Random Blank Spaces at Bottom of Word Doc

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis with a lot of footnoting, and annoyingly it frequently happens that two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the footnote section) on a given page. Fiddling around with the footnotes (increasing or decreasing their length), or with the body, sometimes helps, but this is not ideal--I shouldn't need to alter what I'm saying artificially in order to use much needed space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

Office Save as > Contacting the server for information

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Bad User Experience:

 

When I try to save a document, sometimes it takes a VERY long time to browse to a location.

 

File >> save as >> click the browse folder icon below.

 

 

Often I will get this message box for up to 10 – 15 seconds or longer!

 

I have no idea why it takes so long (whether it be OneDrive or sharepoint or something else) but it is frustrating that it takes so long even if I only want to save to my desktop.

 

 

Thanks,

Ryan

bug report: SynonymInfo causes Out Of Memory error with certain words

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Certain words -- "walking" and "onboard" are two -- cause a runtime error when used with Synonym info.

To reproduce, enter this into the Immediate Window of the Word VBA window:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walking").Word

You'll get error 5824, Insufficient memory or disk space. Most words work fine, e.g.:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walk").Word

No error there.

Doing a quick Google search nets that this bug has been around in Word Interop since at least 2002! Here's an SO post from 2012: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12314157/get-synonyminfo-throws-insufficient-memory-exception-for-some-words 

Watermark/template

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:05 AM PDT

My boss just installed word on the only computer that doesn't have internet connection. I've tried to place a picture in the background but it keeps moving around. Is there any way that I can create a watermark and then use it  as a template?

Is it possible to link caption numbering to 'Title'?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I have created a new multilevel list style for my thesis in Word, with 'Title' having the chapter number (e.g. Chapter 1), and 'Heading 1' being 1.1, 'Heading 2' being 1.1.1 etc.

I would like to number my tables and figures as 1.1, 1.2 and so on, but it only gives me the option to link to heading 1, which gives me table numbers such as 1.2.1.

I would like to avoid changing my multilevel list style if possible, so is there a way to link to the 'Title' heading, instead of 'Heading 1'?

Thanks!

Double Sided Printing - Word 2013

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 08:27 AM PDT

Unable to print double-sided at all from Word.

Double-sided works from "WordPad", Adobe, etc.  Printer is Epson NX625 with latest drivers.

Printer settings in Backstage and preferences are set for double-sided?

What's wrong?

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back? It just won't let me delete the bland spake between the 2 paragraphs.

Then I will do things like press enter at the beginning of a paragraph to move it down one space, and it will only jump the paragraph an entire page instead of just doing what I am wanting .... which is simply moving it down one space.  It seems to have a mind all its own. So frustrating!

Delete printer list in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:58 AM PDT

Hi,

Whenever I try to take a printout in Word 2013, all my earlier printers show up in the drop-down menu (File>Print>Printer). I have already removed all the unused printers in Devices and Printers window but it still shows up in Word and other office applications.

How do I get rid of this as this is confusing? 

Thanks,

Good morning,

I need to create a drop down box that will auto fill with selections in the drop down list, when the first few letter are typed in.  I have a list of about 50 names that need to be in the drop list.  Here is a snap shot of where it will be placed on the document. 

Thanks,

Word 2013 suddenly started to browse backwards through my document, completely to the top, and hangs right now, i can only cancel it.

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:01 AM PDT

I even got something more strange today. Word started suddenly to browse through my document backwards, and reformat every number, bullet that it found... And Word is currently hanging, I can only cancel it through the task manager.

Why is this error occurring? Any ideas?

When I try to open/save a document from/to my OneDrive Account, Word 2013 always crashes and restarts

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:53 PM PDT

My OneDrive wasn't automatically syncing so I merged my PC's documents and OneDrive folders together as one. (note: this is irreversible). Using Word and OneDrive worked for weeks after doing this. But now all the sudden, whenever i try to open a file from OneDrive or save it to OneDrive, Word always crashes and restarts. I can open my OneDrive documents on other computers without Word 2013 crashing. And I can create new files and save them to non-OneDrive places on my computer.

I've tried OneDrive troubleshooter, checking my add-ons, disconnecting my Microsoft account and etc. But nothing has fixed the problem.

p. s. i also have Windows 8.1

Word 2013 will not open for me.

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 07:36 PM PDT

When I click the word icon, a pop-up comes up saying ''Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?'' and I click yes, but then another pop-up comes up saying ''We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be cleaned as a result. Would you like us to repair now?'' I've clicked repair but couldn't find much help. I've tried to run Word as the administrator but it still won't work.

I purchased Microsoft Office less than a year ago, and this has happened about 3-4 months ago. I'm back to college Monday so really need to sort this out asap.

Can't do envelopes and labels from Word 2000 on my new Epson WF-3620 printer

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:07 PM PDT

The printer works fine on all facets of work...except, it will NOT print a Standard Avery label sheet from the rear slot paper feeder.  I can use that rear feeder from notepad, from a regular document, and can print Avery disk labels/case insert labels from that feeder;  but when I set it up under Tools >Envelopes and Labels....regardless of the setting, it just ejects the sheet of labels and prints the info on a plain piece of paper from the cassette.  Epson has spent hours trying to figure it out, but has come to the conclusion that it is something within Word that is causing the problem.  What's wrong?
