Microsoft Word - format hyphens (--) to dash (—) not working

Microsoft Word - format hyphens (--) to dash (—) not working

format hyphens (--) to dash (—) not working

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 07:55 PM PDT

I have Windows Office 2007 running on an HP Pavilion a6500f with Windows 7.  I had to have the motherboard replaced and now when using Word I can't get the format hyphens (--) to dash (—) to work.  Both places under Word Options, AutoCorrect Options (AutoFormat and AutoFormat As You Type)  are checked but it just won't work.  This feature worked just fine before the motherboard crashed.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this as that's a feature I use very frequently and having to remember to go back and use Copy, Paste to get my dash is getting really out of hand.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed Office 2013 yesterday. Whenever I try to open a file in Word, I get the message below. What is going on and how do I fix this?

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 03:44 PM PDT

Message is:

 

"Microsoft Word has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avialable."

 

I have not received any notifications.

 

 

"Documents.library-ms" warning message

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 08:08 AM PDT



When I try to open anything in my libraries (documents, pictures etc.) I just get the message: 

"Documents.library-ms" is no longer working.  
This library can be safely deleted from your computer.  
Folders that have been included will not be affected.

Obviously I don't want to delete my libraries if I'm going to lose all my documents.  Can someone please explain how I can resolve this.  Thank you.

I need to show some slanted words in a sample of sentence diagramming.  How do I get the word(s) to slant?  I use Draw Lines to draw the lines in the diagram, but I cannot get the adjectives and adverbs to slant down.

Table Troubles

Posted: 27 Mar 2013 10:48 PM PDT

Greetings!

I have a bunch of long docx files that contain many tables.

Some of the content in the cells in these tables are truncated, as follows:

in the
beginning

when it should be

in the beginning

Even though I right click on the particular column of the table and use the "automatically adjust to content" (or whatever it is called in English -- I am using word in another language, though all the files are in English, so that is not the problem), the truncated cells stay the same.

It would be nice to have a macro that would whisk through the file and "correct" all these mangled cells, but a) I don't know how to create such a macro, and b) I can't think of any other way to solve this vexing problem.

I would greatly appreciate it if a kind soul in this forum would lend me a hand.

Add new command to quick access toolbar: show/hide navigation pane

Is it possible to add show/hide toggle icon for Navigation pane (showing all headings 1-3).
I mean the same as View -> 'Navigation pane' (checkbox).

It is not listed in all commands when I try to add it.

Word 2013: How do I insert double quote marks?

Posted: 27 Mar 2013 12:46 AM PDT

Whenever I press the shift key + the double quotes key to insert double quote marks nothing happens. When I press those keys again I get four quote marks - one set of opening ones and one set of closing ones. Is there a new command for double quotes in Word 2013?

Word 2007 Vista

Posted: 26 Mar 2013 11:04 AM PDT

Recently downloaded Windows Vista update causes Word 2007 to no load downloaded .doc files. I used a system restore and everything was fine. However, I left automatic updates on and Vista updated and voila! I am back to where I am. How do I fix the issue for the Vista update?

Macro Does Not Run on Ribbon

Posted: 26 Mar 2013 09:17 AM PDT

OK I hope I list everything correct so you can understand my struggle.  I am working in Word 2010 and have created a ribbton through the custom UI edtiro with the following html code:

 

<

customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">

<

ribbon startFromScratch="false">

<

tabs>

<

tab id="customCalcTab" label="Calculation Template">

<

group id="customCompany" label="Change Company Name">

<

button id="customUS" label="US" onAction="Calculation.ChangeCompanyName.CompanyNameUS" />

<

button id="customCanada" label="Canada" onAction="Calculation.ChangeCompanyName.CompanyNameCanada" />

</

group>

</

tab>

</

tabs>

</

ribbon>

</

customUI>

 

The two macros change the name of the company in the document depending on whether it is the US company or the Canada company. 

 

The VB code is attached the document (not a template located somewhere else).

  • Project Name:  Calculation
  • Module Name: Change Company Name
  • Macro Names: CompanyNameUS or CompanyNameCanada

I cannot get this to run. 

  • If I run it as shown, I receive "The macro canot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.:
  • If I run it with just the macro name onAction="CompanyNameUS", I receive "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

The macros are below and run fine if I was to just run the macro on the document from the developers tab:

 

Sub CompanyNameCanada()

    Dim i As Long
    Dim rngStory As Word.Range
   
    i = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
   
    'Iterate through all story types in the current document

    For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
    Do
        Select Case rngStory.StoryType
            Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
                With rngStory.Find
                    .Text = "NP Inc."
                    .Replacement.Text = "NP Canada Ltd."
                    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
                    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
                End With
            Case Else
                'Do Nothing
        End Select
        Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
    Loop Until rngStory Is Nothing
    Next rngStory
  
End Sub

 

Sub CompanyNameUS()


    Dim i As Long
    Dim rngStory As Word.Range
   
    i = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
   
    'Iterate through all story types in the current document

    For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
    Do
        Select Case rngStory.StoryType
            Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
                With rngStory.Find
                    .Text = "NP Canada Ltd."
                    .Replacement.Text = "NP Inc."
                    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
                    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
                End With
            Case Else
                'Do Nothing
        End Select
        Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
    Loop Until rngStory Is Nothing
    Next rngStory


End Sub

 

 

Can anyone tell me the proper syntax in the HTML code to call the macro? 

 

Thanks
