suppress "number of pages"

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 03:08 PM PDT

is it possible to suppress the continual counting of "number of pages" in a document if you wish to pick up with a different numbering system at another location in the document?  Example

Part one:  TOC with individual sections of a standard operating procedures manual p1-60 (showing page Xof60)

Part two:  Appendix beginning on p61.  I would like to have the appendix numbered with Roman numerals  (pages I of XXI)

Is there a way to have section one stop the "number of pages" at 60 and restart the numbering beginning with the Appendix?

Bullet Lists

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 02:35 PM PDT

I have been following the various discussions on the forum regarding establishing numbered and bullet lists.  I find it very confusing (Heading 1, Heading 2, List Paragraph, Normal, etc.,etc.).  I am trying to design a bullet list of five levels with increasing indentations and a custom spacing between levels (e.g. 18 pts).  I have achieved everything except the spacing between levels.  Can anyone explain how to set a custom spacing between levels?

Find and Replace dialogue box pops up involuntarily every minute or so.   Web address highlights and blinks rapidly.  Numbers ghost blink on Word menu bar.  How do I fix?  Thanks,

Issue with Footers

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 01:41 PM PDT

I'm working in Word 2007 and whenever I save a document, the program automatically adds the file path as a footer.  I remove the footer, but as soon as I save it is added back into the document.  How do I prevent the file path from being added automatically?

Entering info without shifting the rest of the line

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 12:40 PM PDT

I have to fill out an application developed in Word.  It's not a true form; the person who developed it just typed a bunch of underscores. So,  when I type in my information, everything moves to the right which then moves the next item to a new line. Is there a way to enter the information so that it does not add to the length of the line but simply replaces the underscores? Here's an example of what I have to fill in.

Name ________________________________ Email: ___________________________________________________

 Retaining the line created by the underscores is not a requirement.  

I need something easy.  In the "old days" you simply toggled the "insert" key.

Word 2010 - Table of Contents Capitalizing All Words in Header 2

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 12:29 PM PDT

Hi.  I am trying to create a document with a Table of Contents.  Most looks good, but the TOC is Capitalizing all of the text in my Heading 2 even though it is not typed that way in the document.  

This is test of the document

A.              You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.

B.              To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template.

This is what displays in TOC -- (Please ignore outline letter sequence)

  1. YOU CAN EASILY CHANGE THE FORMATTING OF SELECTED TEXT IN THE DOCUMENT TEXT BY CHOOSING A LOOK FOR THE SELECTED TEXT FROM THE QUICK STYLES GALLERY ON THE HOME TAB. YOU CAN ALSO FORMAT TEXT DIRECTLY BY USING THE OTHER CONTROLS ON THE HOME TAB. MOST CONTROLS OFFER A CHOICE OF USING THE LOOK FROM THE CURRENT THEME OR USING A FORMAT THAT YOU SPECIFY DIRECTLY............................................................................................................. 4
  2. TO CHANGE THE OVERALL LOOK OF YOUR DOCUMENT, CHOOSE NEW THEME ELEMENTS ON THE PAGE LAYOUT TAB. TO CHANGE THE LOOKS AVAILABLE IN THE QUICK STYLE GALLERY, USE THE CHANGE CURRENT QUICK STYLE SET COMMAND. BOTH THE THEMES GALLERY AND THE QUICK STYLES GALLERY PROVIDE RESET COMMANDS SO THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RESTORE THE LOOK OF YOUR DOCUMENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONTAINED IN YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE................................. 4


When I go to modify and select the TOC level for Heading 2, any setting for Capitalization is not set, nor is any font chosen that is only capital letters.

Any ideas how I can get my level to display correctly?

Windows 7 microsoft word starter 2010 Click-2-Run configuration failure

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 11:15 AM PDT

Greetings everyone...my biggest fear of this issue, is loosing all my Word files, detrimental actually, and should've had them backed up.  Microsoft Word Starter 2010 seems to have corrupted itself which started while using it.  When I click to open Word, an error message appears:  "Click-2-Run configuration failure" and my remedy was to access Office Starter in "Programs & Features" to run Change for a repair.  Upon access, come to discover the Word Starter program itself had simply disappeared from content listings but Office 2010 and Office Click-to-Run 2010 were still listed.  Clicked on both only to discover there was no Change option listed, only Uninstall?  Then tried to open each of those directly and same Click-2-Run configuration failure error appeared.

Also tried Troubleshooting to no avail.  After some online research became somewhat useless for this specific configuration failure, must be uncommon, with suggested remedy to re-download Word Starter anew, which may work no doubt, but I need to be sure all Word files remain intact, thus have commenced such action.  Then when all else fails, I resort to System Restore for recovery to an earlier date, 3 were listed;  current 3-22-15, 3-17-15 and 3-15-15, nothing else listed.  Chose 3-15-15 being the earliest, ran it, when completed, thought it was too quick at approx 27 min, usually between 1-2 hrs, ended up with an error message similar to;  "System Restore was unable to complete."

Go figure, I'm totally dumbfounded and this is a first since in the past, this would always repair dilemmas?  Seems, there may be a connection between these ailments, I'm at a complete loss here and I surely don't know it all accordingly.  Being dumbfounded and confused here, I would be grateful for any remedy this Community may have, surely I cannot be the only one with this dilemma, thank you so much...James

I have a symbol that is printing at the end of each line in a word document

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PDT

When I cope and paste the document to show you the symbol it is not there!!

I find it very hard to create documents as it is hard to see what it will look like until I print it 

There are also "dots" between each word. The symbol is directly after the last letter, if I space down a line it is in the blank line as well. 

Thank you

Reading data from the Document Properties

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 10:01 AM PDT

Hi there,

I am trying to read the document properties (i.e. Name, Title, Tags, Subject) from outside the word document. At this moment I am able to open the word document and press Alt+F11 so that VBA window opens and search data within the application

e.g.

Sub Test ()

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Name  

End Sub

Basically I have to conduct searches within thousands of word files which makes it very time consuming. I recently noticed that Office 2010 has the 'Documents Properties' information which I am able to add Title or Tags. I have spent an awful lot of time researching ways of conducting my search via the Tags attribute but I haven't being able to. 

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ways of looking up the document properties via VBA or C# code.

I thank you in advance for your time and help.

I look forward for any suggestions.

Regards,

Read-Only Documents from Box, Office 365 Account required

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 09:21 AM PDT

I'm able to open doc files from iCloud and Box, but when I open files from Box (from within the Word app) they open as read-only stating that I need an Office 365 account to edit them.  I can send the same files from my Box app to Word and edit them just fine, but I'm unable to save them back to Box using that method.  If I don't need an Office 365 account to open and edit from iCloud, why would I need one for Box?

I am not going to buy an office 365 subscription.  My employer provides my computer and software at work.  I did buy a reduced-cost license for Office on my home computer through my employer, but this is only in case I would need to work on work documents at home.  I have no other use for any Office products.  If my employer decides to go with 365, then I'll have that account.  Otherwise, it would be downright wasteful for me to have an ongoing expense for something that I personally have little use for.

With Office Mobile, however, I'm trying to use my iPad as a laptop replacement so it's imperative that I have the app.  Specifically, I work with agreements and send and received documents with tracked changes, so I'm stuck with using Word itself rather than one of your more-than-capable competitors.  I'm even willing to pay an upfront price to buy the Word app with all of its features open, but I will not pay an ongoing subscription cost.

So, having said that, is anyone able to confirm that it is Microsoft's intention to force us to buy a 365 subscription to edit documents from Box, or is this a bug? 

Word for ipad output large PDF?

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 08:59 AM PDT

I kind of asked this question in a reply to an existing post.  Now I'm going to try it in a much simpler way.  My question is, how do you output a large PDF file from Word for ipad?  The file size I'm talking about is bigger than what is allowed by email.   I was hoping the file would show up in itunes and be able to be worked with that way, but none of my Word files show up in itunes.

Track Changes Protected Document but with Fillable Forms

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 08:27 AM PDT

I'd like to make some Word files available on our website (they're agreement documents) with fillable forms if our partners find the terms acceptable that they can just fill out the relevant information and the agreement still be ready for them to sign, or protected with track changes in case they'd like to suggest changes to the terms.  Is it possible to have both in the same Word doc?

Custom heading style not applying?

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 07:15 AM PDT

Hello!

I'm having an issue where a custom heading style isn't consistently applying the paragraph setting. These two headings are both my custom style, but one shows the proper spacing (18pt spacing before, 24pt spacing after), and the other does not.

I can't figure out why one of these changes has stuck and the other has not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hyperlink from Word Doc to Access .accde file opens ACCESS, but database does not open

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 06:49 AM PDT

I have a hyperlink in a Word Document to an Access .accde database and this has historically opened the database, but that is no longer working.  Access does open to a page with available templates.   In Word, the following error is returned:  An unexpected error has occurred.   What needs to be done so that this database can be opened again via the link.

High Level Overview of fillable forms needed

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 06:36 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have inherited a LOT of templates from a previous IT guy at this company.  They all work except looking at them, I can see a progression in how he set things up.  There are templates that use MergeFields to prompt for user input, there are templates that use "form" type objects that users choose from (I am not as familiar with these) and there are a few templates where a form is thrown up as the template fires, data is captured there and then this data is either stuffed into bookmarks or (maybe) document properties.

I sort of need a high level overview of forms and the "best practice" way of working with them.  I have observed the following:

- it seems as though if you put fields (e.g. pick lists etc) onto a document itself, the only way to make them "work" is to protect the document.  This works but then the user cannot do free-form typing anywhere else in the form.  Is this correct?  Or is there a way to have both form objects on the document "face" itself along with fillable areas?

- when a user form is used instead, the data is moved to the document via bookmarks - would this better/easier stuffing them into document variables?  (not that I have done this, I just know that they exist from some previous work).

It just seems like such a hodge-podge of different style that if there is a better way, I would like to start doing that and slowly change all the appropriate templates to use the same format.

Oh, they are mostly using Office 2010 although the development machine they have given me to use is Word 2007 (because of another application that needs that).  If there is a difference between versions, I need to know that.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick

how to lock a field while recording a macro

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 06:27 AM PDT

I made a letter template with my return address, the date, a salutation, and a closing.  I inserted a date field for the date.

Then I recorded a macro, NewLetter, which opens the template, and put this macro in the Quick Access Bar for convenience.

It works very nicely, EXCEPT that when I open a letter later on, that I created this way, the date field automatically updates, which is not what I want.

I read that to lock a field, I should select the field and press Ctl-F11.  But it seems that I can't select the field while the macro is recording.

Suggestions?

Thank you.

Is there a way to do number format in a fillable form?

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 05:51 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013.

By number format -   one field I would like a dollar sign above it

Another will be numbers in the thousands, so have the comma appear when they type.

Thanks in advance

Small bar located on the right side and bottom of MS Word documents has disappeared.

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 04:03 AM PDT

Hello experts, 

I have lost the small bar which is located on the right side and bottom of MS Word documents.  This bar helps in moving the document up and down and right and left.  In its absence, I have to use arrow keys to move the document up and down, right and left which kills a lot of time. 

I tried to locate this bar but in vain.  Could you please guide me how I can retrieve that bar?

Thanks and regards,

'Title1' field won't pick up titles in shapes...?

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 12:51 AM PDT

Hello, anyone? :) I'm not sure if these are the right forums to ask some amazing folks for help, but I'll give it a go.. Please see the picture below. I have no problem referencing titles elsewhere in the document and the title in question shows up in the contents table as well. But the field in the heading just won't pick up on titles in a 'shape' object. Could anyone come up with an elegant way around this? This situation will occur on multiple pages throughout the document and I want to build this in a clean and solid way since I'll be using the template for multiple documents. Any advice would be much appreciated _(__)_ In any case, have a wonderful day :)


The field says "ERROR! THERE IS NO TEXT OF THAT STYLE (Title 1) IN THE DOCUMENT". -yeah right
