Microsoft Word - Document created differs from template

Microsoft Word - Document created differs from template

Document created differs from template

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:04 PM PST

I have a template

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=CAD78704467531B3%21155

which is set up to print the file name and path in the footer on page two and later (you'll have to create a page two to see).

On page two and later the document footer only contains the file name.  The path is missing.

Why?

Thanks

I downloaded a trial version of office 365 for school.  In word and now power point, when I click on themes, I don't get all the color choices. I only get 9 and there's many more that. How come I don't have them? I'm suppose to do some projects for school and I don't have the themes that are required.

Merged field in header does not replicate on subesequent pages

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 01:02 PM PST

I have created a document with merge fields in the header. The document is two pages long, and the first page header is different than the second page. After executing the merge, I add more text to the final merged document, and now the document is three pages long. Instead of the field in my header on third page duplicating the merged text that appears on the second page, it shows the field name.

Merged document - 2nd Page

Ronald Smith M.D.| Snapshot Profile | Page 2 of 3

Merged document - 3rd Page

«PREF_MAIL_NAME»| Snapshot Profile | Page 3 of 3

Any way around this? Thank you!

Restrict editing- create a read-only document that others can save as and then edit

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 11:43 AM PST

My goal- Have a protected legal document that only I can edit with a password.  Yet others can open it and view it.  If they want to then create a new document based on mine (using Save As), they should be able to do that without having to enter my password.

The problem- I have protected my document using the restrict editing function.  When I want to edit it any part of it I have to enter the password to unprotect.  That is fine.  However, when someone else opens it, saves it as a new document, then tries to use it as a template (edit it), they also need my password to do so.  This defeats the purpose.

Is there a way around this?

How to insert organized and good looking photos?

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:57 AM PST

Hi

Years ago I was adviced to use tables to help organize the photos I add to my Word documents and so I've done since then, usually in 2 columns. The problem I have is that the cells on the table tend to distort when I add a photo, they extend and contract and seem to leave some empty spaces on the borders of the photos.

So is there a way I can have the size of the cells fixed? Other advice regarding margins, etc is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

How to create a macro in a word 2010 document that uses content controls and grouping instead of protecting it

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:20 AM PST

I have a form where I created a macro button in the Quick Access toolbar that will delete whatever section the cursor is in. It unlocked and ungroups the content controls in that section and then deletes it and the form goes back out of developer mode. I need to do this unlocking in order to insert a section that I saved as an AutoText so the user can re-insert certain sections if needed. I just don't know the code to be able to make it work. Right now, all it does is switch the form into developer mode. It won't insert my AutoText and go out of developer mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my code I got when recording the steps that I want to do. It just isn't working.

Office 2013 themes missing

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 09:04 AM PST

I now have a total of only 9 themes in Office 2013.  In the past there were dozens.  I teach a class on Microsoft Office and when students are asked to use a certain theme, they aren't finding them.  What happened?

Default Personal Templates vs. User Templates

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:09 AM PST

Someone wrote to me about the "Default Personal Templates" designation vs. the "User Templates" location. This was after reading Templates in Microsoft Word .

"The whole reason I'm reading your tutorial (and searching the web, unsuccessfully), is to learn what the difference/relationship is between File/Options/Save/'Default personal templates location:' and File/Options/Advanced/File Locations/'User Templates'"

The Default Personal Templates location was introduced with Word 2013 / 365 to cure what I feel was a defect in Word 2007-2010 where the default save location for new templates was the document save location.

I believe that the former is, under the Options > Save dialog, a default location to save new user templates. The second is the location that is where the normal.dotm template is stored/created.

My general preference would be to have these be the same location.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Here are the option screens involved.

I have an HP Pavilion DM4-3050us laptop which is running Windows 7.  Whenever I create a document in Word 2010, save the document, and try to close Word, I get the following message:  Changes have been made that affect the global template Normal.dotm.  Do you want to save those messages.  I then have a Save, Don't Save, or Cancel button to click on.  How do  resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Save a Document with Collapsed Headings

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have created a Word document that contains collapsible headings. I want all of the headings to be collapsed when opening the document, but I can't seem to save the document this way. No matter how I save, all of the sections are expanded when I first open the document.

Is there a setting where I can change the default to "Collapse All Headers on Open"?

Thanks for your help!

Repeating section, content controls, and restrict editing not working as expected in Office 2013

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:50 AM PST

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Create a table with multiple columns and rows containing content controls (the mix of controls doesn't matter--my example uses text boxes and combo boxes).
  2. Select the table and make it a repeating section.
  3. Restrict editing to Filling in forms.
  4. Save the file as a template (dotx).
  5. Open an instance and attempt to select any of the content controls for editing. You will be unable to.
  6. Select a non-content control item, for example, the ITEM TYPE label shown above. You will be able to edit the text.
  7. Open the template for editing and turn off Restrict Editing.
  8. Open an instance performing the same test as above. Everything works as expected.

This is a fairly high priority issue. We (and many other corporations I am personally aware of) are in the midst of replacing all of our InfoPath forms (with it being deprecated in the future) with Word forms. Obviously, repeating sections as well as working document protections are key. Currently, I have a programmatic work-around but would prefer not to go that route as it adds substantially to form maintenance costs over time.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Cant open MS word 97 with office xp professional 2002 in windows 8.1

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:40 AM PST

Just bought a Lenovo laptop with windows 8.1. I have installed MS office xp professional version 2002 (which Im told is compatible) but whenever I receive a MS word 2007 document it converts to docx and only opens as symbols. As I have quite a few folk who email me documents in this format it is becoming a problem. Any ideas?

Proofing tools not working on freshly installed Win 7 and Office 365

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:18 AM PST

OK, so I have a really strange problem with the proofing tools so I'll try to describe what happened it in detail.

1) Running Windows 7 and Office 365 proofing tools suddenly stopped working. Later - for other reasons - I did a clean reinstall of Windows. (I'm not sure how relevant this information is.)

2) On the freshly installed Win 7 SP1 64-bit I installed the en-us version of Office 365 ProPlus 64-bit. I have downloaded the 64-bit proofing tools for German, Hungarian and Italian but none of them worked. (Symptoms: in language preferences the spell check is "not installed". However, in the language selection window e.g. in Word the little abc tick is present next to these languages.)

3) Probably this was a real bad idea but I tried installing the 32-bit proofing tools for German. No changes.

4)  Completely uninstalled each proofing tool and Office. Reinstalled Office 32-bit and 32-bit proofing tools. They still didn't work. 

5) Removed proofing tools and installed the German, Hungarian and Italian versions of Office 32-bit. Spell checking was alright for all of these languages, except for German.

6) The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\de-de is not present. I uninstalled everything and deleted all registry keys I could find for the proofing in hu, de and it. 

7) Reinstalled Office 64-bit en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools worked only for the languages included in the English language pack. Uninstalled everything.

8) Reinstalled Office 32-bit. en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools work fine, except for the German one, again.

Notes: Neither online repair nor quick repair fixed the problems. Uninstalls ran with either Iobit Uninstaller or this Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501.

I googled this issue for days but I couldn't find any solution. My only guess is that the previously installed proofing tools interfere with the Office suites in some way but I can't figure out what's wrong. I would be also quite pleased if the simple proofing tools worked, I don't really need Office in three languages. The strange thing is that they actually stopped working before I reinstalled the whole Windows so maybe some corrupt files are being synchronized with my account. I looked at the Office files in AppData/Roaming but they seem normal to me. 

I would be really thankful if you could provide me some help with this problem because the German spell check is actually the one I need the most. 

Thank you!

How to format sample code in Microsoft Word 2013 so that when exported to .mht HTML, it will copy-and-paste nicely into a Unix terminal session

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:04 AM PST

I'm working on tidying up some hands-on instructions for an internal class in how to use my company's software. The instructions are written by number of authors, in Microsoft Word 2013, and are then exported to HTML or Microsoft 'Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml)' format. It's horrible, ugly HTML, but it is very easy for the authors (who are technical but not primarily web developers!) to create richly formatted, non-editable documents for the hands-on instructions.

I have a problem with blocks of sample code in the resulting .mht documents. The authors format these blocks of code (in Word) to look like code at a Unix command prompt, or in a UNIX script. When saved to .mht, they retain their formatting (at the expense of rather bloated HTML), and students attending the class are meant to copy fragments of code from the resulting .mht doc, and paste it into a Unix terminal window, either at a command prompt, or into a text editor such as vi.

But most of the time, for every line of text/sample code in the Word/.mht doc, they get two lines - *that line plus one extra blank line* - in the pasted text in the terminal window. For example, some code which is shown in the Word doc like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    some command
    another command

...ends up looking like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    some command
    
    another command

It's no big deal for 3-line code fragments, but it's a major pain in the proverbial for anything much over 10 lines - the students can only see half the usual amount of code on screen at a time, and it's all interspersed with pointless blank lines!

The cause seems to be related to the way Word converts text to HTML in the .mht file. (If you copy-and-paste the text direct from the Word doc into a Unix prompt, it pastes just fine, without gaining unwanted blank lines). However, in the .mht file, every line in the original Word doc ends up as a separate paragraph tag (<p>line</p>) in the .mht HTML, and Word seems to add an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each, which I'm pretty sure is the bit responsible for the extra, unwanted blank line after each original line.

I've tried editing the original text block in Word, replacing the Paragraph character (¶) at the end of each 'line' (so, each line is really a paragraph in Word's view of the doc) with a 'Manual Line Break'. When copied-and-pasted directly from the Word doc into the Unix terminal window, this still pastes nicely (as it did with a Paragraph Mark ¶ at the end of each line), but when the doc is saved as .mht, the resulting HTML in that format still has each line as a separate paragraph (<p>line</p>), still with an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each one. When this is copied and pasted into the terminal window, the student still gets blank lines.

Any suggestions as to how I can format the text in word to:
a.) still look approximately like code in a terminal window (font, background color, indent formatting applied)
b.) when exported to .mht, be represented with something like <span>line</span> tags, and without the extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each line so that one line of text in the doc results in one line of text in the terminal window?

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Disable printing of an picture with picture content controls (switching the picture)

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:40 PM PST

Hello,

in a letter with an logo I want to disable the printing of that logo sometimes.
The only way I have found so far is using picture content controls. One with the logo and an empty one. What is the simplest way to switch between the two overlaid content controls?

Should be simple for the user (not just "send to background/foreground" via the context menu) - e. g. a button. Any hints are highly appreciated.

Many thanks and greetings
