Word 2007 is suddenly taking a long time to load and close

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 11:27 AM PDT

Hi,

Windows 7, Office 2007

At some point in the past year, Word 2007 started taking a long time to load.  I wasn't able to deal with it at the time, so trying to pick a restore point won't work.  I also tried to do a repair in Control Panel > Programs and Features, but that didn't help.  I wondered if someone knows some common problems that causes long loads for Word.

Obviously load speed is all relative.  The point is that it used to load in a particular amount of time, now it takes about 4 times longer, as if it is searching or checking for something and having to make other decisions during the load.  It takes a long time to save and close as well.

I wondered if the template setup could be a factor.  I had created a different template some time ago, but the slow down didn't seem to occur at that point.  I do notice, however, that in the My Templates view none of my templates have a preview available.  Could that be an indicator of a wrong setup somewhere?  That wouldn't seem to be the issue, though, because it's slow on close as well.

I guess finally, are there system issues that affect Word differently than Excel or PowerPoint which load very quickly on my system.  Are there caching settings or swap file settings that might have an impact because some other programs are taking up too much space in memory.  What's the quickest way to find out if Word doesn't have the same amount of memory it used to have, or more specifically, how much memory does it normally need?  Would I need to restrict system tray or other startup programs to help the problem?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Best Regards,

Alan

Protected document - selecting exceptions

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 11:02 AM PDT

Hello, I follow allow-changes-to-parts-of-a-protected-document.  I have several exception parts I want to select in the main document, and I do so by holding the Ctrl key down while dragging the mouse over the several areas.   This works, but the problem is I also want to select an area in the document Header.  To edit the Header, I need to double-click it to put it in Edit mode.  This removes the selected areas in the main document that I have already selected.

Is there a way to select areas in both the Header and main document at once?  I wish Word had a better way of editing the selected exceptions because it is too easy to make a mistake holding the Ctrl key down and there is no way to removing a selection once you select it.

Thanks,
David

Custom cover in Word not saving background colour

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 10:21 AM PDT

Hello,

I've been trying for hours now to create a custom cover for a business document, and where I've used numerous online guides (which all give the same information) down to the T, my saved cover always lacks the background colour.

I have a picture on a black background and want the background (page) colour to match; I then use red text for the title and white for the company name, but when I try to insert the cover into a document, the black picture and red text is there, but the black background and white text are not - I'm only seeing the black picture on a white background!  By then trying to change the background colour, I change the entire document to black, rendering my black text throughout the document invisible!

I tried closing and re-opening the program but nothing seems to help.  I'm using an official 2013 Office pack and cannot figure out why my Word is acting this way... it's all so straight forward aside from this incredibly frustrating background colour glitch!

Create Indented Table Style/ Troubleshooting

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 09:03 AM PDT

Hi,

To create an indent to a table style in word 2010, I am under the impression that the paragraph->Indentation section will always set the indentation for your table using that style (see image below). However, I have found this works only sometimes. I am not sure why the table is not indented by this feature. 

I ask because I have already created a document using this table style and hope to modify the existing style, rather than create a new one and manually apply it to each table in my document.

Thanks

"Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style"

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2013, and I'm trying to permanently enable "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style".


I've tried the following:

* Open a blank document > Ctrl+Shift+S > "Modify" (keeping Normal as the Style Name) > "Format" > "Paragraph" > Checking "Don't add space ..." > Toggling "New documents based on this template" > OK.

* Same as above, and then saving the blank document.

* Open a blank document > Clicking the arrow in the "Paragraph" section in the "HOME" ribbon > Checking "Don't add space ..." > Clicking "Set As Default" > Selecting "App documents based on the Normal.dotm template?" > OK

* Same as above, and then saving the blank document.

None of the methods above worked.  In all cases that ridiculous space-adding functionality is still enabled.  Opening the saved blank document *did* work, however.  So I guess I can start using Word by opening the blank document and then saving it under a new name.  But isn't there a working method of circumventing this functionality?  Why isn't Word doing what it's saying it will do?

How to Update Table of Contents Without Losing Cross-References?

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 08:35 AM PDT

I'm writing a technical document template where sections may be added or deleted during the review process. Is there a way to update the table of contents without losing the cross-references - OR - can you easily convert the table of contents to cross-referenced links without individually selecting each heading and manually inserting links?

I would think MS would have a solution to this. Thanks!

Can you copy or move a hyperlink without losing the link

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 07:47 AM PDT

I have a document in Microsoft Word 2013 that has a "table of contents" created but has the Item, then a bunch of tabs and then the Page/Section.  I want to clean it up by putting the information into tables but find that if I create a table and try to copy and paste, or move the wording and link, I lose the link/bookmark. 

Is there a way to maintain the link/bookmark and be able to move it to another area of the document? 

I have also tried to convert the text to table but all of the line goes into one cell.  It appears that whomever created this "table of contents" linked the entire line.

Example:

Item                                                   Page/Section

Cover Sheet                                               i

There are tabs between the Cover Sheet and i.  That entire line is linked to a bookmark in the document.  It works as is, but just want to clean it up.  Any suggestions?

Spell Check & Word 2007

Currently, I get out of spell check, correct it and start over.  Is there a way to retype the word without getting out of spell check?

Word 2013 - Windows Security screen "pop-up"

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 06:24 AM PDT

I have been using Word 2013 since September, 2013 without problem until yesterday.

When opening an existing or new document, a "Windows Security" pop-up appears which indicates it is "Connecting to office.microsoft.com" and asks me to "Enter my credentials (User name and Password)".  My Domain is DELL-PC.  I tried inputting my MS Account ID and pw back that did not work.  I cannot resolve this problem.  I didn't even know I had "credentials".  Why has this occurred suddenly, did I inadvertently do something to cause this problem?

I have no problem with MS Excel 2013, only with MS Word 2013.

My wife also has a MS Account on this PC and she does not have the same problem with MS Word 2013.  So, I am able to do my Word 2013 work under her account for the time being.

This appears to be a MS "glitch".  Any suggestions?

[ISSUE] Freeze on Word 2013 (while inactive for 5 min)

Posted: 25 Jul 2014 01:57 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm using Word 2013 x64. It works great really smooth. 
But while i'm editing a document if I switch to chrome (for exemple) and come back 5 minutes later on my document the document is frozen. 
I mean : 

The word's windows appears, i can click on actual content, but i cannot naviguate (scroll) into it or modify the content. 
Only the document is frozen because I can close the windows (it ask for saving) and then I restart it's ok but again if do anything else for 4-5 minutes it freeze. 

I have already tested to disable hadware acceleration

I just checked my update everything ok. 

I don't think it's related to my hardware :

Windows 8.1 x64

i7 

8Go RAM

756Go SSD (is it possible that because there is no more cache on it, maybe it cause the issue ?) 

Thanks (I activated notification on thread)

Delete Custom Bookmarks

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 11:35 PM PDT

ah yesterday I found a thread about delete certain bookmarks but not others in a document, and today I cant find it. ?

Anyway, I am after a macro that will delete all custom bookmarks from a document but leaving the built-in TOC/Xref/etc bookmarks.

The customer bookmarks all start with the same letters, i.e. ABCD, but then have a variable combination of numbers/letters.

So a macro to delete all bookmarks that all start "ABCD" woud be very handy.

Many thanks

Bug Report for Word 2013: Document Recovery panel disappears after enabling editing mode

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 10:03 PM PDT

Hi, I have a bug report for Word 2013, I hope this is the correct place to do it.

The scenario is this:

1. After a crash with several open documents, I open Word for this first time since the crash by opening a new document that starts in 'Protected View'

2. At this point the Document Recovery panel is opened and showing several documents

3. Clicking on 'Enable' to open the document in editing mode, removes the Document Recovery panel and it does not restore again. There is no option to reach the recovered document since the crash unless finding the folder in which they were stored and manually opening the .asd files.

Question On Office 2007 and systems slowing down in response time

Posted: 15 Feb 2007 12:41 PM PST

Hi Leon,



Thanks for the reply and your insight in this matter.



The system that I am running is a P4 3.0 with a gig of ram which should be
more than enough power for this product.



In my instance it seems that I have to double click more than once on
everything like my CPU is running at 100% or high. I have had my task
manager open to see my CPU usage and nothing hits that high.



I have updated my Mouse, keyboard and video drivers to the latest just to
rule them out.



The same thing is still happening and I have rebooted at least three times
this week with the same issues.



I have now installed this on a few other systems as we are doing a slow roll
out and I am getting the same response from others as well just a general
slowdown in their systems. If a P4 3.0 with a gig of ram is not enough for
this software then it seems that a lot of people are going to have a lot of
problems if it's a resource issue.



I do not think in this case that is the problem something is eating up the
resources of the computers and not just mine but others.



Can you recommend any way of indentify the resources that are in use. Again
I never had this type of issue until we started installing Office 2007.



Thanks

Adam Raff

Office 2007 and Acrobat 8.x

Posted: 14 Feb 2007 12:24 PM PST

> Thanks to you both. I got the same info from Adobe on this, and yes,
G-N-O, 
Adobe has had all the information they need for quite some time. In
fact, it has been available to all add-in developers since the public
Beta 2 mid last year came out. Other suppliers of Office add-ins have
managed to be 2007 compliant by now, but Adobe hasn't.
 
There is no need to collaborate for Microsoft. The DOCX file format is
now controlled by a standards body and the entire documentation is
available to everyone. It simply is a complex file format that will take
vendors quite some time to implement. I wouldn't expect any other vendor
to support the DOCX format for the next half year or so.
Your problem can be overcome relatively easy though. If you go in Office
button menu, Word Options, Save, you can switch the default save format
to the 97-2003 file format (DOC), which should be no problem for
InDesign to understand.
 
There is no Microsoft implementation of XML. The new file formats are
built using XML. The spec though wasn't adopted by a standard's body
until December (getting something as complex as this standardized is a
lot of work and took around a year), which means that most other vendors
probably didn't start implementing it until then.
 
Office 2007 is the first Office release in a long time that brings
actual change and innovation. The downside of that of course is that the
transition is not as seamless as it could be, especially for early
adopters that are going to 2007 now. Once all the other vendors have
caught up with Office 2007 (prob. in a year or so) it will be much more
seamless.

MSOCache in Office 2007

Posted: 13 Feb 2007 02:05 PM PST

Hi Peter,

The way Office 2007 works is that the actual setup (and repair) are done from the MSOCache folder. If you delete the \MSOCache
folder nothing will happen immediately, but when you go to update, repair, reinstall, etc, when you put in the product CD it will
first recreate the \MSOCache folder, if it can, or you'll need to do a manual fix and reinstall.

The main issues being resolved by this is, no longer need to be able to find the CD (a surprising # of people seem to misplace it
<g>) and for deployments, the MSOCache folders can be setup ahead of time and then setup run basically locally.

2007 installation it says:

"The Local Install Source (MSOCache folder, my comment) feature is installed
so that you do not have to insert the CD during the following Setup
operations:
.. The Detect and repair operation
.. The Demand install operation
.. The Maintenance mode setup operation
.. The installation of service packs and updates
Also, you cannot remove the Local Install Source feature after the
installation has been completed. The Windows Cleanup Wizard does not include
an option to remove this feature."

I can see why MS wants the folder to be there (it will certainly minimize
support calls) but to me who install the functions I need one time and one
time only and neither have the tendency to break the program so that it needs
repairing, I prefer to delete this folder and then insert the CD if I at some
stage update the software.

Can I not do this? (Typically the KB article does not address this but only
specifies the way MS would like users to behave) >>

Is Word 2007 Supposed to Run Configuration Each Time I Open It?

Posted: 13 Feb 2007 08:29 AM PST

Not that I am aware of. I never set up Vista to run as administrator, just
used it the way it came with the computer. When I installed Office, I just
did the default install. How do I tell if I am running as an admin? And
should I be running as Admin or not? Thanks in advance...

Multiple errors on reinstall of Office 2003 Standard

Posted: 11 Feb 2007 01:37 PM PST

I did an uninstall from Add/Remove programs--started the windows uninstall
cleaner and it did not show Office as being installed so I reinstalled with
custom install. Everything was fine for awhile. I finished installing all
the updates from the Web for Office that appeared after my reinstall. I also
installed Framework 2 and I think that caused a problem because now the entry
in printers for Office image scanner has disappeared again.

Do I try another reinstall or do I try a repair? If I do a repair will it
pick all the udpates for Office that it had be load in automatic updates?
Also, I installed Rollup 2 and Framework 2 from downloaded files on my
desktop so I could turn off autoprotect on Norton Internet Security 2006. I
read somewhere that Framework should be installed before Office is installed.
I did have Framework 1.1 with appropriate updates installed before loading
Office for the first time.

If this is happening under Vista you need to:
1) turn off "User Account Control" UAC
2) accept EULA one more time
3) turn "User Account Control" back on (this is optional - but you'll get
security warnings if you don't.

UAC is located in Control Panel/User Accounts and Family Safety/User Accounts

Advice for setting up partitions/Semi standard usage

I'll suggest ~6 gig / which will allow more room for updates.

The 4 gig var seems to be a waste.

On my multi-boot system
# du -hs /var
246M /var <=== Mandriva Linux

# du -hs /fc5/var
138M /fc5/var <=== Fedora Core

# du -hs /suse/var
126M /suse/var

# du -hs /kubuntu/var
310M /kubuntu/var

# du -hs /ubuntu/var
221M /ubuntu/var

My suggestions: common /tmp and swap partitions with all other
directories installed in the / partition for each distribution.

I would create a common /local partition to contain common stuff
between distributions.
Example: /local/opt for common third party
application installations, like firefox, java, from the third party
vendor.
/local/downloads partition to hold the download archives.



I have a /site partition for my own creations shared accross distros

$ ls /site
bin config doc ppp sounds

For user stuff, I have a /accounts partition.
Common stuff is linked from /home/bittwister to /accounts/bittwister.
Chopped down ls -al $HOME/ examples:

.bash_logout -> /accounts/bittwister/.bash_logout
.bash_profile -> /accounts/bittwister/.bash_profile
.bashrc -> /accounts/bittwister/.bashrc
bin -> /accounts/bittwister/bin/
comp -> /accounts/bittwister/comp/
.cron -> /accounts/bittwister/.cron
firefox.tar -> /accounts/bittwister/firefox.tar
.jnewsrc -> /accounts/bittwister/.jnewsrc
.mozilla -> /accounts/bittwister/.mozilla

Now I can backup /local/downloads, /site and /accounts on one cd.

Different distributions can have different revisions of the desktop
manager which could step on each other so everything else is in / like
/home.

Your last problem is user/group ids. They can change between
releases and each distro may have different starting numbers for
users.

$ grep bittwister /etc/passwd
bittwister:x:500:500:Bit Twister:/home/bittwister:/bin/bash

$ grep bittwister /suse/etc/passwd
bittwister:x:1000:100:Bit Twister:/home/bittwister:/bin/bash

From now on, I will create the /junk/ account as the first user
account for testing.

All my other user accounts will be 1500+ so I can just
cut/paste to bottom of /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/ shadow on new
installs.

A suggestion for app/system testing. I keep spare ~6 gig partitions
for testing new system/app releases/updates and keep one as
production hot backup.

I'll do a clean install in a test partition, install my custom changes
and if testing says ok, then it becomes the new production partition
and the old partition becomes a test partition.

For doing someting which might dink up the system, copy / into a spare
test partition, change fstab in test, add to my lilo boot loader, boot
test partition and play around.

You can boot a computer today without a network connection and get the correct

I do not have a program called setclock, never heard of it. There is ntpdate
and rdate that I know of. I checked the ntpdate man and "too hard" to guess so I
included what works for me.

Also instead of an ip number set often ntp.yourisp.com works.

Allen Kistler <moc> did eloquently scribble: 
 

He said hardware RAID 1.
So, I think he's probably got a promise card.
The crappy ones that aren't supported by the latest kernels as anything but
disk controllers. Cos if he's got a REAL hardware raid card, the operating
system should've only been presented with 160gigs worth of hard disk space.

Thanks for the advice, Douglas. I think I've solved the problem now by

My original setup had both my harddrives on one IDE cable, with my
primary one being the master. I had two DVD drives on the other IDE
cable.

Having switched it so that both hard-drives are on different IDEs
(primary is master on IDE1, and secondary drive is slave on IDE2) it
seems to work fine.

Eric,
Thank you for your helpful reply. This did resolve the question for me
although I did find another problem as well: I also had a space after the ">
" in ownerid, the effect being to add a space before the curly bracket. This
generated an item id error (which is why it did not work when I tried
removing the \ previously). Removing the space has it working nicely.
Your help is appreciated.

Initial report load takes a while

Posted: 07 Mar 2005 01:31 PM PST

keep in mind that in general and no matter how fast your hardware, reporting
is always...well lets just say sluggish :-)

while you can use parameters to reduce the data set even these have
limitations. Currently there is a bug that means you can only add 50 items
to a parameter drop down. For instance you might want to have a drop to
which lists all your users, you would then choose a user and report on them.
The issue today is you could only put 50 items in the parameter list.

CRM Contacts - Sales for Outlook Client

Posted: 04 Mar 2005 09:06 PM PST

>From talking to our support vendor, this issue is due to security
settings within CRM. It appears that with Contacts, it will import ALL
the contacts that the user has security rights to see. That section
under Tools/Options is labeled Contacts, where the other two ar titled
MY Appointments and MY Tasks. The workaround that I have come up with
to address is to temporarily modify the user/group security settings,
check and sync, and uncheck prior to resetting security. Will follow up
after implementation on the success of this. Seems like it would work,
but certainly a pain. Anyone have other ideas on this, or reasons why
the workaround might fail?

Thanks,
Scott
