ERROR! displayed instead of nested formulae in Word-Office 365 under Win 8.1, why? how to avoid this "bug"?

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 03:35 PM PDT

Hi, 

Nobody knows how to let MS-WORD of Office 365 (Office 2013), that runs under Win 8.1, correctly display the "nested mathematical formulas" which I've previously typed in Word_Office 2010. All my formulas display "ERROR!" instead of all the nested formulas in the field codes.

I've three PC's (laptops). Only the most recent one of them has installed win 8.1 and installed Office 365 when bought 3 months ago, and it is that one that I use now in a "Physics" class room to teach this semester.

Before using it, I have had no problem with the display of nested formulas using the other two PC's who have Win 7.  I used to type the formulae during years myself using the field codes, through Ctrl+F9 and Alt+F9, without major problems.

Now, on the new laptop with Win 8.1, the display is full of ERROR! for the nested equations in the files I open in Win 8.1 under Office 365. However, when I type new nested formula it is displayed correctly (astonishing enough, no?). It is evident that I cannot re-type hundreds of my equations in particular for this machine.

I consulted every possible site, and I did not find any solution for that issue.

It seems related to Win 8.1 and or Office 365, someway. Am I wrong?


Your help is appreciated

Thanks.

I am prompted when closing Word, something about saving global template or normal.dotm

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 10:08 AM PDT

I am prompted when closing my Word 2007, that there are problems with read-only something and something about the global template and normal.dotm.  I know i have seen what I think are corrupted files (they have a ~ before them) before. I saw something about changing files to read/write but I don't know how to do this.  I know this vague but I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.  If the actual messages comes up again soon I will try to get it verbatim.  Thank you.

wits end with Word 365 -- fails to save or open files correctly

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 10:02 AM PDT

Ever since I've been using Word 365, I've been extremely frustrated. I've searched all over the boards, and I don't know what to do.

1.) Sometimes when I try to save a Word document, it tells me the pathname is too long. It takes me several different times (changing the name) to save it. This name could be as simple as "Training File" --- It is the quirkiest thing I've ever seen.

2.) If I successfully save a file, when I go to open it, it tells me the "Director name is not valid" or the pathname is too long!!??? What the heck? I have no way to open the document. After searching the board, people tell me to go to the winword /r to "reregister," but when I do this, NOTHING happens. Nothing.

3.) Some of my Word files automatically convert to PDF's --- FURIOUS.

Somebody please help me, because I have MAJOR work files that are being messed up. I'm at my wits end with Microsoft 365.

In advance, THANK YOU.

Cannot find my Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 application

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 09:43 AM PDT

I recently installed Microsoft Office but I cannot seem to find the application for Microsoft Powerpoint on the Start Menu or anywhere else after I deleted the desktop shortcut I created for it.

Does anyone know how to find it again or do I need to contact Microsoft to re-install Office?

Thanks

Word 2013 Check Box Content Control not working in Word 2003

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 09:28 AM PDT

We have a 2013 Microsoft Office Word Enabled Document that we want to e-mail to clients to complete (it is a questionnaire) with Check Box Content Control to allow clients to put ticks in relevant boxes.

 

However if the clients use Microsoft Office 2003 the document will open but removed the Check Box Content Control.

 

So we are wanting to create a document that will work in any version of Office and allow the Check Box Content Control/User to click on a box and a tick appear, they save the document then e-mail it back to us.

 

It is not essential it is in Word.

 

Has anyone got any ideas?  Below is image of Questionnaire.

Word 2013 Windows 8.1 - Envelopes Stopped Printing

cross-referencing a paragraph number in a figure caption works in one part of my doc but not another

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 08:59 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm trying (in Word 2013) to be able to cross reference a figure caption (just Figure XXX) in the text -- the figure number I'm cross referencing also has a cross reference to the paragraph number. In one part of the document the procedure I show below worked. In another part of the document the procedure fails because the list of figures disappears for that figure

To create the cross references I followed these steps.

1. Click on the figure and select "Insert Caption" -- I get the pop up that says "Figure 4" and hit OK. At this point clicking in the doc and selecting Cross-reference shows Figure 4 in the list

2. Highlight the 4 in the newly added figure caption and select cross-reference, reference-type "Numbered-item", insert reference to "Paragraph number" (4.1 in this case. I also add a dash before the 4 by inserting it in the doc and closing out the popups) -- At this point the figure caption reads "Figure 4.1-4". Since this is the first figure in paragraph 4.1, I want the number after the dash to be 1.

3. Select the 4 and change it to 1. --  At this point the figure caption reads "Figure 4.1-1" as I want it to be. I now want to add a cross-reference in the text to this caption

4. Select "Cross-reference" (to figure) -- Now the list does not show Figure 4.1-1 or Figure 4.

I've tried a different procedure, that includes (when I create the figure caption) selecting "Numbering" and checking the "Include chapter number". When I do this I get as a caption "Figure 1-4". It looks like Word thinks the chapter number is "Chapter 1" and it didn't renumber the figures, starting at -1.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Table in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 08:22 AM PDT

I am a teacher of technology and I have been showing the students how to insert a table in Word 2013.  I then show them how to type and insert bullets in the cells.  I have not had this issue happen to me, but the students will have words that split and drop below as if the contents is not fitting in the cell correctly.  I have tried a variety of troubleshooting by selecting the table and selecting to auto fit contents, to changing the margins, to adjusting the bullet margins, and these have helped but it is time consuming.  I wanted to know what could they be doing at the start to get these errors and if there is an easier fix.  I finally walked them through creating a new table and copying the contents from the incorrect table over.  This did help and it copied correctly.

Microsoft Office 2010 - Microsoft Server 2008 - will not print Tray 2

There is no option to Enable Macros in Word 2010

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 10:13 PM PDT

I suppose I should start with explaining that I've been developing in MS Office (primarily Access, Excel, Word, and Outlook) and writing my own VBA and VB code for at least 15 years.  So when I say I wrote my own code, I mean it.  I know that the code I wrote is safe to run on my own computer.  

But Word 2010 won't let me run my own code.  Every time I try to run my own code, I get a message that Macros are Disabled.  And it means it because I *never get the message bar* that is supposed to at least temporarily let me enable macros.  I'm not sure why I don't get the message bar, because I have the message bar enabled in the trust center.  So at the very least I should get that but I don't.

I've tried self-certifying my document, but all that accomplishes is protecting it further.  Once I edit my document I get the message that the certification is being removed due to the document being edited.  This is NOT what I want at all.  

I've tried adding all locations, including network locations, to trusted locations.  It helped once, but since that one time it stopped.  I don't know what magic I did that one time that it worked.

I have macros fully enabled in the Trust Center, despite M$ warning me that my own code is dangerous.

I'm at my wit's end.  I have exactly ONE document.  It's a .docm.  It contains the ONE MACRO that I want to run, that will save me a ton of keystrokes (joke's on me because it's taken 10x the number of keystrokes just to figure out how to enable macros).

How do I get my macro to run????????

Thanks in advance.

Office 2007 is opening Word files that Office 2013 should be opening

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 09:50 PM PDT

Hi,

I installed Office 365 almost a year ago on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

For months I had issues with Word 2013; these were stability issues, specifically when using tables and inserting photos, Word would often stop responding and crash. I also had problems with the "dialogue box open" message whenever I opened Word. In despair I reverted to using Word 2007, which had no stability issues, and both Office 2007 and 2013 are on my computer. More recently I ran a Fixit on Word and it seems to have resolved the stability and the dialogue box issues. I now wish to use Word 2013. However, it seems that the default has reset to Office 2007, and each time I try to open a Word document the MS Office Ultimate configuration process is triggered. This takes some time to load (90 seconds) and then the document opens in Word 2007.

Do I need to uninstall Office 2007 to correct this problem or is there another way?

Thanks in advance!

Ctrl+Alt+F5 hijacked from Word (Win 8.1)

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 09:34 PM PDT

I just noticed that a keyboard shortcut that I had added to a Word 2010 and a Word 2003 template was missing. When I tried to reinsert it using Customize the Ribbon > Keyboard the system would not recognize that key combination. It had no problem with Ctrl+Alt+F4 (or F6) but just did not like F5. I am wondering if some other program has hijacked that key combination. In the meantime, I will probably just change to one that can be used.

I have Snagit, but none of its keyboard shortcuts are to F5 variants.

Word will not do anything

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 06:10 PM PDT

I open Word 2007 and I get Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable. I have gone through the suggested fix and it is set that way, still not working. I go to insert a pic and I get An error occurred while importing this file. I also had a look and it seems that Content.Word file is corrupted. Could this be the cause, and if so how do i fix this? I use word for everything, and Im trying to write up a proposal

Seeking Report Template

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 05:13 PM PDT

I have searched through the MS Templates available up to Word 2013 but I cannot find a template for a formal business report.

Such template would have to use the LEGAL heading numbering format.  Apart from that, the less frilly the better.

I have written my own - and that's fine - but the people on my team with less facility with Word need something to use and I don't want it obvious that they get everything from me.

Does MS have such a template, and if so where do I find it?

Thanks

How do I install Chinese and Vietnamese fonts in Office 2010?

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 04:50 PM PDT

Hello,

I need to install Chinese (Taiwanese) and Vietnamese fonts on a PC. I have tried language packs but this is not what the person wanted. Language packs change the entire Windows system to a foreign language. I simply want to keep English but have the capability to install  alternate language fonts. I would also rather not go to a web site other than Microsoft to avoid malware.

Thanks,

Dan

How to make a document always open in print layout showing all markup?

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 04:34 PM PDT

We heavily rely on the track changes feature of Word. Since we've switched to office 2013, there have been two problems with track changes. (1) The default setting for displaying tracked changes is for "Simple Markup" (Which doesn't indicate what changes have been made!) instead of "All Markup", and (2) When you open a Word document from Outlook, it opens in "Read Mode" (which also hides tracked changes!) by default, instead of "Print Layout".

Obviously, I can easily switch over to "Print Layout" and "All Markup" on my computer when someone sends me a document with tracked changes.  The problem I'm having is that when I send a document to other people with tracked changes, they don't see them because the changes are hidden on their computers by default!  Is there a way I can save the display options (print layout and all markup) to a file so that when that file is opened on any computer it will display as desired?

Windows XP Pro Office files seemed to changed file types to "EDPMYJJ" without any known help by me?

Change to default .doc to create word file

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 03:49 PM PDT

I very often create a MS Word Document in folder windows by right clicking > New > Microsoft Word Document.  This action creates a MS Word Document in the folder in .docx format.  I always save in .doc format.  I have to use "Save As" to do this.  I want to set default creation of Microsoft Word Document to .doc format and not .docx format.  How do I do that?

Thank you for your help.
