Word 2010 Multi-level lists

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:05 PM PST

I am formatting a large document, 95-100 pages.  I have set up styles for headers.

Header 1 = 1 Title

Heading 2 = 1.2 Title

Heading 3 = 1.2.1 Title

I was able to get to heading 3 without any problems, when I got to 3 it wouldn't continue numbering, and took 3 to be like 8, so then I tried to change the list level manually and it changed all the headings to 3, 3.1 3.1.1. etc... I removed all formatting from heading 1 and tried to just use bullets multilevels but it still doesn't recognize the change in level 3. 

How do I fix this?  

^g graphic wildcard is not recognized

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 02:29 PM PST

I have a problem with the ^g wildcard in the search engine: when I try to use it in my query, it says that it isn't a valid wildcard. This even though when I select "graphic" from the "special" menu, it put exactly ^g into my string. Someone knows how to solve this problem (or the right wildcard to search graphic elements)?

Bug in Word 1.5

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 02:07 PM PST

I received a document in my email. When trying to open in my iPad (with Word 1.4) everything went smoothly. But when opening in my iPhone (Word 1.5) I received and error.

Since then I tried a number of combinations: uninstalled 1.5 and installed version 1.4 in the iPhone, everything worked great. Updated iPad to version 1.5, no more opening this specific file.

After the file is opened in 1.4 and saved inside IOS Word, it opens in 1.5 too.

 I Tried the solution posted in this link, it didn't work: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_mobile-word/office-for-ipad-has-a-critical-bug-in-latest/220db336-51e6-4eb7-8c06-1f98d29623da

Hello,

I have created a long locked Word form.

The users of the Form are asking me if it is possible to use the MS Word Find feature to locate both text they have typed in form fields as well as text that is outside the form fields.

Is this possible?

Thank you

Word 2010 form objects out of sync with VBA objects

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:55 AM PST

I have a Word 2010 template with VBA code to populate the form fields. Word 2010 is installed on blade servers in a Terminal Services environment. Here is my problem.

My template with the object names in the text boxes:

Here is my VBA code:

Private Sub Document_New()

    DateTextBox.Text = Format(Date, "mm/dd/yyy")

End Sub

Here is what happen when the template is opened:

The ClientID text box is populated instead of the Date text box.

How do I fix this issues in my templates?

Word 2013 inserts page 3 in header

Is it possible to create a TOC using Section Numbers rather than Page Numbers?

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:34 AM PST

I'm familiar with creating TOCs and use of styles, but a colleague has asked if it's possible to create a TOC that displays the section number, rather than the usual page numbering. Their document consists of a large number of sections, each with their own header & footer and each one restarting page numbering at 1. It doesn't then make sense to create a "normal" TOC to refer to, as every page number is 1!

The heading styles used in each section don't necessarily contain numbered lists. Would it be possible to create a TOC style that contains section numbering for example...?

TIA,

Amanda

Set Max Length of Text Field in Word 2013 Fill-able Form

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:31 AM PST

The legacy fields allowed a way to set the max length (Example: if I did state  - I could set it to 2 and they could only put in CT - not Connecticut or Conn, etc)

The legacy fields are no longer there and I cannot see a way to do it with the new fields.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. 

Memorize Repeated Text

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:15 AM PST

I use certain abbreviations repeatedly in my work.  I want to cut down the number of times I have to type them during the day.  In other word processing software, I could "memorize" the text and assign it to a particular keystroke.  How do I do it in Word 365?

Sharing address book in Outlook 365

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:53 AM PST

Hi,

situation:

Secretary has Access (read/write/change) to boss' Mailbox, including contacts. She sees contacts in her Outlook Client and can Change, add delete them.

Sometimes she has to write letters to the boss' contacts with word. In Word there is the function to insert addresses right out of the address book into documents or envelops (in the Mailing section).

But when using this feature the secretary only sees her own and the global address book, not the address book of her boss.

I already tried to set the boss' address book as e-mail address book in properties, but there is no such option for this item.

I also recognized that the Email Button that is visible in the ribbon when I see the personal contacts disappears when clicking on the boss' address book.

Does anyone have an idea to import occasionaly single addresses from a shared address book into word documents easily?

Thanks

Regards

Specific documents will not print

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:14 AM PST

Hello,

I have a client computer that is having print issues from Word 2010.  At her location they use two Toshiba eStudio 556 copier that are set to private print. When she sends a group of documents to the printer to be retrieved later, sometimes not all of the documents will be waiting for her at the printer to be retrieved.  According to windows, the job is sent and shows up in the queue but it is not at the printer.  When we recreate the document by copy and pasting the text to a new blank document, it prints fine.  Also, when the job is sent to the other copier, that is using the same driver and is the same model, it shows up just fine.

This is a confusing issue that I have encountered in the past but was only able to solve by reinstalling Windows and Office.  I am hoping that there is an easier fix that I am missing.  I have tried running a repair on Office, changing the print drivers, and changing the document template.  If anyone else has experienced this and has a different fix, help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

HIDDEN SCROLL BARS IN OFFICE 2013

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 05:06 AM PST

I find the hidden scroll bar in office 2013 annoying.  I have to search for the scroll bar and then locate the slider every time I am working on documents.  When the scroll bar disappears it does not turn over that space to the document so in my opinion this is just a needless feature the included just to sell another version of office.  Anything the increases the work to do a task should never make it into the product.

So anyway, how can you disable the hiding scroll bars so they are always visible when working in office 2013.

Office 2013 is not user friendly

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 04:05 AM PST

Hi there,

I tried the trail version of Office 2013 suite and very disappointed as it goes back to the horrible sharp/square look with no round edges, ie; no Aero features" it is way too hard on the eyes when you are on it all day at work for 8 to 10 hours Mon-Fri. On my personal computer is sooooooooooooooo much better with the aero features.

My question,

if I upgrade to Office 2013 from 2010, how do I (or can I) turn on the Aero feature on all my Office Suite??

Cheers,

Barry

Unspecified error while opening word documents with math equations

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:54 AM PST

Help! My file is corrupted! Unspecified error location part /word/document.xml

I've been working on a math assignment, but when I try to open it, Word staunchly refuses. The error message reads "We're sorry. We can't open mathass1.docx because we found a problem with it's contents."

Details read "Unspecified Error. Location: Part/word/document.xml Line 2, Column 0".

I've scoured the internet for a fix. Most involve unzipping the file, and editing the xml file. The fix has not worked for me.

I´ve also seen tried a fix which should edit the end and the beginning of the document, but that doesnt work either, since its not the problem.

It´s not the first time my users have experienced the problem so I really would apprecieate any working solutions.

Best Regards

Hidden Text and Bookmarks

Posted: 21 Jan 2015 06:40 PM PST

I'm working on a complex form that has many sections which are toggled between hidden and visible as the user completes questions. The questions are in Content Controls and the sections are defined as bookmarks.

The problem I'm having is with one of the sections. The bookmark for each section includes the Page Break before it, so when they are hidden, there are no blank pages. This works for all but one of the sections. The one that is not working happens to be the first one after the questions.

Whether I use VBA or simply hide the bookmarked text using the Font dialog, there is always a blank page when this section is hidden. As I can't find a way to display page breaks but not hidden text and the display of hidden text using the dotted underline doesn't display under the page breaks, I can't see whether there's one left or not.

Can anyone suggest where to look to resolve this. I've tried removing all the page breaks and bookmarks and recreating them with no success. I've tried changing the bookmarks to include the page break at the end of the section instead of the one at the start and it makes no difference.

Thanks

Gordon
