Word and Excel 2013 crash the moment I create or open a document.

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 02:52 PM PST

My MS Word 2013 and MS Excel 2013 aren't working. PowerPoint and OneNote are fine, however, when I try to open or create a doc/workbook, it gives me the following messages:

Microsoft Word Has Stopped Working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem...

then:

This may take several minutes...

then:

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Window will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

This morning I set up a new wireless printer, and Word worked fine. But since I turned the printer off, and it disconnected from my computer, Word and Excel have stopped working. I have re-connected my printer and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Can you install Office Home and Student 2013 during the free 30 day trial/subscription?

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 02:07 PM PST

On December 27, 2013, I installed the free 30 day trial for Office Home and Students 2013 on my laptop. On January 12, 2014, I bought the actual Office Home and Student 2013 and installed it on my laptop while the subscription was still going on, since I didn't think there would be a problem with it at the time. On January 26, 2014, the subscription ended, and ever since then, whenever I open up Word, it says that my subscription has ended and I need to renew my account. This is a problem for me because I already used the product key on January 12, 2014 and I thought that the subscription would end automatically, considering I installed the new product already. I threw away the information containing the product key after I used it, thinking that I wouldn't have to use it again, which was admittedly a really stupid move on my part. I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know how to fix this. I am a high school student, and I am afraid to tell my parents what happened because they might have to buy Office again. Please help me!!!

Can't get Word 2010 to print a #10 envelope on my Epson NS530 printer

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 02:04 PM PST

Using a #10 envelope I am forced to load it into the paper tray in the center of the tray, where the guides close in on the envelope.  When the printer prints however, it prints the addresses (return & send to) as though it was printing on a full sheet of paper, missing virtually all of the envelope. 

I have followed the instructions listed for envelope printing, but the issue remains. I see no settings that I think might resolve the problem ... perhaps someone can help.

Office Document Management

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 01:28 PM PST

We have an office with a staff of 25, each staff member uses Microsoft word and we have had trouble maintaining our set office standards (paragraph and color formatting, layout design, and fonts in particular). In essence, each document that leaves the office has a slightly different appearance, some follow the office standards and others are a complete departure from the template standards. Our workflow presently makes use of word template documents on a central server. For each person and office computer, our IT person has to go to each workstation and make sure that arial is the default font and that our office default quickstyles are set - this is very time consuming and expensive. Our question is: is it possible to have an installer file or some other method so that standards are downloaded to each computer with (more or less) one click?


Specifically and for each workstation, it would be great if the installer was able to: (1) delete all the extraneous and non-relevant stock quickstyles, (2) downloaded templates so they are more easily accessible, (3) download a default quickstyle so that each new blank document has the correct fonts, colors, paragraph spacing, etc, and (4) deleted unnecessary templates. 

Look forward to your help!

Thanks,

Weird symbols showing up next to my header (not paragraph symbols)

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 01:04 PM PST

I am exporting a document to Word from a database program.  It usually exports fine, but today, I started to see these bucket like symbols next to the headers.  It is specific to me and if I send to others they don't see it.  How do I turn this off.  I am pretty sure it is a Word setting.  I would like a solution for both Office 2010 and 2007.

Creating index

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 12:41 PM PST

I have collected years of recipes from friends and cut outs from newspapers and magazines which I have amalgamated into a Word document. I want to create an index under sections, for example Salads, Main Meals, Desserts, but I can't work out how to do this. I'm sure I'm missing the obvious but I would appreciate some assistance.

Word 2013 - Tracking Changes / Show Markup - Question about local vs SkyDrive behaviour.

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 11:49 AM PST

This isn't a critical issue, more of an annoyance.


When editing a Word 2013 document (we don't use the Web version of word), we often enable the "Tracking Changes / Show Markup" feature.  We saw this behaviour today.


User's name is Bob Smith.


Word 2013 Document edited from his My Documents folder on his local hard drive.  It shows the Tracking change history as "Bob Smith" and his changes to the document are highlighted in blue text.


Bob then uploads the document to SkyDrive since we have to share it with multiple authors, then continues to edit the document from the SkyDrive location and NOT his local drive.  His change history now shows his name as "Bob" and subsequent changes to the document are highlighted in RED text, even though he's the same author.


Is there a difference in the way Word is treating his identity?  Are his local edits being identified by his network logon (we use Server 2003 R2) and his SkyDrive edits being identified only by his first name from his O365 account credentials?


How do we get Word to recognize "Bob Smith" and "Bob" as the same author and not change the colour of his edited text?

Word 2007 very slow to open document on server via hyperlink in first document

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 11:08 AM PST

Using Office 2007 Pro Plus on Win7 Pro SP1 64-bit.

I have a lot of Word documents in which I have placed hyperlinks to other Word documents.

Recently, for no apparent reason, the hyperlinks started opening Word documents in Wordpad, even though the file associations clearly showed that Word was the default program. I fixed that by re-entering the file associations manually.

As soon as that was fixed, another problem came up. When I click on a link to a Word document on a local server, it takes over two minutes to open. Meanwhile, the status bar shows "Downloading <file name>." If I open the same document directly (File | Open or by double-clicking on the file icon), it opens with no delay.

If I click on a link to a Word document on my PC hard drive, it opens immediately. If I have a hyperlink in an Excel worksheet to a Word document, it opens immediately regardless of where it is located, so it appears to be specific to Word, not to Office generally.

I've tried the following possible solutions that I found on the Internet, none of which worked:
  • Repaired the Office installation
  • Added server locations to the Trust Center trusted locations and allowed trusted locations on my network
  • Disabled and re-enabled offline files
  • Unchecked advanced Internet options to "Check for publisher certificate..." and "Check for server certificate..."

One suggestion I did not try was to uninstall the Microsoft Office File Validation Add-In. Other PCs on my network have this add-in, and they do not have the problem.


So I am out of ideas. Does anyone have a better one?


Thanks!

TEMPLATE ICONS turn to Blank (X) Icons after use - how/why/Whats the fix?

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 10:42 AM PST

Hello!
Suddenly, for no reason I can understand, my Microsoft Word 2007 is acting up.
I have a number of templates I utilize during the course of the month.
Just two days ago, I noticed that when I clicked on the little Ball at the top of the Windows bar, and click on NEW (document) a window opens as usual, showing a column of templates on the left, and then a column with two rows; the top being Blank and RECENT Documents and the Bottom of that column shows RECENTLY USED TEMPLATES.

Its in THAT area (Recently Used Templates) that I have noticed that once I use a template, the icon remains (with the lettering under it identifying it) however the picture of it looks like is MISSING! and the Icon is now replaced with a smaller greyed version, with the top right "dog eared" and it has a big painted X in the bottom third of it.

Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it please.

Thank You

Strange issue with inline images in Word 2013, Compatibility Mode

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 10:27 AM PST

There are times when I need to use Compatibility Mode in Word 2013 (there is a very convoluted, but real reason, and another topic for another day).  When I paste inline images with a border, the top border is cut off both onscreen and in print.  The same image looks fine when the document is saved with the new file format (but, as alluded to earlier, I have other problems).


This is more of a curiosity thing:  has anyone else seen this happen?  Aside from moving to the new format, can you think of a workaround?


Thanks in advance,


Terry

Word 2010 - Document Properties page prints each time

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 10:12 AM PST

I have un-checked "Print Document Properties" which solves the issue but then a week or so later it starts again.  When I look at the Print options, "print Document Properties" is again checked.  I know I don't do this.  Is there some other Word default setting that is re-setting this option?

Thanks!

Visual Basic - including the document header in macro

Need telephone # for MS Office Support

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:58 AM PST

Does anyone have the actual telephone # for Microsoft Office.com Support:  I have 2013 Office Suite, have a problem with Word 2013 (purchased from MS 1 month ago) and when the "support tech."  could not answer my question (or would not) and I asked for a supervisor, he hung up on me!!  I'd like to call them  or have some means of filing a complaint. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Why won't a selected set of cells from Excel paste as a picture in a Word file in 2013 like it used to in all previous versions?

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:55 AM PST

Every month I produce my company's invoices in Excel, including formatting and totals etc.  I then copy a selected set of the cells and paste-picture them into the Word file containing the rest of the invoice information.  I have been doing this for four years.


I have just upgraded my computers which included commuting to Microsoft 8.1 and the 2013 suite of Office products.


Suddenly, if I try to paste-picture from the selected Excel cells only some of the cells come across, or none, or some other corruption that is making production of invoices this way impossible.


What is happening?  How can I resolve this?


I confirm that I have no add-ins operating, and in all other respects Office 2013 seems to be working normally.

Office 2013 Word is saved to Windows 7 configuration, but my Windows is 8.1

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:53 AM PST

My Office Word 2013 worked well until I tried to upload Word 2007 discs to Word 2013.  Somehow, my new Office 2013 became locked in "Windows 7"--when I have Windows 8.1.  I need to know how to reset Word 2013 to Wins 8.1 settings, and how to save those 8.1 setting.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired (both online and offline) Office 2013, but always get a message that it needs repair, and I cannot use Word to create or open any documents.

PROBLEM: New Text Box, Layout Options feature Discards Ctrl keystrokes

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 08:03 AM PST

Dear Microsoft Office Team/Community:

 

 

PROBLEM:

I have a set of productivity macros essential to my work that Word (and Excel) 2013 break where Office displays the new formatting/layout icon next to an object.  The macros I use are activated using a  Ctrl-<key> combination.   The Ctrl key is being intercepted by this new layout icon, changing the focus unwantedly, and discarding the key stroke, as illustrated below:

 

 

This causes the a fly-out of the Layout options which grabs the focus and completely throws away the keyboard  keystrokes preventing activation of the macro.

 

 

RESULT/IMPACT:

1) Completely prevents use of the Ctrl-key macros I use in text boxes for Word (they are fine in the rest of word) and in a selection of cells in Excel.

2) From the usability point of view, I can see how it helps a new user but for keyboard productivity, those who try to stay on the home-row the mouse is used rarely except in moving objects longer distances on the page.

3) For the moment, I have re-installed Office 2010 where this was not a problem, but this prevents me from moving forward.

 

QUESTION/REQUEST:  

1) Is there a way to turn this feature off? If there is, I have not found it.  

2) If not please could provide one in a fix?

 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide in advance.

TOC - CUSTOM DESIGN

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 06:41 AM PST

  I have a TOC that I want to add a symbol after the page number.


This is the scenario -


Our shop workers are given a hard copy of a manual, to which they must read and understand each section. 

  I want the worker and his trainer to be able to check off each section - initial and date - that they have completed the training tasks within each section of the manual by using the TOC. 


I am only going to keep the sign off TOC in their file.  Not the entire manual.  

 


how do I include in the TOC a spot for each person to "sign" off.


Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Linking/Auto-completing Text Form Fields

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 06:24 AM PST

Hello,

Our company uses several multi-page documents with Legacy Text Form fields.  Certain fields contain the same information (such as Name, Mailing Address, Account Number, etc.), and they need to appear on each page of the document for auditing purposes.  Is there any way to somehow link these fields in such a way that if you enter data in one field, the other fields will automatically populate with the same data?  For example, if a three-page document has a Name text field on each page, and I enter/change a Name on page 2, the Name on page 1 and 3 will be updated to be the same Name on Page 2?

MS-WOPI with authentication

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 05:31 AM PST

After reading this blog article, I managed to implement a WOPI host based on a SAP server document store. It's working well but I wonder if it is possible to let the WAC server do any kind of authentication when calling the WOPI host to get file metadata (checkFileInfo) or file content. Is there any possibility to put a client certificate on the WAC server and have it send to my WOPI host or do the Office Web Apps support SAML authentication? Of course the access token and access token ttl are in place to secure the WOPI endpoint on the SAP server, but customers request additional authentication of the WAC server against their SAP system.


We tried to put a client certificate on the WAC server IIS, but couldn't get it to be sent with the WOPI requests. Sadly I found nothing on the web, any help would be great! Thank you in advance!

Dashed borders around tables render as solid when converting to PDF

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 01:05 AM PST

I have a defined format for many documents which have all been created in MS word 2007.  Never any problem creating PDFs of  these using ADOBE XI Pro.

Updated to MS 2013 and now when converting the same doc to PDF all dashed borders around tables render as solid lines. The only time they render correctly is if I PRINT to PDF.  Printing to PDF is not an option as I create batches of many documents at one time, so would be to time consuming.  This was an issue when i considered upgrading 2007 to 2010 a couple of years ago, so caused me to delay upgrade.. upgrade is now required.

 

I have a sample of a document if required.

Multiple chapters in one file - is it possible?

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 06:56 PM PST

I have been tasked with taking 6 chapters in 6 separate files and merging them into one file. I am having problems and am wondering if it is possible to do this with automatic outline numbering of headings and automatic figure and table numbering. I put each chapter in a separate section and followed Shauna Kelly's guidelines for creating a multilevel list to number the headings. It worked well for the first chapter and section, but when I started numbering the second section, things got fouled up. The multilevel list lost its link to the heading styles.

 

Can someone tell me if what I am trying to do is possible, or if there is some other way of doing it with automatic numbering for multiple chapters in a single file?

 

To make matters worse, I am using Word 2013 but I am having to save the file in Word 97/2003 format and work in compatibility mode.

 

Thanks,

Allen

How to adjust margins with greater granularity than default? (grid-related?)

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 05:11 PM PST

In Word, I have a sentence followed by a bulleted list.  Under that, I have a 2-column-1-row table with three bulleted sentences per column.  For the life of me, I can't get all the bullets to line up vertically.  The first set of bullets is about 1 pixel off vertically from the bullets in the table.  If I try to move the margin for either one, there's not enough granularity to move just 1 pixel.  It always jumps 3 or 4 pixels.  Is there a way to modify the granularity of the underlying grid so that I can move one of the margins just 1 pixel over?




Text looks like the following:


Regular sentence blah blah.

   * doobee

   * doobee


Regular sentence and then bullets below are inside a table.


   * bulleted text inside each column     * bulleted text

   * bulleted text                                     * bulleted text

Keyboard zoom does not work

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 04:41 PM PST

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914979

THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!!   The Zoom function on the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard doesn't work. This happens repeatedly. The below "solutioN" doesn't work. I have done all of the below with computer restarts, and no change. Stupid Microsoft. Nothing Microsoft does works right. BTW, I don't know where to post this. There seems to be no forum for posts of this type. One more kudo to MS.

This problem may occur if the speed in the IntelliType Pro software for the Zoom slider key is not set to Fast.

To resolve this problem, increase the speed for the Zoom slider key in the IntelliType software. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type control in the Open box, and then click Keyboard.
  2. On the Keyboard properties page, click Zooming.
  3. Use the pointing device to click, hold, and then move the Select a zooming speed slider control to Fast.

    Note Click to select the following check boxes if they are not already selected:
    • Enable zooming
    • Enable accelerated zooming (zoom faster the longer you hold the zoom slider)

This doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I type anything without Word 2010 trying to "help" me?

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 04:28 PM PST

All I want to do is type what I want, where I want, without any kind of "style" or "formatting".  I've tried to put everything back to default and that is fine.  But every time I try to type some notes or a letter or whatever, Word 2010 tries to "help" me.  It's annoying and frustrating.  I hit the "enter" button to "return" to the next line and I get an extra space and a new "style".  Please, someone, tell me how to turn off or "ignore" the "styles" so I can just type what I want, in whatever font I want, in whatever type size I want.  Please help.  Thank you!!!

In Word, how do I duplicate an entry in a field in multiple fields vs entering the same text 10 times

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 04:25 PM PST

I apologize up front because I 'm sure this has been asked and answered in the past, but I do not use Word often and I'm not even sure what terms to use to ask the question properly to do a search.

I'm using MS Office 2007 and two of our contracted employees did not have their contracts extended and I was left taking over a Word document one lady used to send people account information for conference calls. There are about 25 fields (not sure of the proper name for the fields...) that need to be filled in, but most of it is duplicated as the total number of unique cells is around 5. In Excel I could put the customer's name in Cell A1 and for each duplicated cell just put "=A1", and when I print the document as a PDF the values are there and no one is the wiser. How could I do this same type of function in Word? 

Thanks,


Troy

ANONYMOUS has already given you some good answers, there's one more

read by the CD writer even though the CD reader cannot read them.

I'm not sure why this might be?

Last, if you have an older CD that can't be replaced see if you can
read it on someone else's machine with a CD writer and if so, ask them
to burn you a copy.

Reinstalling Office never overwrites any user data. It may mess with your
mail profile but all you need to do is create a new profile and configure it
to use your current .pst file.

Updates not working

Posted: 14 Apr 2006 08:36 PM PDT

This issue arose becuase one day Excel just stopped working. When I tried to
do a reinstall I got the error message shown. So I went to both Windows
Update and MS Update to see if maybe an update would correct the problem but
none of the updates would install. I decied to try a Windows restore to an
earlier time when I knew things were working and I got Excel back...but now
I get no updates and can't even uninstall to do a fresh install.

In excel, the OFFSET function can help you, you can use this formula as following steps:

1. In a blank cell C1, please enter this formula: =OFFSET($A$1,COLUMNS($A1:A1)-1+(ROWS($1:1)-1)*6,0), see screenshot:

doc-convert-column-to-rows3

Note: A1 is the started cell, *6 stands for the number of cells that you want to have in each row. Meanwhile you must start this formula in the columnC.

2. Press Enter key, and select cell C1, drag the fill handle from C1 acrossto H1, while C1:H1 are selected and then copy down as far as you need. Seescreenshot:

As they are formulas, when you copy them, you must copy and paste them as values.

There are some limitations of this formula, maybe, it is difficult for beginners to apply. Here I will continue to introduce you an easy way to deal with this problem.

Office 2011

Posted: 10 Aug 2010 04:21 PM PDT


Want to say that I'm impressed with 2011. Many things on my wish list
were done to improve older versions*the tiny Style window in Word is
better than the Windows version, Outlook doesn't make you scroll though
a long list of fonts to get to what you want, and the software plays
better with the Mac OS.

I use Office for Windows 2003, 2007, and 2010 and Office for Mac 2004
and 2011. My preference is on the Mac side but I get my work done with
all versions.

Thank you MS.

Office can't find my MY DOCUMENTS files anymore?

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 02:03 PM PST

Strange things have started to happen recently to an older PC using Win XP and we can't figure this out. 
Thought perhaps it might be due to a virus but have scanned the PC and it seems completely clean (also use MSE as AV)?

Here's the problem:
Office (Word & Excel) files are normally saved to MY DOCUMENTS. If we use EXPLORER to open MY DOCUMENTS there are a number of folders present which have all of the required files (both Excel and Word etc.). However, if we open WORD first and then try to open a file we know is inside a folder but try to access it via the OPEN FOLDER option on the ribbon through MY DOCUMENTS then the folders ALL appear empty regardless of which ones we select?? We can confirm that the files within the folders in MY DOCUMENTS are there and viable when accessed through WINDOWS EXPLORER but not through any OFFICE applications. This also happens with EXCEL. 

Should we uninstall Office and re-install or is there something else to try first?

Anyone have an idea as to what's going on or how to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

I am wondering if anyone has come across following issue. When opening word documents occasionally the word document will not open correctly. It show up in the task-bar but without the contents of the word document. Closing down the word document and reopen it works but it seems to be happening quiet often.

There is no Error message. Example of the issue below:

how to stop the lag/freezing in word 2013

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 10:50 AM PST

I have been researching on ways to prevent Word 2013 from freezing or lagging behind my typing. 

1.)I have tried to the accepting the all changes suggestion but to no avail
2.) I do not have any add-ins
3.) my computer is up to date. I am running Windows 7 
4.) I have disabled my hardware graphics accelerator. The speed and performance of my computer should not be an issue.

Like everyone else that is writing about the same problem, previous versions of office do not exhibit the problem.

I have read that I should alter my registry but I rather not do that. There must be a better approach.

Styles and set confusion

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 09:53 AM PST

I have just upgraded to office 2013 and although there is good selection of style sets 2007 isn't there (Design tab). So I went back to 2007 to see if I could save the default style and import it into 2013. But I have discovered that the default in my 2007 install is now the same as the default in 2013!! Ive lost the 2007 default.


So I opened up an old document and it was still typed up in 2007 default. So I went to options and saved the style set as "My default style set". Went to 2013 and opened it up (imported it somehow... don't remember how) and I now have "My default style set" in the list of style sets. I jump back to the Home tab and find that the colours and sizes etc are correct but the fonts are still the 2013 default.


Namely, I cannot shake Calibri Light (headings). I desperately want Cambria. I know I could highlight the text an change it manually but I'm typing up hundreds of pages each month and need my formatting to be correct all the way... by making it default.


Please could someone explain to me how I can use the 2007 style set in 2013?


Thanks

Numbering of a Quick Style Heading Level Changing Apparently at Random

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 09:44 AM PST

I have a quick style set that includes numbered heading levels. Here is an image of what the heading levels look like when they're correctly formatted:

I use a list style to coordinate the numbering of the headers. When the style set is working, it's wonderful, but every once in a while, Heading Level 4 (e.g. 1.1.1.1) changes to a bullet point instead of a string of numbers, specifically an a white rectangle, similar to this

The style will work perfectly for weeks at a time, and then suddenly Heading Level 4 (not 1 or 2 or 3) will bet set to this white rectangle. I can generally fix it by opening up the list style and re-linking the level 4 number to Heading Level 4. But I don't know why it keeps resetting in the first place. It's very frustrating.

Any ideas?

Lock picture alignment if anchor is moved

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 09:19 AM PST

How can I lock the picture alignment settings when the anchor is moved, or the picture is copy/pasted? I want the anchor to lock on to the new paragraph, but retain the original settings (i.e. horizontal alignment - right relative to column; vertical alignment - 0" below paragraph).
There's a setting for 'Lock anchor', but not for the reverse situation.
This seems pretty obvious, but I can't find a setting for it.
Thanks for your help!

Word objects still anchored to text when "Fix position on page" is selected!?

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 08:36 AM PST

I have a document with a long text.

On some pages, in addition to the main text, I have text boxes.

I want the position of the text boxes to be fixed on the page, completely independently of the main text. I selected "square" text wrapping and "Fix position on page" for all text boxes. Nevertheless, they still have anchors associated with a particular paragraph of the main text, and the main text does not flow freely. Rather, awkward gaps appear in the text to enforce that a text box and its anchor end up on the same page.

How do I get the position of the text boxes to be actually independent of the main text, with no anchoring? All options that Word provides seem to indicated that I should get this behavior, but I don't.

Some additional information:
- My text boxes contain text and pictures.
- There's a glitch with the display of the anchor handles described above: Bizarrely, they are only visible while I change the size of the text boxes in question. As soon as I release the mouse button, they vanish. So I can't even click on them to change their position, but I know they are there because they are displayed when I change the size of the text box in question.

Thanks.

Counting Rows that hold a Defined Word in a Word Table

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 07:53 AM PST

Hi,


I am trying to count the Rows of a Word Table.

The table is made you of 2 Columns, others may have extra Columns, but this should not affect the Macro I'm trying to write and asking for help on.


I have created a Dummy Document to create the Marco in before I add it to my Main Document.

Here is the Dummy Data...


93.

* Batteries not included.

62.

'10'.

VHS.

10 things I hate about you.

196.

12:01.

DVD.

13 Ghosts (The 1st version, 1959, Need a Blue & Red viewer as in 3D).

BRD

 


 

                      Total VHS's:   { DOCVARIABLE  VHS  \# "#,##0" \* MERGEFORMAT }

                     Total DVD's:   { DOCVARIABLE  DVD  \# "#,##0" \* MERGEFORMAT }

                     Total BRD's:   { DOCVARIABLE  BRD  \# "#,##0" \* MERGEFORMAT }

      Total Videoed to Keep:   { DOCVARIABLE  V2K  \# "#,##0" \* MERGEFORMAT }


There is only 1 Table in the Word Document, This one is only 2 Columns, others my have more, but that wont have anything to do with this Macro.

What  I wish to do is Count the Rows of the table that has the Word "VHS." in Column 1.

Then Count the Rows that has the Word "DVD.", then "BRD.", then to add these three together, then take that total off the Total number of Rows of the Table.

I then would like to place the answers into the TextFields as shown under the Table above?


The layout of the TextFields may change in time, and maybe even put into the "Footer".


Here is the Macro I've created, but cannot workout why it is not working...

Sub Counting()
'Count Number of Films/Series I Have
    'Settings
        'Names
        Dim WhichRow As Long
        Dim WhichTable As Long
        Dim VHS As Long

        Dim BRD As Long
        Dim V2K As Long
   
        'Defaults
        VHS = 0
        DVD = 0
        BRD = 0
        V2K = 0
   
        'System
        StatusBar = "Please Wait...  Getting Totals..."

    'Collecting Information

        For WhichRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
            'Working Out the Total Number of Original Video Tapes
            If .Cell(WhichRow, 1).Range.Text = "VHS." Then
                    VHS = VHS + 1
            End If

            'Working Out the Total Number of Original DVDs
            If .Cell(WhichRow, 1).Range.Text = "DVD." Then
                    DVD = DVD + 1
            End If

            ''Working Out the Total Number of Video Tapes that I have Recorded
            If .Cell(WhichRow, 1).Range.Text = "BRD." Then
                    BRD = BRD + 1
            End If
        Next WhichRow
    End With
    With ActiveDocument
        .Variables("VHS").Value = VHS
        .Variables("DVD").Value = DVD
        .Variables("BRD").Value = BRD
        .Variables("V2K").Value = .Tables(1).Rows.Count - (VHS + DVD + BRD)
        .PrintPreview
        .ClosePrintPreview
    End With

    'Only Needed for Testing...
    Testing = MsgBox("                   Total VHS's: " & VHS & vbLf _
        & "                 Total DVD 's: " & DVD & vbLf _
        & "                  Total BRD 's: " & BRD & vbLf _
        & "===================" & vbLf _
        & "Total Videoed to Keep: " & V2K, vbOKOnly, "Testing...")

    'System Reset
    StatusBar = ""

Any help or advice will be a great help.

Embed linked images in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 07:29 AM PST

In an earlier version of Word, I was able to copy blog posts from my Blogger blog and paste them into a Word 2003 document to save a backup copy of the post. All the images would appear in the document. Today, I tried to do that in my new Word 2013 program and it worked for the first few documents, then I hit a road block. Now anytime I try to copy and paste a post with linked images, the image area is blank in my Word document. The image caption will appear, but no image. For the images without captions, there is nothing there. I can't even click in the spot where the image should be. It just goes to the next line of text. (OS: Windows 7) How can I embed the images in my Word document?

Linking Dropdown to a Text

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 07:10 AM PST

I want there to be a drop down of the list of branches (Texas, OK, FL...etc) and then, based on the branch they choose, for the box at the top right corner to generate that branch's address. This will cut down on discrepencies when several people are filling out the form. How do I do this in word? Is this possible. Please tell me step by step if so. I prefer layman's terms :) as I am unfamiliar with the techy verbage that has been used to answer this question previously. It's all foreign to me.

Word 2013 will not launch center screen.

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 06:48 AM PST

Not really limited to Word 2013, but word does not launch center screen, or even within the screen - it currently defaults 3/4 off screen (not maximized) and, if I have documents already open, opening another will force even the originally open document to move off the screen.  I've "resized", closed and reopened but even that is not working like it did in Office 2010.  It appears to be just a WORD issue....Excel and PowerPoint work well - seems they forgot something in code that would force center screen launch.  Anyway - it's just an annoying quirk that I would love to be able to resolve - Ideas??


Well - it seems that if you SNAP documents (one doc to either side or both sides of screen) if you close all out and launch word again, that is when problem occurs.  If you work MAXIMIZED and close word when MAXIMIZED - it reopens just fine....so I guess I can continue working that way..... unless there is some words of wisdom from the community..

plain text to multi level list in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 04:14 AM PST

Hi,

I'm a lecturer who uses predefined assessment material provided in PDF format. This includes assessment questions for multiple tests. To ues these questions, I have to manually copy and paste each question from the PDF file into a formatted assessment paper. This is a real time waster.

If I copy all the questions into a plain text document, the result looks like this.....

1 Two stages are missing in the software development process below.
Choose the option that correctly identifies the missing stages.
analysis, X, implementation, testing, documentation, Y, maintenance
A X = design, Y = feedback
B X = coding, Y = evaluation
C X = design, Y = evaluation
D X = evaluation, Y = design
2 Which of the following is...... etc

I would like to be able to paste this into word, and convert the list to a multi level list using the numbers and letters as shown, without having to manually work through each individual line.

Can this be done?

How can I postion a table and a excel chart side by side on the page

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 08:45 PM PST

I am currently doing my economics homework and I have to create a table and a chart for the data which I have done without any issues but they aren't all that big and I want to position them side by side on the page and Word will not allow that to happen. I have taken a course on using office at school and I am pretty proficient at using it but I can not figure out how to do this and I can imagine how it would look on paper and the answer is much better taking up less sheets of paper because yes even though we have a elearning system and some teacher expect you to submit all of your work online there are still some dinosaurs that want you to print out and hand in the assignments. (Not a very economical policy from an economics teacher wasting paper and ink physical resources when we could all submit electronically and save both). If anyone know how to do this let me know I would appreciate it since having my document not looking professional is bugging me.

How do I correct a break in the middle of a paragraph?

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 06:11 PM PST

I'm typing an essay for my English class, and the paper needs be in MLA format-- 1" margins on the top, bottom, left, and right.  I have set up the document correctly, but as I'm typing I noticed that the bottom margin is about 1.5".  I turned off the widow/orphan control, and it didn't work.  I also unmarked the "Keep with next," "Keep lines together," and "Page break before" check boxes.

I also tried retyping the essay on my iPad, using Pages.  The same problem is occurring, and I don't know why.  Nothing is working for me.  I already Googled every solution imaginable.

I really need help ASAP, because this paper is due tomorrow.
I haven't had a chance to talk to my teacher because of final exams, and I don't see her until tomorrow.

Can run Word 2003 (stand-alone program) and Word 2007 via Office Professional 2007 --on same computer

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 06:06 PM PST

I have to install Office Professional 2007 tomorrow for compatibility with work program upgrade.  I am currently using Word 2003 (*I purchased Word 2003 as a stand-alone version, not part of Office Suite software).  Will the install process for Office Professional 2007 delete/remove Word 2003 ?   I don't use AutoCorrect, but I do use AutoText extensively and have lots of AutoText entries I need to ensure get saved/backed up for transfer to Word 2007.  

Of note, my question is regarding both 2003 and 2007 on the same computer.  Also, is there a quick process to back up on my computer and/or a flash drive, and then transfer/upload the 2003 AutoText entries into Word 2007 AutoText?

Really appreciate any assistance.  PJ

paragraph seperating, started by typing ***, dotted line

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 05:36 PM PST

I am working with WIndows 8.1 on a Microsoft Surface. In word I typed three astericks in a row, creating paragraph separator. I can't get rid of it in borders, I can't delete it, and I can't right click on it. It is invincible and multiplying all over my page.


How do I get rid of it?

Word 2013 Spell Check Question

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 05:08 PM PST

Okay, in the older Word, when you have a misspelled word, you could copy the right word and paste it over the wrong word. Well, in Word 2013, when you right-click to paste, if the word is misspelled, it won't let you do that. Is there some way that I can fix that?

Word 2013, Table of contents with numbers

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 04:27 PM PST

Geeez, I know once I figure this out it will be sweet, but until then!!!
I am attempting to create a table of contents on a previous document.  I have removed all formatting and then create TOC for my titles (2.0 Reference Documents, 3.0 Terms and Definitions ect)  I can't get the numbers to hang they move and the letters move too when I am trying to get them in the location I need them. I would like the title to line up with the body copy and the numbers to hang to the left.  Can someone tell me exactly how to do this?

I go to styles and click a style, make adjustments to size etc use numbered bullets to add the numbering and then I am not able to make adjustments to the title.

How it should look...
  1. Reference Documents
          Body Copy Body CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody Copy

How it looks
  1. Reference Documents
                    Body Copy Body CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody CopyBody Copy

The numbering will sometimes  be long 8.3.2.1 so how can I edit the numbering to reflect that?

Thank you, details please...

word 2013 turn on scroll bar in document and nav pane

Posted: 29 Jan 2014 04:04 PM PST

In Word 2013 how do you turn on the scroll bars in the document and nav pane so they always stay on? In the document section it comes on as I mouse over the document assuming the window is active and the nav pane does the same but I find myself looking for it just the same, plus the flashing on/off is very annoying. Is there a way I can turn it on and it will always stay on? I fail to see the benefit of having it turn off.
