Microsoft Word - Different First Page Heading in Word 2007

Different First Page Heading in Word 2007

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 03:27 PM PST

I am trying to write a 4 page letter for a non-profit organization.  I want its logo to be on the first page and not on any other pages.  According to the searches I have done, I should double click on the first page and select different first page.  When I do that, the logo disappears from the first page and remains on the other 3 pages, exactly opposite of what  I am trying to accomplish.

I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you.

Compare documents: Comparison summary will not print properly

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 03:25 PM PST

Word 2010: When I compare two documents (Review > Compare > Compare (filenames)...), the screen shows all correctly. I can change the markup to inline from balloons (my preference), and all shows OK. But when I try to print it, it will not print correctly, showing all balloons off the edge of the page, although I had selected inline.

Will not allow styles to show in a new document

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 03:03 PM PST

Hating Microsoft once again.

I am creating new styles in a template. Why can't I apply the style to any DOCUMENT I have that is not based on a template. I have created the style in a DOCUMENT, and it STILL WILL NOT APPLY IT TO ANY OTHER DOC. In other words, it is not even a selection.

Why have I spent all this time when I can only use it for the doc I have done it in.  And yes, I have clicked the Apply to Other Documents box in all cases.

This is seriously screwed up.

How to add Keywords to a word picture.

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 02:21 PM PST

How do I add Keywords to a word picture.  I Opened MS Picture Manager, and it shows me the properties, but I want to add Keywords.   I also went to File Explorer and right click to see properties, but don't see where to add keywords.  The Accessibility checker didn't help, and the Format Picture dialog box lets you add "Alt Text" but still not seeing Picture Keyword properties that you see when you open the Clip Art Pane.

Thanks in advance.

Office 2010

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 01:08 PM PST

My Word 2010 keeps freezing up on me when I am in the middle of typing, and I am getting beyond sick of it.  I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the Fixit thing and it ran, asked if what it did worked, in which I started Word again and it still froze.  I said no to it working and Fixit ran and ran and ran until I just hit cancel (it ran for 30 minutes) and continued on down the list of things to do.  It told me to find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data in the Regedit.  I found everything on the address except for the data, so I can find everything up to Office\14.0\Word, but there is no Data file for me to find.  So that is where I am stuck.  I am supposed to find the data file, save it to my desktop and delete it from the registry to see if that is what's causing Word to mess up, but since I can't even find the file, I can't check it.

Mail merge suddenly can't find the fields in the table

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 11:44 AM PST

I am running an old computer with Windows XP, Word & Excel are the same, either 2003 or 2007. I've used the mail merge function with the Avery label system for about 2 years. Suddenly, without warning it doesn't work anymore. I match up the data fields on the label template where I want it and choose the view labels, like I always did.  Word opens in another screen and the mail merge says it can't find the data field. but it won't let me select any of the options to ignore or choose another field. can anyone help me? The word screen that it opens is blank, I don't know if that's normal as I never had a reason to look at, I just followed the prompts and it worked .... PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Word Opens but doesn't load Files saved on Network Drives

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 09:44 AM PST

Having problems with Word; if double clicking a file saved on a network drive on the local network it will not open the file. Word will launch, flash a document window and logo again and then open on the quickstart/template screen one would get if just opening Word.  Files can be accessed if they are moved to the desktop. Files will open on double click from desktop.  Moving all files to local systems will not work for our company needs.

Can't open docx attachments in email

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 08:33 AM PST

I purchased and downloaded Office 2013 a couple of weeks ago.  The programs seem to work correctly, except Word docx files attached to email won't open from email. I get the message "Download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred." I have to save them to the desktop or somewhere else, open Word, then open the document.  Excel files (xlsx) DO open correctly in Excel, and older doc files also open correctly.  I've checked the "Trust Center settings" and all are identical to the Excel settings.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office twice.  I've tried the live chat with Microsoft "experts" which was a monumental waste of time.  I'm using Windows 8.1 and use Thunderbird as my email client.  Any help would be appreciated, as it's a pain to have to take multiple steps to open an attachment that should work with one click.  Thanks!

Add Two-word words to MS dictionary?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 08:20 AM PST

Is it possible to update the custom dictionary with two-word words?  For instance, I'd like to add "Bandar Abbas" (the name of a city in Iran) to the custom dictionary, but I don't want "Bandar" to be a separate word or "Abbas" since that could lead to problems with words like "Banter" and "Abbey" or something.

Also, what about something more difficult like "Dar es Salaam".  I'd hate to have "Dar" as a word on its own, or "es".  That would create a lot of problems!

Work Lost On Unsaved Microsoft Document - How Can I Recover It MS2007

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:59 AM PST

My Windows:  7

My Office: MS Word 2007

I spent 5 hours working on a document 3 days ago (Friday). I went to open it today and the work I completed did not save. Is there a way of getting the work back? The document was something I have been working on for some time. I opened the saved file, completed the work, closed the file (which I assume I couldn't have saved) then renamed the file.

I have tried to go to the folder which the autorecover  stuff saves into and there are no .asd files in it

I have searched for all .asd files on the whole PC and none exist.

The versions I can go back to aren't any good as they don't hold the material I need .

I have been using Word 2007 so I don't have the autosave option to look through.

I guess what im looking for is to go back in time to a point I was working on the file with the text I had completed on the document before I had closed it. Say around 16:30 last  Friday

Can  any one help at all?

Thanks very much

Rachel.

Visio 2010 drawings embedded in Word 2010 Table not printing

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:56 AM PST

I'm having an issue with printing a Word 2010 (.docx) document with embedded Visio 2010 Drawings in a table within the document.

The document is saved as a .docx and when previewed, the Visio drawings show up.   When printed, they don't show up.

If I save the document as a 97-2003 (.doc) version, the pages print correctly and the Visio diagram is printed correctly, within the table cell in which it was placed.

I've been checking several articles on the web, but cannot find anything very recent on this issue and the articles that do exist have not provided a solution.

Understandably, my clients want to maintain the documents in the newer version of Word, rather than having to save as an older version, just to be able to print the documents when they've been updated by operational staff.

I've tried turning on / off several print options within Word, to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

What to do when third-party add-in doesn't work?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:26 AM PST

In an effort to find a way to import/export Word keyboard shortcuts, I landed a third-party app called "Shortcut Organizer" add-in.

I've placed the .DOT file in the Word Startup folder. The Word Startup folder has been designated a trusted location in Options-Trust Center too.

When I click on the relevant button (Shortcut Organizer) under the Add-in ribbon, however, nothing! When I try to run the individual macro (OrganizeKeyboardShortcuts.MAIN) from the Developer-Macro, also nothing!

This is very strange, because all the other macros from another third-party add-in are operating properly.

Any clue?

Cannot access Word 2013 templates...server issues?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:57 AM PST

When searching for online templates an error message comes up saying:
"Your Internet request timed out. The service might be temporarily busy."

I have restarted my Internet and computer with no luck of this changing.  It has been going on for a couple days too.

I am also not able to sign in.  A message comes up when I click the sign in link that says:
"Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues."
This makes me think maybe it's not my computer but something else going on.  I am not able to check for updates either because of Microsoft server issues.

Can anyone out there help me?

Thank you.

Columns to full page size

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:22 AM PST

Dear Sir,

I'm tackling a project in which I did OCR on newspaper clippings. As such the OCR is done and saved as a word document. The problem is that it's saved with the same format as the article, that is in two columns. What I want is the two columns to merge as I was writing regularly with Word, that is the full width of the page. My problem is that If I choose only one column in format, what happens is that the whole width of the page is filled, but the space between the words is increased proportionally.

I hope you understand my situation, if not let me know and I'll give you more information.

Thanks,

Arturo

How can I set Google Mail as the default Share option in Word 2013?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:20 AM PST

Sharing from Word 2013 with Outlook installed is brilliant, however our office uses Google Mail (in the browser) and it'd be great to be able to click share within Word 2013, and choose "as attachment" and for that to load of Google compose window... Is this possible, and if so, how?! 

How do I insert multiple TOCs in Word 2010?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 02:52 AM PST

Split from this thread.

In Word 2010, don't even think about using any of the built-in TOC building blocks. Instead, in References | Table of Contents | Table of Contents, choose Insert Table of Contents..., which will open the classic Table of Contents dialog, where you can click on Options.

Can you describe how to insert multiple TOCs into a document using this method in Word 2010?

Missing files and files opening in Word 2013

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 02:45 AM PST

Split from this thread.

Not only did I find files changed when I downloaded Office 2013, I had a briefcase disappear from the desktop.  While searching for it I found dozens of Word 2007 in the recycle bin.  Upon looking where they were previously, they had been converted to 2013 with the name changed to "new document".  Haven't found the briefcase yet.   I also have Word 2007 and when I attempt to open it, Word 2013 opens.

Problem with custom templates in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 06:04 PM PST

OK: I've moved my old custom Word templates over to the "Custom Templates" folder in Word 2013 with no problem, and they appear  and function just fine. However, there appears to be no way to attach the template to a new Word document, as opposed to opening the template itself. With previous versions of Word, I could specify that I wanted to create a new document or a new template...but in Word 2013, using my custom template there's no such option. I want to attach my template to a new blank document, but when I click on the template file it opens the actual template, so I end up typing into the template instead of a new document based on the template. Help!

Office 2013 not responding

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 03:35 PM PST

I have a problem with both Microsoft Office 2013 Outlook, Word not responding. When I first open them they work for a few minutes, however they then jam up and come up with 'not responding'. This is becoming quite annoying as it is taking up my precious work time restarting the programs every 5 minutes. I have looked at other forums, but none of the solutions seem to work. If somebody could help me it would be great. I have a windows 7 computer. It is a new computer, I only got it 2 weeks ago and it was working fine for the first week but it has been playing up for about a week now. 

Office 2013 no longer opens after receiving automatic update from MS.

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 03:34 PM PST

I have the Office Home & Student 2013 version which I downloaded back in 2013 from MS. After a recent automatic update on 02/23/15, I get the following message box when I try to open any of the office programs from either the program icon or a created document/file:

Header says: office2rclient.exe - Bad Image.  Box content reads: " C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Clientx64\MSVCR100.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020. "

I have tried to uninstall the program but neither the Uninstall or Change button executes when the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 - en-us program is selected on the uninstall program list. The window color changes briefly but nothing else happens.

As well, I tried to reinstall the original program from Microsoft on-line using the product key and got a message that that particular product key can not be downloaded. ??? a lot of good that does the customer.

Ideas??

Hi, I bought a new mac air and bought the office 365 university from www.amazon.de

I installed the software, but cannot activate it with the product key provided by amazon.de. the result is always "the product key is invalid".

If amazon.de gave me the wrong key, could you please give me a right key?

Thanks!
