Microsoft Word - Difficulty importing WordPerfect document containing watermark

Microsoft Word - Difficulty importing WordPerfect document containing watermark


Difficulty importing WordPerfect document containing watermark

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 02:45 PM PDT

I have a simple WordPerfect document that contains a watermark.  When I import this into Word 2013 the watermark does not appear; I have not been able to make the image appear in any view or by inspecting the header.  I then save the result as a .docx and start looking in the archive.    

 

The image is stored in the media folder as image1.wmf. 

 

word\_rels\header1.xml.rels looks correct:

<Relationships xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships">
 <Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="media/image1.wmf"/>
</Relationships>

 

word\header1.xml refers to the image:

So, everything appears to be in place for a watermark, but there is obviously something not quite right. 

 

I am quite willing to 'fix up' the data in just about any way to avoid a more brute force approach.  My desire is for a high degree of automation in the conversion process, because my user community has a widely varying degree of competency.

 

I have a small test case available.

 

Autosaved document saved over my file???

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 01:45 PM PDT

I was working on a ten page document off my flashdrive, and completed it... However, upon exiting the document (which was saved in it's entirety) I realized that there was another "autosaved" version of the document open as well, but this autosaved file was only up to page three. When I exited the document, I hit "save changes" thinking that this would just allow the autosaved document to apply any changes it had recovered to the finished, already saved, same document. However, the autosaved version completely saved over my document, so now my 10 page document that was saved is replaced by the autosaved document that only went up until page three... Is there anything I can do to restore the document to where it was saved before the autosave document was saved over it? I already tried going to recent versions and there's nothing there... Please help! I really don't want to have to rewrite seven pages...

"Don't Add Space Between Paragraphs of the Same Style"-Driving Me Crazy! MS Office 365 Home Premium

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:44 AM PDT

I have MS Office 365 Home Premium and the "Don't Add Space Between Paragraphs of the Same Style" function is ridiculous.  I constantly have to re-select it when I am typing.  I have tried making it be the default function, but to no avail. 
Is there a way to make this function box stay checked the entire time?

If it matters, I use Skydrive.

Thank you so much!

Hyperlinks work in Word but are not created in pdf

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:26 AM PDT

I am trying to create hyperlinks between files in the same folder (same level). The links work fine in Word but when I Save As PDF or Create PDF from ribbon, nothing shows up in the pdf. I am using Windows 7 on a PC, MS Office Pro Plus 2010 (Version 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit) and Adobe Acrobat X (Version 10.1.1). I am not printing to pdf but saving to pdf. In the file I'm linking to I created a bookmark. In the file that I want the hyperlink I created one to the bookmark.

 

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone advise?

 

Thanks!

arrow button gets confused at end of page in hebrew

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 10:29 AM PDT

Very simple problem: I have a page of hebrew text (which goes from right to left). I am going along the line with the left-arrow (this is going forward in Hebrew). When I reach the end of the page, instead of going to the next page, where the text continues, the cursor starts jumping from the end of the line back one character, then forward to the end of the line again, then back again, ad infinitum. 
Sounds like a bug to me.

Office won't open hyperlinks in default browser

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 09:15 AM PDT

There is a problem with the way MS Office applications (Word and OneNote, for example, but NOT Outlook) open hyperlinks.
Instead of simply opening the link in the default browser, Office tries to pre-load the links in the background using Internet Explorer.  My internet access at work goes through a proxy, and IE is not set up to use the proxy, and is not supported.  So the pre-load attempt by Office fails, and it just shows the error: "Unable to open <hyperlink>.  Cannot download the information you requested."

Is there any way at all to turn off this behavior?


Can I create a drop down box to change the address in the header?

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:55 AM PDT

The business I work for has a number of locations and in an effort to create more uniformity, I've been asked to share my templates with the rest of the company via our intranet. However, they all have our branch address/phone in the header. Is there a way to make it easy to change that address/phone for people in other offices so they don't have to type in their info each time? Most of the templates are in Word 2007 but I also have a couple in Excel 2007. 

Why can't I delete Microsoft Office from my labtop?

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Hello,

 

Maybe, it sounds a little bit weird but I can not delete Office from my computer. I recently had a problem with it ( I could not start any Office program) which was not solved. So, I decided to reinstall my Office. Now, I've got another problem: I can't delete it! Uninstallation is stuck at 2nd step(there are four step at all). I have waited for 4 hours but it didn't help! Please, can anybody tell me what I should do?

Thanks!

 

 

How can I edit the custom toolbars in Word 2007

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:47 AM PDT

A previous employee figured out (without documenting how) how to load up old Word 2003 custom toolbars into Word 2007 and Word 2010.  Trouble is, some of the macros on the toolbars are now obsolete and need to be removed.  I cannot seem to be able to find any place where I can edit them.

 

I currently have 2007 installed but have a license for 2010 if that makes it easier.

 

Thanks,

Macros, building blocks, or quick parts?

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:15 AM PDT

I am a former Word Perfect power user.  I made the switch to Word 2010 about a year ago.  I relied heavily on Word Perfect macros to perform many tasks from creating form letters and asking me to insert specific text to customize the form to simply inserting a signature block.  I have figured out the basics of Word, but am struggling (among other Word/Word Perfect adjustments) with trying to determine whether Word has any type of equivalent to Word Perfect macros.  For example, I previously had a macro that would insert letterhead, adjust the top margin of the first page and replace the date code of the letter with date text that would not change when I finalized a letter simply by clicking 2 keystrokes.  Can someone point me in the best direction for an equivalent in Word, if such exists?  Thank you for your help.

VBScript to change color indicators in a word document

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:00 AM PDT

Hello, I have created a Project Status Report for work. Attached is the prototype:


I will be using this template to populate data from an excel sheet using Mail Merge. I have indicators for different areas which need to be Green, Red and Yellow as per the respective project's health. So, the excel sheet will have G, R, and Y, respectively to populate the current status.
I will be needing a macro to check if the text reads G, R or Y and fill the circle with the corresponding color. Kindly suggest how to go about it.

Thanks in advance

Trouble with formulas in Tables - Microsoft Word 2013 - after installing updates released on 13th of July, 2013

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 01:56 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I currently use a Microsoft Word template for my invoices and have noticed problems with formulas in Microsoft Word 2013 since installing updates on the 13th of July, 2013.

 

In my Word Template I have a table that contains columns for quantity, unit price and totals. The formulas are formatted for my currency with 2 decimals. My problem is when I enter an amount of 1 in the quantity column and 100.00 in the unit price column, the total displays as R 1.00.

 

Please give me advice on how to solve this problem?

 

Kind Regards,

Arthur Durand

Translation software slows Word

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 11:55 PM PDT

Well here is it: 
Recently I just installed a translator software on my PC( win 7 64bit Ultimate) and it is embedded with the function of screen-capturing translation.
But whenever I opened the Word, the computer would suddenly become so slow and eventually lead to a collapse. ( sometimes I cannot open task manager smoothly and my only choice would be to LOG OFF)

So my way of tackling this is to run the word file sandboxed. And it goes very well up to now.

I am just curious and want to know why the problem exists? 
You can give me reasonable conjectures and I appreciate that ,

Cheers. 

How can I remove an unwanted page break?

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 06:30 PM PDT

In an all-text document, there is an unwanted page break that shows up in Draft. I have checked values for before and after paragraphs and they are at 0. When I try to move the text from the next page to the proper place, it re-formats into bold and the page break remains under what I have moved. Formatting marks don't reveal anything unusual.

Also, is there a quick key to display formatting marks?

Thanks.

A path problem in my Word 2013

Can someone tell me how to deal with it? I am not quite familiar with how to fix the problems of computer. Thank you

Zoom in Word 2010 Printing

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 06:01 PM PDT

I'm having trouble printing my pages to scale.  This is at my work on a shared network and only my laptop seems to have this problem, other people linked to the printer aren't experiencing this.  If I save a document to a shared/common folder, others can print it out as normal, so must be something with how Word 2010 is formatting on my laptop.

 

When I am working in a document, I have clicked on 100% scale under the View Tab, it all looks ok on the screen

 

But when I click on Print, the Zoom on the slide bar is at 70%....while the document preview still 'appears' full screen.  If I slide the zoom up to 100%, the page becomes 'oversized' and I can't see all the document, so when I print I lose the right edge and bottom off my document.  I have basic settings for printing - A4 paper size, custom margins, 1 page per sheet. 

 

I have seen people discussing zoom in other posts and answers have been around macros, but I have never been that advanced with formatting manipulation, so if there's a simpler way to do it would be helpful.  If using auto macros is the only way to go, clear instructions for a noob would be great!  ;)

 

Thanks for your help!

Disable table font resize function when printing

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 04:53 PM PDT

Using Word 2007, my table automatically prints at a reduced font size.  It looks normal on the screen and in print view.  I have disabled "automatically resize to fit contents" in table options but no change.  This is driving me crazy as I have a major paper due in 2 days and the formatting requirements necessitate that I control  my font size.  Could anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thankyou! :-)

normal.dot error when saving and closing a Word 2010 doc

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 04:09 PM PDT

When I save a particular file, MS Word asks if I also want to save changes to the document template. I say no. When I then close this particular file, MS Word asks if I want to save changes to NORMAL.DOT. This does not happen with other documents. I didn't do anything unusual in this document, and do not wish to mess with the normal.dot. Also the normal.dot file recently appeared in my Recent Docs list. How can I stop these error messages?
Thank you!

OK then Erik and the others who posted.
I've had a bit of unexpected spare time on my hands and have done some
experimenting.
The newer formula posted by Kevin (and written by Michael) works for
me. It succesfully printed the trailing zero as needed. However, an
issue that has not been overcome so far is that blank, number
(currency) formatted fields always seem to return £0.00 rather than ""
(null string). As my document contains currency subtotals - often
null strings - this meant that I was printing £0.00 quite a lot when I
would have preferred it just to be blank.
When I tried the .csv method proposed by Erik, this fixed that issue.
I have heard of .csv before and actually used it for something
entirely different some time back but wasn't aware of its
possibilities in overcoming some of the print-out issues of higher
level software.
Anyway, I have decided to dispense with those formulas in the Works
database. After each change, I will now save the database twice and
merge from the .csv file overwriting it each time with the new .csv
file.

I haven't quite got the guts to totally remove the original .wdb file
(with the formulas) in case something unexpected goes wrong so I will
store it somewhere - just in case.

Thanks for your input everyone.

Works Database formula for report

Posted: 14 Apr 2005 04:43 PM PDT

Hi Tee,

I have responded by email and returned your database updated and
functioning as requested.

The main issue was that the report used two Record lines, one to display
the purchase details, the second to show shopper's Notes, if present.

The database designer wanted to condition the second line to appear
ONLY if there were Notes to display, thus removing blank lines. There
is not a feature/function within Works' database to conditionally display
Record lines. However, ...

I used CONDITIONAL CONCATENATION together with spaces
to cause either a single line, containing the field 'Item' to print, or a
wrapped line with concatenated fields 'Item and 'Notes separated by
spaces to be printed. The spaces cause a line-feed, to place 'Notes on
a separate line, as required.

A new field, 'Item_Notes' was used to store the concatenation of fields
'Item and 'Notes, using this formula:
=Item&IF(Notes>"",REPEAT(" ",128-LENGTH(Item))&Notes,"")

Two Record lines, the second containing the field 'Notes, were replaced
with one line; the second line was deleted and the first line's entry with
field 'Item' was replaced by the new concatented result field 'Item_Notes'.

This field was formatted, in List view, to wrap-text and sized so that its
width displayed Notes on the second line.

In the Report, the column was also set to wrap text, its field width adjusted
to cause wrap text and further Formatted to Row Height of Best Fit.

Hopefully, I will soon place a sample on my website, for those interested in
seeing this in action.

record limits?

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 10:47 AM PDT

Works and Excel are siblings,
just copy and paste suits us.

MSWorks will happily work with 30,000 records
until such time you employ fields with resident formula,
the Database then becomes very quickly impotent
and you will spend time waiting for it to compute.

You will have to work with the matrix you build
but for just sorting and filtering pure data the speed remains blinding.

We copy and paste 20,000 records to excel at a time, and paste as
"text only" excel then deals with the filtering and sorting with speed.

The more you become accustomed to excel, you probably will migrate there
full time, it's the "Big Daddy"

Creating separate databases as you suggest is OK, we refer to it as
"segmenting" sub sets.
If you get to 30,000 customers, no doubt you will employ your own
IT professional :)

HTH

How to install upgrade version of Office 97 if original product n.

You can't. The stipulation of the upgrade licence is that, once you use a

product you used to qualify, then the upgrade licence is rendered null and

And of course it won't recognise Works 8 - you think MS had a time machine
when they wrote Office 97?! You cannot use a newer product as a QP for an
older one - that's just common sense!

That's a stipulation of the EULA.

And I think you meant "qualifying product" ;o)

How can determine version of Office

Posted: 17 Nov 2004 01:35 PM PST

Hi Milly,

Thanks for raising this question.

I found two KB article to describe the version of Outlook 2003. You can
refer one of them by the links below:

Description of Office 2003 Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=842532

This article shows that 6353 is the correct version number for the
Outlook.EXE file under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11.

6360 is also a correct number but it is for Outlook product. You can find
it in Outlook 2003 °Help"-> °About Microsoft Office Outlook.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hope this helps!

| | Hi Harrison,
| |
| | Thank you for posting.
| |
| | My understanding on this issue is: You hope to find out some

| | so that you can verify whether they are deployed SP1. If I'm off
| | base, please feel free to let me know.
| |
| | Since you have a program to audit your particular files, these files

| |
| | To determine whether the service pack is installed, the service pack
| | contains updated versions of following files:
| |
| | File name Version
| | --------------------------
| | Excel.exe 11.0.6355.0
| | Frontpg.exe 11.0.6356.0
| | Infopath.exe 11.0.6357.0

| | Mspub.exe 11.0.6255.0
| |
| | These file are located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11.
| | You can follow these steps to verify whether the service pack is
| | installed.
| |
| | 1. Find these files listed above under C:\Program Files\Microsoft
| | Office\OFFICE11
| | 2. Right click all files alone and then click "Properties"
| | 3. Click "Version" tab.
| | 4. Under it, you can see the File version
| | 5. Compare these files versions by referring the list above
| |
| | If they are same, SP1 has been installed.

Can't deploy Office 2003 SP1 with a GPO

Posted: 16 Nov 2004 08:43 PM PST

Hi Eots,

If the Office Admin Point is at the Office 2003 SP1
level and you deploy/install from that Admin Point
there really isn't a way for the install to not be
SP1.

Can you explain how you created the Admin point and
how you then updated it to SP1 plus how you then
deployed or redeployed/recached the client install
from that Admin point?

If you setup a client manually from that admin point
do you get the same results?

What update process have you selected from those
in the Office resource Kit (http://microsoft.com/office/ork )

========

The MST file was a separate issue from SP1. I found out how to deploy the
settings from the MST file in the Group Policy, but I still haven't found a
solution for deploying SP1 as part of an initial installation. Some users
have already been deployed Office 2003 (no service pack) and after I patched
the installation point with SP1 it caused problems for the people who had
previously been installed from the unpatched installation point.
