Microsoft Word - Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Microsoft Word - Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 02:27 PM PDT

Hey all,

So, whenever I send a word document to my coworkers, they receive an error message from the file saying it cannot be opened (See photo attached). However, I have no problem opening any of their files.

How do I resolve this issue? 

For context, I run Office 2013 on a virtual machine running Windows 7. My machine is a macbook pro. My coworkers have Office for Mac on their macbooks. Could there be some error in the crossover? It's only recently cropped up as a problem. The file I am mainly trying to send is an edited version of a doc they sent me. I have since changed parts of the text, resaved it, and sent it. Now it has stopped working for them. I've tried creating an entirely new document, but it hasn't worked.

Advice?

Cheers,

Navin

Option to change squiggly / wavy line to highlight instead?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 01:06 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a particular request from my management and I asking if this can be done in Word. We are big on using active sentences versus passive sentences in our reports. I am very aware of the option of turning on "Passive sentences" setting in Proofing > Grammar Style. This places a blue squiggly / wavy line  underneath the passive sentence.

This is my question: Is there a option / way to replace the squiggly / wavy line by highlighting the sentence instead?  

Printing documents problem

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:57 PM PDT

I have Office 2013 using Windows 8.1   I type a document in Portrait then go to print. I select portrait in the printing menu but it prints in landscape on the left hand side as though it is an A5.    If I select landscape in the print menu it prints out in portrait but again to the left as though it is A5. I notice  in the print menu that the A5 size option has a permanent black outline square next to it irrespective of what size I choose.  Please what can I do, I am ripping my hair out !!

Copying and pasting Footnotes into new document is not preserving numbers

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:41 PM PDT

Is there a way to copy and paste just the footnotes into a new document while preserving the original footnote numbering?  Once you break the link with the reference, all of the numbering goes to "1" for all notes.  I tried turning into footnotes, pasting while preserving source formatting but cannot seem to get it to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

Word 2013 - Grammar check won't turn off

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:26 AM PDT

Hi -

I've disabled the "check grammar" option in Options, and I can't get Word to stop highlighting and checking grammar "errors" in my documents.  I went through and unchecked every box for things that the grammar checker would be looking for, and it still checks them all.  Please make it stop.

I've tried using the "check spelling only" button on the Ribbon, instead of "check spelling and grammar".  It still checks grammar.  Please make it stop.

I am at my wit's end.  It's bad enough that the grammar checker does an awful job - now I have to click "ignore" when I spell check through hundreds of marked up but not incorrect grammar "errors".

Please tell me how to disable the grammar checker permanently.

Thanks.

Is there any way to protect an MS Office 2010 Word Document so it is print only?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 07:41 AM PDT

I am developing educational resources for Dyslexic and struggling learners.

I want to prevent purchasers from copying and editing hard-earned files and images. The MS Word Documents are intended for eCommerce and must be able to be tamper-proof in order to protect the design.

A user must not be able to:

-right click and save an image to their computer for future personal use (the images are copyrighted)

-remove all content and pirate the hard-earned layout as a template (this would allow them to input their own content and create their own sale-able document)

A user must be able to:

-save the protected document to a download file

-print a perfect document for student use

 

I have followed all the directions in MS tutorials and on YouTube to password protect a document for read only. Once complete I can still right click images to save and copy into a pc and use as desired for any other purpose (this breaks copyright laws).

I have attempted to convert MS Word Documents to a PDF but the integrity of the document spoils (images are fuzzy and discoloured, and lines are broken even though the original design was set to solid lines). Also, I can still right click the images to copy and use as desired for any other purpose.

 

Please help! This issue is preventing these resources from reaching students who would benefit from using them.

Wildcard to find wrongly capitalized word?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 05:14 AM PDT

I have a document in which "The" is frequently capitalized (incorrectly) in mid-sentence and I'm trying to figure out a wildcard search to deal with this.

I want to find all instances of "The" which follow a word-plus-space - thus omitting instances which follow period-plus-space.

Using ([A-z] )(the ) in Find gets me all instances of "the" which follow a word-plus-space, but ([A-z] )(The ) finds no instances at all of "The".  What could I be doing wrong?

Grateful for any suggestions.

Please do NOT tell me to do the following: 1) Review, Language, Set Proofing Language (English--US, in this case), click both boxes at the bottom until they're clear, Set as Default, and OK to close window; or 2) File, Options, Proofing, routine.  I have done both, but to no avail.

.docx compatibility question

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 05:45 PM PDT

Hi

I've just started using Word 2013 and I'm confused about .docx files. Can anyone tell me which previous versions of Word can also open these files? Will the formatting of documents saved on Word 2013 as docx files be messed up when opened in pre-2013 versions?


Also, can people with Macs open and edit .docx files originating from Word 2013?

I've just started freelancing and really need to figure this out - I need to send Word documents to people with lots of different set ups. Sorry if it's a very basic questions - I'm not very techy and this is stressing me out so much.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

Linked Excel Objects in Word Resize & Distort Randomly

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 05:24 PM PDT

Hello - I have a Word document and within it, I have several linked Excel objects.  These objects are inserted using paste special - Paste link as Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object.  These objects are inserted using Paste Special > Paste link as Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object. We are using Office 2010.
For some reason the aspect ratio tends to be skewed when the object is inserted so the tables are distorted. It's not entirely consistent (some objects inserted in the same document in the same way have the problem and others don't). Sometimes the object will be okay when first pasted but if the linked object is updated then the table distorts.

The distortion is usually around 17% Height x 3% Width and 'Lock aspect ratio' is generally set to True.

When I fix this manually, I do the following:

1. Right click on the object, then select Format Object from the menu.
2. On the Size tab, de-select Lock aspect ratio.
3. Click the Reset button.
4. Click OK.

This resets the object to 100% of it's original size.

I typically then:

1. Right click on the object again, then select Format Object from the menu.
2. On the Size tab, select Lock aspect ratio.
3. Click OK.

After I do this, sometimes the linked object will remain at 100%, while other times the aspect ratio will change on its own resulting in a distorted image.  I see many posts regarding this topic, but most of them are over 1 year old.  Has a solution to this problem with Microsoft Word been created?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

inserting rows and columns in WORD 2013 matrices

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 03:32 PM PDT

After reading a Microsoft tutorial, I understand that WORD 2013 has a nice quick way of adding rows and columns to a matrix, by simply hovering and clicking on an icon. Unfortunately this icon does not appear when I hover over the sides of my matrix. I therefore have to add my rows and columns by longer, earlier methods.

There is another problem that may be related. There is no multidirectional arrow at the top left corner of my matrix and I am unable to drag my matrix to another position in my document.

This is so disappointing because everything else is working okay. Does anybody have the solution? I chatted with somebody on the Microsoft chat line but they could only advise me to seek professional support elsewhere!    -(

Looking forward to your answers.     :-)

How can I include Page Background Color with a Mail Merge Word 2010 edit documents

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 09:51 AM PDT

I am creating a document in Word 2010 or Word 2013  using the Mailings tab and an Excel worksheet.  I finish and merge to multiple page document. That part is working fine.  I have formatted the fields with a white  background (paragraph shading, selected text)  behind them and  have the page  set up to  use Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 80 or 60 using the Office color set.    After merge the "Letters1" document has a white background.  

 I  can reset the background color in Letters1 and the white boxes are still there.   Anyone know how  I can get  the page background color to stick through the merge process?

I am just the techie, who is working with a supervisor on a project.   I have been using Word and Mailmerge for 16+ years.  The merged documents are being given to others.  My supervisor wants  to make it clear which areas are the merged data and liked the white boxes with the background, which did not print in black & white (a positive).   I have looked at Word Options, the Developer tab and some VB properties (a little bit of a reach for me)  but nothing jumps out.    Any ideas?

Docs default open to DISPLAY MARKUPS

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 06:55 AM PDT

I have created a word document where I am collaborating with another writer. We have used the "Track Changes" function accordingly. The document is now finished and I have clicked Review -> "FINAL" to not show the markup. I save the file. However, every time I open the file again it defaults to showing the markup, even when I've saved it otherwise.

The problem this gives me is that I'm trying to combine multiple, separate .docx files into a single PDF. As I do this, the PDF program opens the .docx file and PDFs it showing the comments and markups.

Any help?

Thanks!

Excel files not opening by clicking on them

Posted: 02 Mar 2007 02:36 PM PST

Hi Adam,

To answer your question:

When you double-click an Excel workbook in Windows Explorer, a dynamic data
exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the
workbook that you double-clicked.

If the Ignore other applications setting is selected, Excel ignores DDE
messages sent to it by other programs. As a result, the DDE message sent to
Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook
that you double-clicked. This is for the consideration of security.

As we all know, the conveniency and the security are always conflict with
each other :)

Hi Scott
Thanks for your reply. I am considering this option using hotmail or
something, but would really like to somehow do this in exchange. I think you
could set up a child domain or use some kind of strange delivery options, but
I'm not sure how this would work exactly. My director is not very hot on the
idea of routing out to hotmail and back. I have to agree with him, this is
probably not the cleanest way of doing this. This may work for a temporary
solution, but I would really like to do it in exchange.

use small business server which is the only support single server

implementation guide. Here is the link

c360 also has a Dashboard product that offers the same features just about
every entity in CRM (save for Activities). Also look into customer

cant access the CRM interface

What is it doing exactly? is there any error?
You will ensure as Jakob said that the DNS and IIS are working correctly
although you will also need to make sure there is no pop-up blocker or script
blocking enabled on that computer you are attempting to access it from.
Also make sure the DNS suffix is configured correctly or the page cannot be
found error will come up.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for this. I will give it a shot. Does not sound so bad and
if it works, it will make marketing happy.

Will test it out and let you know on this thread if I have any questions.

make sure you use deployment manager to also publish your change then also
restart the crm web service by issuing an IISRESET command

Remote Connection

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 09:22 AM PST

I VPN into work and access CRM and the screen would prompt me for a
user / pass then close down IE.

I got around this by adding the CRM address to the trusted sites in
internet explorer and it started working fine.

try that, hopefully it'll work

Price List in a Sales Order

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 01:27 AM PST

Similar question,

What if, to start with, we did not put in products but had the sales staff
put them in manually. Reason is we will be implementing Goldmine 8 for the
end of May and want to integrate Goldmine with CRM 1.2 for all the products,
inventory etc. So this would be a interim solution. So all products would
be write-ins.

I tried it out but it would not let me save an opportunity without putting
in a price list. How can I get around this until we do the integrations? Or
what would you suggest we do?

Thanks!

Next version ETA

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 02:49 PM PST

if you scan around on google you will find brief mentions of some new
features. Nothing is official though until the product rolls out of the
doors at Microsoft. Even release dates could change so while it may ship
towards the end of the year even that date may slip. Wait for an official
Microsoft announcement later in the year.

"Specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" error

We seem to have resolved the issue by applying a Hotfix to the CRM Server.
The hotfix is discussed in Knowledgebase Article 834859. You need to call
Microsoft for the hotfix.

This type of change is unsupported therefore there is a small risk. However
to keep the risk small always fully document these types of changes so you
can reverse them easily if you have issues.
