Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:21 PM PST

Hello.

I've been trying to fix this on my paper for a bit now and need help.

When creating table of content the page numbers in TOC come up as letters. Document as it is does not have page numbers listed ( or visible). I've added page numbers in the footer and in TOC they still remain as letters. Deleting and re-creating the TOC did not do anything different. All TOC templates show me only letters as page numbers. Am i missing something?

Cannot download templates from word

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:29 PM PST

Whenever i try to download a word template from within Word 2013 it gives me an error "something went wrong while downloading your template". This happens for every template i try to download. 

when i go to https://templates.office.com/Templates there is no option to download the template, only to open in office 365. there is also no search function on that site which makes it almost useless.

I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling office 2013. I have downloaded and installed all updates for windows and for office and it still doesn't work. I am having this issue on multiple computers. 

I really need help with this issue as it is driving me crazy. 

Word 2013 (running on Windows 8.1) internal page count is incorrect.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:22 PM PST

Weird problem #1: I have a 10 page document created in Word 2013.  The page count in the status bar (lower left bar under the document) says it is 11 pages.  Only 10 pages are visible in print preview (only one printer and its correct driver is installed).  Only 10 pages are visible when I zoom down to look at things in a thumbnail view.  The hard copy comes out as 11 pages with an extra blank page. 

Other weird problem, probably related?: When I click on page one of the document, the page count says "1 of 11".  Click on page two, it says "2 of 11"... this continues correctly until I click on page seven.  When I click on page 7, it says "page 4 of 11".  To sum up, click on page 5: "5 of 11"; click on page 6: "6 of 11"; click on page 7: "4 of 11"; click on page 8: "8 of 11".  And remember, this is a 10 page document (in my world)!

This has nothing to do with inserting page numbers.  This is the internal page count that Word creates, monitors and displays on the status line.

I have tried repairing my Office installation with no result.

Anybody?  Help???

Setup is unable to proceed

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 12:30 PM PST

I run Windows 7 Home Premium with 64 bit operating system

I have had Office Home and Student 2010 installed for some time without problem.

I now can not access Word using the desktop icon or via programs. I have tried to reinstall from the original disk but keep getting error messages saying that setup is unable to proceed. I have tried troubleshooting without success.

NB Excel and Powerpoint appear to still be working fine.

Any suggestions ?

Microsoft Word - Document Map Issues

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 12:20 PM PST

I am making a Word document for conversion to epub and mobi. In my document map, I have a Chapter Heading that has random white space on the left, and this shows up as being pushed over in my converted documents. 

Here is an image, as you can see, the 'TWO' is pushed to the right for some reason, as well as the chapter break above it.

I have a long document with TOC that I would like to send as Mass mail. When I click on the content it goes to the right place. How can I close the text passage again or include a something that says "back to top"?

Microsoft Word problem when trying to number lines manually after reaching 6

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:14 AM PST

So i was trying to number some lines like this

1.1.

1.2.

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

4.2

5.

and as i know if i did it like this manually Ms word 2013 will automatically identify this and turn on Numbering function and space the lines as should and tidy up all the work for me.

but after i reach to a number for example 5. with no additional number like 5.1. and then continue numbering like 6.1. it doesn't detect it as a numbering nor even continues the list as i want it

i wanted the numbering to be like this:

1.1.

1.2.

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

4.2

5.

6.1

6.2

7.1

7.2

etc...

also i tried adding 5.1. instead of 5. it still doesn't continue numbering to 6.1. and so on.

any tips? help on whats wrong here?

thanks

Count word occurrences in a Word Table

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:00 AM PST

I have a table in Word that has three columns. I need to count the number of "Y's" in the third column (rows 3-33) and total them at the bottom. How do I do this? I know it is easy in Excel, and I know I can paste a worksheet into Word from Excel, but that looks sloppy. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

page numbering problem

 Word is putting the format codes and squiggly lines in instead of page numbers.  How can I delete this and start adding page numbering to my documents?

Copy and Pasting from From Website to word, wordpad or notepad, ( not copying everything, cells correctly)

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PST

SO i just wanted to share my insight and contribute by saying that if you are having issues with copying and pasting from a website (or anything) to another program like word or notepad. The systems clipboard needs to be cleared and reset. The only solution i have found is to use CCleaner as it clears everything from temporary system files and temp system files. 

Again use CCleaner as it really helps! 

Macro word 2013 vs 2010

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PST

Hi,

i've made a office word 2010 template with macro.

I am now using Office word 2013.

When i open the document back with Office 2010, macro doesn't work. Word change all my object name, adding 1 to the end.

So for example, textbox became textbox1 and so on. When I enable macro, macro run, but since it can't find my object it ends up in error.

When I open document with word 2013 i don't have any problem at all.

Macro are very simple macro using active x object (for example loading a list into a combo box on document open with .list ecc.)

Could someone help me?

Because I have no clue on how to check out error, since im running just office 2013 and i've to try and send file.

It can be the file is open in read only?

Thank you so much.

Formatting styles issues in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PST

I am having a problem with a large composite document with a small number of repeated headings. I've used my own customised styles for these. The problem is that I can't get the 'normal' style to work. I hit enter after the last heading and it defaults to Heading 1; if I click 'Normal' it just reverts to Heading 1. I have tried copying and pasting the contents of the document into a new one, but this issue just transfers to the new document. Please could you advise me how to fix this?

Footers in Report with different page layouts

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:39 AM PST

I work in Word 1013 and do a monthly report with a cover page, TOC and the pages of the report wich contain photos and tables which often requires the pages to turn from Portrait to Landscape and back.

How do I get my text to remain on the edges and centered for page numbers and have the numbers run continuous from portrait to landscape and back without resetting tabs?

There are reports that I spend hours trying to get the footers to behave.

Office 2013 Apps No Longer Copy/Paste Rich formatting

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:52 AM PST

This is driving me nuts, it started a couple of weeks ago and has persisted through updates, restarts, etc. I have just started noticing that I can no longer paste formatted text in any Office application, everything copied turns into stripped down plain text. Copy a richly formatted paragraph out of Word? Pastes into the Outlook text window as plain text. Tables in Excel? Ruined tabbed text in Word. One word of bolded text from Word? Plain text paste into OneNote.

All formatting is getting stripped, and the Paste Special popup does not always appear anymore, when it does, all three choices (keep source, merge, plain) all produced plain text on paste. Control-V? Plain text. Strangely, copy and paste even within the same program strips it out, but dragging and dropping formatted text keeps it.

Some things to help in diagnosis:

Office 2013 Business Premium (this is the forum they sent me to to ask) latest version/patched

Windows 8.1 fully patched and up to date

Skype Click to Call is not installed (already been through that potential fix) In fact, Skype is not installed at all.

Yes I have restarted multiple times.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? This is pretty core functionality that is messed up.

Read Only

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:26 AM PST

Hello. I'm having a problem opening files (.docx). I create a word doc, save it (it uploads to One Drive) then when I go to open it again it only (and always) opens in Read Only format.
It's getting bothersome because I have to change the file name to save it again. Is there some Read Only option somewhere I can uncheck? Why do my docs always open in Read Only?

Also, perhaps unrelated, what's the difference between Office 365 and One Drive. I have both but are unclear how the interact.

Thanks.

Word styles applying to text above and below / corrupting styles / template error

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 03:38 AM PST

I am using a Word 2010 template with multiple styles created.  I have created 3 heading styles.  If I apply Heading 2 to a line of text with a hard return at the end, then apply a different style to the text below, it automatically makes the heading style above, that same style.  If I add a hard return, I can keep my styles, but this leaves gaps in my document.  As soon as I delete the hard return, both lines of text assume the same style...... HELP :-)

I am using word 2010 (although my template is in compatability mode, (so word 97-2003) with windows 7.

experiencing a glitch/problem when using the block library function in Word 2013.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:38 AM PST

When using the block library (/ pre-defined text box) function in Word, I'm experiencing sort of a glitch/problem. 

It seems, as far as I have narrowed down the problem as related to the built-in referencing (for bibliography) system. 

When using blocks (or pre-defined text boxes for that part) with simple text I don't experience any problem, bus as soon as I add the references to the document (and save), something goes wrong.

So, what happends is, when I want to choose a block from the list, they start showing for like half a second (if I'm really fast, I can choose one), but then the list gets all white (see picture below), and I can no longer choose a block (obviously).
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

how to delete a page with data from a word ie.. 1-5 and you dont need page 4

I have a Word doc with 62  pages and need to remove 10 and can't figure out how to delete.

Deleting lines after mail merge

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:11 PM PST

We use mail merge to create multiple reports (in Word) at once for different customers (over 300).  A very simple version of our Word document is below:

Beginning balance                               $XXXXX
Purchases $XXX
Discounts $XX
Fees $XX
Ending balance             $XXXXX

 

First column is the same for every customer, but second one changes (merge field) depending on customer's information (data from Excel).  The problem is that if the value is zero (no discounts or fees) for one or more lines, we delete those lines manually one by one. It is very time consuming and I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to get rid of those lines with a zero in second column...

Thank you in advance

Word doc: How can I change multiple Form Check Boxes at once.

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:44 PM PST

I have 25 pages worth, all the check boxes reside in front of text within one column of a table. They all need to be "X" checked? and its driving me crazy to select and paste (current solution).

Is there a way to select the rows, or all formcheckbox, and make a global type change to make them all "checked"?

new hard drive

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:40 PM PST

I have a MacBok Pro.  When I bought the laptop several years ago, they transferred my stcontents from my old laptop to my new laptop.  That included a version of Office.  Last week, my hard drive started to decay, and I installed a new one.  Now when I try to work on the Word documents I had on my desktop, the machine asks me to activate Word with some Pass Key number.  It won't let me work on them otherwise.  I don't have the old pass key number any more, and I don't think I should have to rent word or office from Microsoft, just because an Apple hard drive wear out.  Any suggestions?

Word 2013 Page Breaks

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm writing an e-book with Heading One attributed to sections throughout the book.  Before I do my TOC — I've placed page breaks immediately before my headings.

Here's what I'm trying to understand...

Every time I hit the page break button — it adds a blank page to my document.  Of course I could remove pages but that doesn't seem to be the right choice.  There must be a reason it does that.  I just don't understand what it is.  

When I turn on the show/hide marker and scroll down the page — it will show me that there are one or two pages between the page breaks.

Does this happen to anyone else? 

Thanks for listening.
