Microsoft Word - Auto Correct in Office 2013 (not language setting issue)

Microsoft Word - Auto Correct in Office 2013 (not language setting issue)

Auto Correct in Office 2013 (not language setting issue)

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 03:59 PM PDT

Recently, AutoCorrect stopped working on my Office 2010.  I thought this a perfect excuse to upgrade to 2013.  Initially, the AutoCorrect worked fine within all apps.  However earlier today it suddenly stopped.  Spell check is still functioning fine, but it no longer automatically corrects as I type.  There are a couple of specific custom entries that I use often in my business.  I have checked the language settings as well as AutoCorrect settings with out luck.

I appreciate any help on this!

How do I print the text of my comments in MS Word 2013?

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 03:52 PM PDT

I am unable to print the detailed text of the comment I have created in MS Word 2013.

I am able to print a page that contains partial markup -- the markup only contains the highlighted text within the paragraph (indicating a comment is attached), which also includes my initials and comment id number.

The text within the comment does not print inline with the text inside the MS Word paragraph.

I need the complete text of my comments to print with the document.

How can I do that?

Thanks

In file with 2 sets of tracked changes merged, insertions show as changes but deletions do not

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 01:48 PM PDT

I am using the "compare' function to merge tracked changes from two files into a single file. Mostly it's working, with all changes merging into a single file, still highlighted as a tracked change with each editor identified. With the exception of deletions.

Deletions are acting like "rejected" changes, or to look at it another way, are as if the deletion was never  made.  Here's a small example--"have provided" edited to "can provide" in the original file. When the changes are merged, the insertion of "can" shows as a tracked change, but the deletions of "have" and the "d" from "provided" do not, the same as if they were never deleted.  So the end result is "have can provided," with the inserted "can" highlighted as an insertion but the deletions have disappeared.  This is happening throughout the file.

Tracked changes show as follows in original file:

have can provided

Shows up after merging changes (but not accepting any yet):

have can provided

How can I make sure deleletions are still marked as changes?

Creating a table that will not move, or resize with restricted content

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 01:22 PM PDT

Hi

I am trying to create an Electives booklet template for admin staff to enter content in.  The table needs to fill an A4 page and be two columns by five rows.  In the first row I want to add a photo to the first cell and text to the second and repeat to the following four rows.

I can create the table and set the size to exactly but if I move the table it ends up on the next page.  How do I stop this?  I want it fixed so it cannot be moved.

I then need to format the first cell of the table so that when a photo is added it will automatically resize to fit.  Is this possible?

In the second cell I need the admin staff to input the course title and description.  Is the best way of doing this to use the Text Form Field in the Developer tab?  When I do this it doesn't seem to wrap the text if it goes over two lines.

I then need to lock the document down so the admin staff can only add photos and text.  Will restrict editing do this?

Thanks for any help!

Regards

Batch Word 2013 templates

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 12:43 PM PDT

I have a batch of Word documents that are based on an old template. I need to update them all and I have found a program that will attach the template but I can't find a way to set all documents to automatically update document styles. As a result I have to open each document and attach it to the file. Does anyone have a macro that will push the updated template for me?

Word 2010 : Multiple crashes and I have preformed the repair feature but crashes still reoccur and on an increasing frequency.

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 10:57 AM PDT

I have been experiencing the same problem with Word but I have Office 2010 .

Multiple crashes and I have preformed the repair feature but crashes still reoccur and on an increasing frequency.

This problem seemed to have started after downloading June's Office and Windows updates.

I am running Windows 8.1 Professional 64 bit, on a HP Envy computer with Office Home & Business 2010.

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Standard installed but I didn't have the problem until I installed June's Windows and Office updates.

Remove Custom Template in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 09:48 AM PDT

A while ago I had to complete a worksheet for a class at my school. I saved my answers in my documents folder, but for some reason it decided to save it as a template instead. Now it shows up as a custom template. I have gone to the location of said "template" and deleted the file, but it still shows up on the custom template list. If I click on it, I just get a message saying "template not found". Is there any way to remove it from the list?

how to bring sentences closer together in office 2013

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 08:12 AM PDT

When I copy and paste into Word 2013, I cannot bring my sentences closer together. For instance, let's say I have four sentences. I can put my cursor at the end of sentence number 1 and hit the delete key, which usually will bring the second sentence closer to the first sentence. The problem, it doesn't work at all. Can one instruct me what to do in order for me to get this to work.

Unable to open Word documents created on a Mac

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 07:56 AM PDT

I am unable to open Word documents sent by a college.  When I attempt to open them I get an error message that states "Word experienced an error trying to open the file.  Try these suggestions. *Check the file permissions for the document or drive. *Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space. * Open the file with the Text Recovery converter."

I have cleaned out my temp folders and have plenty of free space and memory.  If I open this file on another computer running Office 2013 and re-save it Word tells me that it will update to the latest format.  After this happens I can open it on my PC fine.

The original file says it was saved using Word 2008 for Mac.  My computer is running Office 2010 on Windows 7.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Table in 2 Column Page Layout Alignment

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 06:55 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a Word Document that I need some help with.

I have uploaded a Dummy File to OneDrive, heres the Link to that File: GAMES with GOLD - Temp.

As you can see in the Document I have set the Page to Landscape and set to 2 Columns.

I will be inserting a new Table each year for both Consoles...

Ie. I will be inserting above "Year 2014: Xbox One" I will insert Table for "Year 2015: Xbox 360" as well as adding after "Year 2015: Xbox One".

I would like the following Format if possible:

This is 1 Table split into both columns, but I would like to have the Titles of the Table to be inline, Level side by side, not as is staggered.

In my Original Document I have 2 Pages above the first Table which is in 1 Column, Portrait Layout, and when I Highlighted the Tables and switch to 2 Column, Landscape has done the layout as I want, but has Multiple "Section Break (Continuous)", which lowers the Tables as if I have "Returns".

Once this has been sorted I wish to apply this to my Original Document.  I want to do the following:

     1. Highlight all the Tables.

     2. Remove all the Page and Column (Section Breaks) from all the Tables.

     3. Place cursor at the Title of the First Table Title.

     4. Set Page to Landscape from "This Point Forward".

     5. Set to 2 Columns with 1cm space between from "This Point Forward".

     6. Set the layout so that the Titles are inline.

I am able to Manually Delete all the "Section Breaks", by going to each one and Deleting it, Then I can place my Cursor at the Title of the First Table and setting the Page to Landscape from "This Point Forward", and setting to 2 Columns in the same way, but then I need to know who to get the layout as required, or unless a temp Macro can be used do to all this.

As I have said all I need is to know how to get the Tables to be in the format I need so the layout is as required.

Thank you in advance,

Neil

Problems with Office products since last BIOS update on Dell XPS running windows 8.1

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 06:43 AM PDT

Hi all--

I haven't posted before because Microsoft Office is working for me, but I keep noticing these little glitches, and they seem to trace back to my last BIOS update on my machine (which actually corrected some overall major problems I was having).

The first glitch, so to speak, is now EVERY time I open Word, I get that little Window that says "To you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"  Usually, this would only come up if I were doing some kind of upgrade, which I'm obviously not.  It's not a big deal--I just click on "yes" and move on--but it's frustrating that I cannot figure out why it is happening EVERY time.

The second glitch came up today, when I was using PowerPoint.  After saving my presentation, I tried using the "export" function for creating handouts in Word.  Unfortunately, I got the error message "PowerPoint can't locate Microsoft Word.  Make sure that Microsoft Word is properly installed on your computer."  I tried making sure that Word was actually open, but this didn't make a difference.

I'm not sure how to proceed next.  The version of Office I have is Professional Plus 2013.  Any thoughts?

I keep receiving this pop up when I start up word. I push ok and it's ok but how do I resolve the problem?

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 06:42 AM PDT

I've tried to research and fix it but I guess I lacked the know how, need alittle help guys

THANKS

Office 2013 won't save as .doc instead of .docx, as suggested by some.

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 05:47 AM PDT

I have Office 2013 and I want to post my resume through OneDrive, and I read that I should post as .doc just in case an employer has legacy ATS? So I follow the steps, click file, save, save documents as 97-2003, and OK. I restart Word 2013 and save the resume again as 97-2003 .doc, but no change when I drag it and try to make it a link in my Virtual Studio project. Why?

Now it just names a new document as Document1, Document2 etc. Anybody have any idea how to get it back to be the first few words of the document?

MS Word 2013 freezes constantly after re-installation

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 03:42 AM PDT

Recently I experienced some computer weirdness (blue screen, frowny face, wouldn't turn on - not sure what this is called). To remedy this I chose to 'refresh'. When I turned on my laptop again after the refresh I found that I no longer had Office 2013. I reinstalled it without incident, but now when I try to use Word it is always unresponsive. I am able to open a blank document, but it will become unresponsive after about ten seconds. The message "We're streaming a few required files in the background, this shouldn't take long" appears. I tried waiting to see if it would respond, but after several hours it was still unresponsive.

I heard something about unchecking add-ons, but it literally freezes so fast that I don't even have time to do that.

Thoughts?

How do I crop to a particular size?

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 01:32 AM PDT

If I use the crop tool and try and drag it so that it aligns to the edge of my slide, it jumps either to a few pixels left or right of the edge and won't let me drag it exactly to where I want it. 

A) why is this (infuriating!)?

B) is there a way of typing the measurements to crop to, I used to be able to see it in 2010, but can't find it in 2013

Thanks

How can I add more levels to the standard table of content?

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 01:15 AM PDT

In Word 2007 the standard table of content is 3 levels deep. How can I add more levels to it?

No luck with this tip: Press Alt+F9 to show field codes. TOC looks similar to { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z }. Change the \o "1-3" part to include more levels (\o "1-4" to include four levels, and so forth). Press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. Update the TOC.


Any ideas?

Thanks

Zero-Width-Non-Joiner & XPS/PDF add-on

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 11:23 PM PDT

Dear Microsoft Office Administrators,

 

Thank you very much indeed for your great and informative site.

 

I use Zero-Width-Non-Joiner frequently in Word 2007 for my language (Right-to-Left encoding) course . Whereas everything is fine in Word i.e. words look separated. When I print to pdf things vary greatly. On some machines the Built-in Word XPS/PDF feature functions properly, but on others it does not, even after embedding fonts.

Some third-party pdf-makers such as JawPDF maker do the trick, unfortunately even after "do not send fonts to adobe is unckecked" some Adobe equipped (especially above Version 6) computers join the words, although it is not universal.

Interestingly on a given machine XPS/PDF add-on joins the words, but Adobe Acrobat 6.0 prints the words separated.

It would be highly appreciated if you would kindly provide me with your invaluable technical support.

 

Sincerely Yours

Carla

When I right click on the Word icon I can see the list of Recent documents but can't open them

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 10:20 PM PDT

When I right click on the Word icon I can see the list of Recent documents but can't open them. It used to work fine but stopped when I updated my OS from 8 to 8.1. Now I get this message: [The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed or removed. Do you want to remove it from list?]

Although I removed the items, and opened them again, it still doesn't work.

How can I fix it because this is a really helpful feature?

How to resolve problem publishing to blog?

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 08:54 PM PDT

I want to use OneNote to publish to my blog on WordPress.com.

I know OneNote invokes Word to do the publishing.

I can successfully register with my backend blog, specifying the publishing URL (e.g. myblog.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php), with account and password.

HOWEVER, when I try to PUBLISH I get an error "Word cannot publish this post."

FYI, also tried with with Word alone, no OneNote. Same problem.

Banging into walls to resolve this. Did learn the error is 710797 by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I when the error dialog pops up.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Create a new (empty) blog post in Word
  2. Type some text (Lorem Ipsum will do)
  3. Click Publish
  4. Observe error message "Word cannot publish this post."
  5. Verify error condition by pressing CTRL+SHFT+I and observing code 701797 appears in lower right of error dialog.

How to debug this?

Word 2010 Concordance that lists all of the words that are used in a document.

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 08:07 PM PDT

Greetings.

I need to create a concordance in Word 2010 which will list every word that is used in a document, as well as the number of times each word is used.

I have been told that it can be done using Visual Basic, though the instructions I have found for creating a concordance are fragmented, incomplete, or just plain not helpful.

I need a concordance to maintain consistency for spellings (that is, to avoid using words like "mid-term" and "midterm" in the same document when both are being used to mean the same thing) and to avoid over-usages of certain words.

In addition to the Visual Basic script, I need specific but easy-to-follow instructions that will allow me to do this.

Thank you.

Search Macro for MS WORD

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 05:25 PM PDT

Greetings!

I am using MS WORD 2010.

I have a long file that contains word(s) and phrases in italics. I need to "surround" the italicized word(s) in braces, as follows:

Before macro is run:

For score and seven years ago ... to be or not to be that ...

After macro is run:

For [score] and [seven years] ago ... to be [or not] to be that ...

Thus, there are single italicized words and italicized relatively short phrases that need to be braced.

I would deeply appreciate your help in this matter.

Style heading Level 1 for Word 2010 behaving badly -

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 04:32 PM PDT

What am I doing wrong?

I used Style Heading Level 1. Modified it to my suit then add a paragraph shading of 100%. What happened next is an unending nightmare.

If the page above the has a normal page break, the shading jumps right up there and shade the page break line space and if I chose normal style, my heading on the following page reverts back to normal text as well.

If the page above has a section page break all is well but I know this is not a fix and should not be. I checked the style's formatting and check the modifications again and again but it's the same.

Does anyone ever encounter such issue and have any answer that help?

Word 2013 - Sluggish Performance - MS Office Professional Plus 2013

Posted: 29 Jun 2014 08:50 AM PDT

Hoping that someone can help with my issue. I recently downloaded (from MS) and installed MS Office Professional Plus on my Acer AspireV5 netbook (running Win 8.1). The performance seems very sluggish and there seems to be a significant lag time between the time I type keys and the letters appear on the screen. Ditto if I am trying to delete using thebackspacekey. I have tried some of the suggested solutions that have appeared in other threads (e.g. disabled all Word add ons; disabled "hardware graphics acceleration" in Word) and still the problem persists.

Can anyone provide any additional suggestions that might help resolve this issue? Thanks for any help.
