Microsoft Word - features not working in msword 2007

Microsoft Word - features not working in msword 2007

features not working in msword 2007

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 02:57 PM PDT

When I type two hyphens and space I do not get the long hyphen. When I type web addresses they do not give the underline to actually access the site on the internet.  I am sure there are other features that do not work. Is there a graphics feature or some other feature I can click on to activate all the options instead of trying to solve them one at a time when I need them the most.

Out of control deleting in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 02:38 PM PDT

I'm getting an occasional problem where I start to delete text in Word and the deleting function takes on a life of its own: without my continuing to touch any keys, it continues to delete incredibly fast and the only to stop it seems to be hit the ESC key. 

Any ideas as to what causes this?

Many thanks

Which application would be the best to fill in a single form and have the information populated into other documents when requested?

Sort by last name a two line address book in Word

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 01:45 PM PDT

I have a three page address book in Word with the last name first in each two line address.  I'd like to sort these by last name. I'm guessing since there are no columns or fields in my Word file, I would need to export it into Excel, do the sorting there and then move it back into word after it has been sorted.  Although I would need some direction in doing that if that is even the proper solution. It might be better to just leave then in Excel, but you tell me.

Thanks! Office 2010 in Windows 8Pro.

How to get table to start lower than top of page

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 11:54 AM PDT

I have a table that is about a page and a half long. It has 3 columns and 10 rows. I have the option to "allow row to break across pages" NOT selected, as I want each row to be seen on one page, not spread across both pages.

Unfortunately, I want a bit of text to be read above this table, and when I have these 2 lines of text at the top of the page, the entire table then pushes itself down onto the next lower page. I'm pretty sure that I've worked with tables in the past, that had individual rows move from one page to another if the table itself was pushed farther down. But this table insists on moving every row to the next page.

I'm pretty sure that a table can start lower down on a page than the top--and still have entire rows bleed over onto the next page (remember, I don't want any row spread across both pages).

What do I need to do?

I have placed a link to this document, if anyone is interested. The table is the last two pages of this document.

"Search Commands" Feature

I have a word doc that I paste excel and then I resize to fit the page. When I close the word doc and reopen that object from excel are back to their original size.

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 09:22 AM PDT

I have a word doc that I paste excel and then I resize to fit the page.  When I close the word doc and reopen that object from excel are back to their original size.  I have an excel open then open the word file to update the figures in word.  I then close the file and when I reopens the excel charts that I pasted are back to the original size.  This is really a problem.  I have used the special paste etc. but still the excel worksheet reverts to the original size.

 

Thanks

Open Word documents in read mode

Is there a way to automatically open documents in the read mode in Word 2013?

The first part of my dissertation containing table of contents, declaration, table of figures etc has vanished.

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 04:30 AM PDT

I opened my word document this morning and everything was intact. I decided to update some references i had, with the endnote software and then i save my work again. Later in the day, i opened same document again, only to realise that all the first part of my work is gone. The table of contents, declaration, acknowledgement, table of figures etc are all gone. 

I have always saved my work by sending them to my yahoomail and outlook mail. I decided to go and download those ones too, only to find out that i have the same problem with them, the first part of the work is gone. 
Pls i need urgent help

How do I remove the footer space entirely?

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 02:24 AM PDT

All the blogs and "help" topics on footers describe only how to remove the footer content. I want to remove the footer space allowance altogether, however. MS Word 2010 (version 14.0.6129.5000) won't let me. Right now I have no footer at all (which is as I want it to be). but MS Word insists on reserving an approximately 3/4" horizontal band along the bottom of each page of my document for the non-existent footer. I want that band to cease and desist since I need to use that space for content in the body of my document. The page insists on breaking at 3/4" from the bottom even though I have changed my bottom margin to .3 inches.

Instructions are appreciated.

w:rsid XML tags in document.xml - what do they mean?

Posted: 03 Aug 2013 02:20 AM PDT

Can you conclude anything about how a document has been written, edited or put together from examining the w:rsid XML tags in the document.xml? I've got a bunch of questions about these tags to see if they help me at all. I'm looking through a document at the moment trying to understand how it has been created, and note there are tags like:

 

-<w:p w:rsidP="00562074" w:rsidRDefault="00562074" w:rsidR="00562074" w:rsidRPr="00FB1D99">

 

Do they tell you anything about when the document has been saved, in what order text has been written, whether or not text has been copied into the document from other sources, or authored originally in the document.

 

When does Word insert these tags? What actions on the part of the author would cause Word to insert them? What do the tags mean?

 

Any help appreciated.

Create a Word Book

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 08:27 PM PDT

Hi,

I have several individual word documents that are related to each.

The reason I have them separated is that I need to have each document with it's own header and footer with revision status for issue control.

I would like to combine these into one file but still maintain them with the separate revision status and page numbering.

 

I would like to create a word document (book) that combines each individual word documents with the characteristics they had as individual files.

Criteria as follows:

1) insert each of the individual word documents in to one document.

2) Have each inserted document maintain its own separate headers and footers with it's own revision status.

3) Have each also maintain it's own page numbers (each inserted document starts with page one etc)

 

Is this possible?

Can someone help?

It's appreciated.

 

Alternating Font & Font Color In Conversation

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 07:31 PM PDT

I frequently write back & forth conversation in stories, not screenplays so I don't want or need anything as complex as Celtx.  I just want to be able to quickly and easily switch back & forth, and have a different font and font color for each person, and for the narrative (Example: Gina-Arial, Red.  Stephen-Courier New, Brown. Narrative-Times New Roman, black).  I assume this would involve using a macro in some way but how would you suggest setting it up?  Is there another, easier way to go about it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Printer had been working fine.  Changed print cartridge.  Printer sends paper thru, makes print sounds, nothing on paper.  (Not the cartridge -- I tried two NEW cartridges.)
