First line indent in Word for iPad

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 12:25 PM PDT

Is there an option for first line indent in Word for iPad?  This seems like basic functionality that should be available, but I can't find it.  iPad doesn't have a tab key, so there really seems to be no way to indent other than hitting spaces repeatedly which would be a huge step backward....like to the typewriter age!

Thanks,

Tim

How to copy styles from an old, completed document to a new, empty document?

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 12:05 PM PDT

I recently published a book, and I am starting on another one. I would like to copy the styles from the final edited manuscript of the first book into a new, blank document in which I will begin to write the next book. I want to do this because the final edited manuscript of the first book contains all of the publisher's style specifications (American Psychological Association style), which would be excruciating to re-create manually in the new document.

What is the easiest way to reliably do this?

Thank you for your help.

I have a datasheet that I make that needs to be completed every day each month.  Is there a way to Automatically place the date in the Header for each page?  For example:

page 2 header - june 3

page 3 header - june 4

page 4 header - june 5

page 5 header - june 6

page 6 header - june 9 (start of new week)

Is there any way to automate this?

Change author name to hide identity in track changes

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 05:06 AM PDT

Hi,

We want to send a word file and in track changes mode but remove all authors and set one generic name. In previous versions, I could do that by changeing my name in File > Options > General, > Username.

I tried to run the Inspect document but still in vain.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot in advance

Word 2007 'ghost' page

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 03:12 AM PDT

H,

I am running Windows 7 32bit with Office 2007 Student.

Whenever I open a saved Word file a second 'ghost' blank Word file opens as well. This second file is a blank document and the page and tool-bar are 'greyed' out. The tabs on the tool-bar do operate but that is all, the tool-bar itself is frozen.

Closing this 'ghost' file has no impact on the already open document file and closing that file has no impact on the 'ghost' file, that remains open. 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Unicode Input in Microsoft Office (Word and Onenote) Becomes Boxes

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 09:49 PM PDT

Hello,

I am having issues inputting math symbols via the ALT+[Numbers] method. After I select an appropriate font (Cambria Math) and proceed to enter my key strokes for the symbol, I get a box instead of the symbol I need.

I can enter the exact same symbols via Insert - Symbol from the menu bar but I prefer to use key strokes. These key strokes work in NotePad and Firefox. The key strokes fail to work when I use any Microsoft Office product or the File Explorer.

Some sample symbols:

Alt +2200: ∀

Alt +2295: ⊕

Alt +2227: ∧

Any guidance is appreciated.

Ordinal 294 error accessing Internet Explorer and Word.

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 09:27 PM PDT

Hi everyone. I am having troubles with my computer. I have the sims installed and when I go to launch it, I get the following message:

The ordinal 294 could not be located in the dynamic link library

C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ieframe.dll

Now, I have figured out a way to play the sims with this message. This is not the problem anymore. I have tried to open internet explorer as well as Microsoft word today and neither worked. I am assuming it has something to do with this message as both worked fine a month or so ago (before the message popped up) and this is the first time i have tried either one since. Is there any "quick" fix for this? I would take my laptop in as it is covered under warranty but they will take 10-14 days and I have an online class with the final coming up in two weeks and I need my laptop now. I can take it in after the test but need it to work for now. I have windows 8. There is also problems with the user profile service everytime my computer goes to update and I have to reset the computer back to a date that it worked (what its called isnt coming to me at the moment). Now thats another problem all on its own and im just looking to fix this ordinal so I can have microsoft word back. I have office 365 that I pay monthly for and yes, my account is still being charged. When I go to open word, nothing happens. It then gives me the option of opening in safe mode and then does the "windows is searching for the solution" but never finds one. Any suggestions would be great.

Word for iPad Crashes on Edits

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 05:53 PM PDT

I am using Word for iPad on the latest iOS on my iPad 4. I have numerous documents originally created in Word for Mac that now reside in OneDrive. I have noticed on many documents that when I perform an edit to the text, the app crashes. Actually, not only does the app crash, but it crashes the entire iOS! 

I have reinstalled the app and tried closing all apps but Word for iPad. Sometimes this happens when I am trying to paste text, selecting a point in a sentence and typing, and hitting return to make a new line in an outline.

It should be noted that all the documents with this problem are using styles for outlining. Heading 1-7 provide the outline I., A. 1). etc. The last crash that just occurred happened when I selected a point at the end of a sentence in the outline and then hit return to put it on a new line. It crashed the app and crashed the OS.

UPDATE: Ok, I was just able to reproduce the crash. It occurred when I selected a portion of a sentence in a Styled Outline and hit return to move the remaining text to a new line. It crashed the app and the OS. Illustrated below:

THIS IS WHAT MY DOCUMENT LOOKS LIKE:

I. <Heading Style 1>

   A. <Heading Style 2>

       1. <Heading Style 3> Here is an example line of text. [**I PLACED MY CURSOR HERE AND PRESSED RETURN TO PUT THE REMAINING TEXT ON A NEW LINE. THE APP AND IOS CRASHED**] Another example of a line of text.

I hope that someone can help me. As of now, the Word for iPad app is unusable to me. I was able to duplicate the crash with the "Send Crashes to Microsoft" setting to "On" in the General Settings. It occurred around 7:30pm MST, 6/4/14. Thanks.

How can I assign a key to a macro that is already used for something I don't need?

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:47 PM PDT

How can I assign a key to a macro that is already used for something I don't need? I want to use F2 and F3 for two very short macros, ones that I created and used in XP, but I can't get them to work in Windows 8 because those keys are already assigned to things I don't use.  Can I delete their defaults and make them what I want them to do?  What I'm trying to do is make highlighted text red when I hit F2 and F3 makes highlighted text black. I'm using Office/Word 2013 with Windows 8 on a desk top.  I know I could put it in the Quick Access Toolbar but I prefer a keystroke.  I also tried Alt+b for black but that did not work either.  That does not show up as being assigned but it seem to be formatting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

WINDOWS 7...LINE SPACING

Word 2007 does not update fields or linked data when printing

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:03 PM PDT

At one time, Word 2007 would automatically update fields and linked data. I set up a large collection of documents that would pull information from other documents and from Word's document properties, and having the updates performed automatically was a great time saver.

A few years ago, both options stopped working, so now, every time I want to print a set of documents, which often include more than a hundred files, I have to manually update the fields.

Our IT department said this is a known problem associated with a Windows service pack, but I'm not sure.Is that true? Is there some way to restore those functions?

I believe these are the correct settings:
