Microsoft Word - Spell check issues using different language in Word 2013

Spell check issues using different language in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 02:26 PM PDT

Hello,

I installed Office 2013 for a user and now her spell check isn't working properly.  She does translation for the company.  So when she goes into Review > Language > Set Proofing Language and chooses Spanish (Mexico) then presses the Spell check button, it reverts back to English and shows every Spanish word as incorrectly spelled.  You click on the bottom for the language, choose the Spanish (Mexico) and it correctly identifies the word and moves onto the next one, only to switch back to English again.  She has pages of translation to do, trying to correct it one word at a time will not work for her.  We've tried making the Spanish (Mexico) as her default and it still switches back to English every time.

Tried it on Windows 7/Windows 8.  Tried it on a computer that has only ever had Office 2013, same issue.  So it isn't related to the upgrade or the OS.

Is this just a bug issue or is there a fix?

thanks!

Microsoft word 2011 student edition is not printing microsoft word. All the other office (excel, power point, and outlook) print just fine. I need help. I have a MacBook Air. IT IS ONLY THE MICROSOFT WORD. I already did what support said of removing office 2011 and re-install it.

Word 2010 - VBA Code to Clear All Content Control Checkboxes

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 01:25 PM PDT

Hello,

I have been searching around quite a bit and still have not found a solution. I am looking for VBA code that will clear all Word 2010 Content Control checkboxes on a document. The document is saved as a .docm, and this is the solution that will work for us as a template will not. I already have the code to clear all of the Text Form Field areas, and I found code to clear Form Field checkboxes, but I just haven't had any luck finding code to clear Content Control checkboxes. The Content Control checkboxes are definitely what we are looking to use. 

Here is the code I found to reset Form Fields, but how can it be modified to instead clear all Content Control checkboxes?

P.S. In case it matters, there are a number of these checkboxes located within a table for design purposes.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Sub setcheck()

Dim f As FormField

For Each f In ActiveDocument.FormFields

If f.Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then

f.CheckBox.Value = True

Exit For

End If

Next f

End Sub

Radio buttons (option buttons) group

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 12:06 PM PDT

I have a form in which the users have to answer "yes", "No", or "N/A" to each question and I was wondering if there is a way to create a group so that I don't have to insert one button each time. They only need to pick one answer so I would prefer to have radio buttons over check boxes or dropdowns.

Thank you in advanced for the help.

Copy and paste problem with Word 2007

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 11:54 AM PDT

While working on a Word 2007 document, I had a very strange problem when I tried to copy and paste a word. The problem is I copied a word in the lower case and when I pasted it somewhere else on the document, it turned into "upper case" in bold. I tried to repair MS Office 2007 but it could not carry out the repair process, i.e. could not continue after starting the repair. My PC has Win 8.1.

Thank you for your help.

Stop Save Prompt Showing Up For Macros

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 08:03 AM PDT

Here's an overview of what I'm trying to do and what I've accomplished:

A client of ours has a letterhead macro that they need to change every once in a while. What I would like to do is have one version that I can change centrally and then share with everyone else. Clients are not technology oriented so automated is a must.

What I've done:

I created a blank document, applied the required macro to the document, saved it as a .DOTM (macro-enabled template) and popped it into the %appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP folder. When I open up Word, this automatically makes the macro available and everything works properly.

The Problem:

When I go to close word, it asks me if I want to save changes to the macro .DOTM. I need this pop-up to go away so that clients aren't confused by it (trust me, they will be).

Is there a way to change  a document from opening up in Final:Show Markup? I could not figure out how to open up in Final.

Word changes font to Wingdings

My version of word keeps changing certain characters into the Windings font for no obvious reason. Characters include - and '. I have tried copying and pasting the text into a new word file. This worked for a while but then the problem started again. Note that the word file is stored on Dropbox.

Word Merge and repeating records

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 05:07 AM PDT

I have an Excel file with 100 records. I would like to create address labels, using the Excel records, in a Word document.

I create the labels (Avery 5161) and connect the Excel file. Of course, I populate the document with the fields, so that the labels look like:

«Fname» «Lname»

«Street»

«CityStateZip»

The label to the right (second label, counting across) looks like:

«Next Record»«Fname» «Lname»

«Street»

«CityStateZip»

Each preceeding label is the same as the second. This takes up one page.

When I run the merge, though, the first page is correct; then I go to the second page. The first label on the second page is the same as the second label on the first page. The first label on the third page is the same as the second label on the second page, and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Full Page Images. MS standard advice doesn't work.

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Per MS's standard advice, to get Word (2007) to print a full-page image (on page 1; edge to edge; disabled headers & footers) a user must set the vertical and horizontal page options  to "Page" and set the "Different first page" option in Page Layout. Simple. But "simple" doesn't work. Other advice says to set the header and footer margins to zero; but that too doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. Even reinstalled my printer driver; but, despite Print Preview showing the full page image as it should be, the actual print comes out with the image starting at the header margin (or, oddly enough a bit below that, and running off the bottom of the page. It is also reduced horizontally. Adding oddity to oddity, it properly ignores the footer. Why then, can't it ignore the header?

WordPad has replaced Word 2013 as the default programme

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 02:01 AM PDT

I am not a computer newbie, but this is driving me bonkers.

I helped a friend update to Windows 8.1 and to install Office 365.

All successful until we tried to copy Word (.doc) files over.  The documents suddenly appeared as WordPad documents.

When I tried to reset the default program to Office Word 2013 the Word icon does not appear in the list.

I have tried using "Open with" and Set defaults in control panel

365 seems to have installed correctly as it is possible to open all the applications seperately.

I have read through loads of threads on this issue, but noone seems to answer why the Word icon does not appear in the list..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit an If statement in Word 2010 mail merge

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 12:20 AM PDT

I have an existing Word 10 mail merge document that contains a number of If statement embedded in table elements of a very small size. This makes it very difficult (impossible!) to see the full extent of the If statement and effectively edit it.

There are too many elements to make simple zooming or resizing practical.

Is there a method available that will enable me to see the full formula and edit it?

Thanks

Printing labels using Microsoft Wdord 2007

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 10:18 PM PDT

I love my Office Suite and it is very versatile, but I have tried printing labels and am having some difficulty.  I open word and go to mass mailing and click on on labels; then select Avery 5163.  I select my mailing list and set up the address block and the formatting and click on update labels and all I get is the top two labels and the bottom 2 labels but none of the in-between ones.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me.  Would really appreciate it.  Thanks.

Customising Templates

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 07:04 PM PDT

We have created a template in .docx. When multiple lines are entered the template works OK, however when one of the line items is at a certain length it causes the template to create extra space between that particular line item and the line item directly underneath. I'm assuming there is a simple solution, however I am unable to fix.

Pasting text from web into Word 2010 always produces numbered list

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 05:39 PM PDT

When I cut and past several paragraphs of formatted text from a web browser into a Word 2010 document, it always automatically formats it as a numbered list, unless I choose "Keep Text Only".  This happens even when the source text is not a numbered list.

I often don't want to "Keep Text Only," however -- when the source text has some words italicized, for example.

If I choose "Merge Formatting" or "Keep Source Formatting", then the I'm stuck with the numbers -- even though the original source text was not a numbered list.

I've tried changing every option I can think of (for example, in the Smart Formatting dialog, or in the other copy options), but to no avail.  Any idea why this is happening, or how to correct it?

Microsoft Office 2013 applications, not only word, always stop responding!

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 05:29 PM PDT

I recently got Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus, and everything went fine during the installation process. I tested everything and it was working fine, until I noticed that every single application - be it Powerpoint, Word, Outlook, Excel or whatnot, it always crashes within a short period of time after opening it. The error message is always the same - that is, "Microsoft (application name) has stopped working", and it gives the the options of either waiting, closing or restarting it. It has been making me lose small amounts of data every time it hangs and it is very hard to keep working like this. How can I fix this?

Edit: I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration and updating my video driver. It has not worked.

Windows/Office versions needed for Handwriting Input on Tablet

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 07:51 AM PDT

We are considering buying Surface Pro 3 tablets for our office. We have technicians collecting data (currently on paper), and our templates are in Excel, so we are looking to transition over to using the tablets for data entry. One of the things on our must-have list is to be able to use the stylus in Word and Excel (especially Excel) to handwrite in notes and have them converted to text. From what I have seen, Windows 8/8.1 with the newer versions of Office has a  "handwriting input" option as part of the onscreen keyboard. This handwriting input function - is this a part of the Windows OS or a part of Office? And which versions? There are so many versions of Windows between 8 and 8.1 and RT and many different versions of Office, I am worried we will end up with the wrong combo! I believe our IT department is going to load Windows 8.1 full (not RT) and Office 2010 on the tablets, and I am worried it won't have the handwriting input option in Word/Excel. If anyone can confirm this for me and let me know the configurations we would have to have to ensure we can use the handwriting input I would be so appreciative!!! Thanks!
