Microsoft Word 2013 Ribbon enlargement help!

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 02:54 PM PST

So when i start up my microsoft words, the ribbon (top toolbar with all the fonts and bullet icons) is enlarged. This never happened before but it continues to happen. When i click on the setting to show just my toolbar and then click on a tab and when the ribbon shows it is the normal size but then when I show the toolbar and ribbon, it reverts back to its enlarged self. How do I revert back to the default ribbon size? I have checked my screen resolution and its the same as before.

Microsoft Office Starter 2010

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 02:34 PM PST

It seems like every time I start a new document it automatically has two spaces between the lines of the text. I prefer just one single line between the text.

I have used the line and paragraph spacing option that are on my PC but for some reasons, when I do, its

as though they aren't even active, because no matter how hard I try I can't change anything.

Is there some sort of an update download that I can use to correct this problem?

Windows Explorer (Not Responding) While In Office Programs

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 01:26 PM PST

Whenever I open or save a file inside an Office program such as Word or Excel the Windows Explorer file menu directory does not respond or allow me to navigate.  It locks up for about minute before allowing me to save the file or open one up where I want.  If I directly use Windows Explorer inside Windows 8.1 but outside of an Office program it works perfectly.  I did not have this problem until recently and cannot identify the cause.  I ran windows 8.1 in safe mode with network and still have the problem.  Ran Windows updates so everything is current. 

Vista Again

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 12:31 PM PST

Recently downloaded Windows Vista update causes Word 2007 to no load downloaded .doc files. I used a system restore and everything was fine. However, I left automatic updates on and Vista updated and voila! I am back to where I am. How do I fix the issue for the Vista update?

I asked this question a year ago and now I am having he same issue. However, the solution I tried does not work. Are there any suggestions? I have no clue what to do at this point...

Word 2010 Headers and Footers - Header on First Page only and Footers on all pages

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 11:05 AM PST

I am having a lot of trouble trying to sort a document out.  It's minutes I've prepared for a kids club.  I have a letterhead which has a header and footer already, whenever I type a letter I type the letter onto the letterhed and its easy.  However, the header is not text, it's pictures, the footer is text though.   

I have copied and pasted these minutes onto the letterhead and it is 4 pages, the header is on every page, so is the footer.   I only want the header to be on the first page.  I've tried choosing different first page but it deletes the header from the first page and leaves it on the remaining 3.  Its the other way round I want it but I'm not sure how to achieve this.  Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to remove the header from the other 3 pages? Many thanks

Prevented from saving—the Save As dialog box displays

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 09:08 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I am having the same problem. When I try to save the file, the "save as" always comes up. If I try to save another version with a new name it will not do it. It goes almost all the way through the process and then the new file comes up with the new name but is empty. The if I try to send it to trash it tells me that it can't be sent to trash because its open. But the only file that''s open is the original file. It seems as if the files are tied in some way. Really strange.

I have now done the fix suggested in this discussion - ie control>program>change>repair. And that has been done but no change!

I also tried the suggestion of copying all but last paragraph to a new file and got the same as above. ie a new file that was somehow tied to the original file. Because it also did the "save as" I closed it and tried to send it to the bin. Then got the message that the file was still open and the only file still open was the original file. When I closed that the new file went to the bin. So somehow the files are tied.

As these are critical files that I need to be able to update and alter with new names, hoping someone else has a fix!

Thanks for your help

Superimposing content in word doc

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 08:47 AM PST

I have designed some promotional bookmarks using a standard template (promotional bookmarks) and this works fine even managing to print off sample back to back. However, when I close document down and then go back in the front and back have become superimposed onto each other. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening and what I can do about it? (I'm a bit of a digital duffer but like to have a go!)

MS word Grammatical detector doesn't consider equations

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 05:49 AM PST

In MS Word 2013 or older when I write something like: "He starts in the time $t$" (when $ $ shows the equation box), it causes a grammatical error under time. So, I should use a trick to write "He starts in the time$ t$" instead. But, even this doesn't solve my entire problem; because though the error disappears, after opening the document in another version of MS Word, lots of the beginning spaces vanishes from the formulas.

So, please tell me how to fix this strange problem.

After dully purchasing Microsoft Office 365 Personal and successfully installing and activating it, each time I attempted to use the Microsoft Office Tools, brings up a dialogue box that the product was unlicensed and therefore disabled. Why should this happen while i have my own purchased product key? How can this be stopped so that I can effectively use the Microsoft Office Tools.

AirDrop sharing in Word

Is it possible to share documents via AirDrop? It would be just great option for iOS users.

If not, can we talk about future update in which it would be added?

I have a large text file with several hundred pages. How can I change the font on iPad?
