| How to reset Column Defaults in Word 2010? Posted: 24 May 2014 10:21 AM PDT Very often, I use Word 2010's columns feature to reformat text into two columns, usually because I find it easier to read large quantities of text in columns. Each time I do this, I use Page Layout|Columns|More Columns to reset how the columns appear in two particulars: First, I reset the space between columns from 0.5" to 0.2" and then I select "Line between." For me, this is the optimal 2 column layout. However, I cannot find an option of that screen to make these the default settings for "Two Columns" (the easy choice on the dropdown list from Page Layout|Columns). Because I do this essentially every time I use columns, it seems to me there should be a way I can have Word 2010 simply apply these as the defaults when "Two Columns" is selected under "Page Layout|Columns." But I cannot figure out how to do that. On the screen presented under Page Layout|Columns|More (where I make these changes), I find no option for making these the default formatting choices for 2 columns. I also tried looking under File|Options|Display and File|Options|Advanced, but didn't find a place to make these default changes. Is there a way I can set my Word 2010 so that, when I select "Page Layout|Columns|Two Columns" the two columns will be set with 0,2" spacing and a line between them? Thanks, Paul |
| Word freezes when using Find/Replace while connected via WiFi but NOT when connected by network cable. Similar problem with Outlook. Posted: 24 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT This is just so bizarre. I have a Lenovo laptop. Just 2 years old and pretty powerful. I do high-end CAD work so it's a powerful laptop. 32G RAM, etc. Using Office 2013 on Windows 7. When I am plugged in via an Ethernet cable to the Internet, Word and all of office works beautifully. As soon as I am either offline or using a WiFi connection, Word freezes up when using the Find/Replace command. This doesn't seem to happen with any other dialog box. I have tried with an existing file and with a new document. I have tried with the laptop on a power source and off. Similarly, I find that when I try to open Outlook when on WiFi, it also freezes. In both cases if I run Word or Outlook in safe mode, they work just fine. I can find and replace. This seems to have started when I created a new family mail account at outlook.com so I could have a family calendar. I have had a personal live.com account for a long time and never saw a problem there. Can there be an issue with Exchange ActiveSync? Does Word continually try to connect to my account? While safe mode is work around, it isn't great if I want to be productive. I work from home so I can plug in in my studio. But if I want to work outside on a nice sunny day, everything becomes problematic. Is this because my Ethernet connection is super fast but my WiFi is not (like when I am out of town and using a Verizon Jetpack for a connection)? My wireless adapter's driver is up-to-date. Anyone have a clue? Chris |

| aligning radio buttons Posted: 24 May 2014 08:55 AM PDT My inserted radio button has its bottom aligned with the line it is in, instead of center aligned. When having inserted a radio button, in design mode, right-clicking the radio button, choosing OptionButton Object > Edit, I get an crosshair which I thought, indicated the ability to move the object around freely, but when I try to do so, the moved object jumps back to its original position after some seconds. Another problem is the alignment of the radio button itself and its text. Any ideas? |
| Customizations lost Posted: 24 May 2014 08:25 AM PDT Just recently, I have realized that Word no longer opens up the way I have set up (Body Text, 12 pt font, web view display), but the default way. Also, my tweaks of Headings (1, 2, & 3) are gone—back to default. The first thing I noticed was that a macro to print just one copy of the current document, on my QAT, is no longer working. I get an error message that it cannot be found. OK what do I do now? Is it possible that my template has been deleted or corrupted? Or what????? |

| ***How to create a FORMATTING template for Microsoft Word 2013?*** Posted: 24 May 2014 07:09 AM PDT Hello there, I am formatting a bunch of large Word documents, and am at the last stage - changing the format, i.e. font, indents, bold/italics, etc... I have to do this for all 9 HUGE files. ==> Is there a way for me to edit one piece of my work and then use that format template for the rest of the documents? That will save me DAYS of work. So for example can I edit one half of my document with the exact indents, boldness, font size, etc, manually, and apply that to the other documents so I can just copy/paste for example into that format? Thank you, |

| How do we give SpellCheck corrections or additions? Posted: 24 May 2014 04:59 AM PDT I love Microsoft Answers, and appreciate ho ready so many people are to help when people get stuck or have questions. Sometimes, however, you (I) want to give feedback that doesn't need a whole discussion,as it is something that has been missed by the programmers and just needs adding in - after evaluation of course. For example (this is just one of many I could submit): the word "undwear" is incorrect, but SpellCheck seems unaware of the correction which is "underwear". I don't believe this is a case where use of the custom dictionary is appropriate, and would rather let the SpellCheck team know about this so they can take appropriate action. The 2013 version of SpellCheck is significantly better than previous versions in the detection of errors, even if I don't always agree with some of the suggested corrections (95% of which are spot on). I do quite a bit of CopyEditing and this latest version is a pleasure to use, apart from some really irritating technical glitches. I would love to be able to contribute to SpellCheck becoming even better. Any thoughts? |

| dwm memory leak with Office 2013 on a dual monitor system Posted: 24 May 2014 01:06 AM PDT When I have a window from the office 2013 suite active on my secondary monitor, it causes dwm.exe to use far more memory than it should, and when working with large files (eg, a 60-page report or a 60-slide presentation), this often leads to windows detecting low memory and then automatically disabling aero. I notice that this issue only occurs while the document is stationary - if I move it around on the screen or scroll up/down within a document/slide show, the memory usage will drop considerably (to close to the base usage, around 50MB) before rising again. Is there a known fix for this issue (apart from just not using office on my secondary monitor - I often have two office windows open at once etc.)? I have 8gb RAM installed on a system with Windows 7 64x, and aero is disabled when dwm.exe reaches about 1.5GB ram usage. |

| Changing system table formats Posted: 23 May 2014 07:56 PM PDT I want to link data from Access to a Word document with a certain table format. The problem is that I can only get system-defined table formats for my table. None of these work for my situation. And, every time I update the link, the table reverts to the system defined table format even if I change the format manually. I tried defining my own table format (but it won't save as a system format and hence I cannot use it in the "Insert Database/Table AutoFormat" window). I tried redefining a system-defined table format (but it does not seem to save those changes). Is there a way around this problem? Thanks |
| Using bookmarks in word 2010 email mailmerge Posted: 23 May 2014 06:48 PM PDT I have looked extensively on the internert for instructions for using bookmarks in a word 2010 email mailmerge without success.

| Footer "blue dotted line" won't move down in Word document Posted: 23 May 2014 05:04 PM PDT I have a pleading (ruled and numbered paper) and I cannot get it to type to a certain point at the foot (line 28). No matter what I change (using the ruler or the margins or page layout alignment (top) or "footer from bottom" measurements), nothing will get that blue dotted "footer" line to move down. The footer itself will move down, but that does not help me type past the point I need. Somebody did set up the caption of the pleading with columns and section break. I usually just use a table. I am wondering if this is the problem but it would be a huge deal to change it from columns to a table as everything in the documents starts to go wonky when I do that. Does anyone know how to get that darn blue dotted line to move down with the footer text like it normally does? Thanks. |
| Any smart way to chang text after : (colon) from italic to normal ? Posted: 23 May 2014 03:56 PM PDT Hi, Considering the following example: SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010). Is there any way to change "An Alienated Life" from italic to normal using any smart way? At the end, just Institutional World: should be italic. Example: SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010). The issue is that I have 20 pages which sums around 300 references like that and I would like to select the pages and run some command, a macro, a smart find/replace that somehow could identify=> 1- if there is text in italic 2- if this text has a colon : in between the words in italic 3- then change what is in italic and after the colon : to normal text Such kind of magic would change my life :) Many thanks!

| MS Word VBA to insert copied portion of a document below the current page Posted: 23 May 2014 03:53 PM PDT Hello, I have a macro that copies a body of text and places it into a new section at the "bottom" of the current document. (See SAMPLE CODE below.) The macro is connected to a Macro Button that is part of a locked MS Word 2010 macro enabled template. I am attempting to create a similar macro that will copy a body of text and place into a new section "directly below" the section that contains the macro button. Can I modify the existing macro to do that? I assume I need a way to have the macro set the insertion point below the macro button so that the page will paste in the proper location. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks ------------------------ SAMPLE CODE Sub CreateNewProgressNotePage() 'Code below unlocks the original document
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
End If
'Code below selects the text between two Bookmarks in the document
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
oRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("P_Start").Range.End
oRng.End = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("P_End").Range.Start
oRng.Select
' Code below will Unhide the selection
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = False
End With
' Code below copys the selected text
Selection.Copy
' Code below will Hide the selection again
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = True
End With ' Code below navigates to the end of the document and creates a section break
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
