Microsoft Word - Line Numbering in footnotes

Microsoft Word - Line Numbering in footnotes

Line Numbering in footnotes

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 02:55 PM PST

I am working on a document that HAS to have line numbering.  I need the line numbering to continue within my footnotes.  Everything that I have found says that Word just doesn't line number in footnotes.  I can do it in WordPerfect so I know there has to be some way, whether macro or whatever that will do this for me.  I am using Word 2007 but have access to Word 2010 if needed.  Anyone?

Word 2013 highlighting English/Australian spellings (e.g. ~ise) as incorrectly spelt

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 01:34 PM PST

Hi,

My language is set to English <Australia> but word 2013 is highlighting words like, 'colonise', 'apologise'  as incorrectly spelt and offering 'colonize', 'apologize' as a correct alternatives.

For the record, the Macquarie dictionary and Australian Government writing guides state that colonise, apologise and so on, are the correct spellings.

How do I get Word 2013 to work properly.

I have noticed this question has been asked a few times by other people and little solutions offered, mainly because the "MVP" who attends (Doug Robbins) seems more concerned with hijacking the discussion with convoluted advice and ridiculous assertions (that ~ize is the correct spelling).

So please Doug Robbins "MVP", stay away; I am not interested in what you have to say about the English language.

Can someone who knows what they are talking about please address this question?

Cheers,

Office 2013 Word & Excel Crashing (Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit)

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 11:48 AM PST

Hi all,

Both Excel and Word are crashing repeatedly on multiple Dell desktops running the 32 bit version of Windows 7 Professional. The freezing/crashing occurs when scrolling, printing, saving, opening and more. We have an HP LaserJet P2015dn with the PCL6 driver. Crashing still occurs in Safe Mode in both programs.

I have tried the following solutions and they did not work: 

1. Word data registry subkey edit

2. Repair Word

3. Uninstall and Reinstall Word 

4. There were no add-ins of any kind to disable

5. Not an NVIDIA driver issue

6. Anti-virus (Kaspersky 6.0) is up to date and not interfering

7. Excel and Word are not being used by another process

8. Files are not generated by a third party

Any ideas?

References displayed incorrectly

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 09:50 AM PST

When trying to cite a source in a document instead of the normal: " (Author, date, page) displayed according to APA standards. I get this:

"{ CITATION RAN01\I 1033}"

This along with my header/footer and bibliography being displayed completely incorrect is frustrating to say the least.

I've been taking classes for almost a year and utilizing Word 2013 on a daily basis to write and cite papers. Literally overnight it went from working fine to displaying every paper I've ever written with this text in place of my citations/header/bibliography.

I do not dig into my settings on word at all and have experience with computers as I've been building them since I was twelve. I assumed there was a setting option I could find but it has eluded me.

Anyone that is able to help would be greatly appreciated.

Why, oh why does microsoft drive me nuts?

Out, damned spot - blue dots appearing in Visio flowchart embedded in Word doc

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:33 AM PST

I have a Word 2010 document with a flowchart embedded in it. The flowchart was created in Visio. I embedded it into the Word doc by dragging and dropping the Visio .vsdx file from its containing folder onto the page of the Word document (I've never embedded a different file type within a Word doc before and wasn't sure how to do it, so I just tried it this way for lack of any better ideas!). Seemed to look OK on the screen. But when I print the page of the Word document, the printout has blue dots around the flowchart boxes and the text in the flowchart boxes.

What's happening?

How do I get rid of these dots or spots?

Like Lady MacBeth, I just want rid of these damned spots!

How do I get rid of this monkey business?

Just typing in Word and suddenly this goofy stuff started happening…………..dots between words and this little dingus.

How do I make this squirrely mess go away?

What formats are editable?

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:00 AM PST

Have Word 2010 with a document that is not allowing edit.(Even after removing the protect and read-only attributes). Compatibility mode.

Wanted to save in another format, then reopen.

In the save/dropdown, there are a dozen choices.

Which one to use?

Thanks!

Word IF Statement - IF {MERGEFIELD} = "Content" & "Content2" Then show result

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 03:36 AM PST

Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to set two variables in the IF statement, I currently have the following

{IF {MERGEFIELD LMCLCNReference} = "PF*" "" ""}{IF {MERGEFIELD LMCLCNReference} <> "PF*" " VAT Reg. No: " ""}{IF {MERGEFIELD LMCLCategory1} = "ABC" "0123456789" ""}{IF {MERGEFIELD LMCLCategory1} = "****" "9876543210" ""}

Now this correctly only shows the VAT Reg. No. if the LMCLCNReference doesnt start with PF, however it still shows the LMCLCategory1.

I was hoping to alter {IF {MERGEFIELD LMCLCategory1} = "ABC" "0123456789" ""} so that it basically says if ABC and LMCLCNReference <> "PF*" then show "0123456789"

Hope that makes sense, can't seem to find anywhere to include two variables before showing the outcome.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Cheers

Word won't open

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 02:29 AM PST

Hi

I have downloaded Microsoft Office Home and Student. Powerpoint and Excel opens ok but not Word. I get a dialogue box stating that Word has run into an error which has prevented it from opening properly and needs to be closed as a result. I have a new computer running Windows 8.1. I am quite computer illiterate so straightforward easy to follow instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Document sending me on a save loop, change the title and it saves successfully

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 09:14 PM PST

Hi All,

I just came across something that stuck out as really bizarre. 

While working on a document (titled for example: Work document) one of my managers wasn't able to save it at all, the save and save as functions appeared to not work one bit. I copied all of the information in to a new document and saved that titled as Work document2, once this second copy was established i deleted the first document and removed the 2 from the title of the copy.

Suddenly the document was unsavable again. Just to test it i put the 2 back in to the title as it was originally saved and it worked perfectly fine, does anybody know what could be causing this? It is the first time i have ever seen it and the other documents i've been working on at the same time were all fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Insert handwritten signature into Word document

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 05:59 PM PST

I wrote my signature on a piece of paper. I used my HP All in One to scan it into Adobe Acrobat and then saved that as a .jpg file.

I then inserted that into a Word document but it takes up too much space and if I shrink the box around the signature, it also shrinks the signature.

Is there something else I can try? Maybe save the file as another file type?

I'd like to have my signature take up only the amount of space that a line of typed text would.

I've used the "scribble" option on the "shapes" button but it's kind of messy looking.

Any ideas?

Columns in Word 2010

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 05:19 PM PST

A dumb question but I am entering text in three columns in my document, the information in each column is a different category and needs to be separate. Currently typing in one flows to the next when the column is full. How do I keep them as separate? thanks 

Is a Word document saved to your computer or to the cloud when you save it in Office 365?

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 04:31 PM PST

I recently purchased a new laptop.  You can only get Windows 8 now.  The computer guy at Best Buy sold me a copy of Word 365,  Now I am hearing from the tech guy at our work that I could still load Office 2010 on a Windows 8 machine.  He has done that himslef.  He said he stayed away from 365 because so much of it is cloud based.  I want immediate access to my files on my computer.  I do not want to have to be logged into the internet in order to use Word 365 and access old files.  How does Office 365 Word work?  I am having a hard time finding any info on a Microsoft site.

Where is the Office button?

Split from this thread.

Where is the Office button to click? I didn't see on any of the Word tabs.

Outline View: Degraded manipulation of heading hierarchy in *.docx vs. *.doc

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 03:37 PM PST

If the file is saved as *.doc, I can highlight entire swaths of heading paragraphs of various levels and use Tab or Shift-Tab to promote/demote the outline leve.  If I save as *.docx, all of this capability disappears.  In other words, manipulation of sub-trees in the hierarchy is a sinch in *.doc, but almost non-existent in *.docx.  Am I missing something?  Hopefully, we're not regressing in terms of capability.
