Word 2013 frequent crashed in Win 7 Pro

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 02:48 PM PDT

Please help!  I have a paper due and I cannot figure this out.  I have read several forum articles, so please read the whole post as I have tried many different potential fixes.

OK, so last night Word 2013 started crashing frequently.  Originally, the problem seemed isolated to the command for pasting a chart linked from Excel, but now I'm getting frequent crashes when I do various things like saving or even opening documents.

The details of the error are:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: WINWORD.EXE
  Application Version: 15.0.4517.1003
  Application Timestamp: 51a7523e
  Fault Module Name: oart.dll
  Fault Module Version: 15.0.4517.1003
  Fault Module Timestamp: 51a750cd
  Exception Code: c0000005
  Exception Offset: 00000000005b75f8
  OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
  Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
  LCID: 1033
  skulcid: 1033

As I mentioned above, I have read through many of the responses to similar questions, but none of them have worked or they have been for different versions of Word or different operating systems.  If you post a response please check to make sure that you are posting something that is applicable to Word 2013 and Windows 7 Pro OR please let me know what I need to do that's different from the instructions that you provide.

I went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Office and ran a repair and restarted the computer.  Didn't work.

I have tried to start Word in safe mode.  However, the problem can be recreated even in safe mode.

Even though these instructions are for Word 2010, I tried to follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541.  The only change that I remember is that I had to change some instructions to version 15.0 (Word 2013) rather than 14.0 (Word 2010).  The results of the steps are as follows:

Deleting Word Data registry subkey - No change.  Problem continues.
Deleting Word Options registry subkey - No change.
Rename Normal.dotm - No change.  Note that when I tried to rename the file back to the original name (Normal.dotm) I got an error that the file already existed (because it was recreated by Word when I tested the fix).  You actually have to go into the folder itself and delete the new file and then revert the old name back.
Disable Startup folder add-ins - Running the command that the KB says to opens and empty folder, so this fix was not applicable.
Delete the COM add-ins registry keys - did not fix the problem.

I have tried with success to recreate the problem in other word documents, so I don't think that this is a single corrupted document.

Change Word 2010 Avery Label template margins on Windows 8 computer

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 01:49 PM PDT

My Windows 8 computer came preloaded with Word 2010.  When I try to use the Avery 5160 label template, I have to space down at least one line and use the space bar to indent at least 3 spaces over for my text to fit within the template.  (On the Windows 7, the text spacing was exactly spot on.)   I have tried changing the margins within the labels, but they don't "hold", I have to do each label individually and it's a big pain!  Windows 8 has me crying, "Uncle!" once again.  I'm hoping someone out there will have a solution.  Thanks!

Mail Merge and Document Properties

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:37 PM PDT

Each record of my mail merge data contains the Document Property "Title". My merge template file contains the <<Title>> merge field in the footer. This works great when I do a Letter merge. But how do I merge the Title field into a Directory merge with multiple records on the same page? The Title value will always be the same for every record but how do I get it to populate the Title in the Footer of the merged document?

Thanks!

Is there any way to control the font size of a Mail Merge field by using the value of another Mail Merge field?

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:34 PM PDT

I'm setting up a system to store mail merge data in a SQL Server database.  The data is to be used to populate Word 2010 mail merge documents.  
The problem is that we will be creating many copies of these documents in multiple languages and alphabets against a graphic background, in fields that need to be of fixed size.   As we all know, some languages require more space than others.  Individually tweaking the font size would not be especially cost effective.

Is there any way to control the font size of a mail merge field by using the value of another mail merge field?  

(This is strictly a mail merge set up.  We are not using VBA on the Word side.)

TimesNewRoman Font

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:28 PM PDT

I'm having an issue in Microsoft Word 2010, where the font seems to spontaneously change from "Times New Roman" to "TimesNewRoman" (no spaces).  The font without spaces doesn't appear in the font list.  If I open up the font window it says "This font has not been installed.  The closest available font will be printed".  On the screen the font sometimes looks normal or like a courier new or arial font.  Does anyone know what causes this or how to prevent it from happening?  

How to disable Trust Center Message Bar (Office 2010 Professional +)

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:16 PM PDT

I work for an IT service desk at a university, and we have AD domain accounts for almost all users.  Because of this, settings made on one user generally don't roll over to every user. 

I need a way to disable the message bar in Office 2010 that will work for all users, not just a single user.  This message bar is popping up in Word whenever our users open a document from the network, but these particular users are children.  Children need as few distractions as possible, and it is an extra step for them that I'd rather them not have to do.

Time and Date options in "Developer" tab.

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 11:33 AM PDT

I've created a template and want the user to record the time and date when the form was completed.  I've put the calendar item from the "Developer" tab in my form and selected the display option that records the current time as well as the date.  The time reads "12:00 AM" and I don't know how to correct that.  The time on my computer is accurate. Any ideas?

"I am using microsoft word 2010 and need to know how to eliminate the extra spacing between my words."

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 10:27 AM PDT

Here is what I'm talking about:

Customer care representative and engineering tech within high-volume environments including clerical administration, call center/online support, retail sales, and production specialist. Eight years of supervisory positions. Seven years as an auditor in financial sales of three dozen retail stores. Execute high quality standards in administrative office work, written and verbal skills, customer care/communications and relationship building. One year as an engineering tech in research and development of silicon growth (HiCz) processes. Thirteen years of experience in the HiCz production.


See how in the first sentence the spacing between words is doubled, but the rest of the paragraph is fine. Why is that and how do I fix that?

Thanks, Tonia

Okay I don't get it....... when I first copied and pasted my paragraph it showed the double spacing that I am talking about, but when I posted the question it changed it. What's up with that? So I will try and type a sentence to show you what I mean.

I  need  help  on  removing  double  spaces  between  my  words.  It  doesn't  always  affect  the  whole  sentence  or  paragraph.  Also  back  space  doesn't  work.

Do you see what I mean? 

Excel object in Word 2010 keeps stretching when trying to edit.

Old vb code vs new code

I am reworking an older Word 2003 form template w_protection and bringing it into Sys7 and Office 2010.  Code is running (not running) to insert text into a cell depending on the response from a dropdown.  Am getting a "Compile error" Invalid outside procedure" and (wdActiveEndSectionNumber) in the code is highlighted.  I don't know what/how to fix it at this point.  This appears also in another line of the code.  What in 2010 has replaced this bit of code please?

Problem exporting Arabic language text to PDFs from Word

Posted: 26 Aug 2013 08:18 AM PDT

We're running Office 2010 in Windows 7.  I have a deskPdf print driver installed.  

If the document to be exported to PDF has Arabic text, it shows up in the PDF as little squares, but apparently only if I export it from a document that has been mail merged.  Exports directly from a Word doc where foreign alphabet text has been pasted directly in export to PDF correctly, either when I do a Save As or a deskPDF print.

I have no experience exporting foreign languages to PDF (and I've had no time yet to try other alphabets.)

How do I begin troubleshooting this problem?

How can I make Word's spell checker accept Latin phrases without adding bad English words?

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 08:17 PM PDT

I'm a law student and work at a legal organization. Phrases like mens rea are pretty common in my writing and I don't want to waste my time telling Word to ignore those words. However, neither "mens" nor "rea" are acceptably spelled English words. How can I make Word realize that a phrase is a legitimate thing without poking holes in spell-check's already pretty permeable typo and misspelling firewall?

Creating multi-file documents?

Posted: 25 Aug 2013 04:31 PM PDT

I remember Word 2000 (yes, I am that old) had a facility for creating documents spread over several files.  I could use that facility at the moment (I am using MSW07) as I have a document that is becoming unwieldy in the monolithic state.  Trouble is, I can't remember what the process was called so I don't know what to search for.

 

What was it called?

Does it exist in MSW07?

If you happen to know off-hand, where can I find a tutorial on it?

 

Thanks

How do I register Word for Office xp when the wizard won't work?

Posted: 24 Jan 2005 07:35 AM PST

I discovered the problem. I have a IE browser hijacker which I cannot
completely get rid of. I have both the Lavasoft Ad Aware and Spybot Search
and Destroy software. I ran the software, and was able to use the wizard in
office. Evidently the wizard uses IE to connect to the internet. In the
meantime, I have tried to get rid of the browser hijacker permanently and
cannot (everytime I reboot the computer the virus is restored, despite the
fact that I do not have the "restore settings" selected). Since this is a
security problem, I called the Microsoft security phone line but (after an
hour and a half) were not able to help me . I guess the only fixes the
support person knew about were the two programs I already mentioned and he
did not understand why they did not remove the registries for good. He has
said someone will contact me in three to four days. I have been using
Mozilla since the browser hijacker first appeared and I guess I will simply
have to run the two anti-spyware programs everytime I reboot if I don't want
it to affect other Microsoft programs may automatically call up IE. It is
quite frustrating. If you can point me to further fixes on this issue, I'd
appreciate it. In any case, I am grateful for you quick response to my
initial inquiry. Thank you very much!

Here is the suggested fix for the "Patch Package" error:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;295823

Did you try any of the suggestions in this article?


If you want to revert to Office 2000, you may need to run the Windows
Installer Cleanup Utility to un-confuse Office about which version is
installed.

290301 - Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301&Product=offxp

Have it remove all references to Office 2003. Having it remove all Office
2000 references might not be a bad idea, either. Then re-install whichever
version of Office you wish to use going forward.

Hi Fbartrom,

According to your description, I know that you want to turn off the reading
pane in the Junk E-Mail folder.

As Sue suggested, there is no such a built-in feature which can accomplish
your goal in Outlook 2003.

In the meantime, you may check if it is possible to use macros to
accomplish your goal. For assistance on the development, I would like to
suggest you submit the question in developer newsgroups, as they are best
suited to helping you with development issues.

Why NO PowerPoint on my Office XP Small Business?

MS Office 2003 is the first edition of

Powerpoint is on all my other computers, old Office comes with Powerpoint! I

old laptop & new Toshiba in order to do presentation. Can't go back & forth
because new Toshiba does not have floppy drive & old Toshiba doesn't have USB

Still no one gives me answer: IS MY OFFICE CD failing to install

How can i disable all first run dialogs on a new o2k3 pro installa

Posted: 17 Jan 2005 02:59 AM PST

Hi Bob

As a note for the comment below is that we use Faronics DeepFreeze Pro to
"freeze" the state of the computer when we restore the computers with a self
programmed restore facility.

.....
I am aware of the roaming user profile method, but..... the problem as i see
it is that is there is not consistency in the products on the different pc's
on our site. As an example we're having approx 30 pc' in each room all adding
up to 1700 all in all. approx 450 of them is installed with WinXP (DK) Sp1
with O2k3 Pro (DK). 200 is on SP2 and is using Office XP (DK) and approx 100
is WinXP sp1 (UK) with o2k3 Pro (UK) and the rest is mixed Win98se (
office97) and winxp sp1 (dk-uk language) with office 2000 Premium.
It seems that the products are too different for the roaming profile to work
properly, Language settings and earlier office editions become corrupt
(displaying various errors) when activating roaming profiles.

I have solved the problems up till now by installing all programs ( not only
the office suite) and after opening all programs and setting up the options
in each program. Then i restart the computer and logon as local admin. After
that i'm currently copying the entire c:\documents and settings\<userid>
folder into c:\documents and settings\default user and then it all works for
all users including automatic outlook profile generation. then i have
uploaded an entire PC as a image to our server for restore.


My problem as described is that i would like to disable or hide the initial
dialogs when a user log's on to a computer. the reason for my request is that
i am currently migrating our "computer restore" facility to a multicast ghost
solution using AI packages. And the last package i need to build is the
office suite in different languages and versions. :-)

If you want to keep the RH installation you can boot from the RH cd/floppy
and repair LILO or GRUB whatever RH was using. ( I think RH has GRUB as
default )

The continous beep is an interesting clue. My guess is that it's
overheating and what you're hearing is the temperature alarm (either
from lm_sensors or from the BIOS itself). Check system temps and
ambient temp next time you have a lockup.

(FWIW, I saw similar symptoms once when a heatsink retention clip had
broken and the heatsink suddenly fell of the CPU. It had worked fine
for ages but died suddenly and wouldn't go more than a few minutes
without locking up. But that's understandable when the heatsink is
nowhere near the CPU!)

Substitute hdb1 for hda5, umask might as well be 0227, if you
don't have writing to ntfs compiled into the kernel the "ro" is
unnecessary. Make sure you add users that should have access to
group "disk" or the appropriate group.

If you don't want the partition to mounted by default on booting
add the "noauto" option.

I have Debian 3.0r2, writing to ntfs was still considered risky
and I'd assume you'd have to recompile the kernel to get write
access. I assume there is still no write access by default (the
last I'd checked, writing was still risky and running
chkdsk/scandisk was required after any any writes.)

man mount, and man fstab have lots of useful information.

RH AS V3

In comp.os.linux.setup Ana C. Dent <com>: 
 
 

Shouldn't be a problem, you might need to change the BIOS not to
halt on errors, to be able to boot headless. You should configure
your boot-loader to output anything to serial and connect the
system serial to some other box/terminal server/etc. Check the rh
docs how to go about it. A system that has a remote BIOS
redirection (LAN/serial) would be the best for running completely
headless, sadly not all x86 systems allow that, there are some
add on cards, which aren't really cheap.

How to set up a Linux machine that occupies the minimum memory footprint ?

Posted: 28 Nov 2004 04:46 AM PST

begin Jean-David Beyer dedi ki: 

Opteron motherboards too. Only, as I gather (I'm still a student on this),
Opterons additionally have Numa arrangement option to boost performance:
Each CPU concurrently accesses its own local memory in Numa, as opposed to
sharing a single bus serially in shared memory systems. And it's still
possible to use all the memory from within any CPU (via inter-CPU Hyper
Transport mechanism). For this to work, the OS should have CPU and memory
affinity, aka NUMA capable kernel (the doc above says only "memory
affinity" but it also takes CPU affinity if I'm not mistaken). Linux does
that. So, for a general purpose system Opteron/Numa makes a good deal.
Though it doesn't help the OP much, as he needs all the RAM from within a
single process.
 

I reckon this is due to the fact that the north bridge (MMU) is integrated
into amd-64 CPUs, which is a very good thing as it speeds up memory access
compared to the off-chip north bridge on AthlonXP and Xeons. So you need
the CPU in its place to access related memory. Nevertheless, considering
the price diff between an Itanium or Xeon-EM64T and an Opteron or
Athlon64, a dual Amd-64 setup could cost the same as a single Itanium.

You do not say how you partitioned the disk in the first place.

Wipe the disk.
place three partitions, each of size 5GB, which will be the / directories
of each ofthe three distros. Make the rest of the disk into one partition
which you can call /common
Into /common you will place home, and othr common stuff.
Then install each of the distros into their partition. Afterwards, do
mv /home /home.old
mkdir /common/home
ln -s /common/home /home
mv /home.old/* /common/home
