Microsoft Word - Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Microsoft Word - Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 02:50 PM PST

I just setup Word for IPAD and linked my Dropbox account to it, but none of the files show up from DropBox in Open on Word for IPad.  Any ideas what may be wrong?  If I go into my DropBox account on the IPAD they all appear there.  Have I missed some security item on the IPAD or Word that needs to be set?

If two autotexts are named the same (in two different templates), which one will get used?

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 02:15 PM PST

Hi all,

I inherited a lot of templates set up by another IT admin.   For autotexts, there is a bit of a "poor design" built in to some of them (might have been okay under Word 2003 but this company has now switched to 2010 mostly).

- Global template has an autotext named "Sun" which gets expanded to "Sun Life..." and it's address along with a general Attention: name

- Specific template has an autotext also named "Sun" which gets expanded to "Sun Life" but this time with a specific department related to the specific template

Users sometimes seem to have problems and before I make changes, I wondered if there is a hierarchy as to which autotext Word will use if there is more than one loaded for the same name.  If Word always takes the one from the specific template, all would be good as it is only used in a few (out of 150) templates.  So if the specific template does not have the autotext, the user can still use the "generic" name and address it would get from the global template.

But if Word does something "random", then I have got to get them to come up with another naming scheme that works for them.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick

Template no longer there

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 01:09 PM PST

Every term, when I teach Word 2010, I have always shown my favorite template by doing the following:

File, New, Letters, Cover Letters - and then selected Resume Cover Letter for Entry Level Position

This term, when I went to File, New, Letters, the Cover Letter folder is no longer there and neither is that template I mentioned above.  I thought that, perhaps, the folder got trashed when I was having other problems with my PC but our school help desk person doesn't have it either.

Can Microsoft delete stuff like this during an upgrade done in the background? By the way, the template had a 1998 McGraw Hill copyright at the end of it so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.

It seems that all the Cover Letter templates are now online rather than on the PC.  (they are not as good as the one I mentioned above)

Word Tables -Displaying the content of one table cell in a cell in another table.

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 12:55 PM PST

I have designed a document change management template using a table at the top of the page to capture the document details policy/document name, author, approval and revision date.  Because most documents created in this template will be more than one page long, I needed to add a footer at the bottom that references the subsequent pages to the first page for document integrity (appeasing our auditors).  So for that footer, i've created another table using a field to reflect the file name and path, the page number and the revision date.  I'd like to have the revision date in the table at the top of page one automatically populated in the revision date cell of the footer table.  That way the footer data would be totally automated...no need for our users to touch it.

This kind of cell data sharing is easily accomplished in Excel with a simple "+C3' formula where C3 is the cell address of the source data.  Is there any way to do the same operation in a Word table?  Closest thing I could find in the topics so far suggested User Form functions, which is really convoluted and would undoubtedly get messed up by the many people using the form.

Office License Validation

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 09:56 AM PST

Should an Office Professional Plus 2013 license ever be validated by the Software Protection service or should it always be validated by the Office Software Protection Platform service.

The reason I ask is that I have a legacy application that embeds a Microsoft Word instance via OLE that is experiencing some problems on certain machines (but not others) in Windows 7/Office 2013 environment.  For computers that experience problems, I've noticed that Event Viewer shows The Software Protection service launches when we host the document.  It starts up correctly but then it fails with "Unable to get detailed error information during license consumption.  Last error 0xC004F015".  The Word instance then appears to crash or the process ends.  In some instances afterwards, Word will prompt the user to repair the installation afterwards.

On computers that work correctly instead of the Software Protection Service, I see the Office Protection service launch and correctly validate the license. 

Word and the other Office products are able to launch standalone and work fine both on computers that experience the problem and those that don't.

How to use a MultiLevel list for a Survey

Hi,

I need create a survey and although Level 1 remains constant (1,2,3, etc.) Level 2 can change from question to question ( Circle for a single response and a Square for a Multi Response).  Appreciate your response.

Thank you

Microsoft Office Professional 2013 Not Working with Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 08:05 AM PST

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926 through the Windows Updater in Windows 8.1. After previously downgrading from Technical Preview, I installed Office 2013 and then upgraded to Technical Preview again. Whenever I try to start any Office program, I get the Welcome screen, click Blank Document, Presentation, Spreadsheet, etc., and then I get the messages (the following apply to Word):

Microsoft Word has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the program...

Microsoft Word has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

I have had the same problem with Word 2010 when I previously used Technical Preview. Is there any way I could get Office to work again?

Thank you!

Pictures inserted into Word are printing but not showing up on my screen

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 07:18 AM PST

I am working on a property brochure for work. My document has images, tables, text, etc. I have copied and pasted QR codes (images) from a website into my document. Well, two of those codes are randomly printing out on page 11, no matter what I do, I can't get them to show up on my screen so I can delete them.  I have moved all of my work into a new document but, alas the codes print in the exact same spot. I did copy and paste only the text/info that was on page 11 in a new document then printed it and the QR code images did not print on that page. What can I do? I'm at a complete and utter loss!

copy/pasting from WORD put extraneous characters in another application

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 06:12 AM PST

Hi,

I used to copy/paste parts of text in WORD to an application (Reference Manager V12).  Since I'm using WORD 2013, the paste results in copying not only the text but also additional information that my application does not understand.

As an example, I write in WORD "123123" and make a copy.  Then I paste it in the application and here is what I get:

PrFont34Bin0BinSub0Frac0Def1Margin0Margin0Jc1Indent1440Lim0Lim1123123 ...

How do I copy without these extraneous characters ?

This only occurs with WORD, not if I copy/paste from Excel or PowerPoint, or if I copy first in NotePad and then make a copy/paste from there. 

Word 1.6 for iOS still loses my data

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 06:06 AM PST

As discussed here...

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_mobile-word/word-for-ipad-and-apple-quicktype/3290f55f-7823-4f21-9a2a-02c117559bca

the iOS Word apps on my devices lose anything that's typed with QuickType.  It gives the illusion of working, but text is missing when I load the document again--even on the same device. 

I'm guessing this only affects me, since no one else has commented on the thread. Any ideas for how I can fix it? Do I just have a setting wrong somewhere?

Flow chart will not show text in inserted shape, unless a text box is also inserted.

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 05:05 AM PST

In Word 2010, when I set up a flow chart and insert a shape, and click in the shape, a cursor appears, but when I enter text no text appears.

If the text is spelled wrong, a curly red underline appears to indicate misspelling.  Thus it is apparent that the program recognizes that text is being entered.

Clicking on "no fill" does not cause the text to be displayed.  Nor does altering the alignment of the text.

OF COURSE, inserting a text box will provisionally solve the problem.  However, the purpose of the present question is to determine whether inserting a text box is necessary.

When using Format Painter, it adds at the beginning of each paragraph formatted [E-x.x-xx]. How can I make it stop?

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 01:48 AM PST

So i've been trying to change the font (from Arial to Times New Roman) and style of a big document using the wonnderful tool that never failed me before, the magical Format Painter. Until today, when I guess he decided to take a break.

At the beginning of each paragraph it adds this [E-x.x-xx], where x are numbers related to someting, maybe a numbering list? The content formated is not a part of a numbering list.

An example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit

transforms to

[E-x.x-xx] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit

Anyhow, how can I make it stop? It never happend to me before, and I have no idea how to solve this.

Thx.

How Do I Center Text Vertically in a Shape

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 12:17 AM PST

I have a rounded rectangle and insert text. How do I get the text to display centred vertically? I tried selecting the text and going to Drawing Tools/Format/Text/Align text, but the centred option doesn't centre the text. It's always a bit above the middle of the box.

Can anyone tell me how to get it to centre correctly?

Thanks

Serious lag when entering text in form in Microsoft 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 07:34 PM PST

I have several plain text text controls inserted using the controls toolbox on the Developers tab on a document. After protecting the document to only allow filling in forms, upon saving and repopening the file, there is a serious and random lag in when the user clicks on the text control and when the control responds with entered text appearing on the screen.  When the editing restrictions are lifted, there is no lag. The only other type of control I have in the document are radio buttons.

Background information:

  • Disabled all add ins (Word and COM)
  • No other VBA macros are running in the background
  • OS is Windows 7 Professional
  • Thin client configuration
  • Operating over network in office at work

Word 2013 - Featured Templates display Chinese templates

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:47 PM PST

I have a user that has somehow mangled the default 'Featured' Templates view.  WIndows 7 Professional OS / Word 2013 (Office Professional 2013).  Clicking on 'New', she gets a list of templates in Chinese (other than the default 'Blank Document' template.  I checked her language setting.  The 'editing' language is set to English, and the 'Display and Help Languages' are both set to 'Match Microsoft Windows (default)' and 'Match Display Language (default)'. 

Excel/PowerPoint template options display in English.

I did a full 'Online Repair' to see if it would correct the problem - and it didn't.

Any ideas?

Word 2013 not displaying all pages in edit mode

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:26 PM PST

We have a document with 600+ pages. When viewed online we can see all pages. Once opened in Word 2013 for editing however, we can't. If I use a different view I can but not in print view. This is a major problem as most people cannot work in this document now.

If I convert the file to Word 97 - 2003 then it works. Or if I open the file on my Mac (as it has a different version of Word - Word 2011 Mac) it works. But this is not what we want. We would like all files to work regardless.

Font looks funny in MS Works 9.0 word processor.

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 03:26 PM PST

The font on my Microsoft Works 9.0 word processor looks almost like it's italicized, "o''s aren't completely closed and when I type the "=" it comes out as a long dash. I tried to copy & paste what the = comes out as but, of course it comes out as an equal sign on here:) I tried Alt+V+A but it just shows the paragraph signs. I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 531S.

Thank you,
