Problem updating date field

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:00 AM PST

I have a date field inserted into a header in a Word document.  When I try to update the field, either using F9 or by clicking on the field itself, the date always reverts to Jan-15.  Any clues as to what might be going on here?

Hyperlink text code

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 03:57 AM PST

When trying to insert a hyperlink into some text I keep getting this code coming up and I can't seem to get rid of it. I can't see any codes or macros running and can't get this to go back to the formatting it normally has. 

{HYPERLINK  "url here"}

How can I get rid of it?

Edit Word Documents in Read Mode Word 2013

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 03:17 AM PST

Is it just me or is the lack of an 'edit' funciton in Read mode really annoying? In previous versions of Word, you could edit in read mode.  Does anyone know if there is a work-around solution? I'm getting pretty fed up of having to go back to 'view' to edit documents every time I want to make a slight amend.

Microsoft Word letters are displaying as weird symbols.

Hi, my MS Word 2013 has had this weird glitch ever since I didn't use it for a period of a month or so. Is there a way to fix this or should I just delete and reinstall MS Office? Thanks for your help! (see attachment)

Changing default bullet in Word 2010 - 2013

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 02:09 AM PST

I asked my question on the Dutch community (here) but nobody seems to know the solution. I will try to explain it in English.

I am making the new Office templates for our company, however, there is still one problem. It seems impossible to change the default bullet in Word 2010 or 2013.


The problem is this:

In the new template, we want to align each enumeration with the text, as you can see in the picture: 

This is the case when I use the style "bullet list", which is already defined in the document, and apply it to a list. I also created a "new list with multiple levels" and it works when I use it to create a new enumeration. However, most users don't use a style or a list with multiple levels to create a summing-up. They just click the default bullet in the library bullets. And when you do, the text jumps further away. Not on the same line as the other text in the template.

Does someone know how I can change the default bullet in this template without using a work around (lists, style)? Maybe it is possible with VBA? At first I wanted to avoid VBA but if that is the only solution, then fine. But not everyone will need a list in the document so it must be a code that only works when the default bullet is used.

Thank you in advance for looking at this problem,

Greetings, 

Tessa

Corrupt Word Docs - cannot open

Posted: 09 Jan 2015 12:04 AM PST

I have spent that last 2 days reading the posts here and various online, whitepapers, and recovery docs from "leading" software / document recovery tools. Nothing is working but I still do not believe all is lost. Yes, my bad for not having a backup - that aside...

I had a workstation at my office that got infected. The employee was saving her Word 2010 docx's to her "My documents" folder instead of the "data drive". A "g-squad" type person came out, told me it could not be disinfected so he wiped the system and reloaded Win7. Not sure how he "wiped" it but I imagine he just deleted the partition on Win7 reload. I freaked when I saw he didnt backup the docs in the my doc folder before he reloaded, and he told me that was MY fault for not backing up... 

He popped in a CD and
said he was able to "find" the "digital image" of the docs on the harddrive. A few minutes later I had the Word file icons back on the desktop. I tried to open the docs and got the error: "...cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents" and "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened"

I have tried:
opening as a TXT
sending to GMAIL and trying recovery
tried "open/repair" option in Word
importing into many "web-based" html/xml processors
many other attempts 
So I have spent the last couple of days looking at MANY options. The best I can do is open the doc but I get a page of ASCII characters. Data recovery specialists in this city charge a LOT of money to do this, and I am pretty darn sure I can do the same as long as I had the proper tools. I have looked at a LOT of software but haven't purchased any yet. I have read MANY MANY posts here on EE, and have looked at many of those packages, way too many to list here but lets just say at least the top 20 "recommended" packages. They all say the same thing about recovering from NTFS, rebuilding the headers, etc, etc. but they all seem "consumer" in quality. 

Is purchasing a "recovery" software my ONLY choice?

Delete Sequence Field Code from entire document, Macro?

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 03:52 PM PST

So I have a document that has the following:

Figure #: 

The # representing the SEQ field code.  I want it to display without the number:

Figure:

What is the best way to quickly remove the numbering from over 100 instances of this format?

If the only way is a macro, I would appreciate the code to do so.

Thanks!
