Microsoft Word - Office 365 University suddenly is unlicensed?!

Microsoft Word - Office 365 University suddenly is unlicensed?!

Office 365 University suddenly is unlicensed?!

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 02:40 PM PST

Today I tried to open microsoft Word and at the top of the screen is a red bar saying the product is unlicensed. I have Office 365 University that is active until 2017, so this should not be happening. I have ran fixit to uninstall and reinstall office on my computer, but this problem persists. I have called MS support, but after a 4 hour phone call, she was unable to solve the problem. Any ideas?

MS Word 2010 vs. MS Word 3013 - Stylesheet issues

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 01:57 PM PST

I would like to know if anyone has had any major issues with exchanging word files back and forth between Word 2010 and Word 2013 users.....specifically, style sheet compatibility issues?  I work with custom templates and when sharing with MS Word 2013 users, I am worried their built in sylesheet will clash with my custom style sheets in our standard office templates.


Thanks you.

Microsoft 2010 Home and Student - lags, crashes, doesn't recognize own documents, takes forever to open, etc.

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 01:56 PM PST

Hi!

I raided as many questions as I possibly could to try and fix my program, but nothing seems to directly relate to it, and I'm too nervous to try something not directly related.

I've had this program for about 2-3 years, and the problem never left. I've gotten help at the very beginning (it started to take place a month or so after I installed it), and the problem seemed to have receded... but not for long. Unfortunately, I can't contact Support because my PID number has expired. Now I've just about lost my mind.

Basically, the entire program is faulty.

Whether I open Word, Excel, etc., it lags for approximately 3-5 minutes before I can start using it (takes a while to react to me signalling it to open, the 'processing/etc.' mini-screen goes through the motions for a few minutes, and then it takes a few more to actually settle so I can use it without freezing). 

At times, every few actions results in the program (whether I'm in Word, etc.) to freeze and unfreeze; sometimes it goes so far as to freeze my laptop (HP Windows 7), whereas an emergency shutout becomes necessary.

In addition, it doesn't recognize its own documents if I try to directly open them through their own links. Instead, the documents open in WordPad. Microsoft Word isn't even an option when I try to locate it through the right-click option menu.

These are just a few of the many issues, but there really are too many to count.

Also, the first time I contacted Support I was told to disable all contact between program and Internet. However, this keeps me from being able to perform system updates.

Please help!!

Sincerely,
Steph

Remove a specified number of characters from the right or left side of text

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 01:19 PM PST

I know that in Excel you can remove a specified number of characters from the right or left side of text.  Can you do that in Word as well?  Basically, I'm editing a document that someone's manually numbered paragraphs.  Instead of manually going through them and deleting them, I'm wondering if there's a way of highlighting the paragraphs I'd like to edit and removing the first 4 characters (the two numbers, the period, and the tab) so I can then number them using the numbering tool. 

 

Is there a way? 

 

Thanks,

Chapter and Page Numbering in Word 2013

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 12:50 PM PST

Hello,
I've got a strange issue that I believe is related to conflicting multilevel lists in a large word document. Basically I have multiple chapters broken into the appropriate sections. All of my sub headings are working correctly e.g. 1.1 or 2.1. The Navigation pane shows the correct Numbering for each section e.g. 1 Title, 2 Title. However, the first page of each chapter, after chapter 1, is showing the wrong chapter number in the page number only. Where it should say 2-1 it shows 1-1. After the first page the numbering is correct e.g. 2-2, 2-3. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

How do you rename custom controlled text boxes?

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 11:06 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I really like the format of fields in cover pages because the box contains an annotation to describe the content that should go inside it (in the picture attached below, I'm referring to the box above saying 'Title').
Does anyone know how to create custom fields such as these in which I can modify the annotation (such as changing Title to something like Client Name)?

Thanks.

envelope option in Office 2013 Word

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 10:44 AM PST

In Office 2013 Word, the envelope option offers only letterhead or other fancy, smancy options.  How I can I pull up a simple, unadorned envelop (as with the earlier version, which worked so well, but, alas, died)?

Problem with Bullets and Numbering

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 09:36 AM PST

I select Format -> Bullets and Numbering -> Outlined Numbered and I select the 2nd to last option
I see a 'I.' But my font automatically turns itself to Arial size 16 (default is times new roman size 12) And after I type something and press Enter it does not continue any numbering it just creates a new line instead of placing the 'A.' like it's supposed to.  I tried deleting Normal.dot and also starting word with winword /a but it did not help.  Any ideas?

Need help creating a template

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 09:11 AM PST

I need help creating a template to print onto labels


It's for a 21 label sheet - this is what I need

How do I create a similar table that doesn't print?
How do I then adjust the margins precisely - without using the mouse?
Using a keyboard and inputting properties would be great

Thanks

Distorted Flyer as Email Attachment

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 09:10 AM PST

I created a flyer on Word.
The Flyer has an illuminated page color with a faint watermark partially on top of it and text on top of that.
I sent it as an email attachment but when someone sent it back to me for text corrections, the flyer was distorted:
  • the watermark was dark
  • the illuminated page color was gone
  • the flyer was larger than the one I originally sent.
  1. How can I make sure that when I send the flyer via email attachment, it is received the way I designed it?
  2. How can I put the flyer in the body of the email?
Thanks!

Copy and paste from web page into word 2010 document loses all paragraph formatting

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 08:09 AM PST

In word 2003 when I used to copy and paste from web pages, all the paragraph formatting would be preserved.  I'm particularly thinking of quoted paragraphs which are indented, but also bold and italics.  In Word 2010, the quoted paragraphs are never indented, even when I choose "keep source formatting".  Hyperlinks are preserved, and spaces between paragraphs, but italics, bolds and underlines are hit and miss - sometimes they are preserved, sometimes not, even within the same document.  I'm wasting an enormous amount of tim re-indenting quotes into my documents... How do I preserve the original structure?

When I choose "merge formatting" it preserves italics and bold, but not indented paragraphs. 


for example if the original web page looks like this:

BLA BLA BLA

Dum de dum dum dum:

         Snipetysnappetysnippety snap

when I paste it into word 2010 (using "keep source formatting"), it looks like this:

BLA BLA BLA

Dum de dum dum dum:

Snipetysnappetysnippety snap

and if i choose "merge formatting" it gives me this:


BLA BLA BLA
Dum de dum dum dum:
Snipetysnappetysnippety snap

How do I fix this?  Why did it used to work properly in 2003 but not 2010?

Thanks

The "old story" of WORD 2010 not displaying inserted JPEGs, PNGs, etc - I had little hair to start with and I will soon have none!

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 07:03 AM PST

I have tried virtually all the Options adjustments for WORD shown on the Microsoft site, as well as spending much time on the net looking for solutions. Also, I have also  used Regedit to amend the AllowListEnabled list of graphics filters in the Registry, and have removed the 64 bit version of OFFICE 2010 and replaced it by the 32 bit version - all to no avail because WORD will NOT display JPEGs/PNGs and so on, which it is supposed to do by default.


The same problem is happening with PowerPoint 2010 and Excel2010!

 

The machine is a Samsung NP355V5C-A03UK running WIN 7 Ultimate with SP1, and Office 2010 Professional Plus with all current MS updates installed - and I have updated the BIOS, Radeon Video drivers, and the MS s/w as recommended by the on-board Samsung support s/w.


On that subject, I also noted several Office Security Updates were identified on the net as being prime suspects for the problem, and that at least one of them should be removed - problem is that Control Panel/Programmes/MS updates is not listing them separately now, although I think they were shown somewhat earlier.

 

This has been going on for weeks and I am absolutely at my wits end with it, especially as two other ("lower spec") machines (Dell 1525 running 32 bit Win 7 Pro, and ASUS laptop running 64 bit Win 7 Home Premium) running Office Home and Business 2010 have no such problems :-(  and I can open the same files on those machines and see the graphics. In fact the OFFICE PRO PLUS suite was installed on the Dell before it was moved to the Samsung and it never threw this problem.


PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, someone give me something else to try on the Samsung as this is essentially my business machine, and I am severely hampered by effectively having a useless installation of Office on it.


Thanks in advance.


John



Word 2010 freezes

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 07:03 AM PST

Hello everyone

About a week ago, Word started freezing upon performing some actions:

- when I try to save a document as a pdf
- when I try to print a document
- when I try to change the font

Word just freezes and eventually I just have to close it.
My temporary solution is working on another computer, but I'd rather fix this problem.

Found a few suggestions on older threads, unfortunately these do not work. ( " winword /safe " : safe version doesn't help).

Hopefully someone can help me solve this annoying problem.

How to use the search function for 'paragraph signs' in a text?

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 02:29 AM PST

Hello,

Happy New Year to everyone!

I am finishing my thesis and I obviously have a lot of literature citations in the text.

Now I would like to check whether they all match and I tried writing the paragraph sign "8" like in i.e.  "...and Walzer et al. 1998.8"

in the search box but Word doesn't turn an "8" in a paragraph sign!

Hence I can't search for the paragraph signs but only for numbers in the text, which would be too time-consuming!

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance and

Best Regards

Ben

Word 2013

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 12:43 AM PST

In Word 2013, the cursor jumps all over the place - back to previous line, back a word or two, almost anywhere - making it almost impossible to type a document or an email in Outlook.  It is pure "torture" attempt to type ANYTHING.  I purchased word 2013 on Nov. 6, 2013, from Amazon and downloaded product.


Is there a solution?  Desperately need help with this problem.  While typing this short message the cursor jumped all around numerous times.


Thanks.

Keyboard layout prevalence

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 12:37 AM PST

Hi y'all ! 

I've created a keyboard layout using KLC. I need the shorcuts of such layout to prevail over the shortcuts of other applications such as Microsoft Word and over the ones associated to browsers - typing in the notepad poses no problem at all, as every stroke combination works.
Can this be set in some direct way, or rather changing manually one by one ?
I am using W7, and the laptop is Acer.

Thanks in advance.

Header on page one labeled as "Odd Page Header"

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 08:21 PM PST

I'm working on a book with a couple dozen chapters, each in their own files, each with pagination beginning with "1" (well, pagination is hyphenated, with chapter number, e.g., 8-1, 8-2, 8-3 for chapter 8).

In this chapter, I've been unable to suppress the header on the first page. yes, I've got "different first page" and "different odd & even pages" ticked in the File tab.

on the first page, at the top, the blue label at the header reads "Odd Page Header"

then, on pages 3 and 5, the blue header labels read: "First Page Header"
and the blue footer labels read: "First Page Footer"

on pages 7 et seq. and on all the even pages, the headers and footers appear appropriately.

Can someone tell me what I did to confuse MS Word to switch the first page and odd headers and footers on pages 1, 3, and 5?

thanks!

Louise
