How do I change endnote numbering to numbers?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 02:44 PM PST

I have recently started using endnotes for a large document.  I expected the end notes and the references to them would be numbers (1, 2, 3,...), but instead they are Latin letters (i, ii, iii, etc.).

I tried to change the endnote reference style, but it had no option for changing the numbering scheme.

I tried to play around with list numbering, but nothing seemed to apply to endnotes.

Am I stuck with Latin numbering for endnotes, or is there a way around this that I haven't thought of yet?

Thanks in advance.

I have set my "spaces after sentence" to 2.  Now how do I set the "spaces after colon or semi-colon"?

Linking Excel Objects to a Word document

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 12:05 PM PST

I'm trying to link information from an Excel sheet into some admission forms and the fields are not updating themselves automatically.  I've gone into the Advanced Options and made sure the 'Update automatic links at open' is checked.  When I change the info in Excel, the Word document doesn't update to reflect the new information, even when I save the Excel file.

When I hover over 'Update automatic links at open' I get a little message that says "This option is not available for the view your current document is in."  I've tried changing the document view but that doesn't do anything either.  Is there something I'm missing?  What do I need to do to make this work?

2013 word printing

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 10:06 AM PST

I typed a document in Word that I sent out to a class I am teaching.  I added notes for my use to the document, saved it using a different name.  When I try to print the newly saved document, it only prints the added comments, not the original text.  I tried saving it as a PDF and printing, but same results.  I read other comments on this problem, but do not understand the references to "bubble", etc.  I not not a highly skilled user of Word.  Any ideas for someone like me?

Hide/Unhide Header/Footer

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:49 AM PST

Hello,

In our agency, we have created templates that contain the different letterheads that we use. On a couple of our PCs, when those templates are opened, the header/footer section is hidden.  How do you show/hide Headers and Footers?

I haven't found an option to do that.

Thanks

Is it possible to reset the merge record to starting record with Word mail merge?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:44 AM PST

I have a 4 up postcard template that I want to personalize on one side and print the mailing address on the reverse.

Currently, it merges the first 4 cards (side 1) with the excel worksheet but when it gets to the reverse side it continues with record #5.

I need a way to revert to record #1 - more correctly to the first record selected from the data list - for side 2.

Turning off "Show pixels for HTML features"

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:01 AM PST

When setting paragraph spacings and table parameters I want to used points (for text spacing) or cm for column widths etc.  These all appear as px.  When I turn off "Show pixels for HTML features" I get the units I want.

However next time I open the document for editing pixels are enabled again.  How do I get Word to remember the setting?

Hi folks,

I recently purchased OFFICE 2007 of which is working fine on my Win7.

But every time I try to open a doc. on my Win8.1, I get the following screen, and I have to wait 2/3 x mins each time for a doc. (or blank doc.) to open :-

I saw a discussion on this topic but it was later versions of OFFICE.

Word crashing several times a day

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:18 AM PST

Several times a day MS Word 2010 crashes.

What causes this application error and what can you do to solve it?

Which template is the attached template when there are multiple templates with the same name on the computer?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 06:51 AM PST

Although Word 2013 is shown as the base, this applies to Word 2003, 2007, 2010 as well.

I had thought that the attached template would always be the template used to create the document unless that template was not available or someone changed the attached template. I was mistaken.

I recently had the opportunity/excuse to test what happens if there are multiple templates with the same name. I was surprised by the results.

If a template with the same name is in the folder containing the document, that becomes the attached template.

If a template with the same name is in the User Templates folder and there is none in the document folder, that template becomes the attached template.

If a template with the same name is in the Workgroup Templates folder and there is none in the document's folder nor in the user templates folder, that template becomes the attached template.

The Custom Office Templates folder is not searched.

If a template exists on one of those three locations and you try to attach a template of the same name that is located elsewhere or lower in the hierarchy, Word will not do it. If you create a document based on a template with the same name as one in one of those locations, the document will be attached to the original template when you create it, but when you reopen it, it will attach to the template in the preferred location.

Templates of the same name stored in sub folders of the User Templates or Workgroup Templates folder do not have this attribute.

I have memorialized these findings in my Templates page.

Which template is attached if there are multiple templates with the same name

The testing was done using Word 2003-2013 on a laptop running Windows 8.1. If anyone wishes to test on a different operating system to see if they get different results I welcome it.

Anyone experiencing problems with the attached template should also review Shauna Kelly's page:

Page up/down shortcuts in Word 2013 / Win 8.1

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 02:56 AM PST

Good Afternoon everyone, 

I hope you can help me with the problem I'm experiencing. 

on windows 8.1 and Word 2013 you can use the CTRL+Page Down / Page UP to scroll through the document by quickly alternating between pages. you can also use CTRL+Home to go back to the start of the document. 

however when I use CTRL+F to search for the keyword and then clear the keyword from search box and close the search menu upon pressing CTRL+Page UP word takes me to the next keyword instead of scrolling to the next page. so CTRL+Page UP / Page Down is used as Find Previous / Find Next command instead of fulfilling page scrolling actions. 

I have cleared the keyword from search and from advanced search but it's still looking for that keyword when i press CTRL+Page Up/ Page Down.

could you assist please?

Edit format CITATIONS in word 2013

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 01:37 AM PST

Hi everyone!

I am working with word and trying to edit the format from my citation but don't know how to do it. 

I am using format IEEE, which means that my citations look like: [1] [2] [3] etc I found out how to manage to get two citations together in brackets: [1,2].

The PROBLEM is that if I have such case: [1, 2, 3, 4], I would like to get look like this [1-4] but I dont know how to do it...  or even if gets more complicated like this: [1, 6, 7, 8], to get something like this: [1, 6-8]. 

Does anyone know how I can do it? prob I have to do it directly from the code right? " CITATION AJe13 \l 1031 " but I don't know either how this code works...

Thank you very much for your help! :-)

Word 2010 custom document properties - how can I see them outside Word and do they copy across when saved as PDF and ultimately uploaded to SharePoint?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 01:04 AM PST

I want to add some custom metadata to Word documents which will go on to be saved as PDFs and ultimately uploaded to a SharePoint 365 / Online library (where I want to be able to read the custom metadata fields and display them).

I've worked out that I can add custom document properties to a document when it's open in Word 2010 by doing Developer > Document Panel, then choosing Advanced Properties from the Document Properties drop-down control to open the Properties dialog, then choosing the Custom tab and adding custom properties. Alternatively I can do File > Info, then use the Properties drop-down control just below the file preview image in the right-hand panel to get to the same dialog box and do the same thing.

I've added properties such as

Doc. No.

Doc. No. Prefix

Tech. Authority

Rev. No.

etc

So far, so good.

However will these custom properties be retained when I save the document as a PDF using the File > Save As command? I can't easily tell because Windows 7 File Explorer doesn't seem to show custom file properties in the panel along the bottom when I click on a the resulting PDF file. In fact Windows 7 File Explorer doesn't seem to show the custom file properties of the original Word 2010 file either.

I know it's entering into Windows 7 territory rather than just Word 2010 territory, but is there a way to view the custom properties I assigned to Word 2010 docx file when I've not got the file open i.e. either by some extension to Windows 7 File Explorer or some other simple to use utility? Ideally I'd want to be able to check the custom properties also stayed with the PDF version of the file too.

Word and Excel 2013 (Office 365) unexpectedly closing

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 12:11 AM PST

Good morning

In the last week I've had instances of both Word and Excel closing down without my asking it to and without it asking me if I want to save my work.  When I reopen the programmes the "recover documents" panel doesn't start.  In the case of Word, the file was coming up blank (there had been a page of text) and no previous versions were available.  In the case of Excel, again, "recover documents" didn't come up but there were previous versions.  The odd thing here was that I have auto save set to 1 minute but it hadn't autosaved for about 15 mins before it closed down.

I vaguely wondered whether Dragon Naturally Speaking (ver 12.5) might be causing a problem - although on neither occasion was the programme running - so I've since disabled the add on in Word and Excel.

I've also done a complete virus scan but there's no sign of anything there.

I'd  be grateful for any suggestions as I'm using these programmes for work and I can't afford to lose work in this way.

Many thanks

Cath

OneDrive + Word 2013 = Unable to Open Docs Based Upon Templates

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 09:29 PM PST

I am running Word 2013 on two different systems.  The first is Windows 7 Pro fully updated via Windows Update.  The second is Windows 8.1 Pro fully updated via Windows Update.  My Office installation is fully updated on both systems.

My document templates are stored on OneDrive in a directory named "Templates".  Word 2013 is configured on both computers to look at the OneDrive directory for templates.

Recently, when I attempt to open documents based upon templates stored in OneDrive, Word 2013 will freeze at the banner screen trying to open the source template (e.g. "sometemplate.dotx"). The location of the document to be edited makes no difference.

On both systems I can open Word 2013 in safe mode and edit the document.  On the Windows 7 system I am able to exit the OneDrive application and, voilà, Word 2013 functions normally.  On the Windows 8 system I can terminate the OneDrive Sync Engine process and, voilà, Word 2013 functions normally.

I have seen a number of different posts discussing similar, but not identical, issues when working with Word 2013 and OneDrive.  Can anyone offer any insight on this?  Killing OneDrive while editing documents renders OneDrive's utility virtually nil.

Thanks for your help.

Word 2010 template given to a 2007 user problems

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 09:29 PM PST

I am using Word 2010 and have created a template and have used the template to create many documents for a client.  He needs to print extra copies of these files and will later modify the documents.  When he opens the files some of the headings which are part of a multilevel list have tab characters in them and are indented incorrectly.  I have tried highlighting the paragraph and pressing <Ctrl><Q>, but that does nothing for this document.

I create a multilevel list and saved it with the template and everything works fine on my computer.  Also some paragraphs in the multilevel list do not have any numbering with them. I gave him a copy of my template, but that did not help with the original files.  I can use his computer to create a new document based on the template and copy the contents of the original file into the new template and everything looks great, headings are properly indented and numbering for paragraphs are working.  To do this to every document will be time consuming as there are bookmarks and reference fields that need to be entered from scratch.  Any help will be appreciated.

Office .doc formats

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 08:31 PM PST

How do I save Word documents in .doc format instead of .docx? 

Create a drop down list in Office 2013 and export content to clipboard.

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 06:44 PM PST

I would like to create a document template in Microsoft Word that contains some info along with 2-3 separate drop down lists. After the user selects their choices from the drop down list, I would like them to be able copy all of the information to their clipboard (so they could paste it into another program in a text format)

So my question is:

Will it be possible for users to copy the info listed in the template along with their specific choices in the drop-down menu?

Can this be achieved in Word 2013?

Thanks in advance,
