Updating a Table of Contents brings back an unwanted header and footer

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 03:48 PM PDT

I am trying to get rid of the header and footer on my two pages that consist of the table of contents. The layout of my document is as follows: Cover page, Table of contents (spans over two pages) then the body of my document starts on page 3. Currently what is happening is when I update my table of contents, it automatically brings back the header that is applied throughout my document. I don't want the header and footer on the two pages that I am using for my table of contents. I want the header and footer to start on page #4. I have tried creating breaks and everything. Any help please. Thank you.

Word 2010 Heading/footer wanted only on first page

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 03:02 PM PDT

I am creating a newsletter with a header and footer on the first page.  I do not want the header and footer to be shown on following pages.  I just want it shown on the first page.  I clicked on the Odd and Even page but the header and footer appeared on the 3rd page.  How can I turn off headers and footers for all subsequent pages?

Paragraph Marks

Hi Guys,

Need help on inserting paragraph marks before/after a table in MS Word.

When I click on the end of the table and pres enter, it just creates another cell rather than moving to a new paragraph. How can I stop that from happening?

Underlining In a Word Table

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 12:47 PM PDT

I will admit that I am not very good at Word. I am much better in Excel. If this is a basic question I apologize in advance.

I am inserting a table in a Word document. In some of the cells I would like to have underlining appear across the entire bottom of the cell regardless of how wide the column that contains that cell becomes. This underlining could be either a single or double underline. Can someone explain how to do that?

Thank you very much.

Word document protection

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 11:27 AM PDT

I know how to protect a document but I want to have some options for the person viewing it.

What I am creating is a form. It contains questions with select-able options for answers and comment boxes. I can currently lock the form so they can only fill out the form BUT I also want them to be able to highlight the questions and remarks and copy them to their clipboard to be reattached in their own document if desired. 

I just don't want the questions to be changed. only answered and copied to a clipboard WITHOUT the password to unlock the form.

Thank you for your help

Bug in TOC?

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Good afternoon all!  I am hoping someone can assist me with a TOC formatting question.  I have special styles for the headings in a document that I am working in, and I only want those headings to show up in the document.  They are Noble Style 1, Noble Style 2, and Noble Style 3.  When I go to create the TOC, I click on options to change the styles to be these instead of the default Headings 1, 2, and 3.  I also modify the TOC 1, TOC 2, and TOC 3 so the formatting is the correct version.  But, when I click on okay to create the TOC, the formatting is not correct (specifically for TOC2) and when I go back into the "Options" area, Headings 1, 2, and 3 have been reverted back to TOC levels 1, 2, 3 respectively.  The Noble Styles 1, 2, 3 are also listed as TOC levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively.  How can I keep the Headings from defaulting back, and make sure the TOC formats correctly.  I have deleted the TOC and started over numerous times.

This is the way the TOC looks when I am inserting it:

This is the way the TOC looks after I have inserted it and it is incorrect: 

I do not have any text in the body of my document that has the Headings style (I have double checked that). 

Oh, one last thing.  I have unchecked the "Outline Levels" button a few times while attempting to create the TOC.

Thanks for any and all help!

"Commonly Confused Words" it's (it is) and its (possessive)

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 11:01 AM PDT

Word 2013 (on my Surface) is often incorrect in its assessment of my "it's" and "its" use. (Word puts a blue squiggly line under a correctly used form.) Yet, my word 2007, on another computer, is accurate in its "it's/its" assessment. Annoying. Can I remove "its/it's" from being checked on the Surface?

Corrupted .Docx Unspecified error Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 10:06 AM PDT

I am having a similar error.. 

In my office most all our reports are based off of one template, When I open the template blank I don't see this error, however after saving and re-opening it with new data I receive this error..

Most of the time I'm able to recover the file without any noticeable data loss, however I would like to kill this bug so it's no longer a problem.

I tried the solution Girish M. suggested Here but that seems to be the solution for a different problem.. 

Here is a corrupted docx file to demonstrate my problem.  ---> Corrupted Docx

And here is the blank template I would like to fix the problem on so new docx based on this template will not be corrupted.. ---> Blank Template

Thanks in advanced for any suggestions!

OS = Windows 7 (Currently up-to-date with all updates)

Can't WORD just leave me alone??? NO bells and whistles!! :(

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 09:22 AM PDT

Just downloaded Office 2013 (including WORD) and I have the usual complaint.  Is there somewhere you can turn off all the bells and whistles???  I just want to type using my own methods - space bar, tab, etc.  My biggest pet peeve is when doing an outline.  It keeps wanting to "help" and set it up for me.  Also, making spaces between words and paragraphs.  Is there somewhere where you can just shut everything down and use it like a typewriter, adding what you want, not adding what they THINK you want??

Frustrated!

Why should I digitally sign my macros?

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 09:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I have created a certificate, placed it in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder, and signed my macro project with it. Since the code will be distributed within my company, security by means of a digital certificate has been asked for.

I tested this on a virtual machine on my laptop. The macro security settings in Word are set to "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros". But when I load the template with the macros, the notification bar appears, stating that my macros have been disabled. This is not the case when I put the template in a trusted location.

I messed with the project's code, and a message box popped up that forced me to choose between not saving the template, or removing the digital signature. Yes! I chose the latter. After restarting Word, however, the macro runs smoothly with no warning whatsoever - this is of course due to the trusted location. It would be nice if in this case "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros" somehow had priority, but no.

Two questions (of which A is by far the most important):
A: What do I gain by having my code signed?

B: When I wanted to sign my code again, my certificate was not shown any longer. Why is that?

Thank you,

Cooz

I need help with page numbers.

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:48 AM PDT

I read all the posts, and I must be an idiot. Can somebody write a numbered step-by-step process for what I would like in my business plan?

I have 25 pages:

  • Cover page (pg. 1, no page # needed)
  • Table of contents (pg 2-3, no # needed)
  • Mission statement (pg. 4, roman numeral I needed)
  • Executive summary (pg. 5-6, roman numerals II-III needed)
  • Business plan (pg. 7-21, page # 1-15 needed)
  • Appendixes (pg. 22-25, roman numerals I-IV needed)

Can somebody help me out? 

How to have numbers display as currency values in Word table?

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:33 AM PDT

Gentlefolk;

I have a Word table which is in a document that is driven by a series of macros, given to me by macropod.

This works wonderfully for what I need, but I would like to have the numbers entered into a Word table cell to be displayed as dollar values.

For example, "125" would be displayed as "$125". In this case there is no benefit to having trailing decimal and zeros ($125.00). The numbers I am dealing with are large enough that the cents would just get in the way.

Word tables don't have this format built in, so I need a simple VBA script, or an equivalent solution.

So far, my Googling has not helped at the level I need assistance.

Thx!!

Microsoft Office Suggestion

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:29 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but the thought just occurred to me, and yes this could be a random suggestion to most but why not incorporate a fail safe with Microsoft Office when it comes to saving files. 

I can't even remember how many times I spent a lot of time working on a project on for example Microsoft Word and then exiting accidentally when clicking "Don't save" instead of "Save". What I'm trying to get at is wouldn't it be better to just send that unsaved file to the Recycle Bin rather than just completely wiping it off your system, then if you really wanted to deleted you did the usual and just remove all items from the Bin?

Just a thought, and an idea that would hopefully be implemented into the future updates.

Omit TOC page number for certain Heading styles

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:27 AM PDT

Fellow sufferers!

I want certain heading styles to simply not show the page number in the TOC. This is because anyway they appear on the same page or two pages, because they are at a very low level. It will be easier to read the TOC if only 1., 1.1, and 1.1.1 levels have a ".................................34" page indication, but not e.g. 1.1.1.1.1.

Please help me, it will be great if you can!!

Best wishes,

If ... then ... else statement inserting a Merge Field

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 07:21 AM PDT

I want to create a mail merge document that inserts data when the merge field is "Not Blank" and inserts a line of text when the merge field is blank.

Specifically, in the Rules setting's "If... then... else" option, I wish to set it up as:

If <<Email>> is not blank

Then, insert this text:  <<Email>>

Else, insert this text:  "Not known"

I do not know how to format the "Then" text to insert a data field rather than simple text.   Any advice?

Thanks!!!

Microsoft Word 2010 not spell checking

Hi

I have read about 20 posts now, and I cant seem to fix my problem.  My Word 2010 seemed to have stopped spell checking.  It is still grammar checking, but not spell checking.

This is a problem, as English is not my first language.

I have checked all the right boxes and set the proofing language, but nothing seems to be working.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks.

Locking the layout when creating a fillable form in Word 2010

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 06:24 AM PDT

I have created a fillable form using Word 2010s "developer" tab. 

Is there a way to lock the spacing of the forms text so that when I type into a field, it doesn't move the other information around it?

For example:

First Name:  click to add text      Last Name:  click to add text

When I click next to "Fist Name" and type in the name, I want the spacing between "First Name" and "Last Name" to remain the same.  Right now, when I start typing, "Last Name" moves left and then is pushed right as I type.  

To SAFELY edit a Word's embedding Excel component INDEPENDENTLY from Word

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 05:58 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Word 2013 (.docs) document with a couple of Embedded Excel components that are editable from within the Word.

The issue is that working with those Embedded Excel components is a heavy task for my PC and I see it gets slow. As a workaround, I changed the Word file extention (.docx) to Zip file (.zip); and then I could access those embedded Excel components as individual files from within the zip file at the folder "word\embeddings" without the need to open my Word document.

I am asking whether it is SAFE to unzip these Excel files and edit them directly through Excel and then to zip them back to their original folder.

Your opinions about the safety of this practice, any improvement, or any idea to work with those embedded Excel components independently from the Word file are very WELCOME and would be HELPFUL.

Can Word 2013 put footnotes underneath a column?

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 05:43 AM PDT

I am working on a trifold brochure and want to insert a footnote that stays with the column I'm working in. Instead of dropping the footnote to the far left of the page, I want it to be under the column the footnote is marked in. How can I accomplish this? This was automatic in the opensource app I was using, but seems nearly impossible to figure out in Word. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Word Web App Page Breaks

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 05:32 AM PDT

Word Web App does not display automatically generated page breaks. Thus, making editing a document almost impossible. Thus, making Word Web App completely useless to me or anyone else who desires to get any editing of a document accomplished.

Is there a way to display pagination in the editing view without having to save every single line and guess where the page break is and go back to reading view only to find out that you are two or three lines off?

Copying office preferences

Posted: 18 Mar 2014 02:57 AM PDT

Hi,

Is it possible to copy the file where the preferences are stored and apply it to a different computer without having to enter the program and manually fill them in? And if so, what is the name of the file, and in which directory can I find it?

I am trying to make several systems have the same settings, and it would save a lot of time for me :)

Microsoft Office 2013 - Tabstopp in Header line

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 10:47 PM PDT

Hi,

I am just preparing the layout of my bachelor thesis using Office 2013 and stumbled on the first step.

I wanted to create a header line on a new document, containing the chapter title and the page number on the right corner.

In Office 2010 i used to change the format of the header line and set one tabstopp to 16cm (right justified) for the chapters title - and another one  and 17,5cm for the page number.

Here's what it looks like in Word 2010:

When trying the exact same in Word 2013 it totally messes up the format:

The preview on Word 2010 and Word 2013 are exactly the same - but the result on the page differs. On Word 2013 it seems to wrap the line on the pages right corner.

Funny workaround: Saving an empty document in Word 2010 and open it in Word 2013 enables 2013 to format just like 2010.

Do you know if that's a bug or a feature?

Thanks and Regards,

MS Word Not For Me

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 07:43 PM PDT

I tried Word for a while. I could not find anything I liked in it. I have been using Corel WordPerfect for a very long time and will stick with that. I also worried that MS wants too much of my computer online. I hope others feel like I do.

SharePoint Metadata and Microsoft Word (Office 365)

Posted: 17 Mar 2014 11:59 AM PDT

We have a SharePoint document library.  In this library, there is a custom content type which is a Word file that has about 7 properties.  2 of the properties are drop down lists.  When you create a new document from the library with this content type, it opens the document panel at the top of Word and shows these 7 properties to fill out.  Nothing out of the ordinary there...

We have a single user (so far) who after being upgraded to Office 365 ProPlus can only choose one of the first 12 or so entries from 2 of the drop down in this property panel.  If she tries to click on any values lower down in the list, it does nothing...as if she hadn't even clicked an option.  We have updated her to the latest version of Office 365 (15.0.4569.1508) which made no difference.  We also had her try performing an 'Online Repair' of Microsoft Office 365.  Same result.

Anyone else ever seen this?  Suggestions?
