How do I make sure other people see all Tracked Changes in a particular document?

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 03:23 PM PST

Split from this thread.

I'm running into the same trouble, but on the other party of our contracts. For example, we comment/track changes, but we have no way to make sure that they open the file such that they can see the changes we've made (not everyone is responsible enough to make sure they don't miss these things). Do you know of a way to force comment visibility/all markup in a particular document?

Want to change the "Theme Fonts" across all applications in Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 02:06 PM PST

Is there any way to change the Theme Fonts for all of the Office applications at once?   I managed to change them on the normal template in Word,, but when I try to do a blog post, it reverts to Calibri Light for headings, and Calibri for the body.  I want to use Veranda, and Garamond  in all of the Office Applications, Outlook, Word, Excel and Power Point, as my default heading and body font.

If it involves editing Windows registry, I'm not afraid of doing that.

Further information, I need to do this process on two machines, both are running Windows 8.1, and have all current updates.

Thanks in advance.

MS word 2010 wrapping issue to page 2

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 01:32 PM PST

I'm using MS Word 2010 I created a new document finshed typing to the end of the 1st page and continue to the 2nd page.  The problem is the 2nd does not show up unless I place a page break at the bottom of the 1st page.  I am using standard formatting.  There is only text and some bullets within the document.  I need help to determine why the 2nd page will not display or the word text will not auto wrap to page 2.  Does anyone have any ideas even where to look to see what the issue may be?  I have turned on the paragraph markers to see where I am in the document, once at the bottom of the page and doing a return nothing displays, as I would only have a 1 page document. 

Maybe my word is corrupt and I need to re-install.  I am hoping that someone by be able to give me an idea on how to fix.


Thanks for all of your help.

Style only change certain Attributes

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 11:16 AM PST

I would like to use a style which gives me a light gray background and a border for code samples. However it should not touch the colors of the code. My Office behaves very weird here. Sometimes it just changes the colors, sometimes it does exactly what i want. Here are some samples:

The type of the style is set to linked so it should usually...

Any ideas what i could have done wrong?

Word 2013 Featured Templates - change display

Word header numbering failure

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:45 AM PST

In creating a series of documents, I set up the styles for Header 1 through Header 4 with indents and numbering. Header 2 through 4 DO NOT restart numbering when used as follows:

1. Heading 1

    A. Heading 2

        (1) Heading 3

    B. Heading 2

        (2) Heading 3

2. Heading 1

    C. Heading 2

I expect the heading 2 to restart as A after a new heading level 1 and Heading 2 to restart as (1) after a new heading level 2.

In addition I set the hanging indent from a 0.25 to a 0.3 to create the proper spacing for heading number greater than one digit. When I manually change the numbering from (2) Heading 3 to (1) Heading 3 using the number/start numbing at feature the style for that single element changes back to the original hanging indent of 0.25 and each occurrence must be changed individually since the style still shows the correct 0.03 indent.

Footnotes not printing correctly

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:39 AM PST

This problem just recently started and I don't know what's changed. I have been trying to print documents with footnotes at the bottom of the page. I have custom sized pages at 8.5 x 5.5 and I have it formatted to restart the numbering (letters) on each page. Everything looks correct on my print layout view and print preview pages. However, when I actually print, the footnote lettering becomes continuous and does not restart on each page. All the drivers and software on my printer are up to date and all diagnostics check out. It used to print correctly but for some reason it's not printing correctly anymore.

Is there a fix for this?

Document Protection turning on

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:10 AM PST

Recently, when I click save or use CTRL-S, spell check pops up.  When I cancel it, the protect document property is turned on.  Sometimes the spell checker will pop up even when I'm not working directly in the document.  Again, if I cancel it, the document gets protected.  It is intermittent so I can't replicate it on demand. Has anyone encountered this behavior?

Word Template

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 08:43 AM PST

I have a fill-in form template in Word 2010 that I created for users to fill out in our department.  There are several fields that have visual basic when you leave that field it will automate another field.  The form works perfectly except when I give the template to other users, the visual basic does not run.  It appears that I created the visual basic in the normal.dot template.  How can I make this work for other users? 

Any help with this would be appreciated!!

AutoCorrect acting funny

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 05:47 AM PST

Hi,

I have a problem. I have Word 2010, been using AutoCorrect successfully for ages now, and for some reason today I noticed that it started to correct into the wrong characters. For example, a smiley face :) turned into the greek letter theta, an arrow turned into a box with a question mark. What happened?!

Thanks!

split document based on delimiter while keeping the formats such as fonts, size, colors underlines and etc

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 01:09 AM PST

                                                           
Hello 

I came across below VBA to split a document into multiple documents based on delimiters

My delimiter is "/new/"

Anyways, It works fine but when creating multiple documents, 

It does so without all the settings, just like copying from Words to notepad (.TXT file) 

Could anybody have a look at below code and modify it to do the job with the setting intact?

Thanks!

Below is the code


Sub SplitNotes(delim As String, strFilename As String)
    Dim Doc As Document
    Dim arrNotes
    Dim i As Long
    Dim X As Long
    Dim Response As Integer

    arrNotes = Split(ActiveDocument.Range, delim)

    Response = MsgBox("This will split the document into " & UBound(arrNotes) + 1 & " sections. Do you wish to proceed?", 4)
    If Response = 7 Then Exit Sub
    For i = LBound(arrNotes) To UBound(arrNotes)
        If Trim(arrNotes(i)) <> "" Then
            X = X + 1
            Set Doc = Documents.Add
            Doc.Range = arrNotes(i)
           ' Doc.SaveAs ThisDocument.path & "\" & strFilename & Format(X, "000")
  ^^ this is the original code won;t work on me so modified it a bit as below. if anybody can fix this as well, it would be much appreciated.


  ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Users\administrator\Desktop\docs\"
  Doc.SaveAs2 FileName:=strFilename & Format(X, "000"), FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles _
        :=True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
        :=True, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=True, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=14



            'doc.Close True
        End If
    Next i
End Sub


Sub test()
     '      delimiter & filename
    SplitNotes "/new/", "notes "
End Sub

Dutch proofing tools not working

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 11:48 PM PST

Hi

I have a user who has recently had Office upgraded to Office 2013 click to run. He is based in The Netherlands and asked for the Dutch proofing tool to be installed. We have installed this to other users without any issues however this user is having an issue with the grammar and thesaurus not working.

Office has been reinstalled and an online repair has taken place as well as reinstalling the Dutch proofing tool again but the issue still persists.

Is there anything you can suggest to make it work?

Thanks

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:53 PM PST

I tried changed the normal styles through 'manage styles' and change the NORMAL style to Arial and font 10 and I make sure I clicked "New documents based on this template".  After i closed and program and reopen, the normal style turned back to Calibri 11.  I tried search for the normal.dotm but I can't find it.  How can I permanently update my word to start with Arial 10? I have the same problems with Excel too. Please help.

I need a 6 figure code to talk to a Microsoft technician to get remote assistance where is it?

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:26 PM PST

I had lost Word  when I typed "Delete from the beginning of time"(Deleting History in Chrome

Lenovo reinstalled my Windows 8.1 and Printer

But I'm having a problem getting Word back from Microsoft.

It's obvious if one looks at my screen that I have many documents which I made through Word prior to this crash.

However, the documents are no longer Word documents--they've become Office documents, even though I never requested Office.

Word, along with Lenovo, was a Christmas gift from 2013.  My nephew emailed me the product code

But Microsoft said this isn't the code.

So I'm prepared to try Remote assistance with a technician.  I've already given Microsoft permission to take screen shots

now with remote assistance, I hope this technician will see that my documents are all frozen in office.

I cannot open any of them.

Microsoft thinks my family never bought Word

(My nephew, by the way, is a computer engineer)

Microsoft is asking me to enter a 6 digit code in order to work with this technician

I don't see where this code is--but I need this 6 digit code.

I Word is part of Office, how can Word have disappeared if my documents are in Office?

 

Continuous Page Numbering in sections

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 06:50 PM PST

How do I keep continuous page numbering when I have a section break? I created a list into 2 columns in the middle of a page. The next page says it is section 3 and the page number starts at 2. If I go into the page number reformatting and have it start on the next number  which is 17, it shows 18. Please help. I am using Word 2013 and there are no current responses for this version.

Word 2010 Mailmerge Labels - but ask operator to pick which label position to start with

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 05:39 PM PST

I have created a Word 2010 Mailmerge template for Avery 5164 Shipping labels (2x3 per page).  It works fine when the operator has 6 or more data records.  We don't like wasting label stock.  So when the operator wants to print, say 2 labels, starting at position 3, how can I prompt him/her to indicate which position to start with?  Thanks for any advice.

Office Word Issues / Problems.......

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 03:15 PM PST

Okay, whew......this is so frustrating.  After a recent Office update, I am now experiencing some major issues with Word.

Let me start out by saying that I am an avid Microsoft consumer.  But lately I am questioning this loyalty.  I have never had so many problems with a Microsoft product as I am now with Office / Word.  None of the earlier versions of Word did this, and why it is happening now I have absolutely no idea.  When Microsoft makes an update, or comes out with a new version of a product, they should improve on what is already there - not change the product so it doesn't work; I'm just saying.

This is the problem that I am having:

  • When I set the margins on a Word document - Office gives me a dialog box saying that one of my margins isn't correct, do I want Office to change it.  WHAT?  No, I don't !!  When I set the margins, that's where I want them.......
  • When I set up a document then go to print it, part of my document is missing.  When I click on print, I then get a dialog box stating that part of the document is out of printing range.  WHAT?  How can part of my document be out of printing range when there is enough margin room?
  • Lastly, I downloaded an envelope from Office templates that was an elegant envelope with a design on the left side of the envelope.  I've used this envelope template for years.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to print, half of the design is missing.  The only way that I can get the design back is to make the left margin bigger.  This only makes the design and the return address look awkward because it's like in the middle of the envelope.  WHAT?  WHY??

Oh, and I have checked with my printer (HP), and everything is fine there.  It prints what Word sends to it. 

I would like to have my Office / Word be like it used to be - printing what I want to print, with the margins I set, and the printing area being what I decide it should be......!!

Please help.  This is truly frustrating me to no end.

Thank you

WORD 2010 field codes quandary.....

Posted: 26 Jan 2015 11:19 PM PST

Hi all

I have added a validation list as a field with several selection options. I have also bookmarked this field with the name "SERVICE".

When I create a field in another part of the document, I am using this expression:  { IF SERVICE = "CONSTRUCTION" "X" "Y" }

CONSTRUCTION is a valid selection item in the field bookmarked "SERVICE", however I am getting a result of "Y" when I expect "X".

Anyone know what I am doing wrong??

Thanks
