Lost complete access to Word document

I wrote a few short stories years ago and I put a password on each of them. I do not remember the password. Is there any way that I can regain access to them?

Advanced Find and Replace Query

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 01:09 PM PDT

So I'm cleaning up some texts, and they have fancy hyperlink "Page X" in little grey boxes interspersed through the document. This document is quite long, and I don't want to take them all out by hand. However, I can't seem to create a find a replace that hits page + ascending number, nor can I make one that takes out the hyperlink after I F9 reveal it -- the final } when I do that is some strange format that the find and replacer can't locate. 

Any tips?

Sample wanted - a Word document using all styles

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:38 AM PDT

I would like a Word document or template that I can pass around a small office to look at a variety of style and theme settings. Can someone point me to a report that has many of the options that might be used like quotes, numbered lists, a table of content, an index, etc.? I'm looking for something that we can all sit around and look at on screen and choose a set of styles and fonts that we would all use for an office template. I've looked at a half dozen or so templates but none that I have found so far have more than a couple of pages.

Thanks

Bubble content not readable

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:31 AM PDT

In my document, the content in the bubbles, using Track Changes, is not readable. It is either an extremely small font, or just short little horizontal lines. I've tried every thing I can find or think of to make it possible to read the bubble content, especially for comments.  "Show comments" did not help.  How do I make settings that permit me to read bubble content?

Thanks.

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:09 AM PDT

Hi,

As the post title says, Word por-up an error always I open the document: "This document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?"

I tried to break links, rename the document, etc, but the error is persistent. It follows a screenshot with more detail:

Office 365 - Newer but not better

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:06 AM PDT

I cannot be the only ordinary consumer to be so deeply frustrated at the mass of faults with office 365.

It is graphically a dogs breakfast, has a confused UI and is full of ways to make what used to be easy now needlessly complicated and unstable.

I have simple lost count of the hours I have wasted trying to work with the applications that were previously so much more manageable and I have lost work countless times with hanging, dropping out and glitching.

The result is so unsatisfactory and leaves consumers struggling to de-bug and fix troubles that really should never have been there.

If you didn't know any better you would probably think this is how it is going to be; but really,  could no-one at Microsoft realise that when you make something newer your customers also expect it to be better.

So unhappy with this mess I now have to work with.

Has anyone got a summary of sensible measures to address the obvious faults that no doubt most users are struggling with?

and why, by the way do I have to select from a list of categories which do not apply in order to be able to post anything??

...so the negative comments are hidden away no doubt :(

Issues with Word Compatibility Pack after installing OneNote

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PDT

I work in a school where we have Office 2003 installed and the appropriate compatibility pack installed so staff with newer versions of Word at home can open documents in school.

I recently installed OneNote on my class computer and since then, docx files that open on other computers won't open.

Can anyone think of a reason for this? I really don't want to uninstall OneNote as it offers a really simple way to get photographs from my iPad on to the computers.

Thanks for any advice!

Mail merge using outlook 365 on my server

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 09:12 AM PDT

Hello friends,

A friend of mine owns a company and 5-6 users are using the same contacts groups found in office 365 - exchange (cloud).

He needs to create a mail merge every now and then using this shared contact group.  The problem is that the user might be the one or the other each time.

I have tried to make mail merge using his PC (MS-Word 2013) using outlook  contacts and works just fine. 

If i move the mail merge template to another PC it doesnt work properly since it looks in e.g. C: userABC....

Is there any way to make mail merge using the contacts directly from outlook 365 (cloud) or any other way to have this mail merge in the server?

Thanking you in advance,

Word-Drop Down List

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 08:49 AM PDT

Within a Word document, I would like to have an outline.  I would like to have hidden information under each of the bullet items that would appear with the drop down list function.  So, at first all you would see would be the box with the drop down arrow and when you click on the arrow the next level of bullets would appear. It is just a hidden list you don't have to select anything from the list.  Then, the list could close and you continue  reading the Word document until you come to another bullet with a list to view more information.

It would function similar to what I see on this entry screen where you have:

Category:

-Select One- (drop down arrow)

Then, the list appears. 

My example:

  • Opens to contact view (drop down button here)
    • Use icons to switch views
    • Can manually change status
  • Find and add contacts (drop down button here)
    • Type name, department or title in search bar
    • Right click, Add (can select multiple, can search groups)
    • Can create a new group
    • Click New to see who has added you

Adding page numbers to a book

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 08:15 AM PDT

Is it possible to add page numbers to a book that are printable?  I seem to always get hung up in the header/footer situation where the numbers can be seen on screen but will not print.  Do I simply forego words on each page to insert a page number or is there another way?  TY

Given the number of acronyms in use across the world, is would be immensly productive to have an acronym cross reference list capability akin to a bibliography or table of authorities.

Windows opened in Excel and Word won't maximize from the task bar - Solution

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 08:03 AM PDT

I've run into a problem with Word and Excel on multiple computers, both at home and at work, in which Word and Excel files won't maximize from the task bar after you open them. It has only happened to me with Office 2013. It seems to occur when I already have a document open in Word or Excel and then try to open a second or third one of the same file type. The solution I've discovered is to click on the "Restore Desktop" button in the very righthand lower corner of the monitor. After doing that, the window comes right up the next time I try to maximize it.

I think Microsoft missed a bug in their program.

Placing text boxes over a table

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 12:48 AM PDT

I'm trying to make what seemed like a relatively straightforward document using Word 2010. The basic premise is that it's a schedule to show timelines for various projects planned for the coming fiscal year. I have created a table that shows the main objectives on the left and the months at the top. I then tried to just overlay some text boxes over the month cells to show each individual project and its expected planning period.

However, it seems the way Word anchors text boxes makes it nearly impossible to do this, as the text boxes get anchored inside cells and they jump all over the place when moved around, especially when trying to place two text boxes close together. I cannot even use the cursor keys for precision movement, because moving a box, say, to the right will cause it to shift to the upper right or lower left or god knows where else. Is there any way around this behavior?

2013 Office Language Preferences

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 12:06 AM PDT

Hello,

I have installed Office 2013 Home & Student and updated the language preferences, however I am unable to have Word edit Portuguese (Portugal).

This language appears as Enabled/Installed (showing the ABC editing check mark) under File>Options>Language, but this is not the case when editing the actual document, where the ABC check mark is no longer visible during language selection.

I do not have a problem with English, French or Spanish.

All proofing packs (Portuguese & Spanish) have been downloaded as the x64 version. I have restarted my computer, but there is no change. I am not sure why the language can show within Word 2013's Options as Enabled/Installed/editable language, but not so when actually editing a document.

I was prompted to install the proofing tool (which I already have as mentioned above) while typing as the program was not able to proof my text. This was after setting Portuguese as Default and restarting Word, but with no effect.

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you beforehand.

Microsoft Word App

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:58 PM PDT

HI,

I started a document on the Microsoft Word App for ipad yesterday.  Closed the app, watched some netflix, went to bed.  Finished the document today, went to the store to get a USB stick...came home and its like the document never existed.  It must have saved because it was there today after closing the app last night.

My assignment is due tomorrow.  I've tried reinstalling the app and logging into my onedrive, its like the document never existed!?!?

Any suggestions...otherwise I'm up all night starting from scratch and never using a microsoft product again!!!!
