Microsoft Word - Cut and paste text from Word to Publisher

Microsoft Word - Cut and paste text from Word to Publisher


Cut and paste text from Word to Publisher

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 01:04 PM PDT

I can cut text from Word to Publisher and it works perfectly but when I try to create Multilevel text when I cut and paste it into Publisher then I lose the formatting for the most part.  Pretty much the text comes out fine but things like tabs, dot leaders alignments, etc. don't seem to transfer.  I have been able to transfer file as a picture but it just looks fuzzy and unprofessional.  Publisher does not have any multilevel functions that I can find so I'm out of options.  Can anyone help?

Far from intuitive (Word 2013)

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 01:03 PM PDT

I'm not one to go to forums to voice my opinion. I find that most people who complain on forums are just looking for something to complain about.

But when i'm trying to use a word processor to do something as simple as type a document with irregular spacing and i get forced into some autospacing that is not easily fixed that is complete and utter *swear word*. I use technology all the time and this is a far from easy issue to fix. No simple resolution even came from searching your own help menu or searching google.

You think your taking one step forward with office when all I've noticed is two steps back with every new addition. It's one thing to make options more readily available but keep your friggin grubby paws of my paper, off of what i am typing, stop trying to make live easier by literally ruining all motivation i had to write because the formating of my document is now trashed half way through.

And yes, I've looked in the "autoformatting" menu of word, the problem is with forcing me to double space after every time i hit enter when i think i clearly can hand hitting enter twice for the situations that require it. And yes, spacing is set to single spaced.  This is a direct issue with the system trying to "learn" my behavior and assuming just because i double space after some things it think's i want to double space after everything.

Dealing with Styles in Someone Else's Document?

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 12:47 PM PDT

As happens often, I recently received a document generated by someone outside my company, and I need to edit it.

Everything was going fine, until I cut a paragraph and moved it.  When I pasted it, the paragraph was in a style that appears completely random.  Font, size and line-spacing that appears nowhere else in the document.

It seems that when I cut and pasted the paragraph, Word thought it helpful to import a random style set from my computer, rather than use the one in the document.  When I opened Styles and style inspector, I could not find the original style and could not figure out an easy way to re-format the paragraph to what it was.  I manually reformatted the paragraph.  But then, every time I moved something else, or added a heading, Word again chose seemingly random styles.

Is there a way to address this?  I assume there must be, since almost any business will have to constantly deal with documents being sent from one company to another. 

1)  Can I keep the original formatting and edit the document without Word screwing it up for no reason?

2)  Can I easily apply my own preferred style set to the document?

3)  Is there an accepted way for dealing with this?

Thanks in advance.   You all are a great help.

Word-document size

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 11:32 AM PDT

On opening saved file-documents in Word, I find the pages automatically resize themselves to less than the zoom size I saved them as. Why does this occur?

Applying bullets to a single line bullets everything in the document.

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 11:25 AM PDT

Every time I try to add a single bullet to a line, Word 2010 ends up processing for a second and then applies a bullet to every paragraph (including header/footer and tables) in the document.  I can get my desired result by clicking undo once.  

This is a large document that was behaving properly until recently.  I'm not sure what I did to cause this and can't figure out how to undo it.

I have 'Normal' style used for the text I'm trying to manipulate.


Having Header issues with Word 2010

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 09:41 AM PDT

Whenever I double click on a header in my document I end up on the header several Sections from the one I need to edit. This is VERY frustrating, not to mention wasting time. Any ideas on what could be the cause?

How to stop Styles from changing downloaded documents

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 08:37 AM PDT

HI - I work extensively with Styles in Word to format a series of big documents. So I have done a lot of tweaking to get the right style/format. 

The problem is when I download a document and open it in Word it applies changes to my formatting. Now, I don't know specifically what style or template it is applying, so I want to return my Styles Library to default/empty. Does anyone know how to do that? I can rebuild my library of Styles, but can't correct what seems like arbitrary changes in my documents. If any one can help with this, I would be immensely grateful.

VENTING BELOW

As it stands right now, I would gladly abandon this ridiculous program and find something that behaves in some predictable fashion.

P.S. Why is there not any effective documentation on Word 2013?!

Setting up "a Form", "List", "Mail Merg" or other document type to deal with a need?

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 07:16 AM PDT

I am one member of a Jazz Band and at the request of the Leader, I have been trying to sort out a method where he could provide all the members of the Band with a "playlist" for each of the up and coming Gigs we are to perform at.

At present we have a repertoir of about 150 tunes and these are currently stored as a database with 6 headings :- "Id" , "Tune Name", "Key" "Misc", "Page" and "Arrangement". The "Id" field is a number and the rest are "text".

The Leader would like to be able would like to be able to individually select the Tunes from the Database list by using the "Id" number for each tune name to construct a new list, one tune at a time. That new list of about 10 tunes, making 10 rows each showing the complete data for each tune. I assume I would need to provide him with a Table of some form in which the first cell would call up the various Database "Id" numbers and the rest of the table row would be filled with the "Tune Name" etc.

I have tried several different methods but only managed to reproduce the whole Database List.

I would be most grateful for any help in this matter.

Cannot Open Word 2013 Program or Existing Documents in Windows 8.1

Posted: 02 Oct 2014 06:41 AM PDT

I have Office for Home & Student 2013 loaded on an HP Pavilion 27xi, running Windows 8.1.  

Since the upgrade to 8.1, I am unable to open the Word program or my documents in other way but safe mode, which of course, limits program features.  Excel, Power Point, and One Note open as they should.  

When I look at Properties for each program, the Target and Folder paths appear correct with each step the same until reaching the program name.  In addition, when I do click on the Word program icon or on an already existing document, I can hover over the program icon and see that either the program or document has opened...somewhere.  It appears in miniature.  I cannot click on the miniature program or existing document screen and bring it to full size for creating a new document or editing an old.  

I have already tried an uninstall of Office 2013, using Microsoft Fixit, and have then completed a fresh install.  The problem persists.  Can anyone help?  Many thanks in advance!

Problem with Word

Hi,

I am having problems with my microsoft word, my level of computer technology is very little, just the basics.  

My problem arises when I try and open Word, it is extremely slow, it might eventually open and when I try to save and print the document again it is very slow.  This also happens when I try to open and work on an existing word document.  

Could you please advise.

Word 2013 keeps crashing intermittently when working on a large document (50mb)

I have a user who is experiencing intermittent crashing of Word while working on a large file. It seems to happen only on his laptop and I can't seem to replicate the crash when I access his laptop via remote desktop. I have tried disabling graphic acceleration, updating display adapter drivers, removing add-ins, and applying hotfixs. Nothings seems to help so far.

This is the only error that I can gather from Event Viewer.

How to determine the dpi of a PDF document printed through Microsoft Save and send, and, how to open the PDF?

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 06:56 PM PDT

Hello Friends,

How would I determine the dpi of a PDF document that I printed using Microsoft Save and Send?  I need the document (book) printed in PDF at 300 dpi.  I understand that Microsoft PDF documents are at 150 dpi.

So far, my Adobe Reader XI will not print the PDF that I created using Microsoft Save and Send.  Any suggestions?

Thanks, in advance, for whatever help you offer.

Printing from Word 2010 to PDF (1) puts in unwanted blank pages that are in landscape orientation.

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 05:41 PM PDT

Hello "Helpers",

When I print with a Bullzip PDF printer from Word 2010 to PDF Microsoft apparently has a SuperScript that puts into the PDF unwanted blank pages that are in landscape orientation.  How can I prevent the extra blank pages, and, in general, how can I set something to have such Microsoft blank pages have a portrait orientation?  Right now, all I need to do (as soon as I can) is to eliminate the unwanted blank pages that I did not put in the document.

Whatever help you give, will be appreciated.

Sigh - Office 2000 DOES have Outlook. Did you upgrade only Outlook to the 2003 version? Also, when installing disparate Office suites, start from the oldest to the newest. Uninstall all of Office, install Outlook 2003, then Office 2007 Home and Student. In control panel->mail icon->profiles, ensure your default profile is set to reuse your current ..pst file.

You need to read the archives for how to back up your emails. As for
uninstalling all of Office 2000, that's great (I would just overwrite it)
but you need to know that Word and Excel 2007 are completely different from
the older versions. You're going to need time to learn how to use it.

Use the fileOpen method to access the tasks in another project and match

Bulk Upload of task work

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 02:18 AM PDT

Hi,

to get you started, to call Project from another application

Dim PjApp as MSproject.application
set Pjapp=createobject ("MSProject.application")

To open the .mpp file
pjapp.fileopen ... (see the help in the object browser)

To locate the task (I suppose you have the name)
Dim AJob as task
set ajob = activeproject.tasks("The task name")

If you have to locate the task based on an other field you can use the Find
method or loop through the tasks

For each ajob in activeproject.tasks
if not ajob is nothing then

......compare data to check whether it is this task
exit for

end if
nxt ajob

Finally, now comes the tricky part.
You will have to look up, and understand, the TimeScaleValues object and the
TimeScaledata method; you will see that it allows you to defien the monthly
values and you can then import them.

Hope this helps,

Does project has a word strikeout feature?

Posted: 21 Sep 2005 03:01 PM PDT

There is always the possibility of changing the color to Red for
deleted text. Or if it is a task name, you can always put a prefix on
the line like DELETED or OBSOLETE... I'm sure you can come up with a
bunch of options.

If you are trying to delete a task this way, you can always save using
the Baseline and then show both in the gantt chart. In this case the
deleted tasks will not have a "current" line. Deleting, of course will
also delete any history that may have already occurred on that task.

Good luck.
