Do I need permission to use SmartArt objects in a published book?

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 02:58 PM PST

I have written a book and used SmartArt visuals throughout the book which have been customized to reflect my unique content.

Do I need Microsoft's permission to use these images in my book.

Thanks for your help.

Difference between Office 2010 and Office Home & Student 2010?

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 02:54 PM PST

Is there a difference between Office 2010 and Office Home & Student 2010?  I installed Office Home & Student 2010  to eliminate compression of images.  Numerous posts indicate that these steps ... "Stop compression: File -> Options -> Advanced  -> Image Size and Quality -> check Do not compress images in file" ... will fix the problem.

My images are still being compressed.  Is there a difference?

Office 2013 Windows Explorer preview pane isn't working

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 02:46 PM PST

For some reason when I click on Word 2013 documents the preview of the document in the Preview pane is not displaying Docx documents properly. It looks like Wingding font. The preview pane works properly for Doc files though.

I have no idea where to start in order to solve this problem. Is there some file that I need to download or restore in order to restore functionality of the preview pane with docx files? Any tips would be appreciated. I've already tried reinstalling the program multiple times and it didn't work. For whatever reason Office does not completely uninstall and leaves behind settings in places I do not know how to locate.

Word 2013 - Cross Reference from Word 2010 Docx Disappear

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 02:39 PM PST

We are testing Office 2013 and we found bug in which if you have a Word 2010 docx with cross references and try to open it with Word 2013 the cross references disappear. Office 2013 32 bit was been fully patched, and the test was conducted on Windows 7 64 bit SP1 Professional. This is stopping us from migrating to Office 2013. Is this a workaround? Is this fix or patch for this bug. Please don't tell me this is by design, because Word 2010 cross reference worked but now it's broken in Word 2013.

This bug was reproduced on 2 PC's with Windows Professional 64 bit SP1,  Dell Optiplex 790, 4GB RAM,

Microsoft Word 2013 (15.0.4667.1000) MSO (15.0.4667.1001) 32-bit

Spellcheck Hotkey?

The title basically states my question. What is or how do I assign a hotkey for spellcheck in Word?

Why do I get little squares in my ms word 2013 document

I just purchased Word 2013 yesterday, and I've noticed every time I use an apostrophe in a contraction or use quotation marks, word replaces them with tiny square boxes.

Need 3 section Breaks in Word 2010

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:09 AM PST

Preface:

I've read a number of post and how-to's online including this one... Working with Sections 

I program in many languages from assembly to C++ and everything in between... so I'm not new to computers ... nor to MS Word.

But Word's section breaks escape me even after hours of reading and experimenting... maybe I'm having a bad week?

No matter what we try we have problems... page numbers of new section do not start with one... unexpected blank page shows up when book is printed throwing off facing pages... you name it.

Hit the Reset Button:

Now we have removed all Section Breaks... (then the first page showed as page 2... so then we inserted a "continuous section break" and then deleted it to clear the hidden data at the end of the now section- less file) so now we have a clean file and the pages are numbered correctly 1 through 120.

Now we want to insert the section breaks...

And at this point I just want kind soul to tell us how to do this.

Given:

- a document for a 120 page 6x9 book to be printed on both sides with headers and footers... and page numbers only in the footers.

- there are 3 sections to the book... each section will start with page number one.

Here is the layout we want:

Book Page Section Page Page Side (Right Hand or Left Hand page)

1 1 Right
2 2 Left

--- Section Break 1 ---

3 1 Right
4 2 Left
...
15 13 Right

--- Section Break 2 ---

16 1 Left
17 2 Right

--- Section Break 3 ---

18 1 Left
19 2 Right
20 3 Left
...
120 102 Left (Last page)

The Questions:

1 - What should each Section Break be? Continuous, Next Page, Odd, or Even?

2 - Should it be (as we have been doing) at the bottom of the last page in each Section?

3 - In which order should we create the Section Breaks? Section 1 first or Section 3 first?

4 - Do new sections have to begin (relative to the entire document) on an even numbered page?

Thanks for any help !!!!!!!!!!

How do I maintain relative links between a Word and Excel document?

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:45 AM PST

I have created a Word document that is directly linked to data tables and graphs in an Excel document.  I want to email these to someone externally so that the links are maintained (ie if they keep them in the same folder, the same as I had them, then because they have the same place relative to one another on the new computer as they did on mine the links continue to work.)   Basically I need the links to be relative rather than absolute.  

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

Can't change height/width of image in Office 2010 ... worked in Office 2007

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:40 AM PST

For an image that has been inserted, Format -> Height up/down does not work ... unless I resize the image with a mouse.  Then it does work.

This was never a problem with Office 2007.

Compression is not disabled, Word 2010

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:00 AM PST

With these steps ... Stop compression: File -> Options -> Advanced  -> Image Size and Quality -> check Do not compress images in file.

Then ... Insert -> Picture -> select a .bmp file -> Insert button.

The .bmp loses resolution.  Any suggestions?

Hanging indents in MS Office for iPad

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 07:46 AM PST

In order to create a properly formatted bibliography, my students need to have the ability to set up hanging indents in MS Office.  They are using the MS Office Word app for the iPad.  Are hanging indents available?  They all have personal OneDrive accounts.

alphabetizing bulleted lists

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 09:09 PM PST

I have a plain, non-bulleted list that includes some items with bullets. When I hit the alphabetize button it alphabetizes the bulleted items the same way as the rest, instead of keeping them in their section. For example:

dog

  • beagle
  • hound
  • terrier

cat

horse

Turns into this after I alphabetize:

  • beagle

cat

dog

horse

  • hound
  • terrier

How do I get it to keep the bulleted part within its own list?

Reset the spell check's "ignore all" button?

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 08:10 PM PST

I had just opened a document created in a text editor in Word 2003 so I could run it through the spell checker.

While doing so, I had a lot of things to hit the "ignore" button for as they weren't words but codes or special one-use abbreviations.

However, I accidentally hit "ignore all" for a mispelled word that I don't know the correct spelling for, and I couldn't get Word to bring it up again when I ran the spell checker a second time.

Quitting Word and reopening the file worked, but is there an easier way to reset the "ignore" button?  It's not a big deal to quit and reload with 99.9% of the documents I edit, but I recall the final Capstone project for my college degree took quite a while to load as it was over 150 pages with lots of tables, diagrams, and a few charts and graphics, and back in 2007 I was part of a collaboration to update the user's manual for a program we supported which also took a bit to load due to there being as many screen shots in the manual as a Microsoft Press training book (at least for the MCSA & MCDST for XP, and the MCTS and MCITP for Vista, 2008, 2010 and 7).

How to restore a document after format by filtered web page (Word 2013)

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 06:01 PM PST

I have a document which I edited and saved as a filtered web page and now can't get back to the original even using a previously backed-up copy.

Here's what happened.

My wife, on her PC, created five documents in Word 2013, each one a page of content and layout of a web site we're plannng to make.

I copied the docs to my PC (also Word 2013) using a flash drive and displayed each in turn, and they all looked the same as on her PC.

I then edited the first doc and for a trial saved it as a filtered web page.  As I didn't like the result I then deleted it and tried to copy and re-open the first doc from the flash drive.  It displayed in the same way as the filtered web page, even though the copy on the flash drive had not been edited.On her PC I then saved her original page one doc with a completely different file name, transferred it to my PC and that also now takes on the layout of the filtered web page on my PC, but not on hers.

How do I get back to a point where I can display the page one on my PC as it appears on hers?

More complex "If/then" options in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 05:41 PM PST

I'm trying to figure out how to get Microsoft Word's mail merge function to work in the following way.

Currently, I have a Word document configured in the following way:

{IF { MERGEFIELD What_Color_Apples } = "Red" "The apple is not yellow" "The apple is yellow" }

So if the data file says the apple is red, the document will read "The apple is not yellow", whereas if the data file says the apple is yellow, the data file will read "The apple is yellow".

What I'm trying to do is deal with more than two options. That is, if the data file has red or green, I want it to say one thing, whereas if it is yellow, I want it to say another thing.

Right now the way I have it set up is to do multiple if/then statements in the following way.

{IF { MERGEFIELD What_Color_Apples } = "Red" "The apple is not yellow" "" }{IF { MERGEFIELD What_Color_Apples } = "Green" "The apple is not yellow" "" }{IF { MERGEFIELD What_Color_Apples } = "Yellow" "The apple is yellow" "" }

This seems like a workaround. It also gets to be burdensome where there are 120 options, as in my case, so I have to set all 120 out.

Hopefully that makes sense. I'm not sure I know the terminology well enough to make the question entirely clear, except by using the simple examples I used above.

Table of contents dialog when printing

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 04:33 PM PST

Word 2007. When I print a document that has a table of contents the dialog box "update table of contents" appears just before printing, even though I have not made any changes to the document. How can I stop the dialog box from appearing?

Strange behavior of Word 2013

Posted: 30 Nov 2014 03:51 PM PST

I'm writing my master thesis. I have used both my own computer, with Word 2013 and the computers at school with Word 2010.

The strange behavior now is that when I open the document in Word 2013 and print view, only the first 12 pages are showing. Rest of the pages (have 60 pages in total) are not. If I switch to outline view, everything shows. If I open it in Word online, everything is good. When I open it in Word 2010, everything is just fine. However, Word 2013 in print view is not. Does anyone know what can be the reason for this behavior?

I have pictures, tables, equations, custom margins, headings. I have used sub-documents. I have tried to figure out if there is something special content that causes this, but I am able to move text around using the navigation pane. Nevertheless, I will only show the first 12 pages whatever the content is.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
