Microsoft Word - Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Microsoft Word - Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 02:11 PM PDT

I have a single table, about 11 rows, extending over about 12 pages. I've designated a header row, which appears as expected on the first 9 pages (first 8 table rows), but then does not appear on the remaining pages (remaining 3 rows).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Workgroup Template Folders? Help, Please

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 01:52 PM PDT

I'm trying to create a workgroup template folder that can be accessed by my co-workers.  Our network uses the s:drive as the shared drive.

I'm using Word 2013.  If I go to File -- Options -- Advanced, I can see "File Locations" under general, but this is greyed out.  Do I need to get in their to set the Workgroup Template location?  If so, how do I do that?

Can I set the Workplace Template location to a folder I create on the S:Drive? 

Assuming I can set the workplace template location on my computer to a folder on the s: drive, do I need to get each person on my network to make the same change?

If we all get our Word/Excel set to the right workplace template folder, will that folder appear when someone clicks "new" in either Word or Excel?

Thank you.

How do I save a picture from a Word document into a jpg file or any type of picture file?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 11:16 AM PDT

I've saved some webpages into Word documents (I highlight the page & then copy and paste it into the Word document (this also includes any images, I don't do the images separately)). I hope you understand what I'm describing. I'd like to know how to save a image that's in a Word document as an actual picture file (e.g., a jpg file)? I hope you understand what I'm trying to do. Please tell me there's a way to do this. Thanks.

Comments about formatting changes are annoying and not useful

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 10:55 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

This is not a very good result. Comments about formatting are annoying and not of interest to most users. They distract from changes in content and clutter up the comment balloons. It would be much better if the default mode were the opposite -- thay you have to affirmatively turn on formatting comments to view them.

Thanks.

Is it possible to get a list of every word you changed with the spellchecker in Word? How?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Embedding Video In Word Documents

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 09:55 AM PDT

Hello.

I hope this message finds you well.  Thank you in advance for reading my post.

I have a question regarding the process of embedding Windows Media Player Video in a Word document (using the Developer Tab).  I have managed to get everything working, but there are two small problems I am encountering.

The first is that the video plays as soon as the document is opened, which is annoying - I have learned how to switch between the different UI modes and have used Google to learn about the properties of the Windows Media Player Object, but I can't seem to be able to leave it up to the document reader to hit the "Play" button for the video to play.

My second hiccup is that I have a document that has two Windows Media Player Objects within it - as soon as I open the document, they both start playing simultaneously.  If I solve my first problem, perhaps this one will solve itself.

Can anyone offer me any advice? 

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Sir Duncan Dunstead

Using 'Speak' in Documents

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 06:06 AM PDT

I've discovered how to use the 'Speak' option in Word documents to read out loud what I have written, but the voice reading back is going to fast for me.  Is there any way of slowing this down?

Thanks very much.

How to restore Autotext/Building blocks in Word 2013?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 04:48 AM PDT

I rely on autotext/building blocks a lot - it's an absolute essential every day. Today I seem to have lost the whole lot of my autotext entries (there were thousands). I went into the folder where the templates are kept and found a Normal.dotm file which was edited today, but it appears to be empty. So...

1. Is there any way to get my most recent Autotext/building blocks template back? 

2. How did I delete it, or how did it "empty" itself?

3. I generally use a bunch of different Word templates, and need the Autotext entries to work in all of them, which was happening before. What do I need to do to get it working like that again?

(I'm using Word 2013)

Any help desperately needed and much appreciated!

Word not responding every few minutes

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:52 AM PDT

I am running Office ProPlus 2013 on Windows 8 and have a problem with Word freezing frequently for no obvious reason. I've been through AskTech on the support site but the basic troubleshooting (disabling add-ins) had no effect. It still happens with Word running in safe mode, too.

I'm an editor, work on documents of a few hundred pages, and use track changes. The problem instantly gets worse if I open the reviewing pane, or have changes showing, but even if I avoid doing that the program still freezes a lot. Sometimes it works for the first hour, and then starts freezing every few minutes, even when I'm just typing and not trying to insert a comment or do anything else very radical. And other times it happens almost as soon as I start working. It never completely crashes, but obviously this is slowing me down unacceptably.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office, and it's still happening. I can't work like this. If I can't fix it in the next week or so I'm going to go back to Word 2010, which was always fine.

Any help, pleeeaase?!

Word: how to keep specific rows in a table on the same page?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:42 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a program that uses Excel input to automatically fill a Word template to generate reports. In the report there is a table that spans numerous pages. This table has three columns, but every second row is created by splitting it off from the middle cell of the first row. As long as there is data, another row with three columns is added to the table, followed by a row which is split off from the middle cell of the newly added row.

So my question is: is there a way to keep every first and second row together on a page as a unit?

Details: Word 2010 on Windows 7. All rows in the table are not allowed to break across pages. The input for the cells in the table consists of unspecified paragraphs of text. I have tried using the paragraph.KeepWithNext property, but the problem is that by splitting off the second row from the middle cell of the previous row, two hidden paragraphs are created, one to the left of the split off row and one to the right. Chaining .KeepWithNext over the hidden paragraph does not seem to work. Unfortunately, I really need this particular layout of the table.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Caption help

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:35 AM PDT

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest a way to make the caption label not justified, whereas the rest of the caption text justified?

I have noticed in my table of figures that extra spaces appear between the 'Figure' and '2-1' so that the heading are not aligned and it looks very unprofessional. I use a consistent style for the captions, and all my text is justified (normally this would explain why the words in the table of figures appear stretched, but why it happens to only some of my captions i am at a loss). 

So far I have gone through and used CTRL+Shift+Space between the word 'Figure' and the number '2-1' on every caption in the document to solve this problem. Maybe this answers my own question but does it depend on how you insert the caption, as to what format it takes? I.e. if you click the image and press insert caption, or if you press return after the image and then insert caption...

On that basis would it assume the caption format or the document format and could explain the issue?

Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated 

Word 2013 does not open

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 12:41 AM PDT

When I  click to open the student Word 2013 a error message appears telling me that:

"We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?",

I click the repair button but I does nothing, even if it does run through the repair program, the same box pops-up, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, but everything else like excel or power point works, do I have some other program blocking it, it has been like this for a while now.

Thanks

word wont work

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 08:29 PM PDT

I Have office 365 on my HP and word has stopped working. It only worked for a short time I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The other portions of the suite such as power point work. I have had problems with this product from the beginning. can some one help me? I get a prompt that says "Were sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair it now?  It has three buttons you can click.  Repair Now, Help, and close.  the repair now button does nothing. the help button brings you to this site and the close button does just what it says, it closes the program. It does not give an error code. Any help would be appreciated.

word 2013 in Office 365: "find in" is greyed out

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 05:48 PM PDT

I  just installed Office 365. The  Find In button was active in Word 2013 but I thought something else was wrong with it so I went to 365. (It has the same gross bug as Word 2013.)

"Include level number from" not working

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 03:55 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

Charles, Stefan et al,

I have implemented the Shauna Kelly (RIP!) headings numbering solution that Charles linked here, a few times thru the years. However, it doesn't seem to work for me right now, using Word 2007. When I go to set up my Heading 3 format (by clicking the 'Include level number from...' --> field, choosing

'Level 2'), it only brings in '1' (which is the format for Heading 1, not Heading 2!). Is this somehow a bug? 

Thx!

Mark H.

I would recommend, though, defining your own and following the directions here:
