| Why won't Microsoft Word's "Find" function work in some of my documents? Posted: 18 Sep 2014 03:23 PM PDT Sometimes Microsoft Word's "Find" doesn't work in my documents. I input a word that I can't see in the document, but Word won't find it. In fact, the "Find" function won't work for any word that I input. Am I doing something wrong? The odd thing is that the "Find" function works in some documents but not others. |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2014 02:11 PM PDT I am trying to keep a 6X10 table on one page, but I run into a very weird situation, following the selection of the 9 rows. When I go to Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks in order to select "Keep with next", all 5 check boxes, besides "Widow/Orphan control", are already checked by Word itself. I don't know what else to do except reducing the number of the cells. When I reach the 49th cell, everything returns to normal. All 5 check boxes are cleared. The result is that I can't select more than 49 cells. Can someone explain what's wrong here? Thanks My OS is XP pro with Office XP (Word 2002) |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2014 02:02 PM PDT I have microsoft office 7 with a license - I had it on my laptop and I had to do a recovery - when I put it back on the laptop, it now wants to configure everytime I use office 7. It never did that before, I put the disk back in and use the repair mode - still does that. Can anyone tell me why It does it on word, powerpoint and excel. |
| Defining a New Multi-Level List -- Saving it for new documents? Posted: 18 Sep 2014 01:16 PM PDT If I define a new multi-level list, is there a way to save it for quick use in later documents? Perhaps name it? This morning I went through a big hassle to define a new numbering list. When I started a new document, I want to use the same numbering scheme, but I don't see it in the numbering format dropdown box. |
| Mouse cursor jumps out of navigation pane when trying to 'find' Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:49 PM PDT Hi, I'm using Office 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop machine. When I hit Ctrl-F, the Navigation Pane opens on the left side of my Word document. The cursor is initially in the white textbox/search of the Navigation Pane, but it jumps back into the actual document itself if you do not start typing immediately. Additionally, even if you do manage to get something typed, it very quickly disappears and your cursor goes back to the document. It is extremely frustrating and seems to only be a problem in Word (no other applications). I just tried using the instance of Word 2010 on my machine, and it seems to be experiencing the same issue. I am using a USB mouse. I have seen other people with this problem online (e.g., http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/1/tech-helproom/4451435/word-2013--find-and-replace-broken/) but have not seen any solutions which apply to me (mainly, most solutions involved touchpads on laptops. I have checked for updates to Office, and restarted the program. The problem persists. Any advice as to how to keep this from happening would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:14 PM PDT Hello - This is an Excel Read Only macro I have. Is there something similar to word? I'd like to shift between Read Only & Read/Write more easily than opening & closing the document. Sub ReOpenReadOnly() Dim Fullname As String
With ActiveWorkbook 'New file? If .Path = "" Then Exit Sub 'Already readonly? 'Save the path\file name of the current file Fullname = .Fullname 'Close it, ignore changes .Close False End With 'ReOpen readonly Workbooks.Open Fullname, ReadOnly:=True End Sub |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2014 11:37 AM PDT We are attempting to create a master document from several word documents. We insert a section (next page) break at the end of the first document "try" to keep the page/section numbers as created for each document. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Our biggest problem is when adding or deleting sections within the created master document, it totally destroys all formatting, page/section numbering and we have to either start all over or go back and modify each page/section. We are creating these documents for very large project bid specifications and it is typical to have to add/delete sections, pages, from a contract book. |
| Recent folders not pointing to right locations Posted: 18 Sep 2014 08:52 AM PDT Clicking on any link in Recent folders during a save in Word 2013 just takes me back to the last save location and not the location I clicked on. I tried quick repair, online repair and then uninstall and reinstall (in that order) but the problem persists. I also checked the "number of unpinned recent folders parameter" in Options/Advanced and that is set to 5. At a loss on how to fix this problem -- any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |
| Mail Merge not working - to word, from excel Posted: 18 Sep 2014 08:46 AM PDT I have never used mail merge before. I am using a document that I did not make. It supposedly was working last year. After I pressed "Update Labels", all of the labels looked like this. Why does it insert the formatting, and not the actual names/etc. ? How can I make this work correctly?  |
| Searching for the Styles Formatting using shortcut Posted: 18 Sep 2014 07:54 AM PDT Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to look for a specific formatting style without going through normal pathway:
My aim is to avoid multiple mouse clicks and scrolls. In this respect, VBL macro or shortcut combination will make my life as editor-beginner much easier. Thank you all in advance, Best regards, Greg |

| Legal Documents: Integrating Numbered Headings and Styles Posted: 18 Sep 2014 06:55 AM PDT This may sound complicated, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. I want to prepare documents that have auto-numbered section headings, with different levels, and then body text for the paragraphs. For example. I. MAIN HEADING A. First Sub-Heading.
This is the text paragraph. B. Second Sub-Heading This is the next paragraph. II. SECOND MAIN HEADING A. First Sub-Heading. Etc. I can kind of figure out how to modify a number style that I want. But when I hit enter after entering the heading text, I want to get the body text style (not the next number). And then, when I finish with the body text for that section, I want to easily be able to get back to the next heading level. Can someone point me in the right direction? I bought a copy of Word 2013 Bible just to figure this out, but I don't see it addressed at all. |
| Remove default templates and disable web templates in office 365 Posted: 18 Sep 2014 04:08 AM PDT Hi I would like to know to thingsin Word, office 365 1. How do I remove the default templates and tabs I see in the "old" dialog File/new? I just want to see my own cusotm templates and my shared templates 2. I would like to manage to show the User templates first on the start screen and disable the ms webtemplates, is that possible? When you start Word and on backstage/new you see microsoft templates from the web. Can I disable this? I know that I can ad a registry key to show my personaltemplates tab first on the "Welcome screen" BUT, when you also have shared templates and sharepointsites connected to office the personal tab renams to custom and just shows a bunch of folders. |
| User accounts & Microsoft Word Posted: 18 Sep 2014 01:49 AM PDT I have recently created a User account for the kids in windows 8.1, when they log into their account they are unable to access Microsoft word 2013. How do I fix this??? |
| Format Text Effect pane Word 2013 Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:08 AM PDT I am currently creating some notes for my blind students describing the different attributes and options in the Format Text Effects pane in Word 2013. I am testing each of the options so that I can write detailed descriptions. When trying to use the Soft Edges attribute both the Presets and Size options are greyed out. No matter what I select i.e. text, image,shape, WordArt etc will make thes eoptions available. What is this option used for in regards to text? I can apply Soft Edges from either the Drawing Tools, the SmartArt Tools or the Picture Tools. I have searched everywhere but can't find a solution to this question. I know that in Word 2010 Soft Edges was available in the Font Texrt Effects diaLog but could only be applied to images, shapes, SmartArt and WordArt. |

| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:11 PM PDT We have Word 97 files that I want to open in Word 2003. I followed the directions to modify the registry and they gave registry values for FilesBeforeVersion. I put in the number given for Word 97 but Word 2003 kept giving the error message that it couldn't open the file. I kept trying values for older and older versions but the only value that would work was 0. The article said it's better to not use 0 since the older versions have security risks. Help appreciated. |
| Auto Populate Letterhead addresses Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:01 PM PDT I am trying to create a standard template for business forms (letterhead, memo, fax, transmittal etc) that prompts you to select an office address in a list and then adds it to the form. We have 23 offices and we want to standardize the forms to not incluse every address (getting long). But rather select an address pre populated and then have it insert it. I know ther has to be a way to do this. but I am struggling. |
| I have office 365 university 4 year subscription but the download is for home premium retail Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:51 PM PDT Ok so I was doing an assignment for class and it told me to apply a theme that wasn't showing up for me. I contacted my instructor who basically said I had to have Word 2013 to do the assignment, she was no help at all. So I'm wondering if the discrepancy is due to the download being the home premium retail and not the actual university? I only have 9 themes on my just now freshly re-installed office 365. At school there are quite a few more themes in Word and they're using 365 university. |
| Word 2013 - Create path on separate line from filename in footer Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:03 PM PDT We work on a corporate network with lots of departments, within various groups, with lots of locations. The hierarchy to finally get to the directory for my department is extensive, and if the file name is very long, the text encroaches into the area for page numbers. In a footer in Excel, I can simply put &[Path] on one line with &[File] on the line below it and "Voila!", the path is on the top line and the file name is on the bottom line. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Word... rather it's filename alone or path and filename all on one line. Can anybody help create a macro or ??? to show only the path? TIA for your help!
