Microsoft Word - How to get Word to put docs from attachments into Recent files list

How to get Word to put docs from attachments into Recent files list

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:58 PM PDT

I often open Word files from attachments, without downloading it to my default directory. Just opening them up from the temp files directory into Word. occasionally I want to go back and view them, but they are not in the recent files list. Is there a way to get Word to put those files in the recent folders list, so I can still go back and open them up from within Word, w/o having to go into my email, and then search for them?

How can I correct an apparent shortcut or auto formatting issue?

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:32 PM PDT

Hello,

I am typing a cookbook of my mother's recipes as a Word document. I insert a quote mark  ["] for the number of minutes to bake an item. I inadvertently did something because now when I try to insert quote mark (Shift + ") it types something like << (except the arrows are very close together).

I have several separate Word documents open and it is only happening in one document. I assume it is an automatic formatting or shortcut issue but I cannot seem to find out how to disable it.

Thank you for any help. 

Word 2013 crashes every time I open it.

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:15 PM PDT

Whenever I try to open Word 2013 it says Word 2013 has stopped working. All other Office 2013 are working correctly and Office 2010 worked fine before I installed 2013.  I have uninstalled Office 2010, uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013.  I have removed Abby fine reader and do not have Toshiba book reader.  Also I don't have the bluetooth add on. Here's the event log:

Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4535.1000, time stamp: 0x51de6fa2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MS Word crashes every time I try to print

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 12:30 PM PDT

Every time I try to print a document in Microsoft Word, it crashes and I have to close the program down. I have ran a diagnostics (I tried this several times) but the problem is still unsolved. 

This problem doesn't seem to happen in other programs such as Excel. Now, when I have to print a document I have to save it as a pdf and then print it through Adobe Acrobat. 

Thanks. 

P.s. I am using Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007.

Path cannot be used for 'security reasons'

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 11:49 AM PDT

I have a networked drive (mapped to S:) where I keep most of my files.    I'm running Windows 7 and recently started using Word 2010.

I want to make my networked drive "trusted" so I don't have to "enable editing" on my Word files.     "Allow Trusted Locations on my network" is checked.   In the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog I've checked "Subfolders of this location are also trusted"     But regardless of whether I use the drive letter S:\  or the folder path, S:\SharedFiles, I still get the same error message - "the path you have entered cannot be used as a trusted location for security reasons. choose another location or a specific folder."  

What exactly does this mean?     I've seen all sorts of discussion on the web about this with people trying various folk-remedies like using UNC paths, editing the Registry, running word "as administrator", etc.   Some of them seem to work for some people and not others, or not work at all.    I'm sick of playing games -  where does Microsoft document these things?

Thanks in advance.

Constantly Not Responding

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT

My Microsoft Office, particularly Word, is constantly not responding and it doesn't seem to matter what I do.  From simple things like changing the font , inserting a symbol, or switching tabs to more complex things like switching the dictionary from English to Spanish while I'm typing.  In the past 5 minutes it has stalled out at least 10 times and it's getting way past the point of ridiculous.

Is there anything I can do to get it to work properly?

Opening existing blog posts not working

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 02:08 AM PDT

I am trying to use the blog posting feature of Word.
Posting to my Wordpress blog from Word works fine.
Using "Open Existing" from the Ribbon does not list any of my posts.
Post published from Word do not show up in its recent documents list.

Maybe this is the same bug as in LiveWriter.

Userform toolbox suddenly empty!

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 02:00 AM PDT

Baffling. Went to create a new userform and found the Toolbox consists of 2 tabs, labeled Page1 and Page2, both of them blank -- that is, devoid of controls.

Happens in all my existing .dotm templates, as well as in new ones I create.  I can copy controls from existing userforms, but not to the toolbox (circle-slash symbol appears when I try).

I don't recall ever seeing 2 "pages" in the Toolbox, and I'm sure I didn't add one.

It's not the templates: copying any of them to my other machine (identical Windows & Word versions) shows the full normal toolbox, and the (one) 'page' on it is labeled 'Controls.'

No problems with Excel userforms, only Word. No recent software changes. What went wrong?!  Userforms are my life....kind of.

Setting to avoid font from being bitmapped into PDF

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 06:52 PM PDT

Hello,

I am noticing that the font that I use in my word doc, CMU Serif and Espinosa Nova are bitmapped when saved to a PDF. I would like to know how to avoid this. When I turned off the "bitmap when font cant be embedded", the fonts showed up in a different font on my PDF. I also need it to not bitmap, so that the document will be searchable. Thanks!

How to construct a List of Tables which includes table description when APA 6th drops a line from the Table 1 before showing the label of the table -

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 05:36 PM PDT

Hello Microsoft Word users.

I am using APA 6th for my dissertation and I noticed that because APA 6th has the Table number and the table label on separate lines when I try to form a List of Tables by going to  References -> Insert Table of Figures -> Caption Label -> and complete the function all that comes up is

A list that  looks like this Table 1 ..................................... (6)

This is how APA 6th insists on Tables being labelled ...


Table 1
The Basic Emotions

Is there anyway that I can modify the Table of Figures function so it can actually include the label of the table when it forms its Table of Figures so the end product looks like this

Table 1 The Basic Emotions ............................(6)

It works fine when making a list of Figures - mostly because APA 6th does not insist on dropping a line after writing Figure 1.  so Word is works with picking up the full label.

For example Word automatically picks up this when it forms its list of figures

Figure 1. Percentage of response time for each Wellness Capacity ........................................................(10)



Any help would be most gratefully appreciated - I cannot be the only person who has come across the quirks of APA 6th Table labelling and trying to form a list of Tables in Microsoft!

Kind Regards
