Printing issue of Word 2013

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Hi everybody;
When I want to print my document or export it to a PDF file a strange problem occurs. In this state, the output is completely different from print layout view. For example the position of lines and so all page numbers is changed. In other word, the page e.g. 14 in output is different from page 14 in print layout view.

I am pretty sure that the printer paper size matches the Word document paper size and that in the backstage Print view, the "Scale to paper size" under the "1 Page Per Sheet" drop down is set to "No Scaling".

Page layout Settings:
Page Size: A4 (21 x 29.7 cm)
Margins- T: 3cm, R: 3cm, L:2.5cm, B:2.5 cm
Orientation: Portrait
Gutter Position: Right
Document view: Right to Left

System details:
OS: Windows 8 Enterprise x64 (updated)
Office: plus 2013 x64 (updated)
Writing language: Mixed (Persian and English)

Feature Request - MS Word - Add Automatic Save As Incremental Version

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 02:34 PM PDT

I have to say that I've lost more work through this MS Word 2013 SkyDrive integration than with any other version of Word in that past... and I've been using MS products since at least 1996. I'm seriously getting ready to discard Microsoft products and the PC environment altogether and cross over to Apple Macintosh.

 

My feature request is as follows:

 

Add an automatic Save As (incremental version number) feature to Word.

 

This means that if the feature is added and turned on, a separate file will be automatically created such as:

filename-v01.docx

filename-v02.docx

filename-v03.docx

 

And add a manual keyboard Save As Incremental Version Number command, too.

 

 

How do I turn on Manage Versions?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 02:18 PM PDT

I'm using MS Word 2013 through the Home Premium subscription.

How do I turn on Manage Versions?

Every time I search for a solution I only get results that talk about saving to previous versions of documents, or upgrading the software.

Lost Work - Word did not save locally or to SkyDrive

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 01:51 PM PDT

I'm using MS Word 2013 linked with SkyDrive.

 

During the last three hours I created and typed a new chapter, along with making several revisions to previous chapters. I have manually saved the document periodically, and Word is also set to automatically save every 10 minutes.

 

During this last save, something weird happened. The document reverted to the version from this morning -- which means at this time, all of my work performed today has become lost.

 

Is there a .tmp file somewhere that I might be able to recover my work from?

 

Thanks

how do I print Word 2010 to glossy photo paper

Gaps in shading occur with format change (Word 2010)

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 12:56 PM PDT

When I add shading to a series of paragraphs, a change in the formatting often creates a gap in the shading.  For example, if I add a border after the last paragraph, a white space appears between the last paragraph and the preceding paragraph.  Sometimes it also happens if the spacing between paragraphs in the shaded area is different.  These are both inconsistent occurrences but happen often enough it causes problems for me in writing.  I have compared instances where it occurs and where it doesn't and I can't find anything different between them that would cause it to happen.  This is a problem that my co-writer also experiences with her documents.

Any ideas?

Can I make a combo box or drop down list that will display numbers 0-10,000 without typing it in by hand?

Understanding Margins and Headers and Footers

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 12:08 PM PDT

Can someone give me a simple explanation as to how headers and footers interact with the top and bottom margins of a page e.g.

- it seems as though the header resides within the space allocated to the top margin?

I have just been doing "trial and error" to figure this out with varying results - I tried to find something that would explain this better.

I could provide more specifics but I actually think I just need to know the "rules" as to what applies to what and what happens if one overlaps another object (e.g. if a header grows larger than the margin, what happens)?

Microsoft Word track changes: same timestamp/date on every comment balloon?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 11:04 AM PDT

Hello. I am having an issue with track changes. I can work on a document that has 2 reviewers or up to 10+ reviewers. Sometimes I see that in comment balloons the timestamp/date is the same on every single one. I do not understand why this is happening. If anyone has run into this error before, please let me know if its a setting in Word that I need to unclick, etc.

I have just got Microsoft office 365 University. when I open word 2013 it connects to the internet. I don't want it to do that. can I stop it doing so? how?

Why won't word 365 open certain files?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 06:04 AM PDT

Hi Folks
I've been running Office 365 on my Windows 7 Asus EP121 slate for a few months now. Plenty of annoying issues with Outlook stopping Kaspersky but Office had been OK up until two days ago.
One of my regularly used files, my work letterhead (a .doc file), now causes Office to crash everytime I try to open it. I try to open it from Office, file manager and any other means available and now it just crashes. I checked and the same file opens on my old computer running Vista and office 2007 without problem.
Office 365 opens all the other .doc files but just not the letterhead.
I'm not computer savvy and tear my hair out wasting so much time with silly annoying computer issues. I wasted 2 hours today just figuring out that every letterhead would not open, I tried endless restarts and even a system restore but the only available date was yesterday (otherwise 9months ago) and that failed to restore for unknown reasons.
I should never have upgraded from 2007 to 365 as it's too bloated for the slate and weird problems started.
This is my work it's stopping me from doing.
Can anyone please help.

Issue with word crashing

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT

We have been having a sporadic issue happening for months on different PC's

These PC's are running Windows 7 (we have seen it on XP machines, but we don't have many of them and they are used differently.)

 

Here is the issue.

It appears this issue is caused from opening a document from an email. (Maybe certain documents that are causing the issue as it does not happen every time.)

Word will crash and close. Once this happens, if you try to open ANY document with Word, you see the window flash open and disappear.

 

This persists until the following happens to correct the issue.

Close all open Office products. Excel, Outlook, word, etc.

Kill the OPPSVC.exe process. (Or of course reboot the computer.)

 

This will allow you to open any word document. Once the document is open, you notice Document recovery is trying to recover, one or more documents. I really think the issue lies here. It appears to me Word is trying to recover a document (or at least prompt the user for this.), but is not being presented to the user. (Maybe a message box that cannot be seen.) 

 

 

While troubleshooting I have observed the following.

-Removing all Add-ins do not seen to help.

-The problem seems to be from opening Documents from Outlook. (That appears to be a common denominator.) Most of the time the Document from the Email opens fine, but after that trying to open another document, or some type of action in an open document triggers the issue.

-Some people see this issue more than others. I am not sure if it is certain documents (Maybe old document that have been "Upgraded". Or just documents with certain features.), or just that the users do things differently (maybe they don't edit the document opened in email, or don't use the same documents, or just don't open documents in this manner as much.)

 

Any Ideas?

 

 

Disable review pane for a number of pages

Table of Contents

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 04:26 AM PDT

When I click on  References, TOC and the dialog box appears it show "Auto 1" and "Auto 2" and neither one of them has Heading 1. I only want to use Headings 1, 2 and 3 and my document is correctly formatted with headings identified yet NONE of the 11 Chapter headings appear (they are all and the only text in Heading 1 style).  Free software can do it, so surely 2013 can? 

Table of Contents using \t

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 03:54 AM PDT

Hi

I have a document with many components - each component has 3 levels of headings and I've created tables of contents for those using \b and bookmarks, which work exactly as they should. I'm not trying to create a table of contents of each of these chapters.

I've created new quick styles for the chapter headings, and have created a ToC using \t. The table of contents is generated and the hyperlinks work - all appears as I'd like, but the hyperlinks are absolute or static links; whereas the rest of the ToC's are relative.

What I mean by that is when I mouse-over the \b ToC's, I see the usual "Current Document" tool-tip I would expect to see, and renaming the document or saving as PDF maintains this hyperlink. When I mouse-over the \t ToC, I see a tool-tip that reads "file:///c:\ etc.", pointing towards the file I'm working on. The link therefore works, provided I don't rename or move the file. It also maintains that specific link as a PDF, which is very problematic.

Please could you advise?

The following are examples of the switches I'm using:
{TOC \n \z \h \t "Section Heading,1,SubSection Heading,2,SHEQ Component,3"}
vs
{TOC \o "1-2" \h \z \u \b QMSManual}

Question

I have a word document on my desktop that I want to delete. However, every time I try to delete it, I receive a dialog box that says, "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Word (desktop)." The file is not open on my desktop or anything, so I'm not able to delete my word document file.

How to re-download Office Home & Student 2013

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 10:09 PM PDT

Before doing a Refresh, I'd like to be able to download Office Home & Student 2013. I'll save this file of course to an external HD. The reason I'd like to do that now is because I'm in an area for a few days with high(er) speed download speed. I just need the most simple way to do this, without burning to cd's etc.

I just need to download the file and save to MyPassport. Thanks!

How to re-download Office Home & Student 2013

I presently have Office Home & Student on my wife's laptop but am going to have to do an exciting Refresh. My question is, since I'm presently in an area where we have very fast high speed, is there a way for me to re-download the product so I can copy it over to an external HD and have it ready to put on the Laptop after the Refresh?

Office Web Apps are too slow in IE 9/10 but work great in Firefox on my system

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 08:09 PM PDT

I am on Windows 7 64-bit on an AMD quad core desktop, 4GB. I have recently started using Skydrive, but I found that the word app (later found it was all apps) was painfully slow to load, taking 45 seconds to a minute to open a new or existing document for editing. When it was open and I typed a word, it would take three seconds before the first letter appeared and then a letter would appear every second until the word was displayed, it is that slow. In task manager, iexplore.exe was at about 25% of CPU most of the time while trying to use the apps, system did not seem taxed.
This was first on IE 9 (32 and 64 bit versions). My office laptop is also Win 7 64 and IE 9 and I tried it there and it works beautifully. Fast and smooth.
For testing, I downloaded IE 10 but found it was the same issue.
To test further, I tried it with the latest version of Firefox. Strangely, it works perfectly on the Firefox browser! So that is my solution for now. I just wanted to know why I couldn't use it with IE on my system.
I know this should work well in IE, any suggestions of things to try? I tried IE in safe mode with "iexplore -extoff" to rule out conflicts but it didn't help.

Documents will not open in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 06:10 PM PDT

I have documents from MacMillian publishing that are support material for textbooks, that will not open on Word 2013. They all crash word 2013 on opening. 

I have spent hours on trying to solve this and have been unable too. MacMillian has been unable to fix this and because the documents work on Office 2007 and 2010, they have been not very responsive to trying to find a solution. 

Some staff members can open the documents while others on the same version and same installation of Word 2013 can not. 

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. 

I should mention that this is happening with all the resources associated with about 6 different textbooks which we have 300+ copies of each. So I really need a permanent solution.

Highlighting text to change to Italics, changes entire document.

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 04:10 PM PDT

When I highlight a short paragraph and change the font to Itallics, the entire document changes to Italics instead of just the highlighted portion.  The same thing happens when trying to change one paragraph to single space.  The entire document changes when I only want the highligted portion to change.

Lost Winword Files

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:59 PM PDT

I have a Windows 8 laptop with Word 2013 and have recently (four days ago) deleted two Winword 2013 files from my Documents folder in my libraries by sending them to Recycle Bin and then deleting them permanently from there as well. Now, I want them back. So, I wonder:

- Is it possible to recover them or have I destroyed them forever so that I should give up on them?
- If it is indeed possible, how does one do it?

My knowledge and understanding of computers is severely limited, so I am very perplexed by my problem. I am hoping someone will guide me to a solution. Presuming it's possible to recover the files because the computer doesn't erase erased files completely until it runs out of space (or so I gather), which is not the case with my laptop, I have no clue how to do it. I have made some futile attempts, though:

- I tried the searching device that one activates on the right side of the screen by holding the mouse in the top right corner and then typed in the names of the lost files in the search box, only to get no results.
- I read something about .asd files and temporary files on the Internet but have been unable to find any .asd files since I have no idea where they are supposed to be (so it is possible that they exist) and have only found useless temporary files (again, possibly because I didn't look in the correct folders within the temporary files folder, found the wrong temporary files folder or failed to recognize something as important because it was named with a weird series of numbers and letters or something such). Again, no success.
- I have read something about opening Task Manager, closing all Winword operations, and then opening Winword hoping to see some automatically recovered files, presumably the ones I have deleted, but I can't see anything from Winword running in the Task Manager and I don't see why there would be any automatically recovered files since the files I deleted were saved and unaltered until they were deleted.
- I have Command Prompt (CMD) and I know that it can be used for locating files, but I have no idea how to use it because one needs to know various commands by heart, all of which appear to me as gibberish made of letters and additional symbols. Perhaps if I knew what to type into Command Prompt, I could find the files, though perhaps there is now way to search for deleted files this way.
- I tried downloading Restoration to recover the files but I couldn't even work it. 
- Finally, I have downloaded Pandora Recovery based on some advice I have read on various forums. This has been my most successful attempt, but still fruitless. Pandora Recovery managed to locate the deleted files for me and I have extracted/recovered them to a USB in .doc form, i.e. having the file type "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document". For some reason, their names have been somewhat altered and I have found more files than I had or have erased. Namely, the two files I erased were called "A naplóm 1" and "A naplóm 2". I have so far found about twenty files called "J - A naplóm (###...)", where the hashtags represent an apparently arbitrary series of numbers. Presumably, there are twenty files because may previous versions of the files have also been recovered, which is probable, since the recovered files have similar sizes, differing by several KB. However, I can't open any of these files because Winword tells me the file type is unsupported. That makes no sense to me because the recovered files have the extension .doc and I definitely have a function WinWord 2013 to open such files with, as I easily verify when opening any of my other .doc files from my libraries. The files have been encrypted with a password, if that is of any significance, but I know the password and keep entering it. I intentionally put in a wrong password to see what would happen, and I got a prompt that the password was wrong and not that the file type was unsupported. Therefore, I don't think the encryption is of any signficance. I have tried to alternatively open these lost files using NotePad and TextPad, but both programs produced a long mess of letters, numbers and additional symbols, apparently completely arbitrary. Perhaps they are some sort of code which can be converted to the original letter text, but I have no idea if that could be so and how it could be converted if it is indeed a code. 

P.S. I have not tried to open every single recovered file and the program is still recovering files (there are apparently 4 hours remaining), so maybe one of them will actually open without any such problems. I don't think it likely, though.

P.P.S. Although I opened the files with Word 2013 on my laptop, the file type of the lost files was given as "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" because my laptop is new and most of my files on it come from my previous laptop, which was Windows XP and had Microsoft Office 2003. I convert all new files I create here to 2003 types as well so that there are no discrepancies and all the icons in the list look the same. I don't know if this is of any significance for recovering the files but I have added it just in case.

Thank you in advance
