Microsoft Word - Getting XP docs to display on Windows 7

Microsoft Word - Getting XP docs to display on Windows 7

Getting XP docs to display on Windows 7

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 02:05 PM PDT

I have moved Word docs created on an XP machine to my Windows 7 laptop (using a flash drive). Once I copied the docs onto my Windows 7 laptop, the Word docs don't open. Their icon is red, and when I try to open them, it thinks I'm opening graphic files. How can I get my Word docs to open correctly on my laptop?

Mouse "Stop" when an Object is Inserted in MS Word 2013 and 2010

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 01:07 PM PDT

Hello guys,

Environment:

MS Word 2010 and 2013

MS Windows 7

I have a specif template (normal.dotm), where there is a simple VB function.

If it was necessary I can share it to solve this problem.

Problem:

When try to insert a Object, such a shortcut inside the document, by clicking: Insert tab >> Object >> Object >> tab Create from File --> Browse and chose --> tick "Link to File" and "Display as icon".

Normally it supposed to work normally, but doesn't in my case.

The problem is, when the icon is inserted I can't select with the mouse pointer, for example, double-click is used to select a single word, and after the icon insertion this behavior doesn't work anymore. The right-button do not work work as well.

It is very strange, because almost the same code is used on MS Excel and MS PowerPoint with the same objective and works perfect.

Thanks in advance, 

Felipe

page numbering on Word 2013

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 12:09 PM PDT

Hello. Hopefully an easy thing to remedy- I have created a large Word document with several sections, some of which have their own numbering (i, ii and 1,2,3). The only difficulty is the first page which says '1' at the bottom and I don't want a page number of the first page. Every time I try to delete this one page number it seems to mess up the rest of the document which is numbered appropriately. Hopefully you can make sense of this and provide some guidance, thanks.

Updating Selected Formulas in WORD 2013

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 11:51 AM PDT

Hi

In the 2010 version of WORD I can use the F9 key to update the values of formulas in a table.  In WORD 2013 (Home and Student) this doesn't work. I have to update all fields in 2013 manually and that is a pain when you have a number of fields.  Does anyone have a way to do this?

Hi all,

I have a table with a text box which is also rotated by 90 degrees.

When i try to print this page directly to printer or print/save as .pdf it rotates the text box back 90 degrees and just prints the lines of tables.

Any suggests would be helpful.

Temp files in desktop are not deleted after closing the word file.

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 04:28 AM PDT

Whenever I open a Word 2010 document, I get a hidden icon on my desktop sometimes with a tilde dollar before the icon name. as of my understanding it should be deleted after closing the word file because it's a temporary buffer file for the word doc, But sometime this Icon not deleted after restarting the PC. I must have done something strange to cause them, but I know not what. What can I do to eliminate them completely.

Word file corrupt - anyone able to help

I have a basic word file that is corrupted - have tried various programs etc  - with no results. Is anyone willing to help if I could send to them?

Why is it that everytime I open MS Word the window is very small and off to the right?

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 01:25 AM PDT

It may have been caused by me splitting the screen so to speak on my PC. I have Windows 8 and the other day I needed multiple views, but now it is too annoying for my patience. Help please?

Excel database not updating in Word

Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:05 PM PDT

I have a (largish) database in Excel 2010 that I have updated. When I do a mail merge into Word 2010, the old data is still showing and the new data isn't. I tried saving the *.xlsx file with a new name to a different folder but the old data keeps coming up. I could edit the fields in Word, but that would be very time consuming. TIA

Autotext/Autocorrect

Posted: 31 Aug 2014 07:33 AM PDT

I use many autotext as a medical transcriptionist.  I now have Windows 7, Word 2013 and for the last four months my autotext just disappear.  After reentering them over and over I decided to try autocorrect and the same problems happens over and over.   It seems that my autocorrect that were entered four months ago when I upgraded remain, but it any new ones that I enter that disappear.  All old and new autotext disappear.  They stick around for 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks and then disappear.  I really need some help for a "Word Dummy".  I have looked possible issues of the normal.dot but not savvy enough to figure that out.  Thanks in advance anyone.
