Find & Replace Long Blocks of Text (Microsoft Word)

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 01:41 PM PST

I understand that the "^c" tag, when placed in the "Replace" entry point in "Find & Replace" can replace whatever is copied into the Clipboard.  This is a great feature, however the same "^c" does not work when placed into the "Find" entry point.  Can this please be fixed, or has this limitation already been addressed?

 

I have many documents that have exceeding long and repetitive, multi-line text in them which lengthens the document by over 50%.  I really want to use Find & Replace to eliminate these strings.  I understand there is a macro out there which affords a Find & Replace providing the strings are stored in separate documents; however, I do not need to go to any strings longer than about 255 characters.

 

It appears Word 2010 is so close to being able to do this, all that is needed is to affect the "^c" tag to function in the "Find" entry point.  Is this the correct way to achieve my goal or is there another way?  I run into this situation almost daily, and a solution would be extremely helpful.  I'm sure there are others who would benefit from a multi-line Find & Replace capability.  What's up with that, Microsoft?  Please assist.

 

P.S. Clarification:  Typically, I would be replacing a long block of text from the clipboard with "' "(nothing", NOT replacing one long block with another.  I hope this helps.

Creating brackets in WORD

Microsoft Word 2013 version

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 12:59 PM PST

This screen comes up when I try to open Word programs that says: we are sorry, but Word has run into an error that's preventing it from working correctly.  Then is says: would you like to repair?  I click yes, then I quick repaired it, online repaired it and reported to Microsoft.  It still continues to give this message every time I attempt to open the program.  Also, running a diagnostic it says: incompatible.  This is weird that it is the 2013 version, Windows 8.1 and its been working for the last 6 months.  I also, uninstalled and re-installed.  While, Excel, Power Point and One note are fine.  I have the Office student and home.  How can I fix the issue? Thanks for your helpful feedback! 

Spell check not working Word 2013 (screenshot provided)

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 10:41 AM PST

How can I get spell check to check the part of my document that comes after a static text conversion? I am in the midst of typing a manuscript for professional publication. I have accumulated over 60 references. One day while working on the document I found that Word 2013 was no longer performing live spell check, and would also not catch any spelling errors if I ran a manual spell check. Spell check worked fine for the beginning of my document, but after a certain point, it stopped working. After some investigation I traced it back to THE FOLLOWING STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1) Open new word document.
2) Create a new source by clicking "references" on the ribbon and then "manage sources"
3) name the source test for simplicity and pick a random date.
4) click "insert citation" and place it into the document.
5) convert the inserted reference to static text by clicking the citation, then clicking the dropdown arrow for "citation options." Under these options click "convert citation to static text."
6)Upon completion, you can be assured that Word 2013 will no longer spell check for the REST OF THE DOCUMENT.

How is this desirable? I spent an hour on the phone with Office Support and they said that the only way to avoid this was to not convert to static text (not an option), or insert citation, type a couple of words then go back and convert to static text (ok, but what if I forget to do this? is there a way to go back and tell word I want to spell check everything after the static text conversion? I am told by Office Support "no, it is too late at that point." Microsoft will not admit a flaw in the software. How is this desirable operation? I am also told "as a workaround" that I can select the entire document, copy, then paste into a notepad document, then open a new word document, paste it, change all formatting (as it will have reverted to default). Very quickly does one realize what a mess this can create when you have several pages written and over 60 sources cited. The manager by the name of "J" with Microsoft Office Support says these are my only options. How is this desirable operation?

Please refer to the screenshot below... You can see that everything after the static text conversion is not spell checked.

Word has detected a problem with the existing normal.dotm -- Does anyone know what to do about this?

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 09:38 AM PST

All of a sudden, when trying to open a word document I get the above response.  Then I am asked something to the effect of whether I want to create a new normal.dotm.

I tried clicking "yes" but this did not help.  Since the info in various online forms said to click "yes" I tried it several more times.  Now when I try to open Word it no longer asks me that; instead it asks whether I want to open word in "protected mode."

The only other thing I tried to do to fix the issue --- also based on a tip from an online forum --- was to delete all "normal.dotm" files.  That has not fixed the problem.

I noticed that most people writing about this issue use Word 2007 or earlier.  I use Word 2013.

Please: can anyone help with this issue?

Many Thanks,

Linking _to_ the Table of Contents _from_ section headings

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 09:30 AM PST

I have a document with a Table of Contents linked to about three dozen different section headings and I want to link the section headings back to the Table of Contents, so that whenever the reader is done reading a section they can click the heading to go back to the TOC.

 

I've searched online but all I can find is help for creating TOCs, which is not what I need.  All the section headings are in the Heading 1 style but I can't find a way to modify the style to include the hyperlink.  Selecting all the instances of Heading 1 greys out the Ribbon button for hyperlinks so I can't do that either.

 

I'm thinking there simply has to be an easy way to do this for all the headings at once.  If it matters any the headings are also all Level 1 in Outline view.

Word 2013 limits

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 05:34 AM PST

I'm very new to Word, have been working in WordPerfect 6 recently, and I'm trying to format a digital book for Amazon (Kindle).  The Word Tabs and Ribbons are very different than in WP.  I'm having troubles finding things.  I must apologize for the length of this question, but I'm in a bind.

 

Is there a way to change the character, or color, of the flashing cursor in Word?  That skinny, black thing is often very hard to locate.

 

Another problem I have is with definitions.  For instance, what is a Section?  What is it for?  The Help entries simply tell what to do without telling why.  For a new guy, this is not as helpful as it might be.  Is there somewhere which defines stuff?

 

A very strange conversion (from WP to Word) item is that my Bibliography numbering was changed to Roman Numerals, of all things.  How can I change that?  In my Bibliography, I right-click on a number and try to reset Numbering Values, but there are no choices other than Roman Numerals. 

 

Another very serious problem is with the footnotes.  The conversion took my 200+ footnotes and broke them into sections.  The first 44 footnotes seemed to keep my WP formatting (superscript number and indented entry), but the rest have been changed (no superscript and no indents).  Also the numbering of the rest has been broken into groups, starting again at 1 several times, sometimes as often as incrementing only 4 to 5 numbers before recycling to 1. 

 

I though this might have something to do with those mysterious Sections, so I removed all the coded references to Sections (confirmed by Searching for the Special Character for sections) and tried to renumber the footnotes Continuously throughout the document, but it doesn't work!  Is there something there which is preventing this, or is this an unresolved glitch? 

 

And how does one reformat footnotes?  Apparently, one can only place and delete footnotes.

 

Another very serious glitch is with my Images.  Several problems occur here, some related to the no-undo-button issue.  After several attempts at Inserting images and adding Captions, I now have unfilled captions which I cannot delete placed within the text in places I never placed them.  I set page-breaks to help me Insert accurately and to size them consistently and add captions, then tried to delete the page breaks to keep the smallish images scrolling neatly, and they overlap, lose their associated captions and don't stay at the Positions I set.  And, of course, I can't undo the page-break deletions.  There has got to be a better way.  Can anyone help?

 

I have many other problems, but I attribute them to my unfamiliarity with Word so I won't list them all.

Document title problem

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 03:06 AM PST

Word 2007. I like to have the document filename in the footer of each document so I can easily find it on my computer. I also like to have the name of the document in the header of each succeeding page. I have set up Normal.doc as follows: The Title field at the top of the document and in the header of succeeding pages; the FileName field in the footer. Then when I save, Word inserts the value in Title into the document name. This has been working well for some time but I've had to reconfigure a new Normal.dot to resolve a problem I was having with Normal.dot. Now however, when I save a document, Word inserts Title into the filename as it should, but then it clears it from the document. I have to retype the name into Title. What can be causing Word to clear Title?

Recently Opened items fail to open from taskbar, Office 2013 applications only.

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 08:26 PM PST

I'm running Windows 8.1 on a new computer, into which I have restored all my documents from my dead Windows 7 computer.


After working properly for a few days, now there is a failure to recognize recently opened files in the taskbar list, for MS Word 2013, or any other MS Office 2013 application in the taskbar.


Upon clicking a recently opened filename above a MSOffice2013 item in my taskbar, I consistenly receive the message, "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"  The Office application itself does not open, after this message.


If I open the office application first (from the taskbar is okay), I can click on anything in >its< list of recently opened files, and the file opens properly.


-------

When I try to open a recently opened file from the taskbar icon for a NON-Microsoft Office application (Corel WordPerfect, for example) the file opens properly.

This is assuming it a retail version. If it an oem with the same

How do I activate my spanish speller in word???

Posted: 07 Nov 2005 10:05 AM PST

Hi Claudiogat,

If you're using an English language edition of MS Office it
comes with English, French and Spanish proofing tools, but
only English is installed by default.

From Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel choose
the Microsoft Office/Word choice and change the feature set
to have the Spanish proofing (spell & grammar) set to
'run from my computer'.

Once the proofing tools are installed be sure that the
selected text you wish to check has been set to Spanish
from Tools=>Language in Word.

How correct Office Pr2003 install error 1402, prevent rollback?

Posted: 03 Nov 2005 01:49 PM PST

Thanks! You are right about the relevance of office 2000. Since I am
upgrading to 2003 from it, I get to have the same problems as if that were
what I was installoing it I don't haveregscan because I use XP. And I am the
sole user-administrator.

Meanwhile, this ended up causing me tyo do a full system restore, and the
partitiond were gone so it wiped both C and D. I haven't gotten back to the
level where I'm installing Office yet. I think I'll try to take advantage of
the fact that Office 2000 is gone and go straight to 2003, if it will let me.
I think maybe I can prove my eligability by inserting the Office 2000 CD when
asked, instead of actually installing it to upgrade it.

If not, the best advice I've found is to reset the permissions in regedit
(rather than mess with Keys), so I'll try that.

The OP clearly states, "I previously had this set up on my

attempting to install this program on (Although I won't need it
on my "old" desktop once I install it on my "new" desktop)." If
you don't count the old desktop, then the OP will have the
software installed on one laptop and one new desktop, which is
twice as many computers as the EULA allows. Your suggestion was
to, "Explain to them that you have discarded the old
desktop and that you will only use this new one", which to me is
encouraging the OP to lie to Microsoft about not having the
software also installed on a laptop.

I always recompile my own kernels. Then I don't even have to worry about
modules or building initrds. The kernel is customized to my set of devices
though I do include all the devices for all my machines in each kernel so
I only need to manage one image which could be used on any machine.

If you need special device drivers just to access your hard drive, this can
be a problem. This is one reason why I always use an IDE disk, or a very
common SCSI controller, for the system, and leave more complex stuff like a
huge RAID array to purely the database by itself (the only cases where I
would have such a thing).

Minimum hardware spec for various Linux installations?

Posted: 16 Apr 2005 10:42 AM PDT


Cuzman (com) writes: 

All distributions pull from the same pool of the kernel, utilities
and applications. They differ in philosopy and what is tossed
into the distribution. They are more alike than different.

One difference is the installation process, which may appear
to be the biggest step for the newcomer but which is a relatively
small thing compared to actually using the operating system.

And the actually installer that a distribution uses is the defining
point on what hardware it will work with. Some installers are very
bloated, so you need a massive system to do the installation. Others
use a simpler installer, and they demand much less resource to install.

But the requirements for the installer have nothing to do with the
use of that distribution. Given the same version of the actual kernel
or the applications, either they will run fine on a given speed CPU and
given ram, or not. The specific distribution has nothing to do with this.

Hence, you will see "requirements" for a distribution, and then see fine
print telling you it will actually run in a much lesser system. But you
can't install unless you have the bloated system.

In some cases, they include a non-GUI installer so you don't need a large
system to install.

Installation aside, the hardware will affect how the applications run.
But since the distributions try to compete with each other without having
much different about them, few will go to the radical step of removing
applications. So you will have a fine selection of what to use; if
this GUI is too slow, then you can switch to one of the other GUIs
that come with the distribution. If the CPU is too slow (and I'd
not call that CPU slow), then you can always switch to text based
applications rather than GUI based. But switching to another
distribution will not fix this problem, since they will be using
the same applications.

Then there is no sshd server running on the target, or it is firewalled

I would imagine the latter. So open its firewall for you (i.e. your IP
address). Heck, open it anyway. Port 22 is meant to be accessed. That's
what it is for. DOn't leave any open passwords, and that's that.

 

Then you mean "I was not then capable", not "I cannot".

 

Then open your firewall or run sshd there. End. You can ping it fine,
so there is nothing wrong with your network setup, which dhcp is meant
to configure, and evidently has configured, satisfactorily.

smartctl's "Non-medium error count" (SCSI drives)

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 06:05 PM PDT

Now that's interesting. I tried copying one of the affected files from the
drive, which died with an I/O error - suggesting that the block couldn't
be read at all. Yet smartctl output is only showing non-medium events and
nothing under read/write events...

That suggests cabling to me, but it's funny how the other drive on the bus
has been fine (I'm well used to SCSI so I've seen some pretty odd things
happen though!). Maybe there's a problem at the drive connector to that
specific drive - I'll have a look.

Oddly enough, an hour after I posted, the problem had gone away again,
which is rather spooky. Nothing on the system was scheduled to kick in
around the time of the problems, nor were any big inductive loads nearby
active (!) or anything like that. I hate random glitches :-(
 

Will do - thanks. I'll probably copy all the data off the drive, wipe it
and do a destructive test/rebuild of the filesystem just to see if
that throws up any bad blocks. I'll double-check cabling first though
:-)

mdadm -A (1.7.0) segfaults; md raid device not started on boot

I didn't post after "Mounted root" because there's no further mention of
md. The entire dmesg output is below, for completeness.

How does the kernel know to load the raid module when I invoke mdadm,
but isn't able to do this in the boot process? I'd like to be able to
get this working *without* having to recompile the kernel, if it's
possible. The root filesystem is ext3 on a normal hd device, and it's
already mounted by the time we want to start up the raid device, so in
my mind we should be able to load the raid1 module at this stage.

Would it be easier to add raid1 to initrd, or to just recompile the kernel?

Thanks,
Alistair.

As long as the second machine is configured to forward to the
exchange machine, they can have the same priority and you'd get some
load balancing.

Better yet, pull the exchange box behind your firewall and let one or
more postfix (for example) machines front-end it; that way you can drop
most of your spam & garbage before it gets to exchange, plus you're not
hanging an MS 'hack me please' Exchange target directly out there. I
use a setup like this, with postfix + amavisd, and it cuts down a *LOT*
of traffic from ever getting to the exchange box.

The real crunch is going to come in if you really expect the Linux
host to be able to take over in case the exchange machine melts down. I
am not personally familiar with any open source exchange replacement
that can do this transparently (which is not to say there isn't one.) I
suppose the long hard ugly way would be to duplicate all your user
accounts on a Linux host with IMAP or POP or some such configured, and
then have all the users reconfigure their mail clients in case of
emergency. *YUK!*

Assuming you use Active Directory, a slightly less painful
alternative might be to set up a machine with winbind. You would still
have the mail client reconfig to contend with, but at least you wouldn't
have to futz with accounts and passwords...

If that all seems too complicated, there's another wonderful disaster
recovery technology you might want to look into, called 'backup
tapes'... *grin, wink!* :-)

Barry,

Have you looked at PostCallout?

Basically, you can register a COM dll that will respond to a Post

Customizing Activities Views?

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 07:30 AM PDT

this problem also occurs on the Home screen ie you can have many activities
listed but no way of working out which actvity matches to which opportunity.
In this case it would be possible to create your own custom home screen
which lists more data. Of course this needs customization and or waiting to
the next version

Contacts with Outlook client

Posted: 30 Jul 2004 04:52 AM PDT

You can use security roles to control the data your users see. YOu can set
it so they see only data they own or data owned by users in their CRM
business unit. Note that the security model is built around business units
so it helps if you have split your users between multiple business units.
Note that while you can say only show data I own etc...this gets more
complciated if you want a user to see contacts attached to an account for
example. I recommend you read the Implementation Guide on security then feel
free to ask more questions here.

Note when you make any security role changes it has to read every record in
CRM so can place a large load on your servers.

I am sure that the CrystalAPS service never start,
SQL Server is running.

I have a CRM 1.2 on Windows 2003 Server and this server is

running - also check your SQL services - a failure on of
these can lead to a failure on APS. Also check your event
