Microsoft Word - Word document heading. Can you change the format in the middle of a document?

Word document heading. Can you change the format in the middle of a document?

Posted: 09 May 2014 03:39 PM PDT

Hello,

I posted this for Office Word 2010 but I use everything from 2007 to 2013 depending on what computer I have available.

I am in the process of creating a document that has multiple chapters and appendices. As commonly done when formatting I would like to number the chapters, but use alphabets for the appendix. Ideally it would look something like this.

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

...

Chapter #

Appendix A

Appendix B

Appendix C

The main reason I would like to do this is to have a table of contents that would auto-update, and be able to automatically number figures or tables in the document. This would hopefully look something like this.

Table 1.1 ... Table 1.#

Table 2.1 ... Table 2.#

Table A.1 ... Table A.#

Table B.1 ... Table B.#

Is it possible to change the numbering format like this? I have tried using a different heading, but then the numbering becomes weird because it looks like it needs to be uniform throughout the document. (Table heading1.#)

If anybody has some experience or advice on how to do this it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Problem with G Mayor "SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn" macro

Posted: 09 May 2014 03:02 PM PDT

I have been looking for ways to save a word document in multiple locations and have found the "SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn" by GMayor. I have the macro installed but everytime I try to run it, I get a "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings."

I have tried the following:

- Re-installing the macro

- Choosing "Allow all macros" option

- Made the Microsoft/Word/StartUp folder location as a "trusted location" under trust centre

- Checked that the macro has loaded in "Templates and Add-ins"

I am not sure what else I can do to make this run. I am using Word 2013 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Thanks.

Citations not found in footnotes

Posted: 09 May 2014 12:04 PM PDT

When generating a Table of Authorities, the cases/rules/statutes that are in footnotes are not listed in the TA.  Also, after printing the document, "Error!  Bookmark not defined" shows up whereever a citation was marked.  I looked at the discussion board and they suggested a hotfix, but the hotfix was for Word 2007 and not 2010.  Also, it stated a different issue within the footnote (long citations were changed to short citations).   Please advise.

Word 365 crashes every time Spell Check is open and Find and Replace is opened

Posted: 09 May 2014 11:38 AM PDT

This is a repeatable error, and occurs every time.

  1. Open Word document
  2. Start Spell Check
  3. Find a word or phrase which needs replacing several times and where Find and Replace is necessary
  4. Open Find and Replace (leave Spell Check open)
  5. Enter details into Find and Replace and start running (eg replace all)
  6. Word crashes - every time.

I now try to remember to close Spell Check before Using Fins and Replace, but occasionally I forget, and Word crashes.

Word 2013 Spell Check objects to date abbreviation (eg 13th)

Posted: 09 May 2014 11:25 AM PDT

I have just come across an unusual situation while Editing a story.

Word Spell Check stopped at  the abbreviation after the date (number), and flagged it as an error - "then speak your answer. I and the 13th circle will arrive tomorrow "

I'm not aware of changing anything to tell Word to pick this up. In fact, apart from adding some dictionaries, I haven't made any changes to the standard proofing settings.

In the following example, I typed it in myself and Word accepted it as correct. (Mine is the first 13th... The problem, seems to be the formatting of the "th".

I checked the formatting (see screenshots below), and it is indeed a little unusual and perhaps not surprising that Word picked it up. I would suggest, however, that this formatting can't be all that unusual (story copied from the internet) and that perhaps Word should recognize it for what it was attempting to do.

 

Aside: What do the experts prefer we use, Office 2013 or Office 365?

Watermark compatibility

Posted: 09 May 2014 10:13 AM PDT

Hello folks,

I am currently making myself a new Microsoft Word template, containing the special symbol called a weierstrass p. It looks like ℘ and its Unicode code point is U+2118. However, I recently installed a version of Droid Sans Fallback, which has a nicer looking version of the symbol. The problem is though, it would not be displayed when a file with it is passed over to another computer.

My question is, how I best could make it compatible?

why no KEEP WITH PREVIOUS??

Posted: 09 May 2014 09:53 AM PDT

is there a way to keep captions with their figures???

as to a table you can actualize that by setting "keep with next" in para box

whereas there's no "keep with previous" to stick to figures

and again it's way too bothering to set tables for those pics&caps, can I just get an alternative here for "keep with previous" contrary to "break page before"???

Arial Bold woes

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:47 AM PDT

Hi there,

If I format text with "Arial", applpy "Bold" and then modify other font attributes of this text, the system often switches the font from "Arial" formatted as bold to "Arial Bold" still formatted as bold.  This happens, when, for instance, I change the character spacing to "Condensed 0.2 points" (or any other value). However, If I use "Arial (Body CS)" and perform the same steps, "Arial Bold" does not appear.

The problem is that later on, all those instances of "Arial Bold" actually lose the Bold formatting or the text is suddenly formatted with "Times Roman" as if the system could not find "Arial Bold" and replaces it with Times. And since I work with documents that are old and that have been formatted by countless people over the years, the "Arial Bold" issue is always creating havoc, especially when I generate PDF files as I must and then later find out that Times Roman is all over the place where it should not.

Can I prevent "Arial Bold" (as a font name) from appearing at all, or else how can I get it to behave?

Thanks.

Can't print in colour!

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:46 AM PDT

I've just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and although I can print in colour from the internet, I can't print in colour from Word 2013 and it's driving me crazy! I've checked the printer properties and it's set to print in colour, my grayscale is off, test pages print in colour, I've been in and out of Printer Properties and just can't see where it needs to be adjusted! Please help before I have a breakdown or take a hammer to it.

Password Protected Word Document

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:45 AM PDT

I password protected a word document then used the quickaccess toolbar to email.  The email recipient was able to open the word attachment without the password.  I use the quickaccess toolbar to email all the time and have never had this issue. If I use "attach" in the email it requires the password to open.  How do I correct?

When a complete table splitted into pages...How can I???

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:44 AM PDT

ban word from splitting it in the first place..

then if the table is too long to hold within one page, how can I ban word from applying the style again?????

my table style is like this to be exact

now the quest is, when the table has to cross this page, there should be if you try, at least 4 bold lines in total as word reapply the style, but all I need is only 2, one bold at the very top, and the other at the very bottom. Now what should I do to get it right???

let me expand this further,

let's say the table is splitted inevitably,  how can I get word to add text AUTOMATICALLY, such as "Continued from Table x"at the top left of the rest of the table in the new page and if when this table is adjusted to display within a page, the auto-text disappear AUTOMATICALLY????

any solution regarding this is hugely appreciated!!

File Locked for Editing by another user

Posted: 09 May 2014 07:50 AM PDT

I am the only person who uses Office Word in this household, and on this laptop.  I have been trying to open a document and am getting the message "file locked for editing by another user".  How can this be when nobody else uses Office here??

Please help me to resolve this as I really need to edit this file.  It's also kind of scary thinking that someone else could possibly have access to this password protected file!!

How do I switch off the preview screen in Word?

Posted: 09 May 2014 06:16 AM PDT

When I open a Word document i get the content of the document in a preview screen. After a while the Close button in the top right hand corner becomes active and I can open the document. Is there any way I can bypass this screen as on a number of occasions Word has frozen when I get to this point and I have to restart the program. I want to see the document in Word as soon as I open it.

Thanks

Macros and saving the document

Posted: 09 May 2014 06:01 AM PDT

Hello 

There might be a quick answer for this but can't seem to find the answer im looking for on the internet.  

Is there anyway i can save my word document which have macros in it as .docx and still have working macros? Can you somehow embed them into the word document so you can still use them? 

My problem is that i need to compare the document in Workshare and it can't compare .docm files in fast mode when it is a .docm document. 

Hope it makes sense. 

Kind regards

Why 'print forms data' print pictures for DOCX files

Posted: 09 May 2014 05:45 AM PDT

Hello all

   I have a DOC file with some picture and text in it, I make some settings in doc file, I tick 'Print only data from a form'  to print only form data, when I take print of Doc file it wont print picture or text (Which is right and expected output)

But if I save same file with DOCX extension and try to print document then it prints pictures (Basically it should show same behavior as DOC file and should not print any thing, just a blank image)

Why this happens for DOCX ? is there any setting for DOCX file ? Please help ?

Thanks in advanced

word 2013 stops when selecting excel for mail merge

Posted: 09 May 2014 02:54 AM PDT

Migrated to Windows 8 and Word/Excel 2013 but this issue also applies to any new word/excel documents created in 2013.

When I perform a mail merge in word and try to use an existing list (excel file) word stops working and aborts.

I have searched many threads and did the suggestion to select in Options/Advanced/General -> "confirm file format coversion on open" and have tried the two formats of excel in the pop-up but it has not worked. I have also tried with the excel sheet open and closed.

Any suggestions anyone please.

When combining two documents, all changes show up as deletions

Posted: 09 May 2014 01:21 AM PDT

I have two documents, the original one and the revised one (mainly with additional text). When I combine the two, the different parts show up as deletions no matter what I do!

I changed the order of the documents and still everything shows up as deletions! What is going on?

P.S. I have Word 2013.

AutoComplete for AutoText restored in Word 2013

Posted: 08 May 2014 10:26 PM PDT

I just was delighted to discover that in Word 2013 the tooltips and AutoComplete work with AutoText as they did in Word 2003.

I discovered this when working on an Add-In Supplemental Building Blocks for Headers and Footers . In Word 2013 when I had the template open on the screen and started typing the name of one of the AutoText Entries a tooltip would pop up prompting for Enter. I thought "How cool! That looks familiar!" When I checked, I got the same behavior when the template was loaded as an Add-In rather than the active document. A reason that Word 2013 is an improvement over 2010, even though I hate how it looks.

The Add-In has FileName, FileNamePath, and a number of Page Number field variations as AutoText as well as some supplemental headers and footer building blocks that use these fields.

I expect that this is also true with Word 365 but don't have that version. I will test to see if this is also true of AutoText loaded through the Building Blocks folders.

Problem with automatic numbering

Posted: 08 May 2014 06:02 PM PDT

I was having a problem with automatic numbering in Word 10, so turned it off through file-options-proofing. In hindsight, I think this document was corrupt. I am now working on a new document and despite turning autocorrect back on, it is not working. I have restarted Word, but that hasn't done anything. Specifically the autocorrect on spelling isn't working, but more annoyingly the automatic numbering doesn't work. When I am typing a numbered list and press return, it resorts to the normal format. That is it loses the number, the indentation and even the font. My solution is to use format painter to copy the previous style, but this is time consuming in the document that I am writing which is a contract requiring pages of specific numbering and formatting. Any ideas?

Page numbering is correct when in normal and print preview but prints differently

Posted: 08 May 2014 05:33 PM PDT

Hi,

I have suddenly started finding an issue that when i am working in a document and show the print preview, the page numbers are correct, but when i print the document they print differently. 

For example, i have a 10 page document. This document has a title page, approval page and various sections with page breaks, etc.

When i am working in the document the page numbers show correctly (page 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.) but when i print the document it prints either page 1 of 2, 2 of 2 then 3 of 3, 4 of 4, etc. up to 10 or just page 1 of 1, 2 of 2, etc. right from the beginning.

Any explanation as to why this is happening and how to solve it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
