Office 2010 Home Student edition issue. Cannot make entries on page without headers disappearing.

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:26 PM PDT

Somehow my Office 2010 Home & Student got corrupted. When I open it..the headers don't appear active. I click on HOME and the tabs become active. However...once I try to type on blank page...with the very  first letter key that I hit...the tabs disappear again.

 

Any suggestions or a quick fix?

 

Thanks.

Word Mail Merge Shows the MERGEFIELD tag

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Hi 
  I am using Word 2010 .. trying to create a mailmerge. In the address block, I added an IF condition to suppress a NULL field. When I run the mail merge the NULL field is suppressed but I get this tag MERGEFIELD in the area. Fr eg, 
the merged field (after suppressing the null line looks like this):

John Doe
MERGEFIELD 123 SpringLane
Springfield, CA 93454

Can anyone please tell me how to make the MERGEFIELD caption go away?

Thanks

Microsoft Word 2010 Protected Form

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:28 PM PDT

I have a form that contains a table with 9 columns.  All the fields have Calculate on Exit checked.  The field in the 7th column is a calculation based on what is entered in the 9th column and what is calculated in the 8th column.  The 8th column is a calculation but was not set up as a field.  The amount is calculated based on a number of If statements depending on what was selected in the 1st column which uses a user form because of the 25 limit in a dropdown field.  However I cannot get the calculation to update in the 7th column once the 9th column amount is filled until I tab twice after the 9th column to the next row in the 2nd column.  Why does it not update after I tab upon completion of entering an amount in the 9th column?  I read everywhere that if a form is protected and the fields have Calculate on Exit checked that the fields will automatically update.

How can I leave parts of a word document editable (Ex signature line & check boxes) but not the rest?

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:03 PM PDT

I have created a word document that I need to have only certain parts editable. How do I do that? I have checkboxes throughout the document, but don't want the text to be changed. Also, at the bottom I have information that needs to be editable (adding names & Signature using macros). Any ideas would be great.  Thank you for your time!

The file is in use by another application or user

Periodically, I get a message when downloading a native Word file saying "the file is in use by another application or user"; however, the file downloads and is then available after closing out the message window. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

setting language back to English US

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT

So I'm working on a school project and my keyboard is set to English United States. Then once I got to this certain point in the assignment, every other word I typed came up incorrect. I clicked on spell check to see what was wrong, and my language had switched to French Canadian? I went through every possible settings i could to do with the Language and set my default back to English and when i tried to type a quotation mark it came up as the two arrows pointing left? Now whenever i type something, it comes up wrong, I have to go to spell check, go down to the bottom and switch it to English US, for EVERY WORD! and the language is staying on French Canadian, yet in settings its on English???

How can I contact someone about my version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010?

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 10:17 AM PDT

I purchased Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 for Windows 8, 64 bit Version.  I was given a Product key and the 32 bit Version was installed on my computer.  All subsequent updates that have been installed on my computer are for the 32-bit version.  I have problems exiting the program.  It hangs up and I have to shut down and re-boot or restart my computer to continue my work.  It is annoying to me and I would like to get this problem corrected.  I need a telephone number to call someone to discuss this problem with and fix it.  Thanks. 

Scale to paper size - Property of the document

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:39 AM PDT

I have a document that goes almost to the edge of the paper.  When I try to print it says "The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page"

 

I have learned that I can bypass this message if on the print dialog box I select Scale to Paper size: Letter.

 

My question is, can I make this Scale to Paper size: Letter a property of the document, so that I do not have to choose it every time.  I would rather our users not have to do this every time they  print this document.

 

Thanks,

Run a macro at the end of a merge

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:14 AM PDT

I have  a group of form letters that need different "cleanup" macros to run after each form finishes merging. Each form needs a different cleanup macro. I have been "prompting" the user to run each macro with a {FILLIN "RUN THE SO-AND-SO MACRO WHEN THE MERGE FINISHES" } prompt.  This is clumsy to say the least.


How can I either:


1. Automatically call the appropriate macro at the end of each merge, by somehow assigning the macroname through maybe using some kind of a SET Word field {SET "macroname" "so-and-so"}, then some unknown-to-me command to automatically execute the macro at the end of the merge, or...


2. at least assign the macro name during the merge with some kind of a {SET "SubMacroname" "so-and-so"}. Then have ONE macro that the user can execute (the "CLEANUP" macro). The CLEANUP macro itself would understand the SubMacroname, and execute THAT macro.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Auto fill form

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 08:59 AM PDT

How do I make a form auto fill in specific sections of a form based off the value of one specific section?  Example is, I want to put a drop box with multiple company names and have it auto fill in a representative name, phone number and email from that company.

group images in word

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:57 AM PDT

I'm trying to group TIFF images in Word, but seem to be unable to. I've looked it up a bunch and read that they can't be "in line with text" so I made sure they aren't, but Word still won't let me group them. It allows me to select multiple images, but the "Group" button is greyed out. Help please. 

Can't view macros from file when active in another file.

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:51 AM PDT

Man oh man I feel real stupid asking this question.

I work at many different workstations depending on my daily job functions and all setting are local to that PC, but I often use the same macros at these different places. I store these macros in a file and I use these macros on other files.

My problem is that sometimes I cannot launch these macros from the macro file because I cannot view them when I am in the file I am working on; I can't run the macro if I can't view them.

What setting am I looking for. This is a brain fart question. Please help me get back on track.

word 2013 FileSaveAs macro

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:37 AM PDT

I am setting up my Word 2013 so that I can get document fullpath to display in the titlebar.  I am currently utilizing three normal.dot macros to do this:

Sub AutoOpen()
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSave()
    ActiveDocument.Save
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

A quick test to verify everything would be as follows:
1.  Open NEW document
2.  Click the save button located in quick toolbar.
3.  Since document has never been saved, FileSaveAs macro fires off as expected.  It works!
4.  Select Save As from the File tab to update the filename, just alter the filename as you choose.  Full document path is not displayed in the titlebar as expected.  FileSaveAs macro is not being triggered here.
5.  Now click the save button in quick toolbar to see full document path displayed in toolbar.

Please advise.

regards,
William

Disable warning about loosing formatting when saving plain-text files from Word 2013

Whenever I save a plain-text document in Word, I get a warning prompting me that formatting—even when there is none—will be lost if I save in this format.


How can I disable this message? I know what I am doing, and I am not interested in the formatting for these documents.

Format change is applied to everything

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:19 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. I having this weird problem with Word. Whenever I try to create a document with a lot of text content and I have to change the font style or anything to a particular portion of the content, that change is getting applied across the whole document.

For example, I enter a heading of a document at the top and center align it. I didn't use any Heading Style option. I then increase the font size and make it bold. After that I enter a paragraph of content under the heading. I try to increase the font size of the paragraph by using the short-cut key "CTRL + SHIFT + >". The size increase is getting applied to every other content in the document universally. This is happening only when I use short-cut keys available in Fonts Dialog box.

I heavily use these short-cut keys. Please tell me how I can solve this problem.

Adding protection to a template but not to documents created from template

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Word 2010 and I am trying to add password protection to a template so that someone will not accidentally edit the template. I have done this by adding a password to modify however, when I create a file from the template and save as a read only version every time I open this it prompts me to enter the password. I have also tried to protect the document using the restrict editing function. Is there any way to protect the template from change but allow the user to change the document created from the template?

Thanks

Word & Publisher won't print to rear feed

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 01:56 AM PDT

I have a new Epson WF-3540 printer.  I can't get Word 2010 or Publisher 2010 to print to the rear paper feed.  It just spits out the sheet I place in the rear feed and prints from the default cassette.

It prints fine from OneNote and Excel.  I have contacted Epson about the problem, and they say that since the rear feed does work properly with some programs, the problem is with the software, not with the printer.

I have double-checked the print settings when I try to print from Word or Publisher, and I know I am using the correct settings.

My Office software is up-to-date according to Microsoft Update.

I have seen one other complaint about this problem, in a review on Amazon.  That person was not able to figure it out, either.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I've exhausted all my resources and am hoping someone here can help me.  Thanks in advance.

Styles for TOC and the Navigation Pane

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:19 PM PDT

My endnotes take up over 130 pages. They are numbered separately for my 15 major book sections. I wanted to intersperse the section names before the endnotes for each section. Example: for the Part D endnotes I want a title such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes." (no quotes) This would make the 15 endnote sections visible in the navigation pane so I could jump right to any one. I assigned the proper style to each one, say Heading3, to also make them appear in the TOC. But after assigning the styles I do not see the headings such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes" in the TOC or in the Navigation pane. Is there a way to do this so that it works?

Word 2003 files changed to Word 2007 without my permission

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 07:42 PM PDT

I went to open up files (resume and cover letter) using Word 2003. When I opened up My Documents, i noticed that the file icons were different. Upon opening them, the Word 2007 configuration program launched. I don't have a purchase key, nor do I want one. I'm actually comfortable with Word 2003 (and personally like it better than the new versions). I did not download 2007. How did this happen and can I revert those files back to 2003? I also noticed that some other files are still in 2003, just 4 files in the My Documents converted themselves to 2007.

"error applying transforms" every time I try to open any office file from explorer in Windows 8.1

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT

If I'm using windows explorer, and try to open any Office file (doc, docx, xls, ppt, etc.) I keep getting a box pop up that says "windows installer". about a half second later, that box closes and an error dialog box opens op that always says.  

"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"

I thought of maybe uninstalling Office and reinstalling it, but I can't! It always says at the end of the uninstallation that "the configuration could not be completed". 

This only happened AFTER I updated to 8.1! I have a genuine windows 8.1 machine, running an i7 with 8 gb of RAM. I am running Office 2013.

Please help!
