Microsoft 2013

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 01:53 PM PST

Bought Microsoft 2013 and installed it on a windows 7 PC about a month ago. Do I have to buy it again for my new Windows 8 PC? It does not have it installed.

I have been using Word for ever. Now when I open word I don't get a blank page. It's whole page is full of squares. The squares are also on every saved doc that I try to open. I cannot do anything on Word.

Your help will be appreciated.

How to reset all rulers to default across multiple pages in a document?

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 12:12 PM PST

I am working within a several hundred page document. Each page in the document contains one large image. Many of the pictures are not displaying correctly because I originally tried adjusting the ruler settings on many pages individually. Is there a way to reset the rulers on all the pages, so that they are all the same? The way that they would have been before I changed any of the ruler placements? Also if there is a way to select all of the images at once and assign the same height to them, that would also be helpful.

Microsoft Word 2007 - Margins appear to stay at the default setting inherited from the Envelope Add In ?

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 09:55 AM PST

Hi,

Typically, I usually add the envelope to the document I'm working on, only because it's easier to be cognizant of what will print and when.

For some reason, (I think since my upgrade to Word 2007 from 2003), the Margins used for printing are inherited from what I had set for the envelope?

I have been googling around and have not seen this issue documented anywhere?

Can anyone assist in what might be wrong?

If I delete the envelope from the document, the document prints as I expect it to.
If the envelope is with the document, the document is literally truncated as if there was an imaginary margin there.

Thanks for any assistance in advance!

unable to open a new Word or Excel file inside a folder

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 09:53 AM PST

I have just installed 365 on my Windows 7 desktop. I am very disappointed to find that I am unable to open either a Word file or Excel file inside a folder ( which is the way I am used to working in a pressurised professional work context .) When I rightclick  inside a folder, the menu of New items offers me a  very different  selection of apps compared to before, and nothing useful.


 I find it derisory to be offered Notepad instead of Word, after allegedly upgrading my software from Office 2007!


To open a Word ( or Excel) file, I am forced to go back to the Start menu, select Word ( or Excel), and then go through a very long sequence of clicking before I achieve a new Word file , appropriately named, and in the folder of my choice. This sequence seems longer than the previous version starting from Start menu - and completely unnecessary.  What hope of avoiding RSI with so many extra clicks!


How can Microsoft justify such a backward step?



Hoping to hear there is a sensible solution out there...

Hello


I am writing a book and using Word.  I numbered the pages, but, all of a sudden, the even page numbers have the letters "tts" next to them.  Can anyone help me to get rid of them please?  Thanks

Recover .asd file from Recycle Bin

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 05:52 PM PST

Case:

- Have installed both Office 2010 Professional and the pre-installed Office starter edition.
- Started writing a document in Office Word starter. 
- Office Word went Blank

In some way I managed to mistype a button in the (z,x,c, ctrl, alt)-area and suddenly the document went blank. No text, yet i didn't exit or delete anything. Ctrl+Z didn't work, and I couldn't find any recovery files either. I'm not exactly sure, but it appears as the document was closed and a new one was opened. Either way, the new document holds only 16KB, if that matters

After messing around I found an .asd-file in the recycle bin named ~WRA0002. It matches exactly with the description of my lost document. The problem is that I can't find it after recovering it from the bin. I've turned on "show all hidden files and folders" and overlooked \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\UnsavedFiles and \AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\OfficeStarter, and even accessed UnsavedFiles directly through both Office 2010 and Office starter, without luck. 

My question: This is tearing me down. Where do I find this .asd file. Are there any another way to recover this document?

Office 365 Small Business Premium crashes nonstop - totally dysfunctional

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 04:43 PM PST

Every program on Office 365 crashes nonstop on all our office and home computers.  It's not a virus problem and any fix offered by Microsoft community, etc. is entirely useless.  This is a debacle, and all I get is more shirking of accountability from Microsoft.  I have a business to run that depends on timely production of documents.  This is killing us.  Daily. 


OK, Microsoft, make my weekend and make my computer run like it's 1999 (Really, or 2003 or 2010)  Office !


2013 is truly inexplicably the worst, least functional and most poorly supported product MS has EVER produced.  It's crashing businesses like mine and bringing them to the ground, and you guiys are fiddling while my tiny "empire" burns!


So lets fix this debacle NOW!

Problem with filter in Word 2010 Mail Merge

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 03:55 PM PST

I have a main document with associated Excel database.

I click on "Edit Recipient List," and create this filter:

       Field1 is equal to Y
and Field2 is blank

I click on OK.

When I check my main document, I see that I have way too many recipients. So I go back to "Edit Recipient List" to check the filter. It has changed itself. Now it reads:

       Field1 is equal to Y
and Field2 is blank
or   Field2 is blank

This effectively eliminates the restriction in Field1. I clear the filter and start over. Same result every time.  I try reversing the order of the two filters, but it still adds extra "or" conditions that mess up the result. The filter only works properly if you are filtering just one field at a time.

How can this problem be fixed?

error 1310 while Trying To Repair Office 2007 Pro

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 03:20 PM PST

I have Office 2007 Pro running on a Windows 7 PC.  Excel works just fine but when i open Word, more often than not, it stalls and eventually gives a message that it has to close.  I read a post that said that I should repair the installation from the Add and Remove Programs dialogue.  When I do that I get the error 1310 "Error writing to file C:\\PROGRAMDATA\Microsoft\OFFICE\MySite.ico".  I have tried the recommended RUN: msiexec/unreg and Run: msiexec/regserverto no avail.

What can I do to fix this problem?
