Is there a way I can open e-mail  attachments created in Microsoft Office ( I assume ), without purchasing Office ?

Page numbers not recognising restarted chapter number for Chapter 1

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 01:56 PM PST

I have a document that has three parts, each part starts again at Chapter 1. My page numbers include the page number.

 

I have the appropriate section breaks and have delinked the headers and footers as these are slightly different from Part to Part, and paragraph numbering is reflecting the Chapter number, but for Chapter 1 of parts 2 and 3, the page number wont update to 1—2, but continues numbering from the previous chapter (chapter 4 of the previous Part).

 

From chapter 2 onwards in each chapter it is fine.

I try to turn off "link to previous", but I just can't.

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 01:52 PM PST

I am using office 2013 on a windows 7 64 bit machine. I tried to make a word document with different watermark images on different pages. I have done some research and know I should create sections and unlink the sections, then put image in different sections. The problem I have is I just cannot unlink the sections. I don't know whether something wrong with my office or I don't know how to do it properly. Here is what exactly happened:

1. I created a blank word document.
2. I hit return key on the 1st page, then go to tab page layout - break - section breaks - next page.
3. double click the header area on page 1, type "test".
4. then I go to the header area on page 2, I can see "test" in the header area.
5. I click link to previous button and hope I can turn off this feature, but what I can see is a pop up windows with message "Do you want to delete this header/footer and connect to the header/footer in the previous section? No matter I click yes or no, the "link to previous" feature is on. If I insert a watermark picture on page 2, it will show up on page 1 as well.

Any one knows what may be the problem?
Did I do anything wrong?

What I want to do is insert background pictures as watermarks on each page of the a word document.

Thanks in advance!

Format of Index

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 01:46 PM PST

For some reason I cannot find an index format that puts all the page numbers for an entry on one line.  For example if there are 20 entries for Smith, John in the index, it puts them on a separate line for each page number, i.e.  Smith John 2; Smith, John 5: Smith, John 19.   20 separate  lines instead of Smith, John 2, 5, 19, 30, etc.  Not a single one of the sample formats for the Index shows one with more than one number per entry, except for range 3-4..

 

It's driving me nuts.  I'm ready to publish and can't get the Index to work correctly.

 

 

Turn off notification window when using Find/Replace

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 01:22 PM PST

I'm using Word to reformat (using the Replace function) pieces of text I am inserting into another document.  I'm doing this reformating process dozens of time.  I want to TURN OFF the little notification window that pops up after every Replace action telling me that text has just been replaced.  It's a waste of my time to have to click this window off over and over.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!!

Word 2010 Not Working After Downloading Office 8.1 -- HELP!!!

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 12:55 PM PST

Greetings. I have a fairly new laptop (2013) with Windows 8.0 (pre-installed). I installed Office 2010 and other software programs such as Adobe, Quickbooks, etc. months ago and have had no problems operating any of the programs.

Yesterday I received a message to download 8.1, which I did later that night (took forever to download!!!). I assumed everything was working properly and shut down my laptop for the night.

However, this morning I was preparing a document using Word 2010 and noticed that it kept on crashing. I contacted Microsoft Support three (3) times and have spent the majority of the morning attempting to resolve this issue. I explained that my Word (2010) was working properly before downloading Windows 8.1. However, their response was that my Word (2010) was out of warranty and that I would have to pay for the Premium Support Services in order to fix the problem.

I am very frustrated at the way Microsoft is handling this issue, as well as the support or lack thereof.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Microsoft word error

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:51 AM PST

The setup controller has encountered a problem during install.  Please review the log files for further information on the error.  That is the message I get when I try and start microsoft word 2007.  My friend gave me this laptop when he upgraded so I don't know if I need a disc or what not to fix it.  I can not type at all on word it says that it is locked.  I was excited to get this laptop as I am going back to school and the one thing I wanted to use for writing reports will not work, and classes start in a couple of weeks.   I am not very good with computers at all so if someone could take the time to walk me through this it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Windows7 and Office 2000 compatibility

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:42 AM PST

I bought a lap top 2 years ago which ran Windows 7. I installed my copy of Office 2000 Professional and I have been able to use Word, Excel and Publisher with no problems. I now find that various documents saved using these programmes will no longer open. I uninstalled Office 2000 and reinstalled it from the original discs but still can't open the documents. Is it possible that a recent upgrade to Windows 7 has rendered Office 2000 incompatible? How can I open my documents? hope you can help.

PDF Complete--latest hassle with word 2010

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:36 AM PST

I have a licensed office 2010 installed two weeks ago. I cannot convert word docs to pdf. error message says to go to all programs (where pdf cannot be located but found via search and is also on start menu) and supposedly go to settings and options and then tools and repair. But the only thing I can get in to via the pdf complete icon or via search is "tools" which merely brings up option of automatic or non-automatic updates. Anyone have a clue?


Added info: I have the pdf icon on my quick access bar. when moused over, it shows PDF Complete--save this doc as pdf, and below that "press F1 for add-in help."     But just trying to click on pdf complete gives that error message.

Error: The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 11:02 AM PST

I have a document that I really don't want to have to recreate that currently won't open.  It gives me the error message that the file is corrupt and cannot be opened.  It then gives me an option to try and recover it then gives me this message: The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.  

In this thread someone was able to help people with this error:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/cant-open-word-file-because-of-end-tagstart-tag/581159d0-9ebc-4522-b30c-53e33e8268e1?page=1&tm=1386874904182

Adding an unnumbered cover sheet.

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST

Looking for an answer concerning adding a cover sheet.  I have a completed document that contains a numbered cover-page with a running head.  I now need to add a non-numbered coversheet to the top of the document.  How do I suppress page numbering and get Word to recognize the second page as actually the first page of numbering and heading.  Tired to copy and paste the document after the cover sheet but word does not transfer the heading and page numbering to the pasted document.

Word doesn't display entire document

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 09:42 AM PST

I have a user that created a Word document in 2013. She then sent it to someone using Word 2010 who in turn sent it to others outside the company. This person received the document back and forwarded the updated document back to her. When she opens the file in Print Layout, she can only see the first 10 pages even though the document is over 50. She can preview the entire document in Outlook and in Read Mode in Word. I had her forward the document to me and I am able to view the entire file in Word 2013 on my computer. I have tried renaming the file to .doc instead of .docx, performing an Open & Repair, and running a Quick and Online Repair of Office 2013 to no avail.

I even signed onto a different computer as the user and installed 2013 fresh. I still couldn't view the entire document, but when I uninstalled Office 2013 & installed 2010, magically the entire document showed up. When I re-installed 2013, only the first 10 pages show. As you can imagine, this is extremely frustrating as to why it will not work with her specific login. We don't use roaming profiles so signing onto the new machine shouldn't have duplicated the issue. I know the file is fine since we have opened it on different computers using different versions of Word. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

CONTACT YOUR ADMINISTRATOR

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 08:21 AM PST

I have an important document that I need to save from tampering by others who oppose my political position. So I try and save the document on more than one backup. When I save it on one and then attempt to save it on another backup, the error message is " cannot do, contact your administrator" (paraphrased) I go to help and get answers to everything EXCEPT this problem. Can anybody help? I can change the title of the book each time, but this gets confusing and causes a whole set of other problems. Thanks so much if you can help. These people have destroyed two computers so far. Freedom Works

How Do I save autotext entries from one word document to another

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 07:58 AM PST

When I create an autotext macro the macro is lost once I shut down Word. When I sit down the next day and restart word all my autotext macros are gone.I have the option set to prompt me to save the template file upon shutdown but never get prompted. I tried recreating the normal.dotm file from scratch just in case the old one was corrupted. this had no effect except to create a new default normal.dotm file. I still cant create and save any new autotext macros.

Behavior of Word VBA when reboot is caused by system update

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 05:32 AM PST

Last night I saved my document, left my laptop switched on and just closed the lid.  Microsoft Word was still running. When I came back this morning it is clear that something had caused my computer to reboot overnight, I think it was Adobe reader.  I restarted word and saw the recovery pane, and selected the "last time the user saved" version. I then saw an ambiguous message about saving the template and did I want to reload it.  I said yes, and then discovered that my VBA project has been arbitrarily backleveled to about a week ago, and all my changes made this week are gone.

Why did Word not save my VBA when shutting down for the update?  And why was my VBA not saved anyway when I saved the document?

If I can't rely on my data being saved by a reboot caused by an update, I will be forced to turn off automatic updates for Windows and everything else, and perhaps even power off at night.

While writing ... is there a way in the VBA IDE to view my individual modules in a list at the left instead of navigating the whole thing as a single file? I can see them in <globals> scattered among hundreds of other modules, but I'd like them just by themselves.  Or do I need Visual Studio?

Mouse-Touchpad doesn't work within Word 2007

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 04:25 AM PST

The last two times my windows Vista was updated, word would not respond to any mouse/touchpad inputs. The last time it started working again after 5-6 days. The system sees Word crashing when you close it. You can navigate through the document with the arrow keys and the mouse/touchpad works in the top banner to save, open, etc. It just doesn't work within the document. It seems to only affect Word. Is there a fix I can make happen?

Printing Barcodes on a Word/Excel 2010 document using mail merge

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:55 AM PST

Hello,

in our insurance company we use an integrated system to create mail merge Word/Excel 2003 templates, starting from a Database.

I need the "PolicyNumber" Merge Field be printed as barcode with "3 of 9" Font.

Just looking at the created barcode, you see that's very different from the usual ones, and when I try to read it, the scanner doesn't recognize it.

 

The mailmerge command I use in the templates to catch the value from the Database is {DOCVARIABLE "PolicyNumber"}

 

Instead, if I create the template using the usual command {MERGEFIELD "PolicyNumber"} starting from an Excel file, there are no problems at all.

 

Could you help me in some way ?

 

Thanks a lot !

Why can't I open Microsoft Word 2010?

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:18 AM PST

Hi,

My Microsoft Word 2010 flashes when I attempt to open it. I can put my cursor over the icon at the bottom screen and can see a blurred version of my document but it won't open after I click. Instead, it flashes and says "Microsoft Word 2010 non-commercial use". My computer just now allowed me to access Microsoft Word 2010 (this happened before where I could access, then it went back to flashing. I want it so it doesn't flash anymore. Furthermore, I never set up my MS Word to be of non commercial use. Thanks for any help you can provide.

***Now when I get a reply to my question, I want the directions to be SPECIFIC. Don't assume that I'm a huge expert on computers. I essentially know the basics but, for example, if you tell me to "access a panel" or whatever, tell me how to get to that panel (I do however know where to locate the control panel on my own). I don't mean to sound nasty but a lot of times the directions provided can leave out a step for us semi novices.***

Disappearing Header and Footer, unrelated to white space display

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 07:15 PM PST

I am trying to create documents with consistent headers and footers.  In most cases, this is not a problem.  However, in one particular file, whatever was in the header and the footer just keeps disappearing.  After saving the file WITH the header and footer, they would sometimes disappear upon re-opening the file.  Everything would be moved up by the space the header would have taken.  The worst part is that this is inconsistent; the header and footer disappear only some of the time upon re-opening.

I've tried to find an answer to my problem on this site, but all responses seem to deal with hiding/revealing white space.  My problem is NOT related to this, since even printing the document after the header's disappearing act does not reveal it again.  I need help to prevent this from happening my other documents.

Error Message When Selecting Office Files in Explorer

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 06:32 PM PST

I have Office 365 installed on my computer. When I select a Word file in explorer I get an error message that says "Sorry, something went wrong and word was unable to start (24)". And on the preview side I get a message that "No preview is available". I have tried re-installing Office 365 a couple times and tried to run the online fix but I still have no luck. I can open the documents with no problem. It's just when I select them that I get the error.

Macro freezing, getting door-closed warning for file on network drive

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 06:04 PM PST

I'm getting a self-written macro freezing (Word has status of not responding) when I run it on a particular file that is stored on a network drive. If I force-terminate Word then re-open the file, then try to save it, I then get the message:

"Check the drive to make sure the door is closed and it contains the correct disk or CD"
Based on the information at similar posts, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/check-the-drive-to-make-sure-the-door-is-closed/2850d8da-bb72-4519-b871-b8f341cfe755 and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/check-the-drive-to-make-sure-the-door-is-closed/981c8a68-da25-472b-9685-3cbecfd90c24, I saved the file to my hard drive and tried running the macro again. In this case, the macro works fine.

I did not have this problem when running it on similar content in Windows XP.

I am not using a flash drive.

I re-tried the original file an hour later with no problem. Any ideas why the macro would freeze and the spurious error message show up when running from a network drive, but only intermittently?

Automatically Deleting Blank Characters Before Text in Line

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 05:38 PM PST

I have converted pdf text and it leaves a bunch of white spaces between the left margin (the beginning of a hard line (paragraph)) and the first character.  I want each line to start at the real left margin.  

The blank spaces before the text vary in length so I am well aware that this will have to be done via Word VBA, allowing VBA to count the blank spaces and then deleting them.

TIA

What happened to my templates during the "upgrade" to office 2013- and how do I get rid of the fonts on the strip.

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 04:57 PM PST

Over the last 20 or so years, I have perfected my templates in word. Now the update from 2010 to 2013 seems to have lost them. Instead of these, iI get a whole page about 20 metres deep with American designed templates that are of no use at all to me.
Is it possible to import my template files from my old installation - still working for the moment - and save myself 20 hours of template redesign on an unfamiliar Outlook? (which takes an age to open for some reason)

Also, how do I remove the whole line of fonts from the strip along the top of the page. I need room for other things, and fonts are relatively unimportant to me.
