Word document heading. Can you change the format in the middle of a document?

Posted: 09 May 2014 03:39 PM PDT

Hello,

I posted this for Office Word 2010 but I use everything from 2007 to 2013 depending on what computer I have available.

I am in the process of creating a document that has multiple chapters and appendices. As commonly done when formatting I would like to number the chapters, but use alphabets for the appendix. Ideally it would look something like this.

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

...

Chapter #

Appendix A

Appendix B

Appendix C

The main reason I would like to do this is to have a table of contents that would auto-update, and be able to automatically number figures or tables in the document. This would hopefully look something like this.

Table 1.1 ... Table 1.#

Table 2.1 ... Table 2.#

Table A.1 ... Table A.#

Table B.1 ... Table B.#

Is it possible to change the numbering format like this? I have tried using a different heading, but then the numbering becomes weird because it looks like it needs to be uniform throughout the document. (Table heading1.#)

If anybody has some experience or advice on how to do this it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Problem with G Mayor "SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn" macro

Posted: 09 May 2014 03:02 PM PDT

I have been looking for ways to save a word document in multiple locations and have found the "SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn" by GMayor. I have the macro installed but everytime I try to run it, I get a "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings."

I have tried the following:

- Re-installing the macro

- Choosing "Allow all macros" option

- Made the Microsoft/Word/StartUp folder location as a "trusted location" under trust centre

- Checked that the macro has loaded in "Templates and Add-ins"

I am not sure what else I can do to make this run. I am using Word 2013 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Thanks.

Citations not found in footnotes

Posted: 09 May 2014 12:04 PM PDT

When generating a Table of Authorities, the cases/rules/statutes that are in footnotes are not listed in the TA.  Also, after printing the document, "Error!  Bookmark not defined" shows up whereever a citation was marked.  I looked at the discussion board and they suggested a hotfix, but the hotfix was for Word 2007 and not 2010.  Also, it stated a different issue within the footnote (long citations were changed to short citations).   Please advise.

Word 365 crashes every time Spell Check is open and Find and Replace is opened

Posted: 09 May 2014 11:38 AM PDT

This is a repeatable error, and occurs every time.

  1. Open Word document
  2. Start Spell Check
  3. Find a word or phrase which needs replacing several times and where Find and Replace is necessary
  4. Open Find and Replace (leave Spell Check open)
  5. Enter details into Find and Replace and start running (eg replace all)
  6. Word crashes - every time.

I now try to remember to close Spell Check before Using Fins and Replace, but occasionally I forget, and Word crashes.

Word 2013 Spell Check objects to date abbreviation (eg 13th)

Posted: 09 May 2014 11:25 AM PDT

I have just come across an unusual situation while Editing a story.

Word Spell Check stopped at  the abbreviation after the date (number), and flagged it as an error - "then speak your answer. I and the 13th circle will arrive tomorrow "

I'm not aware of changing anything to tell Word to pick this up. In fact, apart from adding some dictionaries, I haven't made any changes to the standard proofing settings.

In the following example, I typed it in myself and Word accepted it as correct. (Mine is the first 13th... The problem, seems to be the formatting of the "th".

I checked the formatting (see screenshots below), and it is indeed a little unusual and perhaps not surprising that Word picked it up. I would suggest, however, that this formatting can't be all that unusual (story copied from the internet) and that perhaps Word should recognize it for what it was attempting to do.

 

Aside: What do the experts prefer we use, Office 2013 or Office 365?

Watermark compatibility

Posted: 09 May 2014 10:13 AM PDT

Hello folks,

I am currently making myself a new Microsoft Word template, containing the special symbol called a weierstrass p. It looks like ℘ and its Unicode code point is U+2118. However, I recently installed a version of Droid Sans Fallback, which has a nicer looking version of the symbol. The problem is though, it would not be displayed when a file with it is passed over to another computer.

My question is, how I best could make it compatible?

why no KEEP WITH PREVIOUS??

Posted: 09 May 2014 09:53 AM PDT

is there a way to keep captions with their figures???

as to a table you can actualize that by setting "keep with next" in para box

whereas there's no "keep with previous" to stick to figures

and again it's way too bothering to set tables for those pics&caps, can I just get an alternative here for "keep with previous" contrary to "break page before"???

Arial Bold woes

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:47 AM PDT

Hi there,

If I format text with "Arial", applpy "Bold" and then modify other font attributes of this text, the system often switches the font from "Arial" formatted as bold to "Arial Bold" still formatted as bold.  This happens, when, for instance, I change the character spacing to "Condensed 0.2 points" (or any other value). However, If I use "Arial (Body CS)" and perform the same steps, "Arial Bold" does not appear.

The problem is that later on, all those instances of "Arial Bold" actually lose the Bold formatting or the text is suddenly formatted with "Times Roman" as if the system could not find "Arial Bold" and replaces it with Times. And since I work with documents that are old and that have been formatted by countless people over the years, the "Arial Bold" issue is always creating havoc, especially when I generate PDF files as I must and then later find out that Times Roman is all over the place where it should not.

Can I prevent "Arial Bold" (as a font name) from appearing at all, or else how can I get it to behave?

Thanks.

Can't print in colour!

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:46 AM PDT

I've just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and although I can print in colour from the internet, I can't print in colour from Word 2013 and it's driving me crazy! I've checked the printer properties and it's set to print in colour, my grayscale is off, test pages print in colour, I've been in and out of Printer Properties and just can't see where it needs to be adjusted! Please help before I have a breakdown or take a hammer to it.

Password Protected Word Document

I password protected a word document then used the quickaccess toolbar to email.  The email recipient was able to open the word attachment without the password.  I use the quickaccess toolbar to email all the time and have never had this issue. If I use "attach" in the email it requires the password to open.  How do I correct?

When a complete table splitted into pages...How can I???

Posted: 09 May 2014 08:44 AM PDT

ban word from splitting it in the first place..

then if the table is too long to hold within one page, how can I ban word from applying the style again?????

my table style is like this to be exact

now the quest is, when the table has to cross this page, there should be if you try, at least 4 bold lines in total as word reapply the style, but all I need is only 2, one bold at the very top, and the other at the very bottom. Now what should I do to get it right???

let me expand this further,

let's say the table is splitted inevitably,  how can I get word to add text AUTOMATICALLY, such as "Continued from Table x"at the top left of the rest of the table in the new page and if when this table is adjusted to display within a page, the auto-text disappear AUTOMATICALLY????

any solution regarding this is hugely appreciated!!

Macros and saving the document

Hello 

There might be a quick answer for this but can't seem to find the answer im looking for on the internet.  

Is there anyway i can save my word document which have macros in it as .docx and still have working macros? Can you somehow embed them into the word document so you can still use them? 

My problem is that i need to compare the document in Workshare and it can't compare .docm files in fast mode when it is a .docm document. 

Hope it makes sense.

Why 'print forms data' print pictures for DOCX files

Posted: 09 May 2014 05:45 AM PDT

Hello all

   I have a DOC file with some picture and text in it, I make some settings in doc file, I tick 'Print only data from a form'  to print only form data, when I take print of Doc file it wont print picture or text (Which is right and expected output)

But if I save same file with DOCX extension and try to print document then it prints pictures (Basically it should show same behavior as DOC file and should not print any thing, just a blank image)

Why this happens for DOCX ? is there any setting for DOCX file ? Please help ?

Thanks in advanced

word 2013 stops when selecting excel for mail merge

Posted: 09 May 2014 02:54 AM PDT

Migrated to Windows 8 and Word/Excel 2013 but this issue also applies to any new word/excel documents created in 2013.

When I perform a mail merge in word and try to use an existing list (excel file) word stops working and aborts.

I have searched many threads and did the suggestion to select in Options/Advanced/General -> "confirm file format coversion on open" and have tried the two formats of excel in the pop-up but it has not worked. I have also tried with the excel sheet open and closed.

Any suggestions anyone please.

When combining two documents, all changes show up as deletions

Posted: 09 May 2014 01:21 AM PDT

I have two documents, the original one and the revised one (mainly with additional text). When I combine the two, the different parts show up as deletions no matter what I do!

AutoComplete for AutoText restored in Word 2013

Posted: 08 May 2014 10:26 PM PDT

I just was delighted to discover that in Word 2013 the tooltips and AutoComplete work with AutoText as they did in Word 2003.

I discovered this when working on an Add-In Supplemental Building Blocks for Headers and Footers . In Word 2013 when I had the template open on the screen and started typing the name of one of the AutoText Entries a tooltip would pop up prompting for Enter. I thought "How cool! That looks familiar!" When I checked, I got the same behavior when the template was loaded as an Add-In rather than the active document. A reason that Word 2013 is an improvement over 2010, even though I hate how it looks.

The Add-In has FileName, FileNamePath, and a number of Page Number field variations as AutoText as well as some supplemental headers and footer building blocks that use these fields.

I expect that this is also true with Word 365 but don't have that version. I will test to see if this is also true of AutoText loaded through the Building Blocks folders.

Problem with automatic numbering

Posted: 08 May 2014 06:02 PM PDT

I was having a problem with automatic numbering in Word 10, so turned it off through file-options-proofing. In hindsight, I think this document was corrupt. I am now working on a new document and despite turning autocorrect back on, it is not working. I have restarted Word, but that hasn't done anything. Specifically the autocorrect on spelling isn't working, but more annoyingly the automatic numbering doesn't work. When I am typing a numbered list and press return, it resorts to the normal format. That is it loses the number, the indentation and even the font. My solution is to use format painter to copy the previous style, but this is time consuming in the document that I am writing which is a contract requiring pages of specific numbering and formatting. Any ideas?

Page numbering is correct when in normal and print preview but prints differently

Posted: 08 May 2014 05:33 PM PDT

Hi,

I have suddenly started finding an issue that when i am working in a document and show the print preview, the page numbers are correct, but when i print the document they print differently. 

For example, i have a 10 page document. This document has a title page, approval page and various sections with page breaks, etc.

When i am working in the document the page numbers show correctly (page 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.) but when i print the document it prints either page 1 of 2, 2 of 2 then 3 of 3, 4 of 4, etc. up to 10 or just page 1 of 1, 2 of 2, etc. right from the beginning.

Any explanation as to why this is happening and how to solve it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

That will show the largest of the large files modified in the last two

Other tricks include just using the "-ls" in find and "sort +6n" to

vsftpd and iptables

This is the SSH thingy mensioned before: sftp != ftps
 

Well you have either AUTH TLS on port 21 after which we're scrambled,
encription of the data-channel clients should negotiate. However some
(older) send AUTH SSL and assume the data should be encripted too, Vsftpd
can cope with this.

The older suggestion was to listen on port 990 for connections with an SSL
header (conventionally active ftp-data connects from one port less then
ftp-control, so that's 989. However with passive-mode data a range is used
whatever port the control channel happens to run on.)

So you basically have two ways... And Vsftpd can be configured to accept
the first itself (with either SSLv2, v3 or TLSv1 supporting a whole list
of cyphers, and pretty much any command a client might send). The 990 port
is deprecated and wasn't used often in the first place, some kind of SSL
proxy in front of any FTP daemon should do, if anyone needs it though.
 

I know:
curl -D - http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext.html | \
grep Menno
 

That works (with the AUTH SSL option and SSLv[23] server support):
http://www.ipswitch.com/Support/WS_FTP/guide/wsftpug80/08sslutil.html
 

HTTPS for download: fine (although rate-limiting is easier with FTPS).
Idunno about the security implications of WebDAV BTW:

lynx -dump http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ | grep -B22 Subversion

Modern FTP(S) servers, especially Vsftpd (i read some of the code) are
rather paranoid in their input validation checking, usage of privs etc.

Sure. Others in this thread have cited Knoppix, but Ubuntu (also the
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu variants) makes available a live-CD disc,
with a number of things meeting your app description, most obviously
Konqueror & Nautilus.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll give Knoppix a try (unfortunately I'm

Duration changes with multiple resources

Doug,
At first I didn't understand what you were asking but then the bulb went
on. I was also confused when you said you were entering values for
tasks/sub-tasks. In the normal definition the actual effort description
is a sub-task under a Summary Line and Summary lines are not tasks, they
are simply a summary of the sub-task information indentured under them.
So in effect, neither Duration nor Work can be "entered" for Summary
Lines, those values are calculated by Project.

Now to answer the question. The Work on a Summary Line is the arithmetic
sum of the Work for each sub-task under the summary. However, the
Duration value shown on a Summary line is the difference in time between
the Start of the earliest task (i.e. sub-task) and the Finish of the
latest task under the Summary Line. Therefore depending on how the
sub-tasks are linked (default is finish-to-start), the Summary Line
Duration value can be less than, equal to, or greater than the Summary
Line Work value.

Hope this helps.
John

Duration and Resources

Posted: 01 Jun 2005 05:14 AM PDT

Actually, I think I have sussed it by entering the duration, then fixed units
and setting the percentages for each resource.

Thanks for your inspiration, Gerard!

print entire project on one page pdf format custom size

Posted: 31 May 2005 03:55 PM PDT

No one has answered the question yet. I've ran my own tests like printing a
page through an actual printer and then using adobe. The preview of the print
is truelly what you get. So if preview shows missing info, then don't bother
creating the pdf. Also, I've tried to utilize forums at adobe's website, but
in plain terms: their forums suck! Microsoft forums are the best in terms of
responsiveness and usefulness. So, it's just a matter of time before we'll
see a response to this post.

how do i compare more than 3 baselines in project?

We have a large staff that do work on multiple projects under one company.
We are tracking the estimated loan funding time (original baseline) as
compared to the actuall funding times (baselines 1-10). I need to see how
accuarate we are in the big picture.

Adding task witout adding any times!

Posted: 31 May 2005 08:35 AM PDT

Your question shows you need to rethink how you're using Project as you are
violating one of the most fundamental principals behind any scheduling
software application. You should NOT ever be telling Project the dates the
you're planning ANY of your tasks for - it's basic reason for living is to
tell YOU the dates when you CAN schedule the tasks. You input the date you
can start the first task, the estimated length of time you think it will
take to do each one, the relationships between the tasks that are dictated
by the process logic (ie, you can't put up the roof until you've built the
walls to hold it), and when the required resources needed to do the tasks
are available to work and and in exchange Project calculates the optimum
schedule and outputs it for you. Yes, you can enter dates in the start and
finish columns but that ability is there to allow you to handle the special
circumstances where tasks need to have constraints applied and you should
not be routinely supplying that information for any except the few
circumstances where a constraint is required. And that is why you can't
have a task shown as "TBA." You input the new task and Project figures out
where it should be placed given the information it has about it so far and
it is telling you when you should tentatively be planning to do it. As you
supply more information, it refines that estimate until at last you have a
workable schedule to communicate to the people who will do the work. In a
nutshell, YOU don't plan the tasks - Project plans them for you! That's
what you (or your employer) paid all that good money it costs to buy it to
have it do for you. Let it do its job.

Creating a CUserAuth

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 01:35 PM PST

You can override the credentials used when you authenticate with the following
code:

BizUser oBizUser = new BizUser ();
oBizUser.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userid, pssword, domain);

The key is to also use this same approach with all the objects, not just
Security.

then I could pass that to my SDK calls. However in doing this I get the

"Invalid user auth. The user ID does not match the thread token."

Am I correct? Did I miss a step?

Workflow Rule generated E-Mails

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 11:35 AM PST

Well, the field names can be found in the SQL views that are created for each
object. For table accountbase, there is a view called account. The fields in
this view are what are returned. Each object has a similarly named view. The
views pull in the common joined table (like in the Contact view, the Account
name is pulled in from the associated Account).

The same "objects" should be available with this method as are available in the
email template editor, just a differnt syntax.

I entered "&account.name;" does display the account name, but I am having

How to delete a business unit

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 05:15 AM PST

Can you? Yes.

Should you? probably not.

You will find the BU in both the DB & AD. However, there are a lot of other
objects in the system that are associated with the BU in the database. Trying
to manaully remove these could prove a challenge. That's not to say it can't be
done, but it won't be as simple as deleting 1 record from 1 table.

If you decide to try this, make sure you have a good DB backup and that nothing
else is being done on the server. Cause if you need to restore, you will loose
any other changes made since the backup. I also would not touch the AD entry
for the BU until you are satisifed that the DB changes are done. The DB is much
easier to restore than AD is and if you remove the OU from AD, it can be tough
to recover from that.

There is a way to do it. First off, make sure you've put in the Sales for
Outlook "enhancement" from the feature pack (and is freely downloadable) for
both the client and the server.

In the synchronization window, you have an option to check off "Only
synchronize data from my business unit". Make sure that is checked. In
theory, that should limit your information pull to whatever is appropriate
for the BU in question.

Quite candidly, my company only has one "big ole" BU so this didn't help
with my sync issues. <big grin>

Quote Bug or property?

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 03:09 AM PST

Kinda. The quote is basically read-only once it's closed, so that's why you
can't delete it. That part makes sense, but it would sitll be nice to be able
to delete them with some sort of security or purge process.

Adding activities and notes (to me at least) is a little different, as that
isn't really "changing" the associated object. But, just because the quote is
closed, doesn't mean you won't still have new activities tied to it or want to
record new notes. I mean, you can still have a phone call with a customer about
a closed quote and send email regarding it.
