Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Please look at my video and I hope to get a reply.

This is very counter productive and should be resolved.

MS Word document not opening

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I created a word document in computer A (Windows 7) and made it password protected. Now i open it in other computer B with same operating system (Windows 7), MS Word application starts but doesn't open that document. Only MS word window with menu bar is displayed. It doesn't even ask for password. I daily edit the word document in computer A and save another copy and protect it by using password. All these word files are opening in computer A but not opening in any other computers.

Please help

Changing default save location

Split from this thread.

Suzanne,  Are you still involved with this issue - I know the last post is almost a year old. My situation is that I wish your very last sentence was true here.  We upgraded everyone to MS Office 2010 and the Save As issue is causing lots of heartburn due to that option many times defaulting to users c:\drive vs the expected network locations files are opened and edited from. Users know how to drill down to desired network locations but are really getting hot under the collar about this issue since they already have to do this once to get to files that are archived multiple levels deep on a network drive to do reviews and updates - they save their work [renamed appropriately] and assume all is well. Then, when they are out of the office, their work [edited and re-named files] cannot be found as it is not in the expected folder but rather on their c:\drive locked away from other users and IT [where I am at] has to get involved with managers/supervisors needing to approve perusal of their personal profile area and moving of files. This has become very bothersome. There is no budget to upgrade to 2013 and no desire to downgrade to 2007. Perhaps a local fix or macro is available to address this?  Thanks.

Word 2010 Mail Merge: Records Only Merge to One Cell (top left) of Multi-Cell per Page, Multi Page Merge Document

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 01:13 PM PDT

I am merging contact information to cards (Avery template from Word selection) that are laid out two across five down.  I have entered my MERGEFIELDS in the top left cell of the document, selected recipients from the source, etc. and conducted the merge.  Every tenth record merges correctly into the top left cell of each page of the document, but no merged data appears in any of the remaining 9 cells on the page. 

Is there a general strategy on how to troubleshoot a problem like this? 

CLick to run configuration failure

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 12:35 PM PDT

I'm having an issue with opening Microsoft Word Home and Student on my WIndows 7 computer. It was installed on it before I got it, and I got it as a gift brand new from my grandparents in 2010. This started recently, but I can't open it anymore, it give me a box saying "Click-2-Run configuration failure". I have tried to Fix-It wizard from Microsoft, and it says that it won't work with my OS. (Not sure why, it's an HP notebook and Windows 7). I can't get a new product key from HP either, I went through their support and basically got the message I'm SOL. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? If there's a very detailed step by step guide that would be great as I'm not good with doing things to alter programs. I have Microsoft Word Starter 2010 if that helps. All I use out of the Office suite is Word, so I'd rather avoid having to buy it to use.

Irregular page numbering in Word Navigation view

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 12:18 PM PDT

I have a 75 page Word document that shows irregular page numbering from the Navigation view. The view show pages 1-6 normally, then the next page is 9 and page 11 is duplicated. This seems to be the reason I cannot add page numbers in the footer in the proper sequence. Am I able to change or re-format?

How do I stop Office 2013 from "helping" me so much?

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 10:45 AM PDT

I recently "upgraded" from Office 2010 to 2013.  Not only do I still see things that have been bothersome to me many others  but I see new "features" that only add to that list.

I don't need to have tool-tips blocking my cursor when I want to click on something.  I am intelligent enough to see the tip else where on the screen.

I do not need to have a bullet placed when I want to enter a line of asterisks.

I especially want to stop all these automatic spaces between single sentences and paragraphs that make my document look as if a 2nd grader wrote it.

The ribbon and borders used to have a blue color to it to separate it from the text screen and other windows.  How do I get that back?
I used to be able to click on a window and clearly see that it has been selected.  How do I get that back?

When I use the arrow keys to walk up and down the text, I realize that it will stop mid sentence where I last placed it but it does not stop in the blank lines anymore making it all that more difficult to find.  How silly is that? How do I fix that one?

Apparently word-wrap doesn't work anymore as I cannot see both ends of the lines I am writing.  I have to use the HSB to read sentences longer than 25 words.  How do I fix this?  Is this a feature of this web site or another one in MS Office that needs repair?

Is there any prospect to have this program work to my benefit instead?

Word claims someone else is editing my document

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 10:08 AM PDT

I have a document stored on a network.  I move it to my hard drive to work on because of how slow the network is.  When I go to save the document one of two things happens:

1) I get told that someone else is editing the document, except there isn't anyone else editing the document.

2) I get a message saying that I have read only access, but nothing turns if off.

In both situations I have to resave the file with a different name.  Which isn't working, I now have multiple versions of documents in multiple folders when all I want to do is edit the document on my hard drive and then move it back into the network folder.  

What do I do?

Text highlighing in additional colors, beyond the 15 colors available

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 09:49 AM PDT

Word offers 15 colors for highlighting text. But except for yellow, they're sometimes too intense,  and they make the text difficult to read.

One alternative that I see is the paragraph shading, which offers many colors. However, that seems to work only for an entire paragraph. And even if I want to shad the entire paragraph, the shading goes to the end of the line, and does not stop at the paragraph mark.

Are there any other options for highlighting in colors that are less intense? Is there any way to shade a paragraph and have the shading stop at the paragraph mark?

Thanks.

Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 09:38 AM PDT

I'm having difficulty with getting addresses/labels onto my envelopes.

Only one line of an address is populating the labels window from my original document.

I have attached a screen shot to demonstrate the issue.

How do I fix this issue?

BTW:  I'm new to this arena so please be gentle with me.

Section Breaks

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 08:37 AM PDT

I am trying to figure out how to keep the text from rolling to a new page in the first section and not going to the second page which is the beginning of the next section.  The sections are next page breaks and page 1 has a different header from page 2.   Once I get this set I want to set the document as a template so that my users can enter their data but don't want the template editable.  Any help would be appreciated.

Open recent files command on Quick access toolbar in office 2013

How to place "open recent files" command on Quick access toolbar in MS Word 2013

 

I just upgraded to Office 2013 and have found that one of my most used shortcuts appears to no longer be available.   The icon that I could place on the quick access toolbar (QAT) to display a list of recently open files is no longer available.  I understand I can reach this list by clicking on file then click open then see the list.  If anyone from Microsoft sees this post – please consider allowing your customers the option and convenience of the former method and add the functionality back in the next update available for MS Word 2013.  If anyone knows how to get that shortcut back on the quick access toolbar I would surely appreciate telling me how to do this. I know how to customize the QAT the option just isn't there.

 

Thank you

Endnotes in Word

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 06:19 AM PDT

I have a large number of documents created with Word 97. These documents have endnotes. In that version it was possible to view the main text and the endnotes simultaneously, the former in a window on the top half of the screen, the latter in a window on the bottom half (with adjustable sizes). I can't figure out how to get Word 2013 to do the same and will be grateful for any advice.

Bold font is not shown in pdf output from word

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 05:17 AM PDT

When I use a pdf printer, all is fine, but using the build-in save as pdf function, bold comes out as non-bold.

That is very weird.

Thanks for helping!

Bluetooth Issues on Ipad while using a keyboard

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 03:32 AM PDT

I have major issues in using WORD on the Ipad with office 365.  Right now as i type this on the ipad with a keybord, its perfectly normal. When I try to type a word docuent in Office 365 the lag time is so slow for the kepboard to respond it takes 10 times longer to type a simple document. Ive checked for Office 365 updates and found nothing. The time it takes to type a simple document really renders the program useless to me to the point that I dont want to subscribe another year to something that doesnt work properly.  Anyone else have this issue and if so, have you found a solution? Its great to have WORD on the ipad and if it worked would be a HUGE plus as I do a lot of documents on the move which is why I didnt want to be tethered to a desk top version.  I have also noticed on the iphone I dont get the individual Microsoft icons for word, powerpoing and Excel like the ipad and I cant save to the actual device. I recently bought the iPhone 6 plus 128GB for this purpose and find I cant do it.

Thanks for any advise or help!!

Office 2013 Error Messages

Posted: 24 Oct 2014 03:13 AM PDT

I have successfully installed Office 2013, but consistently receive error messages, in particular one relating to Macros and won't open the document. It suggests changes be made to allow Macros in the "macro security settings" section of The Trust Centre. I have tried every option here, to no avail.

After clicking ok on this error message several times, another error message appears "changes have been made to the global template" and invites you to save or don't save. If save is selected the error message re-appears, and selecting don't save returns to the macro error message.

The error message details that the document being opened has been constructed with macros that need support and that this software doesn't have this.

Any suggestions would be very welcome...

'Clear all' missing in Style Pane - Word 2010

The option 'Clear all', to clean all formatting, usually placed at the top of the Style Pane in Word 2010, has disappeared in some documents. Any idea how to get it back?

Many thanks in advance!

SEQ and REF field code usage

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 04:42 PM PDT

We have a document that we are inserting a field code (SEQ) to consecutively number claims on an application, and then we want to refer back to other claims by number and we are using a bookmark (REF Code) there. For example: 

6. The system of claim 5, wherein some other stuff happens.

The 6 would be a SEQ code for the claim and the claim "5" uses a REF code to the bookmark for the prior claim. We are currently using a bookmark to the claim with a bookmark name for Claim 5. (Like CL5). so the field code looks like this:

{ REF CL5 \h  }

In a different document that came from somewhere else, instead of a manual bookmark, it uses a REF code with some kind of auto generated bookmark name. That code looks like this:

{ REF _Ref268462847 \h \* MERGEFORMAT }

That would work better for us because if claim 5 changes to claim 6 because another claim is inserted just before it, the bookmark names will become very confusing. 

I cannot figure out how to get those hidden bookmarks to generate or how to grab them when setting the REF field code. Can someone help me?
