Microsoft Word - Word 2013 very slow with frequent crushes

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 very slow with frequent crushes

Word 2013 very slow with frequent crushes

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 02:48 PM PST

Hi,

I have office 2013 installed on Windows 8.1 pro. I am having the following problems with a word document of around 100 pages:

  1. It responds very slowly.
  2. It changes the pre-define formatting; precisely, it got rid of the headings formatting I defined with multilevel numbering.
  3. At time it crushes with the following message: "Microsoft has stopped working" and then a new blank page opens and the latest changes are not saved even if the automatic recovery is active. I want to say that this last problem is not related to the size of the doc because it happens also with smaller sizes docs.

The above problems are costing me precious time at work and I really need to resolve them

Thanks a lot,

Nadia

Error Opening Office Document

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 02:38 PM PST

Hi -

When I attempt to open an office document (I've tried both Word docs and Excel sheets) by clicking on the file (versus opening the app first) I receive the following error:  "C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\tsmf.dll".  The error occurs with both files created on my PC or received from another PC.  If I open any of the office apps (not selecting a file to cause it to launch - just using the exe file/link) I do not get an error.

One note, when I "ok" the error, the app and doc open fine.

Running Windows 7 64-bit and Office 2010 64-bit.

Thanks!

Find: Equations

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 02:25 PM PST

Hello everyone!

Two or more Microsoft Equation 3.0 objects or MathType objects inserted without a space or any other character in between are counted by the "Find: Equations" function as a single equation:

What negative impact can this possibly lead to (if any)?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Microsoft Word in Mac Issues with Search and Replace

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 01:51 PM PST

Hi all.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am a second-language teacher and created a template for Microsoft Word to create my lesson plans. I create a lesson for example for "What is that?" and another lesson for "How are you?". Each of those two lessons would be two separate word files on my computer.

However, in creating the template I made it so when I do a search and replace it only searches the page I'm currently on and not the entire document. Does anyone know what I need to fix so that when I do a search and replace for the entire document, it will search all pages?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Appreciate any help.

Changing the Normal.dotm file

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 12:22 PM PST

Hi

I need some help.  All our staff use Office 365 and we are currently looking at changing the default settings (in the normal.dotm file) within Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc to our new branding of fonts etc.  All our staff use tablets or laptops and each device is loaded with Office when a new individual starts.  My question is this, if I need to change the default fonts, do I have to do each tablet and laptop individually or can it be rolled out to everyone from the cloud?

How do I remove these boxes around my text? I am using a required form from my university but can't get rid of these annoying boxes that keep surrounding the text in my bibliogrpahy. Sample below.

How do I change margins for selected Word pages that contain a multi-page table?

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 09:53 AM PST

Hello! I have a Word document that contains both text and tables. The text is on Portrait-oriented pages, and the tables are on Landscape-oriented pages. The tables are interspersed throughout the document. On the Portrait pages, the left margin is set at 1.5" (for binding later). So on the Landscape pages, I want the top margin to be 1.5", since that's the edge that will be bound. But those tables are large (can't be helped), and take up multiple Landscape pages, with the header row repeated on each page. When I adjust the top margin for "apply to this section", the top margin updates only for the first Landscaped page of the table, and not for the subsequent pages containing the remainder of the table. Help! How can I make the adjustment?

Many thanks!

How do I find features that are unique to Office 2013?

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 08:10 AM PST

 I have the task to demonstrate office 2013 (Word, Excel, PPT) to a group of 2010 experienced office workers. Is there a list of items, other than menu changes, changes in techniques, or simply new ways to work the same features in earlier versions?

The filter in Excel is new to me and I could use that even if it is not new to 2013 and I like Flash Fill.

Other features?

Should I also post this in PPT and Excel discussion groups or is this one sufficient?           

Can a content control be sized to 2 characters?

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 07:51 AM PST

If it can I am just not seeing it.  CCs are new to me.  The test I am trying is to create a return address section in a document.   When I use a CC, can I set it to take up only 2 characters for state abbreviations?  When I proofread the document before it is populated with information, it is not proportionate the what I want to see it.

Have installed MS 2013 and ALL Office applications crash after a few seconds.

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 06:31 AM PST

Hi All

Unfortunately MS Office 2013 doesnt prove to be that robust....  I am running Win 7 and have tried different approaches to stop the appcrash such as removing add-ins, removing the bluetooth driver, repairing word, running MS office in compatibility mode but they do not work. The only way to get office not to crash within seconds is to open the programmes on safe mode...but  I would really prefer running them in the "normal mode".

With Word 2013 I get this appcrash statement:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: WINWORD.EXE
  Application Version: 15.0.4420.1017
  Application Timestamp: 5067349a
  Fault Module Name: nvwgf2um.dll
  Fault Module Version: 8.16.11.8691
  Fault Module Timestamp: 4a9cdcbd
  Exception Code: c0000005
  Exception Offset: 00045e14

With Excel 2013 I get this:
  Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: EXCEL.EXE
  Application Version: 15.0.4420.1017
  Application Timestamp: 50673286
  Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll
  Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.18409
  Fault Module Timestamp: 53159a86
  Exception Code: e0000003

MANY THANKS for your help, it is highly appreciated and hopefully we can help others with the same issue.

Caption problems with figures and tables in Word 2013 for Surface Pro

Posted: 22 Feb 2015 03:39 AM PST

When I insert a figure caption, then a table caption, the previous figure caption turns to a table caption.  The reverse also happens.  I have never had this problem with Word 2010.  Is it 2013 or is it my new Surface Pro with Windows 8.1 Pro?  I am very frustrated with this problem.  

How to put words on both left and right sides of document?

Posted: 21 Feb 2015 08:47 PM PST

I'm trying to, essentially, split my paper in half. I want to have my stuff looking like this:

Demand for more credits, community service,                                           In a society that constantly tells it's youth they must have the highest pay check and

and better grades runs many high schoolers ragged.                                newest car to be happy, why wouldn't this be the case?

For many anything but the best is simply unexceptable.

That's simply some sample text I found online, my content is completely different, but it examplifies what I want to do. The only way I could do something like this in Word would be to tab every single line, which would take way too long. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Microsoft word 2010 trying to center a single line and changes the whole page to center

Posted: 21 Feb 2015 07:35 PM PST

I am trying to center my title in my essay and this has been going on for about 6 months. But I keep getting knock off points for not centering correctly even though I have tried to figure it out. 
When I try to center a single line it changes all of my essay to center. And it also does the same for any alignment I chose. 
Does anyone know how to fix this? I am truly frustrated. 

Can't open Word Doc, tried Rebuilder and other recovery software but no luck

Posted: 21 Feb 2015 06:16 PM PST

I saved a Word document to a USB and now I can't open it. When I try to open it in Word I see... The file cannot be opened because there is a problem with the contents.  I click Details and I see... Details  '>' expected. Location:  Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 47886.

I tried Rebuilder and got the message... Run-time error '3002': File could not be opened. I clicked Debug and Microsoft Visual opened up.  A line is highlighted in yellow with an arrow next to it... .LoadFromFile WorkXMLFileFullName

Now if I move my cursor to the WorkXMLFileFullName, a small box with a temp directory in my C-drive appears.  I tried typing in that directory, but the highlight remains.  

Can anyone help me recover this file or walk me through how to use Visual to recover it? I've never used it before.  Thanks!  

Suddenly I can't select a table on Word

Posted: 21 Feb 2015 05:00 PM PST

Suddenly I can't select a table on Word, and move handle doesn't show up!

The problem takes place in a Mac and in a PC.

Other tables of the same document are fine.

The document has two columns, but tables occupy the width of a single column.

Thanks for your help.

Need to add word pairs to Microsoft Word Translator (Spanish to English)

Posted: 21 Feb 2015 03:21 PM PST

Hi, I'm in the process of helping a person in Ecuador who is writing a technical book containing plant descriptions.  He is writing them in WORD in Spanish, then I get his files and translate them from Spanish to English.  I use the Word feature that enables translating an entire document to get a start on the translation, and that does pretty good.   But the technical Spanish terms used in botany do not translate correctly, or at all.   How can I add these technical word pairs to a translation dictionary to accomplish this?   Or is there some other way to scan a document for any of a list of words, and replace them with their correct translation.   Since there may be a hundred or more words to scan (find) in each of about 100 files, I can not do them one at a time with the FIND feature or it would take forever.

I saw a FIND and REPLACE macro on this website that will find all occurrences of a word or phrase and replace it with something else, but I don't know how to modify it to find any one of a LIST of words or phrases and their replacement pairs.  Plus I've never added a macro to Word and used it before (although I have done this with VBA in Excel).

Any hints on how to do this?

THanks,

Jerry
