Saving building blocks in word docs outside of my computer

Posted: 23 May 2014 02:24 PM PDT

I have a word document that contains building blocks. Works great on my computer, but when I send it to someone else the links don't follow or embed.

How do I embed the building blocks so I can send to other users?

Tracking problem: entire document has deletion tracking

Posted: 23 May 2014 01:09 PM PDT

While editing a long manuscript with tracking turned on, I somehow caused the entire document to show "deletion" tracking -- every line in the doc has a red line through it.  How did this possibly happen -- and what can be done to prevent this from happening again?

Microsoft 2010 Document keeps moving all the type in my callout shapes everytime I open the file

Posted: 23 May 2014 01:00 PM PDT

I am not a Word Expert, but I created a document that I inserted pictures into. I then inserted a box from the shapes menu and added text in the box. Everytime I open the file, all the text in the "callout" boxes has moved or disappeard. Anyone know why this would happen. I've fixed the document numerous times and am fed up!! Am I not creating the document correctly?

Word 2013 doesn't look the same after saving for the first time and page numbering is disabled

Posted: 23 May 2014 11:46 AM PDT

I subscribed to Microsoft Office 365 last year for college. I've been using Word 2013 for a year now without problems. As of yesterday when I create a Word 2013 document from Blank, as I always have, it looks how it always has, until I save it for the first time - go through the whole Save As process - and save it how I always have, as a .docx. But when I reopen it, it looks different. Page numbering has been disabled - which is a requirement for my school papers. I hide the numbering on the first page, as required, but when I enter down no pages have numbering at all. What's going on and how can I fix this?

The normal Word:

The problem, looks all squished, page numbering is grey:

Large blank section in my word document (resume)

Posted: 23 May 2014 11:26 AM PDT

I downloaded a resume template from MS Office online and everything was going fine until I shared it before reviewing it. I simply looked back at it in View mode and there's a huge blank section where I had deleted a table I didn't need. Now I'm editing it and I am using the "show" selection for my paragraphs. 

I really don't know where to go from here.

Microsoft Word blocks downloads

Posted: 23 May 2014 11:20 AM PDT

I don't know if it is my computer or Microsoft Word doing this, but every time I go to download a document from my schools website it will not open the file. I click the link, it shows that it is downloading and when I click to open it shoots me an error message telling me to use text repair.  I did repair my word through control panel and still no go.   I called my schools IT department and for some reason he had to go into properties and unblock the documents after he saved them to my desktop.  I was thinking it was perhaps AVG or some kind of app that was causing the problems so I deleted AVG.  It is still doing it!  The only way the document can be opened if the file is saved to desktop, right clicking and unblocking in the properties.  I have never had to these steps and I was able to open documents just fine last semester. 

ActiveX command Button Fails in Word 2013

Posted: 23 May 2014 10:54 AM PDT

I have a word document that was created in ms word 2007 that also works in 2010 but, does not in 2013.  The file has 21 sections.  The first page has ActiveX command buttons to select sections by number and the others have a return to section 1 command button.  2013 operates okay between sections 1 and 2 but the other section buttons fail after three tries. Toggling Design Mode does a reset for three more tries. The VBA code is the same for all sections except the Count number changes.  The code to go to section 3 is:

 

Private Sub A02SL_Click()

'

' Slates Macro

'

'

    Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=3, Name:=""

End Sub

Problem adding new comment in Word when using split window

Posted: 23 May 2014 10:25 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2013 on Windows 7. I'm reviewing a document using a split window so I can compare two sections which should be very similar. When I try to add a new comment in the bottom pane, the focus shifts to the top pane. The top pane scrolls to the same position as as the bottom pane and opens up the comment ballon so I can add my comment. The problem is that I want to look at what was originally in the top pane when adding my comment so I have to close the comment window, scroll one of the panes to where I was before and re-open the comment window. This is a big hassle and conpletlly disruptive to my train of thought.

Once the comment has been created, I can edit it in either pane without a problem.

So is this a bug or is there some setting that I haven't been able to find yet that affects this behavior?

Recent Documents list is gone

Posted: 23 May 2014 06:55 AM PDT

I have tried to find a solution to no avail. Yesterday, a tech 'cleaned up' my computer, first time it's ever been done, it's 2.5 years old. He did several scans with virus and malware softwares and also deleted tons of temp files and whatnot. This is Win7, Office 2007. Now, in Word and Excel, my Recent Documents list is gone when I click on File to open a doc. Can I get it back? I use that list a lot, it shows several dozen. By the way, I think I had it set to show 50 but I note that it is now set at 17.

MS word 2010 document saving issues

Posted: 23 May 2014 06:42 AM PDT

I'm having issues with updates that are made to text in Word 2010 not being retained after the document has been saved.    This is a random occurrence and so far no logic in the pattern.

When I Print using Ms Word, it also Prints a info page

Posted: 23 May 2014 03:04 AM PDT

The info page contains date modified, date sent to the printer, total editing time, user name and template (maybe some more but I forget.).

Is there a setting in ms word?, or is it my printer/laptop?

A 2 column bullet list in a 2 column layout

Posted: 23 May 2014 02:37 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm making my resume, and the whole page is based on a 2 column layout. However, in the right column I want to have a bulleted list that consists out of 2 columns as well. How can I manage this?

Thanks in advance :)

Cannot copy and paste shapes inter- and intra- document in Microsoft Office Word 2013.

Posted: 23 May 2014 01:06 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a problem where I cannot COPY and PASTE a figure made from SHAPES.

The figure made from a lot of shapes and I GROUP all of them together.

I had tried CTRL-C and CTRL- V but not working. I had it figured that I had to RIGHT CLICKED 

and DRAG to copy (COPY HERE) within the same word document.

Same problem occurred when I wanted to paste the figure into another word document but

this time I cannot use the COPY HERE feature.

I had read over the internet that I have to use FORMAT PAINTER under HOME tab

but that did not resolve the problem, it caused more problems where all my opened Word

Document were not responding and slowed down my computer.

I had to closed all my word document (luckily Word have document recovery features).

Please help me. I need to submit my THESIS soon.

Something went wrong. We couldn't start your program

Posted: 23 May 2014 12:49 AM PDT

Hi

I have Office 2013 installed on my Windows 7 and today I can't open anything! Word, excel, outlook, etc...

A box comes up saying 'Something went wrong. We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again. IF it won't start, try repairing....'

I've tried that route but under Program & Features it only gives me the option to uninstall or change, not to repair.

What do I do??!

Calculations in a Word

Posted: 23 May 2014 12:07 AM PDT

I have created a form using Microsoft Word by inserting legacy form fields.  I've changed the number format so that it returns only whole numbers.  But the form does not round.  Is there a way to get the totals to round up or down?  I suppose I have to insert a macro on exit, but what terminology would I use to get the proper return?

Unable to open files

Posted: 22 May 2014 08:49 PM PDT

Hi, I'm unable to open any Microsoft Office files from a folder. The majority of the files on my computer are from Office 2007, but some are from the Office 365 (either the university or home option, I don't remember which) that I purchased in September 2013. It would make sense to me if I couldn't open any of the files from prior to September, but I can't even open the files that I created in Office 2013. The "save as" option only gives me "word document" or the appropriate title for the different programs. I am able to open any document from Office 2013, but that's a little tedious to go through that process whenever I want to open a document. 

 

I have Windows 7 on my computer and have tried the tried and true method of "turn it off and then back on." If anyone out there has any idea of what's going on with my computer that would be great.
