Cut & past a picture into a Word page it is formatted "IN FRONT OF TEXT" so it can be moved around, the arrow keys are used to shift the picture around the page in small increments.  In my case no matter which direction I press the arrow keys, the picture only jumps upwards in large steps until it is off the page.  HELP anyone ...

Why do my links to break when I copy the entire document?

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 12:19 PM PDT

Hi!

I'm having trouble with my links from excel into my word document. They work great, up until I need to copy the word document and excel document. 

I keep a MASTER copy of both the excel and word and save the "copied" versions as the OLD version so I can continue working on the MASTER copies. However, when I do this, the links break!

Why is that?

US versus UK English

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 10:36 AM PDT

Hi. I'm using Word 2010. In Word Options, Choose Editing Language, the editing language options are English (Ireland) <default> and English (U.S.) The Display Language and Help Language are both set to the default (Match Microsoft Windows <default>). The spell check on most of my Word files works as desired, ie flags US English as an error, but in some Word files, UK English (ie same thing as English (Ireland)) is flagged as an error in favour of US English. How do I ensure that the spell check on all Word files is English (Ireland) <default>? Thanks a lot in advance, Dollo

Why would AutoCorrect stop working?

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 10:19 AM PDT

Do you have any idea why AutoCorrect would stop working.  I have a number of words added that should automatically correct as I type them, but for some reason none of them are working in the document I am working on this morning.  Any ideas what setting it would be that it suddenly stops checking?  I have checked FIle/Options/Proofing, and everything appears to be normal.  Is there somewhere else it can be turned off?  Some of these are simply shortcut words, such as nw for network or app for application or bw for bandwidth so that I don't have to spell them out every time, but none are working today.  Thanks for any ideas.

Linking Microsoft Excel Chart Object

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 09:15 AM PDT

When I paste a microsoft excel chart object as a link, I then size this image to 7 inches to fit on my word page.

When I need to relink (not Updated Link which works fine) the object snaps back to its original size. Is there a way that the 7 inches is respected when relinking?

cheers, Erich

How do I insert a checkbox BEFORE a list number in a test?

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 08:50 AM PDT

I am trying to create a test that learners can fill in, using clickable checkboxes. Seems simple enough. But when I create a simple, multiple choice question, like the example below, and try to insert checkboxes using the Developer tool, for some reason the programmers have made it so the checkboxes are inserted AFTER the listed letters, not before, which is not intuitive at all. And I can't cut and paste them. I can't move them. I have no control at all, except to manual type all of the listed numbers and letters. And that sort of negates the entire point. I may as well just print the test and hand it out to my corporate learners like children.

SURELY there is a way to insert clickable checkboxes in the intuitive spot, BEFORE the answers??? HELP!!!!

  1. All of the Following statements regarding horses are TRUE, except:
    1. They have four legs.
    2. They can run quickly.
    3. They are purple.
    4. They have hooves.

      (Well, this box limits the formatting, of course - those second tier numbers are supposed to be letters. Man, my frustrating level is rising!!!)

Microsoft Office Starter 2010

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT

I have a laptop running Windows 7 and Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - no problems.  My mother has the same setup and all was working fine until a couple of months ago.  Now when she tries to open a file she gets a box asking her 3 questions - does she want to buy Office 2010, install ... can't remember other options offhand - but all that happens with each of them is that she gets taken to Office website to buy new version.  I have been through every setting I can think of and nothing solves the issue.  Can anyone help?

Word Randomly Zoomed in Big . . .

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 06:36 AM PDT

This morning when I was trying a keyboard shortcut for an em dash, I pressed Fn, Alt and Plus/Equals, and instead of getting what I wanted, Microsoft Word 2007 zoomed in on itself, so much so that the icons, such as bold, italic and underline, are now blurry and hard to see. I have pressed Fn, Alt and Minus repeatedly to attempt to reverse the process, but this has not worked.

I would be grateful if someone could provide a solution.

Many Thanks.

How do I create preview images for workgroup templates in Word 2013?

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 02:56 AM PDT

I am trying to display preview images with my workgroup templates in Word 2013.

Everything I have read says to select the option to create thumbnails for the files when saving the template.

Yes, that creates thumbnails for documents created from the templates, but not for the templates themselves.

I'm obviously missing something but don't know what.

Can anyone help?

Reduce 3 empty lines to 2 - macro?

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 12:52 AM PDT

During review and cleaning up of Word documents, I often need to reduce 3 empty lines to only 2 in order to make it consistent throughout the document.

Can it be done via a type of "Find and Replace" function in a macro?

Thanks!

Creating a tile in Microsoft 8 or Finding a Tile that has "disappeared"

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 07:06 PM PDT

Here is my problem: 

For some reason, the tile for WORD has disappeared from my start Screen. 

Further, "Word" is not listed in All Apps

Yet, I can go to a previously created Word Document in "my Documents", open it, and edit it.

With that document open, I can then Ctrl N to create a new document

When I have an existing Word document open, I have all of the functionalities  which I had previously.

How do I get the "tile" back to the main screen, so that I don't have to do this long series of unnecessary steps to open a new document and get to work! 

Thanks in advance for your help

Icons freeze and won't let me save or anything while working in Word 2007

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 04:16 PM PDT

Do I have a "lock" on or something?  There must be a key I hit accidently that has made this happen because it's worked fine up until now.  I did the Microsoft Tools Diagnostic and everything seems to be fine.  Please help.
