Microsoft Word - Using compare for two documents

Using compare for two documents

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 12:49 PM PST

Hi there,

I have been using compare for two documents this afternoon, and for some reason in one of these docs the font has turned red.  The other has a red line down the left hand side on parts of the text.

I note that there is this red mark against a font, but I cannot turn this off.  I don't know if this is the cause.

Can someone offer help please?

I cannot set Word as the Default program for .docx files

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 12:13 PM PST

Hello, I cannot set Word as the default program for opening .docx files. I am using Windows 8.1 and Office 2010.

I tried right clicking the file and then selected Open With. Word was not an option in the menu so I clicked More Options. There was no Word option in that menu either. A message appeared at the bottom saying "Browse for another App on your PC".  I then browsed for the Word application on my Pc but it does not show up in any of the Microsoft Office folders.

I also tried to set it as the default by going to Control Panel and selecting Programs. From there I selected "Make a file type always open in a specific program". When I scrolled down to the .docx file type there was no option to set its Default program to Word.

Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks for any help

How to remove spaces inside quotes?

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 11:12 AM PST

Is it possible to remove first and last space in sentences in quotes like these:

The man said: " I don't know him. " But he was lying.

I want to remove the space that is in the beginning after the first quote mark (" I) and in the end before the second quote mark (him. ")? I can't use replacements like these: (" ) with (") and ( ") with (") because this will remove the spaces between the sentences.

Styles and formatting in Word 2013 appears to be unstable

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 10:55 AM PST

Microsoft Word 2013 styles appears to be unstable on documents in excess of about 75 pages.  I start to lose formating (text highlighted intermitantly looses highlight, Headings lose styles, etc.).  I reloded the software and it is unchanged.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Gregory K. Maxey's Recently Used Files Edit addin

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 07:17 AM PST

I recently had Graham Mayor recommend to me Gregory K. Maxey's Recently Used Files Edit addin.  I went to Mr. Maxey's webpage, downloaded the Recently Used Files Edit, and extracted it from the WinRAR folder.  Unfortunately, while the addin does work fine, it does not show up in the Add-Ins tab in my Office Word 2007.  To use it I have to go back to the folder I saved the WinRAR folder in and then click on the Recently Used Files Edit.dot that was extracted.  There is apparently NO .exe file for this addin, just the Recently Used Files Edit.dot file.

Does anyone happen to know how to make this addin actually show up in the add-in tab of my QAT ribbon?  Mr. Maxey charges a fee for any advice on using his add-in and I can't afford to pay for something that should come with proper instructions on how to download, install, and use it.

Paste from Google Chrome to Word 2010 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (all latest updates)

Posted: 06 Dec 2014 03:45 AM PST

When I paste a copied image from Google chrome (v39, latest,stable) into Word 2010, The image wrapping is ALWAYS 'in line with text'

I have gone into Options>Advanced Settings>paste image wrap and set it to 'tight'. When I insert a previously downloaded image using the insert button in Word 2010, it does it properly (formats it as tight), however, when I paste from Google Chrome, it ignores my settings and formats it 'in line with text'!

My system is properly updated and running the VERY latest versions of all my programs!!!

Please Help!

Word 2013 cannot open Excel 2013 generated xlsx file

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 09:24 PM PST

I created a Christmas list Excel 2007 file.  After new pc arrived with Windows 8 and Office 2013, I tried to use Word to print mail labels from the Excel file.  When I tried to open the xls file with Word13, it displayed gibberish.  I then saved the xls file as a xlsx file with Excel 2013.  Now Word says it cannot open the xlsx file because it found a problem with its contents.  Excel opens the xlsx file with no problem reported.  How do I get Word to read the Excel file?

XML <Tag> error (Word 2007 document)

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 06:42 AM PST

Hi all experts,

I have a Word document, but I can not open it. Something is going wrong with it.

I'm trying to open, but is not possible. I don't understand why, and I don't know what to do to open it.

The document is created with Word 2007, and when I try to open it I give some windows messages (attached), and when I press OK button, in the end nothing happen! I tried to open it with some online sites in internet but still doesn't work.

In internet I read that exist some small software that make possible to recover Word documents, but for the moment I don't have a computer in my home, and in my office I haven't administrator privileges to install one of this software.

Can someone help me to recover this document. I appreciate a lot if yes, because this document is important for me.

Below is the link for this document.

Thanks in advance.
