Microsoft Word - Stuck in Draft View After Editing on iPad

Microsoft Word - Stuck in Draft View After Editing on iPad

Stuck in Draft View After Editing on iPad

Posted: 13 May 2014 03:16 PM PDT

Hi, I am having trouble viewing a document in the desktop version of Word 2013 after I have edited it on Word on my iPad.  For example, I made a comment in a document on my iPad and saved the document to the cloud, but now when I open the document in the desktop version of Word, the document opens in an unfamiliar view (which after some online research I believe is "Draft View") with a lot of white space and my comment not displayed in a bubble.  I can't seem to get out of "Draft View."  Is this a result of some setting in Word for iPad that I can change?  Am I just missing how to turn off "Draft View" in the desktop version of Word 2013?

Arrange all option in Word 2010 using multiple monitors

Posted: 13 May 2014 02:02 PM PDT

Can anyone  help me?  I am using windows 7 on a laptop with 3 monitors.  Monitor 1 (used as the main monitor) and monitor 3 are in landscape mode and monitor 2 is in portrait mode.  I want to open 2 documents (using word 2010) on monitor 2, which I can do.  Then, I want to use the arrange all option (so they are one on top of the other), but when I click arrange all, it shoots my documents over to monitor #1 (my main).  I need them to stay one on top of each other AND stay on monitor 2.  Any suggestions?  Thank you so much!

Working with gridlines in a template in Word 2010

Posted: 13 May 2014 12:47 PM PDT

I'm working in Word 2010 with a template that will NOT show gridlines no matter how many times I select View > Gridlines.  I've fixed the template once before, so I know there's a way, I've just forgotten what it is.  Can someone help?

Rounding Decimal Up in Microsoft Word Form

Posted: 13 May 2014 12:37 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a form calculation that needs to always round the decimal up to the nearest hundredth (i.e. 0.672 rounds up to 0.68)

I've been using the following equation

=IF(AND(MOD(Wrestle,0.01)<0.005,MOD(Wrestle,0.01)>=0),ROUND(Wrestle,2)+0.01,ROUND(Wrestle,2))

Wrestle = Quoted Price*0.9 / PO Price from customer

Unless asked for otherwise, the standard multiplier is 0.9.  The problem I am having is that it gets rounded to 0.91.

When calculating otherwise, everything else works just fine.

Can you please help!

I have Word 2007 and Windows 7. I am confused by my attempts to download Microsoft document imaging and the responses to this of Comodo security suite and malwarebytes. How can I get it safely?

Blank Word Document

Posted: 13 May 2014 11:52 AM PDT

My daughter saved a book she was writing when she was using the old version of Word. The file title is: The Box 97 - 2003 Version [Compatibiilty Mode]. She now has Word 2007.  The file opens but all the pages are blank.

When the "Show/Hide" button is pressed the entire document shows a lower case y with two dots on the top. I have copied one line of this into this query and it copied over as follows:

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000202 EndHTML:0000020780 StartFragment:0000020740 EndFragment:0000020740 SourceURL:file:///C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\THE%20BOX%20-%20Word%2097-2003%20version.doc

When I tried to save it as a normal Word Windows 7 doc, it still comes up blank.

Your solution to this huge problem would be much appreciated as it would be a very sad day if she has lost the book she was writing.

Many thanks for your help.

Spell Check correctly flags a spelling error, but doesn't suggest the correct spelling even though it knows it

Posted: 13 May 2014 11:34 AM PDT

In the following example, Spell Check correctly flags non sequiter as a spelling error.

Unfortunately, the suggested corrections do not contain the correct spelling which is non sequitur.

The reason I say Spell Check knows the correct spelling, is that once this is changed manually,the red underliing disappears, indicating to me that Spell Check recognises the correct spelling.

The question then is, if Spell Check correctly flags a spelling error, and it knows the correct spelling, why doesn't the correct word spelling appear in the list of suggestions?

Creating a MOP in Word 2010

Posted: 13 May 2014 11:30 AM PDT

I am working on building a MOP/checklist and I would like to build it so when it is first opened you see the steps but each step can be drilled down on to show the actual command and then even drilled down further to see an explanation of why it should be done. 

I have looked at grouping thinking it would work like it does in excel but if it does I dont see how. Also looked at macros but i do not know enough about macros to build one from scratch for this.

Office 365 and HP Printer

Posted: 13 May 2014 10:55 AM PDT

I have a client who is using Office 365 and when he sends a print job to HP 4250, it does not staple the pages. It works on another workstation but not this one, where could I look? The stapler settings are in the printer properties and can be seen, but not utilized.

Downgrade from Office 64 bit to 32 bit

Posted: 13 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a laptop running Windows 8.1 professional, and I'm having a lot of issues with Word, when I tried to save a document it freezes up to 40 minutes trying to save it, I've been told that the Office 64 bit version has a lot of issues so I want to downgrade to the 32 bit version. How do I do this without purchasing another license? Would I loose my data?

Thank you

microsoft word 2013 crashes when opened

Need Ignore All for Grammar in Word 2013 Spell Check

Posted: 13 May 2014 10:12 AM PDT

This is something that has disappeared in Word 2013, the ability to tell Word Spell Check, to ignore all for a Grammatical issue.

For example, when poppy (the flower) is used as a person's name, it becomes Poppy. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell Spell Check that this is known, and for this document at least, is correct.

Adding Poppy to the dictionary would be wrong because other uses, like poppy the flower, wrongly spelt as Poppy, would escape Spell Check's scrutiny.

Here is another example. In the Harry Potter stories, there is frequent reference to Defence Against The Dark Arts, where almost every word is capitalised. Unfortunately, Spell Check objects to this and there is no way to tell it, that this, in this document, is correct.

There are many other examples of this, and once again I am left with the thought that most of the testing for this new version of Spell Check, was done by people creating new documents, and not by editing exisiting documents.

Please, somebody in Microsoft, re-instate 'Ignore All' for Grammatical issues.

Any thoughts on this?

office 2003/office 2007 (compatibility mode), table of figures and captions

Posted: 13 May 2014 09:48 AM PDT

I am working with a Word 2003 document in a Word 2007 environment. The document is in compatibility mode. I have a need

to add figures and update the table of figures. The only way I can get the figure/caption option to work is by creating a new docx (2007) file

and then paste the contents of the 2003 file into this file. This method works but affects the file in terms of font and possibly other ways. Is there

a more efficient and effective way of doing this. Simply saving the doc file as a docx file does not work for me because the caption feature does not work (caption field stays all white/unpopulated).

How to Attach A Left-Hand Text Box Column to the Header

Posted: 13 May 2014 08:36 AM PDT

I have Word 2007.

I have created a document which has a text box column running down the ENTIRE left hand side of the page, with all my business's info in it. I want this column to appear on every single page of the document, just as the header and footer do.

I read somewhere that it was possible to "attach" a text box to the header, but I could never find the instructions to do this.

Currently, I have to draw in the text box manually, and it's a pain as it shifts down every time I add text to a previous page, and I have to manually raise it up again to its previous position.

So, is there a way to make it a "permanent" feature of the page, and if so, how do dodo it?

Thanks.

Any variable in Microsoft Word which could display the first word of the next page?

Posted: 13 May 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Hi all,

Is there any variable in Microsoft Word which could display the first word of the next page, like these:

You may notice that the first word captured reserves the format of that word being used in the next page.

I don't know if the author of this document used any variable to achieve that.  However, as a civil servant, I always have to imitate such format by manually type it at the end of each page in most of the correspondence.  This is annoying when I made a moderate changes in the documents as I have to correct all the captured words.

I have searched the internet however failed to find any solution for it.  Would be grateful if anyone who could shed light on it. Thank you!

Proofing tools will not work, Quick Repair will not work, and Online Repair will work

Posted: 13 May 2014 08:02 AM PDT

Office 2013 installed on a brand new HP Z420 work station. Windows 7 64 bit, 32 GB Ram, Intel Xeon E5-1650.

My proofing tools for Office 2013 do not work (at all). It says that my document is typed in a different language (it's not) I verified to make sure "English" is set to default under all the proofing tool and language options I could find and yet proofing still does not work.

Another post suggested I repair the installation using "Quick Repair" or "Online Repair" neither will work. I get the following errors when trying to run them:

Quick Repair Error:

Online Repair Error:

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thank you.

Format Appearance Issues between Word - Windows vs. Mac

Posted: 13 May 2014 06:31 AM PDT

Bullet point items created in a Windows-based Word document are opened with a different bullet in Word for Mac 11. When I try to modify the style, the bullet points are shown as plain text, not list bullet style. Is there a work around to make the formatting the same for Windows-created docs on a Mac?

Lost all autocorrect entries in Word 2007

Posted: 13 May 2014 06:30 AM PDT

Over the years I have created hundreds of autocorrect entries in Word for efficiency. Such as my business' initials would spell out the full name, or "255b" would spell out the entire address and zip. Or vmph would be my phone, or vmem would be my email. Yesterday, a pop-up said to run Windows Defender. I figured it couldn't hurt. Ever since, my laptop runs slow, and all my autocorrect entries are gone. How can I retrieve all those entries?

Edit Hyperlink Text to Display is "<<Selection in Document>>"

Posted: 13 May 2014 05:26 AM PDT

I have inherited several Word documents from a co-worker, each of which has multiple hypertext links to other documents or Excel spreadsheets.  As I move each of these linked files to a new location, I need to change where the links are pointing.  When I right-click within the hypertext--not selecting it, just right-clicking within it--and select Edit Hyperlink, the Text to Display box is grayed and shows "<<Selection in Document>>."   Again, I'm not selecting the text before right-clicking.  I've searched multiple forums, and the only reference I see to this is when a hyperlink is either assigned to a shape or to text behind a shape.  But this is hyperlinked text, with no shape in sight.  Yes, I can right-click > Remove Hyperlink, select the text, and then right-click > Hyperlink to re-create it, and the <<Selection in Document>> is no longer there.  Or I can delete the text and link altogether and Insert > Hyperlink from the ribbon.  This isn't a problem that's stopping my work or anything; at this point it's just something driving me crazy because I don't know why it's doing it.  Does anyone know why this <<Selection in Document>> seems to be locked into the hypertext properties and how I can get rid of it without having to delete and re-create the link altogether?

"Styles" descriptions

Posted: 13 May 2014 05:06 AM PDT

Hi All.

I work in word 2010 (PC) with a set of company styles that I have to apply to the documents produced.

When I apply a style to a piece of text or sentence then a description of that style appears in blue and 

in brackets.

These descriptions do not appear when I print out the documents but if I convert the word doc

to a PDF then the descriptions are converted too.  Then they ARE printed out.

How do I remove these descriptions?

I know I can do it manually but in a 200 page document it's going to take too much time.

Thanks

Launching Word without Add-Ins Via Command Line

Posted: 13 May 2014 03:20 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm trying to launch Word 2010 without COM Add-Ins (as the WinWord.EXE process was not closing after exiting Word) via a run command using the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" /a

However, on opening Word and browsing to File > Options > Add-Ins, I note that COM Add-Ins are currently loaded and active in Word.

How can I launch Word 2010 via a run command with all COM Add-Ins disabled?

Thanks

Insertion of photos etc. into a restricted Word document

Posted: 13 May 2014 02:54 AM PDT

I have created a word document with restricted areas. The problem I have is that when anyone tries to insert a photo or a Clip Art into an unprotected area it then won't allow them to format the inserted object and throws the whole of the document out of alignment.  How do I format the document to allow free editing of the unprotected areas?  I'm not a computer person as such so the use of codes and such wouldn't mean a lot to me without step by step guides on how to use them.

It also won't allow them to insert a shape such as an arrow or box etc. at all. When you click on insert Shape everything is greyed out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Poor resolution while pasting pdf snapshots in MS Word 2013

Posted: 12 May 2014 06:41 PM PDT

I have noticed that the snapshots taken from pdf files (using adobe reader) appear very blurred when I paste them in MS word 2013. Why is that so?

Using 'paste special' as a bitmap image improves the quality.

Right clicking on the image and selecting 'Edit' also improves the quality, but the position of the image gets changed and it goes to the upper left corner of the page. I suspect that clicking 'Edit' changes the layout/text wrap setting.

I suspected that MS Office is compressing the images and I selected 'Do not compress images in file' in Advanced options. But even this did not help.

Pasting the same snapshot taken using the snipping tool (of windows) produces better image quality. Using other pdf readers also produces better quality. The problem appears to be specific to Adobe.

Any solutions?

    

HYPERLINK Mailto problem with Word Docs

Posted: 12 May 2014 03:07 PM PDT

For some reason, all my hyperlinks in all my word docs have mysteriously changed format. For example an email *** Email address is removed for privacy *** now appears everywhere in my word docs as {HYPERLINK "mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"}. If I remove the hyperlinks individually, that works, but they they're no longer hyperlinks anymore. I want my email addresses to be normal hyperlinks.
