Microsoft Word - Where did all the Symbols go?

Microsoft Word - Where did all the Symbols go?

Where did all the Symbols go?

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 02:30 PM PST

I opened Microsoft word today and the symbol library seems a lot smaller. Lots of the symbols I usually use are missing. (Ex. Infinity and all Greek Letters)

Am I missing some key info? This is makes it difficult to finish what i'm working on, can someone help me?

Go Directly to Edit Online

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 02:20 PM PST

Is there a way to have documents open directly in "Edit in (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) Online" with out having to click on "Edit Document"?  This seems a redundant step as I can, from Edit Online then choose "Edit in Word, PowerPoint, Excel" from the Online editor.  Shouldn't documents just open oin the Online Editor automatically?

Thank you!

Windows 7 word doc issue

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 01:42 PM PST

Windows 7 word doc issue. Once saved and reopened the document either is missing all content or the document reopened with 1500 pages instead of 70? Some files are now completely missing and appear faded with zero data in them. Since these issues have arisen it takes nearly 20 seconds for a command to be responded to. Eg I write a word and 20 seconds later it appears. Any advice? Updates installed, tried in safe mode and word would not even open!

MS Word 2010.

Hi All.


I have recently been tasked to work out who is working on what department and on what day and times, including night working and weekend working.


So, I have created a Word doc file with six boxes across with Date, Department one, Two, Three and then Nights and Overtime boxes too, then there are the boxes below which have to have the staff members name in it to show who is working where and when, these of course correspond with the row of boxes on the left dropping down with the days of the week, such as Monday, Tuesday etc covering the seven days.


This is all fine and easy to do, but, what I would like to do is be able to lock the base template with the days of the week dropping down on the left from top to bottom, and the other boxes that have the respective departments to identify them so that none of them can be moved. (Please See Picture Below)


I would ideally then like to be able to draw small boxes and put the staff members names in which can then be locked to that small box so that I can then just drag the boxes with their names in onto the relevant departments instead of having to cut and paste their names all the time, or type them into the boxes as well.


Is there a way this can be done please?


I know Word has come a long way since it's inception, but I am hoping it can be done in Word rather than have to use Excel or something.


PS I have to work with what I have got, so buying other software programs is out of the question.

I appreciate any help or suggestions anyone has


Thanks again.


Peter.

Word Normal Margin

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 08:54 AM PST

I have Microsoft Office online.  When opening new blank Word document margins are not set to norm, i.e., 1"x1"x1"x1".  There is a 1' left & right but none top & bottom.  When selecting a different margin setup from drop down it will change the left and right but not the top & bottom.

Unable to open Word document because of end tag/start tag mismatch error

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 07:43 AM PST

I have gone through quite a few of the previous posts on here and have not been able to fix my document.

I keep on getting the same error, and am completely un-aware of how to deal with XML.

It firstly says 'The XML data is invalid according to the schema', then says 'The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line:2, Column: 8851972'

Would someone be able to take a look at it for me? It's my dissertation and it's due in a few days :(

Thank you so much!

I can't find word in office 365

How can you get Management to support and fund Word/Excel training for their team

Posted: 22 Nov 2014 04:41 AM PST

Thought I'd ask this on the Microsoft Community forum.

Many places of employment refuse to send their staff on IT training for Microsoft Office products, and expect everyone to struggle on. Or, they send one person who then "passes on" parts of what they have learnt to other team members. 

The problem with the "passing on" method is that the trainee may not have understood or taken on board all that was taught to them, so any errors are compounded.

So - Imagine that you work in an office environment, but you're the only one with formal training for Microsoft Office. You recognise that other staff could be more productive (quicker - less errors) and produce more professional documents if they undertook a training course, such as European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL). The problem of being the trained individual being that one can constantly be receiving requests of "How do I" when concentrating and trying to complete own tasks.

How do you get the manager (who refuses to consider training) to recognise that they have no idea of what Word and Excel can actually do for them? And that their refusal to go on training or approve training for others is preventing the team from producing professional looking documents quickly with high productivity turnover (more work being achieved).

Would love to hear your comments

I need to now if calibri font was already available to the market in april 2004, and with which office pack.

That's to say, is it possible that a letter in calibri font was written in april 2004?

Word for iPad Recents Menu

In the recents menu, some file icons have a check mark in the lower right corner and others do not.  Why is that?  What does the check mark indicate?

Page Layout, Landscape isn't really Landscape

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 04:43 PM PST

Two page document, when opened it is obviously Landscape but the Orientation shows it is Portrait. When changed to Landscape it narrows about 30% and is even more narrow than it would be if it were Portrait. Two of us have looked at this document and cannot figure out 1) how this could have happened in the first place and 2) how to fix it. Worst case, first thing Monday morning I will recreate the document, it will not be difficult. Has anyone else ever seen this happen before? If yes, were you able to fix it and how? This is at work where we still have Office 2007. I've tried to recreate it at home with Office 2010 but am unable to.

Show Comments is grayed out in Word 2013? Comments are always showing!

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 04:21 PM PST

Okay, so I consider myself pretty proficient in Word (and Office in general) - I even teach courses in it at a local college.

However, I have never come across this issue before - I don't know if I changed a setting or did something silly, but the Show Comments (under the Review tab --> Comments group) is grayed out.  The comments are all showing on the right margin as if Show Comments was enabled.  However, the only way I can get them to go away is by deleting all the comments.

I just started a new document to see if it was a single document issue, but the same problem exists there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John
