converted pdf to word 2010 - how identify superscripts to change style?

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 02:40 PM PDT

I converted a pdf document to Word 2010.  This makes all of the text Normal style by default.  The formatting may be different than the Normal style, however.  For example, footnote numbers are small font superscripts.  

I want to decrease the text font and line spacing.  However, if I select all the text to make these changes or change the Normal style, the footnote numbers become the same font as the regular text and are too large.  

Is there a way to select all of the footnote numbers and give them a different style than Normal?  Or is there some other solution that would preserve the small font of the footnote numbers?

Hope I am being clear.

Thank you.

Strange List Template Behaviour with Word Styles Task Pane

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 02:30 PM PDT

Hello,

I'm hoping someone has encountered this strange behavior before and knows of a way to make it not happen.

Word 2010. SP2, Windows 7.  I suspect this was happening as early as Word 2003 because I have encountered the problem before, but only today decided to try to determine what causes it..  It bit me today because I didn't notice right away and had to throw away my work and start again.

Word sometimes creates 10 unused list templates in document without my telling it to do so.  As it always seems to happen to me when I'm setting up a new master style set or new templates, I had the opportunity to chase it today, and found it.

It happens when I merely "look" at the built-in Word styles.  Typical happening today, I was preparing a template and wanted to pre-activate some of the built-in styles so that they don't get introduced into the document via a formatted paste from a legacy DOC (and, hence blow up my plan with font themes).

I found that if I change the styles task pane to "Show All styles" and merely breeze the mouse over the built in List styles (and that with the style pane preview OFF), it brings the unwanted list templates into the document.  Curiously, the "in-use" property of those styles remains "false".

It happens much more easily if the style task pane preview is on.

There is a way to avoid, and that is easy to forget and it won't work even my power users, as they will likely forget.

I would expect of course that if I apply one of this styles, a list template would be introduced, but merely viewing should not, imo, result in a new list template in the document.  Please do tell me this is not by design!!!!!

Its always my practice to release new templates in a "clean" state. Having 10 unused list templates is not desirable.  All of my automation is in-process so I lack an easy way to remove them.

Thank you very much.

Copy table from excel

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 12:18 PM PDT

Hello,

I do a report of about 80pages including many tables which I take from excel.

When I copy from excel and paste to Word as a table, the formatting gets distorted. The worse thing is that cells with numbers doesn't get aligned as selected. I noticed that there is some blank space added in front or after the number which I have to go from cell to cell and delete mnually. This takes a long time if the table has many rows and columns of numbers.

Please help me to overcome this.

Thanks

Where is the "insert section break" in the ribbon in Word 2010?

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 10:21 AM PDT

I need to insert a section break into my document using Word 2010.  Where is the "insert section break" feature in the ribbon?  I found the "insert page break" in the Insert menu on the ribbon but there is no "insert section break" on this menu.

In Word 2002, when menus were simple and easy to use before the ribbon, I could just go to the Insert menu and insert any type of break that I needed.  Now, when I need to do something in Word or any other Office product, I spend 1/2 my time searching the Internet to find out where in the ribbon the feature is that I need.  Such a waste of time.

Can anyone tell me where the "insert section break" feature is in the ribbon?  

Even better, is there a way to find out the menu / menu item mappings from the old, easy to use Office suite to the new Office suite with the painful, twisted ribbon?

Thanks very much.

Outlook Warning on Microsoft Word during Mail Merge

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 09:07 AM PDT

Hi,

When I use Microsoft Word to do a email mail merge with an excel document, this warning appears. I never used my outlook account for the mail merge. This only happens when I complete the mail merge. Is this normal or does my computer have an issue?

Thanks!

Printing Word Documents from Folder

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 08:32 AM PDT

For work i have to print word documents from a folder. But everytime Microsoft Word on Win 7 opens the document. Also printing multiple documents doesn't work all the time.

Is this also possible with word?

Update Shauna Kelly's Beginner Pages

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 05:35 AM PDT

I often refer people to Shauna Kelly's Basic Concepts Pages.

Basic concepts of Microsoft Word: An introduction by Shauna Kelly

I think these are one of the best explanations of how to use Word effectively. Peter McWilliams wrote "The Mac is Not a Typewriter" back in the '80s and this is the MS Word equivalent in my opinion.

However, these pages are written for the menu versions of Word. They also start out directing people to use Text Boundaries. While the concepts still apply, I suspect many beginners will stop reading when they get to something that does not work in the Ribbon versions as instructed. Turning on Text Boundaries display in Word 2013/365 (and probably later) is enough to confuse anyone (except possibly the people designing Word).

I would be willing to spend the time to put together a ribbon version of the pages if anyone could post them on her site. I would welcome help. I would want the pages to note that they were based on her pages but not done by her. I would not want credit for the work. An alternative would be to adapt them on my own site, much as I did with the Legal Users Guide designed for Word 2000, but I am uncomfortable doing so. This could also go on the MVP site.

Change Word 2013 default language, while remaining a different keyboard input language.

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 03:53 AM PDT

Dear Windows-Comunity,

hello everybody, it's my first question. I have a problem: I have german laptop, thus I have german keyboard, but I usually work in English, since I am working abroad. When I want to right my reports, letters and other documents in Word 2013 it always changes back to German, although I set the default language in Word to English. I tried to set also the default keyboad input language also to English, but since my hardware is German it's more confusing in this way.

So guys, do you have an idea to set the default language of Word 2013 on a Win7 (64bit) system to English and remain the input keyboard language of the OS in German?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Thich Quang Duc

Styleref or Other

Posted: 21 Jun 2014 04:42 PM PDT

I have a document where other people have put a manually-entered text picture down the top left of every page, as a tab indicating the section.

The Styleref function could be used to determine the current section, and I tried to use the Watermark capability to position the styleref text in the right place.

Didn't work because couldn't use a function in the Watermark. 

Is there another way I could position a variable name for each section, possibly attached to the header, down the side of each page.
