Problem with Page numbers not appearing on screen documents

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 10:22 AM PST


When I use Header/Footer OR insert page numbers -- <PAGE> appears on my document, but the actual numbers don't appear.   When I print the page, the numbers print out.    Before a couple of months ago the Header/Footer or insert page numbers worked fine.  I need to get this corrected ASAP in order to send in a publication.  I need the actual numbers to appear on my screen document.

How to ensure the greeting line always appears on the same line irrespective of the length of the address block

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 06:04 AM PST

Address blocks are not all the same length, some may be 4 lines long others may be 5 or 6. I want to ensure that the greeting line does not appear in the window of an envelope when the length of the address block is not one of the longer addresses. Is it possible to ensure the greetings line always appears on the same line for each letter and any page skipping always skips at the same place for each letter.

 

Thankyou in advance for any help.

Word (2010 or 2013) custom templates

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 03:38 PM PST

i want to produce several documents based on a template where only a few fields (like company names and dates) would change per document.  is there a way to build a custom "wizard" or "userform" in word (2010 or 2013) without having to write code?  i would also like to specify certain chunks of boilerplate content to be included/excluded from the document.

Scanned document has different page sizes

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 04:42 AM PST

I scanned an A4 document on a HP Scanner.  File is an RTF.  When I open it in Word it has some pages at A4 size and some at Legal.  When I try and change the page size it very helpfully tells me I have exceeded width of page and it will not allow me to change it.  It will also not identify where the problem is.  I have tried copy and past to a new document and it carries the problem with it.  

I have saved file as .doc and .docx and it does the same thing.

HOW can I force it to change page size regardless of content on page?

Any help gratefully received....

Saving a document created from a template containing macros

Posted: 12 Nov 2012 12:15 AM PST

I've searched through the forums here, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I know the general topic has been dealt with several times before - my advance apologies - but I need a more detailed overview regarding the saving of documents created from a template containing macros. I am using Word 2010 on Windows 7.

My goal is to allow others to use a template I have made in order to create a dynamic document, i.e. one which retains the functions I have enabled through the addition of VBA macros - even after having saved the document. That is, I would like the document they have created to remain dynamic when changes are made after the initial save. My problem is figuring out how exactly this is to be accomplished.

I have created a template containing VBA macros, saved as a macro-enabled word template (.dotm). All the macros work fine in the template.

If I create a document (via either right-click > New or icon > double click) based on this template, all the macros work perfectly - until I save the newly created document. As I could gather from other forum posts, once the new document is saved as a normal Word document (.docx), then the macros will no longer work for any changes made in future edits. This makes sense to me, as - I'm assuming here - macros are not enabled in a .docx. However, I would like the document to remain dynamic, i.e. for the macros to continue working, even after the initial save.

To be more specific: My template performs - via VBA - some calculations and a few IfThen arguments based on them. While the document is being created from the template, I have no problem using the macro-enabled functions - all works as it should. If, however, I want to update this document using something which relies upon what was macro-driven in the original template, nothing happens. And that's a problem, as I don't want to have to fill out the entire template again just to make a relatively minor adjustment to the few numbers being calculated - which will, given the nature of the template - be required on a regular basis.

Can this be accomplished? Would it help to save the new document as a .docm instead of as a .docx? Does a copy of the original template need to be on every computer using documents created from that template in order for them to work? Would it be better to not use a template at all, but to simply make a copy of the original form (saved as a .docm) for each new document? And if I were to do so, would the VBA code in the original be copied also? If I mail a copy of a .docm, can the recipient use the macros?

I would really appreciate if someone could explain the details of saving documents created from templates containing macros, and whether or not there is a way to accomplish my goal.

Many thanks in advance,

-AM

Problem with Word find and replace

Posted: 10 Nov 2012 08:42 AM PST

I have a number of word documents from another author. In some of the documents, when I want to replace a section of text, I can locate it using the "find" box, but when I then go into the "replace" box it tells me it can't be found. The text is normal, a mixture of characters and numbers. It appears to be something to do with the spaces between the words, as sometimes when I try to delete the space using the back key, I have to press it more than once for it to work. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Upgrading to office 2003/ full version vs, upgrade?

Posted: 14 Apr 2004 12:50 PM PDT

news:0.0.1... 

Whether or not the Office XP upgrade from Office 2000 SB is an OEM version
it is still is a legal version of the software,
with all the available updates to it on the Office website. The question is
still if I bought a full version would it install over the the Office XP SB
version, or upgrade it?
I do assume though even if I buy the upgrade to SB 2003, that where my
version is a legal copy or not that it would upgrade with no problems? I
have never had problems before upgrading from OEM versions whether it is
microsoft or another program.

As to the cost for a full version compared to the upgrade. I have had no
problems so far with items I have bought off ebay. It is possible to get a
full version at a cost less then the upgrade version, depending on whom is
watching what at any giving time. In the same instance I have seen programs
on ebay that were bought at higher prices then if bought in Staples or
another store.

When using roman numerals in list numbering the text following numeral is not spaced evenly

Posted: 11 Nov 2012 01:40 PM PST

The text following I and II is spaced the same,, the text after III and IV starts much father.
That does not look nice when included in the Table of Content.
I cannot find settings which can adjust that.
If not for using list numbering I could regulate the distance using spaces. However because it is list numbering, Table of Content does not allow me to add spacres.

Any help?

For endnotes with multiple references 1,2,3... how to insert the commas separating ref #s in the superscripted text, and still enter each ref separately in the endnote list?

Posted: 11 Nov 2012 11:12 AM PST

Frequently one has several superscripted reference numbers to insert sequentially in an endnote list, e.g. "...word^ref# 1, ref#2, ref#3,...".  I have tried using a custom mark that included a comma after, or before a number (also tried using just a comma, but that generates a ref in the endnotes simply marked with that comma and no number).  I have come close to doing what I want, and have seen where it has been done in other documents, but so far in following the Word 2010 Help topic instructions (for inserting footnotes and endnotes) I have not succeeded in getting exactly the right results.  These have to be: (1) correct, comma-separated, superscripted numbers (each representing a mark, presumably) following the "target" word of interest in the text, and (2) the generated endnote entries in sequence in the list. Is it obvious how to do this? 

Office 2007 hyperlinks not working in windows 8

Posted: 11 Nov 2012 08:05 AM PST

Since upgrading to windows 8 all hyperlinks in Office 2007 have stopped working, with the message 'This action has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer'. Yes, there really is a spelling mistake!

There is plenty of advise on fixing this on the web referring to windows 7, but nothing about windows 8.

Resetting IE has not worked, but this is not surprising as even hyperlinks to other word documents stored on the computer's own hard drive get the same message.

 

Any help with specific reference to windows 8 would be appreciated.

MSVCR100.dll is missing?

Posted: 11 Nov 2012 06:37 AM PST

When I try to install the preview it says that it can't install because MSVCR100.dll is missing?

I had the preview installed and working fine except it refused to become my default (Now I'm thinking I was too selfish and should have left well enough alone!) so I tried repairing it. After a "repair" it stopped working ENTIRELY. So I uninstalled the program. Now I can't install. Initially it was because it thought my version of windows was too old (not modern). Except I am running Windows 7!

Someone suggested that I run the file as an admin in a previous question. Now it complains that I am missing this file.

Want 2013 as default

Posted: 10 Nov 2012 08:01 PM PST

When I initially installed the Beta all my documents changed so that the new beta program was the default program. This was enjoyable. 

I have no idea HOW it happened but my Word documents suddenly stopped going to 2013 but instead opened in 2010 (which was also installed the whole time). This is annoying as 2013 is an AMAZING program and works well with my other 2013 office programs. 2010 limits my access to things I enjoy doing. 

I can still open 2013 from the start menu but I hate having to open the program to open the file. I'd rather just open the file. However it seems I cannot select 2013 as a default, only 2010 is visible to my computer? HELP!

Regarding the article “Style basics in Word” from Word 2010

Regarding the article "Style basics in Word" from Word 2010 Help and in particular the section titled "Palettes of choices for applying layers of formatting" on ages 12 and 13

The first paragraph refers to Quick Style Sets being like collections of brushes and that they are named things like Word 2007, Manuscript and Traditional.  The paragraph further states that these collections of brushes are pre-stocked with brushes with names like Normal, Heading 1, Emphasis, etc.  But the Quick Style Set, collections of brushes, noted on page 12 are referred to as Style Sets on page 9. 

Is the list in the drop down menu, which is accessed via the Styles Dialog box Launcher, a list of Quick Styles?   It seems so.  If it is, what then is the list of names obtained via the drop down list of Change Styles and the Style Set option?

How to do a printless text box border?

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 09:03 AM PST

In OpenOffice (and I thought previous versions of MS Office) I can make a frame/text box with no border but it has a grey dashed line showing me the size of the frame/text box when I don't have the frame/box selected.  This doesn't print because the frame/text box settings disable the border, it's just for visual reference.

How do I do this in Word 2007?  If I set the border to no color I get a dashed blue outline when the frame/box is selected, but when I click somewhere else the blue disappears and I can't visually see the frame/box any more.

Why MS CRM?

Posted: 26 Jan 2004 07:01 AM PST

Hi Scott, I think there have been several great replies to you questions, I
just wanted to add a little more:

- You may want to find an independant company that can help you evaluate
various CRM products based on you requirements.

- There are a few companies that make add-ons for MSCRM, such as the
relationship tree by GaleForce Solutions, that gives you a consolidated,
tree view of all data related to contact/account/order/etc.

- If you want simple things like field capitalization, companies like mine
can add that in for you fairly inexpensively.

- I'd also strongly question the SQL thing as well. Basically, MSCRM is
very well architected behind the scenes and there are many features that
aren't yet implemented in the interface. It's quite apparent that there is
still alot more value yet to come in this product.

Create new entity or object

Posted: 25 Jan 2004 05:08 PM PST

Hi Scott, it's a lot of work to add your own entities in and make it work,
so I'd suggest:

1) Put your related data in a separate database, and store the id of the
associated MSCRM object in your DB so that you can match them up.

-or-

2) Use an existing entity as something else. But yes, you run the risk that
you may need this feature in the future. MS may also add the feature you
need, or allow you to add your own entity.

I'd suggest going with the first method (the supported method for
customization).

Yes they are members of the CRMAdmin group, they also currently have

Customer Service Representative
Maeketing Professional
Sales Manager
Salesperson
System Administrator
Vice President of Sales

Other CRM related Groups are

domain/CRM/MSDN Subscriber/SQLRepl
+domain/CRM/MSDN Subscriber/UserGroup
+domain/CRM/MSDN Subscriber/MSDN Subscriber/UserGroup/{2 users}

I did try making my test user a member of the Local Admin group on the
CRM Machine (this test user does not have CRMAdmin) and the Privilege
Use error was eliminated. I am now receiving an Application error from
DMSNAPIN which is Is - CRMSysAdmin : WhoAmI failed.

I assume this is due to the test user not having CRMAdmin. Currently I
am getting ready to hijack one of the user accounts that do have
CRMAdmin but I need to contact the user before I change a password
else I will receive a call very early tomorrow.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Joe,

There is no supported way to remove columns from the schema once they
have been added. So even though the columns aren't in the imported
xml file, they will still be present in the DB.

If you truly want to "revert" to a previous version of your schema,
you're gonna need to restore the DB's from a backup, that's the only
way to cleanly do it.

I generated  a page in Word 2007,  It looked great on screen with a Word generated green background.  However, when I print preview same, there was a narrow border around the whole document.  I proceeded to print it thinking it was an illusion on the screen.  However, it wasn't as it also printed with a narrow white border.    I trierd everything possible to remove it but to no avail.  Please help.

typing function compromised while using MS Word - has a mind of its own. Help

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 04:23 PM PST

My Windows 7 service pack installed on my Toshiba laptop crashed the other daay.
Toshiba IT support did some remote repairs uninstalling and reinstalling MS Word.
Since then, the typing function has been kooky. I'll be typing and then all of a sudden
the cursor goes on a trip and deletes sentences, closes pages and basically runs rampant
without any direction by my fingers!
I've defragged, changed settings, called Toshiba IT again, aand the problem still persists.
(Hence, the extra letters in words here and misspellings!).

Running out of suggestions.
Anyone else experience this problem and if so, what solution do you recommend.

Can we set up a table in Word 2010 to use as our data source for merging?

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 03:46 PM PST

If I recall correctly, I use to be able to set up a table in a Word document and use that table as my data source for merging.  Can this still be done or must I use the "Create recipient" list from the "Mailings" tab?

If you can still create your own data source in a Word table, and use that, can someone send me the steps to create then to pull from it to merge into my document please.

Thank you.

How to share mailmerge documents on skydrive

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 02:40 PM PST

I have an Excel club database that I want to put on Skydrive to share between the committee members together with various mailmerge reports. Word mailmerge documents have the original user name hardcoded in the data source path and so presumably cannot be shared on Skydrive without using VBA to amend the data source path. Because the other committee members do not have much computer knowledge I have set up a word document that displays a list of options that they double click on to run a VBA macro for the selected mailmerge. Recording a macro when generating the mailmerge document does not record the filter so I have tried to code the SQL string but keep getting an error message "no data records matched your query options"

    Dim strSql As String
    Dim strPath As String
    strPath = ActiveDocument.Path
    strSql = "SELECT * FROM `Database$` WHERE ""Member_status"" = ""paid"""
    Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdCatalog
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.OpenDataSource Name:=strPath & "\Membership database.xlsm", _
        ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=False, _
        AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _
        WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
        Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, Connection:= _
        "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=" & strPath & "\Membership database.xlsm;Mode=Read;Extended Properties=""HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=37;Jet OLEDB:Da" _
        , SQLStatement:=strSql, SQLStatement1:="", SubType:= _
        wdMergeSubTypeAccess
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="Surname"
    Selection.TypeText Text:=vbTab
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="Known_as"
    Selection.TypeParagraph
    With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
        .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
        .SuppressBlankLines = True
        With .DataSource
            .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
            .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
        End With
        .Execute Pause:=False
    End With

Are there issues/problems placing page number fields inside text boxes in header/footer? (Specifically numpage)

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 11:19 AM PST

Working in Word 2010.... with multi-page read-only, password protected form. 

 

The page number on the first page of the form does not fall in the same location as all remaining headers.  And, here's what I did.

1.  First inserted page and numpage field for 'page of' into a cell on the first page.  For read only document, highlighted each field and selected "Everyone" for exceptions.

2.  When I lock the file down, when testing by adding and deleting pages, the numpage field does not update, When manually updatiing the page number updates.  If I select FILE>Print>Home (for print preview)  the numpage field updates to 4 even though there are more pages in the document.

3.  I tried adding a textbox to the header and inserted the pagenumber fields.  This updates but when saving and re-opening the file, page 1 numpage field reverts to 1, it updates correctly when I print preview.  But everytime I close and re-open the file it reverts to 1 again....

 

What was peculiar ... I copied the fields from the text box and pasted them in the blank section 1 header so there are the fields and the fields in the text box.  When I open and close the document, both open correctly.  When I remove the regular page fields from the header, leaving those in the textbox and re-test, it goes back to defaulting to 1 when re-opened.  Did not have these problems in 2003.... anyone know what's going on?

How To Get Word 2010 To Open On Home Tab

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 10:19 AM PST

I recently installed Office 2010.  When I open Word, it opens on the Insert tab, not the Home tab.  I have seen responses to this question that the ribbon is minimized -- In this case, it is not.  I have the ribbon showing ... Is there another solution?  I should say that Excel does open in the home tab.

Thanks! 

I cannot make the TOC font match Normal

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 08:35 PM PST

For some reason, in just one document (of many), I cannot set the TOC font the same as the Normal font. I've tried deleting and re-creating. I've tried formatting the TOC.

Under Manage Styles, I'm unclear about checking or unchecking "Show recommended styles only."

I have the TOC font set to "Based on Normal."

I'm also unclear about checking or unchecking "Automatic Update."

I hope someone can tell me what I've done wrong and how to correct it.

[The Normal font is Calibri, while the TOC keeps being created and re-created in Times New Roman.]

Why do I need to preceed Hebrew characters with whitespace?

Posted: 08 Nov 2012 11:53 AM PST

New HP desktop
Windows 7 64 bit Professional
Office 2010
I have already installed the Hebrew language support through ControlPanel-Regions and Languages-Text Services and Input Languages and added the Hebrew Keyboard.
I have already enabled Hebrew in Office under Options-Language-Add additional editing language

I can type Hebrew letters after using alt-lshift to change the keyboard.  However, no letter is typed unless I precede it with a whitespace.  That seems to 'activate' the Hebrew keyboard, and Hebrew letters will appear as typed.
If I move the cursor to a previous typed area, I cannot insert new Hebrew text until, again, I type a whitespace character.
If I come back to the document after moving to a different window, same thing.

When creating additional Quick Keys in Word 2010, what is the best and quickest way to find out what Quick Keys are available (i.e. not already in use)?

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 07:34 AM PST

I have found various lists of existing Quick Keys in Word 2010 on the Web but not are complete.

 

I've attempted to use the Quick Key creation screen to navigate through existing keys but this is incredibly time consuming as you must go through every single command to see which ones have a quick key assisnged and what it is.

 

Is there another way to list existing Quick Keys?

In Word 2010 Mail Merge, is there a way to keep the merge field window open in order to select and insert the fields throughout the document.

Posted: 07 Nov 2012 07:27 AM PST

When creating the merge document, in order to insert the various merge field from the data source, the window or menu list do not stay open so you are constantly having to reopen that list or window for each field you want to insert.  Sometimes I get a window that does stay open, however the window will not allow you to navigate the document to select another location before inserting another field.
