Language proofing changes as I type (involuntarily!)

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 02:57 PM PDT

I keep having this problem. As I am typing in Word 2007, all of a sudden many of my normal English words will be underlined in red because the computer has deemed them as not words. And these are very normal words like "machine" and "river".

My computer (running on Windows 8) is set to English as my default language, so it is not that.

When I go into the Proofing section of Word, it appears that it thinks I am Spanish or French all of a sudden. But the setting is still English. I am getting so frustrated by this.

Any help?

Why does it do this?

Many thanks!

Hidden Text Pages and Page Numbering

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 01:51 PM PDT

I am creating a document with hidden text (and hidden page breaks) on the even numbered pages and regular text (and regular page breaks) on the odd numbered pages.  I will be printing two versions of this document - one with all hidden text (all pages) and another without the hidden text (essentially only the odd number pages).

I want the even number pages (regular text pages) to be sequentially numbered in both versions.  In other words, whether or not I print with or without hidden text, I want the even number pages to be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... 

I have been playing with various formula combinations within a field in the footer.  I currently have the following formula, which works great in the "with hidden text pages" version.  It numbers the pages 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.  I'm ok with this because ultimately, my even numbered pages are still numbered sequentially as I want.  I'm not as worried about what appears in the footer of the odd number pages with the hidden text.

{ = { page }-1(({ page }-1)/2) }

However, when I remove the hidden text pages, all of my pages continue to be numbered 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc.  when I want them to just be sequentially numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 

I've played around with using hidden text in the latter half of the formula, assuming when I remove hidden text from the document that portion of the formula would also be removed and I'd be left with just a straight page number.  Unless I'm missing something or doing something wrong, that doesn't seem to be working either. 

So... I'm hoping someone can help me figure out this scenario.

"You Don't Have Permissions to Connect" Error with SharePoint

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 12:06 PM PDT

Hi,

I'm attempting to use Office for iPad, activated for editing with a Office365 Personal subscription, to access in on-premises SharePoint 2010 site.

I've tried entering the addresses of the main site, sub-site, and the document library into the "Add a Place" dialog but I keep getting an error message which simply, and un-informatively, states "You Don't Have Permissions to Connect".

I happen to be an admin of this particular sub-site, so I do have permissions to it. I'm also able to access the site just fine using Safari on the same iPad. The message appears both on our internal WLAN at the office and when connected via the public internet. I get the same message in all 4 Office for iPad apps.

I've asked our resident SharePoint guru in the office (who also happens to be a SharePoint MVP) if he knows of anything which could cause this, but so far he's not been able to find any reason why I shouldn't be able to access the sub-site and document library from Office for iPad.

We've also both googled extensively for any information which could helps us diagnose this issue, over the last week have failed to find anything useful.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening please?

Is there some config change or update needed on the SharePoint 2010 server for Office for iPad support perhaps?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give,Chris

Office 2010: Does the end user need to have both Word and Excel to fill out the Word form?

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 11:31 AM PDT

I created a Word 2010 form. I inserted an Excel worksheet in two different parts of the form due to wanting to be able to add columns. (I'm not familiar with macros enough to do a macro for this.) I am being asked if the end user needs to have both Word and Excel in order to fill out my Word form. My guess would be yes, but I want to make sure. I don't know anyone who does not have either to test this out on. Thank you

Searching Documents for instances of words from a list.

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 11:19 AM PDT

I am having difficulty trying to ensure that documents, which are reused over and over again for different customers do not, contain references to older customers in past iterations of the document. What I am trying to do is search a word document for words contained in a list. I have a list of all customers and I want to search a document for instances of those customers without searching one by one. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks!

Word Spell Check makes mistake during correction

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 10:03 AM PDT

I have just come across this while Copy Editing a document.

Here is a portion of the original with highlighting by Word shown in bold

on his bike. I will definitely have to keep in better touch with him, we always had such a good time. Good to know he's still out there somewhere, occassionally thinking about his old buddy Derrick.

This is the correction Word made, shown in bold.

on his bike. I will definitely have to keep in better touch with him, we always had such a good time. Good to know he's still out there somewhere,occassionallyy thinking about his old buddy Derrick.

Similar errors have occurred in previous versions of Word. It is relatively easy to get around, by undoing, and then resuming the spell check as Word usually gets it right on the second attempt.

How to I get Word 2013 to detect Mr. and Mrs. etc?

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:52 AM PDT

It used to be the case that Word would detect the salutations of Mr, Mrs (etc) which had a period on UK English documents.

This no longer happens.

Is there a switch that needs setting or something?

For those unfamiliar with this, in UK English, the use of the period after an abbreviated salutation is deprecated. So in UK English, we refer to (eg) Prof Brown, Mrs Bassington, Dr McCoy, etc.

I have checked that there is nothing in CUSTOM.DIC that could cause this, at least as far as I can see. Is there anything else I should do?

Unable to open Word documents

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:46 AM PDT

It's been a couple of days since I started to have this problem. I've just uninstalled and installed Office again and it didn't work. I can open files stored in my computer or any other source, but not the files that I have stored in OneDrive. It only happens with Word. It started to happen after the lights went out in my house. Probably there was some damage. But it's funny that it only happens with word and with files stored in OneDrive. Don't know what to do.

Deleting a paragraph of text with VBA

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:46 AM PDT

I'm looking for some help with VBA code to delete a line of text (which is also a paragraph.

I have a text document which I transalated into another language, putting the translation line immediately beneath the English. Thus, there is basically a line of English followed by a line of Spanish, followed by a line of English and so on. At the end of each line there is a carriage return.

So that the document can be understood more easily, the Spanish lines are in Blue.

So far, This is what I have come up with, but it is not doing the job

Sub RemoveBlueText()
' Find all text in blue and delete
Dim curCharIndex As Integer
Dim charCount As Integer
curCharIndex = 1
charCount = ActiveDocument.Characters.Count

While curCharIndex <= charCount
    ActiveDocument.Characters(curCharIndex).Select
    If Selection.Font.Color = Blue Then
        Selection.Delete
        charCount = charCount - 1
    Else
        'Skip it
       curCharIndex = curCharIndex + 1
    End If
Wend

End Sub

While doing a Find & Replace, Word 2013 does not always highlight the found word

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:23 AM PDT

While doing a Find & Replace, Word 2013 does not always highlight the found word 

Find & Replace usually highlights (with a grey background) a word, portion of a word, sentence or paragraph that has been 'found', so that the user can then decide whether to Replace or not.

Quite often however, Word stops at a page, indicating something has been found, but does not highlight the word (etc).

As soon as the mouse is clicked in the document, Word does display the highlighting. I have tested this making sure the Find & Replace dialogue box is not overlapping the document.

This almost always occurs when the word (etc) to be highlighted is in the top line displayed in the window. Note that this is not consistent and that sometimes a word in error in the top line will be highlighted correctly.

This screenshot on OneDrive illustrates

This is a regular occurrence, but I can't detect a pattern or reason.

Producing labels in Office 2007 on Windows 8.1

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:40 AM PDT

I bought a new HP laptop with 8.1 installed. I successfully installed my copy of Office 2007. When I try to produce mailing labels in Word using an Excel workbook as a source of data, only a few show up at the top of the label page and one line at the bottom of the label page. It's my understanding that this is a known problem and the only solution is to buy Office 2010 or above. 

Has anyone else had this experience or does anyone have a suggestion.

Thank you.

New caption label for Appendices does not increment the number of figure

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:36 AM PDT

I followed the instructions in Shauna Kelley's article about how to create a new figure label for Appendices.  I had success with one large document that I created, importing figures in the appendices as I went and creating the caption for each.  I am using a template provided by my organization, with Heading 5 defined for Appendix headings.

I am now writing another large document, with the same template.  This time, I wrote five appendices outside of this template, and now I am copying and pasting the text.  The figures in the pre-written appendices were captioned with the main text figure label, so now I am converting them to the Figure_Apx label that Shauna described.  Here is the problem.  The first figure is labeled "Figure A-1".  The second figure is labeled "Figure A-1".  The third figure is labeled "Figure A-2".  All figures thereafter are incremented correctly, but are one off.

I have looked at the codes (alt + F9) between the two documents and do not see any differences.  I have tried changing the switch in those codes from "\s 5" to "\r 2" for the second figure, but maybe I do not understand that formatting--they seem to set to the desired values, but then change to something else at some point after I move onto setting this switch with other figures.  I tried the switch "\n 5", but it was not recognized. 

I did put section breaks before the first appendix and between each appendix thereafter.

Any ideas what is wrong and what is the solution?

Word 2013 is crashing when attempting to open OneDrive files

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Lately, I've been attempting to open Word documents from my OneDrive account and as it attempts to open the document, Word (2013) itself crashes.

If I download the file from OneDrive and attempt to open it locally, things work just fine.

The machine I'm having issues with is my work computer which is running Windows 7 Pro x64 all the latest updates.

I have been bouncing back and forth between my home computer with this document, which is a Windows 8.1 x64 Update 1. Also running Office 2013. I have not attempted to open the document again from my home computer since this has started happening, however I will attempt this evening to see if I am also getting the problem there.

Word could not create the work file - check the temp environment variable

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:08 AM PDT

Hello

When I try to upload a Word (2007) document to an online site, I get the following:

"Word could not create the work file - check the temp environment variable". I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word, which makes no difference.

I have tried the following as recommended in a KB article:

1. Make sure you are the administrator and all files and folders are not hidden.

2. Open Internet explorer

3. Click Tools and click on Internet Options

4. On browsing history – Click Settings

5. Click Move Folder

6. Now here is where it counts

7. Click Drive C:

8. Click Users

9. Click Your Name if you are the admin. Do not choose admistrator

10. Click AppData (will be in grey font)

11. Click Local

12. Click Microsoft

13. Click Internet

14. Click Temporary Internet Files

15. Now save all documents and things

16. Click Ok to everything and your system will logoff (Don't worry that is normal)

17. Now log back in and check your office.

It makes no difference.

As recommended elsewhere, I have changed the Registry from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Temporary Internet Files

to

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Still the problem persists.

Using sfc /scannow, I have scanned all my Windows files and get: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations, and I have undertaken three anti-virus scans (Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and TFC) - they found nothing.

What else can I try, please?

Thanks.

MS WORD PAGE NUMBER ISSUES

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:01 AM PDT

I am having issues with inserting page numbers. I am constructing a document using a pre-existing template. Whenever I insert the page numbers, they don't line up with the actual pages. For example, pages 1-3 are fine but then it skips a page, saying that page 4 is really page 5. Then later in the document, the page numbers restart in the middle of the document. For example, page 19 of 28 turns into page 1 of 28 again. Then when I try to edit each individual page number, it changes all the page numbers. This is so annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excel into Word or Word into Excel

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:01 AM PDT

I work for a small accounting firm and our financial statements are in 2 separate documents.  One is the Word footnotes and one is Excel financial statements.  This causes a whole host of problems, including an unprofessional finished product.  I would like to combine the files into one.  I think starting with Word is the way to go, but I'm not entirely sure.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Show Formatting Mark for Keep with Next

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 09:16 PM PDT

In Word 2010, I generally have all my paragraphs set as "keep lines together", because I don't like paragraphs breaking over pages.

As a result of this when I am displaying formatting marks I have bullets to the left of all my paragraphs.

For certain paragraphs I like to set them to be "keep with next".

However there is no way that I can see (via formatting marks) which ones these are.

Can anyone suggest how I can display (when editing) which paras are "keep with next"?

Many thanks

Home and End keys not working

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 06:58 PM PDT

I have a Gateway NV76R series laptop. The Page up and Page down keys work as they should; the Home and End do not. These keys are used in conjunction with the Fn key. Fn + End moves the cursor to the next line instead of the end of document. Fn + Home move the cursor up one line instead of the beginning of document. Home, Page down, Page up, and Home work as they should with Office Outlook 2007 email, internet web pages, and Adobe Acrobat documents but not Word or Notepad documents. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Headers and Footers - unlinking after section break

Please, what am I doing wrong?

WordMacroToPage48

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 05:40 PM PDT

I have a question involving a long document. I have control buttons on the first page. When I click each button I will be  sent

to a different page in the document.

My question is that one particular control button sends me to page 8, not my intended page 48,  after I open the document and click the button.

I have the following macro attached to this button

----------------------------------------------------

Private Sub CommandButton14_Click()

pageToSee = 48

     Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=pageToSee

End Sub

To temporaily fix the problem, I review code for the button and the above routine is shown, I save the document without closing and

now the button goes to page 48 as I intended.

But after I close the document and reopen, the button once pressed sends me back to page 8 and not 48.

Any help would be appreciated.
