Microsoft Word - continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers

Microsoft Word - continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers

continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 03:19 PM PST

I have a document with several chapters, each chapter starting with Header 1. I have used STYLEREF fields in the headers to pick up the chapter numbers and names, and set the page number format to include chapter numbers. The page numbers run continuously, as you would expect – so I have page 1-1 to 1-7, then the next page, where Chapter 2 starts in the middle of the page, is 2-8, and so on. So far so good.
I was asked to start each chapter on page 1, so that after 1-7, the next page (where chapter 2 starts in the middle of the page) would be 2-1. So I inserted continuous section breaks, and told the page number to restart at 1. But now, after page 1-7, the next page is 2-8, followed by 2-2! Also, the STYLEREF fields in the header stopped working when there is a section break in the middle of the page - they just showed nothing. So I put in hard text in the header (since I had section breaks, I could have new text in each section), but when there is a continuous section break, the header seems governed by what is ABOVE the continuous section break, rather than what is BELOW it.
On the page where Chapter 2 starts, I would like the header to give the name/number of Chapter 2, and the footer to read 2-1.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Page Numbering Link to Next Page Numbering (.../2)

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 01:54 PM PST

Help!

 

Trying to number pages and sync the page numbering with the "next page" numbering.

 

First page numbering should start at -2-, first page should have the "next page" numbering as so: ".../2"

 

Last page should have a page number though the "next page" numbering should end at the second to last sheet.

 

Merci (hope this isn't too confusing lol)

MS Word 2007

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 01:02 PM PST

We are copying and pasting between MS Word 2007 documents and using track changes.

 

when we copy a table from one document to another document and then accept the change to the document - Word automatically changes the orientation of the target page from landscape to portrait.

 

why does it do this and how do we make it stop?

 

thank you for any help/ideas.

avoid gray background when printing comments

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:49 PM PST

I'm reviewing a document, that has various changes (using Track Changes) and a number of comments. When I print it out, there's a large section at the right of the page which has a gray background, where the comments go. 

But there are very few comments in this document, so this  this gray section is almost entirely wasted space. Also, the rest of the text is made smaller in order to fit the gray section, which makes it harder to read.

Is there any way to print the document without that gray background section? I'd prefer to have either:
(1) the background in that section would be white, or
(2) that gray section wouldn't appear at all, and the rest of the text would appear full size. (The comments would probably have to appear at the bottom of the page.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

VBA code to resize linked inlineshape objects

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:46 PM 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. In another question I asked if there were Word options to avoid this behavior. In case there aren't (but I still hope there are) such options, I looked for a way to store my preferred sizes for each picture. I considered several approaches:

 

  1. Find a settable property of an inlineshape object which I could set to the dimensions, and that Word would not overwrite. Alas, I couldn't find one.
  2. Define a document variable that I could relate to a unique, auto-generated identifier of an inlineshape and store the dimensions in the variable. Alas, there does not seem to be an ID for inlineshape objects.
  3. Add a comment to each inlineshape object that contains the dimensions. This is my current preferred choice. I can create a comment, but I can't find it later. The rest of my question deals with this code, but if there are better ways to maintain a set of preferred dimensions for each inlineshape object, I will scrap this code in a heartbeat!

 

The following subroutine expects that a paragraph containing one or more inlineshapes objects has been selected.

If the dimensions are stored as a comment, the code would verify/reset the dimensions to match those in the comment.

If the dimensions comment cannot be found and the width is not approximately 4.9 inches, the code would ask me if the dimensions are right and add a comment if they are. (I haven't decided exactly what I want to do if they are not right, so, for now, I just exit from the subroutine.)

 

The problem is, after adding a comment to the inlineshape, the program does not find it. I suspect that the "If s.Range.Comments.Count > 0" test is not testing the right property. The Count property has a value of 0, even though the document appears to be displaying a comment. Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

  Set para = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
  GraphicSizeFound = False
  For Each s In para.InlineShapes
    If s.Range.Comments.Count > 0 Then

Why can't I type across a complete line in my document?

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:10 PM PST

I have converted a pdf to Word 2010 document and am trying to make corrections. There are section titles, such as "Executive Director". In the pdf, the two words appear on the same line. In the Word document, they appear on two lines. When I try to retype them to the one line, the program will not allow it. It seems as if there is a margin at the end of "Executive". Looking at hidden markings, I see there is a paragraph marking after "Director" and wonder if this has anything to do with it. There are several titles lines within the document, so I need a solution to continue my project. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to type both words on the same line?

Page Positioning Behavior Word 2013

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 11:52 AM PST

I use Word documents to analyze stock market charts. The charts are pasted on separate pages, and in order to compare charts I have used a characteristic of Word to be able to align charts for comparison to one another. I have a macro that zooms a page out to 25% and then zooms back to 100%. In Word 2003 and earlier, this would result in the top of the page being aligned to the top of the pane always with the same relationship. Then the macro would scroll the page down a certain number of lines to have the chart exactly where I wanted it in the window.

I just switched to Office 2013, and I have found that zooming out and back in does not change the position of the top of the document page. The top is in the same vertical position it was in before I used the macro. Is there a way to get the previous behavior back?

Display only checked items in a Word document list, hide unchecked before printing

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 11:08 AM PST

I'm developing a Word document which is designed to allow the user to check work items in the contract template and leaved items unchecked if these work items are not included.

Once the user has gone through all sections and checked the scope of work items, I'm attempting to automate the print function to hide all of the unchecked items (by applying a style which has the hidden font attribute) and then proceed with printing.

I'm using the ActiveX style of checkboxes. I'm attempting to do a For Each looping statement to accomplish this task, but I'm not clear on how to structure it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Word 2010 doc not generating an envelope

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:49 AM PST

A client sent me a document which appears to be the result of a mail merge for a letter to 48 recipients. She wants to select the first address (page 1) and click on the "Create Envelopes" button to get an envelope added. It will not work in the document. All that appears is the Envelopes Options dialog, but no options to add it to the document or anything else.  HOWEVER, when I copy and paste the same address as unformatted text into a blank document and repeat the steps, the dialog opens and the envelope generates as expected. Is this due to the main document being the result of a merge? It is a .DOCX, it appears to only be a year old (according to the properties it was generated in 12/2012)

Thank you in advance for any insight.

Check box content control button wizard!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:27 AM PST

I used Developer to make a user form in Word 2010 and I want to add a Check Box Content Control Button/s that when clicked by the user, he'll be directed to the designated page or pages within the document, and print/save only those page or pages to a new file.  Here is what I want to happen:

Clicking the Check Box Control Button/s will:

  • Bring the user to the designated page/s or section/s and fill-in the form.
  • Save the filled-in page/s to a new filename and to a pre-specified file-sharing location.
  • Print only the first page and the filled-in page/s or section/s.

I am not a programmer and I do not know if this is possible!  Thank you so much for taking the challenge.

 

cropped picture in template --> "uncropped" on creating new document

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:56 AM PST

Hi all

I inserted a logo into a letter template and cropped it top/bottom. When I and most of my co-workers open up a new document based on this template, all seems well. For some users, though, the logo looks uncropped (not aligned any more with the text).

Is this a known bug/oddity? (I haven't found anything suggesting this ...)

Or is there some obscure compatibility or view option to force a picture to display everything?

The obvious workaround would be to crop the picture before inserting into Word, and I agree that this would be cleaner anyway, but still I'm curious if anybody has seen this behaviour as well ...

MS Word 2003 - Lost pictures from template margin

Any response re a solution would be more than welcome. Thanks.

Font name and size box becoming blank for large footnotes in MS Word

The font name and size box become blank when I select the entire footnote

in footnote? Anyone knows what's the issue here.

Insert para mark using Range.Find

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 05:55 AM PST

Suppose initially the entire text of a single paragraph is selected...

    Set rng = Selection.range

    if rng.Find.Execute then
        ...
    end if

At this point (before "foobar") I want to simply insert a paragraph mark.  I know how to do this with regular Selection.Find, but it is not clear what is set by the Range.Find.Execute.

I am trying to understand and benefit from the wondrous wizardry of Ranges, but am having some difficulties, and would I appreciate any advice.

Document no longer showing correct number of pages

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 03:58 AM PST

I have a document that is around 15 pages long however the Page Count at the bottom right only shows there being 6 pages.  When in print layout mode I can see up to page 6 however if I try to scroll further down there is a suttering/repeating pattern of the top of a blank page.  If I use select all I can copy and paste the text into a new doument.  If I switch to Web Layout I can continue to scroll down and see the rest of my document.

 

When attempting to print only 6 pages are listed.

What fonts do i need to keep?

Posted: 02 Aug 2009 07:57 AM PDT

The complete list of what's supplied with Office 2008 is located here:

Those supplied with OS X 10.4 (Panther) are listed here:

However, even though you don't actually use some of them I'd suggest that
you leave them installed - Office as well as OS X - although the OS X

Buggy Office 2008 SP2

Posted: 28 Jul 2009 11:19 AM PDT

I found this page on the Help and How-To section:

I can't open an Office document after I install Office 2008 SP2 Update

<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx?MODE=pv&CTT=PageView&clr=99-0-0&target=abce2ca1-4efe-4bb0-bd21-34ad9242779d1033>

This states this is a known issue with SP2. Here are workarounds:

1. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update or an earlier version.

2. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Office 2004 for Mac with Open XML Converter.

3. Convert your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt, by using Open XML Converter.

4. Save your Word or Excel documents by using 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows.

5. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Microsoft Office 2003 or an earlier version with Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.

6. Use the Apple Time Machine to roll back to Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update or an earlier version.

7. Remove Office manually, reinstall Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac from the original installation media, and then upgrade to Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update. Do not upgrade to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2 (12.2.0) from Microsoft AutoUpdate.

I chose to do Option 6. I am back at pre-SP2, and I can open my documents again.

This buggy service pack should be pulled from Microsoft immediately until these issues can be addressed.

Field validation and formatting

Posted: 21 Aug 2004 04:49 PM PDT

Paul,

There are some unsupported ways of adding events to other fields. it involves
exporting the customizations, then editing the resulting XML. You need to find
an example of how the OnChange is tied to a picklist and then replicate these
nodes on the field in question.

A few warnings though:

- Make sure to keep a backup of the original customization file. This way you
can always put it back the way it was.

- Make sure you are careful with the node names, etc.

We have looked at it for our time billing and there is a nice section
there for service contracts, and then you apply work performed to service
contract and it breaks it down. It keeps a nice history under the Account
/ Contracts area with a breakdown of all the work but it does not tie
into anything for billing. It works well for in house support and things
of that nature but probably isnt going to work for field service since
the Service piece doesnt have a Synch option (SFO = SALES for Outlook not
Service! heh).

MSCRM SFO client won't synchronize

I just had this one. I briefly saw an error about SSPI so I tried running
this at a command prompt:

osql -E -Scrmservername

And I got back

Cannot generate SSPI context

I ran windows\system32\cliconfg.exe and set up the alias to the SQL server
as Named Pipes instead of TCP/IP. Now the OSQL command works and logs in
(-E tells it to use Windows authentication). Went into Outlook - go
offline, works away (a bit slower though).

What's the cause - my DNS is not working correctly. Probably because I am
running against a virtual server. Anyway, check your DNS - might be the
problem.

You need to publish from Deployment manager on the CRM Server and then issue an
IISRESET.

So what's the procedure to "publish the changes"

I've made several modifications to various forms, and none
of them have done anything to the actual forms. I assume
that is because I haven't done this step.

Thanks!

Check that the URL for the .srf files is correct in your application.

I get this error on Outlook clients because there is no valid http path to
..srf files.

GP 8.0 and MS CRM

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 11:09 PM PDT

It all depends. What are you trying to accomplish? If you truly need CRM and
you need it to integrate with GP, then you either need to wait until MS supports
this (which last I heard won't be until CRM 2005) or you need to pursue another
integration solution like George mentioned.

Aside from that, as for whether to update GP is purely a business decision on
your end. The UI improvements are great and it seems fairly stable.

Thanks for the reply... Would you know then if it's ok to
go ahead and upgrade from 7.5 to 8.0 and just implement MS
CRM when it's ready to integrate to 8.0? Thanks

You also need to turn off the pop up blocker built into SP2 thats your
first problem. Instead of applying all the patches you can get by for
awhile by adding the crm server into the trusted sites, but I believe
theres still an issue with running Crystal Reports Im going to verify on
Monday.

Custom fields showing as Number type in Crystal but Picklist in CRM

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 12:03 PM PDT

one of the gotchas of crystal!

lets say you have a field called CFPjohnsfield. This value is a picklist.
When you click insert field you will see this field listed but you will also
see a field with the same name except it will also have the word name added
to the end like this CFPjohnsfieldname. This of course will contain the
actual string rather than just a number

CRM Deployment Manager error

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 07:11 AM PDT

The CRM HOmepage won't ask for a login as it uses integrated security. So it
should inherit the current domain login of the user.

Typically, the anonymous login problem is related to the security of the
services that CRM & SQL are running under. What are those services configured
to use? (ie. Local System vs domain account).

I tried adding 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' user on the

But my concern is that now, crm homepage dosent ask for
login info.

Has anyone read in instalation procedures, to create an
account in sql server for crm to login as a anonymouse
intially ?

Or its supposed to be done by the installation ?

PostURL

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 04:55 AM PDT

No, the PostUrl does just that, it Posts the data in the form object.

How are that values being "displayed"? Since the page is invoked from the
workflow engine, you need to send "messages" to a file (or other log) as typical
form display won't work.

I might be wrong here but does this not come through the QueryString object
