Word 2013

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 03:46 PM PST

While editing a document, the entire document disappeared except for the edits.  My document went from 12 pages to one page.  Under info there were no previous versions under manage versions.  Properties still described the creation date as last April and the number of revisions that had been mad. These prior versions don't exist.  This was not an issue of closing a document without saving it.   The content disappeared while making the edits.

German Language Pack but wont let me proof.

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:32 PM PST

On my computer I have four language packs:
1. English (default)
2. Spanish (Downloaded)
3. German (Downloaded)
4. Chinese (Downloaded)

Now I can change my system language to any of the four and change back. That is not a problem.

The problem begins when I try to proof. Proofing works for English and Spanish but when I try to turn on German. It doesn't properly proof the text.

For example, I set it to German and I type the following:
"ich habe zwei bucher"  

Word does not try to capitalize "bucher."  *all nouns are capitalized in german*

I can also type the whole text in english and Word will simply recognize everything as correct, which is dumb. I can type chinese words and it will still recognize them as German words.

Basically word does not do anything except capitalizing the first word of the sentence.

Can anyone help me on this?

Microsoft Word 2013 has a glitch in it!

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 01:58 PM PST

I recently downloaded Word 2013 through Office 365 which was offered at my Community College and it isn't entering the right amount of space between letters when I use it.  I didn't have this problem when I was using Word 2010 but now I do, something isn't right!  Like for example it enters more space for words I type, like this: l eadership.

I tried to change the character spacing but it didn't help.  Can someone on here please help me out soon so I can finish my paper before its due on Sunday? 

I would really be grateful if you could, thanks!

Grammar checker in word 2013 not picking up a lot of things?

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 01:38 PM PST

I've always used the word grammar checker and never encountered a situation like this.

It doesn't pick up some of the grammatical errors?

I is happy.  <-------

We appreciate you patience <-------

These things divide other things into parts

These things divides other things into parts <-------

I has a pet named Lucky. <-------


All the sentences with the arrow pointing to them are grammatically incorrect but it only picks up the "We appreciate your patience" one?


I've checked options>proofing and I have everything turned on. Grammar style checker is working perferctly, it always tells me "passive voice (consider revising" and spell checker is working as well?


Please help, I've googled for an answer but can't seem to find out what's wrong


EDIT: This is resolved! Don't worry about answering it.
It's my first time asking a question so I have no idea how to mark it as answered.

Filling out a form in Word 2013 that was created in Word 2010

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 01:13 PM PST

I created a fillable form in Word 2010.  We had to update some of our computers & they were installed with Word 2013.  When someone opens the file from an email attachment, it opens in Word 2013 & they can fill out the form fine, one time.  When they save it & then go back to it, they can no longer edit the form or fill out any fields. 


Also, if the form is saved to the computer & then opened from the saved location, the form is no longer fillable or can be edited.  I can't figure out what is stopping this & how to correct it.

Macros para el comando "Insertar desde escáner o cámara" en Office 2013

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 12:21 PM PST

Todos saben que la opción "Insertar Imágenes desde Escáner o Cámara" ha desaparecido de Word y Excel 2013. Todos saben cómo obtener Imágenes desde Galería de fotos (botón Importar, creo), pero echan  de menos  la rapidez evidente en Office 2007. Por otra parte, he leído cierta divulgación basada en la macro siguiente:


InsertFromScanner Sub ()
On Error Resume Next
WordBasic.InsertImagerScan
End Sub



¿Alguien conoce algún método eficaz para que "desde Escáner o Cámara" aparezca disponible en el encabezamiento "Insertar" de Word y Excel 2013?

PC con Windows  Pro 8.1 con Media Center, Lenovo, 4 gigas de Memoria y no se que más menudencias.

Gracias a quien ponga remedio.  La macro citada no me ha servido de nada. 

ISSUE [to-improve] replace/ add image

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:31 AM PST

For instance when I click "save image" it always is the DEFAULT directory -> "pictures" and even IF I change it - it always is this

WHEN I want to 'replace picture' its inverse: it remembers the directory (last used) but doesn't remembers "pictures" (the one I use, because of the upper problem ^^)


FIX IT/ it's annoying to replace 100+ pictures searching always.

The problem is also with visibility of all file extensions (which could be replaced, i.e. 100% *.gif, *.png etc - it shows only ex. "jpg" and ALL).

overtype mode

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 10:03 AM PST


I see the question as having been previously asked, but I don't find an adequate answer. Why am I unable (sometimes) to use overtype mode via the insert key. I know that it is to be turned on under options--advanced, but while "use the insert key" is checked, its subcategory of "use overtype mode" is ghosted. Other times I can. Why. Don't mean to be a whiner, but this was never an issue in Word Perfect.

Using Word Templates

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 10:02 AM PST

I am helping my son use the template for the plumber resume in word 2010. We have put all of his information into the template, the information that we are not using has turned the color red and has a line through it, but I cannot figure out how to get rid of the template's information so that it is just his information.
Anyone know what I need to do???

Thanks,
Robin

Goto a bookmark or specific page in Word WebApp

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:38 AM PST

Hi,
I'm using the Office WebApp in my SharePoint 2013 environment and I have a question regarding the Word WebApp. Is it possible to open a document at a specific page (or bookmark) using a parameter? E.g https://webapp/_layouts/15/WopiFrame2.aspx?sourcedoc=/document.docx&action=default&page=10 

If it is not possible with a get parameter, a javascript (or any other) solution would be amazing :)

Age calculation

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 08:58 AM PST


A friend used this to calculate the age in the red rectangle.

{QUOTE{SET by {BirthDate \@ yyyy}}
{SET bm {BirthDate \@ M}}
{SET bd {BirthDate \@ d}}
{SET yy {DATE \@ yyyy}}
{SET mm {DATE \@ M}}
{SET dd {DATE \@ d}}
{SET md{=IF((mm=2),28+(mm=2)*((MOD(yy,4)=0)+(MOD(yy,400)=0)-(MOD(yy,100)=0)),31-((mm=4)+(mm=6)+(mm=9)+(mm=11)))}}
{Set Years{=yy-by-(mm<bm)-(mm=bm)*(dd<bd) \# 0}}
"The age is {Years} Year{IF{Years}= 1 "" s}."}


However, the value returned is 33 instead of 32 since the person will be officially 33 starting only on April.
How the coding can be modified to return 32 instead of 33?

Thanks,

conditional logic to add text to a form

Any tips/tricks/info is greatly appreciated.

Document now in compatibility mode, hyperlinks dead

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 07:58 AM PST

I wrote a piece for work on my home computer a few months ago which contained many hyperlinks. Someone asked me for a copy yesterday but when I opened it before sending I found that it was now in 'compatibility mode' and all of the hyperlinks are dead. Nothing happens when I try to click on them (they are now pale blue and underlined rather than dark blue and underlined). They actually can't be clicked on at all. I'm guessing my version of Word was updated to 2013 without me wanting it to be (I was fine with the older version). I tried converting it to the current version but the hyperlinks are still dead. 

Can I just go back to my old version of Word? How can I get my hyperlinks back? There are too many for me to go through and redo them all.
It's really annoying when something was working perfectly well then things get changed without you asking for them to be and now it's a mess.

Thanks!

Microsoft Word - Print Defaults (Particularly Colour Settings)

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 06:10 AM PST

Good Afternoon All,

 

We are experiencing an issue with printing from Microsoft Word.

 

The issue we are having is in regards to Word ignoring the printer settings, for example:

 

We are using a FollowMe print solution, which allows users to print to the FollowMe queue and using a biometric fingerprint scanner, collect their documents at any printer. This FollowMe queue is set to Black and White by default and when the users was to print in colour the do File -> Print -> Properties and Un-Tick the Black and White checkbox.

 

Word is the only application having this issue and it only affects the Default Printer. If I set the default to another printer and then select the FollowMe queue, then Word adheres to the selected colour.

 

We're using Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus on Windows 7 Professional stations.

 

Hopefully, someone out there will be able to shed some light on this issue?

 

Many Thanks,

Luke

Compatibility pack to open doc.x files

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 05:38 AM PST

I have an old version of MS Word (don't know which one)   Two or three years ago I installed the Microsoft Compatibility pack to enable me to open doc.x documents.   It has suddenly stopped working.   When I try to open a doc.x I get the message "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc".  A page of computer code then opens.  
I therefore went to http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=3 and downloaded another version of

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats.  Before installing I was instructed to remove the existing version of the Compatability Pack via Add/Remove which I did.   I then installed the new .exe file which I had downloaded.   When I try to open a doc.x file however, I am still getting that message "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc". 

Can anybody help me please?

Word Watermark to appear in front of table/text

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 10:17 PM PST

I am using Word 2007 'Page Layout' > Watermark > Custom Watermark > to add PAID in Goudy Stout, 36 font size, semi-transparent, red colour, diagonally across an invoice.  This appears as a 'rubber stamp' on the document.  

However, it appears as the background on the page, that is behind the text and clearly behind table borders and shading.  Suddenly the rubber stamp effect looks faked.  Is there anyway to force the watermark to the upper layer?

Thanks for support.

Using Skydrive in multiple locations

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 08:22 PM PST

I saved a document to skydrive on my laptop at home.  Later I was able to open this document from skydrive on my tablet at another location.  However,  I was not able to edit and then save it.  I got the error message:


The file xxxxx is checked out or locked for editing by someone else.


My question is thus what do I do on my laptop so that I can open and edit this document on my tablet somewhere else (or even at home)?  i.e. what settings do I use or activate and do I have to do this every time I save a Word document?  Or is there some master setting I can use so that I can then just save all my docs to skydrive and not worry about having to save them a special way?

Office 365

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 07:42 PM PST

Hi I have just purchased a subscription of Office 365.  I have used the trial, loved it and decided to purchase.  However every time I try to open document in Word, Outlook, Excel display the message: microsoft (xxx) has stopped working.  It then goes on to say: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  As yet - no notifications and I cannot use the programs.  ANY IDEAS.  I didn't have this problem with the trial program.

Publisher seems to work ok, haven't got old files to try Powerpoint and Access.

Mouse pad touch sensitivity.

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 04:54 PM PST

If, while I am typing, part of the thumb or palm accidentally brush the mouse pad, the cursor moves to a different line and enters text there. Sometimes it highlights text therefore removing many lines at a time and its frustating to have to retype it. Is there a toggle to turn the pad on and off?

Run-time error 5174

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 04:35 PM PST

I have several macros I use all the time. Occasionally I will get "Run-time error 5174" on one or two macros. I then click on a macro that opens four documents at the same time and this gets the problem macro to work. Now none of my macros work. What to do?

Embedded worksheet text larger than surrounding text on printing/PDF export

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 03:38 PM PST

In Office 2013, I have a Word document with several embedded worksheets.

The text in the word document is all Times New Roman, 12pt.

The text in the embedded worksheets is also Times New Roman, 12pt.

The embedded worksheet's size is at 100% (under "Format Object" -> "Size").

On-screen, the text IN the embedded worksheet looks the same size as the text outside the embedded worksheet.  Screenshots confirm that Word is rendering in-worksheet and out-of-worksheet text exactly the same size on screen.

But if we print the document (or export to PDF), the text inside the embedded worksheet is suddenly larger (noticeably, and measurably) than the text outside the embedded worksheet.  Screenshots of the exported PDF confirm that, post PDF-export, the text that was in the embedded worksheet is being rendered on-screen as larger than the text that was outside the embedded worksheet.  However, editing the PDF with Acrobat Pro shows that both in-worksheet and out-of-worksheet text is still "Times New Roman 12pt."

Is this a known problem? Why does text in an embedded worksheet print/export visually larger than text in the Word document itself?

Thanks in advance.
