Microsoft Word - convert footnote to inline citation

Microsoft Word - convert footnote to inline citation

convert footnote to inline citation

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:33 PM PDT

I am looking for an efficient way to convert numbered footnotes from Word files to numbered inline citation.

I have tried using a macro (like the one here: http://bit.ly/16ZMr4t) to convert to inline citations.

One problem however:

1) In the macro suggested in the link, the footnote number is not preserved - a problem when one footnote refers by number to previous footnotes.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Can't open any of my Word documents

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:30 PM PDT

Every time I try to open a Microsoft word file a message pops up telling me that WinWord.Exe is busy for possible upgrade or helping me add or remove files (which I do not have any messages about this)?

 

How can I fix this problem and open my word documents.

 

I have a 2013 Office product.

Normal.dotm and other saving issues in word 2007

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:01 PM PDT

When opening Word, getting an error message "Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere. (Normal.dotm)"  I have deleted the old file so it can be recreated. It worked briefly and I am now having the same issue. I have checked my task manager to see if WINWORD.exe is running. It is. It ALWAYS is. I can close it but as soon as I open another word doc and close that one I get the same error.  The issue is constant. Every document every day.  I also get the error "word cannot save this file because it is open in another location" No documents are open, no documents are in recovery, no one else is even in the office to access any other computer and no one else in my office is having this issue. I've done every single stupid work around and delete/restore that I can find. I'm hoping for a solution so please don't tell me to delete normal.dotm and restore it, that is merely a temporary fix, I really need something that stops it from happening in the first place.

Unable to save .doc file format to .docx

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:34 PM PDT

Hello,

I have merged multiple documents into one file (.doc).  I now would like to save this file to .docx, however, I am unable to do so.  I tried to turn off Track Changes, but is unable to save the file in .docx.  I can save the file to another name but ONLY with .doc format.  When I go to File > SAVE AS, it brings up the Save As window.  I enter the name such as pablo.docx; type as Word Document (*.docx) and when I clicked the SAVE button, it says 'A file error has occurred'.

I tried to copy the entire document and pasted to a new Word (.docx) file and I run into the same problem when saving to .docx.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Mail Merge using ODBC data source

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:26 PM PDT

I want to do a mail merge using data accessed using odbc. When I select my source, I see a list of the tables in my database that looks like this:

 

 

When I pick the JCCost table, I can use all the fields from that table. However, I also need to use a "Vendor Name" field which is not stored in the JCCost table, but in a related table. The VendorID field in the JCCost table ties to a record in the APVendor table. Is there any way I can read related tables from within the Mail Merge function without having to create some kind of a View in the data itself?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mail merge with conditional criteria

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:19 PM PDT

I have spent literally hours trying to get to square one without success. I can write some reasonably complicated formula's in Excel, but apparently that skill does not transfer to Word, at least not for me. Below is a table in Word with the data in Excel below it.

The formula below works as it pulls the employee name associated with Rel (relation) "EE" (Employee).

I copied the formula to the next block below with SP in the row and it pulls Ward again so I am thinking it is ok to copy the formula and it still works. I edit the formula from EE to SP (Spouse) but it does not pull June. Nor does it pull Wally when I change to CH (child). What's weird is I can delete everything (done it a hundred times) build it again but with SP and it pulls Jane. It's like a vlookup, hits the first match and quits.

If I can get past this hurdle, I will attempt a more complicated formula to pull in the name in the appropriate box based on the Rel column and if it matches the corresponding CVG.

Any help to get me going in the right direction is appreciated. I am hoping to avoid having to pay for the answer, but time is getting short so I may have to find someone willing to do that.

{IF {MERGEFIELD Rel} = "EE" {MERGEFIELD Name} ""}

Document content not appearing after opening as 'read only'

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 12:34 PM PDT

My CFO gets prompted to open documents as 'Read Only' when she's received them as attachments. 

I recently upgraded her system (clean install of everything on new hardware) using identical software; the primary difference between her old system and new is that I applied SP2 for Office on her new system.
System: HP Elitebook Folio, Win7Pro SP1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Office 2010 w/SP2; the graphics rendering engine is the Intel HD4000. All firmware and drivers are up-to-date.

PROBLEM:
When she gets prompted to open as read only and she clicks to open it, a Word window opens for the document but no content is displayed; its title displays above the Menu, I can right click and get context menus, but no content is displayed.

I can get the content to display if I select the 'View' tab and then choose 'New Window'.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

How do I get "==>" to automatically create an arrow?

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 11:02 AM PDT

I recently had a client crash and this used to work on my client machine. When I type "==>" it automatically was changing to  è

How can I get that to work within Microsoft Word 2010? I believe it's within the Auto-Correct Options...I'm just not sure where.

Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

How to end a hyperlink in word?

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 10:40 AM PDT

A word doc with a hyperlink in it. How do you tell word you're done with making/editing links?
Be it me adding a link by copy/paste the URL into the document, and Word nicely makes it into a link for me. Or me going back to edit a link later.
Once the cursor is at the end of the link that's made, if i press enter to start a new paragraph, or i press shift +enter to start a new line after the link in the same paragraph.
Word keeps making the next line more of the same link from the previous line, no matter how many times i press enter. i could press enter till i get to the 7th page with 6 blanks ones between me and the end of the link and the moment i start typing it's still apart of that link.

 I do not want to turn off automatic link making, i just want to know how to tell word, Ok i'm all done with that link, thank you for your help in making it, we can go back to just writing more plain text now please.

Dark pictures in ODT document from LibreOffice

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 10:21 AM PDT

I'm trying out the Office 365 product and am potentially looking to buy a subscription because I'm fed up of LibreOffice keep freezing.

I've got a big .odt document that was written in LibreOffice that contains many pictures. When I open this document in Word, most of the formatting is fine, but all the pictures appear darkened. Any idea why this is? The pictures are all colour and embedded in the document. I can save in Word and re-open in LibreOffice and the pictures then show up just fine. I can also re-import a picture from the same file and it shows up just fine.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

Converting a template that opens in Compatibility Mode to 2013 jumbles table layout

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 09:57 AM PDT

When I open the Business Newsletter Microsoft template, and Use Convert to upgrade it, the template is totally jumbled. Why does this happen when tables are involved and what can be done to resolve this?
I tried opening it first in Word 2010 and converted it there and saved it--no problem; then if I open it in Word 2013, it opens screwy once again.

Anchor text box within template so it doesn't move as surrounding text is added

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:27 AM PDT

I'm using a modified version of Microsoft's Elementary school newsletter. It includes a sidebar, which seems to be a text box with a table structure within it. When I type text, the sidebar that was originally on page 2 jumps to page 3. I can squirrel around and cut and  paste it back where it belongs, but I know this will be too much for the users to deal with. How do I make the second sidebar on page 2 "stick"? Here's a link to the template files in question. http://sdrv.ms/12sA5kM  Thanks in advance!

section 2 headers appears on the cover page

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 05:35 AM PDT

I have created a cover page with the "insert cover page" button.

I have created 2 sections.  There is one page in each section. The second section begins on a new page.

I have created a header for section 1, do not repeat on the first page so it doesn't appear on the cover page. That works.

Then I create a header for section 2.  I click not to have in link to the previous.  When I save the header for section 2, it updates the header in section 1 and even on the cover page.  I have tried it many times.  I show hidden characters and I do see header for section 1, header for section 2 etc.

Any suggestions how I can end up with no header on the cover page, and Header 1 section remain as I first set it up, and NOT have it take on the section 2 header.
Thanks
Carol

Problem with page-up; in two-page view, pages start switching from left to right, then page-up stops working, get caught in a loop

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 04:55 AM PDT

In the two-page view mode, around pages 10-11 in a multi-page document [more than 150 pages],  when I page-up the pages switch from odd-on-left to odd-on-right, and then, soon, page up stops working. first it starts to act like arrow-up, and then I get caught in a loop and get nowhere.

This happened after I added some sections for meta-data before the start of the document itself. To do this I had to first delete the TOC, create five or six next-page section breaks, and recreate the TOC.

This happened in an earlier long document, but then the phenomenon went away.  I can't figure out what is causing it or what I might have done to fix it in the other document.

Optimising Normal Template across multiple users

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:34 AM PDT

Hi there

I work for a small company (6 core staff) and am producing various template forms and reports or us all to use. We're using Office 2013 and the templates are produced mainly in Word, but also in Excel. We all work remotely from each other and share files via dropbox. 

I have created a Word template form, which includes a Building Block Gallery Content Control. This content control includes images of everyone's e-signatures and is saved in the normal template (rather than Building Bolcks(en-US), which was the other available option). I tested my form on a colleague's machine and found that all content controls worked (date, rich text, drop down list) except the Building Block Gallery Content Control with e-signatures. I was able to solve this issue by replacing my colleague's normal template with mine. 

This is not optimal as I don't know what content my other colleagues have in their normal templates and, thus, what would be lost should they replace theirs with my normal template. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Ideally, I would like to have a central template (perhaps in dropbox) to which all of our shared forms and other documents would refer. Is this possible? Having one central place for our shared templates would provide me with only one place to make global updates and stop me from copying over useful content in my colleagues' other normal templates.

Also, I've never really been able to fully get my head around normal templates. Does anyone have link to a great explanation of this? I seem to remember the option (at least with styles) to save to the normal template or to save the styles with the document itself. I don't think I've come across this option for the content controls with which I'm working at present. Perhaps I've overlooked something.

Many thanks in advance,
Lesley

Turn off unwanted features in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:31 AM PDT

When I type (a) Some text... and press return Word drops and INDENTS a line and adds (b) because it assumes I am doing a lettered list!  I am quite capable of selecting a numbered List or lettered list from the appropriate ribbon.  Also when I type (c) it changes it to a copyright symbol!  I am quite capable of selecting a copyright symbol or Euro or anything else when I want them. 

I have tried looking on Options/Advanced and every where I can to turn off as much as I can where Word tries to help me!  Can anyone help me so i can turn off these unwanted in my case features. 

In effect I prefer Word to be more like an advanced typewriter where I choose what I want to do and not find it making decisions/guesses on my behalf!

Any help gratefully received.

footnotes text orientation in Hebrew based Word

I use the Hebrew based Word 2010, but write in English (and have left-to-right orientation in my main text). However, when I insert a footnote it starts from right to left. I can change every footnote, but can't find a way to make them to have left to right orientation from the beginning.

Automatic subscripting not working right

I created a few formatted autocorrect entries to change the numbers to subscript in chemical formulas such as those for water and CO2. However, if I forget and do the subscripts manually for those that I've added the autocorrect entries for as soon as I hit the spacebar instead of doing nothing it changes the whole formula to subscript which I then have to change back

Symbols I didn't use appearing in recent symbols list

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 04:20 PM PDT

I don't normally use Times New Roman for anything but I had a couple of reports for uni that had to be done in that font. I had to insert a few symbols in that font which as expected appeared in the recent symbols list. However, there are now a whole bunch of symbols that I know I didn't use such as the yen, pound an euro signs, a few mathematical operators and the trademark symbol. They are all in times new Roman.
