Microsoft Word - Cascading styles question

Microsoft Word - Cascading styles question


Cascading styles question

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 03:29 PM PDT

I'm a bit confused as to what parts of a style cascade in Word (2007).

I've read Shauna Kelly's document. However, when I try to get my styles to cascade only certain elements seem to filter down through the styles.

For example, if I set Heading 1 to Arial then I can get Headings 2, 3 and 4 to change to Arial too. However, I cannot seem to get the colour of the text to filter through or the size. Does the cascading bit only apply to the actual font type or should all the other elements be changeable too?

Thanks.

Microsoft Word files can no longer be opened with Microsoft Office Word – 2007.

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 03:12 PM PDT

I have recently found that my Microsoft Word files can no longer be opened with Microsoft Office Word – 2007. When I go to open them I get a Microsoft message – "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" When I tick the "Yes" box, another message then appears - "There was a problem sending the command to the program." When I activate the "OK" button the page does not fully open. I have not had any messages displayed in the past, & just double clicking on a file was enough to get it to open. Can someone please help me to get this issue resolved?

When I access my account and edit a word template I have in a chart, the word online is greyed out and I apparently don't have an appropriate word program on my mac.  Why is this greyed out and how can I change it?

Use Section Page Numbers in Word TOC

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 02:18 PM PDT

Hello,

I'm have a document in Word 2010 that has a Title Page, TOC page(s), and finally content pages. I've reset the content pages to start with page one (using a section break). How do I get the TOC to show the section page number instead of the actual position of the page in the document. Currently page 1 of the content section shows as page 3 in the TOC.

Thank you in advance,

Jake

Where is the Protect for Forms Function in Word 2007

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 02:10 PM PDT

in word 2003 I could protect for forms and add a simple password

If I didn't put any form fields in the document (Just text) no one could  select or copy and paste the text (i.e. no easy plagiarise) unless they first unprotected the document for which they had to have the password in other words the document and its contents were more secure than a PDF file.

Where is this function in 2007?

Enter Key Not Skipping Line--HELP!!

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 12:51 PM PDT

So I don't know what setting I may have changed but I can't find it. When I try to hit the enter key to skip down to a new line, the cursor moves a few spaces to the right. I hit the enter key again and it skips to the new line. But once I start typing, the text moves down an extra line. How can I fix this and what might be causing it. I need help because I'm in the middle of a huge project and this is driving me crazy!! Thanks to all.

Word document keeps cropping off the photo when printing.

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT

I have a PC setup for multiple users running Windows 7 - Office 2010 - Printing to a Konica C650.  All but one user can print our manuals with no trouble from the same PC.  When that user tries to print the pictures are cropped off about half an inch on the right side. 

These are the steps I've already tried: 
1.  Restart the printer and the print spooler.

2.  Reinstall the printer.

3.  Run MicrosoftFixit50599.msi to reset the default settings in Word.

4.  Repaired Office 2010 from the control panel.

5.  Cleared the User's and the System's temp files and restarted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

my documents shortcut

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 10:43 AM PDT

On our network in the office, on my computer only, My Documents does not go to the networked My Documents.  I have to go through office files on "n" etc.  Is there a way of creating a shortcut on the left of the open file menu that will take me directly to the networked My Documents.  I managed to do that when we used Word 2003, but I can't remember how I did it and as Word 2010 is so different, it would probably not apply anyway.  Could anyone help please.  Margaret

Using Smart Quotes with Word Online

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 10:41 AM PDT

I have my ipad office subscription and I love it.  When I use quotes through the Ipad app, I like that it uses Smart Quotes.

However, when I go on my PC and use Word Online, any new quotes are straight.  How can I get the word online through IE11 to default to Smart Quotes?

Backing up quick parts and autotext

Include Chapter Number and Chapter Title in one TOC entry

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 10:29 AM PDT

I have created a book that is divided into three Parts (I, II, and III) and nine Chapters. Each part begins with a Part Number (e.g. Part I) and a Part Title (e.g. This is the first part.) The chapters follow the same format with a chapter number (e.g. Chapter One) and a title (e.g. This Is the first chapter.) I have placed the part components at level 1 and the chapter components as level 2. The problem is that I want to the two components to appear on the same line in the TOC as:

Part I:  This is the first part ................................1

     Chapter One:  This is the first chapter.....3

I have seen elsewhere that you can simply use the title and add numbers for unnumbered entries but that does not do what I want. Please note that I want "Part" + Roman numeral for the part and "Chapter" + the number written in text for the chapter as this is how the actual part and chapter headings are written.

So far I have drawn a blank as to how to do this. I know that I could build TC entries with the appropriate text for each part and chapter but that doesn't seem to be very efficient and is time consuming.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Word Doc recovery help needed

There is a word doc that was created and a link was sent to me to access it on our network.  When going into the folder where it was to have been located it only shows the shaded file with ~$ as the 1st two characters of the name.  I have done a distinct search on the person's computer that created it and I cannot find anything.  I also cannot find anything on the network.  Any help would be appreciated.

Doctoral Thesis--Chapter format and merging

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 08:26 AM PDT

Good Morning,

Here's what i would like to do:  I am writing my chapters in separate documents--i.e. Part One--end notes; Part Two--end notes, etc....

How would I go about merging this into one complete document (Abstract page, Table of contents, then the chapters, so on and so forth...) while keeping, specifically, the end notes at the end of the chapters, WITHOUT Word maybe formatting it where the end notes at the end of the complete document? I haven't tried this, so I wouldn't know whether or not it would do this, but it is my guess that it might.

After merging it all separate aspects (i.e., which are at this point, separate files) I would like to convert it into one complete .pdf document using Foxit. 

Is what I'm asking doable or should I just add make a .pdf document that goes back-n-forth between adding each file to convert-to-pdf project?

Thanks, in advance, for any advice/insight that anyone can offer.

Kelvin.

Missing lines?

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 08:09 AM PDT

After typing a 50 page document I noticed that some of the lines are not appearing when using widow and orphan control. I know the words are still there because if I were to uncheck the box widow and orphan control all of the missing lines magically appear. I really do need widow and orphan control on. As you can imagine, it would be quite difficult and time consuming to manually adjust the entirety of a 50 page document, and every other 50 page documents in the future I will produce.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Microsoft Office 2010 only opens in Read-Only mode in Windows 8

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 08:08 AM PDT

Hi,

I just recently got a new computer at work that runs on Windows 8. Every time I open a word document now, one that has previously been working properly on my last computer (Windows Vista), it only opens in read-only and I have to enable editing in order to work on it. This poses issues for me because A) I have to make changes to the format when I enable editing and B) when I go to save the document, it saves under a new name. I work at a fast paced legal office and I simply don't have the time to SAVE AS, find the folder, and rename the altered document every single time I edit a document. I have seen all the threads regarding the Trust Center /Protected View and I have made sure that my security settings in word allow me to view documents un-protected.

Am I having these issues because I am not running the newest version of Word on the newest version of Windows?

Please help.

Thanks,

Kaci

Tracking Progress: are there any tools for this?

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 07:40 AM PDT

I'm writing something that has a lot of sections. Maybe 100 separate sections in a single document. What are some ways of tracking progress so that I know which sections are done, which are in progress and which are still untouched? And maybe even a way to make notes on what needs to be done to make a section complete (e.g. screenshots or research).

I've thought of changing the font colors to represent the different phases, but that seems crude, and would probably get distracting as I'm scrolling around.

What are some methods/tools that you'd suggest?

During track changes Word numbered all my tables automatically. Help

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 06:47 AM PDT

Hi, everyone,

My job entails reviewing other's documents, therefore, I use track changes a lot. Moreover, my documents usually contain a lot of tables with financial data. Lately, when I finish with the review and save the document, all the tables are in order, but if I exit the Word, and open the document again, all content in the tables is numbered (marked grey in the picture). I never numbered any part of this table or asked for it to be numbered, it just appeared and I cannot remove it easily, but have to enter every cell individually.


Please help,

Marina

Table of contents and table of figures appearing incorrectly, items reversed

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 06:10 AM PDT

I have been working with a document with a table of contents and figures which was all fine, but recently something has happened to it, and now the entire table of figures, and part of the table of contents have reversed i.e. the page number is appearing on the left hand side and the other information on the right.  I have no idea why this has happened, have tried running update table and nothing changes.  Any advice on how to correct it please?

Reference number when creating a bibliography

Is it possible to create a bibliography at the end of the document, showing ONLY the reference number in brackets in the text? Kind of:

...bla bla bla bla bla [1]. Bla bla bla bla...

Bibliography:

instead of:

Cannot save or save as a document that we've worked on before

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 05:01 AM PDT

My colleagues and I are working on a document--straightforward Word text document without a lot of data or figures. One of my colleagues worked on it, made tracked changes and comments. But now when we try and change something, we cannot save or save as. Nothing happens when clicking save or save as. Three of us have tried it, including the person who first worked on it, on three different computers (all with the same specs as above). I can't figure out why this is happening. Can you help?

Thanks!

Table Properties Not Functioning in Word 2013

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 04:59 AM PDT

Hello Everyone

I am having issues when creating tables in Word 2013. I have the 'Row' properties in 'Table Properties' set to have one row repeat as the header and to allow all rows to break across the page. 

However, neither of these is working on any table that I create. This has the effect of either bumping entire rows over to a second page, leaving small rows on a page themselves. OR text will give the impression of running behind the row and off the page, i.e. it is invisible on screen. 

I have played about with other settings, including 'Keep Lines Together' and saving the document in Word 2003 format, but nothing seems to work.

It is very, very annoying! Anyone got any ideas how to fix it? 

Thanks in advance.

MS Office Word Home and Student 2013 on Surface Pro - Save Pen Thickness

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 02:36 AM PDT

Hi,

I have installed MS Office 2013 on my Surface Pro with Windows 8. I want to use the Pen function on Word, however, it does not seem to be able to save the thickness and when a new document is opened, the default is a thicker pen. There does not appear to be any option to save/favourite custom pens - all I can do is alter the thickness and colour, with no other options visible. I have seen elsewhere that there should be more pen options, but there does not appear to be any available on this version. Any ideas? Thanks.

Setting up Word Custom Templates: Default Personal Templates location vs File Locations dialogue

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 01:50 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm trying to write instructions to help my those in my office install Office 2013. Briefly, here's my question: What is the difference between setting the "Default personal templates location" through Options > Save and setting the user templates location via the Options > Advanced > General > File locations menu. On my system, just changing the user templates location through the Advanced > File Locations menu didn't change where Normal.dotm was stored.

Why I ask: We have a number of custom templates in a folder on a network drive that need to be set up as workgroup templates on individual machines. We can do that through File > Options > Advanced > General > File Locations.... Not a problem. However, several of our early adopters currently have this network location incorrectly specified as their default user templates location. In order to avoid problems that are emerging with the shared "Normal.dotm" template, I need everyone to re-set the user templates location back to their hard drives. Making this user templates location change through the Options > Advanced > General > File Locations menu, though, didn't change where their Normal.dotm templates were stored. So, what's the difference in these two settings? Does everyone in my office need to make this settings change in both the Save and Advanced menus? 

Broader advice about how to deploy Office365 ProPlus with these settings pre-defined is also appreciated - documentation is a little spotty.

Thanks for your help!

Phonetic guide for Japanese issue

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 01:41 AM PDT

Hello,

Over the years, I've been using several versions of Word and the phonetic guide always worked fine. Now, with 2013 I found that most of the time when I select a phrase with kanji to add furigana (the hiragana reading above the kanji), not only adds hiragana to the kanji, it adds hiragana above the hiragana itself as well, which is meaningless and makes me lose a lot time deleting that useless part. For example:

If I write 助け合う it contains two kanji: 助 and 合, the remaining two are writen in hiragana, which is the basic reading. So, in previous versions of Word when I selected that word I got:

たす above 助, け(Nothing above it), あ above 合, う(Nothing above it).

In 2013 what I get is:

たす above 助, け(け above け), あ above 合, う(う above う).

Here is a link to an image:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10078989/Captura.JPG

The red O is the right procedure to show the furigana, the X is the wrong procedure that occurs with 2013.

Is there any way to fix this? 

Regards.

iPad Workflow: Open Word File, Save As New Name in new folder

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 11:11 PM PDT

Here's my pc workflow I'm trying to replicate using Office apps for iPad:

1. Open word file

2. Save As

3. Create new folder

4. Change Name and Save

5. Edit File

6. Save as pdf 

7. Email file

What I'm doing is opening a previous Meeting Agenda, Updating it with the latest details (today's date, meeting location etc) and then distributing it to teh meeting attendees.  

I'm trying to replicate this workflow in the new Office apps on the iPad - but I'm struggling to find how to copy files, and move them to a new location.  I'm not wedded to the order of the workflow, just need to achieve the outcome: use a previous word doc as a basis for a new doc.

In Word on iPad, there doesn't seem to be a way to Save As to give me the opportunity to rename the file.  

In OneDrive on iPad there doesn't seem to be a way to Copy a file.

There doesn't seem to be a way to output a Word file to a pdf file for distribution.

Appreciate any help or feedback.

Referencing a table inside a textbox with VBA

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 10:28 PM PDT

Hello,

I have been handed a word document that has had a table created inside a textbox. My task is to auto populate the cells of the table using VBA with data sourced from a database.

I can open the document and reference the shape that is the textbox, but I have no idea how to take the next step and get to the table.

Aside from redesigning the document to lose the textbox and just have the table, can anyone suggest a way to access the table?

Thanks

Word Automation

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 10:26 PM PDT

I'm creating a word document from within MS Access.

The document contains a table of six columns

I'm populating the table with data from a query quite successfully.

I want to add a hyperlink to the end of the text in column 1 of each row, but can't seem to work out the correct range setting

This code is within a  loop with a counter nRows

    rng.Tables.Item(1).Cell(nRows, 1).Range.Text = rs("Course") & " - " + rs("Descn")
   
    If Not IsNull(rs("CatalogLink")) Then
      Wordapp.ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=rng, Address:=rs("CatalogLink"), SubAddress:="", ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:=" More..."
    End If

Can someone please advise what the range setting of the anchor needs to be.

Thanks

Page numbering in Microsoft Word

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 09:29 PM PDT

I was wondering if there was a method in which to change how Word sequences page numbers. Almost every time I use the header to insert page numbers in sequence (1,2,3,4, etc.) the program just repeats the last two numbers as continual odd and even values (where the page sequence goes: 1,2,3,2,3,2, etc.) Would the solution to this be found by going through the page number options in the heading tool bar?

Automatically open additional .dotm templates in word 2010

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 08:18 PM PDT

Hi there,

We save some autotext info into some extra .dotm templates stored on a network share.

We can add these to word though options > add ins > templates > add, and check the box to access the autotext feature, however when we reopen word these templates are unchecked.

Is there a way to have these templates automatically selected?

Cannot register blog account in Microsoft Word 2013

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 05:20 PM PDT

Hi,

I am trying to register my Blogger account with Microsoft Word 2013 so that I can post blogs directly from Word. However, when I try to register the account, an error window appears and says that word cannot register my Blogger account.

The Help page on the Office website has this information:

I see a message that says Word can't register my account

  • Do you already have an account with a blog service provider? You must have a blog account before you can register it with Word. For more information, see the I don't have a blog yet section in this article.
  • If you are typing your user name and password, make sure that the information is correct. It should be the same information that you use to log on to your blog account. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure that CAPS LOCK is not on.
  • If you are using Windows SharePoint Services, make sure that you type the correct URL for your blog page. For more information, see the Help me fill out this section: SharePoint section in this article.

My case does not apply to this information as I have a Blogger account and I retyped my information many times.

I look forward to hear from you!

Alweys prompting to save document template

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 04:54 PM PDT

We run Word 2013 in Office 2010 in Windows 7 & 8 in our office. We use document templates. after an update some months ago, we are being prompted when we save any change in a document with "Do you also want to save changes to the document template?" and when we close the document we get prompted "You have modified styles, building blocks (such as cover pages or headers), or other content that is stored in "Quote 12.dot". Do you want to save changes to "Quote 12.dot"?" . In the word options for the document template, under Advanced/Save "Prompt before saving Normal Template" has been unchecked. All staff on all computers, windows 7 or 8 have exactly the same thing happening, when we open any document created out of the document template.

How do we stop these prompts?

Which macrobutton is best for a placeholder, and how to change the font of placeholder text in macrobtton

Posted: 14 Apr 2014 03:34 PM PDT

Hi,

Which macrobutton is best for a placeholder -  'AcceptAllChangesShown' or 'No Macro'?

And I know that if I highlight the placeholder text the highlight disappears, but is it possible to apply the style 'placeholder text' to the Macrobutton, while maintaining that the surrounding font determines the style of the replacement text once it is inserted?

Or is there another way to have the placeholder text look different to the repalcement text default?

Removing Resources Creates Negative Cost

Sandra,
I can't say that I've seen this type of behavior before but perhaps you
have stumbled unto the ultimate cost saving measure :-)

Seriously, a a few things that come to mind may hold the answer. First,
is the negative cost just on that particular task or on the whole
schedule? How many resources are assigned to that task? Does this same
phenomenon occur with that particular resource on other tasks? If all
resources are removed from that task, is there still a cost value
(positive or negative)? If that latter is true I suspect that at some
point in time a negative value was inadvertently entered directly into
the Cost field or the Fixed Cost field. You can easily check this by
displaying the Fixed Cost field and checking to see if it has a non-zero
value. If it does and it is unintentional, simply delete it.

Hope this helps.

Excellent!
Doesn't mean you can't ask questions, to the contrary, but I expact they
will now be much more directed.

As Julie said, you can usually activate a retail copy of an Office product
twice, once on your desktop and again on your laptop or similar device. But
the internet activation I think only works for the first computer. There is
a (toll free) phone number you can call to get the necessary activation code
for the second permitted device such as your laptop. But 2 is the max so if
that disk's serial number has been activated on your computer in the office
and the same key used on your desktop system at home, you've used up the
allowable installs and there's none left for the laptop.

I do wish that the various software vendors would realize that the idea of
purchasing a separate copy of their product for each computer in a household
is cost prohibitive for individual consumers. To require a business to
purchase a separate license for each workstation makes perfect sense but
there should be some sort of reduced cost home-user site license for
consumers who have more than one computer and are purchasing for household
and personal use. I have my desktop and also a laptop, my wife has her own
desktop and may be getting a laptop of her own one of these days, and my
daughter has her own computer for school etc - that means I need at least 3
full-retail copies of Office to be legal and costs many, many bucks out of
the household budget. IMHO we should be able to purchase a single copy of
Office and freely install it on all the computers we personally own
regardless of number. It's not such an issue with a $50 game but for a $500
to $750 or more productivity package it's another story - that's just a hell
of a lot of money for an individual consumer to find in the discretionary
purse. (Either that or the average consumer makes a whole lot more money
than I do). Alas, the good folks at Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, etc,
didn't ask my opinion before deciding on their licensing and activation
schemes.

how do i get cursive writing in microsoft word?

Posted: 30 Apr 2005 02:47 PM PDT

try posting in microsoft.public.word.newusers
but for a quick answer, select your text (control & A will select
everything) then from the menu choose format / font, on the right hand side
of this dialog box are all the fonts you have installed on your computer,
look through them until you find one you like ... suggested fonts - Monotype
Corsiva, Lucida Calligraphy
then press OK.

Retrieve the SPI of a previous status date using VBA/macro in MSP

Sadly, you have discovered reason number 243 NOT to rebaseline your
schedule. :-(

Next time you will want to use one of the 10 other baselines to resave.
That way you have the past ones for doing what you are asking.

In that case your macro would need to capture the current status date
in a variable

X = ActiveProject.StatusDate

Then set the status date to the old date

Activeproject.statusdate = "1/1/2000"

Then look at the SPI for the task and then set the Status date back to
the date in X.
