Quick Parts and Footers

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 02:56 PM PST

I am working on a document that will use Quick Parts to help build the final reports. I have 5 sections A - E, each with a separate footer showing the section name and page number. These sections are always used with about 75 Quick parts ranging from a few words to 8 line paragraphs to build the final document. These work fine when I have tried to insert in the document.

 

The problem is there are 2 rather large sections (one 5 pages and the other is 9) that have to be inserted after C and after D if needed. The Section C, Addendum I works fine; the Section D, Addendum II doesn't. When I insert it using quick parts, Section D's footer changes to Section D, Addendum II and vice versa. 

 

Any ideas?

How to STOP Word from automatically updating page numbers in Table of Contents

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 01:24 PM PST

I am working on a book that is comprised of 15 or so separate files.

I have formatted all of the headings appropriately so that  I can create tables of contents in each of the files.

BUT ... I don't need the TOCs in the chapter files themselves; I want to compile them all into a comprehensive, detailed table of contents file, for reviewing purposes; and then later to pull all the higher level headings together for a Table of Contents for the book.

I went through EACH chapter file and created TOCs in each; then cut-and-pasted and compiled them all into a separate "detailed TOC" file.

BUT Word is insisting on trying to update the page numbers in that detailed TOC file (which are in the various files). so it's hanging up on this process.

Is there SOME way I can simply capture the TOC information as regular text, and cut-and-paste it into another file ... and NOT have to deal with this field data?

I tried to open a new file and insert the text from my compiled "detailed TOC" file, but that didn't work.

And, as soon as I go to print the file, it sets Word off on trying to automatically update the page numbers. ugh.

I do realize that I could somehow insert filenames into my TOC file and it would update the page info that way, but I'd MUCH rather have just a simple text file to use, so I can easily format it, etc. 

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Inserting image in Word screws up the saved pdf

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 11:35 AM PST

http://postimg.org/image/61nozia4p/

When I have a image in Word, and I save the Word file to pdf, it messes up the text color in the saved pdf.  The link above is a screenshot of it.  In Adobe Reader I invert the colors to make it easier on my eyes, but as you can see the text color switches on the page that I have the image.  I think it has something to do with the image formatting, but I don't know what.  Help?

Mail Merge with Labels is skipping records

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 11:29 AM PST

I've set up a template with mail merge. I'm making place cards for a wedding, and so am using the labels function in mail merge to set them up.

The guest list is in excel, and when I import it to Word, all of the records show in the 'edit recipients list.' But when I complete the mail merge, it only prints 84 of the 140 names!

There is no "next record" command before the first label; next record appears before each of the other labels on the page.

Please help!!

Problem numbering or bulleting an existing list.

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 11:18 AM PST

I have an existing list of items.  These are normal text that I have copied as unformatted text from a different document.  When I select the list, then choose the number or bullet buttons in the toolbar the entire list indents but I get only a single number or bullet for the entire list instead of a number or bullet for each item.  I can of course number or bullet normally by typing in the first item, selecting number or bullet then typing in the additional items but given how often I need to do this it is contraindicated.

Any help would be appreciated.

Formatting pictures in Word

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 10:22 AM PST

I created several flyers and inserted pictures using Microsoft Word 2003 .  Using the picture format option was very simple and easily allowed the sizing and movement of the picture.  I am now using Windows 7 and Microsoft Word 15 and I am having trouble formatting the pictures.  The new format option is very difficult to use and does not let me move pictures around, however when I open an old flyer document that was created in Word 2003 in Windows 7 and Word 15 the old formatting is shown and can be used for that particular flyer.  How can I get to use the old formatting?  Can two Word Programs be installed on the same computer?  2003 & 2015?

Install a Style Set and set as default.

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 09:56 AM PST

  I've been given a .docx file that is supposed to be our company's default style set.   How can I make this happen?

  I tried opening the file, clicking the Home tab, clicking the arrow under "Change Styles" and select "Set as Default" but "Set as Default" is grayed out.


  Any suggestions on how I get the styles in this docx file to be applied to my Word installation as the default style set?

Thanks in advance.

Ghost Text in PDF after List of Figures

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 08:42 AM PST

I created a document that contains a Table of Contents, List of Figures, Appendices, and page numbers that include chapters (ex. 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-1, A-1, B-1, etc.)

When I save the document as a PDF, the text Chapter 1 shows up at the end of the List of Figures.  However in the actual word document, it does not have the text.  

Is there a way for me to delete this ghost text? Below are the images of the documents I am referring to.

Word 2010/2013 Multiple Sections, Remove empty paragraph in header

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 08:14 AM PST

The margins are 0.25" all around (top, bottom, left, right, header, footer).

The document has three sections with a header only for the middle section.  All three sections have a footer.  The header/footers are different for odd/even.

When the header and footers are edited, the first shows only a paragraph mark, the second has the appropriate header, and the third section has only a paragraph mark.  When editing the document, the first header "goes away" and the empty paragraph takes no space. The second section header appears correctly. However, the third section with an empty paragraph shows and prints the empty paragraph which moves the body down by a "line".

How can I get the third section to not show/print the empty paragraph?

Thanks

In Word 2007, you had the option of updating the auto correct entries on right click, but it doesn't seem to appear in 2010.

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 07:59 AM PST

Is there any way to enable this in 2010 or do you have to go into the dictionary every time you want to add an auto-correct entry?

Number of fields in a Word 2010 mail merge using a Word table

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 06:50 AM PST

I noted with interest your article on the maximum number of fields that can be used in a mail merge using various data sources.  I seem to recall that Word 2010 has a limitation on the number of fields it can use in a mail merge but I cannot recall what that number is.  I seem to have 32 in my mind. Is this correct?  If not, please put me out of my misery and let me know the correct answer.

 

Many thanks

Word in my 365 Home Premium Crashes When I try to open a document from skydrive OR my PC

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 03:15 AM PST

I installed a new printer last night.  Not sure if that's relevant, but this morning my PC won't run Word on Office 365 Premium Home.  It will open a page showing templates in the middle and recent docs on the side, but when I try to do ANYTHING it closes and says it has stopped working and if there's a solution it will let me know (it doesn't - just closes).


It MAY be that my subscription is up given the time of year, but I've gotten no notice to this effect.


Thanks.

How to create writable lines in Word that continue after the text goes to the next line?

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 01:43 AM PST

I would like to create a doc template (I have MS Word 2013) that has writable lines in it. Searching throughout the internet, the closest method I found is writing ---- and hitting enter so as to make a full underlined line. Yet as I write the text I need and it reaches the end and continues on the next line, the underlining just goes one line lower. So hoping to avoid the need to create multiple ---+enter lines on which to write the continuous text in parts that do not exceed each underline, I would like to ask

Is it possible to create such underlining in Word that it would be possible to write a continuous text with each line of text being underlined not just till the end of the text, but till the border of the page?

Looking forward to hearing suggestions!

Letter Merge - 2 records per page

Posted: 08 Jan 2014 09:23 PM PST

I am a school teacher trying to print custom hall passes for my students by populating a 2x2 table with the pass info. The 2x2 table fits on the top half of a letter-sized sheet of paper, so I'd like to print 2 per page. I've tried just about everything I can think of (and all Google-found suggestions) and keep running into the same problem.

I can get the 1st page to print passes for person 1 on top and person 2 on the bottom, but the 2nd page has person 2 on top and person 3 on the bottom.

How do I get it to keep track of the last record that was used and NOT to duplicate because of page break??? I am getting frustrated! I know there's got to be a way to do this. Can someone help, please??

word 365 windows 8 unstable

I have a word document which is 30MB. It frequently crashes and takes ages to save. Contains lot of figures and diagrams which I have compressed to "print". I am told windows 7 version has an option to "clean up" document but I cannot find this on my version. Could it be something to do with the fact that this document was created by someone else possibly on a different word version? - thanks
