Need help with a unique copy and pasting situation

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 02:15 PM PDT

Hey guys!

Long story short, I'm trying to update a bunch of old microsoft word files, and they contain many tables. To update these files to the new format that I want them in, I'm copying and pasting their content into a template that I have created....

However, some tables on the documents that I am updating are just lists inside of one cell, and the next column over is again a list corresponding with each line item in other rows......just in case that didn't make sense, it pretty much looked like so:

Year
 Number Description

2011

2012

2013

2014

44

52

89

95

This is an example description

This is another example description

This is a 3rd example description

And this is the 4th

The rows are in separate cells, but all of the numbers are in one cell, along with the years and "Blah blah blah"s.

As a result, some don't line up like so

Year Number Description

2011

2012

2013

2014

44

52

89

95

This is an example description

This is another example description

This is a 3rd example description

And this is the 4th

Is there anyway for me to copy and paste these tables above so that each row is aligned and in its own cell?

Highlighting is barely working in Word and Excel

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 12:39 PM PDT

I am trying to highlight paragraphs from Word documents and copy them into "Insert comment" boxes in Excel.  I've done it many times - an old, familiar process.  But today, highlight doesn't work well in either Word or Excel.  Of course, I can highlight one word at a time by double-clicking, but I need to be able to copy as many as 8 paragraphs at a time, and I can't do that today.  If I break my highlighting into a couple sentences at a time, I can highlight on about my 4th or 5th try, but it will still take me an hour to do what I can normally do in 2 minutes.  Excel is proving just as difficult.  I want to copy Word paragraphs over words that are already in some "Insert comment" boxes, but Excel won't let me highlight a whole paragraph to be replaced by whatever I'm copying in.  Today I'm also struggling just to pull up an "insert comment" box, and I'm having an even harder time making the comment boxes larger or smaller.  I'm suspecting a virus, but my employer's security scanner so far says my computer is OK.  It just started its daily noon scan, and with about 10% of the files scanned it still shows no risks.

I tried highlighting in WordPad, and was able to highlight in WordPad.  So I tried using Word in safe mode, but saw no improvement.  I'm using Windows 7 and Office 2013.  Assuming that a virus is not at fault, what can I do to clear up this out-of-the-blue problem?

Lost Tab Leader in Table Column

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 11:31 AM PDT

I've inserted tables in a Word 2013 document (it is an alphabetical phone list with name and extension). How do I set up a tab stop with a leader (dots in this case) so there are dots between the name and extension? It was set up and working before I put the phone list in the table. Now that it's in the table when I hit tab the next column is highlighted.

The reason the list was put in a table was for formatting. The first and second pages have different columns. The first page has 4 columns and will always have 4 columns. Also its contents are dynamic. The second page has 3 columns on the first half of the page while the bottom half has 3 separate sections with 5 columns each (I think one might have 4). The content on the second page is relatively static.  Previously, making changes (adding/deleting a phone number) on the first page effected the formatting on the second page. Dumping the sections into tables has fixed that, but I lost the tab leader.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Embedding a PDF in a word document as a link and not an image?

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 11:16 AM PDT

Greetings community, my first post!

I am curious if there is a way to embed a pdf file into a word doc(2010) and have it show up as a link instead of the actual image.  Can the word document act as a container and store the pdf file within the link and then open the file (Assuming the user has Adobe or a similiar PDF reader already installed on the OS) after clicking on the link?

So basically, I have a word document that addresses a bunch of PDF files that I am supplying to a client of mine.  Typically, I just give references to the files and they can open the files themselves, but I am trying to find a way to embed all of the files in a single document.

Can anything like this be achieved or any ideas are welcome.

Thank you very much in advance to any or all who can halp me!

Weird issue opening doc

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 10:38 AM PDT

When certain docs are opened directly from our shared drive word gets stuck in an endless loop of asking with this pop up window "please insert disk into DVD-RW drive (D:)", which makes no sense since the doc is on a network drive. What's even stranger is that if word is open and then the file is double clicked on in windows explorer the doc will open. This happens in both word 2013 and 2010. Any ideas on how to resolve this???

Creating pdf from word 2013

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 09:53 AM PDT

I can't see a way of free trialling word 2013 but I have trialled word in office 365. Does office 365 use word 2013?

What I want to do is export  my word document (I am using office 2003 currently) to pdf. I want the conversion process to use my headers to create a hierarchical list of bookmarks that appear in the bookmarks pane of PDF reader and I want to preserve the hyperlinks in my table of contents. Word in office 365 does this all very well (and my tables and vertical text all appear as in the original). If the PDF export in office 365 meets my needs, will word 2013 also do the same job?

I have tried various other solutions (third party PDF printers and converters) and none of them work properly.

word 2003 macro crashes on autotext in 2010

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 08:33 AM PDT

I'm trying to run a template made in 2003 on later versions - 2007 and 2010. There is a user form which selects various arrangements of autotext for different user requirements (in this case "Logo" corresponds to the various company subsidiary names). It runs fine on 2003, however causes word to crash in the later versions - I mean crash and close the program, not just break the code. I've identified exactly where it does this which I've indicated below in bold. I've checked that the autotext is present in 2010, which it is, and I can insert it manually without problems. I've checked that the name is identical in my code and the actual autotext.  I'm not too familiar with 2010 however, and I know that it calls the autotext from the "quickparts" and suspect that this may have something to do with it. Has anybody experienced similar and found a resolution? Or does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Lois

e.g.

'insert BMInfo " NAME of BOOKMARK", "NAME OF AUTOTEXT"
insertBMInfo "FrontCoverEnquiries", " Front Cover Enquiries"

Sub insertBMInfo(ByRef BMcontent As String, aText As String)

Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(BMcontent).Range
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
Logo = oDoc.Variables("varLogo").Value
oDoc.Bookmarks(BMcontent).Range.Select
            oDoc.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(Logo & aText).Insert Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True
oRng.End = Selection.Range.End
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add (BMcontent), oRng
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
Selection.Paragraphs.Last.Range.Delete

End Sub

Can't access an iPad document on my laptop . . . and sharing Office 365 Question

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 05:33 AM PDT

I feel like such a newbie--and I guess I am when it comes to this "in the cloud" stuff.  So here's my problem:

I went to a conference at the end of June.  Bought Office 365 the week before and installed it on my laptop and my iPad mini.  Took notes on my iPad mini while at the conference.  Didn't really need to work with the notes until now.  I can see the title of the document on my laptop, but it says "online only."  How can I get those notes available on my laptop?

I also shared the 365 account with my partner.  She decided, after barely using it--not even activating Excel--that she doesn't want to use it--would rather go "old school" with USB drives, etc. (I'm not sure if it matters, but she is still working with Windows 7, whereas my laptop is running 8.1)  When I delete her from "my" account, will her computer files revert back to her Student Office?  She is writing her dissertation and is paranoid that she will lose her program and all of her files.

Thanks for your help!

Mathtype equations in word 2007 not showing the correct equation

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 02:53 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Mathtype to type equations in word 2007. The equations look ok. However, when I try to open any equation to edit it, it shows me somw other equation or equation object for somewhere else in teh document. I am now retyping all the equations to remove this problem as I could not find any other way.

Why is the equation image correct and while it shows a different eqaution in edit mode? Is there a setting which I need to do to quickly correct this problem?

Thanks

Word 2013: Disable copy whilst allowing editing

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 02:16 AM PDT

Hello. I have created a word document/guide and used Editing Restrictions to make the whole document editable except for my footer. The problem is, if someone copies and pastes the text into another word file, then they have the contents clean without my footer. I would like to enable clients to make changes to the document (whilst keeping my footer) and not be able to copy any of the text.

How can I do this without access to Windows Rights Management Services?

Thank you...

Word - staying on top

Posted: 17 Jul 2014 01:49 AM PDT

I have noticed recently that Word sometimes stays on top. To access any other running applications (or if I open a new application) I have to minimise word before I can get at them.

The only way I can find around this is to shut down and restart and then all continues well for a few days and then it starts all over again.

Does anyone know why this is occurring?

Worried that I accessed a Microsoft Support site that was fraudulent.

Posted: 16 Jul 2014 05:48 PM PDT

I am having issues with Microsoft Office 2013. It stopped allowing me access on my computer, giving me a 1056-4 Error Code. When I was looking up the error code, I came across http://www.****.com/blog/post/Error-code-1056-4/ 

I clicked on the "Still Need Help: Chat with us live" button, and they asked me to allow remote access to see the problem. Thinking this was legit, I allowed it with the program "logmein free". When the guy finished looking at stuff on my computer, he told me I had multiple polymorphic viruses and that he could fix those manually for $200. When I said no thanks, he dropped the price to $150, then respectively $100. I asked him if he was with Microsoft, to which he replied, "we are a support service for Microsoft." I ended the contact and uninstalled logmein, but I am completely freaked out that I allowed someone access to my computer. Are these people a support service for Microsoft? 

I did a whois on the website, and it listed a John Mathews as the person who bought the URL through godaddy. I feel like an idiot (so no need to give me that news).

Thanks for any help.

Language issues on Word 2013 bibliography

Posted: 16 Jul 2014 04:10 PM PDT

Hi, I'm using Word 2013 on my Window 8.

Whenever I put information for bibliography, Word recognize the information in Korean, and

it keeps inserting in Korean way, like date and author's name.

In addition, you know how you have to put author's last name at the end of sentence that contains

information from that author?

It keeps inserting the whole name of the author.

How can I solve this issue?

I can't keep having issues for my class since I have to do some research papers.

Yes, I have set English for the main language and even deleted Korean on the list, but

it still has these issues...

Please help me...
