Microsoft Word - MS Word: "Figure" caption not visble

Microsoft Word - MS Word: "Figure" caption not visble

MS Word: "Figure" caption not visble

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 09:30 AM PST

Hello Community,

I have been writing my thesis report. I modified the heading to the standard format. I also formatted the "Caption Style" for inserting the caption for figures and tables. As soon as I modified it, I cannot see the text 'figure' or 'table' and also the caption that I add to the figure/table but written text is visible once I press OK.

As attached in the screenshot, the problem is quite visible. Kindly suggest me an solution.

I am using MS Office 2013, on Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015

MACROS in WORD 2010, Windows 7

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 09:15 AM PST

I've created a Macro in Word 2010, which I use (the Macro) very frequently especially in one specific file.

The Macro doesn't work on other Word files.

I've tried to copy the macro to the Normal.dot file, and I supposed that then it should work on any Word file.

It does NOT.

In Window XP,  using the Organizer when the macro was displyed on the screen, I could easily copy it.

Now I can't.  (In Windows 7).

Seek you assitance, please.

TIA

question about "web layout" mode...

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 08:34 AM PST

I have Microsoft Word 2013.

In previous versions, you could set it so that when it opens up a new document, it defaults to "web layout" mode, instead of "print layout" mode.

I haven't been able to accomplish this in Word 2013. How can I set Word so that when it opens up, it's already in "web layout" mode.

Thanks

How to stop screen autoscrolling right when adding comments in Word 2013

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 07:19 AM PST

Hi there,

I'm a proofreader and use Word 2013 to mark up documents and add comments. 

As I use a net book, it's difficult to view the whole document plus the comments pane on the right all on one screen without zooming out so much that the font is no longer legible.

This makes it very frustrating when I'm editing as when I add a comment, the screen autoscrolls to the right so I can only see half of the document and the comments pane, then I have to manually scroll the screen back to the left to continue reading the document.

I don't want this to happen as I need to be able to see what I'm commenting on rather than the comment itself, which I touch type so I don't need to see what I'm typing. Basically, I want to be able to look at the document and type the comment at the same time without the screen moving.

I've tried hiding comments in the view options but as soon as I type another comment, they reappear.

Please can someone let me know whether this is possible as it's driving me nuts and I've looked through all the Options menus and can't find a solution.

Thanks,

Ameesha

Merged documents disappear

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 06:55 AM PST

I worked all day yesterday creating and modifying a document that was created by merging several other documents. I opened the first document, inserted a page break, then used the "insert, object, text from file" option to add the text from another document and so on. When I went to save the document at the end of the day, the box that asks whether you want to save or not kept popping up after I clicked on "save." I was concerned about losing my work, so I saved the document under another name. That name showed up in the list of files in that folder. Later on, I did the same thing, naming the document by a third name. I should have noticed that I was not in the newly named document after I saved as. At the end of the day, I tried to close the document with the same result - the save or not save box kept popping up. I tried repeatedly with the same result. I finally clicked on don't save, thinking that I had saved multiple copies to fall back on.

This morning when I opened the merged document, it was only the original document with none of the documents that I had added and none of my work from yesterday. I tried looking in the "unsaved files" but no files appeared as unsaved. An hourglass was visible when I put the cursor on my original document. I left it that way for more than an hour, hoping that it was just taking time to recover the unsaved file.

I have apparently lost all my work from yesterday. I will not use the "insert text from file" option again, but I would like to know if there is any way to recover the document that I was working on yesterday. I had the document open for at least ten hours. It now appears that the document was a phantom and left no trace.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help.

Thank you,

Can I create a new thesaurus to add to Microsoft Word?

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 05:46 AM PST

Hi,

I work in the environmental sector, and frequently need to quote the latin names of plants in documents. I have an excel spreadsheet set up with the common and latin names of plants in a tables.

I was wondering if there was a feature that would allow me to insert these names into microsoft word, so that the common name can be selected from a list, and clicking on it will insert the latin name into the document (there are over 4000, so entering these names individually to a function would not be feasible). The closest feature I have found that might be able to offer this so far is the thesaurus, however I cannot see a way to edit the thesaurus to add these names in.

I've been googling this for the last hour and I'm out of ideas!

Thanks

Word 2010 Shortcuts on windows 8 randomly stop working, until I close and reopen all windows

Posted: 24 Dec 2014 02:00 AM PST

While working on Word, every so often the keyboard shortcuts (CTRLa, CTRLc, CTRLv)stop working. Only after I close and reopen not only all Word windows, but all Office windows and also all folders - do the  shortcuts magically start working again.

What could be causing this? how can i fix it? 

Thank you! 

Office 365 keeps telling me my acount expired

Posted: 23 Dec 2014 04:43 PM PST

I reinstalled Office 365 on Dec 18th on my computer with a new product key I had purchased. I received confirmation from Microsoft that I had successfully updated my Office until Dec 18, 2015. When I opened Word today, a message came up telling me that Word had expired and most features would be deactivated on Dec 26th. What gives Microsoft? Not only does it do this but when I try to get into my account, I keep getting error messages saying that you can'tidentify my computer. A little help here would be of great assistance. BTW, I have Home Premium and I updated my wife's computer the same day and she is getting the same message about deactivation for Outlook, Word, etc. as am I.
