Microsoft Word - Sorry Error

Microsoft Word - Sorry Error

Sorry Error

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 02:59 PM PDT

So, today I tried to open my Office 2013 and it wouldn't open giving me the Error Message then to my utmost annoyance it appears that the -insert bad word here- corrupted my files or it simply won't let me open them because the program I paid for isn't working as it should! (And here I thought Microsoft still cared about us customers and our satisfaction) What should I do? Because I'm really starting to lose my patience seeing as this is the computer I use for Collage and all my works are here! What can I do to fix this program so I can use it again? I already tried it's suggestions and it still gave me the Error Message again

Help with restricting editing in Word 2010/2013

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 10:44 AM PDT

I would like to restrict the editing of a document; however, I am having problems - Let me explain and give you some context:

 

I want restrict the editing of my Resumé (CV for Europeans), so that Recruiters can only change/remove my contact details; but not the material contents of my profile, skills & experience etc.

 

I have tried doing this by:

 

1.  Selecting "Restrict Editing" - this is an option on the "Review" tab on the ribbon in the "Protect" section.  It is also available from the "File" tab on the ribbon, under "Protect Document" - and also on the "Developer" tab on the ribbon, also in the "Protect" section.

 

2. I then select option 2 "Editing restrictions" from the "Restrict Formatting and Editing" pane which appears when you select "Restrict Editing"

 

3. I then select the stuff that I will allow recruiters to edit; and save the document after applying the restriction enforcement. - so far so good

 

4. However, when I open the document; the bits that I have made editable are now highlighted and enclosed with "[ ]" brackets.

 

5.  I do not want the editable bits to be highlighted at all.  To be clear I have tried the following:

 

     5.a) Deselecting the "Highlight the regions I can edit" - save the document again and reopen it - it doesn't work

 

     5.b)  Going to Word Options and Selecting "Trust Center > Trust Center Settings... > Privacy Options" and unselecting "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" - Again; no dice - it doesn't work

 

    5.c)  I know that the effect can be achieved with a cheeky bit of vba code - however; by default "Trust Center > Trust Center Settings... > Protected View" options disable any code in documents from being executed - it can also be blocked by excitable virus filters or marked as spam - both of which are distinctly sub-optimal.

 

And then...

6.  ...I tried inserting Continuous Breaks and then selecting the "Filling in forms" option.  This option seemed to be quite exciting until I discovered the following:

 

     6.a) You can not un-restrict the content in the footer (I have my email address in the footer) - even if you try using text boxes...

 

     6.b) If you select part of the restricted section, or use the direction arrows, then the "form" jumps to the next editable bit - which for me is at the end of the document - which is not particularly conducive to scanning the document.

 

So...

My question is this:  Is there a way to restrict editing to certain parts of a document and NOT have those sections highlighted by default; OR the document jumping from  from one editable section to the next AND allows for footer content to be editable WITHOUT using any type of vba/macro code?

 

If you know the answer,  I would dearly love to know and would be very grateful - however; if you've just scanned this problem; please make sure that you have read 5. a), b) & c) and 6. a) and b).  You know...  just to be safe.

 

Many thanks.

 

Julian

 

 

decreased functionality in WORD and more under XP

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 10:26 AM PDT

Suddenly I have decreased function in MS WORD  - specifically the printing will not allow 'selection' to print and hangs up with distiller. This all started after installing the latest XP updates. I have completely re-installed both OFFICE (WORD) and also ACROBAT -- still MS WORD will not allow 'selection' of text to be used -- Acrobat distiller works great with WORD until REBOOT.

How indepth are the language packs?

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 09:31 AM PDT

I have used language packs before--in the 90's--and they seemed to be excellent!  However, with my NEW Win 8.1 machine running Ofice 365, the language packs, Spanish in particular seems to be lacking in content.

 It appears that the Spanish grammar checking tries to work, but fails on simple grammar mistakes.  For example, this sentence is incorrect: nosotros es in la patio. Grammar checker finds that la patio is incorrect and suggests: el patio.  Spell check determines that in is wrong and suggests en. However, es is wrong, should be estamos. This is basic Spanish grammar and if Word can't catch this--what good is it???

I've tried several versions of Spanish; Latin America, Spanish US, Mexico, and Spain, all with similar results.  Calls to support and questions on forums have led me to believe I've downloaded and activated the language pack, but this minor error that wasn't caught makes me wonder...is anyone else having this problem?

Something went wrong when i was trying to install error code 30088-4 please help

Problem saving Word files

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 08:07 AM PDT

Hi,

I bought a card with "Home and Student 2013" Office last year in the USA. I downloaded the program and activated it with the Product Key.

The Office generally speaking has worked well, except for the Word. Ever since I installed this version of the program, when I close down a Word file more often than not it takes me closing and clicking 5-6 windows that pop up asking me if I want to save a Normal file. If I say I want to save it, it says it can't be done. If I say I don't want to save it takes me thru a series of pup up windows before I am able to shut down the program, which is a slow and annoying process I never had to go thru with the former versions of the program I have own.

I have tried to add all the updates I found in the Office Website, check all the on line help I found and also deleting and reinstalling the program again, solving nothing.

The performance of the program is just not acceptable and I need some solutions, so I decided to write you for support. Is there a different place where I can download a working version of the program? If not, can you give me access to a former version that works? Or maybe you have some update solving the problem? Please, help me out.

What is the keyboard shortcut for Paste > Match Destination Format?

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 08:05 AM PDT

Does this work in Office 13? I cannot find "Main Menu> Tools > Customize keyboard" anywhere.

Microsoft Home 2013 won't open. Nothing works

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 06:37 AM PDT

Hi!

As many other people here, I cant open Office 2013 anymore

I am using Windows 8.

  This has to be a joke.  I paid a lot of money for it. 

I have Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Student. It will not open any of the program. I get a message that reads "Something went wrong. We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again."

Of course nothing works.  I find dozens of people who have the same problem, but not one moderator or Microsoft employee cares to help.

This should get fixed immediately.

Printing Envelopes

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 06:18 AM PDT

When I print a #10 envelope from a document, the final line - city, state and zip - of the recipient ends up as the bottom line in the return address. I tried using both a 4 and 3 line address and the bottom line always ends up in the return address spot. I'm using MS Word 10 and an Epson xp-300 printer. 

Thank you.

Annoying box around every line in word

DOCX document crashes Word 2013 / 365

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 03:29 AM PDT

Word 2013 starts up just fine, and i can create documents from within.

However, a document created at my place of work in word 2010 crashes my word 2013 at home every single time I try to open it. This document is sent to me and created in Word 2010, and opens just fine in two completely separate word 2010 installations on different computers at home. 

The document crashes upon attempt to load it into Word, the moment it shows up in word. To be clear: the "Word has stopped working" message overlies the document that appears to be displayed just fine. 

I tried to start word in safe mode, and it crashes just the same in Safe mode. 

I tried altering the document on a different computer with word 2010 installed and then sending it back to my word 2013 install, to no avail. 

I copied just the text of the docx document into a new document (fresh "normal" document) in word 2010, sent it to the other computer with 2013 and it crashes still.

I checked all the add-ons, there are non installed / checked in the com section. I do not have epson fine print installed. 

Last try was to remove all formatting from the text and copy it to a new document in word 2010, and then send it back to me in 2013. 

This worked, but the document looked nothing like the original anymore. There is a major formatting incompatibility in the normal.dot between 2010 and 2013...

Does anyone know a way to fix this incompatibility?I need to be able to open any and all 2010 document....

How can I DISABLE the autostyle function when I apply an outline level to a certain text? MS word'10

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 02:34 AM PDT

Simply put all I need is to KEEP the ORIGINAL text format when a level is applied. 

It's way too easy in '03, but in '10, OMG! I'm tired of going through paragraph box everytime(btw it should be an issue/prob as you can neither promote nor demote it's level in navi pane in '10)! especially when I have numerous and various levels to set and format painter will just mess'em up coz those texts have different formats even at the same outline level!  I just wanna xx disable the autostyle thing.

Any constructive/proactive SOLUTIONs? Do I need to degrade Office to '03 to get it right???

THANQ!

How to disable right-to-left text direction in Word2010?

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 12:24 AM PDT

Dear All,

I'm using Word 2010 English version.  

Every time when I use Ctrl + Shift to switch from English to Chinese IME, the editor will automatically switch to "Right-To-Left Text Direction", then I have to push the "Left-To-Right Text Direction" button to correct this.      However if I use the Language Bar to switch the IME, it would not bother me by automatic "Right-To-Left Text Direction".

I don't need "Right-To-Left Text Direction" facility at all.   I'm wondering if there is any solution to disable this right-to-left feature and stop Word from being too smart. 

Thanks, 

Mail Merge Rules "IF" Statement Quandary

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:50 PM PDT

Hi there. I am currently working on a mail merge with Word 2010.  The merge document is a service order ticket that I have to provide our techs when they go out on a job at a customer's residence.  It has the following box in the header of the form but should have 3 rows (for some reason the top row wouldn't paste here) and depending upon the customer's billing arrangement an X would appear in the cell within the appropriate column. Below that in the next row, the corresponding Contract or Billable $$ amount would appear.

The source data is in an Excel spreadsheet with customer info in the rows and columns for 'Contract', 'Billable' and 'Amount' -amongst others- that contain that customer's respective information. 

Is there any way to create an IF statement (or some other rule) that would only allow the $$ amount to appear underneath the cell marked X while the other remains blank? 

 

Contract Billable No   Charge



Thanks!

Word/Excel/etc won't open at all in 8.1

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 05:36 PM PDT

I purchased a new Toshiba laptop from Best Buy on Friday with 8.1 installed.  I downloaded and installed word 2013, etc.  The word and excel docs opened fine Friday.  I tried to open word on Monday and the program won't open at all.  No error messages or anything.  I tried to run the program in safe mode (windows button + R, paste winword /safe) and nothing happens.  Nothing opens at all.  It's like the program completely uninstalled except there's no error message telling me it's not there.

Word 2007 in Windows 8.1

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 04:08 PM PDT

I have a new desktop with Windows 8.1.  I am using Office 2007 (as I was doing on my old desktop).  It has stopped completing words as I type, and I don't know how to turn that function back on.  Word used to fill in days and months when I started typing, and used to fill in dates as well.  I've looked at Proofing options in Word but can't find how to turn this back on.  I use a wireless keyboard.  Thanks for any help.
