How to change Citation in Word 2010

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 02:48 PM PDT

Hi,all I am using 'Harvard' bibliography in Word 2010. I have added two papers with the same first author and year (both appear to be 'Li,et al., 2012'), but I want to change them to be 'Li, et al.,2012 a' and 'Li, et al., 2012b', so I am wondering how to do that. I tried to edit the source, but could not find a option for editing 'Citation' as seen in preview.

cheers

 

Font will not change text in document (Normal is already set)

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 01:45 PM PDT

I am trying to change the font of text I have copied and pasted from another word document. My default normal is currently set (this is set to a different font then I am trying to use) 

I have selected all text and tried the drop down, I have tried going straight into the font window to change it here. and no matter what I select it just does not change the font its like it is locked to its current font. 

This is not a installed font from another source it is Miriam font in size 10 current font is simsum I believe its called.

I have also gone into the advanced tab and everything is as it should be in that portion of the font window as well.


This is not the first time this is happened, so I am interested to know the solution to stop it from occuring

Any thoughts as to what this could be ?

Mail Merge - Switch Column Headers to Rows

I have a Word document with fields throughout the document.  Those fields are reapeated information.  The data form, which is in Excel, has headers and the information is filled in below the column headers.  Is there a way to have the Word document read the information from left to right instead?

Currently:

Create a style for a numbered list?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 11:38 AM PDT

How do I create a list style (A, B, C, D) so that it automatically restarts a new list at A?

I am creating multiple choice questions so I need to be able to restart the list of answers at A for each question. I can create a style for a numbered list, but it will generally continue numbering from the previous list. I then have to manually restart it.

I have tried various methods and end up with a whole mess of styles. Sometimes a style seems to work, but not consistently. I've also managed to mess up some of the questions I've previously formatted correctly so they are all answers are numbered with the same letter.

Prevent pages from printing?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:22 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a document that is ~200 pages.  Pages 1-50 are the Body, and the remaining 51-200 are an appendix.  Is there a way that, if the user goes to File--> Print (or any other method of printing), to not include pages 51-200?

There could be a few ways - maybe have a message box notifying the user that there are 150 pages of Appendices, and to select only 1-50 for the main document.  Or, have the default print settings have print 1-50 only....etc.

Basically, I just want to prevent the user from going to File->Print (or CTRL+P, or some other way) and then print 200 pages when they really just want the 1-50 pages.  I have read about maybe using "hidden text" but I would like the user to be able to see the text when reading the digital document - I just want to prevent them from printing all of the document accidentally.

Even if I broke it into sections, that could still print the whole thing.  I am familiar with Macros/VBA (via Excel) if that helps.  Thanks for any ideas!

IRM set up for Office 365

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 04:13 AM PDT

I'm attempting to create a template with some drop down lists and check boxes, currently when people open the document I created they can't actually select anything from the drop down list. an article suggested that I should Restrict the editing of the document. When attempting to do so I get the following error: "Your machine isn't set up for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to Office, open an existing IRM protected message or document or contact your help desk"

 

Please assist if you know how this problem can be solved

Hello,

We have developed an installer for MS Word and MS Excel plugins. So far it has been working fine for MS Office 2003, @007 office etc. but since I have upgraded to a Windows 8.1 machine with MS Office 2013 installed, the plugin installation is giving error.

The installation failes and an error dialog appears with Error Code Type: Error, Error:1, Owner:30a.

 The installer works well for MS Office 2010 on Windows 8/ 8.1 machine or MS Office 2010 on Windows 7 machine.

Saving office documents onto a wireless flash drive

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 08:59 PM PDT

Hi,

I recently purchased office 365 personal so that I could edit office documents on my iPad, which I could previously not do.  I also purchased a wireless flash drive so that I could use the same documents on other machines than the iPad and PC at work.  I can open documents from the flash drive on my ipad, but I cannot seem to be able to save them back to the flash drive, only OneDrive or a sharepoint site...any way to get around that and be able to save to my wirless flash drive?

Still no Office 2013

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 05:44 PM PDT

Ok....I need my Office 2013 fixed. Just like everyone it is broken. I don't want to long fix from Microsoft that doesn't work. I want someone to call me and fix it for free. I am not uninstalling and reinstalling. Take ownership Microsoft, it is your product.

Using keyboard shortcuts only to navigate in the open dialog box.

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 04:54 PM PDT

The cursor is automatically in the file name box when you ask to open a file. I need to find a way to get to the left hand pane, I guess the directory tree (not sure what it's called) using the keyboard, then get to the files listed in the right hand pane once I have picked the correct folder. In Word 2003, my fingers never left the keyboard to open a file, and I am trying to find a way to do that in Word 2013. Half the time I cannot even tell where the cursor is in the dialog box. This is driving me crazy. I spend enough time clicking with the mouse as it is.

Question on the Thesaurus feature in Word (Office 2010 Starter Edition)

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

This really is an odd question pertaining to Microsoft Word. I often use Thesaurus. When I use Thesaurus (Shift + F7 key) the Thesaurus opens. However, when I then click on "All Reference Books" on the second window of the drop down menu, I get a Windows Security pop-up that says to enter my credentials. I have made no changes to my computer or downloaded anything new.

What is this all about and how do I get rid of it so that I can access "all reference books" again? 

It only asks me for this in the above specific situation. I have made no changes to my computer in years, and the above issue was not the result of a new program or anything like that. So I cannot figure it out at all.

I use this feature a lot in connection with my work, so I do need it....it is not a minor issue for me although it may appear that way.

Thank you.

Inputting answer on preexisting line

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

I have a downloaded Word document that came with questions and a line to place your answer in. 95% of the document works perfect, it asks a question and I can place my answer on the line with no problem. However, several lines are giving me an issue and I can't figure out the reason why. Example: What is your favorite color?   ___Blue____, on 95% of the lines "Blue" would rest on top of the line instead of separate the line. I'll click on a line that I know works right and compare it to the settings box of a line that isn't working and haven't found anything different. However, I may not be looking in all the available settings! Also, simply highlighting the "____Blue____" and underlining it may put a line under the word but it's noticeably different from the rest of the document and looks trashy.

You saw a combination of my original question and Jay's reply. I intended to include my (grateful) answer to him, but somehow my answer did not get included. I still don't know why it got deleted. I know better than to just repeat an earlier post.

Also, thank you for your excellent answers to my past questions.

Please inform if this is e genuine Microsoft notice. Many thanks.
