Getting rid of read only status of document

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 02:07 PM PST

I have one long, over 700 pages, document that consistently shows up as Read-only.  So every time I change it , i need to resave it as a new document and delete the old one.  Since it is in a oneDrive file, this means it must resync every time.  And, oddly, when I go to delete the old document, it says I can't since it is in use by Word even tho I closed it. 

I have checked its properties, and the Read-only box is not checked.  

None of the otehr doucment in teh folder have this problem.  

any ideas - is it too long.

Word Form Design

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 12:05 PM PST

Hi I am looking for some guidance and hope you all can help...... I work for a construction company where we day in day out have to fill in a Method Statement template made in word. When I say a template it is a basic word document with headings which we have to fill out with details of the job, scope of works and method etc. What I would like to do is help the project manager by having some sort or Q&A i.e. a userfrom which asks questions relating to each of the headings in the template. I would then like to be able to automatically construct the detail for the Method Statement based upon the answers!? Is this something that can be created in Word or will it be to in depth and maybe a more custom software would be best........ If so is there any advice on things to look at?

I thank you all in advance for any advice!

Problem with Form functionality once I save (MS Word 2010)

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 11:14 AM PST

I am trying to create a form in MS Word.  On the developer tab, I select a combination of plain text, drop down and date picker options.  When done, I click on Protect Document, Restrict Editing and Formatting, I check the "allow only this type of editing in the document," check "filling in forms" and click on "Yes, Start Enforcing Protections."  I enter a password and the form seems to work.

I then save the form.  When I retrieve the form, the cursor stays at the top and does not move.  The form does not work.   I would appreciate the help to figure out this problem.  Thank you!

How do I connect Google Drive as a connected service for storage in Office?

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 10:24 AM PST

I'm running on Windows 8.1 with Office Professional Plus 2013. 

No matter where I look, or what I do - I can't seem to add google drive as a connected service for data storage. I've tried using scripts advised online, using youtube tutorials as walkthroughs but I just cannot seem to get it to work. 

I'd imagine office would be able to do this automatically by now? 

Has anyone been successful in a similar situation, who can help?

Word Macro does not record menu selections when sizing a picture

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 09:22 AM PST

I am trying to record a macro that adjusts the width of a picture I select to 5". The Word 10 document is based off a normal.dotm template.

When I start the macro recording the first keystroke I do is a Ctrl+Shift+ left cursor key, to select the picture I want to resize to a width of 5 inches. The macro picks up that keystroke, all subsequent keystrokes, which are utilizing options on the word menu, are not recorded?

I have tried using both the F10 key and the ALT key options to select the word menu options that resize the selected graphic. The keystrokes work during the recording and do resize the selected graphic to a width to 5 inches; however, none of the corresponding keystrokes after selecting the graphic are captured by the macro?

The only info that is captured during the whole resize task is the following information:

Sub Resize_5()
'
' Resize_5 Macro
'
'
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
End Sub

Any ideas why the macro is not recording the subsequent menu keystrokes... this is not the first time I have had a problem like this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Conditional Label Merge Question

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 06:41 AM PST

I am trying to create a mail merge with labels, where sometimes there are two people and sometimes one. When the second name is present, I'd like there to be a new label, but skip creating a new label if "name 2" is empty.

I'm so close...

I have

{MERGEFIELD NAME1}
{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF} {IF {MERGEFIELD NAME2}<> "" "{MERGEFIELD NAME2}

{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF}" ""}

And I think what I need is:

{MERGEFIELD NAME1}
{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF} {IF {MERGEFIELD NAME2}<> "" "Enter a tab code or something here to push the information to another label {MERGEFIELD NAME2}

{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF}" ""}

Is this possible? It would make my life so much easier... I could even take a vacation!

Many thanks in advance.

Can TC fields be used to build the Navigation Pane?

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 06:38 AM PST

I built a table of contents using TC tags. However, it doesn't build the navigation pane. For formatting reasons, I don't want to just use the Heading styles to build the table of contents (which would obviously build the navigation pane, but it would break what I'm trying to do with other formatting). So does anyone know if there's a switch I can use with TC fields that would make them work properly with the Navigation Pane?

Also, can someone tell me why in the world they WOULDN'T work that way? Why would I want to build a table of contents and NOT have the navigation pane also work??? (Sorry, venting)

WORD 2013 - Track Changes

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:44 AM PST

Hi

I am reviewing a document in WORD that has been reviewed in track changes a number of times. There are deletions, insertions and comments throughout the document. However, whilst I can see the name of the person who has deleted wording and/or inserted a comment I cannot see any of the words they actually deleted (because the person's name appears on the far left whilst their deletion/comments start on the far right and thus, you cannot see any of it OR I can just see the first line of their comment and I have to rely on the review panel for the rest of the comment which makes reviewing the document really difficult).  Weirdly, this only seems to be an issue with some documents I am reviewing and not others... 

Thanks for your help.

Manually resizing table columns in Word - cursor issue

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:10 AM PST

Since switching to Word 2013 I have found it very fiddly to position the cursor just right to allow me to manually adjust table column width. It switches from arrow cursor to text cursor far too quickly. Unless you painstakingly ease the pointer towards the cell border millimetre by millimetre - a noticeable waste of time if you have to do it frequently, which I do - the resize cursor flashes into and out of existence too quickly to be useful.

Is there a trick (a keyboard shortcut would be ideal, but I'll take anything) that calls up the resize cursor quickly and reliably?

Windows 7 Windows Explorer Preview pane

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:06 AM PST

Windows Support Engineer has requested I post this issue on this forum. I personally feel it is a Windows Explorer issue and not a Word issue, but I am doing as he requested.....:-)......

My Windows Explorer Preview pane lost the ability to view .doc files in the Windows Explorer preview pane.


  1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  2. Office 2003
  3. I have no problem whatsoever opening, viewing, editing, saving, copying, moving, converting, sending, etc. doc files any place other than in Windows Explorer. The message "No preview available" appears in the prev pane when a doc file is selected. I used to be able to see the full contents of the document in the preview pane.
  4. I CAN view ALL kinds of files in the preview pane EXCEPT .doc. I can view pdf, graphics (vector) files, and all kinds of usual and unusual image files.
  5. I always used to be able to view .doc 2003 previews in the Windows 7 Windows Explorer Preview pane!!! (Contrary to many old posts which say this is not possible.)
  6. I have Sage Thumbs, DM Thumbs, and Pictus installed. I have already run the Repair Sage Thumbs utility, which usually fixes any problems with the Preview pane, thumbnails, and file icons.
  7. Please do not suggest returning the system to a restore point.
  8. Please do not suggest possible solutions which are not relevant to Word 2003 and Windows 7....:-)....

I assume some setting has changed somewhere (perhaps from some Windows Update?).

Many thanks for any relevant suggestions!

Word 2010 End tag doesn't match error

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 01:49 AM PST

So I have the similar mismatched end tag error in a Word document supposed at line 2 column 1730065. I tried the FixIt tool although didn't expect that to find anything since there were no formulas and my Office has been updated with the service packs. I did try using an XML editor but I was just getting lost. I suppose I can recreate the whole thing but there was a lot of work and if it's an easy fix that someone can help with it would be great. I've uploaded the file to: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2qic03fgvvfiee4/Call%20Back%20Sides.docx?dl=0

Thanks, Stan

Slight difference gets magnified

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 09:02 PM PST

I have two versions of my document that are supposed to be identical. But on one specific page, one document contains one more line at the bottom of a specific page than the other. This difference gets magnified as the document proceeds until one doc has a whole extra page. (I don't want the extra page.) This messes up my page "parity" (each major part should start on an odd page). I don't know why there is a difference. I've checked the page size, margins, and styles and they are the same. This problem has cost me almost a week of editing and I never know when the difference might pop up again. Any ideas?

Can't change default Word dictionary

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:30 PM PST

I've noticed that my Word dictionary is stuck in "English (U.S.)" as default. If I click on the dictionary button at the bottom of Word doc and change to English (Australia) after message "This change will affect all new documents based on NORMAL template" I select "Yes". BUT When I re-open the doc it reverts to English (US) and if I check "Options" to change dictionary to English (Australia) it is already set as default.

How do I get Word to use English (Australia) as the default dictionary permanently? Why do I even have an Australian dictionary if it can't be used as default? Do I need to change setting on templates and if so how do you do this?

Appreciate any suggestions.

Steve from Oz.

Macro to Delete Unnecessary Spaces

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PST

I edit engineering specifications. The specification numbers are in this format: Section XX XX XX (Example: Section 26 52 17). However, there are times where the client wants the numbers to be Section XXXXXX (i.e. Section 265217) or on rare occasions Section XX XXXX (Section 26 5217). How can I create a macro that will combine those three numbers into one? I'd like it to have a yes/no option to it. Thank you.
