Word 2010 Problems with page layout

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 02:52 PM PST

I am having multiple problems with page layout. I want to design a document that will eventually be printed on pages 152.4 X 228.6 mm, with margins and a gutter on the left for recto and right for verso (normal allowance for binding). No problem there. I am printing proofs on A4. Whatever I do I cannot get my printer to render the 12pt as 12 pt and when I select 'apply to whole document' and save it, on accessing it again it always says 'this section'.

Repeater Merge Fields to output in the same line instead of listing repeater items in separate rows

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 01:44 PM PST

Hello,

Can someone help me formatting repeater merge fields output in MS WORD in such a manner that the results will list in the same line using comma separate format?

Currently the multiple outputs are listed in separate rows. for example

PRINCESS

AMIGO

My desired result would be:

PRINCESS, AMIGO

Another issue I am having is when I use the repeater merge fields right after the normal merge field, the output result will repeat the output from the previous merge field again after the repeater merge field ends.

for example

if the merge field <<residentname>> outputs SMITH and the repeater merge field <<PETSNAME>> outputs PRINCESS, AMIGO, my output shows like this:

SMITH PRINCESS

SMITH AMIGO

I want this output to be display in MS WORD as:

SMITH, PRINCESS, AMIGO

sample merge fields

«residentname» «tablestart:pets»«petsname»«tableend:pets»

Thank you

Zack

Trouble Opening Photo Files In Word

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 12:28 PM PST

For some reason, I am unable to open the photo images I have saved in Word.  They appear in a list, but the files look like they are recessed (in a lighter color) and can't be activated when clicked on. Can this be corrected some how?

Thanks!

Word 2010 - Custom Table of Contents - Inserts table from which created into new documents

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 11:54 AM PST

Hi.  We created a custom TOC and shared it amongst pilot program members.  When they go to create a TOC, upon insertion the TOC from the document upon which the format was created is inserted and you must refresh to build it based upon the current document.  This is sending people into a panic and others into complete frustration.  Any idea, how I can get it to insert the TOC for the document they are working on without a refresh?

Hyperlinks being changed in Word 2010 - IE - Win 7

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 11:38 AM PST

Working for a large company, we distribute from time to time Word documents with Hyperlinks in them.  Some point to internal sites, some to external sites.

The first part of the link is a signon verification to identify the user:  http://%^*&@.@#*$

The second part is the actual URL to the site in question, https://*&^%$

They are separated by and equal sign.

For some reason the secure URL is being change with no intervention by the user taking them to a incorrect location.

Can someone offer some opinions as to what might cause this and suggested fixes.

Thank you

Paul

Word 2010 Table of Contents - Sharing TOC format

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 09:20 AM PST

Hi.  We are trying to create a standard office TOC.  So, I created a TOC and saved it to the office building blocks, which are separate from each individual's building blocks.   I shared the office building blocks.dotx with others and placed it in the appropriate location under the users data profile.  When they generated a TOC, using the format I had created, theirs looks nothing like mine.  We used the same style set and the same TOC from building blocks.  Can TOC formats be shared?  If so, how do I do it correctly?  Thanks in advance.

Office 2013 Clip Art not available

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 09:14 AM PST

I'm trying to search the Office online clip art from Word 2013. I've selected the Insert tab and clicked on the Online Pictures option. The only options I'm given to search are Bing Image Search and One Drive Personal. To be perfectly clear, Office Online Clip art does not appear in the window. I did a Quick Repair, but that didn't fix the problem. And, yes, I am connected to the the internet. Any suggestions? 

OCR Characters left over

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 08:40 AM PST

I OCR'ed a document for which we had no machine-readable copy.

It created a Word document which was just fine except for some vertical lines at the left, in various places.

I cannot select these lines to remove them!

Any ideas on what I can do to remove them?

Many thanks!

Deleting pages on Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 03:19 AM PST

How on earth do you delete a blank page in the middle of a word document? Have spent an hour researching this and got nowhere - just some pseudo philiosphical techno guff about blank pages not really being blank. I've tried using paragraph setting. Tried finding a manual page break. Tried layout settings. Tried sacrificing a black cat under a blue moon. Also, how do you complain about this sort of stuff to Microsoft - am I doing it now? Can they "hear" me?

So many questions, but really what I want to ask is why it is that Microsoft Word 2010 seems to have been designed and developed by a group of sadists in the midst of possibly the longest acid party in history?

Word 2010 keeps adding styles on Save

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:05 PM PST

I have a template that I'm trying to 'clean-up' so that there are no unnecessary styles.

My process follows these steps:

  1. From Manage Styles I select the unwanted style (named TOC Heading + emphasis) which is created from a correct style (TOC Heading) and Reapply the correct style to the entire paragraph (including the paragraph mark). Here is where the newly created style is removed.
  2. Then the template file is saved whereupon the created style (TOCHeading + emphasis) reappears.

How do I stop this from happening?

Unable to open Word or Excel

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:05 PM PST

I have tried all the suggestions that have appeared in the support section.  Windows Click to Run refuses to uninstall.  I have tried it several times.  Also I have tried to repair Office 2010 following your instructions.  That does not work either.  The searching stops after a few seconds.  Then I tried right-clicking the icon and clicking file location.  It went right to CVH, but that would not open either.  I cannot get to any of my files and this is most frustrating.

Thank you for your help.

Word - Drop-down list that can auto populates Text?

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:30 PM PST

Hi all, 

I am working on a new form. 

I want to create a drop-down list and depending on what I select I would like the text box below to auto populate standard language. 

Is this possible in Word? I believe I did something similar in Excel a few years ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to condense 16 different letters into one. All only differ slightly depending on what would be selected from the drop-down. 

Thanks a ton!

How do you create a vertically centered horizontal line around horizontally centered name

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:03 PM PST

      I am currently creating a resume from scratch.  At the top of the page, underneath the header and horizontally centered, I have written my name.  I wish to create a horizontal line on either side of my name.  These lines should be the same size and symmetrical horizontally.  I also would like a the line to be compound with a vertical gradient (dark grey on top and light grey on the bottom).

      I've clicked on the border button in the home tab and then selected insert horizontal line.  I have been unable to position this line on the same text line as my name.  The line could only be positioned as a break above or below my name no matter how short the line was.  I was unable to find any text wrapping options for this type of horizontal line.

      Next, I tried using the insert shape feature.  I clicked on the insert tab, clicked on the shapes button and then selected the line tool.  It was frustrating to position the line along the vertical center of the text.  I right-clicked on the line and clicked "more layout options".  I adjusted the alignment options gradually until I was satisfied.  I then made sure that the "tight wrap" option was selected.  This seemed to work.  Next I right-clicked on the line again and selected "Format Shape".  Here is where things got extremely frustrating.  I selected the compound line option, but there were only four types.  For the horizontal line method above there were many different types of compound lines.  I selected one and then attempted to create a gradient.  It was a painstaking process.  There were four gradient bars, which I guess is fair as the compound line has two lines, but it was very difficult to discern how the controlled the gradients.  Once I was satisfied I had to create another horizontal line on the other side of the text.  I set the line I created to the default line.  When a drew a line on the other side of the text the compound line and gradient was vertically reversed!  When a went back to the format shape screen and selected the opposite line (here the image in the tab was the opposite of the one originally created but it produced the same the line as on left side of the text.  This also reversed the gradient.  I stopped here as I had no idea how to match the exact same gradient as the first line.

      I also tried the copy and paste method.  This only created a picture of the line when pasted on the right side of the text.  It seems impossible to get this picture to line up symmetrically with the line on the left.

      I know I have written a lot here and my description may be too dense or not clear, but I thought this way would help me get the best answer.  I have searched online for over an hour and have not found a method that works.  This seems like an extremely simple, common task and I'm sure there must be an easy and quick way to do this.  I am not sure if I have over-complicated the matter, but I really need help on this one.  Also, I do not want to use a resume template.

Thanks for your time and help.

in word - stops responding, then task manager doesn't work

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 05:46 PM PST

I'm using word 2010 - windows 7.  When I'm in Word -- I will intermittently  lose quite a bit of functionality - ability to backspace, use the pointer to get to a different section of the page, etc.    I'm unable to close Word at that point.  if I go to Task Manager, it does not respond either.  I then have to shut down the computer using the on/off button, and reboot.  The computer will then act fine for an undetermined period of time.

Any thoughts?  It's very frustrating.

Margin Errors in Word 2007

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:41 PM PST

I have some text I copied from Wikipedia into Word.  The right margin is set at .2" (the others are all at .5") and I get a message that the text is outside of the printable area.  But when I expand the right margin to .3" or more, the text runs off both sides of the on-screen page.  How do I fix this so I can have half-inch margins all around?

Templates in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:03 PM PST

When I open Word, I am presented with a bunch of impressive templates for which I have no use at all.  I have no interest in using any of Microsoft's templates, either embedded in the software or online.  I know that many people went to great lengths, and used extraordinary talent to create that impressive collection of marvelous templates, but I don't need them.  I have very limited needs, and have made an assortment of templates that fit my requirements, and I want to use them.  I want to get rid of all of Microsoft's templates, and instead use those I've created myself.  When I open Word, I would like to be presented with a blank page based on my Normal template, and ready for me to enter text.  Is that possible? 

Why does Word 2013 "go to the back" when I close a document?

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 03:03 PM PST

When I have multiple documents open, and I close one, I would like to remain in Word with another document on the screen.  But every time I close a document, Word is no longer the focus, and I am either in another program or on the desktop.  And then I have to go back to Word every time.  Any way to fix this?

Thanks!
