Microsoft Word - Adding Default Colors


Adding Default Colors

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:45 PM PDT

In Font there are options for the font color with options for Theme Colors, Standard Colors, Recently Used Colors, and More Colors.  In order to get to our company's standard color (Dark Green), I have to navigate to the color picker and select it.  It's then there under Recently Used Colors but when I open a new document it doesn't stay there.  Is there a way to set our most used colors (which aren't a part of the Standard or Theme Color choices) as the default colors either in Theme Colors or Standard Colors?

ms word 2010 footnote numbering won't continue after section break

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 01:04 AM PDT

In Word 2010 I have a chapter (each chapter is a new section) which has a section break in it for a table that has to change page orientation (from portrait to landscape) - so the rest of the section (and thesis) is in portrait. Each chapter has footnotes that restart from 1 for each chapter. In this particular chapter footnotes 1-84 are OK then the landscape table occurs and then the chapter continues in portrait but I cannot get the footnotes to continue at 85. Word takes the absolute no. of the footnote (#892)! I have tried continuous & new page section breaks, forcing footnotes to start from 85 but all to no avail.

What is the trick/work around? Or what am I doing wrong?

Recently upgraded to Word 2013. Can't get it to print two A5 pages onto an A4 sheet

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 09:20 AM PDT

I often set up documents on A5 then want to print them as booklets, or at least side by side on A4 paper. When I try to select paper size within the Word 2013 print options, this changes the format of the document, not the selected paper in the printer. The same happens when I try to change the paper size within the printers own options menu. Just selecting number of sheets per page doesn't do the trick either as it assumes then that the paper is A5 size and prints two A6 versions in the corner of my A4 paper.

 

The old version of Word (2007) had no problems with this. What has happened?

How to fix error message from FilesaveAs macro? filesaveas macro gives error message of "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 12:26 PM PDT

I copied a macro from Allen Wyatt's WordTips site (http://wordribbon.tips.net/T011619_Setting_a_Document_Naming_Convention.html) to cause "Save As" to always insert the date into the file name.  It worked for a while and, recently, it has not.  Instead, it generates an error message of: 

"Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" and the word "Format" in the macro code is blue-highlighted in the VBA Editor. 

Here's the macro:

Public Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dim dlgSave As Dialog

    Set dlgSave = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)

    With dlgSave
        .Name = Format(Date, "yyyy_mm_dd ")
        .Show
    End With
End Sub

(The blue-highlighted is in the 4th line from the bottom.) 

The fact that the macro worked for a while makes me think that I must have done something else that somehow affected this.  But I don't know what that could have been. 

Any suggestions?

[discuss] Multi-Sheets in OpenOffice Writer?

Posted: 25 Feb 2007 04:28 PM PST

>firstly there is already a notes system in openoffice and MS 

I'm not the OP, but I'm another person who'd like this kind of feature. Insert Notes works fine for little notes, especially about specific points in the document, but it's not what we want. It doesn't help with managing a writing project. I think what the OP and I both want is some way to associate a second document with the main document and have it open whenever the main document is opened. There are ways to work around the need, such as using a master doc to manage the project with associated project docs (outlines, notes, planning docs, to-dos, etc.) as subdocs, but that's not as convenient as something like a second sheet or some other way of associating documents might be. Especially in a muti-chapter project where I already have a master document.

I work in both Linux and Windows. In Windows, there's a little freeware app called Stickies that gives me part of what I'm looking for. Unlike other sticky note apps, Stickies lets me attach notes to documents so they open automatically with the document. I can keep notes or links to more detailed notes on a sticky that comes up with the document. I find it useful, but limited, and not nearly as elegant as a solution within OOo would be. I haven't found anything quite like it in Linux. The downside, of course, is the notes are only there on one machine, instead of being a part of the document, available wherever I work.

When I was experimenting with different word processing apps (which led me to OOo), I tried a program called RoughDraft. At least I think that's the one, anyway. It has a notepad pane in its UI, where you keep your project notes handy. I liked that, but didn't much care for the program itself.

[discuss] Save a copy for OOo?

Posted: 23 Feb 2007 02:46 PM PST

Sorry andrew but that's not what he means

A "save a copy" is where the file gets saved but then it doesn't
switch to that file as the file being 'edited' so for example you
could be editing foobar.odt and save a copy as foobar.doc to test how
well it opens in MS word

but since you 'saved a copy' rather than just saved you can open the
file without it being locked, and whenever you save the file again
it'll still save it to foobar.odt

Abiword has this. As does a lot of other open source apps. OpenOffice
seems not to have bothered just because MS hasn't bothered, even
though it's probably simple to implement.

Builds for en-GB language packs are still built and can be found on one
of our extended mirrors for 2.1.0rc2 and 2.2.0rc1.

These are release candidates. If you're interested into doing QA for
these builds then you're invited to help. If you need help then please
subscribe to dev@l10n and/or to There you'll find several people

I know how to alter spacing for  typing text, but if I use 'enter'  to get to a new line the spacing is different and I can't get to make it the same as the text spacing.

ONE NOTE
Apparently spontaneously, when I go to 'print' via File or using a short cut I get a submenu highlighting  'send to Onenote' rather than going directly to  the printer as previously.   How can I make the printer the default in this submenu please?

Read-only filesystem

"Juerg Schwarz" <ch> writes:
 

Bad idea.
 

This is most likely NOT your /etc/fstab file that should contain
the entries for your filesystems. If you bootup the system in
"rescue" mode, then you start the system from CDROM; therefor, /etc
is located on the filesystem booted / copied from the CDROM and
doesn't point to your valid /etc/fstab file. Mount the filesystem
manually to /mnt, then proceed to checking your filesystems
(use "df" to see what is actually mounted).
 
 
 

Your root filesystem may be damaged; either use a current working backup
to restore your filesystem, or prepare for a reinstallation. Without
any details at hand about your hardware, it's a bit hard to tell what to do
next; typically, you'd first check for any kind of HW failure using "smartctl"
or similar tools, depending from your local setup.

"English" is not close enough ‹ there are 29 flavours of English. If you
