Page Break Going to Other than at it's intended Place?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:20 PM PST

Hi


I have two Questions as follows:


Only at some places, not in the whole document,  when I do a "Page Break" - it goes to a place other than at it's intended place--


Questions   (a) Why does this happens?

and             (b) How do I fix it.? 


Look forward to hearing from an expert.

Microsoft Word Problem

My 97 year old friend is trying to type up her Christmas letter, but all of the letters are in red & underlined with tiny dots, so it looks like the lines are underlined.  Does anyone know what she may have hit that is causing this issue?  Thank you.  :)

Word 2013- Blank Document not pulling from normal.dotm file?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 12:35 PM PST

Hello,

My Word 2013 blank document is opening with no header ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1 the other day. I did online research on the normal.dotm file in the templates folder and have deleted it and let Word recreate it and still there is no header. It seems that the blank document is pulling from another file, but I cannot find a way to see what file it is using. I even did the step where I went to run entered regedit and edited the registry editor, but that did not fix the issue.

Please Help!

Thank you.

How do I make Word 2007 open zoomed to 150%?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 12:29 PM PST

I've searched on this site for answers, and so far none of what has been offered as a "solution" has solved my problem.

 

What I currently have when I open Word 2007: a blank document zoomed to 80%, page layout 'after' spacing at 0

 

What I want: a blank document zoomed to 150%, page layout 'after' spacing at 10

 

I've read all about changing the 'Normal' template... blah blah blah. But the Normal template is apparently not what my Word opens automatically, because I've made changes to that template, and when I go in and open that template, those changes are saved properly and appear the way I want. But going in and having to open this particular template isn't saving me any time. I might as well just set the zoom and page layout myself every time if I'm going to have to go in an open a particular template anyway.

 

Since opening Word automatically gives me a blank document, I want that blank document set up to what I need, and so far none of the answers I've seen on here address this.

 

Anybody know how to fix this? This seems like a simple problem...

 

Thanks,

Brian

Word 2013 endnotes formatting

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 12:01 PM PST

I am trying to convert some WordPerfect files to Word 2013 and it's a mess. The fact that this is a long, slow process should not annoy me (but it does), but the thing I'm having no luck with is the fact that trying to restyle my WP footnotes to Word endnotes is proving impossible.  I have "converted the footnotes to endnotes" but the formatting has changed and remains hidden.  Word has apparently decided that endnotes must be in small Roman numerals, and has grayed-out the option to change that.  Also, the Style "Endnote Reference" is "hidden until used" but remains hidden even when used.  I expect there is some simple, if hidden, way to fix all this, but I can't find it.  Any ideas?

Table is unintentionally splitted and the first row jumps over paragraphs to the previous page.

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 10:31 AM PST

Hello,

I have problem when composing a long table with a lot of rows so that it is longer than one page. The  first row is always separated from the subsequent rows. The first  always jumps over one/two paragraphs in the previous page, so that the order of the writing became awkward : the first row - one/two paragraphs - the subsequent rows.
I have tried several tricks to solve this problem, but so far I failed to.
Please advice me how to solve this problem. Thank you

 

Why aren't the proofing tools working in Office 2013 on Windows 8 laptop?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 09:27 AM PST

I recently bought a Lenovo Yoga 11S laptop, with Office Home and Student 2013 installed in it. I didn't check the functioning of the proofing tools before, but when I needed them recently, I found that they were not working. When I had to use the thesaurus, Word just stopped working with a message that read "Microsoft Word has stopped working". It happened with spell check and dictionary too. I've checked the proofing preferences and everything is as it should be. I even downloaded the proofing tools again from the website, but it didn't change anything. This is really frustrating, as I need the thesaurus a lot. I've tried many online forums and have not been able to find a solution for this. I would really appreciate your quick response to this. 
Thank you.

Help! Margins randomly change in Word 2010 large document

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:48 AM PST

I have a large document (450 pages, 6.5 MB) with several section breaks contained within the document.  Within several sections the text is in an outline format.  For some reason, the left hand margin will shift and the entire outline moves outside the LH margin and the levels are collapsed (all aligned).   I will readjust the margin and indent the entire outline appropriately, SAVE, and continue working further into the document.   This doesn't occur to the same section or outline, but several different within the document.  

 

I've fixed this several times at different points in the document, but it keeps occurring!!  Its incredibly frustrating.Help please.  

Using Building Blocks/Quick Parts in Word 2013

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:38 AM PST

Hello, 

I am building a form in Word 2013. I have a question that I pose to the user: Do you have this already? Then I added a drop down selection of Yes or No. 

I have two quick part text paragraphs. One is the content for if yes is selected. The other is the content for if no is selected. 

How do I set up the trigger that if Yes is selected then show content A but if No is selected show content B?

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to figure this out?

Thank you!!!

I should add this edit... I don't know how to use the vba code stuff :)

Merging Labels in Officed 2007

I am very competent using mailmerge, but am struggling with Office 2007.  When I add the table to put the fields in on the labels, the cursor is at the BACK of the table and I can't get the fields in.  This happens with letters too.  What is wrong, I have had trouble ever since I got Windows7 and now Windows 8.1.  Always worked on my old computer????

Updating field codes automatically

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:12 AM PST

My company has a Word template (originally created in Word 2000) that is used for procedures.  It was originally designed to store a number of values on the cover page, using Set; for example, Set Proc_RevNumber "15" to set the revision number to 15.  Subsequent pages contain the same data in the header, and display the data using Ref; for example; Ref Proc_RevNumber \* charformat.  After recently implementing Word 2010, we are noticing that, on some occasions, the pages after page 1 do not show the current revision until the document is printed; i.e., the pages show revision 14 instead of 15 on the screen (in Print Layout view), but when printed, they are all revision 15.  This could be a concern for users.  Is there any setting in Word 2010 that will automatically update references such as these when the document is opened, so that they display correctly?

Issue with Word Documents in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 07:13 AM PST

Hi,

  We are seeing a rather odd issue with one user with Microsoft Word 2010 and when she opens a Word document. This is on a 2008 R2 Server with Xenapp 6.5 installed. Profiles are on a DFS share path with only one target enabled and permissions have been verified. When she opens a document, it comes up in read only. She can close it and reopen it and it's fine. Yesterday she didn't have the issue, this morning she did. This happens on random Microsoft Word documents and only with Word documents. No reports of any issues with Excel, Powerpoint or within Outlook. I have seen some articles and tried a couple of fixes but nothing has worked. I don't think a uninstall and reinstall Office will fix the issue as one forum I had seen with a similar issue. She said some documents had been converted over from Office 2003. This has also happened with a Word document that had been created within Word 2010. Office has been patched with the latest updates and service packs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 
  Thanks, 
    Shaun

How can I have the View save with the specific Word document?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:09 AM PST

I have documents on my computer that I want to open in either Print Layout or Web Layout View. In Word 2010 and earlier, if I opened a document it would remember the last view I had used with it - as if the View was saved with the file.

Now in Word 2013, if I open a file, it defaults to the last View I was using. I constantly have to switch views and the extra step is driving me crazy! Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ryan

Quick Parts-> Document Property: only 1000 properties are shown

My document has more than 1000 properties (yes, I need all of them) and they are all quite nicely show in Document Panel. But I'm able to add via Quick Parts->Document Properties only first 1000 of them, others are not shown in the list.
How can I add the others? It doesn't have to be easy, it only has to work.

UK English in Word 2013

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 04:12 AM PST

I was glad to see that my version of of Word now had UK English as its default. Previous versions kept switching out of UK English into American English.

But it appears that Microsoft's idea of UK English is that it is just the same as American English, and I'm being autocorrected from words with ...our and ...ise endings (to ...or and ...ize - and yes I know that ize is an alternative in UK English, even used by The Times, but I'm working to the style book of a company that uses ise). Does anyone know whether there is a real UK English dictionary available: the UK English option on previous versions was reasonably accurate when we were allowed to use it, so maybe there is a way of importing it.  

Microsoft Word 2013 Password Recovery.

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:39 AM PST


Hi Everyone.



I recently password protected the opening of a word document that contains my personal information,

Unfortunately I have misplaced the required password to open this file. I am the administrator of the PC that the file is stored and I created the file a week back on the same PC.


It would be much appreciated if someone could provide a solution for my dilemma, I could provide the necessary information to authenticate my ownership of this file if need be.


Looking forward to your support.


Pasting into a numbered list

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:01 AM PST

I'll begin with an easy way to recreate my problem:

 

- Create a numbered list with 3 elements.

- Manually change the indent of entire set using the vertical ruler.

- Then paste raw text into one of those three elements.

 

Word will revert the indent of the row you've pasted text into to its default state.

 

Is there any way to prevent Word from doing this?

 

(I know it's enough to properly define the styles, but the nature of my task makes it impractical).

I can't open my word document due to some issues with the contents. Please Help!

Word 2013 Ribbon won't stay on selected tab.

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 08:59 PM PST

When I open Word 2013, it defaults to the "File" tab. If I select a different tab, such as "Home" I get the options but "File" stays highlighted and when I click back into the document, the "Home options disappear and I am back at "File". This makes editing very cumbersome. How do I get the tab I select to be "sticky" and stay active until I select a different tab?

OWA: New User default Time Zone

Posted: 10 Oct 2005 11:06 PM PDT

Not So. Example:
1. Create a new user, and log into OWA via my PC.
2. Time zone is IDLWest -12:00
3. Move mailbox to another information store
4. Log into OWA via my PC
5. Time zone is GMT +10:00 (Corrent Time Zone)

Hence there is something to do with the information store and the time zone.
These cannot be external factors, since the client PC used to access OWA was
exactly the same PC, accessing exactly the same mailbox, but on a different
information store.

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available in Works.

Perhaps this manual workaround helps.

The total number of pages (and the current page number)
is listed on the status line, at the bottom of the window.

Type this total number of pages into the footer,

The value will have to be checked each time a change is made to
the document and especially before printing.

transfering my works registration

Posted: 25 Oct 2006 11:55 AM PDT

Activation is completed either directly via the Internet or by a telephone
call to a customer service representative.

See the middle link I provided earlier, repeated here for convenience:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011187761033.aspx

Activate by using the telephone

"In step 2 of the Activation Wizard, use the number provided to call
the Microsoft Activation Center."

"What happens if I don't activate?
Before you activate, you can run the software up to 50 times. After that,
the software will go into Reduced Functionality mode. You will not be able
to save modifications to documents or create a new document, and
additional functionality might be reduced. Full functionality returns when
you activate the software."

Before anything else you should confirm the following, earlier you mentioned
the word "registration";

When you start Word and click Help>Activate Product

Does it say "The product has already been activated."

If so, you may continue to use the product unhindered, elsewise see the
activate by telephone advice given above.

MS Works Calendar (Backup)

As a caution, instead of overwriting I rename mswkscal.wcd to mswkscal.old
then copy the backup mswkscal.wcd into the folder. Open the Calendar, if all
is okay, close Calendar then delete mswkscal.old.

Compatibility of MS Publisher with older versions

Posted: 24 Oct 2006 09:53 AM PDT

Hi Frustrated,

Works 4.0A can be upgraded to Works 4.5A here:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx#EnglishY2K
This runs on modern systems.

Works 8.0 can be upgraded to Works 8.5 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/international/update_1001.mspx
Note that this entails the loss of some features.

Works 8 and Works 4.5 can coexist on the same computer, albeit
that there are minor configuration considerations.

Works file compatibility is given here:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/more/worktogether.mspx

Generally, Works files can be Saved As for exchange with Office users
though the journey from Office back to Works may be unsatisfactory.

Windows95 Works database

Posted: 22 Oct 2006 11:06 AM PDT

Hi Kevin James,
I watched your video on mail merge and I'm having trouble with my database.
When I try to open it a message comes on saying "it cannot be opened because
there are blank fields and/or contains character you can't use in a mail
merge list". I'm not sure how to filter this database so I can open it for
the labels.
Also, the address portion of the insert fields is too long to put the city,
state & zip code on one line. Is there a way to correct the program? eg: the
program shows the insert field as "home address, street" "home address,
city". How can I remove the "home address" and just show "street", "city",
etc.

3 digit format for numbers

...because that is a "faux reading"
eg:
in another field, join that fields contents with anything,
say "N" or perhaps another fields contents,
the formatting is then lost.
The only way your solution is viable is when the operator
used CTRL C, CTRL V to cement the 3 format string.
Not wanted in my circumstance.

Ta Kevin,
I'll have a look at those clipboard links,
the one I had, I found kept having MSWorks have critical errors
and aborting.
One cannot (or rather "does not want to") insert field entry
into the report. It requires selection from a drop down list of 253 (Ugh!)
each time, which defeats the purpose.
No matter, we shall endure this minor irritation.

You could put the linux server behind the cable modem and wireless router
and then setup the wireless router to forward traffic port 80 or whatever
to the IP address of the linux server. My ISP aliases port 80 for me so
I can run a webserver here. It sits behind a linksys wrt54g and traffic
on http/https goes to it.

I've had that setup for a long time and it works very well :)

Passive means what during FTP?

Misconfigured firewalling.
 

Yes. Passive mode is more secure(able) though.
 

Which means the server needs to (re)claim root privilege :-( ...
Vsftpd drops root after bind()ing to port 21 entirely, if setup to
passive-mode only.
 

Ofcource this beaks "ftps" (SSL/TLS encripting atleast the control channel.)
Since the (otherwise) statefull firewalling code, cannot look inside the
packets. You'd have no choise but to allow any connection from port 20 to
your 1024-65535 range.
 

Yes. And the port in in the range: >1024
 

Nope. The client connects from port >1024 , so the connection looks like:

Request PASV:

Client port >1024 ==> Server port 21

Server opens a local port >1024 listener, and tells the client about it,
client connects to that port for data transfer:

Client port >1024 ==> Server port >1024
 

No it does not. It only needs to allow outgoing connections from ports
above 1023 (or, and tighter: whatever the ip_local_port_range is set to)
to the server ports 21 and 1024-65535 ...

And since it's only outbound connections (initiated from the client) there
isn't any problem in encripting the control connection, i.e.: ftps
 

Well, you could do that. But it doesn't buy anything since the ports are
in closed state already, untill the server starts a listener for some data
connection which in turn triggers the "firewall" to poke a hole. So you'd
be "protecting" closed ports only - which seems kind of silly to me ...

Now again what this _does_ do is break SSL/TLS encripting of the control
channel (which, when configured correctly, provides some _actual_ security.)

Simply setup the server to use a passive port-range, and allow that
through the firewall. If the Netfilter is host-based (i.e.: local) one can
even configure it to allow outbound (reply) packets, in that range, from
the account the server runs as only ( man iptables <-- look for "owner" .)
 

Any Masq/NAT machine on the _client_ network isn't a problem (even with
SSL/TLS), provided: passive-mode is used ...
 

No they don't. Only if either active-mode needs to be supported, or the
NAT machine is in front of the _server_ network (in which case you'll need
to port-forward 21 and the passive-data range.)

Linux + 2 S-ATA drives

Never do this. Always, always, always make the Windows hard drive the first
drive. That's what it thinks it is when you installed it, since it was the
"first" and only drive on the controller.

Your work with the Linux installation is easily salvaged by using the Linux
installation media to munt the Linux hard drive, edit /etc/fstab and
/etc/mtab to match the swapped drives, edit /etc/boot/* files to match the
new layout, and re-run grub-install as desired.

This would make the Windows drive "hd0" and the Linux drive "hd1". It's just
a lot easier to manage this way, believe me. If you want to do otherwise,
you'll need to manipulate the mounting of hard drives in your grub or other
optiions so that your Linux drive is forced to show up as hd0 and your
Windows drive forced to show up as hd1. The Wiindows OS isn't necessarily as
smart about it, it's easier to get the Linux OS to trick things than it is
to reset what your bootable drive is in Windows.


Dual head on PCI express platform

Posted: 28 May 2005 09:55 AM PDT

Hello Rod,

I have been using ATI RADION X300 SERIES adapter on ASUS MB with Intel
915P chip set for 4 months. So far, there has not been any problem with
it.

I dualboot windowsxp and RHEL4.0, KNL 2.6.
The card comes with dual integrated display controllers and is an entry
level card with 128MB & 4 pipe rendering architecture. It provides
full support for Microsoft DirectX 9, and ATI's SmartShader and
SmoothVision

This card is not for serious gaming, but supports today's game
titles and modeling software I use on the windows shine as well.

The detailed features are at:
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/index.html

Regarding DOs and DONTs, the RHEL4.0 & FC3 supports the X300 graphic
card. But I do not know for Scientific Linux.

The problem I encounter with the 915P is the onboard Intel ICH6R raid
controller. Up to RHEL4.0 & FC3, it is not supported at installation
time.

The worst thing is that if the SATAs are configured in RAID mode, the
installation does not detects them. Which leaves on board raid feature
unusable, even if you have extra SATAs not in raid, combined with
others SATAs on RAID.

I read on the net that Mendriva 10.1 supports it, but I haven't tested
yet. And further more, it is tailored towards Desktop use rather than
server use.

Hope this helps you in someway.
