Prevent auto word wrap at end of line

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:32 AM PST

I want to prevent automatic word wrap from splitting "7 p.m." so the 7 is on one line and the p.m. is at the margin on the next line down.

I thought that Shift+space or Ctrl+space or Alt+space might work, but they don't. 

I would usually fudge by forcing a hard return before the 7, but my document is fully justified, so the right hand margin cut off before the 7 really stands out. 

What can I do?

Corrupt Microsoft 2007 word document

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:20 AM PST

Hello All,

I was working on a Microsoft 2007 document- my essay actually.  And I saved it on a USB. I decided to take a short nap and I shut down my laptop and ejected the USB . When I woke up, I couldn't open the document from the USB. The message from Microsoft  read: the file cannot be opened because there are errors with its contents.

I didn't save the document any where else or back it up.

Please help!!!! I have missed my deadline already.

Thank you.

Is it possible to link all of my web pages to the one/same folder/css/style sheets?

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:10 AM PST

It started with a single web page - then another, then another, then a bit of a folder heirachy
Now its almost a website
I am having a lot of trouble maintaining the integrity and I know i should use a proper web design tool but my demands are few
MS Word creates a new folder for each webpage I save
When I want to add a 'similar' folder I have used copy/paste/edit/save method

Now I am at the point where I need to shift some folder/structure around, but it's awkward with webpage.html & webpage folder structure

To simplify the whole structure:

Is it possible to link all of my web pages to the one webpage folder/css thats in the root folder

Dont mind fiddling around for a while until I can get one web page to work because then i can copy paste it

Office Web Apps changed today

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 10:28 AM PST

Until today, when I tried to create a new document (for example a Word doc) using Office Web Apps,, I was prompted for a file name, and then the doc opened in the same browser window. Today, I am no longer prompted for a file name, and the doc opens in a separate browser window with a generic name like Documetn1.docx.

This is not a good workflow. Now I have to rename every file I create. 

Is it intentional,(I hope not) or will this be resolved soon?

Deleting blank pages in word while in print preview mode

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 09:50 AM PST

I have searched and found a couple of ways to delete unwanted pages in a word document.  The main solution I keep finding is to turn on the 'Show/Hide' paragraph markers, scan through the document, highlight the paragraph symbols in the places that you want the pages removed and then clicking Delete.  Isn't there some way, even in print preview mode, since Word does not see 'pages' as 'pages' until it gets ready to go to the printer, that can allow the user to delete blank pages if they are scrolling through in print preview mode?  It is driving me crazy.  There has got to be a simpler way than the ways I have researched thus far.  

Word compatibility

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 09:49 AM PST

I have Word 2007 & 2003.  When I send an article to a person with Word 2013, it messes up the format.  Photos to on top of photos etc.  How can this be avoided? 

It seems to me that M's improvements just create new problems.  It forces one to spend more money on new versions.

Backspace doesn't work in Word 2013

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 08:18 AM PST

Hello,


I have been using Word 2013 for a couple of months now with no problems. I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and this may be when it started. My backspace just doesn't work. I can use the delete button but not the backspace. It works in other programs so it's not a hardware issue. I have seen help that suggested checking that the 'typing replaces selected text' (in options/advanced) was checked which it is (I tried taking it off, exiting word, then putting it back on again but it made no difference).


Any ideas? This might not sound that bad but it's really frustrating!


Thanks. 

Evolution of Office - what features are users actually using in 2013 (compared to 2003, 2007, 2010)

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 07:52 AM PST

I have been doing some research to get a better idea on what features and commands are being used in Office nowadays, and if there has been any change over the years (features becoming less commonly used, current "buzz" features, new uses for existing features etc.).

I have already found some useful sources like the Office 2003 blog by Jensen Harris and an article in the Office 2010 Engineering blog by Tim Briggs. However, I would like to know if there is any (more detailed) publicly available breakdown of usage data and what commands are actually being used in the office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint in 2013.

Does anyone know of any recent data / papers on this topic or have an MS contact within the Office Design Group (mentioned in the Engineering blog) I could follow up with?

Thanks.

Mail Merge Office 365

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 07:24 AM PST

I have the data for a mail mege contained in the "Mailing Address" field.
this is formated -
name
address line 1
#2

when i mail merge i get an additional blank line between each line of my date - thus
name

#2

This all worked fine with previous versions.


Any suggestions - Christmas cards waiting

****************************************

Dont Panic -

After inserting the MergeField just need to format for line spacing - did not have to do this in earlier versions

all looks ok now

ListNum field keeps reverting to default numbering style.

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 07:02 AM PST

I need the ability to number my examples like this:


(1) blah-blah-blah


And to refer to them without parentheses. So I autonumber them by inserting a listnum field with following code:

LISTNUM NumberDefault \l 1 

This creates numbering with default numbering style, which is number+parenthesis. What I did in Word 2003 is right-click on the field and change its numbering style to the one that suit my purpose.

Now in Word 2010, the same trick updates the numbering style of these fields, but then, after saving and reopening, it reverts the field to default. The problem goes away if I save the document in .doc rather than .docx, so I suspect it's the issue of how the information is stored in .docx files.


My question is: is there anything that would prevent .docx file from reverting the numbering style to default?

Alternatively, is there a way to make non-parenthesized numbering style default for listnum?


PS: just so you know, I did my homework:

  • "Automatically update document styles" is turned off;
  • I tried removing Normal template and trying the numbering anew - same issue persists

MS Word 2013 - some pictures/graphics not printing unless I save doc as Word 2003

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 08:02 PM PST

Have checked all the display and print options (background printing, print graphics created in word etc), but some graphics/pictures just will not print unless I save the doc as a previous version (ie as a Word 2003 doc).


This is happening to all of my documents on my new computer (running Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit)


Have the same issue with all 3 printers including print to PDF.  All graphics/pictures show in print preview and save ok to PDF.  Please help!


Doc will print correctly from computer running Office 2010 networked to same printers.  Have checked all settings (in options) are the same.

Different Menu When Picture Drag & Dropped Into Document

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:59 PM PST

Hi everyone,

Just recently while using Word to type a report I noticed that when dragging & dropping an image I am getting different image options than I normally do under the "Picture Tools" tab. Here is the menu I would normally get dragging and dropping and now only get if I copy/paste: 

 

Here's what I get now for some reason (note the image handles look different too):


As you can see it's missing options and looks "dumbed down" in a way. My theory is that Word thinks I'm running on a low power computer and is hiding the eye-candy like the previews and more graphics-hungry image options. It could be a setting I accidentally changed but I can't seem to find what it would be. Has anyone ever come across this issue before or know of a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Myles

Office 2013 will not display correctly

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:57 PM PST

I just downloaded Office 2013 through the HUP and while installing the program I noticed that many of the icons/buttons would not display until I moused over their location in the setup text boxes.  

When I finally managed to navigate through the program setup and(after downloading and installation) opened up Word, the display is not working properly.  Here is capture of what it looks like:

Hopefully you can see that there are no icons in the toolbar, and nothing "reveals" itself until I mouse over the space where it should be.  This is unusable.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium edition, so there should be no compatibility issues.  I have attempted to "fix" the problem through the Programs and Features "Fix" option.  I have also attempted to uninstall and re-install Office again with no luck.  

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!  

Best,

Raphe B

Microsoft word 2013

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 06:38 PM PST

After I installed microsoft office 2013, microsoft word keeps on crashing after I open it up. I can open up individial files, but I can not atart the application froim the beginning. All other applications in Microsoft office 2013 works ok. Do I need to reinstall?

Labels created with mail merge have gray blocks around them.

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 05:07 PM PST

How do I get rid of this? I have looked at background colors and that isn't the problem. I think it might have to do with the field formats. Any ideas?

Word - continuation page

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 04:32 PM PST

Hi all,
The following may be a staggeringly simple question but it is baffling me. I'm filling in an application form (word format, of course) for a job. The Work History section only allows me to post 4 jobs, and of course I need to include all of my work history. At the top of the page it says, "Please use continuation sheet if necessary". A continuation page I have heard of, but I cannot figure out whether this "continuation sheet" is simply a figure of speech or whether there is a command that will directly allow me to insert a page (the continuation sheet) onto the word file. Insert Page doesn't work, neither does deleting Page Breaks. In short, I'm trying to add pages to a word file, but it simply won't let me, so is this continuation page a familiar tool or, as I wrote, just another way of saying "include the work history in another word file or however you can."
Any help, much appreciated.

hi i need to convert word perfect files to access them by word 2003

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 04:32 PM PST

Hi  I have a collection of word perfect 5.1 files

they are assignments from my anthropology degree   there are hundreds of them and I would like to make them searchable for key words  

and also be able to access them in word.

When i try to open them in word it tells me that the convertor cannot be loaded as the files required are not on the computer   this is a second hand laptop and the files required to load them came with the original ms office cd or some other source.

Well I have considered getting a version of open office   but using word would be ideal

a means to convert mulitple files at once would be ideal as then they would all become searchable

Thank you

Styling endnotes.

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 03:42 PM PST

I am trying to make endnotes conform to a style guide that requires that they be marked in regular numerals (not in roman numerals) and that they not be superscripted. The document was created with both the endnote as it appears in text, and at the document end, in superscripted lowercase roman numerals.

 

So far I've been able to get both the endnote as it appears in both places to be regular numerals. I've also been able to get the endnote at the doc end to not be superscripted. But I have been UNable to remove the superscripting in the text.

 

Here is what I've been doing:

First, I go to the Footnote and Endnote formatter (lower right corner of the Footnotes ribbon section) and change the number format to regular numbers. This makes the numbers regular in both places, but still superscripted.

 

Then I go into Manage Styles where I find two endnote styles:

 

1) Endnote Reference (Hide Until Used), which is indicated as a character style, and

2) Endnote Text (Hide Until Used), which is indicated as a Linked paragraph and character style.

 

I modify the first one by unchecking the Superscript box on the fonts panel. This removes the superscripting from the endnotes at document bottom, but the in text endnote number is still superscripted.

 

I've tried editing the second Endnote style, but it is not set for superscript. I've also tried reversing the order in which I make these changes, but I get the same results.

 

My question then is, how do remove the superscripting from the inline endnote reference numbers. And can I create settings that would make this the default in my Normal template?


Thanks much!
