Microsoft Word - microsoft word 365 wont open- gives error message

microsoft word 365 wont open- gives error message

Posted: 30 May 2014 02:03 PM PDT

I've just downloaded Microsoft Office 365 onto my Windows 8 laptop. Everything works fine except Word. It appears to begin to start, but then an error message appears that says "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair it now?" Then I can choose "Repair Now", "Help" or "Close". The "Repair Now" option doesn't work. Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks- Anne 

Printing issue, documents no longer printing in order

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:02 PM PDT

My company just upgraded my office from 2000 to 2010, with this has come a lot of headaches for me.  I need to be able to do batch document printing so I would name my documents, 1document, 2document, 3 document and I could get them to print in order when I was using word 2000 now they just print in random order even with being named in order.  I am sure it's an easy fix, unfortunatly I don't have access to the spooler settings on the printer so hopefully there is a work around other than printing them one by one. 

Readability Statistic

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:58 PM PDT

Is the readability statistics tool available in other languages, specifically Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish? Would a Japanese/Chinese/Spanish user turn on/off the readability statistics tool the same way an English-speaking user would? 

Word 2013 Print Inline changes without comments or formatting bubbles

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:44 PM PDT

Hi, 

I am trying to print a pdf of a Word 2013 document with inline changes only. However, every time I try to do this, I get the formatting bubbles to the right, and they are cut off the page. I just want the pdf with the changes marked inline. Thanks!

Why does the recommended placement of a Style in the Style Pane change after I've assigned it?

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:06 PM PDT

I created a Template with a set of Styles that our company uses. I've gone into Manage Styles and assigned a recommended placement for all the Styles. I assigned an often-used Style to a priority of "3." I sort the list "as recommended" and check the box to "Show Recommended Styles Only".  Then I save, restrict to "Limit Formatting to Permitted Styles" and save as the file as a .dotx.

I then double-click to open the file, save it as a .docx and begin to create a document. After I've worked on it for a day or 2 (saving, closing, etc.), I find that the Style I've assigned to "3" has changed to be "last." I don't understand why this is happening or how to fix it.  The other Styles stay in the correct order. The .docx that I'm working on still has the formatting limited to permitted styles only, and I haven't even opened the "Manage Styles" window.  And I don't have the "automatically update" box checked.

Can anyone help? 

Thanks,

Susan

Formatting text in accordance to text colour

Posted: 30 May 2014 11:31 AM PDT

Hello Everyone.

I have a large word document that totals over 5000 words that I am wishing to print. It is in the form of a survey, with questions answered in the format shown below.

1. What is your name? John Smith

I currently have the question and answers in the same font and style, but the answers are printed in red text. However, I wish to print the file from a black and white printer and was wondering if there was a tool similar to the find and replace tool that could find all of the red text in the file and apply formatting to it i.e. make it all italic.

Thank you in advance

Jack

Help, copying address from document to envelope Word 2010

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I hope I can explain this properly but when I copy an address from a proof of service document into the envelope portion of mailings, it does not format the address properly.  It will run the lines together.  With Word 2000, I would have no issues, it would properly paste the address into the envelope without having to manually space the address.  As an example, when I paste into 2010 it looks something like this...

Jeff So and So 3455

This Street, Los

Angeles CA 90070.

Does anyone have a solution to this?  I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to have to manually change the address when printing envelopes but when you print 200 envelopes a day, every second spared is a very good thing.  Thanks for your time.

Bookmarks disappearing/deleted after running the TOC Update

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I have a large document with a large TOC using several different styles to create links within the document from the TOC as styles normally do.

I have also inserted bookmarks into many parts of of the TOC to quickly hyperlink from within the document back to certain locations in the TOC.

Whenever I add a new section.sub-section into the document....and then right click in the TOC and Update Entire Table.......the update will run.....it will add in the new headers and or sub headers......but it deletes every bookmark I previously created......so...I am forced to re create many many bookmarks on every update to the document. I have researched exstensively but can't figure out why the bookmarks get wiped on the TOC update.

Any info would be appreciated.

Word Starter 2010 - Everything Appears Half Size In Print Layout

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:25 AM PDT

Half Size Problem

I have the preloaded Office Starter software. All has been going well in Word (and Excel).

I like to work in Print Layout in A4. That is - very basic.

Suddenly, any new document, set to A4 (Page Layout - Size) with a standard 11 pt. font, is appearing small in Print Layout.

I haven't adjusted any of the settings; so the only way to get to a working format {when set to display in Print Layout) is to re_size in A3.

Has anyone had this problem ?

 

incorrect pagination in table of contents

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:19 AM PDT

I have a user guide with 12 chapters, all separate Word documents. When generating the TOC, as I've been doing for many years, it ends up with correct heading titles and chapter numbers but they are all page 1. The TOC generated correctly last week.

Using Word 2013 and Windows 7.

Table pasted from EXCEL spreadsheet into Word won't join table created from in Word.

Posted: 30 May 2014 07:45 AM PDT

I have a Word document with a table in it that I created from scratch in Word.  Then I pasted a table from an EXCEL spreadsheet into the Word document below the table created in Word, and I can't get the EXCEL table to join the Word table, even with the two tables' "Text wrapping" set to "None".  When I delete the paragraph mark at the end of the Word table, the first character in the top left cell of the table from EXCEL gets deleted, and the two tables won't join.  But if I delete the table pasted from EXCEL, and create a table from scratch in Word, and delete the spaces between the two tables they do join, so I know how to make two tables join, just not if the bottom one is an EXCEL-created table.  Can someone tell me how to let the EXCEL table join the Word table?  Is it maybe because the EXCEL table might have automatic links, or something else attached to it from EXCEL?  It is a simple table with only text and no formulas.  Thank you.

Tracked changes nightmare - everything gone!

Posted: 30 May 2014 06:47 AM PDT

I've trawled the web for an answer, but I'm coming up short...

I've been working on editing a long document (100k words) over the last couple of weeks. I've been using 2 different computers, and the tracked changes have been showing up in two colours - for "Username1" and "Username2" depending on which device I'm using.

On the computer corresponding to "Username1" I've just upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2010. I opened up the file today, only to find all the changes I'd made to the document in the previous week have vanished - right from the point where "Username2" edits ended. 

It should have looked like this when I opened the file:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Username 1 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (66k words)

But it looks like this:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (78k words)

It looks like the upgrade to Word 2010 has stripped out all the changes made since I started the last session. Or perhaps they're hiding in there somewhere and I can't access them. Privacy settings maybe? I can't figure it out, why it would remove only the last round of editing and not the previous ones. 

Anyway, I didn't have a chance to send the non-stripped-out version to my cloud account before this happened - and it looks like the removal of the changes is permanent as the missing edits don't show up in other programs I've tried to use to get them back, including plain text. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have happened, and whether I can get these changes back?? They amount to about a third of the work I've done on this document, and will take me a week to go through them all again. 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!!

How can I prevent users from editing the header of document in Word 2000 or higher

Posted: 30 May 2014 04:14 AM PDT

Hi All,

I have been given the following code that I have pasted in to the This Document of a Word 2010 Template, it works well, but when I do the spell check, it debugs and then no longer works, any advice on what I am doing wrong?

For Word 97, click here

Option Explicit
'reserve memory for an application variable
Private WithEvents wdApp As Word.Application

Private Sub Document_New()
    'assign Word to the application variable
    If wdApp Is Nothing Then
        Set wdApp = ThisDocument.Application
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Document_Open()
'assign Word to the application variable
If wdApp Is Nothing Then
    Set wdApp = ThisDocument.Application
End If
End Sub

Private Sub wdApp_WindowSelectionChange(ByVal Sel As Selection)
    'quit if active doc isn't attached to this template
    If ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate <> ThisDocument Then Exit Sub
    'get out of the header/footer if we're in it
    Select Case Sel.StoryType
    Case wdEvenPagesFooterStory, wdEvenPagesHeaderStory, _
               wdFirstPageFooterStory, wdFirstPageHeaderStory, _

Copy Paste Bug in Word 2013

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:38 AM PDT

Step 1:  Open a new word Document.

Step 2: Type the below in the document :

           Feature based testing (FBT)

Note: Feature based testing -> Is Bold and (FBT) - > is not Bold

Step 3: Now copy the word typed in Step 2 , but we see the following getting copied :-

              Feature based testing (FBT)

Feature based testing -> Is not in Bold and (FBT) - > is Bold.


May be this is a known issue, but nonetheless I noticed it.

Default measurement in Word 2013

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:23 AM PDT

I've recently upgraded to Office 365 and Word 2013. I've noticed that measurements for paragraph indents/spacing and tabs in dialog boxes are shown as 'px' - pixels - and revert to this even when entered as points or centimetres. Changing the default measurement under Options, Advanced doesn't solve it. If I have set a paragraph indent and just need to check it, I can't because it is shown as pixels. I can't understand why anyone would need pixels, except for producing html documents. Can anyone help please.

Bug in MS Word 2013? Not printing last digit of expression in the denominator.

Posted: 29 May 2014 09:40 PM PDT

This is a very annoying bug for a math teacher...

So it appears that the last digit of expressions do not print for seemingly random equation objects in MS Word.

Here's a sample:

And here's what happens when I print:

Here's another sample from another document:

And here's what happens when I print:

Note that the second sample has plenty of other expressions that printed just fine.

Once an equation doesn't print properly, it's always the same equation that prints incorrectly. As in, number 7 above always prints wrong whereas number 4 always seems to print fine.

The problem still occurs with other computers connected to other printers.

Perhaps a coincidence, but I did notice that the error is always the last digit of a trinomial in the denominator. Seems oddly specific...reminder note, the expression for problem 4 fits that criteria and printed fine.

Anyone have any thoughts or insights?

Autosize text to fit a shape in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 29 May 2014 07:14 PM PDT

I have found exactly the opposite of my request available. . . I would like the size of the shape to remain the same while the text size shrinks or grows automatically , but I cannot find this option in Microsoft Word 2010.  Is this even an option anymore?  I already know how to make the shape change based on the text.  Can you help me?

MS Word 2007 won't recognize "indentify" as misspelled

Posted: 29 May 2014 07:09 PM PDT

I'm running Windows 7. And this is a new issue. Up until around yesterday, Word would flag "indentify" as misspelled. But for some reason, it's stopped doing it.  For the most part, it everything else seems to be working correctly in spell check, except for this one instance. (At least, this is the only instance that I've noticed.)

I've already cleared my custom dictionary. I've shut down my computer and restarted it. Neither of which works. I tried live chatting with Microsoft support, but they just want to sell me the premium support something or other.

They suggested it might be a virus issue - My virus software hasn't detected anything

They also suggested maybe some type of file corruption - I don't know how to check for this.

I welcome any assistance on this matter.

Open Word documents with 2007, Excel with 2013 (Windows 7)

Posted: 29 May 2014 06:51 PM PDT

I have both Office 2007 and 2013, and Windows 7.  I really like some of the features of the new Excel 2013, but I can't stand the look of Word 2013.  I would like Word documents (.doc and .docx) to open with Word 2007 by default, but Excel documents to open with Excel 2013 by default.  When I right-click a word document, only Word 2013 is shown (under both "Recommended Programs" and "Other Programs"), not Word 2007.  How can I set the defaults the way I want them?  Any help is much appreciated.

'Comments' shows up every time i open a particular document

Posted: 29 May 2014 05:27 PM PDT

I unchecked the markup option, saved it (also saved as in another place) then reopened it and there it is again.

If i email it to another party would the mark up-shown option be default?

Normally to get rid of the changes i just have to accept it, but I can't even accept the changes- the bubbled comments doesn't show up, just that the changes are underlined and in red.

Header size issue

Posted: 29 May 2014 04:33 PM PDT

I have an issue with a document where, only on the last page of a section, the header is 3-4" high instead of the normal size in the rest of the section. It's doing this in several sections (which are actually chapters). Dragging the header guide to change the size only serves to move the header to the previous page.  I used a template which I modified to include my own style sheet. The issue does not exist in the original template, but I can't figure out for the life of me what I might have done. Am not a Word expert but usually able to navigate my way through sections, headers, etc. without any issues. Any suggestions are appreciated.


VIsio 2013 and Microsoft Word 2013 ... Visio starts out ok .. and once edited ... too BIG for word!! HELP!!

Posted: 29 May 2014 10:35 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to review this question.  I will set this up the best I can.

I start with a template provided by my employer that is a word document that has a visio drawing that requires  editing.  When I open the visio drawing everything seems fine, I edit the sections required and then when I go back to the word document ... the visio drawing is now WAY to big on the page and I am unable to make is smaller.

What am I missing?

I tried to drag the borders of the visio document from within the word document.. no luck

I tried to copy the visio document from within visio and the paste in to word .. no luck

Thanks for any input and the upcoming discussion.
