Microsoft Word - Superimposed rows in a Word 2003 table

Microsoft Word - Superimposed rows in a Word 2003 table

Superimposed rows in a Word 2003 table

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 01:48 PM PDT

Adding a new row to an existing Word 2003 Table sometimes causes some existing rows of the table to be superimposed on other rows in the table.

 

How can this be corrected?

Use the result which occurs first

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 11:24 AM PDT

I have a very simple but useful Word 2010 VBA macro which I use sometimes many times a day.  Recently I have noticed a pattern that would let me significantly improve it, but don't know how to make it work. The macro looks for any one of the possible quotes, i.e. a single or double quote or a left or right single or double quote, or the ` character.  If it finds one, it leaves the character selected and exits.  If it finds nothing the selection point should remain where it was.

There is a case where I would want to stop and exit before this point, when a particular known number (as a string) occurs.  I can see that two separate range finds are needed but how to choose the earlier result is beyond my VBA skills.

Suppose the following text:

O For a Muse of Fire, that would ascend

The brightest Heaven of Invention:

A Kingdom for a Stage, Princes to Act,

And Monarchs to behold the swelling Scene.15

Then should the Warlike Harry, like himself,

Assume the Port"" of Mars, and at his heels

(Leashed in, like Hounds) should Famine, Sword, and Fire

Crouch for employment.

If 15 is the number sought, then the macro should stop with 15 selected.

If 15 is not the number sought, then the macro should stop with the first " after the word Port selected.

I can't get "If Field Code" to work

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 10:37 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a Table in Word that 1 Column shows How many "Blank CD-R's" I have got, then I have a Column that works out if I have too many or too few CD's from a fixed number, I then want to have a third Column that puts a "Tick" or "Cross" whether I need to order more or not.

I will have either a Negative Number, Zero or Positive Number... So If the Number is Negative that it Will place a "Tick" to indicate that I need to Order More CDs.

Field Code in "Shortfall" Column = { =D3-200 \# #,##0;#,##0 }

Field Code in "Need to Order" Column = { IF E3<0 "P" "O" }

So what I want is if "Shortfall" Column is a "Negative Number" then Place a "Tick" in "Need to Order" Column, but if the Number is "Zero" or a "Positive Number", then a "Cross" is Placed in "Need to Order" Column.

Thank you in advance,

Neil

Reference Apa Style Sixth Edition citation without title

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 09:40 AM PDT

Hi,
I am using APA style for referencing as research requirement. The issue is title are appearing in the in-text citation and for every single reference i have to edit citation then under suppress check title option to remove title.

For Example,

(Before Suppress)

(Liu, Li, & Carlsson, Factors driving the adoption of m-learning: An empirical study, 2010; Teo, Factors influencing teachers' intention to use technology: Model development and test, 2011; Özdoğan, Başoğlu, & Erçetin, 2012; Wei-Han Tan, Ooi, Sim, & Phusavat, 2012; Park, Baek, Ohm, & Chang, 2014)

(After Suppress)

(Liu, Li, & Carlsson, 2010; Teo, 2011; Özdoğan, Başoğlu, & Erçetin, 2012; Wei-Han Tan, Ooi, Sim, & Phusavat, 2012; Park, Baek, Ohm, & Chang, 2014).

Is there any way out to set this as default setting instead of manually editing each referred entry then under suppress selecting title from edit citation ?? Additionally my first two reference is appearing with titles and rest is without. I have no idea why is so.
I want to get rid of the reference titles automatically.

How do I delete the thin lines at the top of the End Note pages in a long document?

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 06:59 AM PDT

I am working on a long document. In the beginning I was using foot notes but at the 40,000 word mark I decided that end notes would work much better as a few of the notes were long. I went through the foot note to end note conversion process and it worked--almost. I now have five pages of numbered end notes that look pretty good except there is a thin black line inside a dotted line box all the way across the top of each page and a shorter, additional, line (about 1/3 page width) on the first page.

How do I delete these lines? I can not highlight them, click on them or edit them in anyway and I really do not want them. A couple notes: If I highlight the entire end notes section, the lines in boxes remain un-highlighted. In draft mode, the lines don't show, they are not there. In page borders my default is none.

Office 2013 cannot open files from network drives

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 05:28 AM PDT

hi,

i have the following problem: when ever i want to open a file from a network drive, word starts and immediately restarts. It doesn't matter if I open from within word (happens in excel also) or from the windows explorer. I am on Windows 7 x64.

The funny thing is, when I open the same file via the machine name (like \\server\folder\file.docx ) it suddenly works. ( x:\folder\file.docx  does not work. )

i even tried a full repair to no avail.

It's just a minor annoyance since we have a workaround for it, but it would be nice to get a solution for this.

thanks!

Single Word document, sharable in 2 different avatars - hidden + protected subsets

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 05:27 AM PDT

While I have read bits and pieces of mechanisms to hide certain parts of document and protecting document (against modification, s.a. to un-hide) using passwords, I am looking for guidance on best practices and a holistic approach to the problem.

There is a certain document which is updated quite frequently with fairly detailed engineering information, however, a less-detailed version of the same document needs to be shared with partners and customers, who should not have access to the detailed engineering information.

I was thinking of an approach where following things happen (not sure if some or all of these are actually feasible -- without extensive VB-scripting, which I am not familiar with):

  1. Document property called mode, could be manually set to EXTERNAL or INTERNAL. If EXTERNAL, the texts with engineering details get hidden and the whole document remained protected. If INTERNAL, then the texts with engineering details stay visible. This is true for on-screen and printed outputs.
  2. Trying to print (to printer, file or as PDF) or trying to save-as (PDF) causes the document to automatically switch to EXTERNAL mode.
  3. By default the document is always set to EXTERNAL mode, and modifying it would require the engineer updating it to explicitly turn it to INTERNET mode.
  4. Editing the document, all new text entered is automatically tagged/classified as hidden (i.e. visible only in INTERNAL mode). To make it visible in the EXTERNAL mode, text needs to be explicitly unhidden (tagged differently).

The motivation is to avoid having to write / maintain two separate documents, when all that we need is a perfect subset. This allows the document to automatically stay in sync with engineering version.

How can I achieve the above goals, with the kind of approach described above, or even an alternative approach.

hyperlinks

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 03:32 AM PDT

All hyperlinks in all documents (current and older) have automatically converted from text to URLs.  I can click on remove hyperlink but this is time consuming to get text but this takes time and also loses the hyperlink facility. Also contents list appears as a list of URLs and these cannot be removed.

I was advised yesterday to uninstall and re-install but no improvement.

Why can't I find and replace hard returns in Word 2013?

Posted: 05 Jul 2014 12:18 AM PDT

Word 2013 (running in Windows 8.1 on a Sony Vaio Duo 11):

Word IS UNABLE to "Find" or to "Find and Replace" a manual hard return.  It says nothing was found.

I believe I did the Search procedures properly.  I used the "Specials" option when choosing what to search for.

I am so tired of trying to re-create procedures for doing what I used to be able to do SO EASILY in WordPerfect 5.1 back in 1992.

Why won't this work?

Does anyone know??

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 03:56 PM PDT

Had computer at third party shop and lost MS Word 2013. Got it re-downloaded and worked for a few days, had it on my tiles but could not open it. Tried to down load it and it comes up with a 12007-4 error. Uninstalled it with the MS fix-it and tried downloading it again and it does the same thing. What do I do now?
