Microsoft Word - Word 2013 printer issues

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 printer issues

Word 2013 printer issues

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 02:31 PM PST

I have an HP CP4525 printer freezes every open program on my system any time I try to print from Word 2013. I have gone through 5 different people with HP and they have all tried various fixes, but nothing works. HP suggests' it is a 'Word' issue. I'm concerned because I have to restart my system every time I want to print a word document and this week that has been more than 6-10 times daily. Certainly that can't be a good thing.  I wish I could get by without using word, but it's a necessity. I'm at my wits end with this issue.  I run windows 7 professional on a Compaq DC5800, version 6.1, service pack 1. Should I try to load a different version of 'Word' to use outside of the other 2013 products? Any help is appreciated! Thanks for reading. 

Mail Merge problems

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 12:01 PM PST

Hello, 

I am doing a big Christmas mail out for work and mail merge is giving me some problems (or, more likely, I don't have the knowledge to use it to my full advantage). I am using a letter in Word 2013 and a recipient list in Excel 2013. I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give on the problems I am having, which include: 

1) I've formatted my Excel columns the way they are supposed to be. There are headings on the columns, the postal code is set up as text so I don't lose zeros in the merge, I've included my province's abbreviation rather than its full name, and I've made sure that all street addresses are typed with capital letters. However, when I view my recipient list and preview the inserted address and greeting fields in my document, I notice that Word chooses to ignore my formatting. My province is its full name (not the end of the world, but annoying because it's a long name), and street addresses are showing up un-capitalized. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it? 

2) When I ask to remove duplicates in the Edit Recipient List box, there are actually duplicates. Removing them won't be a big deal, I guess, but there are no duplicates in my Excel sheet, so why are they in Word? 

3) I want my greeting line to include ONLY my recipients' first names, not their full names. I have separate columns in Excel for both first and last name, titled FirstName and LastName (no spaces to screw it up). However, in Word, when I try to Match Fields for the greeting line I don't have the option to match with first or last name. That is to say, the drop down text boxes are there for the first and last name fields, just as they are for address and postal code and everything else you could match with. However, when you click the drop down boxes and see the list of options to match with, I only have Name. Not First Name or Last Name, just Name, which gives me their full name. Why is this happening? 

I understand that's a confusing set of questions, so I am happy to clarify as needed. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide :). I truly appreciate your time and effort. 

Best, 

Andrew 

Design Tab - Themes

Inserting pictures or clip art in Word 2007

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 09:31 AM PST

I have trouble adding more clip art into my document. It already has other text boxes and clip art and when I insert more, all the others jump around and get mixed up! I always save after changing anything in it. Does it have to do with the "text wrapping" under "format"? I usually click on "square" in text wrapping and it sets it in place, but then when I add something else, everything jumps around again....very frustrating.  Any advice?

Footer moved by itself and now too high no matter what I do.

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 08:36 AM PST

Hi everyone. This site is the last resort to resolve my Microsoft problems.

I run W7, and Office 2010.

I print official one page letters, all of which have a footer with our contact details.

For reasons unknown, one day I found that the footer moved up, and now there is about 2.5 cm worth of blank space under the footer.

I have a copy of a document I printed some couple of months ago, with footer at its normal place. Opening the very same file and printing it now moves the footer up.

I read all the posts on the subject, and tried every last thing suggested, including the repair function. Nothing works to drop the footer back to where it belongs. I tried the "repair" function, rebooting, creating fresh docs, playing with the ruler, altering the margins etc.

The print preview shows the footer right at the bottom where it should be, but it does not translate to the printed document.

I would hate to have to reinstall Windows 7 (again, after I could not fix all of the bugs in Outlook), I will be most grateful for a workable suggestion.

How set up a restricted document where adding text doesn't add additional lines?

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 07:17 AM PST

I created a form, and have inserted Plain Text Content Control box so I can tab. One section requires a lot of info and it can be easily overlooked unless I put in an extra space by pressing enter. However, if I do that then restrict the document, the person entering text more than one line keeps moving the space down. I want the text entry to overtype the enters I placed. So the size of the content control box stays the same no matter how much text is entered into it.

How do you include all authors in Harvard style reference list, not "et al"?

I've used the reference tool in Word 2013, harvard style, to cite throughout my essay, I've just gone to put my reference list in and it's not including all authors in the list, just "et al". How can I make it include all authors?

Thanks

Word 2013 Document containing Macros is lagging when opened.

I have created a document in Word 2013 containing several macros.  When I open this document in Print Layout the form aspects of the documents lag behind the rest of the document when scrolling up and down.

In the past it was possible to select a column of text in  word with the Alt key + mouse dragging. This seems not to work anymore. 

Is there another way to select a column of text in Word?

Recovery of document on a Word for Ipad

Posted: 21 Nov 2014 12:19 AM PST

Does anyone know of a way to recover a document I was writing on my Word for IPad?  It was an open document, which I went out of to access my iBooks for a reference and when I went back in, the page was gone.  I had not saved it specifically (though maybe there is an auto saved version somewhere) but it looks like an update took place on the word program about the same time which I'm wondering whether it was the cause.

i had been hopping in and out of the screen for a few hours with no problems so have no idea where it has gone but will be very hard to start over again.

any advice would be really appreciated

Office in Windows Phone lacks basic features

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 09:47 PM PST

Office in Windows Phone lacks basic features as Indentation, numbered lists, bullet lists which, to my surprise, are available in OneNote. I request Microsoft to add these features in Office also. It was disappointing to see these basic features missing in Office.

find and replace variation

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 08:56 PM PST

I have an index with entries like

alligators, 121, 145

cats, 21, 56

dogs, 13, 44, 97

I do not know why some of the index lines are in bold

I can't change the styles of the entries in the text because there are over 13,000 of them.

I want to unbold the word part of the entry but not the page numbers, so I would get this:

alligators, 121, 145

cats, 21, 56

dogs, 13, 44, 97

There must be an easy way to do this but I have not found it.

How to change the direction Word prints landscape pages?

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 04:41 PM PST

I have a Microsoft Word 2013 document with both portrait & landscape pages in it (different sections). Everything prints ok, but I would like to change the orientation that my landscape pages print by 180 degrees.

The majority of my document is in portrait orientation, with a few sections that are landscape. Currently, when printed as a whole document, the landscape pages print with the "top" of the page on the right of the page (when viewed as a whole printed portrait document). When having two landscape pages side by side, it looks like I should read page 4 before page 3 due to them both having their "top" of the page on the right. This causes big problems when I have tables flowing over multiple landscape pages, as readers incorrectly think they should read page 4 before page 3.

As this is rather difficult to explain, I've attached a picture of how Word prints my document and how I'd like it to print it.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!

Need help opening ms2010 documents

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 04:26 PM PST

I have been trying to open my ms2010 documents most of the day, I have used every form of help I have find except using the gmail to open them one by one because I have a lot. I installed MS 2007 today and the comparability files so that I may open up the 2010 documents, but all it opened up was a bunch of funny writing I have never seen. I hope someone can help me, I'm about at the end of my rope. I've ran my malware and did a boot-time scan with the Avast. I found virus's but not for the ms2010.

          Thank you

Word 2003 Envelopes

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 03:28 PM PST

<Moved to Word 2003 forum from Windows XP Programs>

I have a two different files, each with lists of names and addresses that I use to print cards and letters using Letters and Mailings/Envelopes and Labels. The listings in each file are single spaced. When I use one of the files, the envelopes print fine. However, when I use the other file, the spacing between the lines on the envelope  is greatly increased.
