Microsoft Word - MS Office 2013 Spell Check not working though Proofing Options are correct

MS Office 2013 Spell Check not working though Proofing Options are correct

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 02:56 PM PDT

My Spell Check on Word 2013 suddenly stopped working mid-way through my writing assignment. I go to highlight words to be checked 
and a dialogue box pops up saying "Spelling and Grammar check is complete. You are good to go!" when there are clearly errors in my writing whether it is spelling or grammar related. The spell check is skipping right over them and telling me it is completed and corrected. I went to the Proofing options under the file tab and have everything selected that is necessary for it work. It's been getting frustrating and I am trying to figure out why it won't successfully be applied to my document! 

Can't use SAVE ICON in MS Word 365

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 02:37 PM PDT

When I click on the save icon in MS Word 365, it takes me to the SAVE AS screen to rename the doc. It previously worked. What could have made it change? This in being used on Windows 7 & 8. Thanks!

Word 2013 Not Turning Hyperlinks into Clickable links

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 02:11 PM PDT

Hi, 
Why are my hyperlinks broken?
When I paste a link into word, instead of turning a link into a clickable link, it pastes, and autocorrects to this:

Any ideas on how to change the behaviour back to the normal behaviour? 

Thanks George :)

Add x number of rows to a table

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 01:59 PM PDT

I have an existing table with a small number of rows, and need to add a large number of new rows.  If I right click and select insert rows, it adds only 1 row at a time (or however many existing rows I highlight).  How can I tell it I want to add a certain (large) number of rows all at once (ideally by typing in the number at some point)?  Note, I need to add more rows than I already have, so I can't just highlight more rows before right-clicking.  I seem to remember being able to do this in earlier versions of word, but maybe I am misremembering

Translating

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 01:43 PM PDT

I have already translated the document from English to Spanish and the Spanish version is now on microsofttranslator.com. My question is once it is there is there a way for me to get the spanish version in a word document that is set up in the same format as the english version? I do not want to have to copy and paste the Spanish version into a word document in order to keep the format the same. Does anyone know how I can do this or if it is even possible? 
 

How to insert different type pages numbers on different pages in one document?

How to insert different type pages numbers on different pages in one document?

Document sometimes open to display tracking and sometimes does not.

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 12:51 PM PDT

Brand new image on corporate network of Windows 7 & Office 2010. The user worked with a Track changes document, attached document to an email and sent it. Recipient reports the doc opened and displayed the tracking - as expected. No problem.

The original user went to her sent items and opened the attachment - it opened in Display Final view instead of the expected Final Showing Markup. She freaked out.

WHY would it be a different default view setting simply because the copy was opened from a sent message? It opens displaying the changes off the server just fine. 

Hidden text does not stay hidden

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 11:07 AM PDT

Folks,

 

I cannot get hidden text to stay hidden. 

 

If I mark text as hidden, and do File>Options>Display and clear Hidden Text and Always show formatting Marks, the text vanishes.

 

 After I re-start word, the hidden text is visible again.

 

Note:  I am running word 2010 as part of mypc, inside a company's network.  I have no pc, just a thin client.

 

I can see where the templates are located.

C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

 

The "Help" desk here is clueless.  They said they would look into it. 

 

Does anyone here have any ideas?

 

Thanks.

If the text box is copied from the "from.doc" to the "to.doc", the format is changed. Why ?

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 10:54 AM PDT

If the text box is copied from the "from.doc" to the "to.doc", the format of the text box is changed. Specifically, the FirstLineIndent and the LineSpacing are changed. I am confused why would this happen ? 

Because the format can be kept if I paste it into other files, I am wondering what is so special about this "to.doc" ?

PS1: There are many text boxes to be copy-paste. I want to avoid manual changing format of the text boxes afterwards.

PS2: The "from.doc" and "to.doc" contains great amount of other information. I want to avoid transferring their content to a fresh Word file.

Any insight is appreciated !

Word will not open a document and keeps freezing.

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 10:49 AM PDT

I cannot open a word doc someone emailed me. Keeps freezing Word or I get the message "caused serious error". They have resaved and resent multiple times in both .doc and .docx. Have no idea how to open this file in Word.

Customize Word 2010 footnote formatting

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 10:29 AM PDT

Is it possible to customize Word 2010's footnote formatting so that Word uses 1) a superscripted footnote marker in the text (default format) with 2) a non-superscripted footnote marker followed by a period (e.g., "1.") in the footnote? Here's a picture of what I'm trying to do:

 

 

What you see in the screenshot is the Turabian format for academic papers. No doubt others in the academic community would be pleased to know if this could be done automatically! Thanks! - Stan

 

Unwanted color shifts to background and Word when I open Word

Although the screen capture doesn't show it, black is really a bright orange.  Word itself doesn't seem to feel right.. and its' colors also seem to have shifted.

Word 2010 Equation Editor not working since last update

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 10:11 AM PDT

At least one month ago Word 2010 Equation Editor was working fine. Now (10/3/2013) when I try to create a new equation in a new document and use the pull-down for fractions all of the available options are blank. The same holds true for all of the other pull-downs except for the one that has complete equations as a number of choices.
I have perused similar question from others that are more than a year old and I noticed that no solution has been posted by anyone.

can I keep a style while I am typing in Microsoft word?

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 09:36 AM PDT

I have been using Styles while preparing a report. What I found is that when I was using a specific style, for instance "Heading1" and press Enter, and then the the style of the new line, in which I would start to type, became "Normal". Is there any way that I can keep the previous style? For example, it is possible for me to do when I use PowerPoint (in which I use "tab" or "alt+tab" to change the level.


Search engine with Font Format specifics not working in Word (Subscription where I supposedly have latest updates)

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 09:25 AM PDT

This is ridiculous, I am trying to search a document, where I have columns set, for words that are in red font. So I select the first column, select advanced search, select Format in the search options, select Font and select red. When I look back at the document, the whole column just got turned into a red font format. I never clicked replace. This is a huge glitch. How do I fix this?

Macros disappear; not every time I close but often enough!

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 05:06 AM PDT

So the fact that my macros work fine  most of the time after reopening Word  and then suddenly drop out altogethe,r for no apparent reason is curious.  More so when you consider that other templated features like Quick Parts remain in tact after closing and reopening. 
I have copied the macro text out of Visual Basic so at least I have backup.
Its a problem that's been bugging me for years (over several versions of WOrd) and would be grateful if there is a simple solution!

Word 2013 crashes when trying to open file from internet

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 04:31 AM PDT

Hi all,

I am having lots of problems opening files from Outlook. Initially, files would open in protected mode, which was annoying and useless. As soon as I wanted to edit the file, I would click "enable editing" and word would crash. Then I disabled Protected mode for all internet / email files. Now whenever i try to open any word file from any email client, it crashes instantly. Even if I save the file, then through properties "unblock" the file, then try to open it, it still crashes. This basically makes word useless to me as I work from home, so I constantly need to use files "from the internet" (in otherwords, from my colleagues...)

What can I do to prevent this - it is making work impossible for me!

how can I install helvetica font?

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 01:49 AM PDT

I purchased office 2013 only to realise Helvetica is not pre-installed.

Where do I find and install Helvetica font for free? Preferrably free. If it has to be paid please give me the link too.

How do I then install it? Steps to install it.

How about Cambria and Calibri? where do I get these fonts? I do not have previous office installed. Only 2013 office. Will these fonts appear for all office apps-excel, word etc once installed?

Thanks in advance.

Copy exact fill color between shapes and table-cell or paragraph shading

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 01:18 AM PDT

I often need to match colors between of various document elements, including table cells, paragraph shading, and shapes. It's tedious to dig down to the RGB dialog dozens of times so I'm trying to automate it with VBA. However, I can consistently store-and-retrieve colors only between table cells and paragraphs. For shapes, it's always a crapshoot -- sometimes it works, other times I get gray or black, and it doesn't seem to matter which "direction," that is, whether trying to color a paragraph or table cell like an existing shape, or trying to color the shape to match a paragraph or table cell.

 

Clear as mud? Code snippets below:

 

Why do these always work....

 

      MyColor = oCell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor

      oPara.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = MyColor

 

      MyColor = oPara.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor

      oCell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = MyColor

 

but these only sometimes work?

 

      MyColor = oShape.Fill.ForeColor

      oPara.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = MyColor

 

      MyColor = oPara.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor

      oShape.Fill.ForeColor = MyColor

 

      MyColor = oShape.Fill.ForeColor

      oCell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = MyColor

 

      MyColor = oCell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor

      oShape.Fill.ForeColor = MyColor

 

Is there a better way to do this with VBA? These couplets are simplified, of course; in practice I have one macro to "get" the color (storing its value) and run another to apply it to a cell or paragraph or shape that I've selected.


Thanks for any clues.

How do you change the 'Tab after' value for the multi-level numbered list used in the standard Heading Styles?

Posted: 02 Oct 2013 01:03 AM PDT

I have a document with a number of heading styles that have a multi-level list associated with them.

When using some of the heading levels the text is too close to the automatically generated number

2.12 Heading Text

rather than

2.12    Heading Text

On previous versions of Word I have changed this by modifying the Numbering on the heading style. This would have given me the option to select different numbering styles to use and when selecting multi-level I could change all aspects of the list numbering.

In Word 2013 (or possibly earlier) the multi-level list has been split away from the other numbering styles and I can find no way of getting access to the tab to modify the way it works. I can see the value I want to change ('Tab after') in the style summary but can find no way to change it.

I have struggled with this for a couple of days now and no one else in the office can offer any suggestions (this is a team of experienced software engineers who have have over 100 years experience of Word between us!).

Can somebody please tell me how to do what was a relatively simple task in previous versions of this product.

Thank you.

setting a bullet after a tab stop

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:29 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a subtitle written with left alignment, after which a tab-stop takes the cursor to 96pt. At this point, I want to start a bullet list and write some text. However, when I attempt it, the bullet also includes the subtitle written on the left end apart from the text. Normally, I would create a table and write the subtitle in the first column and the bulleted list in the second column. However, I just trashed the table layout and moved to a tab-stop alignment layout. Wondering if I can get the bullet list after the tab stop. Suggestions will be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

Unable to open Word documents--"not responding" error

I have windows 8 and just bought office 365. It will not allow me to open anything. When I try to open a word document it says Microsoft office is not responding and needs to close. I've been working for hours on this problem. I have contacted mircrosoft, Norton security and my HP computer troubleshooter and have spoken with live people and they cannot figure it out.

Century Schoolbook font missing

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 05:07 PM PDT

I have recently installed Office 2010 Home & Business on a new (Win 8) computer. I realized that Century Schoolbook is missing from the fonts.

Several Microsoft sites (including this) say that Century Schoolbook is supplied by Office 2010. How can I obtain this font without having to buy it from Monotype?

Thanks.

Unable to open word documents from library

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 03:36 PM PDT

Hello, everyone.

I am unable to open Microsoft Office Word documents from my computer library and instead have to enter Microsoft Office Word 2010 in order to open the document. If I attempt to open one from any place in my library - documents, music, pictures, videos, downloaded, etcetera - Microsoft Office Word 2010 will appear to open but stop about halfway through the loading process. In other words I can see the top bar and a light blue background, but none of the functions work and a 'document image' or 'paper image' does not appear. I have been dealing with this issue for almost a year and now that I am doing more computer based work it has become a hassle so help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advanced to any responses.
