Random Blank Spaces at Bottom of Word Doc

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis with a lot of footnoting, and annoyingly it frequently happens that two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the footnote section) on a given page. Fiddling around with the footnotes (increasing or decreasing their length), or with the body, sometimes helps, but this is not ideal--I shouldn't need to alter what I'm saying artificially in order to use much needed space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

Office Save as > Contacting the server for information

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Bad User Experience:

 

When I try to save a document, sometimes it takes a VERY long time to browse to a location.

 

File >> save as >> click the browse folder icon below.

 

 

Often I will get this message box for up to 10 – 15 seconds or longer!

 

I have no idea why it takes so long (whether it be OneDrive or sharepoint or something else) but it is frustrating that it takes so long even if I only want to save to my desktop.

 

 

Thanks,

Ryan

bug report: SynonymInfo causes Out Of Memory error with certain words

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Certain words -- "walking" and "onboard" are two -- cause a runtime error when used with Synonym info.

To reproduce, enter this into the Immediate Window of the Word VBA window:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walking").Word

You'll get error 5824, Insufficient memory or disk space. Most words work fine, e.g.:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walk").Word

No error there.

Doing a quick Google search nets that this bug has been around in Word Interop since at least 2002! Here's an SO post from 2012: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12314157/get-synonyminfo-throws-insufficient-memory-exception-for-some-words 

Watermark/template

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:05 AM PDT

My boss just installed word on the only computer that doesn't have internet connection. I've tried to place a picture in the background but it keeps moving around. Is there any way that I can create a watermark and then use it  as a template?

Is it possible to link caption numbering to 'Title'?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I have created a new multilevel list style for my thesis in Word, with 'Title' having the chapter number (e.g. Chapter 1), and 'Heading 1' being 1.1, 'Heading 2' being 1.1.1 etc.

I would like to number my tables and figures as 1.1, 1.2 and so on, but it only gives me the option to link to heading 1, which gives me table numbers such as 1.2.1.

I would like to avoid changing my multilevel list style if possible, so is there a way to link to the 'Title' heading, instead of 'Heading 1'?

Thanks!

Double Sided Printing - Word 2013

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 08:27 AM PDT

Unable to print double-sided at all from Word.

Double-sided works from "WordPad", Adobe, etc.  Printer is Epson NX625 with latest drivers.

Printer settings in Backstage and preferences are set for double-sided?

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back? It just won't let me delete the bland spake between the 2 paragraphs.

Then I will do things like press enter at the beginning of a paragraph to move it down one space, and it will only jump the paragraph an entire page instead of just doing what I am wanting .... which is simply moving it down one space.  It seems to have a mind all its own. So frustrating!

Delete printer list in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:58 AM PDT

Hi,

Whenever I try to take a printout in Word 2013, all my earlier printers show up in the drop-down menu (File>Print>Printer). I have already removed all the unused printers in Devices and Printers window but it still shows up in Word and other office applications.

How do I get rid of this as this is confusing? 

Thanks,

How can I "Shift" Word and Excel from my Old Laptop to my New Laptop?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:33 AM PDT

Hi,

I had bought an Office Package with Word and Excel 2010 along with my present laptop.

I am now buying a New Laptop, and want to know :

How can I "Shift" the Word and Excel from my Old Laptop to my New Laptop?

Look forward to answers.

Word 2013 suddenly started to browse backwards through my document, completely to the top, and hangs right now, i can only cancel it.

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:01 AM PDT

I even got something more strange today. Word started suddenly to browse through my document backwards, and reformat every number, bullet that it found... And Word is currently hanging, I can only cancel it through the task manager.

Why is this error occurring? Any ideas?

When I try to open/save a document from/to my OneDrive Account, Word 2013 always crashes and restarts

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:53 PM PDT

My OneDrive wasn't automatically syncing so I merged my PC's documents and OneDrive folders together as one. (note: this is irreversible). Using Word and OneDrive worked for weeks after doing this. But now all the sudden, whenever i try to open a file from OneDrive or save it to OneDrive, Word always crashes and restarts. I can open my OneDrive documents on other computers without Word 2013 crashing. And I can create new files and save them to non-OneDrive places on my computer.

I've tried OneDrive troubleshooter, checking my add-ons, disconnecting my Microsoft account and etc. But nothing has fixed the problem.

p. s. i also have Windows 8.1

Word 2013 will not open for me.

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 07:36 PM PDT

When I click the word icon, a pop-up comes up saying ''Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?'' and I click yes, but then another pop-up comes up saying ''We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be cleaned as a result. Would you like us to repair now?'' I've clicked repair but couldn't find much help. I've tried to run Word as the administrator but it still won't work.

I purchased Microsoft Office less than a year ago, and this has happened about 3-4 months ago. I'm back to college Monday so really need to sort this out asap.

Can't do envelopes and labels from Word 2000 on my new Epson WF-3620 printer

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:07 PM PDT

The printer works fine on all facets of work...except, it will NOT print a Standard Avery label sheet from the rear slot paper feeder.  I can use that rear feeder from notepad, from a regular document, and can print Avery disk labels/case insert labels from that feeder;  but when I set it up under Tools >Envelopes and Labels....regardless of the setting, it just ejects the sheet of labels and prints the info on a plain piece of paper from the cassette.  Epson has spent hours trying to figure it out, but has come to the conclusion that it is something within Word that is causing the problem.  What's wrong?

Tasks end-start relation

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 01:26 AM PDT

If you typed a date for this task (not recommended, you should always use
links where at all possible) then the default start time will be 8:15 which
is 15 minutes after the calendar start time. Therefore Project has to
schedule an extra 15 minutes on the next working day to fit 8 hours in.

Set the default start time to 8:00 or better yet use links!

Actual Work vs. Target/Baseline

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 10:37 AM PDT

Hi,

It MUST change because you want the rest of the plan to be based on reality
don't you?
I do.
IMHO Project primarily has to show me a correct future plan, what has
happened before is interesting but not critical.
For my own plans, I often simply delete complete tasks.

Original plan is saved as beseline, so no need to keep it alive as a base
for a (wrong) plan.
Do you have a finish variance? You should.
Can't judge about work because for that I need more data like task type.
There is a resoruce attached to teh task isn'there?

Duplicate Resource cannot be removed

Steve,
First, resources should be managed on the Resource Sheet - that's what
it is for. My guess is that there is some subtle difference between the
two resources, meaning that they are not duplicate in Project's "eye".

Another possibility. You didn't mention whether the file is linked to a
resource pool. If both the pool and the file have a resource named "joe"
then these resources are indeed separate and can, under some
circumstances, both be assigned to a task.

Second, given the above is not the case and you suspect corruption, go
to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption.

Hope this helps.

Hi glen,

Good idea, but I'm already using a deadline for a date further down the
project and thus this is not possible.

Task duration not netting when resources added.

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 01:05 PM PDT

Hi,

When you add resources to a task that has none attached, the task will react
as fixed duration. So even when you add both resources at once the duration
will not change.
To the contrary, when you allocate one resource, enter, then allocate a
second one and when the effort driven option is on (task information,
advanced) duration will adapt.

OR, when you insert the Work column into your task view, and enter the 16
hrs of work BEFORE allocating resoruces, then even if you allocate both at
once duration adapts.

Hi Sarabare,

Project users can share files with other project users -- doesn't matter if
it is Project Professional or Standard. The only reason to use Project

leveling ignores priority & when to manually level

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 11:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I think we agree on 99% of the issue.
I think however that having the simulation done by the software (especially
on multi-project) gives me time for other things: Project levels 100 times
faster than me by hand.

Chris,
Well, everything sounds pretty generic (i.e. default). My last question
about leveling applies to a feature of Project found under
Tools/Resource Leveling. When leveling is activated, it initiates an
algorithm that allows Project to automatically move tasks around (i.e.
shift, delay, split, etc.) to relieve resource conflicts
(overallocation). The default setting is "manual" (i.e. no leveling) but
you might want to check to see if the setting was changed to
"automatic". In the absence of a pure poltergeist (e.g. corruption),
leveling might be germane to the problem you are seeing.

The fact that the problem seemed to "fix itself" while you were out to
lunch (no pun intended), suggests that file corruption may be present.
In that case, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

Project to Access Dynamic Link

Posted: 06 Sep 2005 05:17 PM PDT

Rod â€" Thanks for the quick reply; appreciated it. Can I ask for more
information? In a test .mpp file, I Saved As ODBC to MS Access, closed
Project, opened the Access file and changed some information (i.e. file
properties in msp_project table, task names in msp_tasks file, etc.). Then I
closed Access and went back to the Project file and there are no changes
there. I also tried (within the Project file) to Open via ODBC, and was
expecting to get the dialogue box I got when opening exel files asking me if
I want to Open as new file, Append or Merge. It simply opens the Access file
as a new Project.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
