Microsoft Word - Endless interrogation about tracked changes

Microsoft Word - Endless interrogation about tracked changes

Endless interrogation about tracked changes

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 02:29 PM PST

It seems that I'm forever being asked if I want to save or print a document with tracked changes.  This means I'm endlessly looking up how to turn it off.  What a complete distraction and utter waste of time.

In a locked down environment, is there *any* way to _permanently_ turn this feature off?

P.S. I'm not looking for the security explanation for this feature.  I'm looking for a way to ensure that it stays off and never -- ever -- returns.

Word Forms with macro calculations won't work when form sent over email

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 01:51 PM PST

Hello,

I created a form that has calculations in macros.  The calculations could not be done using the calculate fields in the forms as they had dependencies and were too complex.  The form works brilliantly as long as I don't send it to someone over email.  The form is a pricing tool for customers to use.  Any ideas on how I could get this to work?

When users try to "save-as" they only get a box, cannot select a path or drive in which to save.

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 12:36 PM PST

This issue may only be in our environment, however I figured I would ask. 

This impacts XEN desktop users who are using terminals.

When users try to "save-as" they only get a box, cannot select a path or drive in which to save. 

Normally when you "save-as" you see a box with drives and paths, which let you select where to save the document.

Users see a box like this:

View One Page at 100% in Word 2010 by default

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 09:29 AM PST

Where I work I have one user who when she opens word it opens by default at 100% with 2 blank pages on her screen. I did change the setting (View - Zoom - Zoom- 100%- page Width) so she can see it in 100% one page, but when she goes out of the document and into a new one or opens the one she was just in, it be default goes back to the first settings. A few of her documents are shared documents and when I open them on my PC it opens correctly. My question is how can I change these setting so when every she opens a document it opens 100% and with one page. Like I mentioned before I also have 2010 on my PC and everything opens correctly for me. So it has to be a setting I need to change on her profile on this PC. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

included page header in TOC

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 09:14 AM PST

In the Custom TOC Options, it appears that I can include the page Header as a line in the TOC. I have three sections in the document, each with a different Header (same Footer on all 3). I want those Headers to divide my TOC, the way they divide my document. I made them #1, then Headings 1-3 as #2-4, but the Headers are not appearing in my TOC. Is there something else I need to do?

Why won't my Word document track changes?

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 09:00 AM PST

I am trying to track changes in a Word document, with Track Changes on and with All Markup and Show Markup on, but my changes are not showing up in the document. I am working in Word 2013. It is a document that I received from someone else, and I do not know what version of Word they were using. It has a docx extension.

Connecting Correct Contact Cards to Word Comments

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 08:28 AM PST

When I am using Word 2013, I see my picture and name up in the upper right corner of my window, so Word has identified me correctly. However, when I comment on a document, the name shown is incorrect and the picture image is the generic "silhouette". If I right-click and "Open Contact Card" it is blank. How do I link these comments to my correct contact card?

This is a minor issue, of course, but the fact that I can't find a solution is really annoying me. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Word:Mac2011 issue

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 08:20 AM PST

I am having a problem opening Word files (97-2003 format) on a MacBook running Yosemite whereby it hangs the program and also hangs Finder - It appears to be a compatibility issue but I could be wrong.

Every time I attempt to open a .doc file Word freezes however if I use my Windows 7 system to open the .doc file and just re-save (no changes to content) to the default .docx extension then I can access that file with Word 2011. This issue does not affect Excel/Powerpoint as those programs can open the earlier version (97-2003) without a problem.

Is there a fix for this or a place where I can report it? I tried going to a suggested link (https://connect.microsoft.com/) but couldn't find a way to report this issue.

Thanks.

Indexing a Series of Documents

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 08:03 AM PST

I am preparing an index of documents. It's similar to a table of contents but lists documents that are separate from the index itself and includes an alphabetical reference for each entry (Document A, Document B, etc). So, for example:

  Document Pages
A Application Form 1-5
B Letter   of Reference 6-8
C Confirmation   of Receipt 9-10

I want to know whether or not there is a way of setting up the table so that the alphabetical references (column 1) and the page number ranges (column 2) will automatically adjust. At the moment, if I have the above index and I want to include another document between, for example, Documents A and B: then I will have to manually change the alphabetical references and the page numbers of the all the documents after it.

Does anyone know a way of setting a table up in Microsoft Word so that it does this for me? Sorry if the answer's obvious: I can see how to make a table of contents for a Word Document and I can see how to make an ordinary index for a Word Document. But I cannot wee a way of doing this.

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Office 365 won't open .doc files from windows explorer.

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 07:17 AM PST

I have Office 365 installed on my pc. When I double click on a .doc file in windows explorer I get a box asking me if I want to continue using word or office XML handler to open the file. (See attached screenshot). Whatever I do nothing happens. Word does not open. If I open Word first and navigate to the file, I can open it without problems.

Any ideas what I can do? I checked and this happens with any .doc file, not just one.

Hi!
I'm trying to create a Word Template with fields with custom text and I'm trying to set it up so that the default text disappears when the document is printed.
Currently the default text inside the form field is printed also, the text however disappears when something is entered into the field.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Endnotes with First-Page Header Issue

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 05:53 AM PST

We recently updated to 365 from 2007. The problem below was not an issue in 2007, but we have not yet been able to reproduce the endnote/header structure as we did in 2007. Here is what's up:

We are working with the text of a book. There are nearly 70 sections in the file. Virtually every section has endnote references which (as in 2007) should compile in one particular section at the end. We do not place the endnotes at the end of the document, rather they are at the end of a selected section (using the "Suppress Endnotes" feature).

It is important that no header be on the first page of the endnotes. However, in 365/2013, we are unable to get the endnotes to start on the first page of a section, where we would be able to delete the header for the first page (using the "Different First Page" feature) but not the remaining pages of the section (the endnotes). Rather, the endnotes persistently begin on either the odd or even page, and the first page is blank. This is so regardless of if we select "End of Section" or "End of Document."

Again, this was not an issue in 2007, and the solution is easily reproduced in 2007. Any ideas how to make it happen in 2013, or did a bug develop in the upgrade?

Many, many thanks for the tips.

Change default page colour in Word 2013

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 02:38 AM PST

I'm trying to help a friend out by changing the default page colour of Word 2013 as they find it easier to read text when its on a shade of blue background.

The posts I've read say to change the Normal.dotm file to have the page colour set to the desired colour and to save. This should then make any new documents based on the default template the desired colour. For some reason, I cannot get this to work. Any other change I make such as font, font size, paragraph changes ... these all save correctly, and work correctly. The page colour change doesn't stick.

As a workaround, I thought of creating a macro to change the page colour when the document opens. So I created the macro, tested, then added to Normal.dotm template. As a debug, I added a messagebox to check the macro started when a document was created or opened. The messagebox appeared, but the page colour wouldn't change. I changed the macro to use hardcoded RGB values instead of the theme colour. Again, this didn't work.

It appears that the macro can only change the page colour once the page colour has been changed via the Design tab then the page colour menu. Once the page colour has been changed through this usual route, the macro then works.

Any suggestions on how to set the default page colour to a shade of blue, or why the macro wont change the page colour until its changed through the tab menu?

Accounting package using Word Templates for invoicing - doesn't work properly with 2013 but does with 2007 and 2010

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 01:35 AM PST

we have TAS Accounts (latest version) and it uses Word templates to create invoices.  They work fine wth Lasers/Inkjets but we print to an OKI Matrix printer running 3 part stationery, and get print corruption when using Word 2013.  

We bought new computers last year with Office 2013 and when we found the problem with the invoicing spoke with TAS who said they have only tested with Office 2010 so wouldn't help with our corruptions, and OKI couldn't help apart form making sure we had the latest drivers.  So we bought 3 Copies of Office 2010 of which only 2 worked as the 3rd turned out to be a fake.

The 2 Office 2010 PCs can print invoices but if we print from the Office 2013 PC it screws up the shared template and we are back to square one.

We would be happy (??) to buy a copy of Word 2010 (or 2007) to get this sorted out but can't afford to risk buying a fake again.

TAS Accounts can't/won't help so we have to find our own solution - please don;t suggest going to Laser/Inkjet Invoices as this is not an option right now.

Any suggestions ????

Thanks

How do I save a Word document as a PDF such that custom properties metadata is carried over?

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 12:42 AM PST

I have Word files with custom properties to hold metadata such as Doc No., Doc. No. Prefix, Rev. No., etc. When I save the document as a PDF (using Word's built in Save As command) the custom metadata doesn't seem to get carried over into the PDF file. How do I force that to happen? Is it just a case of tweaking some settings or do I need to change to using a "print to PDF file" type convertor that operates under the guise of being a printer driver?

I am using Word 2010 under Windows 7.

The document has taken me many weeks and is part of a formal professional review. I have unfortunately only one copy of the document and if I cannot recover it I will have to start from beginning.

I am sure there is  way and hope someone in the MS community can help,

AutoExec macro not working due to existing prompts on startup?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:19 PM PST

I'm editing a template for a client.

I've made a form that fills in certain parts of the documents, this form gets called by a module with a macro called "AutoExec".

But the macro won't execute automatically because there is already something built in the document to autoExecute.

When the template is opened (new) several prompts come up (like MSG boxes with fields).

I want to remove these prompts but they aren't inside the VBA window launched by alt f11.

Any ideas?

Microsoft Word 2007 TOC Questions

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 06:46 PM PST

I have recently finished my research report and was planning to create a TOC. I have marked my titles and sub titles with Headings 1 and 2 and 3. After i have marked all of my titles and sub titles, when i created the TOC, it was missing out on alot of title and sub titles. I tried updating the table however it does not work. 

For example:

Chapter 1: NATURE AND BACKGROUND
1.4 Rationale
2.2 Review
Chapter3: Methodology

Its missing out a lot of headings and sub headings.

Saving a word file with PDF hyperlinks as ONE document

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 05:47 PM PST

After creating a document with hyperlinks how do I save the document such that the PDF files save with the word file? 

I am well aware of how to add a PDF to my word document as a hyperlink or even as an object, that is not the issue. 
Currently, if I save a word document with a hyperlink to a PDF and send it to another computer the hyperlinks no longer work. This is obviously because they PDF files are not on the receiving computer. So, is there a way that I can save the PDFs within the word file and send it as one big document?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Option button to add rows to a table

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 05:44 PM PST

I have a form wherein there's a table.  The powers that be want a box to pop up, after text entry in the last cell of the first row, that asks the user to enter the number of rows they want added to the table and then however many rows they choose appear at the end of the table (the user clicks on a button with the corresponding number next to it).  The question is, "How many extra rows do you need?" and the choices are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 15 or 20.  From what I've read, an option button is what I'm after but I've never used them before so step by step instructions would be wonderful (Word "help" leaves a lot to be desired!).

Help, my line spacing keeps changing in my text box when I save my document in Word

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 03:57 PM PST

Hello.  I created a trifold brochure in Word 2007 and on one panel I have a text box where I entered some information.  I have single spacing that lists several events.  After I hit save and close the document, every single time I go back in, the line spacing changes to 1.5" spacing!  It is fine when I hit save and close, it's just when I go back in it has changed.  And I cannot figure out why!  The only way to set the spacing without it changing is to save as a PDF, but I need to send it to my customer in Word format so they can edit it (and they are not that good with Word).  Does anyone know what the problem might be?  Thank you in advance

PS - please don't ask why I did this in word, the customer wanted that

Runaway deletion problem

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 03:57 PM PST

At least once a day as I am editing/tracking changes in documents in Word, the "cursor" suddenly takes off on its own and quickly crosses out/deletes the text, rapidly tracking  down the lines of copy. The only way I have been able to stop this is by shutting down the computer; nothing else I try has produced a response. What is going on?

Need help getting a template working.

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 07:34 AM PST

Hello. I am trying to create kind of a template in word. I have a fairly big exam comming up and would like to create a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.

In this table i am writing something that will be headlines for the things going on in the table. This means that the table and the headlines actually should be grouped together or something like that. The table will be a complete page and the only thing needed on the page.

When I then would like to fill out the blank spaces with my assignment, and the first page is full, i would like word to start the next page with the table, and headlines again, so that I can begin filling out the blank spaces again.

So far the only thing happening are that when i finish a page, word simpley continues the table on the next page instead of starting the page with the complete table.
