Microsoft Word - Text boxes in a Word 2007 table shift

Microsoft Word - Text boxes in a Word 2007 table shift

Text boxes in a Word 2007 table shift

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 12:42 PM PST

I have a table which is laid out to use as a job application. I used text boxes in the different sections to input my personal information.

What I've run into is: when I print it or convert it to a .pdf document, a few, but not most, of the text box information is shifting down.

I've adjusted those text boxes in the Word document to be correctly located, but still when printed or converted to .pdf, those text boxes are still shown as shifted down.

Oh, also it happens when I convert the Word document to a .xps document.

Why are only those specific text boxes doing that and how can I fix it?

Another question: I have legal copies of both Office 2007 as well as Office 2010, would it make any difference to use Word 2010 instead?

ViewZoom200 sets view mode to "Draft". Want "Print" mode

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 10:30 AM PST

In Word 2013, the ViewZoom200 command switched the view mode to draft. Is there a way to keep it in the print view mode? (Other than fiddling with the zoom slider?)

I'm looking for a one-click solution to get 200% magnification in print mode. (I used to use page width, but the resolution on my new computer blows that up way to big...)

Thanks.

Too Many Clicks to Open a Document in Word and Excel 2013

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 10:03 AM PST

In Word and Excel 2010, I could click the Open icon in the Quick Access Toolbar and the "Open" navigation window would open, enabling me to go directly where I needed.  All of 2 clicks.

In Word and Excel 2013, it now takes 4 clicks just to get to that "Open" navigation window.  I have to now:

  1. Click the Open icon in the Quick Access Toolbar.
  2. It looks like the File tab opens, and I have to click the Computer icon.
  3. Click the Browse button.

Sure, it's only one more click, but it's annoying.  Is there any way to go directly to the "Open" navigation window?

Also, it appears they took away the "Resent" command from the Quick Access Toolbar.  Again, it's now only 1 more click, but annoying.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

How can I move text in a text box in front of the background/fill of a text box?

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 08:52 AM PST

I created a text box, but the background/fill of the text box is covering and hiding the text in the text box.  How can I move the text in front of the background/fill of the text box?

Styles Window Doesn't Snap in Position in Word 2013

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 08:40 AM PST

In Word 2010, the Styles window would snap into position to the side of the main document work area (like the Navigation pane still does).   This was great, because it automatically resized itself and the document work area horizontally so that they both fit on the screen.  Does that make sense?

It no longer does this.  Instead, it floats over top of everything else. 

Was this feature removed in Word 2013?

THANKS!

Sorting problem A1 A10 A2

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 08:03 AM PST

Hello,

Here's my sorting issue. Using MS Word 2010, we often work with simple tables with several columns. One column we have contains patient room numbers. We need to sort those room numbers, but instead of getting this order: A1, A2, A10, etc., we get this order: A1, A10, A2, etc. I understand how to sort but choosing the numbers sorting does not work since there is a letter before each number. How can I sort the  numbers properly when there is a letter just before each number? Thanks!

Installation language - Office

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 06:38 AM PST

When I installed Office Home & Student 2013 the wrong language was requested. I have uninstalled it now but when I tried to re install it came up with the same language with no options to change it.

No Spacing style removes formatting and other styles

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 06:19 AM PST

I like to use the No Spacing style at the start of a document because it changes line spacing to single and spacing before and after paragraphs to 0 pts. much similar to the old Word 2003 defaults. However, if I have already typed a document, press CTRL+A, and click No Spacing from the Styles gallery, any alignment I used in the document, such as centering a line, and any styles I used in the document, such as Heading 1 or 2 styles, are removed. If I applied manual formatting, such as bold and font color, that formatting is unaffected.

Why does No Spacing style remove other styles rather than simply changing line spacing and spacing before/after paragraphs? Is there a way to have No Spacing change only line spacing and spacing before/after paragraphs? Thanks in advance.

Cannot make Print Layout view use the facing/mirror page layout even when "zoomed" to multiple pages

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 06:02 AM PST

I am using Office 365 (Personal) Word.

I am working on a book/brochure type document and want to view it as it would be printed or read while I edit it.

I have set the page layout (margins) to use mirroring.  Neither "Print Layout" nor "Read Mode" respect the page layout I have chosen.  I cannot find where to make the view behave correctly.  Selecting the "zoom" for "multiple pages" doesn't work and there doesn't seem to be any other related options.  Having a search function for the commands list on the customisation ribbon dialog would be helpful.

The only way to see the document in a print layout, as it should be printed, is via the print preview.  I will have to continuously check the print preview to be sure that my layout is correct.  I can't split the view and use the print preview there, either.

It seems like a logical enough thing to me, that "Print Layout" and "Multiple Pages" should respect the page layout for facing/mirrored pages.  OpenOffice and LibreOffice do it and very likely every other word processor in the wild.  I'm almost certain Word used to do it, too but I can't be entirely certain.

How can I make the view behave correctly?

Daniel.

Help me stop the many steps to opening a document

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 05:41 AM PST

When I want to open Microsoft Office Word (2007), and click on it's icon, I get a permissions box titled User Account Control, asking me if I want to allow the following program to make changes to my computer? The program is Microsoft Corporation. If I click NO - word does not open. If I click yes, Word opens a blank document.

If I begin this process from my documents; several other steps are required to open the file I want. From My Documents, I click the file I want to open. The same User Account Control box opens, asking me if I want to allow Microsoft Corporation to make changes to my computer. If I click No - the file will not open. If I click yes, I get a message from C:\\****\documents\**** (personal info displays where I have entered the spacers). Another box opens with a large red X saying there is a problem sending the command to the program - however the document continues to TRY to open - only displaying as a blue document with no print. I then have to go again to the Office button, click on the file I want opened to FINALLY get the file to open.

Do I have a permissions problem, and sync problem, a download problem? Please, this is frustrating and I need help.

 

Hindi Numbers in 2007 Office

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 02:45 AM PST

Hi, My office is 2007 and I'm unable to write Hindi numbers although I write Arabic without any problem. The options of right-to-left language are not even enabled in Word Options Menu. When I tried online Help, It just says that these options are not enabled because you don't have right-to-left language enabled for text editing. Anyone can help on this please?

balance a centered paragraph

Posted: 31 Dec 2014 02:34 AM PST

If I center a paragraph, the last line may be much smaller than the other lines. Is there a way to somehow automatically balance the lines, to make sure they all have pretty much the same length? Thanks!

Microsoft Word 2003 Czech Proof

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 11:02 PM PST

I am experiencing an interesting problem with Word 2003.

Background:

Previously used MSWorks 4.0 Czech version and Word 2003 English version on a Windows 7 platform.

Word 2003 was able to identify and use MSworks dictionary and therefore allow Czech language spell checking.

New installation:

Windows 8. MSWorks 4.0 does not work (incompatible).

Word 2003 is fully functional with no issues.

Copying the Czech dictionary across does not work.

Installing the Microsoft Czech Grammar checker : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13457 shows this is installed (no errors) but  does not identify the Czech language or dictionary.

Any ideas of how to work around this problem

The user is a mildly disabled 74 year old who struggles with change and would prefer to continue using Word 2003 as long as possible.

Opening MS Office 2007 Word documents.

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 10:29 PM PST

When I try to open a Word document from the Recent Items list I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program." When I click on OK a second error message is received saying " Wordpad can't open this document. This document is either corrupt or protected under Rights Management."

After I click OK and close the window I can then open the document without any error messages being received.

I have been opening this document every day for the last year without difficulty. The problem started after the last Window's Update. Does anyone know how to cure the problem?

How do I cause a Word 2003 table disappear if a bookmark in the table has nothing in it.

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 03:28 PM PST

I have  to deal with Word 2003 documents created from customized document templates. I have complete control over the templates, so I can make any  changes to them that I need to achieve my goal.

Here is my problem:

I have tables with (usually) two rows in them. The first row contains static text defined in the document template that is used to create the document - it never changes. It usually consists of one cell, but some tables may have more than one cell in the first row. The first row is set with a background color to make it visibly distinct from the other rows.

The second row is always one cell, and contains a single bookmark. Any text that goes into this cell is put inside the bookmark. Sometimes this bookmark has nothing in it, and that is the important point.

Sometimes a third row appears.

What I need to do is to make the entire table disappear from the printout of the document if the bookmark in the second row has nothing in it.

A variation would be to make the table disappear if the bookmark contains a specific text string.

The table must have visible borders when it is visible.

This looks like a job for a VB macro that controls font visibility setting for the table.  I wrote a lot of VB 6 code at one time, but I am not very familiar with the details of the objects and functions that are used for Word macros, but I will be able to use and modify a good example.
