Microsoft Word - "Close Window" for Word docxs not showing at taskbar

Microsoft Word - "Close Window" for Word docxs not showing at taskbar


"Close Window" for Word docxs not showing at taskbar

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 10:33 AM PDT

When I press the right click at a taskbar icon I can "close window".

But when that icon taskbar is a Word docx I don't see "close window" as an option.

How can I add that option, ie, that when I open that Word icon I can "close window"?

How to get Word to always open up with web layout view

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 09:13 AM PDT

I know how to edit the normal template (right click and select Open). I have done this, and after Word has been closed for a while, when I open up Word the new file doc opens up in web layout view (how I want it).

But after opening up a document saved in the traditional print layout, when I hit the icon in the QAT for a new file, or close out that doc, then open up a new doc (say, by right clicking on the Word icon in the taskbar), I very often get a new document opened up in the print layout.

How do I make Word ALWAYS open up with a web layout view?

How to continuously add more lines on an inventory form when more items are needed

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 08:10 AM PDT

I have created an inventory consignment form with Word and will always have the first description line and the first item line but could then have 2-200+ more items to enter.   Is there a way to tell the form to create another line if it is needed or am I restricted to opening another form to continue on ?

Checking for Errors in Using Endnotes and Cross-references AND Quickest Way to Format Endnotes So It is Similar to Autonumbering Format Style

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 07:38 AM PDT

How do I check for errors in the utilization of endnotes and cross-references? These are things that I am worried about:

1. using manual superscripted numbers instead of putting in endnotes and cross-references (so that at the next update, the error might not be caught). Is there a way to catch this efficiently? The document is being touched by numerous individuals, and not all are adept at using endnotes at this time so I'm worried that some might make this error.

2. how does the "error not defined" show up? Where does it show up? In what instances does it show up? Should we just trust that if we update fields and no "error not defined" shows up, that it is all good and we don't have to check for anything else?

I'm also looking for the quickest way to format endnotes so that instead of superscript, it is not superscripted. Is there a way to do this automatically? We utilize endnotes for our reference list and we have a certain way we wanted it formatted (format we want is similar to autonumbering format). Is there a way to do this?

Thank you so much for all your help!!!!

Incorrect Fonts Displayed in Word 2013 (and other apps)

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 07:19 AM PDT

I'm having some difficulty with fonts displaying correctly in a document within Office 2013. The font displays correctly in the ribbon, but not in the document itself. It also doesn't print correctly. Below is what I see:

As you can see, the font displayed in the document looks more like Arial than Eurostile, and this issue exists with other fonts as well. When trying to get help in the Office 365 forum, I was referred here, since this is not the online version (itself rather frustrating and confusing, because my subscription says Office 365 on it).

The issue is uniform in all Office products.

I'm very frustrated with this, and am ready to dump 2013 and go back to an old 2010 version that I still have a license for. But as this was a new system that included an Office 365 subscription, I decided to give it a shot. But so far, I'm not able to use it to print the formats that I want to use.

I even went and purchased the Eurostile font, which didn't seem to help.

Word 2013 Envelope Dialog Box

Posted: 11 Apr 2015 06:57 AM PDT

When I click on envelopes to print an envelope from my letter, I don't get the usual dialog box that displays the return and mailing address.  Instead I get a box called Envelope Options that creates a separate envelop-looking document and gives me a warning that my letter will be altered.  All I want to do is print an envelope from my letter and retain my letter.  All versions of MS Word to this point have done that for me.  Not sure how to correct this problem.  Please help!

Content Control - clear text specific CCs not delete CC

Posted: 10 Apr 2015 07:45 PM PDT

Hi, I have a letter.dotx Word 2016 (testing) with Rich Text CC [Body of Letter] encased in a Rich Text CC locked for no deletion and editing.

When the saved document is opened OR the template Letter.dotx is opened via File New if the Body of Letter CC has text in the CC I want to put a macro to

Clear Body of Letter CC content only so the user can reuse a letter (not best practice but usual) or clear text from the precedent on File New because they want to type new text in body or paste or use a building block etc.

  1. I am not sure that I even need to encase the CC in the CC. Is it necessary?
  2. Macro to clear [Body of Letter] CC only and place cursor ready for typing.

Many thanks.

Macropod's Mailmerge Tutorial - a question

Posted: 10 Apr 2015 05:51 PM PDT

As a novice to mailmerge, I've been trying to follow Macropod's tutorial for doing a mailmerge.  Specifically, a mail merge which calculates Group and Sub-Group totals such as shown on page 15 of the tutorial.  The input is an Excel file.

It seems to be working except for a very basic thing

For each page, I'm trying to include a "standard" address heading of

name            = {MERGEFIELD NAME}

address        = {MERGEFIELD ADDRESS}

city               = {MERGEFIELD CITY}

state             = {MERGEFIELD STATE}

But what I get in the heading of each are the text strings "MERGEFIELD NAME",  "MERGEFIELD ADDRESS" etc.  not the actual values from the Excel records.  What am I missing??

Thank you

Cant open microsoft word/office 2013 or dropbox because "the procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library"?

Posted: 10 Apr 2015 05:16 PM PDT

I've had office 2013 for over a year and never had this issue before.

I installed dropbox a few days ago in order to share a word document with a couple of other people.  Today was the first time I tried opening the document since doing so.

When I attempted to open it an error message stating "the procedure entry point ... could not be located in the dynamic link library..." popped up.

Since then I've tried to open different word documents as well as dropbox and the other office products on my pc but the same error message comes up in each case.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so any advice on how to fix it? I don't know much about computers or software so any help is appreciated.

Below is a copy of the specific error message that pops up when I try opening the shared word document. I would've done a screenshot instead but those are copied to the dropbox clipboard and when I tried opening them that same error message pops up. 

---------------------------
explorer.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point NdrpReÌäÑÜÅÓéÙÅÅßÛmatString could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ole32.dll.
