sectionpage field

Posted: 22 Mar 2013 02:55 AM PDT

I'm compiling a document with several sections and I'm using Sectionpages field to number the total number of pages in each section.
I'm using Office 2010 Pro.
I now have to insert a landscape page into the middle of one of the sections and i want the sectionpage total to carry on but there isn't a "continue from last section" facility for sectionpages that i can find.
Is there another way or am i going to have to insert this diagram into a portait page by somehow rotating it through 90 degrees?

Updating Hyperlinks to Headings That Get Moved

Posted: 21 Mar 2013 12:15 PM PDT

I've created hyperlinks to other places within the same long document, typically headings. This was great until I started using the lovely feature of being able to move blocks of text around by moving headings in the Navigation Pane. The hyperlinks don't follow their headings! I am discovering this just as I am finishing a document that is hundreds of pages long, with dozens of hyperlinks. I might be willing to check and reset all those links one more time, but what if the document gets edited later?

How do I move autocorrect entries from Word 2003 (Windows XP) to Word 2010 (Windows 7)?

make default view outline in word document

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 11:08 AM PDT

Word 2003 symbol search

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 10:27 AM PDT

There is a symbol that I cannot copy and paste but it shows up when I use the Show/Hide option (Control_Shift_8).  Here's the image circled:

http://blogs.mccombs.utexas.edu/the-most/files/2011/04/show-hide-button-in-word.jpg

I copy and paste my Word document, saved as a HTML file, to my webpage.  I realize thats not ideal but its been working fine for years.  Anyway, its important for me to remember to always use the Shift_Enter combo instead of just Enter when moving down a line otherwise there is an extra blank line inserted on the website though it doesn't show in Word.  Sometimes I forget so I'm constantly checking the document for those symbols.  But it would be great to be able to search for that symbol using the Find command.  It doesn't work presently because I can't copy and paste that symbol into the Find search box otherwise it would be easy.

I'm wondering if there is another way of quickly identifying all those symbols in the document.

Office 2013 keeps crashes when I work with more than one document

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 10:15 AM PDT

I've always used Office in its many different versions and generally found it very stable.
However, ever since I installed Office 2013 & saved documents to SkyDrive it has been incredibly unstable.
Problem is normally when I want to open another document either via file explorer or from Word itself. I experience repeated crashes. It can be stable but increasingly rarely.

My productivity has taken a 20% nosedive as a result of me upgrading.
All advice very gratefully received/

I am running Office 2013 Home Premium & Windows 8 Home Premium

Many thanks to anyone that can give me some support here.

Any help would be appreciated as I work in Office Word almost all day and the constant little ding sounds are driving me crazy.

I just want to be able to USE my OLD LAPTOP word 97 and 2003 files, NEED HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS new laptop has windows 8...want EASIEST and LEAST EXPENSIVE APPS.

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 09:19 AM PDT

I had to purchase a new laptop and they gave me Windows 8, so now my programs from old laptop don't work....I got some devices to update.  Now I need assistance to MAKE A DECISION about the EASIEST and yet LEAST EXPENSIVE OFFICE APP to try or purchase.

 

I am retired and no longer need all the new aps available, I do mostly correspondence but want to USE my OLD WORD DOCS of 97 and 2003 and DRAFT NEW ONES....and have ACCESS to my Old and New Databases. 

 

I need someone who can suggest what to try next.  I did try the OFFICE 365 home premium for 30 days, and liked it, but then found out there was a MONTHLY FEE.  Don't need that in these retirement years.

 

So is Office 2013 about the same and yet no fees, and is it easy and is there a trial version.  HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS please.

 

 

word 2010 does not retain default shape formatting

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 09:10 AM PDT

In Word 2010, I 

  • open a new document
  • draw a rectangle by choosing Insert > Shapes.   
  •  I use the shortcut toolbar to change the fill to white and the border to black.   
  • Then right-click the shape and choose Set As Default Shape.   
  • Save the document.
  • Exit Word
  • Start Word
  • In the blank document, draw a rectangle using Insert > Shapes.    The shape has a yellow fill and a green border. 
Why isn't my default formatting being retained?   Default would suggest that they are saved to the normal template, not just the current document.

Mail Merge prints 0 for Canadian Postcode

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 05:59 AM PDT

I use MailMerge in Word to create e-mail messages. My data source is an Excel worksheet and contains both US and Canadian customers. One column contains Post Codes, which are either 5-digit Zip codes or 6-character Canadian post codes (like LNL NLN) (L=letter, N=number). The column is formatted Special>Zip Code.

When I run MailMerge the <<Zip>> field reports US Zip Codes correctly, but it produces a '0' for the Canadian Post Codes. I want to correct this problem.

I have tried formatting the Zip column in Excel as Text, but I lose the leading zero in some US Zip Codes. I get the same result if I format as Number with zero decimal places.

What is the fix?

(Btw, I am posting this as a Word issue, but it certainly could be an Excel issue.)

Thanks.

Where does a header come from when inserting a "Text from File" object?

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 11:06 PM PDT

I have a Word document that was last saved in Word 2010 but was created something like 7-8 years ago and it is all formatted correctly with correct details in the headers and footers. (Document is saved as a Word97-2003 version)

When I insert another Word document (Word97-2003) object into this one I get a new header where the data is at least 8 years old but is not visible in either of the two original documents.

These are the steps I follow:

1. Open Document 1 which has correct headers and footers

2. Go to the last page and "page Layout">"Breaks">"Next Page - Section Break"

3. Insert the new document which has current, correct details in the header and footer by clicking on: "insert">"Object">"Text from File"> select Word document to be inserted.

4. The additional document is inserted as required...BUT

The header on the first page of the inserted document has details from about 8 years ago that are not visible in the original document. The following pages show the correct details.

Can anyone tell me where the document could be picking up this information?

Thanks

How do I make the autotext appear automatically on every page of a word document version 2003?

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 07:41 PM PDT

I would like the autotext to appear in the upper left-hand corner, on every page automatically, just as you can make the numbering of pages appear automatically throughout a document on the upper right-hand corner with only one click. My version of word is 2003. 

Word Startup or Global Template on Network

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 12:19 PM PDT

I'm not sure whether this is a Word issue or a Microsoft Office issue, so I apologize if I'm posting to the wrong area. 

 

Our IT department is wanting to take all updating of user apps to a server location, and so far it's working, but.....

 

What about the case of a gobal template that is placed in the users Word startup location?  Can you put a pointer somewhere to a server location for a global template? 

 

They do not want to bother with updating over 200 users at a time, which does make sense, but my understanding of Word and templates tells me we might not be able to do that.

 

Anybody have any information one way or the other on this?

 

Thanks.

simple mail merge not so simple

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 08:10 AM PDT

I am trying to setup a mailing label mail merge using an Excel spreadsheet with Word 2010 with the standard name, address, city state and zipcode.  Both the name and address fields on the spreadsheet could have multiple lines.

Ie. 
John Smith
MyCompany, Inc.

222 Old Town Road
Suite 101

What is happening is on these fields with multiple lines, the gap between these lines are longer compared to the ones I put on separate lines.
---------
John Smith

MyCompany, Inc.
222 Old Town Road

Suite 101
mycity, ST, myzipcode
-------------
I tried changing the spreadsheet to only use linefeed characters instead of CRLF but that still didn't work.  Please advise on how I can fix this either in Word or Excel, thanks.

How to create custom Office templates

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 08:37 AM PDT

Greetings Microsoft Community,

Newbie here. I'm currently a project lead for the Office 2013 rollout at my credit union, and our CIO has requested that we post guides on how to create custom Office templates.

Now I've done my fair share of Google searches, and all I've been able to glean so far is where to store the custom templates in 2013 -- I can find nothing about how they're created in the first place.

Could someone please point me toward any tutorials that might be out there? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Word 2010 Table of Contents question

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 09:46 PM PDT

Hi, my document is made up of a number of different heading styles, which I have saved in the quick styles, eg HR heading1, HR heading 2 etc. However, when I try to do a TOC showing four levels, it will not show the items in HR heading1. It will show the next three levels. However, what it does show is Microsoft's default Heading1 instead of my own HR Heading1. Is there a way I can do a TOC using just my own four levels of headings?  Many thanks.

Word 2013 Adding Envelopes to an Existing Document

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 08:29 PM PDT

I currently am trying to make a document that will make an envelope using mail merge. The problem is, I HAVE to have it be in the same document as the letter I have typed up. Currently when I'm trying to make an envelope and use current document, it deletes my letter and starts over. That is the only option.

If you're confused, let me clarify.

Page 1 is the letter, I'm using Mail Merge for it and I have a Greeting Line with my addresses attached to it. I want Page 2 to then be an envelope that contains the Mail Merge data including an Address Block using Mail Merge. 

How do you do this? I'm lost!

Word 2010 applying watermarks across sections

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 08:25 PM PDT

Hi, I have a document with many sections. I am trying to insert the Draft watermark but as I add it to one section, it gets removed from a previous section. I have tried selecting the whole document before inserting the watermark, but it still only puts Draft into the first section. Urgent please!  Many thanks.

Unwanted white space below footer in Word

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 03:18 PM PDT

I have a long picture (a logo) as a footer in a Word document. On the screen it looks perfectly aligned, but when I print it out there's a large white space underneath it which does not exist on the print preview. It prints as though the picture is positioned above the footer, rather than in it (but it definitely is in it - I've triple-checked).

Help!

A question about 'letterheads'

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 02:53 PM PDT

I want to convert my letterhead from having Name, Address, et al, at the top of the page to having it running up the side of the page.

 

Using a text box is not the answer - but you likely have already learned this!

 

How do I set Word so that it gives me a 'header' along the left side of a page ... or is this even the correct way to go?

 

Regards,

 

Ken

 

 

Finish and Merge to multiple documents

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 12:08 PM PDT

I have been working in an Access DB and successfully created a document (letter) in word 2007 with the combined data from that source. When i hit the button "Finish and Merge" i have the option to "Edit Individual Documents", but all i get is a single document with all the letters in it (one page per record), and i was looking for a way to generate 1 letter (file) for each record avaliable in my Access Database.

How can i accomplish this?

Data source won't stay alphabetized

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 11:52 AM PDT

I alphabetize the data source when editing, but when I go to merge the source and document, it scrambles some of the data so there's a chunk of names randomly listed at the end of the document.  I've tried refreshing, saving and reopening, and nothing seems to help.  It's the same names scrambled.  VERY FRUSTRATING!

Create a set of custom Heading styles without deriving them from built-in styles

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 06:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I have created some Custom Heading styles in a new document that I would also like to apply to another existing document and possibly multiple others. I am trying to produce some styles that need to be used in old documents, which have been written by different authors, with different tastes and MS Word competence levels, and the new styles need to be indentical in each document.

My Custom Heading 1,2,3,X styles are all derived from (based on) the built-in Heading 1,2,3,X styles. This is because I have to use both in the documents and they need to be included at the same level in the Navigation Pane and in the Contents table.

The problem that I am having is that the built-in Heading 1,2,3,X styles are styled differently from document to document, with different fonts, sizes and so on. This means that when I copy some text with the Custom Headings over to an existing document, the Custom Headings' appearance is not consistent accross both documents.

For example (and you can try this):

Document 1

  • Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Bold, 'Blue, Accent 1 Darker 25%'
  • Custom Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Not Bold, 'Blue, Accent 1 Darker 25%'

Document 2


  • Heading 1 - Verdana, 24, Bold, Underlined, Black

If I copy some text styled with Custom Heading 1 over to Document 2, it produces the following for Custom Heading 1:


  • Custom Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Not Bold, Underlined, Black

So the 'Cambria', '14', and 'not bold' are carried over from Document 1 whereas 'underlined' and 'black' is inherited from Document 2's Heading 1 style.


Given that I want to apply the style without having to modify it, and I can't modify the existing styles, is there a way of creating a Heading style, that will appear in the Navigation Pane and in the Contents that does not inherit from existing built-in Heading styles? What makes a Heading style, a Heading style?


Regards,


Ricky


When I try to save a document in Word 2007, it gives me the following error message, "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working"

When I try to save a document in Word 2007, it gives me the following error message, "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working" and it will not allow me to save the file.  If I hit the "save as" button quickly, it will let me save a copy, but if I wait a couple of seconds, it gives me the error message.  I have deleted and reinstalled the MicroSoft Office software, checked my add ins and fonts and still no solution.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Word pastes plain text as a bitmap

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 04:55 AM PDT

MS Word 2010 in Office 2010 Professional

 

When pasting text within and between documents, the text is sometimes pasted normally but sometimes appears as a black rectangle.

 

Investigating further using paste special, when the black rectangle appears the copied text can only be pasted as bitmap or device independent bitmap, whereas when pasting works normally there are further options (unformatted text, formatted text, HTML etc)

 

The fault is nothing to do with the source text. If the same block of text is copied and pasted, the fault sometimes occurs and sometimes does not.

 

If the fault occurs when pasting with the mouse, immediately using Control+V pastes normally. Similarly, if the fault occurs with Control+V then clicking paste with the mouse results in normal pasting activity.

 

So it seems the source text is copied into memory properly, then there is a random decision to treat it as text or as a bitmap, and if it is treated as a bitmap then pasting again immediately afterwards allows it to be pasted as text.

 

The paste default options have been tinkered with to no avail, the Adobe Acrobat plug-in has been disabled to no avail.

 

Any ideas?

what is the problem and why does this keep happen?

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 04:19 AM PDT

We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.  Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now? And when I click repair now it does not repair anything  so therefor I am still having the problem.
 
Thank you
