Office 365 Home Premium

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 02:57 PM PDT

I have thrice reinstalled Office 365 after buying the Military Appreciation Edition of Office 365.  After the second and third reinstalls, whenever I select the MS Word 2013 app or the MS Excel 2013 App, the following error messages come up, the program crashes, and will not load a file - whether I ask for a recently edited one or try to create a new one.  The error message gives no indication of what the problem is and no solution is offered after the crash.  My operating system is currently Windows 81 Preview, Build 9431. 

Help please.

Images / pictures are not displaying in Word when cut and pasted into a document. Also, images / pictures are not displaying in Outlook messages when I open them.

Suggestions for implementing a shared normal.dotm template for my office

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I've developed a normal.dotm template for my office to use. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to implement it. It will be up to me to ensure everyone knows how to access it, so I'm wondering if I need to import it onto each individual computer in the office, or if there's a way of sharing it on our server. I want it to be the default (obviously) for when all staff members open Word.

It includes a custom style set and macros, if that makes any difference.

Cursor has changed size in Word... how do I fix it?

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 01:03 PM PDT

Hello all

 

The "cursor" in Word, if I am calling it by the right name, has for some reason changed size.  Instead of being the same size as the text I am typing, it is much smaller.  It really throws me off.  I can't find any settings to get it back to normal.  I must have accidently hit something and I just can't figure out what I did.  I am not having the issue in any other Office program.  I am including a screen shot so folks can see just what I mean.

 

Windows 7, Office products will sometimes make a "copy of" copy of a file. When does it do that?

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 12:37 PM PDT

Office products will sometimes make a copy of the file, entitled "Copy of filename". Happens with both Excel and Word. Just started happening to me with Windows 7. Under what conditions does that happen and can you turn it off?

 

thanks !

Shading in a table

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 12:35 PM PDT

Can anyone explain why some cell outlines in a table (I am using Word 2003) would turn white, instead of the usual black?  It only seems to happen when I shade and then un-shade the cells (or vice versa) but it doesn't happen every time.  Besides the explanation, I would really like to know how to correct this.

Bad behavior of Mailings

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 11:58 AM PDT

I run Word 2013/Windows 8 on my Lenovo Ultrabook.  The Mailings function for both envelopes and labels behaves badly by seeming to process the address lines as I enter them.  The first letter of the line appears as I type it, but the remainder of the letters/numerals in the line do not appear for 10 to 30 seconds.  Is this a settings problem or something worse?

Cannot delete Word file

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 11:14 AM PDT

Despite closing down Word 2007, rebooting, I cannot delete some Word documents because, even though Word is not open, it comes up with the error message

"This action cannot be completed because the file is open in Microsoft Office Word."

How can I delete this file.

 

Thanks

Office 2013 issue since windows 8.1 upgrade

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 09:57 AM PDT

Upgraded (if you want to call it that) from Windows 8 to windows 8.1, because for some reason my laptop (Toshiba) said I was...and now the microsoft office 2013 just shuts down when I try to open it. Says it is activated, and updated....but just keeps shutting down. I need it, and I will not be paying for it to be fixed...already paid an outrageous amount to buy it. So I need it fixed, ASAP.

In the search results in Office 2007 help, if I click on a link which is NOT at office.microsoft.com, but some other site, it tries to open the link in Notepad, which pops up an error message.  Links to office.microsoft.com open normally in the help window.

Office 2010 will not print

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 09:23 AM PDT

I have a Samsung ML-1610 Mono Laser printer and Windows 7 Ultimate. Since the last update for Office I cannot print documents, Word, Excel etc "do not respond" when I try to print and I have to use Task Manager to close program. The printer works with other programs and the Windows Printer Test Page prints fine. Any ideas other than a complete re-install of O2010?
 

My Japanese Fonts doesn't work with office 2013

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:58 AM PDT

Hello.

My name is Say.
I have purchased Home & Student  Office 2013 last week by download. I have Japanese font pack downloaded for keyboard and I type Japanese daily basis. I also did download free Microsoft Japanese fonts for Office. I can type English without a problem, but when I type Japanese, a box open up at the top left side and Japanese fonts appears there. Also often fonts freeze so I can not continue. It is not working at all. I have to use my email account to write something and cut / past to a page. This should not works like this. I used have office 2007 with different PC, but I never had this kind of problem.

I called Microsoft 3 times and at the third time, a  technician helped me with downloading ( re-install)again. But It is the same situation. 
Case # : 1221715065
Seems like PowerPoint is working with Japanese fonts normally, but  Word and Excel.

Please help me with this matter. I have Japanese blog and website. I really need to solve this problem.
I really appreciate if someone can help me.

Best Regards,

Say
 

Uproof and proof folders - custom dictionary

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:57 AM PDT

What is the difference between these two folders and and why does a computer have both?  From what I read the custom dictionary should reside in the proof folder on a windows 7 machine but I am finding they are being held in the uproof folder.  Any insight would be helpful.

skip backstage when printing

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:56 AM PDT

I use ctrl+p to print documents in Word.  In previous versions, this shortcut opened the print dialog box.  Now it opens the backstage.  I can work more quickly by skipping the backstage.  It really doesn't provide any value for my use of Word.  I use shortcuts extensively since I do not have to take my hands off the keyboard and this saves time typing.  I am paid to produce documents as quickly as possible and the keyboard shortcuts were very useful for this until Word 2013.  Now certain shortcuts, especially ctrl+p, takes longer since it opens to the backstage, which I don't need.  Often I need to print 2 or more copies of a document.  Before 2013, I used ctrl+p, pressed "2" or however many copies I wanted and then pressed "enter".  Done.  Or I need to print just the current page.  I would press ctrl+p, alt+e, enter.  Done.  Now I have to take my hands off the keyboard, reach for the mouse, fish around until the cursor is on the correct item, click the item to open the drop down box, move the mouse to the drop down option, click it, move the mouse to "Print" and click it.  WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! 
I would like to see the backstage itself as an option, not the norm.  Is there some way this can be done? 
Thanks for any suggestions.

Can't Eliminate Blank Page after Table

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:40 AM PDT

I have tried reducing paragraph mark to 1pt and line spacing to 1 pt (a trick often suggested in other posts).  No good for me.  It is a 2-column table and I am not sure I am reducing the right paragraph mark - any other ideas or can someone look at the doc and tell me what they think can be done?  How would I make it available to look at for you?  

Word Checkbox Wierdness

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:33 AM PDT

When downloading a form from http://www.nycourts.gov/forms/familycourt/childsupport.shtml some of the forms have an issue with checkboxes.  Example the form 4-11a .  When I open it in Word 2010 the checkboxes look like Gs or 9s.  Others tell me they can open and use the same forms fine.  Please see this image for examples http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/kkw9.jpg/ .

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere in Word?  I did the install of Word and simply took all the defaults.

Thanks!!

Inserting Documents With Numbering

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:32 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have a large document that I insert documents into that has numbered lists.  I am wanting the numbered lists to stay as they are when I insert them, but sometimes the numbers act as if it should auto number and the numbers change.  For instance, a document may have points numbered from 1 to 10.  Then I insert a document that has points numbered from 1 to 10.  Sometimes the second document's numbering changes to 11 - 20.  This also happens to lists of points that are lettered.  How do you turn this off and allow me to instert documents with out the numbering and lettering change from one document to another?

 

I have gone to File/Options and unchecked the numbering option and it is still numbering.

 

Thanks for your assistance.

Please help, I can't work with it like this and its the same if I try opening a new document.

I Can't Undo Tabs in Word

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 06:41 AM PDT

When I am typing in word, I have a problem where I can tab text to the right but if I put the cursor to the left of that text and hit the backspace button to undo the tab and move the text back to the left, nothing happens. I have to go up to the "decrease indent" button at the top in order to move the text back but that is such a pain. Also, if I have bulleted lists, I can't delete the bullet points by pushing the backspace button. I have to highlight it with the mouse and then push backspace.


I am using word 2013 and it isn't a problem with the keyboard, since I have tried to fix this problem by swapping out keyboards and it was the same.
