I purchase Microsoft Word 2010 wordprocessor from Microsoft Online Store.  I downloaded the software to my computer.

 

My problem is Microsoft Word 2010 wordprocessor only print odd number pages.  When I want to print even number pages, the printer print odd number pages.  When I want to print even number pages at the back of the odd number pages, the printer again print odd number pages.

 

How do I correct this problem?

Quick question about recovering Office data

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 02:33 PM PDT

Hi.

My computer under Win8 recently broke down and I had to get a new one, which works under Win7.

I was able to recover most of my files except for the data and parameters from Office 2013. I always thought I was covered through File History so I never troubled to save these.

Is there a way to retrieve them, especially the entries from my Outlook calendar and the settings from Word?

Thanks in advance.

Word 2010 spacing betwen lines in business letter header has changed

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 02:24 PM PDT

BEFORE:

 

Date

 

Name

Address

City, State, Zip

 

re:  xyz

 

NOW:

 

Date

 

Name

 

Address

 

City, State, Zip

 

re:  xyz

 

I am not able to change the spacing in the header section of a business letter.  Word is putting too many spaces between each line.  The weird thing is that in  the body of the letter it maintains single spacing between lines (just not the header with date, name and address).  Your help appreciated!

 

How to Put Five Lines in Default Return Address in Word 2010?

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 02:24 PM PDT

Our return address on envelopes is five lines long. I'm looking for a way to put a five-line default return address in the Mailings - Envelopes button. I have been able to force a five-line address that is repeatable, but as soon as I close Word it drops the fifth line.

I've tried everything I can think of to get a five-line address in the Envelope button on the mailings tab. I have tried altering the normal.dotm template; modifying the return address in the Options button under the File Tab (File - Options - Advanced - Mailing Address, using compatability options for All New Documents); modifying the return address in the Envelopes and Labels - Add to Document and clicking on "Set as Default". Nothing works.

Any thoughts?

Name field not being updated via macro code

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 01:29 PM PDT

Hi all,

Have a macro that inserts a file into an existing document (basically, it inserts some pre-formatted text that is in a .doc instead of a lengthy code to create the text).

That text also has a field embedded in it - "UserName".

For whatever reason, the field does not get updated when it is inserted.  I have tried issuing an Update call to update all the fields but it is still not updating.  What I get is the author's name of the *inserted document* not the person who is authoring the document.

I have tried a number of ways to do this programmatically - the user's can right-click the field and choose "Update" but they want it done automatically.

Thanks,
Albert

Missing Registry subkey

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 01:24 PM PDT

The following Registry subkey is missing from Word 2010:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options

 

DisableSaveAsLossWarningOpenDocumentText

 

The absence of this means I cannot turn the message on & off despite the fact that the Microsoft support tells me that I can.  I asked a colleague to look in his Registry and similarly the subkey for Word was missing.

 

It's interesting to note that for both Powerpoint and Excel the counterpart Registry subkeys are present and work.  Looks suspiciously like a programming omission to me.  Does anyone have any ideas?

reducedfunctionalitydialog preventing use of Word 2010 full version

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 12:45 PM PDT

We have had several users trying to use Microsoft Word and they are unable to interact with the program. Upon opening task manager I see that "ReducedFunctionalityDialog" is running. When I saw that I thought perhaps our KMS activation was not working, but I confirmed that the product is in fact licensed and the KMS server is working properly. Force closing word and reopening it seems to solve the problem but I'd like to know why Office doesn't think it is licensed or if this is being caused by a different issue.

Some tidbits about our environment:

  • Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with Service Pack 1 and updates as of August 2013
  • Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus (32-bit) with Service Pack 1 and updates as of August 2013 except Service Pack 2

Any help is appreciated.

Why can't word 2013 count captions?

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 12:17 PM PDT

Hi,
When insert images into Word, and then insert captions, why is the numbering in a random order
I insert a caption for an image, it starts with figure 1, then goes to 2, 3 and then 4
But, on the next page, it starts off at 2 or 3. Not 5, as it should
Why is this? Can I fix it?
Thanks

Quick Parts do not insert correctly

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 10:47 AM PDT

Lots to not understand regarding Quick Parts.....

 

When I highlight the object I want to use as a quick part, either on the text layer or header/footer, I notice that positioning is off.  If there is a tab in the quick part, it is not in the same position.  If the quick part involves a table there is extra space below the table.  Example:

 

1.  There is a 4 cell, 2 row table with one paragraph mark below.  I have highlighted the two rows, including cell markers and the single paragraph mark.  When I insert the quick part, an extra return is added, pushing the top margin down.

2.  The footer is centered text with a centered tab below where the page number field is.  This is followed with a return with text at the left margin.  When inserted, the tab for the page number is not correct and a second paragraph return appears after the text below.

 

I thought formatting was contained in the paragraph marks, so was careful to make sure I captured them in creatiing the quick part, but it seems to have a mind of its own.

 

There's probably something here that I'm missing or do not understand..... can someone please clarify?

 

Thanks and regards, Lenny33

TOC Styles right indent

How can you set the text of the TOC Style right indent without the page number changing indents also. Whenever I add a right-indent to paragraph of a TOC Style it also indents the page number.

Creating and Saving Cover Page

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 10:08 AM PDT

This question is in regard to Word 2010.
I need to create a SIMPLE cover page that only has a few lines of text, no fancy formatting or anything.
I need to then be able to save it and insert it into several documents that I already have without messing up the formatting or page numbers of those documents.

(Actually I need to set this up and test it on my machine (W7-Office2010) and then move this solution to another machine (XP-Office2007)).
Thanks in advance.

Can you transfer Microsoft products?

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 09:40 AM PDT

This Christmas I received a PC computer for use in college from my dad, who lives in Alabama.  I installed 2010 Microsoft programs like Word and Excel and all the other kinds while I was down there visiting.  I go to college at Ball State in northern Indiana, and was informed a few weeks in that for my major I needed a MacBook.  I will be picking up my MacBook this weekend from my mom, who lives in southern Indiana, and we will trade computers.  I was wondering if there was a way for me to transfer all of my Microsoft programs from my computer to my new MacBook.  I am not sure if my dad has the Microsoft CD any longer and if he did he wouldn't be able to send it to me in time before I needed to write papers.  Thanks!

Word starter update and opening attachments in email

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 09:16 AM PDT

Since 14 September 2013 I cannot successfully send Word Starter 2010 attachments using yahoo, gmail etc (in Chrome or IE).  I have tested this by sending my self a copy of the email.  The word starter document icons have changed colour from blue to orange, whereas they have remained blue on my harddisc/pc and can be opened easily.  I am using the attach button in email - drag and drop does not work.  When I try and open the attachment which is shown as a box at the top of the text box a warning box stating unknown publisher message comes up followed by a box which says I do not have the software to support opening the attachment and invites me to buy one of the word/office packages for sale.  The box does if I already have word I have to enter a product code but I cannot do this as word starter (which I understand is free anyway) came with the computer when I purchased it in Dec 2011 and I was not given such a code (I suspect as word starter is free no product is given anyway).
I have searched the word updates list and discovered that  microsoft updates were made the day before these troubles started i.e. on 13 September.  No word updates were made to one of my phones (iphone) I use to access email, and I was instantly able to open the attachment in the test email I sent tomyself and which, as I say, cannot be opened on my pc post the updates.
Winndows 7 is installed on my pc.  I don't know whether the 32-bit 64-bit point is relevant - the 13 Sept updates involved both.  I do not know what my word starter software is in this respect.
Shall I uninstall the 13 Sep 2013 word update?  I fear that uninstalling the 13 Sept '13 update might unistall all of word starter 2010 onb my pc.
 

Footnotes

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 08:59 AM PDT

I have two different computers and both are using Microsoft Word 2010. I am creating a paper and using footnotes. When creating a footnote the paragraph spacing before and after is at zero and the Page Layout spacing is at zero before and after. After creating the footnote, one computer will show the text and the footnote separator line with no space between vertically. The other computer will show a space in between the footnote text and the footnote separator line. What causes the settings to be different?

Searching Libraries and Drives Produces Incomplete Results

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 08:17 AM PDT

When I use the search feature to search the computer for words/phrases in documents stored on my flash drive the results do not show 1) anything I have written in a comment balloon 2) the word in the actual paragraph that is highlighted connecting the balloon to the phrase and 3) randomly leaves out other Word formats; I have Word 2007 currently but many of the documents I search are saved in Word 2003.  I have the folder options set to show all file types. 

My OS is Windows 7 Home and the Office product is 2007

Thanks - Sandee

save as problems

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 07:41 AM PDT

In either Word 2007 or Excel 2007, if I attempt 'save as' the application fails with 'Microsoft Word/Office has stopped working' and I have only the option to close the program. A file saved with the same name completes successfully and I can rename it later. Tried reinstalling Office but to no avail, suggesting the fault may lie outside Office - any ideas?.

Office appears to be opening word docs. in picture mode

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 07:10 AM PDT

Some previous docs can be opened, but many can not.  And what used to be simple e-mailed word doc. attachments can not now be opened.

 

Last week I was unable to open a doc. and allowed Office to "update" in hopes of opening the doc. I was not able to open that doc. and now can not open others it seems to think are pictures.

 

Please note that I did try to uninstall and re-install office with no better success.

 

Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer advice/help,

Word Document compatibility mode

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 06:43 AM PDT

I am sure this was answered somewhere, but now I really need to know how......

Every time I open a Word Document it is running in compatibility mode.

I know that when I started using this version I wanted to use my previous template.

I think this has something to do with repeated "other issues" that I experience in using the new Word.

Can some one please help?

Issue with Acrobat XI and Word, Word has stopped working.

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 06:36 AM PDT

Hello. I'm having an issue with Acrobat XI and Word 2010 and Word 2013. Whenever I try to create a PDF using the Acrobat tab on the ribbon, I get a message that Word has stopped working. 

This has only started to happen in the past month or so. 

I have installed the updates for Acrobat. 

And I have tried numerous times formatting and reinstalling Windows 7 (64-bit). 

Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix? I'm so stressed with full time work and trying to study that its making me depressed because I need it for my course. 

Open command opens Libraries instead of designated file location

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 06:30 AM PDT

I don't use the Libraries at all, preferring to have my documents on my D: drive in a folder named
Word.  I have many sub-folders, but most of my documents belong in my DOCS sub-folder, so that is the folder I have specified as my AutoRecover file location and my Default file location in the File\Options\Save page as D:\Word\DOCS\.  And on the File\Options\Advanced\General\File Locations page, under File types:, Documents are located in D:\Word\DOCS.

 When I open Word 2010 and click on Open, it opens my DOCS folder.  But subsequently, sometimes the next time I click on open or after a few times, it opens Documents in Libraries.  I have to click on the down arrow at the right of the field and select D:\Word\DOCS to open the correct folder.  This drives me CRAZY! 

I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit H-P system.

What can I do to correct this?

Mouse won't consistently select a full line of text

Posted: 16 Sep 2013 05:31 AM PDT

I am suddenly experiencing an intermittent erratic mouse. At times I cannot highlight a full line of text to cut/copy and paste. Sometimes I can sweep and get the full line then later only one word will highlight. Sometimes it will grab and move letters within words around. Any ideas what could be causing this -- it's frustrating and slowing down my work.

My Micresoft Office Starter just stopped letting me open any files. What could be the problem????

How do I re-install Office Starter (now that the old way to do it doesn't work anymore)

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 08:31 PM PDT

Hi

 

Let me start by saying that I have VERY LITTLE computer knowledge. As soon as people start using the slightest bit technical language I don't understand what they're saying at all and it's like another language to me, e.g. I had to google OEM to find out what that means (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

 

After the auto update from Microsoft the other day which turned everyone's (who uses Office Starter) Word documents into DOCX files 

the first thing I did was to un-install Office Starter 2010 - because that is what has fixed the problem in the past when I couldn't open word files, although they've never turned orange docx on me before. I've always been able to easily re-install Office Starter 2010 using Office 2010 like it says to in these instructions (it has always worked in the past):

 

If Word Starter 2010 or Excel Starter 2010 cannot
be opened, uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office
Starter 2010:

1. Click "Start" then "all programs" and make sure you
see Microsoft Office 2010 in the list of installed 
programs. You'll need to use this program later 
to reinstall Office Starter 2010 on the computer.

2. Open the "Control Pannel" and under "Programs" click on "Uninstall a program"
3. Click Microsoft Office Starter 2010, and then 
click Uninstall (or Remove in Windows XP).

4. Click Yes and follow the instructions to uninstall 
Office Starter 2010.

5. To reinstall Office Starter 2010, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office 2010.

6. Click Use. See image.

7. And then click Open. This will re-install Office Starter 2010.

If the error continues to occur, you may have to do a full
restore of the computer to reinstall Microsoft Office Starter 2010.
We recommend you contact the computer manufacturer to talk
about your options before you do this.

 

BUT NOW when I follow these instructions the box in the image above is there BUT where it says "Use Office Starter 2010" NOW IT SAYS "Try Office free for a limited time" and where it says "Use" it now says "Try". So now I can't re-install Office Starter!!

 

Does anyone know if there is any way I can re-install Office Starter (other than the method above which doesn't work anymore)?

 

I rang the Microsoft Help Line and after explaining my situation to the tech guy I gave him remote access to my computer but EVEN HE COULDN'T FIX IT!!! He said I would need to get another Office Starter 2010 and he said the only place I can get one from is my computer manufacturer (Acer) and to contact them and ask them for a copy. He said he will leave my case # open and call me back on Mon to see how I go at getting Office Starter from them. He also said Acer will probably advise me to do a Factory Restore and to back-up my computer before doing this.

 

I rang Acer a moment ago to see if I can get Office Starter from them somehow, but I was told they are experiencing a high # of calls at the moment and they took my phone# and said they will call me back in an hour or 2.

 

If there was a Microsoft office near my house I would go down there and start trashing the joint like they have trashed my life and computer at the moment. This is absolute bullsh**. Microsoft have wasted thousands of hours of people's time with their stuff up, why didn't they pay someone to work over the weekend to fix the problem? That would have cost them 8 hours pay to save people thousands of hours in wasted time. Shows how much they care.

 

I'll post back here after I speak to Acer about getting another Office Starter.

Smooth fonts in Windows 7 ?

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 03:24 PM PDT

I upgraded to Office 2013. Fonts look awful in it. I reinstalled Windows, I even tried a different graphics card! The same problem... Office 2013 vs Wordpad
http://tinypic.com/r/118ht0k/5


I noticed that e.g. in ebay when I want to list a new item, fonts look like this (pasted to wordpad on the right)
http://tinypic.com/r/jaxgle/5

Why is that? I tried two graphics cards and a fresh install of Win7 every time... I am confused here. It is acceptable in ebay etc, it is NOT acceptable in Office. When I zoom in, it is better... I tried to follow some online tips: disable hardware acceleration etc. I used to have office2010 it was fine...but I can see it applies to my system/default fonts in some places as well... Of course I went through 'cleartype' options.

Disabling 'aero' does not help
