Microsoft Word - Can't update fields in Word 2013 with F9


Can't update fields in Word 2013 with F9

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 03:05 PM PST

Split from this thread.

Hi.

I have the same problem as sunwatcher (but in word 2013). 

here some informations

  • None of the answer given here helps
  • My fields are not locked
  • updating single fields or single paragraphs with more fields (select a paragraph + f9 key) works fine
  • updating single fields or single paragraphs with more fields (select a paragraph + right click and update field) works fine
  • Update field before printing does not work
  • backstage view does not help
  • the "F9" key on the keyboard works (I mean, not a button fault)

Hope to find a solution soon...

thank you to all

MS Word 2013, Win 8.1, 20,607 KB .docx file. Title page header displays only. Navigation Pane displays headings, only title page, search finds words.

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 02:36 PM PST

Soapbox:

As Adobe ruins Adobe FrameMaker, some of us technical writers may suffer WinWord again. Or MadCap Flare. Or LibreOffice.

MS Word 2003 was quite spiffy and reliable with long manual composition on Win XP with numerous images and illustrations in the file using the MS Word 2003 drawing layer. I once said, "MS Word may replace FrameMaker. At least we have Unicode in Word as of Word 97.

 I have few good things to say of MS Word 2013 (v15).

There's my soapbox. Now I need help. Lest I get out the sector editor out ...

MS Word 2013 ( Version 15.0.4659.1001), Win 8.1, 20,607 KB .docx file. An Asus Laptop with Intel onboard graphics, 8 Gigabytes RAM, Intel I-5 processor.

Description:

I'm composing a rather long hardware install guide for a client. The file contains many photo and  of images, innumerable complex illustrations using the MS Word drawing layer. About 70 pages with TOC, List of Figures (LOF), and List of Tables (LOT) as the only generated lists.

The MS Word 2013 crashes innumerable times, so, with research, I:

  • Disabled both COM Add-Ins (OneNote Notes, Send to Bluetooth)
  • Word Options -> Advanced -> Uncheck "Use subpixel positioning to smooth fonts onscreen.

I realize today I should have already checked (populate the box with a check), to disable, (Word Options -> Advanced -> Disable hardware graphic acceleration) a bug between Word and some video drivers or hardware; Intel video tops the list, research suggests, and that's what's in this Asus laptop thing).

When I open the file:

  • Title page header displays only.
  • Navigation Pane displays headings
  • Search can find word in the document.

The content remains in the binary Word 2013 .docx file.

The styles endemic to the file open in the Home Tab, Style pane.

I've also performed the MS Word 2013 "Open and Repair" feature with no suceess and no messages.

On a Win 7 workstation I perform the MS Word 2010 "Open and Repair" feature with innumerable messages, yet the same results.

I have over 4000 minutes effort in this document. I would like to finish in over the next several months and deliver it to the client to their satisfaction.

Soapbox (slight return):

MS Word 15 (2013) is a complete reversal of advances made to MS Word up to MS Word 2003. Win 8.1 has the usability and human factors design of a fast food restaurant overhead menu. MS Word 2013 is reliable like MS Word '95 on Win '95 or Word 97 on Windows 98. Requiring users log into a remote account as outlook.com is an egregious violation of good IT security. No ISO 2700x-compliant, or compliant seeking, organization, would ever accept Win 8.1.

Thanks,

BCB

Sorting alphabetically in Word -- by word inside phrase or sentence. Macro or VBA?

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 11:18 AM PST

Hello!

I'm using Office 365 on a Windows PC.

The task at hand involves creating a long list of phrases and individual sentences, then applying a style to a specific word in each phrase or sentence. The result should be to "boldify" (ha!) that specific word.

Then I'll need to alphabetically sort this list, based not on the first letter of the phrase/sentence, but by the word which was selected and bolded in each separate phrase or sentence.

It might look something like this before it's sorted:

slow and steady wins the race

dogs and cats

as soon as possible

partly cloudy with a chance of rain

and something like this after it's sorted:

dogs and cats

partly cloudy with a chance of rain

as soon as possible

slow and steady wins the race

Do any of you super-smart folks have a suggestion about how to accomplish this?

Thanks!!

Outline View: Selecting entire paragraph minus terminating carriage return

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 11:02 AM PST

There doesn't seem to be a way select an entire paragraph minus the terminating carriage return when in Outline View.  So if you paste text, the terminating carriage return gets overwritten, causing the following paragraph to be adjoined to the pasted paragraph.  My work-around is clumsy: To create an empty paragraph following the one that I want to paste over.  Anyway way to make this odd restriction in selecting text go away?

Why won't my document double space?

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 11:01 AM PST

View comments on-screen but don't change printing margins

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 10:42 AM PST

Hello. I'm using Word 2013 on a document into which I have inserted one comment. When I print the doc, it prints with smaller margins to leave room for printing the comment, which I don't want. If I turn off markup, the printed pages have the correct margins but there's no indication on-screen that the comment is there. Is there a way I can print with the correct margins but still see an indication of the comment on the screen? Thanks for your help.

First line of each page does not justify (MS Word 2007)

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 09:52 AM PST

I am writing a long MS Word document and need each line of each paragraph to be justified. However, I noticed the first line of each page does not fully justify to the right, despite the rest of the text being properly justified. Please help!

Merge multiple lines in Excel to table in Word

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 09:00 AM PST

I'm trying to merge multiple lines from an Excel spreadsheet into a Word document (a form letter).  I think I understand that I'm to use mergefield TableStart but I can't seem to link the code to the excel spreadsheet as the data source.

I set up the Word document and used the Excel spreadsheet as the data source and it is pulling fields from there. For the table, I set up a two row table with my table headings. For the second row, I went to Insert|Quickparts|Field and chose Mergefield. I then put in TableStart:[the name of the data sheet in Excel], put the field codes in the table and repeated the procedure to insert TableEnd. However, this just inserts the first row from Excel, not the additional rows. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any and all help!

Word 365 University keeps changing 'll suffix to 'all example I'll to I'all

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 07:25 AM PST

I am running Win 8.1, Word 365 University.

When i type I'll, we'll, you'll, they'll - any word with the 'll suffix, Word 365 University changes the suffix to 'all as in I'all, we'all, you'all, and they'all. I have searched my customized dictionary and auto correct listing. Found nothing. In auto correct i have added 'all in the replace column and 'll in the with column. Yes, this works, but adds keystrokes, and is not a long term solution. Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

How to copy a restricted document

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 07:18 AM PST

I created a fillable document/template but restricted it to just be used to fill in data only.  However, I now need the document once completed to be copied into another document to be sent to a file.  Is there a way to accomplish this or will I have to create the document another way in order to have fillable files but create with the rest of the document created after the field are filled by the user.

Thanks

How do I remove a vertical sentence from the left side of a page?

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 05:54 AM PST

Thanks in advance...

How can I get WORD 2013 to open a document using the last view settings I used on that document?

Posted: 10 Nov 2014 02:37 AM PST

I do a lot of re-editing of the same document as it grows in thought (like many of us I bet!).  And on a tiny laptop screen, I often do this in DRAFT view because it takes up less space.   But when I reopen the document, it always comes up in PRINT LAYOUT view.  (While the feature of "would you like to resume where you left off?" is very handy, it doesn' set the view back the way I had it when I left.)

I have "allow documents to open in draft" set.  This seems to make no difference.

I note in passing that if somebody else sends me a document, and they've left the ZOOM set to something other than 100%, the document opens on my computer with the document's Zoom setting, not my "normal" view.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Word won't even open

Posted: 09 Nov 2014 10:31 PM PST

Hello everyone,

I have been having trouble opening my Word 2013 app on my computer that has Windows 8.1 installed on it. All my other Microsoft Office 365 apps works except for Word. I have uninstalled Office and reinstalled it twice now. It worked a bit each time I did so for a bit but then stopped working once again. A pop up appears saying that Word isn't working and that they will repair it now, I click on 'repair now' and nothing happens. I am getting so frustrated and upset. If anyone knows why this is happening that would be awesome.

Thank you,

Kaitlin St Pierre

Smooth Typing Animation Dissapeared

Posted: 09 Nov 2014 07:18 PM PST

I booted up word one day and the smooth typing animation that used to be there is gone. I know some people didn't like it, but I was a rather big fan of it. I tried reinstalling, deleting the app data folder for word, returning the word registry settings to default using microsoft's fix it tool, and using the repair function in word. None of these changed it and it is still gone. Im running windows 8.1, with office 365.

Supposedly I can reinstall it with German, but then I wouldn't have English. Can anyone assist me in this issue?

The university installed 2007 on it and I do not have the CDs. If I mess it
up I will have to take it back for them to fix. I think I may try to
install 2003 (without Outlook) and see what happens.

Thanks.

The limit is 2.2TB, not 2TB, and it is a limitation of the MBR
partition table scheme not a limitation of "fdisk". The limitation of
"fdisk" is merely that it doesn't understand the EFI partition table
scheme. It happily understands the BSD disklabel partitioning scheme,
which has different limits to the MBR scheme.

It is behaving exactly when it starts, i.e., Oct - 05 - 2008 after
01:59, the clock is moved to 03:00, which is expected.
But if you set the date to April - 06 - 2008 and set the time to
02:59, instead of moving back to 2:00, the clock starts counting to
3:00.

[root@a10-10-4-61 root]# date
Sun Apr 6 02:59:59 CST 2008
[root@a10-10-4-61 root]# date
Sun Apr 6 03:00:00 CST 2008

To cross verify, I even tried without this patch in latest Fedora core
release 7, there also I observed the same behavior, i.e., DST corretly
starts at last sunday of October, but it is not ending at the last
sunday of March.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

Bug in Fedora?

What *was* the bug? Prehaps it was not a show-stopper at all. It's
unlikely Fedora would ship an OS without working ethernet support.
 

I'd try the latest Fedora or another distro after first giving a try at
configuring the connection manually. Prehaps the bug is in the
configurator itself. Try 'ifconfig' or 'ip' and 'route'. See the
Ethernet-HOWTO, NET3-4-HOWTO, and possibly Networking-Overview-HOWTO if
needed. How the connection is configured depends on if eth0 is linking to
the internet or an intranet. If eth0 is used for the internet, then I
think you'd use dhcp, else assigning an internal address with ifconfig and
making a route to the peer is enough. I don't use ethernet for my Internet
connection, so I'm not familiar with the dhcp commands, but ifconfig/route
is what configured the interface I'm using right now.
 

It's even worse than I thought ;)

GRUB problem (double windows + linux)

Posted: 11 Sep 2007 01:48 PM PDT

Hi Stef,
Thanks for your reply.
The disk numbering and naming are correct, although they are
confusing. It took me quite a long time to find out how to set up
grub.conf, since the partition numbering changes during the boot
process (as explained) when I start linux (gentoo). Again, when I do a
search in grub during booting (e.g. for boot.ini) I get a different hd-
numbers as when I;m in linux (and start grub manually). I guess this
is caused by the combination motherboard (asus a7n8x) and the sata
module. My IDE disks are on the same controller. My SATA disks (yes,
you are right, there is a fourth disk) are NOT recognised a sdx, but
as hde and hdg. The reason why I use the hide/unhide lines are that I
do not want Windows to see the other windows disks/partitions. They
are not essential for the booting process and have no effect on the
current behaviour (hanging windows). When I remove the rootnoverify
lines, I get a grub-error while booting.

When I set the bios to boot HD1 (has windows), winXP is started up
correctly. So effectively the windows systems are viable and can be
started. When I telll the bios to boot my 1st SATA disk (which holds
grub in the mbr) and continue to run windows (pressing the F8 key) I
do get the windows screen with the debug options and the boot options
of boot.ini are displayed. So Grub does find the right partition.
However when I then select a boot option and ENTER, immediately the PC
hangs and I have to do a hard-reset.

I've also refreshed the mbr's of both IDE disks, but no succes. The
boot.ini's of the windows partitions point to the 1st partition of the
first hd on the first controller (which in fact is correct because of
the re-mapping (in Grub).

I'm still puzzled. Especially since this worked for years. I'm 100%
certain that linux and grub did not change. I'm not certain about
windows (you never know...). And finally it could be a hardware
problem. Could it be a hw problem with the ide-controllers?

Primary Contacts for Leads

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 06:33 PM PDT

Hate to disagree Sean, but CRM 1.2 definitely can associate a contact
with a lead. (Actually, it's more like associating a lead with a
contact, but...)

When you convert a lead, there is a field called "originatingleadid" on
the Contact that is populated with the lead that generated this
contact. You can click on it in the GUI to bring up the lead record.
This is a "one time" thing, in other words, you can't use it for
recurring marketing activities, e.g..

But yes, Leads are designed to handle the "first touches" of a suspect.
Web registration, trade show capture, CD of names all are good
candidates for leads...

sub-account

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 05:22 AM PDT

Darryl,
You'll need to set up (at least) 3 business units. The top level one
is already set up, that should be where the main account is owned. Put
people in that BU that can see everything throughout the corp.

Create one BU for each sales rep. (If you have more than 1 sales
manager, you'll want to get to at least a 3 BU deep structure). Set
role permissions so that each sales rep can only read stuff in their
own BU. When you assign subAcct A to Sales Rep 1, and subAcct B to
Sales Rep 2, those records will be "owned by" the sales reps BU, and
they won't be able to see each other's stuff.

Warning: don't play around with roles and BU's in your production
system, if at all possible! Moving records between BU's causes
extensive SQL updates, which can impact performance. Ideally, all of
the BU's and roles should be set up early in the dev process before
much data is in the system.

Good luck, HTH,

Dave
