Microsoft Word - Avery 5160 in Office 365

Microsoft Word - Avery 5160 in Office 365

Avery 5160 in Office 365

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 02:39 PM PDT

I am using Microsoft Word installed with Office 365, and am trying to create labels using Avery Templates. The current app does not have a template for 5160, and when I search for additional templates in the Office store it says "You already have this app". I am going to have to switch to another computer running an earlier version of Windows for now, but for later use, where do I find an Avery template for 5160.

Windows are becoming invisible when using Office 365.

I've noticed a disturbing trend. When I go to sleep on my computer, and then reboot it, or even when I've just been using it a long time and still have various windows open, even when I am not using them, something happens. I go to click open the window of the word document that is minimized, and nothing comes up. I go to check the preview images in the windows (multiple) and will see that most or all of the document windows are now transparent. It appears as though the only solution, that I've found, has been to shut down word entirely and try to open them up again. You can understand how this might be frustrating, especially  when you minimized the window to do some research and are still using the document with its new changes, and now you try to close it and you can't tell how to save, because the whole thing is transparent/invisible. Any advice?

Button in Word 2010 Documents that Returns Reader to Reference Link they Last Clicked

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 12:14 PM PDT

I am aware of the Back (WebGoBack) button that can be added to the Quick Access Menu. What I need is to create a button next to a figure that allows the reader to click the button and be returned to the last reference link they clicked that brought them to that figure.I would prefer it only require one click and that the button is labeled, "Return to Text".

Whatever method I use will have to be able to convert over and work in PDF versions too.

Thanks for your help,

Word Template Format for filling in fields

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:55 AM PDT

I am new to the whole template thing.  I need to set up a template that will be filled in over time.  The fields get completed as the client moves through the lifecycle.  How do I set up a template where when you go to fill in fields you see the whole template and can tab from field to field?  Right now when I open it, it only displays one field at a time, which will not work for this application.

help with word processor

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:41 AM PDT

Folks help:

 

Every computer I owned had the free word processor in it.  I just bought this computer which has windows 8 and I cannot find anywhere where I can type a letter.  I have no use for buying their Office Program.  I am 60 years old so there is no need for me to put out money for their program.  Can someone advise me as to where to find the free word processor? Thanks for your time and kind consideration.  Mary

When I highlight a section of a text to change color or size etc. for the particular highlighted section it changes the whole text

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:08 AM PDT

When I highlight a section of a text to change color or size etc. for the particular highlighted section it changes the whole text what I wanted only apply to the highlighted section.

By clicking the "Undo" it changes back the unwanted changes to the remaining text, but not always and all. For example if I change the color, the size and underline the highlighted text and it does to the whole text, when I hit the Undo button it still leave the whole text underlined.

Any suggestion would be appreciated to fix this!

Setting AND KEEPING proofing language in Word 2013

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:07 AM PDT

I use a lot of quotes from German, French, Latin and occasionally other languages in my book-length documents.  I love the fact that Word is very good at recognizing German and French, but it seems as soon as you move on to something else it forgets and the proofed foreign words show up with the red line under them.   It seems to happen in different situations, but I can figure it out. When I reformat, for example, the proofing language for German or French will move, so that English words are then underlined.  Is there a way to prevent this?

Double hyphens no longer turn into dashes

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:02 AM PDT

What happened to double dashes automatically turning into hyphens?  Is there a trick to make that happen in Word 2013? I see some dashes in my text, and I copy and paste them now where I want more, but there must be a better way!

Word 2013 pages missing

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:26 AM PDT

Hi,

I just bought office 365. It is installed on a laptop with Windows 7 (64bits, professional).

I have a working word document (currently of  186 pages) created with word 2008 mac. When I open this docx in either word 2007 or word 2008 (mac) or word 2010, everything is fine. 

The problem: When I open the docx in word 2013, only the first 13 pages can be worked on/seen. However, when I go to page preview, all pages can be seen. Moreover, all sections of the document can be seen in the navigation pane, but when I click on a section further than page 13, they can't be access. 

The document contains endnote references, a table of contents and normal text. 

Word 2013 doesn't send any error messages.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred

Unable to open a hyperlink for Powerpoint file in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Hello,

 

Hope someone can help me.  I have created a Word document 2010.  I inserted a hyperlink that should open a PowerPoint presentation file (.pptx).  When I click the link, it displayed a message window advising me the file can contain viruses...would you like to open this file?  When I click OK, it attempts to open the PowerPoint presentation file but then an error message comes up "Could not open file and give name of url'.  However, if I copy the URL and paste it into IE9 address bar, it opens PowerPoint presentation without any issues.  The file is hosted on our company Intranet website.  I also create hyperlinks within this Word document to go to certain websites and these links work fine.  Its just the PowerPoint link that cannot be launched.

 

Any guidance or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Automatic Numbering Of Equations in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:19 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am wondering if there is an option to automatically number equations in Word 2010. So basically everytime a new equation is inserted, Word will automatically generate a number for the equation based on the next available equation number

 

Thanks,

Trouble with template margins - need confirmation if doing correctly

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Hi all,

I am looking for a bit of "confirmation" here so I don't goof up a 2nd time - I just went through the updating of a company's few hundred templates in prep for them moving to a new letterhead.  Because of the sheer number of templates, I wrote a macro to open them all up and swap in the new header/footer text and to set the new margins.

The header has a lot of partners names (law firm) and so it takes up a lot of space (about 2").  So my snippet of code did this to every doc:

With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
   
    .TopMargin = InchesToPoints(2.05)
    .BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(1.6)
    .LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .HeaderDistance = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .FooterDistance = InchesToPoints(0.81)
    .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True

End with

We did the cutover last night.  Someone just brought me a sample of a 2 pg letter and they said "looks good - how come the 2nd page has so much white space at the top" (the 2nd page is different - it needs more like 1.5" to accomodate the logo without all the partners names).  Unfortunately, no one noticed this when I gave them sample printouts of the new templates.

Playing with the settings, it looks like what I should be doing is setting the .TopMargin to the minimum needed for all pages and then the first page header will "grow" up to the 2" it needs because it contains that much text?  Just want to confirm before I spend another whole evening (and their $$$) to convert all the templates again.

Note that they used to use Section Breaks set up by a previous IT guy and those caused lots of grief - so don't want to use them to set margins differently between the first and 2nd pages.

Thanks a lot for any advice/confirmations

Numbering problems

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 08:12 AM PDT

When I change a line of text to a numbered line, it will change the preceding line to numbered also. Using the undo once will change the preceding line back to plain text, but not the line I wanted to change to numbered originally. This is what I want, but why must I go through these extra steps to get it?

Missing Elements

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:18 AM PDT

Why are there styles and watermarks(along with numerous other things) that aren't in Office 2013 that were in 2010?  I need them for school and am getting very aggravated with Microsoft.  I just need someone to tell me how to either get a trial version of 2010 or import these elements.  I am desperate. 

Inserting Multi-line text field quick part from SharePoint Crashes Word

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

Title pretty much sums it up. Working on a doc template for a library, have a bunch of quick parts already inserted for various columns of the content type.
If I add a multi-line text field, it will crash Word. I've tried to see if it's the "unlimited length" switch in the column settings, but that had no effect. I tried inserting any of these fields into a plain blank doc, and it crashes Word as well, so I don't think it's a cumulative effect of adding a lot of fields from SharePoint to the doc. So...anyone know if this is a known issue or something?

Insering check boxes that can be checked with a click

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

I am trying to create a check box in Word that can be checked (marked with an x would be preferred) by simply clicking on the box.

I went to the Developer ribbon, and looked at the Control section. I see an icon for a checkbox, but it is greyed out. I have something that I can click on, that says something like "legacy controls." That will let me insert a check box, but I can't insert anything inside the box.

Using the instructions here (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/make-a-checklist-in-word-HA101833107.aspx), I can hover over the Check Box Content Control, but it is greyed out and nothing happens.

Suggestions?

Preview templates in word 2013

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:46 AM PDT

When you want to use a template in Word 2013 you can get a preview of the built-in templates. Is it possible to get a preview of the ones you create yourself?

Very slow response, then Program crashed

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:36 AM PDT

I was typing Avery address labels (the same ones I had worked on earlier in the week - 8162) and when I clicked the Print Preview button a message came on saying something about noncompatibility (I think).  At that point I probably clicked the wrong button between yes and no, and now I can't bring Word up at all.

Documents opened in Compatibility Mode become corrupted when saved back to older version.

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:57 AM PDT

Hello, 
I have a file sent to me that was created in an older version of Word.

It opens in Compatibility Mode and I can edit it, add comments, etc. 

However if I save it back to the older version of Word (pre DOCX format), with or without edits, it freezes/crashes Word when opened again and cannot be edited. 

If I save it as a DOCX  then I can open and edit it. But since I am collaborating with a user who uses an older version of Word this is not a option.

Why is Word breaking the file when saving back to the save version? 

Thanks!

Way to get Word to have 1.15 as the default for multiple spacing

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:19 AM PDT

I often like to use the Multiple spacing option in Word, and I like the 1.15 option. It's not nearly as crowded as 1.0, but still conserves space on the paper.

Is there a way to get 1.15 to be the default value for Mulitiple? Every time I set it to Multiple, the value is 3.0 and I have to change it manually.

I do have my default style set to 1.15, but I'd like this additional change as well.

Help with Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 12:42 AM PDT

I am trying to open my documents which were saved on Microsoft Word, but I cannot do this unless I buy or activate Microsoft Office 2010. I can open Microsoft Word and write documents, but when I save them and try to open them, I can only do so with Microsoft Office. I also can't choose Microsoft Word as a default program to open documents because it is not listed there. I just want
to save and open all my documents with Microsoft Word again. Thanks.

*Update: I restored my computer to a previous date, and I can now use Microsoft Word again. Does anyone know why I couldn't access it before? I don't understand. Thanks again.

VBA to add alternative text to table

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:03 PM PDT

VBA has an obvious way to add alt text to an image (shape):

    xShape.AlternativeText = "test"

I don't see a similar method for adding alt text to a table -- even though the relevant spot for this (a tab in the Table Properties dialog) looks much like the pre-2010 tab for alt text on an image.

Is there a property or method that does this?

Mail Merge If/Else Rules in Word

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 09:37 PM PDT

When I create an If/Else statement to insert a text word if a data field is blank or not blank I cannot control where Word places the text I want in the document. It places the text on top of text already in the document no where near where the field insertion point is. How do I control where the text is placed?

Cannot open files in Word or Excel

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 07:25 PM PDT

This is a recent problem. Never has happened before. When I try to open a file within Word or Excel, the folders show, but no files, even with the file type filter set to "All Files."  I can see drives and folders on the left side of the box, but no file list comes up in the main part of the box.  Sometimes I get the spinning-circle busy signal, and it just keeps cranking.  No problem opening files in the "Recent Documents" list. No problem opening files outside Word or Excel by double-clicking on the filename.  I have Office 2007 Enterprise with Windows 7 Home Premium.

TOC chaos

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 07:16 PM PDT

I just inserted a toc into my manuscript that has HEADING 1, HEADING 2, HEADING 3, AND NORMAL FONT.

 

I chose the style, and it went berserk on me. The HEADINGS (for the titles and subtitles) show up, but the "NORMAL" font I chose - much of that showed up too in the toc! I've tried updating it, and nothing seems to work. Please help!

Word Unilaterally Changing (Eliminates) My Normal Margins

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 05:32 PM PDT

Roughly once a year, when I try to create a new document, I find that Word has changed my margins and eliminated them, and I spazz around trying to reset them to normal; it occupies so much of my time; clicking on Normal Margins in Page Layout does not address it ; each time I go online trying to address the issue and waste time; this is so frustrating
