Microsoft Word - Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Microsoft Word - Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 02:57 PM PST

Split from this thread.

Select your text and go to "Home" tab and make sure you are in the "Normal" style. Go to the Page Layout tab and click the "Show the Paragraph Dialog Box" button (located under Before and After Spacing) and set Line Spacing as you want it, i.e., single, double, etc.    

How come this option doesn't seem to work well with indentations?  Is there a way to make it work with indentations that you know of?

trying to create a macro to save a template

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 02:11 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm using Office 2013.  I have created a macro that I've placed on my QAT which opens a template of our company letterhead.  When I open this template from that macro, then insert a file into it, then go to save, my save as dialog reverts to the template folder from which I've pulled the template.  I was wondering if there is a way to modify my macro so that after I've inserted another file, I can hit save as and my dialog box will open to the folder from which I've inserted the file.  This is the current macro. The I:\Crystal Lake is our root directory.

 ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
        "C:\Users\270pjy\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\"
    Documents.Open FileName:="normwlogo.doc", ConfirmConversions:=False, _
        ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", _
        PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", _
        WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, XMLTransform:=""
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "I:\Crystal Lake\"

can I simply use something along these lines?

myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.doc")

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Optima font issue

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 01:28 PM PST

Our small newspaper is equipped with four identical PC compatible stations, with Adobe InDesign for page layout. Identical fonts are used on all four - or so we thought. All of a sudden one of the four stations, according to its user, says that Optima (truetype) no longer functions correctly. Our IT department has worked in an effort to try and fix it. Any ideas, suggestions, clues? 

Content control boxes and formatting

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 11:58 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I have a template/form where I'm using content control so that the responses can be spell-checked. Unfortunately I'm having some difficulty with the logistics! (it would be nice if Microsoft was able to figure out the spell-check issue with regular forms... if they have, please let me know! those are easier to use!!)

Basically the form I've created has questions (which are locked) and then responses (content control). Users would like to be able to change the colour of certain sections of their responses but when I tried, it changes all of the paragraph. I've tried setting it to character only but it doesn't work for me. Maybe I've done the process wrong?

Example:

1. What concern's you the most about Sam?

Mom - Sam likes to play in traffic

Sam - Not true!

The writer would like to highlight/change the font colour of Sam's answer, but when they try, the whole response (mom's answer) changes colour as well.

Is there a way around this?

Sincerely,

Lea

Discrepancies in word count between status bar and pop up window

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 11:22 AM PST

Recently switched to office 365 personal. I noticed that the word count in the status bar doesn't match the word count in the pop up window that comes up when you click on the status bar. It's crucial for my work to know the correct word count. Which is the correct one? How do I fix the discrepancy? (BTW - this is not an issue of having the count include text boxes and notes, the discrepancy is there with both options)

Editing Multiple Building Blocks

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 10:09 AM PST

I need to edit 36 Building Blocks in Word 2013. Is there a way that I can change the text 2014 to 2015 in multiple Building Blocks without having to insert each one, change it and then Save it back to their Building Blocks locations'? I am hoping to find a way to be able to just change the Code in the Building Block.dotx but am unable to find any reference to being able to do this. Thank you.

My Word won't reply the second I open it

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 09:40 AM PST

I downloaded the new Office pack a few weeks ago and for some reason some of the programs work perfectly fine, while others do not. Both my Word and Excel shut down immediately after I open them. All the other programs (OneNote, PP, etc) work perfectly fine. I've tried the "repair" options already and they did not work. What to do??

I've created a form with several option button groups. During editing I've accidentally selected an option button, but I can't deselect it, even when I protect/unprotect the form.

Anybody have an answer? BTW I have no clue on how to use codes, so if your answer is a code, please explain me how to use codes.

How do I remove a blank page in MS Word 2010?

I would be grateful for nay help with this. 

Conditional Document Properties with bullet Points

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 07:39 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I've got a little problem in Word, which is driving me nuts.

Already searched in the web, but could not find anything that matches my situation:

I have a word document with a bunch of document properties. Those properties are connected to fields within a SharePoint Document library.

There are about a dozen fields, which are optional: so they may or may not contain any content.

Now I want to include those fields into my document with two requirements: 

  1. The properties should be listed among each other with enumeration style
  2. Because the properties are optional, they should be shown if and only if they are not empty

I'll call those fields Textblock1, Textblock2,...

So what I tried so far is the following:

{IF "[Textblock1]" <> "[Textblock1]" "[Textblock1]" ""}{IF "[Textblock2]" <> "[Textblock2]" "
[Textblock2]" ""}{IF "[Textblock3]" <> "[Textblock3]" "
[Textblock3]" ""}{IF "[Textblock4]" <> "[Textblock4]" "
[Textblock4]" ""}

Where the newlines (CR+LF) are indeed included in my contentcontrols!

(Just for understanding: The If statement compares the documentproperty-control with a string value, named as the documentproperty, to verify whether or not the property is empty. I marked every control Bold and every String Italic)

This works fine so far, BUT I dont get any paragraph styles (including enmueration) applied to my content controls.

I'm quite sure, this is because of the newline inside the formulas.

So my question is: Has anyone an idea to get this working or a diffrent approach to reach the goal?

Kind regards

Michael

Help content for Word and Excel 2007 no longer helpful

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:55 AM PST

In the past week I have had to use Help in both Word and Excel.  The results are no longer related to my question.  The content no longer has links to sites who actually know answers and most often I'm just getting very generic articles that have nothing to do with my question.  I have two computers both with Office 2007 and running with two versions of Windows - Vista and Windows 7.  Example:  I submitted in Word - troubleshoot paste special not working.  The results I got were 'A visual introduction to the 2007 Office release' and Submission guidelines for Microsoft Office Word 2007 templates.  The first link provided me with an 'ad' for a book.  What has happened to Help?

Issue with content control

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:45 AM PST

When I type into my content control box and hit return my formatting changes.  I don't want the format to change.  Can you help?

This is what I'm doing presently:  I'm creating a standard form template using content control.  I insert a "rich text content control."  I set the Properties:  Show as Bounding Box; Use a style to format text typed into the empty control; New Style.  For my "New Style" I choose a Name, Style type (Linked (Paragraph and Character)); Style based on Paragraph Normal.  I choose my formatting Arial/10/single space and check New documents based on this template.  I "ok" it and then save.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Word 2013 won´t keep certain display settings

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:37 AM PST

Hi,


Word 2013: File->Settings->Advanded->Display. The following three settings are randomly and without any obvious reason reverted to their default values:

- Show this number of Recent Documents

- Quickly access this number of Recent Documents

- Show this number of unpinned Recent Folders

Furthermore, and at least as annoying, also the size and placement of the "Open" window ("dialogue box"?) reverts to default dimensions.

I can live with all these problems, but I would appreciate if somebody has a solution so that Word will kindly behave as it is supposed to.

Kind regards,

WBrisk

Saving the document

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 09:36 PM PST

Usually my 1200-page document saves in about one minute. Every once in a while it  takes 15 minutes or more.

I always save it to a solid-state hard drive that's nearly empty.

This can happen whether or not I'm saving a new version under a different name.

Any ideas?

Capture page header lines individually to VBA variables

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 04:42 PM PST

Hi, I have page headers containing three lines.

I want to save the first two lines to separate variables.

I found some sample code that will display the whole header, however, I cannot see how I can achieve the objective based on this.

Sub GetHeader()
'
'Display content of header sections
'
With ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
 If .Range.Text <> vbCr Then
 MsgBox .Range.Text
 Else
 MsgBox "Header is empty"
 End If
End With
End Sub

I am rather new to both WORD and VBA, and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

Scrolling very choppy in Word 2013 (windows 8.1) in draft view.

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 03:43 PM PST

In Word, when I scroll up, pause, and then scroll down,it will keep scrolling up a few lines before it catches and scrolls down. It's very annoying, and it does it the opposite direction too. I noticed it does this only in draft view. In the page view, the scrolling seems a lot smoother. I've tried two different mice, and I've tried deselecting "animate controls and elements inside windows" , and still the same problem. I can switch the mouse back to my old laptop (Word 2010, Windows Vista) and the scrolling works just fine. So I'm pretty sure it's not the mouse. Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix it?

I'm also curious if others have noticed an issue.

Form Fields reset when printing.

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 03:40 PM PST

I created a form where the user can complete various form fields (legacy) and they each "calculate on exit" to allow the additional form fields in the form to update according to the data entered and create the desired result:

  • The date is calculated on each page once or twice to become a future date
  • The names and addresses are "ref" copied on every other page
  • and a table is created at the end documenting the specific dates

Everything works as desired until I go to print it.  whether I use the "quick print" feature or the Ctrl+P dialog, what prints is the wrong date on every page except the first two.  

The situation is quite frustrating.

Word2013 crash

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:50 AM PST

Hello Everyone,

I have subscribed to the Office365 - and downloaded it on my New Lenovo Yoga2 160GB-Solid state Hard Drive - Windows 8.1.

I am unable to use the Word application - as it crashes if I use the backspace key or if I hit the right click button, or try to edit the document that requires too much clicking.

Please help me - as this problem is causing the word application to keep restarting or just close down.

I am able to recover my documents in the recover mode but unable to complete my work.

Thank you for your assistance.

regards

Aparna Pipersenia
