Word Error Message

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 02:34 PM PDT

I get this error message every time I try to start a new document, print, close Word, and pretty much everything else. I've uninstalled and re-installed Office, ran updates, ran scans for errors and still no luck! My other programs like Excel work fine- it's just Word. Thanks in advance for any help!

Office 365 (Word Problems)

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 11:24 AM PDT

I just purchased Office 365 Personal two days ago.  I have loaded it on to my desk top computer (Windows 7- Home Premium.  All applications work very well except Word.  Every time I open Word and attempt to make any selection of the templates, I get the following message;  "Microsoft Word has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The entire program (365) closes.  Never got a solution.

Please help.

Office Word 2013 will not center text on custom size page

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 11:06 AM PDT

I bought Word 2013 in May 2014.  Now I want to center text words 

on custom size paper.

It will center the text on 8.5x11 inch paper but not custom.

My printer (HP) company has check the printer and it is fine.

I am not very tech savy and centering text on custom sizes is the ONLY special

task I want to accomplish.  No two sided printing or other stuff.

Can you give me step by step instructions????
Yesterday I spent over 6 hours trying to get help by phone and got hung up on

5 times, went through at least 10 representatives and the last one said I must pay

$99 to get help for one month.  

All I want is the Word to work for one "extra" function, it is only three months old.

Needless to say, I am extremely unhappy with Microsoft. 

I think I have Windows 7 but it maybe 8.....I just got the new computer in May 2014.

Macro to create CSV in MS Word

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 10:20 AM PDT

I'd like to create a macro that will skip thru each control on a Word template (i.e., plain text, checkbox, combobox, etc.) in order on the page and write out the data in each control to a comma separated file.

I've used the record option to create macros before, but unclear on how to program this type of function.

Anyone have any ideas that could help me out.  Tips and/or sample code would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Editing the points of a line in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 10:01 AM PDT

In previous versions of Word, I was able to draw complex shapes by inserting a line, then adding points and editing them. In Word 2013, when I click on the line I've inserted (Insert > Shapes > choose straight line), the Edit Shape option is greyed out.

Choosing Curve or Freeform or Scribble doesn't help because Word "controls" these shapes.

Is there a way to draw irregular shapes of my own design in Word 2013? Thanks.

Microsoft Office Home and Student: Problem window when opening Word or Excel

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 07:53 AM PDT

I have a problem with my Office programs. When I try to open Word I get this message, "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?" The thing is that when I press the "Repair Now" option, it doesn't do anything. I have also tried the task of opening it in safemode by pressing the start button with the R key, only to have that message appear again. I have also tried uninstalling the software and then entering the same code off the package to install it again, but sadly that has failed to do anything. The programs ran great a month ago, but over the past 2 weeks this has just happened out of nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adding a row in a Word (2007) table does not follow format of previous row

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 06:37 AM PDT

For example, I put 6 points above on my text paragraph. Then I add a new row by pressing 'tab' at the last cell and a new row appears. But the new row does not have 6 points above the paragraph and I have to format every row I add. I remember that I never had to do that in version 2003 of word.

I don't know how to make a new row follow the format of the previous row.

Thank you.

Import RTF into Word with 'extras'

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 04:53 AM PDT

Hi there,

Sorry about the vague title but I was unsure of how to phrase the question.

I want to import an RTF file into Word but I wish to know if there is a way I can insert tags into the RTF file that will perform certain functions in Word during the import.

For example - could I insert a tag into the RTF document that word would translate as the start of a section or perhaps a tag that would add the marked text into the footer.

I think the answer will probably be 'no' but I thought I'd ask the Word experts.

Hope my question makes sense.

Regards,

Lee

Virtual keyboard popping up when I touch document page

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:32 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013, windows 8.1, Lenovo thinkpad Yoga S1 in tablet mode.

Whenever I touch the page inside a document in word, the virtual keyboard pops up immediately.

I may not want to type anything, I may just want to scroll, and my finger took  long time, or I want to select, or just reading and thinking.

How can I disable auto keyboard for word? and keep it popping up manually.

How do I report Security Vulnerability in Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 07:42 PM PDT

Hello I posted an earlier discussion post, but was never looked at, or responded to, so I'm rephrasing as a question.

How do I report a security vulnerability in Microsoft Office 365 Version 15.0.4641.1003 (current at time of post)?

When selecting "Manage Account" under Account settings, the default browser will try to open an URL in a new tab. The URL is not percent encoded and if the URL contains a space character (in particular the MachineKey field value in the query string) then the default browser (affects Firefox or Chrome) will attempt to open multiple URLs/tabs. For my particular MachineKey, a connection to a spam/malicious website website is established each time (occasionally blocked by my antivirus). It would be worse if any of these websites were phishing for Microsoft account details, as every user is expecting to enter their account/password on the correct tab.

For example a URL of the form:

  http://o15.officeredir.microsoft.com/r/rlidOfficeManagementPortal?ver=15&app=winword.exe&...&MachineKey=12345-678-900000 XXX


will attempt to connect to "XXX", despite "12345-678-900000 XXX" being the MachineKey

This was determined by examining the 'command line' column of processes in Task Manager and verified with run.

Internet explorer will however take multiple tokens on the command line and interpret as one URL, but really this URL should be surrounded in quotation marks or percent encoded, so that all browsers will open up a link properly.

I have tried reporting this to Microsoft Office telephone support, but have been disappoint that this issue has not been escalated, but rather having been told that this a problem with Firefox and Chrome.

Even if this was a problem with Firefox or Chrome, shouldn't MS still percent encode the URL so that their customers (many of which are using firefox/chrome) are not redirected to phishing/malicious websites?

Word goes dysfunctional when saving

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 05:26 PM PDT

Whenever I save in Word 365 the program freezes/grays out for a few minutes while a "Not Responding" shows up in the title bar. After those few minutes it goes back to normal. I don't mind Word needing time to save, but the freezing up/not responding thing is starting to get annoying and hinder my work. I also use Powerpoint and it doesn't happen there, so this is a Word thing. It occurs no matter where I save (hard drive or Skydrive). Is there a way to fix it (preferably where I wouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall for the like 10th time)?

Changing default font in Word 365

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:57 PM PDT

In earlier versions of Word, changing the font of Normal style in a document would change all of the styles based on Normal. In Office 365, nothing happens.

I am actually trying to change the default font for all new documents. I have opened Normal.dotm. All my 40 or so styles are ultimately based on Normal, but if I change Normal (in this case from TNR to Arial) again nothing happens. What has changed? I could go to each of the styles and change each one, but that seems to be a waste of time, and anyway defeats the point of having all styles based on Normal and won't work in existing documents.

Maybe my problem comes from having continued to upgrade the template from Word 2003, through 2007, 2010 and now 365. I imagine that the problem would not occur with a new Normal.dotm. Or has MS changed the system so that Normal no longer drives all styles. Help please.

Please don't tell me to go to Home, Font, Set as Default, as that does not work. Or to Manage Styles, Set Defaults which equally does not work (see pics). I have also disabled all Add-ins and restarted Word.
