Microsoft Word - Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Microsoft Word - Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Word 2013: Unable to insert jpg (jpeg) files

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 01:36 PM PST

I'm using Windows 8.1 and Word 2013.

I'm unable to insert jpg files into my Word document.

Here's what I did:

1. Chose the "Insert" tab and then "Illustrations". I clicked on the "Pictures" button.

2. An "Insert Picture" window popped up, asking me for the location of the jpg file.

3. I searched for the jpg file which resided locally on my machine, clicked on it and pressed the "Insert" button.

4. On my Word document, I saw there was a box with a frame. The frame was made up of small dashes with eight tiny grey-colored rectangles on its borders.

There was NO picture. The dimensions of the picture is 945x552 pixels, 96 dpi, 165 KB.

Lost a WORD DOC due to a power failure

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 10:40 AM PST

I was editing a WORD DOC that I'd saved before and we had a power failure. I know what folder it was saved in but not the file's name or even what word the name started with.

Surprisingly to me, when I restarted WORD after the power was restored, it popped a box telling me something about two open files that it had saved to ????? and offered to do something if I wanted to (I don't remember what that was all about).

So stupidly I said "NO" since I thought that any new DOCs that I'd started weren't that important. I never thought about it LOSING a previously Saved WORD DOC. 

But I've looked Like EVERYWHERE and can't find the thing. I'm pretty sure that since I know where to look I'd find it as I know how to search for certain words in file names and in their content.

This HELP page told me how to solve this but it hasn't. https://support.microsoft.com/kb/316951/en-us

I've done all 7 steps. The only one that still has me baffled is Method 5 >#5 where it says "Browse to the location that you saved the .tmp files, and then click All Files *.* . If you do not click All Files *.*, the .tmp files may not be displayed."
I've tried to figure out what that means and how to do it and I can't. I don't know where I'm supposed to click some All Files *.* thing.

Can I have some quick Help please?

Inserting comments visible in print without changing the pagination

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 09:32 AM PST

Hello,

I have made annotations (as inserted comments) on my thesis, which I will need to have with me for an exam. The page structure however needs to stay the same, and the right white margin of the page is not enough to contain these comments, thus they do not fit into the printed page.

Any suggestion what I can do to make room for those comments without changing the pagination of the doc, which needs to stay the same as it was before? Thanks!

WORD document appear not to respond to control-S

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 08:45 AM PST

My usual experience with control-S on an open WORD document shows a quick progress bar on the bottom edge of the display window. Another control-S does nothing, which makes sense since the content has just been saved, Exiting at this point does not result in the usual question "Do you want the contents saved?" which is now unnecessary since there have been no further changes,

I have some WORD documents, however, with which this doesn't happen. Control-S does not show the usual progress bar, only a momentary "busy" cursor. Repeated control-S repeats the "busy" cursor but show no progress bar. Exiting has the usual dialog even though no new changes were made after saving.

I am using Office 2010 on Windows 7. To repeat, this strange behavior is limited to a small number of my documents; most are normal.

Does anyone recognize this problem? I would appreciate some help!

VBA code to modify the (Name) property of an ActiveX Command Button

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 08:44 AM PST

Hello,

I have a Word 2010 Macro enabled document that contains two sets of ActiveX Command Buttons.  One set of buttons performs a spell check on specific sections of the document and then prints those same sections.  The other buttons add new pages to the document.

During the month of November, all the buttons worked perfectly.  During December, Microsoft applied an MS Office Security Update (KB2553154) which disabled all of my AxtiveX Command Buttons.  I have since learned at this site, thanks to Suzanne S. Barnhill , that Microsoft has created a workaround for this issue KB3025036 .  Our IT staff has applied the workaround to the necessary PCs.

After applying the workaround fix, most of the command buttons work again, but some of them don't.  In researching the problem, I discovered that the  (Name) Property for the buttons that are not working has been changed, thus when clicking on the button, the macro cannot be located because it has a different name than the button does.

For example, in one instance the original button (Name) was Print_Intake_Form, but the (Name) has now been changed to Print_Intake_Form1.  In another instance, the original button (Name) was Print_Intake_Form, but the (Name) has now been changed to Print_Intake_Form11. 

My idea for fixing this issue would be to create a macro that modifies the (Name) property for all the ActiveX buttons back to their original names.  If that seems like the best way to fix the issue, what VBA code woudl be needed to perform such a task?

If that is not the best way to resolve the issue, I am open to suggestions.

Thank you

Mark

How to Change Review Comment Author Name

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 07:44 AM PST

I'm on a new computer and moved from Word 2010 to Word 365. 

When I use the Review Tab to create a New Comment, the username is showing "Microsoft Account". If I click on the contact card it then shows my email.

How do I change this so the username is showing my name?

Word 2007 label printing issue

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 06:57 AM PST

Whenever I try to print 1 or more sheets of labels, Word forces my printer into "Manual Feed" mode. The printer is a Brother HL3170CDW laser printer. It never did this before. I used to be able to put the label sheets in the tray of the printer, tell Word to print all pages, and walk away while the labels printed. Now I have to stand there and manually feed label sheets. Regular Word docs print normally, it just seems to be a label printing issue. Anyone with any ideas?

Trying to get autocorrect to respect a new word

Posted: 10 Jan 2015 06:12 AM PST

I am concerned that I am asking a question that has been answered, since it seems likely others face the same issue, but I can't find it. So apologies in advance.

I use autocorrect. When I type in the abbreviation EHR for "electronic health record" the autocorrect function insists on fixing it to HER. I have to go back and un-correct this each time I use it. I have asked autocorrect to ignore capitalized words, and I have added EHR to my custom dictionary. Neither had any effect. Can one of you tell me what I should do, other than turn off autocorrect, which is generally pretty helpful.
