Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 - Open Document and Resume at Last Known Location

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 - Open Document and Resume at Last Known Location

MS Word 2013 - Open Document and Resume at Last Known Location

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 02:39 PM PDT

- Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

- Office 365 with Word 2013 (64 bit) installed on local desktop computer

Until recently, when I opened a prior document, there would be a small bubble or prompt in the bottom right hand corner of the screen allowing me to resume at my last known location in the document. I found this feature very helpful.

Now, when I open my large document, there is no prompt or bubble allowing me to easily resume where I left off in the document.

How can I turn this helpful feature back on again? And, if someone knows how it was turned off, I'd like to know that, too, so that I can avoid turning it off in the future.

Changing Reviewer name on Word for iPad

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 01:49 PM PDT

How can I change *my* reviewer name (e.g. when I add a new note under "REVIEW") without having to log to my Microsoft online account and changing my display name there? It seems such a hassle to have to do that. The reason I need to change the name is because I am submitting an anonymous review on some papers. Other papers I do not need to be anonymous and can use my full name. Is there *any* way I can do this on the iPad without having to log in to the Microsoft account every time? Thanks for your help.

Mail Merge Spacing issue in conditional bookmark

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 12:53 PM PDT

s there a way to suppress spacing between two conditional bookmarks, in case the condition does not satisfy the given logic?

 

Eg:  Logic is "Eligible" is yes then print "Description" else blank, so issue is if "Eligible" is no then and it leaves the blank space which needs to be removed.

So how can we create condition which doesn't leave blank spaces if condition is not applicable? 

 

I am using MS word 2010

Word2013 wont open after update

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 12:43 PM PDT

I recently allowed automatic updates on my laptop (Office 2013 on Windows 8.1) and afterwards, when clicking on Word, I received a pop up saying that the shortcut "word.exe" would no longer work because it had moved/changed (same for powerpoint and excel). Right-clicking and opening the containing folder (office 2013) only had the shortcuts that no longer worked.

When using Explore, I could only find a new folder "Office 15" but nothing works from there.

Any suggestions to get my Word back (uninstall office 15 or revert back to 13???)? I'm a writer/journalist and need it for work.

Thanks!!!

Numbering restarts not working

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

I have numbered titles and numbered lists within. I modified the inner list indents by applying a new style with a custom indent of "0-left".

Word is not restarting the list after every main "Title 1", so I tried resetting numbering from context menu.

And then **** starts. It restarts numbering, but also resets my custom indent only that paragraph!

- Reapplying my custom style do not fix it, I don't know why.

- If I change it to normal and apply it again, OR if I use copy/paste format, it "works", but numbering is set to continue and I have to reset it again and indenting is changed again... chicken or egg.

So I get something like this

I.         Introduccion

    1 Par one, ok

    2 Par 2, Ok

    3 Par 3, Ok     

II.       Purpose

      1 Problem here with "Default" indent

    2 Par ok

    3 Par ok

Is a bad bug. I am very disappointed. Every day working with Office 2013 I spend more and more time trying to work than actually working. And when you crash into something like this you feel very frustrated. I should never moved out of Office 2010.

I would report it as a bug. Is there a place to do so?

Thanks for any suggestion,

AutoComplete Date dodgy in Word 2007

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 11:15 AM PDT

Sometimes in the same document Word 2007 will complete a date -- the day of the week completes, and then a comma and a month completes the entire date to the year.  And sometimes I have tried to type in a date not the day I am typing and it didn't work, so I am careful about that.

I cannot for the life of me find the autocomplete format options.  I have drilled down to auto correct options where the trail grew cold.  I know they must be somewhere, as there are so many ways to format date.  Where are they?  And why do you think the feature is intermittent within the same document?  It utilizes a saved "template" [ie a docx not a dotx file] which has always worked with autocomplete date. 

How do I wrap text around a clip art picture using Word Office?

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 10:10 AM PDT

I just recently purchased Office 365. I have been using Word a lot for school and now for my computer class I have to write a paragraph, insert clip art and wrap the text around the picture. I have checked YouTube videos on how to to do this, but I don't see the wrap text option when I click on the image, click on format under picture tools as in the video tutorial. I see the option to change the picture size and a couple other options but the wrap text option isn't there so it seems. The YouTube video tutorial was for Word 2007, Word office is a little bit different. Where is the wrap text option in Word Office? Thanks for your response.

DDE Issue with Mail Merge Using Word & Excel 2013

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 08:57 AM PDT

Once I upgraded to 2013 I am unable to complete a mail merge. I get an error message that the DDE Link failed and then a box comes up with an option to use OLDB. I select show all options and then select Microsoft Excel using DDE but then the fields don't come over properly & it will only show 6 columns of fields so if I have more than that I'm out of luck. If I get on a colleague's computer I can complete the merge fine (they're on 2010) but this isn't an option for me because I use mail merge all the time. I read another thread that suggested un-checking the box under Excel options that says "Ignore Other Applications that require DDE" but that box was already unchecked.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, Yvette

Numeric Picture Switch (\#) Issue

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 08:53 AM PDT

Hi,

I am trying to add four numeric picture switches (\#) to mail merge fields in Word. Specifically I need to remove the decimal places. The code I am using is "{MERGEFIELD M_1109 \# $,0}" When I add the switch to the end of two mergefields all works as needed. When I add the switch to three mergefields they all break with an error saying the data source could not be found. (The two that work are interchangeable between the three.) And the fourth mergefield never works with the switch.

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

Office Help: the filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 06:53 AM PDT

I just reformatted my HD and reinstalled Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 but have the same problem I had before.  When I use one of the help screens in any Office 2013 program and click on a video Notepad opens and I get the message: "the filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

Why are my Word documents opening blank?

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 06:43 AM PDT

Documents frequently open blank in Word 2007, even though they contain content.  To be sure they have content, I can right-click, and convert/view as PDF and see the content.  It may be that these documents are from "untrusted" sources, even though I am the author of most.

In the trust center, I have configured the places I store documents to be trusted locations.  However even if I place one of these documents into a trusted location, it still comes up blank.  That makes me think that the document itself is considered untrusted.

I have found that for some of these documents, opening them from within Word may cause the content to appear, while double-clicking the same document from the OS results in Word treating it as a blank document.

What is maddening is that the blank documents give no indication of why they're blank and no option to view the content.  It is as if Word does not know how to read Word documents.

I've run the online troubleshooter/inspector/fixer but it was no help.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Change Spelling Errors into Bold Font Automatically

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 05:46 AM PDT

I have some documents with spelling errors.  Word automatically places a jagged underline under each of the misspellings.  I manually locate each of these errors and change the font of the bad word to Bold.  

This manual process is error-prone.  Is there any way, using a macro, to automate the detection and font change??

If it matters, I am using Word 2007 under Windows 7.

Custom styles in multiple documents

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 04:52 AM PDT

I am in the process of writing a large document and want to have separate chapters in separate documents that are all formatted the same. On top of this I already have some chapters from a previous document that I want to copy and paste in to their own chapter documents, these also need to be changed to conform with the new formatting.

I am having a nightmare trying to get all of the formatting the same across documents, trying to save style sets and themes etc. to no real avail as the styles refuse to update when I try and load a theme or style set in a different document.

So, can someone step me through, from scratch, how to get all of my custom styles, numbering and all in to every document I want.

As an example; The image below shows a custom style selection

How do I make it so this style appears for Heading 1 in every document I wish.

Many Thanks

Word 2003, annoying (Latin) next to style types

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 04:27 AM PDT

Yesterday windows 7 was loaded on my work PC with Word 2003.  I am finding it highly annoying that at the top of the page, to the L of the font type (style) it lists the style name as '(Latin) Arial' and all the style formats have '(Latin)' before them.   Is there anything I can do to get rid of that?

I guess it is something to do with languages, pointing out that it is Latin as opposed to Asian for example?

Many thanks

word 2013 AUTO filling from a dropdown list

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 02:48 AM PDT

Hi,

Problem - Word 2013 I've added a dropdown list from the Developer tab (lets say it has the number 1 - 6 in it). I would like my selection of '3' to appear in a sentence later in the document.

I have seen repsonses on the internet and in the MS community to press Ctrl 9 and add something inside the brackets, including question of legacy for the drop down, also VB coding.....I am confused.

HELP - I would like an easy to follow answer please. What do I do next? I have my dropdown list created from the developer tap with numbers 1-6. My sentence might state - I have '3' cats. How do I get the '3' to auto fill in my sentence from the Dropdown list? Other questions that might help to solve it. My document is saved as a docx.

Should my document be created in 'Dotm' or is ",docx" ok to use.?... maybe I need to restrict editing in the document?

Many thanks

Word 2010 cannot open file on Terminal Server Session

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 11:43 PM PDT

We have a domain of 100+ W7 clients and 2x 2012 R2 servers, one is a terminal server.

This problem occurs for one user only (afaik).

The user can open her files on any client, but opening on the TS fails with this:

Microsoft Word
Word experienced an error trying to open the file.
Try these suggestions.
* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
* Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter.
 (P:\Fried Rice.docx)
P1: 200494
P2: 14.0.7015.1000
P3: 5aey
P4: 0x80070002

She can create new Word files and save them in the same folder without problem, and reopen them.

But the problem persists for existing files. The file protection looks OK.

As Administrator, I can open her files using the Terminal Server.

I gave her (very!) temporary admin status but this made no difference.

The above is pasted from the event log, and a similar message appears in her session.

Other Office programs show similar symptoms, but non-office files open OK (images etc)

I discovered that her profile was damaged a few weeks ago, and deleted it so that a new one was created. We have folder redirection and roaming profiles. Hers is similar to all the others (or should be!)

Suggestions please!

Saving a docx file as a PDF came out almost twice as large

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 09:00 PM PDT

Saving a docx file as a PDF came out almost twice as large.  Why is that?  Usually I find PDFs to be smaller.

I was posting a link to the document from our website.  I didn't want to use a docx file because not everyone would be able to read it.

Is there another options?

Chart changes data when double-clicked, resized, or moved

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 08:28 PM PDT

Hello.
We have been having problems with word 2010 charts.
I have this chart; when I double-click it, or resize it, or move it, the chart displays different data.
So, I now have a completely different graph from the original.

That includes the data, axes labels, and values.
I also can't retrieve the original data from the original graph.


For example, I have a scatter chart with data of voltage vs. temperature.
After double-clicking the chart, it will become a chart of current vs. voltage.

What went wrong?

Is there a way to fix it?

Office 2013 - Word Macro Error Message

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 03:58 PM PDT

I am receiving a very repetitive error message in MS Word that states that the function I am running contains macros and that the Administrator at the time of install chose not to install support for macros.  The help associated with this error message directs you to Options / Trust Center.  I have set the Macro option to disable all macros without notification.  This has not solved the problem and in the course of using the document, the error message pops up repetitively.

I have tried to run a Repair / Quick Repair but the process failed.     Additionally, my program states that I have updates pending but the update fails to launch and I receive error message 30088-26.

Please advise how to address these error messages.

Screen is getting scrambled in word documents!

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 02:36 PM PDT

Hi! So you can see the issue below is that my document is getting completely scrambled when using word. It usually fixes itself when I change my view but sometimes it does not. Anything in yellow is edited by me - the yellow boxes are not part of the problem. 

Anyone have any idea why this happens?  I have a newer / fast computer that should work fine with this. 

This happens in Microsoft Word 2013. 

This issue is confined to Microsoft Office Word only

I get no error messages, just the scrambled screen like is shown below. 

I did not make any changes to my computer prior to this happening.

Word 2013 Crashing

Once it is frozen all function is lost, I cannot even use Alt+F4 to close or the exit button. I must use Task Manager to close the program. At no time does Word try to troubleshoot itself or make an alert that it is not operating correctly. All other programs seem to run fine on my computer. Does anybody know why this would happen, and what I can do to resolve it?

Mail Merge {ASK} fields and {FILLIN} fields prompts for input for every recipient in the recipient list

Posted: 15 Sep 2014 11:23 AM PDT

I have been using Mail Merge with letters and envelopes successfully with a Fill-In rule, it works well, but i am having a problem with it when using a Fill-In prompt for using Mail Merge to email from within Word 2010 or 2013. When i select the option to Finish and Merge with the "Send Email Message" Option I am getting prompted for every recipient in from my "Recipient List", the list from an Excel spreadsheet. I found an old reference to this problem on the web, (http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/fields.htm) and it mentions a couple of knowledge base articles ( Q238978 and Q164547) but i can't find these articles.

Has anyone seen this prompting behavior for [every recipient] with mail merge when sending an email message from within Word?

Thanks

British/UK spellchecker for Outlook Express or a Fix?

Posted: 06 Jun 2007 11:19 AM PDT

Hi Happy,

I think I would try the 3rd party tool first, rather than muddy up the configuration with multiple versions of Office if to have an
Outlook Express Speller is your only need. If you're not satisfied with its performance you can then go to the custom installation
of Office proofing tools.

Office 97 and Office 2000 used completely different setup programs and largely different proofing tools. Either should work, but
each can have its own issues in an Office multi version environment.
When Office installs 'just' one feature set it usally means its installing the core files for that Office version (quite a few
normally) and what it's doing is simply leaving out the app specific ones (i.e. you won't be able to run Word it self from that
version), so it's a bit 'larger' than just the proofing tools.

Neither Office 97 or Office 2000 were, except for some security updates, included in MS Update for the most part so from that
standpoint you'd be okay.

================
<<"happy37" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
Hi Bob

Quote: -

"If you install Office 2003, even in a partial or custom installation, for
just the proofing tools for example, you will generally be asked to download
the updates as the updates are provided at the CD product level, not based on
installed features. If you're using MS Update you can change the settings to
ask you before installing and then just say no/don't ask about this update
again."

Many thanks for replying to my query - your answer as I have quoted above
has totally answered my query, as this was exactly what I wanted to know.

I am going to go ahead and use my previous copy of Office 2000 Premium and
install only the Proofing Tools from that CD. I will change the settings on
Windows Update to ask me before installing any updates from Office 2000 and
then just say no/don't ask about this update again.

Having said that, could I not just use the spellchecker from Office 97

CRM off site

if your rep uses a vpn into your company, i think this should work...else it
could work as long as your rep is able to identify him as a valid domain
user. BUT: then you're communicating through unsecure media, i.e. internet.
for it security reasons not a very good decision. *g*
so check out your vpn-capabilites

Country list

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 10:05 AM PDT

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. No, unfortunately we don't have programming staff
on-site. Are you suggesting that I create a new (Pick-list) field
containing all the countries and then write some code which will map
all the values from the existing Address1_country field to the newly
created field? Is this the way others have done it ? You say it is
'pretty easy' to write the code. If you can point me in the right
direction maybe I could do it (as an ex-programmer ;-)

File Upload Failure

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 05:55 AM PDT

there is a procedure to allow you to increase the upload limit. The regostry
entry required is below but before you increase it have a think about it. Do
you really want to give your users the ability to fill up your database and
hard disks with large attachments? - anyway just a thought

You can increase this default by modifying the registry key
maxuploadfilesize located in the registry by navigating to
HKEY_Local_Machine | Software | Microsoft | MSCRM.

Crystal Reports 9.2.3 and CRM

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 02:34 AM PDT

That's exactely what I ran into!!!

Installed 9.2.2 then Service Pack to 9.2.3 then installed the Enhancement CD
but then couldn't start Crystal again :-(

Then I uninstalled everything, installed 9.2.2 again then Enhancement CD..so
far everything's fine...

Now I don't know if I can safely upgrade to 9.2.3 using the Service Pack or
if it's better sticking to 9.2.2...
So you said at the end you managed to have 9.2.3 running?

Thanks
Eric

Publishing and subsequent iisresets changed database records...

Posted: 27 Apr 2005 09:14 PM PDT

Paul,

The only way that users can "lose" records as you've described is if
either (a) somebody reassigned them, or (b) a change to a role (any
role) was made.

All access to all records (thankfully, this will go away in CRM v2.0)
is done using the securitydescriptor field. When you change a role,
CRM, behind the scenes, in a process that can take hours, and cause
performance problems, updates all security descriptors in any affected
tables.

These secruity descriptors determine who can see each record. And
unfortunately there is no way to manually tell if these descriptors are
correct. MS Support has a tool that they can run to re-set/re-create
all secruity descriptors. So if this continues to be a problem for no
apparent reason, I'd log a call.

HTH,

Dave

outlook w/crm add-in vs web-client

Posted: 27 Apr 2005 05:42 PM PDT

Joe,
I didn't see any reply to your point 2 among the excellent insights the
others provided. Perhaps I'm not understanding your issue, but CRM
will NOT automatically bring in all of your emails into CRM. (There is
a setting on install you can select that can make this happen, but
regular users should never install SFO this way. It is just for
special un-monitored email addresses such as
"com".).

With or without the email tag, you should still be able to receive your
regular listserve emails and have them populate whatever folder you
desire within outlook. CRM only automtically picks up emails with that
tag that are replies from your customers to an email you sent out via
CRM.

HTH,

Dave

'Cannot generate SSPI context' with outlook synch

Posted: 27 Apr 2005 05:36 PM PDT

I think I figured it out - the msde connection from my desktop to the crm
server was down - restarting the service and my connection was re-established
and the synchronization seems to be working.

Still having problems with web access.

Hi,

It sounds like you have a network / DNS problem more than a CRM
problem. try to ping CRM and see if it pings the IP of the server. Make
sure the server is using a static IP, and it is the same as the CRM
entry in the DNS server. Run ipconfig /flushdns to flush the local DNS
cache. if there are no other web sites on the server, try to add
another host header entry with a blank host header and browse to the
server name instead of http://crm to see if you do get to crm.
add http://crm to the list of sites to be bypassed by your proxy server
in IE connection settings. Hopefully one of these solves your problem
or points you in the right direction.

Urgent - CRM down due to customization

>can access CRM except for the Opportunity form windows (details from

Can you view the blank form (i.e. when creating a new opportunity?)
If so, perhaps the relationship between the problem opportunities and
another entity (or the related entity itself) are broken.
