Microsoft Word - Sending an email document form Word 2010

Microsoft Word - Sending an email document form Word 2010

Sending an email document form Word 2010

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 12:57 PM PST

Can anyone help me with this please?

I am using Home & Student Office 2010 and want to send a document as an email.

When I click on "Select recipients" under the " Mailings" tab and then "Select from Outlook Contacts" I get an error message that no email programme is associated to perform the requested action. It suggests going to create an association in the Defaults Program panel. I have looked high and low through Default Programs via control panel but don't see, (or don't recognise) what I have to do.

Am I missing something simple or is this no longer possible since I was changed to Outlook automatically a little while ago?

Any help gratefully received.

Why do I keep getting the installation Wizard coming up when I already have a yearly subscription and an installation already running?

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 12:40 PM PST

This is the third time this installation wizard has come up in as many months despite having a 12 month subscription.  I am about to have an 'unlicensed product' again which I have already paid for and has involved over 4 hours online with a tech guy taking over my computer through no fault of my own.  When this happened the last time (exactly one month ago) the tech guy said it would not happen again - BUT IT HAS.  Will Microsoft please sort this issue out as I am fed up with spending hours trying to use the system I have already paid for.   HELP ME SOMEONE.  The most annoying thing is that it works great until the installation wizard appears again!

Why can't I format just one line?

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 12:30 PM PST

I wonder who the brain dead person was that implemented this utterly stupid "feature"?  

I highlight one line.  I do something to it.  (Centering it).  But it formats several lines below it as well.  I didn't highlight those lines.  Why are they affected?  To think the software maker actually got paid to do something like this is just beyond comprehension.  Why does Microsoft try to think for its customers?  Are their customers really so incapable of making decisions themselves?  Please:  NO Microsoft links.  They are utterly useless, written by people devoid of English communication skills.  There's got to be an easy solution to this.  Under Options I disabled whatever I could find that could be connected to this.  I am not very knowledgeable in Word I admit.  I just expect logic from software though.


I should mention that I always use Shift_Enter when working with text like this.  

Word 2013 design elements/limitations

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 11:54 AM PST

Two years ago I bought a laptop with office starter on it and came to really like using word to create graphics. The motherboard on that laptop died so we had to buy a new one and a new office 2013 with it. I'm disappointed I can't do some of the same things I could do with the starter. For example I can't view the selection pane and I can't manipulate the blur or gradients as much as I could with the starter I had. Is there any way to use the licensing I had with my old laptop to get the starter I had before put onto my new laptop? (I still have the working hard drive from my old laptop) Or can I trade in the office 2013 I just bought to get a version that will be able to do those graphic design options I need? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you.

Works 6-9 Converter will not install on Vista

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 09:07 AM PST

I have some old Works documents which I would like to open in Word 2007.

When I try, Word says I need a more recent version of the converter (for Works 6-9 files) and offers a link to the download.

I download the file, click on Run, the Install Wizard opens but almost immediately closes, without doing the install.

Please can anyone suggest why, or what I might do to get it working?

Can I just buy Word!

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 08:54 AM PST

I am considering buying a new laptop with Windows 8.1.  I would buy Microsoft Office which is expensive when all I want is 'word' and 'Publisher' Am I able to buy these on there own?  I know Publisher is sold separately but not sure about Word.

Convert word citations/bibliography to endnotes

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 08:31 AM PST

Hello,
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find the answer.

Is there a (hopefully, simple) way to convert MS Word citations to endnotes in the same document?

I don't want to lose the bibliography, but my publisher has asked if I can make my citations as numbered endnotes in the same document.

I'm hoping to avoid going to a third-party software, but I'm a tad desperate -- I'll happily go that route if that's what's necessary.

Help,please!

Thanks,
Carlos

Word 2013: Setting Layout for 6"x9" CreateSpace Book

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 07:35 AM PST

Admittedly, MS Word is a (way cool) word-processing app, and not a page-layout app, yet untold numbers of writers use it when writing and designing self-published books. I just completed a 200-page biography and need clarification regarding inner margins in page layout.

To do this layout, I do the following: Page Layout > size > more paper sizes > page setup > margins. (This after setting the paper size, at 6 by 9 inches.) After much research, I've determined the settings I will use for my book. Problem is, I do not understand the need to specify settings for BOTH inside margin and gutter. I thought for a book (as opposed to, say, a two-column newsletter), inside margin = gutter. No difference. Yet when I viewed a YouTube video on CreateSpace, the video showed on one screen the alleged default settings for CreateSpaces's master book template, which had separate settings for inner margin AND gutter.

My question: Do I need to set both values--IM and gutter? If the inner margin/gutter needs to measure .75 inches of white space, does it matter what settings I have for inner margin and gutter, as long as the total equals .75 inches? For instance, will the outcome be any different if I: (a) set IM at .5 and gutter at .25, or (b) set IM at .75 and gutter at 0.0?

Thank you in advance.

Word 2013 changes saved document to .tmp file

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 06:21 AM PST

Hi - I have only had office professional 2013 a short time, working on a Dell with windows 7 64 bit, recent new documents I have created have disappeared (although they show in "recent" list), when I try to open it says "file cannot be found" - I then search my documents folder and find a TMP file there, I can open this in word and it is my missing document! - why is it renaming it to a TMP file? - renaming the document to what it was before and saving it cures the problem, I have seen other posts regarding this but they are all on older office and windows versions and don't really give me an answer.

Opening Template file

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 06:05 AM PST

Recent phenomenon.

I have a few Word templates in a folder at My Word/My Templates.

If I right click over a template icon and click on 'open', one document opens on desktop.

If I double click on the template icon or if I double click on a shortcut icon to a template file, two documents open on the desktop.

Is this easy to cure?

Microsoft Office not responding, very slow

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 05:26 AM PST

Hi 

I have Microsoft Office 2013 and recently downloaded Windows 8.1 update. Everything was working fine until this last week. Now Word & Excel documents are taking a very long time to open, and repeatedly freezing while working on documents. Outlook is also 'not responding' at times as well. After a couple of minutes the documens recovers itself and you can continue working but within a few moments the same problem will occur. Other times the document is forced to close. If I have more than one document open at a time it effects all of them. This is making doing any type of work extremely frustrating and tiresome. At first I thought this problem was due to Skydrive as all of these documents are saved via Skydrive. However today I transferred documents to my computer so no longer saving or opening from Skydrive. The problem still continues. 

I have been researching these issues and tried several solutions:

  • Opened word in safe mode - opens quickly 
  • I have disabled all add-ins on Word & Excel
  • I have disabled hardware graphic acceleration 
  • I have ran an Microsoft Office online repair
None of these have had any effect.

Please can you help with find a solution.

Thanks

Folders and sub folders in Office 2013

Posted: 07 Nov 2013 03:33 AM PST

On occasions I open up a main folder from my computer which has several sub folders inside. However sometimes I open up the main folder to find that all the sub folders have disappeared but all the documents from the sub folders are still in the main folder. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?

Unprotect range within a word document

Posted: 06 Nov 2013 10:47 PM PST

Hi, 

I've a word macro enabled document which uses several FormFields and content Controls with the document being protected and only "Filling in Forms" allowed, so that the user is only able to edit within the formfields or content controls and no other part of the document. 

But in this document there is a table where I want the user to copy-paste rows from a different document. For this, I was thinking may be I can unprotect this entire table (ONLY), so that, this way the user will be able to do any kind of editing ONLY in this table and anywhere else in the document the user will only be able to edit the FormFields and Content Controls.

How can I unprotect only a certain table in the document, so that user can make any changes here? 

Thanks.

Why is this happening: Word is Converting OnlineCertDB.xlsx...?

Posted: 06 Nov 2013 08:50 PM PST

I use office for Mac and also have it on my VM with Win7.  I recently made changes to an Excel spreadsheet that I duplicated in a corresponding one used for merging data into Word docs.  On both I get either the "Word is converting...(see above) or the Win7 circle just spins and nothing merges.  Any ideas as to why all of a sudden this happens with both?

Formulas in tables: returning blank cells

Posted: 06 Nov 2013 04:43 PM PST

Hello,

I have been trying to specify a formula where, in case cells have no values, the result is a blank cell instead of 0.00 . I have tried:

=IF(D4*E4=0,"",D4*E4)

and

=IF(D4*E4>0,D4*E4,"")

But I get a syntax error.

Also, is there any way to refer to columns D and E  generically, so that I can copy and paste the same formula in each column? As in, D1*E1 for row 1, D2*E2 for row 2, etc.

Thank you.

Microsoft Word

Posted: 06 Nov 2013 03:46 PM PST

I have had Microsoft word 97 running for some time with no issues, then a month ago it converted my files & said if I do not buy or try free trial I could not receive my documents.
Now it is saying that my subscription has expired & that as of Fri 8th Nov most features of word will be disabled & that i have to choose an option of either Buy, Enter Key or Sign in?
Why do I have to purchase again? Is this a scam? Will I lose my documents? This has happened to several friends as well.
Any advice appreciated.
