Word 2013 lags, locks up, stops responding

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 01:36 PM PDT

When I am using Word 2013 it lags often. When I type a word it will be spelling out on the screen just fine, then it stops spelling out, then it will catch up to what I have typed. Very annoying. this happens even with small documents, like if I open a blank page and start typing. within a few sentences I notice it lagging.

If I try to open more than one document at at time it locks up. This happens if I try to open just two small word documents. then I have to shut it down with the "x" and I get a box that says ".... not responding". Ultra annoying.

Column Break starts a new page, not a new column

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 11:43 AM PDT

I have a document with 3 columns, and I want to end text entry about 1/3rd of the way down Column 2 and have it start again at the top of Column 3 (so, I insert a Column Break). However, the Column break is just before a Section Break (Next Page).  My new Column is now on a new page (so I have the new page for the page break, and another new page with a blinking cursor at the top of the page in the first column.)

I've tried opening the Page Layout properties for Page Setup to the Layout TAB and resetting the break there and about 4 or 5 other thing and nothing works, how do I get that 2nd Column to end and an Insertion Point at the top of Column 3 on this Page 1?

Thx!  Doug

Confirm File Format Conversion Upon Opening NOT Working

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 10:29 AM PDT

I am doing a mail merge with an MS Excel DB.  My Word doc is saved with the box checked for Confirm File Conversion Upon Opening.

The finished Word Docs are not formatted properly.  IT has worked in the past.  it has not the past couple of days.  I have unchecked, saved, re-checked and saved.  Logged in and out repeated times.  Still not formatted properly. 

I also do nto receive the multiple DB sources to chose from when I link my Wrod doc with the excel sheet. 

Something behind the scenes going on with my network possibly?  

Multi-Level Lists: How to Avoid Unwanted Re-Formatting of Paragraphs?

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 08:45 AM PDT

As noted elsewhere, I'm following Shauna Kelly's guide for creating multi-level lists for my documents:  http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html

One thing I've noticed is that if I change the paragraph format for one Header style, the modification automatically applies to all subsequent Header styles.  That is, if I right-click on Header 3, modify, and click bold so that all Header 3 paragraph text is bolded, all of my Header 4, Header 5, etc. texts are also bolded.  (I haven't paid enough attention to see if the prior Headers (1 & 2) also take on the new format.)  I then have to go into Header 4 to remove the bolding from the style.

I'm guessing this happens because when I defined the new style, I associated each Header style with the prior style.  Thus, Header 4 is "based on" Header 3, etc.

Is there a way to avoid this reformatting from happening?  Is it necessary that each Header style is based on the one before it?

Document Properties in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 08:30 AM PDT

I am a college business instructor. Word 2013 documents are the norm for submitted assignments in our courses.

I am MCAS certified and I've been using Microsoft Office for 20 years. I've searched the discussions and wikis on Microsoft .com and Office.com but cannot find an answer to this question to confirm my knowledge:

When checking the Document Properties of submitted assignments, occasionally the Author's name and the Modified by name are different. Also, the "Company" field may include different items, e.g. Microsoft or Hewlett Packard. I know there could probably be several scenarios, but in general, do these things mean:

1. Two different people worked on the document on two different computers?

2. One person used another person's computer to create the document then went to their own computer to finalize it?

3. A person has a used computer that may have not been completely wiped and reconfigured?

3. None of the above?

Appreciate your response!

missing default templates in ms word

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:49 AM PDT

Dear Microsoft Experts,

it seems that the MS word templates are missing (drop down choices to insert page numbers, etc.) and maybe other apps - didn't check those ones yet....  The only visible choice is to go Office.com but that is also greyed out.  The folder in Apps/localdata ...I think it is supposed to be called "Building blocks" directory is missing completely (even tried un-hiding folders from Control Panel).

I also tried reparing Office 2013 from Control Panel/Programs/Repair and also reinstalling Office 2013 from Microsoft install link provided when I purchased - all of these options have failed to restore the defaults page numbers and other default features.

My last resort is to completely un-install Office 2013 and re-install it, but I'm hoping there is an easier way as this seems pretty extreme to simply restore some templates?!

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

Merging form to n Word 2007

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:12 AM PDT

I have a form that I filled out about a year or so ago. I am needing to send another copy of the form out, but their is a new version of the previous form. To save time I am looking for a way to copy the information from the previous form into the updated blank form. I could copy and paste the information but I would only be able to complete one line at a time, instead of the entire page. The form is roughly 27 pages long and trying to copy and paste per section takes longer than retyping the entire thing. So my question is there a way I can merge the information from the completed form onto the blank form by page or

if their is a way to make the process easier? The form is like a job application if that helps describe what it looks like.

Word 2010 Horizontal Line and Text Box Margin

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 06:57 AM PDT

Hello,

For alignment and other purposes, I have a Word 2010 horizontal line in a text box. I have already set the internal margins of the text box to zero, and everything in the Paragraph settings is set to zero. I have also adjusted what I could on the horizontal line itself. There are also no characters or paragraph marks, etc., above the line.

For reasons I don't understand, there is still some type of invisible "margin" above the line in the text box. Every time I try to make the text box small enough to only show the line, the line moves down out of view forcing me to make the text box vertically larger than I have room for on the document in order to see the line again.

How can I get the line to stay put when I (vertically) move the text box borders to make the text box smaller? (And, yes, I do need it in a text box.)

To clarify: Literally, if the line would just stay in place when I moved the text box borders vertically, then there would be enough room for the line inside the box; why does the line move from view forcing me to make the text box vertically larger than it otherwise would need to be? What invisible "force" is doing this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Form fields not updating when the calculation is changed in a macro

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 02:48 AM PDT

Hi All,

I have a table which by default contains 5 rows of data with a total form field at the end, the user needs the ability to add rows to this table when filling in the form.

I have written a macro to insert a new line below the last data line in the table and populate it with new form fields, the macro then modifies the expression element of the total field to include the new bookmark.  Looking at the field properties after the macro has run I would expect everything to work, however the total field is only updated when data in one of the original rows is altered and the new fields are ignored.

The code I am using is:

                                                                    

Selection.InsertRowsBelow

IntTableCountOfRows = TBL.Rows.Count
IntTableCountOfColumns = TBL.Columns.Count

For IntLoopColumns = 1 To IntTableCountOfColumns
    TBL.Cell(lRow, IntLoopColumns).Range.Select
    Set oBorder = TBL.Cell(lRow, IntLoopColumns).Borders

    If Selection.FormFields.Count > 0 Then
        StrFormFieldOLDName = Selection.FormFields(1).Name
        iType = Selection.FormFields(1).TextInput.Type
        iWidth = Selection.FormFields(1).TextInput.Width
        sFormat = Selection.FormFields(1).TextInput.Format
        bCalculate = Selection.FormFields(1).CalculateOnExit

        StrFormFieldNEWName = Construct_Newly_Created_FormField_Name(StrFormFieldOLDName)

        ' Update the total field to include the new field
        If sTotalField <> "" And IntLoopColumns = IntTableCountOfColumns Then
            ActiveDocument.FormFields(sTotalField).TextInput.Default = ActiveDocument.FormFields(sTotalField).TextInput.Default & "+" & StrFormFieldNEWName
        End If

        'TBL.Cell(lRow, IntLoopColumns).Range.Text = vbNewLine & vbNewLine

        TBL.Cell(lRow + 1, IntLoopColumns).Range.Select
        TBL.Cell(lRow + 1, IntLoopColumns).Borders = oBorder
        Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput

        TBL.Cell(lRow + 1, IntLoopColumns).Select
        Selection.FormFields(1).Select
        Selection.FormFields(1).Name = StrFormFieldNEWName
        Selection.FormFields(1).TextInput.EditType iType, , sFormat, True
        Selection.FormFields(1).TextInput.Width = iWidth
        Selection.FormFields(1).CalculateOnExit = bCalculate
    End If
Next IntLoopColumns

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

MS office student edition puzzle

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 12:54 AM PDT

have office student edition installed on a newly purchased Lenovo flex. This is a touch model operating windows 8

The on screen keyboard works fine but I cannot find a way of using the normal keyboard. With due respect to Lenovo the so called User instructions are useless probably the worst ever produced. 

Does anyone know how to switch to the normal keyboard. Perhaps this not available in the student edition??

Get rid of blank pages from a résumé

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 12:31 AM PDT

You won't be able to delete the final paragraph marker but you can "cheat" a little! Try this:

 

1. Select the final paragraph marker (the "backwards P" mark).

2. Right click on it and choose Paragraph... from the pop-up menu.
 
3. Under the Spacing category, make sure you have 0 in Before: and After:

4. Click OK if you made any changes to the Spacing.

5. With the paragraph marker still selected: click on the little arrow in the Font Size button in the Font category and type 1 (you won't find it to select in the list).


I have tried this solution but it did not work.  Would there be another setting or option I could try to get rid of this?  I'm working on someone's Resume for them and did not create it from scratch myself but even though the text fits easily on one page, the second page will not go away. I've tried setting the spacing before and after to 0 as well as changing the font size on the last paragraph break to "1" but it still stays on the 2nd blank page.

Booklet printing in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 05:03 PM PDT

I have created a book that has 448 pages.  I am trying to print it using bookfold style with 16 pages per signature.  My printer is capable of manual two sided print.  I am trying to print two-up per side.  Not only does the printer not stop at 16 pages, ask me to remove the printed pages and re-insert, it prints all 448 pages (2-up) but they do not follow normal signature order.  The first 16 are okay, but then it looses its mind.

I've tried printing 16 pages at a time, but then I loose my page numbers on the bottom of each page.  Also, the only way I can print the 16 pages (it won't let me choose the pages I want to print, but wants to print the whole document) is to highlight the first 16 pages and then print.

What am I doing wrong?  This used to work with Word 2003

Word Form navigation quirk - clicking in a form field causes the screen to jump to the top of a section

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 04:28 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a long Word Form.  The form is broken into sections.

I have used a Bookmark to name the beginning of each section.

I have created a series of hyperlinks to link to the Bookmarks of the different sections.

Here are a series of steps that I regularly execute with puzzling results:

 - the form is locked

 - I Ctrl+click on a hyperlink to navigate to a specific section

 - I scroll down the page to modify the contents of a field at the bottom of the page

 - I click in a field to modify or add contents

 - the screen jumps back to the top of the section

 - the insertion point will be in the field that I clicked in, but the screen will navigate back up to the top of the section.

Does Word do this because it is navigating back to the location of the Bookmark that was used in the Hyperlink?

Is it possible to add some VBA code that will keep the screen form scrolling away from the field that was clicked in?

Thank you

Mark

Font and document are reduced

How can I have multiple documents of word open at the same time

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 06:12 AM PDT

Windows 7 Ultimate; MSOffice 2010;

All of sudden MSWord no longer opened several documents when I clicked on them one by one, opening a window for each one.  Now, MSWord only opens the document currently clicked on and removes the document that was there.  I have searched the knowledgebase endlessly, but find no answer to how I have screwed things up so I can't open several documents simultaneously.
