Microsoft Word - Word 2007 document opens by trying to connect to printer

Microsoft Word - Word 2007 document opens by trying to connect to printer

Word 2007 document opens by trying to connect to printer

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 01:51 PM PST

I have adapted a word document (Newsletter) from previous editor but when I open it, it is extremely slow as it is trying to connect to a printer as it opens. The message in the bottom left of screen says to press ESC to skip. If you press ESC fairly quickly the document seems to open normally.

How do I stop it from trying to connect to a printer while opening?

I'm ok with pressing ESC to get to the doc but I have to send it to many members and don't want to send faulty document.

Assistance appreciated!!

Can't print an envelope

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 01:33 PM PST

This is a reply to Mr. Doug Robbins email to me about what I had put in the MS Community last week.

Community,

I am using MS Office 2007, but this problem is also effecting Corel's WordPerfect X5.  I use both programs because each offers unique features that I like depending on what I'm doing.

The problem is that neither program will print an envelope, all they do is send it through the printer with no address or printing of any kink.  My computer system is using Windows 7, and until about a month ago or so is when the problem appeared.

Things that have been tried to resolve it are as follows:
     1.  Uninstalled & reinstalled both programs.  I also reinstalled my printer.  No help.
     2.  Reformatted my "C" drive and reloaded it as it came from the factory, then reinstalled the two programs.  This worked until Microsoft's 150 updates
         downloaded and installed on my computer.  Some of these updates were for older programs and appeared when I did a shut down of the unit.
         When the computer was turned on the next morning the downloads did their thing, then the problem appeared.
     3.  "ehow" had a what they thought would work, and that was to change some "HEXKEY" settings, to know avail.
     4.  I even downloaded SP3 from Corel for WordPerfect and that worked for both programs for a couple of test prints, then back to square one.

I also have an account with the United States Post Office (USPS) which allows me to create a mailing label, pay the postage for my package then print the label.  This also does not work.  This is why I feel it is something in the computers operating system that has been made corrupt.

As to the question that Mr. Robbins put in his email to me, there are no error messages, just no printed envelope or USPS label being printed, both are blank.

I hope that someone out there will be able to assist me in getting this corrected.  Also if someone has contact with Microsoft please let them know of the problem.

If further information is needed you may contact me at my email address.  If phone contact or a connection to my computer is needed let me know in the email.

Thank you all for any assistance you may give me in this matter.

Respectfully yours,
William Ruskin

Change the app Word 2013 uses for the "Define" dictionary

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 01:27 PM PST

When you highlight a word in Word 2013 and right click it, one of the options is "Define" to define the highlighted word. The Define option requires you to choose an App for Office that is called when the option is selected.

I associated the Wikipedia app with this option, but I realized later that I preferred Bing Dictionary. Unfortunately, adding Bing Dictionary to my Apps for Office was not enough to replace Wikipedia as the default app for Define. The only way to get the Define option to call Bing Dictionary now is to hide the Wikipedia app completely. I don't want to do this, since I would like to still be able to use the Wikipedia app in different circumstances (i.e., other than from the right-click menu's Define option).

How can I change Word's default app for Define to be Bing Dictionary and still be able to keep the Wikipedia app unhidden and available for use through the Apps for Office ribbon menu?

Compatibility with Write N Cite

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 10:53 AM PST

As a PhD student who just purchased a new laptop and Office 365 to use while writing my dissertation, I'm very upset the Microsoft Word 2013 is NOT compatible with Write N Cite 4.0, the program my university uses for references.  As I can't find a legitimate copy of Office 2010 anywhere, I'm feeling totally screwed.  When do you expect the compatibility issue to be resolved?  And in the meantime, can I purchase a copy of Office 2010?

Track changes issue

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 09:02 AM PST

Word 2010. I am using Track Changes and am fairly proficient at it. However, I would like to remove the option (if it is one) that shows details of changes when the mouse hovers over them in the text. I just want to see the changes as normal insertions or balloons for deletions in the appropriate colour as normal at the side and as default.

 

The problem is the 'extra' balloons that appear over the actual text if the mouse is hovered over a change (this obliterates my view of the surrounding text), and I'd like to remove just this item.

Word2010 form letter data

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 08:50 AM PST

I use  word2010 to generate form invoices with data stored in Xcel, I have been able to link all data using the

mail merge function.

 

The problem is that if the imported data is a number like 44.99 the data in the form invoice displays as 44.99. But if the

imported data is 45.00 the displayed data will be shown as 45.

 

As this is an invoice I need to have the xx.00 data shown .

 

Have tried the formula command in mail merge with no success.

 

Any ideas a to what is happening and how to fix it.

 

Thank you

Dennis

Licence Type for Word 2013 single product

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 07:39 AM PST

I've just purchased the download version of Word 2013 from the Microsoft Store.

However, on launching Word 2013, it asks me to agree to the licence terms, which start with:

"To determine which one of the two separate sets of license terms below apply to you, check the license designation.  This is printed either on your product key, or might be shown on your Certificate of Authenticity, or on the download page if you obtained the software online. If your designation is "FPP," "Retail" or "PIPC," then the Retail License Terms below apply to you.  If OEM, then the OEM License Terms below apply to you.  If you need help, please go to microsoft.com/office/eula to determine which license you have."

I have two issues with this:

1) None of the download pages have any indication on them that I can see about the licence type.

2) The microsoft.com/office/eula link now directs to the 365 subscription agreement, which isn't applicable.

How to stop Word 2003 from copying layout preferences when pasting?

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 07:11 AM PST

Using Word 2003 on XP. This is hard to describe.  I'm copying text from a website.  I want the text to paste into a Word document using the existing font style and size already used in that Word document.  Is it possible to get Word to ignore some of the formatting its copying?  For example, I copy some text and when I paste it to the Word document it adds a bunch of empty lines after it.  When I backspace to delete the lines all the stuff afterward changes font size to match the thing I just pasted.  I tried removing every autoformat option I could but its doesn't affect this.  Something is telling it to match the font size/style to the joined text.  But what is that and how to stop it?

Uneditable scanned document in unrecognizable language

Posted: 03 Nov 2013 06:46 AM PST

I saved a resume in MS Word shortly after purchasing MS Office late in 2012, but had to do a complete restore a few months ago.  I scanned the hard copy of this resume into my computer for updating and it only scans as an image in another language that cannot be edited!   I investigated the save choices and the default language to make sure it was correct.  MS Office wasn't one of these choices.  I have it saved as a .tiff file at this time.  What do I do now?  Isn't there an OCR functionality in Office?  I have scanned and edited documents in the past. How to I get to an editable English document??  HELP!
