Microsoft Word - Can't add Outline level Format with 'Find and Replace'

Microsoft Word - Can't add Outline level Format with 'Find and Replace'

Can't add Outline level Format with 'Find and Replace'

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 08:06 AM PDT

I use Microsoft Word 2010. I'd like to use 'Find and Replace' (opened with 'Control h') to add an outline level format to a word, but I can't.


Here is what I do:

(1) In Word 2010, I enter 'Microsoft' followed by a newline character.

(2) I open the 'Find and Replace' pop-up window with 'Control h'.

(3) In the 'Find what' field, I enter 'Microsoft^p'.

(4) In the 'Replace with' field, I enter 'MicrosoftZZ^p'. I add ZZ because I know for sure when the Replace is executed. I also select 'Level 1' in 'Format->Paragraph->Outline level' for this field.

(5) After the replacement, I highlight 'MicrosoftZZ' , right-click and select 'Paragraph', and it still shows 'Body Text' in the 'Outline level' field.


I can change the outline level of texts manually, but I'd like to do it with "Find and Replace" as I need to do it a lot.

MSOSYNC.EXE hanging - Windows Terminal Services, Citrix XenApp 6.5

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 11:59 PM PDT

Hi!

 

First a little about our environment:

 

Windows 2008 R2 with XenApp 6.5

Published IE10 and Office 2013 thru Citrix

Office 365 with mail and SharePoint

 

When we access SharePoint through Word the Microsoft Upload Center (MSOSYNC.EXE*32) kicks in. That is expected for handling caching. We have applied two GPO's for handling caching. 

 

Open documents from Office Document Cache first - Disabled (Go online at first attempt)

Delete files from Office Document Cache - Enabled (Delete cache when closing application. (This works))

 

After we close Word (only one application running), we are logged of the terminal server as expected. However, the MSOSYNC.EXE*32 will still be running for approx. 25 minutes before this process is closed and a complete log off is finished.

 

Why are MSOSYNC.EXE*32 hanging? We did not edit any documents, just opened and closed... Therefore, the sync should not have to upload anything to the SharePoint site.

How do I totally disable the Word 2007 program from Pro Office 2007?

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 07:21 PM PDT

I am tired of Word 2007 deciding that it cannot close, or all of a sudden refusing to copy and paste, or popping up error messages telling me it has a problem, but nothing fixes it despite weeks of trying. 

I've downloaded an alternative that works just fine. 

My question is, how do I totally disable Word 2007 so that it stops interfering with me using my computer please?

Proofing language

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 06:12 PM PDT

I am using Word 2010 that was purchased in Australia. I live in Australia, and want to use English (Australia) as the default language. I have set the default as this more times than I can count and it continues to revert to French. How do I change it back to the correct language, and please don't insult me by telling me to choose Review, Language, Set Proofing Language.

Thanks, in continuing frustration.....

HOW TO CHANGE THE DOCUMENT NAME SORT TO DEFAULT TO NEWEST YEAR INSTEAD OF OLDEST AS THE DEFAULT SETTING?

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 11:43 AM PDT

Let me rephrase the question...I click on Library/Documents, and my stored work files come up, but under Name it always lists the oldest year first, when what I want is the newest year. I always have to click on Name to reverse the order. Wish I could change the default of Name to newest first or get it to remember the order I want and save it. Same problem after I open a file, I always have to click on Name to reverse the default order. More clicking than I ever had to do in Windows XP!

 

Every time I open a document, name items default to oldest year first and I have to click to change to newest year first every time. How can I change default to newest year first?

 

Thanks for any help!

Section number format

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 08:02 AM PDT

I am working on a 130,000+ word document; have been for several months.  I used the style in the Word 2010 ribbon to organize the document (i.e., 1, 1.1., 1.1.1, etc.).  

Last Friday, when I opened the document there was a black box instead of two numbers separated by a decimal point (ex. 1.1) in front of the level 2 headings.  Levels 1, 3, etc. were fine.

I stupidly tried to fix it.  Now the level 2 heading looks like level 3 in both the document and the ribbon at the top of the page.  (I clicked base style on and could not Undo.)

Worse, any new level 2 headings I create looks like the level 3 so I cannot even re-type all the headings.  I have no idea what I did originally.  

What do I do now?

Please be explicit in your advice.  I am an old limnologist (64) and not computer intuitive or literate.  I can however follow instruction.

(All my ideas are so labor intensive I shudder.)

Thanks, 

Jerry

GoTo Bookmark in a Word Document using Excel VBA

Posted: 13 Jun 2013 06:39 AM PDT

I originally posted this question on the Excel Forum, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-excel/vba-msgbox-help-dialogue/5ea88fd7-9a66-4c6a-80e7-1e76052b0c4f, but it may now be more appropriate here.

 

I have a CommandButton (one of many) on a UserForm, and wish to use this as a Help facility.

 

My non-working code is:

 

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim strTopic As String
strTopic = "Topic1009"
Call OpenHelpDocument(strTopic)
End Sub

 

Private Sub OpenHelpDocument(strTopic)
Dim strPath As String
strPath = "C:\My Documents\HelpFile.doc"
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open (strPath)

MsgBox strTopic ' For the purpose of Testing
objWord.Selection.Goto What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=strTopic
End Sub

 

The Word document contains the neccessary bookmarks.

The doument opens ok, yet the code says the bookmark does not exist.

 

As a further enhancement, I would like to open the HelpFile as read-only.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

If I see it right the main difference between OOo and MSO2003 in this
regard is the order of entries in menu and toolbars, right?

So aligning OOo's menu structure and toolbar content to MSO2003 as close
as possible should bring you a big step further. Fortunately this can be
done without coding, you just need to rewrite some XML files that store
the configuration of menu and toolbars. In case you are interested in
doing this please follow up on the openoffice.org mailing

Unfortunately the new MS formats are just as closed as the old formats
so there is not really hope of third party implementations. Licensing
gotchas actually make the possibility smaller.

Best policy is to reject them. If you are getting them through your
mail, then you can set your mail filter to block them from your view and
autorespond with a rejection notice including instructions in how to
save in a better format.

Turkey has had a long history of denying basic human rights to Kurds, of

Your reply told me something I didn't know, I used Star back in the 80's ( I think it is the same thing).

I was happy to upload open office as I knew Google were using Linux, and have been delighed and impressed with the professionalism of Open Office and the discuss group.

If you upload something you can just as easily uninstall it later.

Hello,

In Writer I went to "Help>Check for Updates". The dialog box message read
"A new update is available. Click 'OK' to open the website, where you can
start the download".

Clicking "OK" takes me to
http://update.services.openoffice.org/ooo/221.html, which does not seem to
offer the update. Perhaps I'm overlooking something.

It seems obvious that "SOLUTIONS", "CONTRIBUTE", and "FEEDBACK" sections
wouldn't link to an update. The "SERVICES" section seemed possible, but when
I followed the link in that section, I still didn't find anything that looks
like an update to writer.

Let's see...while it was a rambling email, the OP DID have a valid
suggestion. And for the valid suggestion, the only response he gets is
the far-from-civil response from christine jones.

Given that I've already changed the defaults on MY installation, I
cannot confirm what the original defaults were, as Chris was unable to
do, but if the spreadsheet defaults to having autocorrect on, that
seems to me to be a bad idea, as well. Autocorrect is not nearly
fine-grained enough to distinguish between badly spelled words and
variable or data-range names, for instance, and something like that
can really mess up a spreadsheet user. So, while having autocorrect on
for Writer might be a good idea, it's a BAD idea for Calc.

I'm picky enough to mess with autocorrect as one of the first things I
do after installing, but I dare say that most casual office suite
users don't even know autocorrect exists until it's bit them in the
rear a few times. Modifying the installation scripts so that users are
given the option of choosing whether to turn autocorrect on would, at
least, make them aware at the start of its existence, and ensure that,
if it IS turned on, it is by the user's choice, rather than as a default.=

"control panel"
"installation program"

I would wager that you two are not exactly linux experts.
If it is the file manager then the wrong values have been recorded in
the mime database, and what caused this depends on various factors,
which OOo did he install first, which one (if not both) were provided
by his distro etc?

For the OP, in order to change the file associations through the
nautilus (GNOME), one has to change the default program in the "Open
with" tab of the properties dialog of any of the relevent files. If in
KDE, then it's one of the applets in the K Control Centre. (and
possibly one of the tools in the file manager as well, not sure)

[discuss] Online Classroom Whiteboard Applications

Posted: 30 Jul 2007 01:39 PM PDT

Hi, Russ,

I've been doing distance learning projects on and off since 1995. 1994
if you count a monstrously large (at the time) web tutorial. Time is
ripe for a project to identify and evaluate the open source technologies
useful for distance education. Perhaps funding can be sought for next
year and work spread over a few colleges or universities?

I've used many of those commercial tools mentioned and it escapes me
that there is so much focus on monolithic "solutions", often replacing a
cheaper, easier to use, easier to maintain, more flexible and more
powerful set of tools.

Following a modular plan will give much more flexibility and
functionality.

Specific programs are not as important to Voice chat as are the school's
choice of protocols. Choose an open protocol (e.g. SIP) and you get a
choice of applications and platforms. Choose a closed protocol and your
S.O.L. unless your vendor wants to help you.

To start with WengoPhone, ekiga, kphone, YATE, Gizmo might give ideas
about what to look for and where to search further.

Same with text chat. Pidgin (formerly GAIM) is one of the best. Again
the protocols are more important than the specific programs. However,
most VOIP clients also include text-based chat.

For whiteboards I've considered using just a plain old remote desktop
connection. See KDE's krdc and krfb for one example, but there are
others that work together. These seem to allow many-to-one connections
and read-only connections. Again, its the protocol that's important, in
this case rfb or vnc.

Regards,
-Lars

Hello James

On my Intel iMac with OSX 10.4.10 I always use the Apple-C -V and -X
shortcuts. Same on my PPC Powerbook. I don't remember doing anything
special to achieve this... So both ctrl- and cmd- shortcuts work!

As for Calc, the mousewheel indeed scrolls very fast, so that you tend
to lose track. I hope this will be dealt with. Meanwhile, you can
always use the scroll bar on the right hand side. (I also dislike that
the arrows on the scrollbars are on opposite sides insteda of together
as on Mac - these are issues that are linked to a multi-platform
program that looks too much at one platform, i.e. Windows).

I wouldn't advise to switch to NeoOffice. It has few advantages over
OOo's main development. In fact it mostly copies OOo, and is always at
least one release behind as a consequence. NO isn_not_ the Aqua
version of OOo, but a fork, a side-track whose team doesn't contribute
anything to OOo's development (so called because of a different
licence).

OOo's Mac porting team is testing the Aqua version of OpenOffice.org
right now. A stable of _the real stuff_ will probably be available
somewhere later this year. Look out for it!

[discuss] I have an idea to help OO Writer "Go Hollywood"

And each production insists on their own different

improved a thousand times if they all used the same
formatting specifications, and didn't spend time measuring
whether the line spacing was 1/8 inch or 5/32 inch high.]
 

Lost in the bowels of the OOo website is a project to do
just that. I've forgotten what it is called, but the
original theory was that it would produce templates for the
"major" studios, and then fine tune them for the specific
productions. I've forgotten how the screenplay template fits
in with that project.

These are the guys that will fire you because the document
used midnight blue ink for the lead actor, rather than dark
blue ink. God help you if the document is printed on canary
yellow paper, instead of manilla.[That the footer contains a
date and time stamp is not enough information to tell the
understudy that they are using the wrong document.]

[discuss] Internet Slide Shows

Posted: 25 Jul 2007 12:08 PM PDT

Hi,

As Alexandro mentioned, OOo can export presentations to Flash. I'd look
into that route as one option.

Another option is to use a viewer for the OpenDocument Format files
created by OpenOffice. The OpenDocument Fellowship has created one such
tool which will work with your presentations:
http://opendocumentfellowship.org/odfviewer

Remember with OpenOffice.org, your files are not locked into a single
application, but are available to many others. OpenDocument Format has,
with one notable exception, wide industry support and works in over 50
applications and handful of toolkits.

Regards,
-Lars

[discuss] Proposal for a New OpenOffice.org Art Project

Posted: 24 Jul 2007 03:28 AM PDT

Hi,
 

thanks, that sounds good! Having a leadership definitely is one of the
most important things, so - apart from the discussion if it makes sense
to establish an own Art project at the moment because lack of
contributors - we definitely need at least two people, I guess. Feel
free to search for them. ;-)
 

I will answer to the other concerns in the respective thread later this
evening.

Florian
