Microsoft Word - Language bar is lost when I open the "Save as..." dialog in Word 2013

Microsoft Word - Language bar is lost when I open the "Save as..." dialog in Word 2013


Language bar is lost when I open the "Save as..." dialog in Word 2013

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 10:46 AM PST

I have a Windows 8.1 installation, having upgraded from Windows 7 and Windows 8 respectively. I have a language bar with the following layouts:

1) English US
2) Greek
   a) Greek
   b) Greek Polytonic

After installing Office 2013, whenever I open the "Save as..." dialog in Word 2013, the language bar is lost and I can only type in English.

To fix the issue, I found this workaround, which is rather frustrating, though:
I go to the language options and I set Greek as the default language, then I set English back as the default language and this re-enables the language bar.

I have waited for Windows and Office updates for 2 months now but nothing fixes it. I need a solution, as this is very frustrating and time consuming.

Thank you.

Table of Contents Entry Fields

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 10:18 AM PST

I'm trying to create a table of contents by using field codes in Word 2007 on Windows 8.1.

When I try to insert a {TC} field code using the drop down menu via "Quick Parts", the field code never shows up (I am using Alt-9 and can view all the other hidden text and other field code types).

Next, I tried to manually insert a {TC} field code, but whenever I finished typing the "C" in "TC", the field code disappears and I can no longer input keystrokes unless I move the cursor or do a control-command of some sort.

This is driving me crazy and makes no sense.  Please help!

  • It does not matter if I am in Word or a web page (like here) my curser bounces all over the place and puts my typing in the middle of other words/lines.  I disabled smart curser but it still does it. Here is an  exampatter if aim anot mle. It is driving me nuts and I cannot write. How do I fix this. I type 80 wpm but with this issue that has me pulling hair out it's more like 3.

Excel and Word keep shutting down

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 08:19 AM PST

I have Office University and it has worked perfectly fine for months until today. Now, whenever I try to open an Excel or Word file, I get an error message that says, "A problem has caused this program to stop working," and that I'll be notified of any solutions. Then the program closes.  I used Word all day yesterday without a single problem, but today I can't even keep it open for longer than 15 seconds. I've tried regular repair and Internet repair; I rebooted my computer and flat-out shut it down and restarted it--nothing has helped.  All the other Office programs are working fine. The operating system is WIndows 8; laptop is a Dell Inspiron 14R (i5).

Word 2013 can't publish images on blogger via blog post

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 07:43 AM PST

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!


Okay so I'm experiencing some problems with Microsoft Word 2013. I'm not kinda sure if its MS Word problem or the blogger itself.
When I'm trying to insert an image via Word's blog post, it says that the post is published, but there is no image on the blog post whatsoever, only letters and a blank space for the reserved image.
What seems to be the problem? Does anyone know? Please help me!

Installed Software Expired?

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 07:10 AM PST

My laptop is a little over a year old and it is saying my subscription to Microsoft word and excel have expired.  Why would that happen if they were installed on the laptop when I got it?  Do I have to buy new software?

Indent margins in an outline

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 12:06 AM PST

I am typing an outline using Word 2013. Using a preset outline in Word, it keeps changing the indent margin. I am spending more time trying to fix that then I am typing information. I liked the tabs ruler at the top of the page in the older versions of Word or Works because I could just slide the tab to adjust the margins. Any ideas on how to fix this?




Trying to find out how to save from Office 365 to Dropbox

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 08:09 PM PST

I have been using Dropbox for some time to collect my docs from home and office in one place. I have a Dropbox app on my new laptop with Windows 8.1 and Office 365. However, I cannot seem to find a way to save to Dropbox from my new Office suite.  There is a function under File to "Add a location" for saving files, but it does not seem to permit really adding any other location in addition to Office 365 and SkyDrive. I begin to fear they are learning from Apple and refusing to "play well with others." Since I already have many docs on Dropbox, this is not welcome.
 
Any fixes?  Thanks for your help!

Equation Editor in 2010: How to type text after the equation on the same line

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 06:05 PM PST

I want to label an equation the usual way (such as: eq. 1) to the right of an equation. However, after I write the equation, exit the equation box and press the space bar, the equation shifts to the far left and the font changes to a smaller font.  Does anyone know how to do this simple thing?

Playing back Audio notes recorded on a Word document on Mac over on Word on a Windows PC

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 04:01 PM PST

I am a learning disabled student who is using Office 365 University edition on a PC.  I have a a note taker who also has Office 365 University edition with Word, but on a Mac. She sits in the classroom and takes notes for me using the Audio Notes feature. This feature allows her to type notes for me and record the audio of the lecture at the same time.  Then when I get the Word document file from her I can review the notes and listen to the exact point in the lecture where the instructor was talking.  I am able to use her files on my Mac mini, but when I try to use the same file on my Windows PC, there doesn't seem to be a way play back the audio.  I can't seem to get s straight answer to as to whether this is

a. Not possible to do
b. Possible to do but I need to apply a fix
c. Possible to do, but I am not using it correctly or need another piece of software installed

Additionally there is some confusion at Microsoft about this capability versus something called Microsoft OneNote.  I don't know if they are compatible and can't find any information about it, I eventually landed on this page, but can't find an answer. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote-help/upgrade-to-onenote-2013-HA102749817.aspx?CTT=1     I am willing to install OneNote if it in fact will open the Word file that my friend has sent me with the lecture notes and audio in it.

If you answer this question please forward this answer to the AnswerTech people for the Microsoft Windows and Mac PC support groups because neither of them knew what I was talking about.  Please also forward to the Microsoft Pro Support group and the University365 support groups who handles the activations.

Thanks

Different line layouts

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 08:47 PM PST

I have noticed many times that as I switch between Draft View and Print Layout View, the number of characters on a line changes, with Draft mode putting more text on each line. (In both modes, the text measures 4.7" inches wide, correct for 6" page width and 0.5" margins and .3" gutter. The letter spacing is Normal.) This inconsistency makes it hard to do several kinds of checks at once as I go through the document. Does anyone know why this exists and if there is any way around it?

You can download a live CD such as the latest Knoppix Live CD, and burn that
from Windows. It's very helpful., as are the installation CD's for most
Linux distributions that have a "rescue" boot mode.

Issue with Debian 3.1 on Intel x86 with 5 Terrabyte in a raid System

Posted: 12 Aug 2005 03:40 AM PDT

I'm not familiar with this board so please excuse me if my answers
(questions!) display my ignorance.

You installed but cannot reboot? Does your boot kernel include support
for this RAID? The install kernel may load the RAID driver after it has
booted so the same kernel might not be directly bootable. Of if it
needs to load modules, it might need to boot into a ramdisk first. Have
you tried building a custom kernel with the RAID drivers linked in (not
modules?)

If it turns out that the kernel simply cannot boot from the RAID, you
might try a floppy or CDROM boot. I had a home setup with one IDE drive
and a second drive on an HTP370 controller. It dual booted Win2K and
never did figure out how to get LILO or GRUB working, so I used a boot
floppy with a boot option "root=/dev/hd??". The only thing it read from
the floppy was the kernel, so once it was booted, it was a complete
hard disk based system. Something like that might work for you.

HTH,
hank

If you use fdisk instead of Disk Druid, you can partition your drive
without an extended partition, but then you can't have more than four
partitions. I see no reason not to have an extended partition.

When not running an X environment, you can do a lot with a 486 or P1
(including using it as a printserver :). Just download a netinstall iso
from http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst. Your pc needs 32 MB of ram
thoubh in order that the installer will run (i don't know how old your pc
really is ;)).

Good luck with it, and if you have debian specific questions, you
could go to linux.debian.user, it's community is very friendly, (although
i'm sure that, if needed, you will receive help here too).

Exactly, looks like they are already suffered serious brain
damage from running doze in addition to watching TV soaps. That's
what happens if systems never ever require any effort from their
users, but perhaps this is purpose? Keeping people as dump as

If I remember or get an error on something else I'll let you know, I

Office for Mac, Snow Leopard, and Exchange 2003 Microsoft Office for Mac

Office for Mac, Snow Leopard, and Exchange 2003 Microsoft Office for Mac


Office for Mac, Snow Leopard, and Exchange 2003

Posted: 13 Sep 2009 09:54 AM PDT

Hi,

if you buy Office 2008, you can use Entourage to connect to Exchange 2003. A
newer version of Entourage, Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition, can be
downloaded for free, and it offers much better support for Exchange, but it
will only work with the latest Exchange 2007 server.

Entourage does not use ActiveSync to connect to Exchange, but WebDAV, so
some features may not be supported. Long story short: Entourage 2008 will do
the job.

I'm glad it's working in the new User. Testing and finding the problem in
your User's account is difficult and can be very time consuming.

See these two links to help start the troubleshooting process.

Troubleshooting Your User Account for a Problem

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/test_user.html>

I'm not confident that your problems are going to be fixed by a Snow Leopard
update. Not all utilities are Snow Leopard ready so be careful before using
that they are updated.

Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner

<http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html>

Font Finagler (read their compatibility note)
<http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/>

For good measure, reboot using Safe Boot. Hold down the Shift key when
booting up. This will flush some caches and do some extra cleanup. After it
completes, reboot again normally.

Let us know if you fix your issues.
