Microsoft 2013 Office suite issues- Error Code -1610612703-4

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 12:41 PM PDT

I tried accessing Word but I got the "Something went wrong" message. I thought it was my computer so I decided to do a reboot and the samething happened. I then tried accessing the other programs of the 2013 Mircosoft Office suite  but the same thing happened with all of them.

I followed through with the instructions given and got the same error code as everyone else.

Help Please!

Microsoft Office (Word and Excel) not opening as of yesterday, please help!

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 12:37 PM PDT

I saw a previous post stating that we must all post our own issue so that we can have a direct message sent to us to fix it.  I have tried a couple of times yesterday and today to open previously created excel and word documents and have received the following messages:

There was a problem sending the command to the program.

When I exit out of that box, I get a message that says:

Office is busy.

We're sorry, excel.exe can't be used right now because office is busy.  We're either updating or helping you add or remove programs.  

You can try using excel.exe after we're done.  It shouldn't take long.

Please help, I am trying to create cover letters and send in job applications.

Thanks!

Word keeps prompting me that changes have been made to the global template - have tried all steps listed but none work

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 09:32 AM PDT

When I exit Word 2013 (using Windows 8) I get a message that changes have been made to the global template, and a prompt to save or discard them.  

I have found guidance on this issue online, most of which directs me to disable add-ins in Word.  However, I have no active add-ins (I checked by clicking the two Add-ins options on the Developer tab.  I also checked the Startup folder at C -> Users -> Andrew -> AppData --> Roaming --> Microsoft - Word --> Startup and the folder is empty .

Any other guesses as to what might be the culprit?  I just ran a full system scan using my Norton AntiVirus software and it didn't come up with anything.

Spell checker not working in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 08:56 AM PDT

Hello,

I am having trouble with the Word spellchecker. It's Word 2013 run on Windows 8. I've never had trouble with it before, but today I've found it won't work on any document. I've tried unchecking the "do not check spelling and grammar" box, and downloading the dictionaries that are listed as "not installed", but it hasn't worked.

Any tricks?

Thanks,

Sam

Office Won't Open

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:51 AM PDT

We recently purchased Microsoft office  with Word 2013.  It has worked until a couple of days ago.  When I try to use it it says:

There was a problem sending the command to the program.

Then another box says:

Office

Something went wrong.

We couldn't start your program.  Please try starting it again.

If it won't start try repairing Office from Programs and Features in the control panel.

I tried repairing it, but it said I needed a disk which I don't have since it was just downloaded online.

I don't know if other parts of Office are working.

Rtf file works in Word 2007 but not in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 06:10 AM PDT

A client sent me an rtf document to edit. When I use Word 2007, there is no problem. But when I try to use Word 2013, all the apostrophes (and the letter next to the apostrophe) as well a number of the quotation marks are changed to Chinese characters or question marks. Some of the sentences are broken up and divided into random paragraphs with letters missing and spaces added.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening. The file is fine in Word 2007 (I checked) but not Word 2013.

I greatly appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me.

Thanks

Is it possible to create a Header and Footer Template that will be available to choose from the list of pre-made Header and Footer drop-down list options every time I use Microsoft Word?

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 03:59 AM PDT

I am trying something out for our invoices at work. Currently when we save them from our accounts system they are in PDF format and I want to convert them into Microsoft Word to be able to add our Company Logo. However as this will be done on a regular basis I want to know if there is a way I can create a Header and Footer 'template' that will be available to select from the list of pre-made options every time I use Microsoft Word to quickly add the information and Logo I require.

Keep Text Only option of Cut, Copy Paste not working

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 03:36 AM PDT

I have my default paste option set to keep source formatting for cut / copy paste within a document.

I have noticed that when I use the Paste smart tag to change from this default, match destination formatting works fine, but keep text only does not.

Keep text only is working in the same way as match destination.

Example, two paragraphs of text. One paragraph set to red font. Second paragraph set to blue font, italic. The document default is black font by the way.

When I copy the blue italic paragraph and paste it at the end of the first (red) paragraph, initially it shows blue italic. When I use the smart tag to choose Keep Text only, I expect the pasted paragraph to be black font, no italic. It comes out red, no italic.

I tried setting my default option to Keep text Only but it makes no difference. I have tried this on many different documents, with many different format combinations, it always pastes like match destination even if I say Keep Text Only.

I have also tried this on a test account to see if it was my personal Word settings that were wrong, and the test account behaves the same as mine.

This problem only seems to have started after an upgrade to Windows 7 from XP.

Any ideas please?

thanks KK

Word2010: Document Skewing PLEASE HELP

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 02:54 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you can shed some light on a NIGHTMARE I'm having with MS Word 2010.

Everytime I open a document on my computer the tables are skewed and aligned to the right.

On ALL other computers this is not the case and the tables are aligned centrally.

I can align the margins manually, but when I save and exit the document, the skewing returns.

I have "repaired" MS word to it's default settings.

I have deleted and created a new template (norm.doc ?).

I've checked my printer and driver settings and all are okay.

I have checked the margins and paper sizing.

I really have no idea what else to try...  Have any of you seen this?  As I said, the document appears FINE one every other computer, except this one...

Thanks in advance...

Cheers.

Excel table has engulfed all text in a document

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 01:45 AM PDT

This morning I had a 74 page document. I added an appendix in the form of an Excel table by pasting it below a new heading. When I saved the document all of the previous 74 pages disappeared. When I open the document now it says there are only 4 pages (the table). When I highlight the heading it says there are 10690 words in the title. If I delete the table from the document the heading no longer has the 10690 words in it. and only the 10 words of the title remain. How did this happen and how do I get my document back?

Not original file

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 12:37 AM PDT

Let say i download a word/excel file from a web or some one give me a word/excel file from pendrive. I view it & use it as a template. I don't worry if the source of the file from the original MS Office. but if that file created not using the original MS Office, is it will effect my office & OS license?

Serious problem in documents with track changes: text disappearing, formatting haywire, etc.

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 12:03 AM PDT

I am encountering serious bug-type problems in Word 2013 on both my laptop (Windows 8.1) and my desktop computer (Windows 7). It seems to happen only when I work with documents that have a lot of track changes. At first, only text in the comment bubbles were affected—the left quarter of the text was cut off. Then more problems started happening. The cursor wasn't lining up correctly with the text both in the comment bubbles and in the regular document text. Then formatting went haywire. Nothing was where it should be and the font size enlarges 5 times. Now, large sections of text are gone and entire pages are blank. In the latest 33-page document I'm working on, every single page has gone blank. If I close it and open it again, things seem normal until I start working with it and something sets it off and it goes nuts again—for example, if I start working with automated table of contents, spell check, or track changes in general.

It doesn't matter if I select all markup, simple markup, or no markup views. Shutting down Word (and even shutting down my computer) doesn't help. Reverting back to restored versions of the document doesn't help, either—the problem then begins to happen in previous restored versions even though it wasn't happening when I was working on those previous versions. I had a couple of add-in programs, which I've since uninstalled. Uninstalling those add-in programs has not made any difference. If anything, the problem has worsened. The only thing that works is switching to my husband's computer which has Word 2007. The document goes back to normal and is in perfect shape.

This problem has happened to me with the last three documents I've worked on in the past two weeks (July 2014). I only started working with Word 2013 in early June 2014 and I hate it. I'm usually an early adopter and can adapt easily to change, but this is not working for me at all. I am an editor and I depend on Word every day for my job. It's infuriating that I purchased this thinking it would be an improvement. I can't function professionally with this problem.

Other problems I've encountered with track changes in Word 2013: 1) Comment bubbles that are attached to deleted text don't appear in Word 2013 but they appear in other versions of Word. This is a major problem if clients are seeing comments that I can't see. 2) It's difficult to see exactly where a change has taken place, even in the All Markup view—there is simply a dotted line hanging over the text that turns solid over the spot where a change has taken place. It's ridiculous and nearly impossible to notice.

Open Word 2010 documents in a separate process as default.

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 09:08 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a requirement related to developing a word 2010 add in which creates ActiveX controls like buttons. On clicking of button , a modal UI is opened onto which user can enter data. But whenever modal UI is displayed, I can't open or access other word documents. Then I found out that if I open each document in a separate process, my problem is solved.

Is there any solution to open each word document as a separate instance by default?

Thanks

How to get rid of annoying "Click-to-run configuration failure"

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 07:50 PM PDT

Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I installed Office 2013 a year ago.  I have set the default program to open Word and Excel files to the 2013 version.

However, when I try to open a Word file from Explorer I get the "Click-to-run configuration failure".  I can right click the file, and choose Word 2013, and it will open fine.  I have to right click and choose even if Word 2013 is open.

For Excel, if I try to open a file from Explorer, I get a message that "There was a problem sending the command to the program".  Then a popup box comes up saying that the specified program does not exist.  There is an error code 463604A-0B211004-00000A09.

I can open the file with Excel 2013 by right clicking on the file and choosing Excel 2013.  Once 2013 is open, the files will open with the program OK.

How can I get these programs to open the files automatically?

Letterheads in Word - two questions

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 06:43 PM PDT

I have two questions about letterheads in Word 2010. 

1. for years I've had my letterheads in a file (doc and docx).  To write a letter with my letterhead, I open the letterhead doc, "save as" with a new name, and then write the letter.  (I have more than one copy of the letterhead file because from time to time I forget to save as a new name, and overwrite the letterhead.)  I was told that a better way to do it is with a template.  So I saved my letterhead as a dotx file.  But from my point of view, I have to do the same thing - open it, save as, etc.  Is there a better way to do a letterhead?

2. I want to insert a date in my letterhead file and have it "update automatically" to the current date when I use it.  But after I save it to a new file, I don't want it to update the date if I read that file in - I want it to keep the original date.  Is there an easy way to do that?

hyperlink "pasting from other programs"

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 06:15 PM PDT

I am pasting from another program containing hyperlinks and they get pasted even though I have set "Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy, and Paste > Pasting from other programs:" to "Keep Text Only". I have also unchecked "Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat" and "AutoFromat As You Type" > "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks".

I know about Ctrl+Shift+F9, but that is aggravating.
