Issue with Encarta Dictionary in Microsoft Office Word 2007

Posted: 25 May 2014 01:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I am having an issue using the Encarta Dictionary in Microsoft Office (Home and Student) Word 2007; every time I right click a word and then hit Look Up, the Research tab opens but it says "No results were found". Additionally, if I type in a word and then click the white arrow (in a green box) icon, the same thing happens.

The thesaurus seems to be working, as does the spellchecker. It is just the dictionary that seems to be having some sort of malfunction.

This first began happening about a week ago. Up until then everything was working perfectly.

I have not installed any new software/hardware (in the last couple of months), so I would not think that there would be any compatibility issues causing the problem.

I have tried running Microsoft Office diagnostics (no issues were found), doing a repair through Windows Programs and Features (without result), and uninstalling/re-installing the program (also, without result).

Finally (after looking online for a solution), I tried going into Research options, clicking on Add Services and then typing http://rr.office.microsoft.com/Research/query.asmx into the address bar, clicking add and then install. This too, has not resolved the issue.

My operating system is Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2).

Any assistance (or information) that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dennis

Lining number forms in footnote reference markers

Posted: 25 May 2014 12:53 PM PDT

I have a document with footnotes, and I'm trying to change the font from the default Cambria, probably to Constantia. The first thing you notice on trying to do so is that most of the new fonts use old-style number forms, which look horrible especially in footnote reference markers. I mean, footnote "1", supposedly superscript, extends to a lower height than a lowercase "i". Unacceptable. Now, I can go to Font > Advanced > OpenType Features > Number Forms and force the text to use lining number forms. But if I change the Normal style, the Footnote Reference style, or even the direct formatting, none of it actually takes effect! If I manually put in a superscript "1", give it the Footnote Reference style, and try any of the above, I get the nice lining number form that I'm looking for. So, it seems that using automatic footnote numbering disables any explicit override of the number forms. wtf?

Of course, as an unsatisfactory workaround, I can switch to a different font or force the reference markers to be raised higher up.

So, has anyone else run into this, and has anyone found a way to make it work?

Form field help text

Posted: 25 May 2014 12:45 PM PDT

Do I understand correctly that the help text in a form field only shows if you select F1, and will not automatically show when you hover over or begin to type in the text box?  Is there a work around for that?

Word 2013 printing issues (cannot print to specified tray)

Posted: 25 May 2014 10:53 AM PDT

The organisation i work for have recently migrated to Windows 7 with Office 2013. I work in the IT department and I have a particular issue I am currently dealing with and would appreciate any assistance with this.  A customer has a number of Word documents that where created in Word 97 -2003 format and are password protected.  The customer has not had the password for these documents for a number of years but this has not mattered until now as they are just used as templates and printed on headed paper. Up until the upgrade customer has been able to select print and on the Xerox print driver select the print output to tray 2 which is used for header paper.  This previously worked without any issues but once customer was upgraded to Word 2013 now no matter what she selects on the print driver properties e.g. tray 2,3,4 it will always come out on tray 3.  I am not very familiar with Word but i presumed the page setup on the document was configured to print to tray 3.  I recently discovered three others in the office use these documents and they are also on word 2013, these colleagues can specify tray 2 in the xerox print driver properties and this will print to this tray which has confused me.  I thought their may be a print driver issues on customers machine so i uninstalled the xerox driver and installed the print driver version her colleagues are using for this network printer but this did not make a difference.  On further investigation user can print to tray 2 out-with word 2013 so the issue is just confined to Word 2013, further to this when i run word.exe on customers machine with my domain account i can use these documents and print to tray 2 without an issue.  I thought this maybe an issue with the users word profile so tried the following: deleted normal.dot, deleted data, options, common word 2013 registry keys on HKEY Current user and re-booted but this did not make any difference.  Also please note if user creates a new word 2013 doc and in page setup selects tray 2 this will print to tray 2 fine.  

Reg keys deleted:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Data

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common

Office for iPad slow typing

Posted: 25 May 2014 10:01 AM PDT

I have created several documents in the desktop version off Office 365 and would like to be able to edit them on my ipad.  I've noticed that typing in these documents is unacceptably slow.  I've tried switching compatibility mode on the desktop, but to no avail.  Any thoughts??

"Contacts failed to load" problem when sending Word document

Posted: 25 May 2014 09:48 AM PDT

Whenever I try to send a document I've created using Microsoft's Word I get an error message from Microsoft Mail saying "Contacts failed to load."  After clicking OK, I get "Windows Mail could not be started.  The application was unable to initialize the Windows COntacts.  Your computer may be out of memory or your disk full (0x8000FFFF)"  After again clicking OK I get the following screen, " Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized."

My Operating System is VISTA Home Premium and I use Internet Explorer. 

The only issue I've had recently was a virus infection which Best Buy eliminated for me.  I think it has only been since then I've had this problem, but it may have been earlier.

I previously tried unsuccessfully to sync my Outlook Express address book with Windows Mail.   But that was long before this problem occurred.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Word 2013 will not print but everything else will..

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:05 PM PDT

Hi All, I have have tried many options but I really think this is a Word office 2013 problem.

Environment. Windows 7 64 bit, Office 2013 Home and Student tried installing as 32 bit and 64 bit but no change to the problem. Printer will work with Note pad, Firefox, Excel 2013, IE11, Thunderbird, etc

Tried many actions as suggested on the internet. Too many to write down.

Final actions

Un-installed Office 2013 using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501. This is a complete removal.

Checked to make directories are empty.

Reboot Pc.

Installed Office 32 bit and the same wit h 64 bit. No errors.

Go to print from Word 2013 . Error ¨We couldn't print because there doesn't seem to be a printer installed. :(. ¨ Same error as from the beginning)

What I have noticed

The printer is ready but the printer properties button does not work.

Page size = Custom page Size and with an exclamation mark.

Now you will like this

I opened Excel 2013 with a blank xls and add some data and it will print. Now if I go to word 2013 it will print. The printer properties button does now work in word and also the Page size = A4 (my default). Very strange.

Yes I did try stopping and starting the spooler, turned off fire walls, Avast, Emsisoft while installing and using

Thanks for any solutions

Microsoft Word deleted half of a previously saved document?

Posted: 24 May 2014 09:43 PM PDT

Hi,

I was writing something a few weeks ago and I opened the document up again today and instead of the at least 30-40 pages I had written, the version that appears is one with only 12 pages. I am completely sure I saved it, and even if I hadn't saved it the very last time I closed the document, the most I would have lost is a couple pages, not half the document- because I'd opened, saved, and closed it a few times since the current document version shown.

It's like Microsoft Word just decided to delete half my document and I tried to Autorecover it and some other stuff, but it says there are no previous versions available- plus, like I said, I haven't looked at it in a few weeks.

I'm super confused about how this possibly could have happened and I'd really appreciated any insight into recovering the original document. I know the odds are slim, but I just thought I'd try.

Thanks.

word will not open automatically from start-up and then closes completely when I press the minimise button meaning I have to reconfigure all over again

Posted: 24 May 2014 09:34 PM PDT

When I open computer Word 2007 does not open with it.  If I want to see a document or create one I must wait for the programme to configure itself. When finished with the document and I close it the reconfiguring goes on again.  This repeats each time I open any  doc. It happens also when I press the minimise button,

Having trouble with a two column form with tables

Posted: 24 May 2014 05:50 PM PDT

I've created this form:

2 columns

a table in each column

Each side has different information that gets filled in by the user. Sometimes it's a little bit of information, but sometimes it's a lot of information, necessary information. The problem comes with the left hand table runs to the bottom of the page. Then the right hand table gets pushed to the second page, leaving the first page with just a left hand column (ie: the right hand column is blank). Is there something I can do to make the left hand table move directly to the left hand column of the second page instead?

This is what happens:

NORMAL

left table | right table

TOO MUCH INFO

left table | <blank>

--page break---

left table | right table

WHAT I WANT

left table | right table

--page break--

left table | <blank>

Can I make this work in Word? Is there something else I should use?
