Microsoft Word - Bullets and numbered lists question

Microsoft Word - Bullets and numbered lists question

Bullets and numbered lists question

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 02:57 PM PDT

I refer again to the advice given by Shauna Kelly re numbered lists and also bullets.

I've tried it all out and it all works well, as you would expect from her excellent articles.

Am I right in thinking that the best bet would be just to set up a template with the various list styles one uses most often set up and ready to go? That way one just starts a new document and the styles are all there? Sorry if that seems an obvious question. I just wondered if there is any disadvantage to doing it this way? It would obviously take quite a while to set up all those different levels if one was to do it every time one started a new document!?

Styles and Multi Level Lists in Word 2013

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 02:03 PM PDT

I have Office 13 (Windows 7 OS) and am in Formatting ****. I've noticed many articles that explain Styles and formatting for earlier versions of Office, i.e. "How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document" on the following website: http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html but find most of the content is for 2007 with some for 2010. Do the same rules/techniques apply for 2013 or will I be even more confused if I try to figure out my issues using info for 2007 or 2010? My biggest issues are the indents, tabs and spacing. If I create a new multi level list and set indents for .5 for the heading with .5 for hanging text, I end up with my paragraphs all over the place. Is there any information that provides an explanation of each drop down box for setting up a new multilevel list? I frequently use Styles to establish formats I use regularly, but this version of Word is making me crazy. My styles seem to change at will midway through a 100 page document. I could write pages giving examples of just how diabolical this function is! How is it possible that Microsoft has made such incredible leaps in technology, but can't provide an easy way to set levels? They need to work with those of us slugging it out everyday behind a computer to see how frustrating this function is. Help!

Microsoft Word not saving changes?

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 02:01 PM PDT

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows 7 Enterprise computer.  I do have limited administrator access on the computer.

While working on a document, I manually saved with Ctrl + S regularly (every ten minutes or so).  I did have several other large files open, required to complete work on this document.

Word then crashed, and I had to kill it with the Task Manager, expecting that the work I had saved every 10 minutes would be there.  It was not.  All changes I had made to the document have been lost.

I have tried to recover the unsaved files from the "versions" menu, but it is not listed.  I am unable to find the document in other folders, and a Windows search has only turned up the original document, with no content saved.  Is there a way for me to recover the document, or am I just stuck redoing three hours of work?  I would guess the latter, but if there is a way to recover my file, I would prefer that.

Size of synonym box, etc. in 2007 Word in Windows 8.1

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 01:56 PM PDT

The 2007 Word works perfectly in Windows 8.1, on my Dell pc, but the sizes of the synonym box, print box, find box, etc. seem too small relatively to how they appeared with Windows XL. Can I enlarge these in Windows 8.1?

Long Word 2007 error message.

Why do I get this on Word start up?: "The function you are attempting to run contains macros of content that requires macro language support.  When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) choose not to install support for macros or controls."

Word (2003) documents when attempting to open are not visible on my pc desktop screen

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT

When I attempt to launch Word you get a very quick flash of the Word document icon on the desktop before it disappears at the speed of light totally off to the left of the screen never to be seen again. Frustrating part is you can see on the bottom toolbar that a Word document has been indeed been opened. Thought this was connected to a Windows update download as had the same problem a month ago and then Word started to work again following further Microsoft updates but following another Windows update last week Word has gone absent once again - very frustrating - any ideas would be very welcome - many thanks

Is it possible to add a bulleted list into an existing line of text?

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 09:55 AM PDT

Ok so I'm working on a resume and trying to add a bullet list to the word file. I have everything I want exactly the way I want it except for this one part. I need the bulleted section under skills to line up with the word skills. I don't want to use a table but everytime I try to change it, it either deletes the first bullet point or adds a bullet to the word skills... any solutions or work arounds?

No longer able to ink in Word 2013

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 09:32 AM PDT

I have an HP Elite Book Table PC. I was using inking in Word when it suddenly stopped working. The pen is fine and works in Windows Journal and works fine as a mouse pointer. When I am on Word and bring the pen close to the screen, it brings up the inking options, but they are all grayed out. It has been like this now for several days. What can I do to be able to ink in Word again?

Microsoft Word Stops responding when finishing up mail merge

I have Windows 7, I just downloaded Microsoft Office 365 2013.  Whenever I try to create mailing labels by doing a mail merge with an excel document, Microsoft Word quits responding.  It works fine until I press "Finish Merge" and choose individual edit.  What could be the problem and how do I fix it?

Thanks for any and all feedback.  

Excel 2010 spreadsheet embedded in Word 2010 document is an empty box

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 08:23 AM PDT

Hello.

I cannot see the contents of any Excel 2010 spreadsheets embedded in Word 2010. The version is 14.0.7121.5004, SP2 MSO (14.0.7116.5000). 

I can create a new Word document in .docx format, insert a new blank Excel spreadsheet and all that's displayed is the outline of the embedded object. I can double-click it and the cells become visible and I can edit the spreadsheet. I've tried disabling all Add-ins but the behavior persists. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Restrict Editing of Pasted Items.

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 08:17 AM PDT

I have 2 documents that I am using. The first is a document that has restricted editing to filling in form fields. The second document is a PDF or Word file with a list of questions on it.

I would like to be able to copy questions from the second document and paste them into the form document and restrict the ability to edit the question being pasted.

Both documents are protected so that you can edit them, but once you past into the form field you can edit what is pasted there... I need to restrict the ability of people to edit the data being pasted from the other source document (pdf with questions).

Any help is appreciated.

Can't save Office file via network shortcut

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 06:53 AM PDT

Hello, first time poster here... wondering if someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having.

I have a number of W7 machines in my company and they should be fairly standard.  We have just introduced a SharePoint 2013 site and I have created a number of .url Network Shortcuts (e.g. C:\Users\first.last\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\TeamArea.url) in place of the mapped network drives that were used previously. 

These links work when clicking to open and for most people they seem to working for saving to, however, for an unfortunate few (and for me) attempting to save to these locations tries saving the documents with the shortcut name (e.g. TeamArea.url.doc).

I've tried to compare machines and I can't see what's different.  The documents appear to save ok using Office 2013, but there are these machines which Office 2010 doesn't work as hoped with.

Has anyone experienced anything similar to this or know what the cause might be?

Many thanks in advance

Security Warning About Add-ins

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 04:38 PM PDT

Every time I open a Word 2010 document I get a Security Warning message:  "Some active content has been disabled.  Click for more details."  It also gives me an "Enable Content" button even though it doesn't tell me what that content is that it's suggesting I enable.  This happens even if I'm creating a new document.  If i click on the "Some active content..." link, it takes me to the Document Info screen with another "Enable Content" button, but this time it tells me "the following content has been disabled:  Add-ins."  Of course, it doesn't tell me which add-ins.  So, I go to Options | Add-Ins and see that I have no active Add-ins of any kind and 6 Inactive Application Add-ins:

ActionsPane Schema for Add-Ins (no publisher)

Custom XML Data (Microsoft)

Headers, Footers, and Watermarks (Microsoft)

Hidden Text (Microsoft)

Invisible Content (Microsoft)

Microsoft Actions Pane 3 (no publisher)

I'm assuming these are Inactive since I don't push the "Enable Content" button.  Since that "Enable Content" button doesn't tell me exactly which content I'm enabling, I doubt I'll ever do so.  The problem is that I can't get rid of those Add-ins and, thus, stop the warning message.  Selecting and right-clicking on the Add-in names gives me no options.  Going down to the Manage drop-down at the bottom of the page and running through the selections there gives me nothing to actually delete the Add-ins.  Going to the Locations specified for the Add-ins and renaming the file (at least for the 4 Microsoft Add-ins contained in OFFRHD.DLL) changes nothing.

Assuming these Add-ins are not essential to the running of Word (or Office) 2010 (though how they could be since I don't activate them), how do I delete them?  Is there something else I should try to stop that "Security Warning" (besides just turning the option off)?
