Microsoft Word - Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Microsoft Word - Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 02:23 PM PDT

When saving my CV/resume document as a PDF, Word keeps adding a visible mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy *** link next to and underneath my email address, despite the fact that I've removed the hyperlink from my email address.  It isn't simply adding a hyperlink, but it's typing out a visible and unattractive mailto: link which throws my columns out of whack.  I can't figure out how to stop this 'feature.'  Has anyone else experienced this?

How can I apply a style to a paragraph or selection but keep any italics that are in it?

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 02:05 PM PDT

I have a VBA ribbon command which applies a style to the paragraph where the insertion point is.  It does some looking around and then simply does

    Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.styles("mystyle")

This works OK but I'd prefer if it did NOT reset all the italicized words that might be in the paragraph to Regular.  I have to redo any italics in the paragraph every time I use this function.

I remember a previous question I asked about preserving italics about a year ago, but I don't think I can use the same technique here, because the text already exists in its desired location - I am not inserting it or "pasting" it.

cropped screen shot doesn't stay cropped when document is emailed to a phone

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 11:55 AM PDT

I made a word document with several images that were screen shots I'd copied and pasted in.  The images were then cropped and re-sized and arranged a bit within the word document.

This document was then emailed as an attachment to both an outlook account and a gmail account.  In both cases when the document was opened on an iphone the word document displayed the original screen shots... as if they had never been cropped.  Any idea what is going on here and what I might do to make it work right?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Auto populate six form fields with different data based on a selection (drop down) or entry (from field).

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 11:13 AM PDT

Engine Type Accelerator 1 Supply Accelerator 1 Signal – Analog Accelerator 1 Return Accelerator 2 Supply Accelerator  2 Signal – Analog Accelerator  2 Return Accelerator  1 Signal – PWM Accelerator  2 Signal – PWM
a             N/A N/A
b             N/A N/A
b             N/A N/A
d             N/A N/A
e J2-09 J2-10 J2-33 J2-08 J2-64 J2-61 J2-55 J2-31
f J2-27 J2-35 J2-28 J2-26 J2-25 J2-22 N/A N/A

 

Choose your corresponding engine from the drop down box:                           or

Enter the Engine type here ________

 

Accelerator Pedal Position 1 Supply                         ______

Accelerator Pedal Position 1 Signal – Analog        ______

Accelerator Pedal Position 1 Return                         ______

Accelerator Pedal Position 2 Supply                         ______

Accelerator Pedal Position 2 Signal – Analog        ______

Accelerator Pedal Position 2 Return                         ______

I would like the user to enter or choose "engineType", then auto populate the corresponding pin# in the fields below the table. I would like to do this without using a Macro.  The Macro makes the file too large.

Why can't we save and close a doc, and minimize Word, all in one click?

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 10:52 AM PDT

Word always hangs around whenever I close a .doc.....it sits there in the middle of my screen, like a big grey elephant, blotting out everything else, including whatever folder I had open, with the list of files I was trying to consecutively edit.  So, I've fallen into the habit of using the X box to shut off Word when I really just want to save and close the current .doc.   I do this because it's the fastest way to get the heck out of the .doc and see the list of files I need to edit next.

But this means when I double click each subsequent file to edit it, Word has to entirely re-load before showing me the document...that takes time, too.

I would prefer to do a File Close when I'm finished editing a doc, but that approach causes a bunch of mouse movements and clicks just to make that happen, and does NOT get rid of the unwanted grey elephantine empty Word app, blotting out everything.

So the question becomes, is there a way to save and close a .doc, and make Word minimize automatically, with ONE mouse click?

Over years of working with Word, this one capability would probably save a typical user many hours of totally unnecessary mousety-clicking.

Office Home & Student 2013 - Word 2013 crashes

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:24 AM PDT

Please help!

I have recently purchased and installed Office Home & Student 2013. When attempting to use Word, after a few minutes the program crashes and says "Microsoft Word has Stopped Working", it will restart and the whole thing will start over again.

I have uninstalled previous Microsoft Office versions, I have uninstalled Add-ins, I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2013 and nothing has resolved the issue.

I'm using Windows 7, 32 bit operating system.

Please advise what I can do to make the program work.

Cheers.

Numbered lists in concatenated documents

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 04:12 AM PDT

Hi,

I've 2 docx with numbered lists:

1.docx content:

1. a

2. b

3. c

2.docx content:

1. x

2. y

3. z

I've a job that merges the 2 docx in one final docx with all the content.

But the final content is:

1. a

2. b

3. c

4. x

5. y

6. z

instead of:

1. a

2. b

3. c

1. x

2. y

3. z

Is there any section break that I can use in the original documents to restart the numbering lists after merging the 2 docs?

Thanks,

Nuno

word files not appearing

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:15 PM PDT

Hello.  When I attempt to open a WORD document in WORD 2013 the folders appear in My Documents but the folders are empty.  However, when I go into Windows Explorer, all of the files are there and I am able to open WORD files. Why is this happening?  By the way, I have had WORD 2013 installed for months and have never had this issue until today.  Thanks!

Word 2013 Forms Not Working

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:14 PM PDT

I'm having a problem with a Word document containing ActiveX textboxes, combos and command buttons.

All are enabled and working when I open the file, however if I then tab through the first 8-10 controls, the command buttons and textboxes stop working. Nothing happens when clicking them. They don't even take focus. The document is protected and set to allow only Forms filling and there is no code in the document at all.

The problem occurs only in Word 2013. If I open the file in Word 2010 it works perfectly. I've tried re-creating the file by copying only the text to a new document and then adding the controls anew. Same thing happens.

Can anyone tell me if they've had similar issues, have a fix, any ideas at all?

Thanks

Exclude a Word from Suggestions

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:35 PM PDT

I know how to exclude words from a dictionary (put it in the relevant ExcludeDictionaryXXnxnn.lex file) so that its reported as misspelt.

What I don't know is how to do is to prevent Word from making some suggestions; particularly for compound words.  Example if I have "there will a low stone wall surrounding the herb garden" then I will get the suggestion to change 'stone wall' to 'stonewall' (obstruct or hinder any discussion), which in this context is clearly wrong. 

Is there some way I can stop Word making particular suggestions.

Thanks Philip

macro template problem

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:20 PM PDT

Hello,

I am looking for an answer a macro question as follows. I searched from internet but could not find an answer and there for I am asking.

We have quite large company which has several sub companies. Each company is concentrated on its own business and IT solutions are bought from outside. However this problem is so common that it takes too much time ask help from outside, every time it occurs, so I am looking for another solution.

Company has multiple word documents in use which are using macros. Macros cannot be integrated to documents itself so macros needs to be run from separate location. Old macros are driven from Word startup folder's roaming section. I know it is possible to create new location for macro template and ask Word to point in it. However it seems that macro templates which are located some other folder than in startup will not stay checked. Is there any way get around of a problem?

It would be best if there could be two separate locations where Word could run macros and both would stay checked as default.

Our company is using Office Word 2010 and Windows 7.

Kind regards,

Joonas-Matti Tuominen

Word and Excel opening Outlook attachments

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:58 PM PDT

Every time I try to open an attachment from Outlook 365, the appropriate application opens and starts to load the document, but then I get a dialog box that says "Microsoft Word (protected view) has stopped working" and then shuts down. The same thing happens if the attachment is an Excel document.

There is no useful help and I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? is the only solution to turn off the option?

Microsoft Office Display is Too Large

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:19 PM PDT

While I was working on a document in Word all of my office displays became enlarged. Most of the troubleshooting I've tried has only been about icons and general computer display, not specifically office or other programs.  It was applied to Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as Paint, possibly other places I haven't seen yet as well. Any idea how to get these back to normal? I'm running Windows 8 and Office 2013.

Problem with duplex printing on Canon MX512

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 04:17 PM PDT

I am trying to print a trifold, two sided brochure for my cancer support group. I am running MSOffice 2007, on Windows7. I have a Canon MX512 which has duplex printing. However, when I send my word document to print, the second page prints upside down. I have monkeyed around with the settings, and have tried templates, but nothing seems to work. If anyone has a solution, I need it explained to me like I'm a five year old - a five year old from when I was a five year old, long, long ago.

Thanks!
