I am taking online classes and one of the questions that is being asked of me is to create a cover page with the Puzzle Cover page. I submitted my homework using an alternative page but was marked down because it was not the one he was asking for. Any advice as to where I may be able to get a Puzzle Cover Page? I am desperate and need help.

XML Data Invalid According to Schema?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 03:06 PM PST

I have put hours of work into editing a Microsoft Word document for a client, only to have Word freeze, shut down, and refuse to open this document again. I receive a message that the file cannot be opened due to an error, that the "XML data is invalid according to the schema." I cannot use the troubleshooting tips here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918429 ) because I cannot get the file to open. I cannot save or rename the file, and all of my Windows updates are current; I have my computer set to auto-update and checked manually this afternoon for the heck of it; no new updates to be found.

Is there ANY way to save this document, considering I've spent the better part of my weekend working on it to have it back to my client by their deadline?

How can I apply a change of color to existing underscoring?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 02:58 PM PST

Hello,

 

I have prepared a document with the intention that it should have faint lines, to act as lined paper.

However, I have already now done underscoring in the default underscore color.

 

How can I now change the color of the existing underscoring?

 

I know how to change the underscore color to grey, but do not know how to apply this to existing underscoring.

 

I want to change the color of the existing underscoring, because I do not want to have to do the underscoring all over again.

(This is because there are now graphics over part of the existing underscoring.)

 

I look forward to a solution.

 

Regards,

Missing or Corrupt File message and Click to Run

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 02:45 PM PST

Greetings,

I am helping a friend to regain full access to Word 2010 documents.

I need to know the steps to achieve this goal--if it is just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, or if there are other issues involved.

Facts

1. My friend purchased a Dell laptop in 2012.

2. It was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, and Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Version

3. For a year she was able to use it without any problems

4. Then, when she opened Word, she was prompted to take one of several actions:

             a. Upgrade--purchase a full version of Microsoft Office.

             b. [If she had purchased a full version of Microsoft Office, then she needed to activate it at that time.

Goals

     1. Gain full access to Word 2010 documents

              a. Open existing Word documents on her computer

              b. Open Word documents sent to her as attachments in e-mail messages

              c. Create new Word documents

Actions Taken

1. Purchased Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student

2. Contacted Microsoft to determine whether the Word documents created in the Starter Version would be lost by uninstalling the Starter Version and installing the Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student version

3.  Installed the full version of Microsoft Office 2010--[Microsoft Office Home and Student]

4.  I deleted the Click to Run application thinking that was a part of the Starter Version.      

        a.  Received message:  

                   "This program is unable to run because of missing or corrupt files. 

                    Contact your computer manufacturer"

 5.  Confirmed that Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote are working properly.   

 6. Concluded that the problem was isolated to Word

Questions 

1.  Are the presumptions I have stated in this e-mail correct?

2. Will uninstalling then reinstalling the Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student from the disk eliminate the error messages that we have received--will these actions enable my friend to:

        a. Open Word documents sent as e-mail attachments

        b. Open previously created documents she has saved

        c. Create new Word documents

3. Does Click to Run need to be present on my friend's computer in order to achieve items a, b, and c as listed above?

4. Are there other actions, or additional actions I need to take in order to restore my friend's access to Word 2010 documents within Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student ?


Thank you for your help.

Can't save Word document to Library location after updating to Windows 8.1

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 12:19 PM PST

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1.  My libraries were missing from Windows Explorer and I found online how to set those back to display again, but now when I go to save a document I want my libraries to show as location options and they're not there.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Opening Word files

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:45 AM PST

Since installing Publisher 2013 I can not open docx files. I have Word 2003. Before the Publisher install I had no problem with this.

A problem with Office 2003 compatibility pack.

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:17 AM PST

I installed the office 2003 compatibility pack to open my .docx files. But when I try to open one the word 2003 starts and gives me this error message "There was an error opening the file". And when I try to save a document in a .docx file  an error message appear saying that the document contain features that are not compatible with word 2007 document format, and asks me if I want to save anyway. When I click Yes, it give the first error message "There was an error opening the file" and it does not save the document. How I fix this? I installed the office word viewer and the problem persists.I also tried registering OLE32.dll and it does not fix it.

Best wishes,

Equation editor, grey lines around objects

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:03 AM PST

The equation editor in Microsoft Word 2013 is showing temporary grey lines through and around the edges of objects, interfering with my ability to see what has been typed. They typically disappear after a few seconds but are pretty irritating.

They look as though they could have something to do with the formatting settings but I have cleared formatting etc without success. 

Is this an option which I have accidentally enabled, and if so, how can I turn it off again?

Examples:



Cheers in advance.

Word 2010 - how to obtain autoscale font size in autoshape when canvas size is modified (like in Word 2003 or 2007)?

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 05:37 AM PST

Hello all,

In Word 2003 and 2007 after switching the canvas into "scale mode" ("Scale drawing" option), when canvas size is modified the font size of the text inserted into an autoshape changes proportionally according to its autoshape size. In Word 2010 the same canvas option scales the autoshapes proportionally, but the font size remains the same (it doesn't scale according to the autoshape size).

The question is simple: how to obtain this 2003- and 2007-like functionality of "Scale drawing" in Word 2010?

Regards,

Jan

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 12:17 AM PST

I am training with Word 2007 and 2010. I have Windows 7 64bit and am using Explorer.

I have Template and Media Control enabled but it is not working. It sits in the 'All Add-Ons' rather than in the 'Currently Loaded Add-Ons'.  

Activex is enabled and Microsoft.com has my permission.

I notice a file for this dll is sitting in Documents.

                      I need this app for my interactive practice. Help!!

Looking forward to some answers I have a test coming up!

Many thanks folks.

Printer stuck in printer Word list

Problem with Word and Excel not responding and documents disappearing

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 07:04 PM PST

I'm having problems with my Word and Excel documents on my dell laptop (with Windows 8.1).  First, when trying to save a word doc the program stopped responding, so I reopened it a second time and again when trying to save the program stopped responding.  When I tried reopening it a third time the laptop said the document had caused an error and said it wouldn't be wise to open the file, so I didn't.  Then a few days later I tried to save an Excel document, and it stopped responding as well.  I looked through my files and now I can't find that Excel doc at all.  I tried opening it from the "recent files" list on excel and it says the file can't be found. I also tried searching it out of everything on my laptop and the file doesn't come up, and Recuva (a program for recovering deleted documents) can't find it to recover it.  It isn't in my recycle bin either, it's just gone.  I've scanned my laptop with Avast (my antivirus software) about five times now and it hasn't found any viruses.

I did accidentally install malware over a week ago, but Avast caught it, and afterwards I uninstalled everything I had installed that day just in case.  What could be causing my word and excel docs to stop responding and disappear from the laptop?  Any help is appreciated.

Issues with Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 add-in

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 06:30 PM PST

Hi,

I have just intalled Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 add-in with Word 2013.   While it is solving some equations without a problem, it seems to produce incorrect answers.  For example, with an equation:  2x^2 -x -1 = 0  It consistently gives  the following answers;

 

X = (1 - SQRT(17) )/8    or  X = (1 + SQRT(17) )/8  

I verified that the equation is correctly typed by copying other equations that work and changing the coefficients.


Thanks

Trouble with New Documents

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 06:11 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm assuming this has something to do with my default template (normal.dotx?) but I have this situation where I open a new document in Word - just a blank document, and it looks like this:



With the starting cursor right at the top like that, which I hate. I don't know what I did. I've tried adjusting margins, page sizes, I tried resetting normal.dotx - nothing yet as worked. Any suggestions?

Accessing a file on SkyDrive for an ASK field

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 05:25 PM PST

I hope I am posting this to the correct forum.

I have created a Word template that has a number of {ASK} fields. It is used by many users in our organization. I want to default fill one of the fields with a value from a cell in an Excel spreadsheet that I store in Skydrive. If I copy the cell and then do a Paste Link after the \d in the ASK field, I get this:

{ASK RD "Receipt Number" \d {LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\Users\\David\\SkyDrive\\Synced Docs\\Rent Records.xlsm" 2014!R1C17 \a \t } }

The problem is that it only works when I am accessing the template. If another user uses the template, the path won't work, since he or she won't be logged on as 'David'.

I was thinking of trying to incorporate the %USERNAME% variable into the file path, but I don't know if that will work, nor do I know the correct syntax. The other possibility I considered was to find the URL to the file on SkyDrive and use that instead of the C:\\..... etc. I tried the 'Embed' feature for the file on SkyDrive to generate a URL, but also got some HTML coding with the URL that I think is not necessary for my purposes.

Is there a solution to this?

TIA
David

If I should post this to the Skydrive forum, please let me know.

Office 2013 EULA Continuously Pops Up

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 03:52 PM PST

I have an Asus VivoTab ME400C with Win 8.1 and Office 2013 (Home and Student) preloaded.  Not having a Microsoft Outlook account upon purchase, I used my internet provider email address which Microsoft used to create a Microsoft account and Outlook email address.  With this account there is no problem with Office 2013 EULA poping up.  Now that I may be moving out of my current internet provider coverage I created a formal Microsoft/Outlook account/email.  So now I can sign on to my tablet with either account.  When using the new Microsoft account the EULA pops up right after entering any of the Office 2013 programs.  I have tried all the solutions given several years ago involving Office 2003/2007.  My new user account is an administrator and I have tried running the program as administrator.  This is not critical, just annoying.  Hopefully I'm missing something simple to do to fix it!   

Switching numbered autoformats to plain text

Posted: 11 Jan 2014 03:07 PM PST

I am converting a word Doc to use it on a web page, and I like the auto number format feature.  (I make a lot of lists.)  Unfortunately, when I try to transfer the document to how I want it to show on a different program, all the formatting is wonky. 

I've already selected the auto-formatted numbers, \

right-clicked,

did the "remove all styles" trick.

Unfortunately, all the numbers go away, too!

Can't I KEEP the text, but remove the formatting?
