| User issues in shared Excel 2007 and Window 7 Posted: 16 Apr 2014 03:00 PM PDT We are using Windows 7 and Excel 2007. Excel is being shared between 2 users. When user 1 opens a file - it indicates only that user as "who has the workbook open now". User 2 is able to access the file too with no problems. However if either user tries to open another file, they are given the option to either read or notify. Once the notification is hit, the user is able to read/write. Everytime a new file is open "who has this workbook open now" shows multiple user 1 and user 2. The license is for only 2 to share. But because the system is adding multiple users we have to request notify first. Hoping someone can help. |
| Why does Word do this? How can I change it? Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:40 PM PDT I have in front of me a 120-page document. This document includes merged files and many tables. It has a margin setting at "Narrow" (0.5" for every side). The style is set at "No Spacing." It has been typing fine across the page to fit the margins. Until it hits the bottom part of one page, where it suddenly only types about 2/3 the way across the page and starts on the next line. The only way to keep typing on the first line is to add a space after every word the next line down. As far as I can tell, there are no section or continuous breaks and there has been nothing changed as far as the Style or the Paragraph goes. It is just a number of pages that have a sudden block of text that only exists for 2/3 the page. |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:34 PM PDT I think I have a case of a little knowledge is dangerous in terms of creating templates. I created a template (you can see it and the file below at http://1drv.ms/1hMsHvr in my Public folder). Every time I create a file based on it, save, that file, and reopen it, I get this message--I haven't modified any styles, etc., that I'm aware of. I have to fix this. Short of recreating this template from scratch, I would certainly like to know what I can do to fix it. Any help greatly appreciated. I think when I was creating my original template, I was saving some styles and linked something somewhere back to Normal.dotm. Just guessing, but maybe that provides a clue to my issue. I went back and renamed Normal.dotm, which had some styles in it I had apparently added by mistake. I hoped that would resolve it, but it didn't. I also removed those odd styles (EVENT NAME and Style 1) from the 7.itinerary.dotx template. No luck either. Word is also crashing when I open the finished template file. What a mess. |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:34 PM PDT Having just signed up for and loaded Office 365, I am frustrated and very unhappy about the fact that: 1--my search system didn't find it when I typed in the search term (Windows 8.1) 2--once locating the app/program, both times I attempted to launch the software to create a document it failed without ever fully launching. What do I need to do now. I don't have time for a tutorial on how to use Word. I'm okay with Word and know that there is a curve for learning the method of access, but this is insane. |
| Help! Can't Find Document I was Working on From a Compatible Version from Email Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:04 PM PDT Hello, I have Microsoft Office 2010. Yesterday I opened an attachment of a Microsoft Word File that was made with the 97-2003 version of Word. I worked on it for several hours pressing "save" periodically. I did not save it to the desktop or use "save as" to save it into 2010. It already had a title I was fine with so I just periodically pressed "save." I then closed it down for the night. When I went to open it again this morning, I couldn't find it. I looked in my recent documents, my temporary files, and everywhere else I could think of. What could have happened to it? Can I recover it? Thanks for any insight. |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 11:25 AM PDT I know how to add item(s) to a contentcontrol drop down list, but how do you remove one, the last one? A users initials are added to the drop down boxes in a form on entry to the document. How could you remove the last entry in the box before adding a new one? Frank |
| MS Office - how to change the <quick buttons> to have them as in previous version? Posted: 16 Apr 2014 10:25 AM PDT in MS Office 2013 the <quick buttons> are not like before. For example: to save the document one could use <ctrl+s>, now it is <shift+F12>; etc. How to come back to the previous system? Thanks in advance! |
| Fillable Form in Word 2010 Question Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:56 AM PDT I have a fillable form created in a Word 2010 Doc. Is there any way to set the <enter> key to move to the next field as opposed to adding a line? This goofs up my layout on a very tight form. The whole purpose to doing the form in the first place was to lock down the layout! Thanks in advance for any help! Scott |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:52 AM PDT I pin a document to the taskbar: Screenshot 1: and if I click "New" the document is opened as a new document, but the original is unpinned and I cannot select "new" anymore from the context menu for that document: Screenshot 2: If I right click the document titled "Verification" in the screenshot above, I get the same context menu options in screen shot 2. This is driving me crazy. It does it on my work and home computers. I have office 365 and have disabled all add-ins on both machines, yet this still happens. |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:51 AM PDT When I click on any of the Microsoft office icon (power point, excel) they open up. But when I click on Microsoft word, its does not open up. Because of this, I cannot open any of the important files. Can somebody guide me to sort out the problem and solve it? Thank you |
| What is in the Custom XML data, what created it, and why? Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:45 AM PDT I have a .docx file that I am working on with a team of people at work. We are all (I believe) using Word 10. It's a pretty big document (about 200 + pages) and the file has grown to be really enormous - about 3.6 MB. There are no graphics embedded in the file, nor are they any objects from other programs. It's just a Word file. Today I tried an experiment. I went File, Information, Check For Issues, Inspect Document Among the results of the inspection, it reported the presence of "Custom XML" data. I had the Custom XML data removed and the file, which appears to a Word user to be unchanged from where I started, shrank from 3.6 MB to 469 KB. It's now about 12% the size it was. What the heck is going on here? What is in this "Custom XML" data? None of us working on the document added it. We don't even know how to look at it. The experience leaves me with the following questions: What is creating all this data? Is it of any value of me? Can I look at it? Can I control/prevent its creation and accumulation? If I send the file to somebody else, and they know what they're doing, can they see it? I'd be grateful for any information on this. Thank you. JPB |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:41 AM PDT When I try to open any of the Microsoft Office suite (I have 365), I get the following error message: WINWORD.EXE - Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application. This just started appearing after I updated to Windows 8.1 two days ago. I have done everything I could think of and have dug through some of the questions on the forums and tried those suggestions, but I still can't find a fix. I don't know if anyone else may have had a similar issue after the update. Thanks! |
| I am new to Word 2010 and need help with resetting to the default settings on the File/options page. Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:02 AM PDT I am trying to set up a simple/non formatted page. After watching some tutorials and searching for help I found the options page to change the settings for this project. When I went to work on another new project the settings carried over........and this was not wanted in this project. I know how to fix the settings easier now after some research. I have no idea how many boxes I had to uncheck (before I looked up a simple way to undo "stuff") to get my first project basically un-formatted. What I do not know how to do or find is........ how to reset factory settings on the File/options page. Thanks for any and all help. |
| Word 2007 messes up the formatting of outside documents Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:02 AM PDT I have some users when they get a word document emailed to them from an outside source, the format in Word 2007 keeps messing up. We are running Microsoft Office Professional 2007 in Windows 7 Professional service pack 1 , 32-bit. Any reason why this keeps happening? Don't know what the outside source is running or how many people has revised it before coming to my users. |
| Printing issue of one line of type cutting off in the printing in the middle of the document Posted: 16 Apr 2014 08:38 AM PDT When working on Word documents, after sending the document to the printer it comes back with a line in the middle of the document being cut in half like there's an invisible box on top of it but the rest of the document print out ok. This has happened in a newsletter and in a tri-fold brochure, both are set up in column form. |
| Unable to download to word 2007 in 8.1 Posted: 16 Apr 2014 08:00 AM PDT I have Office 2007 installed on computer running Windows 8.1.

| MS Word 2010 - Track Changes Feature Posted: 16 Apr 2014 06:58 AM PDT Hi, Is there a way to remove the user information (all) from a document utilizing track changes and retain the tracked changes? I didn't think you could, but wanted to make sure. Thanks! [Moved from Community Participation] |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2014 06:19 AM PDT My leaders want us to create our training manuals in an ezine format. We want them to be available in our Learning Managment system, not via the Internet. We have Windows 7 and Office 2013. I know I can create a magazine/book format in Word. But can I include the navigation (forward, back, print, save) ezines have? Or the page turning effect? Thank you, Marnee |
| Autocorrect in Microsoft Word 2013 missing. Posted: 16 Apr 2014 06:01 AM PDT Hi, For some reason the 'autocorrect' in Microsoft Word 2013 is not working. I went to at least fifty 'answers' in this forum only to be redirected to half explanations or long tutorials about highlighting each sentence first to spell and grammar check. What I need is a straight answer: How do I turn on the Microsoft Word feature that automatically changes my writing of misspelled words and suggestions on grammar? I misspelled a word on purpose and it didn't get the squiggly line telling me the word was spelled wrong, nor did it tell me the word was spelled wrong on the grammar and spelling check when I was through. So, simple; IS there a way to bring back this feature, like in the previous versions of Word? If the answer is yes then could you tell me what steps to take to turn it on. If the feature is gone, or if it now has to be checked sentence by sentence, then please tell me that so I can go back to my old Microsoft Word. Thanks in advance and shame on Microsoft for whatever wacky reason they might have for getting rid of this invaluable feature, if that is the case. Plus making me spend all this time trying to find a simple answer to a simple question. I don't CARE if the misspelled word MIGHT be a word in Italian. All I want is my spelling and grammar check back. (I'm not yelling at any kind responder for helping me, just the morons that would make it so hard to find out how to turn spellcheck on. it should be 'on' by default and have to be turned 'off'.) Thanks in advance. |
| Copy Cover Pages from one Template to Another Posted: 16 Apr 2014 05:59 AM PDT A coworker has given me one of her Word2007 templates so I can copy some of her features into mine. She has five cover pages which I need to cover into my new template to be used for entirely different subject matter. There is on the Cover Page tool at the far left of the Insert tab of the Ribbon. How can I copy her cover pages into my template so they appear in my Cover Page listing. We are currently in Office 2007 on Windows XP, but anticipate an upgrade to Office 2010 and Windows 7. Hopefully the procedures will not differ too much from one environment to another. Thanks Pat |
| Office 2013 - The file is Corrupt Posted: 16 Apr 2014 05:33 AM PDT Hi, I've just installed Office 2013 and now when I try to open Word/Excel files I get an error message saying the file is corrupt. This is not happening on ALL files, but about 90% of them. I know however that the file is not corrupt as it opens fine on all other pcs on the network. Any help would be appreciated. |
| Creating labels from a text file Posted: 16 Apr 2014 03:54 AM PDT I hope there's a simple solution to this task. OS is Win 7. I have Office Pro 2010. I also have Avery Address Labels #5160. I have a text file with many lines in it. I'd like to place one line of text from the text file on a single label. Each line is used exactly once. Example: text file contains: 1) This is line one 2) This is the line after one 3) This is the third line 4) Goes on and on... So I'd like my label sheet to look something like: |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| | 1) This is line | 2) This is the | 3) This is the | | one | line after one | third line | | | | | |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| | 4) Goes on and | | | | on... | | | | | | | |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| | | | | | | | | | | | | |--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| ... Is there an easier way to do this without copy/pasting each line onto each label? Solution should be able to handle several hundred lines in the text file/multiple label pages. Thanks, Jeff |
| Table text turns to superscript Posted: 16 Apr 2014 03:01 AM PDT I'm using Word 2007. Every time I copy a table in one Word document and paste it into another, the text font in the table switches to Supercript! Cut and paste options are all set at "Match destination formatting". I must select the text and uncheck the Superscript check box in the Font formatting box. Both Word documents use the Normal paragraph style. |
| German Language pack for Microsoft Word 2010 does not work for me Posted: 16 Apr 2014 02:10 AM PDT I have bought and installed the German Language pack for Microsoft Word 2010. However it does not automatically appear. How do I access it? And can I have a simple switch option between the English and German versions of Word? I want the German Word to be completely in German just as the English Word is completely in English. At present I feel as though I have been robbed of $40. |
| Word, Excel and PowerPoint won't open Posted: 16 Apr 2014 01:13 AM PDT I have a huge problem affecting Word, Excel and PowerPoint. A couple days ago I noticed Word, Excel and PowerPoint wouldn't open. When I try to open Access or Outlook, they open fine. The Computer doesn't give me any error, it just "ignores" my request to open any of those three programs. I already tried to start those programs in safe mode (excel /safe, etc.), reinstalling MS Office again, and repairing it; but it did not change at all. What could be affecting those programs? Any other program works just fine, even other Office products like Outlook, OneNote and Access, which are installed with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Thank you for your help |
| What won't my large Word 2010 document save? Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:27 AM PDT I have a Word document of approximately 800 pages roughly 11MB in size. When I try to save it as a .docx file it dosn't work. The Save As dialog box just keeps coming up. It works fine when I save it as a Word 97-2003 .doc file. I understand that it is a large file, but it seems to be way below the limit for a Word 2010 document (32MB according to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211489). So why can't I save it? And if it's because of size, why doesn't Word tell me so? That would be helpful. Also, why can I save it as a 97-2003 file but not as a 2010 file? What sort of software upgrade increases rather than lessens file size limitations?! Josh |
| Word Formating - how to use shortcut for Paste and Keep Soruce Formating? Posted: 15 Apr 2014 11:19 PM PDT Hi, While pasting you can keep source formatting by clicking the options available on Paste icon. On that icon tool tip it shows you can use shortcut (K) but I am not able to use it. How to use that shortcut? I tried: Ctrl+V+Ctrl+K Ctrl+V K Ctrl+V+K but no luck.. |
| Continuous Numbering - Multiple documents MS Word 2007 Posted: 15 Apr 2014 10:29 PM PDT OK. so... I have followed similar (read, identical) instructions from several different sources on how to continue (sequential) numbering across multiple document.
Now these are a little vague and incomplete. This is what i actually did;
This is all good and well. I do not get any errors. I get a page number. I GET THE PAGE NUMBER OF THE LAST PAGE IN THE FIRST DOCUMENT! That is not "continuing" that is copying the last page number of the first document into the first page of the second document. So now. if i were to print both documents i would have two page fours! How do i create CONTINUOUS SEQUENTIAL page numbering across two or more documents without using macros? |
| Print driver that outputs Word *.doc file Posted: 15 Apr 2014 10:13 PM PDT Does anyone know of a product that installs a print driver on Windows 7 (x64) that outputs a Word2003 *.doc file.

| MS Office 2007 on Windows 8 causes problems with Comments Posted: 15 Apr 2014 06:38 PM PDT Hello We are working on a document and use comments to track ideas and exchange thoughts. I use MS Word 2007 on Windows 8.1. I had difficulties installing it, and had to run a program that modifies the registry to complete the installation. My colleague uses MS Word 2010 on Windows 7. We are both working on the text itself and are adding comments as well. After a few rounds of iteration, the comments suddenly become glibberish. Proper english turns, for example, into this: ²›éùõŠ0A?i¥ëŒ…â¨ÍðG~uŽJê{æd ¹S% è‑¨ÁÐdâ<›èÃvîW+£©½ ÚŸ·s¼ØrÛC›¡ŠƒS %éÙ/)…Ènì› ZÇrLyÒõð(CZνÇøí*2è'F)±²ÅêIì‚vi<±õ…ý oHú Ü&üjccf‡pô=~;¼ã¨ç¡b¨C¶ (copy pasted from the document). It impairs our collaboration. Furthermore, we cannot attach any graphics to the document anymore. The document just displays a white picture with a black frame. We suspect a compatibility issue of this setup. But before I upgrade to another office, I would like to know whether this problem is known and what fixes might be appropriate. Thanks for your help |

| Word 2013 crashes after 2 envelopes Posted: 15 Apr 2014 05:43 PM PDT I have just upgraded to Word 2013 and Outlook 2013. I can not print more than 2 envelopes with out Word crashing. it then reopens. I am using the envelopes tab and an Address book that I imported from my old Outlook 2010. The addresses seem to open fine but when I go to print, I can get 1 or 2 envelopes to work and then it closes. Do not want to use Mail Merge as I am only using a few different addresses at a time. I have used Word 2010/Outlook 2010 like this with no problem. Any suggestions? |

| Posted: 15 Apr 2014 04:50 PM PDT Hi team, I designed a logo months ago and used a custom green color for the background. I want to use that color elsewhere and need the RGB code. When I place my cursor in the text where the background color resides and look at the RGB code, it shows black (0,0,0). How do I find the RGB code? This never happened in Word 2007. I'm starting to sound like a broken record. Sorry about that, and thanks for any insight you can offer. Lee |
