I have a problem with citations not holding iin the current list when I close the document.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 03:18 PM PDT

Hi

 

When I am working with Citations and I enter new citations they are held in the Master List but when I close my document and reopen to continue working, the citations are lost from the current list and in the document they are now static text only. This only started happening yesterday and I can't recall having done anything to make this happen.

Do you have any suggestions?

Cannot open DOCX. files in Microsoft Office 2010 Starter

Inserting a Word file that is more than 1 page long.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:16 PM PDT

I have a word file into which I insert another word file.  The one which is inserted is way more than a page long.  When I try to print the whole thing, (The file which receives the other one), it just prints the first page.

 

Both files are the result of a word merge.  I want to dynamically insert the one into the other and then have the result.  Is there a way for it to show more than one page?

 


Thanks.

Word 2007. Figure does not appear in list of figures

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:39 PM PDT

I inserted a figure (Jpg file) in a document and, when I created the caption, the caption appeared in a 'box' located at the bottom of the figure.  The box with the caption is resizable and can be moved around the page that contains the figure.  The problem is that the figure does not appear in the table of figures at the beginning of the document (after updating) and does not appear in the figure reference list.  This is the only figure in the document that is giving this problem.  All other figures have a normal caption that is not included in a box at the bottom of the figure.  Please note that, when I turn on the formatting symbols, a strange symbol that looks like a sea anchor is shown below the figure. 

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Thanks

Windows Office (Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.) Erroneous Autocomplete of "Baha'i" to "Baha'I"

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:35 PM PDT

Hey guys I'm Baha'i and all Office apps have butchered the autocomplete since I've been alive to "Baha'I" -- could you fix that? @Office referred me here. The conversation went thus:

I need to know how to PERMANENTLY Adjust list indents to anything other than .25" number position & .05" text indents on my lists.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:28 PM PDT

I am a fairly savvy Word user. I know how to adjust list indent in my numbered or bulleted lists. My problem is when I use numbered or bulleted list it always reverts to a number position of .25, & a text indent of 0.5" in my list. As I said, I know how to go in and change this by right-clicking, the number or bullet, scrolling to 'adjust list indents' and setting the applicable spaces. This works fine for this list but I have same problem on next one. Is there a way to do permanent setting?

Microsft word has disappeared

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 12:41 PM PDT

I saw the the Icons next to word files changed from Word Icons to Orange square Icons. When I clicked one of the files, it says my microsoft office is not installed. But I could still open the files from WORD.  So I looked up question in this community and someone answered with possible solution with this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464297. So I followed the Method 2 because I had three microsoft installed and they were MICOROSOFT OFFICE 2010, MICROSOFT OFFICE CLICK TO RUN, MICROSOFT OFFICE - ENGLISH. So I followed the instruction and uninstalled CLICK TO RUN and restarted computer. when I open to Change or repair MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010 as instructed, I couldn't see any option to change/repair. All i could do with it was to uninstall. Also, at this point I found out MICROSOFT - ENGLISH was gone. 
The Orange square Icons were still there so I clicked one file to open and now it says "this file is missing or corrupted" 
And now my microsoft word program is totally gone from my system. Even the desktop icon looks weird. I tried to click the Microsoft office 2010 and it wants me to enter the product key which I don't have. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get my office programs back? I have windows 7 by the way.

Word stops responding when I paste a pic from the internet and hit save

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 10:41 AM PDT

I used to be able to copy a picture of a puzzle from the Internet, paste it into a Word doc (Word 2007) and save it. I did it hundreds of times with no problems ever. Then I got a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 and Word 2013. Now when I paste a pic from the Internet and hit save, it says "Microsoft Word is not responding". I've waited as long a 15 minutes and it still does not respond. I have to go through the Task Manager to shut Word down. I have saved hundreds of these puzzles in the past and I am following the exact same procedure I always used, but Word stops responding every time upon trying to save the document. Any idea on why it worked in Word 2007 but not in Word 2013?

Multilevel list is adding text indent after row 9 of level 2

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 08:41 AM PDT

I have tried this on Office 2010, 2013 and Office for Mac 2011 and all of them do this.

When I create a multilevel list, level 1 can have as many records as you need without adding any unwanted extra text indents.  Level 2 of the list will add an extra indent after the ninth record in the list.  This seems to only happen with the 1.1 style list.

To reproduce,

Open a new blank document.

Add a new multilevel list using the 1.1. style list.

Type anything in the first level and press enter.

Indent to level 2 and type anything.

Repeat adding lines to level 2 until you get to the 10th line.  There you will see the extra text indent.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I shut down my computer to install "updates" as the computer listed 4 updates needed.  When I restarted the computer NONE of my word documents will open and I  get an error message telling me that they are missing or corrupted files and also says to contact the manufacturer.  These were files I used earlier today.  They are ALL of the word documents - doc or docx= they all have an orange box next to them that was not there before the updates. 

What do I do?

If I removed Office 2007, and added 2010, do I still need 2007 Updates?

Problem with Hidden text that includes Headings, text and tables with images, in word 2010

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:49 AM PDT

I am writing a manual for a client's new product, and I need to hide part of the content because this bit is still in development. They need field trial documentation for a customer who doesn't need that option.

The content I want to hide begins with a Heading at Level 2 , then some Normal style text, some level 3 headings, and a few 2-column tables with images in the left hand column, and text in the right hand column. It spans 4 pages.

I know how I should hide the text, namely to select the content that I want to hide, and then Ctrl+D to bring up the Font dialog, and then select Hidden, and click OK. This hides it just fine.

But if I want to view and edit this hidden content using Ctrl+*, all the hidden content appears, but the tables are squashed into a table on the left about one character wide per column, one character per row, and the hidden content now spans 28 pages. This is impossible to work with, and I cannot adjust the column width.

The only remedy is to select each cell of the table and Ctrl+D etc to unhide the text cell by cell. If I try to select a complete table and unhide it, it only unhides one cell.

 

I had hoped that I could go into Outline View at Level 2, select the heading and then just hide that, but I get the same problem.

 

Any idea what's going wrong? Help!

Hi, is it possible to remove or hide the users name that appears in all Office 2013 programs? It's not appropriate to show such information when working in a school.

 

Thanks,

word 2003 document open slowly in word 2010

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:29 AM PDT

Since our corporate updated to Word 2010 from Word 2003 existing documents are very slow to load.

 

The problem appears to be Word is searching for a template that doesn't exist:  I see a "Contacting: \\....\Template WP" message as Word is loading that stays for several seconds.  Once that disappears the document opens.  These are all documents created with Word 98 to Word 2003.  My newer documents created with either default template or my custom template and saved as .docx open quickly.  Resaving the .doc docments as .docx does not change the opening "Contacting:" message.  Checking for the slow documents templates in option menus show "Normal" as the setting.

 

Any clue how I can keep these documents from wasting time looking for a template discarded on the dustbin of my corporate history?

External bluetooth keyboard not working on Word / Office for android

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 05:06 AM PDT

I recently bought Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth Keyboard to use with my office 365 subscription on my android smartphone (Nexus 4). While the keyboard works fine with Google Docs, I was surprised to discover that the external keyboard is not supported by "word" for android or for that matter any other Microsoft office application for android (except Outlook).

 

I am a writer and its sad that I am unable to work on my documents on SkyDrive. I discovered through other posts that the external keyboard functionality was working fine until a July 2013 android update screwed it up.

 

Microsoft, you should work this on priority. People are finally buying your office 365 product for their android smartphones and this bluetooth keyboard issue can be a big hindrance in my decision to continue with the subscription.

apply template to existing document

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 04:31 AM PDT

Hi,

I created a template and placed it in Custom Office Templates folder. Then I opened an existing document, selected the Developer tab, clicked Document Template, selected my custom template, and clicked Attach. Nothing happened to my document. The template contained an image on the cover page and a water mark on the other pages, so I expected them to appear in my existing document. Did I something wrong?

"Keep Text Only" paste option does not work in Office (Word) 2013

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 04:01 AM PDT

After setting up default paste options to paste only the text in both Word 2010 and Word 2013, Word 2010 does the job perfectly while Word 2013 keeps the source formatting. 

The following thread pertains only to Word 2010 and is unhelpful.

I also have not found anyone with this issue in Word 2013. I have reinstalled Office to no avail. 

This would be a huge time saver for me if it worked. What to do Microsoft, what to do?

Word 2010 closes unexpectedly when use copy command

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 03:41 AM PDT

I recently installed Office 2010 after uninstalling Office 2003. 

- Since installation I am having problems with Word 2010 closing unexpectedly when I use the copy command in that program and in other programs.  - It occasionally closes when I open Windows Explorer also when I am working in Word 2010. 

- I use word files in compatability mode as I work from another computer with Word 2003. 

- Have tried registry cleaner, repair of Word 2010 and reinstall.  Problem still present.

- Happens almost every time I use copy command but sometimes is OK for the first few times I use that command.

Thanks for any advice on this.

In the process of creating a customized docx file, I have selected "Limit formatting to selection of styles" and selected the styles only which should be used.

Similarly, how do I restrict SmartArt color themes?

Windows update making me buy windows 10

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 07:15 PM PDT

Hi

 

Tonight after a windows update, all my word documents have turned orange and when I click on them it asks me to buy office 10 or try the free month trial. I have been using word 2002 for a while now and Im doing a big project for uni and want to stick with that for now. Is there anyway I can stay with word 2002?

 

Why has this update happened? Is it normal to try to update the type of office version we are using?

 

Thanks

word 2007 windows 8 mistakenly flags words

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 06:30 PM PDT

I have been using Word 2007 for several years on computers running vista.  Recently on my new laptop which runs windows 8 it is underlining many words which are not misspelled (or grammatically incorrect) indicating a mistake.  The indication usually includes a noun which is followed by a comma.  If I move the comma or replace it with a semi-colon the squiggly line disappears.  I have tried to turn off the feature without success.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

2010 Word Download location? Macro Errors?

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 05:47 PM PDT

Early 2012 I purchased Word 2010.  Now, every time I try to open an existing document, or create a document I get a "Macro" errors.  (I have already tried all of the Microsoft Help suggestions without success.)  


One of the Techs from another software company says Word 2010 is corrupted and I should re-load it.  I purchased Word 2010 last year via download.  I have the product key.  However, I can't seen to find a site where I can download the product without paying for it again.   

Suggestions on either of these two issues?

Page numbering won't continue

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 05:26 PM PDT

I am following instructions on page numbering (at the foot of pages, centralised).  I can start page numbers where I want them (after a book prelims in a separate section -- where I don't want them). But when I put in page 1, they do not continue!
