Microsoft Word - Inserting an image using mailmerge that includes a hyperlink

Microsoft Word - Inserting an image using mailmerge that includes a hyperlink

Inserting an image using mailmerge that includes a hyperlink

Posted: 17 May 2014 02:51 PM PDT

Hi guys,

I am trying to create a mail merge document in Word that includes an image that when pressed will open a webpage (ideally in a separate window). I know how to add an image using INCLUDEPICTURE, and I know how to add a HYPERLINK that pulls in the desired URL from my spreadsheet, but I don't seem to be able to find any information that would combine these two capabilities. 

If it makes any difference, the image file will be static (i.e., reference to a single URI), however, the hyperlink for the image will vary based on a unique URL that is linked to a record.

I suspect that this might be a simple request from a noob... but your assistance would be appreciated. 

Cheers,

B.

Latest Window Updates Cause Word 2003 to Crash

Posted: 17 May 2014 11:05 AM PDT

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 operating system but am using Office 2003 because I don't like the new WORD program.  All my old Office software has worked without any problems until Wednesday, May 15, 2014, after Windows updated my computer.  When I opened a WORD document, the WORD kept crashing.  So I restored my computer to an earlier date and WORD worked again.  Late last night, Windows updated my system again with the files below and WORD crashed again.  So I did a system restore again and changed the settings on Windows Update to notify me before downloading and installing any updates.  I want to keep my system secure, but I also want to use WORD 2003.  Does anyone know which updates below are causing WORD to crash?

Thank you,

Lynne

Create Calendar

Posted: 17 May 2014 06:43 AM PDT

Hi,

Is it possible to print a calendar with a page a day?

All I want to do is a blank page eg:

date

month

year

nothing else, 1 page for 1 day

Is there a way to set this up to print without creating 365 pages?

Thanks

Free Office vs Office 365 - what's the difference?

Posted: 17 May 2014 05:23 AM PDT

OK... I'm assuming there must be some differences

I'm super dissapointed with the free version you get as part of Onedrive

IMHO: it's the BEST online editor

BUT: it's no match for the Word program on a Mac or PC

The online one is lacking in sooo many ways in terms of interface

It seems sooo clunky

But... I've only been using the free version

Is the paid version *exactly* like the actual Word program??

One annoying thing is no macros  :(

OK, so I'm not sure how they could add macros into a web version - but I do use Macros to do specific things 

Any replies would be great

Thanks

Table columns - how to format a whole column

Posted: 17 May 2014 05:18 AM PDT

I want to create a table and have one or more columns be centred + have other formatting (like bold)

BUT... I want to apply the formatting AND have future rows created have the same properties

This is impossible to do

I've spent ages

The interface is really clunky

I can change properties of a whole column - but then future rows dont carry on the property set for centred

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Word to PDF

Posted: 17 May 2014 02:57 AM PDT

Win8.1 & Word 2007

After creating an A3 leaflet in Word I then saved it to a PDF file to send to the printers.

After updating errors in the file I tried to save to a PDF file again but this time the page background colour

only covered part of the page.

The original file is still perfect so why does the PDF suddenly become faulty?

Its an ISO...

.rtf doesn't open properly in Word 2007 or 2010

Posted: 16 May 2014 06:02 PM PDT

I received an .rtf document via email.  Couldn't preview it in my browser (a bad sign right off the bat) it so downloaded it and when it was opened by Word 2007 on my Windows 7 computer it was formatted incorrect.  I see the headers, spaces, gibberish, etc.  Tried it using a different computer that has Office 2010 Starter and the same thing happened.  On my third computer which is Windows 8.1 it tried to use WordPad and it came up blank.

So 0 for 3.  I didn't even know about .rtf so I looked it up and it says it is a format that is used when the sender doesn't know what word processing programs the recipient may have and should be able to be opened by most word processors.  So why did mine not work with Word 2007, Word 2010 and Office 365?  On three different computers no less.

I had to sheepishly respond to the sender and ask them to reformat it as .docx or .pdf and resend.  I'm waiting for their response.  This was an important file, how embrarassing.
