Microsoft Word - microsoft word files not found/wont open

Microsoft Word - microsoft word files not found/wont open


microsoft word files not found/wont open

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 02:30 PM PDT

So Im using office 365 and the other day I downloaded a word document and edited it. I hit the save icon in the top left corner of the screen (the little floppy disk), exited out and came back to it a few times without a problem.

Now however when i went into microsoft office it is nowhere to be found. I have searched everywhere on my computer, my skydrive and one drive to no avail. There is a version of the file in my recent word documents that i think may be the most up to date version but whenever i click on it it asks my to sign into my colleges elearning (which I do) only for a notice to come up saying "Sorry, we coudnt open 'http://... etc".

I havent a clue where my latest version of the file might be saved and would really apprceaite any guidance on the issue.

Thanks guys!!

word error message

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 01:34 PM PDT

I have bought  a new computer and installed Microsoft Office 365. Whenever I try to open WORD it comes up with an error message. I have uninstalled , re-installed, tried all the fixes. Last night I was on the phone for almost an hour to the technical person who said it was to do with MY Epson printer and I needed to uninstall the ABBYY fine reader programme. I did this , in fact I uninstalled all the Epson drives - still no success. I have wasted another hour on this tonight and still no joy. Please does anyone have any other suggestions? 

Spell check won't check whole document.

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 01:21 PM PDT

When I am checking the spelling a document, before the spell-check is complete,  I get the message "Spell check complete. You're good to go." I have tried various things: highlighting the unchecked paragraphs; making sure that English is the default language; copying the text to another document. I get the same message. I have even changed the text, but in some gibberish, then tried checking the spelling. Same message: "Spell check complete. You're good to go." This has happened more than once. How do I ensure that the spell check is checking the entire document?

conversion to PDF from docx problem

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 10:33 AM PDT

In formatting a book, the headers for certain pages are off, causing blank pages to be added, causing page placement to shift. 

Then even though it looks fine in Word, it shifts and adds the pages when converted to PDF. I have looked and the margins and headers look okay as far as settings, but are still off in reality.

How can I fix this?

Method to easily adapt 3rd party word exports to MS Word with Linked Template for formatting

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 09:49 AM PDT

Hi,

I basically have two 3rd party applications that download a word file from their content.  When I link these downloaded word files to my MS Word template several things happen.  The numbering doubles as it maintains what I believe is the HTML numbering while MS Word auto numbers per the style.  Also some of the style formatting implements from the MS Word template but not all of it.  As it appears some of the HTML formatting would maybe be hard coded.  I really need a simple and efficient solution to manage this and would like these exports to be adjusted to once against seamlessly work with my MS Word Templates.  I'm not an expert with Macro or HTML though.  Any ideas that can help me around this?  It seems most of the macro I see for Word is to remove MS Word information to make a clean HTML.  I've not seen much in the other direction. 

Thanks

Conditional Formatting in a mail merge (Word 2010)

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 03:45 AM PDT

Hi there

I've tried to find similar answers but my request is very specific....

I have an excel sheet that I am putting into a labels mail merge where one column in the Excel has the input of either Green, Yellow, Red or Blue. (I have made the spreadsheet then auto change to the appropriate colour with conditional formatting)

I know this doesn't keep for the mail merge.... so my questions are...

1) Can I make the word document then change that field in the mail merge to the right colour i.e. make Green turn actually Green and so on.

2) If it's possible using code _I've seen people say something like this.... Changing the colours of part of it to the right colour

{ IF { MERGEFIELD Fieldname } = "Green" "{ MERGEFIELD Fieldname \*Charformat }" = "Red" "{ MERGEFIELD Fieldname \*Charformat }" = "Yellow" "{ MERGEFIELD Fieldname \*Charformat }" = "Blue" "{ MERGEFIELD Fieldname \*Charformat }""{ MERGEFIELD Fieldname \*Charformat }" }

where do I enter this code on the mail merge if that's what I need to do?.... and would I have to do it in every label.

3) If any of this is possible what I really would like to do is make the writing black and have it highlighted in the corresponding colour. Is this possible to do?

Hopefully that all makes sense and you can help me with my query :-)

Thanks :-)

Word 2010 Table

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 03:18 AM PDT

I drew a table and put some contents in. I want to be able to see the borders while I am using the table on the computer (dimmed lines), but I don't want to see the borders when the document prints out. How can I do it? I am using Word 2010.

Automatic file location in Word 2010

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 02:49 AM PDT

I think I may have been set an impossible task but would like clarification from others if I can...

My Admin team at School have said that in the past when they opened Word the file location was automatically inserted at the bottom of the document. They have asked me to set this up again!

I have created a Macro which with one click enables them to insert the file location, but supposedly this is not good enough, they want it to be automatic.

I then created a document template which I was going to replace with their normal.dot but I cannot seem to find a normal template in the usual location. We are in a Windows 7 domain.

They are adamant there is a way to set up word so when you open a new document the file location is embedded in a footer at the bottom. This also changes if the file is moved.

I am sceptical myself as this sounds like an almost impossible task for Word to complete.

Can anyone help?

Thank you   

Using "IF" Functions in a Word Document - Help with a Formula

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 09:31 PM PDT

Hi-

I need assistance creating an "IF" statement within a table within Word 2013.

I've created a summary table to to pull the data from several bookmarked fields within other tables within the document and leave it blank if there is no data.

Ex. In another table within the document the Bookmarked Field "Customer_Exceeds" is checked "X", so the If statement for the summary field will enter "X", if the field is left blank it will enter "-"


Summary Table looks like this - and is where I'm trying to insert the "If" statement - I will need to do one for each field.

Category Exceeds Achieves Needs
Customer  X

Any assistance is appreciated!

Thanks!

Save to HTML as one file

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 05:44 PM PDT

When I save a word document to html using save-as,   It creates a file of html with text and some of the images, and then it adds a directory with some more of the images.  The web site I am using allows only one file, and not the directory of images.  How do I save the file so that everything -- all images and text -- are in one file?  

Word Document

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I am working in a word document and there is a gray column space at the side of each page that will not allow me to fill up the page with data. It's like a column added, however, I do not want it to be there. The gray shows up when I print; while working in the document it is just a space that is separated with a gray line that runs down every page. What is this space and how do I get rid of it

Change in Word 2010 Program Icon and loss of .docx file extension option

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 04:27 PM PDT

The problem is two fold - (1) Regular Word 2010 icon was replaced with white icon with DOCX text on all my word files that had a .docx extension, and (2) the .docx  file extension does not appear in the list of file extensions available to use to associate a file type to a program. I am using Windows 7- 64 bit operating system. This problem has appeared within the last 6 months. Additionally in Windows Explorer I cannot open Windows 2010 files that have a .docx extension by just double clicking on the file. I have to right click, then choose Open With and then choose Microsoft Word. If I forget and double click the file my computer appears to be searching for the file. I would expect a registry problem, but I am not that tech savvy to fix.   Any suggestions ?  Thank You

Microsoft suddenly stopped working

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 04:25 PM PDT

when I attempt to open my 2013 word or excel an error message pops up reading "Microsoft word has stopped working.. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". But then nothing happens, no solutions or causes for the issue are explained. I've tried to troubleshoot my settings through my control panel in the "program compatibility" area and nothing works. Not only can I not create new files, I cannot access old files. This is the account I use for my job, and virtually all of my work is on word or excel so I don't know how I am supposed to work without it. Help! 

Header question

Posted: 12 Oct 2014 04:11 PM PDT

Suppose I'm on page 219 and I notice that the page header is wrong. I click on the header to fix it and the displayed page jumps to a remote section of the document - whose page number is also 219. I do not understand why this happens. It makes changing headers much harder. (Of all the many Word features I've used, I regard Headers as the most difficult.)

KB936695 Compatibility Pack Update: HELP!!! I'M CONFUSED!!!

Posted: 09 Aug 2007 02:35 PM PDT


Hi Julie,

The hotfix that is listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934393 is a
hotfix for Office 2007 only. It is not for the compatibility pack.

The article does seem confusing. In the section that reads "How to update
the Compatibility Pack" in method 2 it does say that 934393 can be downloaded
however this infomation is not really accurate. The patch at 934393 is to
upgrade office 2007 not the compatibilty pack. One thing that should be noted
though is that the compatibilty pack installs some of the same files that are
installed with Office 2007. So I believe what the article should say is... To
make sure that this issue is corrected either..

A. Install the updated compatibity pack if that is what you are using and
2007 is not on the box
or
B. Update Office 2007 if you have Office 2007 on the box.

In either scenerio I would expect the files Wrd12exe.exe and Wrd12cnv.dll to
be found on the box and require updating using one of the above methods.

So to recap...

If you are not using office 2007 but you are using the compatibilty pack,
make sure the updated version of the compatibility pack is installed from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466

If you are using Office 2007 make sure that you install Office 2007 update
from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934393/

Install Home/Student 2007 - Must uninstall MS Office 97 Professional?

Thank you JoAnn and Mary. My OS is WinXP Professional (up-to-date). There
seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether my Office 97 will or will
not lose some functionality. I really don't access the clip art gallery

Tnanks for your response. I guess that's as good a plan as any. Before I try

If that doesn't work, then I'll try the reinstall.

It must have been earlier than anything publicly released for Project

Earlier versions of Project (i.e. Project 98 and earlier didn't even
have a WBS Predecessor field). As Julie noted the WBS Predecessors and
Successors fields are information fields (i.e. calculated by Project -
not editable by the user). Are you sure you're not thinking of Unique ID

Diana,
I agree with Mike on the idea of creating a custom view (although maybe
you don't care if you modify the built-in version).

I will however comment on your other post about hiding a column in
Project. True, in Excel a column can be hidden by simple dragging its
vertical bars together and then separating them again to show the
column. Project does have this feature but when hiding a column in
Project, the data is not "lost", it is temporarily not viewable until
the column is added back to the view table. What cannot be hidden in
Project are the task rows. Deleting a row in Project does in fact
totally delete the information, unless of course "Edit Undo" is
performed immediately afterward.

With regard to your wish to combine closely related tasks, why not
simply modify the task description to include both parts. Don't get to
cryptic though or it won't be understandable by those who view the
PowerPoint presentation. Another thought, if you are putting together a
PowerPoint presentation you probably want a high level overview anyway.
Go ahead and create the detail schedule (one task per line) but then
include Summary Lines to capture the general idea of related groups of
subtasks. When done, collapse the schedule by double clicking the little
plus or minus box next to the Summary LInes. Then copy and paste the
resulting overview schedule for PowerPoint.

Hope this helps even more.
