Content Control - restrict length

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 02:48 PM PDT

Below code block does not invoke MsgBox if I type more than 10 characters (numbers) - in a .docm with a plain text control. What am I missing or does it not work? I am using Word 2016 preview.

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal CC As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
     If LCase(CC.Title) = "pcode" Then
         If (Not CC.ShowingPlaceholderText) And Len(CC.Range.Text) > 10 Then
             MsgBox "Please enter no more than 10 characters", , "postcode error"
             Cancel = True
         End If
     End If
 End Sub

I recently tried to open my word document and suddenly started saying file was corrupt and when I tried to repair it said file some parts are missing or invalid.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Office 2013 Apps start very slowly.

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 01:20 PM PDT

I have tried just about every suggestion by Doug Robbins, but none have helped.  Other applications on the machine start very quickly, even IE11.

Everything is up to date, yet I still have this issue.  When Office was first downloaded and installed, it worked fine.  Then just about 2 weeks ago, it all started up very slowly.  The safe versions start quickly.  Any suggestions?

Cannot Move Custom Office Templates folder in Office 2013

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 12:43 PM PDT

I just installed Office 2013 on my Windows 7 ultrabook, and I do not want the Custom Office Templates folder in the My Documents folder.  I found an unclear answer at http://superuser.com/questions/610278/ but I tried that and it did not work.  Could someone please step me through clear directions for how to move the folder?  I like to keep the My Documents folder spare, with only 4 subfolders.  Thanks!

MS Word 2010 editing: black blocks and other distortions

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 11:37 AM PDT

When I edit documents in Word 2010 (regardless of what computer I use), I often see big black rectangles or other distortions blocking the text.  The distortions are purely visual -- they don't affect the content -- and they disappear if I scroll up and down a few pages, but they pop up regularly and are  seriously annoying.  Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

I've attached a photo of a typical distortion.

Word 2013 Table of Contents skewing formatting

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 10:16 AM PDT

Most of my TOC formats just fine; however a few items are not placing the page numbers to the far right as they are suppose to. I have checked all formatting and there is no difference between those headings that format correctly and those that do not. Any suggestions to fix this?

IE:

Methodology ............................... xxx

setting xxx

sample ...........................................xxx

The middle example is incorrect. This occurs a few times in my TOC. Please help.

Using check box parameters to link to a bookmark in Word 2010

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 09:06 AM PDT

I would like to use check boxes in a document to link to different bookmarks in a document.

Exemple

****

Female (this will be check box)

Male (this will be check box)

Age

24-40 (this will be a check box)

41-50 (this will be a check box)

if check box Female and 24-40 are selected, this will bring you to a bookmark in the text.

if check box Male and 24-40 are selected, this will bring you to a different bookmark in the text.

if check box Male, female and 24-40 are selected, this will bring you to a third different bookmark in the text.

Etc...

Thank you for your help

Track Changes Doesn't Recognize me As a New Editor

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 08:56 AM PDT

Word 2013.

I was forwarded a document that was created by User 1, then edited by User 2, then edited by User 1.

Both User's additions are showing in Green, and both User's deletions are showing in Red.

Is there a setting to I can see the specific changes that Uswer 2 made?  And then the specific changes that User 1 made?

And, if I may changes, have my edits show in different colors?

Cursor Not Blinking

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 02:20 AM PDT

I have just started using MS Office 2013 on a new HP laptop and while editing in Word I suddenly lose my blinking cursor insertion point so I cannot see whereabouts in a particular word my cursor is. It works ok in Print layout view but not Draft view, which is what I usually use. I have tried shutting Word down but still the same problem. It happened for a short while yesterday but then started working again and now this morning it isn't working again in any of my documents. I expect there is a setting somewhere that needs turning on or off but haven't a clue what to do. Any ideas how to fix this annoying problem?

There are older posts in the forum about this happening to other people but none of their replies have helped solve it on my laptop or are too old to apply to 8.1 version.

Setting Font Color to No Color

Posted: 01 Apr 2015 10:12 PM PDT

Dear Word experts,

  I format a multilevel list linked with styles. By default I see the following dialog:

As far as I understand, No Color means no special setting, that is a color specified by corresponding style.

However, if I change this setting to something else, I cannot revert it back to No Color (governed by style).

Can you suggest me a way to switch from a custom setting (for example Automatic) back to No Color please?

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Hyperlinks no longer working in Word

Posted: 01 Apr 2015 09:32 PM PDT

I have Windows 8.1 and the software is Office Home and Student 2007. I loaded software onto my new laptop and even though hyperlinks are enabled they are no longer working - they appear as text only.  I've tried to follow advice on numerous message boards to no avail. Called help line and they want $149 just to attempt to help me. Not going to happen. Please help.

Microsoft Word 2013 Will Not Work

Posted: 01 Apr 2015 09:12 PM PDT

Whenever I try to open a document Microsoft Word 2013 just crashes and restarts the program. It works in safe mode, but I do not know A) How to get it into safe mode on my own and B) Safe mode is not meant to be used all the time. I tried turning off the cloud sync, add ons. I tried the troubleshooter and running it in every Windows version and it still does this. I looked online but nothing has helped. I can open blank new documents, but the moment I try to save it Word crashes and restarts with the file unsaved even under "unsaved files".
