Is there a simple field code for bolding text in a field and one for showing text in superscript?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 03:40 PM PST

Hi,

 

I have linked text from an Excel spreadsheet into a Word document.  I inserted it by Paste Special > Paste Link >

 

The text is as such -

 

              If your balance was $50,000, then for that year you will be charged fees of $767.00# (for December 2013 this is $796.40#).

 

The figures in bold - when I update them, they lose the bold formatting.  Is there a simple field code I can put in that will simply format all the text in the field in bold?  I have tried a number of things, including the CHARFORMAT code, and it just won't work.

 

The Hash marks (#) - I need this to be in superscript.  When it updates, it won't stay in superscript.  Is there a simple field code that simply makes any text in the relevant field in superscript?

 

I have looked and looked, and found nothing :-(

Word 2010 "Manual breaks are the issue here"

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 02:25 PM PST

Hello from Steved


.Wrap = wdFindAsk


My issue please is with the above line, meaning if I change it to "wdFindStop" it will not find "^m", now if I use "wdFindContinue" it will find "^m", but it will not stop after finding the last occurrence, finally if I use "wdFindAsk" it works but asks "do you want to start at the beginning", which I do not want this to happen every time I run this macro, what do I need to do please to make the below macro function. Thank you in advance.

How to Auto Update Linked Charts in Word 2013 When Document Opens

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 01:40 PM PST

Does anyone know how to have charts, that were pasted & linked from Excel 2013 to Word 2013, automatically update when the Word document is opened? I have the "Update Automatic Links at Open" selected in the Word, but to update the charts I have to select each one and "refresh", which is a pain with lots of charts.

Would VBA work?

Using Windows 8.1

Thanks!

Word 2010 Legacy Form Drop-Down Menu Arrow Showing when printing

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:59 PM PST

Once filled in; I'd like the people filling in the form to print what they've created; but the little arrow next to the drop down menus (legacy ones) are showing when I go to print; even if I've clicked off the field before printing. I don't know why they're continuing to show & do not want them to show on the printed form. Please help! So, it looks like the below - both "12-month period" & "February 2015" are drop down menus, but even if not showing when going to print, one of them have an arrow next to it on the print page. I just want to get rid of it.

Thanks!

Printing Statement (5.5 x 8.5) size handouts from Word

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:44 PM PST

I'm trying to print statement (5.5 x 8.5) sized handouts for a class. I've created the page size in Word (Office 365) with margin sizes of .5 in.

What I'd like to do is print the handout on letter-size paper in landscape and then cut the paper in half. For example:
  1. I need page 1 to print on the front of the letter-sized paper twice and...
  2. I need page 2 to print on the back of the letter-sized paper twice.
  3. When cut in half, I'll have two copies of the document in statement or half-letter size.
Is this even possible? I am trying to avoid using columns and/or duplicating pages in the document using letter-sized paper. I need for the document text to flow from page to page but for the page size to be 5.5 x 8.5.

How to prevent Word 2010 or 2013 from saving files in DOC format?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:39 PM PST

How can I prevent Word 2010 and/or 2013 from saving files in .DOC format?

Or, how can I have Word 2010 and/or 2013 automatically "Convert" all old format .DOC files on open?

Or, how can I permanently disable "compatibility mode" for .DOC files that are opened in Word?

MVPs: NO, I am NOT looking to manually convert every single .DOC file to .DOCX. I want Word to automatically convert documents upon open. There is NO need to maintain 100% compatibility with earlier versions of Office!

FYI "Convert"ing a .DOC file will then force Word 2010 (& presumably 2013) to save the file as a DOCX file if you click on Save or Save As. I'd like all old format documents to be automatically opened NOT in compatibility mode.

In PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 it is possible to use the Trust Center -> File Block Settings to force PowerPoint to open .PPT files in protected mode which then forces you to convert the document to PPTX before you can start using it.

I want the same to happen in Word, but, it seems that the Trust Center settings in Word 2010 and 2013 are there for show. Changing them seems to do nothing :( I have yet to convince Word to open .DOC files in protected mode.

Sorting a list of judgments by case number

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:22 PM PST

Hi,

I have been trying to find out ways to sort my list but so far my search through the internet has not been successful. I could also not find much on the sorting function in the word help/support pages.



My task: 


I have to sort a case list which looks like this, but way longer:


Case C-108/09 Ker-Optika [2010] ECR I-122213                    2,3,5

Joined Cases C-153/04 and C-155/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  1,4,7,

Case 94/82 Kikvorsch [1983] ECR 947                        5,7,9,

Joined Cases C-151/04 and C-152/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  2,12,25


 

The list would need to be sorted according to 1. the year (which is directly after the first slash) and 2. the case number (which is just before the slash) i.e. the list should be sorted like this:


 

Case 94/82 Kikvorsch [1983] ECR 947                        5,7,9,

Joined Cases C-151/04 and C-152/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  2,12,25

Joined Cases C-153/04 and C-155/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  1,4,7,

Case C-108/09 Ker-Optika [2010] ECR I-122213                    2,3,5



 

Any advice?? I don't want to sort hundreds of these by hand! Thanks so much in advance!

Form Check Box Options

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:21 PM PST

I have a form with YES and NO check box options. If NO is selected/checked the box will fill with the typical X. 

If YES is selected, not only do I want the X, I also want a couple paragraphs of new text/or a new section to appear directly under the check boxes. 

Is it possible to do this kind of thing in Word? Perhaps I need Visual Basic or… 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Changing footnote cross-reference number formatting

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:20 PM PST

I am formatting law journal article that has cross-references to footnotes. Specifically, it contains ranges of footnotes that should end up looking something like "145–50."  I've been inserting two references, first to 140, and then to 150, but I end up with "145–150," which is not correct for the formatting that I need.  

Does anybody know how I can make a footnote cross-reference to, for example, footnote 150 that will only display the last two numbers?


This is the format of the field:

{NOTEREF_Ref364863823 \h \* MERGEFORMAT }


I've tried changing it to:

{NOTEREF_Ref364863823 \h \# "00" }


But that doesn't seem to work.  Thanks!

Page 1 of x Question

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 10:58 AM PST

Using Word 2007, I have a document that is a total of six pages, the last two of which are exhibits.  In the body I put in the page number code for page 1 of x and it gives me the total of page 1 of 6.  I've separated the exhibits out with a next page section break, same as previous off, and it still gives me 1 of 6.  I insert on exhibit 1 page numbers 1 of x and format it to start at page 1.  It still counts the total pages for x.  How do I set this so that the body says Page 1 of 4 and the exhibit 1 of 2?

 

Thanks.

How to find templates for blank headers and footers in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:49 AM PST

I'm trying to create a template for headers and footers that are completely blank. In Word 2010 that was an option. In 2013, every header or footer on the drop-down menu has some kind of border or line--even the ones listed as "blank." And I can't find a way to remove those lines.

Can someone please tell me how to make truly blank headers and footers? I'm trying to create documents with page numbers at the bottom--no borders or lines in the footer. And I want headers at the top, again with no lines or borders.

Thanks!

Same values of variables in word 2010 Visual Studio add-in are being shared across multiple document

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:46 AM PST

I am developing an Office Word 2010 Add-In in Visual Studio using c#. In add-in code I have some class level private variables declared.

 

When a word document is opened then some of these variables are loaded with dynamic values and some are loaded with values in various events like DocumentOpen etc. It's fine till here.

 

Now I keep the first document opened and open another word document. When this second document is opened while debugging before load event I can see the variables are already loaded with the first document's values.

 

So if first document 'Doc1' has a variable named 'docName' which I assign with value "Doc1" when the document is opened. Now when I open another word document 'Doc2' (first document 'Doc1' is still opened, not closed) I see the variable 'docName' already set with value 'Doc1'.

This is not only happening when the Documents are opened but in every events all variables' values are shared across multiple documents.

 

I do not want to create variable arrays as there are many variables and will keep adding more as functionality of add-in is extended.

 

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

I am creating namde badges in Avery template 5392 and I am using a full 3x4 image as my background. The image and everythign looks great once I update labels but in live preview all the images shift.

Word 2013 printout differs from onscreen print preview

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:45 AM PST

When printing a document to Adobe, activating the paragraph marker, watermark, or footers, the document gets bounced around and things shift to the next page although no additional lines have been added and no formatting was changed by me.  Why and how do I resolve this.  I keep having to reformat the entire document over and over.

Did Something Change Recently (January 2014) With Word Draw Functions?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:21 AM PST

I'm wondering if a Microsoft Update could have changed the way objects are positioned in the canvas.

I do a lot of drawing in Word, always using a Drawing Canvas.  Previously, when I would insert a drawing object, I could position it with the following choices using the Layout tab: In Line With Text, Square, Tight, Behind Text, In Front Of Text.  Somehow a parameter has changed, and drawing objects cannot be positioned with these choices.  When I select 'Layout', it just lists 'Position In Diagram', and will not allow me to change.

Including chapter numbers in paragraph list

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 04:08 AM PST

I am trying to make a numbered list in paragraph text that includes the chapter number in the numbering in a way that it would be automatically updated when the chapter number changes. Something like the following:

<chapter#> This is the chapter title in Heading 1 style

<chapter#>.1 This is the first item on the list in List Paragraph style
<chapter#>.2 This is the second item on the list in List Paragraph style

I fiddled around with the multilevel lists options but I can't really figure out how to make this work. I tried abusing 'heading 2' for this by creating a new style and selecting "based on heading 2". The disadvantage is that in this case I have the problem that the text is also included in the TOC plus the formatting is not based on the 'normal' style so it is more difficult to keep the styles in sync. Is there a better way to accomplish this or should I revert to manually adding the chapter numbers in the list?

Microsoft Word 2007 Mail Merge suddenley not working unless I press Shift + F9?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 03:59 AM PST

Hiya I have has an issue with Microsoft Word 2007 and Mail Merge for the past week at work and the IT guy doesn't know what's going on so we are both looking for solutions!

It just happened suddenly as had been working fine and I have not updated Microsoft word to a newer version or anything. When I open a word document with Mail Merge it comes up with the coding that is implemented for the Mail Merge to work rather than the field names that it showed before, when I go to Mail Merge with a Clients details it does nothing when I click preview.

However I have just discovered if I Mail Merge and preview and it shows nothing but if I then select all the Mail Merge fields and press Shift and F9 they then show the Clients details! Does anyone know what is causing this and a way round so that when I enter the details they show up when I press preview rather than having to press Shift and F9 in order to show?

Another thing to note which I'm not sure is related is the Word documents are opening up in compatibility mode and I'm not sure why this is?

Any help would be appreciated as a week working in a busy office having had to type everything manually is not fun! Everyone elses in the office is working fine as it should, it just seems to be me!

Word 2010 Smart Art - How to copy style info between multiple smart arts?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 02:41 AM PST

I have a document with several smartart hierarchy charts. I created a customized color "Style".  I wish to copy the style to all of the charts.  I don't see any way of saving a custom SmartArt Style.  The custom style does not appear in the other smartarts.  Format painter does not work

I am open to suggestions.

The only workaround I've found so far is a "if you can't beat 'em, cheat!" type solution:
  • select and copy the "good" smartart
  • paste in new location
  • select the "old / bad" smartart
  • display the "Type Your Text pane"
  • Select contents of the pane
  • Copy the contents to clipboard
  • Select the newly pasted "good" smartart
  • Select the "old" contents of the "type your Text pane"
  • paste clipboard to text pane
  • delete the old / bad smartart

Now have new formatting applied to old hierarchy chart details

I'd like to paste in a microsoft word document, but maybe  it has to do with the Windows system rather than with microsoft word - if so, just let me know.

Pink screen

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:07 PM PST

I recently bought Microsoft Office 365 University Edition and I installed it without any trouble. But when I opened Microsoft Word, instead of having the usual white background theme, it was a hot pink colour. If I move the mouse over buttons the buttons itself turns white and everything else stays pink. If I move the mouse over other buttons the white buttons gradually turn back to pink. This is the same with any other program that comes in the university package (e.g. PowerPoint, Excel, etc.). I have tried changing themes for Word and Googled about this problem but no luck. I haven't tried reinstalling it because I don't want to risk anymore trouble. Please help!

Dotted leaders in TOC

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:51 PM PST

The default leader dots are too big and ugly. I can manually change them but doing it for the whole book would take too long. Is there a way to modify them, as one can modify the TOC text? I tried assigning a style to the one I modified but the style does not affect the dotted leaders. (The other lead-in choices are not good either.)

How can I add "Outline View" to the Status Bar in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:38 PM PST

Greetings!
I regularly need to switch between Print Layout and Outline View when working with Word. In Word 2013, the Status Bar no longer includes Outline View as one of the three options (Read Mode, Print Layout, and Web Layout). It does not appear that these three options can be changed from the Customize Status Bar option menu. And having to navigate to the View tab in the Ribbon in order to switch to Outline View is not as efficient has being able to click on an icon in the Status Bar. Is there a way to add Outline View to the Status Bar in Word 2013?
Thanks!

Display Word Count of a particular selection in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 04:25 PM PST

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to display, within the document, the total word count of a selected paragraph? Does such a formula or field control exist?

Example:

Paragraph 1:

Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point. When you click Online Video, you can paste in the embed code for the video you want to add. You can also type a keyword to search online for the video that best fits your document.


Word Count: 47


Paragraph 2:

To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and text box designs that complement each other. For example, you can add a matching cover page, header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.Themes and styles also help keep your document coordinated. When you click Design and choose a new Theme, the pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics change to match your new theme. When you apply styles, your headings change to match the new theme.


Word Count: 87


Thanks for any help with this one!

Microsoft Office for Windows 8 doesnt work.

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 04:23 PM PST

Hi, I'm currently using Windows 8.1, and all my office apps, like Word and Excel were working until a few days ago. Now when I open them, all that comes up is a blankscreen, with no controls available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, but even the installation screen came up blank. My Windows updates are all up to date, so I have no idea what is causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Numbered List Combining Right-to-left and Left-to-Right

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 04:22 PM PST


I am trying to create a multi-layered numbered list (2 layered to be precise, the first layer 1, 2. 3 etc, the second a, b, c...) including both English and Arabic and am having some problems.
I need all the numbers using English numerals (if I may call them that to avoid confusion) to be left-to-right but the text following them for those entries which are in Arabic to be right-to-left. Therefore I need to combine both left-to-right and right-to-left in a single line. How do I do this?
Also, how do I manually input numbers that will automatically come in sequence? The automatic function does not work well and keeps starting from 1., even when I click 'Continue numbering' in the AutoFormat tab.
Thank you very much for your help.
