Microsoft Word - How to stop bubbles that announce supposed language changes in Track Changes?

How to stop bubbles that announce supposed language changes in Track Changes?

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 02:26 PM PDT

I am reviewing a document that was written in US English.  I changed the proofing language to UK English.   Now the spell checker only points out existing words with US English spelling.  Therefore, it looks like UK English applies to the whole document.

However, balloons that say "Formatting: UK English" appear below every comment.

In addition, in some sections but not everywhere, "Formatting: UK English" balloons also accompany text changes.

Since I would like changes in format to be tracked, Formatting is checked under Show Markup.   

I would appreciate answers to two questions:

  1. Why does UK English not appear to be accepted throughout the document?  That is, what causes the bubbles to appear?  The entire document should already be using UK English.
  2. How do I get rid of the "Formatting: UK English" bubbles?

Thank you for whatever insights you can offer.

Problem using hyperlinks on Microsoft Works 9

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 12:28 PM PDT

I am using Microsoft Works 9 to do an assignment for work. I am producing a bibliography on the word processor which uses hyperlinks. The links to the relevant websites are all on there and I am able to control and click on them. The weird thing is that the only way that I can get the internet to open up and show the hyperlink is by clicking once on the live search box in the top right corner of the screen. This is very annoying and odd. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can simply control and click on the hyperlink and the relevant webpage appears? 

MS Word 2013, outline view defaults corrupted

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 12:09 PM PDT

I am using office 2013 with windows 7 pro 64 bit.  I have a file that I use almost always in outline view.  Now, for whatever reason when I switch it to outline view, the type size on the screen is too small to read.  In draft view, text that is 12 point font when switched to outline view is not even readable.  It looks like font size 3 or 4 point.  And if I start a new blank document, the same thing happens.  I can type in 12 pt in draft view, then switch to outline view and the text is unreadable.  I have tried reformatting the list using the multi-level list feature with no success.

How can I fix this?

Does anyone (MVPs?) know if now the issues with master/sub documents might be ironed out in 2013 version?

Is it possible to turn off "Link to Previous" by default?

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 09:57 AM PDT

Is there a way to change this default setting?  For my purposes, I never want the header to link to the previous header.

VBA Word won't save if box is copied in

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 08:28 AM PDT

I have searched the net for this solution and haven't found anything yet.  I have a VBA program that automates assembly of Word 2010 documents from other docs using mostly copy/pasting and bookmark insertions.  (Windows 7 Enterprise) All of a sudden, one template won't save after copying in from another document.  Here is the code that errors:

'get starting doc w macro (styletemplate)  Set mydoc = wrd.Documents.Open(strformattemplate, False, False)   'this is the base doc with styles - this save works fine   mydoc.SaveAs2 filename:=strNewName,FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled    'here's our skeleton  this is what we want to copy in  Set skel = wrd.Documents.Open(skelpath)  Set rangetocopy = skel.Range(0, skel.Bookmarks("\endofdoc").End)  rangetocopy.copy ' copy to clipboard  'copy in the skeleton and close it  Set workingrange = mydoc.Range(0, mydoc.Bookmarks("\endofdoc").End)  workingrange.Paste  mydoc.Save  'here's where it's failing  skel.Close False

What is happening is that at the second save the document won't save. There is an endless pop-up that appears and it won't save no matter what I do.  The user must abort everything at that point.  I want to emphasize that this code works fine on all other templates, it's just one that if fails.  I have isolated the piece that I am trying to paste in, and it appears to fail if one shape (a box that is an underline for a header) is included.  Boxes like this appear in the first page of each chapter, and all the other ones work fine.  I am totally stumped!  Any help or guidance would be MUCH appreciated!!!

How do I stop a graphic from moving into the header when I move it to the top of the page?

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 08:14 AM PDT

In Word 2010, I have created headers and footers with 1-inch margins. While working in the main body of the document, if I try to move a graphic that is part of the main body to just below the margin, it pops into the header, even though the header isn't open. I can't figure out why it does this or how to make it stop. I haven't seen this problem listed elsewhere and I haven't had this problem before.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Save Word 2013 document with 2010 compatiblity

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 05:41 AM PDT

Hello,

how can I save Word 2013 document so that it can be opened in Word 2010 and have the same layout? That is, how do I turn on compatibility mode for document that is not using it?

The section Word Options | Advanced | Compatiblity options for: is empty. I guess that's what I am looking for to change.

Thanks,

Jan

Hidden Text - How to restrict view

Posted: 26 Jul 2014 05:30 AM PDT

I am working in a mail merge document (Excel is the data source).  On the merge form I hid specific text (it is in its own section) that I never want others to see after completion of the mail merge. Basically, I do not want individuals to view the hidden text.  Is there a way to protect the document section and still allow others to make edits on the rest of the document?  Once others complete edits, etc.  I would like to be able to view the document in its entirety.

Word 2007 - Visual Basics on a Protected document

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 07:31 PM PDT

First, I am a beginner at this whole Visual Basics and Marcos tool on Word. So I apologize in advance if I am using the wrong term.

I created a form in Word 2010 using Visual Basics.

After creating the form, I realized there are a few in our office that still use Word 2007.

So I re-created the form in 2007.

I want to be able to run the visual basic macros while the document is protected.

It works in 2010, but in 2007.

Anyone have a solution??

Greatly appreciate the assistants!

This document is locked by another user!

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 07:19 PM PDT

Okay, so I have Word 2013. I've been trying to write a book, but for some reason it repeatedly removes all my changes and spits out this error message, "This document is locked for editing by another user," even if I've copied the whole book, pasted it in another document, and haven't opened it on any other device/word processor. And, for some reason, whenever I am to look at it on Word Online, I find the document there, with all my changes, even though I edited it in the desktop version!

What's going on?

format problem?

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 05:32 PM PDT

I've solved a couple of problems here before and so, after more than a few hours of trying to solve another one which, I am fairly certain, is a simple-answered problem, I will turn to it, once again. I had Microsoft Word 1997-2003 but changed to office 4.0.1 a while back and this particular problem stems from a manuscript that is 22 chapters long and which the first 75 or so pages are formatted correctly at .076 or 3/4" margins but the remainder are still the original .50, or 1/2". So, I tried to (re) format a page from scratch and then put the whole 375 pages on, 22 stories. The first 5 stories remained (re) formatted perfectly but when I got to the sixth story all the way to the last, every page, was still formatted at the previous margins of 50, or 1/2". Does anyone have any answer, I've tried a lot of stuff but none of it seems to work.
