| Word 2007 in Window 8.1 Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:25 PM PDT I have two questions First - when printing an envelope, the printer prints the envelope then gets more data from the computer and tries to print a second envelope. I manually stop the printer then power off. Second - Word places an extra line after each line, like double line space is set on. I have gone into paragraph and set the line space to 1, but this doesn't fix the problem. I miss the "clear formatting" that was in Word 2003. TecRec |
| Automatically removing large spaces between words after switching to justify Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT Many times i have to deal with documents that have the paragraphs aligned to the left and need to be turned to justify. After doing this, those lines that have a line break at the end are forced to occupy the whole page width from left to right( minus margins), thus creating unusually large spaces between its words, especially if there are like 3 words on that line. now i need a solution to solve this, to make those large spaces regular spaces and to do this in a single command( or a short sequence of commands) for all the document. can it be done? |
| Saving as PDF is breaking Realtive Links to network locations Posted: 28 Mar 2014 01:49 PM PDT Hi, I write procedure guides, the for security reasons need to be PDFs, but I am having a problem with my links. Bookmark locations work just fine but I have a Relative link to a network share that when I save as a PDF doesn;t work right.
Here is the link I am making:
Display text: \\server.domain.local\deployment Link: file:///\\server.domain.local.deployment When I Ctrl+Clink from Word, this link opens in Windows Explorer directly to the correct network location, just like I want it to. But when I save the doc as a PDF (using the built-in "Save as PDF" function in Word) my link instead opens in my web broswer and the link is changed to Display text: \\server.contoso.local\deployment Link file://server.contoso.local/deployment This of course opens the correct location, but as the Index of \\server.contoso.local in a web browser. While overall it can be used in this fashion, domain permissions are obviously not going to be respected correctly.
Anyone have experience with this and a suggested resolution?
I'd like to be able to continue using MS Word for my tech manual writing, but this save as PDF thing is killing me. Thanks for helping gang! |

| Can I make offline mode the default? Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:56 AM PDT I just started using Word for iPad and will be using it mostly in areas with no internet/ cell phone connection. Often for weeks at a time. It looks like I am able to save documents to the iPad without internet, but I have to fight my way through multiple pop-ups telling me I have no connection to do so. Is there a way to turn on an Offline Mode where it will just save the documents to the iPad as the default without warning me multiple times that I have no connection, then upload them when a connection is regained a week later?

| Word 2010 and Word 2013 conflict in line breaks Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:32 AM PDT I just posted this question (but probably different title) -- and now cannot find it posted. So here it is again --and I apologize if this is a duplicate: I use Word 2010. When I open a document in Word 2013 the line and page breaks differ from the original. As an editor, keeping the lines and pages uniform is important. This has nothing to do with background pagination which is consistently deselected. However, when the sender of the Word 2013 doc converts to Word 97-2003 and I open it as such, the line and page breaks remain ok. Is there a way to open Word 2013 docs in Word 2010 where the line and page breaks remain the same? |
| Word only shows latest 20 posts from Sharepoint blog Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:10 AM PDT I use Word 2010 to manage a Sharepoint Online 2010 blog. I just noticed when I open the blog in Word not all the posts are accessible. It looks like older posts are missing from the dialog that shows the blog's content. I created a new instance of the blog in Word and it connected but showed the same limited list. I also tried "launch blog program to post" from Sharepoint but that has never worked and still doesn't. If it gives any clues, it appears Word only sees the last 20 posts - nothing after that. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? This feature is worthless if I can't access all the posts..... |

| Word cannot find link to (My)Documents folder Posted: 28 Mar 2014 09:10 AM PDT A friend of mine running Windows 7 and Office (probably 2007 but am not sure) cannot get access to her usual documents folder through Word or for attaching to email, although Windows Explorer seems fine. Unfortunately she has some history of someone else setting things up for her and neither of us knows exactly what they did. If she keeps her files on a memory stick she can manage for the time being but I want to re-organise & tidy up her C:\ file hierarchy and set shortcuts for her so that she has easy access from any Office/email program. Does anyone have experience of this problem?

| trying to have a button paste a paragraph Posted: 28 Mar 2014 09:09 AM PDT So I am helping make a document more functionable for my work. In this Word 2010 document I have this section that I will pass on to my customers who are supposed to fill it out. This one section is about a page in length and has radio buttons and drop-down menus in it. The customer is supposed to fill this section out for every product they have (which can range from 1-20 different products). Currently I have been just telling customers that if they have more than one product they just need to use copy and paste. My task was to find out if there could be a way that I could use a button that could paste the previous page if the customer would need to do so. So then in essence I would only need to put the page in once and then the customer could just click the button or whatever to add another section they could fill out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

| How to select the text in a character style, and then clear the style Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:37 AM PDT My question is this: Is there a better way than what I have set out below to accomplish the objective set out in the title? I wanted a quick and certain way for users to remove all the formatting applied by certain character styles (including any spaces that might be "invisible" to the user). I thought there should be an easy way to select all the text covered by a given character style that is "active" at the insertion point (IP) - after all, there is a somewhat similar functionality available with a right-click in Word, choosing "Styles" and then choosing "Select Text with Similar Formatting". Since you can get the name of the style at the IP, it seemed that maybe something like this would work: strMyStyle = Selection.Style ... If Selection.Style = "MyStyle" Then Selection.Styles(strMyStyle).Select Selection.ClearCharacterStyle End If ... However, the "Selection.Styles(strMyStyle).Select" syntax is not valid. In fact, the logic (or lack thereof) in how one can access the methods and properties of styles via Selection seems convoluted. I figured it best to take Jay Freedman's advice on this forum from a couple of years ago: "(Don't ask why -- that way lies madness.)" So I came up with a solution that is quite flexible -- it is set out below. The user just has to put the IP in or immediately before or after the styled text, then run the macro (keystroke shortcut, right-click or other method). The macro ensures that the whole style is cleared. [I considered using Find, but at least for my purposes that left too much chance of "leftovers" or other problems. There are a couple of small inefficiencies in the macro, but they are insignificant and seem to make the logic a little clearer.] Thanks for any advice you can give. EdH48 Sub Remove_Character_Style()
'*** Removes "L93*" character style at IP or start of selection.
Dim lngEnd As Long
Dim lngStart As Long
With Selection
.Collapse wdCollapseStart
lngStart = .Range.Start
lngEnd = .Range.End
Do While ActiveDocument.Characters(lngStart).Style Like "L93*"
lngStart = lngStart - 1
Loop
Do While ActiveDocument.Characters(lngEnd + 1).Style Like "L93*"
lngEnd = lngEnd + 1
Loop
ActiveDocument.Range(lngStart, lngEnd).Select
.ClearCharacterStyle
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
End With
End Sub

| Word character styles that end in "Char" or "Char Char" or "Char Char Char", etc Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:14 AM PDT Hello, The following helpful tip from Cindy Meister discusses these annoying character styles and how to get rid of them: Removing "Char" styles from a document http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MyFavTip.htm#CharStyl Sadly, I cannot get this code to work in 2013. I experience a COM exception problem when running similar code in VB.Net. I believe the article relates to a much older version of Word, so I wonder if it is still relevant. Therefore, before spending too much time trying to fix this problem with her approach, I thought I would try the following different approach: Create a "Char Char" etc style manually. Then delete it manually and see if the related paragraph style remains intact. If it does, my problem is solved, because we can easily write code to iterate through a document and delete all "Char Char" etc styles. Sadly, however, I cannot figure out how to create a "Char Char" etc style manually. Can anyone walk me through how to do this? Many thanks. Keith P.S. Sorry for not bringing up my actual question until the very last paragraph, but I thought the background context would be helpful to the reader. |

| Word gives a 'shadow trace line' on the desktop screen after closing Posted: 28 Mar 2014 04:43 AM PDT When ever I close a 'Word 2013' document it does not go off clean from my desk top. The margins remain there as a shadow with 4 corners. This is seen only when the Word file is 'resized manually by dragging' - to see some other page also in front of me. A screen shot of only one of the 4 corners of the shadows is attached. This is problem is applicable only for Word. Not for 'Excel' or 'power point' or 'One Note'. No Physical problems with the computer. Tried re-Installation of Office, but problem persists. Please advise

| Word's built-in dialogs all suddenly opening very slowly Posted: 28 Mar 2014 04:27 AM PDT For some reason all of Word's built-in dialogs are now opening very slowly -- they take a good 4 seconds or more; but all had opened relatively instantaneously until a few days ago. For example, the Font dialog (whether via CTRL+D or the ribbon group corner arrow), the Macro dialog (ALT+F8, or View> Macros> View Macros), and the Paragraph dialog (ribbon group corner arrow or ALT+O, P), all take an unnervingly long time to appear. I unloaded all VBA and COM add-ins and the Normal template; no change. Oddly enough, all of the custom dialogs (userforms) that I've built still launch immediately -- even those that do a lot of work in their Initialize events, such as creating a large array on the fly & loading it into a combo box. What could be causing this? The identical setup on my very similar second PC behaves just fine. The only major difference is, that's a 64-bit machine and the problem PC is a 32. The latter has alway been slightly less responsive, but nothing like this. Excel and PowerPoint don't seem to have the problem, just Word. Any ideas? TIA. Mark |

| How add bullets to numbered list without the numbers being deleted? Posted: 28 Mar 2014 01:14 AM PDT I have noticed that adding bullets to a list (with numbers that were already there, meaning I added them myself), Word 2013 automatically deletes these numbers. For example I add bullets to this:
3 Elements (1) Conduct (2) Circumstances (3) Result This is the end product: - 3 Elements
- Conduct
- Circumstances
- Result
Is there some way to add bullets while retaining the (1) (2) (3)? I've searched around but haven't found anything helpful. I know you can do this in OneNote but I'd like to stay in word for this assignment. Thanks very much! |

| Quick parts building block loads and then disappears Posted: 27 Mar 2014 11:47 PM PDT Hi - was wondering if someone can help me please (hopefully i have described the issue clearly) I have multiple quick part text that is save into multiple categories in MS word 2010 The word template then contains multiple building block gallery content controls which filter the quick parts block that can be used in a particular area of the word template. For some reason when i assign a particular gallery to one of the controls, the control loads with the choices that it has been assigned, and then disappears a few seconds later when i go to choice one, so i am unable to make the selection (the list refreshes and shows up as a blank list). It only occurs when i select that particular category for the control, as all the others seem to work fine. I have tried recreating the quick parts, tried them as auto-text, tried calling them something else ,locating the control somewhere else in the document and even recreating the whole template again with everything fresh however the same issue occurs with that particular control. Am baffled, given all the others work par the one and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Cheer Marchi

| Importing stylesheets in Word 2013 Posted: 27 Mar 2014 06:39 PM PDT Prior to using 2013, I was able to import style sheets to existing (horribly formatted) documents without issue using the organiser (close, nave to doc with template with styles you want, copy them to the open file etc). Now when I follow the process, the styles come across and the numbering and indentation remain intact however the font changes and each style needs to be modified/updated individually. Is this a known problem and is there a workaround or am I totally missing something? This is killing me and I've burned more than enough time on it! Thanks in advance. |
| Trying to restore autosave/autorecovery files Posted: 27 Mar 2014 05:32 PM PDT You know how they say there are no stupid questions?
I had a flash drive fail recently. For various reasons, most of which ultimately stem from the fact that I am an idiot, I had a large amount of important work saved to the flash drive (mostly DOC and DOCX; maybe a few RTFs) and nowhere else. I'll spare you the boring details, but the flash drive is dead, and for now I am out that large amount of important work.
The computer in question is running Windows 7 and has Microsoft Office 2010 Starter installed onto what I believe is a hard drive partition (it has the drive letter Q, separate from C, but I'm virtually certain it's not on a separate disk). My only hope at this point is to use an "undelete" program to check for autosaved versions of those files, and I'm wondering where to look. Right now I'm looking in
C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\UnsavedFiles
and I'm not finding anything too interesting, as I think those are only files that I at one point had open, but never saved to a physical location.
What I'm wondering is whether there are any other folders that might also have at one point contained any files of interest, specifically autosaved versions of files I was working on that were stored on the flash drive; I know I've seen autosaved files that weren't saved to the same directory as the file itself. And I've recovered unsaved Word documents during power outages, etc., so I know they're being saved somewhere. Should I poke around in Q as well, or is that simple application data?
I'd like to do the same process with some Excel files as well (opened in Excel Starter, obviously), but I'm much more concerned about the Word files at this point). |
