Microsoft Word - Barcode Generator ActiveX Add-In for Microsoft Word + Mail Merge

Microsoft Word - Barcode Generator ActiveX Add-In for Microsoft Word + Mail Merge

Barcode Generator ActiveX Add-In for Microsoft Word + Mail Merge

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 03:02 PM PST

I bought the Barcode Generator ActiveX Add-In and it shows up on the top tab in my Microsoft Word. It works well. However, I need to use this Add-In to make mass barcode labels. I have researched that Mail Merge easily transfers the data from Excel to Word so I do not have to enter each label in Word manually. I surfed around the internet and found this video, which instructs exactly what I need to do. I tried following it's instructions, but it did not work for me.

The only difference I see is that instead of pressing "Convert All" to get the barcodes, I press "Generate All."

Word 2010 - If Then Contains Else statement

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 02:46 PM PST

I am trying to create an "if then else" formula in a WORD mail merge but cannot find the correct syntax. it should check if it says "United States" or "United States of America" or "United States of Canada"  <-- these are silly examples but the point is made.  I need it to check if the mail merge text contains "United States".   

If merge code 1 equal XX, then check if merge code 2 CONTAINS XYZ, IF so, display "nothing", else display "thanks for playing."

this is what I have

{IF {MERGEFIELD 1} = N. America {IF CONTAINS {MERGEFIELD 2} = United States} "" "thanks for playing." } }

this is just not working... any ideas.

I cannot use a Macro because I am doing this over network and don't want to install macro on each user's computer.

thanks in advance!

Server Error in '/SDESvc' Application

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 12:13 PM PST

Hello!

Having problems with a certain site and loading word files from the same. The files open fine when saved locally and then opened using MS Word 2010.

When I try to open the file directly, the file does open fine but editing is not enabled. When I click on the "Enable Editing" button at the top, I am faced with the "Server error in '/SDESvc' Application" error. This is followed by the Runtime error stuff at the bottom of the page. Tried enabling stuff in Trust center, but that was a no go. Contacted the webmaster, who says error is on the computer and nothing to do with the website!

Any thoughts and what can I do to fix?

Envelope Printing Issue

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 11:42 AM PST

I have been using Microsoft Word 2010 at work and I print envelopes using it. When I go to "Envelope Options" and then "Printing Options" there used to be an option under "Feed From" that said "Manually Select" and I would be able to side load my envelope in the work printer and it printed fine. Today I went to print an envelope as normal but today it only give me the option "Default Tray" so I am unable to side load the envelope therefore not able to print. If I print using the "Default Tray" option it prints out on normal paper from the front printer paper trays. Please advise, what happened to the options under "Feed From" and how do I get them back?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Automatically update styles check box won't stay enabled

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 11:26 AM PST

I am developing templates for use across a company in Word 2013. 

I am unable to get the 'Automatically update styles' check box to stay checked in the template so all new documents have this checked as well. This is necessary so that when a new document is created based on the template, it's styles will get updated as the template is updated.

This is true whether I limit editing of the styles or not.

This is also the case with Word 2010.

I have seen people complain that it stays enabled but I have the opposite problem.

Microsoft Word unable to change back to default format

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 08:34 AM PST

I've used Word for YEARS. Suddenly every time I open a new doc the curser blinks at the very top of the page - and I am unable to reset margins or other formatting. Isn't there a way to get to a "default"  - original word doc? It just seems to be STUCK in the unusual mode.

Help - I already tried several things.

Increasing balloon text size Office 365 Windows 8

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 06:39 AM PST

Good day,

I've found the way to increase the balloon text size used for comments (after a long long Google search), but 

1) the way to do this is véry cumbersome (pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shirt + S... I mean, come on!)...

2a) it doesn't remember the settings, even if I mark 'set as default' (or the Dutch variant: 'Nieuwe documenten gebaseerd op dit sjabloon'), so I have to change it for every new document...

2b) which wouldn't be a huge problem if the default size would be a bit bigger (font size 11+ preferably).

In general, the way to increase the balloon text size works counter intuitive and should be adjustable by right clicking the comment box – where it even shows 'Font'. But when adjusting the font size this way, the font size in the main(!) text is changed, instead of the font in the comment box / balloon. This, IMHO, is a bug. 

Can you please let me know if my remark (it's not really a question) is clear? And is this the right channel to post it?

Thank you,

How can I insert distinct names into 10 separate word documents from 1 Excel file

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 06:22 AM PST

I have 1 Excel file that contains peoples names and the name of the driving routes.

     Ex: John | Smith   | Livingston Route

            Bob  | Walker | Irvington Route

I have 10 driving routes. Each route is a separate Word document (10 files) which contains specifics to that route including images, etc.

How can I insert the name (Ex: John Smith) into the correct route Word document?

Thanks,

Removing an unwanted last page

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 03:21 AM PST

Hi

I am trying to remove a blank page from a short letter. I have received the letter template from someone else and can't figure out what they have done.

I have a table in the first page footer. A section break in the second page and then a third unwanted blank page.

If I turn on show hide I can see a return in the final footer.

I have unlinked the footers and tried to remove the footer but can not do this.

Any help would be appreciated

Microsoft office Word 365 stops working when ever I use Grammarly

Posted: 22 Dec 2014 11:13 PM PST

I have been using Microsoft word 365 for one and half  years.  Because of langue issue I use extensively Grammarly to check my grammar and spelling. Grammarly has been designed for use with Microsoft Office hence it is best package on the market for checking English writing. However it has never worked successfully with Microsoft Office Word 365. Every time I use Grammarly Word closes down and goes into recovery mode. Grammarly issued a number of patches to resolve the issue but it seems Microsoft does not accept the Grammarly add-on.  Is there a solution? Or can Microsoft improve their Word grammar and Spell check then there would be no need for add-on?

Thanks,

Steve Paris
