Microsoft Word - Word 2010 mail merge to Directory is dropping some address blocks

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 mail merge to Directory is dropping some address blocks

Word 2010 mail merge to Directory is dropping some address blocks

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 02:44 PM PDT

I have an address file generated by a calligraphy program that only prints to a lettering bed. 
In order to print out a proof list for the customer,
I converted the calligraphy address file to WordPad, and saved it as an RTF file. 
Then I added an extra _ to the first record, and changed the field and record delimiters to $,! respectively. 
I wound up having to take out the paragraph marks, also.  I replaced them with $, a field delimiter. 
When I try to use Word 2010 to merge into a Directory, Word skips any file that doesn't have the same no. of lines as the first record.
 It tells me "Record # contained too many data fields." The first one usually has 3 lines: name, addres, city. 
Sometimes there are 4 or 5 lines, though because of an apartment number or other people living at the same address.
 The Automerge Field and Automerge Field1 that Word adds, doesn't seem to help. 
How can I get Word 2010to accept a variable number of lines in this address file?
 I am using Windows 7 at home and Windows XP at work.  Thanks for your help.
 PS. I've converted the RTF file to a Word 2010 file, and it still doesn't work.
I also need to alphabetize the names.
 Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
 I've already lost 2 calligraphy orders because I can't give the customer a proof list.

My word 2007 not saving

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 01:55 PM PDT

Hello,

My 2007 Word is not saving. I opened an old resume to update it and made the changes and continued to save as I went, assuming it to be saving but when I went to do a "save as", it responded the same way a save would but did not open the window to change the name/location. When I went to close it, it kept asking me if I wanted to save but nothing would happen. When I finally clicked no it would close without any of the new material. I tried to send it to myself while writing it sure enough it did not save any of it.

Any help would be appreciated. It's really not a good time to have to purchase anything.

Out of work, Out of luck:(

I can't open Microsoft Office

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 01:10 PM PDT

I can't open Word nor PowerPoint and any other Office apps! 

I have important work on Word that I need due next week!

I've tried to open Word today and it just told me that it needs to be repaired.... So I went to the Control Panel, Programs & Features I looked for Microsoft Office I clicked on Change and first chose Quick Repair and I got this message:

"We had a problem

"Connect to the Internet to get more help

Error code: 30089-13"

So I clicked Change again and tried the Repair Online option and it told me the usual "Are you ready to repair? this might take a while"  so I pressed Repair and i waited exactly 16 seconds and I got this message:

It requires a connection to the Internet 
Repairs Online require an Internet connection and seems it is not connected. 
Try Quick Repair without connection or try again with the repair online when you have internet connection. 

"If you think you have internet connection, you can get more help online." 

"Connect to the Internet to get more help." 
Error Code: 0-9

So i ask, What is going on and can you help me get through this?

And yes this is the first time this has happened to me

I would love if you could answer as quick as possible!

Cannot Convert doc to pdf

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 11:42 AM PDT

"the export failed due to an unexpected error"

I got this a couple years ago on Word 2007 when trying to convert a docx. to a .pdf, then it got fixed somehow, then came back. I just upgraded to Word 2013, but I get the same message. I tried the Microsoft FixIt, but it didn't work. I want to be able to read my documents on my Kobo, which only accepts pdfs. Suggestions?

Error message on opening Word one day after purchase and working in it.

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 10:46 AM PDT

Why was this brand new purchase of software for Word and Excel working 3/14/2014 and not working today 03/15/2014?  I am technically challenged and have to hire help when these problems occur.  I am living on a fixed income.  I liked XP and was told that windows 7 worked like XP.  I never had so many problems!  I just like to work with document of word and excel, download pictures from my camera and e-mail my friends.  This is terribly frustrating!  HELP.!

Inserted font switches from the default Calibri to Times New Roman

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 09:21 AM PDT

This is driving me nuts. The default font style is Calibri. Word 2013 (subscription 365) keeps changing what type of font I'm typing in. One minute it is the default Calibri, 11pt next it's Times New Roman 12pt. I've checked the default font and options--nothing strange there. It happens in multiple documents and also occurs if I copy and paste from another document that has Calibri font it gets pastes as Times New Roman. Somehow, it's seeing that as a default and I can't get it out of the system. I'm wasting hours correcting font so it's not all over the place. Furthermore, if I simply tell it to apply the "normal body tyle" (Calibri) to the text, it doesn't change it from Times New Roman to Calibri as it should.

Please help!!!

Office configures repeatedly

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 09:14 AM PDT

Having upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, I am still using my old Office 2007 software. When I open Word 2007 from the desktop shortcut, it always opens the configuration process despite having been through the process initially and have repeated it many times. How can I get directly into Word  like I use to? It does not go through the configuration process for other Office software - just Word.

Paste - Merge Formatting Options

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 07:10 AM PDT

I am copying dictionary definitions from a program into Word 2010. These entries have bold, italics, and underlines that I want to keep, however they also have different font faces and colors that I want to discard.

  • When I paste using "Keep Text Only" I lose the bold, italics, and underlines I need to keep, but the font face correctly matches the one the selected in Normal style.
  • When I past using "Merge Format" I keep the bold, italics, and underlines I want, but the font face is not changed to the one the selected in Normal style.

How can I set the merge formatting to remove all different font faces, but still keep he bold, italics, and underlines? Is there a registry entry somewhere I can edit?

Formatting Restrictions Options

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 12:07 AM PDT

I am taking a class on Word, but my teacher doesn't know anything about creating a form or a template, nor, does she know what you should or should not check when looking at the Formatting Restriction styles that are or are not allowed.

I have been trying to find some kind of list that will explain what each option will restrict (Body Text, Body Text 2, Body Text 3, etc.). Can someone direct me? I want to allow formatting of the body of a document however they need to, within reason. I don't want font changed, but if they need to insert a table, graphics, SmartArt, etc., how can I allow this while locking the other fields of a Block style business letter? Is there a document that explains it, or a video I can watch, or an explanation that is easy to understand? I appreciate any guidance.

My Office suite has just ceased operating Error code 30089-13

Posted: 14 Mar 2014 08:20 AM PDT

Original titile: 30089-13

I am operating Windows 8.1 and have been for some weeks (months?). My Office suite has just ceased operating. Error code 30089-13. Have attempted both quick and Long repair facilities via Control Panel with no result. System asserts Internet connection not operating (not True)

Have tried deleting Office suite and re-installing. That fails to work either.

Why is this happening and what is the fix please?
