Microsoft Word - 8.1 compatibility Brother MFC7860DW envelope address printing

8.1 compatibility Brother MFC7860DW envelope address printing

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 02:44 PM PDT

Unable to print  delivery and return addresses in correct positions on envelope (both #6 and #10). Does print delivery address upper middle of envelope and down approx. 1/2 inch. Does not print return address. Does not respond to manual repositioning using Font options. Manual envelope input to Brother MFC7860DW.This is not an envelope feed orientation problem. Same problem populating the address fields either from Word document or from direct input on  Envelope/Labels screen. Installed MFC August 2013 and had no problems until Feb. 2014.   Running Windows 8.1 64 bit, Office 2013 Home & Business. 

Brother Tech Support says it is an MS issue. Their Support page says that MFC unit  is 8.1 compatible.

Other computer on same local wireless network using Word 2010 and same Brother MFC does not have any problem.

Would appreciate help.

Word has stopped working

Text getting cut off and not showing in Print View, but will print correctly and show when Paragraph Marks/hidden format symbols are showing

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 12:25 PM PDT

I have a document that is being exported from a browser based database to Word.  I am using Word 2010.  The document has tables nested within tables.  When I look at the bottom of the page in Print Layout, the text looks like it is cut off.  If I turn on the paragraph and hidden character symbols, the text displays correctly.  If I print it the text displays correctly.  If I look at it in Web Layout or in Outline Mode, the text displays correctly.

The challenge is that the document then gets uploaded in an electronic documentation system where the document is often looked at electronically on the screen.  Print Layout view is the typical view clients are used to and they don't like to see the paragraph/hidden characters symbols.  In Web Layout and Outline Mode, headers, footers, etc aren't visible so that won't work for the client.

Is there a setting such that this text is visible in the Print Layout mode without the paragragh and hidden character symbols.

The external and internal table are set to break across the page.  In File/Options/Advanced/Layout Options, the "don't break wrapped tables across pages" is unchecked.  Also under Show Document content the setting "show drawings and text boxes on screen" is checked.

Any other idea?  I figure it is some sort of setting/checkbox deep in the bowels of Word that is causing this.

Thanks.

lost characters on Insert Symbol menu

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 12:17 PM PDT

When I used to go to Insert > Symbol > More Symbols and selected a font like Calibri, the Symbols tab on the menu would show a really large number of possibilities, with a drop-down on the right-hand side to select "Greek" or "Mathematical Operators" and such.  

Now somehow, the right-side drop down is gone, and the available character set for insertion is small, and has, for example, no Greek and no math. 

How do I get back to the way things used to be?

The picture below shows the totality of the available Calibri glyphs now.

How to automate CAPTIONS and control the numbering base on a chapter heading?

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I have tried office.com suggestions on this but could not get it. I want my captions to look like Figures 5.1, Figures 5.2, Figures 5.3,..... I want to have full control of the numbering so that I can change the '5' to any chapter number that I am in.

In addition, I want to make this automatic for subsequent figures in each chapter.

How to define a paragraph style that includes information icon?

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 09:13 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'd like to create a paragraph style for informational messages that is indented and includes an information icon anchored to the message's paragraph.  How can that be done?

Currently, I have to paste the information image into the document, resize it, set its text wrapping to "Through" (right-click on image\Wrap Text\Through), then manually use the mouse to anchor it to the message paragraph, which is a lot of work.  Here's what it looks like when editing:

How do I define this paragraph, including the information icon, as a style?

Keyboard shortcut to apply a specific custom style?

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 08:46 AM PDT

Hi all,

I want a way to apply a particular custom style via a single keyboard shortcut.

I've already tried adding a shortcut to invoke Format\Style..., but then I have to type the style name (called "Inline code").  That takes just too long, as I have many, many spots in my document where I want to apply the style.

Is there a way to assign a single keyboard shortcut to assign a particular custom style so that the style is applied with a single action/keystroke?

Adding New Heading Levels

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 08:41 AM PDT

Word has 9 Heading levels. Is it possible to create more heading levels that will be pulled into the TOC when you generate it? I have a Heading Level 7 that is used for the Appendix sections and need to add sub heading levels within it. So Appendix C is Heading Level 7. Now want to add C.1, C.1.1, C1.1.1, etc. to nest under the Appendix C heading but the other heading levels are already being used for other Heading styles.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks ahead!

Office (word) does no longer open.

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 07:49 AM PDT

So far I have had no problems with Windows 8 or Word, everything worked fine and the way it should until the most recent windows update when it changed from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Now none of my Word programs will open, no matter which format they're saved in. Any ideas on what I can do to make it work again?

I appreciate it.

Add commands to the Table right-click/context menu

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 06:55 AM PDT

I'd like to find out how to add the Split Table and Sort commands to the Table right-click/context menu.  This would seem to be a lot faster and easier than having to access the Table tab all the time.

Thanks for any/all assistance!!

VBA Word Field Codes

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 05:08 AM PDT

I am attempting to define a number of custom built field codes and assign values to them.

My attempt is ...

  Dim strPropertyName As String
  Dim strPropertyValue As String
 
  strPropertyName = "ProjectName"
  strPropertyValue = "My Special Project"
   
  ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties.Add Name:=strPropertyName, LinkToContent:=False, Value:=strPropertyValue

However,this creates a run-time error with the message "The index into the specified collection is out of bounds."

What am I doing wrong?

The final solution will capture the values in a UserForm and write them to a table in a Word document.

no longer able to open docx files

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 03:17 AM PDT

I use Word 2003 and have always been able to open docx files emailed to me. Usually I get a dialogue box warning me that some features will not be available, I click OK and the file opens. 

As of today I can no longer open any of the docx files I have saved to my laptop, even tho I have previously opened and worked on them without any trouble. I have tried going back to the original emails and downloading them again but no luck there. 

My Word 2003 files all open fine, just the newer Word versions have suddenly become incompatible.

Maybe this is a coincidence but there were a bunch of Windows "updates" downloaded two days ago.

Any idea what's going on here?

Changing Fonts

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 03:00 AM PDT

I regularly receive long Word documents from which I have to make several hard copies.  Unfortunately these come in a large font with large line spacing and use masses of paper and ink when printed.  The sender has repeatedly refused to alter her font and spacing and I wonder if there is a simple way of altering fonts, font size and spacing in the complete document in one go.

I know it can be done one page at a time but that is impractical for these long docs.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Linking excel data into a word userfrom listbox

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 02:11 AM PDT

Hi, a warning beforehand, I am using office 2003, but i can upgrade to 2010 if that makes things easier to solve.

I am trying to link an excel spreadsheet with a word userform listbox. I'm very knew to VBA so i will need a bit of help with it but here is what i would like to do:

  • I have a form in word with various text boxes.
  • When someone opens the form i would like a userform with a listbox to appear
  • From the list box i would like a list of names to dropdown (these names are on column 1 in an excel spreadsheet)
  • When they choose a name and click an "OK" command button i would like the textboxes on the form to autofill with information from the spreadsheet that correspond to the chosen name.

for example if "Dave" was selected, text box 1 on the form would fill in the name, box 2 the start date, box 3 the annual leave remaining etc, just for Dave:

Name Start Date Annual Leave Remaining (days) Annual Leave entitlement (days)
Dave 09/01/10 12 32
John 08/02/09 3 34
Bobby C 07/03/08 9 32
  • I would like to just have the names in the list box, i would like the rest of it to link but not be shown in the listbox of the userform
  • Finally, if someone updates the excel spreadsheet then I would like this to update the information that gets populated into the textboxes from the userform.

i have the form finished, i the excel spreadsheet, i know how to create a userform. not sure how to get it to pop-up when the document is opened and the rest remains a mystery to me. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Fonts garbled on opening documents created in previous versions of Word

Posted: 21 Mar 2014 12:19 AM PDT

Whenever I open an existing document, the fonts do not display correctly. Also, when I open documents such as these, a lot of the the design themes are similarly garbled. As soon as I choose a different font for a document it is fine, but as I have to work with a lot of older documents, this is very annoying. Can anyone help please?

Problem Placing EPS files in WORD

Posted: 20 Mar 2014 11:29 PM PDT

I place a vector eps file in Word 2011 for Mac, everything looks and prints fine.

I save the file in both .docx and .doc versions.

Both files opened in PC Word 2010 have a slight cropping around the eps files both on screen and in print which I can't get rid of.

AutoCorrect in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 20 Mar 2014 10:59 PM PDT

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I would like to know if it is possbile to have Word automatically apply the AutoCorrect rules to a batch of text copied into it? For instance, if I copy something like, "Teh sentance is intentionally mispeled " into Word, is there a way for Word to automatically correct that to "The sentence is intentionally misspelled", without drawing a bunch of red squiggly lines?

Thank you!

Strange copy and paste issue

Posted: 20 Mar 2014 03:33 PM PDT

I'm having an issue with the copy and paste functions with regard to Microsoft Office 2007 on an XP machine. Recently, I have been experiencing issues pasting tables from MS Excel 2007 to MS Word 2007. When pasting in Word using CTRL + V, a very small icon appears as an inserted image (it appears to be a palm tree). When I delete the icon and try the CTRL + C, CTRL + V functions again, the table pastes correctly.

Just want to see if anyone has had experience with this issue... copy paste eventually works on the second try, but I don't understand what's happening with this island icon thing (maybe its an easier egg and I've won some sort of prize???)
