Wildcards in MS Word

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 01:34 PM PST

I am trying to find all phone numbers that are in the format of (123) 456-7890 and replace it with 123.456.789 by using wildcards.  I'm trying to use this to do it but it won't recognize the parentheses around the first 3 digits.  How do I fix this problem?

Start leaking ink, office 2010, where is it?

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST

Hi, while working on a document in MS Word, I found something in the ribbon that said "Start Leaking Ink". being curious as usual, I clicked it, and found something that allows me to draw right on my document. I didn't keep notes about it, now, I have spent hours to find it, with no luck. Can anybody tell me where to look for it?

Microsoft Word - Stopped Working

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 11:21 AM PST

In the middle of Using Word 2007 to create a document, I received a message that said MS Word has stopped working... A LIE... It continued to work to remove all revisions to the work that I had completed.  No back-up document, just delete all changes that I made since opening the document.   I can't believe that it didn't create some kind of restore point.  The software deleted more than an hour's work !

Word program won't load keeps saying I am not connected to the internet when I am

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 09:22 AM PST

I purchased from Office Max - online - a Word program.  I have Windows 7.  There is no disk, only a "key".  No matter how many times I've attempted to install it, it won't load.  It keeps saying that I am not connected to the internet - when I am.  
Help - didn't have $70 to give away.  I only bought Word - not the entire office program.

Creating Footer causes Header "box" to become too large

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 09:08 AM PST

In Word 2002 (Office XP), if I paginate starting on page 1 it appears as 1/2" deep narrow Header box with page number in it.  BUT on same page 1, when I create a one-line footer, then on Page 2 the Header box becomes 4 inches deep.  It is empty except for the small page number at the top, but the text on that page WON'T start until below the 4-inch empty new box caused by the footer (and there's no way to make that 4-inch box less deep like it is on Page 1).  AND, all Word doc's (NEW files) I try to create now will NOT start text until below that 4-inch empty Header box created on the completely unrelated File I just described.  Is there any way I can fix this?  I can't afford the time or money to update my Word at this time, and I'm in the middle of editing a book and the deadline is looming.  Please help me if you can!!

CITATIONS and BIBLIOGRAPHIES

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 07:43 AM PST

Is there any way that I can add a Format Style to my Citations and Bibliography.

I do not mean Citation Style (APA, MLA etc.), but things like a different font, italics and so forth.

The citation (in particular) takes on the style of the text being cited and so does not stand out from it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Word 2003 (and any Office app) error on opening - Microsoft Office Word has stopped working

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 02:47 AM PST

Windows 8
Microsoft Word 2003

Recently, opening Word 2003 has become a problem. 

If I want to open the application directly, I get this error "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working".
However, if I click on a DOC file, Word opens and is usable.

I found these:
1. The problem appears if Word is opened with the task pane on. If I cancel that from Options, Word will open. 
2. If Word is open (without the task pane) and I attempt to click on Shared Workspace, it will provide the same error.
3. The same behaviour is shown by Excel.

That led me to think:
1. It is a problem throughout the Office Suite, not only related to Word.
2. It might have to do with the network connection or with Word's relation with the Internet Explorer.

I repaired both Word and IE (the latter even reset, uninstalled and reinstalled), but the problem remains.

What can I do to nail it?

How do I select an image in Word 2007?

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 11:17 PM PST

I wish to insert an image in a w07 document, write a caption for it, and encapsulate both in a frame.
I use Ribbon --> Insert --> Picture to place the image in the document and right-click on what I can see of it.
I select Format Picture --> Layout --> In-line with text.
All I get to see of the image is a strip the height of one Normal paragraph, and I cannot select it.  The Blue background goes straight from the paragraph below the image to the paragraph above the image.  No blued image.  Consequently, I cannot wrap it in a frame.

What do I have wrong?

autotext and templates in win 8.1

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 10:57 PM PST

I've just bought a new computer with win 8.1 and first wasted ages trying to find out why it never reboots from restart and sometimes from cold (no help from MESH computer technical support), but then found it was a known problem!

The next problem is how to get my autotext and templates from Word 2010 from my xp computer to my new win 8.1. I had templates in Templates (including normal.dot), and an autotext file in Word/Startup (this contains all my addresses), but if I simply copy them into the appropriate places in User etc\Microsoft/Roaming, Word says it can't open them, then asks if i want to save changes to normal,dot and says I can't save with the same name and doesn't give an option to do anything else except cancel save. In addition, I can't access these files I've installed or delete them, as it says I don't have permission. I found how to show Administrator, but still couldn't access them, so had to re-install a pre-Word installation backup, but now don't want to try again before I find out how to do this, as I've already wasted masses of time on it. Any ideas?

Just for interest (my main concern is the one above), presumably it uses a normal.dot, but where is it?

How do I turn of IM notifications while in Office Online Apps Windows 365?

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 08:40 PM PST

I am working on documents in my Windows 365 online office apps and I get notifications from about m Facebook Private Messages and then the tab continues to blink with 'Sally Says' even when I've viewed the message. I would like to disable this, and/or disconnect the link between my Office 365 account and my FB account. I don't see a way to do this in the account settings. Can someone help?

Removing word wrapping: Best approach? (For ereaders)

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 05:19 PM PST

I use an ereader a lot but formatting documents for it is often a challenge.  I have some reference documents, not available in typical ereader format, that I need to convert manually.  The originals were mobi and pdf.  So I just copied the text into a word processing program and am now trying to eliminate all the word wrapping breaks.  Otherwise, on the ereader, lines are segmented.  To do this manually will take an eternity.  So are there programs that do this?  Is there a term for this?  Sort of batch type formatting conversion of a document.  I think I may have just copied the text into Notepad with Word Wrap off and that seemed to work OK but then I lost some of the formatting (like italics).  


If you use an ereader you quickly realize that you want a fresh slate so to speak so you can choose font type, text weight/sharpness/etc, zero margins to use the maximum amount of screen space (always lacking in an ereader!) and a few other things.  The point is you want your document to be controllable as much as possible.  So you don't want any formatting from the past interfering with what you want to do.  Things like italics are important to preserve for most people but, at least for me, that's about it.  Otherwise its just the words that matter.  

Closure of document recovery causes Microsoft Word to stop respond

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 04:27 PM PST

Hi,

 

I am facing a problem with Microsoft Word 2013.

 

Every time I open Microsoft Word 2013, the document recovery appears with a list of documents. Whenever I try to close the document recovery, Microsoft Word becomes not responding. I don't get the chance to choose the options [Yes, I want to view these files later OR No, remove the files. I have saved the files I need.] as Microsoft Word just stop responding every time at this stage.

 

Please kindly advise!
