New 2013 Word table style doesn't retain banding colors

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 12:59 PM PST

I'm working in Word 2013 and created a new table style based on Grid Table 2 - Accent 5 and named it CLVS Colorful. I changed the header row to blue, changed even banded rows to tan, and the odd banded rows to no color. The new style displayed in the Table style gallery and tables assigned the style looked just as I wanted. However, as I continue to work in the document, the odd banded rows change to blue as in the original Grid Table 2 - Accent 5. All other attributes I assigned the new style are retained. What am I doing or not doing?

 

Thanks!

Problem With Return Address Margin When Printing Envelopes

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 12:46 PM PST

I recently got a new computer at work that is running Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. When I print an envelope (size 10), my return address is cut off. The margins are set to "auto", and when it prints there is a 1/2 inch margin, but the first few characters of every line are missing. Yes, I can change the margins to 1 inch and all the characters are there, but it looks stupid because the address is so far to the right. Anyone have any ideas...before I bang my head against the wall? ;)

Why Filepath automatically displays in footer? I did not insert it.....

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 12:24 PM PST

Hello,

 

I have inserted the document property [Comments] in the footer so I can display office branch address based on user selection from my Visual Studio C# app using MS Office Runtime.

 

It was working fine until I print preview and the FilePath is auto inserted next to the [Comments] field and this only happens on the 1st page of the entire document.  Would appreciate any hints as to how to turn it off or how I "made" it appear in the 1st place?  I did not insert any QuickParts in design mode or programmatically.  Thanks in advance......

 

I have pasted a picture of this below

 

Word 2013 on Surface Pro- Inking with Pen and not finger?

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 11:49 AM PST

I would like to use my Surface Pro and the included Pen to fill out information on a form and only have the pen write information on the document, so I can use my finger to do things like swipe up to scroll, pinch to zoom in and out, etc.  But when I touch the screen with my finger, it is recognized the same as the pen and puts a black line across the page.


OneNote does this without any problems, how can I set Word to act the same way?

Display of Unusual Unicode Characters

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 11:27 AM PST

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I use Microsoft Office 2010 and Windows 8. I have just downloaded a font called "Junicode", which has a number of unusual characters in the "Private Use" area of the character chart. However, in Microsoft Word, a lot of these characters display as white question marks inside black rectangles. Can anybody suggest what the problem might be?

Many Thanks,

In Word 2013, track changes not showing individual editors--all are now "author"

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 11:17 AM PST

I don't know what happened, and I can't seem to find any setting to fix this. When I make edits, my name shows up with the changes I make. But after I save it, my name disappears. This happens for anyone else who is editing the doc as well. I checked the advanced track changes settings and they are set to distinguish different authors' edits by color. What went wrong?

Word 2013 Mailing function

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 10:47 AM PST

I'm running Windows 8 on a new Lenovo Ultrabook.  The Mailings function in my Word 2013 has trouble with envelope and label addresses.  In each address line, the first letter registers and appears but the rest of the letters in the line don't appear for up to 2 minutes.  It takes a very long time to address an envelope or label!  Is this a settings problem or something more serious?  Thanks.

Word macros

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 08:39 AM PST

I am trying to record macros within a Word 2007 document.  I can edit the document with no problems, but

as soon as I press "Record a Macro", a "cassette" icon appears, and I cannot do anything within the document.

Does Word 2007 actually allow recording macros (MS-Excel 2007 has deficiencies in macro recording), and

if so, is there a parameter I need to set to allow the document to be edited?

Office Word 2013 Tables

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 07:56 AM PST

The table resize handles in Office Word 2013 DO NOT show up when my cursor is in a table, or I hover the pointer over the table. I can do the same thing on my desktop (Windows 8.1 Word 2010) and the handles show up, but not on Windows 8.1 Office 2013 on my Surface Pro 2. How do I enable them?

I am in print layout view. The online help says, "In print layout view, rest the pointer on the table until the table resize handle appears on the lower-right corner of the table." Well, does NOT show up.

How do I change my files from WinRAR to Documents?

Split Microsoft Word (Office 2010 and Windows 7)

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 05:12 AM PST

How can I split a MS-Word File into multiple documents, based on a "Title" rather than specific number of pages.  We receive documents than contain multiple documents within the file that must be "split" apart.  The pages of the files vary, but each have a unique heading in them.  The workstations use Windows 7 and we use MS-Office 2010, but will also be migrating to Office 365 within the year.

 

Thanks,

hi

 

is it possible to create a text style, or by using borders, to create a double underline, with two different colours applied to the underline?  I want to create a heading style that uses two different colours, without using a jpeg that I would need to position everytime......

Is there a way to iterate through and examine links in a Document?

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 02:02 AM PST

Hello,

If I have an MS Word file linked to several Excel spreadsheets, is there a way that I can step through each link in the Word file, and then see to which source file (and/or cell) the link refers?

Many thanks!

Unable to use proofing

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 01:11 AM PST

I am unable to use any proofing.  I get a tick at the bottom.  I do not get red or green underlining for incorrect spellings or styles.  This problem started suddenly just a couple of days ago.

 

I read some solutions online, and accordingly uninstalled Microsoft Office 2007, rebooted my PC, and reinstalled Microsoft Office 2007.

 

This did not help.  The same problem continues.  I am begging for a solution.

incompatibility problem between documents in microsoft word version 7 and word for mac 2011 version 14

Posted: 05 Nov 2013 12:18 AM PST

Hi
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with a problem. I am not brilliant with technology so please allow for that!
I have sent some documents to a client. I have used microsoft word version 7 whilst my client uses a mac - word for mac 2011 version 14.
When my client tries to update the table of contents on her mac they become jumbled and out of line.
The really strange thing is that when she emails a copy of jumbled text back to me it displays perfectly on my pc screen.
She has even uploaded a copy to dropbox but again when I display it on my pc it is perfect.
Any advice or guidance would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Lynne

Recent docs list for Excel and Word

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 09:27 PM PST

Before I installed Office 2013 yesterday I had a long-time issue (I had Office 2010) where the recent documents would not show up in the task bar or start menu for Excel and Word. By task bar I mean the little pop up you get when you click on an Office application and drag up.

I thought installing Office 2013 would fix the issue, as it'll be brand new software, but the recent documents STILL won't appear. What's even more annoying is how it works for Powerpoint but not the other two, Word and Excel

I've tried to follow this solution, but it didn't work...

Any other suggestions on how to fix this issue?

No Synonym menu on right click

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 09:10 PM PST

Running Office 365 Home/Small Business on Surface Pro, Windows 8.1. When I highlight a word and right click I get a menu that shows font size, etc but no menu that permits selection a synonym or ability to add a word to my dictionary.  I can do this on one of my desktops which is also running Office 365 as part of the shared package of 5 installs. The right click menu feature does not work on my wife's Surface Pro or on her desktop system.  Anyone have a thought or similar experience

Hidden Text Pages printing blank

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 06:14 PM PST

Certain pages within my document are completely made up of hidden text. Each page commences with Heading 2 style and starts on a new page.
The Table of Contents updates and removes each hidden page, however, the page itself is still printing - as a blank page.
How can I stop these pages from printing?

Microsoft Word 2013 -not able to open files

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 05:49 PM PST

Hi,

I recently bought Word 2013 and have been saving documents created on it on both my laptop and Skydrive. It creates docx files, which I then can´t open again in Skydrive as it can´t recognise the file -even though I´m using the same laptop I saved it on only a few minutes previously-, or anywhere else it seems.
Is there a way around this to make the files standard Word files? I also have problems opening Word documents sent to me via email with older Word formats, which is making life pretty difficult considering I need to use this every day.

I´ve never had this problem before, Word is Word is Word, is it not?!

Thanks for any help you can provide!

changing the default in a word doc final review

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 03:22 PM PST

I would like to know how to get my word documents to open (as a default) in a final view rather than in a final mark up status. I have unchecked all options in the 'show markup' dropdown, but it does not save them. This does not happen on all word documents, just some.

 

If I forget to go into reveiw and choose FINAL, then i print documents that have all the edit marks.
