Compatibility for Content Controls in Word forms

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 02:17 PM PST

I've created a form in Word 2013 using only content controls. I grouped the tick boxes by category. Protection is turned on for filling in forms. I have no problem completing the form. When I send it to my friend to test in Word 2007 on Windows 7, she can edit the text boxes and tab from field to field with no problem. Yet she cannot tick the check boxes. I tried using legacy tick boxes (boxes grouped and form protected) with no luck. Do I have to convert all fields to legacy fields for backwards compatibility? Should I have done Select All before grouping? Thanks for your help.

Problem with Microsoft wanting me to accept licence & confirm document settings every time I open Word 10

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 01:38 PM PST

I run Windows 7 & and have Microsoft Office 10. No changes over long period & I am not a heavy PC user. Over last few months every time I go to desktop & open Word to prepare a document or anything in Word up comes a Microsoft box asking me to accept licence agreement and then to confirm settings for documents. Until I do this I can not move to any task. I have today checked that Outlook is up to date and also went on to Microsoft site which told me that all updates for Word 10 were current. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this - I have a computer age of about 4 so keep it simple please! Thanks - this is the first time I have gone on to a forum.

MHT File Generation in Word 2010 Max Columns?

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 01:17 PM PST

Hello,

I am converting a Word file to .mht format (using "Save As"). Although the file displays correctly in the browser, I am concerned about the seemingly 77 max column limit when viewed in a text editor such as Notepad++. If any words are broken by this limit, the 77th character is replaced with '='. Is there a way to remove the max column limit or for the converted file not to use these pesky '='? Thanks!

2010?

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 11:12 AM PST


I have 2010 (complete office) in my old computer. I got a new computer just a week or so after moving into my new place. The problem is I love 2010 and do not have the disc to download into my new computer. Do I have to purchase again?My old computer was windows 7, and this one 8.1.

right clicked hypertext to copy and all text below disappeared

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 10:58 AM PST

I was working in MS Word 2013 / Office 365 for hours, all fine. Then I right clicked on a line of hypertext in a document in order to copy the link for pasting elsewhere.

When I clicked on the link, ALL of the text below it disappeared. More out of curiosity and desire to fix the issue, I highlighted where the text had been and clicked on black in font colors - it worked to restore the text.

The link was just a page link on my website, so it wasn't from an unknown source.

However, I tried it again - same issue. Closed all Word docs, waited a bit and opened only that document again - tried to copy hypertext and same thing happened. I closed all programs, went to folder and since it was basically a "throw-away" doc, I deleted it.

But - why did it happen? Will it happen again?? Anyone else have this issue?

Something went wrong downloading your template - Office 2013 SP1

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 10:45 AM PST

Good evening,

I am trying to use a template in Microsoft Office 2013.  I'm predominantly talking about Microsoft Word but I have tried all other Office applications and am getting the exact same issue.  I notice that others have previously indicated similar problems but there has been no fix.  THings I have tried:

  • Completely uninstalling Office and reinstalling.  I used the Microsoft FixIt to ensure full removal of office.
  • Uninstalling Visio Viewer - seemed to work for a few others.

Nothing seems to be working and this is extremely frustrating.

I'm running Office 2013 Professional Plus x64 on Windows 8.1 x64.  Any ideas what's happening?

Please don't tell me to download the template from the Office website - I shouldn't have to do that as the software should work properly.

Warning about printing pages with page borders in WORD 2013

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 04:37 AM PST

I just finished a flyer and printed it out single side. 

It printed out fine.

I then printed it out two sides and the top and bottom borders were cut off. Additionally the page numbering was partly missing.

So WORD 2013 has printing problems. 

I doubt there is a fix. 

I am going to print out pages and then feed them in and printout the back side. That will work for two-page flyers. 

This wasn't a problem in WORD 2007. 

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8100, but this is a Microsoft problem. 

I am putting this in Discussions since I don't think there is an answer. Usually when you post a question you get incompetent answers. I haven't gotten one useful answer yet.

Prior changes to Microsoft Office have been somewhat useful, but I wasn't planning on them wrecking their software. I really will need to consider alternatives. 

problems when writing a document

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 04:30 AM PST

Hi,  I have experienced this problem before but have never found out what causes it.   When I have typed several lines I some times find the start of one of  lines

is jutting more to the left than the others.   I then place the curser at the start of this line and use the space bar to attempt to move the line to the right so that it lines up with rest of the text,   but instead of moving the line of text,  it deletes the first letter in the line and so on.   If I then retype the letter that has been deleted then next letter is deleted and so on.   I would like to find out what I have done to cause this and also what to do to correct it.  Thank you. Derek

DCOM error, I think this goes with Word 2007

Posted: 15 Nov 2014 06:34 AM PST

I've been receiving an error message with Word 2007 for a long time.

If I click on a document in a folder I receive this error message, then Word will open & I need to find my file that way rather than just clicking on it in my documents.

I think the DCOM error goes with that maybe?

I'd hate to uninstall  and reinstall  being its an older ver of Word,  I remember asking about it here when I needed help years ago to install it from a disk.
