Microsoft Word - Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Microsoft Word - Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Hello,

I am very new to creating forms. I have read all of the relevant Help and Forum posts/discussions I could find, including links given in the answers, and cannot seem to find an answer - I think because this should be a common sense thing and my poor brain is overlooking something obvious!  

I am creating a form from a blank document. Following the directions from the basic Microsoft Help files, I have used the Developer tab to insert a text content control box into the form.  I also have plain text on the same line, and when I type a response into the content control box, I do not want the text down the line to move. I've tried all of the options I can find for setting properties of the box, or restricting editing of the form, but cannot seem to figure out how to keep what is entered in the box from causing changes in the rest of the line.  Help, please and thank you!  =)

How do I open Microsoft word documents using Microsoft Word Viewer instead of Microsoft Word, since I don't have it?

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 01:51 PM PDT

So I downloaded ms word viewer, so when I tried to open a Microsoft word document I was given the option of opening the document with either Microsoft word (I didn't buy it) or microsoft word viewer, but I chose microsoft word instead. Now whenever I open files it just says "You are trying to use office, but you don't have office". Is there any way I can go back and open files with microsoft word viewer?

Recovered document date and time

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 01:21 PM PDT

Hello all

This is my first post so I hope this is the right place to ask a question.  I am also fairly new to word so please forgive me if this is a silly question!

I have been working on a large document for a couple of weeks, and have typically saved it frequently on a memory stick.  However, today when working on the document a recovered file came up, stating the date as 01/01/2016 01:00 and it said this is the original file.  The date is the part that concerns me, I didn't open it.

Can anybody shed any light on why this may have happened and could it be a fake copy of my document somehow to try to access my confidential document?

Thanks

How do I switch columns?

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:58 PM PDT

Split from this thread.


PLEASE tell me how to switch columns after first creating them; while they are still empty.  I've tried alt tab, cntrl tab, alt page, cntrl page, etc. 

MS office takes too long to open large documents

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:38 PM PDT

Hello,

I am using Word 2013. Every time I open any document, the start window shows "Word is finishing analyzing your document" and then it takes several minutes before finally opening up the document. The time varies with the size of the document, as for example it takes 5 to 6 minutes before opening up a 6MB file.

Please help as this is very frustrating. 

Navigating Word with arrow keys

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:19 PM PDT

I have Office 365.  Using Word I frequently use a landscape format and two columns.  When I navigate down the text of the second column using the keyboard arrow keys and accidently go too far, the cursor jumps back to the corresponding line on the first column on the page.  Is there any way to make the cursor stop at the end of the text in the second column when scrolling down using arrow keys, as it did in previous versions up to 2010?

Insert citation greyed out

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I have a 19 page word file (my thesis) so far.

What I can't understand is why the "Insert Citation" button (and only the Insert Citation) is greyed out only on pages 14, 15, 16 and half of 17 and on others it works without problems.

I see the exact point after which it greyes out on page 17 (somewhere in the middle of the page).

What seems to be the problem here?

HOW DO I CREATE A COPY OF AN EXCEL DOCUMENT WITH SURFACE 2

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 11:03 AM PDT

hi folks,

I'm sure there is something simple that will do this. I used to right click and a text box would open and i would click copy and lo and behold i would get a copy. however, with the Surface 2 Power Keyboard, the mousepad is absolutely useless for right clicking. The double tap does nothing. So, does anybody know a keyboard shortcut i can use to replicate the function i need?  thank you

Word 2013 is not working (no respond)

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I can access to the screen where I can choose the certain type of document, but when I choose the type of document, it freezes up and says (no respond). I have been using Word without having this type of problem about a month. But like 7 days ago, it started to do this. All the other Office programs work fine, but only Word freezes up and doesn't work with the message "No Respond" 

I already re-installed it, but it did not work out.  Please help me with this! 

P.S Excel has the same problem when I try to load the file.

Two "pages" on one page??

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 07:59 AM PDT

I have laid out a 60-page booklet as 8.5" x 5.5" pages.  A little late(!), I realize that what I need is to have two separate 8.5 x 5.5 pages (including footers) on each 8.5 x 11 page, so it can be printed and then folded to make the booklet.   In Word 2013, can I somehow do this -- have two independent pages on the same page?  Like I say, each one has to be exactly like the original 8.5 x 5.5 page, including footers.  To make matters worse, the page numbers are of course not continuous, since it'll be printed and then folded to make a booklet.

I realize that I can print what I've already created and then paste them all onto 8.5 x 11 sheets, front and back, but I'm hoping for an electronic solution!!!

Thank you!

when I open word and Excel 2013: every time prompted to accept Microsoft office license agreement'first things first', and it's slow to open a file

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 07:49 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 in Windows 8.1, every time when I open a word file prompted accept Microsoft office license agreement under the 'first things first'. Is this necessary all the time? Besides, this is a new laptop with i7-4500 CPU with 8GB RAM and when I open word or excel file, I can tell it is much slower than I open the same file by using office 2007 in other old computers. Is this supposed to be so because of use of Office professional Plus 2013?

Thanks in advance.

Help required in writing citation/reference in APA at the start of statement through Reference Menu in WORD 2013

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 02:19 AM PDT

Hello

In APA referencing style, if citation is inserted at the start of the statement, the author's name is written without brackets i.e.

smith (2010) said…………….          (Correct citation)

But when I insert the citation at the start of the statement through References menu in WORD 2013, it writes the citation as:

(smith, 2010) said……….                                (Citation is in brackets, which is wrong as per APA)

 

Please help me how can I write the correct APA citation through Reference menu in WORD 2013

Thanks

Printing A5 with Word 2013

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 11:56 PM PDT

I have been successfully printing A5 leaflets using an older version of Word. I've now upgraded my PC to Word 2013 and can't work it out at all. A5 paper size isn't given to me as an option when I'm setting up the document. I'm using the same printer that I used successfully before.

Any ideas what to do?

Microsoft Word/Powerpoint won't open

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:33 PM PDT

I can't open Microsoft files by double clicking it after I've uninstalled Microsoft 360 (free trial). I currently have Microsoft 2010 but for some reason, the files won't open when I double click it... it just pops up an error message.

I can, however, open the files by opening Microsoft 2010 Word/Powerpoint>File>Open>[FILENAME].

Everything is fine. It is just that I can't double click the files to open it (for easy/quicker access to files).

Sharing customized word 2010 templates

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:22 PM PDT

I have created a customized word template on my personal computer (windows 8.1/word 2013). The customized template includes a customized tab on the ribbon and custom quick parts. I have tried copying this template across to my work computer to test it out before sharing with colleagues. Neither the custom quick parts nor the customized tab transferred across. The only way I could get it to work was copying the Building Blocks template and then recreating the customized tab on my work computer. Is there a simpler way of doing this? I just want to email my colleagues the new template and for them to click on it and start using it without having to create their own tab and install the Building Blocks template in the right location (I guarantee that some will get it wrong!). The work computers use word 2010 and windows 7.

Thanks for any help offered.

Booklet page numbers conflict with inside/gutter

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:58 PM PDT

My problem comes when I change page numbers in a booklet. If I start a new section on page 4 and renumber it to page 1 it changes the inside, outside, and gutter to the opposite of what it should be (it seems the physical page is an even number, but Word considers it an odd number ... even when printing).

 Any advice for this situation?

Problem with Microsoft Word 2013 - Version of File is not compatible with the version of windows I am running

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:40 PM PDT

Hello,

I bought Microsoft Office 2013 yesterday and installed it successfully. Powerpoint, Excel, and the other suites work fine, but when I try to run Microsoft Word 2013 I receive the following message:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32 - bit ) or a x64 (64 bit) version of the program,, and then contact the software publisher.

I have tried running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 7 with no success. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am using Windows 7 as my operating system

Thank you.

Word 2013 no longer makes editing changes correctly..

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 04:57 PM PDT

Windows 8.1 - Home & Student 2013

This is a new problem for me, and I couldn't find anything similar in a quick review of recent questions/discussions.

My normal editing style (manuscript) is to select and replace with changes, or cut and paste. In my latest chapter, what is on screen reflects my editing changes, but when I print out both the replaced/deleted test and the new text appear on the printed page. I've checked all File settings including 'Options' for mistakes and can't find any.

I recently reinstalled Office due to a font problem and am hoping for a quick fix instead of one that takes another reinstall or a week of back and forth to resolve, so if anyone has encountered this problem, your help would be much appreciated! TIA

Problem with MS Office 2007

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

Whenever I try to move a window using a mouse, or to reduce a size of a window, and sometimes even to highlight a part of a file, my program becomes unresponsive and shuts down. I have run diagnostics several times (no problems found), re-installed Office 7, and the problem still persists. I have this problem with all components of Office 7, not just Word. OS is Windows Vista, regularly updated. Any ideas how to resolve this?
