Microsoft Word - Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Microsoft Word - Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 03:04 PM PDT

In both Excel and Word, I often insert a photo then add annotation and shapes (lines, dimensions, arrows) over the photo for clarification. However the lines and shapes I add do not stay where I want them! How can I lock in what I have drawn over the photo?

 

For example, I write a Word doc describing a woodworking item that I have built, and include a photo. Over the photo I'll add some dimensions by inserting a text box, arrows, and lines. After editing the doc, later I find all the dimensions shifted out of place. The only way I fix this is by setting everything correct then immediately saving as a pdf. But I should be able to "lock" the drawing and my additions, right? I hope so.

 

Thanks much

Bill

OFFICE WORD 2010 (SPELLING AND GRAMMAR area)

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 02:28 PM PDT

HELLO

I have MS OFFICE WORD 2010,  When i go under the reveiw tab and click on THESAURUS and want to use that, my RESEARCH icon comes on at the same time, and hence I CANNOT USE THESAURUS. I DONT NEED RESEARCH, but want THESAURUS. I went to my CUSTOM my RIBBON area, and on there showed something about CHINESE stuff, which i DONT NEED/WANT/NOR PUT THAT THERE; and how do i get rid of the CHINESE info on the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON area. Plus the fact that on my document that i want to print out, my last paragraph comes out BOLD, like this. No other part of the document is bold, but just the last paragraph. I DID NOT CLICK ON THE BOLD TAB. I printed that last page 4 times, bold still comes on the last paragraph, but DOESNOT SHOW when i preview, or even i sent myself an email, and i also did a "SNIP-IP" and does not show bold. Only when i print it shows BOLD. I have W7 HOME PREMIUM and use MS WORD 2010, and have HP wireless printer.

ANY HELP or SUGGESTIONS!!

THANKS,

LOU

Does anyone know how to reset the page size after making an envelope in Word?

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 12:55 PM PDT


After making an envelope on Word I have not been able to restore the page sizing back to normal. I have tried deleting the pages but it keeps reformatting to look like this. I have also gone to page layout and tried resetting the page size but that has not worked.

Word not responding

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 08:03 AM PDT

I have noticed that when I have a certain number of pages open, Word 2003 suddenly stops responding.  I don't know exactly how many pages cause that to happen, but it seems to be five or six.  Is there a maximum number that Word will allow, or is it that my computer is deficient in memory?

Yes start enforcing protection button does not work

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

I created a form letter in which I inserted text fields.  I want to protect the form so that the only changes that can be made are restricted to the text fields.  I went to the developer tab and selected restrict editing.  Under Edit Restrictions I placed a check mark in the box labeled "Allow only this type of editing in the document" and then chose "Filling in Forms" from the combo drop down box.  I noticed that the "Yes start enforcing protection" button is not highlighted and therefore I can not enforce my restrictions.  My software is activated with Microsoft so I don't understand why this feature does not work.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Word 2013 Crashes When Spell Check Launched

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 07:32 AM PDT

Using a newly installed Word 2013 for the first time. All fine, except for the fact that when I click on Spellcheck, the program crashes immediately. Could this be a problem with the install? I'm currently on the month's free trial of Office 365, so perhaps that has something to do with it? I also found that Excel crashed straight away when I tried to open it, so this problem may not be specific to Word.

Problem opening opening documents from Office 365 in Office 2013 applications

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 05:09 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem which is really starting to annoy me. I use SharePoint Team Sites in Office 365 to store documents. However, whenever I try to open Word or Excel documents from my desktop computer which runs Office 2013 I get multiple login prompts from Word/Excel. I enter my Office 365 credentials but am finally faced with an error message stating that the document can't be opened. I'm having no problem at all opening the very same documents using my laptop which runs Office 2010. Also, I get a message in Word/Excel 2013 under Account / Connected Services that there is a server problem so the online services cannot be displayed. My Office version is 15.0.4535.1511.

 

I posted this problem on the Office 365 support web but was referred here as they said it's most likely an Office problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem and maybe found a solution for it?  

 

Regards,

 

Dave

Can I create a TOC to include appendices with Letters A,B etc, then sub headings A.1 etc

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 03:28 AM PDT

I have the usual Headings in the main part of  lengthy documents

e.g. Main Heading is 1, sub headings 1.1 then sub-sub headings 1.1.1 and so on (having followed Shauna Kelly's advice)

But... I'm unsure how to follow with or create Appendix Headings with letters and numbers.

This I hope would appear as A (main appendix heading)

then A.1 (sub appendix heading)

then A.1.1 (sub-sub appendix heading) patently the next main heading would B and so on.

Do I create a new Mult-level list? and then assign these to Heading styles 4, 5 and 6?

Do I need two TOCs ? if so where do I select the headings to be included in the 2nd TOC

Years ago I did this using 'captions' (probably incorrectly) but now there are 'images' and tables that need to be referenced in the TOC

 

Using: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Word version 14.0.6123.5001 (32-bit)

I believe with automatic updates from Microsoft

 

Many thanks in anticipation

How do you have a document with the text in two columns but have a paragraph and headings above those columns. The paragraph would stretch from margin to margin

Strange cursor behavior in one document

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:28 PM PDT

I have several documents with columns of cells. I've printed address labels from these docs for years, but I'm very frustrated because lately they are not printing as they display in print preview.

One is really driving me crazy: The right arrow moves the cursor from the end of the text to the outside edge of the columns, then to a position between the columns and near the bottom of the page. The only way to move it is with the arrow keys. Each time it moves via the arrow keys, it goes to that same position. In other similarly formatted docs the cursor goes across the page from cell to center to cell, then to the next row, etc.

I can keep moving it down with the arrow keys to the end of the page, outside the area of the cells. The back arrow moves it again to that odd position in the center. It's as if it is somehow stuck on the position.

I'm supposed to have 15 rows of cells but only get 14. If I add a 15th it goes to a new page. I think that rogue cursor has something to do with it.

I have probably not explained the situation very clearly, but I've tried.

How can I get the cursor to behave "normally" in this document?

Need VBA Error Handling Code for When ComboBox Removed from File by User

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:50 PM PDT

Hi- I've got a MS Word 2007 file with vba code that populates values in 20 combo boxes. Users rename the file and delete rows they don't need (along with combo boxes). When they open the file again, it results in a 'Method or Data Member Not Found' error message.

 

I tried to add error handling by using 'On Error Go To ErrorHandler',with ErrorHandler being 'Exit Sub' but I still get a 'Method or Data Member Not Found' error message. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Private Sub Document_Open()
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    With Me.ComboBox1
        .Font.Size = 9
        .TextAlign = 1 ' 1 = Left 2 = Center 3 = Right
        .AddItem "Select One"
        .AddItem "On Target"
        .AddItem "Behind Schedule"
    End With
    With Me.ComboBox2
        .Font.Size = 9
        .TextAlign = 1 ' 1 = Left 2 = Center 3 = Right
        .AddItem "Select One"
        .AddItem "On Target"
        .AddItem "Behind Schedule"
    End With

    ErrorHandler
        Exit Sub
  
    End Sub
