Microsoft Word - Sending a Word documents as an attachment to an Outlook e mail

Microsoft Word - Sending a Word documents as an attachment to an Outlook e mail

Sending a Word documents as an attachment to an Outlook e mail

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 02:37 PM PDT

When I attach a Word document that I have saved with track changes displayed within it to an Outlook e mail and then open the Word document from the e mail, the track changes have all been accepted and do not show up - so the e mail recipient would not easily see my changes. I can get around the problem by "sharing" the attachment in pdf form but I would rather send it in Word format with the track changes visible.  Any thoughts please?

forms

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 01:40 PM PDT

I am trying to design a fillable form in Word 2013 where certain words are static and can't be edited.   I would also like those "static" words to be anchored in their positions and not move while the form is being filled in.  Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Apply styles based on specific formatting

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 12:45 PM PDT

I have a word document with some styles. In some places in the document I didn't put styles. These places are well defined. I mean they all begin with '#' character. Is there any procedure that can help me to insert automatically a defined style just before all the occurrences of the named character?

thank you very much

Can't "Save As"

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 12:11 PM PDT

After a recent update, I have not been able to "save as" in word or excel.  When I try to "Save As" office closes.  

The page number disappears when I add footnotes and vice versa

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 11:48 AM PDT

I'm having weird problems with Word 2010.  When I try to add page numbers to a document , the same number appears on all pages. when I add a footnote , the number disappears. Add a number the footnote disappears. As crappy as Windows Millenium and XP were, I never had this problem with them. I've read (and tried to implement) EVERYTHING on page number problems and footnote problems that I could find and nothing works. 

What is left to try?

Major issue with Word 2010 on Windows 7 Acer laptop

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 09:32 AM PDT

I'm asking this question on behalf of my Mom.  She has an Acer laptop running Windows 7 (installed on the machine at purchase).  She installed Office 2010 Home Edition (purchased and installed with appropriate licenses).  Word will NOT work properly.  

If she launches the program, it will open and allow her to create a new document.  However, she cannot save it nor can she open an existing document.  She can't open existing documents from Word itself, from Windows Explorer, or from an e-mail attachment.  A document will sometimes open after about 2-5 minutes, but then will completely freeze the computer.  No editing can be done.  The computer is so frozen that even hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work and there is no choice but to hold down the power button to turn it off and reboot.  The same thing happens when trying to save a document.

Things we have tried:

She reinstalled office 2010 entirely (which sucked, b/c she wasted a site license doing this).

I ran the registry hot key fix that I found (deleting the Data and Options subkeys)

I forced Word to create a new Normal template

I tried starting in safe mode but I'm not sure it actually worked (it didn't say Safe Mode anywhere)

None of the above made one iota of difference.

She does not have this problem with Excel.  

Please, please, please help- this is just completely unacceptable.

Thank you.

Using Actions/Smart Tags in Word 2010 and 2013

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:55 AM PDT

HI All, 

I've recently tried to use Actions in Word 2010 and Word 2013. I've run into an interesting issue I don't understand. 

- enable Actions for a Person's Name

- type the Person's Name in the word Document

- right click and go to "Additional Actions" 

- Click on "Open Contact", "Email Contact" ..etc 

I get an error that says "Outlook cannot find the Contact Specified". 

I have no idea why this is happening; it is only happening for users that are part of my corporate directory. If I have the contact as a personal contact within Outlook it works perfectly! 

Question is why can I not do this for my corporate contacts?

Page One in a Word Document

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:03 AM PDT

Is there an easy way to number pages starting at the real Page 1 which does not include the title page, Table of Contents or other preliminary pages?

I have asked around, but even the secretaries at a major law firm have long been placing the title page and TOC at the end of the document to avoid the page number problem.

Is there any way to go to any page in a document and with no fuss make it Page 1?  The only method I have found requires several ridiculous steps including inserting page breaks and delinking headers.  This should be a simple task.

Thank you for any tips that might come my way.

To recover the Kyeboatd shortcut, WinKey + Arrow key to position document

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 08:00 AM PDT

This useful facility allows positioning the document on one side of the screen allowing space for another document to be shown on the other half. Files can then be easily transferred between them. The procedure was to reduce the document down and then applying the WinKey + left or right arrow key as required. I lost the facility following re-installation of W 8.1 and MS Office 2010.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Word 2013 Randomly Overflows and Deletes Paper

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 06:58 AM PDT

I'm starting to get irked by this Word feature where Word 2013 locks up and eats up the CPU and is in a continuous cycle to delete entire pieces of work with no user interaction and no way to stop its path of destruction.  The only way to stop its gluttony for eating my words is to end the process via task manager.  I have Office 2010 on my workstation and I have never had as many issues with any variant of MS Office in general with exception of MS Office 2013.  I increased the frequency of auto save and that cannot even keep up with Word's mass destruction of words.  I feel like I'm wasting my time.  Word.

Otherwise typing is faster!

Change Word default font settings

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 04:49 AM PDT

I have Microsoft Office 2010 installed on 2 desktop PCs and one netbook and want to change the font default settings. I've been through the procedure on all 3 computers to change the settings on All Documents.  The changes have been saved on one of the desktop pcs and the netbook but not on the second desktop. The same discs were used to install Office 2010 on all three computers and yet my desktop is the only one where the changes are not saved.  I've tried just about every method available to me to no avail.

Any suggestions

Microsoft office 2013 crashes upon closing a document

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 01:24 AM PDT

Hi all, 

I am after some advice on what to do..... 

I've just recently installed my microsoft office 2013 (completely legal), and every time when I go and close a document (clicking on the cross at the top right hand corner of the screen), the program crashes and restarts itself.... 

I haven't come across to this problem before, any ideas?

Thanks!

Numbered headings go nuts

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 11:03 PM PDT

Sorry, couldn't think of a concise description; and you'll see why.

Trying to put a songbook together. Mentioned this in my last post. I'm trying to use headings for the song titles so I can create a TOC (and maybe an index of first lines; but that's not working out so well for a number of reasons). The problems are numerous.

  1. When I redefine the heading (get rid of a negative left margin, for example), the definition does not populate throughout the document, even though I've hunted down every song title and applied the heading style to it.
  2. Headings renumber themselves. I'll find 11 where 96 should be, for example. This behavior has no discernible trigger and seems to happen randomly.
  3. When I reset the numbers, the style definition resets, which throws the number negative left again.

What do I have to do to convince these headings to retain their definition and their sequence numbers?

Thanks, all.

SHARE options not working on MS Office 365 for iPad

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 09:26 PM PDT

I purchased the MS Office 365 for iPad program yesterday. When attempting to send a saved Word document by email the "email as attachment" and "email as link" are not activated options under SHARE. Also, there is no option to save as an Acrobat document. "Copy as link" under SHARE works but I can't find where it's copied to.  

I have a gmail account. 

I spoke with two representatives at MS and both said they aren't trained to troubleshoot problems with the iPad version of the program. Neither were able to refer me to anyone else at MS who could assist me.  Does anyone have any solutions?

All pages are stuck on the same page number, word 2013

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 08:48 PM PDT

I'm typing a document with a lot of sections. With the first section, the page numbers went fine. I inserted a section break, and then page numbers. The first two pages look ok but then the rest of the pages are stuck on "2"! I tried updating the fields with F9, removing the page numbers and re-inserting, I even tried a round-about way to just start the numbering from "3" but then it skipped over to starting at "4". I should add that a few pages later, the document does decide to cooperate and picks up on the correct numbering. HELP!!

print dialog box does not show up

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 07:12 PM PDT

I am trying to print wedding invitations on Microsoft word using windows 8. The invitations came with the template to make them, I have edited it and made the invitation the way I want it. When I go to set the size of the paper it does not accept it, and when I try to print it by clicking on file , the print dialog box does not show up. The company has told me that if I click on file and that box should show up , so I can change the size settings for the invitations.  I have tried everything I know of and  have looked everywhere but with no success. Any help would be great. Thank you

Printing Issue with created fillable form

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 06:29 PM PDT

I created several fillable forms for our band camp.  

For some reason, some people are reporting they are not able to print one of the forms...yet others are able to print all the forms fine.

Any idea on why this would happen and how to troubleshoot it?

Is it on my end or on the end of the person trying to print with their settings or printer?  Would printing from a phone or tablet have any impact??

Collate/Export Data Collected from Drop-Down Forms (MS Word)

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 06:22 PM PDT

I have a multiple-page form, with a drop-down box on the bottom of each page.

Is there a way to either

  1. Automagically consolidate all of the answers from one respondent into a table somewhere? or
  2. Export all of the answers to an CSV or Excel file?

If YES how do I set it up in Word?

Thanks

Word 2010 Table Vertical Alignment - "Don't add space" anomaly

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 06:21 PM PDT

Hi,

I have noticed in a 3 column table that the vertical alignment in Col2 depends upon the para setting "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" of the paragraph style applied to the text in the cells of both columns 1 and 2.

I have a "table text" style in which I used 3pts before and after para spacing to make cell vertical spacing simple, and have applied the "center vertically and horizontally" table control to get everything central in the cells.  (This might be a workaround, but try as I might I can't understand table styles)

The text in column 1 sits exactly in the vertical centre of the cell, as I want.  But in next cell across (same row, column 2), if I set "don't add space ..." in the para properties of the table text style, then the text in that cell is displaced upwards by about 3pts, making the row look wonky. 

If I clear "don't add space ..." then the text in column 2 is aligned as per column 1 and the row looks nice. 

It would appear that Word sees the text in the second cell as being "directly after" that in the first cell,  and so suppresses the para spacing when that option is set.  I don't have a particular difficulty with the functionality in a body text setting, but in a table setting I had expected the "after" criteria to be strictly vertical, ie across a row boundary, instead of horizontal, across a column boundary. 

Either way it is a subtle effect that might be at the root of table layout difficulties for some users. 

Cheers

Office 2013: Search Recent Documents in Backstage

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 05:58 PM PDT

MS Office 2013/Windows 7 [Note: I have placed this under MS Word but this relates to any backstage environment]

All my documents are on a multitude of different SharePoint/One Drive locations.  I use have set up recent documents in office Office backstage to show the last 50 recent documents.  This is a massive productivity tool as I can now more easily find a document through Backstage rather than go looking for it on SharePoint sites.  However what would make this an even more productive activity is if there was some way to search the recent documents to filter documents based on some search result.

Use Case: I know I recently worked on a word document called [Proposal for Client X"].  I Open MS Word and go to recent documents where there is some some way I can quickly search for 'Client X' and the recent documents are filtered to only show those relevant documents.

At the moment I am having to visually locate by scrolling up and down the list looking for it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to accomplish what I am looking for in office backstage now?  Either natively or through some sort of additional add in (maybe from a desktop search/Through the upload centre?)

Regards,

Carmi

This is the worst product I've ever used.

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 04:39 PM PDT

When I first installed this program, it would freeze and crash every 10 minutes or so, or often, as I clicked "save." That seemed to work itself out for a while. Today, when I went to work on a very important project, the program refused to open. SO, I was prompted to "repair" the program, which I tried to do. Unfortunately the program built to repair this awful program is also useless, and froze. Three times.

Yes, I restarted my computer. Yes, I shut down extraneous programs. No, it's not supposed to be this difficult to use Microsoft Office/Word. 

But I finally found a fix for these issues, I followed the below link to cancel my service and will return to working on Chrome. I only wish I had followed this step sooner, I would have saved so much money and frustration.  How disappointing.

Strange Split Window behavior

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 04:00 PM PDT

In one document I'm doing an edit on page 14. I decide to compare with something on page 13. I open the split window to see the section that I want to compare to. The top of the split stays at page 14 as expected but the bottom goes back to page 6. I have another document where if I open a split, the split occurs in the middle of what I'm viewing which is what I expect.

Also, when I remove the split, it seems that there is a preference to relocate to the document position of the bottom pane even when the edit (and current cursor position) is in the top pane. Once again, however this is NOT consistent. Is anyone else seeing this strange behavior?

Is it possibly related to this?

If so this is highly annoying since the workaround for one problem (do edits in top pane) cause problems with me losing my place when the split is removed .

Auto Correct Error Message

Posted: 21 Jul 2014 03:48 PM PDT

I am having problems with MS Word 2010.  Receiving the following errors when attempting to open word or open a word file; "Your auto correct file, c:\users\wayneww\appdata\roaming\microsoft\office\MSO1033.ad, could not be saved.  The file may be read only, or you may not have permission to modify the file."

It will let me open the file and when I try to save it, it gives me the following error message, "You cannot save while file is in use by another process.  Try saving the file with new name."

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
