Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro

Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro

Picture text wrapping format macro

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:34 PM PDT

I have tried to create a macro in Word 2007 to format the text wrapping of pictures to TopandBottom.  I'm not very knowlegeable about VBA code, but using examples and help, I've come up with the following.

Sub PictureFormat()

Set myDocument = ActiveDocument
With myDocument.Shapes(1).PictureFormat
Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTopandbottom
.RelativeVerticalPosition = _
 wdRelativeVerticalPositionParagraph
 .Left = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Right = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Top = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .bottom = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .WrapFormat.DistanceLeft = 0.2
 .WrapFormat.DistanceRight = 0.2
 End With

End Sub

There may be code that isn't necessary and I am sure I am missing some essential code.  All I want to be able to do is click on a picture, hit a macro that changes the text wrapping to Top and Bottom so that any text will appear under the picture.  If anyone can help me, I would be sooo grateful.  I've tried really hard to figure out VBA code, but I'm lost.

Thank you in advance

Word not working, something to do with the normal template?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:57 PM PDT

When I open word this message appears:

'Word automatically saved changes to the normal template, do you want to load it?

Yes    No

Regardless of what I choose, word stops working properly immediately and closes.

I have tried:

- Disabling all start up apps

- Working through the word troubleshooter - which says there is a problem that it can not fix but doesn't say what

- Office repair

Now on top of this once I worked through the office repair it now wants me to activate office again, it doesn't recognise my email address and I don't have the product key anymore as I got office over a year ago on a **** little card.

So .......... so far I have made the original problem MUCH worse and I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it because I have no meaningful information to go on and don't know what I am doing at all.

If someone can help me that would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Lana

Word and Languages

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 01:49 PM PDT

can I download word in multiple languages?

I know You can download word in different languages, but it replaces the current Microsoft word.

but I need Microsoft word in multiple languages at the same time (multiple word programs at once)

one in English (have it)

one in German

and one in Italian

So is there a way to have the Word application in each of these languages without replacing the others? Or do I have to do something else (possibly illegal)

why: cause im taking German and Italian and the teachers want us to use Word in the respective languages...

Change Background Color in Office 2013

Surely after all this time and all the comments/questions regarding the background color in Office 2013 there has to be a way to select something other than white or gray. If you know, please tell me.

Suddenly, Word 2007 is in Compatibility Mode

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT

I have been using Office 2007 Word for years with no compatibility problem with any Word documents, no matter how old they were.  Suddenly, and by "suddenly" I mean this behavior never existed before this morning, all documents except newly created ones open in compatibility mode. 

The only thing I have done differently than normal was this morning I ran a document compare between a Word 2003 document and a Word 2007 document.  Now, and seemingly only since then, all my old documents are opened in compatibility mode.  Instead of graphics, table of contents, page numbers, etc,  tags are displayed and formatting is off.   This was never the case prior to this morning.  It's like running that compare woke some evil Word demon up.  If I give up and convert a document the formatting is off, and tags instead of things like page numbers still show until I print.   

So what changed?  I did not touch Word options or make any Word configuration changes.  The only thing I did differently was for the first time I can remember I used the compare feature and noticed seemingly all of the sudden I have this compatibility 'feature.' I have used this same installation of Word 2007 on my personal machine for approximately 6 years, and my last upgrade was a year ago to Windows 8.  And I have automatic updates disabled to prevent new surprise features. 

I have worked through the reams of internet posts on this topic and have subsequently checked that the file save option is set to docx (which it was), I have inserted the Dword "CompatMode=0" into the registry (there was not one prior), and I have renamed the normal.dot to another name.  No difference.  

I appreciate any help, but what I don't need is an explanation of how Word compatibility mode works.  I would love to know why it all of the sudden came on, and how do I get back to not having it mess up all my older files?   I cannot accept the stock answer I often see that 'this is just how Word 2007 works' because it didn't for me for years until this morning.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Security issues in distributing fillable MS Word forms

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:29 AM PDT

I need to create a fillable form in Word 2010 (Win7) that can be distributed thruout the company.  Users must be able to store this form on their desktop, click on it to open it, fill it out, then email it to a single specific email address.  I'd like to automate the email by adding a macro with the email address hard coded into the .docx distribution file.  Ideally, they fill in the form and click on Submit to email the completed form.

I know how to construct the form.  I can construct the macro for the email process.  My big question is security.  That is, if I distribute such a form, will it not be able to be opened on some computers because it contains a macro?  E.G., those with local admin rights might be able to open it but others would not.

Also, the form will have checkboxes, plain text, Rich text, and comboboxes.  Do any of these controls also carry with them security issues that would prevent us from wide distribution thruout the company?

Many thanks for any and all ideas on this,

Mark

 

Opening word it says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product. You should repair the office program by using control panlel.

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:26 AM PDT

My computer stopped and I was able to recover everything.  But now it will not let me get into microsoft word program.  It says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product.  You should repair the office program by using control panlel.  I did that.  I did the quick repair and then the long reapir and then I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing worked.  The other parts of Microsoft office work  I believe, but not the word.  Thanks  - Actually I was incorrect.  None of the Microsoft office downloads work. 

Dictionary Tool Not Working

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:19 AM PDT

The define tool or dictionary tool under the review tab in Word isn't working. It says I need to be signed in, but I am signed in on Office. When I click on the sign in button a pop-up box appears. It looks like it's about to do something, but the box disappears less than a second after it appears.

Under trust center settings I have the box check where it says "Allow Office to Connect to the Internet." The only thing that makes me question what's happening is the yellow triangle with a "!" in the middle by my name in the top right hand corner. I blacked out my name but you still see the triangle. What should I do?

Can anyone give me the numbers for the red orange color scheme?

I'm having to do a project for class with the red orange color scheme. If someone could give me the numbers it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

F1 Key and Help Function spawning multiple ad windows in Chrome

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:26 AM PDT

This odd behavior occurs across all Office 2013 applications I have tried - Word, Excel, Visio, and Powerpoint.  

Hitting F1 or invoking the help function from any in-program help shortcut when having Chrome set as the default web browser invokes an avalanche of separate browser tabs, each bearing one iteration of whatever ads are being served on the main MS help site.  These tabs keep multiplying as long as any help window is is open, until Chrome is overwhelmed by the sheer number of open tabs, and crashes.  

While I know MS would prefer that I use IE, my work location mandates use of Chrome.  Switching isn't an option.

Are others experiencing this? Any advice on mitigations?    

Thanks in advance for any/all help or advice.  -kbs

Problems with drawing canvas copied from Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I regularly need the capability to create a 'Shapes' drawing in Word, and then create a JPG file from the canvas so that I can duplicate the content elsewhere (e.g. on blogs).

The problem is that the resulting images are "dirty", meaning that there is some sort of faint smudging all around the text parts, and I spend ages trying to clean them up first. The quality is terrible, otherwise, and I simply cannot use the image-file versions.

I would like to know what causes this so that I can avoid it. The problem happens in Word 2007 & 2010, and on multiple machines. I have tried taking a screen or application snapshot (using the 'print screen key'), and I have tried copy-and-pasting the canvas into Microsoft Paint and saving it from there, but the effect is always the same. It is easily demonstrable.

If I create them in Visio then the images are clean, but I prefer using Word as there is always considerable commentary to accompany those drawings.

Link excel text to word document?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Hello, 

I'm trying to insert text from an Excel 2010 file into a Word 2010 document using the "paste link" as an RTF. This works until the document is closed. When opening the the document, the 'update link' option is no longer available. When you right click and select 'object', a pop-up box indicates the object is "corrupt or no longer available".

I have multiple tables from the same Excel file "pasted as link" as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, that do update correctly every time, so it's not the excel file. What I'm trying to do works with the text when pasting the link as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, but I'd like to have this as text because using the worksheet object looks horrible from a presentation / formatting stance. 

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

Word 2013 Can't Open Files on Flash Drive

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 04:51 AM PDT

Word 2013 won't open office documents when they're on a flash drive. But If I copy them to my hard drive they open fine. Any documents I place on the flash drive have the same problem.

This also happens with PowerPoint and Excel documents, so I'm thinking it's an Office issue.

And in Office 2010 on a different laptop, it's the exact same issue. And with 5 different flash drives. So I have no idea what's causing it.

This is the splash screen

First it says "Starting..." then it says "Contacting [file path]" and the loading dots keep moving and it never opens. It's the same with PowerPoint and Excel.

Any ideas?

Copying several boxes in Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:07 AM PDT

I am trying to make name plates for a meeting. I have created a horizontal box on the bottom half of a landscape page and typed the name of the speaker in the box. Then I copied the box, flipped it around and moved it to the top of the page. Once the page is printed, if I fold the paper in half, the name appears on both sides of the nameplate.

I would like to do with for several people but I cannot seem to be able to copy the two boxes together. I've tried holding down shift to select the two boxes but it won't let me paste both. I've tried opening the clipboard and doing it through that, but no luck. The only way I can do this now is to resave the document every time and type in a name for each document or copy a single box, copy and flip and adjust it each time, neither of which are particularly efficient ways of working.

Can someone help me? I'm starting to tear my hair out!

Thanks.

After getting Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student installed I went through the process of setting everything up.  Verified e-mail as prompted.  The 1st time I go to use it, by way of my college course, this box pops up.

Could someone please tell me how to fix this?  Classes just started and I need this program to work for my Keyboarding/Document Formatting class.

Thanks,

endnotes in Word

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:42 PM PDT

In submitting a manuscript to a publisher, they ask that the references (endnotes in the manuscript) be submitted separately from the body of the manuscript and that the body of the manuscript should not have the references (which are in fact, endnotes).  But if the endnotes are stripped from the body of the manuscript, the reference numbers in the manuscript will be lost. 

Is there a way, to cut the reference list at the end of the manuscript without losing the reference numbering in the text?

missing c2r32.dll

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 07:02 PM PDT

I bought Office 365 student and home today and when installing it I was given the message that c2r32.dll is missing from my computer?  I have read someone else on here stated that they had the same message popping up when they were trying to open different programs.  I just checked and all my programs seem to be working correctly.  I just don't want any problems down the road.  First day of class and don't want any foreseen delays coming up.  Thanks

Office will not open

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 06:43 PM PDT

This morning I tried to open a Word file which I last accessed only yesterday. A box came up saying "Sorry we can't open this program". I tried other Word files and got the same message. Adobe files opened without a problem. Ditto other files, hotmail and other internet accounts. Any ideas?

The box suggested going to "Programs and Features" on the Control Panel. This was no help.

Separating Sections into separate word document

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:40 AM PDT

I have a large word document, which happens to be a song book, that has multiple songs on one page. I am wanting to seperate each song into it owns document and use the name of the song as the document file name.

I have gone in and started doing this by copying and pasting each song into its own seperate document, but this takes forever and I was wanting to automate this process by using VBA code.

Could someone provide me with some guideance?

Thanks!
