Scrolling in Word 2013 Professional

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 01:27 PM PST

If I have an opened Word Document and I am trying to scroll vertically using the scroll thumb/scrollbox/scrolltab I cannot get fluid/continuous scrolling. However, when I use the scroll up, and scroll down arrows I get continuous scrolling. Is there a way to get continuous scrolling by clicking the scrolltab, and having the content in the document update automatically?

I cannot for the life of me find a solution to this enigma

jumping cursor

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 12:33 PM PST

I have Office 365, new in November. There is a black date and settings toolbar that floats in every few minutes. It causes me to stop typing, freezes whatever I am doing and makes the cursor jump. Then I spend an amount of time repairing the document because one sentence fragment is in a different sentence.

Word 2010 is making lists impossible...

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 11:58 AM PST

Hey everyone!
So I'm setting up my preferred list format for this new document, and Word is just making everything impossible. It "thinks" it knows the best indentation for the new list levels, and it does all kinds of ridiculous stuff with the text after the list starts. Check out the picture to see what I mean.

Is there any way to fix this? Its driving me crazy. Each new list level should have a steady, smooth indentation, and all text after the list starts should also have the same indentation. The text after a. and the empty circle is too close, and the text after i. is too far out.

Thanks for any help!

Cannot see all of the themes available in Word 2013

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 11:55 AM PST

I'm trying to complete an assignment for school that requires the Damask theme in work.  I go to the design tab and click on the themes drop down and see 9 themes.  A week ago, there were dozens that appeared when I did the very same operation.  I either need to know how to get all of those themes to show up again or where I can download that specific theme so that I can finish this project (note: I don't need a link to some giant list of themes to scroll through for an hour before I realize the theme I'm looking for doesn't exist in it- I want the direct download link for the Damask Word 2013 theme).

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I am unable to open the new word nor open any of my word documents from my USB as it says "Microsoft has stopped working" or "Microsoft is not responding". I have so much university work I need to complete and would really appreciate any help. Thank you. 

Does MS Word for Tablet have Grammar Checker?

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 07:47 AM PST

Here is MicroSoft's profile for the app on Google Play.

Does MicroSoft Word for Tablet use grammar and spell checker, such as the PC version?

I ask because while the current version of the description says it has the full MS Word program.  It fails to mention whether it has the grammar checker.

Thank you for sharing your Force;  May you ask the Goddess to alight your path.

Can't Add Dropbox to Word

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 11:39 PM PST

I'm using W8.1 and Word 2013 and have used the dropbox_service_add .bat file to add the service.

Dropbox now shows up in Word as an option to add from this Menu File/Account/Add a Service/Storage.  I can choose options Dropbox or Google Drive, etc, but both show this error message - 

"Sorry we're having server problems, so we can't add Dropbox right now"

There are many posts with this error message, but no solutions.

This doesn't work with other Office apps either and applies equally to Google Drive:

Status bar at bottom of window in Word

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 10:33 PM PST

Greetings.

When I open a Word document in Office 2007, the status bar that normally appears at the bottom of the document window has vanished. This is the case for both new and old documents.

Can you tell me how I can get it back, please?

PLEADING PAPER

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 03:15 PM PST

Some law firms use this horrible Word 2010 program.  Do not like the Ribbon [which I find a horrible idea] because it takes too much time to get what needs to be done, done.  It takes me now 4-8 steps more than Word 2003 did with the tool bar that could be customized to get the job done quicker.  Now that I have to work with Word 2010, I find out that you CANNOT MAKE PLEADING PAPER OR EVEN MAKE A TEMPLATE PLEADING.  This is really bad for law firms.  In Word 2003 you could make Pleading paper, but you could NOT do standard double spacing because it would not be on the Line Numbers.  You had to monkey around with the spacing to even get the text of the pleading on the line numbers.  WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? 

On top of this issue is the fact that you cannot make pleading paper that is consistent wit 26 lines, but you cannot put 2 footers [one for page number, title of pleading] and [second, the law firm info] at all.

As for Microsoft's templates, they are useless.  You cannot customize them to fit your needs.

As far as I am concerned, your Microsoft people really need to make a product that would consider LAW FIRMS and be USER FRIENDLY [you could learn from WordPerfect].  Your products are mainly made for Corporate businesses that are basic in what they do and that is perfectly fine but it is totally inefficient for law firms.   

Yes, I am use to having "USER FRIENDLY" software such as WordPerfect to make pleading paper, which line spacing was actually on the Line Number without screwing around with the Line Spacing to have your text on the Line Number.
