Microsoft Word - Footer shifts off page when the page size is changed

Microsoft Word - Footer shifts off page when the page size is changed

Footer shifts off page when the page size is changed

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:13 PM PDT

Sorry I realize this is probably a really easy fix, but I just can't figure it out. 

 

Our company uses a standard footer on word documents (this is new) and the template they sent out uses A4 paper.  When I change the paper size to Letter 8.5x11 the footer shifts off the page.  How do I get it to keep the footer at the bottom of the page?  I tried changing the paper size to legal and it moved the footer to about 2 inches from the bottom of the page on that one.

 

Thank you.

Problems with "draw table" in Word 2013: can't enter text into some cells

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:03 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2013 on an HP 2000 laptop with Windows 8.  I'm creating a document with a 5 column, 10 row table, which I started by using "Insert Table."  In the first row, I put my column headings.  So far I've had no problem entering data into any of the cells.

Today, however,  I decided to create an additional column heading row for each page to make the doc more readable.  I used "draw table" to add an additional row of 5 cells.  It's not separated; essentially I now have on each page a table of 5 columns and 2-3 rows, the top row intended for the headings.

However, I can only enter text into the fourth cell!  Why?

I also cannot delete the row, only the 4th cell, or even highlight the whole row.  When I do highlight that cell and click "backspace", the entire 4th column goes away (not surprisingly).  

How do I a) enter a row in a way that will not screw up the whole table and will allow me to write in each cell or b) fix the row I just added so that it will let me enter text?

thanks for any hints!

TEXT Box Question!!!

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 02:39 PM PDT

I have something that is driving me up the wall! When I go and created a Text Box in Word 2010 and put it down below the page and go to print it out, it shows in the print preview part of it, but when it prints it out part of the left side is missing. How can I fix this so that I can print what it sees?

When I add a table cell, existing text forgets its paragraph styles! help

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I am trying to compare two tables of contents side by side.  I am formatting the tables of contents so that I can easily see the header levels and then line up chapter 2 with chapter 2 and section 2.1 with section 2.1, and so forth.  I've been applying styles to each header level (my own styles - not any existing styles).  Every time I add some cells, my text forgets the styles that I applied and becomes another style.  What is going on?
I have turned off autoformat tables.  I have made sure that the default document font matches the Normal paragraph font.  

Why is the *cell* retaining the paragraph style instead of the *text*?  I want to apply the style to that *text* - for example, I want Chapter 2 Houses to always be my style "tc1" no matter what cell it ends up in.  

How can I get my text to keep its paragraph style even when I add cells to my table?

thank you

Upgrade to 2013 Pro: Word/Excel will Not Start

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 11:47 AM PDT

PROBLEM:

 

1.  After upgrading Microsoft Office 2010 to Microsoft Office 2013 Professional the programs will not start.  The Word and/or Excel splash screen appears with the automatic graphic "Starting" and active ".'s" running across the screen.  No further spawning of either program. 

 

Prior to upgrading to 2013, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional would intermittently hang at the splash screen.  The resolution was to perform a Control Panel/Programs and Featurses Repair of Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. 

 

Since upgrading yesterday and working successfully with 2013, this morning only the splasm screen appears.  Since I have seen this problem with 2010 I performed a network repair.  At the conclusion of the network repair I attempted to spawn or execute either Word or Excel and so far only the splash screen appears.

 

ASSISTANCE REQUESTED - Please Help.

 

Thank You,

Cannot open Word email attachments

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 10:30 AM PDT

Recently I am unable to open Word email attachments.  Here are the details:

  • When I try to open a Word attachment, I get an error message that says "Word experienced an error trying to open the file. ..."
  • I visited article 2387587 which discusses this problem.  In the solution, it is shown how to set Default Authentication Level to Connect and Default Impersonation Level to Identify.  However, these were already set properly on my computer.  Even after reapplying these settings, I am still unable to open Word attachments.
  • I cannot open a Word attachment neither directly from the email nor after saving it first on my hard drive.
  • It is the same problem whether trying to open the attachment from Outlook 2010 or from my web-based Gmail account.
  • I have the problem even with old email attachments that had previously been opened successfully.
  • Word attachments are displayed okay in Outlook preview and in Google documents view, but trying to open or save them from these places also gives the same problem.
  • I am able to open Excel attachments without a problem.
  • My operating system is Windows Home Premium, 32-bit.

Can anyone identify the source of this problem and tell me how to solve it?  Thanks.

Tables in a Word 2007 Fillable form

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 08:26 AM PDT

I am creating a fillable form in Word 2007. I have added tables with text form fields in each cell. I am aware that in a normal Word document, you are able to create a new row in a table just by tabbing cell to cell. Is it possible to create a table that does this with text form fields automatically in each new cell when editing is restricted to only filling in forms?

Creating a custom Word document view based on a user's selection

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:54 AM PDT

I have a document that several users have to complete various sections of. No one user has to complete all the sections on the document but I want to be able to create one document with all the content, but then the user only see's what they need based on the information they select about their role.

Is there a way on the first page of the document to have a radio button list of options which a user selects from and then based on their selections, content linked to each radio button selected displays on the following pages?

Thanks,

Is there a way so the Edit Hyperlink box always opens on the 'Place in This Document' section?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:47 AM PDT

This is admittedly a fiddly question. 

I have a document where I need to change a large number of external hyperlinks so they point to other pages in the document.

Whenever I right click on a hyperlink and then select 'Edit Hyperlink' in the box that appears it always opens on the 'Link To: Existing Webpage' sub-window.  Is there a way to set things so 'Edit Hyperlink' always opens on 'Place Within This Document' instead? 

Doesn't seem like much, but I'm wondering if I can save myself a ton of little clicks over the long run.

Is there a way to only search a document for *external* hyperlinks?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:40 AM PDT

I know how to search a document for hyperlinks using the 'Find Style' option in the Find and Replace box.  However, this only lets you search for all hyperlinks.

What I need to do is find a handful of hyperlinks pointing to external websites in a sea of hyperlinks linking internally to other pages within the document.

Is there a way to search for specific sub-types of hyperlinks?

Spaces between words in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:29 AM PDT

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010.

When I type text, the spaces between the words are much bigger than they used to be. I've tried everything I can think of to try and fix it. I've been using the same font (Cambria) for nearly ten years now, and this has happened for the first time today.

How can I change the space size back to how it was (and has been for the last decade)? This is a really frustrating problem and I can't find a suitable answer anywhere on the internet.

Please note: I'm not talking about characters, ie. Individual letters and numbers. I'm referring to the spaces created when you press the space bar.

Things I've tried: made sure the text is left justified. Turning on the hidden formatting symbols to check whether I was somehow putting two spaces instead of one between words (I wasn't).

I'd be massively grateful to anyone who could help. I know it's only a minor thing, but minor things do tend to be the most annoying!

Thanks very much for your time

How to avoid new paragraph style over-riding paragraph indent

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 05:50 AM PDT

I am writing a document in which most paragraphs are left aligned but some are indented by 0.9cm so as to align with the text of a bulleted list (since they provide more info on the the bullet list item above them). I created a style called "Normal,UM Body Text" based on "no style" for the majority of paragraphs. Then I created a style for the indented paragraphs called "UM body indented to align with bullet text" based on "Normal" to indent the required paragraphs by 0.9 cm.

 

So far so good.

 

But there's also a requirement to have certain paragraphs beginning "Note:" in a different style - blue text, smaller font (10pt instead of 11pt) and closer line spacing (single line instead of x 1.2 lines). But these changes could equally well have to apply to a normal (left-aligned) paragraph and the indented ones.

 

How can I set up a style to do that - to over-ride font colour, font size and line spacing but NOT to over-ride paragraph indent? My attempts so far have resulted in a style that over-rides the paragraph indent to make it either left-aligned or 0.9cm indent (depending on whether I base it on  "Normal,UM Body Text" or "UM body indented to align with bullet text"). Basing it on "no style" is even worse as it over-rides the 8pt after-paragraph space I've set up in my styles with the default 10pt one.

 

Hoping someone on here can help.

HI!
I recently bought Office 2013. Everything was working fine until I had to convert a .docx file to 97-2003 format for someone who couldn't open my file in their computer.

Protecting paragraphs of text in a template

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 02:13 AM PDT

I have a Word 2010 template where some paragraphs cannot be edited by the user.

For the protected paragraphs, I have implemented the text in a content control and have ticked the 'content control cannot be deleted' and 'contents cannot be edited' properties.  This works well and achieves what I want but there is nothing to stop the user accessing the content control's properties and unticking the options making the paragraphs editable again.

I have also tried using the Restrict Editing option selecting the No changes option and then selecting the text the users are allowed to edit as exceptions.  However, my users don't like the yellow highlighting of the text that they are allowed to edit.

So I have three questions:

1.  Is it possible to protect the properties of content controls so that users can't edit them?
2.  Is it possible to use the Restrict Editing option without having the editable text highlighted?  I know the users can untick the 'highlight the regions I can edit' option but you have to do that every time you open the document.
3.  Are there any other ways of achieving my goal of a template containing mostly text that can be edited but also containing text that cannot be edited?

TIA

Māori macrons in Word 2007

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 12:20 AM PDT

As you can see from the header, I have changed to the Māori keyboard. But annoyingly the grave key doesn't produce macrons when I am using Word! In fact, pressing that key then a vowel doesn't do anything at all. Whereas they work fine in Gmail, Acrobat, etcetera.  Is there some setting in Word 2007 that needs changing first?

Stop Read Only on Word Protected Form

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:25 PM PDT

I have created a template in word which is a protected document, based on the "Fill in Forms" level of protection.

 

All works well, and each individual can open the template fill it in and then save it no problem.

 

The error arises however when a different user opens a document filled in and saved by somebody else it will only open as "read only".

 

How can I get around this issue so that anybody can open the forms that have been previously filled out and edit the data (obviously only the data in the form fields) and re-save the document without the need for save as and a different file name?

 

Many thanks!

In Word 2010 cursor jumps around mixed with downloading icon

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:23 PM PDT

My problem only occurs when using Word 2010.  Using Windows 7 & OFFICE Home & Student 2010.

 

It is hard to describe.  My cursor has gone "mad".  It is rapidly flashing while at the same time as what appears to be the downloading blue circular icon is rapidly flashing over the cursor.  I can, with some difficulty, still do most things, but the double flashing icon is always flashing.  I can move it to an icon on the ribbon & click what I want & it does it for me e.g. I can use mouse to highlight some words & then go to the B icon toolbar & click & the words become "bold".

 

I can use "enter" to get a new line, but the cursor does not show, but when I type a character it shows where I expected it to be.   This all very disconcerting & I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.  I don't have any problem in Excel.

Suppress the data source dialog in a Saved Word Mail Merge Document

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 02:51 PM PDT

In VBA from within an Access database, I've automated the creation of  a Mail Merge document from a Word template. We're getting the Word document produced fine, with no dialogs popping up.

 

However, when a user returns later to reopen the document, they getting the security dialog informing them that they will launch a query to retrieve data from the original source. Clicking either "yes" or "no" sends the user on to the previously created document with the proper values in the merge fields.

 

I must  suppress that dialog. It's a deal-breaker for the client.

 

What options are available?

Need Permission from Administrator on My Own Computer??????????

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 02:26 PM PDT

Just got new laptop with Windows 8. So far I hate Windows 8. I restored files from Mozy onto new laptop and now every document I try to open is in Read-Only mode and I can't save them even as new documents because I (the only person using the computer) don't have permission from the administrator. Is there a way around this? Can I stop all these ridiculous administrator messages from appearing and just give myself permission to do whatever I want on my own computer? I tried to right click on the documents folder and click properties and uncheck read-only but it doesn't work, probably also because of administrator ****.

How can I create a template where I can tab to various lines without the words moving?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:58 PM PDT

I have a template that my boss sent me for a technical document. It's 3 pages long and 90% of the text doesn't change from project to project. However, there are about 20 places in the document that can vary and many of these areas are embedded in a sentence.  He has it setup where I can select from a dropdown box which is great. Right now to get to the next box or line I scroll down then click on the box and make the appropriate choice.

While that's easy I'd like to be more efficient. Is there a way to set a tab so that I can just press the tab button and have it go to the next box? I'd even be happy if it just tabbed to the next line where I need to make a selection if I couldn't get it to tab to the exact position in the document.

Thank you very much.

How do I search inside several documents in 2010 without opening each one?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:30 PM PDT

In Word 2003 I could set on a folder and search for something within all the documents inside the folder without having to open the folder and then open each document to look for what I wanted.  I have been unable to search that way in Word 2010. 

 

    For example:   I want to find how many letters were sent to Al Jones within the 2013 Letters folder.  I need to find all and write down the dates so as to send yet another letter - there are 100 letters in this folder.  How do I set on the folder and have the system search for all the Al Jones letters?

 

I have been looking for several months within different Communities for help but have yet to find anything.  Is there anyone who has found an answer?

If Office XP is retail version, you can install or renstall on as many machines as you wish provided not all of them are used simultaneously. There is no need to uninstall from the old machine!. Activation is normally automatic if you are reinstalling after 120 days of the first installation via internet. Otherwise, you will need to activate by phone. I suggest read this article first:

I had someone help correct my computer & lost Microsoft Office. C.

Posted: 22 Oct 2004 10:37 PM PDT

YES. It looks like the links on the desktop have disappeared so do a search for the following:

1) Excel.exe
2) Frontpg.exe
3) MSAccess.exe
4) Outlook.exe
5) PowerPnt.exe
6) WinWord.exe

Just right-click on these and select create a shortcut on Desktop!! Or simply look for MSOFFICE.EXE and run it and it will create a shortcup toolbar in Office XP Professional. Office 2003 does not have this and so there is no point in buying this!

I find it difficult to comprehend Office can be deleted so easily. Uncle Bill does not like his progs to be dumped easily for substitutes such as WordPerfect Office!!

Did that "someone" format the hard drive? If sothen don't waste time searching for anything but get hold of original CDs and/or use restore CDs supplied by your PC vendor.

Hope this helps.

You can get this from your existing computer by using the pirating tool supplied by Micky Mouse Stevens {M$ MVP - Lier) called ViewKey. Just do a search for ViewKey and ee what you get on the internet. Failure this, you need to contact Uncle Bill's Office in your country who can help you out. Failure this, you need to get pirated keys from here:

All this info is supplied by Micky Mouse Stevens on other newsgroups. He is the sole supplier of pirating tools for M$ products in the world.

How do I transfer all e-mail data to new computer?

Posted: 22 Oct 2004 08:55 AM PDT

I would make use of Uncle Bill's File & Settings Transfer Wizard and you access this as follows:

Start, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

This is fine if your old/current computer is already running XP. If not then you need to run this from the Windows XP CD (which you should get with your new PC) on your old PC and follow the instructions.

Then in the new machine, again use the same thing but this time select that "this is a new PC" or something similar to import the data.

If you don't get a CD with the new PC then you are wasting your money as a PC without the actual CDs {of all preloaded software} is useless!!!

I would always rely on Uncle Bill's programs as these must be working otherwise he can't make money!!

Hope this helps.

Before I set up 2003, lingering 2000 problem

Posted: 21 Oct 2004 11:35 AM PDT

Hi, Ariel. It's good that you read the instructions. I wouldn't try
the utility with Windows XP; it might work just fine, or it might mess
up your Office installation to the point where you have to uninstall and
reinstall. I think your approach of fixing old problems before
upgrading is a good one. But now that you've already upgraded twice and
are about to do it a third time, and as the annoyance doesn't seem to be
adversely affecting how Office is working, and since you don't want to
do a clean install, I'd say it's probably better to let sleeping dogs
lay.

Lilo on Floppy

Posted: 28 Sep 2004 06:45 PM PDT

Thanks for the responses, especially Peter's, which contained a bit
more sass and sarcasm than I generally care for. But really, all the
others were a great help.

Thanks to Lew Pitcher for agreeing that it's good to not risk things
you don't have to.

Anyway, I have decided that once I wrap up some critical college
applications and essays that I have going on, I will jump in again and
boot Linux. It's just that I think it would be very bad to have to
fix my computer while I have things on it that I spent a lot of time
on. Of course, I could back them up (and do), but I like to work on
them too.

So, based on your combined suggestions and the sorry realization that
Lilo is not able to do anything in Windows, I will probably redo my
Linux install (shouldn't have to do it all over again), and see if it
will do something nicer than last time.

Thanks again,

Aaron

Using the rescue disk, try re-installing grub.
After "chroot /mnt/sysimage" look at /etc/grub.conf
and make sure it looks for the right partition.
(You would get the "OS not found" error message
if it was looking at the wrong partition.)
Assuming grub.conf is correct,
say "grub-install --recheck /dev/hda",
and see if it works now.

you need a tool from MBS to republish your reports.

Only way to get this is to log a support call. Here are detils in case you
need them

Contact Microsoft CRM Support by dialing our support number (888-477-7877)
or logging a case via the web, at http://mbs.microsoft.com/support if you
are an existing Microsoft Business Solutions customer or partner. If you
are using Microsoft CRM from a Microsoft MSDN subscription, then you should

The activitytype value controls whether or not it will sync with Outlook. Only

The only way to do this would be to create the new activities in a different

solutions like this. As said this feature has been mentioned as a possible
for the next crm release although as always nothing is guaranteed until it

Emails not sending

Try sending another email and check again right away on the server. There MSCRM
will log details about the error there. Typically, there is a connection issue
between CRM & Exchange, but without the specific error, it's tought to help.

SDK and web form

Based on the verbage John supplied, using the SDK would be allowed in this
situation. The SDK documentation has samples of how to create records (no
specific lead creation examples, but they're no different than other objects).

Outlook CRM Installation

Posted: 25 Apr 2004 04:03 PM PDT

Michael;

IE has security settings that allow for the users' windows credentials to be
passed to web sites as authenticaion (Tools-->Internet
Options-->Security-->Custom-->User Authentication). If you get your users
to the point where they can connect to the CRM via a browser without being
challenged, then you should not have problems when installing the SFO
client.

Well, one other option to rule out a IIS config issue: try browsing to
http://crmservername//MSCRMConnector/ICrmEmailDispatchSDL.SRF

Sometimes the base files returns an error when trying to browse to it. This one
should return a SOAP message.

If you get an error, please respond with the exact error number and message.

Crystal Report LICENCE ERROR and FIREWALL

Posted: 23 Apr 2004 10:09 AM PDT

I solve it !
It's a quite difficoult to explain but I think it could be interesting (for
sys-admin and for Microsoft).

The problem occurs when the crm server is in a Lan A protected by a firewall
and some users are in a Lan B protected by a second Firewall. The two Lan
are connected by Internet. The internal crmserver name is different from the
external (public) crmserver name.

With the standard configuration only users in LanA and Internet can access
the CRM.
Changing the IIS autentication method adding "base autentication-non cript"
users in LanB can access the CRM; but if they try to open a report a
"Crystal Licence" error occurs.
If you want to correct the error you have to edit the file hosts adding
this:
127.0.0.1 www.crmserver-publicaddressname.com

I don't know why, but it works !

Enjoy.
Sebastiano.

Did you create the website "CRM" in IIS before installing CRM on the SBS?
SBS uses Sharepoint Services and the company intranet uses the Default Web
Site. If you try to install CRM to the default settings, it will create
havoc with CRM and the SBS intranet site. Check page 249 in the CRM
