How would I take a single input and place in multiple places in a template for word 07?

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 03:16 PM PST

I am trying to develop a fillable form in Word 2007 for work.  We need it to take a single input and copy it to multiple locations.  For instance, when the user fill in the model #, we need Word to automatically place the same model # throughout the form.  Would this be a macro or some other function?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a spanish language pack I purchased for Office 10. Can I use this on office 365?

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:43 PM PST

I have a spanish language pack I purchased for Office 10.  Can I use this on office 365?

Even on office 10, I've had a recurring problem with the spanish language grammar checker--it doesn't catch mistakes!

So, now I have a couple of new win 8.1 devices and probably will install ofc 365, so will my existing language pack work?  Or will I need a new license?

Thanks in advance!

Changing font

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:31 PM PST

I have changed the default font and now the type is so small on the screen that it is hard to see what I am typing.  How do I adjust

the font size when typing and still keep the font size?  It prints out correct size.

Opentype number spacing and number forms do not work with footnote references.

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:17 PM PST

Do anyone know how to get Opentype number spacing and number forms to work with footnote references? I am specifically asking about the code or field or whatever the footnote reference number is embedded in/a part of. Even if I select the text and apply, for example, the old-style number form and the tabular number spacing, the number style does not change. Any help will be appreciated.

How do I create a number list that is like this example (Word 2010)?

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 12:55 PM PST

I would like my numbering system to follow this pattern in one Word document (not using separate Word docs as chapters):

1.  (for Header 2)

    1.1 (for Header 3)

        1.1.1 (for Header 4)

        1.1.2 (for next Header 4)

    1.2 (for next Header 3 under this section)

        1.2.1 (for Header 4 under this section)

        1.2.2 (for next Header 4 under this section)

2.  (for next Header 2)

    2.1 (for next Header 3)

        2.1.1 (for Header 4 under this section)

        2.1.2 (for next Header 4 under this section)

    2.2 (for next Header 3 under this section)

        2.2.1 (for Header 4 under this section)

        2.2.2 (for next Header 4 under this section)

.

.

.

etc.

I tried creating a New List Style, but I couldn't get these results. Ultimately, I would like to create a macro that does this numbering for me (I will be exporting content into this Word doc at some point that will use this number formatting). If you have hints about this part too, that would be helpful also.

Office 2007 - Formatting Lost On XP Machine When Opening a .docx Created by user on Windows 7 Machine.

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 12:50 PM PST

All,

I have a user that is using Windows XP. She is trying to view a .docx document created by a user working on an Windows 7 machine. Both user are using Office 2007. When the XP user tries to view the document, the formatting is off.....tabs where there shouldn't be, different font/sizes, etc.

If the Win7 user sends the very same document to a user that is also using Windows 7 and Word 2007, the formatting issue doesn't occur.

I've already compared settings on the two machines, any ideas?

Have field code generate variable used in table calculation

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 12:37 PM PST

Gentlefolk;

The title is incomprehensible, but the goal is fairly simple.

I am creating a form in Word.  In the form, I want to include some dropmenu fields. These would be labled A, B, C, D, whatever. When you click the downarrow to select one of the values, such as "B", I would like a point value returned which can be used in a formula.

So.....

I have four values:

President

Provost

Dean

Department Head

President = 20

Provost = 15

Dean = 10

Department Head = 5

I would like to take the selected value, "President" and be able to have that point value "20" referenced by another cell, which I can then use to sum similar variables.

In setting up the values in the form, I can create the label "President" and I assigned the value "20" but I can't figure out how to get "20" to display in another field where I can use it in a further calculation.

Any suggestions? Or is this outside of what Word can do?

Many thanks!

Nested Ifs with AND

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 11:26 AM PST

I have been banging my head against my desk to get my nested IFs to work with my AND condition. Here is what I need:

IF In Honor of has text, put "Fund" + "In Honor of" + "."

IF In Memoryof has text, put "Fund" + "In Memory of" + "."

IF BOTH have text, put "Fund" + "In Honor of" + "and" + "In Memory of" + "."

Else, put "Fund" + "."

I can get the first two conditions to work with the else on their own. I can get the third IF to work with the else on its own, but I cannot get all four conditions to work. I even tried using =AND and COMPARE. Nothing. I don't know where I'm approaching this incorrectly.

Here is my code:

{ IF { MERGEFIELD In_Honor_of_1} <> "" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1} { MERGEFIELD In_Honor_of_1}." "{ IF { MERGEFIELD In_Memory_of_1} <> "" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 }" "{ MERGEFIELD In_Memory_of_1}." "{ IF { MERGEFIELD In_Honor_of_1} <> "" "{ IF { MERGEFIELD In_Memory_of_1} <> "" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 } { MERGEFIELD In_Honor_of_1} and { MERGEFIELD In_Memory_of_1}." "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1}." }" "{ MERGEFIELD Fund_description_1 }." }" }" }

This is the latest attempt, and I have been unsuccessful. Any help, please? How do I nest a condition that needs AND within the IFs?

Word glitch

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 09:26 AM PST

Wonder if anyone can help -

I'm completing an on going piece of coursework on microsoft word, tracking changes over many different devices. When saving the document earlier, and placing on both a memory stick and the computer, it seems to of jumbled all of the words up? When looking at the track changes, they haven't shown up as an addition or anything.

Eg- what it was saved as" Fixated on the clock reflected in the mirror, Sarah anticipated her husband's return from work at any moment. He was late. Over 10 minutes in fact. "

What it is now showing up as:  Fixated on the clock reflected in the mirror, Sarah anticipated her husband's return from work at any moment. He was late. Over 10 minutes in fact. It wasnnuteser husband's return from worknces ago been kept, filled with agein, 

I spent a very long time making changes and i'll i have on the document are these random changes, desperate for some help!

Combine two-column text with regular page.

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 08:45 AM PST

 I'm typing the bylaws of our homeowners association and the bulk of the doc is in two columns.  I need the first page to be the title page (no columns) and the next page would be the Table of Contents.  I want to add the heading straight across the page and then start the table of contents in two columns.  Following would be the body of the doc in two columns.  I've tried to follow the "help" directions but I can't seem to get it to work.

Can someone explain exactly how to do this in a more user-friendly fashion?

Word Autocorrect acting funny

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 08:09 AM PST

I recently added an Autocorrect entry to my Outlook installation in 2010.  I wanted to replace a coworker's name without accent marks with one which includes the accent.  I first tried this in Word, then when I figured out there's a separate Autocorrect file for Outlook, I repeated it there.  I have a number of questions:

1)  When I did this in Word, Word added an asterisk after the name in the Autocorrect entry, which I assumed was to cater to punctation marks, etc.  However, if I type "Rene:" it does indeed replace this with the accented version, but the punctuation appears on the next line.

2) If I do the above in Outlook, when I type "Rene:" I get the accented version followed by "*:"

3) I tried an entry in Outlook to replace "Rene:" with the accented version followed by a colon;  I get the accented version followed by TWO colons.

4) I finally just went with the replacement of just the text in Outlook, and Outlook works as expected, except I have to remember to type a space, then backspace before adding any punctuation.  Is there any way around this?

5) I then erased the Autocorrect entry completely in Word. Now whenever I type "Rene" in Word,  it replaces it with the current date.  I have rechecked Autocorrect to confirm that there is no entry for "Rene" or anything similar;  I still get the date if I type that.  I have removed the entry for the corrected name from my Custom Dictionary, still no help.  I tried adding an entry into Autocorrect to replace the plain text "Rene" with "Rene" but it still enters the date.   I have removed the entry for the corrected name from my Custom Dictionary, still no help.  I tried adding an entry into Autocorrect to replace the plain text "Rene" with "Rene" but it still enters the date.

Any clues?  Do I need to reinstall Word to fix this?

Windows 8.1 with Word 2007

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 08:02 AM PST

After installing a new computer (8.1), I am having difficulty with Windows 2007.  GoDaddy is our host.  I have contacted them.  They told me to uninstall and re-install Office.  I have done that.  GoDaddy helped with proper settings when outgoing emails were hanging in 'outbox'.  That now works.  With new settings, GoDaddy set up 'new' folders within email and told me to drag & drop the old ones to the new ones.  When trying to do that, I get a message that says Microsoft Not Responding and sometimes shows 'offline'.  I have to cancel the file drop.  Also, there is no 'outbox' in the new set of folders.  Any suggestions? 

VBA Macro gives up without visible failure

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 07:52 AM PST

I have a VBA command that I invoke from a custom addition to the ribbon, which processes the index of a document, by adding markup that is processed later by other software.  Basically the page number references are wrapped in square brackets and some other stuff.  Note that this is an index in plain text, NOT an index created using Word's index tooling. So:

    Churchill, Winston: 34, 57, 104ff, 112-13, 252n

would be replaced by

    Churchill, Winston: [.34], [.57], [.104ff], [.112-13], [.252n]

It goes through four different styles and does four different replace operations.  All of them use wildcard.  All the wildcard expressions work correctly when used "manually" in the find/replace dialog.

When running this against an index with several thousand page references, this macro never works completely.  It seems to abandon randomly without a visible error message.  If I want to get it completely executed I have shuffle the order of the style names in the array and/or comment out some of the .Execute statements, and then run it again, multiple times usually. 

What am I missing here?

Sub MarkupIndex()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim current As String
    Dim styles As Variant
    styles = Array("index2", "index3", "index4", "index1")

    resetFindReplaceParameters ' placeholder for usual code

    For i = LBound(styles) To UBound(styles)
        With Selection.Find
            current = styles(i)
            .Style = ActiveDocument.styles(current)
            
            .text = " ([0-9]@)([,;\.\)^13])"
            .Replacement.text = " [.\1]\2"
            '.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
            
            .text = " ([0-9]@)n([,;\.^13])"
            .Replacement.text = " [.\1n]\2"
            '.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
            
            .text = " ([0-9]@)ff([,;\.^13])"
            .Replacement.text = " [.\1ff]\2"
            '.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
            
            .text = " ([0-9]@)[\-]([0-9]@)([,;\.^13])"
            .Replacement.text = " [.\1-\2]\3"
            .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
        End With
    Next i
End Sub

Getting totals of Table Columns in VBA

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 07:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have a table that is made up as 9 Columns, but I am adding and removing Rows.

What I want to do is get the grand totals of 4 of the Columns that are of currency.

They are Columns 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Row 1 is Headers, and not all the Rows contain a Price.

So what I want to do is...

     Total1 = SUM(Row2, Column5:RowLast, Column5)

     Total2 = SUM(Row2, Column6:RowLast, Column6)

     Total3 = SUM(Row2, Column7:RowLast, Column7)

     Total4 = SUM(Row2, Column8:RowLast, Column8)

In VBA Macro, where later in the Macro I set the above to a variable so that I can place the totals back in the Word Document within its Footer.

I need to...

     1. Set a Range for Total1 of Start: Cell(2,5) and End: Cell(LastRow,5)

     2. Then I need to add together that Range (Can be Blank Rows)

     3. Then Place the Total into the Footer

I need help with 1 & 2.

I will use the next line for 3...

     .Variables("Total1").Value = Format(Total1, "£#,##0")

and in the footer I will have the following Field Code...

     { DOCVARIABLE   "Total1" }

Thank you in advance,

Neil

Vastly different word count in Windows Explorer "properties" and in Bottom ribbon of opened document in Word 2007

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 06:55 AM PST

When I click on "properties" for a file listing in Windows Explorer (Windows 7) I get a vastly different Word Count number from what is listed in the bottom ribbon in the same opened document. For example, the "properties" word count for a particular Word 2007 document is 60,956 words. For the same document when actually opened in Word 2007, the bottom ribbon lists 77,638 words. I need to submit a document where word count is important. Why is there such a difference and which one is correct?

Additional information: I saved the document to be compatible with Word 97-2003.

Paragraph number converting auto number to fixed numbers

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 03:29 AM PST

Is there a way of converting automatically generated numbers into fixed numbers that do not change again?

What I mean by way of example: I want to quote some text extracted from another document in my document.. The other document has automatically generated 

has automatically generated para numbers. The section which I quote starts with para 30. I want to keep that same para number in my new document. Apart from typing "30" is there a way of freezing that number 30 and the para numbers that follow in my quotation? 

Safely deleting a reference (without affecting references).

Posted: 07 Mar 2014 12:03 AM PST

I am currently working on a project (thesis) with many references, and as I wrote I sometimes entered the same reference twice, and sometimes I used cross references (as I needed to cite the same source at multiple places).

Now is the time to clean all of that up, and I'm afraid I will encounter some kind of problem. Since I have the same reference entered multiple times, I was going to do a search (ctrl F) of each reference, then, when I find duplicates, assign them a cross reference of the first one and delete them (and making sure that the original reference is on top of the others).

Since some of these references are crossed, if I delete a duplicate, if there was any cross reference referring to it, I'm going to lose some information. My question is: I know how to find the original reference a cross reference is referring to (ctrl click), but is there a way to do the opposite (see if a reference is used in a cross reference)?

Thank you all in advance, this will be of great help!

Table form field shading stays when "Editing restrictions" switched on ...

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 10:42 PM PST

Hi all,

This one is really bizarre. I have developed a user entry form with Editing restrictions > Filling in forms activated. A user has reported that the field shading remains after a standard click-and-type text entry. "Bah humbug", says I.  Unfortunately, the user is right! This is weird. Has anyone else discovered this feature ... more to the point, does anyone have an explanation/solution for it?

For now, I have had to remove protection, but I'm not happy ... not after seeing what users can do to the rest of the form!

  • In case the information is not visible to anyone reading this post, I am using Word 2010 > Legacy Forms > Text Form Field.

Enlighten me, please!

is there a way to make closed tabs in notebook layout view stay closed when closing and reopening a document

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 09:13 PM PST

You know how notebook layout view lets you close whole sections of tabs? (So, for example, I can close a tab that has a whole lecture worth of class notes under it and not have to scroll through all those ages for the next lecture.) I'm wondering if there's a way to keep all of those from expanding every time the document closes and reopens. Right now, I keep my class notes open all the time because it's such a pain to reclose all the tabs or scroll through so many pages of notes. It just seems like a simple thing to fix, but I can't figure it out.

Autorecovery creates new file and does not save as old file name

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 09:10 PM PST

Whenever my Macbook pro restarts and autorecovery recovers something, it creates a new document that I then have to save separately and delete the old version. It didn't do this a few weeks ago. Normally, recovered files would automatically save themselves under the old file name. 

What's changed? It's really inconvenient.

Macro to make check boxes mutually exclusive not working

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 08:11 PM PST

I found some code for a macro to make check boxes exclusive, which works well on my machine but doesn't work at all on my colleagues' machines. Part of the method is to put the check boxes inside a frame, which disappears on other machines.

The document has to be distributed to others to fill in so that I can compile their forms into a large document later, so I saved it as a password-protected .docm. restricted to filling in forms. I'm using Word 2010 but the users might be on their home machines using any platform/OS. The check boxes are legacy form fields.

The code is from http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/ExclusiveFmFldChbxs.htm

I don't know any VB but I did read somewhere that macros should be available with the document wherever it's opened.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

I want to send out a document to several of our interntaional offices asking the same set of questions.  I will get back 10 responses (one for each location), answering each of the questions.  How can I merge the responses so that all responses are grouped together under each question without a massive cut and paste exercise.  In other words, I want a summary document that has Question 1 with all the individual reponses below for this question and then a section with Question 2 and all the country responses for this speicfic question.

Here is what my hoped for final document looks like...

Question 1

Country A response

Country B response

Question 2

Country A response

Combine Redlined Documents

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 04:34 PM PST

I have two documents that are redlined using track changes, one from the client and one in-house.  When I combine the two, their changes are one color and ours are another and each change shows the correct author.  However, when I save the document, all changes become one color and the author information is the same for all changes.

Is there a way to preserve, upon saving, the differences between the redline colors and authors?

Thanks.

Text's right margin is small when pasted

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 03:28 PM PST

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue when I paste a text into, word 2013, from another source. The problem is, the right margin of the text is small, so the lines' length could be half of the normal lines (less words a line). I tried to fix it by adjusting the right margin from the page layout but it did not work.

In other words, I need more words in the lines. The only way worked with me when I do it manually, by backspacing the following line to the previous one, for each line. Yes, it's time consuming when I have a large text. 

Could anybody help me please, thank you.

Here is an Example (It's not a poetry!):
