Word 2013 & 2010 Calibri (&others) font issue

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 01:20 PM PDT

I have a technical issue with Word 2013. Recently my employer upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013, which produced a side effect that I have since been unable to use the full range of symbols (phonetic etc.) in documents. The symbols display correctly if I open a document created with other versions of Word, but a large portion of symbols have disappeared from the Word 2013 version we have in work after the upgrade. I have been unable to find anything in Options or other menus that might help.

At home, I use Office 2010. All symbol ranges (IPA extensions, Thai etc.) can be used with 'Insert Symbol' function and all requisite symbols are there in the same Calibri font. I could use other fonts to get the needed symbols, but I'd very much to prefer to use Calibri.

Help Me Someone please im in desperate need!!

How do I make a pic look like a magazine cover with Word?

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Hey, Guys

I would like to take a photograph and and insert it into a word document, then blow it up to make it look like a magazine cover. When I drag the corners, the picture became grossly distorted. I'm thinking that the  margins may be the problem, or something else. Got any ideas? Is there a way to enlarge the pic without losing the quality? I'd like the pic to be the same size as a standard 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper.

Much appreciated.

List Style Font Size

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I'm creating a list style for my class notes I'd like it to do the following

Level 1: Font size 12

Level 2: Font size 10

Level 3: Font size 8

I'm able to make the number decrease in size automatically, but the content of each level stays at size 12. If I manually change the font size in the document, the font for the entire document changes.

Is there a way to have different font sizes per level in a list or does the content all need to be the same size?

Old Versions of Word

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:42 AM PDT

I've come across a lot of Users who still cling to old versions of Word. I paid about 300 bucks for Office 95, and still use it with XP and have 95 Word on both Win 7 pcs. The Office other parts, Excel, etc. I wouldn't load in Win 7, as they don't work properly [my newer pc got Display problems with Office on the Desktop] and there are plenty of compatible freeware office suites.

I received a basic Office 2003 disk with an earlier, 32-bit Win 7 HP pc, and got the ready-installed Word 2010 with newer machines. I don't like being nagged at to buy or Upgrade, so I keep these newer progs in case I want to improve a 95 document with the increased font colours, etc.

There some important features missing when we Install this old Word version: Help, which installing Windows6.1-KB917607-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB917607-x64.msu on Win 7 will facilitate, and PF7 generated Spell/Thesaurus.

Now, I don't know if anyone knows a better way to do this: but I looked for the file 95 said was missing when PF7 was pressed, mssp32.dll. I didn't have a clue where it would be in Win XP, so went searching. It was in C:\Program Files\Common Files|Microsoft Shared\Proof.

Win 7's PROOF seemed to have the same files, same size, different dates, but, maybe, they weren't going to work with 95. I copied them in, allowing 7 to Rename them (2).

So, it's all working now. Well, at least I'm still using MICROSOFT products in the main.

Table of Contents with Track Changes

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 07:42 AM PDT

I am creating a series of long documents (most are in the 500+ pages range). I use the track changes function to keep track of edits that I make in the documents as changes are published in the original source material. Each document has a Table of Contents.

Here's the problem: When I make a change that requires updating the TOC, track changes records it as an insertion of an entirely new TOC and deletion of the old version. It takes long enough to generate the TOC in the first place. Having to accept the insertion and deletion takes that much longer.

Is there a way to use Track Changes without picking up changes in the TOC? If I turned it off before I generate the updated TOC, would I lose the markup on other changes that I made?

How can a Word document attached to en email have a modification date later then the send date? (Court case)

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Hello, I'm involved in a court case, in which a Word document is used as evidence. I have to figure out if this is the real, original document , or a modified version. The problem:

an email is send 10th of February 2012 , and received in the inbox of MS Outlook 2007 (Office 2007). Attached to this email is a Word document (docx) , that is supposed to be created the 2nd of January.

When I open the attached document, Word (2007) opens. I now go to "Top left button-> Prepare ->   Properties". In the window that comes up I click on "Document properties->Advanced properties". A window opens that shows:

Created : 2 January 2012 . (Which seems correct)

Modified: 28 June 2012. ?????

Accessed 13 September 2014. Which is correct. (The date that I'm writing this).

Notice that I have'nt  detached and saved this document to the computer.

Question: How can the Modification date be AFTER the date that the mail was send ? If I had saved the document and opened it, and modified it, it would have been an OTHER document and the attachement would still keep the same Created/Modified dates. No??

I don't think that the person is question is capable of modifying the mail message on the server or on my local outlook file (PST, maintained by MS exchange). If he had the capability of doing that, I think a possible explanation COULD be that someone modified the document on 28 June 2012, and reinjected it into my email folder to make it look as if it was delivered February 10. I don't think they are capable of that.

So any other explanation?

Thank you

'No Bullets or Numbering' on linked styles after importing styles using organiser

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 02:30 AM PDT

I am attempting up update the look and Feel of documents created with an earlier version of template.  Both the old and the new templates contain multilevel  numbered list linked styles and both work fine on their own.

When importing the styles from the new template in an attempt to update existing documents Look and Feel, using organiser, the linked styles have no numbering.  When looking at the linked style definition after import, 'No Bullets and Numbering' is evident. I can find no reason this might be happening.  It is as if the import is causing a problem. (Although it might be something I have done).

Both templates use the same style names and I don't know how to reset the 'No Bullets or numbering' setting on the imported styles without 'reverting to the parent (heading) styles (Heading 1 though Heading 9) ie deleting the styles and recreating them manually on each document to be updated.

Is there a way to tell Word 2010 to remove the 'No Bullets or Numbering' setting in the imported linked style ie to 'inherit' Bullets and numbering from the 'based on' parent styles' .  The numbering used is complex and requires multilevel linked styles.

Office 365

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 06:52 PM PDT

I am trying to access my office 365 on our surface and we keep getting an error "We couldn't start your program"  It wants us to go into the control panel and "repair" the program.  However, when we go into the programs feature, the only two options we have are Uninstall and change?  How do I repair the program when the option isn't available?

Help with Resume template

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:59 PM PDT

This is probably a really stupid question. I'm helping a friend do a resume and a template saves time. I'm using Word 2010. In the template it says to add another experience, education, etc entry click the sample entries and click the plus sign that appears. I'm not seeing a plus sign. Am I over looking it or what? 

Please help me get my document back! Or learn from my mistake!

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 03:58 PM PDT

I bought a subscription to Office365.  I spent twelve hours yesterday working on a document that has to be filed Monday.  Let's call it "Brief." As always, I saved my document every fifteen minutes or so to my "OneDrive" folder.    

At the end of the day, after I went home, I started getting emails and texts from something claiming to Microsoft.  The emails told me someone had been trying to access my account.  I figured this was spam and ignored it.  

This morning, I opened "Brief" to finish it up and I got a message saying I was locked out of Office 365 because someone had tried to access my account.  I had to enter a code that eventually I persuaded Microsoft to send to my email address.  When I entered the code, I was told I have to change my password before I can open my document.  So I did.  I did all of this on Microsoft's website, so I assume this was legit.  

Once I had entered the code and changed my password, I went to open "Brief" again.  

A menu appeared asking whether I wanted to open the "desktop version" or the "server version" of my document.  

The menu had frozen everything else, so I couldn't do anything until I made a choice.  I couldn't see the document.  I couldn't see the document information.  The menu didn't tell me which was the more recent version -- the "desktop" version or the "server" version.  The menu wouldn't let me navigate around to let me see which version was the later version.  I was still locked out.  Nor did the menu give me a choice to save both versions.  In fact, the menu didn't tell me it was going to overwrite anything at all.  It just asked me which version I wanted to open.  

So I flipped a coin and chose "server version."  

Here is where the inconvenience became a nightmare.  

I lost all my work.  

Apparently the "server" version had never been synced with the "desktop" version.  I'm guessing Microsoft turned off the "sync" between my desktop OneDrive folder and the cloud some time ago without telling me, and the "desktop" version was the one I had been working on all day in happy ignorance.  

Also, apparently when I chose to open the "server" version, it immediately over-wrote the "desktop" version -- again, without warning me.  

So all my work from yesterday is now gone.  

Now, the only version available of my "Brief" is the old version, before all the work I did yesterday.  That's all that's available either on the desktop or on the cloud "OneDrive" server.  

I called Microsoft support and their tech told me I hadn't saved my document properly and there's nothing I can do to get it back.   

Can somebody please tell me how to get my work back?  

If not, please, everyone in the whole wide world, learn from my mistake.  

Please, for the love of God:  Do not use Office365.  It will take your documents into its own domain, lock you out on a whim, delete your hard work, and finally laugh at you when you beg them to take pity on you.  

(Is my nightmare as horrible as being held hostage by ISIS?  No, of course not.  But then, I'm not asking anyone to deploy hellfire missiles against Microsoft.  I have some sense of proportion.  I'm just begging someone to take heed and fix this problem).
