Microsoft Word - Metadata/Track Changes Question

Microsoft Word - Metadata/Track Changes Question


Metadata/Track Changes Question

Posted: 07 May 2013 11:53 AM PDT

In Word when using Track Changes, you can hover your courser over a tracked insertion and a bubble pops up that displays who made that change, when they made it, and also repeats the text that is inserted. The goal is to remove some of that metadata but not all of it. I need the inserted text to remain in Track Changes formatting but I need the bubble that displays who made the change and when it was made to be permanently removed. Does anyone know if this is possible?

p.s.- I've used the standard Word tool where you go to [Prepare] and [Inspect] and removed the metadata that way. That removes the what I want to be removed along with the insertion that I want to remain.

Spell check autocorrect

How do I add to the spell check dictionary without going to the options/proofing and adding it there. Can I add it with a right clik like earlier versons?

How do I stop blank document from opening automatically every time Word is opened (in windows 8)?

Posted: 07 May 2013 05:42 AM PDT

When I open the Word tile, word opens with a blank document.  This blank stays open after I've selected something else, and must always be closed separately.  How do I stop this?  Thanks.

Cross-referencing Unnumbered headings?

Posted: 06 May 2013 07:14 PM PDT

Could anyone tell me how to cross-reference Unnumbered headings? (e.g., H1 Unnumbered, H2 Unnumbered)

They do not seem to appear in the Cross-reference dialog box.

 

What I need to do is to place a page number of each Unnumbered heading.

 

Thank you in advance.

How to change two pages into one page via scaling printing??

Posted: 06 May 2013 06:02 PM PDT

Dear All,

 

 I edited two pages in word 2007 and i want to print them in one page. I remember that in Word 2003 I can print two pages in one page by adjustiing the scaling of print preview (such as 80% ,the two pages change to on page in the print preview).But now i cannot find this setting in the Word 2007.

Could you please tell me how to do it.Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards.

Sorting ranges of numbers in a Word Table

Posted: 06 May 2013 12:48 PM PDT

 I know how to sort a Word table by positive real numbers (e.g., 5.1, 6.2 or 9.0), but the sorting I need to do involves ranges of numbers (e.g., 6.2-9.1, which is not intended to be an arithmetical calculation resulting in the number -2.9; what the range actually represents is the bloom period for a plant described in the table, in this case blooming from the second half of June (6.2) through the first half of September (9.1), i.e., Summer).  Can Word tables containing these sorts of range entries be sorted (perhaps if the range were set out differently, e.g., 6.2/9.1 or 6.2...9.1)?  TX

I must have changed a setting to screw this up. When I open a saved document in Microsoft Word there is a blue dotted box around it and blue dotted lines between each sentence. It once was a plain document without all that. Can you help?

How do I permanently get rid of One Note when I print?

Posted: 06 May 2013 12:19 PM PDT

Loss of predefined style formats in word 2003 .dot file when opening in word 2010

Posted: 06 May 2013 09:57 AM PDT

Hi all,

 

I work for a client who has provided a template in 2003 word for completion of a report (they haven't upgraded yet, so can't provide a 2010 template). It has within it predefined styles, i.e. bullet points, reference, footer formatting. My entire office has been upgraded to 2010 which means when I now open the template the styles are all the "quick style"s.  Where are all the styles that have already been set in the document?

 

On opening an older document produced when we had 2003 and trying to save the styles to the quick style tab it informs me that the names already exist, so they are obviously still available, just hidden from view. On trying to paste special the styles over doesn't always work. Feel very much like I am hitting my head off a brick wall with office 2010 when trying to do stuff that was simple in 2003.

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

Sara

My cursor moves around the page on its own, why windows 8

Posted: 06 May 2013 03:14 AM PDT

When working in word my cursor moves around the page on its own with out me touching the blue tooth mouse or the mouse pad on my laptop, even typing this I have had to this point * I have had to undo and retype six times already, why is this so, I have typed for 40 minutes or so this evening without touching the mouse pad and have had to redo so much it is past frustrating.

Is is possible to have 2 Normal.dotm templates operating at the same time, one for personal use, one for company-wide use?

Posted: 05 May 2013 05:40 PM PDT

In past versions of Word it was possible to create a Normal.dot template and rename it (we called ours DP.dot) which contained styles, macros etc. in use company-wide.  We were also able to have available a local Normal.dot that contained our own personal styles/macros etc.

 

This seems to be a little problematic with Word 2013 for renaming a "company-wide" "Normal" template meant we lost some functionality around auto-text conversion to Word 2013.  I've overcome that problem by renaming the DP.dot back to nORMAL.dotm so that (when viewing it from the Macro Editor/Organizer or when saving building blocks etc. it was easy to differentiate between the two Normal templates).

 

That gave me back the functionality I was looking for, but then I find that keyboard shortcut keys assigned to styles saved in the company-wide template (nORMAL.dotm) do not work.  Those shortcut keys will work if you have that template open, but not otherwise.  Also those often used company-wide styles are showing in the Quick Styles Gallery when that nORMAL.dotm template is open, but those styles are not showing in a blank document.  I am assuming this is because the blank document is created from the locally available Normal.dotm rather than the company-wide nORMAL.dotm.

 

How can I make those styles available in the Quick Styles Gallery or make the keyboard shortcuts for those styles work when nORMAL.dotm is just running in the background, rather than being the template behind the open blank document.

 

Maybe I'm going about this all the wrong way.

 

Any help in steering me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Right-click boxes incomplete in Word and Office 2010

Posted: 02 May 2013 02:40 PM PDT

When using the right-click mouse button in Word 2010 and Excel 2010 only parts of the drop down menu/right-click boxes appear. Usually the top bar and some of the other information. Since the top bar is visible, I can close and re-open and then it's fine(usually). Typically using for creating a hyperlink, or with pictures, font editing, etc.  I am using a Dell Inspirion N5110, Windows 7, Home and Student Office 2010. Your suggestions to fix this problem are VERY welcome!

Hi Terri,

Try this:

Create your document using Works Word processor.

Next, save the document into My Documents folder by clicking File on the
menu bar then clicking Save As.

In the Save As dialog popup for Save in: My Documents should display, leave
as is. Under File name: give your file a name. Under Save as type: click
the down arrow and select .rtf (Rich Text Format), click Save.

Close Works Word processor.

Open your mail program, if Outlook Express, click Create Mail, attached the
above saved document to your mail and send it.

Let us know the result,
Ken

Ken:
I have done what you suggested and changed to .doc and also to rich format,
but no matter which I use, it changes my original format to something else.
Mine is a one page document and it has now been split in two.

I have gone to my "form" that I use and if I even change this, it transforms
into something else.

It is really imperative thta I get this solved and am certain this must be a
fairly common problem to other Works users.

Thanks again - waiting ror your suggestion!
