Have Word 2007-Windows Update keeps telling me to install a fix for Word 2010

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 02:18 PM PDT

Every few days Windows update tells me that I have new updates to install. It is a fix for Word 2010 and is shown as important. I intentionally deselected it the last time I installed updates because it is not the version I have installed. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this? Note: I always stay current with my updates and have never had this happen before.

Word 2013 Resizes Window when left open

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:57 PM PDT

If I have a document open in MS Word and minimize the window to be able to work on something else, when I return to the window, it resizes itself making font and tabs very large.  Zoom is still set at 100% (standard when it looks normal).  When I close and reopen the document, it goes back to a normal view.  How do I fix this?

Help will not populate when selected-offline

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:01 PM PDT

I have all kinds of problems, mainly I think because of the proprietary nature of MS.. I currently use (try to) Explorer 11 as my default browser, I have Esset Nod32, and Haven't got the grasp of OUTLOOK..and how it relates to other e-mails.. 

I have a lot of learning to do, BUT..GENERALLY  I have been able to slowly work my way through situations with the help of my 'Help Files" 

Lately...my 'help' will not expand or populate when 'clicked' selected..I  noticed an icon in the lower taskbar that says "on/off' line--even this doesn't change, although it seems to take you automatically to 'help' and the whole Microsoft.com  world where you have to go in and select thee appropriate os, etc.etc, etc whereas IF  I could get the help that was installed it would be product specific... Why??  Where to start?

Screen has moved 90 degrees clockwise

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:00 PM PDT

Whilst working on a document in word the screen for no apparent reason turned clockwise through 90 degrees. I turned the machine off back on it appears the same way. The opening screen with the date and time is on the left hand side!

machine is new, Office 2013 new also

Revisions pane started appearing with every comment

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 11:50 AM PDT

I'm still getting used to the 2013 version of Word. When I was playing around with Review and Track Changes options to get my text markups to display to my preference, I invoked the dreaded Revisions Pane. Now it appears every time I go to make a new comment because I keep trying to close the accursed window. Besides the distraction of the pane popping up, it also diverts my cursor off course when I try to type comments on the right side of the page. All of my efforts to change the Track Changes settings to what they were before have been futile. Please make the pane go away! I will live with it on one side of my screen for now, but at the cost of my sanity.

Windows 8 Compatibility Issues for Microsoft Office 2007

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 11:24 AM PDT

I got a new Windows 8 laptop about a little over a year ago and loaded up my Office 2007 version to it. Since then I've had a ton of problems, including the fact that auto-save doesn't work at all, which causes a LOT of problems for me.

I heard there was a compatibility download that you can purchase and all I can find online is just buying the software completely new, and I don't want to do that. 

Do you know where I can download/buy that compatibility for Office 2007 (purchased IN the year 2007) for my Windows 8 laptop?

Thanks!

What is the Word equivilant of Shift+Tab that is used in InDesign?

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 10:58 AM PDT

With indesign, if I type something, hit Shift+Tab, and type some more, I get text typed on both ends of the text area with a spacer in the middle.  I guess the word for it would be Full Tab?  It doesnt matter what the justification is for that line, it will always push the text to the far left and right.  What is the equivalent to this for Word?

Error "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 09:33 AM PDT

I am using office on window 8 and just got an error message "There was a problem sending the command to the program" and another "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.  Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?"  I've clicked repair, didn't work.  I've also gone to WINWORD.exe's property tab and unchecked everything, didn't work.  I've tried troubleshooting, didn't work.  However I noted that there isn't an option for Window 8 in the property compatibility dropdown box.  Not sure why this happened all of a sudden, the Microsoft office has been working fine till today...I really need to have it work again before this afternoon as I have a paper due tonight...  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks! 

How do I print tracked changes but not formatting changes? (Word 2013)

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 09:24 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013 on a Windows 7 PC.  In the Review tab, when I uncheck Formatting in the Show Markup dropdown, it prevents the formatting changes from showing on my screen and in print preview, but still prints them on my document in the right margin (cut off like I show in the image below).   How do I prevent printing them altogether if I'm not ready to "accept" those formatting changes?  I just want to print all the tracked changes in my document except for the formatting changes.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Word count end note

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 08:46 AM PDT

How do I set the document (docx) word count to include end notes? Editor put me on strict word limit, to include every word in the document including end notes or foot notes. Need to count every one. He said there was a way to do this, but can't find it. Thank you.

mail merge in Word 2013 is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Issues with mail merge in Word 2013

Client has a membership database. Every few weeks a list of new members is downloaded from the database as "Welcomeletter.csv" & it is merged with a document "Welcome letter.doc". Individual Welcome letters for each new member is printed & mailed.  The csv always had the same name & the newly downloaded csv file overwrote the old one. All the client had to then do was to open the main document "Welcome letter.doc" & print. The client had Windows XP & Office 2003. The mail merge used to work just fine in there.

We have now upgraded the client to Windows 7 & Office 2013 & it has been a nightmare. The association is not remembered, the main document asks for the correct data file, but pointing it to the correct data file does not help. The Word document needs to be told to forget the association & the csv file has to be re-associated with the document, every single time.  You do not have to reinsert the fields.

The following steps are the fastest way to get it done. But it does not make sense.

  1. When I Open the "Welcome      letter.doc" I get a prompt
         Opening the Document will run the following SQL Command:
         SELECT * FROM G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV
         Data from your database will be placed in the document, Do you want to continue.     
  2. I say NO ,  the document opens      , I go to Mailings , Select Recipients , use an existing list
  3. I then point to G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV      & everything is fine, I do not even have to reinsert the mail merge   fields.

If I do say Yes instead of No,   it still does not work & I need to do the same, however there are few extra prompts.

The first error message says

227DA05D.DOCX is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source, G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV

Note: The file numbers keep changing

  1. I have to Option to "Find  the data Source'
  2. When I find the data      source & point to it , I get another error message

If the mail merge data/header source WelcomeLetter.CSV no longer exists, choose Remove Data/Header Source to remove its association with 227DA05D.docx or remove All merge info to make 227DA05D.DOCX a normal word document.

  1. I elect to " Remove      Data/Header Source" , Open the document  go to Mailings , Select Recipients , use      an existing list I then point to G:\WelcomeLetter.CSV & everything is fine,      I do not even have to reinsert the mail merge fields.

 

Both the word & the csv files are stored in G:\ ( Network drive. They have always been stored there)

I have tried C:\ , C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\ ,  It does not affect

The word file used to originally be a doc file & I recreated a new docx file & no change.

Please help I am losing my mind

 

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 does not open again after repair of computer

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 07:51 AM PDT

I bought the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 (English) and downloaded the free Afrikaans spell checker as well.

The German language pack I had to by from Microsoft. I downloaded it. Everything worked fine.

But now, after the repair of my computer, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 does not want to load again with the CD.

What must I do now?

I only get now Word 2007 but only in Afrikaans with English and Afrikaans spell checker.

I also don´t get the German Spell Checker any-more.

My computer has three users.  First user: German

                                                      Second user: Afrikaans

                                                      Third user: English (South Africa)

Everything worked very well before the repair.

The first user got everything, also the menu, from Microsoft Home and Student 2013 in German. Also with the German Spell Checker.

The second user got everything in Afrikaans. With Afrikaans Spell Checker.

The third user got everything in English (South Africa). With English (South Africa) Spell Checker.

I have Microsoft windows 7 Ultimate.

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Yours sincerely

Hi there,

I have the following problem: I cannot have a drop down list or something similar, in which I can choose e.g. a name and - after clicking onto it - having shown for example his office number which I obviously enter in advance. Is that possible? Bear in mind that the document will be restricted.

Cheers,

Word crashed when trying to define new multilevel list

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 01:56 AM PDT

Hi Expert

I have some problems defining a new multilevel list if the cursor is placed within a paragraph using the List Bullet or List Bullet 2 style. If I do the following Word crashes:

  • Apply List Bullet style to a paragraph
  • Apply List Bullet 2 style to the following paragraph
  • Modifying both styles, e.g. changing the font size to 9
  • Place the cursor in the first paragraph with the List Bullet style applied
  • Click Define new multilevel list...

However it seems that this behaviour is only related to Word 2007 - I have tested on three different machines which all do the same. But when testing on a machine with Word 2010 or Word 2013 everything seems to be working fine.

Any ideas?

Microsoft Office 2013 Has Stopped Working

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 11:06 PM PDT

My brother attempted to open a Microsoft 2010 word file from his flash drive when this error occurred. When I attempt to open any Microsoft Office 2013 application, it first tells me "Word failed to launch in safe mode. Do you want to start repair?" I click yes, then, it proceeds to say that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." When I try to open a file already created in, for example Microsoft Word 2013, it tells me "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information..." that dialog box disappears. I then attempt to open the file again, and a new dialog box appears, saying, "Word couldn't start last time. Safe mode could help you troubleshoot the problem, but some features might not be available in this mode.   Do you want to start in safe mode?" I click yes. and then the process repeats. When I went to Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, I then right clicked the Office Home and Student Suite 2013, and clicked "change" Office then opened a window to repair it's programs which also failed. It says "Something went wrong. Sorry we ran into a problem. Go online for additional help. Error Code 30029-4"  I am no longer sure of what other options I have short of uninstalling and reinstalling the Office Suite. I have also checked the computer for viruses and the like from my brother's flash drive via Vipre, possibly ruling out malicious software. I only know so much about these kind of issues however.

Google Map URL Fails in Word

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 10:29 PM PDT

Office Pro Plus 2013

Word version (15.0.4615.1000) MSO (15.0.4615.1000) 32-bit

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

 

Obtain a Google Map URL like

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Golden+Gate+Bridge,+San+Francisco,+CA&hl=en&ll=37.815141,-122.474513&spn=0.03075,0.066047&sll=37.269174,-119.306607&sspn=15.837074,33.815918&oq=golden+gate+bridge&t=h&z=15

 

Obtain the Google Map short URL for it.

http://goo.gl/7E5ILR

 

When you click on either link in a Word document, you get in Google Chrome

"https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic&dg=ntvo"

which is not your location.

 

If you paste either url directly into Google Chrome, it works fine.

 

Why do the links not work in Word?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Key tips and enhanced screen tips accessibility

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 09:09 PM PDT

Hello,

I teach Office to vision impaired students to assist them in gaining employment.

To assist our blind students I am currently trying to create a document that lists all the key tips (keystrokes) and enhanced screen tips (descriptions) for each of the commands on each of the ribbon tabs in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint, both 2010 and 2013.

At the moment I am manually checking each tab and typing the information into an Excel spreadsheet.  This is a very tedious process as I first need to list all the individual button names then the enhanced screen tips and then the keytips.

Is there an easier way to create this list i.e. by using a macro to extract the information into a Word document or Excel spreadsheet etc.

Looking forward to your assistance,

G.
