In Word 365, suddenly all horizontal rules have changed into four-sided boxes and cannot be changed back. Any ideas?

Why does my Word 2013 have different keyboard shortcuts from the ones in any manuals, help files or earlier versions?

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 01:02 PM PST

I've  been using Microsoft Word for decades now and I've gotten to know a lot of keyboard shortcuts because I like to work effeciently. 

I now have Office 2013 on my new computer and I was shocked to see that some of the shortcuts had been changed. What is even more troublesome: The Office help file as well as various online forums keep telling me that the old shortcuts are still valid. However, they don't work anymore (but work fine on my Surface RT which should have some kind of Office 2013 as well). 



I'm using the German version of MS Word. The screenshot lists a few of the changed shortcuts as well as the Quickinfo text I get (which tells me the new, working shortcut). 

Could this have anything to do with my keyboard settings? I tried it with both "English US" and "German (Austria)".

Hyperlinks change when a document is sent via e-mail

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 12:53 PM PST

I have a word document that includes links to pdfs on a shared folder, when I receive the document in e-mail and hover over the link, it is pointed to folder on my profile and not where the link originally was set to.

 

Link when created points to : \\Server\date\department\subfolder\subfolder\month folder\document.pdf 

Link when cument is received : C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\...

 

Why would this happen and how can we prevent it so the Team Members can access the links.

 

Everyone involved has full access to the pdf location. This happens when you either save and send or send from document itself.

 

 

word insists on hyphenating words at end of line incorrectly

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 11:37 AM PST

In my version of Word 365 the program insists on hyphenating "although" as "alt-hough."  I can't get it to accept "al-though," or even to forget hyphenating all together.  It does this with a few other words, too.  My proof readers think I am not paying attention to their notes.

When does support end for the Word Viewer?

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 11:21 AM PST

The current Word Viewer found at this link seems to be related to or derived from Office 2003 because Office 2003 updates are detected after installing the viewer. As we are well aware, support ends in April 2014 for Office 2003. But does that imply that support will end for this Word Viewer in April 2014 as well?

Save new global template

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 11:14 AM PST

Hello.  The company I work for just changed over to Windows 7, and all of my old default fonts, styles, etc., are now replaced with new ones whenever I open a new document.  I would like to have my old styles and default font automatically in new documents, and do not wish to go through the process of clicking on "File", "Options", "Add-Ins", "Templates", etc, and load a template with the old styles.  I still have some old documents with the old styles.  I believe I'm supposed to save one of my old documents as a global template, right?  How do I do that?  Thanks.

"Different first page" isn't

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 09:48 AM PST

So I have a difficult dilemma now:
In a previous post, I mentioned that I want multiple sections in my document and I want the headings to automatically populate based on that.

My problem is that I want each section to have a title page that lacks those headings.

I'm using styleref for heading 1 and 2 to get the section header information there.  When I click on "Different first page", however, it doesn't remove that info.  When I try to manually remove it from the first page of the section, it disappears everywhere in the document.

Is that because I have "link to previous" on?  I need it, apparently, to make this info auto-populate across settings.
And if so... why would they do that to me? :)

Styleref field doesn't recognize character style in Word 2010

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 09:41 AM PST

I am trying to use a styleref field to display a partial paragraph formatted with a character style, as described in this article: 
In the example section, it clearly indicates that the styleref field should pick up a portion of a paragraph formatted with a character style. But when I try it, I always get the error message "Error! No text of specified style in document." If I apply the style to an entire paragraph, it works fine.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Word 2010? Is there another way I can make this work?

Here is the text from my test document:

This is a quote: Create a character style

The text quoted above is: Error! No text of specified style in document.


The italic text is formatted with the Quote style. 

The field code that produces the error message is: { STYLEREF  Quote  \* MERGEFORMAT }

Multple versions of Office

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 07:29 AM PST

I can't open Office 2013 Word and noticed I have Office 12 and Office 15 on my PC.  They are in multiple files as well.  Both are in "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" -not sure if this is an issue.  I'm able to open Excel and One Note and Power Point but not Word.

I've looked at other solutions and don't appear to have any apps that might effect Word and still can't open it.

Is there a better way to handle titles in headers without removing "link to previous"?

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 06:08 AM PST

So I have a Word 2010 document that is broken up into sections (sometimes using the new page section break, sometimes using continuous section break).

Here's a little version of the layout (with S1, S2, S3, and so on indicating section breaks):

So, here's how it's laid out:
S1: Book Title Page
S2: Table of Contents (first page has the Table of Contents title, so I don't need the header.  I use Different First Page (D1P) here). 
S3: Category One.
S4: Cat 1, Chapter 1
S5: Cat 1, Chapter 2
S6: Cat 1, Chapter 3
S7: Category Two.
S8: Cat 2, Chapter 1
etc.


Now, there's many more chapters and categories (I'd call them sections, but didn't want anyone to get confused where my section breaks are) but let's not get into that at the moment.  To get my Table of Contents laid out properly, I put the titles for each category as Heading 1 style, the titles for each chapter as Heading 2 style, and then I use H3 and H4 for some important things within those chapters. 

I have continuous pagination, although obviously the Title Page and ToC are using lowercase roman numerals and the rest are arabic numerals.

So here are the problems:
#1: I'd like to add book title, category title (H1), and chapter title (H2) to every chapter in the page header.  I know I can insert cross-references, but it doesn't automatically change them for different sections (e.g., I can't put it in once in the ToC and have it automatically figure out that the H2 of Cat 1 Chap 1 is the title for that section).  Am I going to have to manually cut and paste into every section?  I *hate* not having rote things automated, so I might just tell my boss it can't be done :)

#2: If I do that the manual way, is there any way to maintain continuous pagination (since I have to take OFF "Link to Previous", and it affects the entire page instead of just the header or footer I'm working with, to make the headers change for each new title currently unless there is an automatic way to populate that) without having to manually adjust the pages?  That'd suck for when I insert more sections later, and, again, automation.

Thank you,

images jump to another page when moved or adjusted.

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 11:36 PM PST

I am attempting to add a picture to text in a Word 2007 document. I get the image added to the page, but when I go to adjust the images position, it jumps to another page. I cannot move it to the location I want. After many, many attempts, I finally got the picture in the location I wanted. Then when I tried to correct the text wrapping, the image jumped to another page. I cannot get images to be stable within the document.

how to print without the 'choose an item' from the Drop Down Box

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:36 PM PST

Hi


I've recently made drop down boxes on a document for the first time ever and was wondering if there was a way to print the page so it doesn't print out the 'choose an item' on the drop down fields if the space was left unfilled. so essentially it will print blank so the form can be hand written on if need be


thanks

Moving Cursor to the End of the a Named Bookmark

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 06:27 PM PST

Using VBA, I need to move the cursor to the end of a named bookmark and then .typetext immediately to the right (outside) of the bookmark.  

(When I go to the bookmark, VBA takes me to the beginning of the bookmark, which is not what I want to do.)

How is that done?
