Microsoft Word - word 2010 table of contents headings

word 2010 table of contents headings

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:46 PM PDT

Hi,all, I need to create a TOC for my word doc. After I clicked `Table of Contents` and selected a style in a blank page, I found that the TOC created includes page numbers for not only the titles for each section (numberings) and subsection (numberings) but also includes figures, tables, even the doc title, so I am wondering how to display the TOC for sections only.

cheers

 

Word window resizes after I "save as" pdf

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:37 PM PDT

How can I stop my Word window from resizing after I create a pdf?  I'm using "save as" pdf.  My current Word window allows me to view two pages side by side.  When I "save as" pdf, the pdf file is created as I expect, but the Word window reduces in size significantly and sometimes relocates to the upper left corner of the desktop.

My computer has a new monitor and a new video card.  Could either of these have something to do with the behavior?

Header area too large

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:33 PM PDT

The document has a table in both the header and footer, and the body of the document was also a table. Changing the alignment setting didn't work. But if I went into the table properties of the one in the body of the document, I changed the Text Wrapping from 'Around' to 'None'. The header box jumped back up to the normal amount (1/2 inch) - not 60% of the page.

Merge Errors

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:30 PM PDT

I have a very long document that contains Headings, numerous Cross-references, and a Table of Contents.  In addition, there are Merge Fields throughout the document.  Problem #1:  Once I merge and update the fields, I receive the following error message where the page numbers should appear in the Table of Contents:

ERROR! BOOKMART NOT DEFINED

Problem #2:  The Headings are not updating.  All of the Articles are now set to "Article 1". 

Please help me resolve these problems.  Thank you.

Images not embedded

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:20 PM PDT

I have retrieved an old WORD 6 document, but when i load it, I get this message, "This document contains links that may refer to other files..." etc.

I guess they are now filed elsewhere, for they don't appear in the document - I just get "place holders".

How can I find out exactly what files it needs ?  

Word 2013 changing Backspace input to Scroll+NextPage

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:10 PM PDT

I have one of my mouse buttons custom assigned to perform a backspace when pressed. This is useful for editing and works everywhere else, including on browsers, videogames, and other word processing software. I just installed Word 2013 and, instead of giving me a backspace, pressing the button scrolls me to the top of the next page. If I press it again, it scrolls me to the top of the following page. Even more bizarre, another mouse button I have assigned to the input "Alt+Right" scrolls me to the top of the current, and then previous page. These effects also look different from regular page-up and page-down.

I've only seen this behavior on Word 2013, so it makes me think there's some sort of command override in the software somewhere. All my other custom mouse buttons work fine. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix this? Thanks.

When I start Word 2013, I get an error dialog "the directory name is not valid" but the directory in the message is valid.

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 11:52 AM PDT

When I start Word 2013, I get an error dialog "the directory name is not valid", even though I am not trying to open a file. Furthermore, the directory name in the message is a valid one and one I have permissions to access. I have saved files there in Word and in other programs and opened them again.

I've tried removing my normal.dotm file, to have Word recreate a new one, that has not fixed the problem.

Word 2007 - inserted xref causing 'section breaks (next page)'

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 11:51 AM PDT

Been struggling to figure out why this happens in many of my documents... I'll delete the xref, re-enter, delete the section (next page) breaks and it will look alright, however, when I save or print preview it, the section breaks are back putting the xref on next page by itself, followed by another section break - putting the rest of that paragraph on the subsequent page... most appreciative of any help on this

How do I remove this text background/highlight?

How do I remove the black? I took it from Codecademy and pasted it into Word using Insert > Object > openDocument Text. Also, I would like to keep the rest of the formatting.

Converting endnotes to footnotes

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:57 AM PDT

Hello!

I have tried searching for everything around this topic, but no answer anywhere. My question is simple, I need to convert some 59 endnotes in the end of my document to footnotes (at the bottom of each respective page).

How do I do this? All the convert options are greyed out when I open the Notes Dialogue, and I cannot convert anything.

Is this because my current endnotes are in placed inside [brackets]?

Thank you!

Same information in multiple documents

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:20 AM PDT

Hi Microsoft Community,

How would I create a word document that will automatically update other word documents with that information? For example, I enter their name on one and it enters it into 4 other documents. How would I do that? I am currently running Microsoft office 2010.  I tried the includetext but received errors. I am familiar with linking excel cells to a word documents.

Thank You,

Restrict Editing of image position but not image itself

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:16 AM PDT

Hi,

I have restricted editing using the developer tools in my word document.

I have an image that I would like to be an 'exception' and have selected the image and allowed 'everyone' the ability to freely edit it. However, when they open the document, the image is restricted and they can't edit it, what have I missed?

Thanks

Word 2010 Quick Styles Don't Stick

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 07:27 AM PDT

I've read the other threads on Quick Style sets and haven't found an answer that works for me, so I'm going to ask again hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm having an issue where some of the styles in a style set I save don't stick the next time I apply the style. I'm pretty savvy with Word: I've got Normal style set how I want it; I've made sure styles are "Based on" appropriate styles; etc. I have two different style sets I have to use, one for our customer and one internally. I set the styles, save the respective documents as Quick Style Sets, but when I close Word, reopen, and try to apply a set, some of the styles haven't stuck. This particularly happens with my "List Bullet Last" styles (i.e., last line of a bulleted list) at all levels: the bullets vanish from the style set, even though they're "Based on" the appropriate "List Bullet" style. Other style settings (e.g., Headings) seem to come through just as I've set them. Thank you.

Spell Check Stops Working on Office 2013

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 06:27 AM PDT

We have over 100 computers running Windows 7 and Office 2013. There was a recent update which caused major issues and now some of the user's are experiencing issues with the Spell Check. It does not work for the English language which is the default language. It shows as if the proofing tools are not installed. I spoke to Microsoft about this and they said it might have been related to the update and suggested to do an Online Repair on Office. I have done this to resolve the issue but now the user's who's Office was repaired are having the same issue again.

Excel import from Word: Extracting data from merged cells in a Word 2010 Table using VBA

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 03:34 AM PDT

Hello!

I have a number of Word 2010 docs I am extracting information from into an Excel 2010 document using VBA macros.

The Word 2010 document has a table in with merged cells; both vertically and horizontally.

when I run the Excel VBA macro to extract the information from the Word table I get a

"Run-time error 5991:
cannot access individual rows in this collection becuase the table has vertically merged cells."

I am pointing to the cell in the Word table from Excel using oActiveDoc.Tables(5).Rows(4).Cells(2)-  the first two rows have their first cells merged.

This cell is merged with...
...this cell
This cell has the information I want.

So... short of opening each doc and manually unmerging cells is there a way in VBA to referance rows in a Word table when some preceeding rows have *some* of their cells merged?

Any help much appreciated,

Richard

Footnote numbering style

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:37 AM PDT

I would recommend to change Numbering format listbox to match the numbering formats that are used as regular numbering - thus you could define your own numbering styles (i.e. *), *-, *.) or choose from existing, not just choose the number style (i.e.. 1,2,3/a,b,c ...). It maybe is possible to somehow change it, however I did not find way how. (or at least change the custom mark edit box to have the same functionality as Number format edit box has in Numbering format form)

Can I restrict editing of an image?

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 01:38 AM PDT

Hi,

There seem to be similar questions on here but not quite what I'm after...

I need to 'lock' floating images in my word document so that they cannot be moved or resized.

(My images are anchored to the page' not text and although the anchor is 'locked' the image can still be edited which I don't want)

I have tried the Developer 'Restrict Editing' tools but it seems that my images can still be changed - restricting editing seems to only apply to text(?).

I don't want to put the images in a header/footer for a number of reasons.

I usually use InDesign where I can simple lock and item and am new to Word so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Microsoft Word slow to open Open Dialog Box

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:44 AM PDT

Running Windows 8.1, Office 2010.  Just recently Word started to act up and when I open up Word for the first time, then click OPEN, the Open windows shows up, but it takes more than 15 secs for the window to populate with my folders.  All folders are on my local drive (not on a network drive).  I've tried disabling Norton Antivirus and then opening the Open Dialog box, but it's still slow.

After the window finally populates, if I close the window and then try again to open the Open DIalog box, there is no delay.

Any suggestions?

Macro to Pull Footnotes

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:36 PM PDT

Hi All -

First off thanks as always - always appreciate the advice given here.

Is there a macro available (or would it be possible to create one) that pulls all footnotes and preferably puts them in a table. I have documents (many) with 200+ footnotes that I want each footnote in a new row in a table. If that's not possible - at least copying them unformatted to a new document would be an okay start.

Again thanks!

Macros disappear

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:26 PM PDT

They were all stored in normal.dot.

I usually first record a dummy macro through the keystrokes and then manipulate them as I need them. Somehow, I find this a more convenient way to record a macro.

It is not only the macros that have gone. I use regular expressions, and Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5 was also in my reference list for regex to work. The reference was also gone too.

I need to know how to set up black as my default type, color. It never occurred to me that it wouldn't be.

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:20 PM PDT

I am trying to make good looking documents formatted in a specific way. Typical of my trade, which is that of a writer so I need black type using Times new Roman 12 point regular I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to communicate to write anything because I am disabled. I only have the use of one hand and all the fingers on it, so forgive me if this formatting is strange because Dragon can be cantankerous. Usually I go back and fix all the mistakes because that's the only way Dragon learns, but sometimes for emails I let it go. For my writing. I perfect, everything because I have a degree in English and a Masters degree in creative writing, but that's not the point point is to create a good-looking template and I have one on my Macintosh, so I know I can do it, but I had the same trouble with the Mac in that it was doing whatever color it wanted, but I think I've fixed it on my Mac because I've been using a Mac for about 25 years, whereas I've been using a PC for about three years so I'm not as good with it, and my writers template is not perfected so often I write on the PC move the document to the Mac formatted, then move it back to the PC. I would like to cut out some of these steps, because they are redundant, but I have been reluctant to give up my Macintosh, because I used the PC for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, although I am beginning to use the PC for most everything, including email and searching the web. But right now I need a good template set up the way that my profession requires. And of course it requires black ink. Thank you for any and all help.
Also, sometimes I pick up my email from my Mac, so I'm a little slower responding because then I have to find it on my Dell in Outlook, a dreadful program. Black is the default text color. I opened a blank page and started speaking into it and all the text was black. So I guess that is the default color, which makes sense

Need to combine several protected documents into one continuous multi-page document

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 03:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I need to combine several protected WORD documents into ONE continuous mufti-page document.

I am using Microsoft Word 200\7.  Documents I need to combine are password protected and must remain that way.

Documents were created with most recent version of Microsoft Word (but that should make no difference).

Due to protection on documents, I am unable to copy/paste identical format into new word document.

So, any ideas on how to accomplish what I need to do?  Am I attempting the impossible?
