| When I open a document in Word 2003 it doens't go to it. I have to Alt_Tab to Word to see it. Posted: 07 May 2014 01:44 PM PDT This doesn't seem correct or maybe its a setting I changed. When I open a document with Word I expect to see it opened for me. Doing this 500 times a day is a little tedious. :) |
| Downloaded, installed and paid $148 bucks for Microsoft 2013 NO ICONS Posted: 07 May 2014 12:56 PM PDT Downloaded and installed Microsoft 2013. It is present in the programs in Control Panel, but I cannot find any ICONS or any way to use the programs. Start to programs- NOT there Please help me. |
| Help!!!!!! Word crashed deleted all my work Posted: 07 May 2014 12:01 PM PDT Hi Everyone in need of help big time , basically been doing coursework than my word crashed and closed. I reopened the document hoping for a recovery option but there wasnt one , to make matters work my entire 5000 word essay has vanished there is literally nothing on the document. I did however back my work up on a hard drive so a separate document saved the say before about half the work was on that, but i was shocked as that has nothing on it as well ! literally it crashed and has deleted all my work from 3 separate documents, im realy stuck with how this has happened. Any help would be great |

| All Office Apps Work Except Word 2013 Posted: 07 May 2014 11:06 AM PDT It has been months since I have able to properly use MS Word 2013 on my home computer. I purchased Office Home & Student 2013 in January, and have been having problems with Word since February. I have repaired (the quick and the long repair), uninstalled and reinstalled Office, checked for Add-Ons (there are none, disabled or otherwise), checked the box next to "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" under Options-->Advanced, tried to reset my computer to a earlier version, installed all available updates, etc. NOTHING works. The other applications open immediately, but Word does not open fully. The application shows on the bar at the base of my computer screen, but does not open fully. The application functions (fully opens) in Safe mode (which is how I checked for add-ons) but the window refuses to open fully when I attempt to start Word normally. No error messages appear. I have been searching through threads for months. Unless someone has a fix that WORKS, I am going to have to demand my money back from Microsoft. I bought Office 2013 SPECIFICALLY because Word is an application I use daily. To not have had access to it all this time on my home computer has been beyond ridiculous. What's even more frustrating is that I never had these problems with Windows 7. It just seems to be the "joy" of Windows 8 and Office 2013 that leave me ready to tear my hair out. Solutions BEYOND what I've already tried would be appreciated. |
| Word Doc file size inflated exponentially Posted: 07 May 2014 10:56 AM PDT Hi all, A few of my colleagues have been working on a Word Doc file over the past month. A few weeks ago, the file size inflated exponentially; there was limited content added to the file before this occurred. I have no real insight as to why this happened. We tried several things to shrink the file size, but nothing seems to work effectively enough. I think the problem may have something to do with the way the file is being saved, a corrupted picture or chart, or because it has been worked on in both Word 2007 and Word 2013 and emailed back and forth between internal and external contacts. I have "checked for issues" in Word 2013, but have little luck identifying the problem(s). The file has retained the same "doc" file extension. The enormous file size has made editing the document cumbersome because we are unable to email it to some folks, particularly those with .gov email domains. Thoughts? RR |
| Posted: 07 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT Hi Guys I inherited a PC and I'm running Office Pro 2013. For some reason when I open Word from the list of templates, the "Blank Document" Template's format is all over the place. I thought I'd just save a new "blank" .dotx template but I cannot seem to overwrite the template that appears in the list. Can anyone tell me how I either overwrite that template or replace it in the list of templates? |
| Posted: 07 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT I have a document that I need to add Greek letters to. Like the Greek letter for alpha. Does this font come preinstalled in Word 2013? If so, how do I switch to it. If not can you tell me what I need to do to get the Greek alphabet in Word. I am a basic Word user, nothing real fancy. |
| Posted: 07 May 2014 10:13 AM PDT I've set up a customized table in Word 2010 with a specific font and text centered horizontally and vertically. When I copy cells from an Excel table and paste them into the word table, my table formatting is lost even when I choose Keep Text Only. These are the steps I've tried to address this:
Do you have any additional ideas I can try? |
| Change the background color of a single page? Posted: 07 May 2014 09:13 AM PDT Hi all, Is it possible to change the background colour of a single page within Microsoft Word 2010? I have a document which requires the final/back page to be a different color from the rest of the document. I have tried using section breaks, but this has no effect and changes the background color of the entire document. As an alternative, I could just create a shape/text box, color it and then drag it to fit the final page, but this isn't an ideal solution. Many thanks, Kyle |
| Posted: 07 May 2014 08:28 AM PDT I am having a problem with references in Office 365. Some of my references are coming out as follows: (Baumrind D. , Current patterns of parental authority., 1971) Note that the title is in the middle of the citation. On the preview area in Source Manager, the citation looks fine in the Master List but when inserted into a document, it has the problem shown above. I also noticed that the list for the current document has the citation error even though it was copied from the Master List. It seems to work properly until you add citations to the Master List of the same author with a different date. For example, (Baumrind, 1967) works great until you add (Baumrind, 1971). I discovered this when I inserted (Creswell, 2009). With one entry of the author Creswell, the citation was fine. When I entered (Creswell, 2012), I had the same error: a title in the middle of the citation I know that you can fix the citation by clicking on the citation, choosing edit citation from the dialog box, and then checking the suppress title option. What I don't understand is why some citations are as they should be (Author, Date) and others are not. I have compared the fields on citations that are correct with citations that are not, and I just cannot find a problem with my data entry. Any suggestions on a fix would be most appreciated.

| Macro to find whether a named style is used on the current page Posted: 07 May 2014 07:08 AM PDT Trying to write a macro for Word 2010 that will detect whether a specific style (called "Heading 1,UM H1") is used for any of the text on the current page.

| Word 2013 Consistently and Randomly Crashing Posted: 07 May 2014 06:33 AM PDT Good day everybody
I sincerely hope that someone here can advise me how to get rid of this extremely annoying error which has totally incapacitated Word 2013 on my PC for months on end. I am yet to find a permanent solution, though scouring the Internet. Those solutions that I did find during these searches, failed to return the desired results.
In short, the error boils down to this: I would be typing away merrily, and the next thing I know am presented with the familiar "Microsoft Word has stopped working" error flag, offering the choice to either look online for a solution, or close the program. Shortly before posting this message, I typed a letter in another application, the text of which I copied and then pasted into a Word document, but Word summarily crashed. This is the applicable error message for it:
Problem signature:
If my memory serves me correctly, the foregoing is exactly the same error message I have seen during previous Word-crashes. Thank you sincerely for any assistance you are able to give.

| Spell Check suggests American spelling in UK English document Posted: 07 May 2014 04:29 AM PDT In this example, the document is UK English but Word flags a UK English word as being in error, and recommends the American spelling. Louvre is correct for UK English, whereas louver is the correct American spelling. |
| Why does Word (Office 365) on iPad not have an option to save documents locally? Posted: 07 May 2014 03:53 AM PDT I was one of those people who was really excited when Word became available on the iPad, but have since become rather disappointed at the many missing features. for example, there are many reasons why one may need to work offline, the most common being lack of internet access which is still rather variable in availability. Unfortunately, with Word on an iPad, you can't. I am going to be taking minutes at a meeting tomorrow and will have to use another app because Word won't allow me to use a pre-prepared document (eg with names of previous attendees, document heading, etc). Other writing apps on the iPad can do this (Pages, iA Writer, Swiftkey, Penultimate, and more), so why can't Word? |
| Is there any way to replace single quote marks with double quote marks? Posted: 07 May 2014 03:37 AM PDT I have a document I am editing which uses single quotation marks and I want to replace them with double quotation marks. Speech marks if you will. There is some discussion on other forums about this, but no apparent straightforward way to do this, without several slow, painstaking Find and Replace steps. Here is an example which illustrates one of the problems with a simple Find and Replace, as the apostrophe would also get changed. 'Better eat up,' he said quietly, 'we've got a lot to talk about.'
needs to be: "Better eat up," he said quietly, "we've got a lot to talk about." Any ideas? Is there some Woerd functionality to deal with this? After all, Word does understand straight quotes and curly quotes... |
| This item might not exist or is no longer available Posted: 07 May 2014 03:01 AM PDT I have 3 recent documents listed on Microsoft Work 365 that are no longer on one drive yet they are still listed in recent documents. I have found no way to clear them from this list and would like to as they are cluttering up my recent files list - especially on my phone. Anyway they can be removed? Thanks |
| Word 2010: Displaying page number of next instance of text in a specific style Posted: 07 May 2014 03:00 AM PDT In Word 2010 what's the best way to find the next instance of text using a specific style and display the page number it is on? The field code STYLEREF will find the text but I can't see how to determine which page it is on. The field code PAGEREF will display page numbers but it needs a bookmark to work from. Is there a way to translate styles into bookmarks? The style I'm searching for is part of a structure of numbered headings and I know that Word inserts hidden bookmarks for numbered items, so is that something I can make use of? The reason for this question is that I need to suppress running headers on the first page of every chapter of a document. I cannot simply use the Different First Page option for headers because there are many section breaks in this document inserted for reasons other than starting a new chapter (e.g. changing number of columns part way through a chapter or changing the widths of columns part way through a chapter), and I cannot delete them without messing up other aspects of the document. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Bruce Officer |
| Word 2010 - Missing "Action Buttons" shapes Posted: 07 May 2014 01:53 AM PDT Word 2007 had an "Action Buttons" shapes category, - see screen shot below. However this seems to have disappeared from Word 2010 (and the other Office programs as well) Has anyone an idea why or whether there I can find an effective replacement for these in Word 2010?? Thanks and best regards Gary

| Not able to hide built in styles in Word Posted: 07 May 2014 12:41 AM PDT Hi Experts I have create a template in Word 2007 setting up my own styles and adjusting some of the built in styles. That part works as intended. However it seems that I am not able to hide/get rid of the built in "insert table" styles in my template, e.g. Table Grid, Light Shading, Light List etc. If I go to Manage Styles and select the Recommend tab the buttons for changing priority and visibilty are all greyed out. How do I then get the styles out of my template so they do not appear in the Apply Style dialog? I can of course rename the template to .zip and remove the styles from the Styles.xml file - but I am not really sure what might be affected by this. |
| Posted: 06 May 2014 11:11 PM PDT I have got some big documents that I wrote rather amateurishly. I have put in page numbers,headers etc. Now I have to put in tables of contents on each section but the headers and page no shouldn't be there-something like a sectional cover page-can it be done? |

| Help - Headings picking up Word default lists! Posted: 06 May 2014 09:35 PM PDT I create templates in all versions of Word. For some reason when some templates are used the inbuilt Heading styles (which have no numbering) pick up one of the default Word list styles, such as 'Article' or the '1.'. This has now happened on three of my sites in the last week, all using different .doc/.docx's and Word 2010 - Word 2013. I don't think it is the users saving the templates or auto update or anything like that, I've been working in styles for 7 years and haven't seen this before. Has anyone else found this?!?! What is causing it?!?! |
| Word - Shortcut to automatically Insert "A" Field Posted: 06 May 2014 09:15 PM PDT Hi All, I am trying to create a template for my users to use with per-populated fields from SharePoint. This is not the problem... What I would like to do, is have a shortcut (or icon/menu/whatever) to insert a certain field instead of the user having to every time go to Insert -> Quick Parts -> etc. I tried to record a macro of this, but the macro came up empty :( ... not sure if there is a command/VBA script/way to get this to be automated. I have only been able to insert document fields .. but not sharepoint fields :( using the below code, which doesn't help, because it means I have to update the CustomerName field in Word with the one in SharePoint everytime I open the doco, and also if someone changes the Name in Word, I need to be able to reflect this, which gets too complicated... Sub Insert_CustomerName() Thanks

| Word 2013 freezes when trying to use Find & Replace Posted: 06 May 2014 07:00 PM PDT I have Word 2013 with Windows 7, all updated to the latest versions. When using Word it freezes every time I try to use find and replace. I have tried the repair mechanism and it still occurs. I ran it in safe mode and the find and replace worked fine. I have already disabled all of the add-ins and the freezing is still occurring. Can't find anything relating to this particular issue... any suggestions? |
| Posted: 06 May 2014 06:43 PM PDT Is there a way to disable this feature or by adding items to a white list so that they never become disabled? |
| MS Word 2010 (Windows) - Document Personalization Posted: 06 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT I have a long document (around 105 A4 pages) which can be thought of a specification document. Its purpose is to describe all the settings for a customer organization across a number of the systems that we are to configure for them. So it has the 'customer name' throughout as placeholder text. Currently the consultants who use the document do a search-and-replace for every instance of 'customer name' with the actual name when they adapt the document for an actual customer. I would like to automate this step. So I thought about inserting 'client' as a document property field, and then entering the customer name as a Value in the field. That works, but it means the consultants have to know where the Advanced Properties panel is, and how to update the Value field, then Select All and Update Field Entries. In other words, it is no easier that 'search and replace'. So I thought I could write a macro (document already has several) which copies from a source field and automatically replaces every instance of 'customer name' with the real name using Search and Replace. So the consultant could then enter the real customer name in a particular place - say, a table cell in the 'How to Use this Document' page - and then click a button which does a Search and Replace. Is this do-able? How would you tell Word to enter the value in that cell and copy it into the Replace With field in the Advanced Search box? Or is there some other way to do it? Any tips gratefully received. |
| Recently Used Fonts not displaying initially in drop down box Posted: 06 May 2014 03:52 PM PDT Since starting with Office 365, I have noticed that Word, Publisher & OneNote do not display Recently Used Fonts in the drop down box when choosing a font. See image below so you know what I am talking about.
In office 2010, I used to be able to click on font and the recently used fonts was always the first thing displayed and then you could scroll down to choose another font if need be. Now, when clicking on font, I am automatically taken to Calibri and I have to scroll back up to the recently used fonts. It's more annoying and time consuming really, but is anyone else having this issue and found out what to do? I have called tech support and the only answer they had was to change the default font.
When selecting a font I get this above & have to scroll up, ...... I want this. The recently used fonts to be at the top of the font drop down box. |
