Microsoft Word - corrupted Group data Colection file. (.ini or .exe)

corrupted Group data Colection file. (.ini or .exe)

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 02:56 PM PDT

Propted:  How do you want to open this file? Selected - notepad. Now every time I try to use the file to gather the groups accumulated info, it instantly opens and its a bunch of jibberish. I used it once with the person that gave it to me and it actually accumulated and categorized the info. It's unuseable to me now, and I don't know how to fix it! I don't know where to start?

How to insert an automatically updating picture that re-sizes and re-orients itself

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 01:20 PM PDT

Hello. I am hoping to find a macro which will allow me to insert an object (which will be a picture) that will automatically update itself, re-size itself and center itself upon opening. This will be used for large word documents that have references to data sheet images which change. When these data sheets change i would save them as the same name and file type as the original and then move the original file to an obsolete folder, eventually repeating this process once the data sheets change again. I currently have some bits of code which I am not sure how to integrate but this code to follow adds a image as an inline shape, upon running the file explorer opens so the user can select what image to place into the word document. After selecting the desired image it is re-sized and re-oriented. I am looking for a macro that will open the 'object' command in the insert tab, open the browse prompt for 'create from file' and then make it so the 'link to file' box is checked. At which point I would like the image re-sized and re-oriented. PLEASE HELP! ANY INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Dim oDialog As Dialog
 Dim strFile As String
 Dim oImage As Object
 Dim oRng As Object
     Set oDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture)
     With oDialog
         .Display
         If .Name <> "" Then
             strFile = .Name
         End If
     End With
     Set oImage = Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strFile)
     With oImage
         .LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
         .Height = CentimetersToPoints(25)
         .Width = CentimetersToPoints(19)
         Set oRng = .ConvertToShape
     End With
     With oRng
         .RelativeHorizontalPosition = _
         wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage
         .RelativeVerticalPosition = _

         .Top = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
     End With
 Set oDialog = Nothing
 Set oImage = Nothing
 Set oRng = Nothing
End Sub

I also use a macro for updating file paths as soon as a document is opened (usually in reference to the document filepath itself, so that the location can be easily found by another person) I am not sure if this macro would come in handy for updating the object (which would be a image in this case) or if the linked image would automatically update upon opening the word document.

Converting Word Doc to PDF

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 12:40 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 document that I created a while back. I have updated numerous times and converted to pdf with no problem. A few weeks ago I started getting Unknown error and the document doesn't save as pdf. I have Acrobat Pro XI. This did begin happening right after a Windows update. However, this is only happening with this one document. It's very strange. I did try to recreate and it worked once then stopped. I can convert it using Acrobat 9 which again is strange as XI is latest version. I even tried Print to pdf and it still doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas why this particular document generates an error when converting to pdf?

Multilevel list does not work after update

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 11:09 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

My problem started after an update from Microsoft. At first the multilevel worked as it was supposed(?) to. But after the update it doesn't work. How it was working was just like it would work if you are actually doing on a piece of paper. Even when I start a new page the multivlevel outline still doesn't work. So what now?

Word Paste Special Date Format

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 10:34 AM PDT

I have a document template I'm creating where a date must appear in one section in the the format of MMMM d, yyyy. However, in the footers, this date must appear in the format of M/d/yyyy. At the beginning of the document I used a date picker content control for the users to input the date. I then attempted to use the Paste Special option to paste the date from the date picker field into the footer as unformatted text. Problem is that although I can adjust the text properties, I can't change the date format using this method. Aynone have any ideas of how to do this or another recommendation of how to accomplish this? Thanks!

MS Word longstanding drag & drop problem

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 10:30 AM PDT

Drag and drop in word 2013 (and previous versions) does not work when any supporting window is open, such as Find, Styles, Cross Ref, etc.  The cursor converts to the internatinal "NO" symblol and DnD does not work.  When will this get fixed?

This problem was posted long ago:

Dragon Naturally Speaking compatibilty with Office

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 07:36 AM PDT

I am having compatibility issues running Nuance DNS13 with Office (Office 365 University) products, specifically with Word I am running Win 8.1 pro. The Natspeak add-ins will not load.

I have tried un/registering dgnword.dll

I have tried to add the COM add-ins via Word.

I have been in contact with Nuance and Microsoft to no avail.

(Microsoft wanted me to upgrade to premium support services so that they could try remotely at $149/year, no thank you!)

Watermark is making my document longer

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a document that is 16 pages long without a watermark and 22 pages when I add one. I have tried smaller font sizes (on the watermark) but with same result. I have revealed formatting in the document but it is not clear why this is happening. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks, TJ

Microsoft Word Annotative Document

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 06:36 AM PDT

Hi guys

I'm looking for a little bit of advice at the moment, I am trying to create a document that contains a front page with various options (tick boxes) and once those boxes are ticked, the document fetches the information from those selections from an external file and inserts them in the word document below. It is to create a document with the specific information regarding the project the user is working on so they only collect the information relevant to them

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Creating a form that populates remaining fields through the use of a drop-down box.

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 01:44 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using Office Word 2010 attempting to create a form that will populate fields through the use of making a selection with a drop-down box.

I have learnt how to populate other drop-down boxes using Legacy drop-down boxes, VBA case selection and adding new items however would like to do a similar thing with text boxes.

Ideally, this form will be able to be sent out to other machines as just a single file and simple to use. Could someone please point me in the correct direction?

Many Thanks,

Ryan

Page Orientation

I am trying to print a 5.5" X 8.5" document onto a 8.5" X 11" piece of paper in landscape form.  Is this possible?  I was able to do it on the older version of MS Word, but can't seem to do it on Office 2010.

deleting one-by-one, each Marked Index Entry is painful process, when index runs into pages - seeking help with a quicker approach

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 09:52 PM PDT

Using Word 2013, Insert Index feature, I created a many page index. But I am not quite satisfied with it. I want create a new index structured differently. 

I need to delete the entire index and recreate one from scratch. Deleting process that I know of, and the one available Office Help files do not give me a easy way.

I need to go Home and activate Show/Hide icon. That will identify all indexed entries using Mark Entry feature. Though pages look ugly because of those mark spread all over the pages but that I have to live with it.

Now, I have to select individually each item that looks something like this { XE- "marked word(s)" }. If I have used Mark All then there may be hundred page number entries against one word.

Deleting each and every such item is a painful task under these circumstances.

If someone can give a better option, I shall be very thankful.


Paragraph Spacing command does nothing

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 06:24 PM PDT

I've been teaching students how to use Office 2010 for years, but now have to adapt to Office 2013. One of the new features in Word is the Design tab, and it has a Document Formatting group that contains a Paragraph Spacing command. The Tool Tip for the command states the command will quickly change the paragraph spacing and line spacing of all existing and new paragraphs, but when I try to apply one of the choices, such as Open, which is supposed to set line spacing at 1.15 and space after paragraph of 10 pt, nothing happens. Nothing happens with any of the choices under the Paragraph Spacing command.

I can go to the Home tab, Paragraph group and launch the dialog and change line spacing and space after paragraph, and it works fine. I can modify the Normal style and it affects everything. But Paragraph Spacing does not affect anything. If I look at one of the offending paragraphs using the Style Inspector, I see that the style is normal style plus paragraph formatting set to single line spacing with no space after. I would expect, given the tool tip for the Paragraph Spacing command, that it would override those settings, but that does not appear to be the case. I know I can select the entire document and remove all formatting, but that's really extreme and formatting such as centering titles and subtitles is wiped out. Is there a way to enable built-in choices from Paragraph Spacing to override existing modifications?
