MS Word 2010 Headers & Footers

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 02:54 PM PDT

Hi MS Community,

Could you please advise me on how I can go about changing the heights of all footers in a word document simultaneously?

I know how to change them individually, it's just a matter of doing them all at the same time so I don't have to go section by section.

I also have about 7 different sections so please advise if this also makes a difference.


Thanks in advance.

Office Applications Crash on Startup

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 02:10 PM PDT

When I attempt to start any Microsoft Office application I receive a "something went wrong" error. If I perform a quick or offline repair then I am able to run office applications on my computer until I restart the computer after which, I experience the same issue again.

Fixes I've already tried:
  • Installing the latest version of DisplayLink as mentioned in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813143
  • Using the fix it tool to check for, and uninstall, any versions of Microsoft Office.
  • Disabling all add-ons after re installing Microsoft Office (I am unable to start Office in safe word without re-installing it either)
  • I do not have Abby Finereader installed.
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you!

Unwanted auto formatting throughout a document.

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 12:29 PM PDT

Okay - I don't mind Word auto-correcting words for me or making my fractions look better. But when I adjust the margins on one figure caption, it shouldn't go through my document and apply the changes to all the figure captions. And when I format a bullet list, it shouldn't change the formatting for all the bullet lists in the document. How do I turn this off! I am spending too much time discovering when this happens and trying to fix it.   This is for Word 2010.

Format changes that make NO sense

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:45 AM PDT

I'm a technical writer who uses Word to produce a variety of documents ranging from 2-150 pages.  My organization has a certain set of styles that are used in all of the documents we publish.  Out of the blue, we started noticing that the headings in the documents were randomly changing, even though the styles themselves were never modified.  Some of the bigger issues are:

  • We have our headings set up for automatic numbering and, after saving a document, the font family/size/style of only the numbering changes.  For instance, a heading that should be Georgia 14, bold italics, will change to Verdana 10, bold.  Not only does this happen in the headings themselves, but it is also changed in the actual heading styles (even though no one has modified the style in any way).
  • After saving a document, some of the heading numbers will turn blue (all text in our documents is Automatic).  Again, when the heading numbers turn blue, the style itself also reflects blue numbering.
  • Word inserts random page breaks throughout the document.  I might scroll through a 50 page document and see NO page breaks, but after saving the document, I'll scroll back through and find multiple pages containing only one or two sentences, and the rest of the text has been moved down to the next page.
  • In a few of our documents, the Heading 1 style has begun to appear with the name "Char," and when applied to any part of the text, behaves very unpredictably (changes to various fonts, sizes, etc. -- not consistent at all).

Any idea what could cause these issues?  They are occuring whether the document is a year old and being updated, or is brand new from a clean template.  It's becoming very time-consuming to fix them, as we often have to correct the issues multiple times before the document saves without any changes occurring.  It's beyond frustrating at this point.

Word Windows Open Partly Off-Screen, How to Repair Placement

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:26 AM PDT

I was using the WIN+RIGHT ARROW shortcut to show some windows side by side. However now whenever I open word documents from Windows Explorer the new window pops up basically 90% off the right side of the screen. I know how to get it back to where I want it to, but I am making multiple small edits to a multitude of documents, and it's hurting my productivity having to move and resize documents each and every time, for hundreds of documents. I want to know how I can reset the default window placement, when it gets out of place.

Please do not respond by telling me I can use the WIN+UP ARROW to maximize, I already know how to do that.

Bug - Print heading and content

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:58 AM PDT

I seem to be having a problem with Word 2013. I have a document that has headings and subheadings. I right click the heading and click "Print heading and content". It then brings up the print menu, and I select "Print". After that, it starts preparing the document for printing and does its thing. Then that bar at the bottom goes away and nothing prints and nothing is added to the print queue. Things I have tried:

  • Attempt on different printer (Same thing)
  • Restart "Printer Spooler" service in Services.msc (Same thing)
  • Restart computer (Same thing)
  • Close all office documents and reopen  (Same thing)
  • Print certain page numbers to same printer (Prints as normal)

Things you might need to know (Let me know if you need anything else):

  • Printers attempted:
  • - HP LaserJet P2055dn
  • - Adobe PDF Printer
  • Word 2013 (15.0.4535.1000) MSO (15.0.4535.1002) 32bit
  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Is Calibri compatible with 2003?

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:57 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2010 to format a bunch of docs that will be widely distributed. I don't know what version of Word they'll use to open them and want to make sure there are no problems.

Should I save them as .doc instead of .docx

What about the fonts? Is it okay to use Calibri - or will it be substituted if the users are opening in v2003?

Thank you.

printed pages don't match screeen

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:11 AM PDT

I am printing an important 175 page document.  However, the printed pages do not mach the Word document on the screen.  For example, there will be three lines of type on page 30 of the screen.  However, when printed, those three lines appear at the bottom of page 29, and therefore page 30 is blank, even though it is numbered at the top.  I checked the entire document in the navigation tiles before printing, and every page on the screen was correct.  Please help!  Thanks.

Home & Office 2013 - Word will not open!!

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 07:58 AM PDT

i have Windows 8 installed on my 5 month old new computer.  I purchased Home & Office 2013 in May 2013.  Downloaded 64 bit version.
I have had several issues such as screen flickering and messages appearing at the top of Office and other applications "not responding".  These messages only last about a second each time.
I now have a problem with Word.  It will not open!  All other applications i H&O open ok
I have carried out the quick fix 5 times and have also carried out a complete fix twice, still it wont open.
The 'blue' window opens to start Word but immediately the error message appears saying sorry, but word has run into an error etc etc etc.
I have deleted a file ABBYY and amended 2 files NVWGF2.UM.DLL which were suggested in a previous email but still no luck.

For the first time I had a window open to suggest opening in safe mode.  I clicked on yes but then the error message appeared again.

I need access to Word so any advice would be appreciated.

Changing Normal Template in Word 2010

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 07:06 AM PDT

I'm running Word 2010 and want to change my normal template but everything I've tried doesn't work.  I specifically don't like the double spacing of llines.  I had it set correctly but a computer glitch caused the normal to reset to the orginal version, and now I can't figure out how to change it back.  I've tried changing it, setting it as default and saving it as a template, but nothing works.  I'm fustrated.  HELP!!!

THIS NEWSLETTER TEMPLATE IS MADDENING

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:45 AM PDT

I am about to lose it. I'm trying to assemble an employee newsletter and can't do any of the things I need to in order to customize it. Why is the 2nd page on this template blank except for a heading? I want to copy the format of a later page OR delete the stupid blank page and cannot seem to do either. 
I also cannot figure out a way to move inserted pictures around once copied onto a page or column. I try to shift them up and down inside the column to no avail. Couldn't the headers be set in a text box that's mobile? I'm having to delete them and insert my own text boxes. This feels like a complete waste of time, and isn't at all user friendly.

Word Documents Printing on half the page

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:36 AM PDT

When I print a Word document it only prints on half the page.  When printed it looks like the left margins was set at 2.5.  When I look at it on my screen it looks normal.  So I figure I have accidentally adjusted some setting for printing Word but I cannot find where I did this.  Other documents print normally on this HP 6500 printer.  I just printed a test document on a different printer and it prints normally. I did a "soft reset" on the HP printer.  Any Thoughts would be much appreciated.  

 

Thanks,

Dates on diarys pages ?

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:29 AM PDT

Hi

How can i make a diary ?

I have 36 pages with three days on each, where clients are supposed to check boxes on whether they have done this or that.

I need to have a macro/script where i specify the start day, and then the macro/script will fill in the date fields in the rest of the document, with ascending dates, i don't know if this is done with bookmarks.

How can this be done in Word 2013 ?

All the best

"Balloons" is greyed out in Word 2013.

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 05:21 AM PDT

I have a document in Word 2013 that's only showing comments in-line.  When I click the "Show Markup" dropdown under the Review tab, the "balloons" option is greyed out - I can't select it so I can show revisions in balloons.  (And, yes, I've also selected "All Markup."  This problem is isolated to two documents sent by another person - all my other documents are fine.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Word dictionary not adding word

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 04:20 AM PDT

Hello,
I was trying to add a new word to word 2007 dictionary, but uselessly. The word I'm trying to add (stageworthy) is still marked as misspelled and no error message whatsoever appears. Word simply does not react at all. I looked at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm
but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Internal Links in MS Word

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 03:53 AM PDT

In Word, how can I link data in the same file, so that if I change the data in one place, the data automatically changes in another place? This is similar to OLE links, except the link is in the same file, not to an external data source. Many thanks!

change normal.dot on office2010 and 2007

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 03:03 AM PDT

Hey all,

We have and issue implementing different templates on company computers, which i hope you can help with :-) we have successfully created custom templates (not normal.dot) and distributed them using a small program written in C#.

First question: Is it wise to push out new templates, or would it be best to maybe change the default folder to a server folder? maybe this could be done using group policies?

Second question: If i choose to push the templates through my little program, could this also be done on the normal.dot file, and do i have to consider any file rights settings?

Graphs change size when updating link in Word

I have link some Excel charts to my Word document. Whenever I update the link, the charts change size and I have to resize them. How can I prevent this from happening?

Why does Word 2010 still indent lists in blank documents based on Normal.dotm, even though I've modified the lists and styles in the Normal.dotm file?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 10:44 PM PDT

The auto-indenting feature of bullets and lists has always frustrated me.  EVERY time you apply a numbered or bulleted list, you've got to set the indents.  I want my lists to be indented at the very left of the page, flush with the rest of the paragraphs. But no, Microsoft insists that you want them indented by 0.63cm and hanging at 1.27cm (WHY 0.63? Why not 0.7? Or 1.0cm? But that's a question for a different session.)  (I know, it's because MS is American and still uses inches etc...)

So I spent some time trying to figure it out, playing with Normal.dotm and the various styles (List paragraph, List Number, List Bullet etc etc).  And finally, when I've got Normal.dotm open (i.e. I'm editing that template file), I get my result: I apply a standard numbered list, and it comes up flush left (i.e. not indented) and hanging at 1.0cm (cos I don't use inches...) and with a tab stop applied at 1.0cm as well - funky stuff!

Pleased with myself (always a fatal thing when the gods of computing are around), I fire up a blank document and press the numbered list button.

My heart sinks.  It's indented at 0.63, hanging at 1.27cm, no tab stop.  For crying out loud!  Why does it work when I've got the actual Normal.dotm file open, but NOT when it generates a new document BASED on Normal.dotm? 

What am I missing, folks?
(Other than an opportunity to sulk and go off and use OpenOffice...) 
(Actually, I'm only missing half that opportunity. I'm definitely sulking.... :)

Font changes when typing Chinese!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:35 PM PDT

I have set my font for Asian characters to MingLiU:

 


 

However, when I type any Chinese character (including space or even hit Enter), the font switches to SimSun (Body Asian).

 


 

I have to select the text and click for the 'Normal' style then it changes to MingLiU. However, I can never type in MingLiU. Is there a way to solve this problem?

 

Also, I have noticed this:

 


 

This is despite me setting the default font as other fonts for both Latin and Asian settings. Is there any way to change the 'theme fonts'??? Thanks a lot!

Find/Replace different word in same place of all sentences.

Trying to use Word 2013 Find/Replace. I have a long list of sentences. like this: x.blahblah(toappend.****('ALABAMA', 'O') The word "ALABAMA" is different in all sentences, but in the same place with all other charaters the same.

How do I recover a word document I accidentally saved over?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 05:53 PM PDT

I'm working on a book and as backup I wanted to save it to a flash drive as well. So I saved it to a simple flash drive. Well, I worked on it some more, saved it in my word document, and then I wanted to save the new copy to my flash drive. So I dragged it over to my flash drive, and clicked on the move and copy option. I thought it was going to move my newest copy over to my flash drive and overwrite my old copy, but instead it saved my old copy (the one that was on the flash drive) over my newest copy (the one I had saved in my documents). Is there anyway I can recover what I accidentally saved over, and why did this happen in the first place?

(I'm using Microsoft word 2007)

AutoComplete with the option to overwrite in Word 2007?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:17 PM PDT

Hi,

 

I have a preotected form where several fields are set to autofill from previous fields in the form. Is there a way to have an option ot override that content. For example, the permanent address on the second page is autofilled from the mailing address on the first BUT the persons permanent address may be different than their mailing. I still want the auto fill since 80% or more cases the address will be the same adress. Unfortunately having a box that says same as above is not feasible. Both sections have to be filled out to be accepted.

 

Thanks!
