Text turns to red & stricken through when editing

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 05:43 AM PST

I am trying to edit a Word 2007 document created by someone else.  It does not show any protection or restricted editing.  When I try to delete a word, paragraph, etc., the text does not delete and rather turns red with a strike through.  I am using Word 2010.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Change right-to-left formatting to left-to-right

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:09 PM PST

I have a text that is partially in Hebrew, with right-to-left formatting. Unfortunately, some of the translations, in English, are also right-to-left-formatted (probably done by the author, not too versed in the formatting business, like I) . How can I change the English into its normal left-to-right format?

Thanks,

How can I retrieve the actual file I saved? I am saving a file and when I retrieve via name:filename, I get an earlier version

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 01:54 PM PST

I am saving files (Win7 Office2007) but when I retrieve them, I'm getting earlier versions with EXACTLY the same name. Example to make it clear. I have say a file called fred-data. I edit it substantially then 'save' (same name). I go to retrieve it via search 'name:fred' and get a list of files with fred-data there as well. Sometimes fred-data is not the fred-data I filed earlier as changes I made aren't there. I use Genie archiver and there is usually a fred-data.8 or similar which is more up to date than the fred-data I've retrieved. I'm having the same problem with XLS and .DOCX files. Sometimes (not always) if I retrieve the file from the 'last files used' list in Word etc. I get the latest version but not if I retrieve via name:fred-data. It's becoming a nuisance trying to track down the latest copy of files. I don't save them to a specific folder so I am relying on the 'name:fred' sort of search to find it for me. It's becoming a nuisance now - the reason I'm sure I'm getting the wrong files back is that I put the day/month manually in each time I edit and the files I am getting back are dated 1 or 2 days behind and I can't find things I know I put in there.    It happens on XLS and PPTX files too.     Terry Critchley *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Locking font settings when editing

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 07:00 AM PST

Dear Sirs,

 

My problem is simple:

 

I am translating a document. I usually change font color of the original text to "red" so I can easily see what I have to translate and what I already did. Then I start translating from some point. What I want is to lock my "editing font" to some certain setting and the cursor to keep it wherever I click, be it right in the middle of a red or green text, italic, bold type or a heading, without having to adjust to my predetermined font.

 

Another option may be a shortcut to my predetermined editing font, (e.g. something like shift+ctrl+f) so I can quickly adjust the type, size and color of the cursor to my editing preferences with only one single key combination.

 

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

 

Best regards,

 

Kivanc

How To Change The Name Of A Macro Within The WORD Application

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 03:48 AM PST

 I know how to change a macro's name via VBA but is there any way to do this in the application itself as I cannot see any obvious way?

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

 

 

I can't get rid of highlighting on automatic numbers.

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 01:33 PM PST

I have a contract in an outline format. Such as Article 2 > next line is 2.1, next para is 2.2 etc. Part of every paragraph has some highlighting in it. Unfortunately 2.1 does not but 2.1 (the number 2.1) is highlihgted. The rest of the para is not highlihgted. How do I remove the highlihgting from 2.1 I am using Word 2010 with track changes on. It seems to be in the formatting somewhere but I can't find it.
