Microsoft Word Not accessible

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:34 PM PST

When trying to access Word, I am asked to activate Office so I enter my email and password and get the following error message:  Sorry;, we ran into a problem while trying to install the product key.  If this keeps happening you should try repairing your office product.  (System err 0xc06d007e).  I then get three options:  Repair Now     Help     Cancel

When I click on Repair Now, nothing happens....it just takes me out of Word altogether.  Would like to get some things done, so how do I get this working again, or is it something Microsoft needs to repair on their end?

Changing styles

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:24 PM PST

Word 2010.  I create a document using styles, some of which I alter and then update all examples of that style.  I save the document and close it.  When next I open the document, the altered styles have reverted back to the original.  Also, while working in the document, working with text using one style makes other styles change.  How can I stabalize the document?

"Rules" fields in Word disappear (mail merge)

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:10 PM PST

I am creating an email template in Word that requires some IF ... THEN logic. In this case, the data I'm pulling from Excel uses abbreviations, but I would like to replace it with the full word. But  whenever I create a rule field it never shows in the document. Even if I manually enter them by hitting Ctrl-F9 and write out the IF statement manually it will disappear after I send the email.

Is there any way to display all of the "Rules" fields with the logic in them - maybe a "hide/unhide" function?

For example if I create a rule that checks to see if the data in the Excel file says "11" and replaces it with "November" I want it to display a field that looks like this: { IF { MERGEFIELD month } = "11" "November" "" }

The file is working, but it's frustrating when I can't know for sure if all of the IF statements I need are actually there and the last thing I want to do is send out an email to 50 recipients and have blank fields because I missed a rule.

Thanks.

Microsoft Word Templates Text box

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:09 PM PST

I want to create a template for an announcement sheet. It should generally look like this:

Awards

John Doe..................................Dogbone 1

Mary Smith..............................Red Jewel 1

Sean Howard..........................Challenge Patch 6

etc.

Art Night Winners

Susie Black

Callie Winters

etc.

The headings Awards, Art Night Winners, etc. should be protected (unchangeable).

How do I accommodate any number of winners in my lists since I can't use the enter key in a text box. If I put in as many text boxes as I could possibly have winners, then I will have extra space in my document.

Once a Word or Excel doc is corrupted, how can you recover it?

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 10:08 AM PST

Split from this thread.

This did not answer the question.  The question was how to recover these corrupted files, not how to save them as a converted document.

Word2013 crash

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:50 AM PST

Hello Everyone,

I have subscribed to the Office365 - and downloaded it on my New Lenovo Yoga2 160GB-Solid state Hard Drive - Windows 8.1.

I am unable to use the Word application - as it crashes if I use the backspace key or if I hit the right click button, or try to edit the document that requires too much clicking.

Please help me - as this problem is causing the word application to keep restarting or just close down.

I am able to recover my documents in the recover mode but unable to complete my work.

Thank you for your assistance.

regards

Cross reference automatically updating deleted section to 1.1

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:34 AM PST

In my document, I have several sections that are references.  These documents are sometimes used as templates for others.  When they decide to delete a section that is being cross referenced, the former number would then say, "ERROR SOURCE REFERENCE NOT FOUND" However now it is does not.  It just changes the deleted reference number to 1.1.  How can I can get it to not automatically change it to 1.1?

Word is autocorrecting in French even though all my language settings are for U.S. English

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 07:01 AM PST

I have Office 20013. In Word, my AutoCorrect is spell checking in French instead of English, even though all my language settings are set for English (United States). When I go into the Options: Language tab, English (United States) is the default language. When I go into the proofing tab, and click on "AutoCorrect options," the title of the box when the AutoCorrect tab is on, is "AutoCorrect: French (France)." When I click and of the the other four tabs, the title is simply "AutoCorrect." There seems to be no way to change this setting. How to fix this and get it to autocorrect in English?

Split Batch Documents into Single Files

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 05:13 AM PST

Hello,

Our document production system uses word to generate all of our letters in batches, so that one file contains up to 200 letters. This is how our document system manages things. However, a client has requested individual documents for their work. Is there a macro that can run against a file that might contain anything up to 200 pages and split these into a word file for each of those pages, and then save them into a given location? The file name would need to contain a prescribed set of details such as original letter description (which will be part of the initial batch), date and...... I'm not sure what else at the moment.

It could be that some of these documents might be 2 page letters so we'll need to be able to determine if this is the case or not, so that we keep each page together.

In the first instance, we just need to know if it is possible to split them out and save them as separate documents.

I hope this all makes sense.

Thanks.

Regards,

Chris

Problem with iOS Keyboard app on iPad

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 02:38 AM PST

DESCRIPTION
We have developed an iOS keyboard app and we have found an issue in Microsoft Word for iPad.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In MS Word on iPad, create a new document or start a new line in an existing document.
2. Type one letter (eg "A")
3. Delete the letter (so the line is now empty).
4. Our keyboard needs to find out what is to the right of the caret. Using a subclass of the UIInputViewController, we use self.textDocumentProxy documentContextAfterInput

ACTUAL RESULT:
The result we get is "A"

EXPECTED RESULT:
The result should be null.

ADDITIONAL INFO
1. If we want to find out what is to the left of the caret, using self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextBeforeInput, we get the correct result
2. Step 1 is essential - it has to be the beginning of a line.
3. If you move the caret to a different position in the document after step 3, and then move the caret back to the same position, the issue does not occur.
4. We don't get this issue with any other app - it only occurs in Microsoft Word.

[BACKGROUND
it's not a problem for most keyboards, because most predictors only look backwards. Ours looks forwards as well, so that it can correctly complete words when the caret is in the middle of an existing word. For example, you can place the caret after the "k" in "walked" and select "walking" in the predictor. Our predictor deals with this case correctly.]

About word template

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:16 AM PST

Dears

Please can you tell me how to create a cover page, back cover (the end of the document), and chapter page on my word template? They all for optional uses on the new document basic create by the template. The schematic diagram as shown below:

In addition, I want a header showed the Company name, Chapter name and Author name on each pages. but I do not how to do it. For example,

  • The Company name on the header on each page is the same as the company name which shown on the cover page.
  • The Heading name on the header on each page is the same as the Heading name which shown on the chapter page. It's cover heading name and auto number.
  • The V1 is the auto number on chapter page. That meaning if I insert some      more chapter page on the document, the auto number should be shown as      V2, V3 and so on. 
  • The Author name on the header on each page is the same as the company name which shown on the cover page.

The schematic diagram as shown below:

However, please don't be so stingy to share that if you have any good idea on how to create a cover page, back cover (the end of the document), and chapter page. Thanks lots.

After saving a download as a PDF file, how do I find the PDF?

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 11:24 PM PST

I downloaded and saved some bank statements as PDF files. Now I cannot find them. I only find Word documents. I am using Word 2013.

Should I go back and save the downloads as Word documents instead of PDF files?

Index question

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 09:58 PM PST


I have these fields in the text:

{XE \F "S" "Ark, Noah's"}

{XE \F "S" "Ark, Noah's" \r "Z_G3"}


My "S" index has these resulting consecutive entries:

Ark, Noah's: 367

Ark, Noah's: 340–48


I expected this:

Ark, Noah's: 340–48, 367


There are a few similar cases. Am I wrong to expect the combined entry?

Text highlighted in grey in word document (and not coming off)

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 06:40 PM PST

Hi, 

I am having a strange issue with my microsoft word that I have not been able to figure out.

My whole text is highlighted in grey and I know its not the highlighter (I have checked that), nor the background and I can't figure out how to take it off.

When I put it in print preview it is not there anymore, but when I'm working on the document it stays grey and it is really annoying!

I have tried to clear the formatting, merge the formatting but nothing has worked. 

I just want to take this grey off. Can anyone help please?

Thank you. 

Bilingual document needs bilingual TOC

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 06:36 PM PST

Hello! I have created a bilingual document using a 2-column table in landscape mode. I would like to now create a TOC (the document is 150 pages), with the Heading 1 and 2 entries from the left column in a cell above the document body.

I have tried a lot of things, and none of them quite work - instead of the TOC entry and leader dots fitting in the cell, it is as though the entry wants to be the full page width.

Is there a way to change the default formatting of the entry so each entry and page number will fit in the 5" wide cell? I will also do the same process for the right hand column, but it will not be difficult as the two columns have different formatting styles (Header 1 on left, RHeader 1 on right; Header 2 and RHeader 2, etc.), so whatever process I use on the left will be done on the right.

Thanks for your help in setting this up.

How to access fonts Word

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 04:29 PM PST

I am working with Microsoft Windows 365 running on 8.1 . I have found my installed fonts but when I am working in Word and pull down design and click fonts there is a tiny choice. The fonts I want are marked as show , they are not hidden. But I can't access or use them. Since I am new to Windows do not use any jargon or jump through steps or indicate I should use the "hamburger button" or other such nomenclature that presumes I have been in this environment forever. Thanks,
