Word 2010 Template - Double Click Opens new Template, not a Document

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 03:22 PM PST

When I double click on a Word template, the document that opens as a .dotx file, not a .docx file.  This happens on canned templates as well as templates that I have saved.   I have tried running a "Repair" on Microsoft office with no success.

 

Any ideas?

How do I print "2 pages per sheet" properly? It comes out a mess!! (Pics inside)

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 01:46 PM PST



Please review my settings at the top, I swear they SHOULD BE CORRECT. I've done this before, but I remember it being a HUGE hassle...and didn't seem like it needed to be :(

Can anyone assist? I'm trying to make it look like HOW IT IS in the HP Printer Options preview....two 5.5" x 8" docs side-by-side...TWO PER SHEET.

THANK YOU!!!

Change indent in the first line of every paragraph?

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 12:38 PM PST

Does anyone know if you can change the indent of the first line of every paragraph in a Word document already indented by default?  I have tried MS help but it has been futile.


Thank you.

Watermark visibility on paper

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST

I've encountered a small problem wit my watermarking of documents.
In the background of every document I make, there is a faint Weierstrass p (℘) in the background based on the template I use.
However, I've discovered that its visibility varies when I print the document. I use the text color named "White, Background 1, 5% darker" (r/g/b 242), which is quite weak, but not too weak, as I want it to be somewhat faint and thereby not dominating. I've also hooked it up to be partially transparent.

Here is the deal: Whenever i print a blank page with little on no text the watermark is fine. If I use the automatic color setting on the printer, it is slightly lighter, but still tolerable. Unfortunately, if the page is covered with text, then a black-and-white print will have it considerably weaker. The same document printed with color will make the entire watermark disappear.

Is there someway to change this behavior, so the watermark stays non-dominating but still slightly visible on both a black-and-white and a print with color?

Word 2010, tables getting cut off and can't change "keep with next" paragraph option

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 11:34 AM PST

I am exported a document from a database to Word.  The table is getting cut off the page and does not wrap to the next page.  When I go to the Outline view I can see all the text, but in the print view it just disappears from the page.  I have tried going the following with no success

  1. The file is saved as a .docx
  2. Table properties/table/wrap
  3. Row properties is marked to break across pages
  4. Paragraph...all the options are dark blue, not checked or unchecked.  I think if I could uncheck "Keep lines together" the table may display properly.  So when I click twice to make it unchecked, then select OK or I have even tried it as default, when I return to the option it just shows dark blue again.  By the way, anyone know what the dark blue box means?
  5. This is a personal computer so I should have the admin rights necessary to change this.  For Word 2010, I have given Everyone full permission, yet I still can't change these settings.
Any ideas how I can get the table to fully display across pages and/or how I can change the paragraph options.

thanks....

Word is Gone

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 11:16 AM PST

I got a new laptop with windows 8.1, I'm new to the whole windows tile experience and felt overwhelmed by it, so in cleaning up all the tiles I felt I'd never use I think I've uninstalled the word program. I still want to view and edit documents, and it came with my computer, so is there a way to get it back without paying for it?

Tables mixing up in word

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 10:01 AM PST

I've had a recurring issue where i'm creating a specification document which contains several basic tables. A table may be on a number of pages.

For instance if table A is on pages 1 and 2 and table B is on pages 3 and 4. When i add table C it sometimes puts a blank page (page 5) and starts table C on page 6.  When i try and remove page 5 the first part of table C sites in the middle of table B whilst the rest sits correctly on the new page 5.

 

I've tried various page break set ups but never seem to able to stop this happening and end up starting the document from new.

 

Any advice????? Cheers  

"Do you also want to save changes to the document template?"

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 09:32 AM PST

I am working on a document that was created as a new document in Word 2013.  After starting the document, I went to the Design tab and applied a style that I had previously inserted into the QuickStyles folder from previous Word versions, and applied the Style Set to the new document.  

Whenever I change the document, though, it prompts me with the question: "Do you also want to save changes to the document template?"

I always choose "no," and I would like to disable that question in some way.  Any ideas?

Document formatted differently on Win7 O2010 than Win7 O2007, XP O2010 and XP O2007

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 09:04 AM PST

User sent us a Word document to post to our web site.  She believes she edited it last in Office 2007.  It does not render properly in the combination of Windows 7 and Office 2010.


We've tried the document on

Windows 7, Office 2010 = 3 pages

Windows XP, Office 2010 = 2 pages

Windows XP, Office 2007 = 2 pages


The attempts were not done on the user's computer so whatever template it may be referencing is inconsequential since it doesn't exist on any of our test computers but renders correctly on two.

Font and windows on Office Word changes very unstable

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 06:59 AM PST

I have Windows 8 and Student Office 2007. My font continually changes while I am working on the document. I don't do anything to make this change. Sometimes it goes from small to large and vice versa. Sometimes when I set the size to 12 or 14 it still comes out  really small. When I print it out though it comes our large, sometimes too large since I increased the size to accommodate the document while it's still on the computer. I can't help but think it is an issue with Windows 8. I can't go to 8.1 because it causes my Internet Explorer to stop working and it won't work with Family Tree Maker. I have had to do a full recovery twice. 

Directory name is invalid on word following windows 8.1 update

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 05:30 AM PST

I have been working on a document for the past few weeks on Microsoft word, yesterday I received a message telling me to update my computer to windows 8.1, I did this and restarted my computer. When I came back to my computer and went onto Skydrive to find my document it and at least one other were not there (not on skydrive on my computer or online)  the only place I can find the document is when going onto Word and trying to open recent documents at which I get the following message: 
 The Directory name is not valid:
 (C:/Users/Lucy/.../draft 1 essay 1.doc) 

This document is very very important and any help would be really appreciated!

Word 2010 stopped showing .eps files

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 03:13 AM PST

Hello people of the internet,

I work in IT support and have a customer who suddenly can't view her .eps files in Word 2010 and the entire office pack.
It's a thing that suddenly just stopped working. Until a couple of weeks ago, there was no problem at all.

She is accessing Word through Citrix which connects to our terminal server. The problem is on the server itself and trough Citrix.
Iv'e been seaching trough almost the intire google, and none of the answers seems to help. I've tryed reinstall the filter, reinstall Office, checking the file block settings in Word, making it a .doc document. But nothing seems to be working.
If i download the files to my own pc, Word opens it without any problem, both 2010 and 2013.
If i convert the .eps files into .png etc. (wihch is not an acceptable solution), Word opens it without problems too,.

Office and the server is fully updated etc.

Do mind that all this is running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard terminal server.

You would save my day if you could come up with the soloution!


Thank you,
Rasmus Gyldenvang

Word 2013 : Changing which thesaurus is used in word

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 06:56 PM PST

I opened the thesaurus for the first time today and it asked me to select bing, dictionary or something else. I chose bing, but I don't like its results. I want to change to use another provider but I can't figure out how. I am using English(Australia) as my language but the thesaurus is using English(United Kingom) because Australia wasn't available.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

Microsoft Word 2013 randomly stops and goes into "Not Responding" Mode.

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 05:33 PM PST

Hello,

I have been struggling with an issue with my 2013 office. Whenever I use 2013 Word and use it for around 5-10 minutes, or hit save after making multiple edits to any documents after 5-10 minutes, typically around the same period of time. Word freezes and goes into not responding mode. It doesn't save any progress I made. I haven't attempted to work with any of the other programs, I have the professional suite. I've dealt with support twice on this issue and even had them take control of my machine and look into it themselves. We ended up force uninstalling word 2013 as it would not allow me to simply uninstall it via control panel programs and features. We were able to successfully install it without any issues and it was working fine for the first couple days. And after not using it for about a week, now the same issue is reoccurring and I can reproduce the error with ease. 

I cannot find any similar issues specifically related with this details for any other customers. If I do not receive any resolutions shortly, I will have to bring my machine to the Microsoft store for them to investigate my machine and see what the occurrence is. If anything, the file being downloaded is corrupted as I do not have any issues with any other files whatsoever on my machine.

Mail Merge Template with Auto Numbering

  1.  
  2.  
  3.  

I see:

Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?

How Do You Set Details View When Opening/Viewing Templates in MS Word 2010?

Posted: 02 Jan 2014 03:26 PM PST

I would like to be able to see the Details View of files when I choose to create a new/view choices for MS Word Template documents, in the Explorer view that comes up when saving or opening a Word document file. See screenshots below. In other words, when I try to view or open previous or existing Word templates, I am only shown the large icon layout view, and I have no other choices as I normally do when opening/viewing/saving Word documents. How can the inner "Word Explorer" view be changed to Details view?

This is the problematic view I'm trying to change:




And this is the kind of view I want:

Re: Could I save the resume with a .doc extension, or must I use .rtf?

Yes..... you can save with .doc extension.

As you notice there is many selections you can use. I suggested .rtf as
most if not all word processors can open this type of file.

Guido offered the best solution. Using PDF is a guarantee the reader will
view your resume exactly the same as you created it.

Effectively, PDF takes a picture of the document. When somebody opens the
PDF document they will see the same thing you see.

You might want to download and install this: http://www.openoffice.org/
It is much more than a viewer, and it is able to convert and open files
produced by a variety of word processing programs. In addition, if you so
choose, you can edit the document. BTW, it's free. I still prefer to use
my old Works 4.5, old habits die hard. I also have a Word viewer installed.
By default it will try and open attachments such as you describe. I really
need to change that association to Open Office because I think it works
better, just too lazy I guess.

Autorun Wks Calendar?

Posted: 05 Jun 2007 05:32 AM PDT

To create a shortcut to works calendar....

On the desktop, choose Start, then select Programs, on it's expanded menu
select Microsoft Works, on it's expanding menu right click Microsoft Works
Calendar, in the popup dialog select Send To, on it's menu choose Desktop
(create shortcut).

Confirm calendar opens when double clicking the now new Works Calendar icon
on your desktop.

Now lets find the Startup folder....

On the desktop, choose Start, then select Programs, on it's expanded menu
right click Startup, on it's popup dialog choose Properties, you should now
be able to find the path for the location of the Startup folder.

Now lets put the calendar shortcut icon into the Startup folder.

Navigate to the Startup folder, size the screen so you can see both the
folder and the desktop, while holding down the Right mouse button drag the
Works Calendar icon into the startup folder.

Hope this helps,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I assume you talking about Project? You could pre-print the pages with a
watermark using Word. Then Over-print your project pages. (Or vice versa.)

For pity's sake ...

It's not Project's fault - all applications pick up their available paper
size information from the printer driver. Go to the printer settings in the
Windows Start menu, select your installed printer and view its properties.
You'll find the list of paper sizes it understands in its properties.
Anything not listed will not show up as a paper size in Project (or other
applications either).

A3 paper is approximately 11.75 x 16.5 inches. If it's missing from your
driver settings there are a couple of possibilities - either your printer
can't accomodate paper that size (maybe it's too wide for the printer), you
have the wrong printer driver installed, or it was accidently omitted and
you need to see if there's an update available.

Duration based on total resource quantity and rate of use

Posted: 01 Mar 2005 06:03 PM PST

That's the way material resources are tracked. Create a resource "Coal" as
a material resource, material label "pounds." Create a task X. In the
Window menu choose "split" to split the screen With task X selected, assign
the resource coal, set the units to "50/day" and the work to "600" and
you'll find it calculates the duration to be 12 days. Be very very careful
with this, though, because if you assign a work resource as well, the work
resources will over-ride the duration calculated by the usage of the
material resource - in my example if you add resource Bill at 100%
everything with be fine at first BUT if you then try to change the total
coal to be used to 1000 pounds you'll find the duration number doesn't
change but the elasped time shown by the Gantt bar does! It's as if Bill's
work governs the duration numbers but the usage of coal governs the elapsed
time! I'd strongly suggest manually estimating the duration rather than
asking Project to do it for you to avoid those sorts of problems.

How to remove task split

Haixiang,
You're welcome.

How does "it" know? You told it when you dragged the Gantt bar. If a
task has no resources assigned, manually creating a split on the Gantt
causes a Duration split, meaning the task has a forced period of "down
time". Any subsequent assignment of resources will follow that split and
work hours for those resources will show as "0h" during the split period
on the Usage views.

3.0 Identify Resources - xx days - FS2
4.0 Develop Budget - xx days - FS3
5.0 Kickoff - milestone - FS4
6.0 First Phase - summary (calculated)
6.1 first work activity - xx days - FS5

Filtering on sub tasks

Posted: 01 Mar 2005 11:03 AM PST

Hi Fred,

That does help somewhat. If all of your "Tender" tasks contain the word
"tender" you can create a custom filter to only show those tasks.

Jack Dahlgren (Project MVP) has a "Summary Name" macro on his site

http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm

that may assist you if the subtasks of the "Tender" summary task don't
contain the text "tender".

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Filtering on a sub task

i think you don't need to use resource,try to use custom fields such as text1.
but you still need to assign 3200 tasks.
see you task name to find if there are some key words for each stage,try to
use these key words to filter your tasks, if this works ,done.
if this works partially, at least it can minimize the task range,so you can
easily assign your custom field.

Customize Gantt chart timeline range

Posted: 01 Mar 2005 09:35 AM PST

Hi Panos,

I think we have two separate issues - what you see and what you print.

The ability to control what *prints* from the Gantt chart is controlled in
the File>Print dialog box under the Timescale options.

What you view on the screen is controlled in the View>Zoom command. As far
as *seeing* only a specific time range, you may select the tasks between the
dates you want and select View>Zoom and the selected tasks option.

Sorry if the original answer was less than clear and please let me know if
this has helped.

Julie

Hi Michael,

Glad to know it worked and thanks for the feedback. On a side note, you may
also use CTRL+F2 instead of the "Link Tasks" button if you prefer.
