Where are quick styles located for the various operating systems of windows and versions of microsoft word?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:16 PM PST


Greetings,


I am wondering if i could possibly get a definitive list as to where Quick Styles where stored on the various operating systems of windows and whether the version of word that is installed has an effect on where the quick styles are stored?

I am looking basically for Quick style location information for 

Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 8.1

Why when I import building blocks into another users folder are the colors changed in word.

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:09 PM PST


Hi community,

I am wondering with great anticipation why when I copy a buildings block template from one computer to another the primary colors represented on the building blocks( Cover page, Headers, Footers ect) change from red (my companies color) to blue? Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why this happens and how it might be remedied?


Thank You,

Cannot find new Word docs

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:00 PM PST

I have all my Word files on my computer. My secretary accesses those files through our peer to peer network; all her work is saved on my computer. But now I cannot find any of the documents she has prepared tor the last week or so. If I go through her computer, I can find the documents. According to the path name at the top of the document window, those documents are right where they should be: on my computer. But I cannot find them when I try to access them from my computer.

My secretary and I both have new Win 7 computers with all documents from all programs stored on my computer. What's up?????

MS Word 2010 AutoText Creating and Inserting

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 01:46 PM PST

I create many autotexts that I use all the time.  When I start to type it, it may or may not show up.  When it does show up, if I have created it at the beginning of a sentence, it will only insert and the beginning of a sentence.  If I created it in the middle of a sentence, it will only insert in the middles of a sentence, etc.  and therefore, I cannot get it to insert anywhere else.  i.e. on a label or in a form template.  In MS Word 2003, when you created it, it would insert anywhere you wanted it to.  Should the Building Block fields be different than the defaults shown?  Why doesn't this work?  I have checked my settings under File / Option / Proofing and Advanced, and the all look correct,

 

 

 

 

 

Broken view for Word 2013? Don't know what I've done?!

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 01:32 PM PST

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure what I did but my page just went from being in this format:



To this format without the grey to the side and the visible margins:



It's still in 'Print Layout' and nothing I do seems to work. It just scrolls horizontally slightly and the images I've put in have vanished.

Is there any way to reset the work?

HELP!!!!

Blank Pages in Merged Document

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 12:42 PM PST

I have a mailing in which I need to produce a two-page letter for some entries in a data file but not for others. Basically, I have a list of countries, and those in the data in the listed countries should print but anyone else shouldn't. The list of countries is too long to use the edit recipient list/filter/query options route (19 currently, though it may grow longer before we go into production).  I tried a string of nested IF statements to check the country's name with further IFs within them to select the correct letter (there are multiple versions, based on another code in the data) and then INCLUDETEXT to pull the text into the document. This works great, except that every time there's a record in the data that shouldn't print, the merge produces a blank page.

Is there any way to either suppress the blank page during the merge or to seek and destroy blank pages in the merged document before printing? I'd rather not have to resort to manually stripping out the records we don't want from the data, because we'll need to do this repeatedly with a number of very large files, each with hundreds of records.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Why do I not get an option to "Edit in Word"?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 11:11 AM PST

Team is using SharePoint online.  When someone sends me a link to a document on SharePoint and I click on that link, the doc opens in read mode but only gives me the option to "Edit in Browser".  There's no "Edit in Word" option.  I have full edit rights.  If I navigate to that same doc starting at Sharepoint.com, and open the doc in Firefox (my default browser), I then also have the "Edit in Word" option.

Unfortunately, you can't easily tell where the file is located from the URL that is given, so navigating to it (as an work around) is not simple.

Office 2010 listed printers not installed on my computer

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 10:16 AM PST

I just step up a new computer with using Windows 8 Pro and Office 2010.  I plugged in my printer, it wouldn't work so I moved it to another USB port and then another.  I have it working  now.  But all my Office programs lists 4 of the same device (1), (2), (3) with pending jobs.  They aren't any extra printers listed in the printers area of Windows.  How do I get rid of the ones listed in Office?  

Problems with Office 2010 installed on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 09:52 AM PST

I purchased a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro recently. Since I am an educator, I was able to purchase Office 2010 on CD a while back from my school district. I installed the software on my Yoga, rather than purchase Office 2013 from Microsoft. The problem is that, when I try to open a document that I created (Word, for example), I get a dialog box stating that I do not own Office 2013. I end up having to open Word 2010 as though I am creating a new document, and then go to File, Open, and then find my document (as opposed to just going into my Skydrive documents and clicking directly on the document I want). Then, the Yoga hems and haws trying to figure out what to do before my document finally opens. How can I get my Yoga to recognize Office 2010 (Word, Excel, Publisher, etc.) as my default Office program?

Word Document Corrupt

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 09:15 AM PST

I have a Sandisk Cruzer U3 flash drive.   I have some Word documents and Excel and some PDF files this drive.   After I connect the drive to my computer, I can see all of my files and documents on this drive.  They have the correct file extension.  The Word documents were saved as a 97-2003 document.   However, when I try to open the document in Word 2010, I get these funny looking Chinese characters and symbols.  

I have tried everything to fix the document.   No, I don't have any viruses on the flash drive.

Is the flash drive corrupt or the Word document?

Office 2007 (Word)

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:51 AM PST

After creating a document in MS Word, and I print it, it will print a page with the following information prior to printing the document.



If I want to print a quantity of 3documents, than before each document it will print the sheet with the above information, in other words I end up using 6 sheets of paper where only three are usable.

Question is, how can I disable this, so that it will only print the desired documents?

Word 2007 - Bullet is changing font style - How do I permanently remove Font Style i.e. Bold, Regular etc. from Bullet Profile?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:29 AM PST

Bullet is changing font style - How do I permanently remove Font Style i.e. Bold, Regular etc. from Bullet Profile?

 

I am editing an already typed document and have changed the bullet from a circle to a square bullet. I have also changed the alignment.

 

This is 50/50 going well.

 

The problem is that the Bullet Style is saving the font as 'regular', when it is a mix of regular and bold text;

 

Example

  • This is an example of set out.

Sometimes it leaves the text as originally formatted, sometimes it doesn't, and it is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

 

I have already right clicked the saved Bullet Style and deleted 'regular' from the font type, but it keeps coming back.

 

Does anyone have a permanent solution for this? Would be very much appreciated.

"Recent Folders" in Word incorrectly redirect to top folder

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:14 AM PST

Using Word 2013 on Windows 8.1, when in the "Save As" area, clicking on on a folder underneath "Recent Folders," the links are redirecting to the wrong folder. No matter what folder I click on, the location that gets brought up in the "File Save" dialogue box will always be the location of whatever folder is at the top of the "Recent Folders" list. 

Interestingly, if I click on one of the folders that is not redirecting properly and select "copy path to clipboard," the correct file path will be copied to the clipboard, but when it comes to actually using the "Recent Folders" feature, all folders except the top folder will always incorrectly redirect. Clearing out the recent folders (using "remove from list" on each folder) doesn't solve the issue.

I would like to number a section of pages as A-1, A-2, A-3 etc.  How can I do this and also have it recognised by the TOC?  Also can I additionally add a section with text before the number, e.g. Appendix 1 or Annex 1?

Word 10 - Envelope Printing problem

I have a printing problem with word 10.  When I select mailing and then envelope I can send it to the printer however it shows up at the printer as envelope - plain paper.  The printer then gives me an error message saying that "the paper properties mismatch and please load required stock".  I need to send the envelope No. 10 as an envelope not plain paper but am unable to find any way to change the setting in word.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

How to Use a Macro to Delete Rows and Controls within a Grouped Control

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 05:40 AM PST

I have created a form in MS Word 2010 using a table structure and placing plain text controls where I want the user to type (see below ... I placed it in design mode so you could see wher ethe controls are).  In order for the user to use the tab to jump between fields, I placed the entire table in a rich text control group.  It works perfect (locking text I don't want touched and allowing the user to jump to each field).  However, they want the user to add or delete rows and controls in the Experience section depending on how many Projects they worked on.  I could do this with macros; however, the only way I can delete the rows with a macro is to put it in design mode, delete the row, then take it out of design mode.  Here in lies the problem, the macro will stop running as soon as it puts it in design mode.  Is there any work around for me?  Thank you in advance for any ideas.

List style disappeared

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 04:46 AM PST

I recently set up a numbered list style, as per Shauna Kelly's instructions in her article 'How to create a numbered headings or outline numbering'. At some point my document crashed and the list style seemed to disappear. The numbering I had set up disappeared and I *think* one of the other built in numbering formats in the list library took over. 

I tried to recreate my list style 'Headings' but Word told me the style already existed, even though I couldn't find it.

My question is this: how do I reattach the list style to my document in the event of it crashing/disappearing. It had certainly disappeared from the 'list styles' area of the numbering box. And I had no idea where else to look for it!?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Borders automatically close between pages

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:59 AM PST

Windows 7, Office 2010, Word document:   I often put one border ('box') around 2 or 3 consecutive paragraphs to show that they are related.  If automatic pagination happens to fall in the midst of a paragraph, no problem:  The box stays open, i.e., no border at the bottom of one page or the top of the next, correctly indicating the the contents of the box continue from one page to the next.  The PROBLEM occurs when automatic pagination breaks *between* consecutive paragraphs in a single box, in which case Word closes the boxes (at the bottom of one page and the top of the next), making it seem like two discrete boxes when it's meant to 'read' as a single continuing box.  Any way to adjust the settings to do this?

Word 2013 corrupts certain fonts in text boxes when shadow applied to box

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:49 AM PST

Word 2013

We use Rockwell as a corporate font and are having problems with this and other fonts appearing 'corrupt' on screen in text boxes in specific circumstances.


  1. Create a text box.  (Insert>Shapes>Text box)
  2. Type some text in it.
  3. Change the font of that text to Rockwell (or Footlight MT, Algerian, Bell MT and quite a few others but not Arial or Calibri)
  4. Now select the text box and add a drop shadow to it (Format>Shape Effects>Shadow) and pick any Outer Shadow, and the font 'corrupts' so that the spaces become square boxes (although it does print OK).


This applies only to certain Microsoft-provided fonts and only to most Shape Effects (but not all: Shadow-Outer - a problem, Shadow-Inner - no problem).


What is going on here?

Word 2013 Tracked Changes Problem

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:20 AM PST

I have all kinds of problems with Word 2013, but one of the biggest is that when I make changes to a document, having switched on track changes, and then run a global check for a particular word/phrase, using Find and Replace, words that have been changed fail to show up completely. Thus, in the document I'm working on presently, I've changed 'the Abbey' to 'the abbey' in several places, but when I run Find and Replace (searching for 'the abbey [or 'the Abbey']) none of the amended instances show up (and no, I haven't got Match Case switched on). The same goes when I attempt to search for any other amended word; it simply doesn't show up.

Another strange anomaly is that when using Find and Replace, any word found in the top line of text showing on the screen is never 'grey shaded' for identification, unlike all of instances.

Can anyone help me with either of these? Despite countless searches online, hey've got me baffled.

Thanks

Nick

Layout Changes whenever I reopen the document

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:05 AM PST

Good day, I have been editing a document and everything seems to be fine. But whenever I close and reopen the document, certain layout changes has been made, like where I had chapter 5 starting on a new page with its body, the chapter 5 heading now would be on the bottom of the previous page with the body going on on the next. Why is this happening.

 

Also, chapter 1 starts on page 3, but on the index table it shows page 2 (my page numbering is correct) but then I will put my cursor infront of chapter one and push enter twice, so my "chapter 1" heading is still on the same page. NOW - When I update my index table, it will show chapter 1 is on page 3, which is correct - what can cause this?

My MS Word has gone loony! Chapter headings jumping round

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 12:11 AM PST

Good day, I've been editing a document which I want to use at work. I can edit it perfectly and everything will look right but when I either close and reopen the document or update my index table, the headings of my chapters ex. Section 5, has moved either back to the bottom of the previous page or to the bottom of its original page. So I will have chapter 5 on the bottom of a page with the rest of the paragraph on the next page. I made no use of any page breaks. so it can't be that. Like I said, While I edit the document, everything seems fine, but when I reopen the document or update the index table, it will shift. On the other hand, it is not the whole document, It will only happen to certain pieces in the document. Also, chapter one starts on page 3, But on the index it shows page 2, the I will push enter just twice moving "chapter one" down just 2 lines, then I'll update my table again then it will say page 3. This is driving me crazy. Please help!!!

Can you repeat 2 rows of a table over pages?

Microsoft Word has Stopped Working, Need ADDITIONAL Guidance, Please!

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:05 PM PST

Just got a new PC, and installed Office 2013 yesterday.  I'm getting that "Microsoft Word has stopped working" error message.  I followed all the steps provided on the Microsoft site - installed Windows updates, ran Windows in 'safe mode'.  Word seems to work in 'safe mode'. 

 

The Microsoft instructions provided after running Word in 'safe mode' say:

 

If the Office application starts, there's a problem with the add-in you unchecked. We recommend you visit the company website for the add-in to check for an updated version you can install. If there isn't a newer version or if you don't need to use the add-in you can leave it unchecked or remove it from your PC.

 

 

What is the 'add-in you unchecked' referring to?  I don't recall unchecking any add-ins.  And it says to 'visit the company website for the add-in...' - what company/company website is this referring to?  These statements seem to apply to my issue, but I haven't got a clue what direction they are providing.

Mouse hover with track changes in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:04 PM PST

In my past experience with Word I could hover the mouse pointer over a change and a balloon would come up showing the author of the change and the date/time of the change. Ever since I have started using Word 2013 this feature has been spotty at best. It either only shows up for a split second or does not at all. I have read some suggestions that I do a repair of Word and when I do that it works for a short time but then stops working again. I have done both the short repair and a full repair.


I have done that probably a dozen times always with the same result - works for a short time and then stops. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Word to no avail. This has happened in both Win 8 and Win 8.1


Any suggestions?

HOW DO I LOCK THE POSITION OF AN EDITABLE TEXT BOX?

HELLO MS WORD COMMUNITY:

Can someone give me a simple explanation of how to lock the position of a text box?

However, I want an end-user to be able to enter/edit text in the text box. I just don't want the box to be moveable.

I am setting up a templatized pre-plan (simple metadata) for a fire department. I want the editable text boxes to stay put in an effort to uphold design integrity.

Word multilevel list headings not working

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:20 PM PST

Hello,

After setting up a multilevel numbering list style (or whatever the correct terminology is) by following the instructions here:

http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html

What would prevent new lines from automatically entering the next number? Actually, the new line does not even keep the same heading since the cursor goes all the way back to the left margin and Styles switches to Normal. Here's an example that hopefully explains what I'm talking about:

Suppose you set up your outline headings to look like this — with the bracketed content not seen but showing the heading level (and Style) of its respective row:
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
and suppose the vertical bar at the end of the third line represents the location of your mouse cursor. 

Pressing the Enter key should give the following, right?
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    
[Heading 3]                        2.    |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
where the new line is at the same heading level [Heading 3] and the new number follows in sequence from the prior heading at that level.

However, pressing the Enter key in my case results in this:
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    
[Normal]      |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
where the cursor goes all the way back to the left margin and the Styles menu shows that it switched from [Heading 3] to [Normal]. Every level behaves the same way. It's like it doesn't know to remain at the same Heading.

I would attach the file but I don't see a way to do that.  :P

Thanks
