Using Paste Special, I can convert a large table to an image but part of the table at the bottom does not appear. Is there an unseen boundary?

I am creating calendars using a table and to be posted on my website. I normally use "Print Screen" and "Paint" to convert my tables to images. However, sometimes I cannot get all of the table on the screen to use "Print Screen". So I need to find another way to convert large tables to images without breaking up the table, at least one calendar week at a time (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.).

These are some things I have tried:

1.  I entered HTML code to float and connect two images without gap in between; I received this info from the creators of the website theme I am using. The problem with the code is the calendar and info is centered on the page and I was informed you can not use "float" as center. Do not want to use as "float: left" because it looks awkward.

2.  Without HTML float code, a broad black line appears between the tables/weeks; I understand it is called "padding". I could work with that if the line only appeared between the separate weeks (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.). However, it does not work if the data in a particular week is very long and overflows into the next page; that week becomes divided with that broad black line running through and looks awkward and disconnected.

3.  PowerPoint does not like tables.

4.  I don't have a PDF converter at this time and am not sure that will even work. Otherwise, the tables look too small to "Print Screen"; re-sizing makes blurry.

5.  I discovered "Paste Special" which seemed to work by using the size 11x17; this way I could get a very long table/week on that size page. It seemed to be going well until I had a long table that encompassed two pages (using size letter/landscape). I moved the table to size 11x17 to get it all on one page. 

This is my problem:

Using "Paste Special", I highlight the table, copy it, go to another document or page, use "Paste Special" to paste as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)". Although the table converts to an image, it is not picking up the entire table at the bottom.

I am flabbergasted! I have looked through MS Word, search engines and tried everything to discover why it is not picking up the entire table. Even though I transported the table from the size letter/landscape to 11x17, it appears that where the image stopped picking up the info from the table image is where the info stopped on the first page of the two-page table that was previously on the letter/landscape size.

Could it be still recognizing the boundary of the letter/landscape size and not picking up the info after that? And if so, how do I make it appear? What is more interesting, is when you click on the table that is now an image, it even shows the extra space where that data should be showing but it is not.

I am also open to other ways to convert whole tables to images if you have any.

Once I conquer this, it will be smooth sailing and I will be able to make as large of a calendar week that I want because the info/events will grow. I have updated info for my July 2014 calendar, but because of this dilemma, I am unable to post it.

Your prompt attention would be appreciated! I have my upcoming August 2014 calendar to do and hope I will be able to post.

HELP! Thanking you in advance!

microsoft-word-2013 losing parts of documents

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT

I am working on a project with two other users who have older versions of Word. Sometimes after the documents have gone through a few rounds of editing with the other users and are sent back to me, I only see the first few pages of the document when in Editing mode. I save the document, and can see the whole document. Then, when I switch to editing mode, the last pages disappear and I am unable to view them. However, if I open the document on another computer with an older version of Word, all pages are visible.

I've tried saving in Compatability mode and also not in Compatability mode and the same thing happens.

WORD 2010

Dear Madam or Sir:

          Given that I am unable to find anything on my own courtesy of the wonders of "Search" functions, I am stuck with being here.  My question is simple, to wit:  How may I permanently set the "Display" feature in WORD to 0 (zero)?  I do not care to have to continually go through "Options" to repeatedly do this.

Respectfully,

Track Changes Pop Up at Bottom of Screen

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 10:33 AM PDT

Hello. I just got a new computer and had to install my old version of Office 2007. However, on my new computer, when I use any type of Macro that I made myself, it pops up a horizontal box showing that change (e.g., a pre-written comment) at the bottom of the screen, in addition to the vertical view already on the right (I use Track Changes).  Do you know how to get it to stop popping up that bottom screen? It's driving me crazy!

Word 2013 x64 Equation Editor freezes and crashes Word.

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:43 AM PDT

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

since installing Office 2013 Professional Plus in English on my Windows 7 Professional x64 desktop machine, I had the problem described in this thread as well.

I tried both the x86 and the x64 downloader / installer of Office, both produce the same problem.

1. Does the 'Equation Editor' feature work properly in other Office 2013 applications?
Yes, it works in Excel 2013 and Powerpoint 2013.

2. Do you receive any error message?
No.

3. Download and install the compatibility pack for Office and then verify the results.

I tried this and it didn't work / help. Especially this doesn't apply to x64.

4. Repair Office 2013 installation then check if you're able to find 'Equation Editor' options.

I tried this and it didn't work.

5. I didn't install any Add-Ins yet, I think:

6. I deactivated hardware acceleration:

No improvement.

7. I ran sfc /scannow. It didn't produce any negative results:

7. I used the following fix-it cleaners to remove old MS Office data, but I think it didn't find anything.

8. Cambria Math Regular seems to be installed:

Is this sufficient? What about the differing icon, compared to other fonts?

Other than those solutions, I am really out of ideas (from Google) right now!

How do we write a macro to enforce our desired business rules?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:04 AM PDT

Our agency has a similar problem and would like assistance correcting the problem.  We've combed through several forums and tried all of the suggestions, but the problem persists.

We would like to create a template document that allows users to open, fill in a few form fields in a table, perform spell check, use Review Tracking, route the document using email, add comments, and other similar tracking type behavior.  The problem we run into is adding a header image, footer image, and form version and descriptor that cannot be deleted by the users.  If we use document protection, by default it prevents users from using document tracking, and this functionality is critical to the use of this template document. 

We tried using picture and text content controls set to "content cannot be altered" and "content cannot be deleted."  It works wonderfully, with one small catch:  The error message that pops up when attempting to open.   I've included screen shots of these errors, but the text reads "The file 323001_IOC-Electronic (Option D) cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."  Details Unspecified error Location: Part: /Word/header1.xml, Line: 2, Column 0," and "Word found unreadable content in "323001_IOC-Electronic (Option D).  Do you want to recover the contents of this document?  If you trust the source of the document, click Yes."  

If we change the image from "behind text" to "in line with text," the problem goes away but then we have no control over placing the image exactly where we need it to be.  And if it's set to "in line with text," we can't place any text over it (e.g, the TO, FROM, SUBJECT lines).

Can you help us fix this issue?  You can find the document here: http://1drv.ms/TXyi7O, on my sky drive.

Word Outline view defaults to 'Show First Line Only'.

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 08:21 AM PDT

I'm using Office 2010, on one of my laptops, Word has started to tick 'Show First Line Only' as the default option in Outline view. Is it a bug? Any ideas on how I fix it. The only reference I've been able to find is several years old and has a system of complicated (to me) macros. Anything happened in the meantime?

Consecutive numbers in the text.

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 08:07 AM PDT

I am to give a presentation with slides.

My text will be along these lines:-

Here is a picture of my grandfather (1)... and my grandmother (2).... and the house they lived in (3)...

The numbers indicate the slide number, and are the cues to press the Advance button.

How can I put these into the text so that they automatically re-number when I insert more text & slides in the middle?

How to Recover corrupted word files?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 06:45 AM PDT

Recently I have been digging for old Word (2013) files and I have found that some of them are corrupted. How this happened is a mystery to me, and if someone could comment I would appreciate it.


However, what I am concerned with is recovering some of them. Whereas some I can let go without much issue, others are very important. I would appreciate any help in recovering them, either with procedures I am yet unfamiliar with, or using specific software. Free would be preferable, but if best-in-class is pay and I need it, I'll buy it.

Thanks for your opinions.

How do I create links to different parts of the same word document?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:05 AM PDT

I wrote a list of 120 references at the end of a large document. Now, I need to create links from other parts of the document to those 120 references at the end of the document.

Explanation:

1. Somewhere in the document I write something like this... "This issue was addressed in manual 23"

2. I need manual 23 to be clickable and take the reader to that reference section at the end of the document to the line that starts with manual 23

How do I do this?

Indent Numbering - List Style?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:01 AM PDT

So I have a document that has various levels of Headings and bodytext and indents.

For example, this is what I am after:

1. Heading1

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

1.1 Heading2

    Bodytext

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

    (b) indent text1

1.2 Heading2

    (a) indent text1

         (i) indent text2

    (b) indent text1

    Bodytext

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

    (b) indent text1

I have looked at the ShaunaKelly Numbering/Numbering article and about creatign a StyleList but this does not work because the indent lists style does not always follow the same style and the "Restart numbering" does not always occurs, especially if the content is copied into a new document, which will happen a lot. When that happens the default appears to be "continue numbering" so start getting (aa), etc.

How do you get Restart after Style to be flexible, how to get the numbering to be restart and not default to continue?

fyi, these indents are to be "Bodytext" not "Headings".

Many thanks

Text boxes float.

I am producing a workbook for students to complete.

It follows this type of layout.

The question will be here. 

Followed by an answer box here

The next question will be here

Answer here.  The answer is wihin a text box.

This is a screenshot of part of a page.

As I alter the questions the boxes float around throughout the workbook as the text moves position.

Is there any way to stop this?

Is there a template that I could follow to make this easier.

Message "Please wait while we connect to your account"

Posted: 11 Jul 2014 10:20 PM PDT

I saw the thread about Office 365, but I have Office Home & Student 2013.  

Starting earlier this week it would say "Please wait while we connect to your account."  It wasn't a problem until last night when I wasn't connected to the internet at the moment and I had a presentation to do.  I wasn't able to do my presentation because I had no internet to connect to where I was at.  

This is extremely frustrating!!  Whatever the error is, please tell me what to do to fix it.  I have had this same Office Home & Student 2013 since January 2014 and I have never, ever had this problem.  My account is a valid account, I can sign in through the website and it connects when I'm online, but I need to be able to access Office anytime - even when I'm not connected to the internet.

Odd and even pages in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Jul 2014 04:35 PM PDT

I don't seem to be getting my head around these in 2013 at all.   I have tried entering the header and then inserting a page break, but that does not seem to work.

I need to have the header below and then the same text but in smaller font in black on the head of the following pages.er

Word 2007 with track changes last line of page issue

Posted: 11 Jul 2014 04:31 PM PDT

I have a long document (over 100,000 words) that was edited using track changes  The document is double spaced and page numbers are at the top of the page.  As I got to the end of the changes the editor requested, the document started crashing on my 2007 laptop.  The document was 'recovered' and so I moved it to a newer computer with a bigger graphics card, thinking that might help.  

Since moving the document 3 weeks ago, it has not crashed.  However, a few new issues have developed.  One is that if I am making changes in the 'Final' version, if the number of words on a page increases slightly, the last line of the page will get kicked off and put onto the following page, often with an indent, whether I want it or not.  I have tried every which way to add the omitted line back into it's correct place, but nothing works.  Consequently, some pages have too much space at the end of the page because of this missing line. This issue is driving me crazy!

Has anyone ever heard of this problem and can it be resolved?

Thanks,

Laurie
