Microsoft Word - cannot repair microsoft word 2013

cannot repair microsoft word 2013

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 01:46 PM PST

I made some changes to Microsoft word 2013 program (I forgot what), now I could not open word.   I received an error messages " Word has run into an error that preventing from working correctly.  word will be closed as a result.  Would you like us to repair now?"    I repaired Microsoft Office several times, but still got the same error message when I try to open word 2013 from Start page.    


1.  The error does not affect Microsoft Excel.   It works fine. 

2,  I found out I could run Microsoft Word 2013 as administrator.   I de-activated add-ins as other post suggested.   But it does not correct the error.


Please help.

Office Home and Student 2010

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST

Hello.

I recently had to send my laptop for repair to PC world (have insurance). Whilst trying to print off a word document the other day I found I was unable to perform any tasks other than to view my documents. I tried uninstalling the programme and re installing it but when I open any docs it comes up with an activation message. When I try to activate I get an error message 0x8007000D.

Does anyone know what this means and how I can get my office back to how it was?

Thank you in advance,

Phil.

"something went wrong" message pops up when i'm trying to install office 2013

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST

Trying to install office 2013. The internet cut out mid-process and now when I try to continue the installation a message pops up saying that something went wrong and that "office is busy right now because your product is busy with another task".

Have tried restarting the computer and opening task manager but there doesn't seem to be any other tasks running.
How can I resolve this?

Lost Word(2013) docx file, Win 8.1

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST

While working on this document for several hours. and manually saving it, (20x to desktop),  it now has disappeared from the  computer.  Things I have done so far:  Search This PC for the document on C:, E: and local network for:  *.docx ,  ~*.* , *.asd, *.tmp, unsaved documents, recent documents, nothing in recycle bin, etc.  The only hint of its once existence is a short cut for the file, but when I open it, Windows says it no longer exists or has been moved.  Appreciate any solutions!  tx

Every word document disappeared that was inside my dropbox folder?

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 06:55 AM PST

I've had the most confusing thing happen. I restarted my computer a few hours ago and when I logged back in, every word document inside my dropbox folder had vanished. 

Thankfully the word documents were backed up in two other 'clouds' but it has left me a little stunned.

Does anyone have a clue how this would happen?

I have a very good understanding of computers and I only say that so that nobody recommends that I check my recycle bin. I am positive that the files are not hidden or relocated. They are simply not there. 

I have NIS for virus protection (it shows no history of a virus)
I'm running windows 8.1 on pure SSD
There hasn't been any recent modifications or program installs for over a week.

Lastly, the word documents were spread throughout many folders inside dropbox so it wasn't like a folder was deleted. It basically looks like dropbox decided that it didn't want to keep my word documents anymore and just did away with them. There is history of me accessing these files inside word, but they obviously no longer are linked to a file anymore. 

Thanks in advance

Is there any way to re-size the columns of multiple tables simultaneously?

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 06:20 AM PST

Hi All,

I am wondering is there any way to re-size the columns of multiple table simultaneously?

For example, is it possible for me to adjust the first column of the 2nd to 4th tables together in a go so that they can align to the first column of the first table?

I have to drag the column borders of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th table one by one in order to adjust the width of the first column to be same as that of the 1st table.

In essence, I'd like to know is there any fast way for me to select multiple tables and adjust the formatting of them in one go, rather that selecting and adjusting them one by one?

Thank you very much!

Add non-changing date field code

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 06:13 AM PST

For school projects, I like to use a standard word template.
I've recently stumbled upon a problem, regarding the field codes I use.
A standard date field code is located in the header, which is great as it states the date I started the project. Sadly, I found out that it also updates with every edit and reading session. Therefore, it will not display the original date the document was created on.

Is there any way to change this behavior? It is, frankly, most irritating, as it even updates when my teachers are to correct the document later on. I do, however, continue to use an automatic layout like this.

Generating a Bill of material; any better solution?

Posted: 31 Dec 2013 05:11 PM PST

I'm working on a project and I think my nose is so stuck to the tree right now ... i lack perspective and ideas!

Here is the situation. Sales rep prepare documents that discuss clients' technology situation, and offer solutions in some form of proposal. These documents get reviewed modified and eventually become an annex to a formal contract.

Throughout the proposal, a lot of material, services and equipment is mentionned either inline with the text when its a single item (e.g. a power bar) or within matrices (since selling a server means in fact a whole bunch of components some standard some being upgrades).

There is already a document template for the bill of material. What is needed is the methodology to get the material services and upgrades from the proposal neatly listed in that BOM.

I want it to be easily updated. It will be used by the client to accept delivery and by technician to load up their trucks before service calls. 
It must also be easy for the sales rep to mark the equipment within the text of the proposal.

SOLUTIONS EXPLORED
I don't want page numbers to appear. That unfortunately eliminates the Table of Authorities which seemed the simplest way to get my 3 distinct lists. Index is also ruled out for the same reason 
\n does not seem to remove the page numbers 

Bibliography could have been an interesting option but it won't take spaces in the tag, adds ( ) and repurposing the dialog would be hazardous

End notes do not grab the text.

So that leaves me with TOC.


MY BEST IDEA (which I would not mind overthrown)

1- Use the style separator (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285059) to single out the text i want listed
2- Apply style Title7, 8 and 9 according to type of product: equipment, service or upgrade
3- Generate 3 TOC (each showing all 9 levels but in options, only title7 (or 8 or 9) has a TM order number (7,8,9) and those are identically formated.

I do not like the playing with style separator. It is not really easy to understand how it works especially within paragraphs that exist already or have bullets or special formats. I'm not sure I can control and avoid, even putting it in a proper sequence in a macro button, how the user with manage to sc*** it up.

How can I generate that TOC in the BOM template, for the right proposal?  I might use document properties to input a proposal/contract number?


Any idea anyone??

how do I enable all the fonts for office 2003?

Posted: 14 Feb 2006 09:46 PM PST

Hi Brian,

The Centaur Font is included in Office 2003 Professional Edition (which includes Publisher 2003). A number of fonts are Publisher
related that are included on the list at http://microsoft.com/typography/fonts/product.aspx?PID=143

In MS Office in Add/Remove Programs there are fonts included in the Advanced Options under Office Shared Features, and International
Features, as an example.

===========
<<"Wheels" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
hello,

I bought and installed office 2003 (student and teacher edition) and am
having troubles accessing all the fonts that come with it. I'm trying to use
the Centaur font, which currently is not included in the drop down list when
I use Word. I searched through scores of office webpages to see which fonts
are included, and it turns out that this particular font IS included. But why
can't I use it I'm wondering, and how can I get it to work?

If you're reading this, you might be wondering what I've tried so far. Well,
I put in the installation CD, ran it and opted for the "add/remove features"
program. When I installed the software to begin with, I believe I did a full
install. Anyway, having gone back and trying to make sure all the fonts are
installed, I came across one big problem! Where in the world is there even an
option that even refers to "fonts"!? I looked through all the options, and
found nothing which indicates there is even a means of installing all the
fonts via "adding features" from the Office installation CD.

Can anyone please help!?

Many thanks...
Brian>>

Actually Office 2003 requires Win 2000 or Win XP. It will NOT work on Win
ME. No way around it. Hopefully you haven't opened the box. But if you did
and the store will not take it back, and it was a very recent purchase,
there may be another option.

Office 2003 crash on open dialog

Posted: 13 Feb 2006 06:56 AM PST

Many thanks for your response - I'll try out those references. Actually Word
does crash - and it pops up the 'send details to MS' dialog, then restarts
and recovers the file. It does the same thing in Options. I wonder whether
this is due to the rather complex permissions that get applied to the
Redirected folders by GP. However, I think we should be able to move the
location of these folders when disk space/server availability dictates.

As you suggested I used the "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".

After that I installed Office2003 and it seems to be working perfectly for

Hi Justin,

There are plenty of good reasons why people plunk down money for
Microsoft and Apple products when Sun Microsystems provides OpenOffice
and Google provides Google Docs for free.

The free products offer only a subset of the features of Microsoft
Office or iWork, and the free interfaces are geeky by comparison. For
people who need only basic functionality and compatibility, the free
products may be adequate. Based on the marketplace, the vast majority of
Mac users prefer the Microsoft and Apple offerings even though they are
not free.

Right off the bat you don't get the Microsoft fonts, templates, or clip
art with the free products. Charts don't work the same way. Object
formatting is primitive by comparison. The free stuff is free, but if
you expect people to switch to the free stuff it has to be at least as
good if not better than what they have now. The free stuff is OK, but it
has a long way to go before it can compete with Microsoft and Apple
offerings.

Sometimes open source has great alternatives to commercial products.
FireFox and Audacity come to mind. I don't think OpenOffice, NeoOffice
or Google docs are competitive with Microsoft Office, which continues to
evolve for the better in many ways.

Hi colby,

In what format are the files when you email them? If they're in PDF format, the default app for opening such files on a PC is likely
to be Adobe Reader. Word can't read PDFs. If the files are in Doc format, the default app for opening such files on a PC is likely
to be Word (or another word processor), but a file association error on the PC could cause Adobe Reader to try to open them.

Diane is right about the Home & Student Edition being the most economical
based on the circumstances you describe, but just to clarify a bit...

There is no upgrade pricing for that edition ‹ it would be an outright
purchase of Office 2008. Still cheaper than upgrading to another Edition
that includes only one license, let alone having to purchase additional
copies for the other systems.

Also, the H/S licenses are restricted to personal ("non-commercial") use,
which may be of no concern for you.

get stalled when it hits the corruption and doesn't get further data.

It's possible you can run a utility on the drive and map out the bad blocks,
but I would change it out or boot from an external drive.

Good luck with your recovery.
