| Can I add User Name to the QAT? Posted: 06 Feb 2014 03:11 PM PST I am trying to integrate tracked changes from several different people into one document, and we'd like to retain the tracking of who made what change. I have been doing this by changing my User Name/Initials before making changes from each person, so their changes are tracked under their name. (And yes, I know this can be done using the new tracked changes feature with Word 2010/2013, but we didn't have enough time get it set up for this document.) My question: is it possible to add the boxes for User Name and Initials to my QAT, so I don't have to go into the dialog box each time to change this info? Thanks, Jen |
| Pages missing in Word 2013 Print Layout Posted: 06 Feb 2014 03:03 PM PST I was editing a document in Print Layout Mode. I saved the file and closed Word 2013. After reopening the file, I cannot see pages 4-6 (of 6 total) in Print Layout Mode. I can see them in Draft and Web Layout mode. What do I have to do to resume being able to edit in Print Layout Mode? |
| Find and Replace Random Strings Posted: 06 Feb 2014 02:02 PM PST Hi all, I'm trying to find and replace a bunch of strings in a Word doc. The strings vary but are all CAPS and all contain a paragraph mark before the string and at the end of the string. The strings are like this: DUTCH COUNTRY BEAN SOUP SPLIT PEA SOUP EGG BALLS FOR SOUP Is there some way to use wildcards like (^13)([A-Z]{n})(^13) in the Find What box but replace "n" with a variable that will find all uppercase strings even with spaces between words? And then what would I put in the Replace box to preserve all of text? |
| Posted: 06 Feb 2014 01:27 PM PST Hi there I am unable to locate where the Normal template is on my computer system. Custom Office Templates are located in the Documents folder. In Word 2010 the Normal template as well as template you create were located in C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft but there is no folder such as this on my system. when I try to navigate through folders. However, strangely if I type in this pathname it does list normal.dotm. (Very difficult to explain this to students - even showing hidden files and folders doesn't display this) There also used to be a Templates folder under Microsoft Word on the Navigation Pane. Sample templates were located in Word 2010 in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033. There are none there either. I have to teach students the location of the Normal template as well as the location of supplied templates. Templates they create are in the Custom Office Templates folder. Many thanks. Cheryl |
| Page Break in Office 2010 table creates whole new page, table row are no longer connected Posted: 06 Feb 2014 01:06 PM PST I hope that I can describe this adequately. I am typing a Word document that consists of text inside table rows. When the final row exceeds the bottom margin of the page, it moves over to a new page. (Also, sometimes to make the information hang together better, I insert a Page Break.) Problem is, with either option that row become the only one on the new page and the following rows are no longer "connected" to that row. Paragraph marks are inserted, and I can't seem to delete them to bring the table all back together. Any suggestions? |
| Content on Word Document changing to funny and unreadable symbols while being edited Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:18 PM PST Hi everyone I'm currently working as an IT in a company with over 60 Therapists . Part of Our Therapists job is to write reports on their clients , using Microsoft Word Document Templates, which then they send to other Therapists for review and editing. The Word Templates they use, contain : Tables, comments section , check box, header and footer . These Templates have originally been created in Microsoft word 2010 home and business on a widows 7 PC and they are located in our network drives to access by our Therapists . Recently our Therapists have been experiencing problems with Microsoft word document content changing to funny and unreadable symbols while they are being reviewed and edited , especially when the comment section is being edited. This issue with documents content changing to unreadable symbols has been reported on several machine running Windows 7 or 8 professional and office 2010 or 2013 home and business edition. Here are the actions i have taken so far: 1) Ran a full virus/spyware/Malware scan on all machine to make sure they are clean. (results: no threat found ) 2) installed the latest windows/ office updated, as well as service pack 2 on office on all machines 3) Re-creating all the templates from the scratch on another machine and re-uploaded in our network drive Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks |
| Word 365 can the drawing canvas be moved around the page Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:12 PM PST When |I use a drawing canvas for various shapes making up a diagram, one problem I find is that I am unable to move the canvas if I decide that it needs to be moved.
I can move the right hand side of the canvas in or out and I can move the bottom of the canvas up or down but I cannot move the left hand side or the top of the canvas. And I cannot simply grab the canvas and drag it.
Am I missing something here? |
| Posted: 06 Feb 2014 11:28 AM PST I have Toshiba Satellite laptop. It's capable of typing in Arabic alphabets using Microsoft Word when I press Shift Alt at the same time. I have few problems using it as I would in the English version. Example: when I press Tab the cursor reverses what I typed to the left side and the new typing starts on the right side messing up the order of my text. There are other problems which I think are caused by the same thing. Any suggestions? |
| Posted: 06 Feb 2014 11:15 AM PST Hi all,
I teach technical writing at college level. Something has always confused me about Word styles.
When a student hands in an assignment I make a copy, rename it with the word "GRADED" in the name line, and then I add my comments. This is so I can hand their graded assignments back with their original work and my comments all in one document.
The students are required to use styles (Word or user). When I add my comments, I like to use my own user styles, but they don't "travel" with the student's assignment because they weren't created on his or her computers (obviously).
So let's say the student's name is Mary. She created three user styles for her document: Mary1, Mary2, and Mary3. Meanwhile, I have three user styles on my computer that I wish to use for my comments. (These comments are not in the standard sidebar Comments boxes but rather are added to the end of the document as text.) They are named Lee1, Lee2, and Lee3. I open Mary's document in my Word version, but my three user styles are not in the Quick style gallery or the regular Styles gallery you see when you click the down arrow in the Styles group. How can I apply Lee1, Lee2, and Lee3 to my comments when they aren't in either gallery?
The only thing I can think of is my three Lee styles have to reside in my Normal template so they show up when I open Mary's document on my computer. Have I made this question clear? Should I modify the Normal template? Am I on the right track with my answer?
Word is a great program when you want to produce a document from scratch, but there seems to be a lot of conflict when you try to blend two documents into one. Many thanks. - Lee |
| Bullet Levels don't keep the format I've set Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:58 AM PST Hi I'm working in Word using 4 level bullets, I normally change the distance between the bullet and sentence because I don't like where the default bullets are placed. So I do and when I hit enter the new bullet is aligned to the one above. And do the same for the next level bullets. In this document for some reason my 3rd level bullet keeps misaligning so I have to keep paintbrushing the format. Which is tedious because it's a long document.
Example
* Level 1 # level 2 @ level 3 ^ level 4 @ Level 3 ^ level 4
Very irritating because nothing I do is working
Any ideas?
Thank you

| word 2013 won't let me type below a diagram Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:36 AM PST I am in the process of creating a word document and have just added a diagram comprising several shapes. But I now find that, when I try to start typing below the diagram to continue the document, the cursor appears above the diagram. How can I get the cursor to appear below the diagram so that I can continue with the document? |
| saved document became corrupted in office starter 2010 Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:26 AM PST Many saved documents created with Office Starter 2010 have been reformatted and corrupted to the point of illegibillity. Can this be fixed without losing the text? |
| Not Wanting to Print Highlighted Areas Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:17 AM PST I am creating a letter template in Microsoft Word (2010).
My manger wants the signature areas to be highlight but he does not want the highlight to be printable.
I have tried everything that I know, but the yellow continues to print (the letter has to print on a color printer because of the color in the logo).
Is there a way to have the signature lines as yellow highlights and then have it not print without having to turn off and on the highlight color?
Thank you for your help!

| Re: Office 2007 Home and Student Word; what behaviors will occur if used for commercial use? Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:53 AM PST Hello, I recently purchased Office 2007 Home and Student, I needed it for use with my employer's software program to be used as a platform on MS Office Word for a word processor for editing documents. Including downloading and uploading documents via the internet. I log on to my program for my job via the software program Editscript MT via the internet and it uses Office Word to allow me to complete my document editing and then upload to the account server of the client. My job's software program is a program that makes changes to my system files in order for it to work properly. I am receiving multiple error messages at different times. For example, I have received error 4198 and 62 among others. Also, I have had an issue with no sound for the audio files on my employers software I use. I ran Office diagnostics this morning and received errors that the diagnostics said one of which it fixed and the other was a custom addin needed to run my job's software program. I have tried to use Office 2007 Home and Student on 3 different computers and have the same problem on all of them. Could this be due to the non-commercial use language on Office 2007 Home and Student disk? In addition, I have had a occurrence of MS Works folder showing up every time I install my MS Office 2007 Home and Student. I understand that the disk should not contain this program or any files pertaining to it, but every time it is installed a file named MS Works shows up, it does not appear to have an exe. file but nonetheless MS Works will conflict with my job's software program and it is not allowed to be on my PC because of the known conflict with my job software program. I have deleted it repeatedly and it shows up again in my C drive files. I have been told that I must have an old copy of Works on my PC. I do not have it on this PC it is a newly refurbished HP PC I just received this week. I also had a Dell PC that was new and had the same issues with it. Before that I had an HP PC that I had had for years and I used this same Office 2007 Home and Student program on it as well, it worked for a while using my work program and then it just stopped cooperating and I began to receive the same errors and issues as mentioned before. I am at a loss how to fix this. I have been working on this for at least 2 months' time to no avail. I am not able to work due to these issues being ongoing. I hope someone can help me. Thank you, Chirpee60 |
| Word tables - I can't add text to any of the cells Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:43 AM PST I am having a serious problem with a document that contains a lot of tables and I'm at my wit's end right now. When I received the document, the tables just needed font changes, except for one that I had to completely redo. The cells were really large so that they went on for about 5 pages when there were only a couple of lines of text. The text had disappeared and I couldn't type anything in any of the cells. I ended up recreating all of the tables in the document and it looked fine. When I opened it again this morning, it was all screwed up again. I've just fixed everything again, saved and closed the document, and when I opened it again, most of the tables are OK, but there's one that's all messed up again. A lot of the text is gone and the cells are huge. I don't know what to do to fix this and I'm about ready to throw my computer out in the snow. And of course, I have a deadline of yesterday to get this done.
Please, if you've ever encountered this, help! |
| Company using home versions at work Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:42 AM PST Where I work the company is currently using Home Office versions across the board. Something which I disagree personally with, especially seeing as these day's its so easy to find an open source solution if the price is a factor. I was wondering what steps should be taken? I have spoken to the manager about the issue and suggested wither transposing to Libre (which would be easy as the work done is very low level - zero macros or VBA and necessity to open such documents from others isn't there either) but I don't think that this is going to happen. Is there anyway of flagging this as an issue with MS? What even happens? Or is this one of those thing's that you're 'meant' to do (use business software) but doesn't really matter because there are no repercussions? Thanks |
| track changes compared documents office 2013 Posted: 06 Feb 2014 08:36 AM PST when we do the compare documents feature on a document that contains 120 pages it is only comparing 41 pages of the document.

| Microsoft Template Document --- Header keep deleting itself when document is edited Posted: 06 Feb 2014 07:23 AM PST Hi All,
I have a template doucment.
When I open this document and proceed to edit this document (which is about 5 pages long) and begin deleting things I do not need the header will eventually disspear.
The header is only on the first page and the only way I have found to resolve this is by adding a continous break under the header (first line of actual document) which brings the letter down two spaces.
Besides me using a continous break is anyone able to help me solve this query any other way.
It has been driving me insane for weeks on end .... I have tried to explain this best I can however if you need more info do let me know.
Thanks in advance. |

Answer 4 2) Question 2 a. Answer 1 b. Answer 2 c. Answer 3 If needed, I can easily change how the test are written. |

| How do I tell spellcheck that certain double words are okay Posted: 06 Feb 2014 03:17 AM PST I guess this question applies across Microsoft products that use spellcheck. There are certain double words that I want to tell spellcheck to ignore. For example, Aye aye. This is a regular form of address in the navy. I had tried adding this to a custom dictionary, but this didn't help. How do I tell MS word that usage of this is okay? |
| Font color keyboard shortcurts Posted: 06 Feb 2014 02:26 AM PST I need to use several different font colours in a document and would like to set up keyboard shortcuts. I have found instructions for an older version of Word (http://www.bltt.org/software/word/wordshortcuts.htm) but not for Word 2010, where I can only find a general 'font colour picker' option. I need to specify e.g. red, blue, green, so one default colour would not be enough. PC running Windows 7. Thanks for any help |
| Cropped images when printing in a HP Envy 4500 Posted: 06 Feb 2014 02:25 AM PST Hello,
I have the same error with my new printer HP Envy 4500. I have created a document with MS Word 2007 and have added 2 images. In the screen I can see them fine (I see the entire image) but when I print the document with my new printer HP Envy 4500, the images appear as cropped, with the correct size of the image, but different zoom scale, so the image appears cropped.
I have printed those images from another application as MS Paint, and the images are printed correctly.
I have also created a new MS Excel
Please could you help me?
Thanks David |

| Dragging Text with the Mouse Pointer Does Not Work in MS Word Posted: 06 Feb 2014 01:28 AM PST Hi there, I'm running MS Word 2010 on my Win7 64bit PC, I have been using it for quite a long time, and now I have unexpectedly encountered an issue: I can no longer move the text selected with my mouse pointer! This is not a serious issue but a very nasty one, as sometimes this function becomes very handy. What can the cause be? I have read a similar post, no useful suggestions were given, though.... Thanks in advance. |

| Posted: 05 Feb 2014 11:22 PM PST I have a Surface 2 that I recently purchased. I use the integrated Word application that it came with. I use Blank Document and proceed to working, but spell check won't recognize any misspelled word. It just says that it finished checking the documents and that everything is correct, even when it's not. I don't know how to fix this situation. Does anyone have any solutions? |
| Spaces between don't show up until next word is typed Posted: 05 Feb 2014 05:25 PM PST I am writing a document in Word on a SurfacePro 2 and all of a sudden it doesn't seem to be recognizing the spacebar. I type as usual, with a space after each word, but the space doesn't APPEAR after the word until the next word is typed. It does the same thing with the onscreen keyboard as the attachable touch keyboard. It is working just fine as I type this and seems to work fine in other programs; Word is the only problem. I didn't (knowingly) change any settings, but this seems more like a bug than a setting change. I saved, closed, and reopened Word to no avail.
Any help is appreciated as I cannot really use the program for typing while this very distracting error remains. |

| ISO-compliant PDFs are not created Posted: 05 Feb 2014 03:11 PM PST I need to create an ISO-compliant PDF of a Word document. I've used the PDF add-in for Word perfectly for four months (since I bought this brand new computer), as recently as last week. Today, when I try to save as a PDF, no file is created. If I check the option to open the file after creation, I get the error that the file is in use by another application (even brand new files that haven't been saved as Word docs). I've renamed the Normal.dotm file and deleted temporary files to no avail. I do not use the anti-virus programs mentioned in solutions for this problem dating back five years. My PDFs MUST be ISO-compliant, so unchecking that box is not an option. I had this problem on my old computer and it was never resolved. Edit: I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the PDF add-in. |
