Microsoft Word - Random duplicates of document pages appearing

Microsoft Word - Random duplicates of document pages appearing

Random duplicates of document pages appearing

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 02:52 PM PDT

I wrote a 71 pages docx file. Whenever I open the file, the 71 pages appear normal, if I try to print the document, magically, the number of pages rockets to 105. Now, if I go back to the file, the document automagically becomes 105 pages of randomly selected duplicates. Wordweb app behaves the same.

I was testing the revision comparison feature earlier if that is of relevance.

Thanks.

Upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2007 on Windows XP Pro

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I love Word 2003, but to start a new job, I need to upgrade to either Word 2007, 2010, or 2013 (32-bit versions only; no starter editions). I am using Windows XP Pro as my operating system. I just need the Word part upgraded, and I am not sure if there is an upgrade I can download or if I need to purchase Word 2007 (or another) independently and install. I also need clarification on if I need to uninstall Word 2003 before I install Word 2007. I don't believe I can have two versions installed (at least that is what my employers IT folks told me). I have Microsoft Office Word/Excel/Outlook 2003, which is part of MO Basic Edition 2003. Not sure what else you might  need to know to answer my question. I appreciate your help as I need an to take action asap. Thank you!

Pop up windows and character limit

Word 2013 cutting off text from older Word document

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 01:13 PM PDT

Hello all,

I'm having a strange issue with Word 2013. I have Word docs that were sent to me from someone that were created in a previous version of Word (unsure which version.) When I open them up in Word 2013, the document abruptly ends. There are no error messages or warnings, the Compatibility Mode indicator is in the title bar, yet the text is just missing. When I select the last line of text and use Cut, it will reveal some of the "missing" text, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to see the entire document properly. If I open it up in a previous version of Word (in my case 2010) the text is all there. Being that I purchased 2013, going to a previous version of Word is not a good solution, though I may have to use it as a workaround for the time being. Anyone else see this behavior?

Possibly related issue - I'm unable to Paste text from any of these documents when I have them open in Word 2013. Not even into Notepad.

I am running Windows 7 on a desktop PC, if that helps.

page number in word 2013

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 12:25 PM PDT

I guys/ladies
I'm using word 2013 and I have 3 pages document, I wanted to insert page numbers for it, but I was not able to do that for whole document, only the page the curser in will take the number (like if I'm in 2nd page, and inserted page number, it will take page No. 2 and the other 2 pages will be blank) I think this is formatting issue, so anyone knows this issue
thanks

Microsoft Office keeps stopping !

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 11:52 AM PDT

I have just purchased & installed microsoft office 2013.  I am having the same problem, it seem,s as everyone else, all the programmes stop working when I try to open them or work on a document. 

 

 I think there may have been a conflict when I installed my printer.  I have now un-installed the printer and have 'repaired' office word. I am still experiencing the same problem with the programme shutting down. 

 

 I have tried following Guruprasad's advice of opening in safe mode and running the programme, but when I press the Windows key and letter R, and type winword/safe in the open box as he describes, I am told it cannot find the programme so cannot continue with starting word in safe mode. 

 

What do I do now?  I cannot access any documents.

How to get text to fill between margins?

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 11:38 AM PDT

I've captured text to my clipboard from the web and imported into a word blank document but the text is only about 1/2 page wide. How do I get the text to go from margin to margin?

In a Word 2010 table the following formula, =IF(B2<>0,(C2/B2)*100,0) and B and C are 0 should return 0.00% but returns a blank. How do I fix this?

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 11:14 AM PDT

In a templated docm, the formula above worked fine in Word 2007 and works fine in Excel 2010.  In Word 2010 the result is a blank space where 0.00% is wanted to be seen.  In instances where B has a number and C is 0 the formula correctly returns 0.00% in the appropriate space.  See examples in picture below:

 

 

Does anyone have a 'fix' for this problem - I really do NOT want to rebuild all the macros.

 

And now I notice that I cannot 'see' anything in the field except the formula within a control box - it's not calculating, just sitting there.  Obviously I've done something(s) wrong - HELP.  I can't seem to understand this Equation Editor at all.

 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Exporting into word?

Header not showing on one page

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 08:47 AM PDT

I have a document that I frequently edit, but I rarely touch the header.  I just added a new page, and the header isn't appearing (this is page 5 of 5).  But when I click in the white space to edit the header, there it is.  It does not show up on print preview, either.  It is not a problem with the white space not showing or being in the wrong view.  All the headers on the previous 4 pages show up just fine.  The only thing I can come up with is that I had originally copied and pasted the document (4 pages) from another document and then edited it from there, including the header originally.  Could that be the problem?  And if so, how would I fix it?  Or any other ideas?

invisible section breaks

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 08:36 AM PDT

I am in the midst of creating a rather lengthy document that has "chapters".  I am basically familiar with creating new section breaks.  I have been working with someone who is editing this document with me.  This individual is using a MAC to do her editing.  When I get the "chapters" back the formatting is all corrupted.  I need to figure out how to fix the section breaks.  I have a document where the section is numbered Section 4 on one page and Section 7 on the next page.  I have deleted all page breaks, and paragraph marks.  Still shows the same section breaks.  I have even eliminated all formatting and still get the same Section numbers.

 

I am hoping that someone can help me find a solution to this problem.  It is so irritating.  I have spent literally days cleaning up the original document.  I am sure that this will continue to be a problem and that is ok if I know how to fix it or know how to prevent it from repeatedly occurring. 

 

HELP!!!!

Office 2013 and vector graphics

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 08:25 AM PDT

Hola -

Office 2013 (both Word and Publisher) do NOT display (or print) vector graphics as vectors - it rasterizes them, and not well.  When I insert an EMF file into Word 2013 and zoom in on the image, the line art is pixelated.  When I insert the exact same file in Office 2010, the vectors are intact and the line art is smooth at any zoom scale.

Office 2013 discontinued support for CGM as well, but that's a separate issue.

As it stands, Office 2013 is useless for doing product documentation as the image quality is just terrible.  Is this a bug?  Or intentional?

TIA

Colors used in MS Word 2010

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 08:25 AM PDT

I have a document that uses specific colors in table headers that I want to duplicate in other tables. Is there any way to find out what exact colors are being used so that I might duplicate them elsewhere in the document? Thanks!

Realtive and Absolute Hyperlink problems

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 08:19 AM PDT

I am having a problem with Word2013 retaining relative hyperlinks.

After some reasearch I have discovered that there is a setting in the Word Options that must be changed to prevent the relative hyperlinks from being changed to absolute and I have changed that option to prevent updating links upon save.

 

I  have a parent document and several subdocuments (some of which are in lower order subfolders).  I have set the top level document properties hyperlink base to the top level folder in the document structure.  When I establish the hyperlink, I navigate to the subordiante document and then create the link.  Yet when I hover over the hyperlink, it displays the absolute path, not the relative path.

 

This structured document will ultimately be mobile (moving from system to system) and these links need to be relative.

 

Does anyone know what I am missing?

 

I have crawled all over http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903163/en-us and if the answer is there, I am not seeing it.

voice recognition, correct/spell special character in a name

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 07:23 AM PDT

A person I write has an accent in his name, which I can make on the keyboard, Tomas with an accent over the a (holding down the control key and pressing the accent doesn't seem to work in this combox, but it does in Word). But I have to correct it every time I dictate it--Voice Recognition offers me the correct choice, I guess from analyzing the document or something. How do I get the Spell function to record an accented a and keep it so I don't have to keep correcting it?  Thank you!

Word 2010 keeps adding a border to inserted pictures

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 07:12 AM PDT

I am creating a document in Word 2010 (on Win7 x64) and either there is a buried setting I am missing or this is an anomaly.

About 85% of the time I insert a picture Word adds a line or border to the bottom only (see screenshot).




If I click on "Format Picture"  there is no border, text box, line color or style specified; everything is "None."

If I delete the picture the line is gone (i.e. it's not in the document itself). Re-insert the picture and it's back.

I look at the picture file offline and there is no line or border in the .jpg itself, but just for giggles I deleted a slice off the bottom of the image about 6 or 7 pixels wide, re-saved it and re-inserted it and yes - another line is there.

I was beginning to think it's purely a visual anomaly so I printed out a page, but nope, all lines print just as they are shown.

Any ideas on this one? I cannot seem to get rid of the bottom lines!

Insert autotext on top of page, jumps to page above, Bug?

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 05:43 AM PDT

I have found (I believe) a bug-like behaviour in Word 2010.

It seems inserting an autotext(buildingblock) consisting of a table, at the very top of a page will remove the page break and make it "jump" up to the page above?

 

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Open an empty document.
  2. Create a table (nr of rows or columns doesn't matter)
  3. Select the table and save it as a buildingblock of type: Autotext.
  4. Now delete the table from your document.
  5. Write a text of your choice i.e: "Test" at the first line of the document.
  6. Hit CTRL-ENTER to create a page break.
  7. Now have your cursor be at the top of the second page and insert your Autotext-table.

The Autotext will be inserted on the first page in the document?

Shouldn't it be put where the cursor was?

  • Inserting the autotext further down the second page, works.
  • Doing the same in Word 2002 also work, granted the functionality with BuildingBlocks didn't exist there.
  • Inserting an autotext which is not just a table seems to work.
  • If I do this in VBA, the issue is the same.

Title aligning in Word 2013

Mail merge 'if-field' and numbered list

Posted: 24 Sep 2013 02:50 AM PDT

Hi Everyone,

For the company I work for I'm creating a word-template using mail merge to automatically fill information in customer contracts.

The salesmanager ticks specific boxes, which corresponds with the in- or exclusion of a certain article in the contract. For instance, when a customer wants extra insurance, that article is added in the document using the if-field. If he doesn't, the article is not added.

So far so good.

But now I have this problem: when an article is NOT added, the corresponding numbered list item is not deleted. It looks like this:


Article 1: Delivery and shipping
1.1 Delivery will commence when payment is recieved
1.2
1.3 Delivery time for <<product>> is <<time>>


In this case 1.2 is the article concerning the 'extra insurance'. It's not added, but the number is still there.

I would like the document to delete '1.2' when there is nothing on that line.

Can anyone help me with this?

Bugs in Word2010

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 11:58 PM PDT

I have started to use Word 2010 in the last week (new work laptop) and found two annoying issues that MAY be due to Word 2010 but need to know.
1. While reviewing a document with a Markup area a bubble will pop up telling me so and repeat itself across the screen, following the mouse) for a short while. It stays on top of the document and gets in the way of it (only way to get rid of it is to restart Word). The picture shows how it remains on the desktop too. 
2. Holding down CTL + using the mouse wheel used to allow me to zoom in as far as the tool would allow. Now it gets to 225% and resets to 10% only to repeat the same if I keep zooming in. I have to manually click on the zoom bar in bottom right to go further and then it works with the mouse wheel.

Microsoft Word 2013 wont open in protected view...

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 10:57 PM PDT

I am enrolled in courses that use online resources like Moodle (similar to Blackboard) and my instructors upload documents for us to view and download. I recently purchased Office 2013 and although I can open a blank document in word if I try to open any document from moodle, MS Words' loading screen opens up and states "opening in protected view" but doesn't do anything else. Do I need to change MS office settings, my computer settings, or what? I can open the documents off of moodle from any other computer using other versions of MS office.

How to fix saving and opening for word 2013

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 07:48 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Office 365 University on my laptop. However, every time that I try to open up a word document, even if I created and saved it under Word 2013, it says "there was a problem sending the command to the program" and opens the word document as a read only compatibility mode. This is extremely annoying and the problem still is not fixed when I try to convert it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Mariah

How to send letters to different addresses with same letter template

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 04:42 PM PDT

Hi!

I send a lot of letters to different people but send the same letter - just have to change names and addresses.

However I dont have a list of names I need to send to so mailmerge from an excel sheet isn't an option as I don't want to first fill and regularly update an excel sheet.

What I'd like to do is create a form that I can fill out which will automatically complete the letter once I have filled in the addresses as I would do online when putting in a delivery address.

Currently on word I have to format the letter every time and save a new copy. What I would like is to simply fill out this form and a letter be printed/saved as a pdf once I click finish.

Does this make sense?

Would appreciate any help and advice anyone has to offer.

Regards

JG
