Microsoft Word - Replace with nothing

Microsoft Word - Replace with nothing


Replace with nothing

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:36 PM PST

Leaving the Replace With field blank says to replace the Find What contents with itself, except for formatting. But sometimes I want to replace the Find What contents with nothing. The only way I've found is to clear the Clipboard and in the Replace With field, choose Special > Clipboard Contents. There is probably an easier and more obvious way but I don't know what it is. ??

Optimize a same document for different paper size (A4 size and smartphone screen)

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 12:29 PM PST

Hi,

Does Microsoft Word has a way of optimizing a same document for viewing on desktop/tablet (Letter/A4 size) and mobile screen (say, iPhone screen)?

For example, I want to have my fancy header and footer displayed when viewing on desktop/tablet but, when the document is viewed on iPhone, the header and footer is not shown so that content is display as much as possible in the small screen size.

Where did the ONLINE PICTURES option go in WORD?

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:32 AM PST

A few weeks ago, I clicked on Insert:Online Pictures in Word and the only two options that appeared were a Bing Search Box and a One Drive (Personal).  There WAS an additional option above these for Microsoft Online and now it has disappeared.  Is this something I have done to my computer or something that can be fixed with a setting?    It if helps-I am running Office 2013 from a Windows 8 operating system.

It is comforting to known there were images to use without the hassle of accidentally engaging in copyright infringement through the Online Pictures Option and now this option has disappeared.  We are unable to produce our flyers and educational powerpoints without this option.  It diminishes (for me) the need for Word specifically for organizational purposes as a word processing software.  However, I love it for writing research papers and collaborating with peers.  I am forlorn.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a new practice in 2015 and I missed the memo?  

Thanks greatly to any responders. 

word 2013 help - Error in instructions.

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:05 AM PST

Trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts in Word 2013. I click on the "?" and get to word help. Enter "keyboard shortcuts," press enter. 

At the Intro section, it says:
To expand all sections of the article, press TAB until Show all is selected, and then press ENTER. Press ENTER again to collapse all sections.

When I press and hold tab down, it just toggles through the whole document. When I press it once, it goes to the next heading. It never does show me a command "show all."  But, if I expand the first section "finding and using keyboard shortcuts," it expands all of the sections.  Clearly not what the instruction says.

Also, if I hit SHIFT-TAB, it expands all sections and goes to the bottom of the page. Hitting tab again takes me to an unnamed icon, which collapses the whole article. Maybe that is the mystery "show all" icon, but not likely, as it doesn't appear until all sections are expanded.


My take is that whoever is doing the help section needs more than a little bit of proofreading and testing, particularly from the point of view of people unfamiliar with the program. (I am in no way a newbie, but found this process to be quite frustrating.) 


I may just be a creature of habit, but I also miss the table of contents.

Can't run apps because "all online content in Office is blocked"

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:54 AM PST

How do I unblock it? It says Go the the Trust Center to change your privacy settings, but I can't figure out what to change. I've tried changing the settings that sound like they apply, but nothing works.  I'm trying to run the Merriam-Webster Dictionary so that when I right click on a word a select "Define" it pops up to the right with definitions, synonyms, etc. 

highlighting text copies it to clipboard

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:29 AM PST

a weird bug just started showing up in Microsoft Word. I'm using office 2013 in Windows 8 64-bit. Suddenly, just highlighting text copies it to the clipboard, which means that I can't copy a piece of text, highlight what I run to replace, and hit paste – it just shows me what I highlighted. I've looked through the program and searched and can't seem to find any sort of option to enable or disable this. it's wasting a lot of my time. Any of you smart folks out there know how to fix it?

how to turn off flashing grey highlight when navigating through a document

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:25 AM PST

Just installed Word 2013, not the 365 version.

When I navigate through a document (for example arrow up), the entire document above where my cursor is highlighted in grey, for a flash, and then goes away. 

Visually, this is very distracting. I just want to be able to arrow up and have the cursor go up the document without anything else being highlighted or greyed or anything. 

How do I turn off this "feature?" 

Thanks in advance,

Word for iPad keeps trying and failing to connect

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 08:38 AM PST

I've been using word for iPad for months. Recently, when trying to save to one drive, the software will try to connect, then stop, then restart, over and over. Here's a video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCAFXclpLjE

The the onedrive client for iPad office apps (and not the onedrive app itself) has never been able to navigate down the directory tree, but at least it would let me save in the root directory so I could later move it. Now, it won't even do that much :/

Word start up problem.

Can anyone help?

Office 2007 help files do not display properly

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 07:27 AM PST

My local computer help files in Office 2007 are not displaying properly.  The html source is shown and the message


This message might not be displayed properly. The content of the webpage does not match the type specified by the server.Click for options.


If I click and select Show Restricted Content, the page renders properly.  However I have to go through this process each time I request information. The ONLINE version of help also displays the same message briefly but then renders the correct information.


I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and also have Office 2000 installed. I have tried


1. Renaming Microsoft Help folder in Program Data and then using Office diagnose and repair. This rebuilt the Help file but did not eliminate the problem.


2. Uninstalling Office 7 and Reinstalling it. This did not help.


3. Adding office http://office.microsoft.com and https://office.microsoft.com to trusted internet sites in Internet Explorer. This did not help.

Is there some fix for this?


iPad apps keep signing out

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 06:42 AM PST

Every time I open Word on my iPad, it is not logged-in to my 365 account. When I log-in, it works, but if I leave the app and come back, sure enough, I'm logged-out again. This is PAINFUL, since the login process is so laborious. This didn't used to happen, seems only in the last few weeks. I'm running the current iOS and apps (no updates available for either). 

this relates to the iPad, but I had to select "iPhone" in the drop down box when posting this question, since iPad is bizarrely absent from the list.

Macro Doesn't work

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 05:29 AM PST

This macro fails at the last line. It has always worked in the past.

Set shtFun = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Fund_Contributions")

shtCon.Range("E8:J8").Copy 'Copy total general funds to Fund summary

        shtFun.Range("U1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
        shtFun.Range("U1:Z1").Replace What:=0, Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole

        With shtFun
            Set rngFound = .Range("T10:T61").Find(What:=.Range("T4"), LookAt:=xlWhole) 'Find current Sunday date
           .Range("U1:AC1").Copy Destination:=rngFound.Offset(0, 1) 'Insert in proper date line

        

When I stop the macro at the next to the last line and hi-lite +mgFound I get

rngFound.Offset(0, 1)= <Object variable or With block variable not set>

Just ran macro - now I get

rngFound.Offset(0, 1)=55 but it doesn't copy the data to any line

Header not showing up when opening a new document

Word (Office 2013)

Problem resolved

Words are not wrapping even to bottom margin

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:52 AM PST

Hello:

I'm working on a novel with no images inside...strictly words, and the text is not wrapping down to the bottom margin. I'm having to break up paragraphs to fill up that space because Word is somehow taking that whole paragraph and putting it on the next page as a whole, not wrapping the text onto the next page.

For example, I'll have a long paragraph:

I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as I headed in the direction of the village. Fear kept me going although my legs now felt like jelly. I still hoped this was but just a dream. I pinched myself and I felt pain. This wasn't a dream. At least I knew why the murderer was after my life. But what about the other two? 

It won't just fill up that last line on the bottom of the page with, for instance, this section below (it's a 5 X 8 book size), and put the remainder of that paragraph on the next page.

I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as

It's taking the whole paragraph over into the next page, creating a big blank space on the previous page. Is there some setting that I can turn this off?

Thanks to everyone who answers! I'm using Word 2013.

 

Defining a list style in Word 2013.

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 07:48 PM PST

When defining a new list style, is there a way of specifying paragraph spacing, i.e., the spacing between the levels of the list?


Create a multilevel list

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 06:04 PM PST

I am trying to create a multilevel list definition for a formal document with the following structure--

ARTICLE I

GENERAL PROVISIONS ...

1.1. Topic a1 ...

1.1.1. Subtopic aa1 ...

1.1.1.1. Subsubtopic aaa1 ...

1.2. Topic a2 ...

1.2.1. Subtopic aa2 ...

.

.

.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS ...

2.1. Topic b1 ...

2.1.1. SubTopic bb1...

2.2. Topic b2 ...

.

.

.

After the level 1 with I, II, III, ..., I would like the level 1 to be represented as numbers on the follow-on levels (2-9).

I've tried several time with no success with no success.

Hi Vipergirl,

Are these regular licenses or ones from the Partner Action Pack. If the Action Pack you may want to contact the Partner support

on their policy on 'reusing' Action Pack activations.

were uninstalled from their system. Now we have 2 new sales reps that are
unable to install Office 2007 because it says that all the activations have
been used. Is there a way to get the 4 that we uninstalled back for use?

I spoke with someone on the phone who said, "Sure, just re-install the

Removing bad Office 2007 and Installing trail

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 07:33 AM PDT

If you installed one version of Office you should use the add remove
dialogue to uninstall that version, then clean up temp files (Disk Cleanup)
re boot your PC prior to installing another version of Office

The installation key you may have will only work on the version it was
supplied for.
Does download mean install from Disk or Internet download? and if internet
download did you save the download file?
Do you have any version of Office on cd/dvd, if so what versions?

How do I suggest activation limit of MS Office Professional 2007?

Here's the formula:

Cars need licensed drivers
Computers need licensed drivers (softwares)
Licensed drivers can drive more than two owned cars
Licensed drivers (softwares should be able to drive more than two computers.

SP3 problems

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 10:32 AM PDT

As Carey says -

There is no SP3 for Office 2007. There IS an SP3 for Office 2003, and there
is an SP1 for Office 2007. There is also an SP3 for Windows XP, and an SP1
for Windows Vista. So, which SP did you actually apply?

You may want to uninstall and reinstall your Office, just to ensure you have
the right stuff there.
