Microsoft Word - My Picture cannot be seen completely

My Picture cannot be seen completely

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 03:21 PM PDT

Hi

I have a problem in inserting picture in word 2007. my picture inserted but just it's bottom can be seem. I worked with it's handles but didn't make difference. it's similar that something has overlapped it's top part but when I make right click on it, the 'bring to front' or 'send to back' options are disabled. I have special thanks if everyone can help.

I am unable to view my scanned drawings in Word 2013, the only thing that appears is a huge, symbolic code.

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 03:06 PM PDT

Hi, fellow Microsoft Community Members,

I have Microsoft Office Word 2013 installed on my computer, and I had bought mostly with high hopes that I would be able to view my drawings as well as my writings. I have been able to write but all my drawings which I have scanned for my PC do not appear. Word always says in a little box that I have to select some sort of coding for my drawing to be read. I have tried all of the 3 choices word has given me and none of them bring up my image. They all bring a almost exact written code that describes my picture.

I am rather new to anything that involves technology. But as a artist I had hoped that I could figure out a way to view my images in Word. I still, however am at a loss and this whole problem has made me so confused. I am not even sure as silly as it sounds which types of files Word 2013 can read. I heard that Word accepted images but I am not sure what to do for it to accept mine.

How can I get Word 2013 to view my drawings and not their codes? Also if possible what are all the file types Word 2013 can accept?

If anyone has any answers or just any ideas of how I can maybe end this problem, please share. I am at my wits end with this whole situation.

Thanks

Nothing visible on Word Documents after clicking Enable Editing in Protected View

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 02:27 PM PDT

When I open a Word document (both .doc and .docx) from Outlook, they open in Protected View and I can read them.  If I click "Enable Editing," the document opens in Read Only, but there is nothing showing.  It shows the number of words, pages, etc, and I can print it, but there is no document showing.

How can I correct this?

How should Word 2010 content controlled drop down lists behave?

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 01:57 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 form with content controlled drop down fields protect by grouping.

- One cannot use the down arrow to display the options. Should you be able to do that?

- One cannot start typing and have it find an item on the list.  Should you be able to do that?

If not, is there a way to make it do these functions?

The cursor jumps to field after pasting data into a group protected form

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 01:49 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 form with content controlled fields protect by grouping.  If one:

1) Tabs into a field

2) Copies the data in that field

3) Hits tab to go to the next field

The cursor jumps to the first field at the top of the form.  One then has to click in the next box or tab through the entire form again.

Is there any work around to this action?

No cursor or ability to type on a new doc.

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 01:26 PM PDT

Open Word, 2010.

Actually I can see arrow on part of page where margins would be.

And in where I would normally type I see justification symbol instead of cursor.

Typing (blind because no cursor seems to be protected against. Word / letter count doesn't go up.)

Without doing anything, if I right click, paste option is available like I had copies something earlier (didn't).

And if I change through a couple options, minimize page and restore, sometimes the desktop screen stays visible with Word running, like I did a screen capture.

In fact, it seems like everything I am doing is being screen captured. 

Malware free. Repaired and removed Word 2010. Excel works fine. Word Perfect works fine. Tried a different keyboard.

Ideas??

Thanks.

Office programs do not start

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 11:44 AM PDT

Word worked just fine yesterday on my Windows 8.1 tablet PC (ASUS T100). Home and Student Office that was pre-installed on the tablet, which was purchased in July.

I turned it on today and nothing happens when I open Word or any other Office program.

If I try to open Word from the start menu, the desktop opens and then nothing else happens.

If I try to open Word from the desktop, nothing happens.

If I try to open a docx file from the desktop, nothing happens.

If I try to open a docx file from OneDrive, nothing happens.

If I right click a document and select open, nothing.

If I right click and try "open as" and select Word, nothing.

Word will not run in safe mode, either.

Further tinkering shows the same result for all Office apps. The computer itself is otherwise fine, so I believe this to be a problem with Office. What's particularly frustrating is the complete lack of an error message or other clue to what is wrong.

Unable to fill in Word Form

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 11:15 AM PDT

I inherited two similar Word documents. Both are in table structure. Some of the cells are empty, to enter text, and some have ActiveX checkbox controls. 

To use the ActiveX checkbox controls, I need to have the forms in Restrict Editing mode. In one of the forms, when in Restrict Editing mode, I can still type into the empty table cells, but in the other form, I'm unable to enter text into the cells.

I want to be able both to check the checkboxes, and enter text into the empty cells. Does anyone have any idea why the second form is not allowing me to do this, and what I can do to fix this situation? 

Many thanks!

Last Page footer differs than footer for rest of document

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 10:52 AM PDT

I have a template that contains a footer. When users fill out the template, the finished document may be only one page or multiple pages depending on the amount of text entered. If the document is several pages, I would like the footer to appear differently on the last page from the previous pages' footers. If the document is only one page long, the footer should appear like it would on the last page of a multi page document.  All footers contain page numbers, but the last page footer will contain some disclaimer text that should not appear on previous pages.

Example 1 (multi page document)

Page 1

Footer (page number only)

Page 2

Footer (page number only)

Page 3

Different Footer (page number and disclaimer text)

Example 2 (one-page document)

Copied and linked text between word documents

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 09:53 AM PDT

I have text in one document that I want to appear in another document, and to be updated in the second document when the first document changes.  I did a copy, paste special, paste link, HTML format in the second document.  It works fine.  when I click on the copied text I can see that it is linked, and I can find the link info.

My question is about the original document.  Is there any way in the original document to see that a text has been copied and linked to other documents?  If so, can I see what document were linked?

thanks for your help.

Hiding track changes in Word 2013

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 06:32 AM PDT

I need to be able to hide track changes so when someone else opens the document, they can see the final copy with the changes already incorporated. In Word 2010 I would normally select 'no markup' or go to 'show markup' and deselect all of the viewing options, but when I do this in Word 2013 and then save the document like this, all of the viewing options have been reset when I open it again and all of the track changes appear on the page. I don't want to accept all of the changes. I need the person viewing the document to have the option of looking at the them; I just don't want the document delivered with all the changes visible. Is there a way to hide track changes so they won't appear again until someone actually goes into the options and selects 'simple markup' or 'all markup'?

VBA UserForm Design - Using a Scroll Bar

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 06:06 AM PDT

I have a UserForm with 4 pages. There are 4 TextBoxes on each page. The layout is simple and symetrical.

However I now need to add page 5 with 30 TextBoxes, but there is no room on page 5 to accommodate them, unless I resize pages 1-4 so that they are all the same size.

I guess the answer is to place a vertical scroll bar on page 5.

How do I add the text boxes in view object (design) mode without extending the size of the page(s)?

Cross referance, bookmarks or Fields?????

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 05:20 AM PDT

Hi all,

For what seems to be a simple request may turn out to be quite tricky.

I would like to be able to create a a field or book mark that the user can type a word into and have it populate below in the table.

So The user would enter "12345" and "This is the description" and it will appear on the grid below as shown.

I was able to do this using either a bookmark or cross referance.

I would like to then save this selection/form as a Quick Part Selection and be able to insert it multiple times in the one document.

I was also able to do this however when I change the item number on a newley inserted Quick Part all the other referances change.

Is there any way a Quick selection or a Bibliography save can have all the referances contained within it so that if i change one it will not effect the other?

Cheers :~)

Bunch of random letters got added to my Word document...

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 05:06 AM PDT

Hi! First of all, thanks in advance for any help you may provide to solve this issue.

I've been revising a medical document at work, keeping track of changes for my editor to review later... Last I checked, though, a bunch of seemingly random letters were added to the original text, making it all utter garbage. Here's a few examples (in Portuguese):

Original

Introdução: As Neuropatias Óticas Hereditárias compreendem um conjunto heterogéneo de doenças genéticas cuja manifestação clínica principal é a atrofia ótica. Esta atrofia resulta da perda dos axónios das células ganglionares e alteração do suporte microvascular.

Current

As causas hereditto na aa neuropatia óneuropatia mpleta. As causas hereditto na acuidade rsiteuropatia mpleta. As causas heredittà

All I know to ask is... What the bloody damnation??? It's ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous is the fact that all I have is the garbled up current version, and the original without ANY of the hundreds of corrections I implemented. No in-between whatsoever.

So what I'd like to know is if there's any way, however remote, that I might fix the document while keeping the many, many, MANY hours-worth of revision changes that I did... Is there? Please, someone say that there is. Please! Oh, the humanity!

PS - I apologise for the tone. It's just that I somehow have a gut feeling that this is irreversible and I'll have to start all over, while getting paid exactly the same. 

Shortcut to Last Workpoint?

Custom Autocorrect Not Working Unless Capitalised

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 02:02 AM PDT

Hi guys

I originally asked this question over on a different forum (http://www.msofficeforums.com/word/22094-custom-autocorrect-issues-capitalisation.html) but to no avail. At the time, I wasn't using many shortcuts, so I let it slide when I couldn't solve it, but now I am using more and more I thought I would delve a little deeper into fixing it.

I am currently using custom autocorrects as shortcuts for adding formatted text, e.g. for the names of radioactive isotopes, as shown in the above link, so that I don't need to manually select and superscript the 99m part of 99mTc for example. Similarly, for the units µGy I have created a shortcut to correct uGy to swap the u for a Greek mu.

This works perfectly, as long as I capitalised one of the letters within the autocorrect. It doesn't matter which letter, for example even Ugy corrects to µGy. However, if all of the letters are lower case, the autocorrect doesn't work and it leaves it as ugy for instance. I have tried adding lower-case examples to "Options - Proofing - Autocorrect Options" but they automatically highlight the original capitalised version in the list, implying that the case of the letters is irrelevant in Autocorrect.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? It's not the end of the world to need to capitalise one of the letters, but as I am typing this a lot, it would save many keystrokes overall and also satiate my curiosity :)

Thank you

Mark

bibliography

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 01:12 AM PDT

Hello, some of the bibliography fields do not show up in the way my tutors direct me to (italics when it shouldn't be etc). The problem is that after I change it to the way I want it, and later update the list, it goes back to how it was before.

How can I change it permanently? Or even better - change the way it is set up to show?

Thanks

Pressing Enter key on a Heading changes the font to Times New Roman

Hi,

Word issue: cutting off edges of documents while printing

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 07:59 PM PDT

Hey guys!

I have Microsoft Office 365 University on my MacBook Pro. The university that I attend uses outdated versions of word for their documents, and every time I download and print a document, it cuts off the edges.  I have tried copying the info and pasting into a new document. I have tried to save as a pdf.  It still prints it out with the edges cut off.  By edges, I mean the top, sometimes the bottom, and sometimes the sides if there is a table or picture.  I have also tried changing the print settings to page setup: US Letter-Borderless.  Sometimes it says - 'the header in section 1 is outside the margins.'  Other times, it doesnt say that and It still cuts things off.

 

My roommate has a macbook pro and microsoft office and her version automatically adjusts every time she downloads one of these outdated documents.  None of her edges are cut off.  I have tons of documents to print for school, and I would love to figure out how to change the settings on my program to accommodate every time I download and print a document.  

 I have tried calling microsoft, I have tried messaging the chat center, but I either wait on hold for 20 minutes, or I have spoken to roughly 8 people on the chat who have not been able to solve the problem.  If you know of a way to fix this issue, or if you know of a way to reach a manager at microsoft, please let me know!!

All help is greatly appreciated.

Unable to double click and open Word or Excel files from OneDrive folder

I am having a problem opening office files on my local drive.  I recently switched to office 365 from Office 2010 and I never encountered a problem with OneDrive.  When I double click on a local Office file on the OneDrive folder, Word or Excel opens but not the document.  However, if I open the file from Word or Excel they open fine.  I also notice that if I open the file from windows 8 toolbar, if the document link is pointing to OneDrive it opens fine, but if the link is pointing to the OneDrive local drive it does not.  The files are available offline and sync is working fine.  Any thoughts?

liveCD (w/server capabilities)

Posted: 21 Nov 2006 06:28 AM PST

Try SLAX @ slax.org. Very small (the server ed is < 300 MB), based on
Slackware 11, a venerated and respected parent distro, lotsa (>1500)
ready-made modules (extensions), and is the *easiest* live CD to
remaster. I like it bec it was designed w/ the intension of explicitly
being a live CD distro. Meaning: you *can* install it to your hdrive
but that's not what it's intended for. Bec it's a live CD, that's one
less thing that can be corrupted in one's system. In spite of its
size, it's very feature-rich (KDE-based.) It has everything you spec'd
(not sure about NFS, but you could add it quite easily) and it has a
nice user community/forum. Try it, I doubt you'll be disappointed....

Non-Standard calendars in a consolidated plan

Gerard,
You're right. That was the first thing I looked at. The PM for the
original project I noticed the problem with had updated the standard calendar
so I asked him to re-name it. Unfortunately, it still had the same problem.
I think the issue is because the individual tasks have a calendar of None and
default to the project calendar. Therefore in the standalone, everything
works as expected, but in the consolidated one, the dates are adjusted.
Unless there is some setting I'm overlooking in the Project options.

The Published version of a project is the "working copy" of the project.
Your Project Server administrator can set up the capability for you to save
additional Versions. For example, in the sample database that ships with
Project Server 2003, there is an alternate Version type called Target, that
contains the original version of the project before work began on it. The
Published version of any project is the only Version you can actually
publish. Hope this helps.

How do I get filters to work in a custom macro in Project 2003?

Posted: 01 Sep 2005 11:49 AM PDT

The AutoFilter button will not work with VBA. You will need to create a
custom filter to show the data you want, then use THAT filter in your
VBA module.

Sorting A-Z at theTask level - Can you do it, how ??

Posted: 01 Sep 2005 11:10 AM PDT

Sailman,

If you go into Project => Sort and then select Sort By and then select
Name that should do what you are requesting. Be careful to note
whether the "Permanently Renumber Tasks" is checked in the lower left
hand corner of the dialog box.

Good luck!

Help define overflow tasks for me

Posted: 01 Sep 2005 08:16 AM PDT

Hi Pete,

The overflow tasks on the printed copy of the Calendar view are just tasks
that won't fit on the printed page. About 3-4 tasks per day is all that
will fit.

You may be able to squeeze a few more tasks on the printed page by modifying
margins or changing the formatting of the bars to lines to Format>Bar
Styles.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Filter with large number of criteria

Posted: 01 Sep 2005 07:42 AM PDT

If you can get the originator to send you the file, then you should be able
to get them to tag a few tasks.
If they won't do it, then tell them to send you the file, flag the tasks and
send it back.
Try harder.

Robert,
Well, no and yes. I've never tried to use a conditional in conjunction
with a link so I'm not real clear on how you are doing it but the bottom
line is that time is always a part of any date - and it has to be - even
in Excel. The difference you are experiencing is probably in the fact
that Project dates are normally expressed as working time wherein a
"day" starts at 8:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. In Excel days start at
12:00 midnight and run until 11:59 pm (i.e. 24 hour day).

Depending on how the conditional is structured the time part of the date
could be truncated (e.g. use the "Mid" function) or adjusted for
compatibility (i.e. translate 8:00 to 12:00).

Hope this helps.

This means you are saving the project as an .mpp file. You should not save
your enterprise projects as .mpp files under normal circumstances. Instead,
you should save them in the Project Server database. Why are you saving the
project as an .mpp file?

Help with filters

Use count to see if there are no successor tasks

if mytask.successortasks.count = 0 then
msgbox "No successors"
end if

Indexes are not 0 based so the first successor would be:

successors(1)

You would do something like this

dim sucParent as task
set sucParent = successors(1).Parent

Maximum number of tasks per project plan

According to the project help it is 1 million, though I'd think your
computer would start getting a bit slow unless you had a lot of memory.
Updating that number of tasks would be a busy job...

Added Labor Day holiday to calendar and work is still showing as s

Posted: 31 Aug 2005 07:47 AM PDT

Is recalculate set to "automatlc?" (Tools, Options, Calculation) Which
calendar did you post the holiday in and are you sure it's the one governing
to tasks in question? Are you sure work is still scheduled on the holiday
or is it just that the Gantt bars are crossing over it? ( If I have a task
that starts on Thursday and ends the following Tuesday, its bar will cross
the weekend even though there's no work taking place on Sat or Sun.) When
you entered task durations, did you use elapsed time - ie, the duration is
"2ed" instead of "2d"? Elapsed time ignores working time and non-working
time distinctions.

Limitations in MS Project 2003?

Posted: 31 Aug 2005 05:55 AM PDT

Another way to deal with the pred/successor limit is to use the "Unique ID
Predecessors" and "Unique ID Successors" fields.
The text should be shorter.

Who Does What report sort?

Posted: 30 Aug 2005 11:39 PM PDT

Hi George,

You're welcome for the reply. See if these additional thoughts help:

When you sort the Who Does What report by Start, it sorts by the *resource*
line - in other words when a resource begins their first task. (Look at the
line with the resources name and see the Start for the resource.) If you
look at the report sorted by date I agree, it would be nice to see the
assignments (indented underneath the resource's names) from earliest start
date to latest.

The workaround that I use because of the problem with the Who Does What
report is to create a new table (I call it the Who Does What table) based
upon the Usage Table applied to the Resource Sheet. I add Assignment Units,
Assignment Delay, Start, and Finish to the existing Usage table. I then
drag the split far right to hide the timescaled portion of the Resource
Usage view and print the view. It then shows data similar to the Who Does
What report but the assignments are sorted correctly.

As far as creating a non-project file with the data from the table, I export
(File> Save As) to Excel and base the export on the Who Does What table
adding the Assignment field to the export map. Once in Excel, the
spreadsheet requires some formatting but using the Assignment column to
filter for only assignments (field equals "Yes"), the formatting is quick.

The export could be automated using VBA, but my VBA skills are not quite
there yet ;-).

The other option (as noted in FAQ #16 at www.mvps.org/project) is to print
to a PDF file using an Adobe-like product.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

New hard drive; install

Posted: 30 Aug 2005 10:52 PM PDT

It depends on why your computer is down. If it's because the drive has
failed, there may be no way to recover your files, at least not without
calling upon a (usually expensive) data recovery service. If the drive is
ok and you're getting the new disk just to get more storage room, installing
the OS (assuming you have a CD for the proper version, not an upgrade
version) is not a difficult task. If fact, you might not even need the
installation CD as some drive manufacturers include utility software that
can copy everything over to the new drive and make it bootable. Afterwards
you can simply copy your data files over to the new disk. But all your
programs will probably have to be reinstalled from scratch, not merely
copied. Another alternative that I'd consider, but again it will only work
if your original drive is okay, is to add your new disk as a second drive
while leaving the first one in place. Assuming you have the drive bays to
house them, most motherboard's hard-drive controllers will accomodate up to
4 physical drives. Copy your data files over to the new drive but leave the
OS and your programs on the original as the boot drive. Just did that a few
weeks ago on my own PC in fact. Couldn't resist the bargain sale price Best
Buy had on 200 gig drives so I grabbed up one and added it to my computer in
addition to its existing 500 gig RAID array just to use for audio/video
project working storage.

Glad to hear the suggestion worked and thanks for the feedback.

In the past I have used the "Using Project xx" books from Que publishers and
found them to be pretty good. You may also want to check out Mike Glen's

Globally change task type

Hi Chris,

In addition to Jack and Brian's suggestions you can change the default to
all *new* tasks added to a project in Tools>Options, Schedule tab and change
the default task type. If you change the option before adding tasks to the
project file, all tasks will have the newly set default.

Hope this helps.

actual work showing up on dates in the future from the status date

Posted: 30 Aug 2005 11:48 AM PDT

As Jan said, Project doesn't know anything about the status date or current
date when updating work on a task. I create a project with a start date of
30 Aug. I enter a task with 5 days duration and assign Fred to it. Now
today, 6pm on 31 Aug, I enter that 24 hours of work has been done and set
the remaining work is 8 hours. Project happily enters work as being done
through tomorrow, 1 September, with 1 day remaining and it sets the task as
being 75% complete. It doesn't know that as of the time of my updates 01
Sept is still in the future - I told it 24 hours of work has been done
starting 30 Aug and that's what it recorded, it's up to me to insure I'm
giving it accurate information.
