When I open a folder with Word documents, I find backups have been created for several of them.

Numerous Word documents in my Documents folder have automatically created backups. What's happening? Is it Word, or is it my computer? And how can I stop it?

Word 2013 file wont save

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 01:04 PM PDT

MS Word file 2013, which I have been working on for a couple of months, suddenly won't save.  I can only "save as" with a new name.  Occasionally also get a file permissions error when trying to save.  Have tried the repair using control panel/programs/change quick change and complete change.  Same problem occurs.  Emailed the file to my husband and he does not have this issue - so it is something on my system.  I also see multiple temp files (one for each failed save attempt.... the temp files will not close.  Never seen them before.  Currently working on rev8.    Here is a screen shot: 

anyone have any ideas what to try next?

Word Paragraph Defaults Not Working

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I cannot get a change to the Word Paragraph Defaults to stick.  Particularly, if I check "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style," and then try all manner of saves (Set Default, OK), and select to make the change to all documents using normal.dotx, the change does not survive the current document.  Neither does it apply to the current document in paragraphs already typed (this latter problem is not the issue, as I really care about setting it for future use).

can't create a permanent word template in 2003 and 2007 or 2010

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:27 AM PDT

First of all 2010, 2007 were no improvement over 2003. Its ironic that state employees were taking classes on how to change from 2003 to 2007. Imagine? That hard to do. So here's the problem I'm having besides the re-organization and stupid button. If I create a new normal.dot or import same from another machine. 2007 still defaults to normal.htm. If I delete it word re-creates it. If I save my normal.dot as normal.dotm it reverts to the original word normal.dotm so my changes are lost. I have no use for the normal.dotm. Calibri is a nice font and I use it in graphics applications but for writing readable text I like Palitino. In general for text the normal font should be serif and my personal taste is that I dislike Times New Roman. I have a hierarchy of styles or style set I use for all my writing. Why is it so difficult to get that established as the default style in word? I've tried various articles and help files and they all lead to temporary solutions. What I can't get to happen is for word to open my normal.dot instead of its normal.dotm and I can't change the normal.dotm file. I'd like to either remove normal.dotm so it doesn't come back or make word default to normal.dot. Another problem is every word installation seems to load the files into different locations so there's no way to ask online where they are or which one word is actually using.

What templates will help adapt the Apple version of Word Notebooks to Windows

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:22 AM PDT

I have been migrating from Word 2013 to the PC version of the same. One of the things that is lost in the transition is the ability to use the Apple Word notebooks with their tabbed sections. These are not available in the Windows version since Microsoft wants to get us to use One Note. But I already have the notebook filled with work so I am looking for a template. I just tried the Student template but it seems to only want a list of content, not the content. That is no help. I want to cut and paste from the Apple Word notebook template into one that will also work with Windows Word. Any ideas? Thanks

Default properties and company listed in Word docs

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:21 AM PDT

I am a one-person company, and I use an HP computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I noticed that on some of my Word docs when I open "Properties" that the "company" listed is "Hewlett-Packard." This happens on all new documents, and it's there on new documents that were created the past couple of years. See the attached screen shot. I have highlighted the right side of the shot where the company name shows up.

Previously, the company name was my company, which is not Hewlett-Packard.

How do I change the default setting so in the Properties it says the company name is my company and not Hewlett-Packard?

Yes, I can change it on individual documents, but I want a universal change for all new documents created going forward.

Thank you very much!

Adding a new level of numbered heading to existing template

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT

Can anyone tell me how to add new heading styles to an existing template? For example, I have a template with 5 levels of numbered headings, down to, say, 1.2.2.3.1. But now I need to add Section 1.2.2.3.1.1 and there is no heading built in for that level. The existing heading 6 is something else that is not connected to this numbering system. I know how to build a new template from scratch in Word 2010, but I have no idea how to modify this existing one and am also confused about some of the changes in Word 2013. Does anybody know how to do this? 

Word 2013 crashes when mouse pointer is placed over the author picture in a comment

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:15 AM PDT

Hi!

I am using Word 2013, with all latest updates. The problem is that Word crashes every time I place the mouse marker on top of the author picture in a comment. This happends with all my word documents. Working with comments using Menu > Review >Comments menu works fine, as long as I make sure not to place my mouse pointer over the picture. Is this a bug in Word 2013? I have no other problems with word.

I have tried to log in to both OneDrive and to Office 365 (from File > Account), but that does not seem to make any difference.

Issue with Wildcard Search and Replace

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve with wildcard search and replace in Word 2013 for Windows.

I have a document that I'm editing, in which the author(s) have inconsistently used 1 space and 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. To make things consistent, I want to set everything to 2 spaces after every period at the end of a sentence. I found this wild card formula that should accomplish what I need:

Find: ([.\?\!]{1} )([A-Z]{1})

Replace with: \1 \2

But EVERY time I use this formula to replace one found instance, I get the following:

Original: ...normal aging. In humans... (notice, 1 space after the period)
Replaced: ...normal aging. I n humans... (it's putting a space between the first and second letter of the sentence! why?!)

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. Logically, it all looks good to me. Any help would be much appreciated.

Word does not respond

Split from this thread.

You don't seem to understand.  I cannot get microsoft word to respond.  Nothing you have put on the screen seems to  help me.  I am not very good at this and need a live person to tell me what to do.

I want Outlook to share Word's AutoCorrect list

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 03:00 AM PDT

Hi, I spend ages getting AutoCorrect entries set up in Word - It's a great feature and saves me heaps of time every day.

I want the AutoCorrect entries that I've set up in Word to be available when I am writing emails in Outlook too.

It seems crazy that I've got to set everything up again for Outlook. Is there a way of telling Outlook to just use my Word entries?

Thanks

Micorsoft Word Constantly says "Not Responding" using Window 8.1

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:11 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Window 8.1 and every since I have had an extremely unstable Word. 

I get the "Not Responding" message as soon as the document opens and even when I'm not doing anything in the document.  This past weekend it started a very fast flickering for about 30 seconds.   I am using Office Professional Plus 2010.   The documents that I am working on are all text with a few tables of text.  No pictures or any other graphics. I've had ran the repair and it did not fix my issue.  I can't do anything now because it is constantly saying Not Responding and the screen turns white. 

I use Excel from time to time and I have noticed the Not Responding also but it is not as bad as it is with WORD.  I also use PowerPoint yet I have no issues when using it.

PLEASE HELP!!!

TIA
