Office365 Start Screen Slow (Not Responding) -- Loading templates?

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:16 PM PDT

Hi,

Whenever I open word/excel/powerpoint/etc, it takes approximately 30seconds+ to load (on a SSD).  The application will not respond during this period, but I can see spinning loading indicators on the templates screen.

I can bypass this by setting Office to skip load screen and start a new blank document instead, however the loading pause will occur the first time I press File.

Office never used to do this, but has started doing it recently.  Possibly ever since upgrading to Windows 8.1, but that may be coincidence.  I have tried re-installing as well as doing an online repair.

Is anyone else having this issue?  Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks!

How to delete an unwanted SkyDrive account

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:02 PM PDT

I mistakenly created a Skydrive from Office 365 Word and want to delete it.

I created a Skydrive account using Windows 8.1 and want to retain that account.

In Word both Skydrive accounts show up and that will be confusing.

Separator Line for Endnotes

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:36 PM PDT

I am an on-line college history instructor, and this is the fist time that my students are having to use endnotes to produce their Term Papers.  When they insert their first endnote, Word's automatically placing a separator line above the endnote and they're not able to remove the darn thing.  How do we set up Word so that the separator line is removed permanently when we insert the first and subsequent endnotes.  Thank You for your help.

Spacing of a Text Box, { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I am working with a Word Merge document with 566 merge fields.  I am trying to get the layout so that this document looks nice in Print Layout View for printing as well as Web Layout View for sending an email.

I have a particular text box that is positioned well in the Print Layout View but not in the Web Layout View.

In the Print Layout View, it is at the top of the page, and it is on it's own line with the body of the document starting immediately after the text box.  This is how I like it.  In the Web Layout View, the text box and the body of the paragraph share lines.

The only way I have gotten the spacing (mostly) corrected in both views is to position the text box "In Line with Text," but this causes the text box to appear as { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT } when I toggle merge fields using Alt+F9.  I have merge fields in the text box that I can no longer see the Field Codes when I toggle the codes because the entire text box is summarized as { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.

I like the alignment, but I don't like (and don't really understand) the { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.  I have two other text boxes that I am also having issues with alignment and getting stuck with { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.

There there ways to set the alignment without { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }?

I have several macro embeded Word templates that I Password Protect  These same templates contain Content Controls.  I need the users to be able to embed object files such as .pdf, .xlsx, .docs, .jpg, etc. into a Content Control field if possible.  I have been unuccessful at creating a template that permits such.  I cannot embed "hot" links either, only the "raw" text..

Deleting Entire Pages With Content In MS Office Word 2010

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 12:18 PM PDT

How do I delete entire pages filled with detritus in a Word 2010 document?  Let's say I have a 50-page document and I want to delete the last 13 pages which are filled with junk.  Or, let's say I want to delete just pages 14 and 39 and have the document sew itself back together closing the holes where the pages were removed?

 

How do I do that?

Copying a tab character in a Word document to paste into a application form to populate and navigate form fields.

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 11:56 AM PDT

I know this question may be nonsensical, but here it is.

I want to copy a tab with a string before and after the tab from a Word Document so that it will enter a string into a form field then tab to the next field and enter another string. The form is another application

 Is this even possible ? I know there could be other solutions, but I am interested to know if there is a way to do what i am describing using Word.

What am I doing wrong?  How do I get it back to "Normal?"

"Microsoft Word has stopped working" error message

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 09:28 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Office 2010. Lately it has been randomly shutting itself down while I'm in the middle of working on a document. The following error message flashes on the screen "Microsoft Word has stopped working" then the program shuts down. I lose all my work. It does not save a recovery file. This happens about twice a month. At other times, it does save a recovery file. This particular issue appears to be random (and rather sinister I might add). Suggestions on how to fix this?  Kathie

VB macros hanging on not really open files

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 09:22 AM PDT

I do quite a bit of macro programming that includes copying and moving folders with documents in them.  Every once in a while (not every time but often enough to disrupt my work) a macro will crash with an error message stating that a certain procedure could not be accomplished because a document is open.  In fact, there is no document open in any application; however I notice when looking in the specified folder with Windows Explorer that there is a hidden *.tmp file that, I believe, Word considers to be open (even though it is not actually open).  I have experienced this on and off for years with VB programming in Word macros, and usually I can set things up so that it does not happen, but my question is, is there a procedure to programmatically clear *.tmp files from memory when there are no actual documents open, or is there a procedure to test to see if there is a *.tmp file being processed by Word?  Usually if I close Word, reopen it, and run the macro again, it works without a hitch, so I'm pretty sure it is related to Word hanging onto that *.tmp file even after it is closed.

Office Docs Not Showing Up In Date Modified Searches

I am not sure why this is happening but I am sure it is very frustrating as the search capability is unreliable.

Set default options when converting word into pdf

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT

Hello,
I am using windows 7, and Office 2013.
Is there any way that we can default options on creating pdf's from word documents?
We often use images in word docs, then create pdf, and when you view the final pdf, it comes up with a little description when you hover over the image, or even the file path of the original image. I have found a way of removing this: when you create the pdf from word, click options, then untick document structure tags  for accessability. Also unticking the document properties seems to help. Is there any way that I can set these as default unticked, because it would save me a lot of time!
Thanks.

eps files

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 08:13 AM PDT

I often have to edit Word documents for publication that may contain eps files as illustrations. This seems to have become a problem since I moved to Windows 8 - I can no longer view these files in any document, or with any app. I don't know why this is no longer supported - or is there an extra app I need to download to view the files?
Can anyone help me?

Problem with page numbering when inserting a cover page

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 07:10 AM PDT

I have a template that contains the following in the footer to give me page x of y page numbering:

{PAGE \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT} of {NUMPAGES \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT}

This works fine until I insert a cover page (using the Insert->Cover Page option).  In my case I want the cover page to page 1 (but the cover page shouldn't show the numbering) and the total number of pages should be the total number of pages in the document including the cover page.

To illustrate the problem better - I can create a document based on my template that contains (say) 5 pages - at this point the page numbering is correct so I get 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc.  If I then insert a cover page, the numbering stays the same so the total number of pages still shows as 5 instead of 6 and page 1 still shows as 1 instead of 2 etc.

If I right click on the field before I insert the cover page, Format Page Numbers shows it is set as 'continue from previous section'.  However, once I've inserted the cover page, doing the same thing shows Format Page Numbers set as 'start at 1'.

I can obviously manually get around the problem by changing the Format Page Numbers option to 'start at 2', however my users are unlikely to remember to do this.  Is there any way I can set the page numbering so that it automatically updates the page numbering if a cover page is inserted?

TIA

My Equation Change Format after Saving

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT

I don't know what happen with word in this 2013. After my equations turns into unknown symbols last June (still using Word 2010), I uninstall Office 2010 and installs the new Office 2013. Then now, my equations just going insane again. It changes formatting after each savings! It messes up my vectors, del, nablas, and everything, where I deliberately applied bold and italic and upright fonts. After saving and reopening, those all changes into bold-italic fonts. How can I fix those nasty thing?

Thanks Community for answering.

Font problem in Word 2013

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 04:20 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I've got a font named - geo_times (please download this font from here: http://fonts.ge/ka/download/font/5/Geo-Times). When I was typing text with this font in MS WORD 2003/2007/2010 it worked great, but in MS WORD 2013 I can't type some characters with this font because MS Word 2013 is replacing them (symbols) with other ones. 
I even tried INSERT/SYMBOL menu, but without success. The problem occurs when I'm trying to type ALT+0192 combination. Actually I have problems with the symbols in the range 0192-0228.
Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

Word 2010 doesn't track moves

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:30 AM PDT

I checked support and forums:  I am not using compatibility mode, and I tried to drag & drop a paragraph as suggested in Article 920841.  Nevertheless, the move is recorded as a deletion and insertion, thus any changes I make to the "inserted" paragraph will not be tracked as a change.

 

Any remedies?  Thanks.

Mail Merge from Access - numbered bullets

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:14 AM PDT

I have an Access application where I allow users to select contacts to create a mail merge, using a pre-prepared template. The contacts could be email or paper recipients. The Word template contains numbered bullets within the text. The numbers are set to start afresh, not continue from previous. I am getting the following results-

1. If I run the mail merge from Word with the option to edit documents, the numbered bullets are ok for each contact

2. If I run from within Access, the email recipient's bullet numbers are fine. If I choose to print (destination 1), rather than create a new document, the bullet numbers are fine. However, if I choose to create a new document (destination 0) then bullet numbers will increment for each new contact - so what starts out as bullets 1, 2 and 3 for the 1st contact becomes 4, 5 and 6 for the 2nd contact, and so on.


Appreciate any thoughts on this. My preference was to create a new document so that the user can check it before it is printed, but editing this for over 100 recipients can be a bit tiresome!


The application could be used from a variety of Office versions. The Mail merge code is

With myWordDoc.MailMerge
       .OpenDataSource Name:= _
           DataSource, ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _
           AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _
           WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
           Format:=0, _
           Connection:="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=WorkbookFolder & DataSource;Mode=Read;Extended Properties=""HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";J", _
           SQLStatement:=mySQL, SQLStatement1:="", SubType:=1
         .Destination = myDestination
         .MailAddressFieldName = myRecipient
         .MailSubject = myTitle
         .SuppressBlankLines = True
            With .DataSource
                .FirstRecord = 1
                .LastRecord = -16
            End With
         .Execute Pause:=False
End With

Automatically filled forms/templates

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 11:40 PM PDT

Is it possible to create forms or templates that allow you to populate several sections with the same information at the same time?  I think I've seen this before but I can't remember where.

Do I need Office 365 and if so which package?

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 10:22 PM PDT

Greetings,

I am a freelance editor. I work with Office 2010 on a desktop PC. I use Word 2010 (a lot) to edit documents and refer versions with tracked changes back to my clients. I use Excel to log workflow and invoicing. I use Outlook to manage my correspondence, contacts and tasks. I have my own website and email addresses that are linked to it. I do not employ any staff permanently but pass documents around freelancers for editing.

I will be away from my office for 3 weeks from the end of November and need to keep editing work. Previously when travelling I have used a laptop with Office 2010 installed. Now I have bought a tablet+keyboard combo running Windows 8.  I need to receive bulky documents by email , edit them and track changes, and email them out.

I cannot figure out how I get a fully functioning version of Office working on my tablet. I am not certain that Office 365 does all that I need it to. It is not enough to be able to read documents, as I need full editing capability. 

Can anyone offer me clear guidance in layman's terms?

Thanks,

Andrew.
