Microsoft Word - Opening the Reviewing Pane for even a moment causes the program to lag terribly

Microsoft Word - Opening the Reviewing Pane for even a moment causes the program to lag terribly

Opening the Reviewing Pane for even a moment causes the program to lag terribly

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:46 PM PST

Hello there, I am editing a fairly long document in Word (~250 pages). On my machine at home, which has Windows 7 and Office 2010, I have no trouble with it. It saves quickly and I have no issues editing the document. When I open it on my computer at work, which has Windows 7 and Office 2013, everything goes okay until I open the reviewing pane. Even after I close the reviewing pane, the document becomes incredibly slow and freezes up for 5-10 seconds every time I make any edits to the text--the program basically becomes unusable. If I save the document (also takes FOREVER to save, at least 30 seconds, whether or not I've opened the review pane during that work session), close Word, and reopen it, it works fine until the point that I have to open the reviewing pane. For the record, I try to avoid opening it as much as possible, but occasionally I have to insert comments into the document and it opens automatically. Any ideas?

*I should add that it now appears to be freezing even after I close the program and reopen it. I can't type two letters without it freezing for up to a minute. I have never been so frustrated in my whole life!!

Automatic Blank First Line Added in Mail Merge

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:15 PM PST

When merging from Excel into a Word mail merge, a blank line is added prior to the mailing information when previewing the merge.  Resulting in only the top half of the city, state and zip to be printed on the labels.  What can be done to eliminate this phantom line?

failing with mail merge

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:09 PM PST

I'm trying to use Word's mail merge. I have a database of addresses in a Word document. As in the past, I'm trying to use mailings-select recipients-use existing list. Since I have a database of addresses, I simply select this document, as I've done in past years. When I selected it, I get the error that is unable to open the file. I noticed that this version seems to have created some kind of Access database file, which seems to obsolete those prior databases created in Word. When I open the database, I then changed the type of file to a Word file, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't.

Is there any way that I can use my Word document of databases like they have in the past? i don't have Access.

Unable to Repair Microsoft Word Starter 2010 on Windows 7

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 12:47 PM PST

Hi! 

I have opened Word Starter and it has said that it needs to be repaired. When I accept the prompt for instructions nothing happens. So following advice on these forums I went into Control Panel/Word Starter 2010 and hit change where I attempted to repair. I am told that the repair is successful, however when I attempt to open word starter I receive the exact same error. No amount of repairing seems to work and nothing I have found on these forums seems to work. Please help!

Adding a "Print this page" hyperlink in a Word document (that will also work when saved to PDF)

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 11:08 AM PST

I have a newsletter that I created in Microsoft Word. I want to include a hyperlink that says "print this page" (or something like that) that when clicked would open the print dialog and allows users to print the document without having to go to "file" > "print" or use "ctrl"+"p" or anything like that. I added a hyperlink to our newsletter's website and having it as a clickable link has increased traffic. I want to encourage printing of this document and allow users to just clicks the "print" link in the document and have the print dialog pop up.  I plan on distributing this Word-created newsletter as a PDF (exporting the file and saving it as a PDF).


Is there a way to create a link or button in Microsoft Word that opens the print dialog box? Is there a way to do this that will also work when the document is saved and sent as a PDF?


Thanks

Something went wrong

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:12 AM PST

I purchased Microsoft home and student 2013 exactly 4 months ago today. About a month ago it stopped working.   It only said "something went wrong".  After posting a question here I realized ALOT of people had the same problem.  I have done everything that was suggested with no luck.  So today I spoke with tech support who informed me that I would need to pay to have them fix it!  I paid $140 only 4 months ago it worked for 3 months and since it is out of the 90 day warrantee they will not help me!   REALLY!  Anyone here have any suggestions. Other than not using their products!

MICROSOFT NOT WORKING! TERM PAPER DUE :(

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:01 AM PST

Hey,

  My Microsoft isn't working at all. It installed properly and I enjoyed it thoroughly, however randomly out of nowhere, it crashed on me. I tried recovering it through a quick recovery, but it still doesn't work. Also, I tried an online recovery, but that fails as well.


It tells me "Something went wrong. Sorry we ran into a problem"

Please help!

Various Office 13 problems

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

Endnotes:

1) How do you change the display of endnotes?  This is not referring to the Footnote and Endnote gadget, which allows changes to the numbering system etc.  I would like to place my note designators in [brackets], or display them as [Note #], or something else.

 

2) Hitting the "Show Notes" link seems to do nothing at all.  It certainly doesn't show the notes.

 

3) When inserting an endnote, I get the note number, as I should, but I then have to scroll to the end on my document to find the blank note to enter the text.  Also, the endnote does not automatically default to my designated endnote Style.  And I then have to scroll back to find my place within my manuscript.  There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically re-find the place.  How do I get it to do these things automatically?

 

Styles:

1) In creating a new style, none of the "Modify Style" settings (i.e., "New documents based on this template") seem to work. New documents and documents converted from other word processors revert to the defaults (even when I take the time to open a new (blank) document, change all the default styles and only then transfer the document to be the converted into Word). New documents have to be changed laboriously to what I want every time.  How do I change these defaults to make them stick?

 

2) How do I change the default display of an opened document to include the Styles side bar?

 

3) How do I change the order in which styles are displayed to group the ones I actually use near the top of the Styles side bar?

 

Custom formatting of hyperlinks is acting up

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 10:27 PM PST

I am having a problem with the custom formatting of text hyperlinks. First, it does not take effect immediately after I modify the Hyperlink style; I have to open and close by clicking OK the "Edit hyperlink" dialog box (w/out changing anything), before it will apply the new style. Second, when I test the hyperlink by Ctrl-clicking on the hyperlinked word, it reverts back to the original formatting and the only way I can bring it back to the way it should be is, again, to open and close, by clicking OK, the "Edit hyperlink" box. Is there a fix for this?

Page border won't display, even when the Preview shows that it has been set

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 09:50 PM PST

I see now what's happening. If I use "Apply to: This section" and the section happens to be "Continuous" and shorter than a page and doesn't cover the start of any page, it ignores it completely. The cursor has to be inside a section that covers the start of a page, before it will apply a page border to that section's page. I was hoping that it would box a run-in (inset) section, not an entire page, but I can't find a way to do that. The inset contains a table, so I can't use the regular border to do that. So finally, I found not the best way to do this, by adding a rectangle shape from the Insert tab and made it go behind text. The drawback is that if I add more lines to this inset, I will have to readjust the bottom of the rectangle. I haven't tried the textbox option for anything this big, before: is that the way to go? Will it accept all the formatting one normally does within the document proper, including accepting bookmarks and hyperlinks to it from the main text?


There used to be the "frame" feature in older versions of Word, that appears to no longer be available with the 2013 version, right?

Open Office problems to Microsoft Word

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 07:46 PM PST

Recently a friend was talking about "Open Office" so I decided to download it to check it out. On doing so I noticed that the icons on some of my documents had changed. So I investigated & found that if I required a NEW WORD document I can no longer select from the "POP UP" Word Document only Text Document. How can I get this reverted back?
I have removed Open Office & tried System restore but neither works.

I am trying to add a new laptop to my active account.

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 06:58 PM PST

I keep getting the notice on my new laptop (windows8) saying - subscription has expired, most features of outlook have been disabled. One of the options is to reactivate by adding the computer to an active account. I have microsoft 2007(Windows7) on my desktop but it isn't recognizing my password. I changed it and it isn't recognizing my new one. Can I use my desktop account?

I just purchased a Samsung ATIV 9 Lite.  I am trying to activate Office 365 but I constantly get the System Error: 0xc004e01c.  I have deleted and redownloaded multiple times.  Very frustrating.  I am a trial user of Office 365 but it does not look like I will be purchasing this package due to this issue.

Delay in opening Office 2013 applications

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 05:02 PM PST

Original Title: Microsoft 2013 Student

 

When I press on my Office icon on the desktop, it always "gets things ready" for about five minutes, all the way to 100 %, but then gives out. It then does nothing for the next ten minutes, and finally opens word, or PowerPoint, ect. Indeed it opens, eventually, but it takes much too long. Then, in MS Word, another problem arises. Microsoft says something along the lines of "we may seem unresponsive, but we're just running background files," but when I finally click something (anything), it gives me a "Word is not responding" notification, then I have to try again four or five times until I get the right combination of clicks and patience. In short, just opening Office is a half-hour affair. And I just got my surface pro 2 today, brand new.

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 04:18 PM PST

I created document in Word 2010, approximately six pages that uses outline paragraphs numbering, headings, and track changes. A page break occurs that leaves the bottom half of Page 3 blank. 

I have tried removing the text in that area and replacing it with plain text to now avail.
