Microsoft won't let me open downloaded documents!!!!

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 10:28 AM PST

So I have always downloaded documents from my school website and saved them.  For some reason now when I try to download documents or try to open saved documents that I previously downloaded window tells me "the document may be read only, or encrypted." or it also will say "cannot access document anymore as it may be locked, or corupted".  Help I really need these documents for school.  Also I tried using my roomate's computer and the documents download fine on hers and at the school.

Word 2013 Poor Font Rendering

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:42 AM PST

Just upgraded to Office 2013 from 2010 at work. I've made sure that Office 2013 has been updated.


I noticed that documents looked terrible in Word 2013 whereas they had looked fine in 2010.

Then I found that while font rendering in Word is poor, Excel is fine just as it was in 2010!


Here is an example.

Note how:

1. The word Hello is rendered differently in Word compared to Excel

2. The text AaBbCcDd is rendered differently in the Word document compared to the ribbon in Word

When a full document is viewed in Word 2013, the effect of this difference makes the document horrible to read.


If you zoom in on the image, it appears that Excel correctly uses ClearType with sub pixel rendering whereas Word does not and seems to use some form of grey scaling which looks terrible.


I've tried various advanced display options in Office 2013 including the one about using sub pixel rendering and hardware acceleration. None of them cause Word to correctly use ClearType.


Word 2013 is therefore incorrectly rendering the fonts in the document causing a very poor result which makes the document noticeably more difficult to read than any other text rendering in Windows or previous versions of Word.


There are some other threads which may be about this issue but still no resolution. I have put this clear example together to highlight just how obviously wrong Word 2013 is and therefore why this issue needs to be corrected.

How on earth do I get support from someone at Microsoft? I have an office 365 subscription, but try as I might . .

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST

. . I can't find a way to get help. Admittedly, I've found this box, but my hope of getting real support from someone at Microsoft is low. Microsoft, prove me wrong!

The problem (apart from being unable to contact support) is as follows. In Word, the busy pointer - the circle - appears nearly always when I navigate within the document (by pressing the cursor keys). This is irritating and I suspect it is not by design. I have a powerful, clean computer, and I don't think the problem is (as the web suggests it often is) with the printer driver. I'll supply more details on request. I look forward to hearing from you.

Printing specific pages in a merged document

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:39 AM PST

I created a merge document and have saved the file.  I am able to print the entire document, but unable to print "current page" or a selected number of pages, ie: 1,5,9,13.  I have tried different printers and computers to no avail.  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Thank you

List Justification problem in Word

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 04:11 AM PST

I often create documents which are primarily lists where I want to format using Word bullets or numbering with a 'heading' line followed by the 'details' starting on the following line.  To do this you have to use Ctrl+Enter to avoid the 'heading' being a separate number from the 'details'.  This is OK until you decide to Justify the text as then the 'heading' is justified, which looks awful.  For example: 
Apart from making every 'detail' section a sub-para I can't find a way of doing this.  Can anyone else help?

Workflow in Word and OneNote

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 03:03 AM PST

Hello all.

There's something I've been wondering about regarding my workflow in Microsoft Office.

Let me describe what I'm currently doing.

I'm preparing for an exam as a guide of a certain route. I'm going through a document I previously collaborated on with my co-students and translating each of its 30 different segments into the language I'll be taking the exam in. I'm also jotting down summaries and key figures for each leg.

Originally I started out working on each segment separately, each on its own Onenote page. I haven't used Onenote before and figured it'd be relatively easy to tag the texts somehow and then make Onenote export Word documents based on the tags (one with the translations and one with the summaries). This would mean I could reuse my work easily going forward, re-ordering the Onenote pages with searches and combining them with new ones for other different routes once I actually started working as a guide.

It's becoming clear that the program doesn't actually support this.

So I think my strategy will be to just have three different Word files open simultaneously on my screen and switching between them. This is okay but it won't really be the start of the database I was so looking forward to. In the future I'll have to go through these files and manually cut and paste them into new documents, also there'll be no connection between the file with the full texts and the file with the summaries. This is daunting because on my computer I've already got hundreds of different files by myself and others with various types of information; it'd be so very useful to be able to query them based on tags, and to have unprocessed information separate from the info I've gone over and made summaries of, &c.

Is there anybody on here who's faced and solved similar problems?

Thanks for your time.

How do I insert an envelope at the END of a document instead of the beginning (Word 2010)?

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 06:52 PM PST

When I use ADD TO DOCUMENT, no matter where my cursor is, the envelope is added at the beginning of the document.  The only way I seem to be able to get it at the end of the document is to set it up from scratch.  I have tried to copy and paste the format from other documents which miraculously have their envelopes at the end of the document, but no amount of coaxing using paste options will make it work.

Would appreciate any help.

Regards, Michelle

Word 2013 insufficient memory to update the display

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 03:40 PM PST

Hi everyone
When I open a certain document in Word 2013 (not all docs, just this specific one), Word says "There is not enough memory or disk space to update the display". I can open the doc but I am having lots of trouble editing it - Word crashes, fails to save, etc.
I am working on Windows 8, with Word 2013. I have only had this computer 3 months, so there is plenty of memory and disk space on the computer.

Any one had this problem? How does one sort it out?
