Microsoft Word - Cannot Edit a Word Document

Microsoft Word - Cannot Edit a Word Document

Cannot Edit a Word Document

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 03:25 PM PST

I was editing a 6-page Word document on my MacBook Pro using Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.6.  When I reached page 4, I was no longer to edit the document.  In addition, I was unable to delete or add text on pages 1 through 3, which I had just edited.  I would appreciate any ideas or advice.

Delete characters

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 03:21 PM PST

1. I want to delete all instances of a particular character, for example spaces. If I do  Replace and put the character in the Find What box and put nothing in the  Replace With box, it just copies the character in Find What. I want to replace the found character with nothing, in other words, delete them. There must be a simple way.

2. Unless I'm wrong, restricting Replace With to only the current selection does not always work. I just had an instance where it started to do the replace on the entire extremely long document. Does anyone else see this?

3. Is there a worthwhile place in MS to send bug reports and suggestions? A few of my suggestions are, in my opinion, extremely important, and some of the  bugs are very annoying. (I regard Word as very capable but not really finished!)

Can I put an attribute or change a permission so that people can read and write in the file but not change the title of the file

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 01:27 PM PST

Can I put an attribute or change a permission so that people can read and write in the file but not change the title of the file?  I am creating an index linking each file title to the title in the index but if someone change the file title, the link doesn't work anymore.  Any suggestion please?

How to export the results of a word search using word 2013?

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 12:46 PM PST

How can I copy or export the results of a word search into a word file or excel.   At minimum I just need to perform a copy and paste of my search results into a word document.  More would be better but for now this would help.

Document Forms/Templates

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:43 AM PST

I work in a law office, and we frequently re-use documents from previous cases, but change names and case numbers to reflect the new information/client without having to completely remake the document with all the statutes.  Some documents are longer, and have multiple types of information that need to be updated.  To make this easier, I'd like to create a template or form of some sort where I can highlight or otherwise make obvious what information needs to be changed in each new situation, but make sure that the indications for editing don't appear when the document is printed.

Is there any way to do such a thing, aside from highlighting all the areas I need to change, and then turning off the highlighting when I edit?

Also, in some cases, one date needs to be entered in multiple places--is it possible to make the multiple places all change when an edit is made in one instance?

Thanks for any help!

Getting rid of a line

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:29 AM PST

Hi there

What worked for me was not any editing of footers and headers (thought it was that but none of the advice listed here worked for me).

What ended up being the problem was a 'footnote' that I had inserted and removed earlier. The text was gone but the line had remained.

There was a small superscript '1' after an abbreviation in a table above - I deleted the '1' and the line disappeared.

Hope this helps someone.

SAVE FEATURE HAS STOPPED WORKING IN 2010 MS HOME STUDENT PROGRAM (USING WIN 7)

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:07 AM PST

Can't "Save" or "Save As" in Office Student 2010 (particular problem is in Word): I am assisting my 80 year old Mom to fix her MS Student 2010 program (using Windows 7 laptop).  I have to read her step-by-step instructions by phone (she is out of state). I have already gone to the Programs and Features, chose "change" & then "repair" and still can't save a Word document.  Her CD/DVD drive is not working either (that's a whole new question), so we can't simply uninstall and reinstall the Office Student 2010 using the disc since the drive won't read/open the valid, licensed disc.  After I had her repair it, a couple of things are happening that I have never run into: when she clicks "Save" it says "Compatibility Mode" next to the file name, and the saved file goes nowhere.  If she tries to "Save As" it does not give her any options for the location to save it in (no drop down location/window or a side panel to choose "Desktop, Documents, etc." - it appears as though her Windows navigation pane has disappeared as well, so she can't simply "Save As" to the "Desktop."  So I just had her use whatever it was defaulting to with the File Name "Test 1", then did a "Search" for "Test 1" and it is nowhere.  Obviously it is not actually "saving" the file anywhere.  I am hoping the fix will be as simple as a "check box" in one of the settings, but I don't know where her "Options" tabs in the 2010 to check either the "Save" tab, "Compatibility" tab or "General" tab, so she can read off what is checked or unchecked in each tab so I can see if there is one or two boxes that need to be checked or unchecked.  Does anyone know what the next step(s) would be to fix her Office program or maybe wipe all her settings out?  She does not know how to use any of its other features OTHER THAN JUST SIMPLY SAVING A FILE - so I could care less if all the settings go back to its factory default.  If I can get it to just "Save" a file, that will be a HUGE help - we don't care about anything else at this point.

Other question(s):  is there a link that I can have her use to troubleshoot and fix (or check for updates) for "compatibility" issues in the program itself?  Last resort: Where is the factory default setting?

NOTE: I have also tried to update and/or install drivers as well (from the manufacturer's website), with no success.  Anyone care to comment?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Pages in the wrong order when creating a mailmerge

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 07:59 AM PST

Afternoon all,

Just looking for a bit of help.

At work I have to use program (based on Access) to create street numbering certificates. I would enter all the details into this program and then use our mail merge template in Word 2010 to create the certificates. Each address which I enter into the database would have two pages in the merge.

The problem I've got is that when I carry out the merge the letters are all mixed up - for example I would end up with the two pages for plot 4 at the beginning of the document and two for Plot 1 at the end and so on..  It wasn't too bad when we used to print them as they could be sorted before they were sent out, however as they are now e-mailed as PDF's its getting a pain copying and moving all the pages, especially when sometimes there can be 50+ plots.

Any advice would be great.

Thank

Dave

Disable "Save"

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 06:00 AM PST

I have created a form for people to fill out daily.  I am trying to get them to use "Save As" to keep the original blank, but that doesn't always work.  Is there anyway I can get the "Save" button, Ctrl+S, etc. to take them directly to the "Save As" screen?  If not, is there a way I can get it to give me back an error and not allow the "Save" feature without effecting "Save As."  We run Office 2013 and 2010, not sure if that makes a huge difference.  Also, I have tried using Macros, but haven't quite figured it out yet.  I hope this makes sense, thanks for any feedback.

Word Document Opens Problematically

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 05:09 AM PST

Hi,

I work at a school district and recently one of the teachers has been having a very strange issue, its hard to describe so I'll try to be sequential, simple, and clear. She opens a word document from a fileshare that a student submitted. The word documents are comprised of background images, with overlaying text. The document opens, flashes whatever is on the document, and then the image disappears leaving a blank document. She can then move her cursor over a section of the image, and just a section of the image will reappear, rough and pixelated around the edges. At this point we have a piece of the image, but not the whole thing. She can continue moving her cursor, and piece by piece, the image reappears. This is specific to one of her machines, its a windows 7 64 bit, with office 2013. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Time Based Track Changes in MS Word 2013

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 04:55 AM PST

Hi Guys,

I have a lengthly legal agreement which I have been working through each day, for the past 10 days in track changes mode. Each time I make an edit, the relevant edit appears in track on the right hand side of the page, with the date stamp on the top of the track change as its supposed to. 

How do I view track changes in chronological order? For example, I would like to see all the changes that I made yesterday only in the document, without having to run my eyes over each and every track change to see which ones have yesterdays date stamp on it.

Many thanks and well done in advance to the person who cracks this!

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 11:36 PM PST

In one of my MS word 2010 doc, I see the shapes option in insert tab as disabled. As such I am not able to insert the shapes. Please can you help on what could be causing this option to be disabled in a particular doc.

I created this word doc using a word template (dotm) file, made the changes and saved the document as docx.

Also in a different/new doc on the same system I see the option as enabled.

Control Document, Print each copy with a different reference

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 07:33 PM PST

Hello

Probably been posted before but unless question is worded the same it's hard to find anyway:

I maintain some control documents at work everyone's copy has a unique number.  Is there a way to create an auto number so when I hit print (with 20+ copies)each copy will have it's own number rather than print, change number, print, change number, print, change number etc.  The numbering convention is not important just needs to be unique per employee.

I've mucked around with mail merge, but I'm not getting anywhere

Any help thanks

Printing address labels

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 06:07 PM PST

All I want to know is how to print mailing labels (with multiple addresses).  

I want to go to my contacts via C: Users ->Myname -> Contacts and print address labels.  Or use that information to do so.

I am running Windows 8.1.  I have tried "merging" and a host of other useless actions that ask me to select folders/files that I don't recognize.  I have searched "Help", installed Office 2013, and wasted 3 hours.  Office 2013 has labels, but to get 30 labels they need to have a cutesy picture on them.  I just want blank.  

Once upon a time (as late as Windows 7) I could open Word, select "Labels" and add my contacts.  It would take 5 minutes.   

So.  What EXACT program do I need to print off sheets of 30 labels on blank Avery 5160 labels with the contacts I have on my computer right now?  

Thank you for any help you can provide.  

Oh, and Microsoft?  When I have to select from *10* different programs that are pretty much the same thing, I honestly don't know if the "topic" is correct or not.

Word 2010 mail merge special request. (How to collect multiple entries with the same email address into one email?)

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 04:54 PM PST

Hello,

I am using a mail merge created by an earlier co-worker, with the purpose of sending out late/overdue notices to library patrons, using an excel file created by our catalog program as a source for recipients.  The issue I need to fix is to edit the mail merge in a way that will combine any library items that apply to one email address, to all be sent in a single message.    The current system sends multiple emails to the same person for each item they have overdue/lost.  Here is a copy of the mail merge below, please suggest any edits that may be able to accomplish this (or any scripts/addons that would help).

Thanks,

Paul

How do I get continuous page numbering that ignores section breaks

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 04:52 PM PST

I have a long document (over 200 pages) with over 360 continuous section breaks (most of these were inserted automatically when I inserted columns into the document.  How do I get continuous page numbering from beginning to end of the document without having to go into each of the sections.  ie can I tell word to ignore the sections when it comes to numbering?

FYI each section break is linked to the previous section so when I view the footer it  says 'same as previous' .  The first 17 pages (which are mostly section 1) work fine.  Then suddenly the numbering goes as follows : 2,  2,  2,  2,  3,  2  4,  5,  6,  2  ...etc - the majority of the remaining pages are numbered 2!

The document is made up of 5 documents that were cut and pasted into one, which may be part of the problem.  Is there a way to view and clear any gremlins lurking in the footer.  I have used the 'remove footer' icon to try clearing it but the same problem recurs when I try re-inserting the pg number.

Also as each page may have several continuous section breaks (columns) so 'Footer section 19'  is followed by (for instance 'Footer Section 21' -ie there is no' Footer Section 20').  Is the problem perhaps in the 'hidden' sections? 

Any suggestions welcome.

Adding 2nd Exchange

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 09:00 AM PST

The front end server will be proxied to the back end server after you
assigned the front end role on your first Exchagne server. Only MAPI
connections could reach the mailboxes on the front end server.

Do you think about setting up an temporay 3rd Exchange server for Front end
server? Tihs way you can move the mailboxes from your first exchange server
to 2nd one. Then you should be able to assign the OWA role to your first
exchange server upon completion of moving your mailboxes.

Thanks for the link. One other thing I noticed today is that I found the
missing pst file. But it appeared to have a last modified date of one day
after the email was lost to this file from Exchange. When I opened the file
in Outlook, it had the Folder Tree intact...but the emails that I confirmed
were in that file are now gone. I suspect that Outlook tried to open it
after the fact and didnt succeed.

My question to you is...if the file was modified after the email was
deleted, are thgey any positive indications that this application will be
able to recover the previously modified version of that file??? Or should I
start preparing the legal papers now?!?

Thanks for the info!

Is SPF Supported by Exchange 2003 Ent SP2

Posted: 13 Feb 2008 01:11 PM PST

No. The default settings do not drop messages from domains that do not have
SPF records. Messages are only dropped on an explicity FAIL response. As far
as performance goes, it's just another DNS lookup and generally nothing I
would be concerned about.

Why is Office 2007 so slow and how to improve speed?

I doubt it's the hardware because my test machine has 4 GB of RAM and

Still getting error message trying to activate Outlook

Posted: 07 Jan 2008 01:21 PM PST

Hey, DL.

Thanks for the follow up. I believe I have resolved the matter, but will
wait a few days before declaring victory.

Here's what happened: After loading Home and Student Office I went snooping
around the hard drive for some application files so I could place shortcuts
on the desktop. (I've done this many times before with other software that
didn't place icons on the desktop after loading.)

Much to my wondering eyes did I see a file for Outlook. It wasn't supposed
to be on the Home version of Office 2007, but there it was. So naturally I
opened the file and started using it.

The reason I couldn't activate it is that it's not supposed to be available.
(Why it's on this version of Office, I don't know.) To make matters worse, at
least one of the guys at the store suggested I could use it.

I finally got through to a tech support guy at the store who told me to make
OE (which was loaded on the machine initially) my default browser. I did
that, and so far all is well in paradise. Fortunately, I was able to activate
the Office programs, though I had to call Microsoft to do it.

Happy Tuesday.

Hi JDSLA,

You can use a two column table, rather than 'columns' to get the affect you mentioned. For questions on doing this with a table

As a different way of doing it, you can put a SaveAs button on the top line

selected in the left portion of window and then change Popular Commands to
All Commands. Scroll down toward bottom about 3/4 way to Save As. Click on
it and then click Add>> then OK. The Save As command will then be placed on
the top line of the ribbon. Any frequently used commands can be placed
there the same way.

The older versions are 'out of support' as far as testing and updating by Microsoft goes so they're not 'officially'

Office 2007 & Office 2003 Questions

Posted: 05 Jan 2008 01:45 PM PST

After looking at the packaging more carefully, I did notice on the comparison
chart they have for all the different versions of Office 07 that the Office
'Home and Student' version can be installed on up to 3 computers, but it does
not indicate this for the Office 'Professional' version. After I do the
first install, I will take your advice and read the EULA.

Thanks again!

Garfield,

The quirky thing is that the store I purchased this computer from installed
Outlook Express. I'm wondering if that is causing my problem. I posted a new
message about this, but the short version:

I was able to activate something by calling the support number. But I still
get the prompt to type in my Product Key when I launch Outlook. So I wonder
if I need to totally scrap the folder I have with the Outlook Express
components, even though I don't think OE is active at all on my machine. Not
being a computer whiz, I'm really stumped on this. On top of that I have only
about four more uses of Outlook before it loses functionality.

Thing is, quite a few people attempting to install one or another version of
O2003 in Vista are getting these messages that it can't find a variety of
different *.cab files even when a quick browse shows it's right there in the
very directroy it tells us to look for, even when either or both the machine
and Office are clean out of the box. There arises the suspicion that we
may have got our hands on bad install disks via misbehaving resellers... or
at least (and potentially more aggravating), on a disk that *Windows* THINKS
is a bad install disk...

I have counted quite a few queries on this subject in this forum, and the
only concrete suggestions in response apply for cases where there's an old
OEM install in the way, not when all parts are apparently "clean".

How to *really* prevent splits after levelling?

Posted: 27 Nov 2005 03:51 PM PST

Ok I'm going to answer myself :)

I've got some resources using 24hrs calendar and some using the
standard calendar. After levelling, some tasks that are assigned to a
mix of 24hrs x standard calendar resources start on a Saturday.

When the problem occurs, that is because the amount of work
for the 24hrs resources is not enough to "cover" the whole weekend,
and the other resources cannot start until Monday, so a split
is added.

To prevent this, I had to set the task to use a specific calendar (standard).

Why it is better to not use Deadline dates

Forgive me Rod but I really can’t understand your answer.
My previous answer to you was strictly related to the concept of deadline
because I think that associating a deadline date to a task is meaningless,
for the reasons I explained to you in that answer.
But while the one above is only my personal opinion, the objective proved
fact is that it is not absolutely true that "All the Deadline does is flag
the task as time critical and limits its slack time" because other than that
the Deadline , in some specific cases(that I describe answering to Jan at

[HELP]: How to define project tasks for...

Posted: 26 Nov 2005 03:40 PM PST

Task duration is defined as the time period between the moment work is first
done on the task and work is complketed on the task. So how can it have a
known duration but unknown hours? If the task starts Jan 01, that means
someone shows up on Jan 01 and does some physical activity leading towards
the creation of whatever that task creates. If it ends on 31 Dec, that
means someone is in the office or on the job site physically present and
doing something that wraps up the last bit of work necessary to fonish
whatever the task creates. The duration is the time frame over which actual
work extends, NOT the time frame during which work might take place.

Overall cost for project

Posted: 24 Nov 2005 09:02 AM PST

Project doesn't "assign costs" to anything. It looks at what a resource
costs per hour, mutilplies that by the hours the resource is employed to do
the work that needs to be done, and totes it up. I think you're thinking of
a top-down budget where senior management says "this project will cost XX
dollars- see to it." But that's not the way Project works - in fact it's
completely ignorant of top-down budgeting. Instead it looks at the specific
work to be done and estimates how much it will cost to do it. One can hope
that the figure it computes will be less than the amount senior management
has allocated - if it's not, it's telling you it will be impossible to
finish the project within budget and it might be time to update your resume
<grin>. The baseline is NOT the figure management has handed you. It is
what you have estimated to be the actual cost to do the work. It is a
baseline in that you save it before actually starting work so you have a
reference point to compare actual expenses later on to see if you're
on-track or things are getting out of control.
