save but not save as.  I choose file, click on save as and the normal save window pops up.  The cursor automatically goes to the as tab.  From here when I try to change the document name and click on save as tab another window opens up telling me Microsoft Word has stopped responding.  

I have not made any changes to my system.
