Highlighting text too dark in MS Word

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 12:05 PM PDT

We would like to offer the following feedback:

1.  The colors in the regular highlighting text in the "font" menu are too dark, and therefore useless, except for the yellow highlight.

2.  We found out to use lighter color highlighting that we can see, we have to do it through the word art menu.  This then creates an issue when using the regular "font" menu highlighting & the word art highlighting tool in that if text is highlighted using both menus (regular menu "font" and WORD ART) within the same document, one cannot delete or work on the highlighting text unless one is in the proper of the two menus.  This creates the necessity of using two command options to achieve the same purpose.

3.  The color customization is available in other contexts within MS Word, why not this one?

Word wrap not working on Word 2013 (Windows 8)

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 12:04 PM PDT

Word wrap is not working on Word, and I can't even get the option to turn it on. The icon under Page Layout (arrange) is greyed out, and I haven't found any way to go in and change it in the settings, nor does changing templates work. Can anyone help?

Downloading Microsoft Office 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 11:18 AM PDT

Hi

I bought Microsoft Office Home and Student on a disc, i try to install it expecting it to be a simple "follow the steps" scenario, but nothing seems to happen. I've made sure there is no previous version of office installed on my computer, I've restarted it taken the disc out, just repeated the process a number of times and nothing happens. When i put the disc in, it comes up with a page asking me whether or not i want to install, so obviously i click yes, it then takes a long time to install and then tells me to reboot my computer for the installation to take effect. Nothing happens. (I've tried this a number of times)

Please help

I have Windows 8.1

Thanks.................

Search for greater than number of characters in Word

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 10:49 AM PDT

Word 2007, 2010, 2013

I have a need to search for text within brackets. I know the wildcard string for that is \[*\]. The \ tells Word to take the bracket as a literal character.

But I don't want to find such items as [sic] [sp] [a.], etc. So I'd just like to find the string that has 4 or more characters within the brackets.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thank you!

Using Legacy Tools and Text Boxes in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:39 AM PDT

I am creating a number of forms that i want to be filled out electronically.  I know the basics of using the legacy tool to create a Text Form Field, and know how to limit the number of characters in the field.  The problem is, when i fill in the form, it pushes all the other text out of position, ruining the rest of the form.  A couple years ago, when i worked at another department, i created similar forms, and I am sure i created text boxes and put a legacy tool text form field inside it in order to avoid the movement of text on the form, but i can't seem to do it now.  Whenever i try to put a text form field in a text box, the legacy tool is greyed out and unaccessible.  I've tried inserting tables, but they are hard to move around and place correctly (especially when i have to place two separate tables on the same line) and it also moves text around.  How do i solve this problem.  I want to create text fields that won't move other text around when typing, but that i can restrict the number of characters entered into the field.  And I want to be able to restrict it so that only the appropriate fields can be accessed by the one filling out the form.

Table formatting issue

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:27 AM PDT

I am working with a rather large document (160+ pages) that is a series of large, preformatted tables.  Tables are generally 4 columns.  First column is pre-filled with a clause number, 2nd column contains a specification that must be met.  The third column is where I enter remarks or comments addressing the specification and the fourth column I complete with a Pass - Fail - N/A verdict.  We use these forms repeatedly in product evaluations.  Often, when testing similar products, it is advantageous to open an older report and copy/paste large sections of remarks & verdicts.  There are large sections where many of the specs are N/A - it's much quicker to copy in bulk rather than enter the results cell by cell - even with macros.

But in my latest report, when I copy information from my sample report and paste it into my new report, the text is being entered indented about 0.25" in the new doc.  Neither the old or new docs have the indents set - Word seems to be helping me all on it's own.  I have checked through the options looking for anything I might change to affect this behavior, but nothing has worked.  I am not looking forward to 150 more pages of adjusting entries.  Anybody have any ideas?

Urdu Keyboard used in Microsoft Office Word 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:25 AM PDT

I need to write a document in Urdu in MS Word. I have changed the language of my office to Urdu as well. I am finding it hard to write in Word because I don't know what alphabet in English I need to press to get the required alphabet in Urdu and it is different to the keyboard which is being used by Google Translator . Can you please send me two pictures of the keyboard which I can use when I am typing in Urdu in Word, one when the "Shift Key" is off and one when the "Shift Key" is on. Thanks in advance

How do you make headings reflect mirrored margins?

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:18 AM PDT

I am formatting this document for publishing with CreateSpace.  The original document I was working with had messed up formatting from converting from older versions.  I decided clear out all the text and graphics and start over.

The headings I'm using have a short vertical line attached to a horizontal line over the text -- I'm guessing it was modified from the "Shaded" document style.

I have mirrored margins.

The original document I worked with had the vertical line was always on the side of the smaller "outside" margin.

The document I have now always has the vertical line on the left hand side.

I have been trying to figure out how to have the heading styles reflect the mirrored margins with no avail.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TOC: I created a Table of Contents, but all of the highlighted chapters are not appearing?

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT

I first highlighted each chapter heading level 1, then I highlighted the sub-headings each sub-heading level 2, last from the References & TOC I selected automatic 1 and the the TOC appeared with the missing chapters! I tried using automatic 2 and the manual selection as well but that did not work.  I  created this entire document before attempting to add TOC, it was first created in Microsoft 2007, but I am currently using 2013: 365.

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 06:38 AM PDT

-          Hello,

     I am facing an issue since a few weeks and would like to know if somebody could give me a hand on it :

     I used to work in a Word File where I copy some Excel arrays using Link & keep source formatting option and didn't have any problem before.

     Here is how it appeared when right-clicking :


 -     After saving and closing the document, when I reopen it :


 

-         If I click on "Object" it says "object corrupted".

      I tried from different locations and checked the security. (it does the same even on new files)


I use Windows 7 (32bits) with Office 2010 SP1.

 

Any idea how to fix it?

Let me know if you need further info.

Thanks and regards,

Autocorrect Microsoft Word not working.

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:57 AM PDT

Hi.  When I type a document in Microsoft Word and misspell a word, Word 2013 doesn't automatically correct the word I'm misspelling.  Nor does a 'squiggly line' appear when it doesn't recognize the word, or, by right clicking on it, offer suggestions to offer the word it thought I meant to type.   (In fact, the message I'm typing NOW- this message, is autocorrecting my typing as I type.)  There are a thousand answers to this question, mostly all are unintelligible.  I was emailed a link which suggested making a new dictionary.  I did this (why would I have to?) but it did nothing.  What I need is a simple step by step guide as to what I should do to make Word autocorrect my misspellings and offer my the squiggly line option, something that every email and message board does.  I went to the box marked 'autocorrect'.  Are there even any words IN the dictionary there?  How do I import a dictionary?  Why would I even HAVE to?  Thanks in advance for any help you might give me.  Until then I'll just switch back to Word 2010. 

how to systematically number items and then make those numbers static

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:18 AM PDT

I have to create numbered requirement entries throughout a large document. Initially I increment by 10 so later on if I have to add entries to a section, I can make them sequential but not really necessary. There could be 2000-300 numbered entries in the document but when I'm finished, the numbers must stay staic,  They can not be allowed to change through insertion of new numbers or deletion of existing ones. In a way this is similar to using the copy/drag functionality in excel to create a series of numbers from a formula "= a1+10" and then copying/paste special/values so the results are present and not the formula.

An example is:

VR1  Requirement 1

VR10  Requirement 2

VR20 Requirement 3

Does anyone know if this would be possible in Word 2010, either through existing functionality or through backend VB coding?

Thanks!

Show Text boundaries in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:05 AM PDT

For some reason "Show Text Boundaires" have appeared when I open a Word Document (in the last week April 2014)

If I goto to File - Options - Advanced - Show Document Content - and untick "Show Text Boundaries" they disappear.

But when I close Word and open again they are back and the tick box is ticked again !!

Unable to stop them appearing permenantly.

Using Drop.down box in Word

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 02:04 AM PDT

I want to use a drop-down box in a word document, but I also want the rest of the document to be editable.

If I want the samll arrows to the right to be visiable i have to protect the form, but then the rest of the document also gets protected, and I don't want that.

How do I do that?

Thanks

VBA Replace Text

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 01:19 AM PDT

I wish to find and replace text in the main part of a Word document. By 'main', I refer to the body of text that excludes headers and footers.

I have used a macro to capture the following code ...

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
   
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "XYZ"
        .Replacement.Text = "Replacement Text"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With

    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

This works OK, but I now wish to include some variations on the text I wish to find. For example "XYZ1", "XYZ Ltd", "X Ltd"

The Replacement text will always be the same.

I could always repeat the 'With Selection.Find' block of code for each variation, but is there a more efficient method of coding this?

I obviously tried the repair option with the start up window. I keep getting the same results of not being able to use my Microsoft Office.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will not open after Windows 8.1 KB2919355 Update

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 04:17 PM PDT

After updating to the new April KB2919355 update for Windows 8.1 I am unable to open any Word, Excel, PowerPoint files or the programs themselves. All other Office programs from Office Professional 2013 work. The error code I receive in Windows Event Viewer for Word is this:

Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4605.1001, time stamp: 0x5328ef0c
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00007ffad0d50000
Faulting process id: 0xfec

Report Id: d67bb897-c5ba-11e3-8286-c48508471174
Faulting package full name: 
Faulting package-relative application ID: 

The only way to view this error is through Windows Event Viewer, it does not pop up automatically. 

I have tried every fix listed for "Office does not start" threads, reinstall, repair, cmd codes, Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2, etc. The only solution I have come across is to uninstall the update. Any one else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Highlight for copy/paste is Black, Word 2010

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 03:45 PM PDT

Recently, Word 2010 now highlights in black instead of the light blue when selecting text. It is only in Word 2010 (not Onenote, or Chrome or Notepad).  I have an up-to-date system Win 7 x64. I did repair of Office 2010 twice. I deleted the Normal template. Nothing is working thus far.

Not the end of the world, but not the best on the eyes.
