Microsoft Word - Clarifying my header problem

Microsoft Word - Clarifying my header problem


Clarifying my header problem

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 02:52 PM PST

I will be more specific about my headers problem. I have some pages belonging to my Part B. Following the last page of Part B, I have a page that begins Part C - call this page C1. When the text part of C1 is active, a header belonging to Part B appears. That's wrong, but when I make the header part of page C1 active to remove it, the wrong Part B header IS NOT THERE. Therefore there is no way to remove it. (For what it's worth, when I do Print and look at page C1, the wrong header IS there.)
How can I fix this? And why is there a difference in what shows between "text active" and "header active" modes?
I will deeply appreciate any help, and thank you for your efforts so far.

Some Arabic words with character styles applied display as Times New Roman instead of the underlying font Tahoma

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:59 PM PST

I have a document where the majority of the time the character styles (e.g., Bold, Bold/Italic) applied to text correctly use the underlying font of Tahoma. But, when the character styles are used in the first line of a bulleted or numbered list, the font on the character styles is Times New Roman.


All of the paragraph styles are based on the Normal style, which is set to RTL and the script font is set to Tahoma.


95% of the time, Tahoma is used when a character style is applied. It is just in the first line of a bulleted or numbered list (e.g., step 1) where the font assigned is Times New Roman. All other bullets or steps in the list are ok. There is no style in the template based on Times New Roman.


I have done the following:

Set the default script font to Tahoma.

Set the Language to Arabic (U.A.E.).

Deleted and reecreated the list styles 

Deleted and recreated the character styles

Set the default printer to the Microsoft XPS Printer.

Set the character styles' complex script font to Tahoma.

Followed recommendations in this article (which may or may not apply): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/font-gets-changed-to-times-new-roman-after-2-3/8b6a6128-1dee-4592-87ee-fa05745bd47b


I don't know what else to try. I would love to get some advice please.


Table Gridlines by default

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:55 PM PST

Is there a way to turn on the table gridlines and have them show up all the time? I've read through all the topics here and all I could find on the web and it seems like the only options are to either program some code into all the documents that tell Word to turn on gridlines or to turn on the gridlines for Every Single Document I Open Every Single Time I Open It. Neither option makes any logical sense. I've just had a new version of Windows thrust upon me and I'm trying to set things up the way they were on my last computer, so I know this is possible. I just can't find anything that does it. Help!

Saving as DOTM deletes add-ins and macros

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:45 PM PST

Hello,

 

I have a document that I have been using to create a template. This document has macros and add-ins (Custom toolbar) in it (they are not in the Normal.dotm). When I go to save the file as a DOTM, the add-ins and macros disappear.  How do I save my file as a DOTM and include macros nad add-ins?

 

Thanks for your advice.

the document contains no comments or tracked changes

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:22 PM PST

I am having an issue with a document I believe was originally created in Word 2007 ... I am viewing in 2010. I can see the changes and I want to accept them but when I click on accept changes I get a "the document contains no comments or tracked changes" error message ... any ideas on how I can get the document to accept the changes?

Thanks

Parts of document only visible in outline view.

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:22 PM PST

I am putting together my PhD thesis using Word 2013 and Endnote X7. I need to put the bibliographies for each chapter separately. Endnote is able to do this, but the process has been a nightmare. Among other issues, I have to copy each chapter into the master document section by section, then allow Endnote to update. It then squashes the bibliography in a one page frame at the end of each chapter. I then have to remove the frame, as if I do not, when I next allow Endnote to update the references, the previous frames and the bibliographies they contain disappear. So every time I have to go through and remove any frames. I have no idea why the bibliographies are being put in frames, Endnote support seem to have no idea either, which leads me here.


All files are in .docx format. The citations in the document I am copying from all unformatted. Once I have merged the files I then click on 'Update Citations and Bibliography'. This takes a while. I have section breaks after each chapter, immediately before which Endnote is supposed to put the bibliography for each chapter. What normally happens here, is that the bibliography for the first chapter is created and visible (but squashed into a one page frame so that 3/4 of the references are not visible. The rest of the document then becomes inaccessible - i.e. I cannot scroll down, the links in the 'Navigation' pane within Word when clicked then do nothing. If I view the document in 'Outline' view however everything is still there. I can sometimes make the rest of the document be accessible again by deleting some of the blank space characters around the section break after the first chapter, but not always. If the rest of the document becomes visible the bibliographies are either in the frame or not visible at all.

 

Apologies if that makes little sense, its difficult to explain without having seen it. I realise this post is focussed on problems of Endnote, but I am trying to find out what circumstances within Word would result in parts of a document only being visible in outline view. If I can solve this problem I will be one step closer to an overall solution.

Can't bullet just one section ... Word inserts one bullet in front of the whole doc (and indents the whole doc)

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:14 PM PST

Word 2013 - Windows 8

Formatting a section with bullets affects the entire document - inserts one single bullet at top of doc and indents the entire doc, but does not create a bulleted list in the section that I highlighted.


  1. I paste copied text into a doc (selecting to use destination styles).
  2. Then try to fix a bulleted section (due to formatting changes caused when pasting).
  3. I remove the dots and spaces that represent the old bullets, highlight/select the area, and click the bullet formatting icon. This inserts a bullet at the top of the doc before the first line of the first paragraph. It indents the entire document.

What Word options do I have to change to unattach the area that I want to bullet? Why does Word apply this action to the entire document when I am highlighting a single section?


I have found this solution:

Go back to Format>Style>Normal and uncheck "Automatically update" and check "Add to template" so you store the change for future documents.
But, Word 2013 does not have this option to uncheck.

Thanks for any help!

Hide spelling errors in normal.dot template in Word 2010

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 11:32 AM PST

I have added Hide Grammer Errors and Hide Spelling Errors to the quick access toolbar. I prefer to have then checked so that they don't display the grammer/spelling errors and then when I want to see the errors I can uncheck them. I prefer being notified of spelling errors in this fashion over using the spell checker and have it bring up a dialogue box for each misspelled word.  I have created a new Normat.dotx template with these boxes checked but when I create a new Word document, it opens a new Document with these unchecked.

 

Is it possible to have the Hide Grammer/Spelling errors boxes checked by default when opening a new document

Am new to MS Word 2010, and have a recurring KEYBOARD INPUT nuisance issue

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 11:04 AM PST

When inputting from the keyboard, the input (cursor location ??) often jumps up a line or two, causing me to have to stop, edit (clean up the now corrupted line), and replace the cursor (to the line I was working on)..  before continuing on; an awful (time consuming) nuisance.

Can anyone offer an explanation as to why this might be happening?

Thank you, Ken

Using IF THEN on an Address Block, Family Name v. Individual's Name

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 09:29 AM PST

I am trying to understand IF statements, but am stuck. What I am attempting is to create an address block with either a "Family_Name" or "First_Name Last_Name" when there is not a "Family_Name" and the balance of the address of course. If I have an Excel spreadsheet with my list of names and addresses, when building my Word Merge Doc associated with the XLS how do I accomplish having the address block read "First_Name" "Last_Name" where there is no "Family_Name" and just the "Family_Name" when there is one? Example:

Mail merge and INCLUDETEXT - formatting problem

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 08:46 AM PST

I have a main mail merge document that is basically just a nest of IF and INCLUDETEXT statements. Criteria in the data file causes a two-page document to be merged in. For all options, the included document is in 2 sections separated by a next page section break, and the second section has a footer that needs very specific formatting.

When the documents merge, the second page's formatting does not come through properly for any of the three documents that could be included - the bottom margin is too big and the footer is too far up the page.

The bottom margin in the main document is set the same as the included documents, and the footer height is also the same.
Is there anything else I should be checking?

Updating Links

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 08:26 AM PST

I have a template word 2013 document that I use that has linked excel charts that are in an excel template. When I start a new report I begin by copying the templates (word and excel) into the new assignment folder. When I do this I have to update the links. The file has a lot of links and it seems that I have to update them one at a time. They are all linked to the same excel file. I select all the links by selecting the first link, then shift, then the last link. But I still need to select the linked excel file individually for each link. Is there a way to just have all links updated to this same file at once?  

How to use Quick Parts in a template that is accessed on a network

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 07:58 AM PST

I have a Word 2010 template that uses content controls. It is an employee performance and evaluation template. The supervisor needs to be able to fill it out for the employee. There is an individual performance expectations section that I would like to be able to use quick parts for. The idea is to use quick parts to insert that section as many times as the supervisor needs to. The amount of times will be different for each employee. I saved the quick part with the same quick part inside it so the user could do this. (See picture below.) This template is loaded and deployed on our Intranet forms site. The user would open the form up from the site and save it to their computer. When they click on the template link, it opens it as a .docx and the quick parts do not work...even though it was saved as a template. Any idea how to get this to work in a network environment would be greatly appreciated!

Equations editor in word

Hey,

I recently purchased office 365. When I installed it, the equations editor did not work. I then tried installing the compatibility pack, but nothing changed. I then tried installing the 32-bit version but that would not start at all, nether with or without the compatibility pack. I then tried your fix it solution for "scrubbing" the system clean for all office versions and tried booth solutions again but with the same solution. I then tried the fix it "scrubbing" and then tried with an English version because my operating system is in English win7. On my laptop office and the equations editor in word worked fine, it is running win8. My desktop( where it is not working) is running 64-bit win7. The graphics card is Geforce GTX 680 and the graphics driver is geforce 332.21 (read somewhere that it could be relevant)

Creating automatic headers and footers when inserting landscape or A3 pages into a template

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 03:32 AM PST

Hi all,

I have designed a template, the template has headers & footers that are customised and these work very well, my first question is:-

 

I want to add protection to the Headers & Footers so that they cannot be edited

 

and secondly

 

I want to be able to add a landscape page that automatically updates the Header to landscape (as in A4 at moment) without having to go in and define this manually, I also want this to work if I add an A3 page in the document.

 

Any help would be great.

Word 2010 - Cross References & Captions - Creating Printing Errors

Hi all,

I created a document in Word 2010 as a docx, the document is quite big at 89 pages, I then changed the document to a .doc, so that users using 2003 would be able to access the document, this has created a printing nightmare, with loads of returns and tabs being inserted into the document where cross references have been used for captions, which then turns the document into 109 pages long

 

Can anyone please help me resolve this problem

Two really annoying things about Word 2007

2) Opening a new document when Word is already running because other documents are open causes those other document windows to raise.  THOSE ARE NOT THE DOCUMENTS I WANT TO LOOK AT.

And now a third about this post:

VBA: Change default folder for Import/Export File command

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:48 AM PST

This is probably a long shot, but is there an easy way to change the default folder that the VBE aims at when importing or exporting a module?

My PC very oddly prefers to default to a program folder in the hierarchy of the most recently installed program (??). For example, clicking File> Export File from the VBE today offers to save the exported module in  C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program, which not only is an inappropriate location for it but also would require administrator override to complete the save. And even after saving modules to another folder, it still tries to look in that folder when asked to Import. Ehh?

VBA to determine which tabstop is effectively utilised by a tab character i.e. chr$(9)

Posted: 18 Feb 2014 12:09 AM PST

I have been supplied with a very long (several hundred pages) document that has been set up "visuallY' into tables, however this has been done using using tabstops rather than an actual table. 

I need to re-format the document into a spreadsheet to perform some analysis on the data. To complicate matters, there is no consistency of the arrangement of the tabstops within each paragraph, and sometimes, for example, the text that starts ("belongs") in column 3 might over-flow through one or more subsequent columns, such that there is then only one tab character to place the next required text into column 7 (if the overflow extends to column 6, and there is no "actual" content for these over-flow columns in this row). Also, some columns are right aligned tab stops, and some are left aligned.

What is the best way, using VBA, to determine which column a range of text is "visually" in, so that I can export it to the correct target column in a spreadsheet? For confidentiality reasons I cannot supply the actual document, or even an extract, but I've constructed a generic illustrative example which I can supply, I'm just not familiar with specifically how to do that on this forum.

Thanks for any and all help.

Regards

JBR.


Two simple (?) questions

Posted: 17 Feb 2014 08:25 PM PST

1. Is there a way to default the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" to OFF? I never set it to ON.

2. Word (?) or Windows 7 (?): I ALWAYS want a closed window to return to the exact configuration (size, position, etc.) it had when I closed it. Is this an option anywhere?

Header behavior

Posted: 17 Feb 2014 07:54 PM PST

1. When I switch from editing the text to editing the page header, the page that's displayed takes a big jump to somewhere else. (!)

2. Also when I switch, the amount of text that fits on the page changes. (!)

3. These arbitrary-seeming behaviors make it much harder to work with headers. Is there any rational explanation? And is it any better in Word 2013?

Microsoft Inbox Rules

I am currently running IMF, a Spamblocker on a SMTP mail proxy, and
Spamcop and a few other RBL services and SPAM is still hitting my
network pretty hard. Through reading various posts I found that you
are correct, there is really no practical way to set up mailbox rules
remotely other than using rule.dll. After some testing I found that
even outlooks rules do not block the emails that I need to block.
Spammers are using graphics instead of text to prevent rule based spam
blockers from having any affect. Other than purchasing different
software as a SMTP proxy I don't know what to do from here. Does
anyone have any insight of things that have worked for their network?

DL's

Posted: 23 Feb 2006 05:20 AM PST

Hi,

Not really. As Bharat Suneja pointed out distribution lists are located in
active directory and you should therefore be able to see and expand these on
all your domain controllers. You might not be able to see the exchange tabs
of these DL's in your active directory users and computers on the DC's if
Exchange system manager is not installed on these, but you should still be
able to see the groups.

It would seem to me that this could be done easily on the client
(Outlook) side using the appropriate search params.

Can Exchange send an initial email for new mailboxes?

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 02:28 PM PST

Hi,

Did yoy check the welcome message you receive when you start Outlook for the
first time?

This message is located as an .eml file somewhere in the Outlook directory
and can be customized as desired.

EZ question about OWA

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 12:30 PM PST

If mailboxes reside on Exchange 2000 servers, you cannot get the OWA 2003
interface (even if all FEs are 2003). Upgrade the BE mailbox server(s) to
Exchange Server 2003.

Disreguard my last post. I see SP2 should fix this. I'll have SP2 on the
back end servers soon, hopefully that will do the trick.

Thanks again!

Import personal calendar into Shared Calendar

To add to Mark's reply - you're much better off *copying* the data from the
PST file into the public folder (or even to a mailbox calendar) than
importing. Open the PST file, change the view to something that displays it
in a table layout, select all/copy to the pf. Lower chance of corrupt data
that way.


Enterprise or Standard Edition?

Thank you Andy and Mark, appreciate it.

Scripting mailbox creation - delay in populating proxyAddresses property

Posted: 21 Feb 2006 12:41 PM PST

I don't mind posting the code, but I really don't think there is a problem
in the code per se. It is part of a fairly large script...

I create the User object and then assign values to basic Exchange parameters
with the .put method. Then that is committed with the SetInfo method.

Then I attempt to read the User.proxyAddresses property.

If I do this immediately after assigning the Exchange values I get an error
saying proxyAddresses is not a collection, which it should be. Immediately
after user/mailbox creation I can open ADUC and view the user's properties
in the GUI and verify the email addresses (proxyAddresses) do not exist.
Then after a pause of about 30 seconds the addresses appear.

If I pause the script, after creating the mailbox, until I verify the
addresses exist in the GUI, the script runs without problem. That is why I
think the code is OK. What might be missing is a way to force the address
generation...

SMTP with POP3

Also, many ISPs will block SMTP access to servers other than their own, so if
you are using road runner as an ISP, you have to use their servers to send
email. You'll be better off w/ OWA or the RPC over http which will use
80/443 stuff which is allowed pretty much anywhere anytime.....

Hi Jim,

You don't mention which version of Project you are using but in Project 2003
on the Analysis toolbar there is a Copy Picture to Office Wizard which steps
you through the process. If you don't have Prj 2003, I agree with Joel's
recommendation. Set up the view (Gantt chart etc.) how you want it to appear
and use the Copy Picture button on the Standard toolbar. If you have more
tasks than fit on a single screen you can select all tasks before clicking
the Copy Picture button to capture more tasks than appear.

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

I have never sent mpp files as too many can make changes to YOUR plan so I
only send PDF files. So, in your case, just print your Gantt, etc to a PDF
and mail it.

How about a hyperlink? It might not link to task 10, but it can link to a

How do I distribute task time evenly between Start date and finish date?

Posted: 17 Mar 2005 07:52 PM PST

That would tend to create a mess. You are mixing duration and work. A task
doesn't do an hour a day, a resource does. Assign a resource to the task
then:
Select Window, Split
In the lower task form set task type to fixed duration and edit the work to
be 10h
Click OK

You should then get what you want.

Project prompts user to log on again when idle for a while

Posted: 17 Mar 2005 04:13 PM PST

May have found a simple solution. Set project pro to save every x minutes.
Though no actual project is open, it seems to keep it active. I'll let it
idle over the weekend to see if its still the case.

Having troubles assigning percentage of time for resources on a t.

Posted: 17 Mar 2005 03:29 PM PST

Hi Laura,

If you create your 10 day duration task. Split the screen (Window>Split) to
show the Task Form at the bottom. In the Task Form, select Mary from the
drop down list and enter 10% in the units field. Click OK. Project will
calculate the work based upon the 10 day duration and Mary's assignment units
of 10%.

You are correct, if you initially assigned Mary at 100% and then dropped her
assignment units to 10% it will expand the duration, but if you initially
assign her at 10%, you should be all set.

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

Strange Behavior

Posted: 17 Mar 2005 12:11 PM PST

I was simply treating projected as "original".
I'd agree that you need baseline, actual and "forecast" where forecast would
be the start of tasks in the future. As you pointed out, actual is =
forecast for completed tasks. Better to just skip the term projected and use
baseline when baseline is what is meant. :-)

How do I include level of effort type activities in Project?

Posted: 17 Mar 2005 11:13 AM PST

Dale,

Thank you for the quick response. :)

I think I want to have my cake and eat it too. ;)

Project takes those level of effort hours and distributes them equally
across all days - which I understand. I'm using filtering to find available
resources for new task assignment, and these level of effort people aren't
showing up in the filter results - because they aren't available for 100%
allocation on that particular task day. These resources with level of effort
tasks need to be available for 100% allocation on any given day, with the
"missing" level of effort "effort" to be made up on another day. Instead,
they show up as over-allocated on those days.

Anyone with a fork? :)

Need help tracking Actual Hours

Posted: 16 Mar 2005 08:29 AM PST

If an [Actual Finish] date exists for a task then by definition all of the
work on it has been completed, has it not? And if it's completed it's 100%
complete. The [Work] field holds how much work it is *forecast* to take to
finish the task if it hasn't been done yet and how much work it *did* take
to finish it if it is completed - it is not a static record of the initial
estimate but rather a calculated amount of what was or will be required.
The only time the task is finished is when [Actual Work] >= [Work]. Posting
an [Actual Work] > [Work] will result in the [Work] field being recalculated
so it equals the Actual. But if the [Actual Work] is then edited to read
less than the [Work] field, the [Work] does *not* get recalculated again to
the lower value and again by definition there is still work to be done and
the task hasn't finished. The BASELINE Work is the field that holds the
original planned work and at any time, including after completion, both
[Work] and [Actual Work] can be less than, equal to, or greater than the
[Baseline Work]. Thus the Baseline is where you should be looking for your
projected values.

Just out of curiosity, why have you set all the tasks to "fixed work?" Not
that it might not be true some of the time but the task type should always
be a reflection of reality. If you have Joe assigned to a task with a
duration of 2 weeks and then he comes back to you and says "You know, I
think that's going to take me 3 weeks instead" wouldn't that usually mean
the total man-hours that the task is expected to take should be revised
upwards? If I go update the duration of a fixed work task from 2 weeks to 3
weeks in response to Joe's memo, its total work estimate won't change
(that's what "fixed" means). Instead it will show Joe now has a few hours
free time every day that can be assigned to other things which I doubt is an
accurate picture of reality.
