Find & Replace Long Blocks of Text (Microsoft Word)

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 01:41 PM PST

I understand that the "^c" tag, when placed in the "Replace" entry point in "Find & Replace" can replace whatever is copied into the Clipboard.  This is a great feature, however the same "^c" does not work when placed into the "Find" entry point.  Can this please be fixed, or has this limitation already been addressed?

 

I have many documents that have exceeding long and repetitive, multi-line text in them which lengthens the document by over 50%.  I really want to use Find & Replace to eliminate these strings.  I understand there is a macro out there which affords a Find & Replace providing the strings are stored in separate documents; however, I do not need to go to any strings longer than about 255 characters.

 

It appears Word 2010 is so close to being able to do this, all that is needed is to affect the "^c" tag to function in the "Find" entry point.  Is this the correct way to achieve my goal or is there another way?  I run into this situation almost daily, and a solution would be extremely helpful.  I'm sure there are others who would benefit from a multi-line Find & Replace capability.  What's up with that, Microsoft?  Please assist.

 

P.S. Clarification:  Typically, I would be replacing a long block of text from the clipboard with "' "(nothing", NOT replacing one long block with another.  I hope this helps.

Creating brackets in WORD

Microsoft Word 2013 version

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 12:59 PM PST

This screen comes up when I try to open Word programs that says: we are sorry, but Word has run into an error that's preventing it from working correctly.  Then is says: would you like to repair?  I click yes, then I quick repaired it, online repaired it and reported to Microsoft.  It still continues to give this message every time I attempt to open the program.  Also, running a diagnostic it says: incompatible.  This is weird that it is the 2013 version, Windows 8.1 and its been working for the last 6 months.  I also, uninstalled and re-installed.  While, Excel, Power Point and One note are fine.  I have the Office student and home.  How can I fix the issue? Thanks for your helpful feedback! 

Spell check not working Word 2013 (screenshot provided)

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 10:41 AM PST

How can I get spell check to check the part of my document that comes after a static text conversion? I am in the midst of typing a manuscript for professional publication. I have accumulated over 60 references. One day while working on the document I found that Word 2013 was no longer performing live spell check, and would also not catch any spelling errors if I ran a manual spell check. Spell check worked fine for the beginning of my document, but after a certain point, it stopped working. After some investigation I traced it back to THE FOLLOWING STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1) Open new word document.
2) Create a new source by clicking "references" on the ribbon and then "manage sources"
3) name the source test for simplicity and pick a random date.
4) click "insert citation" and place it into the document.
5) convert the inserted reference to static text by clicking the citation, then clicking the dropdown arrow for "citation options." Under these options click "convert citation to static text."
6)Upon completion, you can be assured that Word 2013 will no longer spell check for the REST OF THE DOCUMENT.

How is this desirable? I spent an hour on the phone with Office Support and they said that the only way to avoid this was to not convert to static text (not an option), or insert citation, type a couple of words then go back and convert to static text (ok, but what if I forget to do this? is there a way to go back and tell word I want to spell check everything after the static text conversion? I am told by Office Support "no, it is too late at that point." Microsoft will not admit a flaw in the software. How is this desirable operation? I am also told "as a workaround" that I can select the entire document, copy, then paste into a notepad document, then open a new word document, paste it, change all formatting (as it will have reverted to default). Very quickly does one realize what a mess this can create when you have several pages written and over 60 sources cited. The manager by the name of "J" with Microsoft Office Support says these are my only options. How is this desirable operation?

Please refer to the screenshot below... You can see that everything after the static text conversion is not spell checked.

Word has detected a problem with the existing normal.dotm -- Does anyone know what to do about this?

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 09:38 AM PST

All of a sudden, when trying to open a word document I get the above response.  Then I am asked something to the effect of whether I want to create a new normal.dotm.

I tried clicking "yes" but this did not help.  Since the info in various online forms said to click "yes" I tried it several more times.  Now when I try to open Word it no longer asks me that; instead it asks whether I want to open word in "protected mode."

The only other thing I tried to do to fix the issue --- also based on a tip from an online forum --- was to delete all "normal.dotm" files.  That has not fixed the problem.

I noticed that most people writing about this issue use Word 2007 or earlier.  I use Word 2013.

Please: can anyone help with this issue?

Many Thanks,

Robert 

Linking _to_ the Table of Contents _from_ section headings

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 09:30 AM PST

I have a document with a Table of Contents linked to about three dozen different section headings and I want to link the section headings back to the Table of Contents, so that whenever the reader is done reading a section they can click the heading to go back to the TOC.

 

I've searched online but all I can find is help for creating TOCs, which is not what I need.  All the section headings are in the Heading 1 style but I can't find a way to modify the style to include the hyperlink.  Selecting all the instances of Heading 1 greys out the Ribbon button for hyperlinks so I can't do that either.

 

I'm thinking there simply has to be an easy way to do this for all the headings at once.  If it matters any the headings are also all Level 1 in Outline view.

"There is not enough memory or disk space to run Word"

I'm using Mac. I tried to install Word into my Mac. But, unfortunately, I bought the wrong program. I actually MUST buy Word for Mac, but I accidentally bought Word for Office. Can I redeem it? What should I do?

Word 2013 limits

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 05:34 AM PST

I'm very new to Word, have been working in WordPerfect 6 recently, and I'm trying to format a digital book for Amazon (Kindle).  The Word Tabs and Ribbons are very different than in WP.  I'm having troubles finding things.  I must apologize for the length of this question, but I'm in a bind.

 

Is there a way to change the character, or color, of the flashing cursor in Word?  That skinny, black thing is often very hard to locate.

 

Another problem I have is with definitions.  For instance, what is a Section?  What is it for?  The Help entries simply tell what to do without telling why.  For a new guy, this is not as helpful as it might be.  Is there somewhere which defines stuff?

 

A very strange conversion (from WP to Word) item is that my Bibliography numbering was changed to Roman Numerals, of all things.  How can I change that?  In my Bibliography, I right-click on a number and try to reset Numbering Values, but there are no choices other than Roman Numerals. 

 

Another very serious problem is with the footnotes.  The conversion took my 200+ footnotes and broke them into sections.  The first 44 footnotes seemed to keep my WP formatting (superscript number and indented entry), but the rest have been changed (no superscript and no indents).  Also the numbering of the rest has been broken into groups, starting again at 1 several times, sometimes as often as incrementing only 4 to 5 numbers before recycling to 1. 

 

I though this might have something to do with those mysterious Sections, so I removed all the coded references to Sections (confirmed by Searching for the Special Character for sections) and tried to renumber the footnotes Continuously throughout the document, but it doesn't work!  Is there something there which is preventing this, or is this an unresolved glitch? 

 

And how does one reformat footnotes?  Apparently, one can only place and delete footnotes.

 

Another very serious glitch is with my Images.  Several problems occur here, some related to the no-undo-button issue.  After several attempts at Inserting images and adding Captions, I now have unfilled captions which I cannot delete placed within the text in places I never placed them.  I set page-breaks to help me Insert accurately and to size them consistently and add captions, then tried to delete the page breaks to keep the smallish images scrolling neatly, and they overlap, lose their associated captions and don't stay at the Positions I set.  And, of course, I can't undo the page-break deletions.  There has got to be a better way.  Can anyone help?

 

I have many other problems, but I attribute them to my unfamiliarity with Word so I won't list them all.

Document title problem

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 03:06 AM PST

Word 2007. I like to have the document filename in the footer of each document so I can easily find it on my computer. I also like to have the name of the document in the header of each succeeding page. I have set up Normal.doc as follows: The Title field at the top of the document and in the header of succeeding pages; the FileName field in the footer. Then when I save, Word inserts the value in Title into the document name. This has been working well for some time but I've had to reconfigure a new Normal.dot to resolve a problem I was having with Normal.dot. Now however, when I save a document, Word inserts Title into the filename as it should, but then it clears it from the document. I have to retype the name into Title. What can be causing Word to clear Title?

Microsoft Office Word - Printing Problem (Not match to the Preview)

Recently Opened items fail to open from taskbar, Office 2013 applications only.

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 08:26 PM PST

I'm running Windows 8.1 on a new computer, into which I have restored all my documents from my dead Windows 7 computer.


After working properly for a few days, now there is a failure to recognize recently opened files in the taskbar list, for MS Word 2013, or any other MS Office 2013 application in the taskbar.


Upon clicking a recently opened filename above a MSOffice2013 item in my taskbar, I consistenly receive the message, "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"  The Office application itself does not open, after this message.


If I open the office application first (from the taskbar is okay), I can click on anything in >its< list of recently opened files, and the file opens properly.


-------

When I try to open a recently opened file from the taskbar icon for a NON-Microsoft Office application (Corel WordPerfect, for example) the file opens properly.
