Word deletes <w:t xml:space="preserve"> from document.xml

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 02:10 PM PST

Hello everyone!


I need to have all tags

<w:t>

changed to

<w:t xml:space="preserve">

in document.xml of a particular docx-file. It is possible to do so manually, but each time afterwards the corresponding docx-file is edited, the change of tags becomes undone.

Is it possible to make "preserve"-tags stay permanent?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Cheers

Where can I find the "Normal Dot" file and/or how can I restore it to the default?

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 01:30 PM PST

I am getting a message that a document can't be saved because it is in use by Normaldot.

I get: "Word can't do this because a dialog box is open" when no other dialog box is open.

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 01:09 PM PST

Every time I open a specific document (this one is password protected), I get a popup message: "Word can't do this because a dialog box is open" when no other dialog box is open." How do I get rid of this nuisance?

Thank you.

extra decimal points when trying to mail merge

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 11:55 AM PST

I am trying to mail merge an existing document with a letter in word. Every time that I mail merge, some of my numbers end up with extra decimal points. I have triple checked that the cell is formatted only to two decimal places. I get two decimal places for everything but my last two numbers. I have also tried to use a different way to open up the excel file, such as Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), but every time I try to do that, it says there is an error and I need to reestablish my DDE connection. I have tried rebooting, copy the document to a new one and other ways, but I cannot restore the connection. How can I try and restore that DDE connection or how can I end up with only two decimal places. Please help me.

1 docx document has different layout when viewed in word 2010 or word 2013

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 08:28 AM PST

A document created in Word 2010, when viewed in Word 2013 is given a different layout.

The lettertype and size are said to be the same, but less characters will fit on 1 line in Word 2013 when compared with the same line viewed in Word 2010.

This results in lines being cut short in different ways, thus resulting in lines being moved downwards to the next page.

Also, colunms created via tabbing are skewed when viewed in 2013.

All settings related to the layout have been checked and are identical.

Both are viewed in print preview.

The lettertype used is Goudy Old Style, lettersize 12.

Can anybody offer insight into this behaviour?

Many thanks in advance

Word 2013 Macros and Templates - dissappeared

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 08:06 AM PST

I can only assume this occurred during the most recent update. And I can assure Microsoft that this is probably the most stupid move they've taken in a long time.

As the production manager for a small publishing house I have developed over the years and am constantly refining custom templates and very complex macro sets that are part of those templates which are used throughout our company to accomplish many day to day tasks. Yes, I have backups of these templates and macro sets but, unfortunately, they're about a month old and do not include latest changes.

Imagine my surprise when I went to use my templates/macros today (that worked fine about three days ago) and discover both are gone. No macros no templates. Then discover I can't find any templates at all (no normal, no email, none of the standard Word templates).

First, I'd like someone from Microsoft to explain where my templates and Macros went. Then I want to know how to recover them.

I use an O 365 business subscription that includes my Office 2013 suite.

Office 2013 Bug Report: Key Not Available as Shortcut

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 05:00 AM PST

Hi!

I didn't know how to report bugs to Microsoft, so I hope someone at Microsoft will read this post.

The problem is that even though the locales are set to German (Switzerland), Office 2013 uses the key ß (sharp s) as a shortcut at multiple places. However, this key (sharp s) does not exist on Swiss German keyboards. (We don't use Germany-German keyboards in Switzerland.) As a result, some functions that uses a shortcut including a sharp s - like "Verbinden und zentrieren" on tab "EINFÜGEN" in Word (see screenshot below) - cannot be accessed in Switzerland.

Thanks a lot for fixing this bug!

Macro for headers and footers

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 04:14 AM PST

Please can anyone help.    I use a macro which makes the document into book fold and landscape paper.  The document has a different first page header and footer.  In just some cases when I use my macro, it ignores the fact that I have a different first page header and footer.  I thought I could put a line into the macro that would fix this when it happeneds  I have recorded a macro to insert into this macro, but it does not seem to make any difference. The first page should not have a line in the header or footer, but in some instances it puts it in there ?  Could anyone help please.

If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
        ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
    End If
    If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Or ActiveWindow. _
        ActivePane.View.Type = wdOutlineView Then
        ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
    End If
    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument

Automatically load a macro enabled template when opening word

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 03:37 AM PST

I have some Macros previously developed for word 2010 which were saved in a template so that they would automatically load on opening Word. This allowed me to distribute the MACROS without requiring a technical release and support from the IT department.

In Word 2010 there was a way of saving the template the macros were created in to be auto-loaded whenever Word is opened so that they are available for use by any document that is opened. I cannot find a similar way of saving and setting these up in 2013. Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance.

NB: At work we use Windows 7 and at Home we use Windows 8.1, in case this affects the solution.

Chart marker symbols in legend

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 01:25 AM PST

I am making several scatter plots and inserting them in Word. I am trying to find a way to place data marker symbol in caption so that I can reference that data in legend. For example if I have two data series, blue triangles - cars sold, and red squares - bikes sold i want to write in caption something like "zou can see data for cars (insert_blue_triangle_here) and bikes (insert_red_square_here) soldper month. Is there a way to insert those symbols? I know that I can use chart legend for that, but it takes up more space and I am not supposed to have legend.

Google Drive now supported in Word for iPad?

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 12:32 AM PST

So Word for iPad's latest update allows integration with Google Drive, but I can't get it to work.

I checked in 'Add a place' - I can select OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Dropbox or Sharepoint, but no sign of (Google) Drive.

Under ". . . more" , and "Locations" there's a slide button to select Google Drive, but I can't see any effect.  Even with this switched on, Drive doesn't appear under any of the menus.

Is this a bug?

 

Use the data from a mergefield in a macro

Posted: 24 Feb 2015 12:32 AM PST

Hello

With the help of forums and the Microsoft KB, I wrote a macro that selects a mergefield (eg. the column "Group"), gets his value (eg. "B2") and insert the content of the related text file (eg. "C:\B2.TXT").

My macro works well, except that the mail merge part doesn't work. It takes the value of the first line of my data source and replicates it on every record.

Here is a simplified version of my macro (of course, it would be useless if it only did that):

Sub ShowGroup

  Dim GroupVal As String

  GroupVal = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Group").Value

  Selection.TypeText (GroupVal)

End Sub

Do you have an idea of how I should correct this macro, and also when I should run it?

Thanks in advance!

Styles and formatting/Screenplay editing

Posted: 23 Feb 2015 07:53 PM PST

Hey,

I used to use Word 2003 for word processing but I've recently upgraded to 2013.

The problem is that when I'm writing in a screenplay format I no longer have the useful "styles and formatting" bar stuck on the right hand side of the screen, so I can't quickly change the indentation/capitalisation/justification.

Is it possible to permanently see the styles I'm working with in 2013, and if not, is some kind of screenplay software my only alternative?

Thanks a lot, sorry if this is a dumb question.

How can I get blank labels for Avery 5160 on Word 2013?

Posted: 23 Feb 2015 07:39 PM PST

Hi, I have been a Word 2003 holdout for quite a while now and my son made me upgrade to Word 2013.  Now, I am trying to print labels and have not been able to find a blank template for them. 

Back in Word 2003, I could create labels and those dotted boxes would appear and I would be able to type the addressees.  Now, in Office 2013, I went to File > New > and typed "Label" in the search bar and found a whole bunch of templates, all of which have various flowery/graphical designs.  I don't want that.  I just want blank labels, 30 per page.  I would think that this is something simple but I can't seem to find it anywhere. 

Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated.

Permanently Deleting a Quick Style

I am currently using Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, and I was wondering how I could permanently delete a Quick Style? I've read how to do it and tried it myself, but every time I open up a new document, the old styles are still there. 

Need mailmerge fields to singe space not double space

Posted: 23 Feb 2015 05:18 PM PST

My mail merge brings the lines in but double spaces them.  I have tried setting the whole document to single spacing but is does not change the merged information.  Also, I need lock the columns so the information will always line up under the headers, is there a tutorial to show how to do that?  Thanks Nana from NC
