Microsoft Word - Word 2013 restarts when I close it

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 restarts when I close it

Word 2013 restarts when I close it

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 12:17 PM PDT

My Word 2013 (all updates on Win 8.1) has suddenly started giving a message "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information" when I close it. Sometimes it even reopens by itself

I tried a repair - no change.

I then completely uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 and it is still doing it.

It does it when Word is in Safe Mode as well.

I have disabled all addins and in the Trust Center I have stopped any apps from opening. Excel and PowerPoint don't do it.

HELP - it's driving me mad.

How do you close the thesaurus/dictionary window after using the shortcut for Thesaurus (Shift F7)?

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 12:14 PM PDT

Hi, apart from having to move the cursor over to the top right side of the screen and clicking the close button (which takes a lot of time), is there a quick way to close the thesaurus/dictionary window after having opened it for a word using shift-F7?

Thanks

deleting unwanted figure labels

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:40 AM PDT

Somehow I managed to have about 400 figure labels in my document. I really only have 20 figures. What I think happened was that one label was a number and it accepted this as the label number and so it tagged a huge amount of figures labels to this document. 

This will be a burden when I merge this chapter with the other chapters and then try to print out a table of contents. How do I get rid of these labels, is there something in insert caption that will allow me to delete unwanted labels?

Another question how do merge chapters so that I only have one list of references using endnote

Word 2013 saves all docs as Word 2007...just started doing this yesterday!

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 08:23 AM PDT

Graduate student here, freaking out!  I am working on several research papers.  All were saved as Word 2013 .docx files.  Yesterday, I went to open one, and it came up in 'read only' 'compatibility mode'.  Upon looking, every single word doc saved on this laptop have been converted back to a 2007 version, even though this machine has never had Word 2007 on it. 

If I open a new document, save it to my Desktop or anywhere, it shows it's a 2007 Word doc.  This means all my embedded graphs and charts are now completely messed up!  What gives?

Lost part of Document

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 02:49 AM PDT

I'm posting this to help out my girlfriend.

She has been busy with school work and been working on a document for quite some time now.

Today she turned on her Acer laptop with Windows 8.1 and opened the document to finish off her work to find that part of the document has been deleted. 
A whole list of references has been deleted from the bottom of one of the questions she had to answer. 

I have tried and tried to find and older version of it or a back up of it but I can't find it anywhere.

Please help :)
