Microsoft Office Word 2013 Will Not Open

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 02:58 PM PDT

I have Microsoft Office Pro installed on a Windows 7 computer.  Outlook and Excel work but Word doesn't.  It starts to open but then just freezes.  I have tried running a repair, I tried uninistalling from control panel and reinstalling, I used Microsoft Fixit to Uninstall, and I have tried manually uninstalling and reinstalling.  Nothing I have tried is fixing it, what do I need to do to get Word working?

Background colors brought into Word document when pasting from the web

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 02:33 PM PDT

Split from this thread.


Sometimes when I paste in some text that I've copied from a web page (my own or other) it comes into word with a gray background - or maybe some other pastel background, depending - and I cannot get rid of that background in word. In fact any following text I type at the end of that blob will probably have the same color background.

It must be taking some html properties. But I'm not sure that I get that only for text off of a webpage.

The only way so far I have found to work around the issue is to cut that text from Word, paste it into Notepad, copy it from Notepad and paste it into Word.

But surely there is a better way. Is there?

How do I allow only limited formatting in a template?

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 01:42 PM PDT

I am helping to create a template for creating a variety of instruction documents that may include things like tables and flow charts.  I am learning most of this more or less from scratch, but so far have been able to restrict the number of available styles in the document and create content controls for picking dates, selecting title items through a drop-down, and grouping other text elements to lock them in place.  I've also noted the document protection options for limiting sections of the document from modification.  What I need to know is if there is some combination of these or other options that will allow me to limit the font choice without ruining imported items like tables and flowcharts.  Ideally, I would have a template that allowed users to type in or copy and paste text into a limited number of sections with all normal text inputs in Arial 11 font and all table or flowchart elements in Arial font of whatever size is appropriate for that element.  I understand that the control options in this program are limited, however, so what I really need to get to is an answer as to what is possible and what might not be a good idea because of possible conflicts.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Suppressing Blank Lines Following IF...THEN...statements in Word Mail Merge

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 01:39 PM PDT

I am merging to some address cards and each record may have one, two, or three entries for telephone numbers.  To acquire these numbers from my source document, I am using the following series of IF THEN statements:

{IF{MERGEFIELD Phone} ="" "" "Business Phone: {MERGEFIELD Phone}"

{IF{MERGEFIELD Home_Phone}=" " "Home Phone: {MERGEFIELD Home_Phone}"

{similarly for Cell Phone....}

Is it possible to suppress the blank line(s) created when someone has only a cell phone? i.e., is there a way to delete the paragraph marks between lines?  Or is some other construct needed? 

It appears that folding the Home Phone entry into the first IF THEN instead of just skipping down to the next statement if void in Business Phone is encountered would partially solve the problem.  But what to do about the cell phone?


Using an if conditional with the same Fields

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 01:28 PM PDT

 Having issues trying to write a conditional where my price field is <3k but >49k. I end up with a blank cell. What am I missing?

{IF {=AND({COMPARE {MERGEFIELD  Price} >= 3000 },{COMPARE {MERGEFIELD  Price} <= 49000})} =1" "{= {MERGEFIELD Price} *0.09044}"\#C0 ""}

Word 2010 - Creating an Table of Contents - Error!Bookmark not defined

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 01:10 PM PDT

I am creating a service agreement and wish to add a table of contents.  The file has about 10 0r 12 merge fields.  I spent considerable amount of time working on the Table of contents and changed provisions to conform to various styles.  I went through all of the steps to add the table of contents and through the document to identify the style.  Updated the table of contents and it appears where it is supposed to with correct numbers and page number references.  When I merge the data, the merged document has the table of contents and it appears exactly the same.  That is until I tell it to print.  When I tell it to print, the page numbers in the Table of Contents change to "Error! Bookmark not defined." for every page reference in the table of contents and the heading "TAble of Contents" also disappears. When I query it, it returns a message:  "The current document doesn't contain a table of contents field that can be updated automatically.  To insert one, click the table of contents button on the reference tab.  If you filed out a table manually, you must update it manually." 

I did not manually fill out a table of contents, I used the software function.  The table appears 100% correct until I tel it to print the file.  I tried changing the Field | Options | Display on the original file and the merged file to "update fields before Printing."  It doesn't seem to make any difference what that setting is.  None of the items listed in the Table of Contents contain merge fields.

Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Microsoft Word 2013

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 12:29 PM PDT

Hello,

I was using Word today and my laptop crashed saying that it needed to restart as it found a problem. On restart it said that it was installing some updates. Once I logged on and attempted to start up Word again it came up saying that I needed to Log In with my microsoft account. I did and it then said that there was no product related to this account. I then attempted to enter the product key of my current Microsoft Office and it then takes me to the loading screen of Getting Your new Office ready for you and it has been stuck on this loading screen for the past hour now and it wont let me onto any of my documents.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Changing the default margins, paragraph, and font for all Word documents

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 09:53 AM PDT

I have tried unsuccessfully to set the default margins, paragraph, and font for all Word documents by setting the formatting I want then clicking on the "Set as Default" button in the Page Setup, Paragraph, and Font formatting windows. None of the changes I make stick. The next time I open Word, the margins, paragraph, and font are the same as before my changes.

How can I change the default margins, paragraph, and font for all future Word documents?

Word Macro - Not Writing to Excel Doc

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 09:48 AM PDT

    

Hello All,

 

Below is a Word Macro that's not working correctly and I'm wondering if you can review and give me your thoughts. I've verified the Bookmark in my WordDoc - Form Field is correct and the correct Dropdown Value "1" is selected. So that should set the Stmttype to "DRS" (Form Field – Bookmarked "Type" has 4 dropdown selections and Number 1 is "DRS").  However, the result does not write to the noted Excel Doc (also the path and excel doc name have been verified correct).

 

So what it does is the Routine runs, but writes NOTHING to the assigned Cell (B1).

 

And thoughts?

 

Thank you – Jenny B.

 

 

Sub WritetoSheet()

 

    Dim XLSheet As Object

    Dim Stmttype

    Dim Wbook As String

 

'   Prompt for values

   

    If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Type").DropDown.Value = 1 Then

    Stmttype = "DRS"

         

    End If

   

'   Create Sheet object

    Wbook = ThisDocument.Path & "\Create Proof.xlsm"

    Set XLSheet = GetObject(Wbook, "Excel.Sheet").Activesheet

   

'   Put values in sheet

     

    XLSheet.Range("B1") = Stmttype

          

    Set XLSheet = Nothing

        

 

End Sub

Issues with copying and pasting from pdf to word 2013

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 08:43 AM PDT

When I copy text from a pdf into word 2013 it takes the font I have set for my document which is Times New Roman but for some reason the spacing between the words is too wide and the format of the spacing is MS Mincho. I can highlight the entire line of text and select Times New Roman but the spacing still has MS Mincho. I have changed my copy and paste options to "Keep text only" but that doesn't solve the problem.

The top line in the image is copied from the pdf and the bottom line is typed directly in word. You can see they are exactly the same words but the spacing is off. When the cursor is on a word in the top line it says times new roman.

In this image I have moved the cursor to the space before a word and it show MS Mincho. It is like this for all the words in the pasted sentence.

Any ideas?

Complicated Mail Merge -- Multiple Entries Per Email

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 08:15 AM PDT

The raw report I'm working from to create this mail merge sometimes includes different rows for the same identifier.

Specifically, a single individual with a single email address may have multiple lines in the spreadsheet, each for a different insurance policy. I am trying to create a mail merge that includes all of a particular email address's insurance policies in one message.

The spreadsheet looks something like this:

 

Email Policy Type Policy Number
*** Email address is removed for privacy ***   Policy #1 Policy Number #1
*** Email address is removed for privacy ***  Policy #2  Policy Number #2
*** Email address is removed for privacy ***   Policy #3 Policy Number #3
*** Email address is removed for privacy *** Policy #4 Policy Number #4

Instead of sending out four separate emails, one for each policy, I would like to send out one email that has all four:

Dear <<Name>>,

Text text text

Policy Type Policy Number
Policy #1 Policy Number #1
Policy #2  Policy Number #2
Policy #3 Policy Number #3
Policy #4 Policy Number #4

Regards,

Me

It seems like a simple if-then statement should be sufficient, but I can't find a way to make an if-then statement in Word that says, essentially, if the next record has the same email address, append the policy type and expiration date in a row below the first policy type and expiration date.

Microsoft Word 2007 works too slowly

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 07:55 AM PDT

A couple of days ago, I noticed that Microsoft Word started working very slowly as indicated by frequent appearance of the blue spinning ring when I tried to copy and paste or do some other things. I also noticed that, while I was working on the document (432 KB, 41 pages, 107,000 characters), the symbols on the top left corner (save, backwards, etc.) also appeared to be in action, sometimes disappearing completely and then coming back on after a few seconds. I tried to repair it and it said that there was something wrong with AVG 2015  that I had installed the day before. I removed AVG 2015 but there was no improvement. I tried to test it with a very small file and there was an increase in speed but Word was still slow. Then I installed Microsoft Word Home and Student Edition again from Microsoft's download site. I am now using this one and it still is terribly slow. I believe my PC is virus free and could not identify any other reason for the slowness. I am able to use the program but it causes me to lose a lot of time (I do translations every day). What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Bulend

Can Microsoft Word automatically fill in the date?

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 07:06 AM PDT

I would like to set up a simple weekly calendar in MS word, and enter the date for Sunday (on the lefthand column).


Is there a way to get a field into this calendar, that will add one day later to the number entered on the left? In other words, can I get the field in the Monday column to always display the next date, after Sunday? If I enter 26 October in teh Sunday column, is there a way to get Word to insert 27 October in the Monday column? And then, if I open up this file the week afterwards, and enter 2 November in the Sunday column, is there a way to get Word to enter 3 November in the Monday column?

enter text once, see it in several places - possible?

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 06:58 AM PDT

I would like to be able to enter text in one location in a document (say, in a table cell) and have that same text auto-populate a different location in the same document (say, on a particular page further down). Or perhaps vice versa. And do the same thing recurrently for different text in similar-but-different locations in the document.

Is there a way to do this in Word 2013? Or not?

And if there is a way, is it straightforward enough that I can hand the document over to the users and let them maintain it, or would it continue to require specialist support?

Monospace Font Question

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 03:54 AM PDT

Greetings!

I am using Korean Windows 7.

When using the Consolas monospace font, things are thrown out of whack whenever spaces are inter-spaced among letters within the sentences.

All other letters in this font appear OK (e.g., wwww and llll etc. all appear equal in length), but not so with the blank spaces and the other letters.

How can this be remedied?  I unchecked the Option / Layout Balance SBSC characters and DBSC characters, whatever the heck that means, but the problem is still present.

Or is there another monospace font that has everything (spaces, letters, etc.) equal in length?

I would appreciate your advice in this matter.

Creating a different last page footer

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 02:29 AM PDT

Hi all

I am trying to create a document which has a footer throughout, with different text on the last page only.

The page numbers do not start at 1, so the conditional if page = numpages will not work for me.

I can't use section breaks either as it's a merge template which starts off as a single page until it's populated with the content.

Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

Thanks in advance!

Change font size and line spacing in the index

Posted: 21 Oct 2014 09:33 PM PDT

I was reducing the font size and line spacing in my indexes (to save space) manually after the indexes were created. Then I noticed that the next indexes had wrong odd-page headers. If I don't change the font size and line spacing, the headers are OK. So what I need is a way to create the index with a smaller font size and line spacing than usual. I tried setting their defaults but it made no difference. And I don't see a field code that does it. (I normally use {XE \F "B" \c 2} for my B-type index entries; B can also be G, J, N, R, and S.)

Possible? Not possible?

The First Page of Each Sheet in a Booklet Is Not Printing...

Posted: 21 Oct 2014 06:07 PM PDT

I'm trying to print a 12-page, 3 sheet booklet using Microsoft Word 2010. I'm using an HP Officejet Pro 8600 which has double-sided printing. I print on both sides, flipping on the short edge. I've noticed that the first page doesn't print any content, it flips and doesn't print the first page on that side either. Except their page numbers which I have in the header does print! Tiny 12s, 10s, 4s and 2s are there every time and nothing else. These pages DO appear in the print previews.

AND the third, innermost sheet always prints perfectly. All four pages' content: graphics, page numbers and text are there.

What I've tried so far:

  • Using a different printer (HP Photosmart 7510)
  • Exporting .doc as a .pdf and printing from Adobe*
  • Printing on a lighter stock** (intended for 65 pound card stock)
  • Manually printing on both sides

* I have little experience with Adobe. The pages are printing in quarters right now. Working on it.

**Printing on 24 pound stock yielded the same results.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance!

Merge Cells Button on Ribbon Not Available -- a bug?

Posted: 21 Oct 2014 05:14 PM PDT

I created a table (INSERT à Table à Insert Table) and entered some information in some of the cells of the newly created table.

I want to merge two cells in the same column. I position the cursor to the cell in the previous row. Then I press down on the left shift key, press and release the cursor down key, and release the left shift key. However the Merge Cells button on the ribbon is still greyed out – I can't select it to merge the two selected cells. Is it just me or is this a bug?

If I continue by selecting another application and returning to the document, then I can select the Merge Cells button on the ribbon. I can also continue by selecting the columns beside the current selection and returning to the original column.

Just positioned the cursor on the first cell:

Just selected the first cell and the second cell:

Just selected the adjacent cells. But this time, the Merge Cells button are not greyed out anymore:

Hi Chris,

MS Office has optional installation items that include Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) to allow programmability with .NET Framework

There are add-ons that require .NET v2 to function.

Using Templates or profiles for "all users" on Imaged machine

Posted: 30 Aug 2007 12:46 PM PDT

Usually I set those options through the CIW (Custom Installation Wizard).
Page 10 of 24 gives you the option to set nearly anything you can from
within the program itself. That way anyone and everyone who opens up, say
excel on that machine, starts with the base settings. This is great for
stand alone machines or machines you dont have a GPO setup for yet. If this
is for currently installed office2003 installs I would then recommend going
the AD/.ADM route as that is the easiest way to setup default settings for
network connected machines.

In addition to what others have said here is a brief rundown on the
different versions of Office and what the EULA says:

Home & Student (or Student and Teacher if 2003 or older) - up to three
computers (two computers for S & T XP) in the house for NON-COMMERCIAL
purposes.

Office retail (full or upgrade install) - desktop and laptop for use by the
SAME PERSON.

OEM - installed on one computer and the license it tied to that computer and
can't be installed on any other machine at any time. If the machine dies,
the license also dies.

use the Mac. When I open word doents created in the Mac version, it opens

version. It is a pain to have to wait for Parallels to open then XP and
finally Word 07.

| Hi RBITECH,
|
| To save all the new doents in Office 2007 as Office 2003 format by
| default, follow the steps below.
| -----------------
| Click the Office button > Word/Excel/PowerPoint Options > choose Save >
set
| 'Save files in this format' as Office 97-2003 format.
|
| If you want to save the existing Office 2007 files as Office 2003 format,
| we need to use Save As menu.
| -----------------
| Open the Office 2007 files (*.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx). Click Office button 
| Save As > Word 97-2003 doent > save it.
| If you are using Office 2003, please install the FileFormatConverters.exe
| so that you can open/save the Office 2007 files in Office 2003.
|
| If you want to transfer the existing Office 2003 files as Office 2007
| format, we can use the Office File Converter tool.
| -----------------
| We can use the Office File Converter which is included in the OMPM to
| convert files in bulk. The Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) is a
| collection of tools that enables you to prepare for migration to the
| Microsoft 2007 Office system.
|
| Following is the key steps.
|
| 1. Download OMPM and save it on C:\.
| http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=75727
|
| 2. Click the Start menu > Run > type the following command and click OK.
|
| C:\MigrationPlanningManager.exe /extract:c:\ompm
| 3. Download and install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word,
| Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats (FileFormatConverters.exe).
|
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-
| 8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
|
| 4. Open the file C:\ompm\Tools\ofc.ini. Modify the following things:
|
| Under FoldersToConvert section, remove the ";" before fldr and add the
file
| path (the folder that contains the files you want to convert) after "="
|
| 5. Double click the ofc.exe tool. Then, it will begin to convert. It will
| create a folder named "Converted". It will convert all the files in the
| path folder we defined in #4 (including subfolders) to the "Converted"
| folder
|

Office 2007 Enterprise Version

Posted: 27 Aug 2007 12:42 AM PDT

Hi Ricko,

Assuming you have Admin rights when doing the install then the information in the Office setup log files you can locate using
Start=>Run and type in %temp%
should also include the error message with the key listed.

The procedure in http://suppport.microsoft.com/kb/325316
may be helpful for resolving the 1404 error.

=================

setup runs ok key is accepted but just before finishing I get an error
message error 1404 cannot delete registry entry software/classes... with no
other info. when I abort setup it completey hoses my machine and I have to
use system restore through safe mode to get it back running again. Works fine
after restore. Anyone have any insight here? I bought it under my companies
HUP program so I know its a legal copy.>>

How to Create a CRM Test Environment on SBS 2003?

Posted: 20 May 2005 10:03 PM PDT

Depending on what you will do with your testing system...my advice is to use
VirtualPC or VMWare and install your testing environment in there.

I ruined as much as 4 CRM servers in 8 weeks all by "testing around" ;)

And since it takes you at least one day to set up a new environment, I
prefer the solution to just get a copy of a new CRM instance in up to 10
minutes...very fast redeployment in my opinion.

Performance in the Virtual environment is ok - no complains.
I didnt test it on VMWare, but with VitualPC you can't use remote desktop to
control the virtual machine running in the host-pc - the delay is to high.

Another advantage is the ability to disconnect your virtual host from the
"production network" (and instead set up your own virtual network).
Especially when youre playing around with some bulk-email testimonials...you
need to be sure that they wont go beyond your own infrastructure.
In addition to that, you can take a test-crm along with you to work at home,
show up at customer etc...

Recommended system:
processor >2GHz
RAM >= 2GB (each virtual machine takes its RAM from the physical)
harddrive >160GB (my server image is around 10GB and my developer client is
around 4GB...and once you get used to it you will make snapshots of these
machine ;) )

Hi John,

I did think of this, but was not sure if I could do it in one report.

Should sub reports be the method?

CRM Updates

Posted: 20 May 2005 11:37 AM PDT

Mike,

Unfortunately, there is no "global" version number associated with the CRM
hotfixes. They are all a series of independant fixes and there is no version
number you can check to see what you have. Part of the reason for this is that
many of the hotfixes are released on an as needed basis and can not be attained
without first going through support. These are geared towards specific issues
and typically have not gone through the entire QA process associated with the
"public" hotfixes.

I would test the hotfix a a few client machines prior to attempting to roll it
out to everyone. That way you can work out the details of that process.

All,

I guess more specifically what I want to know is whether applying the update
is a matter of kicking our users out of CRM, launching the client update on
the client system, and also launching the server version of the update on the
server.

I know that it sounds like a simplistic question, but nothing with regards
to CRM has been simple. This product has caused the most issues within our
organization and there are still a lot of bugs to work out with it. I am
hoping that the latest fix addresses the issues, but I would like some
specifics before I attempt to deploy it.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Migrating CRM Installation

Thanks. One issue though -

I already successfully created another CRM installation. The problem is
that when I point it to the existing database the security service does
not start. After much investigation I discovered that it has to do with
the fact that the revision (stored in the BuildVersion table -
major/minor/revision/buildversion) does not match the corresponding
values stored in the registry of the server for the CRM installation
(i.e. Database Version setting in the MSCRM registry). What do I need
to do in order to get the new CRM server up to the revision of the
existing database?

DC Crash -> new ADS - Howto restore CRM with the DB-Backup???

Posted: 20 May 2005 08:30 AM PDT

Markus,

Yes, that is a problem. You need to have a working CRM system with the old
OU structure available in ActiveDirectory to use the redeployment tool. If
you had a backup of the system state data from the old DC, you could use this
method. I'll assume that you don't have that since, if you did, you probably
would have just restored that in the first place.

The only other option I can think of is to use the Data Migration Framework
(DMF) or Scribe to import the data from the backup you have of the CRM
database. The steps would be:

Install CRM with the "Create New Databases" option.

Restore the CRM database backup to a different database (don't restore into
the new CRM database you just created) giving it a new database name

Install DMF or Scribe

If using DMF, run the CDF-initialize program then import the data (use DTS,
SQL script, EM-Import, or whatever you like) from the restored backup to the
DMF-CDF tables

Use DMF stored procedures to map objects and verify mappings

Run the migration

Any customizations you had done and attachments will be problematic using
this method. There are no easy solutions for this. If you customized the
CRM schema, you will have to manually recreate all of the custom fields (Do
this prior to running DMF procedures). If you didn't backup the CRM server
application directory, you'll have to do all of your form modifications
again. If you are good with SQL, you can use a variety of methods to
copy/import the attachment data from the restored backup to the new CRM
database.

Good Luck!

Questions regarding Security Roles

Posted: 20 May 2005 04:22 AM PDT

MJ,

That makes sense. I totally forgot about Workflow Monitor. I can definately
see where you'd want to control someones ability to play with the active
instance.

Don't quote me 'cause I'm doing this off the top of my head and without
looking at the v1.x sources. A "workflow process" is the unbound definition
of a workflow. By unbound I mean that its instance variables - those objects
that might be running within the context of the process - are unset. A
"process instance" is a copy of the process that has had its unbound
variables bound to real instances of CRM entities. So, for example, I might
have a sales process definition ready to be used for managing new leads.
When I create a lead a workflow process instance may be created for the
lead.

The security bits, and this is where the fuzz factor comes in, control
access to either the process definition or the process instance. So, if you
have rights to the process you can exercise the process definition (read it,
alter it, enable or disable, and so on). If you have rights to a process
instance you can control it. That is you can pause or stop it and read its
current state. I don't remember if you need process instance create rights
to put a new object into a workflow manually. I'd have to go have a look.

Hope that helps.

Account delete priviledge not effective

Posted: 20 May 2005 01:30 AM PDT

Hi Bilge

What you are trying to do is right, in CRM the highest privilege will
be effective. So the user should be able to delete all accounts if
her delete account privilege is set to global.

I would suggest removing both security roles from the user, then
adding just the role with the global delete privileges or testing the
role with another user. One thing to be aware of is if you have just
created or modified this security role it can take some time for the
changes to propagate through the system.

The C360 (www.c360.com) Email-Case option has the ability to specify

Well, do u have an underscore "_" in your server name?
This will definately casue the behaviour u're describing. It's a known
