Word won't load Apps

Posted: 03 May 2014 02:45 PM PDT

I'm trying to purchase a template from those available when you start up Word.

When I do, a dialogue box appears stating

"sorry, we couldn't load the app because your browser version is not supported. Click here for a list of supported Browsers versions"

I've ran through my main three browsers(Firefox, IE and Chrome) all are up to date, but when I try with each, the same dialogue box come up.

Can't Open Word docs.

Posted: 03 May 2014 01:40 PM PDT

Since yesterday I've been unable to open any Word or Excel docs on my PC. When I try to open one I get this message: 'We're sorry, but Word (or Excel) has run into an error that's preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now? (in a box it says...) Repair Now, Help & Close'

I've run a virus scan with Avast and everything checks out...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Unique Office Problem... Every other time I reboot... "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment."

Posted: 03 May 2014 01:24 PM PDT

Hey,

For the life of me I cannot figure this problem out.

I have tried many things, looking at the registry editor making sure things are OK under Shell Folders. And looking in the internet explorer and making sure the "temp internet files" was set to the right directory or whatever. I also tried to re install office, repair off, re install office configuration.

Every other time I reboot, ""Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment." Sometimes it happens concomitantly with excel, sometimes not...

Obviously its preventing me from saving files.

 

I just can't seem to fix this.,,, please help.

Font changed

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:49 PM PDT

I have a very long document.  I have a font called Mary Jane Small Caps.  About 3 months ago a transferred the document, in compatibility mode, to a Surface running Windows RT 8.1 and Word 2013.  I worked on the document in that environment until recently.  I have now put the document back on my Windows 7 computer, still compatibility mode.  The places where I used the Mary Jane Small Caps are now in some other font which is NOT small caps, even though a check of the properties says the font is Mary Jane Small Caps.  What happened and how do I fix the issue?

Table of Contents and Formatting

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:48 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm working on a 200+ page document on Word 2010. I need to insert a table of contents (TOC) for the document; however, the TOC needs to have different margins than the actual report. It needs to look like this:

1.0       TITLE TITLE

           1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE

                       1.1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE

                                    1.1.1.1         TITLE TITLEITLE

But the document itself needs to look like this:

1.0 TITLE TITLE

1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1.1 TITLE TITLE

I'm having trouble having the TOC and document titles mismatch in formatting. In other words, if I bold or move the headings in the documents then TOC changes to match what I have in the document which is what I don't want. Also, once I insert the TOC and start working on the document I don't know how to add an additional subheading to the TOC, i.e. in the example above I wouldn't know how to add 1.1.1.1.1 once I've created the TOC.

I don't know if it matters, to insert a TOC, I usually type out all the chapter and subchapter names, click on styles, and then insert the TOC.

I appreciate all the help, my job depends on this!!

      

How to install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Hello,

How do you install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use? I don't have internet at home and need to use a dictionary. I seem to remember that Word 2003 used to have a dictionary you could use even if you were not connected to the internet. I'm able to use the thesaurus on Word 2010 at home. 

Can someone help?

Thank you.

How can I find Bold next to Italic, or other format combinations?

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:46 AM PDT

I know how to perform search and replace for basic formatting situations.

And I know that we can use wildcards to format (replace) text, using something such as this:

\1 ((bold))

... but how can I find combinations of formatting, such as bold text next to italic text, or normal text next to bold text.

For example, I would like to turn this:

this is some text that is not bolded. But this is

some text that is bolded.

... into this:

this is some text that is not bolded. 

But this is

some text that is bolded.

I was hoping the wildcard strings would be something like this:

FIND: (*)((normal))(*)((bold))

REPLACE: \1^13\2

... but the things I have tried don't work and I cannot find documentation regarding format-codes.

Thanks,

Joe

Why is it that MS has changed this feature? Capture an address and then use it and you loose the who document. BAD FEATURE. What's the fix?

Lost an important document! Reverted to old version, how do i find it?

Posted: 03 May 2014 07:05 AM PDT

I've been working on a document for the last month, and yesterday I got a lot done, constantly saving every few minutes. Today, I went back to the document and all was fine and then my laptop crashed, but I managed to get onto word, save it and then restarted my computer. When I've gone back to the document it has reverted to a version from 4 weeks ago, and I can't find any trace of the newer version. I have tried everything- searching in all files, searching for temp files/asd files, it is not in the autosaved/unsaved file and I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help? Any suggestions?

How very bothering to create/modify a table style! Word all ver.

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:53 AM PDT

As to (text) Styles you can always select the modified text then update the style you want to match it, whereas to my disappointment, you can't do the same with table styles! and if it's not because it's way too all-consuming to either create or modify a table style(to which point I can't even set it well in the diagbox, my table style is too complicated btw) I wouldn't complain about this. Why can't I simply update a certain table style to match it? If I can't, why can't I draw the table style out in the diagbox?????????? I need EFFICIENCY and EASY USAGE!!

Cleaning up the header menu in Word 2013

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:18 AM PDT

I am new to Word 2013, migrating from 2003 recently. In the Header "ribbon" I have all these symbols with text, but it's cluttered and wide, like its two rows thick, where my old word it was narrow across top.  The new word header takes up a little more than twice the space as my old word header and its busier with all the stuff. If I remove one of the commands, It just leaves empty white space up there on the top right - wasted and empty. How can I collapse the commands so they are just the ones I want and run along a single row like the old word, which was cleaner and less crowded? Is that possible?

how to delete a new unsaved document without closing Word 2013?

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:12 AM PDT

I recently migrated to 2013 Word. In my previous version, if I opened Word and started a document but hadn't saved it and wanted to create a new one and delete the first one, I just go up to a small x below the main X for getting out of Word and it would ask me if I want to Save, Don't Save or Cancel. I click don't save and it deletes it, leaving Word open to open or create a new document. I see no small x anymore. Is that not available in this latest version? How do I delete it - the document that has never been saved -  without closing Word?

Non U.S-based English Language Preferences

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:26 PM PDT

Why does Microsoft continue to show a complete and utter lack of respect to English speakers who do not reside in the U.S?

If you count the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and other former and current members of the British commonwealth then there are approximately 200 million speakers who are being treated as second-class citizens and having the proliferation of U.S English thrust upon them with a lack of true localised language and display packs. 

Here are some suggestions:

- How about giving us the right to choose our language rather than out of the box U.S English?

- I expect my localised dictionary to show the U.S spelling as incorrect, suggesting I use an exceptions list to achieve this is unacceptable. The non-US dictionaries accept both U.S and U.K words while the U.S dictionary accepts only U.S words, irony?

- Fix the language settings in MS Office which are messy and often ignore the PC's regional settings.

- Educate partners on the importance of setting correct regional preferences on new PC's and servers.


There is no excuse Microsoft. You operate in global markets and should cater to the local tastes and preferences, particularly in highly profitable markets. Google has recognised this - why not Microsoft?

Language problem in word 2010 and Win 8.1

Recover Lost Word Document

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT

Hi there.
I have been working on an essay for a few months now, and made great headway yesterday. I made sure to save the document several times as I knew my computer would need to restart and do updates. I save the document again, and later on that night restarted my computer to do it's updates. Now I can only find a version of my essay from 2 months ago which is missing 70% of the information, and I have tried all the possible ways to recover it.
I've searched for it as a backup file, a ~ file, .tmp file, under different names, through autorecovery and still no luck.
I'm horribly desperate. Has anyone had this problem?

Office 2013 won't open files

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:05 PM PDT

When I double click to open a file (either Word, Excel, or PPT), the program itself launches but it never opens the content of my file. The program opens to just a blank window with all toolbar and everything visible, it even says "READY" in the bottom left corner. 

Any solutions to this problem?
