Microsoft Word - Fillable form-- Keeping Title field static

Fillable form-- Keeping Title field static

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 12:55 PM PST

Hello- I have researched this topic and was able to create a fillable form.  I just have encountered an issue when typing information- the text moves to the right.  I was able to define the lenght in the fields where data is entered.  Once I start typing the info...the label and field to the righ moves as I am typing.  How can I keep the title field anchored...ex: Date, Agency etc.. Below is a partial pic of my form.  Thanks

Is it better to add images and their captions when you are done editing a document rather than adding as you go?

I have been inserting images and captions as I type a document , and as a result have been having problems with the images and captions moving around properly. There must be a better way!!

Computer slowed down since installing Office 365

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 12:09 PM PST

Ever since I installed Office 365, key strokes seem to be slightly slower like there is a slight delay which makes work frustrating.  Any idea why this is and what to do to speed it up.  I also have Word 2003 on my computer.  I am not a tech savvy person.

Numbering or Bullets within OUtline View

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 11:23 AM PST

I have searched all over for this; I can't find the answer. 

When working in the Outline View, is there any way for the different levels to be show numbering or bullets? Basically, I want to combine Outlining and Numbering; so that whenever I go to the next level in Outline View, the numbering system understand that as a new level and applies the appropriate next level of numbering. (e.g. 1.A.I  ------> 1.A.I.a)

MS Word 2010 Pagination Problem

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 08:50 AM PST

I created an MS Word document and have setup several styles.  The document requires me to go from double columns to single columns when I need to center a text heading across the entire page.  When I do this, I add a "Continuous Break" and change from double to single columns and vice versa.  The page after that must have the page number reset so that instead of just the page number being displayed, it must also show the chapter number (e.g., 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, etc.)  When this happens, the page with the continuous break does not show the chapter number in the auto-generated table of contents (TOC).  So, randomly throughout the TOC, page numbers show as 4-1, 2, 4, 4-6, 4-7, 4-9, etc. as an example.  Why do some page numbers show up in the TOC with chapter numbers and some don't?  The only common problem I can see is the continuous page breakes on the pages without chapter numbers.  How do I get the TOC to show proper pagination for chapter sections?

I'm having problems with editing the Data Source in Mail Merge with WORD in Office 2007

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 08:27 AM PST

I am trying to make mailing labels for Christmas cards. My original datasource was from Word from Office 2000.

 

I tried using that data source in WORD 2007. I can view and edit it, but it will not save the edits that I have made.

 

Is there a fix to this? Is this not backwards compatible? or do I have to reenter all that data into a newer version of WORD (I really hope this is not the case)?

Shortcut recorded in unusual location & can't find it

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST

hi, I have a Word 2007 shortcut key problem. At some earlier time, I assigned on one computer the key Alt-H to the fraction symbol "1/2".

I would like to remove the shortcut, but can't find where the setting is recorded.

Where might this shortcut be hidden?

Under Insert>Symbol>More symbols>Symbol>[1/2]>Shortcut Key>Customize Keyboard, no "Current keys" are listed.

Swapping my standard "Normal.dotm", with a cleaner one does solve the problem, but obviously removes several years of important customizations as well.

Word 2013 high cpu usage even when not editing or scrolling

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:41 AM PST

Hello,
I am having a problem with Word 2013 on Win 7 x64, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM. The problem is that Word uses approximately 20% cpu when it has focus but is idle (i.e. I've clicked in the Window but not typing). If Word does not have focus, it does not use any CPU time. This occurs for every document I've tried, including new blank documents with no text. If I start Word in safe mode (winword /safe from a Run window), Word uses approximately 2% CPU. I've tried repairing my Office 2013 installation, disabling all add-ins, disabling hardware acceleration, disabling sub-pixel rendering, and disabling animations through the widely available registry key hack, but none of these have solved the problem. Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks!

Why are certain styles undeletable?

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:48 AM PST

I am working a lot with Word's styles and I am putting substantial effort into only assigning and using what I call "logical" styles, i.e. styles named and used by purpose (vs. "visual styles" which are created and used by many people by directly adjusting font and style attributes).


I also always try to keep the style list clean, such that a document only uses and contains those "well-defined" styles, but none of those "Style ...." entries.


Occasionally, however, some of these "Styles ..." seem to be "undeletable", e.g. there currently is a style named "Style List Bullet + Left:  0 cm First line:  0 cm" in the list. Right-clicking shows, that there are 2 instances using that style, but when I click "select 2 instances..." nothing happens and Word does not navigate to the location where that style is used. But clicking on "Delete" also shows no effect.


So, how can I locate the document position, where this style hides, so that I can correct that fragment and then get rid of this style?

Extracting specifics of Word Headers/Footers

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:44 AM PST

 I have hundreds of documents where we'll need to change the headers/footers.   Right now, I'm pulling out the text of them to see what we have using code like this.  There are some documents that do have what appears to be a picture in the header, but I'm not finding it with the shapes.  

 

 

 

        For Each mySection In myDoc.Sections
            myCount = myCount + 1
            lRow = lRow + 1
            myWS.Cells(lRow, 1) = myDoc.Name
            myWS.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=myWS.Cells(lRow, 1), Address:=myDoc.FullName
            myWS.Cells(lRow, 2) = myDoc.FullName
            For j = 1 To 6
                If j = 1 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage)
                ElseIf j = 2 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage)
                ElseIf j = 3 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
                ElseIf j = 4 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
                ElseIf j = 5 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages)
                ElseIf j = 6 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages)
                End If
               
                myWS.Cells(lRow, 2 + j) = myHF.Range.Text
               
                For Each myShape In myHF.Shapes
                    Debug.Print myShape.Name
                Next myShape
            Next j

       Next mySection

 

What I really need is: 

 

1)  Are there shapes in the header?   If so, we'll need to treat those docs differently

2)  Are there references to PAGE #'s in the header/footer.   Looking at the TEXt doesn't give it to me.

3)  How do I add the page numbers back in programmatically?  

 

Thanks so much for your help,

File size, styles and the use of normal.dotx in odt files Word 2010

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 03:11 AM PST

Because I want to crossindex my documents (usually 1 - 3 pages) externally I switched from putting them in one big file, using header(styles) to order them to separate files, where the filename starts with a datenumber (20131213A1). It seems that even in the most minimal saving mode these files become relatively large. I really would like to save only the text and codes representing formatting. The formatting itself should come from normal.dotm and Building Blocks.dotx and maybe other standard files. It turns out that saving as an odt file is the most efficient resulting in a 13k file for the same text as a 28k file in docx format. Still too much overhead I would say, but okay.

Of course there are some things that are not supported in this format, but what is really baffling is that when saving in the odt-format and then reopening the document the standard quickstyles (in fact  all the default styles) have disappeared and replaced by a set I can't use. The formatting itself has not changed. In the visual basic Editor I can see there is a "reference" to normal. With styles>import I can copy the styles from normal.dot again into the odt file and then go on but when I save and reopen again I have to repeat this. Just saving the odt leaves the styles in place. Is these some template for odt-files that is hidden somewhere that I can change? Or are there any other settings I can use? The alternative would be to introduce a "dots" format: a dotx which only saves the absolutely necessary references and shows only plain text when these references are not to be reached. I guess such a solution will have to wait for Office 2025.

In the meantime I hope there will be some suggestions here on how to tackle this. The most primitive some VBA code that copies the styles to the odt file upon opening.

Macro help to create a chronological running shift log

Hello,

 

I wonder if  a macro might be the tool I need to create my running log.

1502-     Called manager for update

1455-     Received call from employee in the field 

 

 and I want the macro to perform the following steps.

 

Time is automatically populated upon opening the document and it must be in the 24hr clock

there must be a hyphen at the end of the time

5 spaces between the hyphen and the start of the text.

Input text

Upon text completion pressing ENTER will commit the following actions.

1. The cursor is moved above the inputted text.

2. The time is populated with the hyphen.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All Word Documents Changed to "Office Open XLM Document" and De-Formatted after Windows 7 Update

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 05:56 PM PST

Today's Windows updated changed all my Word documents to "Office Open XLM" documents so that they only open in WordPad...this results in removal of most of the formatting and any graphics or pictures in the Word documents are gone....This is 20 years of work!

I tried changing the association of the files with WordPad to Word....Couldn't make it happen though I was at the correct place to do that.

I tried changing the file type of individual documents -- Word is not available.

I tried creating a new document in Word (The program is still on my computer), but the only possibilities are for saving in Open XML, text and rich text, none of which have real formatting available.

Everything was working fine until the minute the Updates were installed.

Help!!!!

Need a hand with a Visual Basic automation question

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 05:52 PM PST

Hello, all! 

Here's what I'm up to : 

I've created a template/form in Word 2010 for a data entry person to fill out. Simple enough : Name , address, phone number, other information. 
I did this using the developer tools, and content controls. Fairly easy ( though the option to format the data to be entered, and the maximum length features seem to have been removed in Word 2010 ) .

What I would like to do is to create a button that preforms the following steps : 

1. Save the document as a word document using data in the content controls. For example using the fields LAST_NAME and DATE to create a file name of DOE-JOHN-12/10/13.doc
2. Print the document to fax ( as provided in the file menu ) 
3. Re-Load the template or blank the entered fields for the next use. 

I've been told that this might be better done in Excel, but to be honest I could not see how it could be done in excel. 

All help is welcome, and appreciated.

Oifice on windows 8, decktop task bar.

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 04:30 PM PST

I'm new to office 2010 and windows 8, I've noticed that all aspects of the suite are separate, word excel etc. To put all of the separate apps onto the task bar is going to look very untidy and not very practical. Is there a way to bundle all of the office apps onto one button?  As I was disappointed to find that there was no single office tile, but 13 separate app tiles. Not quite microsofts brightest idea. Any solution to this issue would be much appreciated

Referring to the Next Item Order Item

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 04:04 PM PST

I am preparing a legal brief which requires that I refer to a bunch of numbered exhibits.

I determine the number of the number by its position in my Word document; the number of the exhibit has nothing to do with the paragraph number, a footnote, etc.  For example,

1.   bla bla bla.  See Exhibit 1.    bla bla bla.  See Exhibit 2.
2.    bla bla bla. See Exhibit 3.

How is that done?

TIA

How do I obtain the templates for myletters from office 2010 to 2013

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:42 PM PST

Over the last 20 years or so, I created a set of templates for word. From the first version to the last they all transferred through.
This time, my office 2010 was left intact. 2013 got the emails and the contacts but not the templates. I assume that there is a way, so can anyone advise me?
