Over the last 6 months, something has been modified in my system.  When saving files in certain applications as noted above (Word, Excel, Turbotax, Quickbooks, notepad etc) the create date is showing erroneously as a date in March 2000.  

Files downloaded through a browser or copied from the network appear to retain their correct create date.

Since this has been happening over the last few months, how do I identify if this may be caused by a virus, or if a registry entry got accidentally or deliberately modified, or if this may have been caused by a disk hardware corruption?  

If this is the know issue, how can it be resolved?

Thanks

Word 2013 "Normal" Style is Not Available

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 02:25 PM PDT

I'm working in a document that has been edited and copied many times.

There are dozens and dozens of styles in the style list.  But not "Normal."  There "Normal (web)" whatever that means.  There is "Normal Indent" and "Normal Indent + Centered".  But not "Normal".  I'm showing "All Styles".  Of course, it won't let me create a "normal" style.

I would like to assign some paragraphs to "Normal" so I can try to reformat them in a meaningful way.  Any help?

Thanks.

Prevent Text Boxes in MS Word 2010 from being deleted?

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 01:36 PM PDT

I am creating Letterhead templates for a client. I have been able to prevent a text box from moving by using the Restrict Editing pane. I have also set-up controls, so users can insert names, phone numbers, dates etc.

Is it possible to lock a text box into position to prevent users from deleting or re-sizing it?

My suggestion to the client was to simply "undo" if they accidentally delete. As well, I have created .dotx for them use as read only - so they can always go back to the original if they mess-up.

Are there any work-around solutions or suggestions to prevent users from deleting an editable text-box?

Thank you in advance.

I attempted to open one of my Microsoft excel files today and could not.  Instead, I got this message: 

"We ran into a problem trying to install the product key.  If this keeps happening, you should try repairing your office product.   System error:  Oxc06d007e."

Can anyone help me I fix this problem?  

Thank you!

Word Agenda Wizard - can it be customized?

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 10:56 AM PDT

I like the way the Agenda Wizard works, but would like to customize some things.  For example, we call our Notetaker a Recording Secretary.  Is there a way to change things like that within the wizard rather than having to change the word document each time the Agenda Wizard is used.?

Thanks.

Vary Font Styles within a Table Cell (Word 2013)

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 10:09 AM PDT

I would like to include labels in a table cell that are a different format than the table cell content.  (I am pulling the table cell content from Document Properties, but I don't think that really matters.)  Plus, I am trying to set this up in a template, so I need to get the formatting/style to work automatically as opposed to having to manually space things (as I did for the image below). 

Specifically, as the image below shows, I would like to have the label "Title" in superscript, left justified font, while the actual title is regular font, centered. (And similar things in different cells - doc numbers, dates, etc.)  Changing the font size and type seems doable, but different justification is where I am stuck.

Anyone have any tips or ideas?  I could make a different cell with an invisible border, but that would throw the centering off.

Thanks!

Can't save a Word doc to pdf without stalling out Office

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 09:05 AM PDT

Have suddenly spent over 1 hour on trying to save a word doc (Office 2013) to a pdf. Office goes grey and unresponsive.  I would have thought there are settings which can make any document editable. Why do I need office to give me the bullet proof security features that I don't need or can't manage without IT support?

I have student edition which means to get support I'd have to have a more expensive version. The Chat people suggested I take out a third party help feature for support with technical issues of this nature. My fix was to send an invoice as a screen grab saved as pdf.  Never anticipated that Office would resort to upselling. 

Yes, I did a virus scan.

My "Mark grammar errors as you type" of Word office does not let me click on it.

the option appears in color gray and it does not let me click so I can enable the option.   I will appreciate the help thank you :) .

Word Crashing When Discarding Checkout for Document Stored in SharePoint

Posted: 07 Apr 2015 04:34 AM PDT

We have recently noticed an issue when we have a Word file checked out from SharePoint, if we then discard the checkout from Word, Word crashes. The error details point to an issue in wwlib.dll.

Having done some further investigation into this it appears this only happens if the document has an attached template which contains a custom ribbon.  We use SharePoint 2013 and Word 2010, although I have tested using Word 2013 with the same results.

This was noticed on our company templates which contain a custom ribbon tab and a number of custom buttons. I have since tested it by creating a template with a single button on a custom tab with the same results.

Has anyone else come across this issue and and is there any way to resolve it?

Thanks,

Richard

Issues Using Microsoft Word on HDTV

After connecting my Desktop PC to my HDTV via HDMI, my windows appear on the TV screen, yet why can't I access Microsoft Word?  I have Windows Vista, but what else do I need to do to be able to have the ability for word processing through my HDTV screen?

Hiding styles on a building block after it is used

Posted: 06 Apr 2015 11:16 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a Word 2010 template with some built-in and some custom styles. The template also has a built-in front cover that has some cover styles (i.e. cover title, cover date, etc).

I have set up these styles as "always hidden" on the template, but every time I add the cover the styles become visible, making my styles list/panel messy.

Is there a way to ensure that these styles stay hidden even if I insert the cover?

Thanks in advance.

Is there Any Way to Hide Section Notation in Footer?

Posted: 06 Apr 2015 09:38 PM PDT

On a landscape page with the header/footer in the portrait orientation, the section number label covers up the rightmost text of my footer. Is there any way to hide the section number label so I can see my text while still in footer edit mode? Otherwise I have to get out of edit mode to check and this ends up with a lot of back and forth between footer edit mode and text checking.

Viewing vs. printing tables problem

Posted: 06 Apr 2015 07:41 PM PDT

HELP!  I have Word 2010 home version.  When I view my word table in web layout, it looks fine.  Any other view and part of the last column doesn't show.  When I go to print it, part of the last column doesn't print.  My margins are good for letter size paper, basically the narrow option.   I even tried to scale size to paper option.  That doesn't work either.  Any suggestions or recos?  Thx.

Word won't change to automatically save as .doc file type.

Posted: 06 Apr 2015 07:20 PM PDT

I have changed the default save type in the Word options to .doc instead of .docx and clicked ok. However when I go to save a file after it still tries to save it as a .docx file type. I need to have to automatically save as .doc as this is on a computer of a friend who is somewhat technologically disadvantaged and he needs .doc files and can't change it manually each time. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it!
