Font in Style Does Not Equal Font in Document

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 12:27 PM PDT

In Word 2013, I create a Table-Text style I use for the standard text in a table cell. It is based on (no style), Is Helvetica Neue, 11 pt, black. This font is also my default font. When I apply the style to text in a table, the font that displays is Arial 10. I only have trouble w/the style in the table.

 

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but after hours of searching I haven't found it. What do I need to change so the font that displays is Helvetica Neue 11? Thanks.

Spell check window won't remember its position

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 11:33 AM PDT

Here's a weird one:

I have a user who likes the "old fashioned" spell check; that is a modal window that hovers over her document as it spell checks.
Word 2013's spell check starts in the sidebar by default, but you can drag it out.
I thought if you dragged it out, and closed word, and reopened word it was suppose to remember its position. But it keeps starting in the sidebar.
Any idea why this would be? And how to fix it?


 

Display paragraph of text based on value selected in combo (Word 2010)

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 10:00 AM PDT

Hi,

Problem #1
I need to display a standard paragraph of text based on value selected in combo in Word 2010.

So, say there 3 possible values selectable in the combo (good, bad, ugly), when the user selects one of these a paragraph of text needs to be automatically displayed below which corresponds to the value selected.
So far I've figured out that I could bookmark the answers but I'm not sure how to reference them based on the value in the combo, or display them.

Problem #2
In a more complex variation on the above, I need to display more "standard text" based on the value of two combo boxes. For example:

Level: 1,2,3,4
Type: A,B,C

When the user selects one of the combinations (say Level 1 with Type A), it references the answer from a table in word containing all the combinations of answers and then displays the text below the combo.

I plan to hide this table at the end of the document and just not print it when I'm creating the final customer-facing document.

Can anyone help me with either of these please ?.

TIA

My Word 2010 is formatting endnotes ref (hidden) with footnote ref formatting !

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 09:59 AM PDT

I get the blue underline of the endnote number with the request to "replace direct formatting" and then the Endnotes Reference flips over to the Footnote Reference formatting! I should add that this is my fault since I did click on the "replace" before I realized the problem - so I have a mix of footnote/endnote formatting on the endnote numbers As Endnote Reference formatting is hidden I cannot correct manually, and as I saved the work I cannot undo without undoing the work itself.

 

This seems like it should be an easy fix (just change the formatting on the endnote number) but I cannot get to it.

 

The actual click onto the endnote works just fine (which is odd considering I am also using footnotes, although letters rather than numbers).

 

Any brilliants out there? I am 1/10th of the way through an extensive project!

Printer defaults in starter 2010

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 09:46 AM PDT

Hi

I am having a problem with Starter 2010 printer defaults. I tried to change them in File > Print > Printer Properties, changed some settings and chose 'always print with current settings.' Now there is a loading symbol coming up which won't go away. I've tried shutting the document and reopening and it is there every time I open any word document.

What do I do to get it to go away.

I've tried restarting the printer as well that didn't work

Is there a generic driver for my HP Color LaserJet CP3505N somewhere?

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:49 AM PDT

I am having problems as I had to pruchase a new computer that took me from Windows XP to windows 7. Now HP does not make drivers for windows 7 and I am unable to cutsomize envelope sizes and print. How can I work around this. I have HP Color LaserJet CP3505N. Otherwise functions and it does not look like HP will create drivers for this. I cant afford a new printer just becaue drivers aren't updated!

 

IS there any way to work around this issue???

Deploying Word 2010 Macros in a Template with Ribbon Customisation

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:18 AM PDT

I would like to deploy Word 2010 macros to users in our department without requiring distribution by the IT department. From reading this forum I think I should be able to do this by adding the macros to a blank document and saving it as a macro enabled template (dotm) in the Word Startup directory.

 

To make these macros as easy as possible to run I would like to add an Icon to either the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) or the Home Ribbon. I can add an icon to either of these within Word but I cannot seem to get it to save and load with the template I created. I want to keep things simple and avoid having to explain to users in a series of instructions how to add the Icon to the QAT or Ribbon.

 

I have seen posts suggesting using a  *.officeUI  customisation tool.  I can't use this in my office environment, I have to use the in-built Word functionality.

 

My question is: Is it possible to add an icon to a ribbon or QAT using the functionality within Word and save it to a macro enabled template that loads on startup?

 

If it is possible can you explain how I should do this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

TOC

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 08:15 AM PDT

I'm working in Word 2010. Every time I try to build an automatic TOC the programme crashes.  Any help welcome! When the programme crashes, it repairs but I cannot install a TOC.. (Generally find TOC a nightmare: even the Microsoft accredited company here is not able to train in this!)

E-mail mailmerge in word 2010

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 06:08 AM PDT

Dear All,

 

I am trying to do an email mailmerge in Word2010.

Unfortunately, I am running into an issue with making edits in the idividual documents.

 

If I go through preview, and add information in the individual documents, it shows up in all documents.

 

If I go to finish & merge and click edit individual documents, the 164 seperate documents (that need to be sent by email), turn into one large connected word document, without any breaks between emails.

 

My question, how can I edit the individual documents for my email in mailmerge?

 

Many thanks for your help. If you know the answer you are a champ, because my IT support team didn't know and Microsoft will charge me €350 for it.

 

Cheers,

Erik

Unable to get help topics on Office 2010

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 01:46 AM PDT

When I press the Help button or F1 on some of my MS Office 2010 programs, I get a message saying: "There are no help topics available to match your request".  Additionally, if I try to access the help in Outlook, it starts the Configuration process.  I've gone through this ample times and each time it asks for a re-boot to complete but still the same problem.  I've even tried to do an Office repair but to no avail.  Can anyone help please.

 

I can get help from Excel 2010, but not from Access, Word, PowerPoint or Outlook.

 

Someone PLEASE help.

paste large tables from Excel to Word

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 12:07 AM PDT

Dear All,

I am pasting tables created in Excel into Word (all 2007 version).  I want the tables to be static and appear exactly as they do in Excel, so I have taken to pasting these as pictures.  I use MS Picture Manager as an intermediary.  I highlight my table in Excel, copy and then paste as a bitmap into Picture Manager.  I then copy-paste from Pic Manag into Word.  I often paste into a Word-created table so I can make captions that move with the pasted table.

My problem is this: when I paste in smaller tables, then the resolution of the tables is very good, they look about like I had created them in Word by hand by typing in text; however, if I paste in a large table then the resolution goes down, the text in the tables looks rather different than the text in the main body typed directly into Word and also the columns sometimes get "scrunched" together and the table inexplicably looks different (e.g. sometimes what looks like nicely separated columns with all number represented are now crowded and a few significant digits at the end chopped off).

The solution I would like:  how can I copy and paste largish tables (let's say 20 columns and 20 rows) into Word from Excel and have them look very nice (no change in table layout and crisp resolution)?

Thanks, S

inserting a blank un numbered page after cover sheet

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:21 PM PDT

Hello

I want to insert a blank page after my cover page that is not numbered. I am trying to format a manuscript. I must have a cover sheet, one page summary of novel, outline and then the entire book. Only the book is to be numbered not the first three pages. Not sure how to do this. I find it amazing how difficult it is to do something that should not be difficult.

How remove text effects from paragraph style?

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:00 PM PDT

I played around with the Text Effects options for one of my paragraph styles, and now I find that any page that uses that paragraph style is printed to PDF in a manner such that the text cannot be properly selected.  Attempting to select consecutive words in a line highlights what looks like a column of text; see image below. Pages without such paragraphs generate PDF that behaves in the conventional manner.

Comparing what I see when I hover the cursor over the name of the "bad" paragraph style with what I see when I hover it over "good" paragraph styles (i.e., those that cause no problem with the PDF) suggest that the problem is that the "bad" style has the Text Effects "Text Outline" and "Text Fill".  I've tried to turn these effects off via the [Style Name]>Modify...>Format>Text Effects... dialog, but setting "Text Fill" to "No fill" and "Text Outline" to "No line" doesn't have any effect.

The only thing I haven't tried is deleting the style and recreating it from scratch, which I really don't want to do, because the style is numbered, and there are dozens of cross references in the document that refer to paragraphs of this style. 

I just want to remove the text effects from this paragraph style. How can I do that?

Controling Microsoft word 2010 numbering and auto formatting

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 08:59 PM PDT

I am trying to do a Masters level paper with my new computer on my new word 2010 and I get all this weird readjustments and guessing by the software that is simply wrong. It numbers wrong, indents wrong, it spaces wrong and I cannot adjust this the way I want. Format painter wont fix this, paragraph and page adjustments just make it worse and now the software wants to right justify all the time.  How can I turn this auto stuff off. I can do formatting myself. The formatter simply does NOT WORK. The software is off, something is not right here. I know this because my once expensive word 2003 did not do this possessed guessing as to what I want to do next. I'm almost ready to dust off my old word 2003 and use it in place of this software if I cannot get this corrected. Thanks for any thoughts.  -J.

Microsoft 2010 - Ignore Grammar forever rule

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 03:06 PM PDT

Is there a way to have Microsoft Office 10 ignore a grammar rule forever? I am typing a document in which I am referring to a person, Autumn, but every time I write it, I get the green squiggly line, telling me that because autumn is a season, it shoudn't be capatilized. Is there a way to add to dictionary or ignore forever?
