Microsoft Word - Insert Hyperlink Default Browser

Microsoft Word - Insert Hyperlink Default Browser

Insert Hyperlink Default Browser

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 01:19 PM PDT

When I select "Insert Hyperlink" in Word 2010 and select the "Browse the Web" button to select an address, Google Chrome pops up instead of IE 10.

 

I'm sure this happened when I installed Chrome for testing web pages in multiple browsers, but I want to use IE 10 inside Word to select hyperlink addresses.

 

YES ... I have selected IE as my default browser in Control Panel for all apps.

 

I've seen this question asked in a number of forums. Nobody has answered it yet.

 

Microsoft!!! Google is beating your time because they provide better support. They replaced your browser and nobody on your team seems to know how to reverse it in your own products!!

This may be a second post of same question but I'm new to this community and just learning. How can I prevent a document from double spacing lines when apparently all settings for single spacing are correct.

What are the chances of editing being enabled in Read Mode?

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 08:52 AM PDT

I use Word almost exclusively for writing long documents of plain text. In Word 2010 editing in Read Mode worked great for me. Now I find this feature has been removed. I can't be the only one who misses it.

 

So ... any thoughts on whether it will be brought back?

.docx is locked for editing

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 06:48 AM PDT

Every time I open an existing .docx document it opens the file but it also wants to opens a new word doc with the message "file in use", .docx is locked for editing by ...

I just cancel and close this and go to the orginal document and could work on it but that second page is annoying.

Thank you.

unable to print from office 365 home premium

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 12:45 AM PDT

I created a document in word and also one in excel.  I cannot get either of them to print.  I have a HP 1600 printer that I use with my laptop and was able to print with it until I bought MS Office 365 HP.  I'm starting to regret as I have a meeting tomorrow at 10 a.m. and it is now 3 a.m. and I still can't get my documents to print that I need for the meeting.

How do I create a vertical textbox in Word 2013? I googled this question but the returns were all about earlier versions that don't apply to the new interface.

MS Word EPS support (Word 2013 for Win vs Word 2011 for Mac)

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:11 PM PDT

I have some eps files created by a program on my Mac. Those files look immaculate when inserted into Word 2011 for Mac. Those same files look absolutely TERRIBLE when inserted into Word 2013 for PC. Why? It is SO frustrating that the two programs do not function more similarly. Is there any better eps filter I can install for Windows Word?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide. 

Word Web App Crashes when opening SkyDrive Docs on iPad

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 07:18 PM PDT

THE SITUATION:

I have an Office 365 Home Premium subscription, which allows me to access the Web apps, and my documents are on SkyDrive.

 

THE PROBLEM:

 

From a browser on my iPad, I can access my SkyDrive files (skydrive.live.com).  However, when I try to open one of the documents from that location, Word Web App opens with the document for a couple seconds, and then "crashes." (Word Web app and the browser close, and I am returned to the iPad's home screen.)  Some of these documents were originally created from MS Word 2013 on a Windows 7 laptop, and other documents were created in a Word Web app from the same laptop.

 

The app and browser also crash when I try to create a new document from the SkyDrive page in my browser on the ipad.  (ipad...Browser...Skydrive.live.com....Create....Word document....Crash). 

 

WHAT IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:

The problem is not with the browser, as I have tried multiple browsers that are compatible with the ipad. 

The problem is not with the account, as the same thing happens from other accounts.

The problem is not with a particular document, or the app which created it, as I have tried many documents that were created in various apps and environments. (See above.)

 

 

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM:

It appears that the problem has to do with the iPad, AND SkyDrive AND the Word Web App.  There is apparently a problem in the way they are interfacing.  

 

(I know this because, when I do the same thing from my Windows 7 laptop, everything works perfectly, so this points to the iPad.   Yet when I open any other online document (from Dropbox, GoogleDrive, etc.) on my iPad, everything works perfectly again, so this points to SkyDrive and the WebApp..)

 

WHAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED:

I have already tried a hard reboot of the iPad. In fact I have completely restored it to factory settings.  Although the iPad is first-generation, it is completely up-to-date, and running the latest OS (5.1.1).  As mentioned above, I have tried different browsers, different documents, and different accounts.

 

THE SOLUTION????

 

If you have a proposed solution, I would really appreciate it.

 

Caveat: Please respond to this issue only if you have a suggestion that might actually solve the problem.  Furthermore, experience with iPads, SkyDrive and the Word Web App, would seem to be necessary in order to make a constructive suggestion.  (On another forum, responders suggested multi-day experiments that provided no new data and had no real chance of solving the problem.  It was all very interesting, but I can only afford to spend more time on ideas that might work.)

 

THANK-YOU!!

My computer wont let me open any documents even though I have Office 2010 installed. Please help

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 04:19 PM PDT

I have an office 8 computer and i am trying to open an email from my coach. When I right-click it and select open an error message comes up saying "Something Went Wrong  We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again.   If it won't start, try repairing Office from 'Programs and Features' in the Control Panel." It also displays the Office 2013 Symbol. I don't know where I can find the "Control Panel" or if that is even the right thing to do. Someone please help me soon!  (this is the message)

Word 2007 unbolds the letters before it when I use a formatted autocorrect that is bold

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 04:02 PM PDT

When I type a letter in outline format i.e. A) which is bold and then use a formatted autocorrect, it unbolds the A). How do I fix this?  

A)   "insert formated autocorrect" 

As soon as I put in the autocorrect, the A) gets unbolded and I have to go back and rebold it.
