Word 2010 True Blank Page?

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 01:47 PM PST

Hello,

I use Word 2010 and i think my document is generating a true blank page.  I can't get rid of it.  I've tried looking for breaks - there are none in my document.  I've tried changing 'different even and odd page' headers - nothing.  When i do a 'print preview', the blank page is NOT in the preview.  So why is it being generated, and how do i get rid of it?

I am trying to make a template that our entire office will use.  I have the template saved as a document, and there is no 'true blank page' showing up.  It's perfect.  When i save a copy of the template, and then open the copy, i see that it has the blank page.  But the original doesn't have it.  And i'm not making any changes to the document - i'm just saving a copy.  Thanks!

Templates and Add-Ins Dialog Box Won't Open

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 01:25 PM PST

I got a new Win7 PC with Office Pro 2010. I have a document made with Word 2003 that uses a custom Template. I developed a new Word 2010 template and I'm trying to apply it to my Word 2003 (.doc) document.

I clicked on Options -> Add-Ins -> Selected Templates in drop-down -> Clicked the Go button; but the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box won't open. So, can't select the template.

I tried this with other Word 2003 (.doc) files, and I can attach the 2010 template, and everything works fine.

I don't understand what's going on. Is the original file corrupted?

Thank you.

Problem with Paragraph style

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 11:08 AM PST

While using Windows 2013, I tried using the Paragraph style for my text.  What happens is that a little black square turns up to the left of the paragraph, and I cannot move the paragraph around.  It seems stuck where it is.

Should I not be using that style for my paragraphs?

Thanks!

New Document Remains Blank

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 09:57 AM PST

Microsoft Word 2010

I can use previous documents normally.

I cannot create a new document.  The new page remains blank.  I do not see a cursor.  If I type, I do not see anything at all. When I exit the program, it asks if I want to save the document.  

This started after trying to copy and paste something from a reputable blog.

I turned off the computer and restarted it, but that did not help.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Page Number Based Fields Update Inconsistently?

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:13 AM PST

Microsoft Office 2013, Word 2013, Windows 7

I've got a 200+ page document with 40 chapters, etc.    There are two sections in the document.  Section 1 contains preface material and the table of contents.  Section 2 contains all the chapters.  The document will grow over time with new chapters being inserted just about anywhere.  

I'm trying to number each page in the footer, get the first page of each chapter and certain other pages on an odd page, and display the correct page numbers in a table of contents.  Sounds simple!  My problem is that even though  I attempt to force an update of field codes, they do not seem to update consistently.  For example after one update, chapters 20, 25 and 32 may wind up beginning on even pages.  After the next forced update, without changing anything in the document, some of those chapters may wind up on odd pages and a different set beginning on even pages.

Each chapter is ended with a page break. The first item on the next page is the following field...

This code is immediately followed by my new chapter header.

The intent of the code is if this is an even page, then print a blank page message and insert a page break prior to the new chapter header.  This code exists about 60-80 times in the document.  Here's an image of a result that worked.  I included the page number in the message in an attempt to troubleshoot the problems.

I wrote VBA code to attempt to force the updates.  It first updates the fields in the main text, followed by the headers and footers, and finally the table of contents.  I'm a newbie with VBA  for Word so I'm probably missing a lot!  Here's the code which I cobbled together from multiple sources:

            

Sub updateFieldsIncludeHeadersFooters()
    Dim sec As Section
    Dim hdrftr As HeaderFooter

    ActiveDocument.Fields.Update 'address the fields in the main text story
    If ActiveDocument.Fields.Update = 0 Then
 MsgBox "Update Successful"
Else
 MsgBox "Field " & ActiveDocument.Fields.Update & _
 " has an error"
End If

    'now go through headers/footers for each section, update fields per range
    For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections
        For Each hdrftr In sec.Headers
            hdrftr.Range.Fields.Update
        Next
        For Each hdrftr In sec.Footers
            hdrftr.Range.Fields.Update
        Next
    Next

    If ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents.Count = 1 Then _
     ActiveDocument.TablesOfContents(1).Update

End Sub

The following image shows a field that didn't appear to update...  The "Page 170..." message is clearly on page 167.

After this page it appears that many (if not all) of the fields following it didn't update either.  Right clicking the individual fields and Update works.

Any ideas, quidance?  Thanks much.

Word 2003 to 2013 - Fonts not working correctly

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:48 AM PST

Hello,

At the moment we are migrating a customer from Word 2003 to Word 2013.

They are using a font called "Code39" which is used for barcodes. 
When selecting this lettertype and just typing it in Word all looks goods. 

But the problem occurs when using a Word file with a file as data source.
The barcode shows distorted; it shows as a barcode with some characters in it instead of clean barcode.

When we finalize the procedure by an e-mail merge the final result is a clean barcode.

So it's primairy the output after the data source merge before the e-mail merge. 

Please assist us in this matter.

Mail Merge Labels in Office 2010

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 02:01 AM PST

Hi all,

I'm trying to merge an Excel list of reference numbers into a label template (I have a ton of archive boxes I need to label with a unique number).  I have the Excel file formatted as a single column list, and a table with the same number of columns as the  labels I want to use.

When I try and merge it into Word though I get my template populated with <<Next Record>>, and then the <<reference>> I want, but when I click Finish Merge>Print all I get are blank pages.  

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?   Been many, many years since I last set up a mail merge!

Hi, I've searched these boards and didn't find anything related to my query. Does Word support language support, e.g. to choose between UK US English?

Thanks

Microsoft Office 2013 stops working

Confused keyboard commands between languages

Posted: 02 Feb 2015 09:40 PM PST

A few months ago I upgraded my Swedish-language Office 2010 to an English-language Office 2013. My main reason for doing so was that the Swedish-language version of Office has different meanings for the standard keyboard commands Ctrl+F for Find, Ctrl+B for Bold and Ctrl+I for Italic. EVERYONE in Sweden who works extensively with computers HATES this feature, because ALL other software keeps the English meanings of these commands. So you have to remember a specific set of commands for Swedish Office that don't apply in any browser or DTP program (or any other software that handles simple text formatting).

So for several months now I've been greatly enjoying once again being able to use Ctrl+F for Find. But today when I started my English-language Word 2013, Ctrl+F gave me bold. Which is what it means in the Swedish-language software (F stands for "fat style" font).

It took me a couple of tries before I realized what was happening. So then I tried Ctrl+B (which is "find" in the Swedish version). And Ctrl+B ALSO gave me bold. I now have two keyboard commands for bold and none for find.

Why is it doing this and how can I make it revert to all English commands?!!!

How do I update text to a style that can display in the TOC?

Posted: 02 Feb 2015 03:24 PM PST

I have a document created with a TOC that includes 4 heading levels (used the automatic Table 1 format and added a level).  I've added tables within the document, with a table name under each one.  I would like to get these table names to show up in the TOC in addition to the 4 heading levels.   I tried making them a cross-reference, but the "insert" button never is active.  How can I get them to appear in the TOC when I update it?

Word 2013 multiple users, same colors for some

Posted: 02 Feb 2015 06:54 AM PST

I'm working on a document that shows changes for about six users. All but two of the users have different colors. Two users have the same colors. How can I separate the two colors, so I can identify who made which change in this color, without hovering my cursor over every single change? (I tried shutting everything down, logging off, and getting back on, and the problem did not resolve itself.)
