Greetings, English isn't my first language so I hope you can understand what I'm going to say...

I have installed Microsoft Office a week or so ago. It worked well for a while until today. Couple of hours ago, I tried to open Word when "Something went wrong, try again later" or something like that popped up on the screen. I searched the internet for an answer but nothing helped. I can't get into safe mode and I can't "Repair" it, because when I try to repair it "something went wrong, sorry we ran into a problem" pops up.

What could the problem be? I've scanned my laptop and it's secure. I appreciate the help. Thanks!!

Can I create some sync'd text?

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 02:45 PM PST

I want to know if there is a function that synchronize certain stuff, like text or pictures. Which follows the document save.

Like I can insert a text somewhere, and I can reference it somewhere else in the document. If I change one of them the another one will follow the change.

Does quick part do it? I still don't really understand how to use it and the philosophy behind it.

Thanks :)

Tabs missing from my Ribbon

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 02:22 PM PST

I purchased Office 2013 and in every one of the programs, I'm missing tabs from my Ribbon. There are gaps where they should be, and on the shortcut drop-down menu, there are check marks next to "invisible" entries.

I've provided a screenshot of Word and PowerPoint for reference.

The programs are brand new and I haven't created any files with them yet - nor can I, with some of the critical functions not even showing up.

Touchpad scrolling not working in Microsoft Word 365

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 01:29 PM PST

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad L430 with Windows 8.1 and Office 365 University installed. This is the problem: my Elantech Smartpad refuses to scroll properly in Microsoft Word. It scrolls fine in Excel and OneNote; but not in Word. My regular mouse's scroll wheel functions fine in all three applications.

I tried to download upgraded drivers for my touchpad, but to no effect.

Suggestions?

changing the default language

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 01:18 PM PST

I have an open office document that I have saved in word and it is quite long so I really don't want to retype it. Every time I try to use spell check it goes automatically to german. I go in and change the default language to English u.s. and try to spell check but it won't work. It keeps going back to german as the default. If I try this on another document it works. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Help please.

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 12:35 PM PST

When I click to directly open a document from my desktop or anywhere else, only Microsoft Word opens and I have to open the file from there. But everything is fine with my other Microsoft programs.

VBA macro form/bulk letter with Excel data - If clauses (MergeField)

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 08:25 AM PST

Hi,

I want to write a form letter with data of an Excel sheet (Name, Address, etc.).

I found the following very helpful document:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138283/en-us

But there are not any if-not conditions. Since I need to divide between female, male, company (concerning salutatory) etc., I need to

query the values of the Excel sheet fields and use an if-then condition to decide if something should be written to the form letter.

Is that possible?

According to the example above, I would need something like the following pseudo code:

if MergeField("NAME") IS NOT NULL then ''e.g. if a company is entered in another field, the name field is empty

word.InsertMergeField MergeField:="NAME"

end if

Thanks in advance,

Nathalie

Hyperlinks in MSWord 2010. Target frame issue

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 08:21 AM PST

I want to create some hyperlinks in a Word document and know how to do that. But I want the browsers to open new pages/tabs and want to include the "_blank" instruction as part of the Hyperlink dialog. I get offered the _blank option in the Target Frame dialog and can select it but Word ignores the instruction when I click ok. Any ideas on how I can persuade Word to accept the _blank target frame option? Most grateful for any advice.

Blinking curser in Word

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 08:05 AM PST

My curser blinks continuously when I try to print a document from Word 2010. I think it may be related to the printer/spooler. I did get into the sys 32 file but there was nothing there. I am not experienced in computer repairs so any directions need to be pretty complete. I really appreciate any help to correct this issue.

Word found unreadable content...

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 06:49 AM PST

I am working on my dissertation and recently purchased Word 2010. Now, when I try to open my paper I get an error message that "Word found unreadable content in....." When I select yes, to recover that contents I then get another error message that says "we are sorry. We can't open ......because we found a problem with its contents." The details then state: "Operation aborted: max-element-depth constraint violated."

I have tried doing the open and repair and then saving but nothing works...help please?

Page Break in Word 2013

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 06:31 AM PST

I have just bought Office 2013 and started working on a file which I had created in Word 2010.

In all previous versions of Word that I have used since the 1990s, I frequently used the Table>Around>Positioning feature in order to position tables at the Bottom relative to the margin.

In order to ensure that tables stick to this position I insert a 'page break' after the table.

In Word 2013, this feature does not work. The tables do not recognise the inserted 'page break' and overlap into the following pages even though the pages where I want the tables to be located have sufficient space for the whole tables. Given that the file that I am working on (against a very tight deadline) contains many tables, I had to go back to Word 2010, where the table positioning commands function as I want them to.

I would be grateful for advice regarding this matter.

Thanks

Paul

microsoft word automatic save

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 04:50 AM PST

Hello am working on a company that use Microsoft office 2007, very often when people start making a word document they forgive to give it a name and save it, and sometimes they close the word without saving, and they lose the document. Is there any way for Microsoft word to automatic saves a new document even if the document wasn't give a name to it?

How can Word be so shockingly bad?

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 03:26 AM PST

My heart sank but I was not really surprised to see that the new version of Word is no better and in some ways even worse (which is really saying something) than the previous one.

None of the horrible design flaws have been corrected in the new version. Is it not likely, for example, that if I have just drawn a 1-point black line I might just possibly maybe want to draw another one (who would have thought of that?) rather than the menu being reset to 'Home' - whatever on earth that is supposed to mean - and the shape settings reset to default? It's absolutely staggeringly stupid. There's even exactly the same bug in the default settings feature as in the previous version - my default text box inevitably changes itself to white filled with half a black border, no matter what I try to set it to.

The formula editor is just as clunky as before. Surely if, for example, I have selected an index expression, I will want to type into the boxes of the expression rather than having to go through another two key presses to get there? Was this feature not tested by mathematicians? Or anyone with any sense whatsoever? Or anyone at all?

There are numerous other little bugs, tics and stupidities. Essentially, there is no coherent concept behind the design. It appears to be the result of piecemeal, gimmicky tinkering and a misguided attempt to create a superficially friendly environment which actually makes the package no easier for new users and almost impossible for anyone who has the slightest idea what they're doing.

Given these dreadful frustrations, which make a relatively simple task into an infuriating ordeal, I would be very surprised if there hadn't been thousands of complaints about the previous version. So why have these example of blatant incompetence not been addressed in the new version?

I suggest the answer is that Microsoft is simply capitalising on its monopoly position and has total undisguised contempt for the stupid mugs like me who buy its shoddy products, which appear increasingly like deliberate insults. Microsoft has gone beyond spitting in the sandwich and is actually serving up plates of steaming excrement. That's the only possible explanation for this rickety rubbish (that's 'garbage' for the US English speakers, nice to see you chaps and ladies).

This attitude will destroy the company in the long term, and good riddance. There must be millions of people who passionately hate Microsoft and its products and only use them because they are standard. All of these people, including me, will change to another supplier as soon as the market situation changes away from the current monopoly position.

Changing Office 2013 digital signature hashing algorithm

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 12:33 AM PST

Hello,

I want to force Office 2013 to use SHA1 as its digital signature hashing algorithm, so I installed Office 2013 Administrative Templates and changed the following setting to SHA1:
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Office 2013 -> Security Settings -> Digital Signatures -> 'Select digital signature hashing algorithm'

But this change didn't take effect and Word 2013 signed my documents with SHA256. I changed it to SHA384 or SHA512 and these changes took effect successfully!!

I guess there might be a preset hashing algorithm e.g. SHA256 and Office 2013 does not support any weaker hashing algorithm :-/

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Word created text files will not open

Word 2013 Freezing when Closing

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 08:52 PM PST

I have a problem with Word 2013 where it will lock up when you try to close it. It becomes unresponsive and when I ask Windows to close the program, it will lock up the computer. The only way I can close Word is by killing its process through task manager. This is the only Office application that has this problem. I tried repairing my install of Office 2013 to no avail. I also disabled any add-ons and disabled hardware acceleration and yet the problem still persists. Any ideas on how to solve it?

Thanks.

Form Fields

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 08:35 PM PST

I have created a template where the top portion contains plain text form boxes and below that two picture content control boxes. Along side the picture boxes I have placed two text boxes to be used to provide a description of the photos.

I placed a section break between the top portion of the form and the two picture boxes and then protected the template. This allows me to tab through all the text boxes and then to the picture boxes that allows me to double click and choose the photo I want. The problem is I cannot click into the text boxes next to the pictures when the template is being protected.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

When i download a word document i do not want to see any squiggly lines.

As of today, my Microsoft Word 2003 no longer works on my Windows 7 computer. I cannot change the font or the position of the print on the page. Is this intentional, so that I will be forced to upgrade, or can it be fixed?
