Multiple Authors Using Track Changes Feature

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 01:55 PM PST

Hello:

I have a document that came to me with edits made using the Track Changes feature in Word.  I would like to be able to add additional changes without accepting or rejecting the existing changes.  I also would like my changes to be a different color than the existing changes.  Is this possible?  If so, how?


Thanks very much for the assistance.

Help with Office windows 8

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 12:09 PM PST

Hello

I hope you can help me.  I have recently purchased Office 2013 Home and Student for my new laptop running Windows 8.  
After installation I have only been able to open office products from the desktop, I have not been able to open any documents from explorer or a usb.
This meant that in word for example, I could work on a new document or on recent documents that I had woorked on since installation.
However, now I cannot open any Office applications at all.  Once opened the message "Getting your new Office ready for you" appears.  This then stays on the screen and the only way I can exit this is through task manager.

If I try and access Office through other way than the icon on the desktop I am asked to Activate office (as I have already purchased).  I follow the steps and I am the given the message that something has gone wrong! Sorry we ran into a problem.

Please could somebody advise me how to fix this as it would seem that Office has not installed properly.  

  

Spell checker problem

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 12:04 PM PST

Today as I was using the spell check in Word (office 2013) it changed to Spanish and won't allow me to change back to English.  I've also gone into the ribbon and its set to English.  I've closed word and opened it back up again. I also rebooted the computed but to no avail.  Please help. Thanks, Lois

Automatic Paragraph Numbering

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 11:48 AM PST

Hi,

I type reports using tables.  Each new item is typed in a new table (with a paragraph number) and these are typed into the document under different headings in no particular order (i.e., back and forth - not in a numbered list structure).  These are then sorted in a specific way (but taking all the numbers out of sequence) and the tables are joined so I end up with one table under each heading.  

Each item must retain the number with which it was typed into the document.  This is currently done manually but can be difficult to remember what number you used last (especially when it is a large report and you have got to over 200....) without writing down the number....  

Does anyone know a way to automatically insert a number (with say a keystroke or similar) which Word then sees as text so that when the tables are moved around the numbering is retained as is (not re-numbered in order).

Hope this makes sense to someone...  Thanks in advance .... in anticipation!

Office 2013 - wrong language

Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues. You can work off line if you plan to insert pictures from your computer

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 11:01 AM PST

We have about 200 users that connect to three terminal servers. On the servers we have Office 2013 installed. Several users are stating that when they attempt to search for templates or insert Online Pictures, they are getting error messages of "Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues. You can work off line if you plan to insert pictures from your computer"

 

Remember, they are connecting to a terminal server, all have roaming profiles, and for some users this works fine.

 

We've Googled the error message and found no help. A lot of responses was to reset the IE settings, which we've tried to no avail.

 

We also took a long look at was posted here: http://angrytechnician.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/office-2013-error-sorry-we-are-having-some-temporary-server-issues/ but this didn't help us either as the registry key we were looking for wasn't present.

 

Also as a test, we took one of the users that was having the issue and deleted their profile. When they logged back on the server, the same problem occurred again.

We're currently at a loss as to why it works for some users and not others?

 

Any ideas out there?

Unable to open excel objects in word documents

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 10:34 AM PST

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.

I created some tables in a word document by inserting an Excel worksheet as an object and then populating it with information.  I now want to open those objects and edit them.  But I get the following message:

"The program used to create this object is Excel.  The program is either not installed on your computer or is not responding.  To edit this object, install excel or ensure that all dialog boxes in Excel are closed."

I have tried ensuring that all of excel is closed.  I have tried it with excel open but no files open. I have "repaired" Office 2010 and I have rebooted the machine.  But none of this seems to work.

I can open the files on a different windows 7 machine as well as a Mac.

Thanks.

HELP! word office 2010 not opening!

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 10:01 AM PST

Microsoft Word on my laptop has seemingly died. It will not open or do anything and being a student it is driving me nuts that i can't use this basic feature. I have had my laptop for a couple of years now and Office Home and Student 2010 came with it. All the other office programs like excel and powerpoint are working fine. I have had no problems with office until now. It's very frustrating. Please help.

Creating a template in Word 2010 with macros

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 09:35 AM PST

I am trying to duplicate a template that was created in Word 2007.  That template has a list of files, with a check box next to each file name, and a "button" at the end of the document that is clicked and creates a new document that includes the checked/selected files in sequence.  As an example, say there is a list of files A through R; the check boxes next to A, C, D, F, and L are checked, but none of the others.  When the "button" at the end of the list is clicked, a new document file (.docx) is created that includes all of the text from files A, C, D, F, and L, in that order.

 

How is this done?  Can anyone direct me to some step-by-step directions for creating a similar template?

Word Opens Wrong File

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 09:20 AM PST

I have a directory with 4 Word files in it.  One I created, the other 3 were given to me.  They each have different saved dates and file sizes.  No matter which file name I click on to open it opens the largest file (one of the given to me files).  This happens even when I click on the file I created.  It's almost like the four files are linked.  I've tried opening the files on another computer and get the same results.  Any suggestions?  Have I lost the information in the three smaller files?

Word incorrect chapter numbering when skipping chapters

Posted: 15 Jan 2014 08:37 AM PST

Hello there,

I am editing a document for which the TOC needs to indicate chapter numbers as well as page numbers within that chapter. I have always used to do this without any problem. However, this document is special as the chapters are not really sequential. They jump sometimes. The reason for the 'jump' is that the chapter number refers to a industry code (to be exact: Air Transport Association ATA 100 coding. In this code 21 would be anything that has to do with Air Conditioning, so chapter 21, or Heading 1 with the number 21 would talk about air conditioning)
So I have a document that starts out traditionally with Heading 1: 1 Introduction, 2 Something Else, 3.... and then jumps from 5 to 21. I do this with right clicking the number of the Heading 1 title and setting the number value to 21 (start new list / set value to 21). Then there are a few chapters that follow sequentially but then again a jump from 36 to 49.
All chapters are separated by section breaks (next page)

In the header and footer I add the information of the chapter by inserting a field (styleref / heading 1) and the paragraph number, by looking up the heading 1 reference from the bottom up. Also in the footer I add the pagenumber as well as the chapter number. The Styleref works perfectly: in each header and footer the correct Paragraph and styleref gets mentioned.

Now the problem: In the section that follows the 'jump', the pagenumber that contains the chapternumber, does not recognize the applicable chapter number.
The next chapter does not show a problem. In my case

Chapter 1: page number 1-1, 1-2, etc (CORRECT)
Chapter 2: page number 2-1, 2-2, ...(CORRECT)
...
Chapter 5: page number 5-1, 5-2, ...(CORRECT)
JUMP Chapter 21: page number 5-1, 5-2, ... (INCORRECT)
Chapter 22: page number 22-1, 22-2, ...(CORRECT)
....
Chapter 36: page number 36-1, 36-2, ... (CORRECT)
JUMP Chapter 49: page number 36-1, 36-2, .... (INCORRECT)
Chapter 50: page number 50-1, 50-2, ... (CORRECT)

What can be the reason, and the solution ?

Thanks,

Tom

I am creating templates in Word 2010 (and 2003) and I have to insert instructions in hidden text format. This hidden text has to be displayed by default by anyone who opens the document so that they get the information on how to fill out the document, regardless of their settings.

 

Can this be done?

Scanning picture into document and/or e-mail

Posted: 14 Jan 2014 04:26 PM PST

I have an 2013 Acer "all in one" which is okay, prior to this I had an old Dell (which wad upgraded). On the Dell it was Windows XP - loved it, loved it, loved it. I had worked in a hospital for 25 years which changed from Baxter to HBO and many times to Horizons, and each upgrade though somewhat challenging, I overcame in a day. Windows 8 was forced on me as Bell told me they would no longer support Windows XP. I checked with Microsoft and they confirmed that as well. I have Microsoft Office installed. What a piece of **** Windows 8 turned out to be, especially with simply scanning a picture into a document or e-mail. Because Windows 8 changed systems it left Microsoft office in the "weeds" . Yes I know it can be scanned into "one note" but what a pain, and the person receiving the that document download cannot open it unless they have Windows 8. I came in on the ground floor of Windows product line and never ever, ever had an issue with it!!!! This is insane. FIX IT - I don't care how, I don't know when but JUST DO IT. I rely heavily online with Government downloads and also with personal downloads. Do something, anything. I feel like I have been manipulated into purchases that are barbaric. So perhaps this needs Barbaric surgery. I expect this to be fixed, I have always been of the conviction that I don't care how a program works as long as I can use it. I know there have been multiple complaints about 8.0, I don't expect to pay for "patches" and when income tax rolls around this had better be compatible. It is like a television to me - don't know how it works, don't care!!!! I just want to know when I want to use it - it works. I don't want to be told that it won't work, unless I upgrade anything. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this matter,

Decimal tabs don't tab on ) in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Jan 2014 03:31 PM PST

I prepared columns of positive and negative whole dollar amounts, no decimal point or cents.  Prior to Word 2013 the decimal tab used the right parenthesis to align with the assumed decimal point. Now when and old doc is upgraded to 2013 or a new word 2013 document is created, the columns no longer line up.

I can't make my labels print out to fit an Avery template

Posted: 14 Jan 2014 12:17 PM PST

I have MS Office 2010 (running on Windows 8).  When I want to make labels - I select the Avery 5267 template.  I type in my information (like names and addresses), but then when I print them out they don't fit the actual label sheet.  The first row of labels is maybe OK, but then the next row is printed too close or too far apart and the info misses the actual position of the next row of labels.
