Page numbering in Windows 7 Professional

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 12:25 PM PDT

I am trying to format page numbers in Word in Windows 7 Pro.  In previous versions of Word, we used to set up a 3-part footer, with the page number appearing in the lower right-hand corner.  We could just type in the page number in the format we use, 1-2-3, with "3" being the page number; and all was good with the world.  I've spent over 2 hours trying to figure out how to do this in Windows 7 without jumping through hoops, and am at a complete loss.  Please help!

Take a tour

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:57 AM PDT

I have a user who bought MS Office 2013 Home and Student edition.

When they opened Word a small screen would appear, this was called "Take a Tour" and showed how to accomplish tasks.

This screen stopped showing up and the user would like it back again, any help would be appreciated.

When any of the other applications are opened, such as MS Excel 2013 the "Take a Tour" screen opens up as well.

What is the Best Approach for the Insertion of High Quality Drawings into a Word Document?

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:43 AM PDT

I am writing a book in Word, and it has fifty (50) or more drawing images.  

I have purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, for converting the hand-drawn images into pdf's (with text).

Upon insertion, I find two (2) issues present:

1.  The images are degraded.  (In Adobe Acrobat, I reduced the scanned images by 50% -- but they still look and print great from Adobe.)

2.  When I attempt to save the (Word) file after insertion of the pdf images from Adobe Acrobat, the ONLY way it can be saved is as a .pdf file -- so I'm confused.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Inserting a file without the inserted document losing its formatting

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:43 AM PDT

I tried to insert some documents into my Word 2007 report as appendices. However, the documents I was inserting didn't keep their original formatting. Is there any way around this, so that they stay just as they look when they stand independently?

Envelopes won't print.

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:39 AM PDT

 I have Microsoft 8.1 and an HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus.  I type letters with Word and Initially could print envelopes using the "mailings" feature.  After a few weeks, envelopes would only print intermittently.  Now envelopes won't print at all.

I've tried many suggestions from people on various sites.  I ran a piece of plain paper through to see if I had the envelope in the wrong place.  No print anyplace on the paper.  We re-installed the printer drivers, and that didn't help. 

This is not a problem of the printer not getting the message to print; it picks it up and runs it through, but out comes an envelope or a paper with no print, even though the preview pane shows that there will be an address and a return address. 

Micro Word

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:25 AM PDT

On micro word, somehow I messed up the top arrow key and when no push it "table" appears at the top of the screen and messes up my document. I can't backspace or make corrections, and also when I email the doc, there is a "H" in front of one my sentences that I can't delete. How can I get my arrow key back to normal and delete that H? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. 

Bulldog determination to get onto the Internet ...

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 09:13 AM PDT

I use a browser blocker (Freedom.com) to prevent distractions while I'm writing.  Too often, while I'm working on an MS Word document, I'll inadvertently hit the mouse's right-click button.  MS Word or my MacBook right away thinks I'm trying to access Word Help online.  But, of course, with the blocker on, I can't go online.  Nonetheless, MS Word or my MacBook insists on trying: the little "Hold On!" disks spins and spins, seemingly forever; meanwhile, I can't work.  The only solution I've found so far is to Force Quit the blocker and Restart.  Is there another – quicker! – way to let MS Word and my MacBook know I'm not interested in seeing Word Help and to quit trying to access the Internet? 

Text in tables automatically left justifies when the document is closed and opened

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 08:06 AM PDT

I have a Word 2007 document with several tables in it.  Each time I save the document with centered text within the tables, close it, and reopen it, the text within the tables becomes left justified.  I then have to tediously fix every table.  This only happens in the one document.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bullet and Number List

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 06:50 AM PDT

In Word 2010 when I create a bulletted or numbered list, I get "extra" parameters (seem like defaults) in the style description that don't reflect the actual bulleted/numbered style that I want created - how do I modify or delete these?

How to insert links to online pdf pages/bookmarks in Word

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 05:52 AM PDT

In Word 2013, I am trying to embed links like "http://xyz.com/doc.pdf#page=2". I find that Ctrl-clicking on such links in Word sends me to "http://xyz.com/doc.pdf%20-%20page=2"which leads to 404 page not found messages. And if I publish the document as a blog post to WordPress, using Word's built-in facility for blog publication, the "#page=2" part is completely removed.

My default browser is Chrome, which properly handles the links when directly pasted into the address bar.

Is there an easy fix? It looks like a bug to me.

Zoom only the text and not the images?

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 05:36 AM PDT

In several Word 2010 documents I use the Calibri text-font with size = 10 as the default body font which fits my needs for printouts of these documents.

However, as I use a 2560 x 1600 screen resolution on a 30" monitor, this text is too small for comfortable reading on the screen, so I use a 120% - 140% zoom in these Word documents.

However, when using this zoom factor, images inside the text always appear somewhat blurred, as they are zoomed too.

So my question is: Is there a setting in Word 2010 which zoomes only the text and not the images? (When using the Weblayout display mode).

I can't gain access to 2013 Home & Student Office to edit a document

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 04:44 AM PDT

Q&A:

Q:

Can you start Word and create a new document?  If you save that and close it and then re-open it, can you edit it?

In the case of the documents that are locked, from where did you get them?  Were they attached to an email message or downloaded from a website?

A: I have  two versions of Office : both are installed

1)  2007 Office was bought way back in a CD 

2)   Home & Student 2013  was bought around 6 months ago & downloaded  from Microsoft.com

 I use Windows 8.1.

When a PDF document is converted to Word.   With macro enabled,  I still cannot gain  access to edit the document .

Should I uninstall 2007  ?

Thanks,

Peter

Equation editor not working all of a sudden

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 03:13 AM PDT

Dear Sir/Mdm,

My equation editor 3.0 was working perfectly fine until last week, when I tried to open the editor. An error message comes out which shows

" The program used to create this object is Equation. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Equation or ensure that any dialog boxes in Equation are closed."

I have tried closing all documents and reopening the documents, as well as restarting my computer. I had scanned my computer to ensure that there is no malware which is causing this issue. However this issue still persists.

I have an important document which needs this equation function that is to be completed over the weekend and I sincerely hope that anyone can help to reply to it. THank you.

Regards,

Albert

Word 2013 navigation pane for Arabic headings

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 02:28 AM PDT

I am trying to view navigation pane for an Arabic document with headings,

the problem is:

- Arabic headings are right aligned

- Indents to show heading level in navigation panes are left aligned

- so all Arabic headings are shown right aligned with no indents.

This is very confusing as we cannot tell by looking what level is the heading

Back in Word 2010, headings in navigation pane were outlined with  box, making it easier to recognize levels.

Is there a way to right align the indents in the navigation pane for Arabic (best solution), or use outline boxes like Word 2010 style (at least)?

adding new icons to the "Rename" window

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 01:25 AM PDT

I have added a custom Ribbon to group my frequently used controls and macros, all good so far.

How can I add new icon images to the Rename window, so I can add the images (icons) I used to have in 2003 menu for my macros?

I have the images as 16x16 px BMP 8bit image files, which I believe is acceptable for the system, but I dont know how to add the new icon to the custom item in my group.

Cheers

Another Word Stopped working problem

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 01:01 AM PDT

I've been upgrading a number of machines to Office 2013, both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.  On some machines with some documents, Word stops with Even ID 1000.  Faulting module wwlib.dll. After office is updated the event log reports the same event ID, faulting module: Unknown.  I've been through Doug Robbins list of ever growing problems; disabled all add-ins, removed printer drivers, fully updated, safe mode, clean boot, repair, re install etc.  

The common factor is that all the problem machines either have or have had Adobe Captivate 7 installed.  I can replicate the issue by installing the Captivate 7 trial version on a clean build machine. Uninstalling Captivate is not a cure unless the machine can be restored to an earlier time pre Captivate

I accidentally discovered that Word will open these documents if the ribbon bar is minimized, Word will crash only when the "HOME" tab is selected. Digging further, if the ribbon bar is customized by removing by removing the "Styles" group the document can be opened and the  Home Tab selected.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated 

Word and PowerPoint stopped working when trying to save as

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 12:15 AM PDT

Hi, since a couple of days I have the problem that both PowerPoint and Word crash as soon as I choose "Save as". Or across all Office programs when I select "Change Picture". I've tried a couple of solutions I found on the web (repaired Office, deactivated add-ins, changed hardware acceleration), but those didn't really state saving as or changing a picture as the problem, so nothing helped accordingly.

When I start the programs in save mode though everything works fine.

Any ideas? I have Office 2013 Professional on Windows 7.

Thanks,

Nicole
