Paginating large documents

I have a large document (over 600 pages) which includes many sections. When I try to add page numbers (same way I have always  successfully done it) nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Pictures not showing in Word 2013, no problem with same file in word 2010

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 01:17 PM PST

I have a large word file with numerous pictures inserted as TIFF files. In Word 2010, the pictures are all visible on screen and when I print them. However, when opening the same file (saved as docx or doc - I've tried both) in Word 2013 not all pictures are visible and they don't convert to pdf or print out either. It varies between which ones are and which aren't so I don't think its a problem with the pictures themselves. The pictures come up as either blank white boxes or with a little red cross and the statement 'error picture cannot be displayed'.

All files are less than half a page and therefore shouldn't be affected by the error involving multipage TIFF files that I've seen mentioned.

I've formatted them as 'tight', however I've tried the other options and this doesn't appear to change anything. 

I've also been through the advanced settings options and deselected 'show pictures as placeholders'.

I'm not sure what else to do - I've tried playing around with all sorts including changing privacy options within the trust center. Any advice would be very much appreciated - I wish I'd just stuck with Word 2010!

Many thanks

How can I copy the list of headings (and headings only) in Navigation Pane w/o copying each heading one by one?

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST

How can I copy the list of headings (and headings only) in Navigation Pane w/o copying each heading one by one? My list of headings for a long doc is a great outline for this doc. How do I copy these headings into a separate doc (a doc with only the headings)?

I looked online and all I could find one a 3rd party Word/Office add-in that looked real sketchy (as in likely to infect my PC). Thanks. 

Memory issues in Word 2013

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 10:36 AM PST

My wife has a large Word document (over 1000 pages with numerous pictures) and when she works with the document she does some copy and pasting.  There are many times that she gets an error message that she is out of memory.  She is using a PC with Win 7 amd Office 2013 (was using Office 2007 with same problem).  The PC had 8 GB of ram so I increased the ram to 16 GB but she still has the same problem.

Does anyone know why she is getting the error message and what can be done to eliminate the problem?

 

Excel Word Mail Merge: Date Formatting Errors (Windows PC vs. Mac)

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 10:01 AM PST

I am working on what should be an extremely simple problem, but which is driving me to a murderous rage.

I have a very simple spreadsheet: (See below)

List of names in first column + ~20 columns, each representing an event

Each cell is filled with a date when an individual attends an event.  Each column has been formatted as numbers.

However... as shown, if I don't know the exact date of attendance, I insert placeholder text, like an X, o, or "skip"

Sometimes if there are two dates, I enter them as text with a semicolon. 

I need to create a very simple mail merge document, showing a single individual's attendance.  All I need is for the dates to show up in the mail merge.  And when I do this on a Mac using Excel for Mac 2011, it works perfectly.  (See below.)

HOWEVER, for some unfathomable reason, when I do it on a PC running MS Office 2010, this is the result I get:

A bewilderingly random mishmash of dates, times, serial numbers, and placeholders...

After spending hours in the help forums, I have thus far:

- played around with the field coding (i.e. adding \@ "MM/dd/yyyy")

- tried removing all placeholders from the column and assuring only dates appear in the column

- tried merging using DDS

- added a first row to the database that is formatted correctly with no blanks or placeholders

Can anyone help me figure out what on earth I am missing here?

Selecting one Value in a userform and have another value placed in the text field of a word document.

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 09:48 AM PST

I guess i'm just slow when it comes to VBA..  But i've looked all over the net for examples of code where

i tab into a field on a form, a userform pops up with my list of options, select an option but a different value 

goes into the field.

I went to http://www.gmayor.com/Userform.htm

and looked here, but i just don't understand the code.

this is the code format that i'm using now

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("MNP").Result = Me.ListBox1.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.Caption = "Select Missing Person Code"
    With Me.ListBox1
        .TabIndex = 0
        .AddItem ""
        .AddItem "Amber Alert"
        .AddItem "Child Abduction"
        .AddItem "Disaster Victim"

        .AddItem "Missing Person"
        .ListIndex = -1
    End With
End Sub

What i want to do, is when you Select Amber Alert from the userform, it actually places "AA" in the MNP field in my word document.

Publisher 2013 Flyer publishes chopped up

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 07:41 AM PST

I have Publisher 2013 and Outlook 2013. I created a flyer with a background.  When the flyer publishes to email, the flyer displays differently than it looks in publisher.  The background shows in strips and the pictures & text are not in place.  I have run design checker several times and it says there are no problems with the publication.  How can I fix this?

Live contact list usage for mailings

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 07:24 AM PST

Word 2010 uses the contact list for mailings that is found in Outlook. I want to switch from Outlook to Windows live mail and use the contact list from that feature.

How do I:

Keep the Windows live mail contacts synchronized with Outlook 2010?

    OR

Get the contact list from Windows Live Mail contact list into Word 2010 for use with the mailings feature?

can't create a label or insert an address using the Mailings tab and accessing the address book

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 05:53 AM PST

When I try to create a label or insert an address using the Mailings tab and accessing the address book I can't get to see the address in the address address book, all I see is either Phone numbers or Email of any of my contacts there in. I had it working fine before, I don't know what has changed, maybe I should outline my steps and what I have encountered  (these steps always worked before!) "***THIS IS NOT A MAIL MERGE ISSUE" IT HAPPENS WHEN CREATING A SINGLE ENVELOPE OR LABEL"

 

1) I open word 2010

2) select "Mailing"

3) select Envelopes or Labels

4) Envelopes and Labels form pops up

5) Click on delivery address

6) Select Name pops up

7) type the name and click go (search Name only or more columns, same results )

8) it shows only full name and email or phone #, no address info!!

Hope this give you a better idea of what is happening! Thanks

Office365 on iPAD with DropBox problem.

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 04:45 AM PST

I have a customer who has the Office365 Business Essentials subscription.

The customer also has a free dropbox account

When he tries to edit a document that is located in dropbox from his iPAD he is continuously asked for login details.

He tried his Office365 credentials but without any luck. Also trying his Dropbox credentials do not work.

He now see the following message: 'you can view documents for free but this account doesn't allow editing on your ipad…….contact your organisation about your Office 365 plan.'

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Foglihtenno01 font wont print

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 02:58 AM PST

Hi

I downloaded the FoglihtenNo01 font and it printed fine from Word 10. Now when I try to print the document comes out of the printer blank. Other fonts are printing fine. I can see it on the screen but it wont print from word or power point. I am not doing anything different from before so don't understand why it worked and now doesn't, any ideas how to fix?  I have tried saving as pdf and it prints from there but font looks slightly different and not good enough quality for wedding invitations.

Thank you.

Office Mobile for Android - Issue with Login to OneDrive

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 12:19 AM PST

Hello,

I am posting a question regarding Microsoft Office Mobile for Android phone.  I have been using Office Mobile for some time now, and believe that I started to use it at least 6-7 months ago without difficulty.  Seven days ago (12/12/2014), I began to encounter an error message with use of Office Mobile.

Initial problem 12/12/2014: Files recently added to OneDrive would not show up on Office Mobile (android phone). 

Files added to One Drive: would not show up on Office Mobile (android phone).

Files saved on Office Mobile (android phone) would show up on OneDrive.

There were non accessibility problems with OneDrive.

I could create new files on Office Mobile; however, after creating a new file, the following error message would show up: "Can't complete task.  Office Mobile encountered a problem"  Two button options existed in the error window, either "Cancel", or "Retry".

If I clicked "Cancel", I could proceed to keep creating documents on Office Mobile (Android phone); however, documents added on OneDrive would never show up on my document list on Office Mobile (Android phone).

I eventually reinstalled the program to try and resolve the issues.  Now, when I try to login to my account on Office Mobile, I receive the same error message: Can't complete task.  Office Mobile encountered a problem"  Two button options existed in the error window, either "Cancel", or "Retry".

I now am unable to access *ANY* of the files on OneDrive with Office Mobile, and the file location cannot even be accessed from my Android / Office Mobile.  Attempts to login to the OneDrive on Office mobile give the same error as above.

Over this entire time, I could access OneDrive fine, and directly edit / modify files on OneDrive.  The error seems to arise when I try to link my Android phone (Office Mobile) with the files on my OneDrive Account, generating the error.

Interestingly, I have been able to add a DropBox account successfully to OfficeMobile, and access all files on my DropBox account without difficulty.  When I try to add the OneDrive account, the error messages arise.

I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the application at least 3 times without improvement of the situation.  I have also tried deleting the data/cache without uninstalling Office Mobile, which has also not resolved the problem.  Under "Settings" --> "Accounts", a "Microsoft" account is listed after I login for the first time; however, I seem to be unable to access the files on OneDrive associated with the account.  If I remove the "Microsoft" account from my phone, and re-log in, the account shows up again, but I still encounter the same error message on Office Mobile.

Thank you for this application, it has been very useful to me over the time I have used it.  I appreciate any suggestions you have so that I can resume working with OneDrive.

Show Privacy Options

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 03:54 PM PST

Microsoft Word 2010 or 2013 both 32 bit. Windows 7 or 8.1 either 32 or 64 bit.

I have a need to quickly check the status of 'Remove Personal Information' in the Trust Center>>Privacy Options when I open a Word file.

  • I tried adding the Privacy Options to the QAT, and to a new group in the Ribbon. While the icon is added, clicking it just brings up a blank dialog.
  • I tried recording a macro, but because you need to OK or cancel the Privacy Options dialog to stop the macro recorder, nothing get recorded in the macro when I go into the VBA editor.

  1. Is the blank Privacy Options dialog a Microsoft bug?
  2. Does anyone have a quick method for checking the RPI status w/o going through all of the File menu options?

Thank you,

Sue
