Microsoft Word - Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Microsoft Word - Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 02:40 PM PST

As I'm typing and I get to the bottom of the page Word normally scrolls up so I can continue to see what I'm typing.  Somehow things switched up and I can't see as I continue to type.  I have to stop typing and either scroll using the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard.  Where can I change this so that it slowly scrolls down as I type?  Does this make sense?  Hope so!

Thank you!

No office icons for Microsoft on Windows 8; no Start menu

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 12:26 PM PST

I downloaded Microsoft Office but without any icons on the desktop nor a start menu, I am feeling a bit lost as to how to use them.  One user on here suggested typing in 'word' on the screen with all the apps, so I can do that and then open a new doc, but it seems a bit circuitous.  Is there a better/easier/more straightforward way to do this?

The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.

I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with a docm file I cannot open due to what seems like the never-ending end tag issue. And should the file have been a docx file in the first place?

And how do I stop this happening again? It's totally frustrating a to lose a whole day's work trying to figure this out. How come MS haven't found a way to prevent it or put an easy fix online? 

Thanks so much.

I'm using Office 2010 and Win 7Pro.  When I want to print one envelope, I select Mailings, click on Envelope and the Envelopes and Labels window appears. After I enter the address and print the envelope, I'm getting !!Mergefield FirstName ¶Ri on the envelope above the recipients address. I have printed multiple envelopes from Excel, Word or Access files and this does not appear. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Corrupted file

What does it mean when Word (2003) tells you that a file is corrupted?  I get that warning whenever I try to save the document.  What is the fix for it?

Compare Documents

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 07:46 AM PST

I am using the compare documents feature in Word. I am comparing 2 versions of a Lease and making my additional changes to the combined document. The problem that I have is that the Lease is over 60 pages long and when I save the changes and take a break I cannot reopen to continue making the edits. I have to start a new combined document. Is there a way to reopen the original compare documents session so that I can just continue to make my edits?

Thank you for any help you can give!!

Automatically Insert Delivery Address in Word 2013

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 06:57 AM PST

In Word 2007, I could highlight an address and then run the envelope macro and Word would automatically add the highlighted address into the Delivery Address field in the envelope macro for printing. I have lost this functionality in Word 2013 and now I have to manually cut and paste the address into the Delivery Address field. 

Can this be fixed in Word 2013 to insert the address automatically or is it lost forever like so many other things that could be accomplished in the older version of the program?

Booklet printing mixed portrait and landscape

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 04:26 AM PST

I have a 20 page word document set up on A4 using Office 2010 on Win7. 18 pages are portrait and the other two are landscape. If I duplex print them on A4 they come out OK but if I try and print a booklet then things don't work out quite as well.

I've tried the set up on two different HP printers as an A4 booklet on a HP4000 and as a A4 and A3 booklet on a HP9500hdn.

I've got headers and footers on all pages and the portrait ones come out ok. The landscape ones contain paste and copy items, one a Excel chart and the other a CAD drawing from Draftsight each having figure numbers added using the "insert caption" tool. They print with the correct orientation, the copied items are placed near the bottom of the long edge, the captions disappear as do the headers and footers disappear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Word tables keep breaking up weirdly

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 04:15 AM PST

I like to write profiles for fictional characters and setting elements that I use in my fanfiction stories. Writing such profiles involves using tables to create "infoboxes" that form a quick list of important information, like the character's birth/legal name (and how it's natively written, if it's not normally written with Roman letter for example), aliases, date and place of birth, height and weight, nationality, likes and dislikes, etc. You can get a good idea of what I'm doing if you look at Wikipedia's infobox templates, like this one.

However, I've come across a strange problem as my table format grew in size. I typically write my profiles in Web Layout, with the table aligned at the right of the page and with the text-wrapping option turned on. At some point in the process of adding new rows to accomodate new fields of information, the table apparently becomes "too big" for Word to handle, and it sort of breaks such that there's a strange gap between the cells along the break, as well as the text that's supposed to be on the same vertical level as the beginning of the table being pushed down until it's below the table. Here is a sample screenshot; the red line indicates the break, and you can clearly an empty gap above the "Introduction" heading. Said heading is supposed to be level with the the top of the table.

As far as I can tell by comparing with Print Layout, the break and the attendant text-pushing seems to happen once the table becomes extended over three pages, even if it's only one row into the third page. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, I would deeply appreciate this; I've been plagued with this problem for a few years now.

documents coming from Readdle documents synced folders open as read only.

Hi there,

I am a mac user, using microsoft word for Ipad (free version) along with Readdle documents. I have within Readle documents some synced folders with dropbox. I can open those documents in Microsoft for Ipad but they appear as read only! Word for Ipad asks me to duplicate but then i have two documents in my dropbox folder. Can that "read only" status be avoided? Please help.

Paragraph spacing in Office 2010 & 2013

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 10:55 PM PST

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out why MS Word want's to put spaces where I don't want them. The way I want my paper formatted is 1.5 pt spacing after with single line spacing for my paragraph, and 0 pt after with 1.5 line spacing after a paragraph. For some reason at like the middle of my page it's deciding to put 1.5 lines after my sentences, which makes the gap between paragraphs look like double. I've tried checking and unchecking don't add space between paragraphs of the same style, with no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pasting using enhanced meta file-Word 2010

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 10:06 PM PST

Whenever I try to paste a Word table on another Word document using enhanced metafile, the image is missing many lines and details.i also used a Macro for pasting as a metafile ( not enhanced) with the same results.

The only way for me to paste a table and be able to resize it is to use the enhanced metafile options. All other paste options do not allow for resizing. The functions within the table tab do not really work for decreasing the size of a table overalI. I have same problem of not being able to resize the table inserting it as an object.

Does anybody know how I could improve the paste using the enhanced metafile ?  

Thanks in advance

Too Many citations

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 05:57 PM PST

I am writing a book with multiple volumes.   Unfortunately, sometimes when I go for the works cited in a volume, it gives me those works plus others cited in other volumes.  How do I limit to only those cited?
