Microsoft Word - Functionality issues with Word document

Microsoft Word - Functionality issues with Word document

Functionality issues with Word document

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 02:25 PM PST

I have posted this document for viewing http://1drv.ms/1EHDAXz in effort to allow those assisting to see the existing structure.  Please note I did not create this document but am trying to improve functionality per request.

There are several things going on with this piece including a table with coding (I believe, not sure), a building block, and tables with text form fields including number formatting and formulas.

There is a code in ThisDocument that reads as follows:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox11_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox21_Click()

End Sub

I recently added the building block with two different company names and addresses.  Prior, the user would type them in manually and the document had restricted editing in place.  The restricted editing allowed the user to click any of the checkboxes in the document and mark that box; without restricted editing it requires the user to double click the checkmark boxes and select "checked."  This is not a change we want.

My issue is restricting the editing disables the option for the user to select the company name from the building block. 

I have tried replacing all text form fields with rich text content controls and that would work great, except that you cannot include formulas.

I also tried using continuous section breaks to protect specified sections of the document but that also disables the building block.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Christina

Changing the Open/Computer default from Libraries to C Drive

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 01:51 PM PST

Hi -

I'm using Word 2013 and Windows 7.  When you "open" a file and double click on the "computer," it defaults to the Libraries.  Is there a way to change the default to the C drive?

Thank you for your time.

Create table of contents without style formatting

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 12:57 PM PST

I am trying to create a table of contents without changing the formatting of the main document. The problem that I'm running into is that not all of the text I'm marking as level 1 has the same formatting, and the same for levels 2 through 5 so I end up with 12 styles for 5 levels of my table of contents. Is there a way to mark something as level 1-5 without the need for adjusting the formatting of it. If you are familiar with how to do it in Word Perfect X6 I am looking for something closer to that.

Is it really not possible to paste plain text in Word for iPad?

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 11:15 AM PST

The headline says it all - is it true that there is no way to paste from the clipboard in the Word for iPad app as "Plain text", i.e., *not* pasting the formatting?

Multiple Lines in a single field in a single record split into multiple cells in a table in Word using Mail Merge

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 10:53 AM PST

So I'm sure the title of my question is very...lengthy and possibly vague - sorry about that!

I have 'Field 1' coming in from Excel that has multiple lines/paragraphs within a cell.

I'm using this workbook as the source for my Mail Merge and with that merge, want to take these sorts of fields within one line items and have them separate out into individual cells.

So with the Mail Merge, I want to take Field 1 and splice the multiple paragraphs coming from this one line item in this one field, and splice it into multiple cells within a table of the word document.

I'm guessing a rule might work. I know that using a list works to separate out the paragraphs, but I need to do the same within a table...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

New Window in WORD via VBA

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:41 AM PST

This is an issue I am having with a WORD macro.

I am using a WORD document with a VBA macro to process a series of downloaded IBM MainFrame print-image reports into WORD documents.

I can do each one manually, and I can run the macro if I invoke it from within the document I want to apply the changese to.

What I am having a problem with is getting the VBA macro to acknowledge when I open another file (in this case a .txt file) that there is more than one file open, so that I can apply the changes to the newly opened file, not the file containing the macro.

This code opens the appropriate file, but the focus does not shift from the file running the macro.  I have tried putting in code to select both the window name/caption and the window number, but since VBA says that WORD only has 1 window open I get an error message that I am out of range or invalid name.

    FName = Dir(FDir & "\TextFiles\*.txt")
'
    Do Until FName = ""
'
        Debug.Print "Open Windows BEFORE file Open: " & Windows.Count
'
        Documents.Open FileName:=FDir & "TextFiles\" & FName, _
        ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
        PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
        WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatText, _
        XMLTransform:="", Encoding:=1252
'
        Debug.Print "Open Windows AFTER file Open: " & Windows.Count
'
        Windows(Windows.Count).Activate

.

.

Any ideas are appreciated, and if somebody sees what boneheaded thing I am doing to cause this PLEASE point it out!

Thanks!

Email merge using Word, Excel and Outlook

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:09 AM PST

I would like to use Word 2013 Mail Merge to compose and send email messages in HTML format. I would be sending approx. 400 emails.  I would be using Excel and Outlook.   I have gone through all of the steps as presented by Wizzard .  It appears all steps leading to sending emails are correct.  The last step, sending the email merge, doesn't work.  No emails are sent in the test.  I need help.  I've spent way to much time trying to figure it out.  Any thoughts?

Trouble inserting symbols

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:08 AM PST

After six months of problem-free work with Word 2013 I suddenly find I am unable to Insert symbols from the "More Symbols" option; when I click the box to Insert the symbol or to Cancel, nothing happens. Can a virus cause this? I've been having other problems with non-response from the computer today, even in trying to use my browser.

Word not opening docx files from Dropbox on iPad

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 02:56 AM PST

Hi,

i have Word on iPad and have linked it with my Dropbox so I can save files I create on my iPad to there and edit/view files in my Dropbox. However, when I try to open word files from my Dropbox (all .docx created on a windows laptop), it begins to download the file and then comes up with 2 error messages. 

The first one says: sorry, we can't open ."

and then the second says: a file error has occurred 

I seem to be able to open .doc files and files created on my iPad, but not .docx files from my laptop.

Thank you very much.

Cannot Activate on Word for iPhone

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 12:41 AM PST

This is perhaps the most annoying error I've encountered (pretty much mostly because of the fact it involves my money), and I can't even understand why I'm getting it, nor how I can fix it.

I decided it'd be a great idea to purchase an Office 365 subscription via iTunes. Once I bought it, it popped up with this error message:

"Sorry, your purchase was successful but we couldn't activate. To try again, please open an Office file, tap Activate > Buy Office 365 > Restore Previous Purchase."

I've scoured the Internet for solutions, but pretty much all of them seem to be performed on an iPad. I have an iPhone. They're two very different devices, and everything I've seen that supposedly works for the iPad isn't even doable (or just doesn't work) with the iPhone. The directions to try again don't even make sense: there is no activate button. I'm a bit infuriated; essentially, I'm being told "hey, you paid for it, but we're not going to honor your payment because of some weird programming error! 8D" The boxes aren't updated for the proper devices, this mystical activate button doesn't exist, I've done everything from reinstalling Word to resetting Word and logging out of everything, and nothing fixed it. The purchase did indeed go through (as Apple sent me a receipt), so you guys are causing the trouble.

I'm honestly a bit disappointed. Usually I find Microsoft products work fairly well (even if it's something not everyone likes, such as the Win 8 UI.) This time, it seems like you guys can't even properly process a payment, nor keep information correct or at least consistent among multiple devices. Please fix this issue. I'm beginning to regret my purchase.

Word 2013 Xml Mapping Pane questions

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 11:01 PM PST

Hello All,

I am using Xml Mapping Pane feature with Word 2013 to map custom xml to the word document. 

Questions: 

1. I do not see any option to edit existing elements in the mapped xml in the designer after mapping custom xml?

2. There is no option to delete added custom xml in the designer.

3. Also there is no option given to add new elements to the mapped custom xml.

I request to Microsoft developer team to look these obvious missing features. I have used Word Content Control Toolkit but that does not work/support Word 2013. 

Please take this forward to Microsoft, so we can see these missing features in upcoming release or patch. Do you have any suggestion or help?

Best Regards,

Vijay

Change of color of fonts, word spacing, paragraphing when a text is copied from Word 07 to a Website. WHY ?

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 09:22 PM PST

Respected Sir,

When i post text from word 07 into a website using copy paste. The font color and the style which i used to type, as in the paragraph separation is gone. From the website to word the color of text remains but from word to website the color, the paragraphing, the spacing, the alignment, everything just vanishes(from word to website) .

Must Configure MS office each time I open a WORD file.

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 08:33 PM PST

Whenever I try to open a WORD or EXCEL file a window opens and says that MS Office Professional 2007 is being configured.   This can take up to a 30 to 60 seconds!

I have tried to 'CHANGE'  and then 'REPAIR'  MSO Pro 2007 with no effect,

and then to 

'ADD & REMOVE FEATURES' with 'RUN ALL FROM MY COMPUTER' , for all its applications, also with no effect.

Applications like PUBLISHER and POWER POINT open instantly.

Where should I start trouble shooting this nuisance?

Moved from Windows 7 Programs Forum.

MS Office 2013 Word only displaying partial saved document

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 07:01 PM PST

I purchased the Surface Pro 3 and MS Office Student Edition for my wife prior to her starting college and she has been using it to write papers and search the web for class projects.  She has written several papers in Word, saved them to her My Documents but when she opens them only partial documents are displayed.  I asked her to open several different saved files and they are all only showing partially saved works.  When I asked how she saved them to the computer she said she "saved as" and then saved them in the appropriate class folder she had created.  When she clicks print preview the entire document is there but they are incomplete works so she needs them to open properly.

Can someone please advise what she can do to view the entire document?

Thank you, 

Scott

Tab leader

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 06:32 PM PST

Whenever I want to insert a tab leader for my tabs I would click twice on the tabs on the ruler and I would get the tab window to add the leaders but now when I click twice on the tab the tab window doesn't show up anymore now all I get is the page layout window.

please advise if there is a way to restore the two clicks on the tabs to show the tabs window.

regards.

Can't get rid of multiple blank paragraphs

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 03:53 PM PST

Split from this thread.

I have multiple blank paragraphs at the end of my document (see attached) that cannot be selected or edited. When you try to click on anything after 'Date' it takes the cursor back to the top of page 1. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!
