| Keep colors and formatting when copying and pasting word documents 2013 Posted: 16 Jan 2015 02:04 PM PST My original saved document (docx) has a few different colors and I'm using fonts, paragraphs, and styles to personalize/structure it. I copied and pasted this original document to another new blank page and a lot of my formatting isn't on the copy. Can you direct me on the steps to take to get an exact same copy? Thank you, Vic

| Type and Read Japanese Characters in Word 365 Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:40 PM PST I have Office 365 and am trying to read Japanese Characters in a Word doc. I have a couple questions. My friend who is Japanese is writing a translation in Japanese of some English words for me. I need to then take those into Photoshop. So I want to understand how best that she can write in Word and then share that doc with me and what language pack we both need to write this out? I have Office 365, so maybe it would be easiest to create a doc online that she could just type in directly herself? Not sure if that language pack is supported though. Just trying to make it as easy as possible. Thank you. |
| Microsoft Word Language- -> set proofing language -> "do not check spelling or grammar" not working in document Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:24 PM PST I have a document with several computer software code listings. Some people make these documents with images, but it is much more useful to paste code that in turn can be copied and pasted by the reader or even oneself. I have tried very hard to use the spelling and grammar by selecting the appropriate region and using Language- -> set proofing language -> "do not check spelling or grammar". At first it appeared to work, but after many such sections were selected, it stopped working as if I hadn't set it at all. I tried saving the document. I tried re-doing these selections many times, still it doesn't say work. As another recommended post says the box won't stay checked. But more fundamentally, it just doesn't work. Is there a cure for this problem?
Alternatively,
Is there any other way to mark a section of a document as computer software code (or in some instances mathematical or scientific equations) and get spelling and grammar check to leave them alone? One still needs the rest of the document to be checked! Thanks in Advance! |

Regrettably both the local and remote backups of the document were saved with this mess before it was discovered. This has occurred just a few months before a major system-wide upgrade here including a current edition of Word. I need to finish a major project before a huge system replacement. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is, how it might have occurred, whether the original can be recovered, and/or how to prevent it from happening again? I hate to think that I have to check every page of a 500 page document every single time before saving it. With thanks in advance, JT Oregon |

| .PDF only option in Open dialog box Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:04 PM PST I think I'm looking for a setting on the machine or in Word which is running on my office-mates computer because this doesn't happen on any other computers in the office. We have a locked form with a macro which adds a file to the document. The macro button, when selected, opens a dialog box where the attachable files live however instead of allowing this user to see "All Files", ".PDF" is selected and is the only choice. The files which can be selected are all Word files so since it's looking for *.pdf files only, these selections are not visible. I'm wondering how to get this switched back to "All Files" in the dialog box for him instead of just ".PDF". (This is the drop down button on the bottom right next to the File name: box just above the Tools button, "Open" button, and "Cancel" button. In other programs this is labeled, "File Type".) I'm wondering if there's a setting in Word that got flipped somewhere to only open PDFs for some reason. I know it's not the macro as this is not the behavior on anyone elses machine. Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere which says, "When opening files only open PDF files" or what might be causing this behavior? Thanks for your help. -Dax |
| xe field codes Posted: 16 Jan 2015 12:35 PM PST How do I remove the hidden text ie xe codes from word 10. I inserted an index table which I have now removed. The field codes remain but it does not affect the home tab view. But when I go to print via file , print I suddenly have 5 extra pages which upsets the page numbering . I think it is the xe codes which are visible in the print preview and print when I print a page, but not in the home view which increases the number of pages. |
| Office 2010 Word Custom Dictionary - Add a word Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:53 AM PST I have Windows 7 and Office 2010. I want to add a word to the custom dictionary that has mixed case. I live in Australia and my Internet Supplier is iiNet. When I proof a document with their name in it, it is always highlighted for possible correction. (I don't want to check the box about mixed case as I use other mixed case words as well) I do not get the option to add the word during the spell check process. I can add any word to the custom dictionary that has four mixed case letters but when the fifth letter is typed, the "Add" box greys out. Not a big problem but a definite annoyance. It also has me wondering about French words as a lot of their surnames have mixed case and I doubt I should have to load a French dictionary to overcome this problem. |
| Give some love to academic/scientific users Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:22 AM PST There is no way to submit lengthy suggestion to Microsoft, hence this forum entry. Give some love to the academic/scientific community. (Feature request to Office 15, Office 16, Gemini) The equation editor (when typing the equations) absolutely rocks, however there is a direly missing feature. It is virtually impossible to write a proper particle physics or general relativity paper without the Feynman-slash notation. The back-end is completely capable of doing it (see my post at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/want-to-write-using-the-equation-tool-with-feynman/8d498a8a-0225-471c-9a5d-aacb6670b0eb). We would like a "\fslash" control that would overstrike a "/" character over the last group, similar to how "\bar" works. Numbered equations! It's a joke how there are feature requests for numbered equations in Word 2007 (!!!) forums, but still no support. People tend to write macros for inserting single row, triple column tables with the center column holding 85% of the page width and the equation caption Cut+Pasted into the third column. This is tedious. Custom anchors to equations/figures/bibliography entries, and custom bibliography etc. styling. Nearly all scientific journals accept only LaTeX, all due to this problem. The few that provide .doc or .docx templates don't use proper anchors or bibliography. That is because they cannot be styled. Even the simplest, and most widely used style of bibliography entries appearing as [15] is not possible, because Word only allows round braced (15) style (which is ok for equations, but not bibliography). Giving heaps of prebaked stylings is not enough. Allow for customzing both anchors and the appearance of the collections. (TOC, Bibliography, etc.) Although most likely this is not the exact place to post, but hope it makes it to the right place: the Windows Phone 8.1 version of Office completely lacks the equation renderer. Equations render blank spaces, making us convert all our stuff to PDF, redering the Office App pretty much useless for both Word and PowerPoint presentations. |
| Word 2013 Enforce/Re-enforce Unchecking "Remove personal information from file properties on save" Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:16 AM PST As a default in Word 2013 the checkbox "Remove personal information from file properties on save" located in Trust Center Settings is checked, because of this any documents saved will be scrubbed of user names for comments made when using "Track Changes". When opening the document after a save the comments will all show "Author". If the check is removed from "Remove personal information from file properties on save" it is again checked after running the "Document Inspector". How can we remove the check from the box and enforce this even after the "Document Inspector" is ran? I cannot find any reference to this in Group Policy and we are using O365 Pro Plus Click to Run install so initial settings cannot be made during the install. Thank you |
| Microsoft word Document Word 97-2003, 2 question pure text & text with small images What MS should I be using ? Posted: 16 Jan 2015 10:59 AM PST My first question is that I opened Word 97-2003 document and in ALL cases it states that this document is a word 97-2003 document and can't be edited So as created on a PC what Microsoft word documents (year) should I be creating these documents as I have just been say copying a document in part as 97-2003 the new document is that also Finally the un-editable W 97-2003 document if ALL text is displayed correctly formatted highlights except for Non edit perfect If the document has any photo or images which are 3 at most the text is left justified and only 10 characters wide so this question would be ONE NEAT column of words. Any document W97-2003 with images created on a PC sent to myself as an attachment to a email ONLY on PC is 100% EDITABLE and displayed as it should, BUT if viewed after download or via office is essentially just one column 10 characters wide Question What microsoft Word version should I be using on a PC that if I do need to edit on my windows phone I can ATM No images display on phone is OK NOT EDITABLE With images a column "10" display NOT, NOT! ok NOT EDITABLE Thanks |
| Can't unpin docs from Word taskbar Posted: 16 Jan 2015 10:14 AM PST When I right-click the Word icon in my taskbar, a list of recent documents pops up, as well as a few I pinned for easy access. But there are a few documents pinned which I cannot unpin. 
I right-click the pinned document, and select "Unpin from this list"... 
But it just flashes orange and does nothing. I have been able to add new pinned documents and unpin these, but over the last several months a few documents have refused to unpin. I deleted one or two of these documents from my computer files, but they still refuse to unpin (they didn't unpin when the documents were still present, either). Suggestions? I'd really like to get rid of these documents - having a pinned list is not helpful if I can't remove the documents later. |
| Automatically generating text from one text box to another Posted: 16 Jan 2015 09:28 AM PST Hello, Is it possible to write text in one text box, then have a 2nd text box automatically generate the same text? I'm think they would have to be linked somehow (not like in a newspaper where the run-off text continues into the 2nd text box), or perhaps entering an IF field or formula of some sort? Thank you in advance! |
| What happened to the Office.com ClipArt feature in Office 2013? Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:49 AM PST The only option available in the Insert>Online Pictures is the Bing Search bar. The Office.com clipart bar was available in December, and is now missing. Also, is there a place to sign up for update notices. When teaching, it would be nice to know if a feature you are using is no longer available before you send a class to the link/tab etc. |
| Flashing Cursor in Word 2010 Posted: 16 Jan 2015 07:10 AM PST We recently added new network copiers and installed the drivers on each PC on campus. Now, when using Word 2010, the cursor flashes constantly. I tried removing the copier, downloading a new driver and reinstalling, but the issue persisted. I changed the default printer and the cursor goes back to normal. Is there any other way to fix this? I have some users for whom selecting the correct printer is a bit of a challenge. Thank you!

| MERGESEQ using data from Excel Posted: 16 Jan 2015 05:58 AM PST HI, This would be my first post so go easy if this is a silly question! i also apologize if i have uploaded this to the wrong place, i have uploaded to the word Sub but had no joy. I currently have a working mailmerge but would like to speed it up. in my data record (Which i am pulling from excel) there can be multiple records for the same individual, this means once the merge is finished, they will receive multiple emails whereas i would like each individual to receive only one. there may be a list of 100 records but only 10 recipients. i have found articles referring to MERGESEQ but i have not have much joy. I have sorted the table alphabetically and also labelled the headers correctly. I would like the "Salesperson" column to be the "key". I have uploaded my code in mail merge and my table headers and hope that someone can help me! i have been tinkering for AGES! I am open to other suggestions to get the result i am looking for?

| How can I have the mark up margin in only part of a document? Posted: 16 Jan 2015 04:21 AM PST I need to combine two word documents into one. One has been marked up and has the mark up margin with comments in it. The other has not been marked up and when I copy and paste the marked up document into this one the mark up margin appears in the entire document. Is it possible to keep the mark up margin for only the originally marked up part and not the rest? The reason I need to do this is for an academic assessment submission that requires both things to be presented in one document. |

| Object in Page Header does not display correct Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:53 AM PST Hi Experts I have created a document in MS Word 2013 and added a Text Box object in the header of the document that serves as a watermark. The text box is rotated 45 degrees and the position of the object is set to align right relative to the page horizontally and with an absolute position of 3,1 cm below the page. This should ensure that the object is placed in the upper right corner of the page regardless of the page orientation. However if I insert this object in a document with multiple sections - some in portrait and others in landscape - it seems that the object is not being displayed correct in the Print Layout. On pages in landscape the object is moved to the left somewhat aligning to the same position as the object on pages in portrait. But if I open the header or print preview the object is moved back and shown correct. Any ideas? |

| Word only printing the left half of an A5 page! Posted: 15 Jan 2015 09:28 PM PST When I print a page of A5 (14.8 x 21.0cms) writing in Word 2013 (and Windows 8.1) only the left hand side of the writing appears – and that shows on the right hand side of the A5 sheet. - I have been assured by the Epson Printer technician that as the Test Page prints correctly (right across the page) that it is NOT a driver fault, nor a printer fault;
- I have made sure that the printer settings page in Word is set correctly—that the margins are correctly set and that the format is set to 'Portrait';
- However, there seems to be a conflict in the 'Custom Page Size' tab (within the Print 'Settings' section), as it shows a red exclamation mark, even though the size shown/set is 14.8 x 21.0 cms (which is the correct size for an A5 page).
- Further, in the 'Page Setup' page, in the 'Paper' tab, under 'Paper Size', only three options are given: Letter; A4; Custom Size. In previous versions of Word, I always had the option of selecting any number of page sizes! Yet even specifying a set of page measurements (14.8 x 21.0) under the 'Custom Size' heading, it still only prints half a page of writing!
- In exploring further on the document to be printed, and clicking on the area alongside the document, a border suddenly appears around the document. This to me, looks suspiciously like an A4 sized page in 'Landscape' format—with the A5 document that I want printed fairly in the middle of this larger sheet on its side!!!!!
- Printer is the Epson Stylus Fax/Printer CX6900F
So I need advice on what adjustments/upgrades/downloads that are needed to enable me to print an A5 page correctly. I have always been able to print the same (sized) document on all previous versions of Word. |
| Saving ipad word document to computer offline Posted: 15 Jan 2015 08:12 PM PST Hi all. I'm fairly new to the ipads etc, and have recently downloaded the ipad "word" app, as well as excel, powerpoint etc. My laptop at work is on a wired connection, thus no wireless for the ipad. I'm wondering the best way to transfer these word documents between my laptop and my ipad, without an internet connection. Would like to avoid dropbox/cloud etc if possible, as these may need my ipad to be on an internet connection. I can physically connect my ipad and laptop with the white cord, but that's about it. Please help. Mark :) |

| Office for iPad has a critical bug in latest update! Posted: 15 Jan 2015 06:37 PM PST All, I notice my iPad updated MS office apps for iPad today. So, I went to open word on my iPad, provided my login and password, and then tried to access my documents on OneDrive. The connection dialog box came up "Connecting" and then disappeared again and then reappeared again in an endless loop. I had to quickly push the cancel button on the connection dialog box when it appeared again to terminate the connection. I rebooted my iPad, rebooted the app many times, and also tried a different Internet connection, and the problem still persists -- no joy!. This same problem occurs when using Excel and PowerPoint. Is anyone else having this problem? The office apps for me are totally useless now! -L |
| name of corrector is changed to "author" Posted: 15 Jan 2015 01:12 PM PST Hi, I sent a WORD2013 document for review by colleagues and they made corrections. The corrections (an comments) were "marked" with their names when viewed on their computer (example: "John deleted" or "John - comment". However, when I received the document (sent by e-mail), all names ("John" and the like) were replaced by "Author". So, even though I could see the corrections (and the comments), I could not see who did them. To check for a problem due to the sending the document by e-mail, I made my-self come corrections and then sent the document to me by e-mail. In the file I received, my corrections were marked correctly (by my name). Did my colleague make something wrong or this a problem of WORD 2013 configuration ? How wan this be corrected ? Regards, |
