Word Documents Won't Delete

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:40 PM PDT

Wow. All of a sudden, when I try to delete documents (send to the recycle bin), it won't work. The circle (showing something is happening) shows up for a bit and then disappears and nothing happens. I have approx. 100 documents to delete. Tech support wanted $99 to even look (not necessarily fix).

How can I buy an ad-free version of Office 2013?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:51 PM PDT

Just got a refund for the Office 2013 software I purchased & downloaded Saturday.  As most of you know, Microsoft is now advertising products within the "new" Word templates. I find it appalling- this isn't ad-supported software.  I paid $220 to own the software and install it on my desktop. My time and attention are too valuable-  I don't want to pay to be sold something when I use Office; i.e. giftcertificates.com birthday cards and docstoc legal documents.  If I want to purchase something, I'll do a web search on my own. The Microsoft store refunded my money because even the high-level tech support people could not figure out how to remove the default ads.  I love Word and I'll happily pay for it if it is ad-free.  Anybody know how to get a version of Office without the built-in ads?  Do I need to find an earlier release?

Do not want underline to be bold!!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:46 PM PDT

1.  Every time I make underlined text bold in Word 2002, it also makes the underline itself bold.  How can I stop this??!

2.  I typed some spaces before and after some text so when I selected and underlined it, it would appear the text was filled in a "blank."  But the one that was at the end of a line would make the underline stop right after the text and would ignore the spaces.   Help please.  Thanks!

I have a multi level list going in a document that I am updating for work. The level for the particular section I am working on goes like this:

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

I have a multi level list going in a document that I am updating for work. The level for the particular section that is giving me problems is:

 

1.1 blabla

1.2 blabla

    2.1.1 blablabla

 

Why is it skipping to 2.1.1 instead of going to 1.2.1? Please help! I cannot figure this out! I have "custom" heading lists set up and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is jumping.

Why do I have condensed fonts in some of my WORD 2010 document?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

I am having a problem getting a document formatted into a single style. Every 10 pages or so I will have a paragraph or whole page that looks condensed, and I cannot figure out how to change it to the regular font size and spacing. here is an example of what I am seeing in the document: 1)the top paragraphs are condensed, 2) the bottom paragraph is normal. 1)- A double operation to be completed in thirty minutes; thirty minutes needed to bring the reinforcements from the German military base seventeen miles beyond the southern ridge; reinforcements the plan allowed to arrive too late but to bury their dead in a deserted ravine, guerillas already withdrawn to the hills. And the audacious plan had worked. The German guard patrol had been pushed back inside the airfield area and here they were joined by full battalion strength, men quickly roused from sleep, blood racing through bodies restless with long and boring camp fatigues, men anxious to press on, to follow up the retreating shadows in the night. 2) Three hundred yards, four, five; the guerilla retreat now lighted bright as day, sheet flame preceding crunching explosions throwing burning gasoline high above the plateau; a frightening wild tower of leaping red and white; harsh bright light reflected back below again by bulging black clouds of smoke hurrying high above the blazing **** unleashed below. A thrusting roar of fire now punctuated by short round and irregular bursts of grenades lobbed into leather cockpits of planes splintered and wrenched apart; mute metal tilted, now overturned, wheels alive spinning madly unable to escape the hungry fire rendering all to useless scrap. Both condensed and normal paragraphs are Palatino 11pt and I am using WORD 2010, Windows 7 64 bit. Can anyone explain why this is happening or perhaps explain how I can format the entire 120 page document the same way and resolve the condensed bits? I have tried select all, but that doesn't change things. Thanks very much for any help! Ps. Are there any web based businesses where I can send the document to have it fixed, so the font size, etc will be the same through-out the entire document?

How can I delete Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:46 PM PDT

Hey all,

Unfortunately, installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (on Windows 7) had some nasty results for me. When I opened a document that contained hyperlinks and citations which I managed with Reference Manager, it appeared that these were broken. Instead of seeing a citation, example: (1), I see a whole lot of text describing the citation (author type and that kind of stuff). My reference list, which is automatically updated, is also gone.

Searching the internet for this specific problem, I hardly find any useful and/or relevant information. 

I now want to delete this update, but I ran into different problems there. First, the update doesn't show in Control Panel - Installed updates, but it is there in Windows Update! Why is that? 

Second, there is a tool out there which deletes Service Pack 1 or higher for Microsoft Office 2010, but I cannot get it to work.

I cannot locate my log file, so I cannot remove the update.

If anyone recognizes this problem, please let me know because I just want a working Microsoft Word again with working citations. It was very useful and I had no problems at all.

If not, could someone please help me out deleting this damn Service Pack?

Thanks

Word 2013 opening additional document shows blank window without opening

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 10:08 AM PDT

We run Windows 7, 64 bit with all current Microsoft updates in place. 

On a system we had Outlook 2013 open and composing a message and 3 word documents open. 

Trying to open another document resulted in a small window with a red cross in the top right corner. 

Only after closing all other word documents and finally the email message the last document would come to live and appear on the screen as expected. 

- what is happening here?
- how can you avoid this?

Thank you

I also downloaded Office Professional, like Publisher, but Word keeps giving message :

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:27 AM PDT

On 9-28 I also downloaded Office Professional, like Publisher, but Word keeps giving message :
 
Microsoft word has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Finally reinstalled Word 2007 so could print a program needed for church.
Seems to me there should be a simple and quick fix to program. MS isn't doing it's job.
 
Have already tried Control Panel - Change. Both long and short versions with no success.

how to type poem with line breaks after words in line

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT

How does type a poem such as an e.e. cummings's poem that has word breaks or even syllable breaks within a line. I do not want to return to the left margin when starting to type in the line and I do not want to use spaces or tabs from the margins.

Example:

He had told him-
                         self "I am dy-
                                            ing; I am dy-

This example uses spaces, which are tedious and create issues in publications.

Thhanks.

Issue between 365 word and 2010 style settings compatibility

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:45 AM PDT

I am a college student taking an online Business English class. I am having compatibility issues. I use Office 365 Word and my teacher is using Office 2010 Word. I set the Style settings to the specified requirements single spaced 0,0. After my teacher has opened the documents the line spacing is off. This is a problem we are graded on spacing and structure. I have set; re-set;and set the same settings and they will not remain the same. Each paper has the same problem. I used compatibility mode and still has not helped.

MS Word 2010: Changing Notes Styles Based on Bulleted List

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I imported Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles from a 2003 template to a 2010 Word Template.

 

The Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles are based on a Bulleted/Nunbered List style, however, when I click the Define New Number format button and change the font and/or point size, I cannot save these changes. Why not? How do I change the point size and Font in a Note | Caution | Warning based on a Numbered list?

 

 

 

 

 

 

word document throws message "some of the regions you can edit overlap, and it is not possible to show them at the same time" during opening in word 2013

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:32 AM PDT

Created a word document and protected the document, with parts of the document available for editing and closed the document. If the same document is opened in word 2013 throws a messages "some of the regions you can edit overlap, and it is not possible to show them at the same time.User the 'Find next region i can edit' button to show each region individually" during opening of the document. Only way is to click OK in dialog and then word displays 3 options select "edit document" under View to get back to normal view.

Is there a way to disable this message?? 

JPEG to TIFF

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:23 AM PDT

I submitted an article to a journal and although they accepted the article they requested that the photos be converted from Jpeg to Tiff with alteast 300 dpi. I tried an online converter but then the image I receive on my screen is just green. Does that mean it has been converted or is this defective? What can I do to rectify it?

Cannot embed Word 2007 document in an email

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:02 AM PDT

When using Word 2003 I could create a document then click FILE and SEND TO with the option to send the document embedded in an email (not an Attachment). In Word 2007 I do not have this option, the only options available are to send my document as an attachment. Is there a way to stop the document being sent as an attachment.

Template - Difficulties Ahead... Numbering, Cutting & Pasting

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have a question on templates using word 2010 that I have created: -

 

Document Style Numbering

Q1: I have created new styles in the template, these styles will not cross reference as Headings? also when exporting information to software packages outside of word they are not recognised? Does anybody have a solution for this? as otherwise will have to revert to using the Heading 1 -Heading 9 in Word and restructure to the formatting I created for the styes CM 1 - CM2

 

which now leads to problem 2

 

I done a test run on this and took my template, created a new template, rematched Heading 1 Heading 9 to be relective of CM 1 to CM 9. Deleted the styles that I had created and now the Heading 1 - Heading 9, the numbering does not work?

 

Cutting & Pasting

 

When cutting & pasting from other documents users are experiencing difficulties with the template (obv... the template opens as a new document), also I have had complaints about using graphics, i.e. the pictures jumping all over the place, has anybody experience this, and I have done something wrong when I created the template.

 

I really want to resolve early issues going forward and get this right,

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Word Find/Search Results Don't Fit Properly in Navigation Bar

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:36 AM PDT

I'm not sure when this changed or if I did something, but now in Word 2013 when I search (Ctrl-F) the Results that appear in the Navigation pane on the left are 1.5 lines long, which means I often can't see enough to read the result. I think this used to be 2 or 3 full lines.

 

Is there a place where I can adjust how much text is displayed for Navigation Results when using Find/Search?

 

How many rows of text do others see for each of the Results?

 

Thanks,

Colin

Word 2010 Table Formatting using VBA macros

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:17 AM PDT

Dear All,

There are around 50 tables in my word document and I want to change the height and width of every cell in the document.

I was able to get a macro which would select the entire tables but when I am changing the height its only getting applied to that specific table.

I tried googling a lot and couldn't get any information.

So could someone help me with a macro code which I could use? Height 1.5" and Width is 2.3"

Protected text streams

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:09 AM PDT

I've been editing a document and found it impossible to hyphenate a paragraph where it looks good.  The hyphenation seems to treat several words as one.  I don't know how, but evidently the author must have set some fomatting feature on the text.  It is not revealed using Show/Hide.  I guess my question is how can a writer do this and how can it be disabled?

Word 2010 default save as location not being used when opening attachment from emails

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2010 and Windows 7 x64 whenever a Word document is opened from either and email or the internet the "save as" location used is not the default network location I have set in Word 2010, It always opens up the documents library.

I have spent ages searching for a solution but have not seen this reported anywhere.

I'd be grateful for any help or advice you can offer.

Thanks in advance.

Setting style for Accent tool in Word (Windows, Office 365)

Posted: 06 Oct 2013 05:53 PM PDT

With regret, let me start by saying that inserting accented letters into a Word document on Windows is much harder than it should be.  I have to use a lot of foreign words.  When there is a touchscreen available, I usually find myself resorting to the on-screen keyboard, and holding down the letter to get the pop-up menu (quickly giving you eēéêèë, for example).  The key-combination method on the Mac isn't perfect, but it's much better than Windows can offer with a physical keyboard.  Given that most people don't often need to type words like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" or "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I think you should reprogram the hardware keys to work like the virtual ones. 

My question, however, relates to the Accents tool in Word, which is almost passable, except that the letters always appear in Cambria Math italics rather than the style set for the paragraph.  Is there a way to set a default font and style for the tool?  It's useful for more than writing formulas.

Thank you for any assistance.
