Cannot open RTF file, Word 2007

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 01:24 PM PDT

I have some files on a disc that I cannot open, scans put onto Word and saved as RTF. Error: "there is not enough memory or disc space to complete the operation." I was there when the files were created about 5 years ago. This computer has 165 G free space. What is the possible explanation and is there any way around it?

MS Office 2013 uninstall incorrect xps to pdf converter addin

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 12:02 PM PDT

 I had had an outside vendor for pdf files that quit working after a windows update so I was trying to work around using an  xps  or oxps file then converting to pdf, .

I downloaded Microsoft add in for xps converter to pdf download file=(confirmation.aspx?id=7) thinking that the office 07 version might work since 2013 didn't have one.

It is very peculiar because I can copy an xps or oxps extension to one note and it will read it, but word says it is unknown.

1. I can't figure out why my pdf suite quit working and is now shown as incompatible and

2. I don't know how to uninstall the add in

In the past if I have attempted to download an incorrect version the software would notify me so I wasn't careful enough. I can't find the place to uninstall the add-in and don't know what to do except sit here and feel foolish.

spell check

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 11:42 AM PDT

I use windows 2003. Recently I was writing in a document originally written in Spanish. I was writing in English. When I tried to spell check it said I had to DL a program. Afterwards It checked in Spanish. I tried to change it back to U.S. English. But  the spell checker kept going back to spanish.

Can you help me?

Word goes blank during editing

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 09:30 AM PDT

I have a user who will open a Word document, be happily typing away, and suddenly it just goes blank.  Word is still up but the body of the document goes white.  This has happened with multiple documents and to different users on different PCs.  At first we thought we had a resource issue; so we put them into brand new PCs running Windows 7.  The problem just resurfaced after two months and on a totally different document.  Of course, this is a completely fresh installation as well.

Any thoughts?

Adjusting alignment of subscripts and superscripts

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 09:30 AM PDT

Is there a way to adjust where the subscripts and superscripts appear? Specifically, I'd like to "nudge" my subscripts down a little farther below the letter they're attached to. (I know how to do this in MathType but am hoping to just be able to type a few things in without going to MathType.)

Thanks!

word 2013 navigation headings missing

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 08:04 AM PDT

Hi,all, I have a word doc generated on Word 2007, which has headings for every section. But when I opened it in Word 2013, I found that some headings are missing/skipped as seen in the navigation panel. So I am wondering how to fix it? How to bring back those headings so I can navigate the content properly?

cheers

custom heading styles do not show as headers in "place in this document" for hyperlinks

Changing a numerical MailMerge field to an Ordinal number (NOT using date formatting)

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 05:30 AM PDT

Hi,

We have some mail merge documents that are being created automatically, and one of the MailMerge fields is an ordinary number such as 5, 42, 99, 12.. etc.

What we want is for the final document to display the number as an ordinal: 5th, 42nd, 99th, 12th.. etc

I have found many many guides about how to change a date field into an ordinal with the \Ordinal directive, but this field is just being passed as a mailmerge value so it looks like this in the mailmerge document before it is used to create a printed document:

<<number>> 

It is not a date field.

We don't really get to see the document and amend it before it goes to the printer, so I assume having an embedded macro or something would not work.

Is what I want to achieve even possible?  I've spent several hours trying different ways of doing this

Many thanks in advance.

pc and mac not compatible? How to change a cross symbol to a tick symbol on a legacy check box

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 05:20 AM PDT

Hi, I created a protected form with all the whistles, I'd mixed all types of controls, command buttons to hide unhide,  and added macros, VBA to clear, save to PDF, etc.... It worked brilliantly on my PC and other PCs, Unfortunately this must also work on Macs. 

On a mac, nothing works apart from legacy tools and when I tried to create the same doc on Mac, well, "argh" is the word. 

At this point anyone who knows how to get my macro word file to work on Mac is my hero. 

If not, I have redone the form with legacy tools only, but I really do not like the check box cross. is there a way to change the symbol to a tick? I have come across previous post saying there wasn't but I secretly hope that someone came across a new solutions since the last posts.

Thank you

Microsoft Word Starter 2010 - Microsoft Office Starter (English) - temporary copy available on not saving - what does it mean?

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 05:02 AM PDT

I have a Microsoft Office Starter 2010 that came preinstalled with my OS on device. Whenever I use it and do not save a file, I see this dialog box. What exactly it means? Where can I see the temporary saved copy? Where does it gets stored?

 I tried clicking the learn more which took me to the online help site of microsoft office, but I didnot get any thing useful that could answer my queries. This could be a very helpful tool if by mistake we click don't save instead of save for the document.

All the help will be apprectiated. Thanks.

Word 2013 - maintain compatibility

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 03:57 AM PDT

I have just bought a new laptop running windows 8.1 64 bit and installed Office professional Plus 2013. When I go to Save as, I am not given the opportunity to "Maintain compatibility" (there is no check box). When I click on "Tools" in the Save as dialogue, I only see Map network drive and not the general options (which include passwords for modify and edit.

I have the same version on my desktop (also running win 8.1 64 bit) and these options show there. They also show in Excel 2013 on the same laptop.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled already.

Also if I go to the Options screen and go to advanced, there are no compatibility options  listed at the bottom.

Can anyone help? I desperately need the option to save a file as read-only on the laptop.

Alert icon for my e-mail on Word and Excel documents

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 10:31 PM PDT

I just noticed an "alert" icon (yellow triangle) on the top right of my Word and Excel documents.  There is also one of those head silhouette icons (since I don't use a photo for my profile).  When I hover over this, it says that I am signed in to my e-mail account.  There is also a drop down menu when I click on an arrow..  The drop down says "Account Error.  Sorry, we can't get to your account right now.  To fix this, please sign in again."  There is a "sign in" to click on, but when I click on it, a small blank window opens up with one of those horizontal lines like when the computer is showing something loading or showing the progress of something.  The window closes and nothing happens.  The drop down also has my name, my Outlook e-address and options:  "about me, change photo, account settings, switch account".  If I click on "account settings", the new page is "User Information" and under that is says "Account Error.  there are problems with your account.  To fix them, please sign in again.  But I don't know where I'm supposed to sign in. There is also a small box to click on "Fix me".  When I click on that, the same blank window with the "progress" line opens, then closes and nothing else happens.  Also listed:  my name, Outlook e-address, "change photo", "about me", "sign out", "switch account", a choice for "Office background" and "Office theme", Connected Services (OneDrive-Personal with my e-address).  I have no idea why the icons appear on my Word documents and I don't know how to get rid of them.  I also don't know what might be happening to my e-mail account because of this.  Anyone else have this problem?  Anyone have any suggestions of what I can do?

Microsoft Word crashes repeatedly on Surface 2

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 09:18 PM PDT

Hi all,

I have been having a problem where Microsoft Word crashes repeatedly (every few minutes) while typing up a document. It is not the preview version and I could not find a similar question.

This has been very frustrating as I am a student and bought the surface 2 for mainly this purpose! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Word form field problem

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 07:51 PM PDT

I have a form field set up in Word 2010. the form is protected for filling in forms. When I tick one of my check boxes called 'Contract Signed', it seems to disable the text fields above, which previously allowed me to enter text. (I inherited this form from someone else). 

I have looked at the form field properties and pressed Alt F9 to see if there is a hidden macro or something which is causing this but can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Anita

I have a solid line that replaced a dotted line I was typing to inset a sum for a column of numbers- it appears when you hit enter to move to the next line to insert the sum - if you don't hit backspace to remove it  becomes a permanent fixture to your work- it won't allow you to by pass it and can't be removed by backspace ??????? 

Open document in Word 2007 after Word is closed.

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 06:33 PM PDT

I have a couple of problems that I suspect are related.  First of all, I do a lot of file and folder management with macro programming in Word 2007; however, from time to time when I run a macro that involves moving folders, I get an error message that states that a process cannot be performed because a file is still open in Word when, in fact, there is no file open.  I can re-open that file and close it, but the macro still does not work.  I have to close Word, restart it, and the process will continue.  In some cases, I have tried to do the process manually by shutting down Word and attempting to move a folder with Windows Explorer.  However, I get a Windows error stating that the file is still in use, even though Word is completely shut down.  In that case, I have to reboot the computer, and even then I get a message that Windows is trying to shut down but that Word still has an open file (even though Word is not open) and asks if I want to save changes to the file.  If I reboot and re-run the macro, it goes through just fine.  It doesn't happen all the time, but just enough to be irritating.  Any ideas as to why this may be happening?

List Templates (used by bullets and numbering) limits?

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 04:50 PM PDT

I upgraded from Office 97 to 2007 last year.  I have been supporting document authors and am about to train a new batch of them.  Word 97 had a known List Template limit.  Use of ad hoc bullets and numbering instead of using style could result in a corrupt document.  According to mvps.org, the limit was 200.  There is a Microsoft knowledge base page that shows resource limits but List Templates is not included:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211489/en-us

I checked one document today.  I found that the text used only 3 or 4 bullet styles.  It contain no bulleted or numbered paragraph that were not from those styles.  However, the file contained 82 List Templates (exported using VBA).  Creating a new document with no content and attaching my custom template resulted in 15 List Templates.  I added content to the blank document and applied all 14 bullet and numbering styles.  Exporting the List Templates again resulted in only 15.

Is there a List Template limit still exist in Word 2007?  If so, what is it?

Can't repair Word 2013..

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 04:20 PM PDT

HP Desktop Pavilion/Win 8.1/Office 2013.

Yesterday I tried a 'Quick Repair' on Word to fix a problem with text formatting options that are either greyed out or don't work. Today I tried again, intending to do an 'Online Repair' via Control Panel/Programs & Features/ Change. Nothing happens. The option box for 'quick' or 'online' doesn't appear. It's been a very frustrating day with no work accomplished. Is MS ever going to give us a fix-it for Office/Word 2013? Any help would be much appreciated.

how to get office on main desktop not just online

paragraph style's Space-before parameter is ignored

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 03:20 PM PDT

I have a style "List Bullet 2" for which the Space-Before is set to 6 points.  Yet some of my paragraphs don't seem to respect this.  I don't see any indication that the parameter has been overridden with a local paragraph setting.  This is the kind of thing that drives people to LaTeX.  What could possibly cause this?

Afternote:  This really should come as no surprise.  I'm stuck here late in the evening, other priorites gone by the wayside, trapped because Word 2010 (Nth generation) decides to trip me up into a face slam into the ground.  What kind of Word processor flaunts with impunity something as simple as paragraph spacing?  I mean, it's not as if there aren't decades of examples of products that respect the basic functionality of a word processor.  How did we get into this situation where corporations force people to use a product that *so* *doesn't* work.  Not all the time, justwhen you don't have the slack to deal with it.

Scrolling to the next Find result places it at the top of the screen instead of in the centre

Posted: 14 Aug 2014 03:18 PM PDT

When using Ctrl+PgDn to scroll to the next Find result, the found text (highlighted) is stupidly placed by Word at the *top* of the screen, which means that, should you need to check the context for (what's before and after) each search result, you always need to scroll a bit up every single time.

Is there a workaround so that when you go the next search result, the highlighted occurence of the text is placed in the *centre* of the screen isntead?

Thanks!

HELP me unistall Trial Office Professional 2007

Posted: 27 Mar 2007 03:30 PM PDT

Bummer...if you are running at least Windows XP, a quick fix might be to use
System Restore to set it back to a time when the uninstaller worked.

Good luck.

IIRC you can only convert retail trials to retail versions and not to volume

Problem installing Office 97 Professional SR2b patch in Vista

Posted: 24 Mar 2007 02:01 PM PDT

I can understand the desire to not spend money and invest the time to
upgrade however eventually they comes a point when software is no longer
functional on new a new OS. Since Office 97 was released, Windows 98, 98SE,
ME, and XP were released. The fact that it continued to work on 4 (combining
98 and 98SE) different operating systems is something that you should be
quite happy about. But now it's time to make a change. Your office software
is over 10 years old and you are doing yourself and your employees a
disservice.

I know you didn't want to hear this but I also know that you suspect this
much already.

office 2002 and 2003 prof

Hello,

If you are running Windows XP, you can regain a lot of disk space if you
delete files/folders leftover from installing the various (and numerous)
Windows updates (assuming you have installed them along the way). These
files/folders, in general, are needed only if you want to uninstall them. But
if you have been using the PC for a while and it's working fine, there isn't
much need to keep those files/folders hanging around taking up valuable disk
space. I have seen several free utilities on the net that will find these
files/folders and delete them for you if you're not able to do it manually.
You could regain multiple megs of space.

Geez...does anyone know of anything that might keep this from installing? Is
there a switch I can run with MSI that might tell me more?? Can anyone make
sense of that log???

Could the fact that I installed Exchange 2007 without first running
prepareAD have anything to do with it? BTW...why would exchange install run
without doing this on it's own??? It's like NT here with no exchange tabs in
AD. I figured exchange would prepare the schema itself...2003 did, didn't it?

Anywho..please help.
