| Word Font Dialog cannot make changes to doc Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:19 PM PDT The Font dialog has an advanced tab that allows you to select OpenType features. The dialog's preview shows the correct text for selected feature. However, the selections do not get set in the document.
See this page:
http://ahangama.com/liga/
You can download the OpenType font that is tested here:
http://ahangama.com/liga/samagana.ttf
Note that Excel has no problem showing the ligatures even without any special setting. All other major browsers, AbiWord, Gnumeric and Linux and Mac OSs and even Windows Notepad have no problem properly displaying this font.
I think I have given all the pointers. Now it is your task to do justice to your customers. I have been a reseller of MS products since before Windows 95 when we had direct phone contact and solutions were done enthusiastically.
The applications with the problem: IE9, IE10, MS Word 2007, MS Word 2010.
Thanks.

| Word 2007 saves as word document that tries to open in photo viewer Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:10 PM PDT All documents saved in Word 2007 save automatically as word document. They try to open in photo viewer but cannot. I have to select "open with Microsoft Word." Now when I save, I select from the drop down menu each time I want to save the only selection for Word available-- Word 97-2003. Why can't Word 2007 save documents as a Word 2007 doc? The software was registered and activated. This problem showed up some time this past year. |
| How to call a subproc in a module in another template Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:07 PM PDT I tried the following using the syntax:
Application.Run "'<template.dotm>'!<module>.<subproc>"
where "McKellar.dotm" is the template
SwitchLogo is the module
SwitchLogoGuelph is the subprocedure (macro)
e.g.
Application.Run "'McKellar.dotm'!SwitchLogoGuelph.Main"
and that did indeed work but then I noticed in forums that others talked about adding a reference in the *calling* template to the *called* template so that the syntax is simpler.
I tried that and the editor then loaded all the macros in the referred (linked) template but this call did not work:
Call SwitchLogo.SwitchLogoGuelph.main
Is there a way to get the 2nd way working? and is there a "best" way if both work?
Thanks,
Albert

| How do I fix indenting in a single level list? Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT I am trying to create a simple list from 1 to 12.
When I type "1.", Word automatically creates a numbered list. The only problem is that it is indenting the list to 4 inches across the page. I don't want it to be indented that far. I am looking for it to be about .5 under the line above it.
I have gone into the settings as best i could for formatting bullets and numbering, but there is no option for me to change the indent reflected there. Am I missing something?
I have searched around for an answer to this problem. I am trying not to use any other style besides normal - i even changed the setting in the advanced options to reflect this.
Is it possible that using copied text from word documents created with 2003 or older could have messed with the formatting settings?

| column breaks Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:25 AM PDT I am starting a new chapter. I want the title of the chapter to be one column wide. I want the text to be two columns wide. When I select the text, and change it to two columns, it moves to the next page. The break says "continuous", it does not say "next page". I've tried this repeatedly and the same thing always happens.
So on the first page I have the title only (with a continuous break), with a lot of blank space underneath (for the rest of the page). The columns of text appear on the second page. I want the text on the same page as the chapter title.
Can you please help me. Thank you.

| mailmerge multiple rows to 1 recipient Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:46 AM PDT Hi all, I'm looking for some assistance. I have Word 2010, Outlook 2010, and Excel 2010. I have a table in Excel with 500+ rows of data. Each row has a recipient email address. Some rows have the same recipient email address. I need to create a mailmerge document that combines multiple rows of data to one recipient to end out as an email. Utliizing the Directory option in the mailmerge toolbar, I've succeeded in doing this in creating a mailmerge physical document that has multiple rows of data per recipient (that takes 500 pages down to 210), however the physical form does me no good. I'm in an office that doesn't allow for downloading and installing of any plugins, which leaves me to vba (of which my skills in that area is limited). I've found and used the tutorial that macropod generated, however I am having issues with the macros to generate the emails...they error out. Please help; been stuck on this for a couple of weeks now, trying my hand at it as often as time allows. Thank you all in advance. Sincerely, Dusty615 |

| Create Hover Popup for Words in Document Terms Glossary Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:07 AM PDT In our department our Word docx documents tend to have a glossary table near the beginning that have two columns. The left column has a term or abbreviation and the right column has a definition. Is there some way to set it up so that when someone is reading the document and they hover words in the document that are in the glossary, that a pop-up, tool tip kind of thing will display the definition? I understand that having the document automatically recognize words outside the table as words inside the table is probably asking a bit much. But if I could apply a style, or a cross reference of some sort, that should be pretty good. It would be good if the defined words had some visual queue that they had pop up definitions. If some sort of VBA would be needed, it would need to be something that could be hidden in a template and used by people that have no clue about VBA. Our office uses a mix of Office 2007 and 2010. |
| graphics and text on same page - can't copy all and paste Posted: 20 Aug 2013 09:56 AM PDT I do alot of flyers for our local volunteer organizations. Using word 2003, I could group all the text boxes together, then select all and then copy and paste to my email server. Now using word 2007 I can't "select all" to copy so now the graphics are not pasting into my email. I do not want to do an attachment, since most of those I email prefer the flyer in the actual email. I tried using the graphics as is or inside a text box. Same with the text, inside a text or outside. I have to use the graphics since many are the logos or letterhead of the group So question is how can I get the complete flyer with graphics and text as a whole document to be pasted into an email. |

| Arabic Numerals in Word 2013 Mailings field Posted: 20 Aug 2013 08:36 AM PDT I am using Word 2013 Mailings to print out lists. I create the lists in excel and insert them in word via Mailings. The fields in excel contain numbers which I want to be displayed in Arabic numerals, like the rest of the text. But no matter what I do, it's always displayed in English numerals. I can directly type in Arabic numbers and all, the issue arises when I use Mailings.
Any help is highly appreciated. |

| office version Posted: 20 Aug 2013 07:01 AM PDT Hi guys I have ASUS notebook S400CA, windows 8 (64 bits). just bought it recently (10 days ago) and I installed office 2013 Home & student, directly download from Microsoft, it was working with me fine but today it hanged up little bit as I use it with other software's like EndNote x7, so I opened the task manager and wanted to close it from there. in the task manager, under word, it was mentioned ( Microsoft word (32 bits) ), which made me to wonder if I downloaded the wrong version or is it one version but working for both (32, 64). I wanted to contact support via email but I couldn't find proper channel to contact, so I thought to ask for the experts advice and if there any link or email I can contact them, please provide me with. thanks |

| Adding different headers and footers in Microsoft word Posted: 20 Aug 2013 04:00 AM PDT Good day
Is it possible to have different headers and footers for a landscape and portrait page in one document, thus when you add a landscape page it needs to automatically use the landscape header and footer? We've looked into section breaks, but then one needs to add a new header manually…
Or is there another way to set up a document to make it issue to switch between headers and footers for different pages? |
| pasting into Word 10 changes destination-document formatting Posted: 20 Aug 2013 03:54 AM PDT Hello,
I am working in Word 10, using in the same document both English as my "Latin text" (Left to Right, formatted Times New Roman, 11 pt. unbold) and Arabic as my "complex script" (Right to Left, formatted Times New Roman, 14 pt. bold). These are the default settings I have chosen for these languages, through the Font dialog box. The problem occurs whenever I paste anything from another document into any document using both English and Arabic. What happens is that when I paste anything, all the bolded Arabic characters throughout the destination document (where I am pasting to) change from bolded to unbolded. The options in the paste dialog box (match destination formatting, paste only words, not formatting, etc.) are useless in this regard -- since they affect only what is being pasted. And if I undo the paste, I am still stuck with all the Arabic in the document now unbolded, even though if I open the Font dialog box in the document, it still shows that complex scripts should be bold by default. There is now way to "undo" to return to my bolded formatting. I must redo it all by hand, every time.
This seems to be some kind of funky glitch. Has anyone else experienced something similar by chance? Is there a solution? Can it be worked around, so that I can paste things into a document without affecting the formatting of part of the destination document? (This is the only change that occurs--all the Arabic in the destination document switches irreversibly to unbolded...).
Any and all helpful advice would be appreciated!

| What is default line spacing and spacing after inside a Word 2010 and a Word 2013 table? Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:01 PM PDT As far as I know, these are the defaults
Word 2010 and 2013 both have these settings for a table that appears alone on a page: Spacing Before, 0; Spacing After, 0; single line spacing
But sometimes, it seems a Word 2010 table within a document uses Spacing Before, 0; Spacing After, 8; multiple line spacing at 1.08 when it is in the middle of a document. Any explanations? I know in other versions of Word, font size inside tables could be erratic. Thanks in advance. |
