Microsoft Word - MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion

Microsoft Word - MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion

MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 02:46 PM PST

I have the multilevel list approach to numbering figures in a document in relation to their chapter working.

When I create a table of figures, there are figures in the list that were edited out.

This appears to also be throwing off the sequential numbering of the figures. Figure 2.1 is followed by Figure 2.3.

Any ideas about what I need to do to correct this?

recovering unsafe document

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 12:36 PM PST

I left my computer open and thought I saved my word document using word document then my computer shut down by itself and install updates. When I went back on and sign in on my password there wasn't anything stating that it was an irregular shutdown. There was no recover files. I was wondering if there was a way of recovery the document?

Security Prompt No Longer Appears When Opening Macro-enabled Document

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 12:15 PM PST

Greetings All,

Pecuilar problem. I no longer receive the option to enable macros via the security warning. Word 2010 is set to display all messages and my macro settings have not been adjusted. I do have Adobe Acrobat integrated into my Word, could this be a problem? This file works fine for everyone else. Even people who logon to my computer under a different profile.

Thanks for any assistance

Blank Picture Control Field print issue

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 11:29 AM PST

I have created a form with fillable fields.  I have been requested to add 3 Picture Control fields so that the user can click add pictures in these 3 fields with ease.  The only problem is they will not always have 3 pictures to add and when the control is empty, it still appears on printing.  How do I hide a blank/empty Picture Control field on print?

MACROS IN WORD 2010 - WHAT TO SELECT PRIOR TO RECORDING

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 11:03 AM PST

Hi

I had a macro question in a recent MOS Word expert exam which I couldn't get to work properly.

Instructions were as follows:

Record macro, name it "GREEN HIGHLIGHT" which will highlight text green. Assign keyboard shortcut to it CTRL+ ALT+ 7, save to current document and then apply it to let's say the 2006 column of a table on page 5 (for example)

I did the following: Developer - named macro (to current doc) - assigned keyboard shortcut, pressed assign. Recorded the formatting. highlight green. Stopped recording.   Then scrolled down to the correct table and column required. When I tested my shortcut key nothing happened.  Does this mean I need to select my specific column PRIOR to recording it (which works each time) but if so, when do I get to test my shortcut key?

Sorry for very wordy post. 

Any answers welcome!

Thanks

Quick Ways to Select Text?

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 10:44 AM PST

What happened to F8?

So, what are the easy keystrokes to select text and expand the selection?

For example, I used to hit F8 to start "select," and then hit the down arrow to select to the end of the paragraph -- and successive down arrows to increase the selection by paragraph.  Or F8 - page down for a page.  or F8 - End to select everything to the end of the document.

How do we do this in Word 2013?  Hitting the F8 key doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Please help me to reactivate my account so that I can continue to edit my work on Microsoft office

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 07:19 AM PST

To whom it may concern:

My name is Cynthia Soublet and I would like to reactivate my account on Microsoft office so that I can type letters on Microsoft word 2007 and edit them.

Once I type  a letter on word 2007 and save it  I can not later go on the document and edit my paper because it says  that I need to reactivate my account and I do not know how because my account name should be *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and my pass word is [redacted] and I cannot use either to reactivate my account. Could you please activate my account for me using my information. I have an important document to type right away.

I may have erased my account name *** Email address is removed for privacy *** by accident or if I must change the account name to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** please help me to do so.

Thank you

Cynthia Soublet

Where can a company go on the web to find a freelance MS Word consultant?

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 06:59 AM PST

Hi,


We're a small company in Calgary, Canada that needs help with some updates from MS Word 2003 to MS Word 2007 and then exporting those to PDF.

We have a number of problems:


It's about 50/50 for a successful conversion…. Some come up with the error: Unable to Open the Document

Some convert but them grab a piece of the front page and insert it in a page along the side of the document.

Some say, Error!  Not a valid bookmark self-reference.

Some don't look very well at all when viewed in Firefox but look OK in Acrobat and Internet Explorer.

 

I can't find any consultants when i do a search on the web ..... where are they hiding or what words should I use for a search term?

Cheers'

Cursor in the wrong place

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 06:28 AM PST

<moved from Windows 7 Performance and Maintenance>

Recently upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2013. Now when editing a document created with 2003 the cursor appears in the wrong place. it appears top be in the wrong place. First the vertical line that is the cursor often appears in the center of a character instead of between two characters.  Second, often the cursor is one or two characters to the left of where it actually is. For instance, assume I want to edit 1234567890 by deleting the 6. I click on the space between 6 and 7. In this example, in spite of what I said above, assume the cursor does appear there (13456|7890). Press Back Space to delet the 6 and I get 123456|890. Instead of deleting the 6, 7 is gone. It can be maddening trying to edit documents.

FWIW. I am editing a 'template' that I do not own so I can not recreate the original document.

Problems with opening a cited document in word

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 02:01 AM PST

I am using Word to write my thesis, but since updating, I get this message every time I open the document:

I then have to save the document as a new file but all the citations I have put in are then unlinked from my citation program Mendeley, meaning I can no longer use the 'cite as I write' plugin function.

Is there a way to fix this and recover my citations??

Kind regards,

Unwanted styles in Styles pane

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 01:02 AM PST

Split from this thread.

On the Recommended tab, firstly I  hide all the styles then selected only the styles I want to show using the Show button.  I have set the Sort Order to "alphabetical" and ticked "Show Recommended Styles only".  The Style pane displays exactly what I want.  I then save the document and reopen only to find other "unwanted" styles displaying in the style pane.  Why is this happening?  How can I stop this from happening?  Any advice please.

Send as e-mail attachment fails

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 12:49 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I am using a Word 2010 template to create a newsletter. I use the basic format but may change the position of a text box and make my own choice of fonts and sizes.  When I try to send it as an email attachment it won't go.  Says there is invisible copy. What is up with that? Now it will not let me send the document at all. If one chooses a template, do you have to follow the template exactly.

I recently did this with a brochure and did not have any problems with the format or sending. I'm confused.

Track my membership

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 09:03 PM PST

I am part of a community with many members.  There are also many activities we do in this community, subdivided into different categories (e.g. - Tennis, Hockey, etc.).  I am wanting to establish a spreadsheet which allows me to add members names to these different categories, whereby I can measure the following items:

- The number of activities in which a member is involved

- The percentage of total members participating in activities

- The specific names of those persons who are involved in the different activities (e.g. - I can look to the category 'Tennis' and see that Frank, Sue and Bill all are participating in Tennis).

- The percentage of total members which are involved in a specific activity (e.g. - .07% of the members are in 'Hockey').

- To be able to display the data above, namely the percentages, in a graph or chart.

Thanks for reviewing this.  I am hoping to have something like this set up in time for January 2015.  Your help in appreciated.

printing on 3.5 x 6 cards

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 03:14 PM PST

When attempting printing a word document (office 2013 and Windows 7)  on 3.5 x 6 card using either an HP 1200 or a HP Pll02 the paper will feed thru the machine but it will not print. We have used the HP1200 printer for years and successfully printed on these cards with an older XP machine running an older version of word. If I print a 8.5 x 11 test page or sample document the text is there.

It appears that some setting or driver in windows does not like the small card format. If the card is printed on a Sharp 2080 printer the test is on the card but completely unreadable.
