Microsoft Word - Cannot save as a wps document

Cannot save as a wps document

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:55 PM PST

Mail maerge document doesn't print anything except the merged data

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:36 PM PST

I am printing numbered tickets (10 per page).  I have a mail merge document that includes text boxes and graphics as well as the merge data (numbers 1 - 600).  Everything looks good on the screen but on print preview or print all I get is the merged data.  None of the text boxes or graphics appear.  If I convert the text boxes to text then they will show up along with the merge data but the graphics never show up.  I've used this same document for years and never had a problem until now.

Column break within numbered list

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:21 PM PST

Hello,

It seems a shame I can't get cells in a table automatically numbered in columns (1,2,3,4,5,6,7 down the left column, then 8,9,10,11 down the second col etc) but having looked everywhere I see I can only manually number each column then "continue numbering" at the top of the second column.

I want to write some maths exercises. So I have tried numbering.

I have a list of questions (as 2010 "Equation" objects) numbered from 1 -24.

So I formatted the doc as 3 columns, added a column break after Q8 and Q16, but alas I then get a paragraph mark at the top of each column.

So instead of columns which align nicely I get:

1
2 9 17
3 10 18
4 11 19
5 12 20
6 13 21
7 14 22
8 15 23
16 24


I can't believe it's SO HARD to get numbering in columns to work. I know how to number in rows (Word's default if I put the list in a table), but this is hardly a bizarre request

Here's what I get (and although it doesn't say so, I *do* have a column break after expression 8.) 

http://mrstevensonmaths.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/factorise-the-following-where-possible.docx

*and* when I then add a section break after Q24 to add a set of other questions called set B) it goes and puts Q24 (the number of that question) in italics!! What's *that* all about?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

MS Word -- inserting comments

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 01:20 PM PST

Really odd question: it's annoying but not earth shattering!

When I'm inserting comments and typing in the reviewing pane, I run into problems of some characters not typing and I get the little error "bing". If I go back and type slowly, it works fine. It seems to frequently be the letter R that causes the BING, but it's not limited to that letter. Also, sometimes when I highlight text and try to delete it, I get the BING and the text won't delete.

As I said, this isn't a real problem, but it's just annoying me that I can't figure out WHY it's happening!

Thanks for any insight anyone has!

Files locked automatically; not able to open

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:30 PM PST

I have a problem with office word that it occasionally adds password protection to a document.

When I next come to open it, I am asked for a password, even though I didn't enter one?

It doesn't happen that often & I have managed to resolve before as I had a printed copy or a pdf.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Many thanks

Trouble with Protected View mode in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 11:48 AM PST

I've had Word 2010 on my PC (Windows 7) for a couple years. Last week, I started having a problem I haven't seen before: When opening certain Word docs out of Outlook or even off of my desktop, a message comes up ("Opening in Protected View") and Word gets stuck. 

I realize I can click on Cancel to bypass that message without opening the file. I also realize I can simply turn off Protected View mode. 

What I want to be able to do: Keep Protected View active, but avoid getting stuck while trying to open in Protected View. 

Any ideas? Thank you.

Word or Excel file hangs on opening

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 10:13 AM PST

This most commonly happens with files I have just received - so they will go into protected view.

Typical scenario:
  • I have 4 Word or Excel files open;
  • I receive a file as an email attachment (Gmail in Chrome);
  • I download it and click on it;
  • Nothing appears to happen;
  • When I hover over the Word/Excel icon I see my 4 original files as normal - with the new file on the right, but just an empty rectangle with no content;
  • The only way to close it is to kill Word or move the pointer to it and hit the X;
  • I can usually open the file by doing File Open in Word/Excel but not by clicking on it in Windows Explorer;
  • Once I have successfully opened it I can usually open it by any mechanism.
What it is not:
  • None of the other files is in protected view;
  • None of them are at the File dialogue - which sometimes seems to prevent working with other files.
Any ideas?

Correct way to insert at end of Current Section?

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 09:17 AM PST

I'm inserting charts from an Excel file into an Appendix in a Word document. There are hundreds of charts that I need to insert from dozens of files. I need to automate this process. I have two questions, but first, the code:

**************Snip*************

' Get the current section number and set a SecRange Range Object to be the current Section

 

    SecNumber = ActiveDocument.Range(0, Selection.Sections(1).Range.End).Sections.Count
    Set SecRange = ActiveDocument.Sections(SecNumber).Range

 

' In code below, working range variable name is rng

' In code below, I am Do While  looping on i, which is the Scenario Workbook index

 ' Within the loop on i, I am Do While Looping on j, which is the Case Worksheet within Workbook index

  ' Within the loop on j, I am Do While Looping on k, which is the Chart index for Charts in Case Worksheet

   **************more stuff snipped out***********

   

                AExl.Worksheets(CaseArray(j)).ChartObjects(NumCharts(k)).Copy


                ' Paste the chart into the word document. Must explicitly use the InLine placement with PasteSpecial


                rng.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteMetafilePicture, Placement:=wdInLine


                ' If the chart was put in using InLine, then go to end of the current range


                rng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd


                ' Assemble the Caption for the figure


                full_caption_string = ". A " & scenario_string & ", " & case_string & ": " & chart_string


                ' Insert the caption


                rng.InsertCaption Label:=wdCaptionFigure, Position:=wdCaptionPositionBelow, Title:=full_caption_string


                ' Set range to where the next chart needs to go


                rng.SetRange Start:=SecRange.Start, End:=SecRange.End
                rng.Collapse (wdCollapseEnd)
                rng.InsertParagraph
                rng.InsertParagraph

 

******************End Snip****************

I've tried every way that I can think of to make this work, but as I loop through the charts and paste them in, I can't get successive charts and captions one after the next. The above code collapses to the end of the section after the caption properly, but the InsertParagraph commands put two new Appendix Headers into the file, which I don't want. I just want two lines inserted after the caption, then I want to paste in the next chart.

 

Alternatively, if I try to just do the rng.Collapse and the rng.InsertParagraph commands immediately after the rng.InsertCaption command, then I wind up getting the next chart after the first chart, and I get the captions stacked one on top of the next. After several charts are inserted, I wind up with a bunch of charts with no captions, and then a long list of captions, one after the next and nowhere near their chart.

 

Any suggestions as to how I can effectively get the cursor to the end of the caption, insert two paragraph markers ( a.k.a. hit "enter" on the keyboard twice ), and then loop back up to paste in the next chart?

 

Also, I would like to change the size of the charts I am bringing in. How can you specify the chart width and maintain the aspect ratio when you are bringing an Excel chart into a Word document with vba?

 

Thanks for any support the community can provide on this one!

 

 

Page numbers in cross-references to footnotes are all set to 1

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 07:07 AM PST

I work with scholarly monographs that have many footnotes. When I create a cross-reference to a footnote that is located on a page other than the first one, Word 365 ALWAYS displays the page number as 1. I reported this problem to the customer service over two months ago and called repeatedly. They say it is a bug and they are working on it, but they still have not found a solution. By the way, this feature worked perfectly on previous versions of Word.

How to recover a word document?

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 06:42 AM PST

I'm on a PC and I made a document on Microsoft Word 2010 but before I could save it, my compute froze so I had to turn it off. When I turned it on though and went into Word, it wasn't in the autosave bar and then I did the thing on 'File' - 'Recent' - 'Recover Unsaved Documents' but it's not there. It's really important that I find it because it's irreplaceable and very important. My deadline is tomorrow morning. Please help!

Suppress macro pop ups automatically in MS Word/Excel 2003

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 01:31 AM PST

Hi,
I have an application which prints word documents in PDF. When there is a document which has macro in it the application stops working, as it will wait for user action to accept the warning that "Macro is disabled"
I read somewhere that we can achieve this by editing some registry. Please let me know how can we suppress the warning messages. It doesn't matter if the document has macro enabled or not as the document is created manually and work of macro is already done.
Please lt me know what needs to be changed in the registry to suppress the excel.

Word 2013 hyperlink converting # to %20-%20

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:27 AM PST

The following is the URL for a hyperlink in a Word doc.  Please note the "#" near the end.  When reading the doc in Word 2010 the link works great.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/videos/windows-xp-vs-windows-7#tab=compare

But if I open the doc in Word 2013, what gets put in the URL bar of the browser is:  
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/videos/windows-xp-vs-windows-7%20-%20tab=compare

This doesn't work, and I have to go in the browser address bar and edit the # back where it's supposed to be.
(I've since figured out that I don't really need the # and everything after, but I might one day.)

This problem exists when the default browser is set to anything other than IE-desktop.
IE-W8 = problem (# converts to %20-%20)
Chrome = problem (# converts to %20-%20)
IE-desktop = NO problem (# stays #)

I'd like to use the IE W8 browser.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Autofill a cell in a table from a combobox

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:04 AM PST

I have a table, in cell 1 I'm putting a combo-box with dates a certain function is happening ... based on the selection the user chooses I want cell 2 to autofill with the last possible date to register.  There aren't a whole lot of dates, this is a pretty short list so I know I can save everything in the one file.  This document is being mailed out to people so it can't sit on a server or anything fancy like that.

I've found a ton of answers with things like bookmark and ref but that was using a legacy box which I can't seem to make work as a dropdown because this isn't a locked form.  I found stuff referencing vb, which I no longer know how to write.  I use to be computer brilliant but as I'm aging things are leaving my mental library.  The simpler someone can break this down for me the better.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance

Creating XML file automatically from Excel File

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 05:45 PM PST

I am posting this in the Word 2007 forums, due to the fact I know the Xml looks pretty versus Excel, even though I do not care which program can handle this, as long as Word or Excel can do this.

In Excel 2007, I have 2 columns (artist and track).  Then I have a xml file that I need creating automatically.  Here is a small xml example below.  End result I need the first <artist>NAME</Artist> replaced for the NAME from column A in Excel 2007.  Now repeat that and grab from column B in Excel the TITLE and place it in the <Track>TITLE</Track> area.

The trick is to keep creating these blocks of data from <Wish><Artist>NAME</Artist><Album></Album><Track>TITLE</Track></Wish> with the next cell in Excel 2007.

I understand I could manually copy and paste this into the areas, but that would take a long time.  If there was some code or an easy way, that would be great.  Thank you for your help.

Word 2013 Track Changes Problem with Single Word Change

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 05:18 PM PST

Hi,


I've resolved a few of the Word 2013 Track Changes problems by following advice in the Forum but now I am facing yet another problem. I am working collaboratively on a report, so the document will have changes tracked from many reviewers. This was never a problem in 2010 version, but with 2013 if I change a single word in a paragraph the entire paragraph is getting recorded as a deletion in the review panel, and then an insertion is recorded of the original paragraph with the one new work entered. This is obviously going to drive team members crazy (and I don't really want to put up with it personally either).


Any help?


Many thanks.

OK, but it will take some work...

GRUB needs to be reinstalled and both Windows 98 and Windows XP needs to
be (re)installed on primary partions (both need to be hidden from the
other).
 

This is possible but will require lots of additional work. Windows (both
Windows 98 and Windows XP) uses it's own bootloader and the switches
needed are not possible from the GRUB bootloader.

That's the letter 'L' and not the number one in the commands above.

Safest route is to create a separate partition for /boot as well as a
Grub boot-floppy, and the WinXP partition. The /boot partition can be
quite small. It will only hold the boot images for any linux upgrades.
You might also create a /data partition and symlink /home to
/data/home. Then the other linux partitions can be easily upgraded.

WinXP will over-write the MBR on installation. The Grub boot-floppy
will allow you to re-write the MBR using install. And create a boot
entry in menu.lst (grub.conf) for Windows for dual booting. Note that
you can re-create a grub boot-floppy from within grub, so make some
notes and store them in the /boot directory.

But if your laptop doesn't have a floppy it's a little more difficult
but you can do the same thing with a CD.

Whether you *should* or not depends on many factors such as your own skills
and how you value your own time compared to the cost of what the VAR might
charge.

When taking into account your own time, are you prepared for running into
unforeseen problems? If the VAR is any good may have encountered these
before (or know about them) and can sort them quickly. A cursory glance at
this newsgroup might indicate that installing the system (with or without
instructions) is not straightforward and all sorts of problems can arise.

All depends if you have a day job to do as well for the next week or two

Select SQL Server During Installation

Posted: 07 Sep 2004 06:06 AM PDT

I'd be pretty sure that the BKUPEXEC instance is an MSDE instance used for
backup logging, etc. No way that it can be used.

Visual Studio in CRM Server

Posted: 06 Sep 2004 10:39 PM PDT

I had VS installed on my CRM Server for a year and a half.

Just removed it to make space.
But there was never a problem.

It's more important to have good SQL backups.

MS CRM via Terminal Services

Curt,

I've been looking into ways to take a w2k3 server, in TS apps mode, with CRM
installed on it - and ploink it into a functioning SBS2k3 network as a
member server. This is not for production - rather to demonstrate TS and CRM
in the SBS environment (mostly TS) - without permanently altering the
production environment. I want to leave it in there for a few weeks.

I think it will work ok (performance is not key in this case), and it was my
understanding that we'd have to leave SFO out of the mix for outlook
sessions on the TS/CRM box. (that's what prompted my question).

A lot to ask of a single box ;-). In a test environment, I have a single box
running SBS2k3, with VS w2k3 member server in ts apps mode. The OS's do have
more or less dedicated cpu and ram, and are on separate arrays - so far I'm
not dissapointed in the performance. I'm just about to give CRM a go on the
w2k3 VM.
