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!

My tablet recently updated to windows 8.1 and i started having the problem where Word would crash whenever the keyboard was opened on screen.  The window attempts to re-size, and the program promptly stops responding.  Are there any fixes for this behavior?

Word documents fail to open intermittently without an error messgae

Hi,

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.

Help Microsoft,

Ryan

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 DVD 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
    With ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
        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 = ""
End Sub


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?

View problem with Mailmerge

This is something new to me.  On my computer I can see the data file, merge document and the results all fine.  On my assistant's computer  the data file looks fine, the merge document looks fine, but the results look like the top will be cut off.  If you print the document or create a pdf from the file, it looks fine.  What in the view could make mine look fine and her's messed up?

Linking Dropdown to a Text

Posted: 30 Jan 2014 07:10 AM PST

Ok I've created this form and it is supposed to be for all of our different branches. 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?

Regards,
Al

Whole document goes bold when I bold just one line.

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.

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

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.
