| Posted: 14 May 2014 03:40 PM PDT In creating an Index of Defined Terms for large leases in my law firm's real estate department, I need the location of the defined term to be identified with the Section or paragraph number (i.e., Section 4.01) rather than the page number. I have been highlighting the defined term, selecting "Insert Index/Mark" and then selecting the cross-reference button in the secondary window, and typing in the Section or paragraph number. While this will generate an index giving the Section number location as opposed to the page number, it also results in a hidden field code in which the Section number doesn't update because it is typed in and not entered as a field. To overcome this limitation, one must then replace the typed Section number within the hidden filed by inserting a cross reference field code in place of the hard typed number. This is unbelievably time consuming and cumbersome. Does anyone have a magic bullet to accomplish this more efficiently? I would very much appreciate any help. Thanks. |
| Word 2003 doesn't remember printing shortcut Posted: 14 May 2014 03:10 PM PDT I'm still using Word 2003 at work (I know, I KNOW!) and I print a specific type of document that I want printed on both side of the paper. I've saved these settings as a printing shortcut and for awhile it works. Now my shortcut isn't listed in the box of shortcuts but when I remake it and try to save it, it says I already have that shortcut; do I want to overwrite it. If I already have the shortcut, why can't I see it listed so I can use it? |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 02:01 PM PDT Starting from Sunday I can't start my MS Word, as I used to. If I try to open a new MS Word document by clicking on the 'New Office Document' link in the Start menu, then a file with Templates pops up. One of its Templates is 'Blank Document'. If I click on it, then instead of a complete new Microsoft Word document, only toolbars with gray background without cursor are displayed, which makes any typing impossible. What should I do to solve this issue? |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 12:30 PM PDT I'm using Office/Word 2013 on a PC. When I insert a row, the row is already shaded. Commands to shade any other color do not work, nor does clearing the shading. I tried it with another table, in a different document - new rows inserted in that table begin as clear/no shading, and shading commands work fine. Obviously I'm missing something, but what? |
| Multiple steps required to change a document's theme (apply a new theme) Posted: 14 May 2014 11:58 AM PDT These are the steps I have to follow to apply a theme and get it working on an existing (old) document.
1) Go to the Design tab on the ribbon bar and select the theme. In this case a custom theme. 2) You will notice that the heading did not pick up the new theme, but that the following several lines did - although not the whole document. Notice when the italicised Calibri font shows in the paragraph following the Chapter 1 text  3) On return to the Home tab, notice that the document's existing style theme remains. (This step is only taken to illustrate the theme has not 'taken'. 4) On the design tab, select the document title and then select the Heading 1 style. 5) On the Home tab, notice that the document title still does not show the new theme style 6) This time, when Heading 1 is selected, the new theme is applied to the selected heading. 7) Note in the screenshot above (6), that the text following Chapter 1, still displays the old Body style which is Calibri (and because Calibri font was not actually installed with Office 2013, the font shows in italics). Selecting the text following Chapter 1 to the end of the document, and then selecting the Normal or Body font, does not always work. Then I have to try a few times before it works, or change the text to the new style in smaller chunks. Note that if I select text from anywhere after the first heading (the title) and Chapter 1, from that point to the end of the document (or even just a few paragraphs down, the new theme style (Normal/Body) is never successfully applied. ------------------------------------------------- I'm really hoping that there is a simple solution to this... |

| SpellCheck Change All often doesn't Posted: 14 May 2014 11:23 AM PDT It is inconsistent, but I have noticed that SellCheck often does not remember that Change All was selected and just changes once. In this example, I noticed the word artifact was one I had selected to change more than once, from artifact to artefact. Because I am aware how easy it is to get confused when lots of changes are going on, I only reported this because I am certain. In fact, because I had become aware of the problem, I was specifically looking out for a few words where I had corrected the spelling more than once already - in the same document. and without SpellCheck coming up with the message that it had finished checking the selection, and did I want to continue checking the rest of the document. This is, as I mentioned at the top, inconsistent in that sometimes it will change more than once, but other times it will only change once, or change two or three times, and not on the fourth occasion. |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 11:22 AM PDT My office has several people who are using Office 2013. All of them have found that while scrolling through their document (using mouse roller button or scroll bar), Word sometimes freezes. This has happened in Excel also. When the "recovered" document is opened, it's not the time saved version but the version that was last manually saved. How can we prevent Word and Excel from freezing while scrolling? |
| Microsoft Word tile on Start Screen missing icon image. Posted: 14 May 2014 09:52 AM PDT I'm running WIndows 8.1 and I notice that when I pin Microsoft Word 2013 to the Start Screen, it is simply a solid blue tile. It does not have the Word icon. The shortcut works fine, but just doesn't have an image to associate to the tile. What would cause this? I have already tried removing the shortcut from the Start Screen and readding it. |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 09:18 AM PDT MS Word Table of Contents includes E-mail headers from the Document - How To Stop This? - E-mail Header Style is Normal, so should not be included as TOC1 Style I've been frustrated by this for years, but only just now reaching out to this community, as I haven't been able to figure this out on my own or by asking others I know. This issue is that I have multiple documents with e-mails copied into them. This is an example of what was copied into the document, followed by the e-mail text. From: Brandt, Bryon E [mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***] Cc: Mahesh; Kevin; When copying the e-mail, each line of the e-mail header has a soft return at the end, not a paragraph mark. The header paragraph has a Normal style assigned to it, so should not appear in the Table of Contents, but the entire header shows as a Table of Contents entry, as one line, with TOC1 style used. How to stop the e-mail headers from appearing in the Table of Contents? Thank You! Bryon |
| continue text to top of next column after a continuous section break Posted: 14 May 2014 08:59 AM PDT I'm so baffled with columns and continuous section breaks - and I can't find previous discussions about it. I'm probably not wording the search question correctly, and now I'm starting to lose it! - I have many pages of text in 2 columns. - The pages need different headers for different sections. - Despite section breaks (for headers), text needs to continue flowing down one column to the next without leaving white space. So there can't be part of the page left blank to continue the next section on the next page. - Inserting a continuous section break, splits the page into 2 parts. this gives me 2 columns from one section at the top part of the page, and 2 columns from the next section at the lower half of the page. This seems like it would be very confusing to the reader who is reading straight down the column. - If for example I need a continuous section break in the middle of the first column, is there a way to continue the text down the rest of the first column, then to the top of the second column, and onward? I tried to use: "Don't balance columns at the start of continuous sections" but that still breaks the page up into 2 horizontal parts. Is it a matter of just putting the section break in a different location where it won't disturb the columns?? Thank you for any help with figuring this out! |

I consider myself to reasonably competent in the Office suite, but his is driving me nuts and I've spent way too long trying to self-diagnose and fix the issue. Throwing this out to the community and would appreciate any support in return. Thanks. |

| Why do Word track changes from multiple reviewers sometimes get combined when I save? Posted: 14 May 2014 07:48 AM PDT I'm noticing a glitch with Track Changes lately (doesn't seem to make a difference if there are edits from only one other reviewer or multiple), and I've confirmed that I'm not the only one experiencing it. This has become a huge headache -- any help would be be GREATLY appreciated! On Word 2010, I'm editing a document that was sent to me (sometimes from someone in my department, sometimes from someone in another department in my company, and sometimes from someone outside the company) with some redlines already in the document. The previous reviewer's changes are in red, his name shows up in the Reviewers list in the "Show Markup" sub-menu, and when I hovor my mouse pointer over his changes, it gives me his name and the date/time of his edits. When I make my edits, they initially show up as blue. and if I go into the "Review" tab and select "Show Markup" and see the list of Reviewers, the previous editor(s) and I show up in different colors as separate reviewers. However, sometimes (and I don't see any rhyme or reason to when it happens or doesn't) when I save (quick save or Save As, doesn't matter) the document, my edits change from blue to red. Now, in the Show Markup" Reviewers list, the only reviewer is "author," and if I hover my pointer over my changes, or the previous editor's changes, both show "author" and all show the latest save time/date. This never happened until recently, and it's extremely problematic when I am trying to incorporate changes from multiple reviewers (some of whose edits "trump" the others' edits), or when I'm adding my changes to a multi-party document. It doesn't matter if I'm saving to my desktop or to Sharepoint -- sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but if it happens once in a particular document, it will always happen in that document. Please help! |
| Unable to open Word 2003 with its own office program when opening it from 64 bit Internet Explorer 8 Posted: 14 May 2014 07:21 AM PDT I am using 64 bit Windows 7 machine, Internet Explorer 8 and Office 2003. When I am trying to open a Word document from 64 bit IE, it is always opening in the browser windows instead of opening in its own office program. But when using 32 bit version of IE, it is opening correctly with office program. The same problem happened for Office 2007 and upon modifying the Registry value this problem is resolved. But changing the Registry entry for Office 2003 is of no use. Any help is appreciated. |

| Embedded word document on Word for Ipad Posted: 14 May 2014 05:48 AM PDT My company is moving to using Ipads for documents at meetings. Their preferred way to operate is to create an agenda in a word document and then embed all of the relevant supporting papers (i.e. more word documents) within that agenda next to the relevant item. So on a laptop they would see the agenda itemw with a word document icon beside it. When attempting to view on an ipad the icon is not visible and additional documents can't be opened. i know that there are other solutions but wanted to confirm that their preferred method won't work before exploring the alternatives. |
| Stop Table of Contents Auto Update Posted: 14 May 2014 02:42 AM PDT I have a table of contents, table of figures and a list of tables. I have deleted specific entries from these. I need to be able to save my document to OneDrive and export it as a pdf, but whenever I do all these tables update themselves and insert back in the deleted parts. How do I stop the table of contents from updating unless I expressly tell it to? Please help, answer required urgently. |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 01:25 AM PDT I am looking to use mail merge to print labels and have been able to get to the end of the process. But I would like to have one record fill up the first column of labels (7 labels in total for Avery 21 label sheet), then for the next column to be the next record. The mail merge process only allows next records to be the next cell filling up row by row. So is there any way to change this direction i.e instead of labels being filled row by row they are filled in columns? Am really stuck and really need to be able to have them in columns as the labels will be used in a particular order. i.e I would them merged as follows: Box 1 Box4 Box7 Box 2 Box5 Box8 Box 3 Box6 Box9 and not as Box1 Box2 Box3 Box4 Box5 Box6 Box7 Box8 Box9 which is the current default setting. Many Thanks, |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 01:16 AM PDT The TAB INDICATOR now shows only as a blank icon and no tabs show on the ruler. My tab indicator and tabs were fine until recently. Running Word 2013 on Win 8. How can I fix this, please? |
| How to count Yes/No answers and calculate points of Yes/No drop-down lists in Word 2013? Posted: 14 May 2014 12:47 AM PDT Hi, I am designing a simple Yes/No questionnaire in Microsoft Word 2013 and would like to know how to count all the Yes and No answers in order to calculate a score based on the answers. Basically I have inserted a table in word with a column for the questions and a column for the drop-down list controls, each yes or no answer may be equal to more than one point in the scoring system. I want to calculate the points of the yes and no answers separately and subtract the one from the other to get the score. I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance. Kind regards, Arthur Durand |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 12:22 AM PDT Could anyone point me in the right direction for the below. Automatically format any words within ( ) to a different color ie red. Automatically make certain words be caps, bold and underline. Automatically put in numbering to normal text only, ie not text under say header. Automatically change all text to a certain font and size. Many Thanks Matt |
| Word 2013 crashes whenever saving to OneDrive Posted: 13 May 2014 08:45 PM PDT I have Office 2013 installed on my PC. Whenever I save a word document to OneDrive, it saves, and then Word crashes, restarts, and recovers the documents that were previously opened. This does not happen when I save an Excel spreadsheet to OneDrive. I've tried restarting Word completely, restarting my computer, updating Office, and going through the Microsoft "Fix it" troubleshooter. This happens for both "Save" and "Save as," but only when saving to OneDrive (saving to my desktop creates no problems whatsoever). |
| Linking chapters in Word to multiple Word docs Posted: 13 May 2014 08:16 PM PDT Hi, I have 6 MW files with approx 10 chapters in each file. However, 6 of the 10 chapters in each file are exactly the same. What I would like to know is, is it possible to link a chapter from one MW file to the other 5 MW files and when updated in one file, the link between the other 5 is live and will update the other 5 MW files automatically keeping the 6 identical chapters the same. Hope this makes sense. Thanks Craig |
| Change Word Outline Numbering via VBA (Word 2010) Posted: 13 May 2014 06:10 PM PDT I autoformat tables based on options that the user selects in a UserForm that pops up when the user runs the macro. Some rows in the table are are just text, and some rows are outline numbered headings. Sometimes the headings have manual numbering, and sometimes they don't. One of the options I would like to provide to the users is to turn on or off the outline autonumbering in the Word document if the heading rows have manual numbering. It used to be easy to do before Word 2010 - I could turn Outline Numbering on or off for all the heading styles just by changing Heading 1 because all my other heading styles are based on Heading 1. But with Word 2010, which has the new List Style Gallery for Outline Numbering, I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to apply (or remove) outline numbering from all 9 heading styles using VBA, and there doesn't seem to be much discussion about how to do this anywhere. I have a named multilevel numbered list style in the gallery called "Headings" (as suggested by Shauna Kelly in her very informative tutorial about setting up list styles), but as far as I can figure out there isn't a way to apply a named list style to the selection using VBA. Even if I could, I don't think the change would propagate to the remaining heading styles so that all the headings in the document inherit the numbering scheme. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks Susan |
| Posted: 13 May 2014 02:40 PM PDT Microsoft word 2010 problem with slow opening and slow closing (saving) .DOC . On the network takes 20-30 seconds across network to sever. NOTE: Word works fine if saving to local drive as a .doc . Works fine if you open or close as a .docx across the local network or if you change the .doc to .docx. If i open a or close in work pad no problem. If I open or close a .rtf in Microsoft Word 2010 no problem. NOTE:The problem is from 2 of the work stations. The 3rd workstation has no problem with this at all. I believe this means there is no problem with the network. Also pinged the server no lag time at all on all work station. Running MS windows server 2012 on server 64 bit server. Workstations all 32 bit. Thank you for your help. [Moved to Windows forum by moderator] |
