HOW TO USE AUTO NUMBERING

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 03:22 PM PDT

I'm trying to use auto numbering on a set of tickets.  the numbers must be the same on each stub and ticket, but change with each additional ticket and stub. 

its 3 tickets per page with stubs.

also the numbering must change in order with each page.  so if tickets 1, 2, and 3 are on one page ticket 4,5 and 6 should be on second. I have to do this for over 300 tickets.

 

For example:

ticket stub #1001 ticket #1001

ticket stub 1002 ticket #1002

etc.

etc.

numbers never repeating

 

 

 

can anyone please help

Ribbon disabled--cannot find normal.dotm

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 02:42 PM PDT

In Word 2010, only when "file"is selected is the cursor active. When I click on any other tab, such as "Home" the cursor freezes and I'm unable to do anything. Microsoft Support told me to delete normal.dotm--however, I cannot find it. This laptop I've had for about 45 days, running Windows 7 Prof.
64-bit--the Office Professional is 32-bit. In over three years with this software, I've not had this problem until I bought this computer installing my Office. As it stands now, Word 2010 is useless to me.

I would appreciate any and all help I can receive from the Community.

Fix/Lock cell sizes on official document

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 12:26 PM PDT

I have a new official document I need to fill out in bulk

I already have the data and want to mail merge to it to save time - to do that i need to merge the cells expecting written input to a single field for merge

I am not allowed to change/modify the document in any way other than the merged input

You can see that each time I merge these cells it causes the document to distort

I guess this is caused by the conflict of cell properties with regarding auto-fitting, etc

I am wondering whether its possible to select the whole document (4 pages) and fix/lock the cell dimension so they wont shift on merge

Any other solution greatly received


Notice simply merging the cells for the ULN or Learner Reference (top of page 1) causes the bottom page 1 + top of page 2 to become distorted

Mirror margins not working for a document with A3 and A4 pages

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 12:25 PM PDT

I have a document that has A3 landscape pages for the first two pages, then A4 portrait for the following pages. I have set mirror margins for the Whole Document. Top=.5  Bottom=.5  Left=1  Right=.5. Different Odd/Even and Different First Page. The mirror margins only works for the first two A3 pages. All of the A4 then have a 1 inch left margin. Any suggestions?

 

OK, I made it even more simple. I made every page US Letter size. Set mirror margins for the Whole Document. Top=.5  Bottom=.5  Left=1  Right=.5. Different Odd/Even and Different First Page.

 

Page 1, page break

page 2, Section break, Next Page

Page 3, page break

Page 4 page break

Page 5.

 

Then I set the first section as Landscape and set Top=.5  Bottom=.5  Left=1  Right=.5. It turns page 1 and page 2 and the mirror margins are correct for only the first 2 pages. All of the remaining pages then have a 1 inch left margin.

 

It also causes the margin settings to switch from

Top to Outside=.5

Bottom to Inside=.5   (I tried to change this to 1 inch but it changes the bottom margin.

Left=1 

Right=.5

Having problems retaining the natural dimensions of a photo in Word.

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 11:42 AM PDT

I am creating a template for a client to use in Word (publishing layout) and I am having trouble retaining the dimensions of photos when pasting them into shapes. 

Example: I have a square shape with rounded corners that a profile pic will go into. It's a newsletter so the profile pic will change every month and the client themselves will replace this image. If I place a photo that is portrait or landscape into this square the image stretches and fits itself into the square. Is there a way that I can place images into shapes and have them retain their natural dimensions and just crop off where the shape stops? 

The work around is to crop the photo into a square in photoshop and then place it into the shape with the same dimensions. This work around is fine for me to handle, but the client is going to have trouble doing this. 

So I need to be able to place any image no matter what shape into a square and have it retain its dimension and crop off at the sides. Otherwise I will have to abandon this idea all together. Very frustrating, I tried everything and image still stretches. Please help!

Office Word page numbers change when saved

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 10:10 AM PDT

I am having some difficulty with the page numbers in Office. I get the automatic numbers set in the header for a 5 page document, page 1 of 5, page 2 of 5, etc. Whenever I save the document, the numbers change to page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, etc. Then, as soon as I click in the regular page area, it reverts back to the regular count for a 5 page document. I am using this for formalized documents, and don't want to submit anything that looks inaccurate - however briefly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Office 2010 Waveform Theme

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 08:45 AM PDT

On exit available with content controls?

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 08:38 AM PDT

I have a form template that was created in Office 2003 using form fields in protected sections of the document.  One of the fields is a dropdown which drives the insertion of text in two other fields as well as a UserForm and MsgBox with Select Case macro.

 

I am migrating my engineering documents into 2010.  Depending on the type of form, I will be leaving the form fields and vb alone.  Others, because or requirements to use most of the functionality of Word, am migrating to content controls and read-only.

 

So far, in a test document, I am able to replicate the dropdowns, bookmarks and default text, however, one of the vb fields references an On Exit Macro.... is there a way to reference the macro so it pulls up the select case entries from the content control?  I have not been very successful in Googling a direct answer to this, if it can be done at all....

 

Clarification please?

defining a wrapped text (two-row text) as a choice in a combobox content control

I Want to Install Word 2000 Because I Paid for It!

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT

I have Office 2010. I found a Word 2000 installation disk I thought I had discarded when I bought 2010, and I tried to install it (not that it matters to anyone but me, but coincidentally thirteen years to the day after I purchased it at Office Max). So I own this software but can't install it due to an error code that references a "Q" drive and an error code 1327.

 

Googling "Why can't I install Word 2000," I have found multiple links referencing the need to disable Microsoft Office Live Toolbar. The proliferation of programs and "apps" and cloud-bloatware overwhelms. If someone can tell me 1) what Microsoft Office Live Toolbar even is; 2) if disabling it would indeed allow to install Word 2000 (which I paid for and own); and 3) why, if this is not the way to fix the installation error, a "Q" drive is referenced, I would appreciate hearing from anyone here. I would particular appreciate hearing from any one of the old faithful MVPs.

 

Thank you.

Matching Created and Last Modified times, but 75 mins editing time - how?

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 05:26 AM PDT

I'm examining a Word 2010 document and noted it has some odd metadata, which I cannot explain.

The Created date and time is exactly the same as the Last Modified date and time, but the document is being reported as edited for 75 minutes. How could this have happened? The Last Modified time is roughly when work on the document finished. If the document was saved with a new filename when work on it was finished, this would have created a new document which has matching Created and Last Modified time stamps, but the Total Editing Time would be zero.

Total Editing Time 75 minutes
Last Modified 01/08/13 15:35
Created 01/08/13 15:35

Does anyone know how the Total Editing Time is calculated which can explain this? Isn't Total Editing Time only recorded when you save. If you close a document without saving, it keeps the Editing time since the last save?

Multiple functions of macrobuttons

Posted: 02 Aug 2013 04:49 AM PDT

Hi Everyone,

I want to put a macrobutton into a Word Document that does 2 things. I want it to send the document via email and when it opens up Outlook I want it to populate with a set email. So the overall function would be that the user completes the form, presses the button, which opens up Outlook or other email with the Address inserted.

I've worked out how to get the button in the form using Ctrl+F9 and got the FileSendMail function working but how can I also get it to populate the address automatically. This is my first foray into macros so be gentle and assume I know nothing.

Many Thanks

Word 2007 Crashes When Running Macro in Legacy Template Once Saved as *.docm

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 11:40 PM PDT

Hi,

 

We have an enterprise version of Word 2007; in the Trust Centre it is not possible to change the Macro Settings.  The Macro Settings are fixed on Disable all macros with notification so we use Trusted Locations and the possibility of identifying a Trusted Publisher.

 

All of our documents are based upon standard Company Templates, these need to be compatible with legacy versions of Word so are in the format: *.dot

 

When our templates are opened in Word 2007 one of the macros runs automatically requesting the required Meta data: title, document number, author, etc. through a pop up window.  Once all the data is filled, this is used in the document as text or held in the custom properties.  We also have other macros to request a document number and so on.  In all previous versions of Word the macros work perfectly, with the enhanced security of Word 2007 the macros only work when the template is first opened.

 

Once the document is saved as a *.docm in a Trusted Location if it is re-opened any attempt to run the macro will crash Word 2007.

 

My colleague has administrator rights and has changed the Macro Settings from Disable all macros with notification to Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous can run code).

 

If i could enable all macros the problem would be solved.

 

 How can I stop Word 2007 crashing, I requested administrator rights and was refused, our central and off site support have only made the problem worse.

 

I keep requesting IT to enable the macros but am told that they cannot do this.

 

I am thinking of taking my entire work home and completing it on my MAC because your product is so easy to use on that platform.

 

Thank you

Cannot open .docx 'name in end tag of element must match element type at start' Please help!

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 10:56 PM PDT

I have read posts on this forum and saw that this problem can only be fixed by sending my document to one of the experts. Could I please do this? It is NOT a maths equation problem but I suspect comes from a superscript number I have placed in a text box before a word. I have tried FixIT and it doesn't solve the issue. Please help! I have spent many months writing and formatting this document.

How to recover Word 2013 documents on Surface RT

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:22 PM PDT

I saved a document on my Surface RT, but now I can't open it. I can see the name of the document under "Recently opened documents," but when I click on it a box pops up that's says, "Sorry we couldn't find _________, is it possible it was moved, renamed, or deleted?" I can't open it at all and I really want/need it open A.S.A.P.

entering text within an auto shape

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:12 PM PDT

I have microsoft office suite 2007 and I have a minor dilemma which is bugging me.  Which of the office suite programs is best for adding text to an auto shape?  Specifically I'm trying to enter text within a circle so that when I'm done with all the typing, the text follows the contour of the inside of the circle.  I can't get it to work in either Publisher or Word.  Anyone got any suggestions.  Thanks.

Office 2013 Clipart Issue with Roaming Profiles "Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues"

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 06:27 PM PDT

Having issues with Office 2013 and roaming profiles.

If you are the second user on a computer the local path for the WebCache does not exist.  We delete roaming profiles from the computer on log off.

For an in depth description see http://angrytechnician.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/office-2013-error-sorry-we-are-having-some-temporary-server-issues/#comment-5132

I've written a powershell script to band-aid the issue.  The script runs via gpo at logon. And deletes the Registry Key. When office opens the Subtree is rebuilt.

$base = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office15client.microsoft.com"
$key = Get-Item -Path $base

$subkeys = $key.GetSubKeyNames();

foreach($sub in $subkeys)
{
    $path = "$base\$sub"
    Remove-Item -Path $path -Recurse -Force   
}

I'd like to know if Microsoft knows about the issue and if there is a better fix or GPO policy to set the FilePath in the subkeys.

Edits disappear

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 04:26 PM PDT

We created a document in Word 2010 and saved it to the office server.  This morning, I made edits to the footer and a couple of other places, mostly things like correcting punctuation, etc.  The document was saved.   My boss saw that the edits had been made.  This afternoon, my boss re-opened the document and some of the edits I had made were gone, like they had never been made in the first place.

 

This is not the first time I have had trouble with this issue.  Several months ago, I made changes to a document, saved the document, and when I printed, my changes did not appear in the printout, although they were visible on the screen.  Fortunately, my supervisor saw the changes on my screen and that the changes did not appear on the printout.  We tried closing and re-opening the document, and the changes no longer even appeared on screen.

 

At a place I previously worked,  the same thing would happen.   I would edit documents and save them.  On a regular basis, the edits would appear on my screen, but when I printed the document, the edits would not appear on the printout.  (I was using Word 2007 at that office).  If I closed the document and re-opened it, my edits would be gone, even though I had saved them.  My supervisors would not believe me when I told them that I had made the changes and everything was correct on my screen before I printed the document.  Of course when I re-opened the documents to try to show them that I had made the changes, the changes would be gone.  I was fired from that job because of this glitch.  It is freaking me out to see it happening again.

Cannot change font in Word 2007

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 04:00 PM PDT

It's strange that such a basic thing is not working, but I cannot change the font type of selected text. When I do so using Home - Font and select a font type, after already having selected the document text to be changed, the selected text does not change, but remains in the former font.  The same thing happens when I just right click the selected text and then choose the font and click 'OK'.  Oddly also, I have not seen any other posts about this problem, though I'm sure others must encounter it.  What could be wrong here?
