Microsoft Word - Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 03:16 PM PDT

I must be missing something... Trying to perform a physical print mail merge from a list of business contact manager biz contacts and have the correct mailing address merged with the <<AddressBlock>> merge field preset in a new Word document. By correct, I mean the mailing address (either home, business, or other) that corresponds to the checkbox titled "This is the mailing address" in the BCM contact record.

Many contacts have all three address allocations filled, and we need to send correspondence to the correct mailing address which may be a biz address for one record and a home address for another record. So simply mapping the <<AddressBlock>> components such as Address1 to Business Street (as defaulted in a Word/BCM mail merge document) will not work because every merged letter addressed to those contacts who do not have a business address listed will merge with no address displayed, even if they have a home address listed and the "This is the mailing address" checkbox is checked next to the Home address.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Word won't work now because it says I'm missing VBE6INT.DLL

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 02:26 PM PDT

The OCR software that came with my scanner wasn't working, so I tried downloading Microsoft Document Imaging. I couldn't find a way to download it on its own, but I found instructions on how to download it as part of Sharepoint Designer, then deselecting everything in the installation except for MDI.

Then I found I got that missing VBE6INT.DLL error when I tried to use Word. Word won't even function now.

So I thought maybe I should uninstall MDI, but I couldn't find it in my programs list. So I thought maybe I needed to uninstall Sharepoint Designer (which I already had anyway, but somehow MDI hadn't been a part of it).

 But after the uninstall, Word still doesn't work.

I found a website that says VBE6INT.DLL is probably a file used by more than one Microsoft program and that when you install or uninstall something, that file can be moved so the system can't find it where it thinks it should be.

The site had instructions for fixing it with the CLI, but it didn't work for me.

It also suggested fixing the Registry but only by using Microsoft products since registry cleaners can come with malware. That site recommended WinThrust which turned out to be paid software that isn't connected with Microsoft at all. So I tried to get it to at least fix the first 15 free errors, but it didn't help. I then uninstalled WinThrust.

I tried running Microsoft Security Essentials, but if it fixed any registry problems, it sure doesn't show. Word still won't work.

But now I'm stumped. I don't know what else to try to fix this. Our IT person doesn't know either. Her first solution to everything is to erase everything and reinstall. Help!

Where do I find my Word 2013 product key?

I am thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling Word so as to restore it to its original state.   I suppose I will need my product key, but I forgot where to find it.

Can't get Word 2013 macro-enabled template to work

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:35 AM PDT

Hi Guy's,

I have a macro-enabled template, .dotm, which includes a button on the Quick Access toolbar. Clicking this button runs a macro which saves the files to a location on the user's machine with a generated file name and also gives the user the option to open the folder where it is saved to.

The template was created in Word 2010 and is stored in Word's STARTUP folder for each user, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

all of whom are running Windows 7 professional with a mix of Office 2010 and Office 2013

There are no problems in Word 2010. However when opening a new document in Word 2013 the button appears on the Quick Access toolbar as expected but when clicked the message "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings." is displayed.

I don't understand why this is as all the macros settings are fully enabled, plus

- startup folder being a trusted location

- Macro security set to "enable all macros"

- Template loaded and ticked in the Templates and Add-ins property window

- Protected view turned off

Does anyone have any ideas?

Rebooting Windows 7 with open Word files leaves a mess.

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:17 AM PDT

I'm running Microsoft Word 2007 on Widows 7 .  I usually have a half dozen or more Word files open at the same time.  If Word crashes, or Microsoft comes along in the middle of the night and reboots my system, I'm left with a mess when I restart Word.  In the left pane under "Document Recovery" are all the Word files I had open with "Repaired" notices. When I click one it opens in Word but if I try to save it I get the message:

If I click Show Repairs I always see something about Bookmarks,  like:

I close this and hit Save, where Word wants to save the file under a name that adds "(Repaired)" to the original name.   After the save I then have to go back and rename the last good save of the file under a name that includes the date it was saved, and then rename this new "Repaired" file to the current version of the file, i.e., remove the "(Repaired)". 

This is a real pain to go through every time Word crashes or Microsoft reboots my computer, so how can I avoid this?  I never set or use bookmarks in my Word files so I don't know why it's complaining about Bookmarks.  Is there a way to completely disable them?

Thanks for any help.

Word is slow, but Excel and PowerPoint are not

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:10 AM PDT

Excel and PowerPoint 2007 are percolating along just fine.   Big documents are sometimes slow, but they are big documents, which is to be expected.  I am patient.  However Word is a different animal.  It takes days to just open.  This isn't opening a file, just to open.  Once I'm in, working with a file isn't an issue.  Saving can be slow too.  Any ideas on how to speed up Word?  It seems like there was some event that caused it to slow down, but I can't pin point what caused this (an update, installing something new, phase of the moon, didn't like my new phone).  Thanks!

Displaying Hebrew

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 07:50 AM PDT

Hello:

Having searched, read and not really found what I need, I am asking here.

I have a .doc, which I resaved as docx (Word 2010), with Hebrew in it. The Hebrew shows as jibberish.

At this moment, I do not have to write in Hebrew, just be able to display English and Hebrew in the same document. What do I need to do (I would like to know if I can check what I already have, and the go from there)?

I have Win 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.

Thank you!

Is page x of y possible?

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 07:48 AM PDT

In the version of Word I had before this Word Starter 2010 thing I could put "page x of y" anywhere I wanted. Ever since I got this Word Starter 2010 thing, "page x of y" hasn't happened because I'm not smart enough to understand if it is possible in Starter, let alone figure out how to do it. If anyone knows if page x of y is possible in Starter, and you know of remedial instructions that I may be able to understand, I would greatly appreciate any information you may wish to share on this subject. Thanks, K.

Hi

Is there any way to create a code that would find a closing quotation mark, preceded by full point/period, at the end of a quote starting with lower case, but not at the end of one starting with an initial cap? For example,  it would find 'this is the life.' but would not find 'This is the life.' Likewise, is there a code to do things the other way round, finding 'This is the life'. but not 'this is the life'.?

Finally, is there a code for finding material within parentheses beginning with an initial cap and ending with a full point/period outside, rather than inside, the closing parenthesis? E.g. It would find (Hi there, nice to meet you). but not (Hi there, nice to meet you.)?

I've struggled with these for countless hours but had no success.

Thanks, and best wishes

Automatic switch of font when printing

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 01:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I have been searching through online communities, wikis and all sorts of information sources, but have been unable to find an answer to my question.

Perhaps you can help me.

I'm using Microsoft Word 2013 (15.0.4701.1001) as part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. I am creating manuals for our clients and some of them prefer reading them straight on a computer or tablet, some of them prefer a printed version. I am wondering if I can make a document that is read with a sans-serif font on screen (in this case Calibri), but if the user decides to print the document, the document will automatically be printed with serif font (I'm thinking Cambria)?

Today we simply get around this by making two versions of the same document, but that means double the work when something needs to be revised or reformatted.

Best regards,

Oa

Word 2010 document prints different than it looks, since March's Updates were installed.

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 09:24 PM PDT

After March's Office (2010) and Windows 7 updates, I am having issues with Word 2010. I use a self-created template for a monthly newsletter. The last page, which is a table consisting of three rows, some of which have columns that were merged: The first row has been merged, the second row has two columns with centered text in each, and the third row has been merged.

I have used this template successfully for several months until now. Today, while working on the document containing the last page in question, I attempted to insert a graphic. When I clicked on insert, my mouse (laptop touch pad mouse) started spinning, Word encountered a problem,  when another Windows Update interrupted, but Word returned recovered. Since then, the last page, which never gave me issues before, fills up one page, but is spread slightly to the next, as if there is too much information for one page. I had to remove the last row for the table to fit on one page. Print View shows the table completely filling the page.

However, when I print the page, a large gap or blank space shows where the removed row previously existed. (Again, it appears full while viewing, but not when printed.)

None of my printer settings have been altered, unless an unknown glitch did something to the settings.

I have an Asus laptop, Windows 7, Office 2010. If you need any more information let me know.

I have had the most problems with Windows updates, which messed up my web cam and caused me to have to do a system restore on another occasion. Please help!

Microsoft Word

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 04:22 PM PDT

When I try to open Microsoft word 2013 it tells me that something is preventing is from working properly.  It ask if I want to repair, help or close.  When I check repair it does nothing.  It was working before, but I don't know why it is not working now. Any suggestions?

User Does Not Have Access Privileges

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PDT

I really need help with this because I've been trying to research this problem all day. I can not access a Word document that I saved in one of my folders. All of the other word documents are fine in the same folder but when I press this particular file that I had just saved (approximately 2 seconds had passed before I tried reopening the doc.) the message pops up "Word cannot open the document: User does not have access privileges".

It doesn't make any sense to me because I am the admin and there are no other user profiles on this laptop.

People keep saying that I have to claim ownership of the file but when I try to do that I get another message.

Here's what I did:

  1.  Right click on the document
  2.  Click Properties
  3.  Click Security tab
  4.  Click Advanced
  5.  On top it says Unable to display current owner. I Click on Change
  6. Then it says "You do not have permission to view or edit this Object's permission settings"

If I attach the doc. to an email I can attempt to open it but then I get a message saying that it's corrupted. If it being corrupt means I can no longer access the file EVER because it's damaged, can someone please explain WHY this happened. I worked hard on this doc. and "saved as" under one of my folders I often use, closed Word, then I realized that I needed to add something so I tried to reopen it. I must add that I can actually open the doc. from inside Word but not through File Explorer.   I don't know what any of this means , maybe it's all simple, but I have no idea how to work computers so it would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me please.
