Microsoft Word - Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Microsoft Word - Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 01:34 PM PDT

I have templates I created in Word 2010 with check boxes and radio buttons that I want to be able to put on the iPad for people to fill out using 365.  Will the document be readable and usable on the iPad?  I do NOT need the ability to edit the template - just be able to fill it out.  Thanks.

Inexplicable Formatting Loss (Flush Left to Centered...and Back Again)

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 12:05 PM PDT

I'm helping someone who wants to write a screenplay but can't afford the various software titles usually used for the job. Having won a fellowship for a screenplay back-in-the-day, I instructed my student to (apologies to Dickens' Mrs. Gargery) "raise it by hand": CENTER the characters' names, DOUBLE SPACE to dialogue that would then change format to FLUSH LEFT, SINGLE SPACE, and 1.5" TAB INDENTATION.

At the bottom of any screenplay done "by hand" in Word that the character's name will be orphaned. Therefore, I told my young aspirant to check, double check, and then check again that no dialogue is orphaned this way. It's not a deal break when read by an agent but not attractive, either.

No luck. No matter how many times he followed my instructions (which I proofread gratis, to make sure he followed them), every so often, the flush left would disappear upon being Saved DESPITE the fact that the RULER showed the indentation to be set at 1.5".

This threw off the oh-so-carefully tended Orphan Control. I won't even begin to describe what a SAVE AS .PDF looked like.

Can anyone venture a guess as to why, no matter how many times the offending sections of Flush Left dialogue were Saved As flush left--and saved and saved again--they reverted to being Centered? Can anyone think of any way at all to fix this disaster?

I want him to call it THE LOST WEEKEND OF MS WORD. Between pagination nightmares that never have gone away, Borders that, once utilized, will not go away, and now this, I'm very leery of sinking money into Office 365.

Thank you for reading this.

Mixing Legacy and Non-legacy controls in a Word 2007 Form

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:50 AM PDT

I inherited a Word 2007 document that is using legacy form controls.  I added another control using the new form control, but, the tab key stops working when it hits the new control even though there are more legacy controls that follow it.

Thank you.

Macro that ungroups text and deletes the entire page - Word 2010

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:55 AM PDT

I have a form in Word 2010 using content controls and grouping. I was asked to see if there is a way to be able to ungroup the text and delete the entire page using a command button. The command button also needs to be invisible when printing if the page is not deleted. If anyone can help, I would owe you the moon!

Thanks

No format tab in word 2013

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:24 AM PDT

I am trying to group some items that I drew in Word 2013. There is not a Format tab to use. I do not have them "in line" with text. I could accomplish this with word 2003 but with 2013 the options have been either removed or hidden so well that I cannot find them. Please help.

Fixing the scale of pictures posted from Excel to Word

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 06:10 AM PDT

Hi.

I am trying to post sections of columns from a matrix constructed in Excel as pictures into Word.

The method I use is simply ctrl+c, right click in Word and then paste as picture.

However, Word keeps changing the scale of the pictures depending on how many columns I select in Excel.

For instance, if I copy six columns the scale will be set to 36% of the original size whereas if I copy only two columns, the scale will be set to 60%, thus making the columns of that picture much bigger in comparison.

I know I can change this for any one picture by right-clicking and choose to rescale the Picture manually.

The problem is that I would need to to this for a lot of pictures that will vary in scale.

The target solution would be to fix the scale that will allow the sheet in Word to accomodate the most columns, in this case six columns to a scale of 36% and then, in some way, make the scale of 36% apply also to all other pictures pasted from Excel that will range between 1 and 6 columns in width.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards

Create template with selectable sections in microsoft Word

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 05:22 AM PDT

Greetings folks,

  So I am a Network Engineer and we are trying to create a design package in Microsoft Word.  While I know what I am trying to do can be done with a database, we are trying to create the form using Microsoft Word.  The objective of the document would be as such....

An engineer would open the template (I think it would be a template) and before creating the content of the document, they would be able to select the sections that need to be in the document. 

There could potentially be say 50 sections to the document but the engineer can decide they only need 10 of the 50 sections in the document.

The document may follow something like the below format: 

Layer 1

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 2

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 3

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 4

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 5

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 6

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 7

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Security Section

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

VPN Section

Text and Diagrams may go here

Where the engineer may decide they don't need the Layer 1 Section or the Layer 4 Section which would mean when they publish out that specific document, those sections would not be present.  But they would need the ability to add them in later if it became necessary.  I am thinking of something like the ability to toggle the sections as hidden/visible or something, but not sure what direction to go in.  I imagine I would need to setup the initial document with each section available and then the engineer would be able to select check boxes or something and based on the check boxes selected, the other sections could be programmatically hidden.  I have no real idea of how to go about this process so coming to the community for thoughts and tips.

It may also come to be that the engineer just begins to write the document that already has the sections defined and as they come to a section that they feel is unnecessary, they can just click a check box or some trigger to hide that section.  Again any directional guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Word 2013/PDF

Hyperlinks using the wrong application to view images (bmp & jpg)

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:10 AM PDT

I have two machines, both running Windows 7 and Office 2010. On both machines i have jpg and bmp files associated with Windows Photo Viewer so that in Windows Explorer double clicking a file of this type (or right click and select open or preview) i view the image in Windows Photo Viewer. If i right click and select 'edit' i get the image opened in MS Paint.

 

This happens on both machines.

 

If i create a Word, Powerpoint or Excel file and insert a hyperlink referencing a jpg file or bmp file then i get different results.

 

On one machine the images are opened in MS Paint and in the other opens the images in Windows Photo Viewer. Note that these are the same set of files that behave differently on two different machines.

 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

 

Please note: i have read yards of advice on other forums about setting default associations etc - but this doesn't apply here - because the windows associations are set correctly and work as expected. It is MS Office that for some reason is launching the wrong program.

Double-clicking no longer takes me to/from endnotes

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 01:50 AM PDT

  1. "but in any case, if you double-click on the note reference mark, this will take you to the note. Double-click on the note reference mark in the note to go back to the location in the text."

my problem is this doesn't happen anymore--doubleclicking no longer takes me to/from endnotes. help?

The converter failed to open the file.

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 10:20 PM PDT

Recently installed Office 2013 but still have Office 2010 as well.  When I try to open a Word or Excel file from Explorer, I get the error message: The converter failed to open the file. If I open the application first, I do not get the error: 

The application then actually opens but the file has a name like this: 

Wd0000082.doc in read-only compatibility mode.

These files are from a textbook publisher and were intended for use with Office 2013.

Word Document Screw-Up

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 09:27 PM PDT

So I HAD a word document that was about twenty pages. I hadn't saved it in a few days, it just stays open and it's no big deal. Today, I go to save it, and I figured that it saved everything. Tonight, several hours after the initial save, I go to open the document, and several pages. Gone. I tried to look in the unsaved documents, I could not find it.  Help me! This has happened before and those pages are VERY important to me. Do you know how I can get them back? I have AutoRecover,but I can't find that last version! I'm desperate!

Office picture manager 2010 ois.exe bug

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 09:24 PM PDT

when rotating a picture,

adding a minus sign then 0.

the input box does not allow key in more digits

ie "-0." and key in more number has no responce

similarly, key in "0.5" and try add in minus sign before it does not work either, the cursor simply goes to the end!

there is no problem when rotate -1.##

Although there is a workaround , that is rotate clokwise 359.## = -0.??

Cannot access banded rows in Word 2010

I want to use banded rows in a table in a document in Word 2010 format (*.docx). When I go to 'Table Style Options' the 'Banded Rows' and 'Banded Columns' options are greyed out.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

What to change in printer info in macro

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 07:21 PM PDT

I have had a macro for a while now in MS Word, that would let me print exactly one copy of a document, even if the previous print job had been multiple copies. I have included it here:

Sub PasteUnformattedText()
'
' PasteUnformattedText Macro
' Macro recorded Tue 26 Feb 2013 by Paul
'
    Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
        wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
End Sub
Sub MyPrint()
Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = "\\CYNTHIA-HP\HP LaserJet 1018"
Application.PrintOut Copies:=1
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter
End Sub
Sub TextWidth()
'
' TextWidth Macro
'
'
    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 218
End Sub

Now the boldprint is what i need to change. Obviously, I have a new printer. The old one was shared; this new one is wireless.

What do I need to insert into the macro, to get it to work on this new one? I have the name of the printer, but how many of those backslashes do i need?  And do I insert an IP, or the printer name? I'd experiment on my own, but I'd really prefer not to goof up the macro code here..... :)
