How do I sync the page numbers in the TOC with the actual page in the document?

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:42 PM PDT

I am trying to sync my page numbers listed in my TOC with the actual page number that it is in the document.  Some Headings may be more than one page, so each heading will be a different number.  And can it auto-sync if we move something around or change the order? We might be changing the parts in red but the title will always be the same, so if the page number can follow the header title?

 

Example:  Right now i have this table of contents

Everything shows pretty much page 7 right now.  When technically the page number for S-1a is 6, S-1b is 8, S-1D is 11 and so on.  I hope this is making sense, its hard to explain.  i have tried doing plenty of research and cant find anything on what im talking about.

 

Please help if you can....

Thanks.

I have a new pc w/windows 7/You gave me a key for office 2013 I think you should change that

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:34 PM PDT

I just purchased a Hewlet Packard desk top . I had a Dell with windows xp. now I have windows 7. I m '76 years old and having a hard time getting used to the upgrade. I purchased OFFICE  Home and Student 2013. I don't know if I made a mystake?If this program is as confusing as windows 7, I may have to cancel. also if this program has storage than I don't need the online vault, that wouldn't make sense.I purchased both.I am writing a book with Dragon Naturally Speaking. I would like a program that would help me to set up format appropriate to manuscript writing. Dragon does not indent paragraphs or do double spacing. will this program help me with that or am I wasting my money. I don't use the pc for very much else. the program offers too many things that I will never use.

When trying to use the "Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit", receiving message "A device attached to the system is not functioning"

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:21 PM PDT

I am trying to use the "Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit" in Windows8 6.2.0092

Upon clicking the shortcut on the desktop I get the error as shown above.

 

It seems to work on a different machine running Vista, but the reason I bought this W8 machine is because the keyboard is kaput on the Vista machine.

word docs converted to open office

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 01:25 PM PDT

I use Word 2010 and also have Open Office 4.0.0.  Since I updated Open Office, all of my word files are converting to Open Office.  This includes new documents created in Word and old documents already on file.  The only way I can change a doc., sometimes, is to open it in Open Office, cut it, open Word and paste it, then save it in rich text format.  How do I stop this Open Office takeover?

Word 2007 Save As Dialogue Box disappears

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 01:01 PM PDT

We have Windows 7 and use Office 2007.  The scenario is that a user saves a document and the dialogue box comes up.  The user then toggles over to another program (let's say Outlook) and then toggles back to Word.  The dialogue box isn't there anymore.  It looks like Word is frozen because the box is open, but you can't see it or get to it.  When you hover over the Word icon on the task bar, it's not there.  We have told people how to Alt-Tab until they see the Word icon and click on it; that will bring the box/window forward and they can continue to save their document.  Anybody know how to fix that?

Clear Font & Paragraph formatting

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:40 AM PDT

I have to create 100's CVs
Mostly from pre-formatted documents

I want to 
  1. Clear all text formatting
  2. Clear all paragraph formatting (line spacing)
  3. Set margins
  4. Set whole document to Arial 12

I plan to record a macro
Only thing I cant find is (2) a method of clearing all paragraph formatting back to default - I see a default button but the prompt/warning seems to suggest that it wants to update the default settings from the selection instead of apply them to the selection

Question - how do i clear all Paragraqph formatting back to default?

Page 1 is showing as Page 0

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:01 AM PDT

I have inserted fields to show Page 1 of 20 etc on each page.  I have done this across numerous documents - all are fine except one of them which is showing the first page as page 0 instead of page 1.  There are no section breaks above it, and I can't find anything 'different first page'. 

I'm stumped, can anyone help?

Thanks.

Word could not recover Building Blocks.dotx

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:56 AM PDT

While working on a Word macro, Word started crashing. This happened 4-5 times in a few hours. At one point, the macro got into an infinite loop. I used Ctrl+Break to interrupt it. I don't recall if the first Word crash happened before or after the infinite loop.

After one crash, I got a pop-up message saying "Word could not recover an automatically saved document from the last session. (C:\...\1033\Building Blocks.dotx)

I have tried restarting Word and rebooting the computer. The computer reboots without errors and Word restarts without errors.

I searched the KB and found a link to a page that offered to fix the problem for me. Here's the link:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925175/en-us#FixItForMeAlways

The instructions said I would get a pop-up asking me if I wanted to Run something. But when I clicked on the Fix It button, I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to Save a file named MicrosoftFixit50722.msi. I said "Yes", it saved the file, then did nothing.

Is the problem with Building Blocks.dotx caused by or causing the Word crashes?

What do I need to do to recover?

PS: I did a search of my hard disk for "Building Blocks.dotx". This is what I found:

10/27/06 08:32 Building Blocks.dotx.save
10/27/06 09:32 Building Blocks.dotx
10/27/12 11:32 ~$ilding Blocks.dotx.save
10/27/12 11:32 ~$ilding Blocks.dotx

They are all in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033.

Inserting backgrounds into select table cells in word 2010

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:47 AM PDT

Hi, I need help in how to insert a background image into select cells into a an Avery template. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I am printing labels with a coloured background (that is an image) on 8 1/2 x 11" paper. there are 50 labels per sheet.

Template WL-1000 is here http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/wl-ol1000.htm

I inserted the background into the entire sheet via pagelayout and it printed great. I am using white font on a black mottled background.

However, I don't want to print 50 labels each time! Sometimes I may need to print only 3 or 4 at a time. But if I print the black background for the entire page with only a few labels, the remaining ones will be unusable (ie it will only be black).

Is there a way I can insert the background image only into individual cells when I'm not printing a full sheet?

Thanks!!!

MS Word and Excel quit working

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:37 AM PDT

I have the Student Teacher MS Office 2003. Word and Excel both quit working.  I get an error message that says I have a corrupted file, X112.cab, whatever that is. I can't find my original disks. I have found a used disk in a store that I could buy for 10.00.  However it will have a different serial number than my program. What should I do?  Should I completely uninstall mine?  Should I install the new one over the top of the old one and hope that the file x112.cab will work? Can I find x112.cab online someplace, and is there a way to install it?  I've checked my computer (Windows 7) for worms, viruses, and malware three different ways, and I have none. Suggestions?  thanks, Bill

I have a very basic Word document on SkyDrive that Field Training Officers can post notes regarding the training progress of newly hired individuals.  They all have permission to edit the document.  

When we go to edit the document using the Word Web App, the following message is displayed:

Even as owner of the document I cannot edit this without the same message.  We need to get this fixed or find another service to use.

Word 2013 works for one user but not others on same pc

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 08:59 AM PDT

I have installed a purchased copy of Office 2013. I am able to launch and use Word 2013 when logged on with my profile. Other users on the same pc are able to launch Word 2013, but are unable to create or open existing Word documents (.doc or .docx). It doesn't throw an error, simply goes away and displays that Word has encountered an error. Users only recourse is to acknowledge the error, which then throws them out of Word.

How to prevent minimized word documents from expanding when I open another document

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 08:23 AM PDT

I have a Word document that I keep open with the window minimized on the taskbar all day long at work.  Every time I open another word document, it expands the minimized document as well as the document I just opened.  Then, I have to close the new document and minimize the always-open document to get back to my desktop.

 

Is there a way to prevent this?

Unable to download 2012 Calendar Templates in Word 2010

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:27 AM PDT

Non-admin users seem to be able to download all templates in Word 2010 EXCEPT any under 2012 Calendars.  Admin users can download those templates fine.  I have found that this was a known issue in Word 2007, but supposedly did not affect 2010....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665200

The article has a screenshot of the exact error message my users see when trying to access a 2012 Calendar template. I realize that the templates can be manually downloaded from the website and stored somewhere, but why doesn't the built-in function work?

Environment is XenApp 6.5 running on Server 2008 R2.  Published Word 2010 app.


Am I the only one?


Thanks,

Dilemma with pharagraph settings when using enter key

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 05:51 AM PDT

Hi this is a split from Forum issues short thread at this time split by Emily,

Seeking possible happy minimum setting to turn off in word doc's paragraph and paste features to resolve some format tags amplifying larger spaces than normal in the doc file it's self when pasting here at Answers forum.

I'm like most people I have canned responses and they come from word not notepad,

Brief descriptions and clickable links....

I uploaded the settings I'm currently using on a new doc,

http://sdrv.ms/13Kislh

Is there any setting I can turn off which would help the tags being amplified here,

Firedog suggested using Shift+Enter on page 2 instead of simply Enter to make new space for adding new content/ tutorials...

Because I do like to separate content to easier locate different sections and easily see where a section stops and another starts for coping from the doc,

Thanks in advance,

Cheers.

How do I make every first word in every paragraph bold?

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 05:38 AM PDT

I have a document with more than a hundred pages, full of definition paragraphs:

ABC: 142543748

DFR: 54484

DTHJ: 7648dh877

DGHH: 7484g6

Initially I made every definition bold (ie: "ABC: 142543748..."), but then restyled the document, which overrode all the bold definitions, and saved it without "versions" enabled.
What do I do from here? Manually changing everything would be ridiculous.

Ctrl + Page Up (BrowsePrev) and Ctrl + Page Down (BrowseNext) not working

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 04:27 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am using Word 2010 and in a number of documents the Ctrl + Page Up (BrowsePrev) and Ctrl + Page Down (BrowseNext) not working.

 

I know there is a difference from previous versions of Word in respect of the behaviour of the navigation pane. This is not that issue. This applies even when using the old fashioned "Advanced Find" box.  The behaviour is as follows:

 

I open Advanced Find (Ctrl + g, followed by Alt + d) - I then type in my search term and can repeatedly click "Find Next" to cycle through appearances of the search term. This works as expected.

 

If I then escape the Advanced Find box, I would expect that I can use Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down to cycle through the search term. This does not work. I checked and I have not reassigned the keyboard shortcut. Also, the arrows in the very bottom right that you would expect to achieve the same do not work. Nothing happens on pressing them.

 

I know also that it is possible to select difference "Browse Objects" for those shortcuts apply to. I definitely have the "Find" object selected.

 

In fact, I checked a different Browse Objects and that also did not work. E.g., I have 6 footnotes in my document, but browsing by footnotes does not work.

 

It may be something to do with the formatting of the document. When I "select all" and paste into a clear document with no formatting, it works as normal.

 

Thank you,

John

Printer Won't Print Microsoft Word OR Adobe Acrobat (PDF) Files!

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:13 PM PDT

This is urgent! I just started an online course and I need to print lots of material. I contacted my printer company and after an hour or troubleshooting, it became clear that Word was the problem. I can print web pages, notepad, etc. I can even print NEW word documents, but any documents sent to me via my instructor (or old documents saved to my computer) will NOT print. On a whim I converted them to a PDF file. It printed the first one, then refused to recognize any PDF files after that. This is happening on all 4 computers in my home. It's not just my computer, it's every single computer in the house! Please help!

Is there no way to list every word doc on my computer, no matter how long it takes?

How to have multiple rows show on a word table template output?

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 03:54 PM PDT

We have a computer system where the system generates a data file (behind the scenes) that is then used to create an output in word. We set up a word template for merging the oputput data points. For my output needs, I would like a data file format because I have names and addresses of 12K+ to send to a mail house. The suggestion was to create a word table template that I can then copy into excel. This works, however, I cannot seem to get more than one row of data onto a page. I have added the merge field "next" at the end of the last merge field in the last data column, I have added next at the beginning of the second row of data before the data field, I have added rows to fill a page (about 5) – nothing is working. Any suggestions please? I don't want to have 12K pages of data output.

I am on Word 2010.

Thank you for any input!
