Problem opening files in Word2013

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 02:32 PM PDT

Every time I open a document by double clicking on it,  the computer opens it in "protected" and "compatibility mode" and changes the file name to "Wd00000012" or similar. I can edit but needs to resave every time.

The documents were all created with word Office 365/2013, the machine is running W7/Office 365/W2013. I have tried with just creating, saving and then trying to double click to open - same result.

I have discovered that right clicking the file and selecting "edit" opens the file correctly and allows it to be saved immediately back to the current location. I have also tried to resolve the compatibility issue by going into the trust centre settings and altering "protected view" options so that no internet documents etc open in protected mode. None of this has helped.

Also, by starting Word first and then browsing to the file makes it open correctly.

Any advice much appreciated,

Sincerely,

Mårten

Mysterious behavior of photos

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 01:21 PM PDT

I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to edit digital photos for insertion in blog posts, on Facebook, as email attachments, etc. Although I invariably choose the "Document" size on the Compress Pictures tab, and they all end up the same dimensions (in pixels) and about the same size (in kb), they occasionally behave very strangely when inserted in Word.

The first screen shot below shows two picture files as listed in Windows Explorer. The second shows the result when these two pictures are inserted in Word. The Size tab of Format Picture shows both of them as being at 100% even though one is 8" x 10.67" while the other is 2.56" x 3.41".

Does anyone have any ideas?

How do I make Word 2013 stop asking me if I want to save changes to the document template if i'm not using the template right then?

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 12:55 PM PDT

I created a Word template. When i generate a new document from that template and try to save it, Word constantly asks me if i want to  save my changes to the document template. I created the template as a tarting place, and I don't ever want to change it? HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?

Cursor movement - Word 2013, Dell laptop

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 12:48 PM PDT

When using previous versions of Word I was used to using 'control' 'home' or 'end' to get to the beginning or end of a document, and 'home' and 'end' to get to the beginning and end of lines. Why doesn't this work in Word 2013 on a new Dell XPS laptop, 8.1?

Word 2010: How do I change the default text position in a prebuilt sidebar in a report template?

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 11:20 AM PDT

Greetings, Community ---

I'm working with a Word 2010 report template called Adjacency.  I chose it because it has mirror margins and prebuilt sidebars that automatically position themselves correctly on an even or odd page.

Here's the problem. The text in the sidebar starts about a third of the way down the sidebar. I want to start at the top of the sidebar. How do I do this?

All help much appreciated!

Is it possible to move the Object Browser to one monitor and leave the VBE Code window in another monitor?

Page numbering in Word 2010

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 10:05 AM PDT

I am creating a document that has both headers and footers.

The footer is identical throughout the document and contains page numbering (except for the first page).

The headers are a bit more complicated:

The document is divided into sections. Each section header includes the section title and the number of the page in this specific section.

Here's the problem:  starting an new section, I defined page numbering in the header  to start from 1 and it automatically did the same in the footer. I went to the footed and told it to continue from previous section, and it automatically changed the header to do the same.

IS THERE A WAY TO SEPARATE PAGE NUMBERING IN THE HEADER & FOOTER OF THE SAME DOCUMENT?!

Thanks in advance!

Pictures not showing in Word 2007, but print OK

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 07:35 AM PDT

When I start the computer, I get a message saying something like "unable to find module ..../cnmss" and I now can't see pictures in Word 2007, though they print OK. I have looked at existing questions about not displaying  pictures, but couldn't find anything that helped.  Hope someone can!

Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 06:57 AM PDT

I went into Microsoft Word 2010 to compose a new document.  The page it opened to is one that I am not familiar with and it has limited features.  I clicked to "Home" where I normally compose my documents but it was frozen.

Please, I would appreciate your assistance.

problem with show/hide

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 06:31 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using Show/Hide. Why some times it is in the middle of the page, sometimes at the beginning of the page? Sometimes it it looks huge, sometimes tiny, what is causing that?

Thank you.

Word 2010/2013: How to use Go To menu to go to (e.g.) Endnote 5 in Chapter 2

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 06:22 AM PDT

I have a document that contains two chapters, each in its own section. Endnote numbering is correctly set to restart at each section in the whole document.

The problem is this (I am giving a simplified example):

Chapter 1  has two endnotes, numbered 1 and 2.

Chapter 2 has ten endnotes, numbered 1 through 10.


If I use the Go To menu to go to an endnote, and enter "3", Word goes to endnote 1 in chapter 2, which is the third endnote in the document, even though it is numbered 1. If I use Go To to go to endnote 8, it takes me to endnote 6 in chapter 2.

I seem to remember that some Word dialogs have ways of specifying pages or other items within a section, but I can't find any syntax that seems to solve this problem. 

It would be very inconvenient to through-number all the notes temporarily, because I am marking changes from a printout in which the correct numbers apply. In my actual document, there are six chapters, each with almost a hundred endnotes, so the problem is not at all easy to deal with.

Thanks for any help.

Help with runtime error 438 - caused by using Office 2010 macro in Office 2007?

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 04:48 AM PDT

Hi,

I am trying to run a visual basic macro in excel 2007 that was created in excel 2010.

When working, the macro creates a word document, populates it with data in the spreadsheet then converts to a pdf before emailing.

I'm getting a 438 error at the point where it creates the word document.  I believe this is down to the different version of word I am using (having made some changes to the references in excel (to version 12.0).

The debugger has highlighted the following code as the issue:

objword.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 Filename:=name & "_" & BookingID & ".docx", FileFormat:= _
wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles _
:=True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
:=False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=14

Running Office 2007 on a Windows 8.1 device.  Both 32-bit.

The code works perfectly on Office 2010 on a Windows 7 machine, both 64-bit.

I don't know how to code at all so any advice welcomed.

Thank you.

Spacing issue in Office Professional Plus 2010

Posted: 18 Oct 2014 10:10 PM PDT

Since of late when i type in Microsoft Word 2010 after i press the enter button there s a huge space and when i try changing the spacing it does not change. But when i do press the enter and swift button together then i would not get the huge space. I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 and running Windows 8. I faced this problem since of late and previously i did not face any issues like this. Glad if anyone could give me a permanent solution so that i wouldn't need to press the enter and the swift button together all the time which is kind of cumbersome. Thanks 

Error opening word

Posted: 18 Oct 2014 08:26 PM PDT

"We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now?"

I am getting this message when trying to open word on my computer. It doesn't allow me to access any old documents as well as create new ones. Anyone know why this is coming up? I just downloaded Office 2013 a couple days ago but it still won't let me access it.

Thank you,

How to keep source font color when merging styles ?

Posted: 18 Oct 2014 05:00 PM PDT

Hello,

I am trying to insert syntax highlighted code snippet into my MS word document. I have created a style for code sections in my MS word document and I would like to use it for the copied code snippet. While copying, when I use "Merge styles" option, I am losing all the syntax highlighting and the whole code becomes black colored (because my base fornt color is black). I would like to keep the source font color formatting but merge it into my code section style (which basically just enables line numbering and background shading).

Here is the original DOTX file with further explanation : Link. You can download it and open in MS Word 2013 to see the contents properly.

Thank you.

Cannot use Save As to get a picture into Word from a web page

Posted: 18 Oct 2014 03:42 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

While you should be able to copy/paste or drag an image into Word, another option is to right-click on the image and choose Save As. Save it to your My Pictures folder and then use Insert | Illustrations | Pictures to insert the picture you saved. When you save the picture, note that the default filename (the one used for the online image) may be something you would not recognize, so you may want to change the filename when you save it.



I don't get the Save As option described above, so I'm stuck. (Before I tried this I tried a simple Control + C and was told "Item not Collected; Format not supported by Office Clipboard" What next?

Best regards.
