I bought a laptop to use away from the PC, but I realised of course I'd have to get Office to be able to transfer Word files from one to the other. Is there a way around this, or do I basically have to shell out more dough for this product? I saw some free compatible software online but is that advisable to download??? Please advise. Also, can I use Office 2010 on my laptop which has Windows 8.1 on it? the 2013 seems very expensive. 

Word 2013 Line Spacing

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 02:45 PM PST

Hi: I am attempting to create some book spine and three-ring binder spine titles. I am limited to about one-half inch of width on the spines. I will be using a paper cutter to trim the printed titles to fit this narrow space.


So, I desire to use a large font size of 18 point or thereabouts. However, I am unable to "crowd" two lines of text to accommodate the spine width. I have tried all the "Line Spacing" features such as "single", "at least", "multiple" and various "point sizes"


I just cannot seem to overcome the minimum of "single line" spacing. The smaller point sizes just lop off the tops of the second line of text, but does not decrease the actual spacing between lines.


I guess I would expect that I could choose to have one line of text atop another or a very narrow space , but as I said I merely lop or chop off the second text line. As an example, say spacing actually measures 1/4". Why can I not change it to say 1/8" ?


Am I asking Word line spacing for the impossible?


Thanks,

Ron Reeland

Fomatting issue not sure how to eliminate or what caused this?

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 02:05 PM PST

I am helping my roommate edit his novel.  Somehow there is a line on the left margin and lines of dots.  When you move the mouse over the line of dots it changes to lines with arrows which look like they can be moved.  I have included the sample.  I have the vertical line appearing elsewhere in the manuscript.  I have never seen this before.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

How do I save a template from an existing file, such as a job application, and then reopen it to fill-in the blanks without the format of the document moving around?

Word Web App Table Cell

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 12:28 PM PST

I have a table in a Word Web App document.  There is a cell with content in it.  The font color is black and it seems the background of just the text is slightly gray.  I can't edit or delete this content.  It seems that it is protected in some way.  What is going on here?  How can I remove this "protected" state and delete or edit this content?  I can't even delete the table row that the cell is in.  Thank you.

image in first page header doesn’t appear when having a second page in document

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 12:16 PM PST

I have a macro: It lets me choose images that will be placed in the headers (first page header and continuing pages) and it puts images into the footer (first page footer and continuing page footers).

It seems to work fine. BUT if I have a document with multiple pages the image in the first page header disappears! I have no idea what is wrong with the code :( 

This is what I would like to have eventually:

> first page header
image1 in top right corner
> first page footer
image2

> other page headers
image3 in top right corner
> other page footers
image4

Any tips or help would be highly appreciated :)

Unintended jumping to a previous part of the text

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 11:38 AM PST

While creating a Word document (both in Word and in Outlook), I find that my cursor has jumped to a previous place in the text and the text I am creating is being inserted there.  I can't figure out a patterns to the jumps.  This happens on two different keyboards?   so I don't think I'm accidentally hitting a function key.  What am I doing?  (And as I typed the "oing" in "doing" it jumped up to the end of "keyboards" in the previous line.)  I am running Word Version 14.0.7106.5003 (32 bit)

Some words/text vary in size, although shown as correct size in Font window

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 11:37 AM PST

I'm having an odd problem. In a file that I converted from a PDF, some of the words are displaying in a slightly smaller and narrower/width font than the style is set for.

The formatting is simple for this file - I just need everything in 10-pt timesnewroman font. and that's what I've styled "Normal" as.

and I've selected the entire file and hit "Normal" to style it all as that. that didn't fix the varying font sizes.

I've selected individual lines and went into the Font setting to make them all 10-pt and that didn't do it. I tried making them 9 pt and then back to 10 pt and that didn't work.

BUT ... when I click on (select) the individual word and then hit "Normal", it fixes it (that is, it increases the font size and width to match the rest of the line).

For the life of me, I can't see any difference in the "features" of these non-compliant words.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this, short of eyeballing 18 pages of lines and fixing each of the words individually?

thanks!

I have added the "open" button to my Quick Access Toolbar. This button works as intended. However, the window which opens fills the entire screen. I need a way to size this window. Right now I have go close the window in order to get back to the document I had been working on.

Accessing Macros Shuts Down Word

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 08:50 AM PST

Hi,

I have Office 2013 suite, running on an Windows 8.1

I have been using basic macros to help me write my dissertation over the past few days on Word. Today however, when I run a macro, look up macros, or even try to change the macros in word, the entire programme shuts down.

I have tried restarting several times, but the problem seems to be persisting.

What should I do?

Many thanks in advance for all the help!

Microsoft office 365 university not working

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 08:36 AM PST

When I attempt to access any of the office packages I receive a pop up message which says, " The shortcut has been moved or changed" I don't know what has happened so I would be grateful for some advice :D

Did anyone find out the reason for the word cntl key holding down?

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 07:03 AM PST

I have the same problem. Like many of the posts I have done that has been suggested and switched off everything, but it raises its head again and again.

I even replaced the keyboard in my laptop, still the problem occurs. I disconnected all devices, but still after time it happens again.

I believe it is a problem in Word, and not with hardware in computers, once you restart the computer all fine, until the next time.

Has anyone had any success as yet with the problem.

Word 2013 stopped working; don't know what to do

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 04:46 AM PST

I just installed Office 2013 and everything was fine until today and now Word has stopped working.  I have tried to search the internet to find a solution but I am not that tech-saavy and don't understand most of the posts.  Can someone help with a really simple answer to the problem?  I cannot open in Safe mode either.   I am traveling overseas and don't have access to the original disks to reinstall.  Please help!


Error in highlighting text (scrolling over with mouse)

Posted: 18 Jan 2014 11:11 PM PST

Hi all,

I just installed office 2013 and have been having one consistently strange error.

On first opening up word, I have no problem and can easily highlight text (such as highlighting a sentence to delete it).
If I tab away from word, and then again return to the same file, I can no longer highlight.
A little windows loading symbol appears very momentarily (the amount of time it takes for me to click), and I am unable to select/highlight anything as before.

If I save and close word, and then reopen the file - I can then use it as normal (until I tab away once again).

Any idea about what this issue is?

I was using windows 8 with word 2010 previously, I have just got a new laptop, have installed windows 8.1 and have the one month office 2013 trial.

Thanks,

Table cell borders disappear when document converted to PDF

Posted: 18 Jan 2014 04:50 PM PST

Why do my table cells (some with shading, some without) boarder lines disappear when I convert my word 2010 document to PDF - this mostly happens with the top boarder but randomly with side boarders as well. Could it be something to do with my default cell margins?

read only ?

Posted: 18 Jan 2014 04:35 PM PST

Brand new Dell PC w/ MS Office 2013.   All documents (My docs and my external drive) come up as "Read only."  Have tried all kinds of recommended fexes and nothing seems to remedy the situation.  Very frustrating.   Any solutions?   Thanks.
