Print Quality

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 03:05 PM PDT

When I print a photo or graph and select my printer I click printer properties and select my Print Quality as "High" as opposed to "Standard". I was wondering if printing in high quality uses more ink/toner?

Problem with MS Office 7

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?

Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:53 PM PDT

Since switching to Office 2013, I get the message "Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string." when I try to run a mail merge. I have assignment check sheets and grade sheets that I merge with a class list to print individual forms for my students. I tried using the revised files for this year and the old files from last year which worked fine , but now when I select the Word document containing the class list I get this message. One of my co-workers got this message last year, but we never figured out what the problem was. We have tried saving the list as a text file, but got the same message. Can someone help?

Underlining, etc. in Word 2013 RT (Surface 2)

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:46 PM PDT

When I try to underline selected text in Word (RT version on my Surface 2) it underlines the entire document, as if it were changing the Style.  If I click "undo," then all the extra underlining goes away so that only the original selected text is underlined.   The same thing happens with Bold, Small caps, etc.  I never noticed it before, so I think this is a new bug.   Has anyone else experienced this?  I have tried disabling smart cursoring, quick paragraph select, etc., without success.

Why is there a stubborn black line right at the top of my document?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:27 PM PDT

I cannot select the line to delete it.  I have already selected "no border" and "remove header" in case either of those were causing it.  It's still stubbornly appearing.

Microsoft Office Starter Problems After Sept. 2013 Update

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 10:28 AM PDT

I have been reading on many of these Microsoft forums that people have been unable to open or access their documents in Microsoft Office 2010 Starter after the September 2013 update. Has anyone had to actually purchase the full version of Microsoft Office to resolve this issue?

Re-installing Word 2013 with a deactivated account

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Hi,

I purchased Word 2013 (I still have the product key) a few months back. 

Due to a problem with my PC I need to re-install Word but the account I used to purchase the product has now been deactivated. I raised a support ticket with accounts & was told to contact the office team. I tried the 'contact us' pages  which seem to just point you at Answer Tech's who while nice & all, seem unable to grasp the problem or suggest a solution. The UK customer helpline number takes you in a loop then tells you to visit the website!!!

Anyone have a suggestion where I go from here?

How do I create a macro that will automatically sort items based on a Mail Merge field?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I have a quote mail merge template that contains products. In the source, Dynamics CRM, each product contains a sequence number (field). The user is able to modify the order of the products and CRM will adjust the sequence number accordingly. The problem is when the quote is printed, the order of the products always revert back to the original order in which they were entered and not by the sequence number.

In Word, you can manually set the order by opening the 'Edit Recipient List', find the quote_product_sequence_number field column, and sort. But I need this to be automated.

I tried recording a macro as I walked through the manual steps, but the macro does not record anything when the 'Edit Recipient List' dialog box is open. 

I tried adding this code ... but I get an 'object required' error.
Sub SequenceOrder()

' Sort by Sequence
sequence = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Qu ote_Product_Sequence_Number").Value
sequence.Value.Sort SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending

End Sub

Any ideas?

How to sign a form on Surface RT

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:49 AM PDT

I am new to the Surface world.  My employer has a Surface RT for me to use.  I have Word documents that need to be updated with client information and signed by them.  Could someone walk me through how to do that?  I'm sure it can probably be done fairly easily, I'm just not sure how to accomplish it!  Thank you for input!

Ink Tools Not Available in MS Word 2013 With External Tablet

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:43 AM PDT

Hello,

I recently bought a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet to take notes on class handouts in MS Word. When I control my cursor with the tablet, the Ink Tools> Pens section appears in the top ribbon, but when I tap on it, everything but the options for Thickness and Select Objects tool are greyed out, disallowing me from writing on the document.

The only solution I've been able to find is to go to Turn Windows Features On and Off and select Tablet PC Components, which is already checked off.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

Kaylee

Is there any help? WORD 2010 crashes and loses current document permanently.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:58 AM PDT

I have had this problem with Windows Pro 8.1 (using WORD 2010) since I started using BitDefender Total 2014-2015 about three months ago.

WORD crashes when I try to save a heavily edited document.  It loses the 10-minuted auto-recovery document as well as the prime document.  I asked Windows to record a dump file, but I can't find where these dump files are.

What gets me mad as this happens after extensive editing sessions and I lose thousands of corrections.  I've never had such dismal performance from Microsoft before this time.  I have used Word 2.0, 6.0. Office 95, 97, 2000.  Why am I having so much misery with WORD 2010?

Is there any solution?

word 2010 documents are being saved all over the place--I need to find out where they belong as if the computer was new

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT

I have windows 7 ultimate and use word and office 2010. (im sorry that microsoft gave the same name to multiple and different things such as email and documents)

Opening statement: My computer literacy is medium so most of the basics i know so that as I get a reply or 2 I can fly with it.

When opening a document and then when clicking "save"--over the past few years those documents are saved onto the hardrive into dozens of locations and no matter how hard I try I cannot get them straightened back out. I realize that it usually returns to the location last saved to but no matter what i do the locations are impossible to figure out even after moving all documents to what i thought was the correct folder and making sure over a period of days and weeks to get it saving correctly by navigating painstakingly to the correct location and hitting "save".  Yet STILL they are all over the place. The best way is to give some examples --I see no other way to clarify the problem. 

A couple weeks ago I decided to tackle the problem and sought out all documents and MOVED them to the correct folder and deleted and cleaned up other folders in which documents were all over the place. (a good example of a mistake was saving a document into a created folder so that it would be there when i searched instead of clicking on "open"--and up comes a list of 13,289 documents going back decades. That was likely the root of the problem. But I cleaned that up and let them all go into the one giant "documents resorvoir" and if there was an important critical one i would save it into a backup folder off the system such as my backup drive. 

The situation at this moment-->I open or start a new document and there are dozens of places it goes when i hit save--or if i go "attach file" when sending an email. I moved all documents to C/users/jeff/my documents and after doing that i deleted the various empty folders where they had been.  But i cannot figure out--and i simply do not understand all the locations to choose from or how to stop them and why a document has dozens of options where it might be that the computer chooses.    users/jeff/my documents--so why if i open or create a document do i look up at the top of the screen and it shows a path name a mile long that is someplace else like "libraries"??   what is the difference between users jeff my document and "libraries" which also has documents under it.   the users i believe is locked or something and shows a little lock--what then is the purpose of "libraries"??  why is "libraries" not under c-users-jeff-my documents?   why if i save a document painstakingly saving it to users my documents then i open an email to attach it--ITS MISSING??  why when i click on something else it then shows a window that shows about 5 or 6 recent documents BUT THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE MISSING???

i am profficient enough that if someone can reply to WHERE ARE DOCUMENTS SUPPOSED TO BE?"--i can do the rest but why no matter how many times that i do it are my documents all over the place and if i email and try to attach or open word and click up at the upper left OPEN--up comes a list of documents and yet again up at the top of the screen i have to navigate all over the computer to keep trying to get back to c drive--users--jeff--my documents.?  

I will try to attach a picture that shows an example of opening word but then there are dozens of places in which a document is lost and no way to know WHERE CAN I MAKE THEM BE AS IF THE COMPUTER WAS NEW.  another note is that it does not list them correctly--i know about list "by date or modified etc" however i constantly spot them where they are not listed right. i can create a document this minute and save it and it will become lost and i have to track it down by going to multiple locations and then i will find it and it will be in a random list--not alphabetic--not by date--not by anything. it will also not be listed in "today" yesterday--a long time ago.   those sometimes get lucky but rarely. My documents are totally out of control and i can fix them if i get a reply   thanks...

Picture Content Control - inserted photos not filling control frame size

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2010, I am creating a template with a Picture Content Control. I have sized the frame to the desired area to work well with the other Text content boxes.

However, when a photo is added, the photo maintains it's original aspect ratio, and does not completely fill the Content fram. I've added pics below to show this.

I've read in this community that the picture should fill the entire content area, but I am having no luck.

Ideally, I'd like the Content frame to act like an Instagram frame where the picture can be centered and sized as desired to completely fill the 1:1 content frame, or whatever the Content frame size is.

I'm not sure if this is capable in Word, but hopefully some of you can help me with some guidance.

datasource questions

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:58 AM PDT

is there a maximum number of fields you can put in a data source file?

In a delimited data source file, Quotes surrounding each field and fields separated by either the tab character, comma, or semicolon,  Why would word not recognize the delimiter?

I get an error message saying the data source can not be opened because it lacks a valid database.  In word versions prior to Word 2010, this was not a requirement.  How do you add a "valid database" to a data source?

I'm using a DataAccess Corporation product called Visual Dataflex (VDF) to create a database application using their embedded database.  I'm using a com Automation class generated by VDF based upon the MSWORD14.olb file.  I had used the com automation to create the datasource in a Word document.

Any help in getting answers to my questions is appreciated.

WinWord crashes on startup

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:06 AM PDT

I have an experience with Winword crashing on start-up, even in safe mode (not Windows safe mode, just winword /s), Excel crashes in normal mode but not in safe mode and PowerPoint just works fine.

I did try 365 but gave it up and bought disks instead hoping that might help, it didn't.  I am an adjunct professor trying to set homework and upload it to a university coursesite, right now that is hard but using google docs (and output to MSWord format) I manage but miss out on special characters and symbols.

With 365 I tried many times to repair, reinstall and so forth without success, I have a Windows7 OS.

Thanks for any help.

How to stop new page when creating new numbered heading

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 04:48 AM PDT

Hi

Our company have developed some Word templates to be used for all our documentation.

But the template I'm using now are created so that every new numbered heading (1. Intro,  2. Heading A,  3. Heading B) starts on a new page.  

So as soon as I type "2. New Heading" is adds a page break before the heading.

How can I prevent this behaviour so that my numbered headings will start where the previous paragraphs stops.

Using Word Art in Office Word 2013

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:19 PM PDT

I normally use Publisher to do most of my work but I recently encountered a new situation that requires me to use Word.  Now this is something interesting and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I was creating a document that required me to use a text box which is really a simple operation but when I tried to punch it up a little bit by adding some word art I couldn't get it to work.  I couldn't get text to flow around it or even using other tools didn't work.  Is this peculiar to Word since I never encountered this situation in Publisher.  However I need to note that when I'm not using a text box then when I insert word art text flows around it perfectly.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks for any and all help.

Word 2013 stops responding

Hi there, I just opened a new laptop and installed Office 365, but after typing 1 line in Word, it stops responding. Here is the event log:

The program WINWORD.EXE version 15.0.4641.1000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? The other applications seem to work okay. 

Determine field code page position during merge

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:55 PM PDT

Is there any way to determine the page position of a field code during a merge operation, recognizing that the position can change based on the result of the merge?

Specifically, for a contract, if a sig block won't quite fit on the page, I want to insert text that says "Signatures on the following page." and then insert a page break immediately following.

I suppose that could be done either if I can see that the location where that line would appear is beyond a certain point on the page, or if the page count of the location of the signature block is 1 higher (but not sure how, because then it would need to insert the notice on the prior page).

I've gone through all of the Word field codes and didn't see anything that would let me do the first, and am not sure how to do the second.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Colin

Help! Unspecified Error, word/document.xml, Line:2, Column: 0

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:55 PM PDT

I have an assignment due VERY soon and now my file has corrupted. As I stated above, when I try to open the file it comes up with the following pop-up:

Can anyone offer some help or advice as to how to fix this, how it happened and how I can prevent from happening again?

I'm happy to upload it onto google docs or anything like that if necessary. It is a physics assessment and so it has a lot of equations which I desperately need saved.

Thank you for any help you can give me. 

Word 2013 automatically defaults to File

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:29 PM PDT

In previous versions of Word, if I was on the home tab or Insert tab on the menu bar it stayed on that tab until you changed it. However, in office 2013, any time I type in the Word document it automatically goes back to the file tab. Is there a way to change this back to the way it was in previous versions that it stays on the tab you were using?

Dictionary Not Working in Office 365

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 05:26 PM PDT

I have a custom dic and the default dic but when spell check finds an incorrect word or other auto-correct situation, the dictionary button is greyed-out.  Nothing has been added to my dictionary in two months.  I had a seven year old custom dic from Office 2007 but don't know how to access it!
