Unlock a protected document

To remove all protection from a document, you might need to know the password that was applied to the document. Or you might have to be listed as an authenticated owner for the document.

If you are an authenticated owner of the document, or if you know the password for removing document protection, do the following:

  1. On the Review tab, in the Protect group, click Restrict Editing.

  1. In the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane, click Stop Protection.
  2. If you are prompted to provide a password, type the password.

 

when I go  to step 2. there is no STOP PROTECTION entry at all.  So what do I do

Wingdings in Word 7

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 01:30 PM PDT

Can some one please tell me how to open Wingdings and wingdings2 and 3 so that I can find what I want to use.  It seems to be pot-luck in this version.  In the earlier versions a window would open showing them all.  I am sure there is an easy solution.  Thanks in advance.

Mail Merge not using Outlook default Account

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 01:10 PM PDT

I have just upgraded to Office 2013 and have found that a Mail Merge no longer uses the Outlook default account, but seems to use the MS Live account. Any idea why/how to change?

I downloaded a pre-printed form in Word & PDF file and cannot fill in the form now. How can I open this form so I can enter the info?

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT

I downloaded a pre-printed form to Word and PDF file.  When I try to open this form in either folder to enter information, it won't let me.  Is there some way to format this form to enter information?  The original form was scanned and sent to me by email which I then downloaded under Word and in the PDF file.  I am new to Windows 8 but really need help.  I need to submit this form completed ASAP.

Can't remove horizontal line - not a border or graphic line

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:10 AM PDT

I am having issues with horizontal lines above the end notes in a manuscript.  I have already tried to remove it through various border options on both the body and header/footer, which have not worked.  I cannot select it or delete it any way.  I don't know what the original creator did to make the line; as a last-ditch attempt, I tried to copy and paste individual paragraphs into a new document - and the line is still there.

 

The formatting needs to be correct to submit to a publisher, so I can't just live with it.

Opening "structures" in equation editor, hangs Word

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:02 AM PDT

I use the Word equation editor (alt + =) in Word 2010 and 2013 (WIN 7)
On both versions I have the following problem:

When I click on one of the structures under: Equation Tools ->Design -> Structures (Fraction, Script, etc..),
the application hangs for 2 minutes before resuming. This happens every time I restart Word.
No logs are present in the EventViewer.
This bug occurs even with a Blank document.

I Will greatly appreciate any advise, as I bought office 2013 hoping it will solve the issue. 

Comments and edits made by me are not showing up for students when papers are posted to Moodle or Blackboard.

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 10:05 AM PDT

I teach on line. I edit students papers and comment on them. When I upload their papers back to them, the comments and edits are not visable to the students. Version of word, doesn't seem to affect the process. This also happens both in Moodle and Blackboard. Anyone have an idea what could be going on?

user account control - word 2013

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 09:48 AM PDT

Every time I open Word the User Account Control pops up and asks if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer. I have to click yes, and it's getting kind of annoying! It only happens with Word; not Outlook, Excel, or Publisher. How can I make it stop?

How can I get rid of the phrase "you're good to go" from spell checker in Microsoft Office.

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 07:30 AM PDT

How can I get rid of the phrase "you're good to go" from spell checker in Microsoft Office.

This is an American phrase and as I am English I do not want this every day on spell checker.

How can I have this removed. My language setting is set to UK English, why do I therefore have to have this American English.

Would love to say "you're good to go" to "you're good to go!"

Need to disable UNDO (EditUndo) in Word 2007 to prevent citations/source manager crashing

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 05:23 AM PDT

I have established the cause of word citations crashing with large number of references/citations/sources- see this thread.

To work around this problem I need to disable the undo command.

I have tried various macro solutions based on forum posts:

1) creating a macro with the name EditUndo to 'repurpose' the inbuilt undo command - this does not work in word 2007 and above
2) ActiveDocument.UndoClear just clears the stack at that time, but does NOT disable it, so is not a solution.
3) Save does not clear the undo stack in word 2007 and up (and like ActiveDocument.UndoClear it wouldn't help anyway)
4) Protect document does not help because I can't work with it while it's protected.

I REALLY need a way to switch off the undo function in word temporarily.

Can anyone suggest a way?

Note to Microsoft: You need to have a switch/setting to allow deliberate disabling of the undo stack temporarily (with warning messages).
Also you really need to work on the citations/reference handling code - there are a number of code limitations that have not been addressed in 2 generations of office - see the bibword site.

Question About Table Content Alignments Becoming (Slightly) Unaligned

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 03:59 AM PDT

Greetings.

I have several large MS Word 2010 documents that contain many tables, one after another.

Most of the tables have three or four columns. The material in these columns is frequently aligned in certain rows (when appropriate) when the material is associated.  I will try to illustrate the problem as follows (below is a small "table" of three columns):

Col 1               Col 2              Col 3

aaaaaaaaa        aaaaaaa
bbbbbb                                bbbbb

ccccccccc

ddddddd         ddddddd       ddddddd
                        eeeeeee        eeeee


And so on.  Notice how the rows are aligned nicely. But after I open and close the documents containing the tables, these row tend to become unaligned, slightly out of whack, perhaps because the columns contain paragraphs of different fonts and sizes (this can't be helped), say the ddddddds in Col 3 drop down very slightly.

I know this explanation may be irritatingly confusing, but I am wondering if one of the MS Word experts knows what the problem is.

That is, why do these row alignments become distorted (albeit in small amounts)? Is it because all items in the Tables must be of the same font and size? But if the content in the tables is not touched, why the distortion (albeit slight)?
