Microsoft Word - open any file, then left with a blank word.docx

Microsoft Word - open any file, then left with a blank word.docx

open any file, then left with a blank word.docx

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 02:04 PM PST

When I open Word, I'm presented with with a blank "Word.docx" file, which is fine. But, if I want to open an existing file, I click file->open, and select a file listed under "Recent Documents". Of course the file opens--all good--but then I'm left with the "Word.docx" file mentioned earlier. I can close it, no problem, but isn't there a way to avoid this unnecessary step?

Cheers,

Office 2007 - Working with Headers and Footers

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 11:14 AM PST

After placing different headers on alternate pages of a book manuscript (chapter title versus my name), I then place page numbers on continuous pages centered in the footer. After doing this, and saving the document, I find that when the document is reopened surprises await me.

A - The header now has the same wording on both pages or B - The sequence of page numbers has been scrambled into a non-sequential order but the headers read correctly. After much trial and error editing, I either get the pages numbers in the right order but the same header now appears on all pages - - or if I edit to place different headers on alternate pages, I get the page number sequence scrambled up again. However, this mysterious malady does not occur on all chapters of the manuscript.  Apparently, the intrigues of Word apply this mysterious action randomly. Would appreciate help in sorting this out.

Word 2013 'Current list' disappears of cited works. Will not save. - help!

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 06:01 AM PST

When I create the 'current list' of cited and placeholder references on my document they get lost every time the document is closed even though the document has been saved.  I have tried document recovery, checking on saved version on skydrive and versions on memory stick - it always deletes.  It does it now on every document I create,  strangely documents from a couple of months ago do not seem to be affected.  Can anyone help?   Regards   Roger

Word 2010 Label Templates and Change Picture Function

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST

I am working with label templates in 2010 and the background of each cell is a picture.  The picture has been sized outside of the cell margins to allow for bull bleed printing.  I use different photos as background so I want to use "change picture" to select a different picture and have it replace the existing while keeping the same size.

I'm finding that when I do the replace it will keep the width but the height aligns with the table cell outline.

What am I doing wrong?  


Thank you.

Can no longer use touch screen to format pictures in word

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 04:25 AM PST

Hi

I'm using word on the Microsoft surface and I use to be able to change picture sizes and move them using the touch screen but now I cant. Grey circles appear around the picture instead of the white circles and I can only move them and alter them using a mouse.

Anyone know what's happened or how I can change it back!

Auto create a Hyperlink in VBA

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 08:17 PM PST

Hi,

I have created a Macro to Auto Create a Hyperlink to "Place in This Document".

I have created an Index where I place the Hyperlink, the Title in the Index is the same to where I want to go with the Hyperlink.

I have a problem, as if I just set the complete Title for the Hyperlink, it does not work on long Titles as it puts a "#" in front of the link.

If I tell it to only take the first so many Characters using "LEFT(TLinkS, nn)" it works for the one I am testing it on and Titles of less than the number, but it does not work on all.

if I set the length to "Number of Characters" it works, on that title but not on others.

Title                                           Number of Characters.

Word 2013 Bug: The "Do not check spelling or grammar" option checked when pasting screenshot from OneNote

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 03:28 PM PST

This one is rather deep and was tricky to figure out what was going on.

Background

Our organization has a LOT of old 2003 documents that are used as forms. I now have some users adopting OneNote. These users are using 2013. That said, this seems a Word issue, or perhaps an interaction with pasting pictures from OneNote since copying a picture directly and pasting into Word does not cause this issue. Windows 7 is the OS. Reproduced on multiple machines. I have only tested with screenshots and not pictures inserted into a OneNote document first.

Steps

  1. Open an existing 2003 Word document (.doc) OR create a new one using 2013, I have tried both.
  2. Open OneNote
  3. Take a screenshot of something (Win+S)
    1. You can put screenshot in a tab, but you can just copy to clipboard
  4. Paste screenshot into Word document.
    1. Your cursor should be along bottom right edge of picture you just pasted, before the paragraph mark. Attachment 1.

  1.        Add a new line (press enter button) and type something that is spelled wrong.
    1.        Spelling is not corrected
  2.        Go to Review ribbon > Language > Set Proofing Language > Notice that Do not check spelling or grammar option is checked.
  3.        Screenshot of example attached as Attachment 2.

Expected Result

  1.        Should work same as when you do this with a document that is in 2010/2013 format.
    1.        2010/2013 documents have new paragraph use the normal style setting for the Set Proofing Language options.
