help with open office

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 02:52 PM PDT

Y computer worked well for years then all of a sudden the computer will not let me open the documents in open office.  Computer gives 3 choices-already purchased, go online to purchase or try for free for 1 month . I guess I purchased it with the computer.  It wants the product code number.  I did find the product code on the bottom of my computer but can only read 20 of the required 25 digits.  Why did they put this on a paper sticker on the bottom of my computer, I don't know.  Is this info stored in my computer somewhere so I can access all my stuff again?  How can I get my product code?

Change number style increments?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 01:40 PM PDT

I am creating a multilevel list for a document that will be part of a city code.   Their numbering conventions advance every section by increments of 10 - for example - 10.01.010, 10.01.020, 10.01.030, ...... etc.   In the "Modify Multilevel list" box, under "Number style for this level, there is an option to enter a number that advances by 1 - i.e., 001, 002, 003, etc.   However, there isn't an option to advance by 10 or any other number, or to customize the numbering.    Is there a way to create a customized numbering scheme that I can port into the list?  Thanks in advance!

2010 Word cannot locate Outlook contacts

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 01:14 PM PDT

All of a sudden, when I try to print envelopes in Word, it cannot locate the Outlook Address Book.  I click on the "address book" icon, am asked which profile to use and then Under Select Names screen appears.  Nothing shows up up in the "Show Named from the:" box.  I recently received/installed update to SP2.  Does this have anything to do with it?

Working with Pictures inside a Word document

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:58 AM PDT

I inspect houses. After each inspection I must create a written report with pictures of various problems I find in the house I inspected. I will insert the same number and type of photos into every report, in the exact same place in each report. In other words, there is a section of text followed by a batch a photos, followed by more text, more photos etc. 

I created a template word document with a lot of the standard text I need in there, although this text content will change with every report. I know it is difficult to move pictures inside a word doc, so I created text boxes in the proper places inside the document, and inserted photos inside the text boxes. There is usually 3-6 photos side by side in the photo areas of the report. With each new document, I can just replace the previous photo in that box with the new photo, i don't have to resize and shape and place the photos every time, etc.  

The template document looks perfect. But, when i edit the text portion of the doc, the pictures start moving all over the document and get completely out of a normal alignment. I believe I need to find a way to group these photos so they always stay grouped together in proper alignment, or maybe I can change the text wrapping so the photos stay aligned. 

I'm not experienced with this stuff. Any help or fresh ideas would be extremely much appreciated. And if it is easier to talk about it then to write it all out let me know, i will give you my phone #.

All of a sudden one of my word files won't open I get a conversion dialog

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:51 AM PDT

All of a sudden one of my word files won't open. When I try to open it I get that damnable window which presumably does some kind of a file conversion after you select Text Encoding as either being Windows, MS-Dos, or "Other" and then it lists a litany of world codes none of which converts the gibberish which shows up when I  open the file. I hope you follow this because I can't open the file in english which happens to be what I used to create the file.

I'm using MS Office Home and Student 2010 which includes MS Word 2010. The file in question which is attached was originally created with the 2010 version.

MicroSoft Office 2010

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:42 AM PDT

We are having a problem in our office and no one can figure our why.

 

My boss received a redlined word document from someone who had word 2007.  He has word 2010 as do I.  The redline markings came out fine on his computer. However when he sent the same document to me the changes where in the document but not as a redline.  We had a similar problem with PowerPoint. Presentations he sent me were not the same as he saw them.  We can't figure out why this is happening.  Can you help.  We are desparate.

Relocking a Form

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

I have a piece of code that unlocks a form, performs spelling verifier, and then relocks the form when done.  However, if the "cancel" button is selected on the spelling verifier, the code is killed and the form does not relock.  Is there a way to either not allow the cancel button to be selected while running to code or to relock the form if the cancel button is selected?


Thanks,

Windows 8 Word - password recovery?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

I have forgotten the password to an important Word doc in Windows 8.

Is there any way I can undo or recover it as an "administrator" on my PC?

 

I have seen the following website is selling password recovery software, but I cannot tell if it's safe...please help.

Perhaps Microsoft could create a way to unlock them in the "administrator" profile...please?

 

How do I get rid of the annoying angle marks on word 2003?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:46 AM PDT

Okay, I know a lot about computers and this problem has me both stumped and frustrated beyond belief. So I'm using word 03 and there are these annoying crop mark/angle thingies on all four corners of the page as shown in the picture. My text boundaries check mark is unchecked and I do not have any asian languages enabled. English U.S. is the only one. I don't even think these are the same crop marks described in other forums. Whatever they are, I just want them gone because they are driving me bonkers and they distract me from my work.

files passworded in 2003 can't have the password removed in 2010

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:15 AM PDT

I have a 2003 file that is passworded. When I open it in 2010, it asks for the password and opens the file with the password. But when I try to remove it, that is not an option. I have converted the file to a 2010 document and the same issue occurs.

 

The only way I know to get around it is to get into the file, copy the contents, paste into a blank and resave the file.

 

Does anyone know what is going on with this or have another answer?

Indent changes automatically when bullet number 10 is reached.

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:10 AM PDT


Hi there.

Have a look at the picture below...


When I use bullets/numbering, the space between the numbering and the actual paragraph changes. This happens from number 10, as can be seen in the picture above.

I don't think this is the intended action. Why is this happening and is there a way to prevent this?

As a KIND OF workaround, I can change the indent very slightly as seen in the before/after depictions.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


My "sort of" workaround is not really one as the indents are not the standard I use at my workplace. Any insight appreciated!

System info: (not that I think it matters but hey)

Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit with SP 1
Office 2010, 32-bit with SP1.

Thanks for reading.

How do I hide Hidden Text and still show/hide all the other formatting marks?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:57 AM PDT

In Word 2003, you could select a check box in the Display Options to keep the Hidden Text hidden, so that when you clicked the Show/Hide formatting marks button, the Hidden Text never appeared. To get Hidden Text to appear, you had to first clear the Hidden Text check box in the Display Options.  Now, in Word 2007, it appears that all the formatting marks (including Hidden Text) appear when you toggle between Show/Hide using the formatting marks button. How do I keep the Hidden Text hidden when I click the Show/Hide formatting marks button? 

Office365 "Insert Table of Contents" missing

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:55 AM PDT

I have a recent install of Office365 on a new PC.  When I am creating a new Word document or modifying an existing one the Table of Contents dropdown menu is missing the "Insert Table of Contents" option.  It just isn't there!  How can I get it?

I can remove the TOC from an existing doc or insert one of the Automatic per-formatted TOCs but I cannot customize the TOC in any way.

Thanks,
Chris

Word 2003 Error message: Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. . . .

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:36 AM PDT

My work computer runs Windows XP and Office 2003.  Whenever I leave a document open while the computer goes into standby, it wakes up to give me the above message and turns the document read-only.  I see that there's a "hotfix" for this problem in Word 2007, but I couldn't find anything similar for 2003.  Is there anything I can do?

Copying macros in Word 2013

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:13 AM PDT

Hello

I am trying to copy macros between Word documents but am unable to see individual macros in the organizer, what I can see is just NewMacros container. Is there a way to see individual macros in the organizer and therefore choose which ones I want to copy instead of copying them all when NewMacros is selected?

Many thanks

Encoding?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 08:51 AM PDT

I am new to coding, and I would like to find out whether the attached file is either corrupt or encoded. I am helping my neighbour with a problem. It started when he tried to resolve the problem himself! I dont really know what he did, but Windows had to be reset to the laptop factory defaults. Before though, I backed up all his stuff with Ubuntu, but when I checked the Documents backup, some were either corrupt or encoded. (I apologise if I am wasting time.) Could anyone shed any light on this?

How do I Edit Hyperlink and Place in this Document for all Links

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 08:31 AM PDT

In MS Word 2010, I am editing a saved html file that has web hyperlinks to other parts of the same document.  I can manually edit the hyperlinks and "Place in this Document" for each link.  Is there way to do this for all the links in the document without having to edit each one individually?

Thanks

Will not print Office word

Windows 7 prof
64 bit

I have an HP printer that has worked fine until recently.  the printer is seen in the control panel under devices.  If I troubleshoot,  no problems are  found.  The HP software says the printer is ready and it will print a txt file, als a page on Chrome or IE 8,  But when I try to print a Word doc or excel file, the program freezes.  I have uninstalled all of the drivers and reinstalled them.

I also connected the printer to a laptop running Windows 8. It works fine. 

Any suggestions?

Invert selection shortcut for Word 2007

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 03:38 AM PDT

Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to select options and then press a shortcut on the keyboard to invert select(reverse select) the items not selected?

Thanks

PS: If not, is there any sort of plugin or add on that I can get that can do this?

References on footnotes

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 03:34 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm having some issues on the way Word 2010 orders the bibliographic references on the footnotes.

So, I have references through all the document itself and also in the footnotes (e.g. footnote 1. Specification limits can be reviewed in [29])

Word updates the reference list and serializes the items by the order they actually appear into the document, however it just ignores the references in the footnotes.

For instance, even if the next reference (which appears on a footnote) is supposed to be number 10, Word assigns the last possible reference number after checking all the document. So, rather than insert [10], it inserts like [29] or so..

I already tried to CTRL+F9 an update all the indexes but it didn't do much..

Thanks for your attention,
DSDV

Building a report pack in Word 2013 from other document types

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 03:19 AM PDT

I am trying to build a single workbook or pack for our executive team based on information sourced from a variety of document types - e.g. Excel, Powerpoint and in some cases Visio.

Currently I would send a big Excel workbook with large data sets hidden in some worksheets and from where graphs and statistics are displayed - to users to get their comments into the various worksheets in a comments cell and then only once I get them back to then save it into PDF for submission to our Executives.

Then over and above the Excel report we'll get other data or reports in Word or Powerpoint and sometimes even Vision that would somehow need to added into the final report - currently it is separate and you quickly loose context once trying to go through the packs.

Is there an EASY way of combining these into a single Word file automatically? Copying and pasting images into Word does work but it's not sustainable.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
PIeter
