I am having this problem with Windows 8 - I have installed Office 2013 at least 5 times and it still will not run.  Since there is no "start" option on my startup menu, what do you suggest?

Unable to open Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 12:35 PM PDT

I am unable to open the Word and Excel program or any files. Whenever I click to open the programs I get a message "Unable to open" and the suggestion to use Control Panel to repair the files, which I have done. The Control Panel said that files were successfully repaired but I still get the message and cannot open the files or programs.

Please would someone help.

Document content missing

Split from this thread.


On 4 or 5 occasions, including this morning.  I had saved a document, plus it was automatically saving.  When I got ready to upload the document it said it was in a docm form, so the I could not load the document.  I did save as word for word 2013, when I opened it again all of my work, except the title page and one reference on the reference page had disappeared.  I had this problem when I first installed office 2013, so in the past I had been very cautious and didn't save on my portable drive.  I have looked everywhere but nothing shows up in any locations and it doesn't even have the option to restore the previous version.

Can "Ignore All" be made persistent?

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 11:14 AM PDT

This is for Word 2010, but I've had the same yearning for all versions of Word before that, ever since I switched from WordPerfect.

I often work on documents that use unusual words, or made-up words. When I spell-check, they are always identified as spelling errors.

I do not want to add them to my dictionary, because in another document I might very well want the spell checker to identify them as spelling errors.

I do not want to create a custom dictionary, because I would be creating a different one for every document I work on (very cumbersome).

If I use "Ignore All" I can get Word to ignore the word wherever it appears in the document, but I have to do that again each time I re-open the document. Very cumbersome if I have 50 such words in each document and have to re-Ignore-All all of them each time I open the document.

As a result of this, the spell checker has become pretty much useless to me since the squiggly red line below a word has lost its meaning.

WordPerfect used to have an Ignore-All type feature, which would persist between sessions. I think it was called a Document Dictionary. It was specific to the particular document. Is there any way to get the same effect in Word, perhaps with a macro or VBA?

I am not a macro or VBA programmer, so though I've tried to program this, I haven't gotten very far. Initially I thought there might be a VBA function to create variables that would stick with the document and would persist across sessions, and that I could implement a "document dictionary" using such variables. Then one macro would first do an "Ignore All" for the selected word, and then add a selected word to the document dictionary. A second macro, which would execute on open, would automatically do an "Ignore All" for every word in the document dictionary.

Another thought I had was to use the Language -> Do not spellcheck this word feature. One macro would search for a selected word throughout the document and "do not spellcheck" it wherever it appeared. That would persist across sessions, but I'd have to re-run the macro if I add the word somewhere else in the document.

Has anyone created a macro or set of macros that can implement a persistent, document-specific "Ignore-All" feature?

Thank you

Word 2007 window open unexpectedly

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 10:17 AM PDT

I realise when I open a Word 2007 document from "Recent Item" option or from a folder, the last minimised Word 2007 document opens up. When I open a Word 2007 file, it maximises the last minimised Word file as well.

I realise, it opens the Word 2007 document I selected, and the last Word 2007 document I opened (minimised) also maximises. I do not want that. It is not about opening more than one tab, but Word 2007 document maximising unexpectedly. Is there some option to get rid of this feature?

Use a Macro to "Edit Recipient List" in Word 2010

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 09:08 AM PDT

I have an Excel database with the following fields:  Volunteer Name; Days of the week (Mon to Sat); & Skills Required.

Under days of the week it is either the early or late shift the work.  For each skill column, it is either Yes or No.

I have a Word mail merge document that creates a table with the volunteers and the skills they possess.  To create a report for each shift on each day, I edit the recipient list.

I tried to record a macro that would capture the actions in the Edit Recipient List, but it does show any steps.

By hand, I select All for each day of the week and then select the single shift I want, i.e.  Monday Early.

Is there a way to edit the recipient list using a macro?

Fed up with constant reinstallations

Why do I have to re-install Office code every time I use it? I've signed in about 6 times since I bought Office Home & Student 2013

AutoCorrect entries are missing

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:12 AM PDT

Split from this thread.


I have had a bummer of a thing occur. I'm in the middle of writing a time-crunched and very big report. I spent a couple of hours last week making some fantastic new autocorrect entries (Word 2010) but within a few days they had all disappeared. I've looked through these and other forums and I've tried a few things, but honestly I don't know about making macros or normal templates and I've even struggled to find the *acl entries, so I am prepared to wear the loss and start again.

BUT I want to get it right from the very beginning. Could you please outline steps I can take to ensure my autocorrect entries never disappear again or, if they do, which for whatever bizarre reason seems to happen a lot, that I can easily go to some backup file (which I'd commit to updating each time I make a bunch of new autocorrect entries) and wave a wand and restore it.

I'd be so grateful for your help.

Many thanks

In printing out an an envelope (using the Custom Envelope size), does not print out an address

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:11 AM PDT

In Word there is an option, to allow the user to set a Custom Size for an envelope.

1)  In Word 2013, I set the Custom Size for an envelope, added the From/To Address and printed out the envelope on my Epsom LP1022 - unfortunately, the envelope came out blank.

2)  I did exactly the same in Word 2010, but the envelope was printed out, with text on it.

I did (1) & (2) a few times, but the results were the same - so does this mean that there is a bug with Word 2013?

No Compatibility option at File | Info

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 06:50 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

The installation of Office 2013 that I am looking at does not have a compatibility button on the Info page as described. Even when I do a save as to an older document as the new format I cannot edit the opened file despite it showing no restrictions. What gives?

less space in numbering

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 06:49 AM PDT

I have a table and in the left column are the numbered section names for the document.  The space Word automatically inserts between the number and the section name is way too wide.  How do I reduce the space down to like one space?  Now, it's like five or six spaces.

My Microsoft office 2013 has disappeared !

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 05:18 AM PDT

Hi all, I've been using an Asus notebook for about a month now and have just tried to access my word documents but I can't get into them. Also when I click on any of the office programmes none of them come up.

Extra (useless) headings appearing due to summary addition

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 02:12 AM PDT

Hello, there!

When I add the summary to the one of my documents, the navigation pannel displays extra headings that shouldn't be there (marked in red in the first figure). I don't know why this is occurring and would like to change it by eliminating them. This is important to me because this document needs to be converted to PDF with the correct headings (without the highlighted part). The second figure shows how the PDF is now.

Thanks!

The numbering format in Office 365 isn't working properly. I never change the setting before and I can't seem to reset it either. The numbering seems to disappeared and replace with small bullets.

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 06:20 PM PDT

Microsoft 2013 was running just fine but all of a sudden an error started coming up nonstop but not when I start it, when I am in the middle of typing, the error  says "Microsoft has stopped working" then " Microsoft word is restarting" and then it closes.

Is there any way to fix this error I have tried looking at different posts with no luck

Delete a folder.

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 04:27 PM PDT

I am currently using Microsoft Word 2010 and have the following problem.

In my document library I have a folder showing that I do not know how to get rid of. After I have completed a backup I always get a message telling me to check my backup results and come across the following message:-

Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\ALAN\Documents\Alan Documents\Alan Cooper. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))

It also shows as this if I go to my documents.

Is there any way I can delete this from my pc ?
