Microsoft Word - inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

Microsoft Word - inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 10:31 AM PST

If I create a single table on a page (nothing else is on the page except this table) and want to insert a blank line in Row 1 and then type text below that blank line, when I click inside Row 1 and press ENTER, the blank line appears above the table instead of inside Row 1. I have taken the steps below as a workaround. I know about paragraph spacing before and pressing Shift + Enter, but don't want to use those approaches. I need to use the Enter key to create the first blank line because I'm working with a scoring issue in an existing keyboarding program in which students are learning to type a table with a blank line in Row 1. Next publication, I'll be taking a different approach, but for now, I need to have the final table have a hard return above the first line of typed text in Row 1. Is there a simpler way to do that than what I have suggested below? All help greatly appreciated.

To insert a blank line above the first line of text in Row 1, click inside Row 1 and press ENTER 1 time; click inside Row 1 again, press ENTER, and type desired text; move outside the table and delete the extra blank line. 

I changed a .docx to a web page, filtered. Now, everytime I open a new file it's HTML. How do I get back to opening files as .docx?

Microsoft office Pro plus 2013 Legal Paper size.

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 03:32 AM PST

I have a MS Office Pro Plus 2013. I am having a problem with the legal paper size. In the MS Word the default legal paper size is 8.5 by 14, however mine is 8.5 by 13, the problem is whenever I try to customize the paper size to match what paper I have it always say that some elements are out of printing range or something the is within the line, which is true, whenever I print it only prints about 8.5 by 11 which is the letter paper size.

Is there anyway I can print using my 8.5 x 13 paper size?
my printer is HP PSC 1410 all in one and of course I am using 8.5 by 13 inch paper size.

I can print well with other sizes I just never tried photo in photopaper though.

Any help is appreciated.

Convert doc to pdf without losing picture resolution quality

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 06:46 PM PST

I can create a pdf file by selecting Print and then the pdf button.  The software I use to do this is no longer available to me.  I used this software to submit my pdf file with a test and 70 pictures to an on-demand printer.  Before accepting my file, I am required to pass the pdf through the on-demand's filter software that check all pictures have a resolution over 300 DPI.  All the pictures passedd and met the on-demand standard.

 

I now find I cannot get this pdf software now, so I used my Word 2010 software to do a .doc SAVE AS to PDF.  When I passed this new pdf file though the on-demand filter, it would many pictures that did not meet its standard.  Upon research the Word document is 147MB and the first pdf vendor generated file was 80MB after conversion.  When I passed this same Word doc file through the Microsoft 2010 SAVE AS, the pdf file wa 20MB.  The smaller file sounded good, BUT with the Microsoft Word to PDF conversion is loses picture quality and does not meet the on-demand standard.

 

Can I change any parameter in Word 2010 to not reduce the quality of picture resolution in the doc file?  Or can you recommend a Word to PDF file converter that does not destroy the resolution of the embedded jpegs in Word?

 

How to print graphs on the same page as title

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 04:10 PM PST

I am preparing a report where there are a few graphs/charts with titles. I would like the graphs to show on the same page as the title of the graph, the title being texts. How do I do that? I keep having titles on one page and the relevant graph on the next page because there is not enough room on the same page. I'd rather have the title on the next page as well. Do I have to manually enter a few blank lines to push the title to the next page or is there any easier and neater ways to do it? I do not prefer page break either because if I change contents of the report, I would like all titles and associated graphs to still be kept together, without leaving huge blank areas on any page.

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks in advance,

Office 2010 has become disabled

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 02:17 PM PST

I bought this laptop at Wal-mart and have used the Microsoft Office 2010 for 2 years. Somehow it now is unobtainable. It is asking for the activation code or telling me to purchase another software package. How can I get the original back accessed?

PDF Documents ALWAYS open on Word now. Help!

I mistakenly forgot to uncheck the box that says "Always open PDFs in Word" and I don't know how to go back and fix it so PDFs don't automatically open in Word.  Please help! 

What type of word object is a picture link to an excel range?

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 12:38 PM PST

I create Word documents that have links to an Excel spreadsheet. Because I need to move the Excel and Word documents to different machines (home, office, laptop) I needed a way to reestablish the path to the linked Excel file (something that was automatic in versions of Word prior to Office 2007, but apparently has been left out of verions from 2007 on).

 

The majority of links are created by using paste special->paste link as unformatted text. This creates a field object with an ActiveDocument.Fields.Type value of 56 or wdFieldLink. I found VBA code that loops through the documents fields collection and singles out .type 56 and changes the path portion of the link to whatever I specify. It works great.

 

However, I also use paste special->paste link as picture to bring a range of Excel cells into the document. The range is typically of a "grid" type display, some of which are large. When pasted as a "picture", the displayed grid can be sized to the page as easily as an image (works better than any of the other paste options). When I look in the document's link list, the links pasted as pictures appear like the other links (with a path, file name, specific worksheet and cell reference), but my VBA code which is looking through the ActiveDocument.Fields doesn't see the links pasted as pictures. I assume it's because the links pasted as pictures are not actually part of the fields collection. Note: I wrote a routine to display ALL ActiveDocument.Fields and their ActiveDocument.Fields.type value. The links pasted as pictures did not appear. 

 

What collection are links "pasted as pictures" a member of? What would their .Type value be?

 

 

stacking three assistants vertically in smart art org chart

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 11:16 AM PST

I have org chart for homework. I am required to stack three assistants in a vertical stack. By default, two assistants are side-by-side. When I add 3rd assistant it stacks the third below one of the side-by-side assistants.

I have tried different methods to select the three assistants (dragging box around all three to highlight, shift-clicking, control-clicking, etc) and using the layout pulldown menu, with no result. Selecting left-hanging, right-hanging with multiple boxes selected doesn't have any visible effect.

I have tried grabbing the third box and manually moving it below the other two, but it auto-drops right on top of the second box.

Any suggestions on how to make three assistants align in vertical stack below a parent?
