Microsoft Word - link paths don't all change with folder name change

Microsoft Word - link paths don't all change with folder name change

link paths don't all change with folder name change

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 02:26 PM PDT

I have a project where Excel files and Word files (all 2007) link back and forth.

All are Excel->Word or Word->Excel. I changed the name of the folder that contains

all of this to include a date so we keep track of which backup version is which.

I migrated the folder to my wife's computer & found out a lot of the hyperlinks failed

to work, 8 altogether out of dozens, and ALL of them Word->Excel. I discovered the

hyperlink paths had the paths from my computer which didn't make me feel good.

When I checked them on my computer the problem was these hyperlinks had the old

folder name while the rest of them reflected the new folder name. So the same errors

happened on my computer. I just didn't notice the old folder name in the paths on my wife's machine.

I did a little test using a folder with just one Excel file and 2 Word files. When I changed the

small test folder name one of the return Word hyperlinks failed to change its path & had the

old folder name.  But I could not get this action to repeat so I can't isolate something I may

or may not have done.

Any clues? Is something wrong with my brain?  Yeah, I know, I know.

Does anyone know when you are making a form document using the Developer option.  How can you make it so you can tab between fields and not have to use your mouse to get to each developer field?

Unable to locate "Version" control to save a file.

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 08:49 AM PDT

I am attempting to use MS Office's version of "Version Control". I created and saved a document. Now, I want to edit it and save the changes as a different version. I thought I should see a "Version" on the file menu, but I am not finding it. What am I doing wrong?

Automatically copying blocks of text from one part of word doc to another

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 07:42 AM PDT

I am trying to create a report template which automatically populates text into different sections to avoid repeating same text manually.  Some of the text is short i.e. client name, date etc. Other text comprises a full paragraph which will automatically copy from the main body, into a conclusion section and also and executive summary.  I have been using Content Controls, but the document seems to struggle to open and doesn't like to be moved, copied or saved elsewhere, which, considering this is to act as a template for other reports is not helpful.

Any idea what the best way to achieve the above would be?  I have a reasonable understanding of word but this is beyond my capabilities and the template I have produced so far, is not reliable or trustworthy.

I am using Microsoft 365 on Windows 8.

Many Thanks.

Table Header seperating from Table

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 07:35 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I have created a table which goes agrocss multiple pages.  I have set up the table so the Header is repeated.

For some reason the Table header "splits/seperates" from the table so it is by itself and the table is on the next page with the header.  I have looked for a return, page break but cannot see what the issue is.  I have an image below showing you what happens.  As you see on the top right page you can see a Table header by itself and it repeats itself on the next page.  In some instances the table header is on a page by itself and then starts on the next page.

Any ideas to help gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks

Keyboard shortcut for Autocorrect Options button

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 06:48 AM PDT

When you've activated Autoformat Options (as you type) you can get that nice "flyover" button ("Autocorrect Options"). When you click the button you have some options e.g. undo the autoformatting. I wish there was a shortcut key to do the same, just like the Paste Options button which can be activated by pressing the Ctrl-key.

 

I know you can just type Ctrl+Z to undo the latest change, but I want to see the same options menu provided after clicking the button with the mouse.

I know there are ways to get the autocorrect dialog, but again, I just want the button activated by a keyboard shortcut.

 

Is that possible?

I checked several post like below, but those don't answer my question.

Digital Ink in Word 2013 increases file size dramatically

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 02:32 AM PDT

Hi, we have switched from Office 2010 to Office 2013 at work. When using the "ink" function in Word on a tablet, the size of the file blows out to 7Mb for a 6 sided document, where the doc without ink might have been 250 Kb.

Is there a way to change how word saves this ink?

Previously, I have used Word 2010 in "compatibility mode" and in that case the ink hardly increases the file size.

I want to find a way to use ink but without the massive change in file size.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Keyword search results Word 2010

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 12:31 AM PDT

I have tagged the documents in a folder with keywords, using the Document Panel.  I assumed that when I searched the folder by keyword I would get a list of all the documents in the folder with that keyword.  Instead, I only get one document - the last one to be modified.  I'm sure I'm making a simple mistake, but I can't for the life of me see what it is.  Can anyone help?

I dont see equations/formulas in Word 2013 Professional

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 09:50 PM PDT

Hi there, 

One of my friends set me a word file today, which contains some equations and formulas. Unfortunately i am not able to see the equations in the file - whatever i see are only empty boxes. 
I tried to solve the problem using info provided in this page but i think those options are not available in Word 2013 Professional. I have also attached a picture to show how does it look like on my screen. 

I would be grateful if anyone would help me to deal with this issue. 

Best,

Recent documents won't stay in recent documents section of word 2013

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 09:28 PM PDT

If I work on a document in Word 2013 and save it, it goes into the' recent documents' section of 'file' but after a few days it stops being in the 'recent documents' section. It is able to be accessed still by opening folders etc so it hasn't disappeared off the computer.  If I pin it, the same thing happens. I have gone into options and changed settings e.g. changed the number of documents to put into recent documents but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?

Word 2013 forcing me to save as new file

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 08:01 PM PDT

I am having a problem saving files in Word 2013.  On my tablet, I was working on a file and tried to save.  Instead of saving, it opened the dialogue box you get when you do a "save as."   I tried to overwrite the existing file, but it would not allow that.   So, I had to save the file with a new file name.  Why would it do that?  Is there a fix?

Font spacing (kerning) issues after cut & paste from Visio into Word

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 08:01 PM PDT

Hello,

Products - Visio 2013, all the updates.  Word 2013, all the updates.  Windows 7, 64bit.  Latest & greatest of everything.

1. Create two text boxes in Visio with any basic font - Calibri let's say.  Put in a few sentences into both.

2. Highlight both boxes, copy them (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) them into Word.

Font kerning is all screwed up from the original.  True, it's not unreadable, but it's a far cry from the original.  I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and the pasted Visio text boxes aren't anywhere near perfection.  It's actually better to use the Snipping Tool and cut and paste THAT into Word.  It looks better.

Why?  Any tricks to make the image crystal clear in Word? Any settings I should fiddle with?

There's got to be a fix.

Chris.

Need help creating an autocorrect math function

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 03:36 PM PDT

I want to create an autocorrect function "\mod" that inserts a "box (mod box)" where "mod" is Roman and "box" means an input box for an value (Roman) or variable (italics).  I copied the linear version of that from a Word document equation then tried pasting it in the proofing autocorrect list in options.  The result is almost what I want but the "mod" comes out as "mo d", i.e. with unwanted space and in italics.  I I have no experience creating autocorrect commands for math equations, and I don't know why or how to get around this.
