Is there a way to change the folder to which templates and the custom dictionary get saved?

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 02:50 PM PDT

Right now it is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates and C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof.  Is there a way to change the setting for this?

style separator stops heading 1 numbering

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 02:12 PM PDT

Hello,

I am another student who needs to figure out the heading and TOC issues.

My school is asking me to include the following headings for level 1:

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

But the TOC needs to only list:

CHAPTER

1. INTRODUCTION..............................xyz

2. CHAPTERTITLE 2.............................abc

Therefore I have tried to make a separate style for the word "CHAPTER" and then combine "1 INTRODUCTION" via a style separator.

At the point where I try to combine the 2 lines the numbering in the heading disappears. The TOC however still shows it. Also the sub-chapters are still numbered correctly. So it seems to count as a new ain chapter number, it just isn't displayed.

Any thoughts?

Any better suggestions on this topic?

Thanks,

Markus

A style I've created is not showing up on the style pane

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 08:15 AM PDT


I've typed something, selected it, clicked on New Style button, (found on the styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S)), selected the List format, baptized it "Titulo I", customized the style, and gave OK.


This newly created style applied itself alright to my selection, shows up in the Apply Styles... listing (Ctrl+Shift+S), but does not appear on the Style pane.


Why ?



In manage Styles:

  • All are permitted on the Restrict tab
  • All are shown on the Recommend tab
  • The newly created style Does show up in Edit tab


Once again, microsoft: Why !?



And by the way,

Why I cannot delete the Heading 1 and 2 from the style pane, when there is only In use style marked. This style is definitely NOT in use.

Disappearing PlaceholderText in Word Content Controls and how to fix them

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 08:05 AM PDT

Hi,
I have recently started using ContentControls in Word 2013.  They are pretty useful and the following pages have been a great help:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_controls.html
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/modify_cc_placeholder_text.html

But Content Controls are prone to a few nasty bugs, see http://shaunakelly.com/word/word-development/placeholders-in-word-content-controls-for-developers.html. 

The main one I've found is that the Content Control's PlaceholderText object can sometimes disappear.  In the real world, this means that if you clear any entered text from a Content Control, it will display five spaces instead of the placeholder text you original entered at design time.  I've found this bug to be particularly prevalent when Content Controls are placed in Headers or Footers.

To fix this issue I would like to propose the following solution:

Const bIncludeSquareBrackets As Boolean = True


Sub RepairContentControlPlaceHolderText()
' This procedure checks for missing PlaceholderText objects within each ContentControl.
' If a missing PHT object is detected, a temp Content Control is added to the start of
' the document and a copy of its PHT object is made which is then applied to any CCs
' with missing PHT objects.  Then the PHT.Text is set to be the same as the CC's Title.
'
    Dim cc As ContentControl, ccTemp As ContentControl
    Dim phtNew As BuildingBlock
    Dim sec As Section
    Dim ftr As HeaderFooter, hdr As HeaderFooter
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim lnRepCount As Long
   
    On Error GoTo ExitPoint
   
    Debug.Print vbCr & "Starting repair of Content Control Placeholder Text"
   
     'Insert a temp CC and copy its PHT object:
    Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)
    Set ccTemp = rng.ContentControls.Add(wdContentControlText)
    If Not ccTemp.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
        Set phtNew = ccTemp.PlaceholderText
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    ccTemp.Delete
   
     'Find any CCs with broken PHT objects and add in the phtNew object,
     'then reset the pth.Value to the correct string:
    For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections
         'FOOTER:
        For Each ftr In sec.Footers
            If ftr.Exists Then
                For Each cc In ftr.Range.ContentControls
                    If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
                        If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
                    End If
                Next cc
            End If
        Next ftr
       
         'HEADER:
        For Each hdr In sec.Headers
            If hdr.Exists Then
                For Each cc In hdr.Range.ContentControls
                    If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
                        If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
                    End If
                Next cc
            End If
        Next hdr
    Next sec
   
     'DOCUMENT BODY:
    For Each cc In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
        If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
            If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
        End If
    Next cc
   
ExitPoint:
    Debug.Print vbCr & lnRepCount & " Content Controls were repaired."
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then Debug.Print "Exited due to error: " & Err.Description
End Sub

Function AddPhtToCc(cc As ContentControl, phtNew As BuildingBlock) As Boolean
' Function to insert the parsed PlaceholderText object into the parsed
' ContentControl object.  The PHT.Value is then set to the same as the
' ContentControl's Title.  If the constant bIncludeSquareBrackets has
' been set to True, the placeholder text is enclosed in square brackets.
'
' Function returns True if the PHT object was successfully replaced.
'
    Dim strA As String, strB As String
   
    If bIncludeSquareBrackets Then
        strA = "["
        strB = "]"
    End If
   
    Debug.Print vbCr & vbTab & "'" & cc.Title & "' is missing a PlaceholderText object!"
    cc.SetPlaceholderText BuildingBlock:=phtNew
    If Not cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
        cc.SetPlaceholderText Text:=strA & cc.Title & strB
        Debug.Print vbTab & "PHT.Value updated to: '" & cc.PlaceholderText.Value & "'"
        AddPhtToCc = True
    Else
        Debug.Print vbTab & "Could not fix PlaceholderText object in " & cc.Title
    End If
End Function

Character spacing / line density in DOC saved as DOCX changes slightly

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 06:04 AM PDT

Hi,

I opened my Resume which a consulting company formatted for me as DOC.  I am using Word 2013.  The first thing I did was save the DOC as DOCX, and was prompted some minor formatting changes may occur.

The change I noticed is DOCX tends to fit a few more words per line than DOC did.  The paragraphs are fully justified in both versions, but the word spacing is "tighter" in the DOCX version.  So the DOCX fits a few more words per line and a few more lines per page.

The result is the page looks a little "denser" than before.  Since it's my resume, I'm not sure if prospective employers will like the "denser" look or not :-)

Is there a way in DOCX to control the word/ line density so it behaves more like the same file that was saved as DOC?

Thanks.

OneDrive nested folders problem on Office for iPad

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 12:02 AM PDT

For some reason I can't explain, all three iPad Office apps show the contents of my "School" folder on OneDrive in the same folder that the "School" folder itself is stored in. For example, the "School" folder is stored in the "Documents" folder and "Document X" is stored in the "School" folder. When I open the "Documents" folder in my iPad Office apps, "Document X" appears right next to the "School" folder, not in it. I have tried signing out and in, deleting Word and reinstalling it. The only solution, oddly enough, was to rename my "School" folder to anything else. Suddenly everything looked fine. Once I switched it back, it was screwed up again. I suppose the problem is fixed, but I would really like to be able to name the folder my school files are stored in "School". I can't imagine what is causing this. I have had problems with deeply nested files on OneDrive before, but I have more deeply nested folders than those in my "School" folder that work just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Word for iPad won't activate

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:20 PM PDT

I downloaded Word, Powerpoint and Excel for iPad yesterday and purchased a 365 Home Certificate. I tried to activate Word and am always given the message "Cannot Activate. This account doesn't have a paid Office 365 subscription." Then I tried activating Powerpoint and Excel -- knowing if you activate one, they're all activated -- and those won't activate either.

I have the receipt and Order ID from Apple and their phone support has been great, including today, Saturday. But ultimately, they can't help, because it's up to the developer (Microsoft). Everything is fine on the Apple side.

I have done everything possible, from rebooting, to reinstalling, to resetting my network connections, without success. So I tried to call Microsoft Support (through a link Apple kindly supplied) only to find they don't work on weekends.

I've searched the internet for solutions, but the program is so new that I appear to be the only one so far with a problem -- or maybe no one's buying a 365 Home subscription for the first time.

Any thoughts that don't include all the things I've already done would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Don

Windows 8.1 and Office 2013

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 07:46 PM PDT

My Windows 8 computer updated to 8.1, but now I can't open any of my Microsoft Office 2013 components.  When I click open the circles and then does nothing.  When I try troubleshooting it says that WinWord is not compatible.  Does that even make sense?  And how do I get into Word.  I'm taking online classes and I need to get into my files as well as do other writing for class.  Any help?

deleted office 2013 by mistake

I accidentally deleted office 2013. I purchased the home and student product from best buy and have the product code. How do I down load a new copy?

In Office 2013, text selection with a mouse is too sensitive.

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 03:17 PM PDT

In Office 2013, text selection with a mouse is too sensitive. If I want to select a letter, it selects the entire word or sentence. If I do not position the cursor just right, it will select the previous word or sentence instead of the following text segment.

This makes me have to do it again. It wasn't like this in Office 2010, and it's really annoying. Particularly if you work fast and select something to delete, you could delete the wrong thing. I first noticed this when Outlook.com updated over a year ago, and now the behavior has spread to Office 2013.

It's so bad, I often have to resort to keyboard selection shortcuts and abandon the mouse altogether. Basically, it sucks.

Is there any way to adjust this, or tell the Office team??
