| Posted: 09 Apr 2015 03:00 PM PDT I like to have my documents open pretty much the full size of the screen. Word and Excel both do this, but if I already have a document open, all others opened in the same program will be shifted down to expose the frame of the first document. It isn't cascading them, as all documents after the first are all in the same position. The size of the window is the same as the first, just shifted down. To see how this works, open a document in Word. Make sure the window is not maximized. Then open another document without closing the first. The 2nd window is lower than the first. The same happens with Excel. Is there a way to have the document windows always opened in the same spot? I'm using Windows 8.1, but it happened on my Windows 7 machine as well. Thanks. |

| Where did my clip art go in Word? Why was it replaced with such horrible pictures that don't work? Posted: 09 Apr 2015 01:54 PM PDT All of my clip art has changed in Word. When I insert clip art into document, and change it to in front, It will not move the clip art to where I want it. The menu it shows is for pictures...insert frame, not the menu for clip art. I used the old clip art all the time and never had a problem with placement. It's very frustrating trying to create a document when you have no control of where the placement is. If I go to Bing for clipart, it looks ok on the screen but doesn't print where I put it and cuts the bottom of the picture off. It seems like everything in the program isn't working the way it used to. If I get clip art into a document, the program is using set positions and you can't place the clip art where you want it. When I ran the diagnostic program, it says there's nothing wrong??? Not so! It seems to me that every time there is an update to install, my program has a bad reaction to it and never works the same as before. Can any of the above be fixed?

| Spell Check not working on another language Posted: 09 Apr 2015 01:27 PM PDT Hello I need to write a letter in another language. So I added the language in > Language Preferences > Add additional Editing languages. Chose Swedish. I installed the Proofing pack when I was prompted to, so that keyboard layout is Enabled and Proofing ... is Installed. I choose Swedish in Set Proofing Language I also make Swedish the Default in BOTH set proofing language AND in Language Preferences but the spell check is not working
I tried all this with French, and all worked fine. Although I'm very confused as to why there is a set default in Set Proofing AND set default in Preferences. Because messing about between French and English, in the same document, the spell check picked out errors correctly in both languages even though Set Proofing Default was left on Swedish!! I know it's because I have 'detect language Automatically' checked but what the point of the default, both defaults?
I have noticed that in Set Proofing Language, both English and French have a ABC Icon (spell check I guess) but the Swedish doesn't. Which must be the problem.
Can anyone please help me with this.

| Office 2010 Mail Merge not working as of today? Posted: 09 Apr 2015 12:18 PM PDT I have been using Office Home & Student 2010 for quite awhile. I do mail merges everyday and have never had a problem. Today, something is wrong with the software. I attempted to do a merge by first selecting the recipients and clicking on use existing list. I select the list and then click edit recipient list. It's incredibly slow to load. Then when I sort by last name it takes a really long time saying "not responding" and then the list is complelely blank like it's dumped all the info. The list is fine because I can open it in Excel with no trouble. This is the same thing I have done everyday for a year or more with no trouble, so what has happened to the software today? I restarted the computer and it still does it. Help! I have mail I need to get out today! |
| Word document stays locked after a name change (save as...) Posted: 09 Apr 2015 11:21 AM PDT Hello to all, I've got a weird one. After oneping a Word 97-2003 document with Word 2013 and renaming the document (save as...), my coworkers can't open the originale file. You get the message that it's being used by another user. If I close the new document, thay can now open the file. An image is worth a thousand words. I tought that if you changed name of a document, the old one would still be available to be opened and changed by other users. Is this a bug? And is there a workaround? Thanks and have a nice day.

| Forms - Change drop down field entry back to blank Posted: 09 Apr 2015 09:49 AM PDT I have created a form with drop down list fields. Once someone has selected an item from the list, they realize they entered it by mistake. They now want to leave the field blank, as it was prior to selecting an entry from the drop down list. But there does not seem to be any way to delete the original entry/selection from the drop down list. Other than adding a new entry to the drop down list selections that is just a number of spaces (creating a blank entry in the drop down list), is there any way a user can just delete the item s/he selected originally (and leave it blank)? |
| Posted: 09 Apr 2015 09:45 AM PDT When I try to run the apps, this is what I get: Problem Event Name: BEX Application Name: WINWORD.EXE Application Version: 15.0.4701.1000 Application Timestamp: 54d9bb8f Fault Module Name: unknown Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Offset: 003dd950 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 00000008 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 The only difference is when I try to run Excel, or any of the others the Application Name is different. I uninstalled the previous version of Office that was on this computer. Not sure where to go from here. Running Windows 7 |
| Posted: 09 Apr 2015 09:24 AM PDT After installing Word 2013, I started recording my macros to give simple keyboard commands to insert various symbols I use a lot. But pressing the keyboard command I programmed them with does nothing. No error message or anything. But they are listed under Macros in normal.dotm when I open the Macros window. I had a similar problem in Word 2010, and that was that the Templates folder in Windows/Users/MYNAME/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft was not actually named Templates. But this isn't the case this time around, so once again I'm at a loss. |
| Conditional use of image in mail merge. Posted: 09 Apr 2015 09:08 AM PDT In a mail merge, if one of the input fields is "no" I want to insert an image. Otherwise, I do not want to insert the image. How can I do this? Thanks |
| "When selecting, automatically select entire word" unchecks itself and must be re-checked Posted: 09 Apr 2015 08:50 AM PDT In Word Options|Advanced, I have checked "When selecting, automatically select entire word." However, every once in a while, I find that it has spontaneously become unchecked, and I must check it again. Any reason why this might happen? Thanks. |
| Edit Chart Data in Microsoft Word 2013 Not Popping Up Posted: 09 Apr 2015 08:20 AM PDT When I click "Edit Chart Data" for a chart in my word document, it acts like the mini excel table popped up, but nothing is visible. It thinks it's open, as I can't try to edit data in another chart (it says I have another chart's data open). Previously, I've solved it by just closing the file and opening it up over and over again until it works, but that strategy seems to be failing me. Please help! |
| Page x of y across sections in Word 2010 Posted: 09 Apr 2015 03:59 AM PDT I draft my reports in Word 2010 and use section breaks to separate the title page (section 1), contents (section 2), main body (section 3 to 10) and appendices (section 11). The main body of the report is sub-divided into sections so that each one has a unique header (section 3 to section 10). In the footer I use page x of y. I can easily set the x value to be continuous across the relevant sections - for instance starting at section 3 and ending at section 10 but how can I make the y value show the total number of pages from section 3 to section 10 inclusive? |
| How do I disable "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style"? Posted: 09 Apr 2015 12:44 AM PDT Split from this thread. We are trying to permanently disable the 'don't add space between paragraphs of the same style' option. We are using Word 2010. I have see your reply previously to change in the Apply Styles pane, but, unfortunately I am not following. Would you kindly provide me with a step by step instruction on this (I am unable to find the Apply Styles and when I (Ctrol+Shift+Alt+S) control then I do not know where you say type in List Paragraph. Hence my request for complete instructions. Also, can we switch of this formatting style in already created templates? Many thanks. Kind regards, |
| Word 2010 changing some punctuations to Times New Roman while typing Posted: 09 Apr 2015 12:14 AM PDT Hi, Apologies if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything after looking. I have a word document I use to write my Uni notes in saved to Dropbox. It worked fine until I tried to edit it on my phone in their app. Now, for some reason, when I type (on my desktop) apostrophes ('), speech marks (") or ellipses (...), Word changes them from the normal font of Calibri to Times New Roman. I did some sleuthing, and found a few things that may help:
Perhaps Word is finding the wrong character when looking to replace the straight quotes with smart ones? Or maybe there's something wrong with my Calibri font (but this doesn't explain why other documents are fine)? Thanks for your help, Cameron |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2015 09:49 PM PDT Hi Community, Pressed Ctrl + Enter to skip to next page. Page break is on previous page. Heading on the following. I clear formatting for previous page but formatting is also cleared for the page with the heading. Why is this happening and how can i fix it? Thanks in advance |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2015 09:30 PM PDT In Microsoft word. I typed my letter and then I did some setting. I decided not to use the setting and thought if I clicked on 'RESET DEFAULT" It will return to the original setting it was programed to. It did not return to the original . I then realized that it was set so that every time you type a letter it will use that setting. I can not figure out how to undo the setting. I uninstalled Microsoft office and reinstalled. Every thing remained the same nothing changed. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? |
| How can I use a macro to navigate activex controls in word 2013? Posted: 08 Apr 2015 07:21 PM PDT Please only answer with respect to how this can be done in Word, as that is where the template must be used. I have created a template form in Word. It uses ActiveX controls. Each of the controls, for simplicity sake in this discussion, have been named tab1 through tab29. I am well aware that this may not be the best naming practice... but again... just for simplicity sake, let's keep it at that: tab1 through tab29. I chose to use ActiveX controls, because the new standard controls do not allow me to set a maximum number of characters. Something that is a necessity, as I can't have the form morphing out of control when the end user types too much info. The form must fit on one page no matter how much info the end user tries to provide. I need the end user to be able to press the tab key to move from tab1 to tab2 to tab3 and so on. I had no problem doing this in versions of Office prior to 2007 (I think...) but now... I can't seem to get it working. The only thing I haven't tried so far, is locking the form down - protecting it - because I am not sure I am done developing it. (If someone tells me that doing so is all I need to get the tabs working... /facepalm. I really should try it... but I will wait to see what everyone says. LoL.) I tried some things that I found online... to no avail. Even the below, which I had nested in the "document" sub of the VB code for the form. Sub TabOrder() After a bit, I realized that the code had been generated for an earlier version of word, and probably wouldn't work no matter where it was placed... I just don't know enough about coding for word... Or coding in general, and might have to resort to using another product with which I had no problem making the form work the way I wanted... I just really don't want to admit my shortcomings. I want this form to work! Can anyone help me get the navigation working? |
