Microsoft Word - Autonumber Word Table

Autonumber Word Table

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 03:08 PM PST

I would like to autonumber a table as with the following examples:

  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 1 (Heading level 1)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. or 1-01, 1-02, 1-03, etc.)
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 1.1 (Heading level 2)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 1.1-1, 1.1-2, 1.1-3, etc. or 1.1-01, 1.1-02, 1.1-03, etc.))
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 2.3 (Heading level 2)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 2.3-1, 2.3-2, 2.3-3, etc. or 2.3-01, 2.3-02, 2.3-03, etc.)
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 3.4.1 (Heading level 3)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 3.4.1.1, 3.4.1.2, 3.4.1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 3.4.1-1, 3.4.1-2, 3.4.1-3, etc. or 3.4.1-01, 3.4.1-02, 3.4.1-03, etc.)

...and so on.

 

I'm sure this is possible, but how?

 

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

 

Office 365 - Specifically with Word

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 02:50 PM PST

In Word 2013 I was able to call up multiple documents and have them available. Now it seems like Word is emulating Excel in only allowing the program to be run one at a time. This is frustrating because I like to have my papers available and also a blank page to use for notes to make quick training guides. I cannot for the life of me think how 365 is an improvement. Also, can I access Office without having to log in? Thank-you.

Lost word at last upgrade

I bought a new computer recently. Somehow my word documents come out as a bunch of symbols and numbers, and can't get them to convert. How can I recover my documents?

Including images in mail merge- repeats same image for every entry

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST

Hello,

I am trying to make a photo directory for my office. I have my data saved in an excel spreadsheet (very basic, last name, first name, title, email, image file path). I am then creating a table in Word where I want to data to go. I am making a one row- three column table, so that all of the data will fit in a three column table, read left to right and top to bottom. I want the image of each person to sit next to the data in each block of the table.

 

My issue is that the correct image shows up in each of the first three blocks (Where I put the merge fields originally). THEN it repeats the same image in each column. (For example, all blocks in column a have the same image as the very first person, all blocks in column b have the same image as the second person, all blocks in column c have the same image as the third person.) I need each individual person to have his or her own image (obviously...)

 

I am using Word 2013. I am typing this to insert the image:

 

{INCLUDEPICTURE{IF TRUE{MERGEFIELD<<Headshot>>}}\d}

 

It has worked once or twice, but then when I try to format the images everything goes wrong. I am really at a loss and have searched the internet for hours trying to find an answer. Please help!

Office 2010, Skydrive Default Saving Windows 8.1

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 12:33 PM PST

So I realize that Office 2013 can easily save to SkyDrive by default with Windows 8.1.  But, I am still using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, and I can't find out how to save to SkyDrive by default.  I know you can do it manually, but that's not what I'm looking for.  Any help or answer would be appreciated.

Looking for How to create an Excel object to use in Word for find replace

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 10:11 AM PST

I have heard this can be done, I'm just looking for examples.

I want to make it easier to manage find replace lists for a Word file where incorrect user input requires the list to be periodically revised to account for misspellings of organizations, companies, countries, cities, etc

This could actually several worksheets depending on the circumstances. For example, a find replace for names of countries and another for companies.

I was unable to find a discussion I read a long time ago.

Somewhat complicated Word Merge problem

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 09:05 AM PST

I am attempting to create the merge document for tax letters.  The data will be coming from our database in Excel format (can use csv if that is easier).  Some of the payments had multiple applications and these are split out in the same row.  Other payments from the same individual are on different rows.  The ID of the constituent or the receipt number (all the same for all the payments) can be used for the key field.  I've attempted to use the coding from a knowledge base article about merging to a directory.


Currently, I have:


{if{mergeseq} = "1" "Date


Receipt #: {ReceiptNo}

Account: {ID}


{Addressee}

{Address}


Legal goobledegook


{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}" ""}{Set Place1{ID}}{if{Place2}<>{Place1} "(page break)Date


Receipt #: {ReceiptNo}

Account: {ID}


{Addressee}

{Address}


Legal goobledegook


{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}" "{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}"}{Set Place2{ID}}




I am having a few issues:


How to line the payment list up consistently so it is in 3 nicely formatted columns (Date aligned, Application, which is variable length, aligned and amount  aligned), preferably with a header.


It is working for the most part but when it adds the second row of payment information, it adds 2 extra line spaces between the payments.


How do I reasonably get the second application in a row in there?  I cannot change the export process to place each application in a separate row.


In a perfect world, the letter would also include the ID and Receipt number in the footer of the letter (in case it goes over to two pages).



The file I am attempting to use as a template was originally created in a much earlier version of Word and we are on a different database now that doesn't work the same with exporting, etc.  Those are two of the complications.  For aligning the columns mentioned above, the {advance} command was used but it is not working correctly and merges the fields, not the data. 


Any help is appreciated.  I really would not care to manually remove line breaks from thousands of letters.  If this is not appropriate to ask here, please let me know.

The Grammar checker is not working as expected

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 07:29 AM PST

Hi,

The Spelling checker is indeed working. However, I have typed several sentences with wrong grammar and Word does not recognize the mistakes. For example, I typed the following sentences:

The boys is going to park.

I does not do it.

I have going to California since September.

I are baboon.

The best things in life is free.


When I click the Spelling and Grammar checker, Word says "Spelling and grammar check complete. You're good to go!"


Is this a limitation of Word?


Thanks,


Lester

Office 2010 Skydrive Windows 8.1

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 11:58 PM PST

So I am aware that you can save to SkyDrive by default in Windows 8.1, but it always wants to save to local PC still.  Is there any way to default save like Office 2013?

Misbehaving table

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:44 PM PST

I have a half-page table of not too complex a layout which, every time I open my document, has its format changed. Is there anyplace I can  post this table and get comments on how to handle it with styles or any way to prevent it from changing? No existing style comes close to the layout I want.

Word needs a style which says, "do not change this." Seems simple enough.

This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:21 PM PST

Hello,

I just went to use Word 2013 and am getting the error "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked". Actually it is happening with ALL of my office products now.


Here are the answers to the questions you may be ready to ask me
  • My product level is Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium -- I pay a monthly fee for this and up until 5 minutes ago it has never given me any issues. Oh, yes, my subscription is up to date dn I just used Word yesterday and it worked fine.

  • It is for ALL MS products

  • NOTHING is locked. 


Here is what I can not do because of this error:
  • Type anything
  • Create ANY new file
  • USE the product



I looked all over the internet and I saw the same answers over and over again. Document must be locked bla bla. (I am TRYING to open a NEW document so it would be impossible for anything to be locked...nothing opens.


Also, the very first screen that lets you choose your template is skipped. I see it for about 1 second and then it's gone and Word just opens up a blank document. 



If you have ANY suggestions I would appreciate it because all of the other answers out there aren't helping at all. 


Thank you,

Wally

Differrent line layouts

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 08:47 PM PST

I have noticed many times that as I switch between Draft View and Print Layout View, the number of characters on a line changes, with Draft mode putting more text on each line. (In both modes, the text measures 4.7" inches wide, correct for 6" page width and 0.5" margins and .3" gutter. The letter spacing is Normal.) This inconsistency makes it hard to do several kinds of checks at once as I go through the document. Does anyone know why this exists and if there is any way around it? 

Office is Busy Notification

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 07:24 PM PST

For about two weeks now I have been receiving an "Office is Busy" notification saying that WINWORD.EXE can't be used right now, but that Microsoft will should be getting it back up soon, whenever i try to open any of the Office 365 entities. As a student I need to get these up and running again, and it is very frustrating that Microsoft thinks that two weeks up "should be back up soon" is soon enough. Please help.

Microsoft Office 2013 Error - "WINWORD.EXE - Application Error"

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 03:47 PM PST

I can't seem to open any Microsoft Office 2013 program. 

I haven't done anything to Microsoft Word 2013 but am very much in the need to use it during holiday break for a school project. I've got access to other computers, but I would also like to fix this one as well.

My dad bought Microsoft Office 2013 and I've been able to use it perfectly fine since July 2013. I try and open it and all of a sudden, I get a WINWORD.EXE - Application Error saying "The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000002) occured in the application at location 0x758ec41f". I've scanned my computer multiple times (Norton Security Suite) and checked for Windows Updates and nothing appears to work. Don't need this fixed as soon as possible, but hopefully soon.

Running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

Please help a student that would like to write his report on his own laptop!


Oh and that's what the message looks like. Thanks in advance!
