Tabs in Word 2013

I want to set tabs to have a leader with periods.  I went to Page Layout > Paragraph > Tabs and selected leader #2, then OK.  However, when I use a tab the leader does not appear.  What am I missing?

Why are my text align icons dimmed and not working?

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 02:47 PM PST

Why are my text align icons dimmed and not working? The only thing I can remember changing is disabling the NaturallySpeaking 12.5 voice recognition add-on. I enabled the add-on again, but I still have the same dimmed problem.

How do I show the identification of a bookmark when setting up a form?

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 11:37 AM PST

I have created a form with three text boxes (Fname, Lname, Address).  Everything works.

However then I look at the form before the text box is used to fill in the bookmarks,
all I see is the three brackets representing where the information is to be.

Is there any way to show which bracket belongs to which text box without going through a

Word app for iPad - having problem opening it

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 11:01 AM PST

I am having a similar problem with my Word app on my iPad which no loner opens.  I tap it an it blinks open but closes immediately.  I'd like to try the Reset, but am fearful that all my documents on that app will be deleted. And stupidly I did not back them up anywhere else.  Will they be saved in the on-line Word app?

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 09:19 AM PST

Hello

I have been tasked with creating the fill-able form as described up above. It's for a machine shop. My boss has asked me to create a opening dialog box with 10

fields: 1.Part# - linked to database

          2.Rev# -  linked to database

          3.Metal - Drop down list

          4.Machine Drop down list

          5.Part Name - linked to database

          6.Date picker

          7.Date picker

          8.Programmer - Drop list

          9. Milled by - Drop list

        10.Ext    - Drop list

When the worker has completed the form they will click a button on the page and it will autofill a total of 10 forms created in word. The first page (Header and footer) with all info & pages 2 -10 will just be the footer with items 8,10,1,2,. 

Thank you all in advance

how to deal with irregular line distances in mixed english-chinese text

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 02:19 AM PST

I am using 8 point Arial English text and Chinese traditional with 8 point Mingliu font and simplified text with 8 point Songti font in one document. Lines with both English and Chinese have a slightly larger line distance than lines with only English, giving the whole document a very irregular structure. Does anybody know how to get these different fonts to use the same line distance?

Restricting PrintDate to specific pages only ...

Posted: 19 Feb 2015 11:02 PM PST

Hi all,

I have a very large document, broken up into sections, containing a footer with a Last printed on: [PrintDate] Quick Parts field.

So far so good, except that each section is treated as a single document to the extent that when I print it I want the date to change the date only in the section I have printed.

I've tried everything I can think of. I can't find any switches that will do the job, I've tried removing "Link to previous" in each section's footer. All to no avail.

I'm sure there's an answer out there, just can't find it without your help!

Grateful thanks in advance.

Adding rows to a table, with calculations

Posted: 19 Feb 2015 09:31 PM PST

I have a locked form with a table with seven columns in it.  I need to be able to add rows to the table as needed.  To do this I used Graham Mayor's "Alternative method of adding a row to a protected table" macro from http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples_2.htm and it works beautifully.

BUT .........

I now need to calculate column B multiplied by column C and the answer sits in column D as well as column C multiplied by column E and the answer to that sits in column F and this is to continue for every row that is added.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

capital A loses its horizontal line

Posted: 19 Feb 2015 08:21 PM PST

Suddenly capital A loses its horizontal  line in Times Roman in font 12 and several other even sizes (but not all and not odd sizes and not other fonts). It works in OpenOffice (Libre) and Notepad but not in Word, Excel (both version 2000) or Edit Pad Lite. Can someone figure out why?

How do I merge data from one file into another (not insert text)

Posted: 19 Feb 2015 05:56 PM PST

Let's say I have created a letterhead and need to insert it in many merge documents.  The partner list is on the letterhead, but it is constantly changing.  I'd like the partner list to be a separate document and am looking for a command to insert the partner list into all the merge documents I create.  That way, when the partner list changes, I only have to edit ONE document and the future merges will reflect the updated partner list.  I looked in the Field menu, where I suspect there is a command to insert a text file or other Word document, but it's not obvious to me where this is, so perhaps someone can enlighten me.

Thanks.

Word 13: Series of astrisks caused a dotted line to appear.

Posted: 19 Feb 2015 04:47 PM PST

I was working on my latest novel and I use ************ to denote a passing or changing of time in a paragraph. When I reinstalled Office 13, I'd forgotten to turn off the conversion.

So now I have a series of dashes across the entire width of my page and cannot get rid of them.

I tried using the ctrl+Q, but lost me formatting and didn't remove the  dashes. So I closed and didn't save to maintain the formatting (17 chapters in I don't want to have to reformat the book)

So does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of these dashes that run the width of the page?

Thanks.
