Need to get rid of "reserved by" password on a file in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 02:36 PM PDT

I've been looking all over the web trying to find an answer to this, but none of the solutions have worked yet. Maybe I'm just not asking the right question.

I have a file that gives me the message "'File Name' is reserved by Person's Name" and it requires a password if you want to open it.


All of the information I've seen after searching the web says that you simply need to turn off the password or change permissions to "Unrestricted Access," however, this document has no password encryption and the access is already unrestricted.



Does anyone have any idea of where this "reserved by" password is and how to get rid of it?

Footnotes and section break

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 02:22 PM PDT

In my thesis, I included section breaks at the beginning of each chapter so footnotes start at 1 each time. However, I want to change the layout of one single page to landscape in one chapter but keep the footnotes continuous - but with footnote 1 at the beginning of the chapter, not with the beginning of the document. Anyone knows how can I fix this? Is there any way to change the layout of a page without introducing a section break? 
Thanxs! 

Advanced Conditional Mail Merging

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 02:20 PM PDT

I am creating a master one-size-fits-all gift acknowledgement letter template to use in conjunction with Conga Mail Merge in Salesforce. My source data for the mail merge has dates formatted as MM/DD/YY and donation amounts formatted with two decimal places. The source data also includes a "total gifts" and a "total gifts last year" field. I have two questions:

1) I want to reformat the date and $ amount in the mail merge conditions. I want the date to be Month D, YYYY and the $ amount to only include cents if there is any. Is this possible? Because I am not completing the mail merge in Word, I can't just reformat the source data and use the "via DDE" to bring it over.

2) Can I do calculations in the merge fields? That is, can I say something like... { IF {MERGEFIELD Total_Gifts} > {{MERGEFIELD Amount} + {MERGEFIELD Total_Gifts_Last_Year}} "back" ""}

Remove "Book fold" Page Setup and Additional Pages Word 2010

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 01:58 PM PDT

I recently did a booklet with 132 pages. When the book fold setup was printing incorrectly (now realising due to all books having even page numbers on left hand side, not right), I changed the page setup back to 'normal' (obviously choosing "whole document"), but document still shows book fold connections on print preview and still prints as a booklet. When I go back in to page setup, it has not saved my changes.

 

Also, due to book fold setup, Word has inserted extra blank pages that I cannot remove as they do not show up unless I view in 'Print Preview'.

 

I have tried and tested 'clear formatting' and everything else I can think of, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Macros aren't being saved

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 11:45 AM PDT

Greetings,


Any  time I create a macro, they work on the new files, again, until I close Word. Upon reopening the program, I get the error message "the macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your macro security settings". I've changed the settings to accept all macros.


It would be great if someone could help me via screensharing.

I'm getting this message when trying to insert a pdf document into Word.  This is Office 2007 and Windows 7.  We had Adobe Reader X so we unchecked the start in protected mode and still getting this error.  So we upgraded to Reader XI and still getting the same error.  I am able to do this on another PC with Office 2007 and Reader XI.  When that error came up we tried to end the acrord32 process, but then received this error:
The program used to create this object is Package. That program is not installed on your computer
 
Anyone know of any solutions?

Custom size; manual feed (MS Word 2010)

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:57 AM PDT

Just had a new computer installed, and am having difficulty with previously created Word documents (on a shared drive).  I have several docs that are set up as custom sizes (greeting card envelopes) for manual feed.  The current one I am working on is 7.1" W and 5" H, and those dimensions are in the Word document page setup. This same document has printed perfectly for years, however now when I feed manually the text doesn't line up.  It's as if the printer is not recognizing that the document is centered inside the manual feed printer guides. 

 

When I open the same document on a different computer, it prints fine.  Any suggestions?

Can I install Word 2007 with Office 2010 installed?

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Hi all,

 

I installed the entire Office 2010 program a few years ago. As a technical writer, I find Word 2010 to be riddled with bugs compared to Word 2007. The MS fans call them "design changes." I call them a royal pain in the butt.

 

I would like to revert to Word 2007. Do I need to uninstall Word 2010, and then install Word 2007? Will that work? Many thanks.

Hide reviewer names in Word 2013

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:15 AM PDT

I'm not trying to anonymize or anything, it's just that with names showing before every single edit it's too busy and not easy to see what the actual changes are.  I can't believe there's not a simple "hide or show" option for review names.

Word Documents won't open.

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:13 AM PDT

My computer has worked beautifully for a year.  This morning Word will not allow me to open my documents.  It says, "This document does not contain headings.  To create navigation tabs, create headings in your document."  I don't want to do that.  My existing documents were perfect just like they were and I want them back just like they were.  I need help.

How do I restore my desktop icon?

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:02 AM PDT

Last night I used PC Fine Tune "Broken Shortcut Cleaner". This product: Finds and Removes all Invalid or Broken Shortcuts.  After I ran the cleaner, I found many programs missing entirely.

 

In addition, I did not see the Word icon on my desktop. I went into my documents and found all my Word documents still in place there. I was able to open them successfully without a problem.

 

But now I have no way of directly opening Word without first opening up a pre-existing documents. How do I restore my desktop icon?

 

Please help.

 

Thanks.

Inserting a drop down list

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:11 AM PDT

I am currently creating a risk analysis document and I am trying to figure a way where a user can select one of three choices (high, moderate, low) in one cell of a table and then in another cell it will reflect a line of text tied to that. In trying to develop a solution I researched and found a way to do it through use of the developer tab and and drop down list properties (note this ties it all into one cell instead of two which I originally wanted but this is fine) .  It works with one exception, it only allows a limited amount of text characters in the text description that goes with the high, moderate, low ratings which will not work for my situation. So two questions. 1 if this is the process how can I expand the amount of text I can use and two is there a better way to do this. Thanks for any and all help in advance.

re: SkyDrive app with Office 2007 and iPad

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 07:31 AM PDT

Hi All,

 

I have just discovered 'SkyDrive', but not yet having downloaded or used it yet, would like to know whether anyone here knows if it is capable of letting me upload a word document (.doc, .docx, .rtf) or a plain text/notepad document to the SkyDrive folder without it moving the text all over the shop and making it look like a real mess.

 

I believe this app is supposedly compatible with Windows Vista/MS Office as well as iPad/iPhone etc.

 

What I WANT to do is upload my (MS Word Document) CV to SkyDrive - 'on the web'? - from my Win Vista PC (in whatever format is the most compatible), then download it to my iPad, so that this document can then be saved on my iPad and sent as an attachment in an e-mail (using the native apple e-mail app) for job applications.

 

Is this possible using SkyDrive?

 

I have already wasted far too much time without success trying to make this happen with Documents Unlimited, and would like some advice from people here as to whether or not they have had success at trying to do this sort of thing and what apps they used.

 

IF this is possible, then no editing will be needed as my CV is currently saved in multiple formats (including plain text that has no 'fancy detailing' like tabs or underlining anyway).

 

I am happy to send it using either .doc or .docx formats for my CV, as both leave this document looking neat, tidy and very readable.

 

I don't like plain text or rtf versions as they look messed up and hard to read.

 

I have tried more than several times to open, view and edit my CV (using all four above file formats) on my iPad from within "Documents Unlimited", after e-mailing it to myself from my Win Vista Desktop, so that I could then e-mail this CV in job applications from my iPad.

 

Unfortunately no matter what file format I choose, to save, open or view or edit, this document, this "Documents Unlimited" iPad app cannot keep from messing up the text, so as to turn it into a horrible mess. 

 

Even if i re-write my CV from scratch, within the Documents Unlimited iPad app, and don't use ANY tabs, or bullet points but just BOLD for headings (plus increase font size of headings by two size points) and then save this 'new' document in Documents Unlimited, and e-mail it back to myself (from my iPad), then open this 'new' document, either on my iPad or in Office on my windows vista pc (just to check what a recipient using Windows and Office would receive), the text is messed up again!

 

Any/all advice is much appreciated,  :)

 

Thanks in advance,

 

:)

How do I mail merge percentages from excel?

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:17 AM PDT

I have Microsoft Office 2010 and during a mail merge I am unable to transfer percentages. I've tried multiple things. With the dynamic data exchange, it deletes my percentage fields and when I try to re add them they are no longer on the list. When trying to change the code through SHIFT-F9 and adding \# 00.00 the percent is displayed as .03% instead of 3%. When I change the code from {={MERGEFIELD "Data"}*100\#0%} I get an error.

How to preview Heading level 4 in the Automatic Table of Content?

Incorrect word wrap in column

Posted: 05 Aug 2013 06:40 PM PDT

I am having a similar problem but not a comment.  I have a Word 2010 document with a column break about half way into the first page.  After the column break I have two columns setup.  The problem I am having is on the first line of the second page, in the right-hand column, the text does not wrap when I reach the right margin.  I can still type but the text is not visible and neither is the cursor.  The text momentarily "flashes" while typing but other than that I can not see it.  After I hit enter to insert a CR/LF, the cursor show back up again on line 2.  If I go back up to the visible part of line 1 anywhere on that line and hit enter the invisible text moves down a line and becomes visible.

 

This only happens after the column break not on a page without a column break.  The error is not consistent and I can not tie it to a specific event or keystroke sequence.  The only work around I have found is to leave the first line on the page blank and start my text on line 2.

 

Microsoft phone support thinks this might be a bug.

Alphabetizing without 'The'

Example of how my table is:

The Random D


Example of what I want:

headers stability issue

Posted: 05 Aug 2013 04:17 PM PDT

I have written a book containing several chapters.  I have inserted headers reflecting the chapter titles.  The chapters are divided by section breaks and the headers are unlinked to other sections.  I enter everything which appears to go as it should,  and the document looks fine, but as soon as I switch out of the header/footer toolbar, every header becomes the last chapter heading!  This is driving me crazy.  Anyone have a fix?
