Emailing word documents connected by hyperlinks...

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 02:08 PM PST

Hi everyone,

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give me. I have created a pretty complex set of instructions, starting with an 'Overview' document that hyperlinks to about 8-9 other documents. I can put all these doc's in a file (compressed) and send it to whomever, but when it get's there, the hyperlinks are dead.

How can I email this entire file with all the hyperlinks intact?

Thank you!

Text box that will repeat in the same position on each page of a multipage document

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 01:37 PM PST

I am trying to create a text box that will repeat in the same position on each page of a multipage document. Basically I want to place my name and address on the lower left hand side of each page. The text box will be located outside of the margins of the page but in the printable area. I can not figure how to do it. If there is another way to do this other than a text box i would appreciate the help.

Rightclick Autocorrect in Word 2013

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 12:50 PM PST

OK, reality check.

If Microsoft is claiming that those of us who prefer previous versions of Office are dinosaurs, then how come their development team is going backwards to pre-historic errors and functionality with their latest (and by far the worst) version of Word - Word 2013?

One of the most beneficial and frequently used features of their previous Word versions was the right-click Autocorrect function, which many of us (if not all of us, if we think of the executive ranks), used multiple times per day.

now, we have two options - keep a running handwritten list of needed auto correct entries and hand to our secretary to enter at the end of the day - about a page or so per day - or, interrupt any valuable work to go through multiple irrational layers of menus to reach the box where entries can be made and retye all of them one by one...  as in the stone age.

What a perplexingly stupid thing to remove - is there anything we can do to bring this valuable feature back on our laptops?

Updated to WORD 2013 and lost half of tracked changes

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 12:30 PM PST

I was editing an 82-page document and tracking changes successfully.  While I was away with the document still up, the computer guys came in and updated my system and I'm now working with 2013.  Now the document only shows half of my changes!?  I spent over 10 hours on it! 

I'm going to assume I saved the document before I left, and that the computer guys would've done the same before shutting down.  Could there be any other explanation for not being able to see the changes?  Are there any tricks I can try?  A way to recover the document from it's last state?  Anything?!  I've got "All Markups" selected and don't even see those changes in the left "Revisions" pane.

Thanks,

 

Word 2013 replaced Word 2010 on my computer

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 11:27 AM PST

Split from this thread.

This morning, Microsoft installed WORD 2013 into my computer. In doing so, they also uninstalled

WORD 2010 which was in the computer. Now I cannot access either my documents or e-mail attachments. When I try, a box appears saying:"Click-2-Run Virtualization Handler". How can I correct this so that I can again access my documents and e-mail attachments? Thanks for your help.

Microsoft Directory Merge issues

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 11:17 AM PST

Doing a directory merge using a table I created in Word.   Three columns across (landscape)  several sections down.  I am bringing this in from a existing document in Excel. (columns are the different program passwords and rows are each student.

When I enter the criteria the first one comes out perfect, but it post the same information in the next two columns instead of moving to row 2 for column 2 and so on.   I am enclosing a copy of the document I am working with as a sample.  I am hoping there is a solution that I am just not seeing or able to locate .  Thanks, Jodi

This is what I am entering and this is what I am getting after the merge:

Same student all across, when I would like it to pull from the next row(2,3,4 etc... in excel)?  Can anyone help Please!

Word can't open template

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 11:09 AM PST

Split from this thread.

Hello,

I have been working on a Word document generated from a template (ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/word/splnproc1110.zip) for a few months, and I keep both the document and its template on OneDrive. For about a week now, when I try to open the document, Word gets stuck at the splash screen trying to open the template, and I have to force-close it. Opening the file in the Safe Mode works, but I don't get the toolbars that the template provides. I appreciate any help with this.

Thank you!

Why is Word ignoring Read-Only file attribute?

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 11:07 AM PST

I can use Windows File Explorer to enable "Read Only" on a Word document stored on my OneDrive, then open the document in Word, change it and save it.  The original read-only file has now been modified.  What I'm I missing here?

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Word 2010, "paste destination" button/option missing, undable to apply style gallery and have it work

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 10:08 AM PST

Hello, can someone PLEASE tell  me how to "paste with "DESTINATION" formatting" in word 2010.  The only options are "keep source, merge formatting, and "keep text only."  I have searched all over the internet and this site and I cannot find any help.  I send documents from person to person and they come back to me all goobed up!!  With office 2007, I never had a problem as I was able to apply my own style gallery to fix the formatting, however... with 2010, this is "gone," and I am at a TOTAL loss of how to copy/paste with "destination" formatting.  
I have seen instructions for "macros," but I am not familiar with macros at all, so those directions have been "totally useless!"  I AM SOOOO FRUSTRATED THAT MS OFFICE WOULD 'REMOVE' THE DESTINATION FORMATTING OPTION,' for what reason I have nooo idea.  
I hope someone can help me and if possible (provide screen shots).  I am NOT a programmer, so I do not understand macros, and/or changing something like my "add in.com settings"
I simply want to "copy/paste" with "destination formatting" AND.... be able to set a particular style gallery and then "apply it to a document."  Again... this is NOT working properly in word 2010.  
PLEASE... CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
Thank You in advance.

Word Macro Opens Multiple Instances

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 09:30 AM PST

I was expecting worse given that I've been dragging some of these macros around since 95 :)

My macro opens a different instance of Word whenever it hits this:

WordBasic.FileOpen Name:="c:\windows\winword\merge\" + FilName$, ReadOnly:=0, PasswordDoc:="", PasswordDot:=""

FirstWin$ = WordBasic.[WindowName$]()      'get the title of the current window

I want to stay within a single instance of Word. How is that done?

TIA for any help.

I'm trying to open Microsoft Word and I'm getting the following error message:

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.

Word document not printing

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 07:04 AM PST

A word 2010 document will not print, other documents print with no issue. What makes the document different is it has an email address in the footer.

I open up the document go to File > Print - a small window opens displaying Microsoft Word in the title bar, Sender's email with the email address in the window. You have the option to select OK or Cancel, but the cursors is displaying the busy orb.

If necessary I can post the document.

Convert document properties to text?

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 05:50 AM PST

Is it possible to convert document property values to plain text?  I need to create a macro to select all doc properties in the document & convert them to plain text and can't figure out a way to do that (it doesn't convert when I treat it like a field & use Alt-A (to select all) followed by Ctrl-Shift-F9 (to convert field to text). 

Thank you for you help!

MS Office items pinned to taskbar icons don't work?

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 03:44 AM PST

I can pin files to the Word and Excel icons on the taskbar, but when I right-click on either of the icons and then click on a pinned file, the spinning circle appears for a few seconds, and then nothing else happens.  It is the same for "Recent" files that appear when the icons are right-clicked.  Other taskbar icons, like File Explorer and IE seem to work ok. 

Unable to Insert a Chart into Word/Powerpoint

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 03:30 AM PST

I was trying to insert a chart in Word and when I select the chart type and click OK it just asks me to select the chart type over an over.  I also tested it in Power Point with the same result.  I get no error messages of any kind, it just places me in a loop unless I cancel out.

I tried to repair the installation, and when that didn't work, I uninstalled and re-installed Office.  I'm at a loss of what else I might be able to try and fix this or work around it.

Exit custom bullet list style problem

Posted: 17 Nov 2014 02:30 AM PST

Hello everyone,

I have created a custom bullet list style for a company wide used normal.dotm which uses different indentions and colors than the standard in word.
Basically I designed a style like described here: http://shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets20072010.html
(actually I changed the "List Bullet Styles" and added the first level to the Quick Style Gallery)

Everything works fine so far beside for one problem:

The standard bullet list of word can be easily exited with pressing return twice or deleting the last bullet point. If doing so Word automatically changes the style of the next line to "Normal" style and begins a new paragraph.

With our own bullet style this does not happen. When pressing return twice, while being in the list, Word at first look seems to behave the same: it removes the bullet list and set the cursor to the beginning of the new line. BUT it does not change the style of the new line to Standard but instead keeps the List Bullet Style active. This happens for every new line and paragraph. The custom style stays active but is just not painting the bullet points any more.

Of course its possible to change the style in the new line manually to "Normal" again. Our fear is though that most users will just not do this and not even be aware of the problem.

So the question is: Is there any way (VBA included) to make Word behave like with its own bullet points, even we use our custom designed style?

Thank you very much in advance already!
Thomas

PS: just for completeness: I have also used VBA to handle the FormatBulletDefault event when the bullet point button is pressed, but this seems not to affect the previous described problem.

corrupted new document template

I'm using Word 2010.  When I open a blank document, there are no top or bottom margins.  I am unable to click and drag the margins on the ruler and when I open the page layout dialogue box it shows that the margins are the normal default.  How do I fix this?

Calibri has Serifs

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 10:07 PM PST

Hello,

I recently installed Office 365 on my computer, and it has come to my attention that the Calibri font is not showing up as it should. The Calibri that shows up on my computer has serifs, and is most likely using a different font in place of the actual Calibri font. 

Does this mean that Calibri somehow didn't install properly? The proper font shows up on other Office products on my computer, as well as Word 2013 on my laptop.

Running Office 2013 under application verifier

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 08:54 PM PST

As a security measure, I run many programs under Application Verifier. As exploits, by definition, rely on bugs, my intention is that Application Verifier will force the program to crash long before successful RCE begins.

However, if I try to run any part of Office 2013 ( e.g. Word ), Word will crash long before the UI even initializes. 

Is/was Office tested under Application Verifier?

How might I use it as such?

Yes, I expect crashes. I happily file bug reports whenever I can.

Puzzling development

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 07:30 PM PST

I had to remove several programs to make room on my hard drive, which was maxed out.  (The only one I remember is Scribus.)  After I did this, I found that about half of my Word documents were gone, and the other half now have a Wordpad icon next to the file titles instead of the Word icon.  Also, the Word desktop icon disappeared.  I didn't realize there was any connection between Word and Scribus.  If I had known, I wouldn't have deleted it.  Or was one of the other programs I deleted responsible for what happened?  Most important, is there any way I can recover my missing files?

Thank you.

Word 2013 splits words when wrapping text

Words in bulleted text are being split (e.g., the word "stones" in the following sentence):





I haven't noticed this problem in ordinary paragraphs.

This doesn't quite fit any other issues I've seen posted.

Word Starter

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 05:42 PM PST

My files have recently stated that there are problems with the content.  This has continued to impact files but not all.  When opening the help it state the file is corrupt and cannot open.  When I check the yes button to recover the response is there are problems with the contents.  I have tried to go back about four days and reset the computer but that has no impact.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  There are a number of files that wouldn't open.  I had also saved everything on a portable hard drive but that information is also not working.

Thank you for any and all help. 

Multilevel list in Outline view

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 05:12 PM PST

Split from this thread.

Hello dear Suzanne and others!

I'd like to ask a slightly different question. I am on word 2013. I made a bullet list using the bullet list icon. 

In my bullet list, I sometimes wanted to make subentries, so I simply pressed the TAB key to indent one further.

Now I have a magnificient 5 pages list (yesyes) and can't sort it alphabetically as I intended to, because the pseudo "2nd level" indents are also sorted independently of the pseudo "1st level" bullets I had made. When I go into "Outline view" and click 1st level, 2nd level or whatever level, my page just becomes blank. I guess that no levels have been defined at all. 

You understand right, that I haven't created no numbered list style before working on this. 

I only used the bullets icon (once) and the TAB key to move between my (at least visual) levels.

Any help would be really welcome as to how to solve this problem without having to redefine everything manually (which I also didn't really understand how to do, as the fake "2nd level" bullets already are recognized as smth different when I test the option "Change list level"...)

Really really thanks for help!

How can I delete offline printers?

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 04:15 PM PST

When printing a Word 2010 document using File>Print, the default printer's name is shown with a drop-down list of other printers recognized by the computer.  Many of these no longer exist, having been replaced by newer printers, but their names remain, labeled Offline.  I've accumulated 7 such phantom printers and can find no way to remove mention of them.  Any ideas on how to remove them from the list?
