Microsoft Word - Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty

Microsoft Word - Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty

Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 01:36 PM PST

I am using Word 2013, part of office 365. I have been attempting to create several custom labels. The problem arises when a field is empty and on a line by itself. When I attempt to print the document, a blank line is printed where the field was positioned.


I want Word to ignore blank filed and NOT insert a blank line. I have found several conflicting suggesting for older versions of Word, but none for the 2013 version. I would have thought that Word would have a built in function to accomplish that, but evidently not.

I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

problem with word 2013

Hi, I've just installed Office 2013 all work except word. When I start it up all is OK until I go to a blank page then Word comes up with "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and shuts down. This also happens when I try to open up old word documents, up the top of these documents it is in compatibility mode.

Auto-numbering on Word 2013 acting very strangely

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 05:33 AM PST

Auto-numbering on Word 2013 is behaving very oddly. If I type in 4., 7., or 9., it works fine - it indents a little bit and makes it into an automatic list, that's fine. But if 1. is typed in, it indents in before the 1. as with 4. or 7. or 9. but then adds a massive indent after the 1. that I can't get rid of. 2. comes up bold and not indented. 3. and 5. bizarrely turn into a 4., 6. and 8. turn into 7., 10. turns into 9. and 11. turns into 10. After 11, it won't do automatic numbering at all. 

I've explained this as best I can but it is a very confusing, odd problem! I have no idea why it's suddenly decided to do this, I've had problems with auto-numbering previously with this version of Word but nothing as puzzling or bizarre as this. Hopefully someone can help me sort this - thanks.

Lock a section of a word document without locking all headers & Footers

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 04:39 AM PST

Hi,

I am in the process of creating documents (using Word 2013) where there is a section of text that I am trying to lock from editing.

So far i have put the text i want locking into a separate section using continuous section breaks. 

I have then locked the selected that section using the review ribbon. 

All has worked fine except for the fact that every time I lock the one section, it is also locking all of the headers and footers throughout the document. 

I have an un-linked header on the first page (option selected to be a different header to rest of the document), which I require to edit each time. 

Is there any way to lock the section I wish without locking all of the headers and footers? 

 

I'm sure it is just an option i am missing somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Thanks

Erratic scrolling on Word 365

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 12:28 AM PST

In some of my documents, I am unable to scroll down without the programme 'taking over', and scrolling immediately through the document and onto a grey blank canvas.

I am then unable to scroll up without it forcing the screen back down to the grey 'page' (i.e. no editable work page). I can only return up by pressing CTRL Home, and the same happens as I try to scroll down.

This has happened on many, but not all, formatted documents.

I have had to resolve it by copying text from the document and replacing it in a new doc.

I use three different Mouses in different locations, so it isn't that (also, scrolling to an uneditable screen would point to this).

Please can you assist!
