I have a paid version of Office 2007 that I attempted to load to my new laptop.  How can I get it to load?

I just got Office 2013. I noticed that in Word Save As -- there is no compatility save as for Office 2010. Should I just assume that if I start a document in 2013 that I could open it in 2010?

Replace lower-case with small caps in MS Word

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 11:27 AM PST

I have a large text with many expressions placed within single quotation marks, with an initial capital letter: 'Here is an example'. I would like a Find and Replace operation that would Find these, one by one, and Replace each chosen instance with the same expression in small caps, deleting the single quotation marks and retaining the initial large-cap letter. I don't want to do this globally; not all such expressions in my text should be changed. The example above then would delete the single quotation marks and retain the initial capital H, and change "ere is an example" into small caps. I've tried using wildcards (the asterisk) but can't get it to work. Many thanks in advance.

MS Office, particularly Word

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:47 AM PST

Okay, I am totally ignorant concerning current versions of Word- particularly regarding backwards compatibility with Word.doc (circa 2001-2002). Details: I have all of my documents (including a book I wrote) in Word.doc. I wish to post excerpts for interested readers on my website. How do I provide downloadable material in a form that is compatible with current Office software? Convert (by opening and then SAVE as) to another format such as either Rich Text, WordPad, or html before uploading to my site? Or is there a free or inexpensive conversion software available? Smaller portions are no problem since I can cut/paste; but I do not want larger files to be in a inconvenient form for readers. Thanks, and excuse my non-current ignorance. 

Download in the wrong language.

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:40 AM PST

I recently downloaded Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 from Amazon, and went through all the steps downloading it fine. It then came to opening the program, and all the features were in a foreign language. I tried changing the language, but could only find ways to edit the language for individual files, not the program itself. I decided to uninstall the program, and realised whilst reinstalling, that the language was set to Suomi, a Finish dialect. There is a photo of this

here:

 

So I realised that this needed changing. I have scouted around and have found no method for doing so.

 

Any help much appreciated. Thank you

Mail Merge Question

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 08:57 AM PST

Hi,

The 1st 6 lines of a Word form document are mail merge address fields.  (Name, Title, Organization, Addr 1, Addr 2, City,St,Zip)

Some of the addresses in the data list use up 3 lines, some use 4, 5 or all 6 fields. After the mail merge is run, if an address field is not used, it is left out of the document (which is what I want).

I'd like to keep the 6 mail merge address fields at the top of the document and have the rest of the document ALWAYS start at exactly 2.5 inches from the top of the page, regardless of how many lines are used for the address.   I don't want the placement of the remainder of the document to be dependent upon the length of the address section.

I can not use a text box to do this since a related macro for filing files will not recognize the address if I use a text box

I was wondering if an  "if, then" function that says if there are only 3 lines of text in the address section, add 3 blank lines, if there are 4 lines of text in the address, add 2 blank lines, etc. would work?  Can you provide the command to do this in the merge form document?

If possible, I would like to solve this without using a macro.  Thank you for any assistance in this matter!

Editing a Document

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 07:26 AM PST

I am trying to update my Resume and be sure that all of my dates to the right are lined up.  I have turned on View Gridlines, but when it gets to the 2nd page of my Resume, the Gridlines do not fill the page as they do on the first page and it is making it very difficult to tell if they are in fact lined up.  Why is the view of my 2nd page different from the view of my 1st page?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

No Recent Files?

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 05:50 AM PST

Whenever my newly installed Office 2013 is reopened the next day, there are no recently opened file listed even though I know I opened some the day before?  Why would this be do you think?  Is there some cookie I should be keeping?  I have Options set up to show 12 recently opened files.

Background removal refine options not available?

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 04:01 AM PST

Guys,


 I am trying to use the Word or PowerPoint background removal tool on my Surface Pro 2. When enabled I do not get the 'Refine' options shown. If I open the ribbon customisation the three buttons that should be available under 'Refine' are shown as disabled but there is no explanation.

How do I find out what the issue is and how might it be rectified?

Computing the space left on a page.

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 03:57 AM PST

Hi Guys....

I'm using Office 2010 under Windows 7.


I have a number of mailmerge template documents which I wish to populate using VBA.

Each template starts off with an image (the Company logo), then has the mailmerge fields for the Customer details, then some text, the number of lines in which varies with the template.


I have some VBA code in the template which fires after the mailmerge.

The VBA opens an Excel spreadsheet, reads product data in order to populate various listboxes on a Userform, then allows the User to select a variable number of Products.


All this is working just fine.


My next goal, having saved the selected product details in an array, is to write the array as a list to the bottom of the template document.

Again, I can achieve that quite easily.


The problem is that I'd like to be able to determine when I've got one line left on the page, and more than one Product line still to write.

In that situation I'd like to use the last line on Page 1 to say "(Continued overleaf)", then continue writing the products list on the next page.


In order to achieve this I need to be able to work out exactly how many lines are left on the document before an automatic page break will be triggered.

This means I have to know where my first line will go on the page, i.e. on what line does the basic template's text end.

I've read up about font sizes, and the 120% rule for single spaced text lines, and how to determine the document size, so if I knew which line I was startin on I could work out how many lines were left on the page and act accordingly.


My problem is that I can't seem to find any VBA which will tell me the location of the current end point of the template in terms of the number of lines used, or the distance down the page in points (or any other measurements).


Can any kind soul point me in the right direction? I'm reasonably competent with VBA, but more so in Excel, which seems to have richer functions than thos in Word.


Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated....

Resize all equations with my MS word document

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 02:53 AM PST

Hello everyone,

I use MS Equation 3.0 in Word 2013.

The problem is all the equations are too small because of the wrong size/scaling applied to them.

What I have to do to fix them is:
1) Right click on an Equation 3.0 object, select 'Format Object'.
2) On the 'Size' tab, under the Scale section, I have to untick 'Lock aspect ratio' and 'Relative to original picture size'. Next, I type in a 100% for both height and width. Press 'OK'.
3) Next, I have to double click on the Equation 3.0 object to enter its edit mode. After that, I click outside the equation edit box to unselect it. This will regenerate the correct type size for the equation.

The question is:

How can I automate this since I have thousands of equations within my document.

Cheers.

I had a version of Microsoft office 2010. after this problem occurred, I removed the old MS Office. Reinstalled the new 2013, No difference.

Please help!

Reverse hyperlink?

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 06:40 PM PST

I've put hundreds of hyperlinks in my book to other sections of the book. They work well but something seems to be missing: going back to where the hyperlink is. I realize that shift-F5 goes back but only if an edit is made near the hyperlink. I usually put a space at the end of the nearest line, but I imagine there might be a better way. It's hard to remember to put the space in (and delete it).

On a related subject: I wonder if the hyperlinks (and reverse ones) will work properly if I put the book into PDF. And if I issue a Kindle edition.

How to insert a saved set of Text?

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 05:52 PM PST

In previous Word's I created something that I called 'signature'.
When I typed the characters 'signature' in my document and hit PF3, the text that I had
saved as 'signature' would be inserted.

Is there a way to do something like that with Word 2013?

How can I change my printing defaults? (Note: NOT printer defaults)

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 04:27 PM PST

This should be a simple enough thing.  I want my default printing option to be "print single page".


Why?


So that whenever I or my wife forget to choose the single page option, we don't end up with 15 wasted pieces of paper spewing out of our high-speed printer before we can cancel the print job.


Example:  We have a recipe file that we use to print out recipes to use and dispose of after cooking.  We occasionally forget to choose the "current page" option, and suddenly find our printer churning out the pages.

But if we're that forgetful, won't we make a similar mistake if we forget the default is a single page when we really want the entire document, or a different page?  Of course, we will.  But the cost of that mistake is a single page -- at most -- instead of 15 or 20.
