Microsoft Word - Office 2010 Arial 12 point font changes size with color

Microsoft Word - Office 2010 Arial 12 point font changes size with color

Office 2010 Arial 12 point font changes size with color

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 02:37 PM PDT

Hi,

I have noticed that the "n" is narrower if you use a theme color for Arial 12 point font and the zoom is at 100%.

It is easy to demonstrate.

Type the word "Acknowledge" 4 times once per line. So they are lined, vertically.

Now change the color of the first and last word to a theme color.

Change the second and third word to a standard color.

See the width between the "n" and "o" are different?

If you zoom in it disappears. Make a screen shot and paste it into Paint, them zoom and you can see it is real.

I see it because the word, compared to other words near it, looks like Ackn owledge

Odd

 

Regards,

Mark

 

 

 

How to disable add-ons in safe mode

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 02:36 PM PDT

In Office 2013, Word, Excel and Outlook stops working when I open them. I have read the advice to disable add ons in safe mode to remedy this. I have tried to do this but it won't let me disable add ons in safe mode, stating only the administrator can do this. I'm the only user of this laptop and, as far as I can work out, am the administrator. I'm using Windows 8. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks in advance.

How to get radio buttons to work in word 2010 template

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 02:25 PM PDT

I have created a template in Word 2010 with radio buttons.  But when testing the ability of a user to click on the appropriate buttons, there is something wrong.  Clicking the radio button in the second question unclicks the radio button that was selected in the first question.  How can I fix this?

figures based on sections of document

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 01:13 PM PDT

I understand that when inserting figures and tables into a document, they can be inserted as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3.... consecutively from front to end of the document.  I also understand that I can "include the chapter' number to the title, so depending on the 'chapter or section', the figure appears as:  Figure 2-1, 2-2.... Figure 5-1, 5-2 etc.  Where a document has multiple headings like 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1 etc, is there a way to have the figure include the sub-section?  Example:  In section 3.24.1 any figures dropped in would reflect... 3.24.1-1, 3.24.1-2 etc?

 

Also, while you can include the chapter number in the figure title, I'm still a little at a loss as to how you use the "Chapter starts with style...." (Heading 1 athru Heading 9).  I have always left this box alone and not changed from Heading 1..... what do you get in the way of numbering if you choose a different heading.  And I understand that any selection in the window affects the entire document, not an individual figure/table or section of the document.

 

Can someone shed some light on the subject?

 

My thanks for all your assistance.  Regards - Lenny33

Word 2010 vba Find/Replace Problems

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 10:25 AM PDT

I have a recurring "Import Word to Excel" task that I do manually weekly and would like to automate with VBA the insertion of tabs for certain spaces.


I get ~200 lines of data in 2010 Word files that I need to import into Excel 2010. My problem is that the data is space delimited and I need to use Word to find and only replace certain spaces (most but not all) with tabs. I need to find the first digit ("^#") in a line, then backward two spaces, then replace this and the next 6 spaces with tabs (^t"). The end of each line needs some space unchanged, but if I can do this, I think I can continue on my own.


I have 2 lines of Example Data below and below that Word 2010 VBA code that I have created.


I get it to work occasionally but usually no. It seems the backward search after finding the first "^#" does not work most of the time. 


It may be problems with spaces. What is the exact space character that should be used? Or it may be that I don't understand the find and how the selection changes after find? Or whatever?


I also cannot step through my VBA and see the cursor all the time. I don't understand why or what to set/do?


I would appreciate help in solving this problem.


Thank you.


Example Data

Description of XXX xxx 11 a+ 123 456 789 Supporting Data A+ 0.9 P

Description of YYY yyy 18 b- 981 654 321 More Supporting Date B- 0.75 Q


Sub test_TabAdd()
Selection.HomeKey unit:=wdStory
Selection.EndKey unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Execute Findtext:="^#", MatchWholeWord:=False, Forward:=True
Selection.Find.Execute Findtext:=" ", MatchWholeWord:=False, Forward:=False
Selection.Find.Execute Findtext:=" ", MatchWholeWord:=False, Forward:=False
Selection.Text = "^t"
For i = 1 To 7
    Selection.Find.Execute Findtext:=" ", MatchWholeWord:=False, Forward:=True, Replacewith:="^t"
Next i
End Sub

AutoRecover location is empty

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 09:37 AM PDT

I have "Save AutoRecover information every" 10 minutes.  Keep the last autosaved version if I close without saving

AutoRecover file location:  c:\users\userid\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\Word.  When I close a unsaved file I do receive a

message that says if I choose not to save the file, I may use Microsoft Auto Recover feature to get a temporary copy of this file. 

This does not work.  I even changed it to the default local path that it took me to first - no change - no file was saved.  I changed the time to 2 minutes to see if that would help.  It did not.  Can anyone tell me why these file are not being created?

Cannot download Office documents

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 08:51 AM PDT

Ever since downloading Windows 8.1 RT on my Surface, I cannot download online files from websites like BlackBoard with usernames and passwords. I can download files from emails and from the internet in general, but when the website requires security information (username and password) it will not open for me. I have Office 2013. When I try to download the files, Word/PPT starts to open, then comes up with a box saying "Connecting to blackboard.uc.edu. Please enter your credentials." BlackBoard is asking for my username and password (although I am already logged in online). When I type in my username and password, it comes up with "downloading https://blackboard.uc.edu______.docx" (for example), and sits there for awhile before asking me again for my username and password. When I type them in again, it then comes up with "Sorry, we couldn't open https://blackboard.uc.edu___.docx."


I don't know if this is a problem with Explorer (I know it says Firefox on the post, but I am actually using Explorer) or with Office or with Windows, but I know it's not a problem with the documents or with the website because all my classmates can open them. I am guessing it is an issue with Windows since I never had this problem before downloading the 8.1 RT update. How can I fix this?


Thanks!

numbering problems in word 2010: headings and tables

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 08:09 AM PDT

greetings!

i'm having numbering problems in word 2010.

here's what i'd like:
- heading 1: text, but no number (i'd like to have "chapter 1", etc, in the header, and then just the name of the chapter as heading 1, such as "my first chapter") [1]
- all other headings numbered, eg "1.2.3 my heading 3"
- tables numbered as chapter#.table# (same for figures, etc)

here's what i'm getting:
1: heading 1 with number preceding the text (such as "1 my first chapter"), not what i'd like; numbers of tables etc are just fine.
2: heading 1 without number preceding the text (just like  i'd like, see above);
2.1 if i do this by manually deleting the number, numbers of tables etc are numbered 0.1, 0.2, etc.  all heading numbers, as well as toc entries, look good, though!
2.2 if i do this via the multilevel list (number style for this level: none) everything is wrong: table numbers still 0.1; all headings and toc, missing level 1 numbers entirely (not surprising).

i'm sure there must be a way of getting what i'd like, i'm just too thick to find it (and, believe me, i've tried!).
your assistance would be very much appreciated.

cheers,
pedro

[1] i have no blank lines in the heading 1 text, it's just one single line with text, with space before/after set in the paragraph style.

Word 2010 Macro to list if there are modified styles (+) in a document.

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 07:59 AM PDT

I am trying to create a macro, using VBA, that will list if a modified style is in a document. For example Nomal + Bold. I know these can show up in the Styles pane, so there must be some way to find them. Does anyone know how to find them through VBA?

When entering a new comment, the cursor does not always position at the beginning of the new comment in the Revision Pane.

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 07:56 AM PDT

Rather, it displays at the beginning of the first comment in the Revision Pane. If the cursor does appear in the newly created comment, it does not move along as you type.  Is there a setting to change this?

Office2007 Word Template Standardization and distribution

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 07:52 AM PDT

We're a k-8 non-profit school.

We've got about 300 workstations.

We're running Windows 7 x64 and Office2007

It's come to my attention that the default template currently being used on every workstation is not correct.

I'm looking for a way to modify this template (normal.dotm?) and distribute it to all users on all workstations.

We use Active Directory and the Dell KACE for systems management.

I can't seem to find documentation on achieving this.  I suspect it's not an unusual scenario.

Office is already installed. We need to make a new default template that everyone uses.  This template needs to be the default one used when a simple "File->New" word document is created (In other words, it's not acceptable to have to try to  get a bunch of kindergarten children to understand choosing "File->new->From template->ourothertemplate.doc".

We need to deploy the template remotely, silently, and network wide.  The deployment and usage of the template should not require any intervention from the end users.

Appendix Page Numbering Issues

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 07:34 AM PDT

Any other time, this would work; today? Not so much. I have Heading 7 (working in Word 2003) set as Appendix A. When I set the pages to be A-1, A-2, etc., it has always worked when setting the numbering to match Heading 7. Well, today, my pages are reading as B-1, B-2, etc. Don't know why it's starting at B when I have the heading set to start at A, and it's driving me crazy! I've swapped out my Heading 7 to that of my main template, but that's not working, either. Help!!!

*Update*: Finally got Heading 7 to start at A (at least that's what I see), but the page number still starts w/B-1 vs. A-1. *heavy sigh* I HATE Word!

Opening Word 2010 document in Word 365 and saving without any change, changes the contents (position of picture) of my document

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 06:01 AM PDT

Unforturnately I'm again experiencing problems with Office 365.

I had created invoices in Word 2010 and wanted to reuse these for future customers, but just opening these with Word 365 and saving them with a different name, changes the contents (position of a background picture).

What's a solution for this?

Print a barcode

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 05:00 AM PDT

I will display and print a Barcode on each page in a Word Document, depending on the page and section it is displayed.
How can i achieve this? Im familiar with Barcode Mechanics and can tranform this to a logical image, but

-what is the preferred way to implement this? Active X DLL, COM, ATL (i know it will be hard...)
 (Link to a sample to display and print anything with a component like this would be great..)
-can i access the word (2010) dom of the current page from this component?

Any hint to a useful direction highly appreciated

Word 2013 - Heading 1 and 2 missing in Styles

Word keeps going 'Microsoft Office has stopped Working' "Microsoft office is trying to recover your information'

Posted: 24 Oct 2013 01:53 AM PDT

Recently, I bought the new Microsoft office 2013. Ever since then, whenever I use Microsoft word, after a while (normally 2mins-5mins) it suddenly has a pop-up saying "Microsoft Word has stopped working and then after that 'Microsoft word is trying to recover your information. This happens every single time I go on. It seems to have a timer or so. Once I used Word very quickly for pictures and it didn't crash. 

Can Anyone please tell me why this is so?
And can anyone fix this for me please?

Will Be extremely grateful.

phonetic guide in Word 2013 is not working after upgrade to Windows 8.1

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 11:59 PM PDT

I am using Window 8 English version with Office 2013 Eng.

 

I have installed the Traditional Chinese and Simplied Chinese langauge pack in Windows 8.

 

The Phonetic guide feature in Word 2013 is working fine before upgrading Windows 8.1. I can add the Chinese pinyin on top of Traditional Chinese characters.

 

After upgrading to Windows 8.1, I need to install the Windows langauage pack again manually. But the phonetic guide in Word 2013 is not working for pinyin.

 

I found a similar post here. It suggests to install the langauage pack for Office. But it is a chargable item. I would like to double whether it is a must. Because the phonetic guide feature is working fine in Windows 8 + Office 2013 (without office langauge pack).

 

Please advise.  

Word 2010: can't find macros that used to work in personal templates

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 10:33 PM PDT

I created several templates in Word 2010 Home and Student that contained custom macros, and they used to work fine in all the documents that I created based on those templates. Recently, I haven't been able to use or even find any of those macros when I create a new document based on those same templates. The icons are still in the ribbon but when I click on them, I get the message "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings." I have tried enabling all macros in the trust centre--nothing. I haven't been able to copy the macros across using the organiser because I can't find them anywhere, not even in the old documents (or the templates they were based on) where the custom macros definitely worked before. Very frustrating.  Can you please help?

Office 365 Syncing Issue after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 07:51 PM PDT

Hello,


I recently upgraded three of my devices to Windows 8.1.  One is an HP Pavilion desktop.  One is an Asus Vivotab Smart tablet, and the other is a Lenovo Ideapad laptop.  Both the tablet and the desktop had Office University 365 installed on them before I upgraded to Windows 8.1. 


After upgrading to Windows 8.1, I noticed that my tablet and desktop files stopped syncing with Skydrive.  I can still save my files to Skydrive with the save as feature, but I have to do this every time because the save icon (within an office product like Excel or Word) no longer supports the sync feature.  In addition, the files do not automatically update any longer when they are edited on another computer, and this has caused me to have multiple versions of the same file.  Also, when I try to edit a Skydrive file from the Skydrive app, my device has to download the file. 


I do not know what is causing the problem, but I suspect it has something to do with Office already being on the device before upgrading to Windows 8.1.  Unlike my other devices, my laptop's Office programs work perfectly and still support sync.  I think it is because Office University 365 was installed on the device after I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  There is another weird thing that is happening on my desktop.  All the Word files have lost their "Word" icons, and have a white document icon instead.  I don't know if this is caused by the problem I am having.


I would really like to get this issue resolved.  I am currently using Dropbox instead of Skydrive.  I would like to switch back to Skydrive because I have been very happy with Skydrive in the past, and it has been my favorite cloud drive.  I look forward to your response.

How can I remove background color in a table row without deleting the borders?

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT

I'm working with some financial tables in Word 2010. The tables have alternately striped rows and there are also total and sub-total rules that are cell borders. I need to remove the background colors in the striped rows, however, when I do that the borders are deleted as well. How can I remove the color, but keep the borders there?

I'm removing the background color by selecting the table, opening Borders and Shading, Shading Tab, Fill dropdown menu, and selecting No Color.

Thank you.
