Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 Markup

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 Markup

MS Word 2013 Markup

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:40 PM PST

Hi Community,

I wanted to know how to stop markup within a document from showing up every time you open it?

I switch it to final view to hide them, but, when I open the document again, it still shows the markup.

Appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Problem with mail merge and embedded excel link in Word - Involves VBA

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 12:05 PM PST

Hi everyone,

This is my first question here, I believe it is a pretty specific question, hopefully someone has encountered a similar issue or just has a better solution!

I've made a VBA sub to select all the InlineShapes(i) in my word document (mainly the embedded excel links) and reset them to 70% aspect ratio scale (see the code at the end of this question).

Now, on my other files, my links were "straight up" meaning, they were simply added to the word document ; looking something like :

{LINK Excel.SheetMacroEnabled.12 "\\\\psf\\Home\\Dropbox\\Rentes collectives 2\\Clients\\5 I-L\\LEPROHON INC\\3 REVUE ANNUELLE\\Année 2013\\Prohon_Test.xlsm" "ApercuR2!Apercu2"}

Which is just a portion of an excel tab. Nothing fancy here....

Now, the problem is that i've now made a new word document, this time using mail merge fonctionnality.... and with different results of the condtional formula

{ IF Mergefield X = "Test result" "result true" "result false" } 

The result if true is an embedded excel link and if false, another mergefield test with another embedded excel link result and so on. 

Now when i run my macro, the macro crashes because the InlineShapes(i) that is part of the conditional that is FALSE (so the unused embedded excel link) cannot be scaled down and therefor, the macro stops to execute rather than skipping it and go to the InlineShapes(i+1) and so on.

WHAT CAN I DO????

Thanks a lot everyone, see the code below perhaps my syntax for InlineShapes can be modified to avoid this error.

Francis


Sub Changement_grandeur_tableaux()

Dim i As Long
Dim lngMainDocInlineShapes As Long 'la valeur max pour le compteur i.e. le nombre de tableau
Dim intScale As Integer 'variable pour l'entrée manuel du taux d'ajustement des tableaux

intScale = InputBox("Veuillez inscrire le % d'ajustement désirer (normalement 70) ; ne pas écrire de %")

lngMainDocInlineShapes = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count - 1
    'j'enlève 1 puisqu'il y a 5 "shapes" avec le logo GFMD donc je ne veux pas sur les 3 premiers ni le dernier
    'j'ajuste donc mon compteur pour qu'il "start" 5 et finisse à count - 2 (avant dernier logo = bug)

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'For i = 5 To lngMainDocInlineShapes
    With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(9)
        RelativeToOriginalSize = False
            LockAspectRatio = True
                .ScaleWidth = intScale
                .ScaleHeight = intScale
    End With
'Next i
   
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox "Tous les tableaux sont maintenant ajustés"
    
End Sub

Strange symbols on Word 2010 interface (on each Page)

Create Word file from macro/script based on a template

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:15 AM PST


Maybe there is no point to what I want to do or it can not be done the way I imagine it can be done.

Here it goes:
1. I have a template with various formatting, tables, etc.

2. I want to store all of those elements as a function or object.

3. Then create that file entirely from a script.

I think that what I am looking for is routine that tell me all of the objects, etc that exist in that template, then store it as descrition that another script can recreate without having the original template.

Is this possible ? I suppose this could be easily done with Visual Studio, but that's beyond what I know how to work with.

Yes I am still stuck working with Office 2007

Cheers

Why is it taking Microsoft so long to correct the Text Boundaries issue in WORD 2013 when users are clearly unhappy with this feature?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:08 AM PST

I also rely on text boundaries. The strange lines I had to put up with in WORD 2013 was too much of a distraction to make this a workable program for word processing so I have reverted back.

This strange presentation of Text Boundaries is clearly problematic for most users. All comments are negative in all forums I've read. No positive comments.

"Arrange All" format

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 08:42 AM PST

I have Word 2013 and use Windows 7.  When I use "Arrange All" to review multiple documents, I get only the stacked arrangement.  This is not convenient for reviewing multiple versions.  Has the Tiled option gone away from previous versions of Word?  Can I get it back?

word stopped displaying files in the selected page layout

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 08:36 AM PST

I have been using Word 2013 downloaded through 365 for several months.  This morning I went into files that were formated to 5.5 by 8.5 and they didn't have a format.  It went to 12 inches wide and didn't tell me what page I was on.  On the bottom row it only shows the number of words on the document.  No page 3 of 458 or anything like that.  I checked on another computer that I downloaded the same program from and it worked fine.  What have I done and what can I do to fix it.  I don't think there is an update feature because that is all done automatically.  Do I need to reload it on my computer?  and if I reload a program on the same computer that was loaded before will it use up another downloaded version of office?

Can't Save my WORD documents

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:14 AM PST

  Recently when saving a WORD document....the program will slow down and give me a WORD (Not Responding) message. When I "x" out of the program...I am given the options to "wait" or "close program"...etc... I close the program and the next time I open WORD...it tells me that I have documents that were not saved correctly and if i would like to open them. I am a little confused that this has started to happen since I haven't made any changes to speak of on my computer other than MICROSOFT updates. I am assuming something there is causing trouble. Up until now, Office 365 has been working great, so any assistance would be appreciated....Thanks.

Using VBA to Compile Several Independent Documents into One- Images and Graphics keep getting messed up

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:06 AM PST

Hi everyone,

   I greatly appreciate any insight anyone might have into this puzzler (but hopefully not a mystery for someone else out there) I have.  I have a document that I am generating through VBA via a list of document names in a macro-enabled document (like a "picklist"), and everything is working excellently except roughly 1/3 of the images and graphics in the independent source documents come into the compiled document resized, or the text boxes have completely changed (same text of course, just formatted completely differently and usually with a bunch of extra lines added surrounding the text), or the constituent shapes resized or moved (even when grouped previously). Yet, 2/3 of the images and graphics come through perfectly, and are/were made in the exact same way, same structure and formatting as the 1/3 that do not.  I think the issue lies in the copy and paste lines of the code (see below) and how these images get passed to the clipboard and then passed to the final document, but I've tried all sorts of variations using "PasteSpecial" and such and it just breaks the rest of the document that previously came in just fine. I have tried:

  • Making sure all of the elements of the images are grouped in the source file - something in the Copy/Paste process in the script ungroups the problematic graphics but the other 2/3 remain grouped after running the script
  • Copying into an intermediate blank document to check the behaviour of the Copy/Paste functions
  • Using "PasteSpecial" to insert as various image types- but because the script uses the entire document for the range, this applies across the whole document and does not work well
  • Copying back into the source document as a PNG image- works well with the script but changes the appearance of the graphic (lighter lines, fainter text, etc.)

 I am trying to avoid having to recreate each and every one of these images and save them as a PNG or some other lossless file type (so as to try to avoid the fainter lines and text in the resulting picture file), but it might be the only option left.

My Compile module:

Sub CompileDescriptions()
   
    Dim Range2 As Range
   
    targetfolder = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2) 'look for target folder in second paragraph
    targetfolder = Trim(Left(targetfolder, Len(targetfolder) - 1)) 'get rid of spaces and paragraph symbol

How Do I Get File Path To Display in Word & Excel 2013?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 06:54 AM PST

I can't find bar showing the path to my files when I use Excel or Word 2013.  In 2007 it

displayed at top, and showed the folder, subfolder, file and drive.  You always knew which version

of the doc you were working on. Now I can't see which drive or folder I am in.  

Only way I can identify folder is to open file, then open save as.  Looking for way to have that display on

same screen as the doc.

Is there a simple way that I can have the file path shown on the screen?  Surprised that 2013 dropped

this feature - seems like a no brainer that everyone would want to easily see the path.  

 I did read one response here  to a similar question, but it was enormously complicated.  Hoping there's

a fix that's more straightforward.  Thanks.

MacroButton field with image acts differently in .docx format than in .doc - selects image rather than field

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:12 AM PST

When a MacroButton Field is inserted in a document using an image or button as the prompt, it makes a difference whether the document is in .doc or .docx format. When it is in .docx format, the image itself is selected by the click, rather than the entire containing field.

This intercepts the mouse click when in .docx format and any macro is not run.

Here is a screenshot in the .docx format with the macrobutton field clicked on:

Here is a screenshot in the .doc format (same document) with the macrobutton field clicked on:

When the document is in .doc format, the field is selected and the macro runs.

Both of these screenshots were from Word 2010. Word 2007 is the same. Is this just something that I have to live with? I have not yet tried it in Word 2013.

In the .docx format a Content Control might work instead but if one is trying to create documents or templates that will work in legacy versions, that is not a solution.

VBA Word Footer Page xx of yy

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:06 AM PST

I need to replace all header and footer info in many Word documents.

The new data is entered via a UserForm

My code extract is as follows:

' ------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 

Dim oApp As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim oSec As Word.Section

Dim strTitle As String
Dim strVersion As String
Dim strClassification As String
Dim strPageInfo As String

Dim xx as Long

Dim yy As Long

strTitle = TextBox1
strVersion = TextBox2
strCopyright = TextBox3
strPath = TextBox4
strClassification = ComboBox1

ActiveDocument.Repaginate
yy = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyPages)
MsgBox yy ' For testing

    For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections  ' Delete all existing header and footer content
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""

        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""
    Next oSec
   
    For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections  ' Write new header and footer content
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Name = "Arial"
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Size = "20"
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Color = wdColorDarkBlue
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = strPath
       
        strPageInfo = "Page xx of " & yy
        ' oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers.Add
       
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Name = "Arial"
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Size = "10"
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Color = wdColorDarkBlue
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = strTitle & vbTab & strVersion & vbTab & strPageInfo & vbCr _

        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Borders.Enable = True
       
    Next oSec

Unload Me
End Sub
' ------------------------------------------------------------

Everything works OK, except for the "Page xx of yy" part. The value of 'yy' is calculated correctly.

How do I calculate and print the 'xx' part?

standard paper sizes missing Office Word 2007 (home & student)

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 04:50 AM PST

I have office Word 2007 (home and student) running on windows 7. I need to use A5 paper size but it is not in the list of available paper sizes. I thought there were supposed to be quite a few paper sizes, but at the moment I can only see Letter and A4 or custom (which has to be set for each new document). with only 2 or 3 paper sizes in my copy of Word, I think there is something wrong. I have reloaded office and done a 'repair', and ensured the printer driver is loaded also. I had this copy on a previous machine, and my engineer assures me that the licensing is all correct, although I was able to get A5 when this copy of Word was on my previous machine.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the proper variety of paper sizes installed?

Track case changes with a macro

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:27 AM PST

Changes made with "change case" are not tracked. Which makes things difficult for an editor who spends a great deal of time reigning in excessive capitalization. So I created a very simple macro:

_______________________________________

Dim oSelect As Range
Set oSelect = Selection.Range

oSelect.Find.ClearFormatting
oSelect.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With oSelect.Find
        .Text = "([A-Z])"
        .Replacement.Text = "\1"
        .Forward = True
        .MatchWildcards = True
    End With
    oSelect.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

 Selection.Range.Case = wdLowerCase____________________________

But right at the last bit of that, we run into trouble, because it changes the case of the deleted letters, as well. The odd thing is that if I comment out the change case part of the macro and then run the macro and manually change the case, all is well. The words are lowercase and the deleted letters remain uppercase. Yet for some odd reason, I can't get that part of the functionality into a macro--I have to do two separate steps: replace the capital letters, then use regular Word ChangeCase functionality.

Also, if I have already made changes before running this case-change, I often see buggy behavior, such as doubling of letters.

Ideas?

Best Approach to use - - MACROBUTTON NOMACRO [click here and type <whatever.]

Problem with headers when completing a document

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:05 AM PST

Hi

i am trying to complete an application form with pre set headings on it. The last part of section A finishes with a table that does not fit on the page. I am able to expand the table but it then goes onto the next page with the header for section B. I have tried inserting blank pages, putting in page breaks. I have also cut and pasted a page with a section A header but this changes all of the headings to section A all through the rest of the document. This is a really important application form for me and I am getting desperate. Please help.

Is it possible to paste a saved file to an email body and have it look exactly as the file?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 01:24 AM PST

I have a text doc that I use with email.  It is letter with instructions for the viewer to follow.

When trying to insert (as text)  it becomes junk. 

I know i have seen tutorials making it sound and look easy, but it is not working here.

Any sentence which got to the margin without a period, doesn't wrap and just keeps going.

How do I stop that?  It cant be that hard...right?

Might sound like im kidding, but i am not.

Setting margins in outlook doesn't help at all.

Thank you

Font and size keep changing on my Word documents

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 07:54 PM PST

Ever since I Purchased an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 8 64 bit my Word documents fonts are all messed up. The size doesn't stay true to what is set. I can set it at 10 using any of the font styles, usualyy Airel, and it comes up really small or huge. Then I click on the large or small A's at the top and go into set a default but it never stays that way though I have saved it. At one point a technician got on remotely and set it but then when IE started acting up and then everything else became unstable I did a full recovery and lost the settings. I can't get it straightend out. I am so tired of struggling with this crazy system.  I wish I could post on here and get answers but lately I haven't been getting any answers. They used to be pretty good about quick responses on here. I can only think there are so many problems with this system that no one can keep up with addressing the problems!

How to transfer .rtf files from Word 2003 to Word 2013.

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 06:51 PM PST

How can I transfer .rtf documents created by Word 2003 and get Word 2013 to display them in their entirety? I transferred five Word documents created by Windows XP Word 2003 via thumb drive to Windows 8.1 Word 2013. When I opened the documents with Word 2013, only a fraction of the documents displayed. MS Tech Support insisted there was no problem. I insisted that another tech support person help me. He logged on remotely to both of my laptops, transferred the files, and duplicated the problem. He insisted that I must (1) copy all .rtf files, (2) save them as .doc files, (3) transfer them, (4) open them with Word 2013, and finally, (5) save them as .rtf files. Since I have scores of documents I need to transfer from my Windows XP laptop to my Windows 8.1 laptop, this is not an acceptable solution. The tech support case # is 1237478006. Please advise me how to get Word 2013 to accept .rtf files without conversion to the .doc format.

Multilevel list starting from 0 instead of 1

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 05:35 PM PST

I've been using a multilevel list format for typing my uni notes so I can crossreference specific points easily. Anyway I was typing up notes from a particular paper that should have been number 44, but the number being displayed in the file was 43. The start of the list has somehow changed to 0 instead of 1 and now will not change back. In fact if I try and change the numbering value to 1 it puts 0's in to start the other levels whereas currently it's only changed level 1 of the list. I'm not sure what's happened but I had been having trouble adjusting list indents prior to my noticing this change (no matter what values I changed on the indents it shifted everything over to the right). Anyone come across this?

I have a logo image that I'd like to add an address.  I'd like to put both, text and image, into a textbox so it's one item/object/thing so I can take it and insert it into another Word document easily, one fell swoop.  Is there a way of encapsulating a textbox like this as an object? 

Currently, its easy to insert the logo.  What I'm looking for is the ability to insert this "object" if you will, as easily as inserting an image.

Is there a way of doing this and if so how?  What would the file type be?  And how would I insert it?  (PS: I could add the text to the image as a .jpg but when the image gets resized the text would not come out as clear.  Also, I'd like more control and the ability to resize the text, the image, change the text color and text size, etc., like you'd be able to do within a textbox with text and an image.)

Thank you,

Dax

mail merge to pdf with windows 7

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 03:48 PM PST

I am using windows 7 operating system and Word 2007.  I maintain quarterly reports for clients that, at the end of each period I was always able to print the batch to a pdf file for archiving and regulatory purposes.  The current Word 7 allows me to save an individual document as a pdf file but I cannot find a similar option in the mail merge print function.  How do I accomplish this type of batch conversion from word to a pdf file?
