Microsoft Word - Spell check "disappeared" in Word 2007

Microsoft Word - Spell check "disappeared" in Word 2007

Spell check "disappeared" in Word 2007

Posted: 05 May 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I have checked in Word Options that proofing is turned on for the document and tried to recheck document. There are definitely errors (names, etc. not found in the dictionary). It seems that Word thinks it should skip checking segments (i.e. the entire document). When I recheck the document, it finishes almost immediately. How do I "turn on" again that the entire document should be checked for spelling and grammar without any being ignored?

Hello.

I am trying to install Windows 2003 from the Microsoft website. Is this possible? Microsoft Support gave me the link to their website so I'm assuming it is. How do I do it?

Thank you

Permanently changing Font in Word 2013

Posted: 05 May 2014 11:52 AM PDT

I have spent the last five hours - yes five hours - searching online for answers as to how to permanently change the font in Word 2013 AND make it stay!!!!  I have printed answers from countless people and tried every one, carefully following every instruction.  It changes the font, until I exit Word.  When I re-open Word, the ridiculous Calibri font is back and I have to go through the process all over again.  I work in a law firm.  The legal world widely uses the Times New Roman 12 point font.  Come on Microsoft.  There has to be a simple way to make this happen and make it permanent.  

Help with 2007 Word Developer - Removing BOLD from Text Content Control

Posted: 05 May 2014 11:14 AM PDT

Hi.  I am creating a lot of forms for my office to use - and one of the things I like best is using the Text Content Control Boxes.  I cannot seem to get it to un-bold.  I have tried changing it in Design Mode, not in Design Mode, deleting it and starting over - and I just cannot seem to make it work.

Any suggestions??

Thanks.

How can we keep document property fields from changing to Korean when opening an English Word document

Posted: 05 May 2014 07:55 AM PDT

Hi, we have a document template created in US English that uses US English document property fields. When a Korean user opens the document, the fields switch from US English document properties to the Korean versions of the document properties. This causes the field codes to display errors.

We have followed the instructions in this article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/enable-the-use-of-other-languages-in-your-office-programs-HA010354783.aspx

We have also reattached the original English US Word document to the file and tried replacing the Normal.dot on the Korean team's machine with an English Normal.dot.

Can you think of anything else we may be overlooking?

How can I change the behaviour of mouse text selection in Word2013

Posted: 05 May 2014 07:09 AM PDT

Hi All, I'm a new Word 2013 user. Previously used Word 2007. When I try to select (mouse rbutton pressed + mouse movement) portions of text, I am no able to select parts of a word, the selection always snaps by default to the whole word. Example: in "The quick brown fox" I'd like to able to select "The quick br" but word always snaps to "The quick brown". How can I change this behavior of the selection? Word2007 did not behave like this. Thanks. Stef.

2013 word merge won't work

Posted: 05 May 2014 06:57 AM PDT

For years, I have prepared reports by merging a word template document with an excel spreadsheet, where the variables are entered on excel.

Recently, I started using Office 365 and so automatically upgraded to Word 3013. Now the process for merging doesn't work. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

These are the steps that used to work.

  1.        Open word template
  2.        Go to mailings and select recipients
  3.        Choose existing list and find the correct spreadsheet
  4.        Double click spreadsheet name to get "open data source" box
  5.        Choose MS excel worksheets via DDE
  6.       Select all
  7.        Preview results, and voila! the report would be populated with data

Also, during this process, the excel spreadsheet I choose opens on screen so I can change data entries, etc.

Now at step 5 after clicking MS excel worksheets via DDE, I get an error message saying "word could not re-establish a DDE connection to MS excel to complete the current task.

In addition, the excel spreadsheet does not open.

The error message has a 'show help' button which refers me to the MS Knowledge Base Article 918594. I took the steps I thought were appropriate but still no results.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Spinning corsor

Posted: 05 May 2014 05:44 AM PDT

Hi

It's a "spinning cursor" problem but slightly different from those raised by others and probably something really simple.

Timing of it may be just coincidence but it may be, as usual, that messing around with the Screen Resolution and Icon Size options confused it.

 I dunno, but the coincidence is odd.   What happens is specifically that the cursor jams for a few seconds before working as normal, as if it needs to correlate with the page every time afresh.   What I mean by "jams" is that it moves around the page but eg I can't close the page.  I activate the cursor by clicking on the page whereupon the "spinning disc" routine occurs for a few seconds and the whole page fades a bit for a second or two, then it all comes back and works perfectly well without any more glitsches.

It's as if the mouse is working out what the screen resolution is, or something.


It's a good wireless mouse, not too old.  

I tried unplugging the little USB connector which picks up the signal and delivers it to the computer.  Obviously to no avail.

I read the other threads.  If necessary, I could try booting up in safe mode but that seems excessive for such a simple thing.

I followed the other link kindly given by Hannah.   It seemed to return me to such a general Help page, I read that page top to bottom but nothing did I see related to spinning discs or any other obvious next steps.

Any ideas ?  Thanks.

I'm using Office 2013.  When in Word, and I click on Mailings, I then click on Envelope to print an envelope, but I get a "Windows is not responding" message.  I can print other Word documents no matter what font is used.  I'm using an HP Photosmart C4180 All-in one printer.

Any suggestion??

Word Randomly Deleting Spaces Between Words - What is the root cause?

Posted: 05 May 2014 12:33 AM PDT

Problem: Spaces randomly deleted between words.  For example:  This is a sentencewith an example of the error.

Scale:  7 of 14 students (50%) which strongly suggest a non-student specific causation. 

Prevalence: As much as 8 occurrences within two (double spaced) pages.

Factors:

 

  • Original Creation of Documents:  2010 Word for Windows (Professional Plus) & 2011 Word for Macintosh*1
  • Documents reviewed with 2011 Word for Macintosh (possibly edited/resaved as well).
  • Documents submitted to instructor and reviewed for accuracy on 2010 Word for Windows (Enterprise Edition).
  • Random missing spaces between words was observed in the digital version at the destination computer (instructors computer) using 2010 Word Enterprise Edition.

*1 - The documents were almost evenly created between Windows and Macintosh platforms between the 7 students that experienced the anomaly, yet, the anomaly WAS NOT present when the students submitted originally.  In other words, students used both platforms and the anomaly did not exist at the time all the papers were digitally submitted to the instructor.

Factors not contributing:  To be clear, this issue has nothing to do with printers or drivers, this issue is strictly relating to Microsoft Word as the anomaly was observed in the digital version of the files.

Potential contributing factors:  Documents were emailed to Gmail account, reviewed to ensure no data corruption using 2011 Word for Macintosh then they were copied to an external hard drive.  The hard drive was then plugged into a Windows platform and reviewed by the instructor, at which time the anomaly was present.

Root Cause: ???

V/R,

James

trasferring autocorrects to a new computer

Posted: 04 May 2014 06:03 PM PDT

I have a large file of autocorrects that I constantly use on my laptop in Word 2010.  They are stored under /appdata/roaming/microsoft/office as .acl files and I have transferred them to new computers previously without too many problems.  I have a new notebook using office 365.  Where do I transfer the .acl files to?  There is no appdata folder. 

Auto Correct settings lost after restart in Office 2013

Posted: 04 May 2014 06:01 PM PDT

Since Office 2007, when I set Auto Correct options to false (do not change my text as I'm writing, do not correct two capitals, etc) and I click OK, these settings only apply until I restart my computer. After a restart, everything is back to default again and Office is happily changing my words to a nonsense and I have to set the auto correct options again. 

How do I resolve this error?
