| Word 2010 keeps changing page size Posted: 17 Feb 2014 03:02 PM PST Hello:
I am working on a book with a page size of 5.5 x 8.5 inches. I had this all formmated correctly and printing off in a pdf of the same size, and had been opening and closing and printing the files in those formats several times a day whilst I was proofing it.
A month later I have come back to do some more edits, and now when I open the file it changes its layout and page size to Letter.
More specifically, it seems to do this a few seconds after I open the file. I open the file, it looks correct, then a few seconds later the page size changes. I don't have time to check the page size it opens with before it changes, but it looks right.
Also, when I go to look at the page size in the styles section, it says it is a 5.5 x 8.5, but it is not. The pdf printer is also set to 5.5 x 8.5, but it also prints as a Letter sized page.
So, anyway, my file appears to have all the correct formating, but then resets itself to incorrect sizes after opening.
Any suggestions on what may be going on and how to fix it?
Thank you

| Word 2007 suddenly can't find a configuration file Posted: 17 Feb 2014 01:08 PM PST I have been using Word on this computer without problem for several months. (I'm running Win7Pro, and Office Home/Student 2007, and have plenty of memory; it's a new computer.)
Yesterday as I logged off an automatic update to something was installed. Today when I tried to open Word, it tried to configure the program, but couldn't find a file it needed. After getting into several endless loops, I determined that: MSOCache\All Users\{90120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}-H\ was not available either on the CD-ROM drive (H\:) or on my C\: drive (yes, I know the reference at the end must be changed to "-C")
It was apparently looking for a file called ProPlusWW.msi, but that is not on either my C:\ drive or my installation CD.
Obviously this is due to the automatic update, but I have no way of knowing what that update changed. Excel opened today without problem.
Please help! I use Word and Excel for my business, and I'm dead in the water! Thanks......

| Captions disappear when links are updated in my Word report Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:45 PM PST Hi!
I am writing a scientific report with lots of tables and figures in it. Most of them are linked to different excel files where they are managed separately. I am continuously updating the excel files as I get new results, so it works great for me this way. BUT, whenever I open Word, it asks if I want to update the links. And sure thing, all the links are updated nicely, just like I want them to be. But all the captions disappear as well, and the cross references in the body text stop working as well. Is there a way to keep the captions, but only update the actual table/figure? Or maybe I am just doing it wrong to begin with? |
| What determines inclusion of items on the Recent document list for Office 2013? Posted: 17 Feb 2014 11:48 AM PST Situation: - Office 365 Pro Plus (Office 2013) on two separate machines
- Laptop with Win8 and Surface Pro 2 with Win8.1 (also previously did all the same things with a Surface Pro 1)
- Same LiveID used for both machines, and all settings are synced
I work constantly in Excel and Word 2013, and I am a heavy user of the "Recent" feature. I use this to both pull up recent documents for continued collaboration and for switching between my devices. For instance, I could be working on a proposal in Word at my desk, and then I can catch the train and pull up that same doc on my Surface Pro 2 by just going to the "Recent" area without having to browse to the document in SharePoint/SkyDrive or without having to email it to myself.. I frequently switch between my docked laptop and my Surface Pro 2, both of which I log in to Win8 with the same LiveID, so this is extremely valuable. Up until recently (some time in January), this worked like a charm and was one of the most excellent collaboration/syncing features of the whole Office/Surface/SkyDrive/O365 ecosystem (for me anyway). I'm not sure what changed, but my Recent list no longer updates itself like it used to. In the past, I would open a file, and it would immediately go to the top of the list (my settings show 25 by default, which works for me). Now, I have a list of random documents that I definitely opened at some point in the past, but there is no known rhyme or reason, and I have opened many documents since the ones in the list. Sometimes a fairly recent doc will pop into the list, but it's no longer happening right when I open a document. I even cleared all unpinned items, and then opened a new doc, but that doc does not show up in the list (nothing does). I haven't been able to find any threads/articles/blogs talking about this. I don't necessarily need to know the algorithm for how it works, but I do need to know why it's NOT working and/or how to make it work like it used to. Just in case, I performed a Simple Repair (didn't change anything) followed by an Online/Full Repair (also didn't change anything). I also just installed the latest O365 Pro Plus update today, but the behavior is still there. I imagine this may have happened after an O365 Pro Plus update in December, but I can't find any evidence. In the end, I'd just like to be able to open a document in any Office product and have that item be added to the top of my "Recent" list just like it always has in the past. Thanks for any help or guidance. ***Updated with important info - the problem seems to only be with files being opened from SharePoint. These files no longer show up in the Recent listing, but all others do. I've only tested with SharePoint Online as part of our O365 tenant, but that's what I've been using the whole time. I can't be sure if it won't work with an on-prem version of SharePoint. - If I open a new doc right now from SharePoint (O365), it doesn't show up in the Recent list.
- If I open a doc from my personal OneDrive (SkyDrive) or from a local folder, it does show up in the Recent list.
- If I open a doc from my Planet OneDrive for Business (SkyDrive Pro), then the file does show up in the Recent list, but it's listed as coming from my sync'd folder on my local machine. It does not show a URL/link back to the SharePoint site where the file originated

| Resizing objects in Word document - Office 2010 operating on Windows 8 Posted: 17 Feb 2014 11:45 AM PST I am working on large PowerPoint documents that I then convert to Word to edit and create training manuals. When I convert the PowerPoint, the slides become "objects" in Word and the scale defaults to 75%. I want each slide to show at 100%. I can right click on the object and then use the "size" tab to change the scale to 100% BUT I don't want to do this for each individual "object." I've tried to "select all" but this doesn't permit me to scale the objects. When I may have a minimum of 80 to over 200 objects, I need an "easy" way to do this task. I'm very "skilled" but am NOT an expert. If you suggest using a "Macro", I'd NEVER done that before and will need "step by step" help! I'm hoping there is an "easy" button that someone knows. Thanks, Margaret |

| Can't Use Alt Codes in Word 2010 on Surface Pro 2? Posted: 17 Feb 2014 09:34 AM PST On my Surface Pro 2, hitting the alt key (while in Word) brings up what I believe are called "accelerator" keys on the ribbon up top. Hitting the alt key brings up these overlay functions on the bar, where I could hit "1" to save, "F" to open up the File ribbon, etc.
Problem? I can't use alt codes to key in special characters in my font. Obviously I could use character map, but that is not a solution for my needs.
I don't know if this is an Office 2010 issue, a Windows 8.1 issue, or something special with the Surface Pro 2 settings. Regardless, I cannot find anything that disables this horrible "assist" that my alt key is trying to do, and instead gives me back a good old alt key that's good for entering in alt codes.
Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated! |
| MS Word 2007 is confused by definition of 100% View Posted: 17 Feb 2014 08:52 AM PST I notice that MS Word 2007 cannot display documents in "Full Screen" at 100%
Unlike Word 2003 that can perform this fundamental task perfectly
I appears that Word 2007 is confused between "100%" (document view 'as is') and "Full Page" view (100% of document on screen at one time) - So it switches to "Full Screen" view but reduces the document to "Full Page" instead of 100%
At first I suspect I had not found the correct method After few attempts I decided it was BUGGED out Googled this flaw Wasn't surprised to find MVPs ignoring this fundamental flaw and favoring demeaning the users instead Just posted this to verify Word 2007 is flawed and it's not users "incompetance! |

| Word 2013 not showing all pages? Posted: 17 Feb 2014 04:52 AM PST I am in the middle of typing a bunch of lab reports for uni and have had a bit of a set back.
I had written up 5 pages of text/tables and on page 5 I needed to insert an equation (I just wanted the x-bar symbol). So I went to insert equation-accent but the list was blank. I remembered which box inserted a bar so I clicked on that but nothing happened. I pressed undo and tried again. It didn't work. So I closed office, opened up the doc again and it now only has 4 pages. The taskbar at the bottom says there are 5 pages but it only displays 4. I tried repairing (add/remove programs) but it didn't help.
Is there anyway of getting that page back? There wasn't a massive amount of text but I don't want to go through the pain of writing it again!
Thanks
EDT: I keep my docs on skydrive so I opened it up in the online word viewer and everything is there. I have just tried to copy and paste in the text but my Word 2013 doc will not allow me to see/create a page 5 at all. Ive tried pressing enter and inserting a page break, a massive pic that will force a new page... no page 5.
I am going to start a new doc and paste from skydrive. I am lucky I can get my work back. I feel for anyone that might not be as fortunate. |

| Excel/Word attachments do not open from Windows Live Mail Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:57 AM PST Hi,
I have this frustrating issue for nearly 1 year now. I have change my client mail, I have done everything, problem persists.
Windows 8 (native, no upgrade). Samsung PC. Office 13 (original).
Whenever I receive an email with Excel or Word attachments (.xlsd or .docx), there's NO WAY to open it properly.
- I've tried, open it directly, not first saving and then open. I get the error message (Word cannot open and with absurd suggestions of issues)
- If I first save in a proper folder and then, open via File Explorer - same
- If I first save and then open directly from MS Word - same, it does not work.
Fist time I posted this issue, months ago, they want me to believe the problem is that I was using another mail client (Thunderbird).
So, I got back to Windows live Essentials, using Windows Live Mail (which by the way does not even appear listed as a product here in the Search option).
The problem persists.
I am forced to try to open it with third party software, because MS Word 2013 refuses to open an original MS Word 2013 file.
my feeling is that if I need to pay for a software that in the end makes me use a free third party software, namely Open Office, what am I paying for?

| Word 2013 list of Alt + 3 digit codes Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:40 AM PST In Word 2013 I need the list of codes using Alt + 3 digits for foreign letters. Where can I find it? |
| Word 2007 suddenly hanging on startup splash screen Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:34 AM PST I'm running Office 2007 on a high-end, Windows 7 SP1 desktop system. Today, Word abruptly stopped working. When I run it, it hangs on the startup splash panel and goes no further. It will not open in "safe" mode either. I've repeatedly attempted to run it from both the Start Menu (with no doc/docx file reference) and from File Manager; it hangs just the same. Rebooting has no effect.
My other Office 2007 programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) all start instantaneously and exhibit no problems; only Word is broken.
To see whether it might fix the problem, I kicked off a 'repair' on Office 2007 from Control Panel. The repair process hung at about 95% complete. After awhile I canceled it; Windows Update said 'Canceling setup...', but the cancel also hung.
The only thing that's changed from yesterday was a couple of security updates that executed this morning in Windows Update. These were not specific to Word or Office, so I don't know that they had anything to do with this issue.
I tried moving Normal.dotm to another folder, but no change. I checked the Word\Startup folder, but it is empty, I tried running winword \r to evoke the "Register" command, but nothing changed.
Any advise appreciated.

| Adding a new figure to a large doc Posted: 16 Feb 2014 11:54 PM PST HI,
Can someone help please?
I am using word 2007. Have a large document with TOC. I am trying to add a new figure say, figure 7.7 to an existing table of figures - the last entry to this figure table is obviously 7.6. After I cut n paste the pix onto the word doc (at a place where i want it ) - on the pix, I right click to add caption. In the dialogue box that pops up, I add a new label eg:- Figure 7.7 Test box . Click ok and Figure 7.7 1 came out . How can I get rid of the numbering.
Even if I accept the annoying 1, I then went to the Fig 7.6 in TOC , put cursor under Figure 7.6 and go Reference -> Update table -> and click update entire table. Nothing happens.. fail!!!
Can you tell me where I went wrong.. bottomline.. I am trying to add a new Figure 7.7 to my doc and want to ensure Figure 7.7 appears in the table of figure and that they are linked.
Please help...

| Error: WINWORD.EXE - Ordinal Not Found 9298 oart.dll Posted: 16 Feb 2014 09:59 PM PST Hello:
When clicking on the pinned winword.exe icon located on the taskbar, the following error message is displayed:
WINWORD.EXE - Ordinal Not Found The ordinal 9298 count not be located in the dynamic link library oart.dll. OK
However, when right clicking on the W pinned icon and the Pinned and Recent list populates, when selecting a Pinned document MS-Word spawns without incident.
Additionally, when navigating to Start/All Programs/Microsoft Office 2013/Word 2013 executes as expected.
UPDATE: Since I already typed everything I need to update my question as I just now realized the problem mentioned above is for Microsoft Office Word 2010 and the pinned version of WinWord is the 2010 version. The error only occurs when attempting to run Microsoft Word v.2010, but 2013 is just fine.
I suppose all of this is now moot, however does anyone know why MS-Word 2010 is failing with the above error?
Thank you very much.
