checkerboard patterned lines on page in Word2010 64 bit

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 02:47 PM PDT

All of a sudden my page displays a checkboard/line pattern on the whole page. it shows up on all documents I open or new documents I create.  it is not related to the content of the page, as I can select text on the page and it doesn't affect the strange line pattern.  I don't understand where this came from, showed up suddenly.  Is this some type of bug from an automatic update of the software?   What do I do to fix this?

Phantom text cursor

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:54 PM PDT

Using Office 2013 x64 on Win8, I see a phantom text cursor at times. Why/how to fix?
The typed text appears in the correct place. Just the blinker switches between correct and offsetted position, here-there.

"Lost" text in Office 2010 "web layout" view

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:05 PM PDT

For a few weeks now I've be noticing that in Web Layout view I have been 'losing' some text at the indicated page break line.  Here is 2 views of the same document. The only thing that has changed is that the first one is full screen and the other forced redraw because it was not full screen. The cursor was not moved, zoom level was not changed, only the document was "unstuck" from top of the screen which forced full screen view

<comment> Well, that sucks! Now I can't insert pictures. For some reason the "Upload" dialog only shows the heading and a blank 1 line space below it ...  FireFox 23.0.1  </comment>

<edit> OK, I logged in to IE and image upload works ... <sigh>, they are playing games again </edit>

<edit> <sigh> when I went to document not being able to upload images in FF, it now works. go figure </edit>

 

Note: in this first screen capture (app window not maximized to full screen) the body text goes from Point 12 to Heading 2 Item 4

 

 

This next screen capture shows exactly the same document at an indicated page break "jumping" from point 12 to several lines down into the Heading 2 body text, with no sign of the heading.


The images I was going to post show that without changing anything other that forcing a redraw, show that in one SEVERAL lines of body text are "lost" in the page break.

Cursor always flashing and loading

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 10:40 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Word Starter 2010 and my cursor seems to always be flashing and loading. But nothing is loading. It runes quick and smooth. But this cursor is really annoying. Word is the only program I have this problem with. Any suggestions?

Word 2010 Docx Missing - Windows 8

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 10:24 AM PDT

I'm been working on a 2010 word docx all day. I've been periodically saving my work in 'My Documents'. The docx was being a little strange asking if I wanted to rewrite it each time I clicked 'save' but it did appear to be saving. Because of this to be safe, I also saved the file under a different name at the end of the day, then I closed word.

Now when I open the original file none of today's work is saved. And the renamed file is present in the 'recent' list (also saved in My Documents) but when I click on it, it can't be found!

Have I lost a days work or is there a trick to getting it back?

Any help would be fantastic

Can not select mailmerge in tools

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 09:44 AM PDT

I have used mail merge hundreds of times to create labels. Just recently when I drop down the tools options, I click on mail merge, and nothing happens.
The rest of Word is functioning except the tool bar.
I tried the Detect and Repair.
Mail Merge is selected in the View / Toolbar selection.
I am using Windows 7.

I tried uninstalling Office 2003. I then used C Cleaner to tidy up the registry before re installing Office 2003.
Nothing changed.

Any ideas???

Thanks,

Dennis

How do I rid large gutters when they are set at 0 and "Multiple Pages" is set at "Normal"

Vertical scroll bar in Word 2013 does not work

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 08:19 AM PDT

In Word 2013, the vertical scroll bar does not work properly.  The problem occurs when you click on the arrows or try to drag.


For example: you move the onscreen arrow to the bottom of the vertical scroll bar and left-click.  The document scrolls down, as expected.  Wait ten seconds.  Left-click again.  The document should continue to scroll down, but nothing happens.  You have to move the arrow with the mouse or touch pad, at least slightly, to "wake up" the scroll function.

This happens to me with Office 2013, in a Windows 7 environment.  I had been using Office 2010, with Windows 7, for a long time, and never had this problem.

This has been posted before, as early as March 2013, but though the thread is marked "Answered" the problem has not been solved.  Other users have reported the problem as recently as yesterday.

How does one nest EQ fields? e.g. {eq \o(\s\up11({eq \o(¯,e)}),{eq \o(_,a)})}

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:42 AM PDT

Hi,

This nested eq field works correctly in word 2007, but produces an Error! in word 2013.

{eq \o(\s\up11({eq \o(¯,e)}),{eq \o(_,a)})}

 

Is the 'eq' field deprecated? if so, what will give the same functionality.

e.g.

Allow one or more characters to be overlaid one over the another &

Allow one or more of these composed characters to be printed/displayed one above the other as in a fraction but with no solidus.

 

Regards Julian.

cannot open word documents on new computer

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:57 AM PDT

I bought an Acer - it has windows 8 on it.  I have word 2013 and cannot open any of my older word documents.  I tried this:

  1. In Windows Explorer, make a copy of the file and use the Rename command to change its extension from .DOC to .DOCX. (Probably the recovery program was written before Microsoft invented the .DOCX extension, so it used the .DOC extension instead.) Try opening that file in Word 2013.
  2. In  Word 2013, go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Options > File Block Settings. Uncheck all the boxes in the Open column and click OK in each dialog. Then try to open the file.



NOTHING WORKS AND I AM GOING CRAZY!

Can I use BLOB images in a Word 2010 Mail merge?

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:28 AM PDT

BACKGROUND

I have an application which recovers signature images via a PDA as BLOB (Binary Large OBject) files and saves them to a database.

Later the application allows a Word Template document to be used to create one or more documents.

I can add VBA to the Word Template without the application getting grumpy.

There are no "hooks" into the applicatiuon which allow me to insert code / modify behaviour directly into the application. The application just populates a Word document from mailMerge fields.

 

THE PROBLEM

I need to insert the signature gained by the Engineer on his PDA into a Word document.

 

The field name (as available to Word's Mailmerge function) is "CallCustSignature".

 

When I insert the name into the document as a MailMerge field, I just get text, which presumably is Word's "best guess" at interpreting the data as text.

 

I can't find a way of telling Word that CallCustSignature is a BLOB image, and should therefore be displayed as an image.

 

As I have access to VBA during the "resolution" of the documant, I could probably write VBA to import the "image" from the database, if only I knew how! (I'm reasonably competent with VBA and VBS.)

 

Can any kind soul point me in the right direction?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

 

Word document protection.

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:06 AM PDT

Hi all,

 

How would I set up a word document so that it can be used but not over written.

 

I have a word document and its a form, it will be used a lot. I would like so it can be filled in but when they save it automatically makes them 'save as' keeping the original.

 

So when they click save it saves a new document and keeps the original un edited.

 

Does this make sense?

 

Thank you.

 

windows 8/windows live mail can send e-mail from MS Word

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 03:28 AM PDT

Hi

I have recently (much to my regret) had to upgrade to Windows 8.

Having just got used to Windows Live Mail, now I find I can't send mail from MS Word.

 

I want to send an MS Word 2007 document via e-mail.

When I click on "Send" the "e-mail" box is greyed out.

I used to be able to send like that using Windows 7, but as usual Microsoft have taken another giant leap backwards with their new Windows.

 

How can I get Windows Live Mail, MS Word and Windows 8 to talk to each other?

Conditional Content Control Dropdown List

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 03:03 AM PDT

Hi,

How to create conditional ContentControlDropdownList?

Eg: First list box will have names of companies, second list box will have bike names. Here bike names should be displayed based on selected company.

I tried a lot, and also searched online but no answers found for "ContentControlDropdownList" field.

The same can be achieved using "Legacy Form > Drop-Down" but I don't use it because I have to end-up restricting my self from editing other parts of word doc.

Password protect first page only in Word 2010

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:46 AM PDT

Hi,

I hope someone can assist me with this.

Recently we underwent a major internal document rebranding process and had to insert a logo in the bottom footer and top left corner of the header on the first page of each document. The graphic designers are the only people who may modify the branding, since they are the experts on the company's corporate identity.

We made templates for my company's academic department who has to create exam papers with questions and whatnot. We have to restrict editing of the header and footer on the first page ONLY, because the people who will be setting up the exam papers have to be able to insert their own footer from the 2nd page onwards. We're not using a header for the 2nd page onwards. We cannot put the 2nd page footer content outside the footer, because they will move things to undesirable locations.

So, 1st page header and footer must be locked. 2nd page footer must be editable.

How do I go about this? Is this even possible?

I tried to use continuous section breaks, but the 2nd page footers still stay locked after I specified which sections to protect and which to leave unprotected.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Word won't open downloaded .docx files.

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 12:12 AM PDT

I am using Office 365 and Windows 8.  When I try to open a downloaded .docx in Word, the Word logo pops up and loads forever.  It never actually opens the file.  The downloads I am trying to open are documents posted by my professors on an online campus called Canvas.  I can email the files to myself and then they open in Word just fine.  It's not the documents that's the problem, it's something with Word.

Is it possible to create a continous index in word 2010 using TOC?

Posted: 01 Sep 2013 08:43 PM PDT

Hi,

 

Is it possible to have continous index in Word 2010.

 

For e.g.

 

My data is as follows

 

Page No 2 :- ABC

Page No 3 :- ABC Contd..

Page No 4 :- ABC Contd..

 

After this I have applied the headings 1 style to above three. And when I create an Index using TOC the answer is as follows.

 

ABC..........................2

ABC contd.............3

ABC contd.............4

 

Instead of this I want :-

 

ABC...............2-4

 

Kindly help.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Microsoft Word 2013 Documents keep opening in Word Starter 2010

Posted: 01 Sep 2013 05:49 PM PDT

Hi,
I installed Office 2013 Home & Student earlier today. It worked fine until I saved a document and tried to re-open it only to find that the document opened in Word Starter 2010. I had Word Starter 2010 before Office 2013 and now all my Word 2013 documents open in Word Starter 2010 by default. I have tried setting my Office programs as the default programs but this appears to have no effect. I am not sure if uninstalling Word Starter 2010 will fix this but I am worried that I may lose all my documents if I do so. Also, Word Starter was part of Office Starter 2010 that also came with Excel Starter. What should I do?
