Mail Merge in Word using Outlook contacts

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:46 PM PST

I am trying to mail merge in work from a list in Out look. I am good until I try to put the Names & address in. the names show up but the address do not show under "Mailing Address Indicator". When I go into the "Address Block" there is a check in the box that says "Insert Postal Address". I have tried to insert the First Name, Last Name and Address 1 in the "More Items" section with no success. What am I missing?

Rogue indents in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

I've set the fisrt lines of paragraphs to indent via the Specials drop-down list, but I've found there are other lines within paragraphs that are also indented.

 

If I highlight the rogue indent and set it to "none" via the same drop-down list, it also removes the indent from the first line too! If I then reinstate the indent for the first line, the rogue indent returns too. AArrggh!

 

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I've tried tabbing, backspacing etc, all to no avail. I'm working in final view without mark-up.

 

Any suggestions please?

Macrobutton Windows 8.1 touchscreen

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 10:50 AM PST

Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet with W8.1 and Word 2013. I cannot get macrobutton to run a macro by finger tapping or with standard stylus. Finger tap and standard stylus DO work on the ribbon and other tablet features. I have a Dell active (hover) stylus and it will activate the macrobutton with a tap. I have set the macrobutton to work with 1 or 2 taps and result is same. Is there a way to get the macrobutton to work with a finger tap or standard stylus? Thank you.

Small problem but quite bothersome

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 10:47 AM PST

When clicking my desktop MS word to open it opens fine but the blank page has some misc. words I can't get rid of.  A little while back I typed in some random letters to check a font.  Now every time I open the page with these letters opens.  I've deleted several times but still shows up when opening new.  Any suggestions would truly be appreciated.

Possible bug in Word 2007 and Word 2010: page 2 of 1

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

I seem to have found a bug in Word 2010, which also seems to be present in 2007.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new blank document.
  2. From the Insert ribbon, add a footer and add Page Number of style Page 1 of 1.
  3. Add enough blank lines to go on to the second page.
  4. From the Page Layout ribbon, Breaks, add a Section Break, Even Page.
  5. All is OK at this point - the first page is 1 of 2 and the second is 2 of 2.
  6. Delete the section break.

Now the bug appears. You can see that the first page is 2 of 2 and the second is 3 of 2. It looks as if deleting the section break has affected the PAGE field code.


For extra fun, highlight the page number, right-click and choose Format Page Numbers; then change the Start At value. You can make the first page 0 of 2 or 2 of 2, but you can't make it 1 of 2.


Does anyone know if this is can be fixed?

Table Position in Document Footer

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:55 AM PST

I am  using VBA to create MS Word 2010 documents from a template. In the template, I have one footer for the first page and a different footer for the subsequent pages. Each footer contains a table that has some cells with plain text and some cells with content controls. Everything is working fine, except that when I create the documents the footer tables have shifted to the right. I have tried different ways of creating the templates and positioning the tables, but every one has this problem (some more than others). One of the best results came from starting with a document created in Word 2000 and converting it into a template, but it still didn't work entirely (small shift to the right).

Ideally, I would like to start with a blank template and build the footer from scratch. The document body has a border around it, and I would like each table to be flush with the left, bottom, and right borders. It sounds simple enough, but I'm darned if I can figure out how to do it! Thank you very much for any help . . . .

Question about creating business logo

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:51 AM PST

Using Microsoft Word I created a business logo with word art, and boxes.  Now when I want to move the logo I have to move the outside box, then the logo, then the business name, and #.  How do I make the entire logo one object instead of different WordArt parts?  I would like to do this so I can copy and past the complete logo and make it smaller and bigger to post on documents.  Thanks for your help, sorry if the questions is kind of difficult to understand, I did not know a good way to describe it. 

header & footer security

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 06:52 AM PST

Hi All,

I have created a template and would like to have security on my template so that you can not go into the header and footer - so that all information can not be deleted or copied in this section.

 

I have done this by completing a fillable form, however this then restricts other parts of word:-

 

Such as

 

Review Tab

Insert/Clip Art

Shapes

Smart Art

Captions

Cross referencing

and a few more to mention,

 

Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

How to Replace Certain Characters at Start of Each Paragraph

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:52 AM PST

I need to replace certain characters at the beginning of each paragraph in manually-created numbered lists in Word such as "9.2 " with html code for open line item (<li>). I can't simply replace all instances of "9.2 " because there can be numbers in the body of the paragraph that should not be changed. Is there a way to do this? There will be lots of variations such as numbers followed by tabs, etc. but I have already written the code to do this, just don't know how to just make changes at the beginning of the paragraph. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Word 2010 indents lists when pasting

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:26 AM PST

In a template I use at work, whenever I paste from an outside source into a numbered list, the indent of the number I paste into gets shifted .5" to the right.  I have disabled Smart Paste and changed lots of the other paste settings, to no avail.  This template was originally created with Word 2003, but we are now using Word 2010.  Is it possible to correct this, or is it perhaps just one of those weird formatting quirks that happens from version to version?

Thanks.

Office 2010 Hyperlinks and Active Directory Authentication for Internet Access

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:11 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I work in an Education Environment, and we use Web Filtering based on Active Directory groupings to block or allow certain websites for Staff and Students.  For unauthenticated access, such as people using Smartphones or Tablets, we also have a list of blocked sites.  (This list is, understandably, the strictest.)

It's recently come to our attention that hyperlinks within Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 are responding with "Unable to open <URL>. Cannot download the information you requested".  This happens to any users for whom a website is on their specific allowed list, but would otherwise be blocked for unauthenticated users.

For example, YouTube is blocked by default, but in many establishments is allowed for staff.  If a member of staff types youtube.com into the address bar in IE, it works.  If they type youtube.com into Word 2010 and click on the hyperlink that's generated, it fails with the above message.  This is not how we want our system to work.

In another example, if a website is usually allowed, but blocked for a member of staff, and that person types the URL into Word and clicks on it, an IE Window opens, but then displays our "Website Blocked" message.  This *is* how we want our system to work.

So the question is, how do we get Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 hyperlinks to stop sending unauthenticated requests to the website in question, and returning an error if it cannot download the information, but rather open IE by default and *then* either display the website, or a blocked message?

Thanks,
Tim.

EDIT:  I undestand HLINK.DLL and URLMON.DLL might have something to do with it, but I don't know what.

Bottom border to a single cell in a word table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:45 PM PST

Hello,

I can't seem to get a bottom border isolated to one cell once I've split the cell into two. Top border only works, as does left and right only, but bottom border does not work... it creates a bottom border under all cells in the row. Any ideas?


I tried to apply a bottom border to the right cell and this is what it does. It'll work on the left cell fine but not the right. If you split the cell into even more columns you can create a bottom border for each cell independently except the right most which will create a bottom border for all cells in that row.

Thanks for your help

Reassign the location where files are saved in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:22 PM PST

I  am running Windows 8.1.  My C drive is a SSD and I have a HDD as my data drive.  My intent is to only store program files on the SSD and save all the data files on the HDD.  I see the file  - options -save - dialog box where the default setting point to my C drive.  I suspect this is where I need to change to my HDD path.  Is this correct?  Do I need to create the folders listed in the default path or can I shorten it to the HDD drive designation (E)?  I want to do this to all the programs in Office 2010.  I suspect it will probably have to be done for each program.  Thanks!

VBA to Replace Number in All Numbered Lists in Table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:04 PM PST

I am trying to use VBA to replace the number (or bullet) in all numbered lists in a table with html. The following code works great for doing this in a non-table environment but only works on the first cell in tables. I imagine it has something to do with the "paragraph" parameter but can't figure out how to change it. Thanks in advance for your help (my code follows):

 

Sub Replace_All_Numbered_Lists_In_Selection_With_Open_LI()      
    Dim oPara As Paragraph
    Dim r As Range
    For Each oPara In Selection.Paragraphs()
        Set r = oPara.Range
       If r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListSimpleNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListBullet Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListListNumOnly Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListMixedNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListOutlineNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListPictureBullet Then
            r.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers _
            NumberType:=wdNumberParagraph
            r.InsertBefore Text:="<li>"
        End If
        Set r = Nothing
    Next
End Sub

What reasons make different Line spacing between "exact" and "atleast"?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 05:28 PM PST

Hi.

I just wondering line spacing rules.

I asked,

when I use "atLeast" in <w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="300" w:lineRule="atLeast"/>
the paragraph borders, the box around the paragraph, is higher than when "exact".

MS said,

" The difference can be even a little better seen if space="0" is used in the top and bottom elements in pBdr. 

The Word 2013 behavior is in compliance with ISO standard, 17.3.1.33 says "atLeast (Minimum Line Height) Specifies that the height of the line shall be at least the value specified, but might be expanded to fit its content as needed." "

I want to know what algorithm make different between them.

Please, let me know.

Have a great day.
