Macro to Apply specific text styles to words in a sentence based on word order and reshuffle in MS word.

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 02:40 PM PDT

Hi,

I am trying to automate certain sentence mistakes:

For example:

"It is a car very big"

I would like MS word to read the grammatical structure of the sentence and move "very big" before "car" and apply specific (varying) colour highlighting to the different words.

So final result would be:

It is a car very big car. (1st car= double strikethrough and grey highlight and 2nd car in green without affecting character style)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

References and Bookmarks

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 01:42 PM PDT

I am working on a template for a series of Appendices to a document. Each appendix will be its own Word document and will be labeled Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. In the template I am using "X" as a placeholder for this label. Within each of these documents there are a number of occasions where tables and figures reference the Appendix label (e.g. Table A-1, Table A-2, etc). I want to be able to link these captions and text within the body of the document to populate all references to the Appendix label at once.  I have tried creating a style reference, but the "X" of the Appendix label is never it's own paragraph. I created a bookmark and inserted a Ref field, but the bookmark brackets either include an extra space or the bookmark is deleted when I update the text within the brackets. Is there another way?

Thanks!

Forms

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 11:01 AM PDT

I am working in Word 2010. I am creating a form.  I have pictograms that I'd like to use in the form.  I want to be able to have the user delete the pictogram if it doesn't apply to the particular product they are filling the form out about.  Also, when the form is opened, is there a way to have the cursor start in the first form field.  Right now the cursor is always up near the title of the document.  Thanks.

Insert Data from 1 Table to Another Table

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:38 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a Word Document with 2 Tables in it, and I use Fields within Both.

I want to use Table 1 to show the Totals from the Data in Table 2.

eg: In Table 2:

 -------------------

| Chocolate | £1.59 |

|-----------|-------|

| Cola      | £2.50 |

|-----------|-------|

| Gum       | £0.59 |

 -------------------

Table 1:

 ----------------

| Sweets | £2.18 |

|----------------|

| Drinks | £2.50 |

 ----------------

So I would like is a formula that will:

Add Table 2 B1 + Table 2 B3

Formula: {=T2:B1 + T2:B3 \# "£#,##0.00;(£#,##0.00)"}

Insert Table 2 B2

Formula: {T2:B2 \# "£#,##0.00;(£#,##0.00)"}

I am not sure how you reference Table 2 in the code for Table 1?

Please note that if possible I would like to do this within the Fields without using VBA, so when I change the amounts in Table 2 and then I do a Print Preview or Print the Page, then the Totals in Table 1 will be updated for me.

Thank you in advance,

Neil

Changing colors on MS Word 2013

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:25 AM PDT

Hi!

I recently installed Windows 8 and Word 2013. I like the new design, it´s more comfortable, but I have problem with colors. I changed colors in windows, I use high contrast theme with my own colors. So my Word also uses the same colors as a backround (yellow with black letters).

I use colors in my work a lot, I change colors of paragraphs and different documents have different backround colors - this helps me to identify them more quicly and is quite important to me (it means that I don´t want to change some default theme, but I need to be able to change colors of all different documents, paragraphs and words). But I can´t change it anymore. I try to change text or backround colors, but it won´t change. 

What may be the issue?

Thanks!

Shift+F9 and Alt +F9 do not reveal INCLUDEPICTURE field code in my Word 2010 document

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:18 AM PDT

Hi! I am using Word 2010 on a Windows 7 computer. My document has many images in it that are linked through the INCLUDEPICTURE field.

To link the files I do this: Insert > Picture > select my image > Insert > Link to File.  The image appears in the document. When I select the image and press Alt+F9 I should be able to see the path, for example: { INCLUDEPICTURE "imagename.png"\*MERGEFORMAT }.  If I press Alt+F9 I should see the paths to all the linked images in the entire document.  This function worked last week and for may years.  Now it is not working on my work laptop or my personal laptop.  I have tried creating a new document today and it has the same issue.

I did restart my laptops over the weekend, wondering if this could be the issue with a microsoft windows update.

Arabic numerals copied from a document converted into Eastern Arabic numerals when pasting in another document having Arabic numerals

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Hi,

My MS Office 2007 is Arabic version. However, when I have tried copying the content of a word file (degrees for  students written in Arabic numerals, from 0 - 9). But while pasting those degrees in another document also having degrees written in  Arabic numerals 0 to 9, I found that the degrees  pasted were converted into Eastern Arabic numerals. (۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹). However, the other degrees in the original document to which I pasted were still in Arabic numerals . Also, the content (degrees) in the document from which I copied were still in  Arabic numerals.

Is this line problem?

This is the procedure I have followed.

1- I have created a word document ona Microsoft Office 2010 English Version installed on my laptop whose system is Windows 7. Only the degrees of students of that document were written in  Arabic numerals, from (0 - 9).

2- I have another word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version installed on another laptop whose system is Windows XP. Only the degrees of students of that documents were written in Arabic numerals, from (0 - 9).

3- I copied a copy of that document created in the step one and pasted it in a FlashDrive. Then, I have plugged the FlashDrive to another laptop, and I opened both the Word files on the other laptop and tried copying the degrees from the file created in the Microsoft Office 2010 English Version and pasted them to the contents(degrees) of that word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version .

4- I found that the degrees pasted into word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version converted into Eastern Arabic numerals*(۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹). However, the original degrees previously written on that word document created in Microsoft Office 2007  were still written in  Arabic numerals (0- 9).  Only the new degrees pasted converted into Eastern Arabic numerals.

Also, in Microsoft Office 2010 English Version installed on my laptop whose system is Windows 7, I have another problem which is that when I write numbers, such as in Date, I find  that the numbers are only written in Arabic numerals (0- 9), although that the input language is Arabic. How can I control over  numbers.  If I want to convert the Arabic numerals (0- 9) written in the date inside a Word document into Eastern Arabic numerals*(۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹), how will I do?

Navigation to Webpage was Canceled for Dictionary in Word 365

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 08:37 AM PDT

Somehow several weeks ago, I noticed my dictionary that came with Word 365 was no longer available.  Instead whenever I click on the define button in the review function in Word 365, I get the following message pop up for the English Dictionary 'Navigation to Webpage Canceled' and my Norton 360 advises me with a red X shield not to continue to the website after I refresh the message pop up.

Incidentally, Word support did not offer any solution whatsoever!

Anyone else facing this issue?

Envelopes and Labels

In Microsoft Word 2010 when sending a letter and clicking on Mailings>Labels>The address from the letter automatically populates in the Envelopes and Labels box. On my colleagues computer it does not do this any longer. I am wondering if there is a particular setting that needs to be changed so it will do this on my colleagues computer. Thank you.

Converting wav to Word?

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:51 AM PDT

Can anyone recommend a free wav to Word converter? My wife is interviewing 8 people, each interview is about an hour long and doesn't fancy the idea of having to manually transcribe them. An 80% success rate would be OK.

Thanks

Spell checking within a boxed or bordered item in Word

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:43 AM PDT

Is there by any chance a way of enabling the spell check inside a boxed or bordered item in Word?  For example, in the image below, I would expect to see red wiggly lines under the words "propbabilities" and "almosty" but there are none, and neither of these words are these flagged when I run the spell check.

A mystery!

Insert Image Box for users please help

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 02:07 AM PDT

Hi

I am trying to create a box in a Worddoc for users to insert their own images into the template.  How do I add a box that

1.  Says insert image but the text disappears once the image is inserted.

2. Make sure that the image no matter what size it is will fit exactly into the size of the box so no resizing is required by the user.  I would appreciate help please I am lost with this one.  I have looked at making a table single cell-but cannot add the text and I am unable to lock the size of the table so it will not change to suit the image.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Using Word 2007

Running Word 2003 and Word 2010 in parallel

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 11:47 PM PDT

I work continually for a series of different employers. Some use MS Word 2003; others use MS Word 2010. I have both versions of Word on my computer (which runs Windows 7).
I need to keep Word 2003 <.doc> files so that they always open in Word 2003 and I can revise them in Word 2003; and I need to keep Word 2007/2010 <.docx> files so that they always open in Word 2010 and I can revise them in Word 2010.
But the computer keeps reconfiguring MS Office every time I switch between the two programs. What do I need to do to keep both Word 2003 and Word 2010 available and operating in parallel, doing away with all such reconfiguring?

Thanks in advance.

Text in Word Document did not save.

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 07:20 PM PDT

Yesterday, I had a word document open, and when I finished editing I saved it to my documents, and I'm pretty sure it saved fine. Then I went to save another document I was working on, however, Word stopped responding and I don't think this document saved properly. That didn't really matter though as it was just notes that I didn't need any more. 

Then today, I went to open the first document, and it was saved (the file was there) but when it opened, all my text had disappeared, and it said i had spent 0 hours editing (which was obviously not true!) 

Even though I have auto recovery set up to save every 10 minutes, there are "No previous Versions"of the file. I've tried restarting my computer and searching for the file where my recovered documents are found, but nothing worked. 

Is there anyway I can recover my text?? I lost all the progress I had made :( Any help would be really appreciated, I really need this document!! 

Trick for having Save button disabled after saving and enabled after document change?

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 05:31 PM PDT

I  am used to the Windows user interface standard where after saving the document the "Save" button appears disabled (grayed-out) and then becomes enabled again after making any change in the document. This is very useful to get a visual feedback whether the document has been changed after the last saving or not, i.e. whether there are any unsaved changes in the document.

Unfortunately this does not happen in Word 2010. Why not? Why does a Microsoft application not follow this de-facto long-year Windows user interface standard?

Is it possible to get this standard behavior back in Word 2010 with some trick?
