Outlook 2013 and Word 2013

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 01:35 PM PST

Hi I just bought a new laptop. I installed Word 2013 and it's working, I set up and Outlook 2013 but I don't know how to fix my problem. As it says the following:

Create an Outlook file. There's no email program associated to perform the requested action.  Please install an email program or if one's already installed.

Create an association in the default programs control panel. I'm not sure what to do to fix this.


Thank You!

photo in text box

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 01:23 PM PST

I have a document with text boxes that we insert photos into.  Is there a way or getting the text box to take on the size of the photo, (filling the textbox) instead of having to resize the photo within the text box.  ie, if the photo is small you have to drag the photo to the size to be the same as the text box and I wondered if there is a way or making photos automatically be the size of the text box.  Would save hours if that is possible.  Help please ?

Is there a way to insert voice comment in MS WORD 2013 (record my comments)? Or perhaps an app that allows to do that? I've browsed the apps but have not found any so far. 

macro to remove the lines around text boxes

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 01:19 PM PST

Would it be possible to get a macro to remove all the lines around text boxes in a document.  I need to have the lines showing around a text box to enable a picture to be put inside and sized, but once the picture is in place take off the lines.  Instead of selecting each one and going through the process of removing each boxes lines, could a macro do this for me.  I cannot record it, so don't know where to start.  Would be grateful for some help please.

add macros to word 2011 / 2013

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 01:15 PM PST

We are just about to upgrade the office computer and before we buy a new version of Word I want to make sure that the 2011 or  2013 version ribbon can be customised the same as version 2010.  In word 2010 I have been able to add a tab and put onto it macros which run templates etc,   Is that still possible in 2011 or 2013 ?  I use 2010 at home and see that it is still available to buy.  Do not want to be bounced into Word 2011/13  if it will not work the same.  Because of the way we work (at present using 2003 with menus that run macros), we must have the option of being able to customise a tab.  Please can anyone advise, would be very grateful for some advice.

Microsoft Word Starter 2010 default formatting issue

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 01:12 PM PST

Hello all,

My Microsoft Word Starter 2010 has recently been setting my cursor to the extreme top of the page as the default. My margins are set all at one inch, and I have the document set to show the white space between pages. I don't know what to do, please help! Attached is what a default document looks like for me. I want the page to automatically be set up as if I were to write a paper.

Thanks in advance.

Word Dictionary requires LiveID account.

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 12:14 PM PST

We just installed 365 Mid Sized Business on our desktops and have ADFS setup and everything seems to be working fine... 

The only exception is that all the users seem to be required to setup a LiveID account to get the Dictionary feature.  Is there a way either use the AD accounts to login to the Marketplace or a batch process to create LiveID accounts for all our users?  Having each individual create their own account is not going to work and having the IT staff do it for them is going to be time consuming. 

Thanks

Word 2010 and Excel 2010

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:16 AM PST

I created several Word documents last week -- a text box (red color border) with black text inside to be used as signs.  These printed just fine on Friday on a HP OfficeJet 6500.  Yesterday (Monday) I created an Excel spreadsheet with 4 columns, a combination of color and black text but didn't print it.


Today the spreadsheet will only print the color text and very very light black text which you can hardly see --- I tried printing last week's Word documents and the same problem resulted.  I then tried printing a Word document from 2 months ago and it too printed the black text so faint one can hardly read.


Evidently something has reset itself within Word and Excel.

novice suffering various problems with office. help!

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:10 AM PST

Problem one. while using office to write, 61 pages so far, I managed to accidently copy a page and it now appears in a home frame, twice as numbered pages. They refuse to be removed and seem to be protected. I believe them to be related to the picture function. What can I do to get rid without losing any other pages? Problem two. When I delete or change script it is highlited in red and I have to right click to select eithe add or remove. It's a **** of a problem and time consuming. I must have selected the function myself but I dont know how, or how to remove it. Problem three I must be accident prone as I have suddenly got two files running exactly the same with the same file name, like a mirror image except that I can alter each one independent of the other one. I have added a number2 to one of them. How did it happen and can I get rid of one without affecting the other? What a mess. Please make my day.

How to manage font list in MS Office 2013?

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:09 AM PST

While it is great that Office allows me to select from a large number of fonts, I really only draft in about 6 different fonts.  I need the rest to be installed so I can properly render documents that I receive from others, but I don't want to have to scroll past 40 useless fonts every time I want to select Royal Society of Chemistry font for a word or a paragraph.  

I have searched on this issue and the only advice I've seen is to delete all the other fonts.  That is a non-starter because I actually work with other human beings who have their own favorite fonts and shouldn't have to embed fonts just to work with me.  My computer has the capacity to store all these fonts locally, I just don't want to see the cluttering my drop-down list every time I draft a document that needs a second or third font.

Surely EVERYONE who changes fonts while drafting documents would appreciate the option of having a sublist of fonts that require NO SCROLLING to select.  Hmm.  Would my problem be solved by creating styles that embed those fonts?  Is that possible?

Thanks,

Michael Sullivan

PS:  The mandatory "Office Topic" drop-menu doesn't seem to permit me to say that I'm asking a question involving a setting that affects the entire MS Office array of applications.  Shockingly, it won't let me identify my OS as Win8.1 (it limits my options to Win7, Vista, and XP).  I'm guessing there's something broken here, given that the previous drop-menu listed Office 2013, which is designed with Win8* in mind, yes?

Keeping text only when copying from other programs

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:03 AM PST

After I reinstalled Windows 7 on my new computer, the Office "Options" keep changing back to defaults even though I checked the "For all new documents" window. For example, I had to change it to "Keep text only when copying from other programs". This was with the Office 2007 version. Now, that I switched to the 2010 version, it does hold the option but does not do what it is supposed to do. When I copy paragraph from the Internet into a document, it is pasted in all the original formatting, even though the Option is expressly states "Text only". Coupled with the formatting brush that is not working properly this is a time-consuming nuisance. 

How do I alphabetize a list of Hyperlinks without losing the links?

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 10:56 AM PST

With a modicum of success, I can create most of what I want but the process is tedious.
I have a list of hyperlinks in a word document to be alphabetized for easier use. 

I can copy/place each one but the list is long.
When they were copied into Excel to sort them and copy/paste back to the document but they seem to lose the link.
I tried several "Paste Special" options but they did not seem to work.

Formatting brush is not working

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 10:55 AM PST

The formatting brush has been working about 20% of the time. Even if I double-click it, it gets lost on the way to the paragraph that needs to be modified. I started having this problem a couple of years ago with the 2007 version and now I have the same problem with the 2010 version. Even when I manage to have the cursor turned into a brush, it either gets lost on the way to the paragraph I need to modify or does not change it at all. At least in the old version I did manage to have it modified when I was able to bring the brush over to the new paragraph, but not in the new one.

Unable to open a word document

Office 2010 Word

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 08:55 AM PST

My mouse pointer keeps becoming unstable. Jumping around like it is not loading. This only happens in Office programs. I reloaded software twice now and it only corrects it for a little while. Ran deep virus scan and found none. Anyone ever seen this?

Strange results printing Calibri in word 2010 with image. PS-printer.

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 07:47 AM PST

Hi!

I have a problem printing from Word 2010 (ps-drivers). This is a problem I have come across several systems (different versions of Word and different printers). O2010 SP2 installed on at least some of them.

To recreate the problem:

Word 2010/ new doc:

1) Pick format "Title" (from the standard formats included in word 0210) and write: "Printer test".
2) Select the written text and change font to calibri, bold
3) Insert a image in png format somewhere in page or make a screen clipping.
4) Make a page break and pick font calibri, bold, and write something on page 2 (make page break or something if necessary).

If i print this on a ps-printer all of the lower case letter "o" (not upper case "O") is printed as a question mark in square (the letter used when printer can't  write the chosen letter).

As far as I understand it, the problem is connected to kerbering Calibri when there is a png image in the document. I picked format "title" because it has kerbering activated by default. Somehow it effects the text on page 2. I have other results as well but the missing bold lower case o:s is the strangest one i have found.

Also see other maybe related problem with image in document when printing: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/text-disappears-when-image-placed-on-page-bizarre/1af75a8e-f11d-441a-b2c5-649963669215

It will be interesting to hear if anyone else out there get this result!

Cannot open Word document due to dialog box

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 07:04 AM PST

When I try to open up a word document with Microsoft Word 2013 this message comes up: "Word can't do this because dialog box is open. Please close dialog box to continue". This message does not appear when I open any other Microsoft Office application.
I can't see a dialog box and so cannot close it.  I have read that changing settings in Norton can resolve the problem, however I don't have Norton. Is there another solution to this?

Thanks

Cannot Open Office Attachments From the Web

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:50 AM PST

I have Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 on several new computers. I can open Word and Excel documents from a flash drive with no problems. When ever I try to open a Word or Excel document from the web, (email attachment or Moodle website) it will not open. Excel gives a memory error and Word only says it cannot open the file. I saved a Word attachment to a folder and it still would not open.

What's the most portable way to easily allow users to add a letterhead to a Word document?

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 12:56 AM PST

I would like to find a way to allow users to easily add a letterhead (some text and a logo) to pre-existing Microsoft Word documents. Methods I have considered have been macros, templates, and quick-parts, although I am looking into other solutions. We have a central SharePoint site so ideally the solution would be easily accessible and share-able through a SharePoint document library - that is, easy to bundle up and easy for a user to install.  Any help would be appreciated - I'm not exactly a Microsoft Word power user!

Why Is Word Crashing?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:25 PM PST

Hi, I am running Word 2010 on Windows Vista (64-bit), Intel Core2Duo T9900 w/ 4 GB RAM. Although all my other Office applications seem to be running fine, Word seems to be having a difficulty doing anything (even saving) when I am connected to my home network.

When I am at school/work, things seem to run OK. I can edit/save long documents containing multiple ChemDraw images and generally do everything I usually do.

Recently, when I am back at home, Word just crashes whenever I try to do anything. 
--If I download an attachment and try to "enable editing," Word stops, "spins," and then crashes. 
--When I try to save any changes to the same long document as mentioned above, the same thing happens. 
--If I try to cut or paste anything externally (aside from small paragraphs of text from other docx files), the crashing continues. 

Sometimes it will save if you give it long enough (20 minutes or so), but I generally don't have the patience for that, so I close the program (which "is not responding"). As I said above, the rest of Office seems to be working great, and I have never had an issue with anything like this before.

Copying table cell wraps the cell content in square brackets that I cannot remove

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:16 PM PST

When I select the contents of a table cell and copy it, Word 2013 puts square brackets around the cell contents and I cannot find any way to remove them. Picture shows an example. Hiding paragraph marks and other non-printing characters does not get rid of them. They do not print, but nonetheless I feel that they should not be there. Any idea what causes them and how to prevent them?

Fill in field for protected document

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 06:26 PM PST

I created a protected document in Word 2007 which had three fields I could tab to. Into these fields I would enter names and dates as appropriate. I am now using Word 2013. I screwed up the document and tried to fix it but I do not know how to do it in W13. I need to be able to open the document, tab to the first field and enter my client's name, tab to the second field to enter a date, and a third field for the client's name again. These are the only changes I allow in this document. I seem to be able to protect and unprotect the document alright, but I cannot inset a text field. (I am not sure I am even using the right terms here!)

WORD PROGRAMME - Locked-in Capitals

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 05:23 PM PST

While using WORD for a long document I must have inadvertently touched the wrong key or something because my typing suddenly changed to all capitals (what was already typed remained OK as upper and lower case) and will not revert to upper and lower case - just stays on capitals!!  It's not the CAPS LOCK key (I don't think it is anyway) but I can't find my way out of it. It's only when on WORD this applies - when on emails or other programmes it's normal. Please advise

Associating H2s with Table Captions?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 04:48 PM PST

I'm wondering if there is a way to associate H2s with tables that follow them. Here's the problem: The H2s I use to identify tables show up in my table of contents as I want, but if tables wrap to another page, the H2 does not repeat along with the table. So, there's the remainder of the table on the following page without any identification of what it is (except for the proximity to the previous page).

To get around this, I had thought I could insert an extra table header to identify the table that would wrap to subsequent pages. Needless to say, this wraps  just fine, but now the table of contents doesn't see the table names (which were formerly identified by the H2s).

Another workaround I tried is to insert H2s directly into the table heading, but of course, the font and margins are enourmous--but they do show up in my table of contents. Related to this, I created a new style based on H2 that I had hoped would show up in the table of contents, but I can't seem to get it to show up. I can see this style in the table of contents editor (it is on the same level as the regular H2), and this special style is picked up in the table of contents as an H2 when it's outside tables--just not when it appears inside the table. Am I missing some steps in this solution?

Can anyone think of other creative ways for me to to have my cake an eat it too: to have table headers/captions show up both in the table of contents and have them repeat at the tops of tables that wrap from page-to-page?

I should mention that I don't think regular Word table captions are appropriate because they seem to follow a pattern of "Name" and "Number"--neither of which seem appropriate for my tables and their names.

Word 2013 formatting

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 03:59 PM PST

Greetings. 

I'm trying to achieve something for a few days now. 
In the picture below, on the first two captions I marked (4 times in red) the areas that I'd like to have coloured in black, and on the third I drew how I want it to look. 

As you can see from the printscreen, it is an automatic style-managed formatting that I'm using for those captions, and I want to, whenever that "caption" style is applied, that those areas are coloured black. 
Note: captioned text spacing, tabs and indent should remain the same - the only difference I want is those areas in black. 

Any ideas on how to achieve that? 

File and Image Size Issues

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 03:44 PM PST

I'm working in a huge, 750+ page document that has been split into multiple sections. I have created figures, each in their own individual document, and inserted them into their appropriate section. One of my goals is to determine the size of the document without the figures. The other goal is to determine what causes the computer to crash, whether it's the document size or something else. The computer frequently crashes even with the smaller, split sections, and I'm having trouble figuring out if the documents exceed the maximum text limit of 32 MB. The total size of the sections with figures is 121.40 MB, but the total size of the figures alone (in their individual state) is 248.37 MB. Why is this? How do I know if the figures were compressed when I copy and pasted them into the sections? Is there a way to calculate the size of the figures vs. the size of the text without moving anything around?

Thank you!

Is abiword compatible with Microsoft word 2010? Does anyone out there use them together?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 09:12 AM PST

I write and want to swap files from one PC to another at times, but don't relish paying again for Microsoft Office 2010. Does anyone use abiword and is it compatible with Word 2010 and does it work adequately enough to work efficiently?
