Microsoft Word - Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013

Microsoft Word - Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013


Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:11 PM PDT

Opened an older document in compatibility mode in Word 2013.  Random spacing issues keep coming up when the document is saved, closed then re-opened later.  Random paragraph spaces will show up in the middle of a paragraph or indents or other spacing will be changed to something else when it looked fine before saving and closing the document. 

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

J

Has the Encarta Dictionary been discontinued?

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:07 PM PDT

It appears that this dictionary is no longer functioning, but I cannot find any solid information on this.  Users in the office are complaining about it, and I don't know what to tell them.

I can see that there are a lot of complaints about this, so I know that it is not exclusive to our office.  I tried the "Fix It" solution, but that didn't change anything.

Can someone please give me some definitive information about this?

Thank you.

I just want to delete some pages from a Word 2013 document

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:03 PM PDT

I am trying to delete some pages from a large(44 pages) Word document.  I guess I'm the first person in the world to ever need to delete a page that isn't blank or at the end of the document.  It's unbelievable that I spent 30 minutes chatting with support and almost an hour on the phone with two different 'pro' support persons and none of them have ever encountered this problem.  How can I just select a page and delete it.  It's not rocket science but seems to be a very difficult thing to do, why is that?

Set Reference to Word Template in VBA

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 03:35 PM PDT

Hi all,

I am looking to find the most efficient/simplest way to reference a newly added Word template object. My code is as follows:

    Dim appWord As Word.Application
    Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    appWord.Visible = True
    appWord.Documents.Add Template:= _
        "H:\Documents\Misc Assignments\Template.dotx" _
        , NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0

I wan to do something similar to:

Set objWord = appWord.Documents.Add

How would I do this with templates as there is already an "="? Can I avoid using ActiveDocument?

Thanks

Print layout shows postage stamp size pages

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 02:31 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2010 Starter Edition on a Win 7 computer.

I'm looking at a multi page document and the Print Layout shows all pages as postage stamp size images, instead of a single page where I can scroll down (or up) to see the remaining pages.

The Draft Layout displays the pages normally, but images I pasted using IRFANVIEW are missing.

How can I change the Print Layout display?   Can images be displayed when the Draft Layout is used?

Text boxes disappear in Office 2013 after saving to a new format

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 01:11 PM PDT

Hi, I created a document in Word 2007. It included images, text boxes, and automatic links. It was opened in Word 2013, and a copy of it was saved. When the copy was saved, Word asked if the user wanted to save it in a new format, and once it was saved, the text boxes all disappeared. They weren't simply hidden behind the image, because I tried deleting the image that they were in front of. They were just gone. However, by opening the saved copy in Word 2007, the text boxes appeared again. Does anybody have any idea why this would happen, and how to prevent it from happening other than checking of the checkbox to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word? I don't want to rely on my users to remember to check that box for these certain documents.

Send an Word document as attachment - have cursor in to-box

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:46 PM PDT

When I'm looking at a Word document I often want to forward it on to a colleague. In Word 2013 I would click on "forward as an attachment". In the window that opens, the cursor is in the message box instead of in the "To:" box.
A minor irritation but it's very frustrating that a simple process has been made more complicated.
Any help?

WORD 2010 Multiple DOcs open keeps reverting to doc I just copied text from - changes on its own

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I have a user, with multiple documents open in a dual-monitor environment.  He is working in Doc A, he then chooses Doc B, copies or cuts some text, goes back to Doc A, pastes it in.  Between 5 and 10 seconds later,  Word will revert to Doc B and make that one active.  What is awful is that the user, if he hasn't noticed this change, is typing into the wrong document!  I saw this with my own eye or else I would have definitely thought user error.  Has anyone had this experience?  Thank you.

problem with opening documents

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 09:22 AM PDT

     I have Microsoft Office 2003 and 2013 on my Windows 7 computer..  I have Always been able to double click a Word Document and it opened in 2013 version... same with Excel... would open in 2013 version.   IF I right clicked the document, I could choose to open with 2003 version and it would open...

   suddenly, I can no longer do this... it does not give me an error message .. it just will not open the document. 

   I have a program on the computer also called OpenOffice which is compatible to Microsoft Office and will open word docs and excel files...IF I right click my document and choose to open in OpenOffice, it opens right up as read only.. 

  I can open Microsoft Word Or Excel and then click File/Open and then go to the document and click to open and it opens fine... WHY is it NOT opening anymore when I double click it or right click and choose 2003 version???

 HOW do I fix this so it will open

Leave a non-printable note in Word

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:52 AM PDT

Hello people of the forum!

I am somewhat curious of the idea to leave a note to someone in a Word document.

This I would utilize in specific instructions on printing, as the file might be distributed between people.

Therefore, it also has to be quite visible when someone opens the document.

However, it should under no circumstances be printed out with the rest of the document, like comments.

I did try to move a textbox outside of the paper like in PowerPoint, but it became completely transparent.

Any good ideas?

Create a macro that searches for a case sensitive word and then changes the case for every word following it until another key character is found.

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:07 AM PDT

Hi All,

I would like to create a macro that will search the contents of a file to change the case of all words that fall between two sets of quotes following a keyword that is case sensitive.

 

First example: Here is my current test:

Label "THIS IS A TEST"

I would like search for the case sensitive literal "Label "" (Label-space-quote) and make sure that every word encased in the quotes retain the only first letter of each as a capital letter. The output should be:

                Label "This Is A Test"

 

 Second Example:

                Label "This is not a Test"

I would like search for the case sensitive literal "LABEL "" (LABEL-space-quote) and make sure that every word from the first quote to the second quote in the string is all capitalized. The output should be:

                LABEL "THIS IS NOT A TEST"  

Any help you can provide would be great!!!

Thanks in advance,


Wayne                                                    

Search for email addresses.

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:06 AM PDT

I have a folder with several hundred .RTF documents that have contacts information inside. I need to find how to extract the email addresses from the documents without having to open each one. Is this possible? Or can these files be converted to  some kind of contacts file in oder to do this. I need to send a flyer out and it would take countless hours to open all these and get the addresses.

Word 2010 & 2013 Fonts

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 07:33 AM PDT

The font Calibri Light works great on word 2013 but does not appear on word 2010.

Will it be possible to add this font to machines with word 2010 installed?

Type in all text as a different color

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 07:30 AM PDT

I have a long document of questions from a review.  I would like to respond to each of those questions using text that is a different color from the original document.  Is there a way that I can have all the text that I enter be green if the existing document has all black text.  I can highlight the text and change the color but I don't want to do that a hundred times.  I have been using track changes, but if someone accepts the changes the color is changed from green to match the existing document.

Display names of compared files in Word 2010 comparison document

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 06:36 AM PDT

Unlike WordPerfect, when Word generates a comparison document, it does NOT automatically generate an introductory blurb which displays the file names of the two documents being compared. Is there any way to generate such a summary?

Forms in MS Word 2010

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 05:59 AM PDT

I have created several Word documents/templates using the restricted editing mode for form filling. Since yesterday, when I open a document and test if text can be inserted, the field is blocked and nothing can be inserted. This problem exists on two different computers at two different locations. Has anything changed? My updates are current so I am not sure what the problem is.

Numbered paragraph styles synchronized with Heading X styles

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 01:17 AM PDT

Hallo everybody.

I have a problem creating outline numbered lists bound to the corresponding Heading X styles. In Word 2010, I need to create a group of styles (let us name them HL1, HL2, ... HL9). These styles are intended for numbering paragraphs in multi-level list. At that, the styles should not have outline level. The main requirement is that the styles should comply with the corresponding styles of outline-leveled headings (i.e., Heading 1, Heading 2, ... Heading 9).

An example of a target block of paragraphs is listed below (the corresponding style name is shown in brackets at the beginning of each paragraph):

1 (Heading 1) text of heading of level 1
1.1 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
1.2 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
1.3 (Heading 2) text of heading of level 2
1.3.1 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph
1.3.2 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph
2 (Heading 1) text of heading of level 1
2.1 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
2.2 (Heading 2) text of heading of level 2
2.2.1 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph

As it shown in the example, the HL2 style is synchronized in numbering with Heading 1, the HL3 style is synchronized with Heading 2 and so on. At that, the style of equal "position", for example, HL2 and Heading 2 have the same numbering flow. Such fragments of text are typical in legal documents or in description of requirements.

To implement such styles, I tried several approaches:
1. I created style HL1 on the base of style Heading 1, style HL2 - on the base of Heading 2, etc. The created styles do not suit me because I cannot change number format in the styles (via Format>Numbering...), so the number format remains inherited from the corresponding Heading n style, which is not admissible for numbering body paragraphs.
2. I created paragraph styles HL1, HL2, ... HL9. Then I created multi-level list with references to the corresponding HLn style on the list levels. In the result, the HLn do synchronize between each other, but they do not synchronize with the corresponding parent Heading n styles.

I need a solution (detailed instruction) that I would be able to reproduce both manually and then in VBA code. Is it feasible?

Regards, Yuri.

How to make make picture watermark less visible

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:59 AM PDT

Well, as the title already told you, I want it to be somewhat less visible.

How would I format the picture in order to do that? It stands out quite strong just now.

Edit: What exactly is the difference between lightning and contrast? I have found some options, but I don't know what they do.
