Microsoft Word - Pasting (Crtl+V) Inserts a Blank Space

Microsoft Word - Pasting (Crtl+V) Inserts a Blank Space

Pasting (Crtl+V) Inserts a Blank Space

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 02:45 PM PDT

When I want to replace a blank space with the contents of the clipboard Word is NOT replacing the space, even though it is selected.  For example:

(A) Text

I want to replace the space between the ) and the letter T with the contents of the clipboard, using  Crtl+V.  I select the blank space, do the insert and the blank space is back.

Also, when I double click on a word followed by punctuation and drag that word to another place in the document, Word inserts a space after the text that is selected.  There is no space withing the selection.

I KNOW it's buried in the Options setup in Word 2010 but I can't seem to find it and now it's all a blur!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Bob Weaver

Content Control Alignment in Repeating Section Content Controls (bug or by design)

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 01:31 PM PDT

In a Word 2013 document insert a 3 x 3 table

In row 1 add "XX" to each cell

In row 2 add plain text CCs to each cell

Select the table and set cell text alignment to right

All is well

Select row 1 and insert a repeating section CC.  Add a new section and notice the text in the new section is also right aligned.  This is good.

Select row 2 and insert a repeating section CC.  Add a new section and notice that for some incomprehensible reason the new section is left aligned.

Is this a bug or by design?  If design, for what possible reason?

Content controll autopopulate

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 12:46 PM PDT

I have a four page form designed in word 2013.  Each page has an address field that is filled out on the first page.  I'd like to type in the address on the first page and have it autopopulate the other three pages with the same address.  The only way that seems to halfway work is adding legacy form fields (I can't get the content control fields to do what I want).  I then print preview to get all the fields to update.  The problem is when I save to or export to pdf the field data will not show or print.  What is the best way to do this so that the new data will print on a saved pdf file?

Word 2013 is no good for serious layout

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 11:14 AM PDT

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone else has been having any of the same issues. I have just lost 3 hours' work due to consistent crashes in Word with the last crash destroying the file on which I was working (thanks Word!). I am trying to create an infographic resume using SmartArt, Shapes, and Textboxes but Word cannot seem to handle the load and crashes on save.

I am now utterly fed up with Word and am going to use a proper tool (InDesign) to get the job done right. Will then export to PDF and find a way to convert that to DOCX. It is a real pity that Word is not up to the task, InDesign is total overkill for such a small project. Maybe in the next version of Word?

Cheers...

Macro to convert date format in a document?

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 10:58 AM PDT

I want a macro to convert date format so that "11/5/2011", for example, or "11/05/2011" would become  "11 May 2011".

Instead the macro I'm trying out gives me the following:

11/5/2011 should be 11 May 2011 but instead I get 5 November 2011
12/5/2011 should be 12 May 2011 but instead I get 5 December 2011
13/5/2011 should be 13 May 2011 but instead I get 13 May 2011
14/5/2011 should be 14 May 2011 but instead I get 14 May 2011

The macro code is given below, and I would be most grateful if someone can tell me how to correct it.

Sub ConvertDateFormat()

    Dim FoundOne As Boolean

    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove

    FoundOne = True ' loop at least once

    Do While FoundOne ' loop until no date is found

        With Selection.Find

            .ClearFormatting

            .Replacement.ClearFormatting

            .Text = "([0-9]{1,2})[/]([0-9]{1,2})[/]([0-9]{4})"

            .Format = True

            .Forward = True

            .MatchWildcards = True

        End With

        Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceNone

        ' check that the find is a date

        If IsDate(Selection.Text) Then

            Selection.Text = Format(Selection.Text, "d MMMM yyyy")

            Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd

        Else ' not a date - end loop

            FoundOne = False

        End If

    Loop

End Sub

I would also like to check how I should alter the code to give me a version of the macro that does not loop but simply finds the next date, so that I would then click the macro's button each time to execute and go to next. This would be useful in cases where I prefer to check each instance rather than just run the macro for the full document.

My regional settings in Windows (8.1) are as follows:

Language: English (South Africa)

Short date: yyy-MM-dd

Long date: dd MMMM yyyy

Find multiple letters in Word

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 08:05 AM PDT

I'd like to be able to find (i.e. have Word highlight) the letters k, kh, g, gh. 

For example in the following words:

kat khan get sorghum

I'd like only those specified letters to be highlighted:

kat khan get sorghum

Is there any way to do this?  It looks like it might be possible with complicated wildcard entries but maybe only for individual words?

Many thanks.

Office 2007 and 8.1

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 06:39 AM PDT

Office 2007 has been running great up until recently.  Word logo displays with cursor turning, never bring up program.  Seems to always happen when updates are applied.  I usually do a recovery to earlier windows update and then it will work.  now outlook is starting.  I know your trying to make money and have everyone update, But I have been buying package upgrade or new versions, staring way back in the early windows days.  Enough is enough, now that I am retired,

$ is tight.  I downloaded Open systems package that is free, but I prefer office. 

I present looking at the new surface that was just release for my granddaughter, for college, Is she going to have these same problems????

We can not continue to ignore the people out here.  if you say its compatible, then make it.  Its getting old.

I need help.

Thank you

Joe

office 2013 is not opening

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 02:29 AM PDT

I recently bought a new acer aspire V7 and had installed office home and student 2013 at the retailer. All went smooth and fine while using it for the first time. But when I went to open  a new document or open a saved file it doesnt open. This is seen on word, excel, powerpoint and one note. And this is only after three days of installation. The system runs on windows 8.1. If anyone can please provide a solution it would be of great help. Another point to be noted is that it does not provide any information as to why and how it is not working. I would be really happy if anyone could respond as soon as possible to this question.

Cross reference to section with standard page number appears in roman numerals

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 11:36 PM PDT

Greetings,

I have no idea why this is happening, but when cross referencing to a specific section in my document which has standard, arabic numerals in the footer e.g. 112, the page number in the cross reference comes out as roman numerals "(see p.cxii)".

This issue is only with one section. Cross references to other sections in the document come out fine (standard arabic numerals).

(Platform: Word 2010 on Windows 7 Pro)

Much obliged to any advice that can resolve this issue!

Word 2013

Hiya

Word 2013 suddenly stopped working. All other programs are running fine. Word had been fine till yesterday but now won't open at all. Nor can I repair or uninstall the program. I had a long session with the answer tech folk which resulted in a support sales pitch. help please. John

Cross-reference styles

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:40 PM PDT

When I insert a cross-reference the reference is inserted with its style. I know how to modify the C-R field to change the case (e.g., in an endnote), but often the point size of the page no., bookmark, heading, etc. is different from the text where the C-R is being inserted.  How do I control this, so the C-Rs can be updated without changing the styles.

Unprotected a document without the password?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 04:11 PM PDT

So, I password protected a document forever ago. And, low and behold, I forgot the password. All I need is a free (or super cheap) option that will find the password for me. I have googled for hours looking for an answer but it's either too expensive, or will take over 2 months. Solutions?
