Microsoft Word - Autocorrect font style and color change help, please

Autocorrect font style and color change help, please

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 01:02 PM PST

I do transcription, and sometimes I have to make a "minute" notation at the playback location where I am in a given channel, so that I can coordinate it with that same position on another channel. When I insert these notations, I like to put them as bold red inside square brackets, so that I can easily find and delete them later. I have tried setting up auto correct to create the first red bracket so that I can then type the minute, but I am having trouble maintaining the bold red font long enough to type the actual minute notation. And of course I want to back out of the bold red at the end of typing the minute info. I created an autocorrect for this closing bracket in plain black. I don't mind having one black unbolded bracket at the end of the minute notation. But I would like the minute numerals I type, after implementing the bold red bracket, to stay in bold red until I implement.the plain black bracket. Instead, as soon as I type my space to implement my bold red bracket, all my text goes back to normal black . How can I maintain the bold read text until I am ready to type my AutoCorrect plain black bracket?  I also thought about writing a macro to handle this, but I am not that good at writing macros in Word, or at least not ones that have variable text in them . I would be willing to try, if someone could help me with that.

Mail Merge using headers in the first column?

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 11:01 AM PST

I know it's traditional to use the headers from the first row of an excel document in a word document mail merge, but I worked for a company who actually had their table rotated so the headers were in the first column. I'm trying to duplicate that now and failing miserably. The excel document we use has 28 headers to fill in and it would be great to be able to see it all on one page rather than having to scroll back and forth. Reading headers from the first column rather than the first row would enable that. Is there a way to make that happen?

Thanks!

Spell check not operating properly

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 10:08 AM PST

I am writing a paper and when I use spell check it only checks about half of the document. Rather, it checks the entire document, but only flags about half of it. I verified this by purposely misspelling a few common words and I put in a few sentences that would normally be flagged for formatting. I have reset the document several times, but I get the same thing every time. Not sure if I accidentally changed something, or if I need to check another setting. Any help is appreciated. It is driving me nuts.

Thanks,

Can't get Help to open in Home 365

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 09:24 AM PST

I've been using Home 365 for about two months now and find it a bit confusing since I've had Office 2003 forever. So the Help feature should be a huge help but I can't get it to work and the two issues I've had that I used the Help Desk for hasn't been a great experience at all. I have installed Office 365 on my wife's computer which is Windows 7 Pro 32 bit and it appears to work fine. My office system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and has had its issues. The primary issue now is getting the Help section to work. In Word or Outlook, the main two programs I'm using right now, mouse clicking on the ? in the upper right corner of the screen is suppose to open Help. On my wife's computer it does, not on mine. It also indicates that F1 will open Help, mine no joy, wife's computer it immediately opens.

So I have no idea what is causing this but I would think the Help option might just keep me from looking in all the wrong places for answers if I can get it to work. The only other issue I've had that I'm aware of with this computer and MS is IE11. When I do a MS Update scan it reports that MS IE11 is ready for downloading and installing. IE11 is already installed as when opened about reports that it is version 11.0.9600.17207 and Update version is 11.0.10. Update fails and Help Desk couldn't resolve after a long session of remote control. They just "Hide" the update. I should mention that I also have MS EMET installed and when I went to un-install it a week after installing Office 365 Home it made running Office 365 impossible. Another long remote session with Help Desk and then re-installing EMET before Office would work again. I was under the impression that having EMET installed would enhance the computer security but the only real result I've seen is the very slow connection of IE opening a link. IE starts fast enough but there is a long pause before the pages load.

Now I don't know if IE11 is used for the Office 365 Home  help feature but I can't think of any other reason for this. Any suggestions would be very welcomed.

Thanks,

Steve

Microsoft Office 365 Word- Manual add add-in

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 08:42 AM PST

Hello,

Is there anyway to manually add an add-in to Microsoft word? I downloaded an add-in called Perrla (it is used to APA formating in papers). When I run perrla, it tells me that either my version of word is too old to be supported  or I am running a click to run version of word 2010. I am using Microsoft 365... and I thought this was downloaded on to my computer and not streamed from online...

Anybody know anything that could help?

Thanks

MS Word 2007 VBA Macro to change an image inside a table cell

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 06:28 AM PST

I am very new to VBA Macros in MS Word, and I have read from the example in this page that a VBA Macro can be used to open a dialog box and add a picture -- very powerful to me.

I have a table containing many cells, each cell contains a single picture and some text below (the picture uses "Wrap Text" -> "Square", "Align Center" and "Align Bottom"), but the whole cell is set as "Hidden" (using the Font Effects option) so the cell contents are not going to be printed out. And the "Autofit" property of the cell is already turned on.

What I would like is to write a macro to do the following (assume the cursor is at a table cell when the macro is run):

  • Open a dialog box for user to select a picture
  • Change the picture in the cell where the cursor is from the original one to the one selected by the user (deleting the original picture and inserting the new one is also acceptable)
  • The picture should be inside the cell, and Wrap Text effect and the alignment should remain unchanged. The picture size is not important, but the aspect ratio of the new picture should be locked
  • Remove the "hidden" effect of the whole cell

Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

old msgraph needed

Posted: 06 Mar 2015 10:38 PM PST

I have several word documents that have charts in them created with older versions of word (2007/2003).

I installed 2010 and now when I double click them to edit, they actual chart goes to about half size but the place holder is large.

I don't want to use the excel functions because the charts need to be updated through another 3rd party program.

So.  I have to keep the charts via msgraph.   But, when I double click the chart (or they get opened up by the 3rd party software)  they actual plot shrinks to about half size and the place holder is same or larger.

Any ideas on settings or preferences that would prevent the graph plots from resizing when double clicked?

Thanks

Word Templates 2010 or 2013

Posted: 06 Mar 2015 09:22 PM PST

I am trying to find some guidance on how to create a template.

Not just click File Save As Template but how to design a template so that the formatting is restricted.

I understand the restrict editing feature but I see some Word Templates from Office online that have these tags (for lack of the actual terms) around the the category that the user needs to fill in.  What are these calls and how do they work?

I work with some folks that are novices in Word, so I want to design an easy point and click set up for them to enter headings. Any suggestions?

That is not quite correct. When I was first experimenting with lvm,
I used pvcreate to create a physical volume on an entire usb drive
(after I'd erased the the mbr). I later rebooted the system into
xp home, and found out the hard way, that xp will put a partition
table on any removable devices that don't have one. It doesn't let
you know it's doing this, it just does it. It won't do this if the
pv takes up an entire hard drive, but it will do it on a removable
drive.

Linux/lvm will not overwrite the first sector, but xp will.

The technocrats (and wannabees) are so desperate to change the

GDEs.

They don't want the newbies to question the use of the Graphical

ignorant of how Linux actually works, and thus dependent on
them for technical support.

They want the newbies to believe that in order to run Linux
from the commandline that you have to be some kind of guru,
which is complete bull.

All you have to do is understand the _basics_ of how Linux
works and the _basics_ of how the shell works.

That's all John knows, and if he hadn't sold out to the
M$-allied corporations behind the GDEs, he'd be trying to
teach what he knows to the newbies instead of running
interference on threads intended to do just that.

Here's how you beat s like these fellows: You just
do a little reading and a little playing around with the
commandline, and in no time at all you know everything
they do and can show them the door and tell them to take
their ugly Windows-clone user-interfaces with them.
