Bug in MS Word Equations

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 09:49 AM PDT

I'd like to just report this bug to MS, but I don't see any mechanism to do so.

This happens in both Office 2010 and 2013.   I'm using XITS Math as my default math font.  (it has much better coverage of characters I use compared with Cambria Math, and more recognizable shapes for characters like \scriptE and \scriptF).

If I start a new equation with alt+= and type 'exp space', it recognizes an exponential function and creates an insertion box, all in XITS Math font. Now if I move the cursor to the right of the insertion box, the font there is set to Cambria Math.  This leads to me inadvertently having a jumbled mess of Cambria Math and XITS Math in my equations.

detect word repitition for style

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 08:49 AM PDT

I'm a writer and it would come handy to have a style analysis in regards to word repetitions. For instance:  "He had success in.... But his success..." For a writer it may be interesting to see whether there is a word repeated in a certain range, e.g. in 30 words or fifty. Is there any possibility know to perform a style analysis? One may have to write a macro, but would one write it?


Thanks!

removing author creditionals in comments and track changes

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 08:45 AM PDT

I'm desperately trying to get rid of my author name and initials in Word 365. I am a judge in a writing contest and am asked to stay anonymous.

I tried: removing my name in track changes -> tracking -> change user name.

File -> Check for issues -> Remove

Nothing helps. My clear name always appears and if I managed to get rid of it, it magically reappears.

What am I doing wrongly?

Thanks!

menu bar

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 08:05 AM PDT

How do I get the Microsoft word 2007 menu back??  Most people (myself included) don't know that you can turn the menu bar off but I can't think of any reason to turn the menu bar off. 

 

 Above the page, at the top of the MS Word screen, you will see the Menu bar. The Menu bar lists File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, Window, Help.

 

Before asking this question, I goggled it but couldn't find any help.

All the pictures I put into Microsoft word are turning fuzzy. How can I fix them?

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 06:08 AM PDT

I'm trying to put JPEG files on an Avery label template (2x4, #18163), but every time I try to add them in, they seem to decrease in quality, causing a fuzzy print-out. They were pics I created in Adobe Illustrator and saved as JPEGs.

Copying and pasting pictures with text boxes

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 05:57 AM PDT

Hi team,

In a recent project, I needed to copy and paste dozens of screen shots from a source document to a new document. Each screen shot had six or seven text boxes used for callouts. I copied the screen shot, and then had to go back and click each text box with the Ctrl key down (another major Word 2010 annoyance MS won't fix). The original screen shots were done in Word 2007, so the writer didn't need to use the annoying canvas. He could lasso the whole thing and move it to his heart's content, something we lost in Word 2010!!

My question is, when you paste the text boxes into the new document, they seem to park themselves where they were in the source document from and (x,y) axis point of view--which makes perfect sense. Trouble is, if the screen shot in the new document is "elsewhere," you must move the text boxes before they lose the focus as a group. Otherwise, you need to grab each one. Is there a way to tell Word exactly where you want to paste the text boxes in the new document? I tried clicking inside the new screen shot, but that makes no difference.

For further information, I set the new screen shot to be pasted as Top and Bottom, but that didn't work either as per an earlier post. They all came across as In Line With Text, which goes against my Options setting--another Word 2010 bug. Many thanks.

Equation function not working, repair function giving error code 30029-4

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 05:42 AM PDT

When I try to enter an equation in word or excel the program will become stuck and cease to work. The programs are now also often getting stuck even when I am simply starting them up.

I tried to fix this using online repair, but then it gives error code 30029-4.

Unwanted black lines across my document

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 05:39 AM PDT

I have been working on a fairly long technical geography/geology document for the last two weeks. Yesterday I had reverse a section so that it would read east to west rather than west to east and doing that involved a lot of cutting and pasting. Half way through the cut and paste ordeal black lines started appearing. There are now five of them. They run all the way across the page between paragraphs, generally at the bottom of a pasted in (inserted) paragraph. They should not be there, I do not know what I am doing that is causing them and I can not get rid of them. Any ideas?

I thought that they might just be proof marks but they are really there, they print; five black hair lines ruining my document. Starting over and re-typing will take a week. There has to be a way to delete those lines? Also what did I do to cause them?

 

Autocorrect problem

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 04:47 AM PDT

Hi.   

Entering a few asterisks in a line then clicking on the return button resulted in conversion of same into a full width straight line across the page.   That's handy.  But then how to get rid of it ?  I seem to be stuck with those lines which can't be deleted in the normal way.   So I went to 'File / options / proofing / autocorrect / autoformat as you type" and unticked all the boxes in sight.  After that, I could delete some of the lines but not all of them.  One in particular is a line of little squares which is immune to my attentions with the 'delete' button etc.   How to get rid of it ? It's usually me at fault but this one really does seem like an electrical glitsch in the system.   The automatic conversion of asterisks into a straight line as described might be handy in future but I will want to know that I won't be stuck with them if and when I do create such divisions across the page.   It's all rather tedious.   Thanks.

OFFICE Home and Student 2013: "A problem caused ... "

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 04:28 AM PDT

I have just installed Office Home and Student 2013 to my new PC. On trying to open an existing document, copied from my old PC I get, even before I see the document, "A problem caused the programme to stop working correctly", followed by a promise to find out the cause of the problem and put it right. In fact nothing happens in this regard. I have uninstalled and installed the software and the same thing happens.

I would be grateful for your assistance. Thank you.

Table of Contents - adding extra headings

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 03:54 AM PDT

There is a Table of Contents already set up in a document I am editing. I have added in an extra chapter to the main text and the page numbers updated when i clicked on 'update table' but i need the name of the chapter to feature in the TOC as well. 

I think it's something to do with formatting the header of the Chapter and then perhaps typing it manually into the TOC but I am unsure and instructions online I'm not finding too clear...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Use wildcard to find text

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 03:19 AM PDT

I received a very long word document created by another one. However, the creator did not use automatic numbering and bullet, but use manual insert. I need to view document in outline view, so I need to select header items and  add corresponding level to them. I try to use the wildcard finding to select each group depending on the manual numbering and bullet. However, the result does not show as I expected. 

For example, the structure of document is as follows:

1. Text

1.1 Text

1.1.1 Text

1.1.2 Text

1.2 Text

1.2.1 Text

1.2.2 Text

1.2.3 Text

2. Text

2.1 Text

2.1.1 Text

2.1.2 Text

2.1.3 Text

2.2 Text

2.2.1 Text

2.2.2 Text

2.2.3 Text

 

……..

100. Text

100.1 Text

100.1.1 Text

100.1.2 Text

100.1.3 Text

100.2 Text

100.2.1 Text

100.2.2 Text

100.2.3 Text

So I need to attach level 1, level 2 and level 3 to the corresponding text as it look. I know that we can use wildcard finding to search and select desired text, but I am not familiar with it

Please show me how to do that 

Thank you

Word 2010 VBA changing font style and size in macro

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 03:05 AM PDT

Problem with styles and macros.

I created a new multilevel list to use with different styles i.e. I have modified the built-in styles Heading1 to Heading5 to link to this new multi-level list which is called AgtNumbering etc. These Heading1 to Heading5 styles will be used in an agreement where there is a heading to a clause. I then have AgtBody1 up to AgtBody5 which will be used for the bodies of paragraphs. Heading1 to Heading5 will be pulled into a table of contents where the bodies won't be pulled in.

Be that as it may, I cannot change the font of Heading1 style as I am linking my AgtBody1 to Heading1 Style but not marked to be included for table of contents. Apart from that the styles are the same and the numbering must following example.

1     HEADING 1 (using Heading1 Style) (included in TOC)

       1.1     Body level 2 (using AgtBody2 Style)

       1.2     Body level 2 (using AgtBody2 Style)

                 1.2.1     Body level 3 (using AgtBody3 Style)

       2.1     HEADING CLAUSE 2.1 (using Heading2 Style) (included in TOC)

                  2.1.1     Heading level 3 (using Heading3 Style) (included in TOC)

                               2.1.1.1     Body level 4 (using AgtBody4 Style)

So basically sometimes we have a level 2 which has a heading which  must be included in the TOC and sometimes we have a level 2 para with no heading which must therefore not be included in the TOC therefore my thought process and reasoning above. (fonts etc. differ whether it is body or a heading and we would like to automate this).

I then thought it best to create a macro to make provision for the different fonts and bolds and italics and my macros are as follows:

Sub Agt1H()

' Heading 1 Style Macro

'

    Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading1")

    Selection.Font.Bold = True

    Selection.Font.Italic = True

End Sub

 

Sub Agt2H()

' Heading 2 Style Macro

    Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading2")

    Selection.Font.Name = "Arial Black"

End Sub

 

Sub Agt3H()

' Heading 3 Style Macro'

    Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading3")

    Selection.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"

    Selection.Font.Bold = True

    Selection.Font.Italic = True

End Sub

It works well in that it applies the correct styles to the paragraph numbering etc. However when I use Agt2H or Agt3H it applies the correct style, changes the font, bold and italics on. Once I have typed the words of the HEADING and press ENTER it changes the look of my paragraph numbering so my number 2.1 is suppose to stay in arial font however when I press enter the actual number of the clause 1.1 changes to Arial Black.

I have removed in options auto format as you type all the lists etc but still the same problem.

I have never encountered this before. Any comments / suggestions. Please help.

Defective Grammar Settings dialog in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 02:59 AM PDT

This article leads me to believe that there are many (wonderful) ways to configure Grammar Settings: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/select-grammar-and-writing-style-options-HP010354284.aspx

It does however not appear when I click the Settings button under Word Options, Proofing. Instead I see this:

Much of the text here is in danish, and I am indeed located in denmark. But I am running an english version of Office 2013 on an english version of Windows 7 and I was writing an english document and was getting Grammar suggestions for the english lannguage (which I want to adjust). There are no other options than "Grammatik" in the drop down.

Please help me adjust the english options in my english software and please do not make me travel to the United States or change my citizenship to do so.

Clip art images not displayed

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 12:19 AM PDT

In Word, if I perform the following sequence of selections: Blank document>Insert>Online Pictures>Office.com Clip Art>dogs, I am informed that 1000 images (of dogs) have been found and the first few are displayed. If my wife performs the same operation on the same machine she gets the same result except that the images displayed are all blank. If she performs the operation a different machine the images are displayed normally. Can anyone explain this behaviour?

Word 2013 (Office 365) hangs every now and then...

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 10:39 PM PDT

Hi, 

I'm office 365 user, using Office 2013 mainly offline.

I've found one issue with Word 2013 which is starting to drive me crazy since it leading to loss of the data every now and again. It is simply hanging when I typing the text, without any reason, and then - the only way to close it is to kill from the task manager. I've tried waiting for about few minutes to give it a time to recover - no luck. 

It only happens when I'm typing the text, and it always appears the the last word is being typed with every letter repeated 2-3 times,so I might be typing "hello", it would be entered as "hheelllloo" or even "hhheeellllllooo", and then - it stops. 

Initially I though that there is something wrong with my laptop hardware, it was AMD-based Lenovo Ideapad P585 with 8 GB of RAM running Windows 8.1 64bit .  But now it happened on another laptop that I've just bought - Lenovo ThinkPad x220, running a freshly installed Windows 7 64bit . Same problem, same outcome - last 10 minutes changes completely lost. 

On both of these systems I have Kaspersky Internet Security Installed, Win8 system has KIS 2013, new Win7 laptop has KIS 2014, it might affect functionality of other applications. And as well - I have Visual Studio 2013 Pro, that could theoretically interfere with other apps since it enables various debugging hooks in the system. 

For now I'm considering trying to use alternative office packages since Word 2013 - is no use at all! Instead of being productive I'm solving problems with the office software. 

Thanks, 

Sergey

Remapping Keyboard Shortcuts

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 06:32 PM PDT

I am using Word 2010 in Windows 7.  My recollection is that when using earlier versions of Word, the key combination Alt+Tab was used for moving back and forth among applications.  Now I find that that key combination moves among windows, both files and applications.  It now occurs to me that this might actually be a Windows issue.  In any case, since I have Ctrl+F6 and Ctrl+Shft+F6 to move among files, I want to edit Alt+Tab so that it moves among applications only.   Does anybody know the solution to this problem?  Thank you.

Office corrupted and will not uninstall or repair

Arrggghhhh!!!!

I tried everything I could find to uninstall Office 2010 on Windows 7. Programs and Features failed, the FixIts failed, the manual uninstall failed, adn, out of stupidity I even tried deleting it away.

Of course that failed too!

I have two recovery disks with both original codes and a new code that failed many times at various points on this road to doom.

What now?  I cant see anything!

I cant get rid of it, repair it, or replace it.

Arrgghhh!!!

MS Word 2013 user manual.

Posted: 13 Apr 2014 04:32 PM PDT

What is a good user manual for MS Word 2013? I don't want a tutorial, and I don't want a quick guide. I am a writer and I simply want to look in an index to discover how to do this or that and then to work out how to do it. I can't tell enough from descriptions of books I see online to tell if they are any good.
