Spell Checking a specific section in a MS Word Form

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 03:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a Word Form with multiple sections. 

The macro that contains the code below is used in a Macro Button.  It works perfectly in spell checking the entire document. 

Is it possible to modify it to limit the spell checking process to the current section of a document?

Thank you

-------------------------

Sub SpellCheck()


' If document is protected, Unprotect it.
   If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
      ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
   End If

   ' Set the language for the document.
   Selection.WholeStory
   Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
   Selection.NoProofing = False

   ' Perform Spelling/Grammar check.
   If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then
      ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar
   Else
      ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling
   End If

   ' ReProtect the document.
   If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then
      ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _
         NoReset:=True
   End If
End Sub

Word for iPad print unavailable

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 03:01 PM PDT

I have a network printer which I connected to other apps (specifically the HP eprint app, which doesn't allow OneDrive connection for some reason...).

here's my problem: the Print option doesn't even appear. The file option has two small circular arrows on it, and it gives options to autosave, view file properties, but not printing.

Do I need to set up my printer there somehow? How do I do that?

Thanx for the help!

Make watermark visible through images

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 01:37 PM PDT

Hey folks,

Does anyone here have a clue on how I could make my watermark visible through pictures in my document? As there are quite a few of them, it is almost never fully visible. This does look somewhat inelegant.

All answers are appreciated! Thank you!

Printing/Showing only the Outside the Border marker in word 2010

Word 2010 - F11 Key

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 11:24 AM PDT

Hi there.  I hope someone can help me.

I have just had a new PC with Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2010 installed. On previous PCs and versions of Word I have always been able to use the F11 key to navigate around text forms fields inserted within documents.  As this is a considerable amount of my work, I was somewhat dismayed to find I can no longer do this with the latest version.  In fact I can't find any other shortcut to get from one text form field to another without taking my hand off the keyboard and clicking on it!  When I looked in the Word Help instructions it says the F11 key function is 'next form field' but it isn't!

Is there any way I can change the functionality of the F11 key please?  At the moment it has the function of pausing or slowing down my transcription software by 50%, which is the most useless function I could possibly have.... and of course I keep pressing it by mistake thinking I can go to the next form field.  Very infuriating!

Thank you in advance. I hope the answer is not too technical as I'm not very good with that sort of thing :(

Export from Word to CSV

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 09:45 AM PDT

I have a Word document containing requirements that I want to import into RMsis that will only accept CSV files. The first row of the CSV must contain column headings. The native Word Save As options do not include CSV so I'm thinking that I need to get the text into Excel and save from there as CSV.

Can you advise?

Multiple Copies - different Footers

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 08:49 AM PDT

I have searched and cannot find what surely is something other people want to do.

I have a simple document in word (2010, but I guess would be similar for all?)

I want to print two copies of the same 1 page document - but with one labelled "Customer copy" and one labelled " Sales copy", ideally in the footer

I can of course do this by printing one copy, editing footer and then printing another copy, but there must be a simpler way?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

TIA

VB script to open form as copy or to save as copy

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 08:12 AM PDT

Hello,

I have created a userform in MS Word 2013;  I found the instructions on youTube. What happens is when you open the form a popup box appears where you type in information.  That information goes into specified areas in the form.  It works great with one major exception.  I don't want the user to be able to save information to the original form.  I want them to either, save as copy or  open form as copy. 

If I save the form as a template, I lose the popup box that appears at opening.     Is there a way to do this?  Have a copy of the form appear when the user opens the original?  Or where the user can print and/or save as? 

Thank for any help

Need to reinstall Word

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 06:37 AM PDT

The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.

This message was received on a friend's computer after somebody kindly:

Updated their laptop from XP to Windows 7 (Home, 32).  They copied various folders to 'Old Windows' including Microsoft Office/Office 12/1033 etc. and I suppose they thought it might be possible to restore Word from there.  But clicking on Winword in the Office 12 folder gives the above so clearly my friend needs to do a proper installation.  Trouble is that she doesn't have the CD or a product key - thinks maybe Office was installed on computer when she got it?  Is there anything she can do?

Word 2013 - Texture Fill Word Art

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 05:55 AM PDT

I publish a weekly newsletter for work.  They have upgraded to Word 2013 and I am unable to fill my word art with a texture fill.  Now, I am not talking about the BACKGROUND of the word art...but the ACTUAL letters themselves.  This is a VALUABLE feature to me...and it seems to have been deleted from Word 2013.

Is there a way of doing this?

Also, if I save my newsletter template as "compatible", I lose all of the details such as beveled text boxes, etc.

Large white border on custom paper

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:49 AM PDT

I'm having trouble printing from Word and would appreciate if anyone can help me! Having set a Word document to print on a custom-sized paper a thick white border, about 2cm deep, appears at the top and the bottom of the document. The document is the same size as the custom paper. The border isn't affected by changing the margin sizes and there is no guttering. If I convert the document into pdf than the white border can be removed by choosing the "fit" option and it prints normally as a "fit" pdf. The printer manufacturer, Canon, says it is a Microsoft issue rather than an issue with the printer. Any help much appreciated!

Word 2007 - There was a problem sending the command to the program

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:42 AM PDT

I have Windows 7, Office 2007. When I click on a .doc or .docs file I receive a message "There was a problem sending the command to the program" I have verified and reinstalled my printer. I have right clicked on a .doc or .docx file and set the default program to Microsoft Word, and clicked always use this program to open with.

It works once for that file, then the next file gets the same error.

File/Print changes footer

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 04:34 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a Word 2010 document into which I have placed footers. I needed the filepath and page number, so I inserted a two-column table into the footer. I inserted the filename field into the left-hand column and the page number field into the right-hand column. I then removed the table borders. This works fine in a number of documents I have made. In a couple of documents, however, when I click on File/Print to preview them, the page numbers have disappeared. Returning to view the document by clicking on the Home tab, I find that the table and page number has vanished, just leaving the file name. I've spent several hours trying to work out why this is happening, with no success. Can anyone suggest anything?

Many thanks!

Launching Word from eMail client bypasses password protection.

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 03:01 AM PDT

I received an MS Word file (docx format) as an attachment. The file was passord-protected, with the password supplied in a separate e-mail.

Using Thunderbird e-mail client under Windows 7 I launched the file in Word by double-clicking on the attachment icon.

The file opened and displayed the full contents without any prompt for the password.

(Saving the file to my computer and opening it from Word triggered the password prompt as expected.)

The way Thunderbird deals with opening an attachment is to write the file to a systems temporary folder, and to call the helper application associated with that file type.

In other words, Thunderbird invokes Word and Word gets the file from the temporary systems folder.

Apparently Word bypasses its own security when a file is launched in this way.

This happens with Word 2007 and Word 2010.

The whole point of sending password-protected files by e-mail is that anyone intercepting the file should not be able to open it without the password.  That is not the case!

This would appear to be a security bug!

HOWEVER

(Edited after more testing.)

I can't get this to happen if I send myself a password-protected document created in Word 2007 or 2010.

I'm baffled.  Is there something about the specific document format that causes this behaviour?  (I don't know which version of Word was used to create the offending document.)

Word AutoFormat Error: Places 1 letter per line

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 01:52 AM PDT

I am trying to format my document into 2 columns. When I highlight the text needed to go into columns, it gives most of it in a column. Then it decided to put the rest as having 1 letter per line, as shown in the screenshot. What is going on and why? How do I fix it?

Can I mix and match long and short edge printing in the same document?

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 11:36 PM PDT

I'm printing a document which has both A4 and A3 pages within it. I want to print the document both sides with the A4 pages flipped on the long edge and the A3 on the short edge. Is this possible? I don't really want to split the A3 and A4 into two separate docs.

Desperate: page number updating

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 09:18 PM PDT

I had this problem once before (12-09-2013). I asked here and one of you wrote:

Even if you Select All (Ctrl-A) and press F9, your cross-references might not update

depending on how you add new headings to your document. Cross-references break

if you add a new paragraph to your document by pressing Enter at the beginning of

a referenced (usually numbered) heading. !!!! To prevent this, you must add new

paragraphs by pressing Enter at the end of the previous paragraph. For example, if

you have a section in your document numbered 5.2.6 and it's already referenced earlier

in your document, don't press Enter where the x is below.... 5.2.6 x Heading Title Press

Enter at the end of the line before this section. This is counter-intuitive in practice, but

essential to preserving accurate cross-references as your document grows.

I must have forgotten about this warning and added a paragraph the wrong way. So now I

have this same problem but worse. When I delete a cross-ref and re-enter it, the page #

seems to be OK but if I do F9, it becomes wrong. Updating page number cross-refs

is broken even for docs that used to work and ones predating the first occurrence!

Probably has something to do with the Template. ?? Is there a way to remove the'

template (or the equivalent, such as fixing it or messing with the Registry) without removing

the styles I've assigned? (My macros can be re-entered.)

I assume there is no way to undo the wrongly entered new paragraph.

Even re-entering every cross ref (I have hundreds) would be better than the mess I'm faced with now.

Gratefully,

Steve Gray

Need to make odd/even page headers

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 06:41 PM PDT

I'm working with Office 2007 Word and I need to make odd/even page headers that center the file name and put page numbers on the outside margin.  I've found headers with 3 text fields but they don't automatically put in the page numbers.  I need them to look something like this:

odd page:          325 (left aligned)           File name (center aligned)

even page:          File Name (center aligned)              326 (right aligned)

I haven't found a single header under Building blocks that have just those two fields without anything else.  I even tried using Plain Number 1 and 3 put you can't center the file name separately from the page number.  Is there a way to build my own and include them in Building Blocks Organizer?

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 06:33 PM PDT

Hi. I'm getting my hard drive replaced so I'll need to re-install Word 2010, but I can't find the CD I bought four years ago. Is there a way to recover my product key so I don't have to buy Word again? 

If providing instructions here, PLEASE give simple, exact step-by-step instructions. I do not have an IT background. Thanks.

Doc files not opening

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 04:06 PM PDT

Suddenly I cannot open doc or docx files from explorer. Word 2013 opens fine from the start menu and I can open files from within word. When I try to open from explorer the "save as" file window opens.

When I try and open an xlsx file from explorer the "save as" window opens and I get an error message "There was a problem sending the command to the program.  Excel opens fine from the start menu.

Strangely "Open Office" files will open word from explorer....

I checked file associations and reset my computer - what's next?

Windows 8.1 File Explorer Preview Pane not working for Office

Posted: 15 Jun 2014 02:24 PM PDT

When activating the Preview pane in File Explorer, Excel and Word documents will not appear in the Preview Pane. Other file types, such as .pdf and .gif files work just fine. I am using Office 365.

Any ideas?
