Mail Merge from Word 2010- Outlook 2010

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:21 PM PST


I am doing a mail merge from Excel to Outlook.


The merge is working fine and transferring to outlook - however the address is showing quote marks when it transfers across


i.e


'name@****'


As there are quote marks it is not recognising it as a valid address. Wondering what could be causing this.


Thanks :-)

How can I insert a contact's address in an envelope?

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:30 PM PST

I have--with help here--figured out how to insert a contact's name and address into a typical Word document using AddressLayout/Quick Parts.  It seems to work fine whenever I click on the Insert Address button, inserting the contact's name, company and address, in, say, a letter.  And if I click on Mailing, Envelopes the same information pops up in the window for addressing the envelope.  However, if I am not creating a letter in Word but simply creating an envelope using Mailings, Envelopes the Insert Address button pulls up a simplified version of what I have set up in AddressLayout--the person's name and address only.  Is there a way to get the same information as I have set up in the AddressLayout Quick Part?

microsoft office starter 2010

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:17 PM PST

I am operating with windows 8 and 2 days ago Microsoft word and excel starter 2010 edition have stopped working. I get a dialog box titled Click to run applications manager with dialog of Microsoft word starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the program in control panel.

I have repaired Microsoft office starter edition 2010 through the control panel and the repair says it has been completed. However word or excel will not open  and I just get the above dialog box.

The computer came with windows 8 and the pre installed edition of Microsoft starter 2010.

Word Converting by Self

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:14 PM PST

We have Office 2013 on Windows 7.  With no rhyme or reason, my documents that I have created and saved in (for example) Word 2013 will change to Word 2007 document.  When I try to open the file, it will open in a jiberous title eg. "WD000013 [Read Only] [Compatibility Mode]".  I found a fix for this once and thought it was rectified, but it's doing it again now and of course I can't find the fix again.  Yes, in save options, I have it set to save in .docx format.  So that is not the fix.  When I check the properties of the file that was originally saved as Word 2013, it has changed itself to say Opens With: Microsoft Open XML Converter.  When I go to change, it recommends "Microsoft Office 2013 Component", "Word (Desktop)", "WordPad" or "Microsoft Works Word Processor".  Any suggestions?

Unable to print Word document including comments in bubbles at side. Suggestions?

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 11:59 AM PST

Unable to print Word document including comments in bubbles at side. 


-  I've selected Show Markup in the Tracking group

-  This step puts a check beside 'Print Markup" within Print > Settings > Print All Pages

-  It prints the main document (without bubble comments) smaller on the page, and leaving room for the bubble/comments, but they don't print.


Any suggestions?   Thanks.

Word resizes a linked inlineshape when the link is edited

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 10:24 AM PST

I have over 100 linked pictures in a Word 2007 document (Windows 7). Most of the pictures are screen shots stored as bit maps. They are accessible in VBA as inlineshape objects.

 

Sometimes when I edit one of the linked bitmaps, Word resizes the image in the document. Its assigned height and width seem randomly chosen. So I have some questions:

 

1. It this a known problem (feature) in Word?

2. Are there specific instances when this happens? If so, maybe I can modify the document to avoid those cases.

3. Is there some way to force Word to use the per cent height and width or the specific height and width of the shape that I chose for the picture?

4. Are there some "best practices" for capturing screen images and including them in Word documents?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I have a word document with several hundred footnotes that I want to post online. In order format it for online viewing, I need to have all the footnotes in the body of my text wrapped with tags (i.e. John Doe said, "This example is fine."<ref>footnote text</ref> Next sentence starts here). 

Is there a way to move all the footnote text to their numeric anchors? Can I automatically add a <ref> to the start and </ref> to the end?

Custom Properties, TOC, Figure Number, Cross Reference, Table Number Issues in Word 2007

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:47 AM PST

I am using Word 2007.  I have a number of custom properties defined for my document, an automatically generated TOC, many numbered figures and tables.  I have to individually toggle the property codes to get the values to appear.  Once I have all the appropriate property values displayed, I save and close the document.  Upon reopening the document I once again have the property codes e.g. {TOC\o "1-3" \h \z \u}.   I have spent hours tinkering with custom properties and trying to find a solution.  Can someone help me solve this issue?  Thanks.. 28

Formatting Caption Labels Separately.

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:39 AM PST

I would like to create a style that allows me to add a caption and not have to format the label manually.

 

I have a style right now called Figure Caption. When I add a new caption, I get this:

 

Figure 1-1: Example Text

 

Now I have to go back and manually change the "Figure 1-1:" to bold.

 

I want to make a style that automatically makes the caption:

 

Figure 1-1: Example Text

 

Is there any way to do this?

Word will not open

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:34 AM PST

I have MS Office 2000 Professional installed on my XP system computer and have been using it for years.  Recently, when I attempt to open Word, I get the sign-on screen and it will not open further.  Excel and PowerPoint work fine.

 

I have uninstalled and re-installed Office 2000 several times from the original CD with no change.  I have also run Detect and Repair from Excell with the shortcut change also and that does not work any better.  I have also tried other suggestions found on this site.

 

I know Office 2000 is old but it served me well and I am reluctant to purchase a new version.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks, Sprinrr

flatten shapes in word

If I draw more shapes in MS Word and want to move shapes I have to select all the shapes and then move them. Please tell any other short method to select all shapes on a page at the same time and keep them selected forever. I.e when I want to edit text of the page shapes become odd.

Hyperlink address with "#" in it fails now.

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:29 AM PST

Hi, I'm working on a Word document (Word 2010, Windows 7) at work, a large reference manual with many links going to various websites. In earlier versions, I could link to specific parts of a webpage with an address with "#" in it. For some reason now, it come up with an error message if the link is in any Word document.

 

For example, if I create a link to:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

 

It takes me to the top of the Wikipedia article on cats, no problem. But if I add a link directly to the part of the article on cat behavior and use this link:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Behavior

 

It should go directly to the "Behavior" heading in the body of the article. Instead I get an error message from Wikipedia..."Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name." It's not a problem with Wikipedia, it's the same with other websites. BTW if you cut and paste the link into the address area of Internet Explorer, the link works. It's only when linking from a Word (or Excel) doc that it fails.

 

One of our tech people noted that it appears Word is changing "#" to "-", so in the error message above, it shows the address as:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_-_Behavior

 

So it may be that Word isn't recognizing "#" for some reason, and is changing it to "-" for some reason(??)

 

 

 

 

Word will not let me edit or close

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:00 AM PST

I have a word document and I tried doing the right-click>Convert to Adobe PDF, and it had me save the PDF file in a folder, and then it had me save the file again. (which I thought was a little weird) After that it gave me an error in Notepad saying:   %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% Cambria not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%% Stack: [338 373 332 0] () %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% So I close the Notepad error and now I can't click inside of any of my open Word documents. It just 'dings' each time I click. I think there's an open dialogue box or something but I can't SEE any. And I'm not sure when I saved my word documents, so I'm trying to fix this without shutting down or 'End Task'ing Microsoft Word.   Please help.   DDouget

Display of Hebrew Vowels in MS Word 2007 in Windows 8.1

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 04:20 AM PST

Hi,

I'm using WORD 2007 in Windows 8.1. After resolving the issue of writing hebrew vowels (Nikud) by changing the keyboard layout, I started adding vowels. 
However, the display of HOLAM HASER (חולם חסר) is messed up. Instead of appearing above the letter it appears besides it. 
The same document, when opened on another computer, is displayed correctly. 


Here's an example, where you can see the HOLAM HASAR appearing three times beside the letter ו instead of above it.
 

Please help.

Is it possible to create/customize a toolbar in Word 2010, like in previous versions of Word

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:51 AM PST

Hi, to expand on the question title:

 

In previous versions of word, you clicked on View > Toolbars > Customize > New... and you would have a floating toolbar. I used this as part of my job and added lots of individual autotext snippets and had these grouped in categories for easy access.

 

Now, with Word 2010, I am struggling to replicate this. I understand the ribbon and the QAT and I have the autotext option within both of these. In the QAT clicking autotext shows a long list of autotext snippets but this means scrolling through them to find the correct one, with seemingly no way to group or sort these.

 

What I want to do is have a similar toolbar or a way to create a new tab on the ribbon with the ability to drop individual snippets of autotext into their for ease of access.

 

I hope someone can help and i appreciate any help you can give.

 

Thanks, Josh.

https via documents.open of the word application causes an error
https over ActivceX works fine when I try to log the communication with Fiddler

Customize Keyboard, assigning a shortcut key

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 10:43 PM PST

Apologies in advance for a long story.

 

I've created a macro that I want to assign to a particular key combination. I've done this literally thousands of times over the last 15 years, but i've never come across anything like the problem I've having here.

 

I have assigned the macro to a key combination: Ctrl+Alt+M.

 

As expected I am able to use that key combination to run the macro -- and then for no apparent reason it suddenly stops working.

 

The macro is still there, and can be run directly. And when I go into the Customize Keyboard dialog, I can see that Ctrl+Alt+M it is still assigned to the macro. But it doesn't run.

 

The first few times this has happened, I've Removed the assignment, then reassigned it. And I have somehow been able to get it to work for a time -- until it mysteriously stops again. Within the same Word session, it will work, and then stop.

 

This last time, as has happened before, when I went to do the usual Remove and re-Assign, I found that the box where I enter the key combo, is rejecting Ctrl+Alt+M. I type it, but it doesn't appear in the box. Nothing at all happens, it's as though I am not pressing any keys at all. I do not get an indication that it is already assigned -- but I can see that it IS already assigned. If I remove the assignment, then (as in the past) I may get lucky and find myself able to reassign it after opening and closing Word a few times, but it's very inconsistent.

 

On a hunch, I went to the desktop and tried to assign Ctrl+Alt+M to an application shortcut, through the shortcut's Properties dialog. When I type that key combo, the box automatically clears, indicating that it is already assigned. Yet I haven't assigned it to anything -- certainly not since I started being intermittently able to assign it to a Word macro.  (I am aware that desktop Shortcut shortcut keys take precedence over Word key combo assignments.) Yet when I type Ctrl+Alt+M outside of Word, even when directly on the desktop, nothing at all happens, i.e., it really doesn't seem to be assigned to anything.

 

Thinking it might be something wrong with my Normal.dotm template, I renamed and hid it form Word, forcing the creation of a new one. I then recorded a macro, but when I tried to assign it to Ctrl+Alt+M, the same thing happened.

 

I found a utility that will display all shortcut keys that are currently assigned to desktop shortcuts. When I run this, it correctly shows all of my shortcuts, and as expected, Ctrl+Alt+M is not one of them.

 

SOMETHING is intermittently inhibiting this one particular key combo from being assigned to either a Word command/macro or to desktop shortcuts, and when I am able to make an assignment, it eventually stops working.

 

I'm hoping that someone might detect a clue in this tale of woe as to what it might be.

 

Thank you.

Remove Header Sections

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 07:13 PM PST

I am working in a 93 page document, that I need to reformat and insert new information. Unfortunately in this 93 page document, it has about 50 different Header sections. I've gone through and deleted all of the headers since they will change as I make changes to the document, but all of the sections remain. How can I delete the sections? This applies to the footer as well. There are obviously just as many footer sections. Is there a way to do it all at one time?

What's happening is that I will want the same header on each page, but I have to at this point, go to each section and type it. What happens if my company wants a change made, I will have to do it 50 times. And then deal with the footers. :(

Please help.

 

Help with finding superscript numbers and replacing with footnotes

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 06:25 PM PST

Hello all,

I have some documents where the footnotes are just superscript numbers. I want to search for those superscript numbers and replace them with a real footnote. Using the macro recorder and some wildcards, I can find the superscript numbers, but I need to do something else to actually insert a footnote. Getting those bits of macro to play together, though, has been eluding me.

Currently I'm just having Word highlight the superscript numbers so I can visually see where I need to insert footnotes. Once I have real footnotes inserted, I run a find/replace to delete highlighted text. It's working okay, but I'd like something a bit less kluged/more idiot proof.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-W.

Paste a sparkline into Word

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 05:03 PM PST

I'm trying to add some sparklines from Excel into a table in Word, but I can't work out the best way to paste them in.

If I do a straight copy and paste, they come up as blank. If I copy and paste each as a picture, they work but leave a grey border around the sparkline even though my Excel cells have no borders.

What's the best way to paste sparklines into word so that they don't have any grey borders?

Help verifying Word 2010 / getting programs to recognise internet connection!!!

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 03:23 PM PST

Hi,

I recently rebooted my computer to restore it to factory settings. Following this I re-downloaded Microsoft Word 2010, using the product key from when I originally purchased a year back.

However, when trying to 'verify on the internet' as an option it keeps coming up with an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet, when clearly I am as I'm using this browser now. It's incredibly frustrating to be told I am not online when I'm 100% connected. 

How can I overcome this and allow my Microsoft programs to realise and accept the fact that I am actually connected? Windows Vista user.

Please help

Works won't install on Windows Xp

Posted: 06 Feb 2007 07:46 AM PST

faris,
1. Did you new PC, come with Works 8.X installed already.
2. Did you uninstall that version of Works, through Add/Remove Programs.
If yes to the above, before installing the older version of Works, you need to
Delete the following folder.
C:\Programs\Microsoft Works

The removal process of MS Works8.x leaves this folder with newer versions of a
bunch of *.dll files. They need to be removed, before an older version can be
installed. I had the same problem with my new Dell, when trying to install Works
Suite 2002 on it, after removing Works8.0 through Add/Remove Programs.

I have quite an old machine ... P3 450 with 128MB RAM.

Trying to install MEPIS. CD boots OK and loads KDE although rather

Rob,
MEPIS just put out a version called MEPIS LITE which is designed
for systems that are older and have less resources, i.e. RAM, etc.
You might take a look. Could be what you need.

No they haven't.
 

It's still a good idea if you want multiple distro while using
common self compiled kernel to have /boot on its own partition so
you can easily share it.

[..]
 

There are more reasons like 'df' allowing to see at a glance were
the space is gone. With a single partition it can be quite time
consuming.
 

Only with bad planning.
 

Keep /usr/src on an own partition (LVM) once it looked like it
filled up during compiling a large packet. But since it's xfs on
top of lvm I just resized it while things were running.;)

[..]
 

Agree you can ease up things on a desktop with a single user, but
you certainly want /home and probably /usr/src or/and /usr/local
on their own partitions, so you can upgrade your distro and keep
those fs. Saves much time if you don't need to restore them from
backup, which many people don't have at all, which is a really
bad bad thing.;(

I'd give the same answer as the others gave you, but I'll also add that you
might want to reconsider the approach you've taken. If at the end of all
those fits and spurts of activity, the end of the sequence you've created,
there's one deliverable completed then what you're doing is ok, if somewhat
akward. But if each of those occurences produces its own deliverable (and
just guessing I'll bet that's the case, it is 99% of the time you have a
series of tasks like that), then it's another story and they really should
be listed in the plan as independent tasks. If you were painting the
offices on a certain floor, each office takes 1 day and you figured you
could do one of them every month, in between other work taking place, it
would not be one task "painting" interrupted a number of times. Instead it
should be a series of separate tasks "paint room 201" "paint room 202"
"paint room 203" ... each of them at whatever point in the work that
particular room gets done.

That is the way it is. You only get text left, right, center above and
below.
I suppose if you really wanted, you could write some visual basic which
would look at the task, determine the number of splits, use a spare text
field to write out the task name that many times, determine the approximate
length of the text string and the total length of the task and set the
timescale accordingly, but it would probably not work for all tasks at the
same time.
Why not just create multiple tasks and roll them up to a summary task?
Working with split tasks is usually not a good thing.

Repeating Tasks

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 12:05 PM PST

Rod - thanks for the thoughts.
I played with it last eve. and here's what I came up with that works.
I set up 3 recurirng tasks as follows.
One called Nights, runs for 3 days, then repeats every 12th day.
One called Off, runs for 3 days and repeats every 6th day.
Lastly, one dalled Days, runs for 3 days, repeats every 12th.
I made all the days in the year working days, as his schedule runs across
all 7 days of the week.

Thanks again

How do you make the entire week workdays?

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 11:43 AM PST

There are several reply already telling you how to do this, but I should
add - Are you sure you really want to? Since the calendar controls the
scheduling of tasks and tasks usually are proken down to the level of the
work done by one person or a team of individuals, showing all 7 days as
workingg days implies that once a task starts, people will work on it every
day, no days off at all, until it' done. Before setting up your calendar as
7 days you should make sure that really describes what's going to happen
with your tasks. If there's a task that takes 2 weeks to do, will it be
worked on every day for 2 weeks without the people working on it taking any
days off?

MS Project - Overallocated Resources - Different Cost

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 09:22 AM PST

There's no provision to automatically do what you ask. A couple of things
for explanation and a possible solution. "Overallocation" doesn't quite
mean what you're using it to be in that "allocation" not a direct indication
of number man-hours scheduled and an overallocation is not necessarily a
manpower shortfall. Allocations and overallocations refer to a rate
variable, namely the rate at which duration time is converted into useful
work output, not a scalar. Saying a resource is available 300% and at some
point he is allocated 400% doesn't really tell you anything that a cost
could be derived from because there's no indication of how much time the
overallocation exists for. It means that an existing resource is being
required to produce more work during some undefined time period than it is
physically capable of. One way to resolve it is to hire an external
resource, true. But another (and more common) way of resolving is to extend
the duration of the task, in the case of reducing a 400% allocation to a
300% and depending on the nature of the work itself one might extend the
duration by 33%, a 40 hour task becoming a 53 hour task for example thus
eliminating the need to hire more help. Or one might shift part of the work.
The classic case would be where Joe is booked for two full day tasks on
Monday, each required to produce 8 man-hours of work, when he only works an
8 hour shift. One of those tasks must be shifted to Tuesday because Joe
can't be in two places at once on Monday.

For a plan to be valid, all overallocations other than trivial ones
absolutely have to be resolved before the schedule is finalized, otherwise
you're virtually guaranteeing tasks will run late. Hence, by the time you
get to the point you're looking at costs, overallocations should no longer
exist in the plan and so there's no provision to assign them a unique cost
rate, in addition to the fact that a resource having a peak greater than his
allowed maximum still doesn't tell you how many hours that level is
required. What I would do in your case is create a new resource in the
resource list, named "Temp Fid Maker" or some such, and give them a rate of
$100. On the task in question, you would have two resources assigned -
"Existing Resource Team, 300%" and "Temp Fid Maker, 100%."

Can Project send emails using Novell Groupwise?

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 07:37 AM PST

Rick,

If you're talking about Project Server, it will use any SMTP gateway (including Groupwise - we use it right now) that you point it to, as long as that gateway is setup to accept and forward mail from outside sources. This is commonly known as a mail relay and mail administrators typically lock down mail relay so they don't become victims to spammers that hijack their gateway. However, if you talk to your mail admins and tell them what you need to accomplish the can "white list" your project server so mail relay will be allowed.

Hi G,

You are right, this cannot be done as uch.
The workaround is either not to use customproperties, but instead the textn
fields of the project summary tasks (which are accessible by page setup) or
to copy (possibly by VBA) the value of the custom property into a
projectsummarytask.textn field or also to copy them directly into the setup
