Microsoft Word - Times New Roman font is named Iskoola Pota - BAD!

Microsoft Word - Times New Roman font is named Iskoola Pota - BAD!

Times New Roman font is named Iskoola Pota - BAD!

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I started modifying a document containing mostly Times New Roman font, and pretty soon I noticed that Word 2010 was calling the font Iskoola Pota, which I never heard of.

The font looks like TR, but is called Iskoola Pota.  I have highlighted the text and named the font TR, but eventually the name changes back to Iskoola Pota.  I've never used it!  Didn't know it exists!

What's going on and how do I fix it?

God Bless,

Bill

FILE FORMATS HAVE CHANGED SINCE INSTALLING OFFICE 365 TRIAL

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 02:20 PM PDT

I installed the trial version of office 365 a few months ago, but cancelled it immediately as I no longer needed it. However, my original files - all under Word 2010 format - have been converted to the new office 365 format and I am not able to properly edit them. Furthermore, if I create a new file under Word 2010, it saves under this new office format. When I download word documents from emails etc, they open in the new format. The office 365 word documents all have a 'sign in' option, for example, in the top right corner. I was wondering how I can change all these back to my old Word 2010 format (which is still installed on my computer) because, having no longer got a subscription to office 365, it is causing very annoying problems with my file formats? I have tried deleting all programmes on my laptop which are entitled 'office 365', but no difference has been made.  I just want to go back to my old format!

Printer set to portrait but prints landscape

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 12:12 PM PDT

Everytime I try to print from Microsoft Word, it is printing in landscape.  Windows Vista and 2007 Office.  My Word document is set to portrait and so is the printer.  Is there anywhere else that i need to make sure its checked for portrait?  I have switched to landscape and back to portrait numerous times and on the printer as well...thought maybe something was "stuck".  Appreciate any help or ideas on this.

Microsoft Office Certifications

How do I find the information regarding my Microsoft Word and Power point certifications?

I found a page that says "My Certifications" but it has nothing listed underneath it, even though I have two certifications.

How to fix the width of NBSP in Word 2013?

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Hello!

I have a problem with the NBSP command in the full justification mode. The NBSP generated in Word 2010 by the command ctrl+shift+space or by inserting as special character remains constant in the full justification mode (essential to link a numeric  value to a dimension, e.g. 5 cm, 5NBSPcm ). Which is the right command in Word 2013 to do this?  I can insert NBSP's in the running text with both commands and, yes, the words are linked and shifted together at the end of line, BUT in this version the distances between the words (or numbers) are not kept constant in the full justification mode. The expanse of the 1/4 squad space is not identical with the "space"  in the right justification mode, and therefore no option.

Please, help me (and excuse my bad english).

Thanks in advance

Two column Word 2013 document - edits to column 1 appear in column 2

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 10:46 AM PDT

I am working on a document in Word 2013.  This is a two column document. 

I am trying to add a paragraph to column 1.  The new paragraph is in between two existing paragraphs in column 1.  Half way through the new paragraph text starts appearing at the top of column 2. 

I have added no section breaks to the page - just text.  Is there any way to correct this?  This text seems to be randomly dropped at the top of column 2. 

Paragraphs above the new paragraph are in the correct column.  Paragraph below the new paragraph are in the right column.  One half of the new paragraph is in column 1 (where it should be).  When I try to text in the new paragraph it appears at the top of column 2. 

Does not appear to be any visible breaks or editing symbols.

Is there any guidance available on trouble shooting corrupt Word 2013 documents?

Creating Custom /Replaceable fields in a template

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 10:40 AM PDT

It seems hard to believe that I cannot find a succinct answer to this, given I think it must be a fundamental capability of MS Word.  Here is the deal:

  • Trying to create a standard template (dotx) file in MS Word 2013
  • This is a boilerplate document, within which I want to be able to easily set up some sort of property field to replace various replaceable items within the document each time I create it.  For example, have a field in a contract document called "PARTY1" and another called "PARTY2".  This field may occur many times in the document.
  • When I create a document using this template, then I want to be able to replace the value of this field, one time, and see it now occur throughout the document, wherever I have used these fields.

I have tried using Insert > Quick Parts > Field.... but I am unable to (seeming) create a new fieldname (trying to create in Document Information) and have it stick.

Could someone give me the click by click steps?  I have posted this elsewhere, and folks say "Use Insert > Quickparts" but no more information than that.  

Thx in advance for any help or pointers....

Adding types of Citation References in Word

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 09:48 AM PDT

This is a wonderful feature and as a newly started grad student, I'm going to use it a lot.

I was wondering if there was a way to add a few more commonly used Citation Source Types...

Videos from Websites

Quote Websites

Online Journals

Online Books

Online Articles

Online just about anything

Documentaries (there are films and interviews, but they do not match Citation requirements for documentaries)

Thank you.

Word opens in read-only mode.

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 07:18 AM PDT

I recently installed Office 2013. However, in word I use "Word 1997-03 Document (*.doc)" because the site I publish to does not accept the newer format (.docx). From time to time, one of the documents I am working on opens in read-only mode and the only way to save the changes I make to it is to save it under another name. Once this happens to a document, it keeps happening again over and over. Sometimes, clicking on the folder properties the document is saved in and making sure the read-only option is unselected works, but sometimes not. When that does not work, each time I open the document, it is read-only and even if I save it under another name, the next time I open it, it is again read only. Basically, the only way to edit the document is to rename each time I work on it. I contacted Microsoft Support and they tried to charge me $150 to fix this. Can anyone please help me?

Autosave is Disable: iOS Word App

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 06:15 AM PDT

iOS Word app on iOS 7.

Word 2013 (from Office 365) on Win 8.1.

Updating a document on both platforms.

Make a change on the Windows platform.

On the iOS app I get a pop up that says 'Autosave is Disabled - This file is being edited by other authors. To save your changes, go
to the File menu and tap Save and Refresh.

I can't find a 'File' menu in the iOS app. I have Home, Insert, Layout, Review, and View.

I do have 'Autosave' enabled in the iOS Word app.

Thanks for any help or advice. 

Microsoft Office 2013 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) Crashes on start-up/when opening a document/when saving a document

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT

It's been installed and worked fine for about 10 months, but last weekend Microsoft Word 2013 starting crashing as soon as I tried to open a document. A notification came up about some add-in not working on opening (it seemed a Microsoft-own add-in, if such a thing is possible?), but I foolishly didn't write down the details and the error message hasn't returned since. Microsoft Word now crashes even on opening. Before it reached that stage, I disabled the add-ins I could and saw no improvement. 

Microsoft Excel also crashes whenever I try to save a document (it's fine opening them, just can't do anything more).

Microsoft Powerpoint crashes when I try to open a document.

OneNote seems unaffected.

I haven't uninstalled/re-installed the software because I can't currently find my product key.

Any suggestions on how I could solve the problem? Thanks!

Sorry, Something wrong with you Word

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 09:20 PM PDT

Hello There,

I am facing the same issues, unfortunately, I don't remember the Office Key- but the original is installed on the System- is there a way to note the Office Suite License Key? If I have to re-install.

Also the same problem is with Excel and other Office products.

Kindly advice.

Thanks,

Chetan

Page Numbers go from being useable to Grayed Out

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 04:33 PM PDT

Hi there, I am using Office 365 and running Windows 8.1.

I am using Word to complete uni assignments. When I start a document for the first time the option of inserting page numbers is there. I use it, save it. But when I reopen the document that saving has dropped off and then the page number tab is grayed out and not useable. I have searched on these forums for solutions but nothing seems to be working. I have gone through the steps here. But so far nothing. I have even uninstalled/fixed then reinstalled the programme.

I have also tried the QUICK PARTS then FIELD option, but then it puts the page number in the top left of the page, for my uni standards the page number needs to be in the bottom right. 

I think I have got a quick fix, but would really like something that works properly.

Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Tracy.

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 04:00 PM PDT

When I open a document in Word and go to print it, I get a pop-up that says "There is insufficient memory or disk space. Work cannot display the requested font." I cannot print a Word document, but can print from Publisher and other Office programmes.

Help!

save-all and "close-all" buttons

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

I cannot pin save-all and close-all icons to my Quick Access Tool Bar. These operations do not show in the Word Options list, as they did in word 2007.
