Microsoft Word - Convert Text to Table is dimmed out in Word 2010

Microsoft Word - Convert Text to Table is dimmed out in Word 2010

Convert Text to Table is dimmed out in Word 2010

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 01:28 PM PDT

In Word 2010, I want to convert a Table of Contents to a table. Each line is a new paragraph. When I select the text and click Insert Table, I cannot select Convert Text to Table because it is dimmed out or greyed out.

I used the same method in another document, and it worked fine. Both are docx docs.

Microsoft Office 2007

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 12:32 PM PDT

Hi, I have Office Home and Student 2007 installed on my laptop, I'm currently running Windows 8.1 but I also used to have this issue on another laptop running Windows 7.

For some reason, every time I attach a .docx file to an email I get these pop ups...

[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/24zdopd.png[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2nusie0.png[/IMG]

The .docx still attaches itself to the email however it's quite annoying, as well as puzzling to me why I get these pop ups every time. It's particularly annoying if I have to send a few attachments as I get a set of these pop ups for each one.

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting these, and if so, how to get rid of them?

PDF security in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 12:10 PM PDT

We've just recently installed Office 2013 and I love that we can convert PDFs into Word.  HOWEVER, I'm having some difficulty with understanding the security.  Here's my issue:

We have a sensitive student documents that we've saved as a PDFs and shared.  We want the recipients to be able to view but not edit and saving as a PDF served that purpose well since the average user doesn't have Adobe Acrobat at home to go in and tinker with things they shouldn't touch.   Now that we can convert PDFs to Word, it removes that level of "security".  So I tested saving the document in several different ways to see if I could prevent word from opening the document and either it can't be done or I'm missing something.  I've tried the following:

  1. Within the Save As menu, I clicked Tools | General Options and selected both Password to modify and Password to Open.  Neither of these settings transfer to the pdf
  2. Within the Save As menu, after I selected PDF as my file type, I clicked the options button and selected Encrypt the document with a password, but that won't let the recipient even open it without the password.
  3. Print the document and scan it back in as a PDF.  This gives the desired result of a non editable document, but it's a real pain to have to do that for hundreds of documents that need to go back and forth between parents and teachers.

There are a lot of smart people that work for Microsoft, and I can't imagine someone didn't think of this.  Does anyone have a better solution other than printing out and scanning in a document that we shouldn't have to print out in the first place?

Manage Source to create Citation or Work cited need improvement

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 11:55 AM PDT

I was not sure how to go about explain. But the Manage Source to create Citation or Work Cited pages need some improvement to it. For example when placing in the information about a journal article or article from a periodical it has left out the section to tell which database the article came from. I do not think my print screen shot is good enough to understand me. 

I use Purdue Owl to aid in trying to make sure I am using the correct APA Format. I also think it be great to have APA Format and MLA format built in already in the Style Set.

Any help you can make to the spell checker and grammar checker to aid in helping me to write a great paper is going to be highly appreciated. It helps me for I am depend on these tools due to my Written Expression Learning disability

Page Break Indicator in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 10:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I have Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Business.

In prior versions of Office, you could see the Page Break Indicator in draft mode.  I have found instructions on the internet telling me to go to File/Options/Advanced/Compatibility Options in order to make sure the Split Apart Page Break and Paragraph Mark check box is selected.

However, I see no boxes under Compatibility Options.  Is this box available in Office 2013 Home and Business?

(I found the tip at http://wordribbon.tips.net  - Missing Page Break Indicator)  It works on Office 2010 Professional, but I can't seem to find the box on the 2013 Office Home and Business.

Is there another solution to seeing just the page break line in Draft View of Word 2013 (without showing all the hidden formatting)?  Currently, if you type Control + Enter, it just leaves a blank line.

Thank you,

BJKSeattle

Printing envelopes from word 2007

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 10:35 AM PDT

Two computers, one with windows 7 and the other with windows 8.1, both using brother printer MFC-9340CDW, both computers have word 2007 installed. The 8.1 computer prints envelopes fine, the windows 7 computer prints the delivery address at the top of the envelope and does not print a return address. Both computers have exactly the same same settings for envelopes within word 2007. The windows 7 used to print envelopes OK, but just quit one day. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling word 2007. Any ideas?

A word document disappeared

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 10:28 AM PDT

Today, I have opened my computer and clicked on recent files. I clicked on a folder containing some word documents. One of them is named "filming order". I clicked on it and it opened just like normal. All of this is in an external hard drive connected to my computer. I have made some changes to the file and decided to save it. But instead of saving like normal, the "Save As" came up as if this was a new file. I was confused so I cancelled it.

I closed the word document but it says that the name of the document is MV110 or something like that (some capital letters and random numbers) instead of "filming order". I clicked no to save since I thought something was wrong and when I came back to the folder, the document "filming order" was gone. I used the search and searched the entire computer and recycle bin, it wasn't there, the good thing is that that document wasn't that important and I can re-make it but now I start to doubt the trustworthiness of my external hard drive, there are files on the hard drive that are really important and took a lot of hard work to make, I don't want to lose them as well, I started to copy over the most important items from the hard drive to an internal hard drive on the computer so I have backup.

I have tried clicking on the "filming order.docx" in the recent documents area in word 2007 but it says that the file doesn't exist (at least not anymore). Should I be worried? I'm currently checking for problems using the command prompt, hopefully everything will be alright. If anyone know what has happened please tell me.

PS. Note that I don't mind whether I get the file back or not since it wasn't that important I just want to make sure it won't happen again.

Add a page number to a footer when the entire footer is an image

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 02:15 AM PDT

Hi,

I am writing a word document for my organisation which requires me to put our logo as a footer to each page. When I copy and paste the log in, it takes up the entire footer and also slightly further up the page. I would like to add page numbers to the document but when I do, the logo is overwritten. How can I overcome this please without writing a text box on each page. Many thanks

Microsoft Office

A few weeks ago my wife went to work on something on word and word wouldn't work. All of the other programs work. I tried restoring my computer to a previous date. But still word will not work. Everytime I try and open it, it does nothing. I have the 2007 office professional. I have no idea where the CD is or the product key is. Only thing I have is product ID. What can I do to fix this or reinstall

Can I create a template, that will not appear when I print? Basically just as a guideline.

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 01:05 AM PDT

I have an image that I want as guidelines for when I am producing this piece of work, however I don't want it to appear on the paper when I print, as we already have it pre-printed onto paper. So in order for it to match up correctly, I would require it as a template whilst creating it. 

Problem with text selection in PDF file created from Word (2010)

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 12:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I saved a .docx document created in Word 2010 as a PDF file.

But when I tried to select text from the PDF file, the following happened:


As you can see, some characters/spaces are skipped...

This also hinders the Search operation, and now the whole PDF file is pretty much useless.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you!

Word 2007 master document changes file names when saving

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:09 PM PDT

I have done a lot of research on this question, but without success. I have learned how to add multiple files at one step by using Insert/object [down arrow]/text from file, and then selecting the file(s) that you want to include. All works swimmingly until I save the master file. It saves the file OK, but when I open it the previous file names are truncated to: "Chapter 1.docx", instead of "Chapter 01 - Introduction.docx"; "Chapter 2.docx", instead of "Chapter 02 - A Sunny Day in May.docx", etc. I wouldn't mind that so much, except that the original files have all been renamed as well.

I use file names when composing a long document to help me remember something about the content of the particular chapter, so the loss of the descriptive information is very irritating, especially since it affects the original.

I thought that perhaps the inclusion of spaces in my file name might be the problem, but I tried eliminating them and the outcome was identical

I am not sharing the files and I am the only one working on them.

Some of the chapters might be using different templates, but my "novel" template and my "normal" template are virtually identical.

I also considered whether the file name might be too long, but word generated single and double digit chapter numbers (e.g., Chapter 1, Chapter 21, etc.)

Any help regarding this problem would be appreciated.

Word 2013 stopped displaying tabs and indent markers on the ruler. How do I get them back?

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:03 PM PDT

Word 2013 stopped displaying tabs and indent markers on the ruler.  How do I get them back?

This is a problem that has arisen within the past few weeks.

As far as I can tell, I can set the tabs (even through the ruler bar) but they are not displayed on the ruler bar.

I'm attaching an image displaying the problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Problem opening Microsoft Office Word Documents - unless saved as Word 93-97, computer attempts to use Adobe Acrobat to open, yielding error msg

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 04:47 PM PDT

This is a problem that has arisen in the last three weeks.  When I  attempt to open documents sent to me, as attachments to emails, in "Microsoft Office Word Document" format (for example, docx.) from email AND when I attempt to open old saved documents from my hard drive that are in this format, I see an Adobe Acrobat page pop up on my screen and immediately get a message that the document cannot be opened.  I've found a work-around by saving the document without opening, right-clicking the document on my hard drive, and using "open with Microsoft Word."  Documents that are saved on the hard drive in Word 93-97 do not encounter this problem.  Until three weeks ago, all these documents opened immediately and "automatically."

Did I somehow change the "default" program for opening "Microsoft Office Word Documents" from Microsoft Office to Adobe Acrobat?  How, in any event, can I fix the problem and not need to do the time-consuming workaround? 

Bug?: How do I create a hyperlink from Word 2013 to a particular Powerpoint slide?

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 04:40 PM PDT

I have tried to add a hyperlink from my Word 2013 docx-file to a particular slide in my Powerpoint 2013 pptx-file. Here are my reproduction steps:

1. Highlight some text in Word

2. Click Insert->Hyperlink

3. In the dialog that pops up, select Existing File...->Current Folder->myfile.pptx->Bookmark

Word then tries to parse the file and a progress bar pops up and after this completes, I get the error: "Microsoft Word could not open this file or parse a file of this type"

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
