Unexpected way of deleting Word form

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 12:53 PM PST

Hello:

I created a word form template, and protected it by clicking Group > Group. I then opened an instance of the template, and placed the cursor at the beginning of the form and clicked Delete to test that the form was protected. Imaging my surprise when the entire form was highlighted, and deleted entirely when I clicked Delete again.

The above does not happen when you click somewhere else first, and then click at the beginning of the file and press Delete. However, it happens every time you click Ctrl+A and then Delete.

Is this normal behavior? I thought that "protected" meant "protected".

Thanks,

Hans L

How to get popup

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 12:19 PM PST

I have the opposite problem. I select text, the mini menu show up, but before I can use it, (maybe if I move my mouse out of the selection), it may disappear. How can I get it back without having to reselect?

VBA-Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 12:11 PM PST

'VBA-Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex' keeps introducing itself into my Word 2003 document somehow so that I have to either save it or undo it. I don't know what it is and as far as I know, I didn't call for it. Is there a keyboard shortcut I pressed by accident, and how do I get it to stop?

Save As folders for Word all pointing to my Documents folder

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:57 AM PST

I click Save As in Word to save a new document and select a Recent Folder.  No matter which Recent Folder I select it continues to load the Save File dialog for my local Documents folder.  It doesn't matter if I'm trying to save to One Drive locations or local folder locations, it always loads the Save File dialog for my local Document folder.  

Additionally, If I open an existing document and click Save As and select a Recent Folder I am always presented with the Save File dialog for the original location of the document.

In both cases I am forced to manually navigate to the location where I desire to save the file.  

The Save As functionality is working correctly for Powerpoint and Excel. 

I also noticed that the mouse cursor is spinning (indicating processing) when not on the Save File dialog while the Save File dialog is open in Word.  In Power Point and Excel the mouse cursor reverts back to it's default state.

Any ideas?

Replacing ^w^p with ^p fails

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:34 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I'm having the same sort of problem, which I encounter periodically while using Word 2010. This time, I have Track Changes off and and am attempting to do a find and replace of ^w^p to ^p. Find works but replace does nothing. I've tried draft view and print layout view, and have tried selecting the parts of the document with extra whitespace and accepting changes before trying it, but nothing helps.

Sorting of identical index entries that use different \t switches

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:20 AM PST

I have an index in which I want to refer to (1) the page number and (2) the last number of a certain sequence.


Adopting the approach described at http://word.tips.net/T001580_Including_Section_Numbers_in_an_Index.html, I use the \t switch of the index entry to specify the page (using the field "{ PAGE }") and the last number of the sequence "mysequence" using "{SEQ mysequence \c}".


A sample index entry therefore looks like this:

{ XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }


So far so good; the problem occurs if there are multiple occurrences of the same keyword: the page numbers are sorted in the incorrect (reverse) order.


For example if I have

- on page 2 at sequence number 23: { XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }

- on page 5 at sequence number 102: { XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }


I would expect to get the following index (using "{ INDEX \e " " \c "2" \z "3079" }"):

keyword......................................2:23, 5:102

Instead I get:

keyword......................................5:102, 2:23

I would be tremendously grateful if anybody could help me out.

Best regards & many thanks in advance,

Lukas

inserting a multi-page Word document as object into Outlook

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 10:34 AM PST

File size is HUGE from images

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 09:46 AM PST

I have inserted two images (with total file size of 1.1 MB) as cover and title page of a document. The doc now has a file size of  39 MG, and is unwieldy to work on, to say the least!

I separated the file into "Cover and Title" and "the rest of the doc" to facilitate editing, but will eventually need to combine them.

I made sure the "do not compress images" box is unchecked.

(I originally inserted  raw images, then used some of Word's image tools to modify....which resulted in a file size of 56 MB and did not print the text on these two pages when saving to PDF!!!!! I then pasted the "modified" images into an image editing program and reduced the file sizes to 639 KB and 469 KB. I inserted these two into a new file, which, as stated above, now is 39 MB.)

It seems I must be missing something, or doing something wrong.  Is there any help for this?

Thank you :)

Word 2010, normal.dotm

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 07:14 AM PST

Hi,

I'm very familiar with personal.xlsm in excel. 
I have my own macros in it, it is opened automatically each time I start Excel.

Similarly, I want to
- create my own Word macros, assigning them to "ctrl+shift+letter" combinations  
- to be able to have them in hand each time I launch Word.
I tried some time but I could not succeed.
How can I do this, if it is possible.

I'm using Win 8.1, Office 2010.

Thanks and regards;

Email merge Word 2010 and Google Mail. Have emails been sent? How can I check?

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 07:02 AM PST

I'm trying to send email using MailMerge in Word 2007 and Google Mail.  In Word, it looks like the emails have gone, but nothing shows up in my Google Mail.  How can I tell if the emails actually were sent?

(I actually use Windows 7 Home Premium)

I have Microsoft office 2013 in windows 7 and dragon naturally speaking 11. It gets stuck all the time

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 06:38 AM PST

Dragon was working perfectly until about 1 month ago. 

Recently it started to stop working after a few documents, it becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the computer. 

Initially the computer told me at restart that there were problems with the add in and it was going to be disabled.

The add in was disabled. I enable it every time I turn on my computer, but the problem occurs again and again with both dragon and word becoming unresponsive.

I started working with the dictation box (much less comfortable), but today, it also got stuck twice!

Is there an update to fix a bug? Could there be a problem with MCaffee, which I installed recently too?

Get the table index of a content control

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:45 AM PST

Hi,

I have a Word document with several tables, n rows, 6 columns. The fifth column contain in each cell a content control (combobox)

Depending on the selected item, I want to color that cell. Using the following code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
   ''' table 1 is networking, table 2 is security analysis
   Dim oRng As Word.Range
   Dim intRow As Integer, intCol As Integer
  
   Set oRng = ContentControl.Range
   intRow = oRng.Cells(1).RowIndex
   intCol = oRng.Cells(1).ColumnIndex
  
   Select Case ContentControl.Range.Text
      Case "OK"
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -704577639
      Case "N/A"
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -603930625
      Case Else ''' clear contents
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -654246093
   End Select
End Sub

What I would add:

- In case "OK", add the date into the cell on the same row, column 6.

- For the other options, clear the contents of the cell in column 6.

I tried to figure out how to find the table index but I am get stuck. Any idea how to get the index? Thanks for your time.

MS Word Mail Merge via DDE Problem

Posted: 07 Jan 2015 04:02 PM PST

I have a problem with a Mail Merge Document I have created whereby when I complete the merge it throws out the error the Word could not open the data source.

However, this problem only seems to occur when the sheet is loaded with data to merge across. If the excel document is only half-full this does-not occur. There are no other variables and I have tested to high heaven.

You can tell it is about to fail because when successful it opens the Workbook and leaves it open in the background, if it is going to fail it opens it but then closes and asks you if want to save any changes even though none have been made?

I am using DDE because all other MS Excel Merge methods limit the volume of characters that can be merged per field and also the number of fields that can be merged and I have 162 merge fields.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem. It is not a Computer issue because the same issue occurs across multiple machines.

We are using Office 365 for business.

Thanks

Blurry Images from Word to .pdf

Posted: 07 Jan 2015 03:48 PM PST

I am using Word 2013. I have been reading the responses to this issue in earlier versions, and am hoping for some updated information.

I am required to create the document using Word, and also to output to .pdf using the "save as PDF"  feature (the "print to PDF" feature, which offers resolution options, does not maintain live hyperlinks.)  I have checked the "Do not compress images in file" in the Advanced Options area, as indicated in previous responses. 

However, one response referred to some settings in the "Save as PDF" dialog box that I do not find. The only options available refer to document info and bookmarks.

I need to use a small, crisp lined, logo (less than 1/2") in the header of a long document. It looks GREAT in Word, but terrible in PDF.

Any help for me before I tear ALL of my hair out?

Thanks for any and all :)
