Missing themes

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 02:44 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

I tried copying and pasting this into my search under the themes tab but it won't accept it. Am I putting it in the wrong place?

I don't have all of my themes either and I'm trying to locate them. When I paste it . It says incorrect path

Problem with moving text when track changes is on

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 02:20 PM PDT

When track changes is on and I delete a piece of text in Word 2010, it disappears, but when I paste it into the new location the deleted text often reappears in the old location. What's more, it isn't highlighted in either location so it's hard to notice. This doesn't happen every time I move text but it happens often enough to be a real problem. I did a repair of Office but that made no difference.

I've tried to figure out what the conditions are when this happens but haven't been able to. I thought it might have to do with the code at the ends of paragraphs but it happens with sentences too so that's not the answer.

Would much appreciate any insight.

Signing in all the time

Why am I always asked to sign in when opening any Office document? If I am offline, or even when I want to put the product key in, Office hangs.

Word crashes when formatting

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:41 PM PDT

Hi.

I have one word document that crashes when I try to format the text (bold, underline etc) - I can write in the document and I can make format changes in other word documents.

Any thoughts?

Does anyone know where word update downloads are stored before being installed?

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:17 PM PDT

Hello folks,

I have a computer that came with Word 2013. Recently it asked for permission to install an update, but the moment it attempted to install this update an error occurred while installing, and all of the office suite ceased to exist on the machine. I used system restore and was able to replicate the error to be sure that's what caused it.

Since then I've used system restore once more and rolled back to when Office 2013 was working. I've turned off automatic updates, but this text still appears requesting an update:







Since other people use this machine, is it possible to locate the downloaded file and delete it so it stops prompting an install?

Thank you very much!

Word will not print envelopes

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:05 PM PDT

This problem occurred a few days ago on my HP desktop computer.  I think it happened just after an update from Microsoft.  The computer is using Windows 7 64-bit.  I use Microsoft Word 2010 to create envelopes and it has failed.  All other printing functions well.  I am printing to a HP Laserjet and to a HP Office Jet Pro.  I am unable to print an envelope to either printer. 
Things that I have done are as follows.
      1.  uninstalled & reinstalled both programs.  No help.
I am at my wits end and not sure what to try next. 

Missing headings in table of contents

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

When doing an automatic TOC, it keeps omitting one of my Heading 2 headings. It simply picks up all the heading 2s but one. I deleted the heading, retyped it and re-marked it as a Heading 2. Then clicked update table. Still, no luck. It just won't pick up that one heading. Frankly, this Word 2010 software seems to have quite a few annoying glitches. However, this one is costing me time and money as the project is due. I tried to manualy type in the heading on the TOC but spacing goes crazy and will not allow me to line up the page numbers. As soon as I type all the periods running across the page and reach the page number, it splits the entry into 2 lines. No matter how I delete spacing and start over to type it in manually, the spacing issues won't allow it. Please help.

I also have the header updating problem!

My header levels are 3

the toc code is TOC\0 "1-3 \H\Z\U, although I have no idea what that means :)

it only uses my main heading and 2 occurences of my sub heading. there are 41 occurences that are still left out.

Please help

Word 2010 with Embedded Excel table becomes oversized for RDP Users

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:16 AM PDT

I originally asked this question on the SharePoint Online forums as this was the first time we've seen this issue. Original Post

Short version - we have a Word template with embedded Excel table created in SharePoint Online, and when a RDP user opens it, the document correctly opens in the local version of Word 2010 (not Word Online).   When the table is edited, it becomes larger to the point you can no longer view the entire table. 

We have done some testing with Word 2010 outside of RDP and everything works correctly, the embedded Excel table doesn't become oversized and works as expected.  It seems to definitely be an issue with RDP and I've been looking for any assistance on resolving this issue.

The template is a .docx file. All RDP users are in a 2008 R2 environment.

Opening word documents everything is encoded

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:12 AM PDT

well a co-worker sent me an email with a word document attached he couldn't open. I opened it and it was encoded gibberish, now everything I try to open looks like Abrakadabra.

I am not sure what broke to try and fix it. I can't open any document it seems that one document broke every document I had. Any ideas I am completely stumped on this one.

Word Is Linking Back to Excel File That I Don't Need (or Want)

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:10 AM PDT

As background, I never use "paste link" when pasting a chart from Excel into Word and yet Word insists on creating a link back to the original workbook. I don't need or want the links because they cause all types of problems.  I've tried to fix this by going to "Edit Links in File" and "Break Link" but Word keeps a "Null" Source File link which then results in an error message.

Unfortunately, I can't use "Paste as..."

  • "picture" because I lose the ability to change the chart colors
  • "Microsoft Excel Chart Object" because it then embeds the workbook into the Word file (some of my Excel files are 10M

This leave me with the option of "Paste as Microsoft Office Graphic Object."  For what it's worth, about 20%-25% of the time, I can open a blank Excel file, create a chart and then paste the chart into a blank Word document and the links don't appear (but the other 80% of the time they do which is the problem).

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using Office 2010 on Windows 7.

Macro to delete new carriage returns / new paragraph marks

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:38 AM PDT

Hello

I often paste text into Word that contains inappropriate line breaks that I'd like to delete. So far I've been using find&replace with the special/paragraph mark option, however I'd like to record a macro so that I can do this operation faster just by selecting a portion of text and pressing a keyboard shortcut that I will assign to that macro

Can anyone help me create such a macro? Many thanks!

Envelope Printing

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:10 AM PDT

Greetings!

Under Windows XP using my Microsoft Word (2007), my envelopes (Com-10 41/8 X 91/2) print perfect with all graphics and text displayed and printed on my HP Laser Printer.

When I try to print the same document from my Laptop (Windows 7) on my Brother Printer, the graphics get cut off in the  print preview. 

I tried to using the custom margins settings in the Brother printer by increasing the document which appears to resolve the issue when I view it in the Print Preview mode. However, when I go to print the envelope, it gives me an error message to load the correct paper. Any suggestions or recommendations?      

I have an HP Laser 1518ni Printer and a Brother MFC-J4510DW Ink Jet Printer

Quick Parts > Document Property

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 03:03 AM PDT

This is very hard for me to explain, i hope it is understandable...

I have used the document property fields in word quick parts to auto fill a form from a register which suits my purpose perfectly but there are not enough fields.

Only 14 which i can customise through the properties tab in developer section.

I have tried creating my own document property fields through advanced properties but they dont auto update, like the document property fields do.

How can I make my own fields that behave like document property?

problem office microsoft 2013

Floating tables in Word 2013 will not extend beyond the margin at the bottom of the page

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:45 AM PDT

I try to keep away from floating tables (ie with text wrapping) but there are time when they are really useful. One place where they work brilliantly is for a last page footer (eg a flyer type document) where I make they cover over the standard footer with the disclaimer text that needs to appear on the last page of the document.

In Word 2010 you can make a floating table extend beyond the margins and cover the footer at the bottom of the page. However if you open a document with this type of table in Word 2013 and then save the documents as a true '2013' document the table splits over the page (even if the table only consists of one row and the 'Split over the page' option is switched off).

I have also tried creating a table in a new Word 2013 document but I cannot find a way to make a floating table extend beyond / into the margin area at the bottom of the page.

Am I missing something or is this a new feature of Word 2013 and their tables.

MS Word 2010. Excel table font changing.

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:37 AM PDT

I'm not fully sure how describe the issue, but will to the best of my ability.

We have a system here that, when editing a table in Word 2010 after any edit or leaving the table, it changes the font. The toolbar doesn't seem to show any change. It appears to bold and becomes near unreadable and seems to reduce a the gap between the characters.

I am just about out of ideas as to what is happening and how to repair this. We have other computers opening the file(s) with no issues. 

I've tried restoring the settings to default, running the fix-it tool to restore defaults, wiped the word entry in the registry as well as the entire Office key. I've also removed the templates in appdata. It just appears to be this one system, no matter the account. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the Office twice now. 

I've also checked for missing fonts and Everything is fine and no errors are there.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

My Watermark is hidden behind checkboxes and text only in 1 page in MS Word 2010

Serious footnote bug in Word 2013

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 10:59 PM PDT

I have been trying for the last few hours to print a document and prepare it for publication in the near future.  To do this I need to export the document as PDF/A format.  Word 2013 fails to do that without trying to tell me that it can't find a file, asking whether it has been moved, deleted, etc.  The answer, of course, is no.  I can save to PDF format without problems but cannot save to PDF/A.

So, I try to print the document as a PDF/A rather than export.  It prints but I find that a number of the footnotes are doubled and even tripled in some places in the document even though the document has no tripled footnotes in those places.  In addition, the footnotes are supposed to restart the numbering for each page but on a number of pages this does not happen even though I set it to do that for the entire multi-section document.  This usually happens when I print to PDF/A using a PDF printer.  I saw it happen a couple times using the PDF export function in Word 2013.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect.  In fact, I have done it so many times that I have to call Microsoft each time I want to reinstall Office 2013 and do not want to go through that hassle again.  I have removed PDF Architect, thinking that might help.  Nothing helps.

I am approaching a deadline and really need this to work soon.  Suggestions?

Undo bulk file rename of Word 2007 documents

I am trying to undo a mistake made earlier today where all of my Word 2007 documents were renamed with the same name. Short of opening each one and manually figuring out what to rename it is there a way to undo the damage?

Word/PowerPoint 2010 - font "Arial Narrow Bold Italic" size 18: Problem with the "e"

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:42 PM PDT

Hello,

the lower curve of the "e" is scraggy. I have that problem e. g. with Word/PowerPoint 2010 and can see the problem when I view the font in the Font Control Panel. Only size 18 is affected. Any hints?

Many thanks and greetings
