when I try to save a file in ANY format, doc, docx or even txt I get msg:

"You are attempting to open a file that is blocked by your registry policy setting."

Can't save file in ANY format, doc, docx, even txt.

But I've checked them to all be OK to edit. 

I've read what it says here http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/822645 and in help, followed the instructions in Trust Center, but still doesn't work. 

I'm using Office Home and Business '13 on Win 7. I've had this PC and Office for over a year, problem just started today. Help, I can't save anything.

TIA.

numbering comments in Word

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 02:12 PM PDT

In previous versions of Word, the "bubbles" where I write Comments would number the comment.  Apparently, that no longer happens automatically in Word.  (I think I have "Office for Home, Business School," or something like that- it was preinstalled on a Dell I purchased in July.).  Does anyone know how I could set Word to have the comments numbered, and the numbers displayed?

Line Spacing In WORD Documents

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 01:50 PM PDT

Hi: I am not a frequent user of Word or Excel, but usually manage by exploration and availing of the "help" feature.

One frequent frustration concerns line spacing. I often create technical or other documents where I must crowd explanatory text at the bottom. I use narrow or custom margins to create needed space.

But, in spite of that tactic, I still must squeeze text using small point size and minimal line spacing. The line spacing tab on the ribbon seems to permit minimal spacing using point size as the criteria.

However, when I select or enter small point size the result is text with the tops or bottoms of the line of text chopped off. I just do not comprehend how a person should be using the line spacing feature or why it chops the text off.

Here is what I want to achieve: Say my text size is 1/4" (forget points for a minute). And I need 1/16" spacing between each line in order to squeeze all the needed data at the document bottom. As another example I have 1/2" high text and I want 1/8 line spacing?

Word seems to thwart my attempts based on some mysterious unknown ratio of line spacing to type size. And that would make sense in many cases to provide a legible good appearing document. But that ratio should be easy to override. I am struggling with the same problem in Excel.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron Reeland

word 2013 won't open word files sent by mac user

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 11:30 AM PDT

I've had this problem on and off for a couple months.  Any thoughts? 

I've noticed that sometimes shutting down and restarting the computer will fix the problem, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the file.  In all cases, it's been a word file sent to me by someone using a mac to my host based outlook 2013.

Thanks,

Can't open ACL files

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 11:06 AM PDT

Hello

I have found my .acl files but cannot open them. I double click and can't open them, even when I open IE to do so. It does nothing. Is there something I am missing about these files? I'm not at all familiar with them, but I do know how to double-click!

Many thanks

Jane

Using Word as an Alternative to Scrivener

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 07:46 AM PDT

One of the best software products for writing fiction is Scrivener, which I own.  However, I also have a Surface tablet and Scrivener has not been ported to it (nor will it likely ever be - they haven't even done an iOS version).  This means lugging a laptop if I want to write and I was hoping to make travel tablet-only.

My use of Scrivener is really light and I'm wondering if there is a way to replicate the core functionality in Word.

What Scrivener does is:

  • On the left plane there is a list of texts - think of them as passages.
  • On the right is the editor window, which is just a text editor.
  • Select which you want on the left and edit on the right.

The key is that you can move the passages around in the left pane which is massively useful - and you don't have to do a copy/paste as you would in Word if you wanted to move a scene from Chapter 4 into Chapter 2.  It also allows you to see all your scenes in one glance instead of scrolling through 100 pages.

Another key feature is the ability to say "now assemble all those scenes that I've ordered the way I want into an RTF".

I don't mind getting down and dirty into macros if I need to - just wondering if there is this word of "outline overview" view or if it can be simulated/recreated in Word somehow.

Now what if i want to display a different text string, say "Pick the date" in place of "click here to enter a date"?

Like this:

How this can be done?

Word "Revision marking" not working.

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 02:44 AM PDT

I previously created a Word file with revision marks displayed under Office 2007.  When I opened it under Office 2013, the revision marks (i.e., deletion, addition markings).  I can only see vertical lines in red in the left-side margin where text lines are modified.

I could not find any function keys I could click to reactivate this feature.

Will you tell me how to do it?

Thanks

copy and paste

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 08:45 PM PDT

I have been using Microsoft word 2013 for a few months. I was always able to copy and paste multiple lines/sentences with no problem. Recently everytime I copy a section, and paste it, it only pastes the first line... how do I fix this? I haven't changed any settings. I tried looking in the paste options and cant find any reason why this is happening.

Excel and Word print files -Office 2013

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 07:25 PM PDT

I have an HP 5P printer that WAS connected to my computer until about an hour ago.  I apparently had an unprinted job so I disconnected the printer from the computer port and rebooted it, attempting to delete the reference to the unprinted document.  When I rebooted the computer, the reference is still there, even though the printer is completely disconnected from the computer port.

The print reference, in both Word and Excel is:

HP LaserJet 5P

Offline 1 document waiting

Where USB001

Comment:

So, I disconnected the printer from the port again, deleted the printer from the registry and rebooted.  Now, when I open either Excel or Word,  I still get reference shown above for USB001 PLUS the following:

HP LaserJet 5P (copy 1)

Status: Offline

Where USB004

Comment:

How do I get rid of these references in Word and Excel.  I don't want to print these documents.  I don't even know what they are and I don't even care what they are!

I don't have this problem with other programs, for example Turbo Tax.  I have been using my HP 5P to print my tax returns for 20 years, but I just opened Turbotax and the HP 5P is no longer listed as a printer, I assume, because I just deleted it from the registry.

Again, I don't want Copy 1.  I want HP LaserJet 5P on USB001, with no documents waiting  By the way, when I open Printers in Windows, HP 5P is not listed anywhere.  Also, there are no printer dialog boxes available in either Word or Excel for this "waiting" print job so I can delete it like I normally would.

How do fix this?  I would appreciate if, with any explanation, you could include an explanation of why this happened.

Forced Page Breaks

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 04:07 PM PDT

Hello, 

I'm working with a Word 2010 document that forces an entire page break once I hit "enter" after first line of each page, starting with page 2 ( does not happen on the first page) 

I've tried checking paragraph settings in "Line and Page Breaks" (both checking and un-checking boxes for Keep with Next, Keep Lines Together, etc) , Page Set Up Vertical Alignment to "top"

For example, I have 600-word letter that goes to the second or third page, it will print 1 line on each page (starting on page 2), making the document roughly 60 pages total. 



Would appreciate any other suggestions :-)!
