Microsoft Word - unwanted language change in documents worked on by peopl in different countries

Microsoft Word - unwanted language change in documents worked on by peopl in different countries

unwanted language change in documents worked on by peopl in different countries

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 02:49 PM PDT

I have windows 8 and MS Office 2010.
I received a chapter that has some places that show English (UK) in the formatting pane.
I selected all and set the proofing language to English (US).  This is also the Windows language.

is there a way to locate and change all instances of English (UK) to English (US).

In other chapters there are places where small amounts of text will legitimately be  in other languages. Is there a way to search for all changes of language ? For example, an entry in the reference list will have an original title in another language.

Format Picture

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 01:18 PM PDT

Can you use the format picture fill gradient fill color in Word 2010 to change a image that is copied from the internet? It doesn't work, the only tool that works is the color under the adjustments tab. Is there a program that allows you to do this to format the picture or copy the outline then fill it in, for free?

 

Page number formating

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 01:14 PM PDT

Hi all,

I am about to start writing a document, and I need a specific format for the page numbers.  Basically, the format is "A - {Section} - {Page number}"

I know how to format the page number to display "{Section} - {Page}", but does anyone know if I can add the letter A to the beginning of the page number?  If so, how?  I don't want to just type the letter "A" in the footer, as I'd like it to also display when I generate the table of contents.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andrew.

Question about downloading Office 2010

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 12:07 PM PDT

So I've recently bought a new XPS 12 and bought a product key for Office 2010 with it as well. Now I'm considering returning my XPS 12 in exchange for an updated version with the new Haswell chips. Anyways I put in my Office 2010 product key in the day I turned this thing on, but did not download the program yet. I JUST put in the product key and went nowhere from there. My question is that once I return my XPS 12 back and get my new one, will I be able to download Office 2010 to the new one? 

Subscripting the registration mark

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 07:17 AM PDT

When I type (R) and it changes to the registration mark, it automatically supersripts it.  When I then change it to subsript it does not move below the name, but only to the mid position.  How do I get it to move below the name?  The same thing happens when I insert the registration mark from the symbols library.

How to disable word wrap or wrap to window in Word 2003?

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 06:24 AM PDT

Guess this is too simplistic a question to find an answer to in Word's hopelessly convoluted Help section.  
Please do not send Microsoft links.  They are impossible to interpret, horribly written and often have nothing to do with the topic covered.
Just tell me please where I go to disable auto wrapping of text to the window.  For instance in Notepad, its Format, Word Wrap.  Can't find anything remotely similar in Word 2003.  The reason?  I'm copying and pasting text from a PDF and right now the wrapping is shortening some lines that shouldn't be shortened.  I'm doing this so I can read PDF's on my small scree ebook reader (not a tablet but an ereader with an e-ink screen).  PDF's are always a headache on ereaders and inevitably present you microscropic sized text.  TXT files are wonderful with ereaders, plus they take up much less room and page turning is faster.  Obviously graphics won't be displayed.  Converting to TXT is the best way to read PDF's, if only you can do it without errors.  Right now I'm missing some spaces as they are not being copied when I Select All in Foxit's PDF reader.  If anyone knows how to copy the spaces in a PDF, please let us know.  It would be invaluable.  PDF"s are the largest source of knowledge online now and converting them properly in critical if one can't read them on a small ereader screen.  Even the Kindle DX's 9.7" screen is no good for many of them, even in landscape view.  You just have to copy the text.  Conversion using Calibre just brings missing lines and words.  Didn't work for me at all though I have little experience in this area.  

And what's with the "System and Device" choice on this page.  Vista is the most recent option for an OS.  What century was this page conceived I wonder?

How to enable a dictionary to lookup text on Office 2013

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 05:44 AM PDT

Hi everybody!

I have a problem when use Office 2013. I can't use some dictionary (like Babylon or Pablo Chinese Dictionary...)　to lookup text to translate it. It's still ok on Office 2010, but Office 2013 can't do that. I think that it maybe is a protection of Office 2013. Do anyone know the way to disable that protection or know the way to enable to lookup text? Please show me how to do! I'm using Windows 8 Pro x86.

Thank you very much!

Error! No Text of Specified Style in Document!

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 07:43 PM PDT

I've seen a few of these questions here, but my problem seems a bit different. I'm releasing a paperback book in a few days (and or course, one thing after another has started going wrong >.>), but I'm using the Chapter titles in the header, and the page numbers in the foot of my document. 

The Chapter titles show up fine in the actual word document, but when I upload the document to Createspace and preview it, all of the sudden that Error message shows up. I'm not very advanced when it comes to Word, so I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this problem. 

Any suggestions?

I uninstalled Word and Excel. How do I get them back?

What settings need to be changed (in the Trust center?) Currently there's a policy disallowing the insertion of a video clip into a docx.

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 03:55 PM PDT

Hi, I am trying to insert a video clip into the body of a word document but cannot. I get the message, "This object cannot be inserted due to your policy settings." Actually, I am the only person using the computer or Word or Excel and would like to be able to not be restricted. It's my personal  computer so I can change whatever settings need to be changed.

Thank you very much!

How to achieve single spacing

Posted: 24 Aug 2013 10:32 AM PDT

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.
