Apps for Office 2013 do not work

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 02:50 PM PDT

I have Office 2013 for Home and Student installed on my home computer and have several apps for Office 2013 installed, but none seem to work. The Office 2013 programs all run correctly, but when I try to use one of the plugins I see a pane open for the plugin and a "loading..." indicator, and I can find a dialog box using Alt-tab from IE asking if I "want to allow the website to open an app on your computer," but if I click "allow," another window opens saying, "No apps are installed to open this type of link (osf)," and then the app's pane in the Office 2013 program throws up an "APP ERROR."

I have uploaded the a video of the sequence here:

Office 2013 App Error

All other apps I have installed do exactly the same thing.

What's wrong, and how can this be fixed?

Replace text with a Section Break in Word 2007

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 02:34 PM PDT

Short request:

I want to replace the text ###SECTION BREAK### with an actual Next Page Section Break using VBA.

Longer explanation:

I have a program that creates a text document.  I would like to be able to bring that text document into Word and add section breaks.  So I would need to replace some text with a section break.

So let's say I bring in my text document and I have the text ###SECTION BREAK### in several locations.  I would like to find each occurrence of the ###SECTION BREAK### and replace it with an actual SECTION BREAK.

I tried the search replace with the ^b, but that doesn't work in 2007.  I also started a VBA script, but it does not allow the ^b either.  Here is a sample of the VBA:

Sub RemoveSectionBreaks()
    Dim rg As Range
    Set rg = ActiveDocument.Range
    With rg.Find
        .Text = "^b"
        .Wrap = wdFindStop
        While .Execute
            rg.Delete
        Wend
    End With
End Sub

So, I then went on to find wdSectionBreakNextPage but I am not quite sure how to use it.

Thanks in advance

How to set "My Computer" as default location when clicking on OPEN in Microsoft Word 2010, OS Windows 7 32-bits

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:44 PM PDT

Good afternoon MS Community,

How can I set "My Computer" as the default location when clicking on OPEN or SAVE in Microsoft Word 2010 or any other MS Application (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)?

My OS is Windows 7 32-bits, Enterprise Edition. 

I've tried to change the location inside DOCUMENTS LIBRARY, but when I select MY COMPUTER an error message pops up stating: "Computer can't be included in the library. Please select a different folder."

Thank you and have a great weekend.

Sincerely,

PE

Can't open a word 2007 document from Windows Explorer

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:31 PM PDT

I had a trial version of windows 2010, which has now expired.

since my last Microsoft updates, when I try to open a Word document from Windows Explorer it opens in Word 2010, which of course I can't use, as I can't edit, etc, from it. N

Also, the documents now have a DOC ending, which they didn't have before.

What's gone wrong?

After printing, Word does not go back to the same page

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 11:58 AM PDT

UPDATE: Solved...turns out, when she was scrolling, she was not clicking on the page she wanted to print. Therefore, the insertion point was still at the top of her document - so, it makes sense that Word brought her back to the page where her insertion point was placed.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a user with an unusual problem...

When she opens a document, scrolls to a specific page, then prints just that page (by using the "Print Current Page" setting), when Word returns to the Document, it jumps her back up to the first page - it does not remain on the page she just printed.

However, if she uses the "Go To" dialog box to jump to a specific page, then prints just that page, when Word returns to the document, she is brought back to the page she just printed.

She is working on a very large document, and there is a reason she is printing only specific pages, so to continually be brought back to her first page is very inefficient. Using the Go To dialog box just to work around this annoyance should not be the solution.

Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Tammy

Linking An Excel Quote to Specific fields in a Word Document

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 11:13 AM PDT

Hello:

I have an Excel application that creates a quote.  I would like to take specific cells from that quote and put them into a Word Document in pre-defined fields.  I have read the posts on this forum regarding that subject, but none of them cover the exact "How To".  Is there a comprehensive "step by step" article or demonstration that shows me how to create the fields in Word and Link them to Excel?  I'm an Excel Developer, but rarely have to interface with Word.

Thanks,

Rich Locus, Excel Developer

Inserting help text for a form field

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 09:04 AM PDT

Hello there...

I have inherited, and been asked to improve upon, a form created by someone no longer on the job. This form contains a couple of drop-down fields from which users can select the proper value, about 15 or 20 to choose from. The definitions of those values are printed at the bottom of the page. However, when completing the form, there is a free-style text box that can expand if enough text is input, which causes those definitions to roll to a 2nd page. As many of these as we print, we could cut our paper usage on these almost in 1/2 if I could figure out a way to have those code definitions appear as "help text" when a user hovers the mouse over the field.

I found a dialogue box in which I can enter help text, but only the first two or three definitions fit before it runs out of room.

Not a programmer...don't even play one on TV...but am fairly good at figuring things out, especially when pointed in the right direction. I need some plain English language that will help me go that way. :-)

I know there is a drop-down option in the developer ribbon, and pretty sure that's what the former creator used. But I also see drop-down options under the Legacy and ActiveX controls. Is the issue that one of these other types of controls would serve my purpose better?

Thanks for any and all input!!

Is it possible for me to retrieve a previous save of a file on word?

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 08:37 AM PDT

Last night I created a file that I went back to this morning. This morning I returned to work and finished working on my document having saved multiple times. I went away for a break and came back just now and I think I have overwritten my file by changing the document name. Is this recoverable? Any help would be much appreciated.

Auto print a prepared text with different names

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 08:33 AM PDT

Hi

I wanted to know if it's possible to auto fill a prepared text and then auto print it with different names

let me explain you with an example:

I have an Excel file with the name of students and their fathers in it

I want to send each one invitations in their name and their fathers' name

e.g. Dear John Smith son of Robert Smith we want you to take part in our celebration .......

So each time I need to copy and paste their name and their fathers' name to the form

Is there a way so that the word or excel do this for me automatically?

Thanks;

Non-Office-related assistance requested

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 08:04 AM PDT

Considering how helpful you people are, I wonder if you could help me with another issue, not really connected to MS Office.

I am a 27-years old university graduate from Prague, Czech Republic. I worked for two years as a Business Analyst in a pharmaceutical company here in Prague. It was there where I realised I would like to see new places (and fulfill my dream to travel to US) and decided to resign my position to seek job abroad. I spent 9 months sending CVs and responding to job ads to find a qualified job in US, but with no luck. I am now working at Citibank Europe until end of April and then I decided I will just travel to US and try to find unqualified (unfortunately) job there on the spot and maybe move upward from there. But before I go, it might be better to try all possibilities.

So I was wondering, maybe you know about some open positions in your area (maybe assistant in lawyer's office?). Or perhaps you have some tips on this topic, knowing people that were in similar position. Or maybe you know where is the best place to start or on contrary where not to go. I would really, really appreciate any kind of help, because these are the decisions that will decide how the rest of my life will look like. I am young, intelligent, flexible guy with friendly personality and good spirit.

I know this is not the best place for requests like this, but I felt really moved by the amount of support I received here and I like the personal contact.

Thanks a lot. CV to be provided upon request.

Use Destination styles does not apply correct settings when pasting styles attached to a list style

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 05:38 AM PDT

The screenshots below highlight the issue. Both the Heading 1 style and the List Bullet styles are attached to list styles.

After pasting, the paragraph in Body Text picks up the definition in the destination document correctly. The other styles don't.

Is this a known Word bug?

Changing List Level suddenly gives Formatted info box?

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 03:12 AM PDT

Word 2010 document with table.

I'm using numbered lists with different levels.

I created the first few entries, then suddenly, without any warning, when I tried to go up a level, I got this:

If I click on the "Formatted" box I get the option to accept or reject changes. Huh?

How did this suddenly happen, without me doing anything conscious to start it, and how do I turn it off?

Hi all, 

First time posting here. 

I make use of styles to compile my documentation which obviously works awesomely, however, I recently find that when I now press 'enter' to move to a next line it does not carry my previous line's style forward. I never had an issue with this.

I did recently ran a repair on office due to some MS Excel issue I had. 

it's quite frustrating as it takes me slightly longer to edit my document.

Any help will be appreciated.

Microsoft Word Numbere list indenation

Posted: 03 Apr 2014 04:17 PM PDT

Hi all


Sorry in advance if the answer to my question is out there already, but I cannot seem to find the correct search terms to return the answer!


So, my issue is that I have some text like this:


        <?php if(!empty($errormessages)) { ?>

            <div id="errormessages">

            <?php foreach($errormessages as $errmessage) {

                    echo $errmessage . "<br />";

            }                ?>

            </div>

            <?php

        }

    } else {

        echo "<div class='center'>Form submitted successfully. We will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours.</div>";

    } ?>

    </div>

    <?php require('footer.php'); ?>


And I wish for it to be numbered like this:


  1.         <?php if(!empty($errormessages)) { ?>
  2.             <div id="errormessages">
  3.             <?php foreach($errormessages as $errmessage) {
  4.                     echo $errmessage . "<br />";
  5.             }                ?>
  6.             </div>
  7.             <?php
  8.         }
  9.     } else {
  10.         echo "<div class='center'>Form submitted successfully. We will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours.</div>";
  11.     } ?>
  12.     </div>
  13.     <?php require('footer.php');
  14.  ?>

(It's almost ironic how it actually works on here. Maybe that's the solution! :P)


But in Word, when I press the Numbered list button, the indents are formatted as such:



a.    <?php if(!empty($errormessages)) { ?>
        i.    <div id="errormessages">
        ii.    <?php foreach($errormessages as $errmessage) {
        1.    echo $errmessage . "<br />";
        iii.    }                ?>
        iv.    </div>
        v.    <?php
    b.    }
35.    } else {
    a.    echo "<div class='center'>Form submitted successfully. We will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours.</div>";
36.    } ?>
37.    </div>
38.    <?php require('footer.php');
39.    ?>


Is there any way of preserving whitespace so that the numbers are consistent for each row and the code is tabbed from the numbers?

Word 2013 is crashing when I insert a pic

Posted: 03 Apr 2014 03:21 PM PDT

I can't find any answers on the forum that address this problem.

All of a sudden in the middle of the day, Word began crashing every time I try to insert a picture.  I click on insert, then picture, then my filemanager pops up.  but when I click on a folder to find the picture, Word completely freezes.  Everytime.  I can edit inside the document but I can't insert a picture.  this was working this morning and now it freezes every time.

I went to control panel, programs, office, change and clicked on both quick repair and online repair.  Neither one fixed the problem.

Help! This is driving me crazy.
