My version of Word 2007 has no proofing tools for Russian. How to add them?

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 01:05 PM PST

Hello!

I have Word 2007, working on Windows 8, 64 bit.

It does not have proofing tools for Russian.

I want to check Russian grammer.

QUESTION: how to add proofing tools for Russian in my version of Word 2007?

 

PS I also have a disk with Office 2003, with proofing tools for Russian there. Office 2003 sucessfuly works on my other computer with windows XP and checks Russian grammer. But it seams it is not impossible to install Word 2003 from that disk on Windows 8 64 bit.

Maybe it is possible to copy only the Russian prooging tools from that disk somehow?

 

I will be very thankful for your comments and suggestions!

Ivan

Cannot Open Files from Windows Explorer (MyComputer)

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 12:23 PM PST

I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional, SP3, and Microsoft Office 2000.

 

Somewhere along the line, I lost the ability to open Word or Excel files by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer. It opens the application but the application says the filename is invalid.

 

If I use the application's Open function and select the filename from there, (which is what it tells me to do), it works fine.

 

Did I mess up an option setting somewhere in Explorer?

Fields Going Dead After Update

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 11:28 AM PST

Hi,

I am working on a document template containing fields using the STYLEREF field code. The styles are linked to various content controls, so that when content is changed, the fields will reflect the new control contents after an update command.

Everything works fine on both my work computer (Word 2010) and home computer (Word 2013). On my colleagues' computers (Word 2010), however, the fields go dead after updating once. In other words, when I right-click on the field the first time, I see options related to it being a field, such as "Toggle Field Codes" and "Update Field". After an update, those context-menu entries go away entirely (they are not even grayed out) and it doesn't look like Word is treating the text as a field, though it is still shaded when I click on it.

 Is there a setting I need to change, or something I need to do to my field to protect it? I don't want to lock it, as the contents may change.

-Thanks!

Word - Option Button Control Does Not Work for the end user??

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 11:02 AM PST

I am working in Word 2007 and have inserted several controls (option, drop-down, text). After protecting the document, all 3 controls work for me. However, when another user attempts to fill out the form. The only controls that work are drop-down & text. The option button does not allow for them to select. After attempting to problem solve, the only thing that I can see as being different is that the option control was inserted using ActiveX control while the other two (drop-down & text) were inserted by using Legacy form. There doesn't seem to be an option control choice through Legacy Forms.

 

What can I do to get the Option control to work for the other users?

 

 

Can I Use a (Character) Style to Turn off Spell Checking for Program Code Referenced in a Document?

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:52 AM PST

As a Software Developer, I am frequently creating documents which include parts of computer programs. Naturally, computer programs are not written in English, so such code contains what appear to be spelling errors. When I include an entire section of code, I can create a "Code" style which not only formats using a fixed-width font like "Consolas", but it also turns off spell checking for the text with that style.

This doesn't help me when I include code in the middle of an English sentence. For instance:

  1. At this point in the program flow, the getSomethingForMe function is called.

I would really like to be able to create a style which would turn off spell checking just for the "code" text, and not for the entire document.


Is there anything I can do?

Hyperlinking word documents together brings error messages on the web

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:33 AM PST

So this is driving me a little crazy because i can't get over how easy this should be.

Just like with hyperlinking web pages into a word document, I want to hyperlink the same way except to link another word document instead.

I have document A and document B. I don't want to copy and past document B into document A, I just want to link the two together so I can keep the number of pages to 2 pages instead of 4.

I am able to do this on my computer - works perfectly fine, I'm diverted to document B using the control click method, however and this is the tricky part.

When I try to send the document A with the link in it by email to another person, the link for document B doesn't work - it says problem loading page - something about server.

Its really driving me crazy because I really need this to work and it does work on my computer it just doesn't work in an email. So what is going on in my email that doesn't let me send documents with hyperlinks to other documents.

Hand icon won't appear over cross reference links in Word 2010

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:08 AM PST

I am using cross references in a Word 2010 document when referring to a different section of the document, to allow the reader to conveniently look at the sections I'm referring to w/out scrolling around, as these are 200 pg. documents.  I insert cross references to numbered sections that appear in the list of numbered items.  I put the cross references in both the body of the document and in comments.  In both cases, the cross reference will insert, but when I place the cursor over the link, nothing happens.  That is, no hand icon, and no instruction to hit ctrl + right click.  The text shows visually as plain text.  I always check the "Insert as hyperlink " box.  Seems to make no difference whether it is checked or not. 

The links do work.  If you place cursor over the link and hit Ctrl + right click, cursor jumps to specified location.  Just no hand or instructions bubble appears.

In addition, the hand icon does work in links in mail I've received in Outlook. 

The mouse pointer scheme is "Windows Black(extra large)(system scheme)".   This is MS Word Version 14.0.7106.5003 (32 bit), part of Office Professional Plus 2010.  Running on Windows 7 32 bit.

Problems with Figure Numbering - Invisible / Missing captions

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 08:52 AM PST

Hi there,

 

I am in the process of creating a document with a fair number of figures - around 50. For this reason I have been using the add captions facility in Word to automatically update when I add a figure anywhere in the document.

 

For some reason Word behaves as if there is an invisible caption. After Figure 4 I can only add figure 6 to the next image. It is as if figure 5 is there somewhere but not visible. I have tried toggling field codes and searching for them, highlighting field codes, track changes, using the find function, even deleting everything on the offending page but it just wont show up.

 

Confusingly when I click on Figure 4 and add a caption it actually allows me to add Figure 5, but then the next figure changes to 7 straight away.

 

I do not want to resort to numbering manually as this is a document that will be passed on to colleagues and must be be easily editable.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.  

 

Many thanks!

Objects In A Drawing Canvas-Lost Ability To Position (Layout)

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 08:45 AM PST

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 as follows: In Line With Text, Square, Tight, Behind Text, In Front Of Text.  Somehow a parameter has changed, and drawing objects cannot be positioned.  When I select 'Layout', it just lists 'Position In Diagram', and will not allow me to change.

HELP!  I'm dead in the water, and cannot draw.

Thanks in advance.

Stop autocorrect in Word 2007 from correcting -ise to -ize

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 05:28 AM PST

The question has been asked before, but no practical solution is provided in that thread. Please explain how to configure autocorrect in Word 2007 sot that it stops replacing -ise and its variants with -ize and its variants. While in the main text Word will flag -ize (etc.) when the language has been set to UK English and -ise (etc.) when it's been set to US English, in the Comments it just goes ahead and corrects these spellings automatically.

I'm only after a practical solution to this issue - which spelling is standard in which country is irrelevant for my purposes: I'm an editor, I use the Comments feature extensively and I just need to control what Word does to a text.

Thank you.

Word and Excel crashes when opening files due to Information rights management issue

Posted: 10 Jan 2014 03:25 AM PST

I have a problem when using Word and Excel via my office 365 small Business Plan.  When I try to open any document (new or existing) I get a message that says that either Word or Windows has encountered a problem.  The is a background task that is trying to search for a fix but it finds nothing and then windows closes the application.  I'm running windows 8.  

I have tried the built in office 365 Fix utilities (both the quick and the on line version) and a uninstall/ reinstall.  No change.

I then ran "Office configuration Analyzer tool V1.1" and it flagged a problem with all application that use Information Rights Management.  It says that I do not have the permissions to use it under my plan.  That is correct but I didn't enable the service and I don't want to use it.  From what I can tell this functionality is managed via the on line 365 portal and so I have gone there to try and disable the functionality.  The problem is that I cannot do this as my plan does not cover the functionality so its not visable.  Essentially I can now no longer use word or excel.

I'm kind of stuck now.  How can I turn off functionality that I haven't paid for and can not configure so that office will #allow me to use word and excel.

Thanks for your help.

Having issues copying and pasting bookmarks in Microsoft Word 2007 from Google Chrome Bookmarks Hyperlinks

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 10:44 PM PST

Dear Forum,

I am currently having issues with copying and pasting from Google Chrome (I know that this is a Microsoft Forum)

I recently had Microsoft crash on me and I have now lost the ability to copy and past only the short version of the bookmark and it is giving me the full web address instead of the link.

I do not know what menu to change to alter the issue.

I wish to copy and paste only the link in which you press the Alt function to open the page that you request.

Can anyone please suggest any troubleshooting that I can do to change the set up of Microsoft Word 2007?

Can't install default Editing Language in Word 2013.

Do you see that "Not installed" message next to "English (Australia) <default>"? It's a hyperlink to here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/language-packs/?LpArch=x64

So I select English, download and install the Proofing Tool software... restart Word, open a blank document.... spell check not working.... return to the above screen - the message still says "Not installed".

Anyone any ideas why this software isn't installing?

Thanks.

Word Spacing Different between Windows Xp and Windows 8

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 07:44 PM PST

I have a client that has a skeleton document made up that is approx 65 pages long. They just recently got a new windows 8 machine using the same version of office, and when they open the document it comes up almost like it is double space and goes to about 75 pages. I have tried changing line spacing, style set, importing styles, and plenty of others and can not get it in the same format that it was done in. There are other machines that all run same OS and office and have no problems. We also opened it up on another windows 8 machine and it does the same thing. So I am assuming it has more to do with windows 8 than office. Is there any fix to this that anyone know of or will the whole skeleton have to be retyped and formatted to work with Windows 8?

Frame Anchor is inside the frame itself

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 06:18 PM PST

Not sure how this happened -- and I didn't think it was possible -- but I have a frame which I want to move to a different page, but when I click on the frame border to show the anchor, the anchor appears INSIDE the frame itself.

How do I move the anchor outside the frame ... or do I need to in order to move the frame?

Unable to save Word document

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 06:10 PM PST

When I try to save a document it requires me to save it as a different name saying it is open in MS Word, which it isn't. When I try to rename or delete various previously saved documents in Explorer it won't let me saying these documents are open. I am forced to save with R3, R4, R5, etc on the same document. WTF

Text boxes or Frames preferred?

Posted: 09 Jan 2014 04:41 PM PST

I'm still a little unsure about when to use frames and when to use text boxes (despite Microsoft's help article on this). But for a simple box with text in it, .... ;-)

But which is preferred? My memory may be wrong, but I'm thinking that WAY BACK in Word 97 or so, there were no frames -- only text boxes. Then frames were introduced, and users were encouraged to use (more powerful) frames rather than text boxes. (This may explain why the Format Text Box dialog includes a "Convert to frame" button, but the Frame dialog does not include a "Convert to text box" button.) But now I see "Insert frame" as available only in the Developer ribbon, under "Legacy Forms" ... which suggests to me that frames are on the road to oblivion.

So, in general, are Text Boxes recommended over Frames? (And am I wrong about their history in Word?)
