Microsoft Word - word will not open 2003 doc documens

Microsoft Word - word will not open 2003 doc documens

word will not open 2003 doc documens

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

Ever since I have installed office 2010 I have had problems opening word 2003 documents which were in fact created in word. I have seen a dialog box in saving docs about choosing to maintain compatibility of docx. with doc. This is astonishing, but could it be a cause of the problem. Meanwhile, when I try to open the same doc documents in word perfect--no problem at all, except that the outline format is off. Is there some choice in options or elsewhere which will overcome the issue?


Not all prior word 2003 docs but many, and I cannot figure why.

Dialog Error

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 11:43 AM PST

When I open Word I get the dialog box "C:\users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins\C:\Program Files(x86)\ Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\dngword.dll" is not a valid office add-in.

 

After clicking OK 3 times the dialog goes away and the program functions normally.  I have Uninstalled NaturallySpeaking12. The directory Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12 does not exist. I have Uninstalled and Reinstalled Word to no avail.

 

How do I rid myself of this dialog? (Version Office 10)

Word 2003 Gridlines

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 10:25 AM PST

This is a strange one and is bugging me.  I have a 2003 word document with a table created on another machine.  The non-printing gridlines are double lines.  I am unable to figure out how the format of gridlines can be changed.




Kind regards

Exporting PDF - Set permission for print and copy to clipboard

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:51 AM PST

Hi there

I want to export a PDF from Word 2013, and prevent everyone from printing of copying the content to the clipboard. I can only find the options to set a user and owner password, but no option for setting print or copy permissions. Is there a way to set permissions for printing and copying to clipboard from the PDF, when exporting from Word 2013?

Office Dictionary

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:50 AM PST

Hello


I want to make a dictionary for Microsoft Office, starting from scratch - for a variation of Greek that is not currently available.


I don't want to exclude the spelling that is considered incorrect in this variation and add the correct one to the custom dictionary, as I want to be able to use the standard Greek dictionary when I need to. Actually, what I need to do is to change the spelling of most words, so creating the new dictionary by editing the standard would make things easier.


Is this possible? How can I do it?

Word 2k7 Autocorrect line returns

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:22 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having trouble in Office 2007 word. When I type out a word that causes Autocorrect offer "Press Enter to Insert" the rest of the word and I press Enter, it not only does not insert the word, it returns to the start of the next line on the page instead.

This issue is driving me nuts, can someone offer suggestions here? It was previously working in word 2003.

For example: 
If I type "Febr" it shows the little grey bubble with this exact wording: "February (Press ENTER to Insert)" . I press the enter key and it doesn't insert the full word, it just moves to the next line.  

any thoughts?

Thanks for reading,

Linking data (single cell or row) to Word 2010 uses absolute cell reference

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:57 AM PST

I have an excel spreadsheet where I want to link only a single cell (A10) to a Word 2010 document.
However when a insert a row above A10, it updates Word and shows the data that is in A10, instead of A11.
The same happens if I sort the excel document.

For some reason, Paste link uses absolute cell reference instead of relative cell reference
This only happens if I link a single cell, or several cells in one row. Once I link cells in 2 rows, Excel uses relative cell reference.

How can I get Excel to use relative cell reference when linking one cell?

I copy cell in Excel.
In Word - Clipboard - Paste Special - Paste link - Microsoft Excel Worksheeot Object (or Formatted Text) - OK

I'd be thankful for any suggestions

Creating a Macro for Resizing several photos in Word while keeping the aspect ration

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:53 AM PST

I am looking to create a macro that will resize photos in Word.  I bring in a number of photos, some are horizontal and some are vertically oriented.  There are different amounts of photos each time I do this.  I would like to have a macro that will resize all the horizontally oriented ones to a height of 3.3" and the vertically oriented ones to a width of 3.3".  The aspect ratio needs to be maintained for each photo. 

 

I've been trying the code for programs like this and I was able to use one, but it didn't distinguish between the different orientations.  I was thinking that if the macro was written to check the photo so if the height divided by the width is greater than 1, then it would make the width 3.3".  and if not, then it would make the height 3.3". 

 

Also....after the photos are resized, I want to add a couple of lines of text that would be beneath each photo.  Would it be easier to add the text at the same time as the resizing of each photo, or have a separate subroutine that runs after all the photos are resized? 

 

My problem is that I have only taken one VB class and it was several years ago.  I understand loops and if/then statements, just don't really know how to code it. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Re office 2010 starter--program icon on screen--mistake

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:28 AM PST

I have a new laptop with win7, and after installing office 2010 starer I clicked on the icon and drug it to the desktop screen. I thought I was just creating a shortcut, but it acts like it is the program. I don't want it to be on the screen like a shortcut.  How can I get it off the screen and back to where it should be as before? singingjack. 

initializing Office in a second computer

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:47 AM PST

I bought and paid for a legitimate copy of Office Home and student 2010 in the summer of 2012 and used it on a new Sony laptop for about a year. Two weeks after the warranty on the computer expired, it collapsed on me and despite several expensive efforts to resuscitate it by the nearest Sony service station I junked it. I replaced it with a Samsung laptop but have been unable to initialize Office on it. Obviously, the problem is they think I am using a pirated copy. Is there any way to get around this problem?  

Is it possible to insert formulas by script in Word or Excel?

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:00 AM PST

A few days ago I tried to use LibreOffice, and I found that it's  convenient to insert formulas just by typing script in LibreOffice. For example, if I want to insert a formula of the integral of sine function, just open the formula script window and type "int from a to b sinx dx". It's faster than just by clicking or moving cursor up and down. Is there any similar way to insert formulas like that? MS Office is good, and would be better if such function is added.

Find phrases with Spell Check, or modify Grammar Check?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 11:36 PM PST

In Word 2010, I use the dictionary exceptions file to identify as misspelled words in my firm's style guide that I have not memorized; however, the dictionary is limited to single words.

Is there a way to force Word to search for text strings that include a space character, and if so, how?

If not, for the grammar checker, is there a reference file similar to the spell checker's dictionary, and can I get into it?

Finally, if the grammar checker is instead entirely programmatically driven, is there a way to get at it and modify it?

Word 2013 is reporting the incorrect user agent to the website

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 06:16 PM PST

Hi all,
   First off, I'm under an NDA so I can't provide weblinks. That said, we have an author that is sending out Word Documents with hyperlinks to one of our websites. However when she clicks on the links in Word 2013 on her new Dell XPS (with the latest IE version she says) the User Agent is being reported to our server as IE7 and prompting her to upgrade her browser to the latest version of IE.
   At this point I'm uncertain if she has fully updated her current version of Windows, but if she's still having an issue after that, could someone direct me toward where to look to fix what Word is declaring/seeing as the User Agent?
   I know this is vague, so if there are too many questions pertaining to what may be causing this, let me know and I'll get the required data.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers!

why wont shapes stay where i save them when i re open a document???

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 05:30 PM PST

basically i have a colour spectrum in my document and i need to create different sized black sections to go over the top of some parts.
i use insert>shapes>rectangle and then edit it to gradient fill with black and fading to transparent to place over the top of the coloured section. 
when i have placed it where it needs to go i save it and close the document. when i re open the document these black sections have changed position and arent as a gradient fill anymore. they are just plain black or a completely random colour like grey or blue. can anyone tell me why this is? i have asked so many people and get told about wrapping and formatting but have done everything they suggest and it still wont stay where i put it. other than that, no one has ever heard of this problem and im at a loss for what to do. please can someone help?
i have 2010 microsoft word starter if this makes a difference. 

Can I make the "save as" box small again?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 03:28 PM PST

I have 2003 version of WORD and at some time I hit the wrong key so that now when I save a word document the save box is the entire screen. I have to place the curser all the way down to the lower right of screen. Before, the save box was very small and that made it easier to save documents.   possible to make the box small again?

 

Thank You,
