Deleting headers and footers on end matter pages while keeping them on the body text

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 12:07 PM PDT

Word 2010. I have separated my end matter pages from the body text of a book using a section break. But when I try to delete header and footer from end matter pages, they disappear from the body text also.

 

Any help specific to Word 2010 would be appreciated.

ole resizing after being saved in Word

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

In Excel, I size the information I want to put into Word via an OLE.  I set up the margins and do a print screen to verify the data lines up correctly within my margins.

 

After putting the data into Word (2007) via "Paste", "Paste Special", "paste link", "Microsoft Office Excel worksheet object" and saving it; when I reopen the Word file, my excel object has resized to something different than I put in there.  I want it to be 100% of what I created in Excel.  It resizes to something like 96 high and 107 wide.  (Margins in both Excel and Word are 1.)

 

It does not ALWAYS do this.  I can't figure out what is different that it sometimes keeps my sizing and sometimes changes it.

Word 2010 - Autocorrect Functionality - activation

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:25 AM PDT

In Word 2010, does anyone know what the specific actions are that activate Autocorrect? 

 

I know that typing the autociorrect shortcut name, and then hitting space will result in the autocorrect replacement, however I have several autocorrect items that must be followed by a hyphen ("-").  In this case, the autocorrect does not activate.  The alternative is to hit space > backspace > "-" > then resume typing.  This makes it more trouble to use than simply typing the long version.

 

Is there a way to customize this feature such that a hyphen would also trigger the autocorrect function?

Text won't justify in Word 2003

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 11:19 AM PDT

Most of the document is fine, but with several paragraphs, I can't change the alignment from Left to Justified.  The Justified icon at the top is highlighted, but the text is aligned Left.  I have tried to use the Format button to make the adjustment, but that doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

How to Permanently delete all traces of a document/file in Word

Does anyone know how I can delete all traces of a document/file in Office Word 2007.  I delete the file but it still shows in the list of documents but when I try to open it it says "file cannot be found".  This is most annoying!!  Any help/advice would be appreciated

.conflict extension

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 10:13 AM PDT

I am working on a 300-page document in Word 2013 and it keeps creating new versions of the doc with the extension .conflict. I have never come across this before and would like to know why it's doing this and what I can do to stop it. The doc was created from 10 separate docs; is it something to do with it coming from different people? I do this sort of thing all the time (I'm an editor and get material from different authors to create whole books) and have never had any trouble with doing this before.

 Many thanks

File recovered from Temporary Internet Files did not show saved changes.

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 10:07 AM PDT

I recovered a word document that I had accidently been saved to the 'Temporary Internet File' on my work PC.  However, the edits that I had made to that document did not appear.  The document was just found in the original condition that I had originally downloaded it as.  Is there anyway to recover my document with the changes that I had made to it?

Spacing of addresses

When I type an address at the start of a letter, when I press 'enter' I get a double spacing for the next line despite altering 'styles' and/or the paragraph spacing.
I would appreciate advice please.

Microsoft Word unable to open

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 09:18 AM PDT

My free trial of Microsoft Office expired and I purchased Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.  I am now encountering an error message, unable to open program on Microsoft Word, including a document that I saved to my desktop.  I am unable to fix in the control panel- not listed as an option.

merge fields inside merged fields

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 08:39 AM PDT

Hi,

Excuse my English, I hope you can understand me. 

Our system uses an Oracle Database. 
The documents are created in word 2003 and stored in the system.
This documents contains merged fields that are substituted with data from the data base. This is done perfectly.
The casuistic is so big/wide that I need to create many different word docs. 
If I could insert "the text_code that calls" the merge field inside the oracle data base, it would easy my duty. 

Example:

<doc star>
Long text here which differs depending on conditions 1 
{merge field} (always the same)
Long text here which differs depending on conditions 2
{merge filed 2} (always the same)
...
Long text here which differs depending on conditions N
{merge filed N} (always the same)
<doc end>

What I would like to do is to process the word document twice, on the first time the system will merge the content of the oracle in to the merge fields, which I want it to include another merge fields to be processed in a second time. 

I can do this now, but when I extract the text in the data base and write it in to the .doc file, is is not a merge field, it is plain text. Is there a way to include it as a new merge field?

Can this be done? If so, how? 

Thank you,
Fernando

Can I lock a frame ancher to a spot other than the beginning of a paragraph?

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:53 AM PDT

I am trying to keep an image and its figure caption together by inserting them in a frame. I am having trouble placing the frames in the document - word wants to keep the frame anchored to the beginning of a paragraph and nowhere else. This is fine if the frame is placed on the same page as the beginning of the frame. However, one of my paragraphs spans multiple pages. If I try to move the frame from the beginning of the paragraph (where word has anchored it) to the second page (where there are no paragraph breaks), word reverts the frame position to the beginning of the paragraph. How can I move the frame to a more appropriate position?

Any help would be appreciated!

Easier way to define a VBA array

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:36 AM PDT

I need to define a numeric array containing multiple copies of several values. Here's how I am doing it now:

Dim List As Variant
List = Array(V1, V1, V1, _
                 V2, _
                 V3, V3, V3, V3, V3, _
                 V4, V4)

Is there a shorthand way to do this using counts, maybe something like this:

Dim List As Variant
List = Array(V1(3), V2(1), V3(5), V4(3)

Thanks

Update Citations and Bibliography hangs (word 2007)

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:20 AM PDT

I have a large document in Word 2007, with approximately 900 citations.

Every time I attempt to "update citations & bibliography" it hangs.

I have run it in word safe mode. I have run the pc in safe mode. I have run it without backup, without autosave, without antivirus. I have disabled screensavers. I ran the office repair - no change. All to no avail. 

It takes several hours to fall over, and the couple of times I watched the winword process memory usage, i saw it fall over at about the same memory use - about 1.8Gb. This computer still shows only 60% memory used so it's not like it's running out of RAM/swap space. It's behaving like an internal coding hard-limit on memory allocation was reached.

All the event viewer shows me is:
Faulting application winword.exe, version 12.0.6668.5000, stamp 5083137f, faulting module mso.dll, version 12.0.6662.5000, stamp 4fd67dd1, debug? 0, fault address 0x00b12066.

  • Is anyone else having this issue?
  • Is this fixed in Word 2010 or 2013?
  • Does anyone have any suggested workarounds?
based on https://bibword.codeplex.com/discussions/83416 this may be due to the way XSL is loaded/unloaded for every citation. Does anyone know if this performance issue was fixed in office 2010 or 2013?

My project is dead until this is fixed.

Table problem

I am trying to add the word Continued to a table on all pages AFTER page 1 of a table and I cannot figure out how to do this.

Copy sheet range including graph to word allways includes link to graph

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 06:51 AM PDT

In older versions (ie 2007 and older) you could copy a range from excel including values and graphs to word. The result would be a word table in the format of excel and the graph represented as a bitmap.

Now (word 2010) the result is a word table in the format of excel (OK) and the graph as a graph object still linking to excel. In the paste dialog a specifically do not choose to link the content, but for a graph it still happens. This is not the behaviour I would expect and want.

I now go to edit links  (you have to manually add the button for this to the ribbon) and unlink all graphs. This is quite some work which I have to do directly after pasting, otherwise the data might allready have changed.

Copying the seperately is not an option in this case due to some elaborate formatting.

Is there an option to let word behave as it did prevously.

Hope to revieve an answer to this,

Regards,

Menl

How do I insert a single set of endnotes between the last chapter and the bibliography in a document with multiple sections?

Posted: 21 Aug 2013 09:34 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2010. I have a document. I divided it into multiple sections in order to have different headers in different sections. I want to insert my endnotes between the last chapter and the bibliography, as opposed to the end of each section, but I can't.

 

The default is putting the endnotes at the very end of the document, after the bibliography.

 

I went to the footnotes menu and opted for endnotes at the end of a section. Rather than beginning the endnotes on the next page, though, it spat them out immediately below the last line of the last chapter, before the bibliography.

 

I went back into the footnotes menu and applied the changes to the "whole document" rather than "this section," and it inserted the endnotes after the last line of each section.

 

What I want is to insert all endnotes in a separate section between the last page of the last chapter and the first page of the bibliography. I don't want the endnotes to start on the last page of the last section. I want the reader to finish the last chapter, turn the page and find the endnotes.

 

ALTERNATIVELY, is there a different way to manage headers without having to split the manuscript into multiple sections?

 

I know it's a complicated problem, so thanks for reading my note, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

 

 

Page numbers are wrong after I add table of contents

Posted: 21 Aug 2013 08:05 PM PDT

I wrote my book and then added a footer with page numbers. I then entered the table of contents.  The first page of the book (I thought) would be 1 but the table of contents starts at 1, so that all pages after that are incorrect.  The table of contents shows page 1 and the first page of the book shows page 3. I can't seem to get it into sync.

not getting an option to save a new document in Word 2007 or Excel

Posted: 21 Aug 2013 06:24 PM PDT

I can save changes to an existing document in Word 2007 and Excel but if I create a new document and click on Save or Save As nothing happens. Even when exiting the new document when asked if I want to save - I select Yes but nothing happens.
There have been automatic Windows updates that seem to affected my system.  I restored my system to 28/7/13 and everything is working fine, but as soon as the automatic windows updates run (13 of them) the problem returns.
I have run Word in safe mode and the problem still exists.
I restarted normally and checked the add-ins under Word options and these are the only addin running
abby abby finereader 9.0sprint MSword (com addin) 
Finereader Lite.word tmplt. (template) and 
Person Name Outlook (Smart tag)

the only addin running in Excel is abby abby finereader 9.0sprint MSword (com addin) 

I tried to uncheck the box on both applications but it would not allow me to do it - said only administrator could - as far as I know I have administrator rights.

 Is it possible that this finereader is new or has been changed in the recent Windows Updates?

I would be very grateful for any assistance. thanks in anticipation
