Office 2013 - Word - File Save As with Preview of Document

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 02:13 PM PST

When I open a word doc and do a file save as, it no longer shows me the 'preview' of the document.  Instead it only asks where I want to save it.

 

I need to see the document so I can name it correctly, as I name my documents based on the date it was created and who it is being sent to.  It used to show the document, and I could easily input the correct information.  Now I must either 'remember' it or write it down somewhere...  not very user friendly.

 

How can I get around this and make it so I can view the document while saving it.

 

Thanks,

Barb

office 2013 print to adobe pdf printer stuck at "Save PDF File As" dialog

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:55 PM PST

I install the new office 2013 recently. When I print from word 2013 to adobe pdf printer, the "Save PDF File As" dialog pop up, but I cannot select the folder and input the filename. There are no reponse when I click any field in this dialog. And, the word no response, either. The only way I can do is kill the word and acrotray process in the task manager. I tried print from other office 2013 products, the outlook and excel 2013 have the same problem. However, the powerpoint and publisher do not have this issue. All office 2007 products work well. Any help? Thanks in advance!

Microsoft starter

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:38 PM PST

Microsoft starter came with my computer and I have several documents typed in there.  When I went to open them, it said I have to have Microsoft Office 2010, to open it.  Do I have to now purchase a new word program to access my documents?

Can't open email attachments created on Word or PDF

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 11:38 AM PST

Hi, I have had the problems previously outlined by other people in September 2013 relating to Microsoft Office Starter, and the demand to purchase the full product (which I don't need). The "Repair" facility worked a couple of times, but doesn't now make any difference. I downloaded Open Word instead as suggested by someone else on the forum, and can now open docs which I previously created myself - many thanks for that.
However, I still can't open email attachments created by the sender on Word Or PDF. When I click on the attachment, nothing happens. There is only an option to "Save to my computer", but if I click on this there is no other option to "Save as... etc". I can't find the document anywhere on my laptop.
Any suggestion gratefully received, as this is driving me nuts!

Drop-down list content controls not all working within the same document

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:17 AM PST

I created a .docx. It is a fillable form using content controls. The entire form is inside a table. There are many types of content controls. On pages 1-3, all the content controls work appropriately. Starting on Page 4+, the drop-down list content controls work. However, when you choose an item and then go back and choose the default "Choose an Item," the original gray placeholder text does not come back. It just shows several spaces with Show/Hide button on. The settings/properties are exactly the same. as the ones above that do work. Any ideas/suggestions? I am going crazy trying to figure this out!

Justification Spacing when using bullet lists

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:10 AM PST

I have an existing 43 page two column document in Word 2010.

 

There are bullet lists used on every page and when I justify the text as I think it looks better, I get very odd spacing in the document.

 

Selecting the option to "Do full justification the way WordPerfect 6.x for Windows does" makes things a little better but still with some very large gaps.

 

Is there a way to justify certain lines within a bullet point or alternatively to adjust the spacing manually?

 

Many thanks in advance.

WORD 2013, protected document allowing forms but it scrolls automatically

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 07:11 AM PST

I created a checklist with check boxes. They work fine when in unprotected mode, but once I protect the document (while allowing the check boxes to be used) , whenever the check box at the bottom of the list is checked, the document automatically scrolls down to the next item in the checklist. How do I stop that from happening? Thanks!

Word 2013 crashes on second paste

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 06:37 AM PST

Good day,

Word2013 crashes when I copy and then try to paste the same content several times.  Word stops responding from the second paste.  I tested this with Word 2013 in Safe Mode with the same results.

Word 2010 - Fillable Form text field - How to set default value

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 05:47 AM PST

I am creating a fillable form and I would like to reduce confusion on it. At the top, I ask for the user's name and email and later, I ask for the people who the request is meant for and provide a few text boxes to fill in those people's information. 90% of the time, the user is one of the people the request is meant for. I want the first text boxes to just fetch what was entered at the top as the default value. That way, I can group the requesters all together without relying on the user remembering to include themselves in the list (which I can then use in a Macro). 

I don't know how to set a default value or how I can get that value to equal whatever is entered somewhere else. I hope this makes sense... This is sort of what I mean:


User Info:
Name: John Doe
Email: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Phone: 555-123-5555

Request Type:
[Grouped Radio Buttons]
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5

Recipients:
Name1; Email1; Phone1
Name2; Email2; Phone2
Name3; Email3; Phone3


In this case, I want Name1 equal to User Info Name, Email1 equal to User Info Email, and so on. Is there a way to do this and if so, is there a way to do it without VBA? My concern is that since this is going out to people that they won't have macros enabled, so it wouldn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Word crashing when opening a Template

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:16 AM PST

I have a template for one of my reports for college saved on Skydrive, along with the report saved. Whenever I go to open the report it either asks if I want to open the document as it caused a serious error the last time it was opened or it get's stuck on "Opening report.dotx".

The only time I can get the document is when Word starts in safe mode due to the errors it has had.

I have upgraded my Windows 7 laptop to 8 and Word used to be fine. It has been uninstalled once and repaired twice, neither of which have fixed the problem. 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Navigation Pane - Heading 1 does not appear

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:12 AM PST

I wrote a document using predefine MS word styles: Heading 1,2,3,4. I only modified the font colors and font names. Headings 2 to 4 appear correctly in the navigation pane. Heading 1 does not.  I read a lot of topics on this subject but none of them seem to apply for my problem. The outline level for heading 1 is set to Level 1. heading to is set level 2.

How can I make heading 1 appear in the navigation pane.

How to create a XSLFO fo:region-after equivalent in MS Word

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:44 AM PST

Page Header and Footer show static text at the top and bottom of a page and are not affected by the body content. The regions are reserved for header and footer - as a result body text cannot encroach into this area. Is there any way by which we can create a similar region side ways on the right hand side - spanning vertically from top to bottom? XSLFO provides a feature to create a side region called region-after around the right margin of a page - that can be used to show repetitive and common text and serves this purpose. How to do it in MS Word (any version)?

Spell Check in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 10:09 PM PST

I have been using Word 2010 for a couple of years. I have experienced Spell Check locking up and crashing Word at random time since the beginning. This has happened with two different copies of the program, on two different computers, and when the software is reinstalled. I can find no cause for this but restarting Word is a pain when you have several documents open working on them - and now they have crashed. I had not added add-ins to my knowledge. I have no noticeable popups in the background. Nothing correlates to these lock ups. Since this is happening on more than one machine (one Windows 7 the other Windows 8), from two different copies of the programs, and upon reloads there must be a glitch in the software itself. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I did create a dmp file the last time it crashed but was unable to find a way in Windows 8 to read this file. I do not know if it would tell me anything because I could not read it.

Mail Merge Word 2013 not showing all recipients

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:13 PM PST

I'm trying to do mailing labels in Word with an Excel list.  It won't pull through all recipients.  I've followed the instructions properly and have checked all the proper recipients, but only 1 page of labels is coming through, less than half of the selected recipients.  Cannot understand where I am going wrong. 

Numbered lists - ah... the pain!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 04:30 PM PST

1.0        level 2, based on Heading 2 style, left justified, no indent, tab at 0.75", Ariel font size 11, color automatic, no period after the last digit
1.0.1     level 3, based on Heading 3 style, left justified, no indent, tab at 0.75", Ariel font size 11, color automatic, no period after the last digit
1.0.2     level 3

2.          level 1 
2.0        level 2

                           I thought creating this numbering system would be easy and perhaps it is. But, i am having the Devil's time. Any help greatly                                              appreciated!!!  Thanks, and i mean a million!, Tucker
(a)        level 4

Can't Find My Word Document!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 04:22 PM PST

Hello everybody,

 

I downloaded a file for one of my classes and the proceeded to edit the file (I wrote my entire final paper on it). Throughout the writing, I continually saved the file but I never renamed the file that I originally downloaded, I just kept saving it. I think that is the issue, because once I closed the file, I have been completely unable to locate it anywhere on my computer. This would be really unfortunate to have to write again so I really appreciate any help I get. I know I can't be the first person that has done this. Thank you in advance.

 

John
