Word found unreadable content

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 01:01 PM PDT

Hi, I use Microsoft office 2007. I started some work and have no back up and need this back urgently, every time I try to open the document a message saying 'unreadable content found'. I have tried everything, went through dozens of forums to try different methods to get my work back but none have worked so i was hoping that someone could recover this work for me. 

I have added an open access web link for this and hope that someone could help me with my issue.

Mail Merge Issue Sharing Excel As Data Source Office 2013

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 12:08 PM PDT

We have Excel files that are generated via the following commands on a schedule:

The command that creates the .xls files is:

        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, dbfFiles(counter), _

                        baseFilepath & dbfFiles(counter) & fileExtension, True

The command that creates the .xlsx files is:

        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , dbfFiles(counter), _

                        baseFilepath & dbfFiles(counter) & fileExtension, True

　

Counter is an array that contains the names of the files, fileExtension is set to .xls or .xlsx.

These .xlsx files are placed on a shared drive.

Users have trouble with mail merges in Word 2013 when linked to .xlsx and .docx files. If any user is in the file, or using a mail merge, no one else can access the Excel file for merging.  If one user is already in the .xlsx file and a second tries to come in and use the file simultaneously, an error is displayed.

Error has occurred: Exernal table is not in the expected format.

Items already verified:

1. The datasource .xlsx file is accessilble by two people as a shared document.

2. Have tried opening the excel document prior to merging.  Same error.

3. Permissions on the share drive are the good.  Same permissions worked with Office 2010.

My Microsoft programs disappeared.

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 12:07 PM PDT

Yesterday everything was working fine. However when I loaded my computer today I couldn't get any of my microsoft programs to work. That includes word excel and power point. Every time I clicked on a document nothing would happen not even the loading circle next to the mouse. I went into programs and tried to repair, I tried to run it through a safe program to see if it was a virus but it wouldn't work.

The curious part it that it gives me the regular options with a program that is installed such as run, fix, or uninstall. But when I go to the program folders and open them up there is nothing there, yet my computer acts like I can do something with those programs.

I'm confused because I haven't gotten any notifications concerning a virus or malfunctioning software. Everything is up to date and I've had the software for a were months ( office 2013 student). I have not recently downloaded anything concerning microsoft in the past month or so.

I also searched for hidden programs in case it had been put somewhere else but that didn't work. All my files and data are still on there and I can out them on a thumb drive and open them on another computer it's just the Microsoft program that is not working. I can open pdfs and other programs but nothing to do with Microsoft.

How do you eliminate the citations quotes references from the word count?

Misbehaviour of Word when using background colors and then saving as pdf. How can I avoid this?

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I want to export an word document to pdf by Save As function.

The word document has a two colored background:

But the exported pdf has a different color pattern:

Does anybody know how I can avoid this and export the correct color pattern to pdf?

Using a PDF Printer instead of "save as" shows the same problem.

Why does last item in numbered list get pushed to the right?

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I have a minor annoyance here. When I try to get every item in a numbered list onto one page, often I see what can be seen here: http://paulrittman.com/sg.docx

The last item is pushed to the right. The only factors I can think that might affect this would be that I have modified the margins and pushed the numbered list a bit to the left (by selecting the numbers and moving them with my cursor), farther than they originally were.

Anything I can do to get that last item aligned with the rest?

Unable to access the Word.Application.Documents collection if the Word.Application ActiveX is created by JavaScript ou VBScript in Internet Explorer 8

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:10 AM PDT

Hello,
I want to access to the Documents collection of the Word.Application. To do this, I have this simple code which is working if executed in a .vbs file :

On Error Resume Next
Dim wdApp
Set wdApp = getObject(,"Word.Application")
if err.number <> 0 then
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End if
MsgBox "# of open docs: " + wdApp.Documents.Count

In my case, if I have 3 documents that I previously opened. The msgbox then says 3 even if there is 3 different instances (ie 3 tiles in the Windows task bar)
If I insert this script in a VBScript tag 

<script type="text/VBscript" src="ressources\Script\TableDesMatieres.js">
...
</script> 

and there are 3 existing instances (as previous) the Word.Application instance DOESN'T "get" the existing instance and create a new one. More over, If I start a macro in which I ask to give me the number of documents, I receive "0", just like the recently created object was isolated form the other instances so it looks only in its sandbox.

Is there something I'm missing in the IE parameters or the way I code is in error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!

Note: I also posted this message in the IE8 Community as the problem is for both products.

Microsoft Word 2003 as a 'System File'

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:07 AM PDT

Hello,

I use Microsoft Word 2003 

Recently I went to move a Word document file from one folder to another and received a pop-up stating, "Are you sure you want to move this system file? If you move this file, Windows or another program may no longer work correctly"

I do not remember seeing this before whenever I did a cut and past to move a file.  

At this point I closed all opened Word documents opened a blank Word doc and performed a 'detect and repair'. It continues to open the same pop-up message. Nothing changed.

Should Word be a system file? What could be the issue? 

Thanks 

Shawn 

PS: I just went to open an existing word file and it opened a pop-up asking if I wanted to allow a

winword.exe - I said no for now.

Update for Microsoft Office Starter 2010 popup occurring after booting compter

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 09:50 AM PDT

I am receiving this exact popup every time I boot up my computer.  It's been happening now for about four months, maybe longer.

It appears in a "Click to Run" box.  It states, quote, "An update for Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - English is now available online.

Please remain connected to the internet for the duration of the update.

Do you wish to start downloading the update now?"  You can click "OK" or "Cancel."

I want to know if this is a legitimate update to Microsoft Office Starter 2010 or a potential virus.  I have never received an update in the form

of a popup b/4 and am scared to click "OK."

Microsoft has not been helpful regarding this at all.  If anybody knows or has downloaded this, please let me know.

Thanks!

One my document(Word) was damaged

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 09:28 AM PDT

Hi,

Got a big problem. One my document(Word) was damaged, doesn't open... - and I need to print it. 

I've tried and checked everything that thing suggests, and still no avail! 

I can't simply write it out again either since it has to be in for Friday and this was at least 23 pages long! 

Does anyone know of another way of recovering the file? It opened fine the day before Yesterday without any problems. I've tried the file on three machines now and all say the same message...

Labels - how can I create labels for offices as opposed to people?

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 08:08 AM PDT

I'm new to using the label feature in MS Word and have been able to make label sheets for each user in my list.

My question is, how can I make labels specifically for the unique offices in the list, and not display the person's name?


The spreadsheet I'm using for the mail merge contains over a thousand peoples names, covering roughly 100 offices.

The fields include: First name, last name, office name, address 1, city, state, zip


For example, I want a unique list of offices such as this:

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

New York, NY 10605


I don't want to display the persons name, or have duplicate offices in the list, like this:

Geoff Garcia

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

White Plains, NY 10605


Mickey Mouse

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

White Plains, NY 10605

Word 2013 not saving default font preferences

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 07:24 AM PDT

I have Word 2013 as part of Office 365 through work. When I try to change my default font to Times New Roman it's fine as long as Word is open but if I close Word and open it again it changes back. I've tried changing the style and I am clicking the use as default button but it still doesn't stick. I even tried creating my own style but it disappears once I close and reopen. Help please.

Problems with keyboards in MS Word 2013

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 05:07 AM PDT

I suspect I just don't have the terminology right for a search. I'm stumped.

I edit Word documents created in many different versions of Word and with many different default languages. The specific problem (which I hope has an answer that can be generalized to any such issue) is that in a document using a Hungarian language pack, the characters all seem to be on the same keys as in English but the open quote mark appears at the bottom of the line rather than at the top. Strangely enough, the document I receive is correct, but any edits I try to make are with the quote mark on the baseline. I assume the writer is using the English language pack and Word is doing things correctly when the document is created. I don't think Word would replace the characters in the original document.

I've checked out Win 8's keyboard functions; I'm using the US English keyboard. Neither can I find anything in Word's limitless options that makes a difference.

A few other documents do have the characters I need in the "wrong" place for an American typist, so if the cure for the first problem solves the more general problem, that's great.

Thanks for any tips.

Word page width changed from template

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 03:11 AM PDT

I started a document in a client's template, and then had to copy it over to a new, different template. The problem is that half way through the document, the page size changed, and every other page shifted to half outside of the 'page' area (i.e. off the white page border). I have tried manually adjusting the text markers on the page ruler, but this then shifts the text on the adjacent page and I cannot get all the text to align correctly as normal? The 'off' pages have become very narrow also.

I would like to set the alignment to be consistent across all pages, but do have some pages as portrait and some as landscape. 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! 

table margin resetting when certain items pasted into cell

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 02:12 AM PDT

Hi

I have a table set up with no auto fit and cell margin left of 0.5cm.  All cells are set to be the same as the table properties.

When an excel chart is pasted into a cell it seems to wipe the cell padding for the whole table.  The same occurs when an excel table is pasted as a bitmap but not other formats.

What is going on and how do I stop this behaviour - the document is a standard template for use by many and I don't want the page to look different?  This has been driving me crazy so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Multi Level Lists in Word 2010 and 2013. My sanity is hanging by a thread here.

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 01:31 AM PDT

Hello Microsoft Community!  

OK, this is something I have been struggling with for a couple of weeks and I'm at the stage where I don't know how to proceed.  0_0    I feel like I am losing my mind.   I don't know if I'm missing something (BIG) or I am just slow, but I just can't get multi level list numbering to work for me, the way in which I want it to.  I've read loads of articles and watched YouTube videos and a few days ago I felt like I  had finally "got it"... it was short lived.  

 I work in a law firm and it is imperative that I slay this beast!   I am working predominantly with MS word 2010, although occasionally will have to use 2013/365.  My work basically consists of amending, formatting and typing documentation and agreements.  These can be anywhere from a few pages to hundreds or thousands of pages with many headings, subheadings, clauses and subclauses etc.  My issue is with formatting these respective headings, clauses, subclauses etc for example: 

1 HEADING 

1.1 content content content 

      1.1.1 content content content 

               1.1.1.1 content content content 

      1.1.2 content content content

2 HEADING 

2.1 content content content      

      2.1.1 content content content 

2.2 content content content

You get the idea.  My questions mainly involve how to do this so that the respective numerical values under each heading don't continue from previous section or heading.  Is there a way to link the numerical values to the heading number?  Is there any way to automate this process so that I don't have to be continuously pressing the indent buttons all the time, a way to make the styles/lists just ready to go so I can just type away and not have to be fiddling with formatting all the time?   I feel like my questions are so innumerate, I'm almost unsure if I'm asking the right questions. 

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.  You would be saving someone from abject insanity.  

Many thanks, 

Chuck.

Office files on One Drive available only in "Read Only" mode by Office 2013 desktop apps?

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 06:40 PM PDT

When did this change:  "You can also open these online documents in the Office programs you have installed on your computer, and work on them while they're stored in your OneDrive."  Suddenly this evening I found the Office 2103 files I had stored on my One Drive,  and which I had been using regularly from my Office 2103 desktop apps, could only be opened in "Read-Only" mode.  Are my Office files on One Drive only useful now with Office web apps?

DOCM file not saving on Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 05:46 PM PDT

Hi,

I am working on a DOCM file on Microsoft Word and the document won't save at all. When I click on the "save as" option or "save" nothing pops up, and there are no changes to the document. When I try to exit out of the document, I get a prompt that asks if I want to save the document, and when I click "yes" nothing happens and I can't exit the document without clicking "no." I've tried to save the file on two different computers--Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows 8.1--Microsoft Office 2010 and 2007. Nothing works. I've even upgraded the 2007 to 2010 to see if it was compatibility issue.

Does anyone know how to save the documents as a DOCM? I have to enable the macros and retain them. Please let me know. Thank you so much!!!
