Creating mail merge letters with multiple rows for each page

Posted: 21 May 2014 02:33 PM PDT

I'm trying to create receipts for a non-profit organization.  I'd like to create one receipt for each person who has donated and have each of their transactions on the same sheet.  I've tried many things but I'm completely lost here.  It just keeps going to the next page and creating a page for each transaction.

How to protect only part of a document in Word 2007?

Posted: 21 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT

I have a questionnaire set up (in MS Word 2007), and the first section I set up as a table, because they have to fill in their name, address, etc.

The 2nd part is a table with check boxes for Yes or No. I put the check boxes in with the Developer tab, but in order for them to work, I have to protect the table. When I do this, it protects the entire document, not just the table with the check boxes. I've tried highlighting just the table, but it still protects the whole document.

Is there a way to protect just the table w/the check boxes?

AutoCorrect Word 2007 doing something very strange

Posted: 21 May 2014 09:52 AM PDT

I've used Word and AutoCorrects (ACs) for years.  I have approximately 3000 ACs.  Yesterday I created an AC with a doctor's name, address, and phone.  That AC works fine.  I have 2 ACs (b/c = because and d/c = discontinue).  Now when I type ANY letter of the alphabet followed by "/c" it expands the AC I created with the doctor's information (which is named "chiu,c" in my ACs).  My b/c and d/c ACs expand to the doctor's info.  Again, ANY letter followed by "/c" expands to the doctor's info!  If I type my AC of b/c or d/c in Outlook (email), it expands CORRECTLY into because/discontinue!

I deleted my "d/c," "a/c," and "chiu,c" ACs.  If I type ANY letter followed by /c, it STILL expands into the doctor's info!

I've deleted all 3 ACs and retyped and resubmitted as new ACs.  It still happens.

What the heck did I do to create this mess, and can it be undone?  HELP!!  (I'm a medical transcriptionist and ACs are a huge part of my day.)

Word 2013 - Table of Contents for multiple Word files still not working

Posted: 21 May 2014 08:44 AM PDT

Prior to Word 2013 we used table of contents templates that used RD codes to generate the TOC, pulling from multiple Word files. Our documents commonly are made up of multiple files. In Word 2013 the TOC entries will be pulled in but everything is listed as page 1. We hired a programming consultant to fix the problem, thinking the VBA wasn't compatible with Word 2013, but the consultant found it was a bug with Word 2013 - that the RD codes don't work properly.

This was a long time ago that this all transpired. Any word on when this functionality will be back in Word 2013?

We create documents that are large and complex enough that chapters are in separate files, sometimes even subchapters. We can't use the master document tool because combining affects formatting of the documents - it just makes for too much labor at the end.

Change of Font.

Posted: 21 May 2014 07:41 AM PDT

Dear All,

I have in my computer many (more than 1000) word pages. Now I want to change font of all the word pages. So till now I was opening each and every word page and changing the font. This is very time consuming.

So please let me know that is there any way in which I can change font of all the word pages at once (without opening each and every word page.)

Also please let me know how to set as default Font in excel (as option as available in word.)

Looking ahead for support.

Thanks,

Miss Akansha.

Text box in Word 2013 - repeats in same position on continuation sheets

Posted: 21 May 2014 04:41 AM PDT

Hi..

The Community recently answered a question regarding different header and footer content on page 1 relative to subsequent pages in Word 2013. However, I now have a new question concerning the same document I am creating as a template:

The document is primarily a letter template that will have the capability to extend beyond page 1 when the text content requires this (hence the main letterhead header & footer being different from the continuation sheets.

I need to lock the address panel area ONLY on page 1 into a fixed position thus:

  • Text box 78mm wide by 50mm deep
  • Positioned 19mm from left edge of page and 48mm from the top of the page (position dimensions noted as being left of page to the left edge of the text box and top of the page to the top of the text box).

This is only required on the first page of the document, and while I have successfully set this up, including using the anchor lock function, when I tab down the page onto the second sheet, the text box appears on the second sheet and is removed from the first page. I only require to have the text box locked into position on page 1 (for the addressee's details, of course).

Can anyone assist / provide a solution?

Thanks in advance. 

Print multi page doc 2-sided w/ Word 2013 under Windows 8.1

Posted: 21 May 2014 04:25 AM PDT

I'm running Office 2013 under Windows 8.1 (Recent upgrade from 8.0). Since the upgrade, I'm unable to successfully print a multi-page doc in 2-sided form. The option to print "Reverse Order" (using Word 2013) was removed / lost when I upgraded to 8.1. I am running the latest driver for HP6600 printer.

Any suggestions?

Page Colour get's lost when I save my document as PDF

Posted: 21 May 2014 01:25 AM PDT

We're using Word to create PDF's for use on our website. To make the documents fit the corporate identity on our site they need a specific Background colour.

For a while (till march this year) this worked like a charm. From then on the page colour got lost in the conversion to PDF (via save as..). Instead I got white background. I circumvented the problem by assigning a Background colour to the table that spreads over most of the page which works but leaves me with slim but noticable white borders.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Thx for your help and greetings from Austria.

Existing Word Document behaving very slowly and almost unusable in Word / Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 20 May 2014 11:33 PM PDT

I have loaded an old document probably originally created in Word 2010. When I load this document in Word for Office 2003, I noticed that my CPU fan on my laptop turned on and seemed to ramp up to maximum. The document is not that long only 33 A4 pages with 8400 words approximately. I thought that the problem may be related to the raster graphics that were inserted in the document, so I deleted most of them, as these will be different in my latest report. I re-saved the document in Office 365 (I am using the latest Office 36 update under Windows 8.1 update 1) and then reopened it. To my surprise this tactic did not make much difference. The problem occurs when you scroll the document. It is very sluggish and at points locks up as one scrolls. The CPU fan comes on and seems to ramp up to max. My laptop seems to be using an horrendous amount of CPU power. My hold system is sluggish when this document is open but I don't know why. My laptop is the latest I7 with 8 GB ram and 4GB dedicated graphics card. Unfortunately I don't think word, however, utilises the a dedicated graphics. Although, I note that most of my other graphic intensive programs do however. In frustration and because of time pressure I took a copy of this file and opened it up in OpenOffice it translated perfectly and the document scrollsand reacts like it is on "steroids", when scrolled and edited using that software.  I have done a check of the document using MS Word Office 365 check document utility which is included in the options menu of Word and that reports all is OK. Can someone suggest a way to enhance the speed of MS Word or speed up the MS Word document? Maybe it needs a good "purge" but that command is not available in MS Word?

Thanking you in advance.

 

is it possible to split word document into seperate documents?

Posted: 20 May 2014 10:42 PM PDT

Hi. I have a file that contains tables. I want to know if it is possible to split them into seperate word documents using master documents or other tools?

I read about this in your forums, but it was not clear to me. Here is Sample file.

Remove extraneous Next Page Section Break

Posted: 20 May 2014 09:57 PM PDT

Simple 1 page document. Well, it's supposed to be only 1 page and that's the issue. A portion of the page has a 3-column section that starts with a Continuous Section Break followed by the 3 columns of text which is then followed immediately by two Continuous Section breaks. Why two?

This is followed by normal text to the bottom of the page which then has a mysteriously behaving Next Page Section Break. Attempts to delete the NP break cause the immediately previous break above (the second of the double Continuous breaks above) to change to a NP break thus destroying the page layout.

Tried the Draft View approach to insert a Continuous and then delete the NP but that fails the same way. The new Continuous break just added immediately changes to NP. Net zero fix.

Determining Number of Word in a Section

Posted: 20 May 2014 06:08 PM PDT

I need to count, using VBA, the number of words within the current section (i.e., between the forced hard page separators), including both the body of the text and all of the footnotes.  

Since all of the footnotes are within the current section, technically, in my case, the result would be the same if we count all of the footnote words or just those associated with the section.

These are very long documents so manually selecting the area takes forever and that does not count the footnotes.

How is that done?

TIA
