I have MS Word 2003 and when I click to save a document to desktop, it is not on my desktop.

When I first found out my document was not on my desktop, I saved it in a specific folder and it is there, but when I tried to click and drag from where I had it saved, it said there already was a document with that name. Where are these documents going?  I have checked and checked, and they are definitely not on my desktop.  I eventually found them in the Recent Items tab.

Outline View Left Hand side bar

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 02:38 AM PST

Using Word 2007.

When I use Draft or Outline view, there is a narrow side bar on the left hand side. This shows Normal, Heading1 Heading 2 etc depending upon the levels chosen. A fine black line separates this "pane" from the main Outline view, where I see the Plus and Minus symbols and the indented structure of my document text. I can mouse over this black line and drag it wider or narrow.

 

I find this little side pane vey useful, but my colleagues do not see it when they use Outline view.

 

I have no idea how I switched this on, and none of the help guides I've found online mention it.

 

Can anyone tell me how to switch this on?

 

thanks, KK

Office 2007 is not working properly..

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 06:25 PM PST

I had a virus that deleted some files from various systems.  I have to reinstall drivers for audio and other things and I've realized it did something to my 2007 Office program as well.  People can't open files because they say they're corrupt and when I go to open a new file weird music characters show up on the margins and I can't get rid of them.  I've had the viruses removed but yeah it deleted files.  I ran the office diagnostics tool but it didn't fix the issue.

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

I have a word document that I am trying to add a {DATABASE} field code to and I am trying to modify the SELECT clause to include a modified field.  The field I have includes the full name "John Smith" and I am needing to cut out the first name and only include the last name "Smith".  I know how to do this in SQL, but it seems that the syntax is not exactly the same.  For example, I can't even get it to add an alias to the full name field.  Does anyone know what the proper syntax is that the {DATABASE} field code uses for a text file?


This is my current {DATABASE} field code.  NOTE: I am not allowed to modify the .csv file, as I know that would have been a much easier solution.

 

 {DATABASE  \d "C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv" \c "" \s "SELECT NAME FROM C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv WHERE ((ID ={MERGEFIELD ID} ))" }

EDIT: the error it gives me when I add something like an alias to the NAME field is "Word is unable to open the data source"

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 06:12 AM PST

hello, I was wondering why my Word Document doesn't include Segoe Script in my word document I am using a book called Microsoft Office 2010 Introductory by, Shelly Vermant.  I am guessing this book is for people who just got 2010 or something so I am guessing it should come with it but is not. any ideas on why this is happening and ways to fix it thank you!

Is there a way to link the content of combo boxes without using VB?

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 12:42 AM PST

I want to have a dropdown menu in the header of a document from which I can select one of a number of options. I then want that value to appear in a box in the footer of that and each consecutive page. I feel like there should be an easy way to do this without needing to write a macro, but haven't found one. Not sure how I would do so with a macro either, so any solution would be helpful. Thanks!

MS Word Forms - IF ... THEN...

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 07:42 AM PST

I have created a Form in Word 2003 and have managed to create a combo-list drop box with a list of required groups.  However I would like to the form to populate another field with a specific names one a selection has been made.  I assume a 'IF...THEN..." statement would be best, but am stuck trying to work out the process.  The list exceeds the 25 choice limit, thus the comb-list drop box created in VBA.

 

The initial part of my VBA is as follows (changed for necessity):

 

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()    

           ActiveDocument.FormFields("ColourGroups").Result = Me.ComboBox1.Text

End Sub

 

Private Sub Cmdclose_Click()    

           Unload Me

End Sub

 

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()    

          ComboBox1.ColumnCount = 1       

             'Load data into ComboBox       

             ComboBox1.List() = Array(" ", "Blue", "Red", "Yellow", "Brown", "Green")

End Sub

 

So what I want to appear on my Form, for instance, is that if I seleect Blue the name John appears on the form adjacent to it, Red will display George, Yellow will display Sarah, Brown will display Fred, and Green will display Paul.

 

Any suggestions?

What does "Save My Settings" save?

Unfortunately, the Office XP SMS Wizard doesn't do as comprehensive a job for Outlook as it does for other products. Configuration settings (set in Tools < Options) are saved but many other things are scattered among special files are not backed up. If you want to be sure that you get everything, you should back up all the files listed here too: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm#fileloc

Storing a copy of Office CD on hard drive?

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 09:34 AM PDT

I've never used the Office Resource Kit, but I've made admin installs before. I placed the CD in the drive and ran setup with a switch. Go to START>RUN and type "setup.exe /a" and it will look like it's going through an install. It'll ask you where you'd like to store the files and once given a place to do so, you're on your way! It asks you to accept the EULA and enter your 5x5 cd key. After that, one can run the install from the newly created administrative install point. Note, you may not be able to install Office Updates on the machine. It may give you an "error" stating that you've installed office from an admin install point and that you can't get the updates as you normally would. This install point can be slipstreamed with updates and from there you can update "client machines." If you want to know more about slipstreaming, do a search for it in here or on the support sites.

If it is not an OEM and the upgrade base is neither an OEM version, then the
answer is yes, you can.

Finally. I followed all of the steps to clean out the
previous install of Office, disabled all Norton apps, but
the reinstall of Office still had the same problem. Then
I uninstalled all of the Norton apps and went through the
whole process again. Then it worked and everything is up
and running just fine again. What a pain! I have no idea
how Norton could have disabled that feature of the Office
activation when everything was disabled. If Microsoft
wants me to write up a Knowledge base article, I'd be
happy to do it for $200/hour, including "research time" :)

Thanks again Bob and Susan

Office Assistant Problem after Install

Posted: 09 Jun 2004 06:04 AM PDT

I'm afraid that the Office assistant does not work well when in a
side-by-side install. We're investigating the problem.

Have you tried turning off the Assistant in both products?
