Microsoft Word - Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty

Microsoft Word - Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty


Eliminating blank lines in mail merge if fieldis empty

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 01:36 PM PST

I am using Word 2013, part of office 365. I have been attempting to create several custom labels. The problem arises when a field is empty and on a line by itself. When I attempt to print the document, a blank line is printed where the field was positioned.


I want Word to ignore blank filed and NOT insert a blank line. I have found several conflicting suggesting for older versions of Word, but none for the 2013 version. I would have thought that Word would have a built in function to accomplish that, but evidently not.

I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

problem with word 2013

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 12:37 PM PST

Hi, I've just installed Office 2013 all work except word. When I start it up all is OK until I go to a blank page then Word comes up with "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and shuts down. This also happens when I try to open up old word documents, up the top of these documents it is in compatibility mode.

Auto-numbering on Word 2013 acting very strangely

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 05:33 AM PST

Auto-numbering on Word 2013 is behaving very oddly. If I type in 4., 7., or 9., it works fine - it indents a little bit and makes it into an automatic list, that's fine. But if 1. is typed in, it indents in before the 1. as with 4. or 7. or 9. but then adds a massive indent after the 1. that I can't get rid of. 2. comes up bold and not indented. 3. and 5. bizarrely turn into a 4., 6. and 8. turn into 7., 10. turns into 9. and 11. turns into 10. After 11, it won't do automatic numbering at all. 

I've explained this as best I can but it is a very confusing, odd problem! I have no idea why it's suddenly decided to do this, I've had problems with auto-numbering previously with this version of Word but nothing as puzzling or bizarre as this. Hopefully someone can help me sort this - thanks.

Lock a section of a word document without locking all headers & Footers

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 04:39 AM PST

Hi,

I am in the process of creating documents (using Word 2013) where there is a section of text that I am trying to lock from editing.

So far i have put the text i want locking into a separate section using continuous section breaks. 

I have then locked the selected that section using the review ribbon. 

All has worked fine except for the fact that every time I lock the one section, it is also locking all of the headers and footers throughout the document. 

I have an un-linked header on the first page (option selected to be a different header to rest of the document), which I require to edit each time. 

Is there any way to lock the section I wish without locking all of the headers and footers? 

 

I'm sure it is just an option i am missing somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Thanks

Erratic scrolling on Word 365

Posted: 28 Nov 2014 12:28 AM PST

In some of my documents, I am unable to scroll down without the programme 'taking over', and scrolling immediately through the document and onto a grey blank canvas.

I am then unable to scroll up without it forcing the screen back down to the grey 'page' (i.e. no editable work page). I can only return up by pressing CTRL Home, and the same happens as I try to scroll down.

This has happened on many, but not all, formatted documents.

I have had to resolve it by copying text from the document and replacing it in a new doc.

I use three different Mouses in different locations, so it isn't that (also, scrolling to an uneditable screen would point to this).

Please can you assist!

If you locate winword.exe and double click does it run, or give the same
error?
If it gives the same error, then other than trying an earlier restore point,
assuming you are using winxp, then unfortunately you need a cd to repair

Microsoft Office Tool Bar

Posted: 24 Dec 2007 05:08 AM PST

Hi P.,

The program that runs the Office Shortcut Bar (OSB) (Office XP/2002 and earlier) is MSOffice.exe which you should be able to use
from Start=>Run and then select the answer from the dialog that comes up that you want it to start when you start the PC. What that
in turn does is create a switch in the command line of the Office Startup Assistant (OSA.exe) to include starting the Office
Shortcut Bar. In Start=>Programs=>Startup, you should see, after completing the steps above, the Office Startup Assistant there.

Note that one of the reasons that the Office shortcut bar was no longer included, starting with Office 2003 is that it, like other
programs want to be 'on top' and the OSB didn't always 'win' (i.e. it could disappear, locked behind another utility).

Where is the option to place the Tool Bar permanently on the Desktop?
Currently, the bar disappears when the Computer is turned off and I have to
use the Start Menu to place the MS Office bar on the Desktop, every time I
start the computer.

Unique Project Management and MS Project problem

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 03:30 PM PST

Hi Bob,

Indeed, when you say you don't want the solution as it is, there is no
solution left.
You don't want to measure the resources, well yhen you lose the weighting
factor (Work) Project applies.
Apply the right level of resources to each task, use all work related
measurements and forget about duration as a measurement: that is how Project
is conceived.
Good Luck!

Hello Rick,
The pool file must be in read/write mode of course. So open it first.
The "Import Custom Field" button imort only the content of athe field in
question. Not its name.
The Organizer is more efficient for that : Tools / Organizer...

Can I attach a word doc to a project task?

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 12:30 PM PST

The short answer is yes. In Project Standard you can hyperlink to a
Word Doent through the Insert pulldown menu Insert => Hyperlink
(Ctrl + K). In the Professional version with Project Server, there are
several other options to connect Word files etc to a project.

Good luck.

Just so you know, I believe you can link to the resource pool without opening

was instructed not to do.

How can I show roll-up by on the immidiate summary bar only?

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 03:28 AM PST

You need to individually set the summary bar to show it rolling up.
Another alternative is to create a new type summary bar from the format menu
/ barstyles for rolled up tasks that are flagged with a particular flag. I'm
not certain this will get exactly what you want, but it does offer a way to
control the display.

Can cost/use be used differently

Posted: 14 Nov 2005 11:11 PM PST

The "cost per use" is attributed for each assignment to the task. You can
accrue it at the start, the end, or prorated. If you need to do it some
other fashion, break the task into smaller subtasks. If you have a 4 week
task with the cost accrued at the end of each week, make it a summary task
with 4 1-week subtasks. Assign the resource to the subtasks only, set the
cost-per-use to the weekly rate, and its accrual to the end of the task.

Do be very very careful - Project is a work scheduling and labour/material
resource cost estimating program first and formost. It is emphatically NOT
a cost accounting system and doesn't do a very accurate job of it -- in
fact, it completely ignores capital and cost of capital, opportunity cost,
ROI, etc so anything you do in that regard is a kludge with all the pitfalls
inherent in forcing a square peg down a round hole..
