| Mail Merge - Labels per page & formatting Posted: 12 Dec 2014 03:28 PM PST Hello and thank you- I am having two problems in trying to create labels from a mail merge. The first is that somehow random spaces get added in when I link my data from Excel, even though the source formatting is consistent. For example: I want this: John Smith ABC Company 1234 Main St City, State Zip And occasionally with some labels I get this, or something else equally as unexpected: John Smith ABC Company 1234 Main St City, State Zip Second, I am using the Avery 5162 template with 14 labels per page. I have ~90 contacts to print labels for. After I have linked my Excel data, and set up the fields, the first page looks correct except for the above issue. However, each subsequent page begins at the contact one after the first contact of the previous page, and continues in order... So for John, Sarah, Mike, and Abby, and assuming 3 labels per page, I get: John Sarah Mike Sarah Mike Abby Mike Abby Abby... producing 1 whole page for each of the contacts. Heeeellllp! I don't want to type 90+ addresses in by hand, this is 2014. |
| Using Cut/Paste to record macro in Word 2010 Posted: 12 Dec 2014 03:20 PM PST I used to be able to create macros by cutting/pasting text (record/Ctl V/stop recording). Now, it just overwrites all the prior macros where I used cut/paste. I see that I can insert/object/text from file, and move text over from a file. But I just want sentences or paragraphs, and don't want to save a ton of little files that are just the text I need. I've looked all over on line without success. Window 7 Pro. Solution? Thanks. |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2014 01:44 PM PST I am trying to automate the captions in a report template. I need the captions to start renumbering from 1 in each portion of the report. Each report will include information on a varying number of floors in the building being discussed. For the 24th floor, I want the caption to start at 24-1. For the 5th floor, I want the caption to start at 5-1. For the mezzanine level, I want the caption to start at M-1. In trying to do this, I defined a bookmark FloorA which contains the floor number of the first floor in the report. Then I modified a caption from 24 { SEQ 24 - \* ARABIC} to { REF FloorA } - {SEQ {REF FloorA } \* ARABIC } . Unfortunately, this evaluates to 24- Error! Bookmark not defined. Caption Since the first REF field evaluates as expected, the bookmark must be defined. What am I doing wrong? The intent is to edit the contents of the FloorA bookmark and have the captions automatically update so the user doesn't have to edit the numbering of the caption fields individually. |
| How do I open "filename._docx files"? Posted: 12 Dec 2014 01:22 PM PST I'm running Windows 7 and Word 2010 and have been receiving word files with a "._docx" file type. I can't open this and there is no possibility of making an association in control panel. Is there a way to open these files or do I need a later version of Word? |
| ActiveX and Building blocks Word 2010 Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:53 AM PST Please forgive me if this is a simple question, I am new to Word VBA and everything I have learned I have learned online from groups such as these. I'm using Windows 7, Word 2010. I am creating a template (.dotm), which uses User Forms, Building blocks and ActiveX checkboxes. Based on the selection created in the User Form, building blocks are inserted into the document. In one of the building blocks, I have inserted 4 ActiveX checkboxes. I have code that hides/shows bookmarked text based on the checkbox that is 'checked'. As long as I don't close the file, the building block will insert as it should. As soon as I close the file (and Word), when the file is opened again, I try to insert this building block. I then get the 'too many edits' error. I have enough disk space and my temp folder is fine. Which leads me to my question... Can ActiveX Checkboxes be used in Building Blocks? I have tried to use the Checkbox Content Control, but I cannot add code to VBA to hide/show my bookmarked text for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:34 AM PST On December 10 2014 a pop up window appeared saying that I had an update to word starter edition 2010. Since applying this update I am unable to see my word files directory in Microsoft explorer. I can still get to the files from inside word or by doing a search for the file. From the search screen I am able to see the file properties and it is not checked as a hidden file. This is a problem because I am now unable to make a backup of just this directory or just individual files in the directory. How can I correct this problem? |
| Card design shrinks when I place it in Word 2013 Text Box??? Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:09 AM PST Before I was required to upgrade to Word2013, I was able to print out an 8.5 x 5.5 Christmas card in Text Box. Now when I try to do that, Word 2013 shrinks the size, which destroys the look of the card. |
| Word 2013: Change Compare/Legal Blackline Settings? Posted: 12 Dec 2014 09:27 AM PST How to I change the manner in which Word will identify the changes between two documents to make them more obvious? My settings have the changes in a very pale blue with a shadowed strikethrough. It's very difficult to see on the screen and almost impossible to see in a print out. I can't find anywhere to change this. Any suggestions? |
| Print Preview In WORD 2013 Has Been Slowed Down - How Do I Speed It Back Up Again? Posted: 12 Dec 2014 09:00 AM PST
In WORD 2013 when print previewing a document Microsoft seem to have slowed up the speed at which the screen paints so that there's a delay between one page and the next.
How (if possible) do I change the speed so that there's no discernible delay between painting one page in print preview mode and the next?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

| Find and replace a space in between 2 index fields Posted: 12 Dec 2014 07:41 AM PST Hi Everyone I thought I had double spaces in my word 2010 document but find and replace didn't find any. Looking deeper, I found some of my index fields have a space in between them. I've tried different variations of ^dXE(space)^dXE but cant work it out. I have {XE "some text"}(space){XE "more text"}(space)even more test. When fields are hidden, the 2 spaces look like a double space How do I remove the space but keep the XE field as in {XE "some text"}{XE "more text"}(space)even more text Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance JT |

| Insertion Of Label (ActiveX Control) Now Causes Warning To Appear - Fix Needed Posted: 11 Dec 2014 10:44 PM PST
Hans has given a temporary fix for subject problem here:-
- but the .exd files have to be cleared out every time you want to insert a Label (ActiveX Control).
Can we have a permanent fix for this so that Label (ActiveX Control) can be inserted without having to clear .exd files each time?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

| Posted: 11 Dec 2014 10:06 PM PST I'm trying to access OneDrive within Word for iOS on both an iPhone and iPad. I've successfully logged in but when I try to access the contents, all I get is the message "Folder contents have changed. Your view will be refreshed.". But no documents ever appear. I have already tried resetting and reinstalling Word. What can I do to access OneDrive? |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:53 PM PST Hi, I wonder where I can get a copy of Microsoft Works. Is there anywhere you can get it free? You shouldn't have to pay for it because it's old and unsupported. I have a copy of Works 6 but when I open Microsoft Word it asks for a product key. What can I do? |
| Number formatting in text form controls and using formulae Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:16 PM PST I have a simple form that used the Legacy Tools. The form, amongst other things, summed numbers that users input into preceding cells. The input cells are Text Form Fields where the Type is set to Number and the Number format can be defined. Each cell can also be bookmarked (eg, a , b, c), so that the summing is easily done by inserting a Formula =Sum(a,b,c) and the Number format can also be defined in the Formula. I am now trying to replicate something similar in a new form that contains the Word 2013 Form Controls, but the new tools don't seem to have the Legacy features such as number formatting and bookmarking. I could use the Legacy Tools in the new form, but I thought I read somewhere that the two types shouldn't be mixed in the one form. Is this correct, and if so, is anyone able to suggest how I can achieve my aim using the new Form Controls, please? |
