Microsoft Word - issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad

Microsoft Word - issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad

issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 03:16 PM PDT

     A month or two ago, about a year after I obtained my Acer "notebook", when I clicked on my word documents, instead of turning on my word starter, 
I would get a cryptic message that said -- "The Microsoft Office product to open this file is not installed on your computer".
     I can open the files, but I have to turn on the word starter program first, and then search for the document, and open it, thereby disproving the notion that i don't have a program that will open it.  WHAT GIVES????
     Also, when I used wordpad to see if it would save documents in a form that i could readily open, to make it easier to add bits and pieces of documents to create another document, it refused to save the document, until I got rid of an asterisk at the front of the document format name, then it worked OK.  
What is going on here?
     Does Word Starter or Office Starter have an expiration date?  Is this microsoft's way of telling me?  Or has my computer been hacked?
sincerely,
 Eldon Rollins

Phantom crosshatching

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 02:59 PM PDT

Phantom crosshatching suddently appeared on my MS Word documents!  It is not a watermark, it is not a background fill.  

I notice that the cross hatching lines up with the margin marker not the indent marker; I notice also that the image fits within the margins on all sides of the document except on the bottom edge.  There it seems to be cut off.  Perhaps most importantly, the image does not print out on the finished document..

Thanks so much!!!

Webpage created in Word 2013 won't display properly in IE10

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I have created a webpage in Word 2013 and saved it as Web Page (*.htm;*.html). It won't display properly in IE10 unless viewed in Compatibility View. One would think IE would support webpages created by another Microsoft program. What can I do in Word 2013 to make the website display properly in IE10 in non-Compatibility View?

Multiple macros

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:38 PM PDT

I have recently upgraded from Word 2003 up to word 2013.  I have numerous macros which I previously organized in custom toolbars, which were used for one click addition of text to documents which I create.  is there any suggestion as to the best way to replicate this in Word 2013 since one apparently cannot add custom toolbars.  I have windows 8, and word 2003 does not interface well at all.  Therefore I feel like I must make the upgrade to Word 2013 and do something to my toolbars.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Word 2013 - Expand/collapse 'triangles'

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:12 PM PDT

Hi Folks

Does anyone know if it's possible to hide or totally eliminate the triangles in the margins of Word docs, used to expand or collapse the text?  I am finding them to be totally annoying.  

Many thanks!

Set other default program for ONLY .RTF documents.

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:08 PM PDT

I have Office 2007 running in Windows 7.  I have a lot of .docx files and also .rtf files.  I want to be able to set the default program for just the .rtf files to a program other than Office Word 2007.  I tried setting the default program for one of the .rtf files but that seemed to changes every Word file on the computer.  So can anyone tell me how to set Word 2007 as the default program for .docx files and something else as the default program for .rtf files?  Of if that can even be done.

Microsoft Office Signature Line: How can I change the look / appearance / format / font of the Signature Setup?

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:01 PM PDT

Community,

Is it possible to edit or format the appearance of the "Microsoft Office Signature Line?"  I like the digital certificate, but the font rarely matches the document or form I'm using and sometimes I'd rather not have a big X and the underline.  I'm currently using either Office 2007 or Office 2010.  We'll be migrating soon to Office 2013, but it's use is limited to few individuals in my company.

Thanks,

Clint

Error Msg: Word (Compatability Mode) Not Responding

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 12:53 PM PDT

I am a busy book editor, and spend hours working in Word. I've just installed Office 2013 on a Toshiba with Windows 8 (ugh). I can work just fine for an hour or so, but then I get the error message above. The screen goes grey, the hourglass pops up, and it becomes all but impossible to type. It does this for every character I type. Does the dang brand-new computer need to REST? Is there a Windows/Word fix? I do not have any applications open other than MS Word and Internet Explorer. This problem is interfering with my meager income. Can anyone help?

microsoft update causing problems

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 12:06 PM PDT

When trying to open a file in email, I get a window saying there is a problem.  The computer fixes it, but still, I can't open an attachment. What's going on?

 

My printer information seems to be lost.  I was connected to HP Photosmart 6520, but now I can't print because the only thing that shows up is one note, which I don't want or need.

Separate settings for the header and footer

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 10:59 AM PDT

I have a multi sectioned document.  I want to put a header on the first page of each section.  I have done that and it works fine.  the problem arises when I want to put a footer with page numbers for each page of each section.  When I unclick the "different first page" option for the footer, it changes the header settings also.  How do I input different and separate settings for the header and the footer.  I have MS Word 2010.

Can only write in Archive mode

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 08:24 AM PDT

I can't write using Start or any other window in Word, only in Archive mode. Whenever I try to write in any other mode the keyboard doesn't work, i.e. no letters appear. If I clicko on the formats - Normal, Headline 1, etc - Archive mode reappears and I'm stuck with the same problem.

Printing in Word 2010

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 06:30 AM PDT

I'm trying to print a poster in Word 2010 and I'm having problems. 

 

I've changed the size to "D" and increased it by 300% but the enlarged image ends up getting pushed off of the page.  I'll keep trying because it has worked without issue in the past - I'm not sure if it is a Word problem or a print driver issue. 

 

However, I noticed that the sizes of the pages all appear wrong.  Any suggestions on why this is or how to fix it?

Word 2007: Cannot change text from Heading to Normal

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 04:16 AM PDT

I am noticing that the table of contents has included text which I did not intend to have a 'heading' style, and somehow I am unable to change it.  Since the document is private, I can only share it privately.  It is like dealing with a stubborn person...

I am using Word 2007, and, I cannot start a new document.

Small buttons on the Surface 2

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 02:03 AM PDT

Does anyone, like me, find the buttons on Surface 2 / Office tiny?


You can really see the need for a new Windows 8 touch version of Office on a smaller Win 8 device.


My fear is that they will dumb down Office touch like the Modern apps which take a lot of screen space to accomplish a few tasks.
