Word 2013 has locked access to all Word documents not created on my system

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 01:47 PM PST

For example, if someone emails me a word document (in any version), I cannot open it in any manner -- not by clicking in Outlook, not by saving and chosing open, not by opening via Word.  I have to save it, right click for properties and choose unblock.  Then, I can open it.  However this is a new thing since updates were installed a few days ago.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and "fixed" too many times to count.  Nothing is working. I tried setting the trust settings -- not working that way either.

Is there a global fix for this because I am about to uninstall office 2013 and go back to trusty 2007 because that actually works.  Thanks.

Index Fields and Increased Number of Pages

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 01:09 PM PST

Hello,

I am currently working on a 3,000 page document that I need one entire index for.  I found out how to build a concordance file and auto-mark all of the entries.  I noticed that the number of pages increases by a little bit when I "show hidden text" in the document.  I inserted the index using the RD fields and found that the page numbers for the marked words were wrong and it's because of the increased number of pages.  

This is really frustrating as I have a looming deadline to ensure that this index is perfect!!  I know that the concordance file isn't perfect, but I don't have a lot of time to hand mark each and every term necessary to build the index.  Nor do I have the time to check all the page numbers and fix those by hand. Does anyone know how to get the page numbers to match where the marked word is when the XE field is hidden?  

Word 2013 stops working trying to open docx formatted documents, but will open doc documents

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:57 PM PST

We have been using Office 2013 for some time without any problems and have quite a few documents in the new docx format.  We have a couple of PCs where Word 2013 "stops working" whenever we try to open a docx formatted document.  I can go to a PC where Word is not experiencing problems, open the offending docx document, save it as a doc formatted document, and the PC with problems can open it just fine.

 

I have tried the following:

  1. Ran officewordstartupdiagnostic.diagcab and followed the suggestions to disable all addins, reset the default printer, etc
  2. Repaired the installation
  3. Uninstalled/reinstalled Word
  4. Uninstalled/reinstalled Office

Nothing has worked.

My Microsoft Word format changed suddenly?

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:52 PM PST

All of a sudden, my format in Microsoft Word 2010 SP1 changed and now old files look different. As far as I can tell, this happened today after I opened a file by email. I opened it in google view first, if that makes a difference. I have it open right now in word. How do I change the format back in the old word files?

Word will not open.

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:29 PM PST

My Microsoft Word will not open/run.  It does not matter if I click on the shortcut or attempt to open an individual file; the program will not open/run period.  Nothing pops up to confirm that it is not working (i.e. no error messages, alert windows, etc).  I am a senior history major and I have several papers do within the next couple of weeks.  It would be great if I could actually write them from my laptop.  How do I resolve this issue?

Merge a word doc with rtf doc?

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 09:44 AM PST

Hello -

I'm trying to create a form where text from an .rtf doc (pulled from a database) can be inserted in a specific spot in a pre-existing word document.

 

I'd like it to be as automated and straightforward as possible (i.e. taking into account lowest-common denominator computer skills).  I'm not sure if merging the two are possible via mail-merge, or if it would be better to use a macro (either pre-written or through VBA).

 

If the latter, I would greatly appreciate guidance in coding as I've only just discovered macros and codes.

 

Thank you!

Microsoft Word Has Stopped working....

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 09:06 AM PST

I am using Windows 8 with Microsoft Home & Student 2013.  Yesterday, I was unable to use Word and got the following error: "Microsoft Word has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have been using the program since August, 2013 with no problems until yesterday. 
The program loads properly and looks fine until I click on an icon like "blank document", etc. then I get the error.

I saw a note on one forum where I should start Word in Save mode but have been unable to get that to work either.  It said to go to Start menu and type in winword/safe but its doesn't say WHERE to type it.  If I do it in the search block in charms menu it says it cannot find the file.

I'm lost and don't know what to do.  Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

thanks,

Read Only documents - Why is everything disabled?

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 08:28 AM PST

I'm new to Office 2010 and I've received a document from a colleague, but it buggers up the printer when I try to print it out.

 

Unfortunately the document has "Restricted Editing" permissions. That's fine.  I don't want to change anything in the document.

 

However, some idiot thought it would be a good idea to prevent people from seeing what the current document properties are, or from changing page size so they can print the wretched document out.

 

How can I print it out? I've no idea what the problem is because Word has too many secrets.

 

(It's simple in LibreOffice)

I cannot print labels in Word 2013

I tried to print labels in Word 2013. I click Mailings, then labels. All that happens is the rotating timer keeps rotating forever and I cannot exit the program. I have checked the training video and am doing things correctly.
The program seems to be faulty to me. Any Help appreciated.

Office 2010 Very slow Network openning

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 05:31 AM PST

This seams to be happening to a lot of people but so far none of there cases seam to help me much.

 

The network I manage is currently XP SP3 machines running with a Sever 2008. Yes, I know XP life is ending next year.

 

I installed Office 2010 to replace Office 2003 but it has created more and more problems then we had before.

When opening a file that is stored on the Server, it takes a good 30 seconds to a minute to open even the smallest file, it also takes time to save as it 'connects to network' to see the network path for saving to.

 

Now, Office has network as a trusted location. Files cannot be copied to the local computer to speed up opening, but they do open fast from local addresses. I have run a couple of network speed tests and the wired network speed is pretty good so that isn't a factor. Opening network folders in windows explorer isn't that slow and internet access is fine.

 

I've turns off fireworks and virus checkers and no luck. IE (though I can't quite see why) has been set to automatically detect Intranet. Any ideas of what might be creating this problem and had to solve it? It seams to apply to files created by the current office installation and ones not, as long as they are on the network.

 

Seams to apply to Excel and Word (the main two features used, but I had to pick a topic to be able to post this), I can't say about the others are we don't really use them.

Skydrive with Word is so unstable?

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:48 AM PST

The cloud integration of word 365 is very useful. I particularly like the function allowing multiple users to edit the same word file. But I am so annoyed by its instabiliy (Microsoft's habit, again, to make product instable and with flaw?) Almost all editors said they couldn't edit the file or even open the file, me included. I am so annoyed when the word gets stuck whenever I open the shared file. The file isn't that big to make the internet jammed. Can Microsoft solve this problem? Also, I would like Microsoft to adopt Google Docs' being able to synchronize different users' editing real time, which makes more sense and is more like a real collaboraiton.

Watermark is not shown fully

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:30 AM PST

I went to apply the diagonal template draft watermark on MS Word 2010 and the text covers the watermark so it is not possible to read, as shown below. However it is still possible to see sections of the watermark text. Hopefully you are able to see my issue in the photo below and it is not too small or too faint.

MS Word 2013 - Problem with Inserting a table

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 04:04 AM PST

I am trying to insert a table into Word but do not appear to have the option to do this - when I select the table icon the drop down menu appears but is "greyed out" and won't allow me to select any of the options from that menu.  I have tried opening a new document and closing word and the same problem exists.

 

A colleague has sent me a table, which Word will allow me to insert, but I cannot then amend the table (insert additional columns / rows).

Colour / shade the entire footer in Word 2010

Hi, can anyone help me shade / colour in the entire footer in a Word 2010 document please?  I have managed to get it to shade part of it but not all.  I will need to write over the shading too.

word home and student 2013 crashes when you try to spell check

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 03:19 AM PST

Hi.  We have had to have our pc repaired several times by pc world in the last 6 weeks, 2 new mother boards, network cards and antenee,s this has meant that all our data had been lost on the computer and we have had to reinstall microsoft office home and student 2013.  The product key seems to have worked and it has installed on the computer again but on the word programme you are no longer able to spell check, if you click spell check option, it comes up with microsoft has encountered an error and needs to shut down, the whole programme then closes and restarts. It only does this if there is a spelling mistake - if the grammar is all correct it is fine and says nothing to check.
Any suggestions?

I have tried going to control panel, uninstall, office, change, quick repair and the internet repair and still the same problem

Erroneous Autocomplete of "Baha'i" to "Baha'I" Windows Office (Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.)

Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:13 AM PST

Hey guys I'm a member of the Baha'i Faith and all Office apps have autocompleted to "Baha'I" since I've been ever used Office since the 1990s -- could you fix that? @Office referred me here. Before you refer me elsewhere, bear in mind I have already been referred to an Office 2010 feedback form. There is no "All Office Apps" category, I have to pick one.

Word 2013 adding unwanted page breaks and formatting

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 11:11 PM PST

Hello, 
I am using Word 2013 and began typing a document.  Around the area where the data would begin to fill the 2nd page, word automatically added an additional page break after my title.  When I go to paragraph view to see the page break it is not there and I cannot remove it, but I cannot figure out what is going on.  When I go to reading view everything looks as I typed it.  When I go to print preview or print layout view the data is moving around all over.  As I change the sizes of some of the inserted images things move around all over.  Word will even separate to a new page IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARAGRAPH and then back again!  
I am familiar with using word 2010 and use it on a weekly basis.  I have made many similar documents and never seen such a weird problem.  My assumption is there is a setting that is causing this or an installation error or bug because this is a fairly new program to me.  Any help would be appreciated.  Jon
Update:  I found this post: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/please-advise-word-365-inserting-random-page/cf846d2b-1f2e-455c-a4b4-e1f612f7f6a9 and it appears to have fixed the problem.  I highlighted all the text, Home tab, Paragraph Settings (arrow in corner of paragraph section), and found Keep with Next was grayed out.  I selected it and then un-selected it and that fixed the problem.  Not sure why this was checked but hopefully it does not need unchecked on future documents.  The document I created was the first in Word 2013 for me.  

troubles finding "^p"

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 09:28 PM PST

Why Microsoft Word 2010 finds some occurrences of "^p" and some others doesn't find?.

I have a text document, 555 KB, when I edit to replace occurrences of "^p" (these means: a quote + a new paragraph character + a quote) the search engine finds some of the occurrences and some others doesn't. I have viewed the file with a hexadecimal file viewer and the characters there are 22 0D 0A 22, in ALL CASES, including the ones that search engine CAN find and the ones that CAN'T find it.

Any clue? : )

Regards.
Paco.

Spelling and Grammar Check Query

Selection reverts to "Clear All"

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 04:57 PM PST

When we select text, that text's style is selected in Style Pane, right? Like this.



But, sometimes, the style is set to Clear All. This is more often happen when I select many paragraphs at once.
I know, this is probably because there's more than one style in that selected text. But no.
I've tried to clear all formatting in that selected text, and then click one style, say Heading 1.
There's a change but it still is set to "Clear All".

I wonder if there's a limit to selected paragraph or something.
So why does this happen?
This is a minor issue but nevertheless is annoying as ****.
I even think as to downgrade to Office 2007.

Thanks for the help.

Numbers do not merger correctly when using Mail Merge for Word/Excel 2013

With my first try at using Mail Merge in Word 2013 I found that many of the Zip Codes only have a 0 and not the 5 digit or Zip +4 code as entered into the column. I have tried it with the column formatted as Special - Zip Code; and as Text.

Using Word Web App in a resilient way on ChromeOS

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 04:38 PM PST

Another member of our household is using an Acer Chromebook to use the Word Web App. So I only hear about problems when they occur in which case I'm already in firefighting mode.

In this particular case, the word web app indicated that the connection was lost to the server. Upon refresh, newly added text was lost.

Now, this seems reasonable, right? But what is the interval in which the app does save? How often does it try before giving up? In this case a good half an hour had passed over the course of which time the lost text had been written and the Word Web App had not complained. The assumption being that it had saved to SkyDrive somewhat frequently. It had not.

So the text was lost. In addition, when the connection had been lost, it was not possible to even grab the text and save it somewhere else like the clipboard, and despite the network being present, the application failed to offer the chance to retry or return to normal operation.


I would love to hear thoughts on configuration, best practices or warning signs to know when the app has not saved, or is suffering network issues in advance of a modal dialog blocking rescuing work in progress (work in peril? :) ).

Best regards,

Peter

Are you receiving any event log messages? How is your SMTP virtual server
configured? Are both servers having trouble sending to the other, or is
this problem one way only? Do you have any firewalls between the two
servers, and, if so, are they filtering or "fixing up" SMTP? Have you tried
to perform a telnet session from one server to port 25 of the other server
and verified that you can send messages between them?

Exchange Migration Wizard (2003 to 2003)

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 08:03 AM PDT

Hi, Jim.
Yes, it is the Migration Wizard included in Exchange I was mentioning, is
there any other version ?

Apart from user data and public folder content, we would like to migrate the
delegations, Contacts, DLs & Public-Folder permissions, etc..
Basically lets say we must go through the move to the new organization and
at the same time minimize the impact on the end-users, they should not have
to re-create anything (PAB, rules, delegations, permissions, etc..)
I am wondering if we should not consider a third party migration tool such
as NetIQ & Quest, or can we do everything that these tools do with Microsoft
migration tools ?
Thanks Luca.

VSS Writer Event ID 9607 Error code 0x50d

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 01:14 PM PDT

That's interesting. I wasn't interpreting it that way. You are suggesting
that the data "backup in progress" refers to an already existing VSS request
and that's why the new request is failing? There is a job that starts at 8PM
and is throwing a CA error about not being able to connect to the CA RPC
agent. That job is finished by the time the second job starts at 10PM. It's
the second 10PM job that is trying to do a backup via the Exchange Writer and
that's the one that is throwing bith a CA error and the MS app log error I
indicated. I do see that the errors int he second job have occurred three
times. Each time was after the CA RPC error int he first job. Perhaps you
are correct and the CA RPC agent is stuck. I have recycled that service and
will do some other re-patching and see if this helps.

Cant use OWA(IIS) Change Password URL from a message in OWA

You might post this to a Windows or IIS newsgoup as this function isn't
strictly an Exchange thing.

Ensure that you don't have URL Scan installed. If you do there will be a
folder under %windows%\system32\logfiles.

There is an issue with Exchange and Windows Server SP1, however, the issue
is not like you describe your issue. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=841561

Windows Service Pack 1 has a built in firewall that must be configured to
allow OWA through IIS.

Also, do you have this same problem from a number of machines? Does Firefox
show the same problem?

You control what goes into a Public Folder calendar and it syncs to

You would have a good chunk of work to set it up first-off, but it

If you have Office application still on the system then you can use this
small tool to get your CD keys:

If you have reinstalled Windows, as you say, then most likely you don't
have any applications on the system in which case I can't help you
except to say that you have to look for your old Cd case/sleeve on which
the keys are normally written.

Technet Evaluation Software - can't validate

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear previously. Regardless whether the
source of the issue is technical or legal, the issue itself is in
relationship to product activation and is therefore a licensing question.
As such, this licensing question falls to Customer service to manage, even
though the specific problem that you're having may very well be related to
your DVD.

It seems like you've done a fair bit of deductive work with this issue, and
I would recommend that a next step may be to call Customer Service and
discuss the issue with them. They will be able to provide you with the
best next step.

Thanks very much for your understanding, and please have a nice day.

Best,
Dana

Traffic between the CRM and SQL servers is very heavy. Try to have a

Have you optimised the disk configuration on SQL eg
transaction log on dedicated disk,

How to import previous MSCRM data after change in AD domain name?

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 11:18 AM PDT

If your old AD domain exists on another DC, you can use the CRM Redeployment
tools to redeploy the CRM DB to the new domain. These tools can be found
on MSDN at: MSCRM Redeployment Tools

If the old AD domain does not exist, you can contact PSS / CRM Support and
they may be able to walk you through a process to pull some of the data out
of your old DB and to load it into your new installation in the new domain.
CRM has Data Migration Framework tools that can assist here.

SQL Server Error whilst creating new attribute

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 07:12 AM PDT

Paul,

The limit you are hitting is actually a SQL limitation. The KB article you
found refers to a bug that occurrs when importing schema info in CRM, not
actually adding them via Deployment Manager.

Basically, SQL will not allow a row to span a page (hence the 8k limit).
Problem is, CRM treats the record as if every field is filled to the max
(varchars only take up space for the actual data). Many of the fields in the
stock app are rather large and take up a lot of that 8k limit.

SQL will actually allow you to continue to add columns, but warns you of the
problem. It's not an issue until you try to save more than 8k of data. At that
point, the update errors out. Once you get to the pint of maxing out, CRM won't
allow you to add any more. They opted to prevent an error occuring that would
bubble to the end user that would result in lost data.

It's kind of a hassle, but that is what's happening.

I've googled this error message and found a Microsoft

However I don't think the information contained on the

software update there, but it is for MSCRM v1 rather than
v1.2 (which is the version I'm using). But I think that
v1.2 should already includes this update.

Can anyone shed any light on whats going on here. I
presume that the creation of the new attribrute is trying
to create one or more new records/fields in the Metabase
which SQL Server is unable to do and hence generating the
error; does anyone out there know how to work around this?

Beginners Question

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 04:05 AM PDT

You might find this article mildly interesting:
http://www.crn.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=23905047&flatPage=true
Basically, it talks about how "CRM" is becoming much broader than it was just a few years ago. For instance, we use Microsoft CRM for our helpdesk/customer service, sales & marketing, and reporting, as you mentioned. But, because these tasks encompass 80% of our job functions, it is easy to envision a time when CRM might become more of a portal to everything we do for our customers (both internal and external) that ties everything together in a powerful way. I know that Microsoft wants to integrate more Office into CRM in future releases, and if they could turn the CRM web client email into a full email client, they'd be pretty close to accomplishing that.

If you passed the exam using vue or prometric you can call and they will
send you confirmation of your result on email. This will give you the
required documentation to register your pass. I understand that currently
there are delays sending out official MSCRM certifications as a colleague of

Generating documents or letters from CRM

Posted: 31 Jul 2004 11:57 PM PDT

Many thanks for the reply. Its good to hear that there are updates in the pipeline. The good thing seems to be that Microsoft CRM will allow us to do some things that we can't with other products. The downside is that some of the everyday tasks are a little more difficult. The problem seems to be that the assumption is that most communication will be transacted by meetings, email or telephone. In reality it is still different for us and many companies we deal with.

I have tried the suggestions you make but we would still need to create some rules to allow all contact transactions to be duplicated to , say, opportunity level. This can be done as you describe but does seem more complex than clicking a button, chosing a template with the rest happening automatically with the minimum number of steps and keeping all the info for the item together in one place to allow efficient reworking of the item when reviewed.

I see from the postings that a number of others have raised the same point Hopefully the closer integration and planned modifications will help with this. Microsoft CRM is potentially a very good product but with one or two changes it could be really great.

Thanks again for your reply

this safely.
