Microsoft Word - created a word document with screen saver shots and now looks like code or gibberish

created a word document with screen saver shots and now looks like code or gibberish

Posted: 01 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT

I created a document for my online class using screen saved shots.  It looks great when I do it but when I submit it, it looks like gibberish.  Funny characters have replaced my work.  I resubmitted it a second time thinking it looked okay but when I opened it up it was all distorted and no screen shots were there.

Help me!

transfer autocorrect from 2007 to 2010

Change Word defaults (capitalization)

I am sick of Word changing the first character on a new line to a captial letter.  How do I turn off this foolish feature?

I've lost one-half of my document!

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:40 PM PDT

I am using Office 2010.  In adding text to my ten-page document, suddenly the last half of the document disappeared.  After the last good page of text I have a series of rectangular boxes that are blank.  I have looked in the Recycle Bin, and I have done a search for the doument, but I only come up with the corrupted copy.

 

If I do a System Restore to an earlier period, will that only reflect Windows files?  If so, does Word maintain periodic backups of documents in progress, if I knew where to look for them?

 

Most frustrating.

Word Shuts Down

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 09:20 AM PDT

Hi, I have an approximately 5 year old Dell Inspiron 1521 running Vista.  I purchased and installed Office Professional Plus 2010.  Ever since original install I get an error stating I need to enter the disk as if it were the original install.  I've done all it asks many times, but it says "the file I need is not on the disk".  Yesterday it was asking for DATA1, but my search produced no results.  However if I just click it off, everything has worked fine.

 

Until now.  When I open Word, I can open a document and start updating, and after a few seconds it just vanishes--the program shuts down, none of my work is autosaved, it's all just gone.  I have reopened and started over, only to have the number of seconds decrease each time. 

 

Although I don't claim to be an advanced user, have been a Word/Excel user since I helped with usability testing in the conversion from Word for DOS to Word for Windows.  I don't think this is a user error.

 

Any help is appreciated. 

Unable to download MS Office files from email attachments

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Hi:
I am unable to download MS Word, Exel files from email attachments because I am getting an error. When I try again, a prompt appears and it tells me that I have to repair. Has anybody here had any problems similar to this? I am also having problems with Mathtype equation editor and it is also crashing Office365. It seems to be incompatible with O365 for some reason or the other. Mathtype tells me that their product is more stable with the desktop version O365 rather than the downloaded version of O365 Anyone had any issues with this as well?

My 2010 Word 64bit crashes on opening after trying to open a PC created docx but revised on a Mac machine.

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 07:53 AM PDT

My 2010 Word 64bit crashes on opening after trying to open a docx created on my PC but with comments and corrections made by revewer on a Mac machine. Both document and revision are very important.
The archive opens, but the program crashes when I press the "allow editions" (don't know exactly the name of the button on english version) button on the yellow info stripe. After that, Word 2010 crashes on opening every time I try to open any docx, restoring functionality only if the registry is fixed.
How can I rescue the document without loose the changes/revision made without going mad?

What is the little backwards P that shows up every time I open a Word document?

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 04:49 AM PDT

Every time I open a word document a little backwards P shows up. Sometimes it is all over the place. Does it mean "post" or "paste"? It does show up every time I click on "Paste". It is very annoying. This started to happen all of a sudden. I do not remember it always being like that. How do I get rid of it, or should I worry about it. It does not show up in the finished product. ?????

Thank you,

The combinational keys don't work

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:04 AM PDT

Hi

I've recently got a problem with my Word 2010. and the thing is that the combinational keys don't work in it. and what I mean by the combinational keys, are the keys that are related to Crtl and Alt. for example I cannot select all of the text by pushing Crtl+a or copy by Crtl+c and etc.

I'm a reporter and my main work is by Word and this trouble slows me down too much. thank you for your help.

Problem installing Works 2000 Suite

Posted: 13 Oct 2004 11:31 AM PDT

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply and suggestion. In searching the web myself I found:

"Utlities to help troubleshoot Microsoft Works"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=297061

This article suggests three steps.

1) Download and Run the Works CleanUp Utility - this is the same utility
described in the article you suggested
2) Download and Run the Windows CleanUp Utility
3) Restart Microsoft windows in Clean Boot Mode

The article above provides links to download the utilities for 1 & 2 above.

I found that I only had to follow steps 1 & 2 above. At that point Works was
removed from my computer. I was then able to install Works including Word
2000 from my CDs. Then I was able to download and install the Word 2000
updates from the Office Update site. Now all is working fine, Works, Word
2000 and the other Works Suite programs.

Error Starting Works Word Processor

Posted: 05 Oct 2004 05:06 AM PDT

I'm glad you got it working.

As for the naming, I believe Microsoft initially bought Works from another company. Back
then, there were several "Works" products from different vendors. These were all
integrated packages including word processing, spreadsheet, data base, etc. ("The Works").

This failure can be the result of dust on the CD or possibly a damaged CD.
First try cleaning the data side of the CD with a soft cloth. Then see if
you can manually copy that file from the CD to your hard disk. If that
succeeds, then try installing again.

Okay, third option. I am unaware of the licensing for the Academic version
(version that you have) so you may want to look under any Office program's

think it does but having never had Office academic, I could not tell you for

If your version of Office is an upgrade, the license for that version
specifically states that you are required to retain the qualifying product
as long as you use the license. If you do not have a qualifying product,
your license is invalid. Start saving up.

With partitioning, you can reserve space for future use, and limit space where
it makes sense to. You position yourself for reasonable backups, and
reasonable filesystem check times (imagine the time it would take to fsck a
160Gb flat space at startup 8-S ). You seperate critical subtrees from
disposable ones, optimize filesystems to match data (do you /really/ need a
journalling fs for the /tmp filesystem? I think not). You can impose security
restrictions (read-only mounts, or no-exec mounts) on subtrees.

And you can do none of that with a flat filesystem space.

Hei,

just trying to give a few crumbs to these interesting questions...
 

+10 ;-)

Yes, definately. We shouldn't force the user into a single window
interface.
First, because some users (which use good window managers that actually
aid productivity) will hate it.
Secondly, because there are real use cases of multiple window office
work, like e.g. big screen setups or multi-monitor/projector setups.
Thirdly, because it drops one of the advantages...see below.
 

Nope. Grouping by application represents a coder point of view. From a
user point of view there isn't much purpose in it. On the other hand,
grouping by project or grouping by workflow would be of good use. But
this isn't quite doable automatically, except if combined with some kind
of project management implementation (which would be a beneficial
addition - for later on or so). Nonetheless, i imagine there would be
possibilities to aid grouping by project.
 
s?

- "Open Document in new window...", "Open Document in new Tab..."
- "Send Document to new window...", "Send Document to new Tab..."
- Ideally, drag a tab out of the window to create a new window.
- How flexible is ODF metadata and the extension system? Would it be
possible to save a tag with each document, telling it which "window
group" it belongs to? Of course, this suggests creating some kind of
management for window groups.
- Most gorgeous would be something like a "Save/Load session" feature.
It would allow to save "projects" rather than documents.
 

One idea would be vertical tabs, but that has issues.
A probably better approach would be the combination of some other ways:
- Make document tabs look different than "page" tabs.
- Include a mime-type icon on each tab. This also adds further usability
improvement.
- Place the tabs above the toolbar (although i wouldn't advice that,
really).
Ideally, if combined with a means of project management, there could be
a vertical docked window (like the styles list) that lists the projects
documents. This way no tabbar would be needed at all and further
benefits would apply. But i know of course that that's a whole different
story.

Andr=E9.

I used the trial version of MSO 2007, I think the UI is very attactive and fancy, no doubt about that, but one thing I found is
People can get confused about the UI, switch around between the menus, it is very hard to find the right option which people
are used to in previous versions of MS, I don't a lot of people will upgrade to the 2007.

on the other hand, I really think the UI of OOo need to improved to make a huge success.

Ok I have a theory, I think that the gimp account was set up on a different
time than OOo. This might be not the fault of either gimp nor OOo but the
policy at paypal applied to most of the newer accounts but the older ones
didn't.

I am investigating on this, I made a donation through my CC to both Gimp an=
d
OOo and I saw that the OOo gave me the message of:

"The email address or credit card has already been added to a PayPal
account. If you have already opened a PayPal account, enter your email
address and password into PayPal Checkout and click *Log In*. Otherwise,
enter a different email address or credit card number to complete your
purchase."

I will need to ask either paypal on ways of modifiying the settings so the
users re not forced to sign in into Paypal. However if you know alternative
ways to charge directly to the credit card (like the engine from
fundable.org) please dont hesistate to suggest.
