won't print to hp6515. Error: '?There was a problem sending command to program'

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 12:09 PM PST

Everything worked fine for over a year.  Didn't print anything for 2+weeks.  When I tried to print a document the printer activated and printed a blank page.  I also got a message "There was a problem sending command to program".  I've re-installed the printer, and Office 2007, and restored the computer.  Still get that message

Printing Problems with Office 365

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 11:55 AM PST

I installed two new Dell XPS8700 computers last week and connected them wirelessly to a Lexmark Pro 901 printer. I have a Windows 8 system.  The printer works fine except when I am in Microsoft Office 365 ( I currently have the 30 day trial version).  It will not print 2 sided in Excel or Word.  It will print 2 sided in Publisher.  The printer will print 2 sided when I am in a pdf file, email or on an internet web site.  I contacted Lexmark help and they said my printer setup is fine.  They think it has to be some problem with the Microsoft Office printing commands and that I should contact Microsoft.  I contacted them via chat today.  They say it's Lexmark problem and yet Lexmark says its a Microsoft problem.  Has anyone had a similar issue?  Need all the help I can get.

Word 2013 Professional freezes when attempting to open subsequent documents on Windows 7 64-bit following 8G memory upgrade

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 09:08 AM PST

I recently upgraded my memory to 8G on Windows 7 64-bit.

After upgrading the memory, Word regularly freezes anytime I try to open a subsequent document. To workaround I close word or restart by click X in system menu. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts.

I have run Win 7 Memory Diagnostics on my machine and they came up clean.

I first repaired Office but I still hit the hang.

I tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling but Word still freezes.

Excel and PowerPoint appear to behave better. I am able to open multiple documents in both Power Point and Excel.

Are the important updates I am missing?

Thanks,
Moe

Can't open any of my Microsoft Office apps, i.e. Word, Excel, etc.

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 08:04 AM PST

Every time I attempt to open anything from Microsoft Office I get the following Message pop-up:

"Office is busy. We're sorry, WINWORD.EXE can't be used right now because Office is busy. We're either updating or helping you add or remove some programs. You can try using WINWORD.EXE again after we're done. It shouldn't take long."

This started 2 days ago.

Please advise as I have work that needs to be done ASAP.

Footnotes and Page Numbers

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 07:56 AM PST

Using Word 2007, I'm trying to add a revised date to each page of a document (as a footnote) and insert page numbers too (there are 11). When I put in the page numbers it works. When I put in the revision date (as a footnote) it works. But I can't get both to show up at the same time. When one goes in, the other goes away. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance. Joe

Options to show text in entirety despite insufficient linespace

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 07:36 AM PST

When the linespace is too small to accomodate the text, the top and the bottom of the text are cut off. Is it impossible to display text in entirety with too small a linespace in word? Is it impossible to play with negative leading, i.e. leading smaller than text height (e.g. 18/15)?

Is there a way to precisely anchor a table to a certain place on the page?

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 07:09 AM PST

I am printing a certificate in Word.  The certificate is pre-printed, and I have to put the name, etc on exactly the right place on the pre-printed form.   I use tables to define where the name and everything go.  All the wording that I do is in tables.

 

Is there a way to precisely anchor a table to a certain place on the page?  This way if I had to change something in one table, it would not affect the others.

 

Thanks

Comments feature under review in Word 2010 - footnotes

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 05:55 AM PST

Is it possible to use the 'comments' feature in footnotes or endnotes?  By all accounts, it seems to not be the case.  Surely Microsoft doesn't intentionally preclude footnotes and endnotes from the editorial process?  (So, I'm hoping for lack of user knowledge!)

Hyperlink to go to start of document

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 03:12 AM PST

Dear subscribers,
I have an extensive document in which after going to a particular section, I need to go back to the initial starting point--that would be page one.
What I'd like to have is a hyperlink in every page to do so.
Could you advice on how to do this automatically as I can't do this manually for 300 pages.

Word 2013 -How to position a table at the Bottom to a Page(not in the footer)

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 03:10 AM PST

Hi ,

I need to put a table of 4rows and 1column at the bottom of a page in a Word 2013 document .
I tried to put a table by going to its table properties and position it vertically at the "Bottom" relative to "Page" ,the table is splitting in two pages (margins remain the same as default) as 1st row going to the bottom of the first page and other 3 rows going to top of second page.

Any help/leads would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Tables (Best Way Forward

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 02:59 AM PST

I am creating tables in Microsoft Word, these are quite big tables, and the the rows have inserted pictures into them, and then a column for an instruction so they go together.

 

When I go into the table properties, and indicate that I do not want the row to break across page, I then lose the information in a particular row as it goes off the page....... and you cant see the information

 

When I go into the table properties and slect row to break across page then the row breaks across the page this does not read write

 

The only other option I have is to insert page breaks (this then breaks the table exactly where I want to break it) but then I lose my Repeat Header (as the table is broken), is there another type of break that I can put into this table that will work so that I can manipulate the table to be exactly as i want it to be?????

 

Look forward to all your help:)

Word Crashes

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 02:22 AM PST

I have had a spate of crashes using Word in Office 365 with Windows 7 initially when trying to print labels, but more recently when trying to insert / adjust a table. As a result I have only installed 365 on one machine so far.

 

I've tried running a repair which didn't help.

 

Is this a known issue and is there a fix for this I've missed?

 

 

skydrive sync problems

I have three computers accessing files from skydrive, not using the same file at the same time, but they don't sync properly - instead, I get a number of files with the same intiial name, and then the computer name tagged on the end. This is infuriating. How do I fix it?

Normal setting in Office

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 02:06 AM PST

Why does Microsoft suddenly think that their users are so stupid that they cannot decide when to add an extra line space? If you use the "Normal" style every time you press carriage-return, or import some text

you get the

stupid situation where

everything gets

double spaced

and you have to change it to "No spacing". Could you please not renaming it "Users without a Return or Enter key" or "just because we do this in America it's normal"?

This setting drives me crazy as it is the default and so you have to edit your default style-sheet, or spend ages editing documents so that you don't have to scroll more than 500 metres to read it, or deforest half of central Asia just to print it?

Default Design Using Office 365

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 01:27 AM PST

Hi I have been using Office 365 Home Premium and I am loving it so far, combined with SkyDrive it has helped me massively with College.
However I have made a new default design (By design I mean Font, Colour, Line Spacing ect...)  in Word on my desktop computer and I was wondering;
  1. If there was anyway to get that to update Word on my laptop?
  2. Is there a way maybe using SkyDrive to set a custom design as default over all devices?
  3. Or if this default design has saved as a file somewhere I could keep on my SkyDrive to save time manually setting up the design again on my laptop.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, even if it is to tell me this is not possible.

Bug in Equation Editor 3.0

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:45 PM PST

Hi All,

I am Shilpa. I am master degree student of University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.  I am writing a technical paper. So I have to write many equations. I am using microsoft word equation editor 3.0 to type in the equations (as I am not so much familiar with latex).  I was all working fine. The problem started last night when I tried to rectify some equations by clicking on that.  When I clicked on the equations wrote using equation editor to change/modify them, it showed and is showing me some strange values. Instead of my real equations I am getting some strange value which is drawn from some other documents.  I am so much panicked, I have like 100-150 equations already written and now due to this bug in editor 3.0, I am facing a lot of challenges. I fear I have to write down all equations again and then change them.  If somebody knows anything about this problem and it's solution,please help me. I need it urgently.

Shilpa.

Hourglass Cursor on Every Click and Arrow Key in Word 2010 with Every Add-in

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:37 PM PST

I have two add-ins, OneNote Notes (Office's default add-in, I believe), and EndNote (Cite While You Write).  If either of these is activated, there is a latency in using the arrow keys. With every arrow key push and with every mouse click, the hourglass cursor briefly appears and disappears.  Without either add-in activated, Word performs normally.  This latency is distracting and slows typing even though it is subtle.  But, I need the EndNote Add-in--the fact that the OneNote add-in causes the same problem and that EndNote support updated and reset their add-in (on my machine) suggests the problem is with Word, not the particular add-in (perhaps a Visual Basic problem).

I have tried the following:
Renaming the Normal.dotm template,
Repairing Office,
Reinstalling Office,
Deleting Word registry and option subkeys (returning them to the registry after trying out whether each deletion solved the problem, from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541/en-us)
Toggling other Word settings.

All have been to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Cheers.

After installation not working

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:19 PM PST

I Installed Microsoft office 365 onto my windows 7 computer. It had the previous version of word 2007. The new Microsoft office word 2013 is now refusing to open although the 2007 word works fine. How can I get the 2013 one to work?

Can a mail merge be done from a label file?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:06 PM PST

Just wondering if I can do a mail merge from another file which has a listing of 20 mailing labels arranged on page in two columns of ten name and addresses.

 

If not, how should I proceed to convert the mailing label file into something that can be used for a mail merge?

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Save a list of files containing keywords

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:06 PM PST

I have several hundred Word 2007 documents (DOCX) in several hundred directories, and a collection of about a hundred keywords.

I would like to create a list that shows, for each document, which keywords it contains, and how many times each one appears in that document.

Is there a good way to automate this? I'm familiar with writing Word macros, programming in Visual Basic, and using Powershell, so I can work either inside Word or outside it. But if I work outside Word, I don't know how to access the text of a DOCX file.

I'm using Windows Vista SP2.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

How can I tag or specify facing page elements?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 05:09 PM PST

I am using Word to write a book that includes marginalia. (Right now, I am using a column to enter the margin notes, but I could also try using a table.) When I print the book, I want the marginalia to always appear on the outside of the page, whether it is a right hand page or a left hand page.


Is there a way to specify the margin content as a "facing page" element, so that it automatically adjusts to the proper side of the page for printing, in the same way the page number is handled?


How are technical manuals from MS Press done?

Should I consider importing to InDesign? or Publisher?


I'm open to writing a VBA extension if I thought it would work.


Thank you in advance for any help or pointers.

'Hidden' text runs off page?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 05:01 PM PST

Microsoft Word 2013 (came pre-installed on used computer)
Windows 7

My job requires opening multiple documents from many different clients. I've noticed an issue lately where occasionally the last line or two of text will run off the page. It will look like the document ends mid-sentence, but I've found that if I delete some characters, more words will slip into view. If I delete too many (generally around 6 words before the 'cut-off'), the entire paragraph will be deleted and I have to undo twice to get it back. 

Attempted solutions and results:

Re-downloading a fresh file: No change
Trying to move text down to a new line: Works to an extent; trying to move any of the 'hidden' text down will automatically delete it
Copy/paste the text: only the shown text was copied
Highlighting affected text and checking paragraph settings (right click -> paragraph): nothing abnormal
Changing text size: 'hidden' text can be change to larger text, but smaller makes it delete


Can someone please help me with this? I'm not even sure if it's on my end, or my clients' as it only happens occasionally, but I need a way to fix it.

Mail Merge spaces

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 04:34 PM PST

Greetings,

I'm doing a Mail Merge in Word with Excel as the de facto database.  If I start an Excel cell with a space, the Mail Merge blows it away like it was never there.  All that survives the Mail Merge are the remaining characters after the space.  I've learned that I can use an underscore as a space keeper instead.  Is there an alternative to the underscore as a space-keeping first character in an Excel cell, please?

Macros in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 04:18 PM PST

I now have Word 2013, and customizing macros is not nearly as flexible as it was in my last Word, which I loved dearly (2003). 


Is there any way to get some custom icons to attach to macros I create?  The choice of icons is so generic that it's impossible for me to find one that relates in any way to the macro I create.  In Word 2003, when you created a macro, you had the option to use or modify an existing icon, or create one from scratch.  The icon quality probably could have been less jagged looking, but you could make one that made sense for the assigned macro.


Does anyone out there know how to assign icons other than the generic assortment offered in Word 2013?

My Office 2013 is not working

I just installed my Office 2013.

 

It won't allow me to open a blank document or open existing document.

 

I get the Microsoft Word has stopped working...windows is checking for a solution.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled again and it is still not working.

 

 

 

I picked Word below - but it is ALL the office products..
