Possible Word for iOS 8.1 bug - Revisions being shown even though they're removed

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 02:38 PM PDT

Hi,

I think that I may have encountered a bug in Microsoft Word for iOS 8.1 where revisions are appearing, i.e. in red strike-through text, even though I have done the below:

  1. Accepted all changes via Review > Accept All Changes in Microsoft Word
  2. Used Document Inspector to remove all Comments, Revisions, Versions, Annotations, Document Properties, etc.
  3. Viewed Final Markup and Final versions, and confirmed that no revisions, comments, etc. exist

Oddly enough, I do NOT see revisions using an iPhone running 7.1.2 - the bug is only existing in iOS 8.1.

Is anyone able to provide any insight as to how this can be resolved?

Thanks!

When using Microsoft word 2013. I have some questions

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 01:02 PM PDT

Do I h
have to set a default color for my documents? I always assumed the default color for a document font would be black. Is that true or do I have to make sure that it's black, because I do not want red lettering or something strange like that it comes as a great surprise to me that I might have to choose a default color for a font. Please let me know. I appreciate all input . The program is office/word 2013, there doesn't seem to be a place for 2013. So that's why put other or unknown

Word 2013 Style Incompatibility

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 12:54 PM PDT

Word 2013 is extremely slow when opening/saving/searching certain large files. This is particularly noticeable when attempting to work with the Doxygen RTF output files for code documentation. When using find/replace macros on said files Word 13 effectively freezes.

1) The files and find-replace macros choking Word 2013 to death will open and run in Word 2010.

2) If the RTF file is opened in WordPad and saved as plain text then Word 2013 can open the .txt file and run all necessary macros.

3) Saving the .rtf file into .doc format does not improve performance.

4) Saving a working .txt file into .doc format does not worsen performance.

5) I have attempt all speed-fixes outlined in this thread with no success. (Disabled graphics acceleration, disabled background saving, etc)

Since the only 'fix' that seems to have worked was striping out all formatting I suspect there might be an incompatibility or gross inefficacy related to an unknown style or format.

Does anyone know if there are any particular styles or formatting options that work in Word 2010 but not in Word 2013? Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a fix with more elegance and less brute force desperation that a pure-text conversion?

For reference, the file that is currently bringing word to a crawl is 25 MB in original .rtf format, 18MB once saved as a .doc, or 11MB if saved as plain text.

I already debugged the macro. It freezes everything as soon as it attempts to run a Find operation in the problematic document. See lines below.

'--------------------------------------------------.

Dim tag As String

tag = GetStringProperty("Trace_ProjectID") & "_" & _

GetStringProperty("Trace_FileID")

Dim rng As Range

set rng = ActiveDocument.Content

While (rng.Find.Execute(tag) = true)

'The above line eats about an hour, per iteration, in the problem document.

'The only time I have seen the macro complete was when a ProjectID typo resulted in no matches.

Templates force US spellchecker

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 12:28 PM PDT

I'm using Office 365 University on Windows 8.1. I've set the Windows default language to Canadian with the US keyboard (because I don't have one of those crazy French Canadian keyboards), and set the Word default language to the same. In both cases, I deleted the US language/spelling dictionary. Yet, whenever I start a new document using a template (such as the APA report I'm using right now), it marks properly spelled words as wrong. New blank documents don't have that problem. Is there something I can do, or I have to put up with adding words like "colour" and "behaviour" to a dictionary I don't even have installed?

MS Word 2010--cross reference hyperlinks don't work when saving as html

As an example, here is my list (which is at the beginning of the document).  Each one of these items have subsequent paragraphs (including the same title) relevant to the subject.  When I delete each line item, I want the relevant text (could be a single line or multiple paragraphs) to be deleted as well, without scrolling for it.  BTW:  Multi-level numbering (template) is used in this document.

Recording macros in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:07 AM PDT

I am running Windows 8.1 and Word Home and Student 2013, I am trying to record a bunch of macros (which I used to on a regular basis a few years back, with no problems. I would like to assign keyboard strokes to them (eg: type "yt" which will expand to "Yours Truly," etc). I open the Macro menu; Record macro; name it; save it to normal/all; assign it to the keyboard; But when I go to "Press new shortcut key", it won't let me enter anything. I just get a flashing cursor. If I close this box, it take me to the document to record the keystrokes, but nowhere can I assign the shortcut keys. If I hit run macro, it's there, but again - where do I assign the keystrokes to call up the macro? Any help appreciated!!! Desperately need to test so I can get to work!!!

Using VBA Code to clear information that has been generated by UserForm on Word 2013

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 08:33 AM PDT

Hi,

I am in the process of putting together a standard quote form. I have managed to add a userform, which appears when the document is open and then populates the form using bookmarks.

What I am struggling to figure out is how I go about clearing the information that has been previously added to the document using the Userform.

Also, is it possible for me to use a code to generate a sequential job number.

The ideal plan is to open the master copy of the word document (which shows the next available job number), input the required information into the Userform, which populates the form then press a button which in turn will save a 2 copies (One Word and One PDF) of the form with the Job Number as the Name while clearing master copy and generating next job number ready for the next Quote.

Hope this makes sense, I am a complete beginner when it comes to running these codes and any help or guidance anyone could provide would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

I have a Photo Template that was created on Word 2003 I believe.
I tried using it in 2010 and it just wasn't working, I had to alter the code and I'm not that great at it.

I now have 2013 and the original template macros appear to work fine and be compatible and I can navigate them no problem.

However, when I get the Word to run my photos it stops responding on the very first photo and crashes.

I don't know what to do, I just want to know if there is something I need to do to make this macros work.

Thank you!

Using a Fillable Word Form on iPad

Error! No text of specified style in document.

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 04:08 AM PDT

Hi

I have added a StyleRef in the header of our normal.dotm in Word 2013.  It should display heading 1.

When a document contains a heading 1, the StyleRef works great.  However, when I open a new document, I see an error as heading 1 is yet to be populated.

"Error! No text of specified style in document."

This does not look good and confuses end-users.  Also, there may be scenarios where a heading 1 is not needed.

Is there away of setting a default value or not display any text until heading 1 is populated?

Help with multilevel list indentation problem - Word 2013

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 07:23 AM PDT

I have set up a list number for a template that could be used by a lot of people.  It works pretty well, but I have one problem in getting indentation set up properly, and I have been  in the list number set up window (and experimented with settings) a thousand times with no resolution.

In the image below that shows an excerpt of the document, I want the 2nd line of the 3rd level list (3.2.1) to indent like 2nd line of the 2nd level list (3.1).  In other words, I want the second line of text to align with the first line of text, not align with the number.  And, of course, I want it to happen automatically and consistently throughout the document when someone does a Decrease Indent to add a 3rd level list number and has enough text to have a second line - it should have that alignment-format.  The only way to do it now is to manually go to the paragraph setting and set up the hanging indent after the 3rd level is created.  Obviously not a great solution for a template. 

The 2nd line on the 3.1 level always aligns with the 1st line.  The 2nd line on the 3.1.1 level never does (unless I have modified paragraph settings for an existing list item).  I am including the List Setup window too. 

Please help me!  I want this template to work great.

Running Exchange 2007 on Active Directory Server

Posted: 06 Jan 2009 06:17 AM PST


Hello Henry,

Thank you for your post and others' input.

Ideally, you should install Exchange Server 2007 only on a member server or
as a stand-alone in the case of the edge transport. One limitation of
installing Exchange Server 2007 is that you will not be able to use the
DCPROMO command to add or remove the directory server role. You cannot
promote a member server that has Exchange installed to a domain controller,
and you cannot demote a domain controller that has Exchange installed to
the status of member server.

However, if you are running Exchange Server as a part of Microsoft Small
Business Server 2000 or Windows Small Business Server 2003, you can install
Exchange Server on a domain controller. However, if you are not running
Exchange Server as part of Small Business Server, it is recommended that
you avoid running Exchange Server on a domain controller.

If you are running Exchange Server on a domain controller without Small
Business Server, be aware of the following issues:

" Exchange Server and Active Directory are both resource-intensive
applications. There are performance implications to be considered when both
are running on the same computer.
" If Exchange Server is running on a domain controller, you must also make
that domain controller a global catalog server. For more information about
creating a global catalog server, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
313994, "How to create or move a global catalog in Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000, or Small Business Server 2000"
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid= 313994).
" Several Exchange Server directory components, such as Directory Service
Access (DSAccess), Directory Service Proxy (DSProxy) and the Message
Categorizer will not fail over to any other domain controller or global
catalog server.
" You should not take advantage of the /3GB startup switch in Windows
because it could cause Exchange Server to consume all memory, thus reducing
the memory available for Active Directory.
" System shutdown will take considerably longer if the Exchange Server
services are not stopped before shutting down or restarting the server.
" This configuration is less secure because Exchange administrators will
have local administrative access to Active Directory, enabling them to
elevate their own privileges. In addition, any security vulnerability found
in either Exchange Server or Active Directory exposes the other to
compromise.
" If you are running Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 on a
domain controller, using the domain controller promotion tool (DCPromo) to
change the computer role is not supported, and is known to break components
such as Microsoft Outlook? Mobile Access.
" Running Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 on a clustered node
that is also an Active Directory domain controller is not supported and
should never be done. This means that if you are running Exchange 2000
Server on a node in a cluster that is also a domain controller, you must
demote the server to a member server prior to upgrading from Exchange 2000
Server to Exchange Server 2003.

For more information, please refer to the following articles:

This Exchange server is also a domain controller, which is not a
recommended configuration
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997407.aspx

Exchange resident on domain controller that is not a global catalog server
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997060.aspx

Hope this helps to address your concerns. Also, if you have any questions
or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.


Best regards,
Robbin Meng(MSFT)

VPN to Moved Exchange Server

Posted: 22 Dec 2008 12:21 PM PST

Sounds like your VPN client may be the culprit. Our firm restricts your
ability to use any network resources other than what's on the current subnet
for security. If your remote Exchange Server is on a different subnet than
your normal work subnet, you wouldn't be able to get to it if setup like we
are. You get DNS resolution because your DNS server is on your current
subnet, but it appears your Exchange Server is not.

What else can I try to get this to work.

Thanks

Using outlook express in Word 2007

Posted: 29 Nov 2008 08:51 AM PST

In Internet Options do you have Outlook Express set as your Mail
application?

If you have Outlook installed, and you dont use it, uninstall it, as every
Office update will reset Outlook as the default

Can't purchase a product key for an Office 2007 trial product

Posted: 28 Nov 2008 09:46 PM PST

If you need that version - do it NOW. Microsoft has lowered the price on
that version this weekend (thru Monday). You could buy it from Amazon.com
for $70! That's have the cost. Plus you'll get free shipping.

Opening Files with Windows Explorer

Posted: 28 Nov 2008 05:40 AM PST

While I don't have an in-Office fix for that problem, I can tell you how to
do so in Windows XP.
Start>Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types.

Once there, find .PPT, .PPS, and .POT and change them to open with Microsoft
PowerPoint 2003.

Lost - Office 2007 Home and Student Disk

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 11:37 PM PST

I don't think you can, but there's another solution to your problem.

Download the free Office 2007 Home and Student off the Microsoft Website.
Then take the option to activate the product and enter your old activation
key. It should work perfectly, and you should have Office Home and Student
again.

Office 2007 Unusable in Limited User Account

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 09:17 PM PST

Well, this is really disappointing. It's a shame that two Microsoft products -- Office 2007 and Windows XP -- can't work together.

As I previously said, resetting registry permissions with SubInAcl didn't help.

Applying MSKB 911682 didn't help. ("Windows Installer-related event IDs are logged in the Applications Log when you start an Office program")

Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Office (with security software turned off, of course) made no difference.

Resetting permissions on Office registry keys did nothing.

Office 2007 is not practical to use in a Limited User account on XP Home.

Now I must choose between using Office in Administrator accounts exclusively, forgoing the increased security afforded by the Limited User account, or using OpenOffice, which works just fine in a Limited User account. Since I am unwilling to give the children Administrator accounts, it looks like they're going to be using OpenOffice.

<sigh>...I thought I had this problem licked, but I was wrong.

I use Windows XP Home SP 3. I installed portions of Office Enterprise 2007 (Word, Excel and Outlook) from my Administrator account. I used the software in my Administrator account for a few days, and everything was going well. Then I switched back to my Limited User account.

In the Limited User account, each and every time I start Word or Excel, Office Enterprise 2007 wants to configure itself. This process lasts about 5 minutes. (I haven't used Outlook yet in the Limited User account.)

Since the problem only manifests in the Limited User account, I thought there might an issue somehow with permissions. I switched back to my Administrator account, completely uninstalled Office, and then installed SubInAcl and reset my registry permissions. After that, I installed Office 2007 again (Word, Excel and Outlook.) I switched back to my Limited User account and...you guessed it...same problem. Every time I start Word or Excel, Office 2007 spends 5 minutes configuring itself. Since I use Office just about every day, this behavior is not acceptable.

As a result, I have gone back to using my Administtator account for day-to-day computing, which is not an ideal situation. If anyone can help me to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

VLK Serial For Office 2007

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 11:10 AM PST

 

I'm familar with the new licensing system, but it does not apply to Office
2007, which uses the old VL keys that bypass activation.

As I've mentioned, I have a valid and working VLK. The only question is
whether I am allowed to use it or not for my internal use installs,
considering the note "Use this key for installing and using Office 2007
applications within a Terminal Services environment."

I'm asking since I won't be using Terminal Services.

I have normal/retail keys as well, but I'd really like to avoid activation
since we change hardware and reinstall Windows quite often here.

Thanks.

Office 2003 activation on an acquired cp

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 06:14 AM PST

DL,

Thanks for the practical advice. I will get these cps online in a day or so
and will then give Magic Jelly Bean a try. If that doesn't work I'll
uninstall what is on the cps and then reinstall from my own disk.

Thanks,

JBS

Why is outlook and office so slow???

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 04:03 AM PST

http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/profile.htm
see if the above helps to create the new profile with new data file
(NB You will need to have your account settings to hand)

Once done & tested,
Then in Outlook, File>Open>Data File.......the next window should open at
the default data file location - select the origonal data file (probably
named outlook.pst, but you can check this from Persoanl Folders properties
in your current installation)

Then in the tree view of outlook (left pane) you will have a second set of
Personal Folders (toward the bottom)
Select a folder, eg Inbox, select all mail and drag it to the Inbox folder
of the Primary Personal Folders Inbox (Top of tree view)
Do this for all your mail folders.

can't find my office

Posted: 26 Nov 2008 01:21 AM PST

The PC must be fairly old as Office 2000 has been out of production for some
years.

You need the cd's in order to repair Office, you may be able to borrow, or
buy cd's from eg Ebay
