Hyperlink in Word 2010 doc I created won't go to the web page

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 03:13 PM PDT

The hyperlink I inserted in Word 2010 doc does not open the website when I click.  I sent the doc to an associate who was able to click on the link and get to the website.  I sent it to myself, and all I get when I click on the hyperlink is an error message.  When I click on HELP in the error window, the message has nothing to do with hyperlinks!  I am new to creating hyperlinks and totally in the dark!

Word 2013 not available to all profiles

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 02:52 PM PDT

I have installed a purchased copy of Office 2013. I am able to launch and use Word 2013 when logged on with my profile. Other users on the same pc are able to launch Word 2013, but are unable to create or open existing Word documents (.doc or .docx). It doesn't throw an error, simply goes away and displays that Word has encountered an error. Users only recourse is to acknowledge the error, which then throws them out of Word.

Difficulty Opening Microsoft Documents from e-mail/internet source

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 01:22 PM PDT

I recently got a new computer  (Windows 8) that came with a 4 year Microsoft Office University full package. Unfortunately, whenever I attempt to open a word, powerpoint, excel or any sort of document from an e-mail or internet source, Microsoft office attempts to open the file and then freezes at the opening screen (i.e. small blue box that says Microsoft Word). I've tried looking at settings to see if there is some sort of "open download attachments" box but I just can't seem to find anything. I'm fairly computer savvy, so I've tried all combinations of "save as" "open with" etc. HELP!!!

Mail merge adds a blank line - only when address1 and address2 are non-bLANK

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 12:49 PM PDT

Word 2007 Mail Merge from Outlook 2007 adds a blank line after address2 when it (ADDRESS2) is not blank but suppresses blank lines when adress2 is blank.

 

 I am using paragraphs to end all lines between fields.

 

The blank line only appears when there are two address lines and it is placed after address2 and the next line which is city, state and ZIP

 

I am merging from Outlook 2007 - contacts list which creates a temporary input database.

importing a text file and changing a list from letters to numbers

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 10:56 AM PDT

I have a text file I created originally in Notepad, that I later opened in Word to use the spell check. It contains a list of ideas that I posted to an online forum and e-mail list similar to Usenet (a Yahoo Group set to strip attachments) that does not allow HTML or BBCode.
I originally used letters to number the list, but it has grown to 37 items. I started using numbers after the Z with number 27.

Is there an easy way to get Word to automatically change the A-Z into 1-26? Then it needs to be saved as a plain text file again.
I used this format, with hitting ENTER twice between items to leave a line in between. Some are nested items

A.) item 1, might take up an entire paragraph

B.) item 2 blah blah blah takes up sevearl lines, hit ENTER at the end and start the sub-items.
         I. subitem 1
         II. Subitem 2. Tabs are used for these
         III. subitem 3

C.) item 3
...
Z.) Item 4

27.) item 27

28.) item 28
...
37.) last item at the time of writing.


Oh, this is posted in Office 2003, but I have Office 2007 available (and though I hate it, Office 97 if I reboot my oldest computer into Windows 98SE instead of XP). I just like Office 2003 better than the ribbon interface.

How do I change settings so that I can have a numbered list with a bullet list after when I press tab? l

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 10:40 AM PDT

hey all

I use word for school notes, and I like to sometimes use a numbered list then notes under each numbered item with bullets.  On my other computer, I just press enter then tab, but when I do this on my new one, it just gives me a tabbed space.  This is what it looks like 

1.      Asdf

2.     Adsf

3.     Asdf


and I want it to look like this: (this is from my old computer)


1.       Maussian Approach

           a.      The body as a spiritually charged gift

           b.      Cannibalism and ancestor consumption

           c.      When we give a gift, a part of our soul is given along with that

2.      Marxian Approaches

            a.      The body as a source of capital or value.  Is labor or knowledge a part of our body? of capital or value.  Is labor or knowledge a part of our body?? 


I've been playing around with it forever and I'm sure it's a simple fix but I can't find it.


thanks all!!

Please help- remove header from page 2

Hi, I am having a hard time figuring this out.

 

I have a header on the first page of my document.  I do not want a header on the 2nd page.  When I try to edit or remove the header on Page 2, it removes the text content, however, it still leaves the blank space for the header.  How do I get rid of this?

 

Please help! TIA

text boxes

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 08:41 AM PDT

I have created a document in Word with text boxes so that I can easily type through and fill in the boxes as needed (I will be filling out this form about 20 times a day so I need it to be easy to tab through). I figured out how to tab through the text boxes (hitting Esc when I am done typing and the pressing tab). The problem is that when I tab over to the next box it goes to the last box on the next line instead of the first box on the next line. I have all the boxes in the order I want them in the selections and visibility box it does not affect where the cursor tabs to. I even started all over and made sure I created the boxes in the same order I wanted to be able to tab through them. I would love to be able to fill out my form in the order that makes sense not the backwards order it seems to be defaulting to. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Bracket Chart Borders

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 08:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm wishing to create bracketed chart borders, or something similar to them. However, I cannot figure out how to do this within Word. Currently, I have four separate image files to represent this, but if I could eliminate the need for images, that would be ideal. 

Any ideas? The concept of what I'm trying to attempt is here: http://cl.ly/image/3y332l1r0r33

Linked Excel 2010 graphs randomly break links or degrade in image quality

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 07:55 AM PDT

I am working on a Word 2010 document that has multiple graphs that are linked to several different Excel 2010 files. The document is prone to crashing and the links will randomly break. In addition, updating them often causes the image to reduce in quality. The link is still active, but the text and lines within the chart are blurry, as if it were pasted as a picture (windows metafile).

 

The issue is random in that some graphs that are from the same excel file (and even the same tab within the file) will break their links or become distorted, while others will not. Once a graph degards in quality, I can't get the original quality back. I have to delete the graph and re-paste a new linked graph.

 

If anyone has encountered this problem, or has a potential solution, I would greatly appreciate. I have a lot of graphs in the document that I have to update on a quarterly basis and this issue can be very time consuming.

 

 

Thank you very much,

 

Ben

Can't access online content like pictures and templates from office.com

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 07:40 AM PDT

Our school recently installed Office 2013.  Now most of us cannot get any online pictures or online templates for Word, etc.  We get a message that we do not have internet connectivity, even though we are able to access the internet otherwise.  Our internet connection is fine.  Is this an issue with our firewall?  Is it how permissions were set up on our server?

Can you give me some ideas how we can begin to fix this?  This you.

Issue with macros on the ribbon in word 2010

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 06:24 AM PDT

HI

I am having a problem running macros from the ribbon is Word 2010. I have a custom menu that was created in Word 2003. I installed Word 2007 and then upgraded to Word 2010. On the Add In's tab, the menu name is listed but it is greyed out and I have not been able to find a way to make it active. As a work around, I modified the ribbon by adding a new tab and then added my macros to the tab so that they show up on the ribbon. The problem is that when I select a macro from the ribbon it always runs the same macro no matter what one I had selected to run. If I go to the Organizer and add a macro from Normal to Document 1 then that macro will run when selected from the ribbon but if I add more macros to Document 1 from Normal then I have the same problem of the same macro being run no matter what one I selected to run. I have set the Trust Center setting for macros to enable all macros.

Spinning my wheels at this point and would appreciate any help that can be provided.

Thanks

page numbers to include chapter without using heading styles

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 06:23 AM PDT

I am using Word 2010 for a desk guide and all headings 1-9 are in use. Heading 1 is a Roman numeral. I used another style that is not a heading style for the chapter name and title.

I want to include the chapter number with the page number but cannot use Microsoft's page numbering format to include chapter because it is a Roman numeral I that begins each chapter. I want it to be an alphanumeric number like this 1-1, 2-1 (chapter 2), etc. Is there a field code I can use in the page number to give me this desired result?

How to get to get more filter options for ClipArt in Word 2013?

Free Microsoft Office Word alternatives.

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 06:22 AM PDT

Hi. I have Microsoft Office Word 2007 Home and Student edition on my PC. I bought the disc from Software4students some years ago. 
I tried to install the program on my new laptop, using the disc and the product key. But the product key was rejected as being incorrect.
 I take it that I am not going to be able to use the disk.
 My question is: are free Word 2007 alternatives worth trying? With the laptop I just need to be able to type documents, so basic word processing is all that I have in mind.
 Thanks in advance,
Laurence

To insert a chart, you must first close any open dialog boxes or cancel editing in Microsoft Excel.

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 05:51 AM PDT

I get the following message when I try to create a chart in Microsoft Word 2010:
To insert a chart, you must first close any open dialog boxes or cancel editing in Microsoft Excel.

I click "OK" and the following message appears:
Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Select a different chart type.
I have tried many different types.

Merged label spacing is improper for some labels

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 05:24 AM PDT

We are performing a merge to create folder labels.  Each label has four lines and some intermediary lines can be blank on some labels, but not others.  Where there are blanks, we want to preserve the blank lines so that the same information always falls on the same line of the label.  The last line, however, is never blank and should always appear in the same place on the label (must match a score line).

 

THE PROBLEM:  We have noticed that the last line of the label varies its position depending on if some of the above lines are blank or not.  When none of the label lines are blank, the last line is raised up higher than on other labels with blank lines.  Each line is in a specific font.  As we cursor through both resulting labels (with or without blank lines), the fonts and line breaks for each line appear to be fine.  We have even programmed the merge to insert a space on a blank line, in the event the lack of a character is triggering the problem.

 

SECONDARY QUESTION:  We would also like to know how to determine the exact baseline (or even line) position of each line of text on the label.  This would help us verify that the information is exactly where it needs to be and would help troubleshoot spacing problems. Other programs list the line position in the status bar as you move line to line, but we don't see where to find this information in Word 2010?

 

Our labels require very specific line spacing in order to fit properly on both the interior folder and in the clear window of the companion hanging file folder.   We have considered using an 'Advance' code, but are really curious to find out why the line spacing is improper on some labels, when all the formatting appears to be okay on all the resulting labels.

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Cannot easily edit merge codes in label merge document

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 04:50 AM PDT

How do we scroll through the label merge commands when the content exceeds the height of the label?

 

We have label merge forms where the merge commands and fields (displayed using ALT-F9) exceed the height of the label.  When we arrow down through the code, to the bottom, it does not scroll the code in the cell.  The cursor appears to move from line to line (out of sight) and eventually jumps to the next table cell.  Since the content of the cell does not scroll, we cannot see or edit the code.

 

As a work-around we change the first label (table row) height so that it is no longer fixed.  In this case, the cell height expands so we can see and edit our code.  Afterwards, we reset the first row height to continue the merge.  Obviously, this alternative is awkward and time consuming.  Why can't we scroll through the content of the cell when editing the code?

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Microsoft Office Starter: How Long Can I Use It???

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 04:39 AM PDT

I bought a Dell computer a couple of years ago that has  Microsoft Office Starter installed. I ran some Microsoft updates the other day, and now almost all of my Word and Excel documents have been rendered useless. I can't open them, I get a prompt saying that I have to buy MS Office for $99.99 a year. Is this REALLY my only option? I need to send Word documents on a regular basis, if I send the ones that I have (now listed as .docx files) will they still be received as Word documents?

Word documents locked up

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 03:57 AM PDT

My Wordstarter documents are locked by Microsoft in an apparent attempt to force me to buy their latest Word product.  I must have access to those files nearly every day.  I had no warning Microsoft would lock documents I created.  This is extraordinarily sleazy behavior by Microsoft and quite unlikely to inspire me to buy any Microsoft products again.

Sincerely,

When I save a Word Document as PDF, there is a Shadow Font (grey) behind Arabic text

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 02:14 AM PDT

I was using Windows Vista and Office 2007 for creating documents that contained both English and Arabic Text.
I saved these docs in PDF mode and then uploaded them to ScribD.
I had no problems.

Recently, I changed to Windows 7 and Office 2010, now when I save these documents as PDF, I see no problem, but when they are uploaded to Scrib D, I find that there is a sort of grey shadow Arabic Letters, behind the Arabic text.

What should I do?
Whilst saving the document in PDF format I even experimented with the few options. 
But then the problem persisted.
I even selected the option (Under PDF options) 'ISO 19005 - 1 Compliant'
No change.
What should I do?

Inserting a text box

Posted: 17 Sep 2013 02:00 AM PDT

I have created a cover page for my doc and applied an ornate border from the 'Word' borders available. I am trying to insert a text box so I can show the doc title on this page but as soon as I try, the right-hand side of the border (ie top half, side half and bottom half) disappears. In addition, the text box keeps appearing above or below the border. The symbol which appears when I click on the border is a four-direction arrow symbol. No doubt this is the key but I need help - can anyone out there assist?

How to use Datepicker Value to create filename? Split Month/Year

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 09:19 PM PDT

MS Word 2010 Template

Team meeting template with [Save] Button control

Purpose: Save Team meeting minutes to folder based on Year/Month of meeting.

Datepicker Tag = "meetingday"

 

The following code works to save document to specified folder with meeting date in title (long form).

 

Private Sub CommandButton501_Click()

 

If ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("meetingday").Item(1).Range.Text = "Click here to enter a date." Then

 MsgBox "You didn't select a date"

Else

 

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\Team Meetings\Team Meeting Minutes " & ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("meetingday").Range.Text & ".doc"

 

End If

 

End Sub

 

Now to specify the Folder "Year" then "Month"

 

 

Private Sub CommandButton501_Click()

Dim Month As String

Dim Year As String

 

 

If ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("meetingday").Item(1).Range.Text = "Click here to enter a date." Then

 MsgBox "You didn't select a date"

Else

 

 

Month = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("meetingday ").Item(1).Range.Text

Month = Format(Month, "MMMM")

 

Year = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("meetingday ").Item(1).Range.Text

Year = Format(Year, "yyyy")

  

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="C:\Team Meetings\"&Year&"\"&Month&"\Team Meeting Minutes " & ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("meetingday").Range.Text & ".doc"

 

 

End If

 

 

End Sub

 

Doesn't work !

 

I presume it's the way I'm calling for the Datepicker value using: ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("meetingday").Item(1).Range.Text

 

If I just use todays date:

Month = Format(Date, "MMMM")

Year = Format(Date, "yyyy")

It works.

 

Help please ?

Subdocument Heading Numbers

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 07:24 PM PDT

Hi,

I am having trouble with the heading numbering of subdocuments linked to a master document. My master is broken into 10 subdocuments; each document is an individual chapter. I built a custom style for the chapter headings that included a custom numbering scheme.

In the master document the chapter heading numbering works fine (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4...) but when an individual subdocument is opened the heading numbering defaults to 1. This is causing problems as there is no constant numbering as i am trying to edit.

Is there a way to have the heading numbering remain the same in the subdocuments as it is in the master? additionally can this be done for the page numbering so that the page numbers in the subdocument are the same as in the master?

Thanks for your help.
