Print window defaults to 2-sided printing despite printer set to one-sided printing.

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 01:12 PM PDT

Print window defaults to 2-sided printing despite printer set to one-sided printing.  This is on a Dell XPS 8700.  On our HP laptop with Windows 8.1 is doesn't do this.

How do I add an entry on the "New" context menu (Win 7, Office XP, 2007 Compatibility Pack) ??

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 08:27 AM PDT

I used ShellNewhandler.exe to put Office XP on my "New" context menu.  All's OK, except I can't get the Word entry to work correctly, probably because of the Compatibility Pack.  The Word entry on the context menu only opens a blank  .DOCX template, and I then have to go thru a lot of shenanigans to get it into .doc format so I can use it (eg, change font, Save As...).  So how do I get Word to open in Office XP (Word 2002) straightaway, not in Word 2007? Thnx (Win 7/64 Hm Prem).

Official Word Starter update?

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 08:23 AM PDT

When I opened up my laptop this morning (8/16/14) there was a pop-up on the screen telling me  there was an update available for Microsoft Word Starter 2010 and asking me if I wanted to download it.  It did not look like the typical Windows or Office update notification.  I closed the pop-up and opened Windows update and ran it.  There were some updates available, but none that said they were for Word Starter.  IS there a new Update for Word Starter or is this someone trying to get me to download a virus?

MS Word 2013 freezes when saving as PDF and printing the document

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 06:31 AM PDT

I'm unable to save the files as PDF and print any document, as the application freezes and doesn't respond. I've been updating Office 2013 regularly with Windows updates, and I still find Office 2013 going unstable.

Word registry settings - not obeying printer properties

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 05:33 AM PDT

This is a really weird one. A while ago I had a little accident with the registry on my laptop and corrupted my user profile. I managed to rescue the situation by using Windows Easy Transfer to archive my user settings to an external disk, deleted the user then reinstated it from the save file. So far, so good. This seemed to fix all my registry problems and everything was back to normal.

That was until I tried to do a two-sided print, two pages per sheet. Word for Windows now insists on ignoring whatever I say in printer properties and instead always prints full-sized and on only one side of the paper. This only applies to Word for Windows (other applications print fine) and it's user-specific. I can log-on to the same machine using a different user account and, using the same version of Word for Windows, print the same file to the same printer and have it come out two-sided etc. as requested.

OK, I admit I am using a very old version of Word (2003 11.8411.8405, SP3) but it meets my requirements and, as a now-retired software developer, I cannot justify the expense of upgrading. My laptop is running Windows 7, SP1. The printer is a Canon Pixma ip5200R. It is not connected directly to my laptop but is connected to a tower PC running Windows XP. I connect to the printer via LAN.

Printing using specific properties used to work from all user accounts on my laptop. It's only since my registry accident that I've had the problem with this one user account so I am convinced it is a registry problem. Has anyone any good ideas where to look for a quick fix?

Unwanted spaces

Posted: 16 Aug 2014 03:45 AM PDT

I was changing selected spaces in a long block of text to pairs of paragraph breaks into a long block of text (i.e., replace 'space' with ^p^p if I were using the replace function), and found that in addition to the paragraph markers, Word was inserting a space before the first paragraph mark, and after the second (i.e., replace 'space' with 'space'^p^p'space').  How can I turn this imbecility off, permanently?

<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 11:59 PM PDT

Grateful for a solution to this problem.

I copy any selection of text from any Word document and paste it into a draft email.  The pasted text appears normal.

However, after I send the email, the recipient (and myself as cc), see the following always and only after the first line of copied text:

<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

For example:

Abcde123<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Fghi456

Jklm789

How do I stop <?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> appearing in my sent emails?

FYI: putting this string into Google shows some webpages where it also appears, eg

Microsoft Word has stopped working

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 11:48 PM PDT

My Word 2013 was working flawlessly, until one time that I tried to open file 'A' and it crashed. Since then it keeps crashing no matter what file I'm trying to

open. If I try to open file 'A'  from Word itself, it tells me that, the last time I tried to open it it caused a serious problem, and that I could recover the file but lose all my formatting.

Now, Word's not even opening a New File.

Here's the Event Log;

I'd really appreciate help. Thank you.

Quotation marks and apostrophes change to Calibri (Body)

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 10:38 PM PDT

Typing in New Times Roman, a document started changing quotation marks and apostrophes to Calibri (Body) and leaving a gap before the opening quotation mark and after the closing quotation mark, and adding a gap after the apostrophe, as in ( "gaps before and after" ) and don'  t.  Anyone know why it's changing just those punctuation marks to Calibri (Body)?

Adobe fonts do not render correctly in MS Word (2013)

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 09:04 PM PDT

Some time ago I purchased as set of different Adobe Caslon fonts and have carried them with me from computer to computer.

They install just fine on my new Windows 7 PC.  However, they will not render properly in MS Word.  They appear in the font box as expected (e.g., ACaslon Regular). If I click on a word and then right click > Font, they will render correctly in the Preview pane.  If I convert the file to PDF, they render perfectly. BUT I can't them to appear properly in the Word document itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

How to Set backcolour in Word Textbox?

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:26 PM PDT

I've imported a picture into word and placed a textbox on part of it.  It's set to No Fill.

If I type into it - no problem - but I want to paste something in. The paste includes a white background which I don't want (I want it to

be transparent so the text is on top of my image).

How can I remove the white backcolour please ?

Can't open any older files in word, powerpoint or excel

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 05:26 PM PDT

I have a 365 university Office and I can't open any files that the school gives us, (which is something very important) !! which are in 97-2003 formats I think, which shouldnt be a problem??

In powerpoint it says it cant read the file and in word it says there was an error trying to open the file. 

This is not acceptable and I need help NOW!!! And dont want any tricks to get around the problem I need a solution! Obviously I need to be able to access older files then the 2013 ones. 

This is the second problem I had with this product last time it was the proofing and spell checker that just disappeared so I'm not that impressed with the product.

Hi,

i am am a first timer so I apologise in advance if I'm doing something wrong.

I'm now using Word 2013 after many happy years of using WordPerfect.

 Can anybody help.
