When I copy a grouped collection of objects to paste special as a picture (enhanced metafile), the resulting picture is cropped from one side

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 02:06 PM PDT

I have drawn a figure in Word 2007 combining various objects and grouped them together. Now, in order to have the grouped figure rotated, I copied it and pasted special as a picture (enhanced metafile). But, the resulting figure is cropped from the right side. What is the solution?

Clicking between Word windows shifts the page

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 11:54 AM PDT

I use two screens and often am working between Word documents opened in separate windows. When I click between the windows the page either shifts down or up. I end up losing my place and either have to scroll up or down to get back to where I left off. I swear Word didn't use to do this. This is making me crazy!! I am using Windows 7 with Word 2007. Thanks for the help!

hw do I put a form on word and get a fill in request. This is a three part form, some information goes to all three parts, some goes to two parts.  Also I will be using preprinted forms and only want to print the fill in Information.

Outer most table boarder in the footer does not display and align with the upper body boarder.

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 10:44 AM PDT

I have a A4 Word 2013 Sheet with a header, body and footer. I have a table in the header and footer. The page boarder goes from the Top header down to the beginning of the footer. Activating the footer and bringing the table boarder up to the height of the body boarder hides the table boarder in the footer. If I print the page the table boarder in the footer is missing (compare attached picture, lower right corner)?

After trying all kind of settings I could not get to show the outer most table boarder to display aligned with the upper body boarder. This looks very much like an error within word 2013. How can I make sure that the outer most table boarder is aligned with the upper boarder and make sure that it is actually displayed?

Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you.

word 2007 gone mad

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hi all, i hope someone can help because i have exhausted my limited knowledge and am about to through the pc through the window.I installed the Windows 7 upgrade and purchased the MS Office home and student 2007 (upgrade from the Vista 32 bit system, on a Dell HP2159v) back in 2009 and have had no problems until last week.

Whilst trying to design my parents 60th anniversary invitations, i experimented with a few designs and saved them to the desktop as a word 93 - 2007 document - pretty standard procedure.

When i went back to print them off for comparison the next day i was stunned to find i could not open the documents from the desktop file. The Pc honked at me and gave me an error message saying there was a problem sending the command to the program. A blank word page came up (no paper).

I could open the document if i went into the folder icon on the blank page. Only 2 out of 4 documents had saved as they had been written.

The other 2 had completely diffferent formatting and had saved in wps.

I have tried researching how to get the program back to how it was. I have run office diagnostics which does not show up a fault. Tried MS fixit tool. Re loaded the home student disc and ran a repair on word 2007

Downloaded the Dell pc support tool which does not complete its diagnostics or present the report. It does show the SMART short self test failed, whatever that is.

I have checked in the devices and printer and checked the right printer is being used. Searched online for fixes to no avail.

All of the usual fixes have had no effect and i have finally run out of ideas and patience.

If anyone out there can help i would appreciate it immensely.

I managed a work around to get at the invitations and print them off, but it is time consumming and stressful.

thanks for any help offered.

 

Can not open word document

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 08:15 AM PDT

There is insufficient memory disk space. Word cannot displayhe requested font

Print does not correspond to print preview with complex script

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:44 AM PDT

I have a Word document in Syriac which looks just as I want it on the Print Preview screen; but when I print it, either to my printer or to pdf, strange things happen. In particular, some whole lines become white space. Some other lines have words omitted.  Here is one page, first the Print Preview (a screen shot):

And here is the pdf (also a screen shot):

You can see that the first line is partly erased, and the second line completely erased, and the same for a line 6 lines up from the bottom. I am mystified by this and would welcome help. There are other discrepancies between preview and print too, but if I knew what was going on here, it would perhaps resolve them all.

Headings not showing in TOC if in a table

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:35 AM PDT

I am creating a document that is largely built of content displayed in tables (to keep spacing, etc consistent).  When I change the font to Heading 1, Heading 2, etc it changes the format of the font but does not pick up that text for the table of contents.

If I split the table and format to a Heading all is well, but it seems like an unneeded step.  Is there a way to have Word 2013 pick up Headings within a table?

Image content control & restrict editing -> conflict

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:31 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set an Image content control on a word document with editing restriction. The image content control itself is in a TextBox.

The content control works fine, but when I try to use the restriction I've got a problem. In the restrictions tab, I choose no modification and I add an exception for my image content control for all users. As soon as I check this, the picture disappears. It wont display even when I enable the protection. The picture is still there, it's just not displayed. If I resize the picture I can see it, but when I drop the cursor it disappears again.

I really need my users to be able to see the pictures, I've searched on the Web and tried many things but I was not able to find a workaround.

I would be really pleased if someone knows a way to make it work. Thanks in advance.

Split screen bug in Word 2013?

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 04:33 AM PDT

I routinely split the screen vertically so I can see part of a document in a top pane and another part of the same document in the bottom pane.  I do this using the Alt+Ctrl+S command.  In previous versions of Word, when I did this, it would just split the document as it was shown on the screen (e.g., if page 3 is being displayed, both the top and bottom portions of the screen would still be page 3 after the split).  

Now, in Word 2013, when I split the screen, the bottom pane always returns to the very top of the document.  This is incredibly frustrating as I now how to find where I was in the bottom pane.  Is this a bug, or is it a configurable setting? 

My Microsoft Spell Checker is not working right. Not highlighting correct spellings

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 01:34 AM PDT

Hi. Whilst I love the spell check function on MS Word. I spell a word wrong, it 'underlines' it in red, I see it, go back and correct it. However, their seems to be a problem. Whilst it highlights/underlines the words I have typed wrong in red, it is only highlighting/underlining just a small fraction of the correct words (in green). Ive made sure the settings are correct (English US) but I dont no what the issue is. 

 I cant see a pattern too it. The green underlining only appears on a few words. So I get a few words in each sentence that are wrong (underlined in red) and that I need to correct, a few underlined in green which are correct and then the rest are not underlined. This is crazy. How come MS Word cant seeall the correct words but can see all the incorrect ones? Dont no how too fix this in the settings, I'm sure its simple but please help.

Cannot see font color in Word 2013

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 12:35 AM PDT

I just installed Office 365 for students, which is supposed to have Word 2013. In the previous version (Word 2007) I put a lot of font color in the document but now in Word 2013 I see none of this color. All fonts are put in the default color. How can I get my color back? 

Thanks.

Text to Speech not working in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:38 PM PDT

TTS has stopped working in my copy of 2010 Word (where I use it as a proofing tool for my books). My OS is Windows 8.1 and my computer is a Dell Inspiron 660. I've tried many of the remedies suggested via Microsoft forums, etc. including running sfc (no errors found), opening the tts "Speech Properties" control (got the "This voice cannot be played." error message), and uninstalling and reinstalling my copy of Office Home and Student 2010. Unfortunately, nothing I tried worked. I also contacted MS support and was informed by the otherwise nice tech that the problem could easily be fixed by paying a fee ($99-$149). Can't afford that right now so I said thanks but no.  Is there any method of downloading and restoring the TTS engine, specifically? I have a hunch this database has been corrupted or some such. Thanks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the "Speak" button in the Quick Action Toolbar stays "on" when I press it and won't turn off until I press it again. Normally, I'll select the text and press Speak. The text will be read aloud and then the button will reset itself. I have no idea if that means anything or not.

Footnotes form single character column at right of page

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:03 PM PDT

I'm creating a document with footnotes at the bottom of pages. Suddenly in the middle of the document the footnotes go from being normal to being a single column of characters down the right hand side of the page. I.e. they are written vertically with each character in the foot note taking up a line. Here is a screen shot of the first instance:

Can anyone give an explanation for this and an idea of how to fix it?

Thanks,

Ted

Can't open Microsoft Word

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:03 PM PDT

When I try to open Word, or a Word document, I get a window saying that Microsoft Word has encountered an error and has to close, with an option to "Repair Now'.  When I click on 'Repair now' nothing happens. When I close Word and re-open it I get the same window; the same when I re-boot my PC.  What is happening?  How can I get Word to open?  Thank you. Kevin

Tracking changes in windows 2013 from a document that was converted form word 2007

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 06:53 PM PDT

Hi everyone:

I have a paper that was originally written on 2007 word and was converted to word 2013 once I purchased my new computer.  I have made myself the author under options - general settings and unchecked the box that said "always use these values regardless of sign in"

I signed out of word with my Microsoft id, placed my user name as "Author", and updated my initials. When I ask to "track changes", nothing is happening.

Can someone please help?

Word 2013 is pure garbage which will want to make you throw your keyboard out of the window

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 05:02 PM PDT

Back in my college days, I loved Microsoft Word. 

I used it for virtually everything I needed reduced to type.  Letters, term papers, essays and even articles for the school newspaper were a dream to type on Word.  Recently I allowed my office to switch over from Wordperfect to Word 2013, because my new office management software would not integrate with Wordperfect.

How bad could it be, I thought.

What a complete disaster.  It's not bad enough that I have to hear my employees complain daily about how bad this program is. I have to deal with it myself.

What a piece of sh-t.  The autoformating garbage will make you want to scream the very first day you use it.  Then as you learn to deal with it, you find that the program is defective, in that it will not let you change the settings it purports to enable you to change.

For example, on Friday my office manager came in to my office, frustrated that she tried to change the layout of a document from portrait to landscape.  She went to the settings and changed "portrait" to "landscape," but word simply kept printing it out the same way, ignoring the change.

Today, I tried to revise a document, including removing the page numbers at the bottom.  I went to the settings and checked-off remove page numbers.  Word ignored it, and will not permit me to remove the page numbers.  I can't believe that I just paid for word processing software for multiple computers in my office, and it will not let us choose whether or not to have page numbers in our documents.  They must be kidding with this sh-t.

I can't believe how they have turned what used to be a great program into a complete piece of garbage.

It is so bad, that I am actually considering finding NEW office management software, just so I can get rid of Word.

If anyone is considering changing over from Wordperfect to Word, DON'T.  You will regret it!

Oh, yeah, and don't even get me started on Window's 8 a/k/a the dumbest OS ever shoved down the throats of computer users.  I'm glad I bought a single laptop computer with Windows 8 to try it out before making a decision of whether or not to load it onto all of my office computers.  Thank god.  Returned the laptop because of that piece of cr-p windows 8.    The only thing I can conclude is that whoever is now running things at Microsoft must be perpetually high on crack, or is taking bribes from Apple to cause Microsoft to pump out software that is so bad that people will switch over to Macs out of sheer frustration.
