Microsoft Word - I can't paste a live url link into my word docs

Microsoft Word - I can't paste a live url link into my word docs

I can't paste a live url link into my word docs

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 12:49 PM PDT

In older versions of word I used to be able to copy a url from my browser and paste it into a word document, to give me a quick way of linking to a web-page.  Now in word 2013 when I copy the url, the 'paste options' menu only shows 'keep text only', so it just pastes as plain text. Then I have to go through the rigmarole of turning it into a hyperlink separately, which is a real pain.  I've looked in the Options/Advance menus, but I can't see anything that will let me paste live url links into my word docs. If someone could tell me how to do this I'd be much obliged. Thanks.

no tool bar across the top on opening a docx sent to me. It has markups I need to turn off but can't.

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 12:23 PM PDT

no tool bar across the top on opening a docx sent to me. It has markups I need to turn off but can't When I try to print it I get the markups and the text is too tiny. I am usually able to get the tool bar and turn mark ups off, but I can't get any tool bar on top with this docx file that was sent to me via email. I have the lastest office 365 versions of Word.  There is a navigation box on the left of the copy  but it only has a selection to "Show Markups." There isn't a choice to "turn off markups" before I print it.

Opening A Word Doc With Manual Links Still Updates All Of The Links

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 11:58 AM PDT

I have a word docx with about 50 PPT links. I set up the links to be manually updated. When I open the word doc it still goes through and updates the links. It takes 30 minutes to open the file which is not acceptable. What is causing this behavior?

How to Stop My Mouse from Scrolling the Ribbon?

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 11:39 AM PDT

In Word 2010, for example, if I select a group on the ribbon (Home, Insert, etc.) by clicking on the group name with my mouse, and then I move the mouse wheel, I end up scrolling through the groups on the ribbon.

How can I stop scrolling through the groups on the ribbon when I move the mouse wheel?

Microsoft word 2010 starter not automatically opening default files right- also broken "Microsoft Application Virtualization DDE Launcher" file

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 11:35 AM PDT

I bought my computer from a Toshiba shop and it came with Microsoft Office Starter 2010 on it pre-installed.

I can't find Microsoft 2010 Starter in my programs folder or Start Menu. I have to use Word by opening a shortcut on my desktop or start bar and then using 'File, open... etc' rather than just clicking on my file and it choosing Microsoft automatically. 

I've tried (from Programs and Features in my control panel) to 'Change' "Microsoft Office Starter 2010" to repair it, and then right clicking my file to 'Open with...' to change the default to Microsoft word but there isn't a "Microsoft Application Virtualization DDE Launcher" to set it as the default launcher with. When I use the Search bar tool in Windows Explorer to find the file I find a file but when clicked it comes up with:

"The Application Visualisation Client could not launch the application you requested. An unexpected error occured. Please report the following error to your System administrator. Error code: *random numbers and letters*"

I'm a student so I'm too broke to afford full Microsoft so this Starter Version is necessary, and without going onto the Short-cuts on Desktop or Start Bar I can't access my files or Microsoft itself.

Please Help! Thankyou :)

fyi- I don't know if this is relevant to helping me but the source of the desktop and Start Bar file that I can't find anywhere else is ""C:\PROGRA~2\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\VIRTUA~1"  

Linking Word & Excel

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 11:18 AM PDT

Hello,

I am attempting to link microsoft word and excel and fix the links so they update relatively. I understand that if you do a paste special (with links) from microsoft excel to word, the link will have the file path name, cell information, etc, etc. When I hit alt+F9 in Word, i understand that i can alter these links (delete the path name, and only keep the file name) so that it becomes a temporary relative path to the excel document until i move the excel and word file into a new folder location (at which point it updates with the correct location of the current folder it is in, and still is picking up the new excel file). This process only works with a paste special with the 'formatted text' and the 'unformatted text' option. If i use the 'Excel objects' option to paste special a table, the link will not update when i move it to another folder. 

I understand this is kind of confusing to explain, but im just curious why 'Excel objects' does not maintain this relative temporary link after copying it to another folder. 

Thank in advance.

ALL CAPS ribbon menu

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 10:19 AM PDT

What's up with the ALL CAPS menu choices on the ribbon?  What year is it?  Is it 1985 again?  Is Office 2013 designed to run on the Apple II Plus?

Seriously, Microsoft, if you were going to make an absurd, irritating design choice like this, at least give the user an option to get rid of it.  How hard would that be?

Is there an easy option to change this that I missed?

Word VBA Range.Find with Wildcard

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 10:03 AM PDT

I know that if I use Selection.Find with a wildcard, and if Selection.Find.Execute is true, then the text that matches the wildcard is Selected.

If I use Range.Find, and Range,Find.Execute is true, where is the equivalent matching result?

The Microsoft documentation for Range.Find and Find.Execute do not specify where it is.

The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 09:54 AM PDT

Hi everyone.

I've just this problem and was unable to fix it using XML, despite my best efforts. I located the error column using WinRAR and Notepad++ but was unable to fix it. I used attempted to use the Rebuilder but this could not fix the issue.

I've uploaded the file at:

Is there anyone who could fix this for me?

Thank you in advance.

Random characters & messed up text

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 09:20 AM PDT

I want to start by saying that I do not know if my problem is starting with Pages or Word. I have a document that I created in Word 2010 (on my PC). I opened it in Pages (on my iPad), edited it, and sent it back as a Word doc. I opened it in Word - no problem - edited it more and saved it as a Word doc. Now, when I try to open it, there are Chinese characters in the place of some words, while other words are mixed and matched. For instance the phrase "You'll find it's anything but true" now says "yout closerates are respected true." The heading of my first chapter now says It啀Ȳ圀Ȳ壀Ȳ帀ȿ怀ȿ懀ȿ掀ȿ局ȿ媀ȿ壀ȿ圀. I have checked the language settings, and they appear fine. I've also tried opening earlier versions of the document. They open nicely, but also mess up after a save. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Bulleted Lists Within Word

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 09:08 AM PDT

Sometimes in a Word document, if I put a dash and then start typing it creates a bullet list, and others times it doesn't.

What causes this, and is there any way I can correct it?

Set default folder for mailmerge datasource

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 08:39 AM PDT

When I start a mailmerge by attaching an existing data source, Word goes to the folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\QUERIES

Can I change that folder somehow.

If not, the folder will not allow me to paste a shortcut to the actual location or file, is there any way to be allowed to paste a shortcut in the Queries folder? Windows (Vista) will let me post my data source there, but I don't really want to do so because this is not a part of my backup area.

The source is an Excel file normally stored in my documents folders.

Line down the middle of a Word file that I can't select

I've got a two column form that has a solid line running down between the two columns that I'm having trouble selecting so I can delete it. Most of the content of the form is in tables.  Please let me know how to select the middle line. I tried the select arrow and that didn't get it.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Suzanne. Works perfectly as usual!!

Have a great day and we'll try to do the same in spite of the blizzard outside!!

Microsoft Word 2010 - Reset Original HomePage for Word.

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 07:04 AM PDT

Word use to be simple. Now everytime I accidentally click on something - the entire program gets upset. I lost my entire toolbar for word. Now, it only says "File" & "format", that's it. How do I convert it back to the ORIGINAL HOMEPAGE for Word 2010? I do not want anything formatted, not a thing. I sick of tired of have to reset defaults, undo formats, etc.  I want a single line space for word - it's default is double space. Who in their right mind, composes letters in double space??? At this point, all I want is to reset the "Original HomePage" for Word - so I can get some work done. Thanks. 

Placed eps cropped in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 06:54 AM 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.

Too many versions of this infuriating software. Anyone any ideas?

Extract part of file name between two characters

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 06:20 AM PDT

My file name contains (text xx xx).docx

I want to extract the portion between the parens and store it so that I can insert it in the file as text and have it update when the file name changes.

This removes the extension, but I have not been able to figure out how to get the portion I want.

Sub MyVersion()

Dim V As String

V = ActiveDocument.Name
If Right(V, 5) = ".docx" Then
'    MsgBox ("subtract .docx")
    V = Left(V, Len(V) - 5)
ElseIf Right(V, 4) = ".doc" Then
'    MsgBox ("subtract .doc")
    V = Left(V, Len(V) - 4)
ElseIf Right(V, 5) = ".docm" Then
'    MsgBox ("subtract .docm")
    V = Left(V, Len(V) - 5)
Else
    MsgBox ("no extension yet")
End If

MsgBox "Version  " & V

End Sub

Upgraded Outlook 2007 to 2010 - now ALL office documents are corrupted!

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 05:22 AM PDT

Hi,

We recently upgraded our email system to hosted, cloud-based Exchange and were running 3 machines on Windows XP and 3 machines on Windows 7, all with office 2007 installed. We couldnt get the exchange to work on the XP systems, and in once case upgraded it's version of Outlook to 2010 (as provided by our exchange provider). This worked and Exchange was temperamental and slow, but okay.

However, that particular system could no longer open Word or Excel files, they would open as corrupted (gobbledy-gook of random characters).

We upgraded the XP systems to windows 7 operating systems this weekend, but as of this morning (Wednesday), now all of our documents on the network are showing corrupted and unable to open - across all machines. Files stored locally on a desktop for instance are okay, but all network documents and spreadsheets are corrupted, with Word/Excel giving the 'file conversion prompt' (windows default, ms-dos, other encoding).

Surely upgrading Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010, on an XP machine, would not cause other office applications to break? What also concerns me is how this has spread thoughout our network files, stored on a central server.

I have tried sending a sample file to a friend who gets the same conversion prompt (but none of the previews are legible), and have also tried renaming the file extension .doc to .docx, etc, opening in WordPad, Notepad, in Word Safe-mode, linking to a file and then updating the link source and Word's 'open to recover text' option but all to no avail.

The system that was upgraded can however open Word files received via email (.docx) without problem

Does anyone have any info (on the Outlook upgrade which seems a prominent event but also doesn't hold any valid reason to have impact on this word/excel document related issues) that may help, or things to try to recover our files and make them readable again?

Hoping for your help

Changing case with Alt,O

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 04:23 AM PDT

Please could anyone tell me how to retrieve the keyboard Alt+O shortcut that allows you to change the case of selected text to caps. on each word, sentence case, etc? (Shift+F3 doesn't do the same thing.) I had it, but it seems to have disappeared from my Normal template. It comes up with a box that says 'Office access key: Alt, O: continue typing the menu key sequence from an earlier version of Word'.

Screen shot option in word doesn't work for the Adobe Connect Window

Posted: 12 Mar 2014 02:26 AM PDT

I have the Adobe Connect classroom open. I go to Microsoft Word 2010 and select Screenshot and it shows me all the available windows. It shows thumbnail of all the windows available including the Adobe Connect window but the content of this window is not shown. I can work around this problem by using the screen clipping option and selecting the part of the screen where Adobe Connect window is open and this works fine. It is just that when I click on screenshot, I won't be able to get a picture of the Adobe Connect Window. Adobe Connect version is 9.1.1.

This is no serious issue but just want to confirm if this is a bug or if it is something that I am doing wrong.

Thank you for your help!

Equation Editor Shows Double

Posted: 11 Mar 2014 08:52 PM PDT

When using Microsoft Word;s Equation Editor, I occasionally encounter a bug where the equation that I am writing is duplicated right below it. You can only select the top equation. I'm using Word 2010, but I've also had this problem on 2007. 

Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to solve it?

UNABLE TO CONNECT WORD TO ACCESS APP

Posted: 11 Mar 2014 07:39 PM PDT

I am trying to pull data into a word merge document from multiple tables in an access web app.

I can achieve the required result in word connecting to one table in the web app using Microsoft OLE DB for SQL Server

I can succeed using the SQL Server Native Client 11 connection in Excel which creates a separate sheet for each table and populates the data from each table in the access web app.

When I try to use the SQL Native Client 11 to connect to word there is an option to unselect the connect to one table option but there is no later option to select multiple table. Also even when there is a connection to a single table the following error is produced:

Error message is Record 1 contained too few data fields

locking parts of word documents but not others

Posted: 11 Mar 2014 06:04 PM PDT

A client wants to restrict business forms so staff cant adjust the layout.  I have done this in Word by using text and check boxes and then protecting the document restricting editing to filling in forms.

However on one or two forms he wants the users to be able to add more lines of text to particular fields if they want to.

Im not sure how to lock all the other parts of the form down but allow the user to add more lines for some fields.

Is there a way I can adjust the text box to expand or is there another way to achieve this?

Thank you...

ps I am working in Office 2007 but the users will be in office 2003 through 2013.

Colored Characters in Word

Posted: 11 Mar 2014 05:31 PM PDT

Most of the Hebrew Point characters (also known as nekudot) in Microsoft Word all of a sudden appear in a mauve color. There is no character or paragraph formatting applied to them. Indeed, all the other letters in the same word appear black. Furthermore, old documents saved from before this problem began likewise appear with colored characters. This is not only on the screen - they come out this way in print, and when saving as a pdf, as well!

I am not having this issue with any other program. All old pdfs remain with all characters black. Even Microsoft PowerPoint is unaffected.

I am scratching my head in confusion, and pulling my hair in frustration.

Can anyone solve this one?

MS Word Table of Contents

Word 2013

Saving "Read-only recommended" not working as expected

Posted: 11 Mar 2014 04:22 PM PDT

Situation: there is a Word document in a shared folder used by several users. Most of the users want only to read the document, therefore, it would be preferred if they opened the document in a way so that others can modify it if needed. In my understanding, saving the document "Read-only recommended" (see more info here) would do the thing, but it doesn't work as expected.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Save a document with checking read-only recommended in a shared folder of COMPUTER1. Let's say it is test.docx.

2. Browse the document from COMPUTER2 and try to open it:

a) As expected, Word asks whether to open the document read-only.

b) Note, that while the a) message dialog is open, there is a ~$test.docx file besides test.docx, that is, the file is locked until you decide. That is fine.

c) Click yes so that the document is open read-only.

d) Note, that ~$test.docx file disappeared, as expected.

e) Don't close the document, but go to step 3.

3. Browse the document from COMPUTER3 and try to open it:

a) Now Word should ask whether to open the document read-only but it displays a diaglog box instead notifying that the document is locked by another user and asks whether you want to open a read-only copy, etc.


Note, that if you execute the steps of 2. from COMPUTER1 locally, then 3. works as expected!

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me to find out what happens here.

Thanks!

Microsoft office can't find my access

I bought a surface a bout 2 month a go and I downloaded Microsoft office that came with it. Now when I tried to access Microsoft word it kept on saying Microsoft office can't find your access?
