Microsoft Word - Word 2013 slow when editing document with tracked changes

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 slow when editing document with tracked changes

Word 2013 slow when editing document with tracked changes

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:32 PM PST

I am editing a 5 mb Word 2013 document in tracked changes.   Editing is very slow - it takes forever to delete a word or character, etc.   I have a new Surface Pro 2 with 8 gb RAM, a 500+ gb SSD and an i5 processor (Windows 8.1 of course).  Only 2% of CPU and 30% of memory is being used.   I don't have a virus, and set download to pdf as my default printer.   I tried deleting the formatting changes, but no dice.   How do you speed up editing?   I'm a business user. Not using track changes is not an acceptable answer.   It's only a 5mb document - lots of tables, but no graphics yet.

How to install required tools for spell check with 2013 Word (HUP)?

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:00 PM PST

Details:

Personal computer running Windows 8.1, 64-bit

Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PPT) installed using Home Use Program (HUP)

Question:

I currently do not having spell-check enabled (no red/green squigglies). A pop up prompt within Word suggested I install the required proofing tools. Following the link led me to this MS website. 

From here I wasn't entirely sure what I should be downloading. I scrolled down to Proofing Tool > Download > selected English and downloaded. Once installed it prompted me to restart Word so I closed out and reopened my document. Clicking spell-check prompted the same pop-up.

It would appear that I need to download something else. Is spell-check a free downloadable tool? Should I have downloaded something other than the Proofing Tool (I.E. Language Pack $)?

Thank you for any help or direction,

Zack

Templates in Word

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 01:56 PM PST

There are 7 Normal.dot templates on my computer. (Normal1.dot, Normal2.dot etc) 

Can I delete some of these templates and not delete or corrupt a document created with the template?  Is there a way of knowing what Word document is using which template? 

As you can tell I do not know how the template and data connect.  I do not need all these templates but I do not want to delete data.

Thanks  

Fonts Won't Embed

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 01:17 PM PST

I have uploaded a Word (2003) manuscript to Create Space half a dozen times, but the Interior Reviewer keeps saying that my fonts aren't embedded.  I have verified that the correct boxes are checked and unchecked in the Options menu.  The fonts are TrueType fonts (Adamsky and Accord), but I'm not certain that they are embeddable, because I don't know how to confirm that.  Does anyone have an educated guess as to why this is happening?

Cursor disappears in MS Word

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 09:47 AM PST

When I switch from print mode to draft mode my cursor disappears. This is very disconcerting because I prefer to do all my work in draft mode.

I use MS Office 2013 in Win 8.1.

Also, is there any way to make draft mode the default for new docs?

Thanks.

Recover files in their original format extensions from readyboost

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 08:07 AM PST

Needing to free up some memory, I transferred a directory containing a large number of files, mostly doc and docx but also some pdf and jpg, to a high-capacity usb memory stick.  Now I find that they have been stored in sfcache format, which I had never heard of.  When I try to open the directory in Word (I always accessed it in Word before, and right-clicked the non-doc files to select the program that opened them), I get a message that another program is using it.  Also when I insert the usb drive, there is no autorun popup.  I need to recover this material in the original formats, and I cannot find anything I can understand on how to do it.

Convert a PDF file with PostScript font (T3) to Word document

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 05:30 AM PST

Hi,

I have a PDF file with Type 3 PostScript font embedded in it, the text is in Vietnamese. I used Nitro PDF to convert the file to Word so I can edit it but after converting the text is displayed incorrectly. Even when I open the PDF file directly in Microsoft Word 2013 the text still displays incorrectly. Is there a solution this?

I have a some screenshots here so you can easily know what I mean:

Word 2010 - mailmerge previews OK, simulates OK but completing or printing or editing gives "data records empty or no data records fit your query"

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 03:42 AM PST

Fed up with 2010 -  always needs the data file on drive C while I am working over a shared network at home with the data stored originally on a NAS box so I have to copy it across each time - not particularly onerous but a damn nuisance.  This particular data file I used 6 months ago and it worked fine - now I choose the data source and it previews the first page perfectly.  I use the Auto Check for errors and the simulation works with "no errors" while the other 2 options give "data records empty or no data records fit your query"-  neither giving any indication in a 'separate document' of what the problem is.  If I Finish and Edit the individual document I get the same error message.  Printing just doesnt do anything - you click print - no error message and nothing goes to the printer.  Have tried re-choosing the data.  Have tried re-saving both master and data with different names plus .doc and .docx .  Never had any of this with previous versions of Word.

Page information in status bar

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 03:35 AM PST

Yesterday Word ceased including page information in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, indicating that every document was one page long regardless of word count. Right clicking showed that the appropriate check marks were all in place for page info to appear. Still nothing. Anyone know how to get this function to work properly?

Mailing merge creates a document, with all the pages numbered as 1

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:59 AM PST

Hi, I've got this problem:

TL:DR:
All the pages of a mailing merge are treated as one huge page (all have number 1), even when printing.

Full:

I create a mailing merge for labels (around 70 pages), Everything works fine,prints everything etc. However, due to printer problems there sometimes is a need to reprint one or more pages. Here is where it becomes tricky - I think that because the exported table of labels is treated as a single section, even though I see the each page the way I would print, they all have number 1. I can scroll trough the entire document, and the number always remains 1. When I print, it is impossible to print out only one page that I wold like to, as it prints the entire document insted. Inserting a page break results in the next page being number 2, but the consecutive ones' numbers are unchanged (1). Theoretically, I could insert a whole lot of page breaks, but it would result in my document becoming a huge mess. Exporting the file into PDF help, as Adobe sees each page as a separate, properly numbered page, but nevertheless having the document in a printable, editable form in Word is quite important to me.

Is there some fix for this? Thanks in advance

Highlight function doesn't work, it stops after one click in the document

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:02 AM PST

I never had problems with my hihglight function in Word 2007. Since I opened a certain document, nothing special just a Word document, my highlight function stopped working.

I can still highlight text, but after one click with my mouse, the marking stops. Where it should normally should stay on, untill you click the button 'stop highlighting'.

I've alreay called the help desk, but they cannot help me unfortunately. Is there anyone else who had the same problem, but was able to fix it?

No responding when close word after copy something from the document

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 07:02 PM PST

I use office 2013 64 bit on Windows 8.1. The hard drive is SSD with TRIM on. Also I has another computer with normal hard drive. The following problem occurred on both computers.

When I open a word document, no matter .doc or .docx, and copy some words, even a character, then I close the document. The word program stop responding. This problem arises no matter the size of the documents. If I open some word documents, no responding when I close the last one. I tried

  • Deleted COM plug-ins
  • Repair install
  • Disable Hardware Acceleration
  • Remove internet from locations to save to
  • Disable background saving

While it still exist.

I don't know is there any connections with the topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-2013-extremely-slow-saving-and-pasting-plain/94718ebd-0a1a-4542-904a-33185a115ae2?page=12&tm=1416970165055

Pls help to figure me out. Thanks
