Microsoft Word - Using template repeatedly in document

Microsoft Word - Using template repeatedly in document

Using template repeatedly in document

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 07:45 AM PST

I understand how to create a template to use as a basis for new documents.  I've created one that puts in some standard content, tables and sets appropriate formatting.

Now, that same template is applicable multiple times within my document, so after populating content into the loaded template, I'd like to be able to start a new page, and start over again with a fresh copy of the same template (I don't want to create a new document, just a new page/section within the same document).

Is that possible?

Thanks.

Multilevel list styles lose indents

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 05:24 PM PST

I have seen this happen consistently in documents but am not sure if is one of those "by desgin" things.

I define a multi level bulleted list.  No problems so far; the list looks great and indents are where I want them.  Such as below.  I have used dashes instead of bullets for the purposes of posting to this board.  I have saved this format as a style in my document.

 -item 1
     -sub item 1.1
     -sub item 1.2
     -sub item 1.2
-item 2
     -sub item 2.1
     -sub item 2.2
             -sub item 2.2.1
             -sub item 2.2.2
             -sub item 2.2.3
     -sub item 2.2

Now, lets say I decide I would like to make a change to the multi-level list style.  Change the bullets, or even the indent spacing.  As soon as I touch this feature, it does save the new definition and update the style, any place in the document using this style loses all of its indenting.  The list goes left justified such as below.

 -item 1
-sub item 1.1
-sub item 1.2
-sub item 1.2
-item 2
-sub item 2.1
-sub item 2.2
-sub item 2.2.1
-sub item 2.2.2
-sub item 2.2.3
-sub item 2.2

Does anyone know how and if I can avoid this behaviour?

How can I restore Word 2010 recent documents list after windows 7 reinstallation

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 02:33 PM PST

Hi guys
I've just reinstalled my Win 7 OS purely to enhance speed & consider myself a fairly competent PC user so comfortable moving things around, and restoring folders etc.  As always I backed up everything anyway, but do have the Windows.old folder too to work with.

However, despite replacing all the "new" Office folders and having no issues with restoring Outlook etc, I can't manage to get my Word 2010 back to where it was before.  I've replaced every Office folder I could think of:
  • Users/Name/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Office
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/Office
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/Word
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/DocumentBuildingBlocks

Have I missed something somewhere? 


I've rebooted, updated all Office files etc, & just can't figure out what I'm missing.


Any help truly appreciated on this one.

Thanks

Custom Dictionaries & DropBox

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 01:37 PM PST

I am working on a manuscript in Word 2013 (great improvements over 2010, BTW) on two computers.  I keep my manuscript file on DropBox for syncing.  Does anyone have any experience placing custom dictionaries on DropBox?  I have a lot of slang in my ms and frequently add new words to my custom dictionary.  Any help would be appreciated.  I.e. does this work?

Draft View on Open

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 01:30 PM PST

I would like to open my manuscript in Draft View as I did in Word 2010, but it always opens in Print  Preview.  I have checked the box "Allow opening a document in Draft View" in the options, but it doesn't "stick" when I reopen the document.  Any suggestions?

How to customize text box borders based on text box content?

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 01:02 PM PST

Does anyone know if there is a way to have a text box automatically display a border only if there is text in the text box? If it is blank, no border should be displayed.  Is there any way to do this?

WORD:- Convert to mixed case

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 11:09 AM PST

I have a WORD document that is all in CAPITALS.  How can I convert it to "mixed case", i.e. all lower case except the first letter after a full stop, proper names, etc... ?

I guess I need a VBA routine?

Repositioning a frame in Word

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 05:11 PM PST

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows Vista Home Premium platform.  I have inserted a large (5x 8) jjpeg image onto the page and surrounded it with a frame (to simplify re-positioning).  Now, when I try to drag the frame from one page to another (adding text ahead of the frame caused the frame to skip a page), I can move it to the correct page, but I am unable to re-position it on that page.  If I drag and drop, the frame jumps by large amounts.

 

Before I delete the frame and start from scratch, is there another way to move the frame on the page in smaller increments?

 

Thanks in advance.

Cannot See White Font in Styles Window

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:50 PM PST

My style with a white font does not display in the Styles window because it blends with the white background.

Is there a trick I could use to preserve my style with the white text while making it legible in the Styles window?
