Controlling Image Width Using DPI in Word 2010

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:51 PM PDT

Word does not seem to respect the DPI property of screen shot images I create in my graphics program (SnagIt). In other programs, such as Adobe FrameMaker and MadCap Flare, I can decide ahead of time what size I want my images to be by setting the DPI in SnagIt. Then, when I import them, they appear with the width that corresponds to this basic formula: DPI = Pixels / Desired Width.

For instance, if I have an image that is 400 pixels wide, and I need it to appear as a 2 inch wide image in my document, I can set the DPI to 200 in my graphics software (200DPI = 400pixels/2").

In Word, the "100%" option under  Size and Position > Scale > Width seems to be 96 DPI. Is there a way I can get Word to simply use the DPI of the image so it displays at the width I'd expect, following the formula of DPI = Pixels / (Desired Width in Inches)?

document access problems-"location unavailable"

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:30 PM PDT

I have tried opening documents stored in 'My Documents' or 'Documents' from my desktop. I get the error message: "C:\Users\my name\Documents refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network., etc." I've tried the suggestions offered  and all checks out. The end of the message says "If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to another location." I did not adjust anything, move anything, and find this most frustrating. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Envelopes don't print correctly

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 11:35 AM PDT

Using Word 2007 and Vista Professional and HP Printer. #10 Envelopes won't print the return address or send to address in the correct position. They print as if on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper in landscape mode with the send to address in the middle of the page and the return address in the upper left corner. Have checked and re-checked all settings but can't seem to fix. Has to be something simple as has worked fine in the past. Printing from a new Word doc and not saving the envelope to the document.

Table of Contents includes unwanted header

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 08:06 AM PDT

I created individual sections of a major document, and then added all of the sections into one document.  I inserted a Table of Contents, and the problem is that the header from Section 1 is on every page of the Table of Contents.  How can I have the headers only start at the beginning of the first section?

 

Thanks for any assistance!

Mail merge only produces one page of labels

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 08:04 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2007 with an Excel spreadsheet to aggregate some 6-up Avery labels.

When I go to Finish & Merge > Edit Individual Documents, and choose All Records, I only get the first page of labels in file named Labels11 (or whatever the latest iteration of my attempt is).

If I repeat the exercise and choose, instead of All Records, records 2-41, I still get only 1 page of labels; these include records 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and 38.

How can I get the entire body of labels on multiple sheets?

Can I make hyperlinks portable?

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:33 AM PDT

I created a Word 2010 document with hyperlinks to references (PDFs) within the text.  I want to make this portable, so the hyperlinks work on whatever computer I (or our clients) use.  I have the Word document and the PDFs saved in the same folder.  I saved the folder on a jump drive, but when I plugged it in to a laptop, I needed to change each hyperlink in order for it to work.  Changing the hyperlink base didn't work.  So now that jump drive works on that specific laptop, but when plugged into another computer the links don't work...

Is there a way to make the links work regardless of what computer we're using?  Thanks!

Prompt for "Document Properties" on using "Save As"

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 03:03 AM PDT

I used Word 2000 for many years.  I generate a weekly newsletter that is developed from the previous week's one.  Each week I use "Save As" to convert the previous week's issue to this week's one. In Word 2000 I got a prompt for "Document Properties" in which I updated a couple of fields containing text (issue date, issue number etc) that appear in several places in the document, (page headers, titles, etc.)  

In Word 2013 I cannot find out how to do the same thing.  I have to go through several layers of menus and click targets to find the properties I want to update.  Often I forget to do this.  How do I set up the same automatic prompt for these properties?

Docx files are trying to open in Word (2010) and Wordpad at the same time (Win7)

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 11:20 PM PDT

My problem began with the recent Windows Update issue where KB2760411, KB2760588 and KB2760583 were being offered repeatedly after being installed. Microsoft fixed the problem quickly, but I was left with a the following issue involving .docx files:

 

Selecting a .docx file causes Word 2010 and Wordpad to attempt to open it at the same time. Since Word beats Wordpad by a split second, I get error messages from Word that I must click on to get them out of the way before I can view my document in Word 2010.  Word is the program that SHOULD be opening it.  Why Wordpad has suddenly decided to get in the act, I don't know.  The error messages are as follows:

 

1. "There was a problem sending the command to the program."

     The title bar has the document's name and path and is coming from Wordpad.

     I click OK and the next error box opens.

 

2. "The document C:(full path) is in use by another application and cannot be accessed."

     When I click "OK", both the message and WordPad disappear.

 

Meanwhile Word 2010 has finished loading the document behind all the error message boxes and once I close them, I can work on it.

 

In File Type Associations, the default program for .docx files is Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler.

 

In Default Programs, Wordpad isn't assigned the default for ANY file types, so I don't know why it's getting involved in opening the files.  I noted that Microsoft Office or Word aren't in the list of Default Programs, but I'm guessing it's supposed to be that way??

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Change Word 2013 custom template menu to list not icons

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 09:01 PM PDT

Our company has quite a lot of custom templates which incorporate macros etc.  In Word 2003 we could change how the template menu appeared so that a briefer "List" style of menu appeared instead of the "Icon" style of menu.  This made it easier to select the required template from the variety available.

Now in Word 2013 its even worse the Icons are huge and you have to peddle down through 2 drag bars to get to what you want to find - time consuming and annoying.

Is there any way to change the Template menu so that "List" style is available (i.e. alphabetically listed by name rather than a huge icon type picture of what the template looks like).

 

NB  You do not offer the option below of choosing Office on Windows 9 - that is our system.

insert youtube video in word 2013 did not work

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 07:16 PM PDT

When Insert Video -> Youtube,  select a video and insert, in a newly created blank word 2013 document, nothing happened. However, if Insert Video -> Bing Video Search, even the video appears to be from youtube, a video is inserted as expected. The 3rd option (From a Video Embedded Code) works as well, albeit only a black square is insert, the video plays nonetheless.


The Word is part of Office 365 Home subscription installed on a 64-bit Windows Pro 8.1. Tried to re-install the Office in 64-bit version and the problem still exists.

Take a word document~email(choices XPS or PDF) editor needs it in .DOC format

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:19 PM PDT

I have 400 page book, I wrote in Word 2007. When I sent it to my editor, the email gives me two choices:
PDF or XPS.
I sent it PDF.
My editor had to convert it into a .DOC in order to be able to allow the editing process.

My question is how can I email my original book to her in .doc instead of PDF. I did figure out how to convert PDF to .DOC but I still don't understand how to email it. I guess not everyone has the ability to read a word document. I appreciate the help/

Changing the default format for lists in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:17 PM PDT

Is there a way to permanently kill the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" option in Word 2010? It's a format I never want, and I spend too much time "unfixing" lists. Each time I start a new list, Word automatically rechecks the box that eliminates the space between the paragraphs. Then it automatically indents the list .25 inch. I've tried modifying the Normal.dot files without any success. Is there a way to have a new list begin with the same paragraph spacing and the indentation as in the preceding paragraph (which is usually the Normal style)?

Programs Compatibility for Outlook 2003 and MS Suite 2007 Applications

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 04:02 PM PDT

After windows 7 was re-installed, I could no longer see my Outlook 2003 emails or the program in general.  Also, this guy re-installed MS office Suite 2007.  However, now I cannot see ALL of my former Word docs...only some of the older ones.

 

So, how can I see Outlook 2003 program and Word files.

 I have NOT installed Outlook 2007 yet because I did not know whether this would help or hurt the problem.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.
