Word Display Issue

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:08 PM PDT

Hi there,

I have an issue with Microsoft Office 2010 where when you scroll through, it garbles the text/chops it up. It is only affecting the display. If I save as a PDF or print it, displays without issue. 

Tried the following:

- Changed zoom
- Changed font type
- Changed font padding/size/spacing
- Changed print in background
- Changed display settings for word
- Tried to run troubleshoot over drivers - failed
- Tried to add MS word as a custom app in Nvidia panel - failed

- Updated drivers

Nothing - still doing it. 

As a bandaid fix I have found that if I zoom out then back in, it displays normally again, but if I  scroll back up and down again through the file, it starts doing it. (Document isn't big, it's only 3 pages)

Screenshooting doesn't help - it displays normally. If it happens again, I'll try and snap a pic with my mobile. 

Any ideas?

"Something went wrong" and other errors in Office

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 02:11 PM PDT

I've had Word 2013 for around a year now, on my windows 7 computer, it's always worked fine. Today I tried to open it, and it said Something went wrong, we couldn't start your program, please try starting it again, etc. I tried starting it again, it didn't work. I tried repairing it in Programs and Features on the Control Panel, and got an error message. I even tried reinstalling it from my office account, and got another error message. What can I do?

Copying items from the review pane in MS Word 2013

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:28 PM PDT

Have a 200 page document with comments, insertions and deletions.

Would like to create a separate file that has only those comments, insertions and deletions, (plus any other changes if possible).

I have tried <ctrl a> and <ctrl v> in the review pane, but it only takes the first item.

Read about an old work-around, where you click in the first comment balloon and use shift and down arrow to highlight all - but it only took the first few.

Have tried to print markup - but if the preview is reliable, it wants to print the entire 200 page document.

Did a search and found a macro someone suggested, which I tried - but when I went to go to the recommended place to fix the bug they predicted it might have, the place I needed to click was grayed out and unavailable.   Pasting the part I still have below. Microsoft made me log in and would not send me back to that message, so i cannot get to the full description - but was to go to the Tools, References section and references was grayed out. Macro below:

Sub GetAllComments()
     Dim sComments As String
     Dim cm As Word.Comment
     Dim cms As Word.Comments
     Dim dataObj As MSForms.DataObject
    
     Set cms = ActiveDocument.Comments
     sComments = "Comments in " & ActiveDocument.Name & ":" & vbCr
     For Each cm In cms
         sComments = sComments & cm.Range.Text & vbCr
     Next
     Set dataObj = New MSForms.DataObject
     dataObj.SetText sComments
     dataObj.PutInClipboard
     'Debug.Print sComments
 End Sub

 

it didn't have MS.Forms.Data Object - so I was supposed to enable that - but couldn't get to where to do that.

I do note that there has been a LOT of traffic requesting this on the web, though I have yet to find an answer that doesn't involve copying one by one, or page by page at best, or printing entire document.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Skipped page number

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 11:59 AM PDT

All the discussions I read under the heading "page numbers" seem to be about how to include or not include) the page number on the page as it appears in a Word document.  I am concerned about the actual page number - the one that appears in the bottom left hand corner of the Word screen "Page x of y".

In my document, page 8 is skipped - the numbering goes straight from page 7 to page 9.  This puts all the Left/Right page layout off kilter.  I want to track down the reason why a page number is missed, and then cure it.  Can anyone give me ideas to try?

In this docment, all the pages have headers and footers (simple title and display of page number).

  • page 4 is blank with a Page Break Section Break Next page
  • page 5 is full of text, right up to the end of the page
  • page 6 is blank with a Page Break Section Break Next page
  • page 7 has just a picture on it with a Section Break Next page
  • page 8 doesn't exist
  • page 9 (which should be page 8) has a table that flls the whole page

Word Forms on Ipad

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:34 AM PDT

I recently purchased Office 365 Home, with the intent to create some word forms so I can easily fill things out on my ipad.  I have created one and for some reason all of the fields are text entry only and non of the combo boxes work.  Even after enforcing protection.  Am I missing something?  Or did I overlook the fine print that says Ipad Word does not support Word Combo Boxes?

Touch swipping/scrolling issues using Word 2007

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:07 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Word. Also made sure I had all updates and restarted the SP3, still no luck. I am using Word 2007 Office Home and Student. In a 189 page document, two-finger scrolling with the touchpad does not work, and scrolling by swiping the screen does not work. Swiping the screen results in automatically selecting text instead of scrolling.

After uninstalling and reinstalling Scrivener the two-finger scroll on the touchpad works in long documents , but scrolling by swiping the screen still automatically selects text instead of scrolling when the document gets too long.

At least Scrivener is bit more useable now, though. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Anthony

Help! Touch screen functions in Word 2010 suddenly stopped working.

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:31 AM PDT

Hi people who understand Windows, please help. I've been using touch-screen functions to select and edit text in Word 2010 documents for as long as I've had this computer. However, seemingly without cause and only while using Word, I can no longer select anything using my touch-screen. I can only zoom in and out.  I've spent hours trying to fix it, only to fuel more frustration. I imagine I somehow disabled "touch-screen mode" in Word and there is some simple, yet completely obscure, way to turn it back on. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.  

Problems opening any of my office 2013 programs

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:23 AM PDT

I have had Office 2013 for a while now and been using without fail. A couple of weeks ago I went to use Word  and it wouldn't open and said it had stopped working.  I tried to open the other applications and none of them would work either. They all gave me the same error message. I checked online and found a couple of suggestions that didn't seem to work. I then thought I was at the microsoft site but had hit the add button by mistake and ended up dealing with an online fix-it company that wanted $150 to solve the problem. Does anyone out there have any suggestions I really need my MS Word for work purposes and this is driving me crazy.

Word 2013 display zooms in after opening documents downloaded from the web (Window 8.1)

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:55 AM PDT

After I open documents downloaded from the web (e.g., email attachments), the entire interface zooms in as if the resolution has changed. That is, the ribbon and all menus enlarge. I have to restart Word to restore the normal view. What could be causing this issue?

Frustrated with calculating future date

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:55 AM PDT

I'm trying to find a calculation that will show 14 days in the future from the date the word document is opened, every time.  Currently I am using

{QUOTE

{SET Delay 14}

{SET a{=INT((14-{DATE\@M})/12)}}

{SET b{={DATE\@yyyy}+4800-a}}

{SET c{={DATE\@M}+12*a-3}}

{SET d{Date\@d}}

{SET jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}

{SET e{={INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}

{SET f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}

{SET g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}

{SET h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}

{SET i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}

{SET dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}

{SET mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}

{SET yy{=10*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}

"{dd}-{mm}-{yy}"\@" MM/dd/yyyy"}

The problem I'm running into is the date will only be accurate the first time the document is opened, but if I try to run it the next day the date does not update.

Copied Items are Pasted Twice

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:35 AM PDT

I have a new DELL XP15 Laptop with Windows 8.1 and Office 2010.

When I copy a section of text and select paste, the text is pasted twice. For example if I copy "alphabet" it will appear as "alphabet alphabet" when pasted.

I am copying from and to the same document. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I copy/paste using the mouse or a keyboard shortcut.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Thanks

Rounding Percentages

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:23 AM PDT

I have Percentages that range from Whole Numbers to four digits after the decimal. What I need to do is find a rounding that if the calculation shows as 5.9630 rounds to 5.963%, if it is 6.2500 round to 6.25%, if it is 3.5000 round to 3.5%, 5.0000 rounds to 5%.

Word Document displays in 2 columns

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:14 AM PDT

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows 7 OS machine.  Often, when I receive a word document, it is displayed in 2 columns (I have the Zoom set to 100%).

Is there a setting that will always display the document in 1 column?

Thanks ahead of time...

Accessible Office Documents

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 07:28 AM PDT

I work for a government agency which has hundreds of forms created in Word, PowerPoint and Excel. There is a federal law requiring all documents to be made accessible so a person using a screen reader (such as JAWS) can read the documents. Making our documents accessible is a nightmare process.

I heard somewhere that Microsoft is working on a project which will automatically make documents accessible when they are created. If true, this would be a godsend.

Has anyone else heard that rumor?  If so, where could I get more information?

Thanks

Word to PDF - Letters that looks fine in Word get chopped off once PDFed

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:59 AM PDT

I have a number of Word documents that are formatted just right and the text looks perfectly fine. When I PDF the document, any letter that dips below the main line of text (p, g, y, etc.) gets cut off. This happens when I create the PDF via Adobe, CutePDF Writer, and saving as PDF from Word.

My text is set to single spacing, and everything is pretty standard as far as other settings. How can I get my PDF to match my Word document?

Getting Word 2013 to find a full word, not part of a word.

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 01:59 AM PDT

I am trying to get Word 2013 to find the word "dust"—just "dust" by itself—in a document and skipping incidences of it in the words "industry," "industrial" and "industrialization." However, I can't identify a wildcard or the like that does the trick. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Word automatic conditional formatting

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 09:53 PM PDT

I'm looking for a way for certain words to show up highlighted in red whenever they are entered on a word document. The reason for this is I work for a electric company that has several different regulated and non-regulated entities. There are reports that get sent every morning to these entities and they are not allowed to view each other's information. If the person writing and sending the reports puts information on the wrong report it can be a very big regulatory violation and subsequent fines can occur. It would be if a set of words shows up on report A when they should only be on report B then show red to prevent any human error

Predefined headers in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 08:14 PM PDT

I am having a problem getting to the predefined headers in Word 2013.  When I click Insert/Headers, I get a drop down menu with 4 items, the last, 'Save selection to header gallery...' is grayed out.  When I click on the first item, 'More headers from office .com', I get 2, Element and Insight.  I am taking a course in Word at the moment and it is my understanding that there are several more headers (and footers). Any help would be appreciated.  I have the feeling that this is not the 'tiger in the tank, but the **** behind the wheel'.

Surface 2 Word version doesn't have complete auto-correct??

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:53 PM PDT

I have been tying essay after essay on this handy tablet; but I have realized one important factor to my success is having the correct spelling on these papers. Not only does my Word seem to block out the selection for auto-correct buttons but when I send documents to other computers those receiving computers think the spelling is correct as well (and the spelling is most defiantly not). So I now ask, is there any way I can fix this?? Or  is there anyway Microsoft can add full versions of auto-correction?? Please help :)

Microsoft Word 2013 cannot save files.

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:49 PM PDT

Whenever I try to save a file in Word 2013, the box that you use to choose the location does not pop up. I can open files perfectly fine, the problem is just with saving. Before, the problem was still persisting, but when I opened the program, a box popped up that said "cannot create the work file check the temp environment". I looked it up, followed this tutorial and now it opens with no pop up, but I still can't save. I used to have Word 2007 and the same problem was happening to that one. 

Thanks for your help! 

EDIT: Just realized; the message "word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable." pops up when I open a file. Again, I already followed instructions for this error message that should have fixed it.

EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that I also tried to follow Method 1 from this tutorial, but I could not see the Temporary Internet Files folder and when I went to <Drive:>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files to try and create it, it said it already existed. I overwrote it and it still did not appear.
