Word - Mail Merge Labels, subsequent page restarts next record

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 01:18 PM PST

I'm trying to merge an excel table into word to creating mailing labels and when I do I have no problem merging them until I preview my results. Page 1 will have records 1-30 then on page 2 it will have records 2-31, so it repeats 29 of the records on page 2, so on and so on. Help with this issue please.

Word 2010 Mail Merge + Internal Numbering

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 10:34 AM PST

Hi,

I'm working on a mail merge for a relatively complicated document.  I've created my own custom merge templates before, and use them regularly, so I do have some familiarity with the process, but the template I am currently working contains more numbering/formatting requirements  than I've dealt with in the past.

Here's the situation:

The template is for a offical agreement - starts with address block an introduction, and then proceeds to the body of the document which consists of numbered paragraphs:

John Smith

Address

City, State Zip

Dear John:

Welcome.

1. First paragraph

2. Second paragraph

3. Third paragraph

And so on - for a total of about 20-25 paragraphs before my closing. I've processed all the conditional text/formatting throughout the body of the document using IF rules, and am very please with the document. Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 are conditional - they only need to be included for some individuals. I've coded the document as such that the auto paragraph numbering automatically populates on the finished merge document correctly - whether or not the paragraphs are included (i.e. if paragraph 9 is not included, the numbers on the following paragraphs update so no numbers are out of order).

My final step is related to internal numbering within the body of the paragraphs - e.g. within paragraph 15, I reference paragraph 11. However, depending on whether or not paragraphs 8 and 9 are included  paragraph 11 may actually end up being paragraph 9 or 10. I'd like to set-up the internal number to automatically pull in the number as listed at the start of the paragraph, so that the internal number updates to match the paragraph numbering. I'd like to assume this is possible, and I just don't know the coding for it, but I've been playing around and can't seem to master it. Can anyone providing me with the appropraite coding for this, or recommend a way to make this happen? I would like to avoid using the "Ask" function.

Thank you.

Michelle

Mail Merge - Excel to Word nothing showing up

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 09:39 AM PST

When I try the mail merge it won't populate the label doc with anything from my excel spreadsheet; it's completely empty. The original spreadsheet was created on google drive (which I then downloaded and saved as a separate excel spreadsheet) and not sure if that is the problem. I tried saving the spreadsheet as a csv and I tried saving into a word doc and merging from that, but nothing has worked.

Office 365 Word Endnote and Footnote Formatting Not Working

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 07:34 AM PST

Hello All,

 

  I'm trying to format my  endnote/footnotes but the formatting shortcut does not work. If I hover over the formatting hyperlink it will show the  endnote/footnote formatting option window but when I click that nothing happens. If I immediately click the hyperlink (the little angled down arrow under the Footnotes menu thingy) it will insert an endnote. If I try to modify an endnote/footnote by highlighting it ( ->right click-> Note Options" I get a  Microsoft Visual Basic "run-time error '5935' Comments,  endnotes and footnotes can only be added to the main story".  That window gives me the option to "end" or "debug" Debugging brings up the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications program with this statement ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range highlighted in yellow.

Thanks,

Joseph

Merged labels print only one sheet

Reduced size of picture in Word when copying by Bitmap

Posted: 15 Dec 2014 05:28 AM PST

I'm trying to copy a picture from Adobe Photoshop to Word 2010.

Here what I exactly do:

In Photoshop: Open jpg-file, Ctrl A, Ctrl C.

In Word: Paste, Paste Special, Bitmap, OK.

When I copy a small size picture (say, 100 x 100 pixels), I have the same size in Word.

When I copy picture of size 650 x 650 pixels, I have size of 624 x 624 in Word.

I can manually increase size 624 x 624 to 650 x 650 in Word.

But when I copy it from Photoshop, I have reduced size 624 x 624.

The way I check the size in Word is: I copy the picture back to Photoshop and check the size there.

My question is: How could I get in Word original size (say, 650 x 650)?

Thank you

Visual studio Word Addin taking more than 15 seconds to close word

Posted: 14 Dec 2014 10:41 PM PST

I have developed Word addin using visual studio 2012. .net framework is 4.5. It is working fine. Only problem is when user closes the word file it takes around 15 seconds for word to close down after we click on "x".

It closes immediately on my machine. My machines configuration is given below:

  •  .Net framework 4.5.2. - VSTo 10.0.50903 and
  •  operating system is windows 7 64 bit.

While it takes time on clients machine to close (15 seconds or more). Client has following configuration.

  • Visual Studio 2010 tools for office runtime x64 version is 10.0.50325.00
  • Operating system of Citrix Server where they access word.
  • Windows server 2008 R2 enterprise SP1 64 bit - .Net Framework version? 4.5.2

They don't have any other addin installed. When they disable my addin word closes fine.

I have tried with empty project as well but still issue is there. 

Thanks!

Cannot Open Word Documents in Word

Posted: 14 Dec 2014 07:02 AM PST

When I attempt to open a Word document in my OneDrive I have 2 options: 

a. "Open in Word"

b. "Open in Word Online"

I thought I used to be able to use either option but I cannot use option a. When I attempt to do so, it says "An unexpected error has occurred."

I can still open Excel documents via the "Open in Excel" option. I have Word 2013. Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Unable to upload the document in Facebook, "close word since there was an open dialogue box".

Posted: 14 Dec 2014 06:03 AM PST

Original Title <Word error>

I created a word document without any problems and closed the program.

While I was attaching the document in a facebook message i got 2 errors.

One said that i cant close word since there was an open dialogue box.

The other one said that there was a problem saving the document and that it can be caused by low ram,low memory,outdated antivirus or my antivirus is incompatible with word. (As far as I know my antivirus is fine and i have enough memory)

Nevertheless, the file was attached&sent, it was saved just the way i made it and it opens normaly.

How can i fix these problems?
