Mail Merge from Word 2010- Outlook 2010

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:21 PM PST


I am doing a mail merge from Excel to Outlook.


The merge is working fine and transferring to outlook - however the address is showing quote marks when it transfers across


i.e


'name@****'


As there are quote marks it is not recognising it as a valid address. Wondering what could be causing this.


Thanks :-)

How can I insert a contact's address in an envelope?

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:30 PM PST

I have--with help here--figured out how to insert a contact's name and address into a typical Word document using AddressLayout/Quick Parts.  It seems to work fine whenever I click on the Insert Address button, inserting the contact's name, company and address, in, say, a letter.  And if I click on Mailing, Envelopes the same information pops up in the window for addressing the envelope.  However, if I am not creating a letter in Word but simply creating an envelope using Mailings, Envelopes the Insert Address button pulls up a simplified version of what I have set up in AddressLayout--the person's name and address only.  Is there a way to get the same information as I have set up in the AddressLayout Quick Part?

microsoft office starter 2010

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:17 PM PST

I am operating with windows 8 and 2 days ago Microsoft word and excel starter 2010 edition have stopped working. I get a dialog box titled Click to run applications manager with dialog of Microsoft word starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the program in control panel.

I have repaired Microsoft office starter edition 2010 through the control panel and the repair says it has been completed. However word or excel will not open  and I just get the above dialog box.

The computer came with windows 8 and the pre installed edition of Microsoft starter 2010.

Word Converting by Self

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:14 PM PST

We have Office 2013 on Windows 7.  With no rhyme or reason, my documents that I have created and saved in (for example) Word 2013 will change to Word 2007 document.  When I try to open the file, it will open in a jiberous title eg. "WD000013 [Read Only] [Compatibility Mode]".  I found a fix for this once and thought it was rectified, but it's doing it again now and of course I can't find the fix again.  Yes, in save options, I have it set to save in .docx format.  So that is not the fix.  When I check the properties of the file that was originally saved as Word 2013, it has changed itself to say Opens With: Microsoft Open XML Converter.  When I go to change, it recommends "Microsoft Office 2013 Component", "Word (Desktop)", "WordPad" or "Microsoft Works Word Processor".  Any suggestions?

Unable to print Word document including comments in bubbles at side. Suggestions?

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 11:59 AM PST

Unable to print Word document including comments in bubbles at side. 


-  I've selected Show Markup in the Tracking group

-  This step puts a check beside 'Print Markup" within Print > Settings > Print All Pages

-  It prints the main document (without bubble comments) smaller on the page, and leaving room for the bubble/comments, but they don't print.


Any suggestions?   Thanks.

Word resizes a linked inlineshape when the link is edited

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 10:24 AM PST

I have over 100 linked pictures in a Word 2007 document (Windows 7). Most of the pictures are screen shots stored as bit maps. They are accessible in VBA as inlineshape objects.

 

Sometimes when I edit one of the linked bitmaps, Word resizes the image in the document. Its assigned height and width seem randomly chosen. So I have some questions:

 

1. It this a known problem (feature) in Word?

2. Are there specific instances when this happens? If so, maybe I can modify the document to avoid those cases.

3. Is there some way to force Word to use the per cent height and width or the specific height and width of the shape that I chose for the picture?

4. Are there some "best practices" for capturing screen images and including them in Word documents?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I have a word document with several hundred footnotes that I want to post online. In order format it for online viewing, I need to have all the footnotes in the body of my text wrapped with tags (i.e. John Doe said, "This example is fine."<ref>footnote text</ref> Next sentence starts here). 

Is there a way to move all the footnote text to their numeric anchors? Can I automatically add a <ref> to the start and </ref> to the end?

Custom Properties, TOC, Figure Number, Cross Reference, Table Number Issues in Word 2007

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:47 AM PST

I am using Word 2007.  I have a number of custom properties defined for my document, an automatically generated TOC, many numbered figures and tables.  I have to individually toggle the property codes to get the values to appear.  Once I have all the appropriate property values displayed, I save and close the document.  Upon reopening the document I once again have the property codes e.g. {TOC\o "1-3" \h \z \u}.   I have spent hours tinkering with custom properties and trying to find a solution.  Can someone help me solve this issue?  Thanks.. 28

Formatting Caption Labels Separately.

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:39 AM PST

I would like to create a style that allows me to add a caption and not have to format the label manually.

 

I have a style right now called Figure Caption. When I add a new caption, I get this:

 

Figure 1-1: Example Text

 

Now I have to go back and manually change the "Figure 1-1:" to bold.

 

I want to make a style that automatically makes the caption:

 

Figure 1-1: Example Text

 

Is there any way to do this?

Word will not open

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:34 AM PST

I have MS Office 2000 Professional installed on my XP system computer and have been using it for years.  Recently, when I attempt to open Word, I get the sign-on screen and it will not open further.  Excel and PowerPoint work fine.

 

I have uninstalled and re-installed Office 2000 several times from the original CD with no change.  I have also run Detect and Repair from Excell with the shortcut change also and that does not work any better.  I have also tried other suggestions found on this site.

 

I know Office 2000 is old but it served me well and I am reluctant to purchase a new version.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks, Sprinrr

 

 

 

Unable to open Microsoft Office documents attached to email, on flashdrive.

flatten shapes in word

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:48 AM PST

If I draw more shapes in MS Word and want to move shapes I have to select all the shapes and then move them. Please tell any other short method to select all shapes on a page at the same time and keep them selected forever. I.e when I want to edit text of the page shapes become odd.

Hyperlink address with "#" in it fails now.

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:29 AM PST

Hi, I'm working on a Word document (Word 2010, Windows 7) at work, a large reference manual with many links going to various websites. In earlier versions, I could link to specific parts of a webpage with an address with "#" in it. For some reason now, it come up with an error message if the link is in any Word document.

 

For example, if I create a link to:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

 

It takes me to the top of the Wikipedia article on cats, no problem. But if I add a link directly to the part of the article on cat behavior and use this link:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Behavior

 

It should go directly to the "Behavior" heading in the body of the article. Instead I get an error message from Wikipedia..."Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name." It's not a problem with Wikipedia, it's the same with other websites. BTW if you cut and paste the link into the address area of Internet Explorer, the link works. It's only when linking from a Word (or Excel) doc that it fails.

 

One of our tech people noted that it appears Word is changing "#" to "-", so in the error message above, it shows the address as:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_-_Behavior

 

So it may be that Word isn't recognizing "#" for some reason, and is changing it to "-" for some reason(??)

 

 

 

 

Word will not let me edit or close

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

I have a word document and I tried doing the right-click>Convert to Adobe PDF, and it had me save the PDF file in a folder, and then it had me save the file again. (which I thought was a little weird) After that it gave me an error in Notepad saying:   %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% Cambria not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%% Stack: [338 373 332 0] () %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% So I close the Notepad error and now I can't click inside of any of my open Word documents. It just 'dings' each time I click. I think there's an open dialogue box or something but I can't SEE any. And I'm not sure when I saved my word documents, so I'm trying to fix this without shutting down or 'End Task'ing Microsoft Word.   Please help.   DDouget

Display of Hebrew Vowels in MS Word 2007 in Windows 8.1

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 04:20 AM PST

Hi,

I'm using WORD 2007 in Windows 8.1. After resolving the issue of writing hebrew vowels (Nikud) by changing the keyboard layout, I started adding vowels. 
However, the display of HOLAM HASER (חולם חסר) is messed up. Instead of appearing above the letter it appears besides it. 
The same document, when opened on another computer, is displayed correctly. 


Here's an example, where you can see the HOLAM HASAR appearing three times beside the letter ו instead of above it.
 

Please help.

Is it possible to create/customize a toolbar in Word 2010, like in previous versions of Word

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:51 AM PST

Hi, to expand on the question title:

 

In previous versions of word, you clicked on View > Toolbars > Customize > New... and you would have a floating toolbar. I used this as part of my job and added lots of individual autotext snippets and had these grouped in categories for easy access.

 

Now, with Word 2010, I am struggling to replicate this. I understand the ribbon and the QAT and I have the autotext option within both of these. In the QAT clicking autotext shows a long list of autotext snippets but this means scrolling through them to find the correct one, with seemingly no way to group or sort these.

 

What I want to do is have a similar toolbar or a way to create a new tab on the ribbon with the ability to drop individual snippets of autotext into their for ease of access.

 

I hope someone can help and i appreciate any help you can give.

 

Thanks, Josh.

https issues in Word 2010

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:13 AM PST

Hi,

I have problems opening a file via Active X control and https and need some ideas how to proceed with the analysis.
The server is a custom WebDAV implementation on a SAP Netweaver 7.40 system.
The following behaviour:
http works without problems
https is OK if I copy and paste into an IE window or file open dialogue, but I do get several client certficate popups. It does not matter whether I choose the correct certificate or cancel the popup
https via documents.open of the word application causes an error
https over ActivceX works fine when I try to log the communication with Fiddler

Customize Keyboard, assigning a shortcut key

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 10:43 PM PST

Apologies in advance for a long story.

 

I've created a macro that I want to assign to a particular key combination. I've done this literally thousands of times over the last 15 years, but i've never come across anything like the problem I've having here.

 

I have assigned the macro to a key combination: Ctrl+Alt+M.

 

As expected I am able to use that key combination to run the macro -- and then for no apparent reason it suddenly stops working.

 

The macro is still there, and can be run directly. And when I go into the Customize Keyboard dialog, I can see that Ctrl+Alt+M it is still assigned to the macro. But it doesn't run.

 

The first few times this has happened, I've Removed the assignment, then reassigned it. And I have somehow been able to get it to work for a time -- until it mysteriously stops again. Within the same Word session, it will work, and then stop.

 

This last time, as has happened before, when I went to do the usual Remove and re-Assign, I found that the box where I enter the key combo, is rejecting Ctrl+Alt+M. I type it, but it doesn't appear in the box. Nothing at all happens, it's as though I am not pressing any keys at all. I do not get an indication that it is already assigned -- but I can see that it IS already assigned. If I remove the assignment, then (as in the past) I may get lucky and find myself able to reassign it after opening and closing Word a few times, but it's very inconsistent.

 

On a hunch, I went to the desktop and tried to assign Ctrl+Alt+M to an application shortcut, through the shortcut's Properties dialog. When I type that key combo, the box automatically clears, indicating that it is already assigned. Yet I haven't assigned it to anything -- certainly not since I started being intermittently able to assign it to a Word macro.  (I am aware that desktop Shortcut shortcut keys take precedence over Word key combo assignments.) Yet when I type Ctrl+Alt+M outside of Word, even when directly on the desktop, nothing at all happens, i.e., it really doesn't seem to be assigned to anything.

 

Thinking it might be something wrong with my Normal.dotm template, I renamed and hid it form Word, forcing the creation of a new one. I then recorded a macro, but when I tried to assign it to Ctrl+Alt+M, the same thing happened.

 

I found a utility that will display all shortcut keys that are currently assigned to desktop shortcuts. When I run this, it correctly shows all of my shortcuts, and as expected, Ctrl+Alt+M is not one of them.

 

SOMETHING is intermittently inhibiting this one particular key combo from being assigned to either a Word command/macro or to desktop shortcuts, and when I am able to make an assignment, it eventually stops working.

 

I'm hoping that someone might detect a clue in this tale of woe as to what it might be.

 

Thank you.

Remove Header Sections

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 07:13 PM PST

I am working in a 93 page document, that I need to reformat and insert new information. Unfortunately in this 93 page document, it has about 50 different Header sections. I've gone through and deleted all of the headers since they will change as I make changes to the document, but all of the sections remain. How can I delete the sections? This applies to the footer as well. There are obviously just as many footer sections. Is there a way to do it all at one time?

What's happening is that I will want the same header on each page, but I have to at this point, go to each section and type it. What happens if my company wants a change made, I will have to do it 50 times. And then deal with the footers. :(

Please help.

 

Help with finding superscript numbers and replacing with footnotes

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 06:25 PM PST

Hello all,

I have some documents where the footnotes are just superscript numbers. I want to search for those superscript numbers and replace them with a real footnote. Using the macro recorder and some wildcards, I can find the superscript numbers, but I need to do something else to actually insert a footnote. Getting those bits of macro to play together, though, has been eluding me.

Currently I'm just having Word highlight the superscript numbers so I can visually see where I need to insert footnotes. Once I have real footnotes inserted, I run a find/replace to delete highlighted text. It's working okay, but I'd like something a bit less kluged/more idiot proof.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-W.

Paste a sparkline into Word

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 05:03 PM PST

I'm trying to add some sparklines from Excel into a table in Word, but I can't work out the best way to paste them in.

If I do a straight copy and paste, they come up as blank. If I copy and paste each as a picture, they work but leave a grey border around the sparkline even though my Excel cells have no borders.

What's the best way to paste sparklines into word so that they don't have any grey borders?

Help verifying Word 2010 / getting programs to recognise internet connection!!!

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 03:23 PM PST

Hi,

I recently rebooted my computer to restore it to factory settings. Following this I re-downloaded Microsoft Word 2010, using the product key from when I originally purchased a year back.

However, when trying to 'verify on the internet' as an option it keeps coming up with an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet, when clearly I am as I'm using this browser now. It's incredibly frustrating to be told I am not online when I'm 100% connected. 

How can I overcome this and allow my Microsoft programs to realise and accept the fact that I am actually connected? Windows Vista user.

Please help

Thanks
