When I open Microsoft Word, all the I tunes are listed ahead of my documents. I don't know how they got mixed into my documents and how to get them out.

Can't change default window size of word documents

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 02:42 PM PDT

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!

When I open a NEW Word document - even if I already have one open - the size of the Word window won't change. Windows used to copy your last window size. I miss that!

This is not about page sizing - it is about how the window appears on my desktop. I just bought a computer (October 2013) and am sussing out Windows 8 with no small degree of annoyance. I just now purchased Microsoft Office 2010. And I'm taking too much Excedrin today!

Is it hopeless? Can I change the default window size for documents? And I'm going to guess it will be the same for Excel and PowerPoint. Come to think of it, the Internet windows are the same. I like to stretch these things from top to bottom of the screen and take up .5 to .75 of the screen with each. It is how I work. But EVERY kind of window I open does not go to the bottom of the screen, so I'm not sure if this is a Windows 8 thing or both that AND Office.

Grumble...

in VBA, test if the selection is collapsed

Selection.text always has a length of at least 1, even when it is collapsed, so how can I test if the selection is collapsed?

Word 2007 is Crashing while transfer from one 2007 document to another.

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 12:14 PM PDT

I have created a new template for our documentation at work with all new styles. We are in the process of coping and pasting our older documents into the new template. After about 5 hours of working on a document both files lock up. I am trying to figure out if this is a symptom of the new template or just the amount of time we are spending coping and pasting between the 2 documents. Time working on the document without closing is the only variable that the 3 people working on this seem to have in common. I have checked all the options and they are the same on both documents. I also have the options set so that the new document does not allow any formatting to come over from the old document. I have the auto save set at 10 minutes and are making sure the people save as often as they can. Has anyone ever had this problem or am I on the right track as far as time working on the document. I am about ready to go live to the general work force with this but don't want to until I am sure this is not a bigger problem than just closing out the document every couple of hours.

 

Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

How to Keep Parent/Child Hierarchy in Two-Column TOC

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 11:14 AM PDT

I have a two-column table of contents that shows two levels of the heading hierarchy (Heading 1 and Heading 2). Word wants to make both TOC columns the same length regardless of whether there is a parent element at the bottom of the left column that has an indented child element at the top of the right column.

When I backspace the child element from the top of the right column to bring it back under the parent at the bottom of the left column, Word inserts the child immediately to the right of the parent in the left column--not below it. Word also puts the dot leader for the child on a line by itself in the left column below the line containing the parent, parent page number, and child headings. If I press ENTER to try to push the child below the parent in the left column, Word pushes the child element right back to the top of the right column.

Is there a manual step that allows me to keep child TOC elements with their parents when they appear by themselves at the top of the second column?

2013 equivalent to 2007 Office button>Send to> Email

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 10:55 AM PDT

Where has the funtionality of emailing a copy of document from within Word been moved?  Or waht fucntioanlity has replaced this feature?

 

In 2007, I used Office Button>Send to> Email Client.

 

 

Following release of Office 2007, there was MS website which provided a cross reference bewteen XP/2003 and 2007 features.  Is anything similar availabel between 2007 and 2013 at this time?

 

Thanks in advance.

vb Message Box code differences between Word 2003 and Word 2010

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 10:19 AM PDT

I have various small Message Box snippets that I used in Word 2003 stored.... As written (simply) in 2003, they work fine in the Word 2010 environment where the form still uses 'form fields' w_protection, however, I tried tweaking the wording for a new project in Word 2010 and while the Message box appears, the text in the code is not there?  What do I not understand in the new world order?

 

Sample:  2003 code to unlock a protected Word form.

 

Sub UnprotectDocument()

   ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="password"

   MsgBox "The document is now unlocked."

End Sub

 

I use this short macro to unlock the forms I work on to update or make changes...  Now, I wish to allow our users to access MailMerge and still maintain document protection upon completion of the mail merge. I want/need to keep things as simple as possible and I have seen some sample macros by Microsoft and MVPs, but they are way to involved... I wisyh to Unlock the document to allow users to set the file up for and run a mail merge.  Once completed, and the user closes the file.... I have added an AutoClose macro to re-lock the file   I set up the following in a Word 2010 document:

 

Sample:  2010 code to unlock a protected Word form (read-only) format

 

Sub MailMerge()

  ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="password"

  MsgBox "Initiate Mail Merge Setup."

End Sub

 

Only difference is the 'message' itself.  When I click on the button I placed in the QAT for this purpose, the Box appears but the 'text' is missing.  What's wrong? 

 

Additional question, and it may be the crux of the matter... I am migrating many of the company's forms to a read-only format w_protection.  This is allowing the user to access almost all of the programs functions (except track changes, mail merge and compare so far, there may be more, but for our employees use, they can access the functionality they need.)  I have noticed that my 'unlock' button (from 2003) does not work or hangs and I have to click on the 'Stop protection' button, and type in the password.  I have to do the same when re-locking as my '2003 re-protect' button does not work.  There must be some difference in the read-only and form field protection..... 

 

Any clarification or direction to such information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards Lenny33

 

 

 

Show My Templates as default when choosing File, New command

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 09:26 AM PDT

When I choose the File, New command, Word 2010 displays the Available Templates of which there are a multitude. Each time, I have to click on My Templates to choose the template I wish to use.

 

Is there a way of displaying the contents of My Templates by default? I realise it's only one extra double-click but I never use any of the other options because I have all my templates already set up so it's annoying that I have to wade through all the superfluous options. I never use the Office.com templates so I don't need to see them.

 

Many thanks.

How to print showing the balloons in Track Changes/Word 2010

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 09:08 AM PDT

I hope someone call help me!  I am using Word 2010 and I have my Track Changes set to show the revisions in balloons.  However, when I go to print, the printed document DOES NOT show the balloons!  I have done a lot of searching on the internet and found somewhere where someone else was having that same problem and the forum they posted on (I don't remember where it was, but it wasn't here) didn't have an answer.  The very strange thing is if you change the size of the document to "legal" (instead of what it should be, which is "letter"), then it DOES show the revisions in the balloons off to the side.  Also, while playing around with it yesterday, I finally DID get it to print correctly showing the balloons, but now it is back to NOT showing the balloons.  Can someone please help me????  This is very very strange and I'm thinking it may be a glitch in Word 2010.

FIND in Word 2010 not working properly

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 08:40 AM PDT

For FIND, I enter <Ctrl> F. The navigation pane opens, and I start typing what I want to find. Before I finish, the cursor moves back into the document and the rest of the word I want to find is typed there. Find and Replace works correctly, however.

Unable to get rid of add-ins in ribbon tab

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 08:35 AM PDT

We have a third paty add-in called Profile Info, which interacts with our DMS to insert the document id number on Word documents.

I have a ProfileInfo tab on my ribbon, which works properly.  Unfortunately, in my ribbon, there is an add-ins tab that includes the following two items - both of which are grayed out (pic attached); and in the customize ribbon pane, the Add-Ins tab contents is also grayed out.

 

I've gone to Word/Options/Add-Ins expecting to find three instances of ProfileInfo, and after looking at all menu items, I only see one instances, which is what I expect to see.

 

Dilemma is this:  How can I get rid of the Add-Ins tab when it won't allow me to. 

 

WORD 2013 crop picture

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 07:24 AM PDT

I am trying to dynamically crop a picture by pasting it inside of an object. Once pasted inside the object shape I want to be able to easily reposition and change the crop by scaling the photo.

 

I have seen this done on a stock template in the Microsoft library. Search under news letter and select the one pictured here. Click on the violin photo and scale it at will. You will notice that it crops dynamically via the shape and I cant figure out how they did this.

 

 

how should i create this form?

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 07:03 AM PDT

I am trying to create a form along with a sub-form that basically, reads off the telephone number from a child table, either within the form itself or within a sub-form or some kind of popup. 

Within the table I have set the value for TelephoneID to =[ContactDetail_Telephone]![TelephoneNumber].  
ContactDetail.ID is linked to ContactDetail_Telephone.fkContactID (many)

How can I do this?
Would you like a copy of the database?

Printing track changes - only pages with changes

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:39 AM PDT

Is there a way to print only pages with track changes?

 

I understand how to use the "print markup" and other print commands, but there does not seem to be an option to print only pages with changes.

 

Thanks in advance!

Opening new Word file restores other Word files

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 06:30 AM PDT

Hello,

Please help. This problem stopped happening when I upgraded to MS Office 2007, but it is happening again.

I usually have multiple word documents open. Say I minimize one, or one gets buried under other windows, as often happens. 

If I open a new document, the last MS Word file that I touched will restore to the top before the new file opens. 

This messes up the order of the windows, and restores files I have minimized for a reason. It is very frustrating. I am using Windows7 Professional.

Thank you for your help

Word 2013 Communicating with Server 2003

Posted: 04 Oct 2013 02:41 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

 

I'm running an application on my local machine (Win 7 Pro 64) and have recently installed Office 2013.

 

The application is a case management system that lives on Windows Server 2003.

 

I guess when it auto generates documents, the server and my machine communicate to open up Word with the content already filled.

 

However, Word doesn't open at all.

 

Is there an issue communicating between Office 2013 on my machine and the server?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Main index entries repeating

Posted: 03 Oct 2013 04:19 PM PDT

I have a lengthy index. Most of it is fine. A couple sections are repeating the main entry above each sub-entry. To trouble shoot the problem, I created an simple index entry in a different color, basic body text style, and pasted it on four different pages. Four page numbers should have come up (in red) for the main and identical subheadings. Instead, I have four separate entries.

I am posting my problem under Dydoria's question because I hoped by pursuing how to do it, I could undo it.

What I discovered is the problematic index sections are listing by page number rather than alphabetically. There is no code in the entry to define that. If there could be a hidden code or keystroke somewhere else in the document, I need to know what it is so I can look for it and eliminate it.

By the way, these sections worked once, then went haywire as described above.
