Microsoft Word - Setting tabel defaults

Setting tabel defaults

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 01:23 PM PST

I've got a table looking the way I want and now I want to have it in the table styles gallery and use it as default - how do I do this. It seems I can only make a new table style from the gallery. I have to add the table style to many templates so I don't want to have to set new table style properties for each template, can I 'save selection as new table style' as I can for para styles?

Changing colours in compatibility mode

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 01:19 PM PST

I've made a template in MSWord 2010, now they client wants 97-2003 versions. So I save using compatibility mode but the colour palette and theme revert to MSOffice default and lose the colours I've set. If I go back and make 2010 doc then I can reapply the theme but how do I get those colours to stick when I save a 97-2003 version or how can I change them in that version while I'm using MSWord 2010?

Customizing Word theme colours to be more than 10 colours

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 01:14 PM PST

Hi

My brand has more than the 10 colors. Office doesn't allow you to add more that 10 to the theme colours in your template. I am setting the brand guidelines into microsoft office templates (word,ppt,excel) for internal use. Have been specifically asked to provide all colours. any suggestions/workaround? I use word 2011 on mac & there I can manage because when I go to 'More Colors', the dialog box has options. But this is not the case for other word versions in use in my workplace.

Word 2010; Table of Contents problem

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 11:41 AM PST

I am attempting to create a Table of Contents (TOC) for a thesis, using Word 2010's 'Automatic' feature to do so.

After following the steps and choosing 'Automatic Table 1' the TOC programme seems to miniaturise the ENTIRE document, and after allocating a page number to each item presents it as a completed Table of Contents.

Included in this are all the footnotes, charts, photographs and bibliographic entries within the work.  


As these do not normally form part of a TOC, and are definitely not what I want, how do I persuade the programme to only provide me with a list of Chapter Headings and subheadings - or do I have  to use the TOC's manual table (Table 3) to get the result I want?

Thanks.

Multiple Page Numbers Within the Same Document Page

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 09:14 AM PST

I have many documents that contain a body of the document followed by attachments.

The entire document is page numbered in the footer as "Page 1 of 32".

The attachments continue with this numbering in the footer based on the entire document.

The attachments also are individually numbered in the header as "Page 1 of 5".

EXAMPLE:

The body contains 10 pages.

Attachment A contains 5 pages.

Attachment B contains 10 pages.

Attachment C contains 7 pages.

The total document pages are 32.

So that the third page of attachment A is numbered "Page 13 of 32 in the footer, and it is numbered "Page 3 of 5" in the header.

I know this can be accomplished using formulas in the field codes.

I have bookmarked the end of each section as:

   SectionP for the body,

   SectionA for attachment A

   SectionB for attachment B, etc.

I am also having difficulty directly typing the filed code braces "{ }" without incurring a syntax error.

I can use CTRL+F9 to directly type into the document, but the formula does not function.

Also, I cannot use CTRL+F9 to enter a brace into the formula window.

 

office 365 ms word crashes when document is full height and try to resize its width

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 08:52 AM PST

Hi,

I am using Office 365. In word after I have sized a document to full height by dragging the bottom border of the window down to the bottom edge of the screen and then try to change the width of the document by dragging the right border to increase the window size, the window becomes black. A error message screen appears and asks to send a report. This has happened four times in the last two days. I have performed a repair of Office 365 and the problem has happened again twice today. The only other window opened is Excel that occupies the right edge of the screen.

I am using a HP Pavillion laptop running Windows 7 - 64 bit version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Can't save any new word documents

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 08:17 AM PST

Ever since I purchased my new computer, I have had trouble with MSWord. If I create a new document, I cannot save it anywhere (computer, cloud, flash drive)! However, if I have a document already saved to my flash drive, I can update that document and save it. If I try "save as" and rename the document, it won't save.

This problem could be as simple as user error (I am not used to the new save interface) or maybe there is some other step I have to do to prove that I paid for the software (I am signed in and everything).

User error? I click Save As --> Computer--> Desktop and nothing happens. I've tried clicking on Browse (on other folders as well), but nothing happens when I click. Double clicking doesn't work either... Is my computer giving me the silent treatment?!

Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 Error Message: "there is insufficient memory or disk space. close extra windows and save your work"

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 06:20 AM PST

Hello I am hoping someone else has heard or knows something about this.  I tried Googling this error message but it usually pertains to someone trying to save a file or copy and pasting.  This is neither of those.

I have:

Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

Version 14.2.9

All updates made

My computer is:

iMac 

Late 2012

2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5

8GB 1600MHz DDR3

I currently have 1.11 TB of memory Free which is more then enough

This issue has never happened and only started today.

I opened up Microsoft Word.  Opened a blank document.  Went to "Format" and then "Paragraph" and this message came up:

 "there is insufficient memory or disk space. close extra windows and save your work"

I had no other documents open in Word and no other applications open on my Desktop.  I tried restarting Word and the computer and the same thing happened again.

Any ideas?

Unable to locate saved file

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 12:52 AM PST

I was working on a homework assignment on Microsoft. I have been working on it for several days, and I saved my work every time I added something new. Every time I opened the assignment my all my work was there. I finally finished it and closed out of it, like I had done many times before, I went into my documents to find my other assignments and when I opened the assignment I had just finished, it was only a third of the way done! I tried to close and reopen it, and undo it. I looked everywhere in my documents and deleted files and couldn't find the completed one anywhere!! Please help me find it so I do not have to basically start all over. Please!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

How to recover "repaired" word document?

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 11:54 PM PST

I was using microsoft word and word crashed for around the 5th time today. Usually the recovery system works perfectly but this time an important document was listed as "repaired". Due to a mis-click I accepted the repaired document rather than the original document and it seems that half of the document's data has been lost.

The word documents I am using are full of image files with the word documents having up to 20 Mb.

MS word crashes almost the second I make a word document 22 inches wide (normal layout).

I tried to use

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-an-earlier-version-of-an-office-file-HA010356735.aspx

to recover my older versions of the document but there is nothing in the "manage versions" and "unsaved files" folders. I think the crash was so hard it emptied them.

I have windows 8.1, an Acer laptop, 600 GB of free memory and Office 2013 which I downloaded from my university.

How can I prevent MS word from crashing all the time?

How can I access a previous saves of the word document?

Office Word does not open to correct window size

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 09:29 PM PST

I am running Office 2007 in Windows 7 and suddenly my Word windows are no longer opening at the same size they always have before.  This is the way the window has always opened before when I start Office Word (this is my preferred work area as I have another window open beside it most of the time).

About a week ago for some reason this is how it opens now.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to get Word to open the way it did before?  I have tried using the Start, right-click, Properties, open maximized method but it didn't work.  It still opened exactly as in the second image.  Word will not open either maximized or in the configuration I originally had it opening in.

All other programs on my computer open maximized, Office Word seems to be the only thing affected like this.  Excel still opens full size.

Chicago Style Bibliography

Posted: 22 Feb 2014 05:20 PM PST

I purchased Word 2013 because I wanted to use some features like referencing that were not as user friendly on my other word processor. I am trying to use Chicago Style and I  notice the date is not at the end like it says it should  be on the official Chicago Style webpage. Why is this happening? This is very frustrating to me as I thought I could trust this program and now I feel like I wasted my money. 

This is was I get: 

Robinson, Daniel. 2009. Communication History in Canada. 2nd. Don Mills: Oxford University Press.

This is what is should be:

Robinson, Daniel J. Communication History in Canada. Don Mills, Ont: Oxford University Press, 2009.
