Microsoft Word - Shortcut keys disappearing when copying a style to another computer

Microsoft Word - Shortcut keys disappearing when copying a style to another computer

Shortcut keys disappearing when copying a style to another computer

Posted: 19 Apr 2013 07:12 AM PDT

Hey all

I'm trying to copy some styles from one computer to another so that when they're pasted into a new document (using INCLUDETEXT), that document will then have those styles.  I can manage to do that, but, unfortunately, I lose all the shortcut keys that I assigned to the various styles.  

I saw that someone had a similar problem and they were told to save the document with the styles in it as a custom template.  I've saved the document with the styles as a docm inside my Microsoft Templates folder, where the original Normal.dotm is saved, but the shortcut keys still aren't coming across when I bring the styles into a new document.

On my original computer where I created the styles, I can copy them over to a pre-existing document and the shortcut keys come along too, so this is really confusing me!

Any help appreciated!!!

How do I elliminate line wrapping in a Word 2003 document

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 06:51 PM PDT

I copied an article from the Federal Register which is in columns.  I pasted it into my Word document but I don't know how to eliminate the line wrapping.

using Word 2010 somehow the Word Start along with two split Word Start are stuck on the bottom of the screen (tool bar?) I can't get into any of my documents! Help!

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 05:07 PM PDT

I was working with Microsoft Word 2010 and it was working fine.  I have had one non-document - it is a Word "document" that will not close unless I hit the mimimize button, but I can still use the entire Word Program.  Today my husband asked me to type something; I saved it and when I went back to show him, somehow the Word Start (Bright yellow) starting screen is "STUCK" at the bottom of my screen in the "tool Bar" along with a split screen of Word Start documents - one with no word count - one with 453 word count.  I cannot get these three to close;  trying everything I know - the close button "X" - the "cancel" button, tried various menus to move, to unpin, to minimize, etc. etc.  Nothing worked.  So I still cannot get into the Word program to show him what I typed (I can go to computer and open up what is there to see the various documents, but cannot get any to open).  So frustrating - appreciate anyone immensely who can help me with this problem.  Don't know what else to try.  I even called the place I bought the computer and left a message and an email asking for help.  HELP!  THanks.

macro runs on whole document instead of selection - help?

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 06:36 AM PDT

Hi
When I copy single columns from PDF and paste into Word, I get weird formatting (sentences run for half a line and continue on next line). I have come accross a tip that in Word you can select such weird text and replace '^p' with '^s'. This works very well so I thought I'd create a macro.  
I have recorded a macro (starting with selecting text) but when I use it Word applies it to the whole document rather than to selected text. I would appreciate any helpful suggestions how to sort it out.

the macro is as follows:

Sub Replace()
'
' Replace Macro
'
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "^p"
        .Replacement.Text = "^s "
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindAsk
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub

You don't reinstall the entire computer. You just insert the Office 2003

Office 2003 SP1 setup error

AN update on my issue: Last week I had a hard drive failure. My slave drive
was where I kept all of my Office Cache. Apparently, this was the cause of
my install failures for SP1. I had to load the original Office CD, go to
Run>Setup.exe (on the disc) and hit OK. This brought up a repair program
that asked if I wanted to repair or reinstall. I hit reinstall and let it
run. That got me a little further towards SP1 install. Next time I tried to
install SP1 it asked me to load my CD so that it could access SKU111.CAB.
When it got that file, the loading of SP1 and the Outlook update went
perfectly.

However, Visio, which was on the failed drive as well will now not load even
from it's disc. Grrrr...I uninstalled it from the Add/Remove programs, but
it just won't return.

Adobe Reader tries to repeat install MOS 2003 and crashes

Posted: 22 Jul 2004 01:12 PM PDT

Mary--

As usual if I can get you to respond on the setup errors that keep on comin'
with Office 2003 or any other app I learn and have good luck. I have seen
the MSFT Event Viewer web casts and that KB and read Event Viewer Help.
Unfortunately, ayk, MSFT has chosen to be at a primitive stage in conveying
error help particularly with respect to Office. Often the KBs on setup
errors are ridiculously sparse or narrowly pointed at a special set of
circumstances. The OCA website does nothing except to take up cyberspace
now although there are plans possibly around the time of Longhorn OS and
Longhorn server to make it useful that get mentioned at meetings.

I was referring to the fact that a high percent of error messages in Event
Viewer are written in HEX which either Power Users or supermarket checkout
line companions can't use, or Hungarian notation or a language not meant for
the average Office or Windows user and I'm not sure every code head would
have tools to deal with the Hex.

I also think MSFT has a real failure in their Beta testing and bug vetting
of Office setup errors and whoever is the Office setup team for service
packs and Office in general needs to rethink every piece of code they write.
Look at the multiple problems all over since yesterday of people trying to
get in MOS 03 SP1. They should pull it until they fix the systemic bugs in
that setup--they are wasting a lot of people's time. Of course many people
are going to reach for Office SP! and they are in for a bumpy ride full of
setup errors of all shapes and sizes.

That said, you helped me. I'm not sure why all of a sudden many of my
installs have to have the Source Engine on and running because it doesn't
default to on on many of my boxes, so you have to check to make sure it's on
for some but not all Office hotfix installs to be successul.

I uninstalled Adobe 6, whose plugins I had trimmed greatly since I wasn't
going to use almost all of them and reinstalled it and also got the Updates
once I could find the folders because Adobe has learned from Redmond part of
the fun with software is to make a little Raiders of the Lost Ark game out
of finding the folders and files you have installed to make the Reader
updates run.

One of the cute little tricks Adobe has with respect to the Reader--I don't
think it happens in Adobe Acrobat or many other illustration apps like
Photoshop, ect. is to put a big 6.0 when it loads making you think you
didn't update, until you read the fine print and realize you have. Finding
updates for Reader on their site is also on the byzantine end of the
spectrum. Could I make what I just criticized easier??? Anyone could in a
NY heartbeat.

I plan to trim the plug-ins 90% with the plug-in trimmer I have for Adobe
when I get a chance.

Thanks for always being willing to help an being an excellent source of
useful KBs--and for the KB on the Office source engine. That situation
probably occurs not infrequently. I wish there were a way to know when it
had to be on so I guess the answer there is to let it start automatically.
I like to keep every service off I can to protect CPU--if I don't have
Outlook open, then I shut off the two out of three services ass. with BCM
(SQL) that are needed for BCM to open only and nothing else but show up as
processes at the trough in TM.

Best,

Chad Harris

White Text On Black

Posted: 15 Oct 2007 10:53 PM PDT

Bob says::

"...reconsider the last point of your post. All this would
accomplish is a reversal of the "problem" areas, so what started out
as
black on white would then become white on black. How is Word supposed
to
know _which_ content should be reversed & which *shouldn't*? And what
about
the colors which appear to be white but may actually be several shades
off
from 255? Or a color such as very dark blue? What's a word processor
supposed to do with them?"

I guess you're referring to my second point (the "mixed" pixel and
text one). If I understand it, you're correct. Of course interspersed
images (pixels) themselves within the flow of text would not have to
be inverted. No need to touch these images themselves at all. And I
see your point: surrounding these images on the margins and in spaces
above and below would be that nasty black stuff. How would Word, in a
sense, be able to "separate" each image per se (untouchable) from its
surrounding black crud (touchable)? That's, I guess, one of those
can't-do technical matters I suspected would be there.

Clive's suggestion, with some nice refinements, adds to what I've been
doing when "mixed" web pages occur whether the "black page" problem
arises or not.

My first scenario, though, the one with pure text, would be another
matter.

Do you apply the same standards to everything?

Should a car dealer not be able to discount the price of a 2007 car when
the 2008 models come out, just because some customers bought a 2007 car

Should grocery stores be prevented from having 2 for 1 sales, just
because some customers paid full price the day before?

And, ultimately, shouldn't MS be able to give away free copies of Office

As you said, it's just my opinion, but I suspect that it's more commonly

I'm trying to create award certificates for students who participate in student activities, like a science fair. The certificates are designed 2-up on a letter-size page. There are hundreds of certificates to produce, so I'm thinking mail merge is the way to go. Is there a template I can access, or a way I can set this up to use the mail merge feature in Word? Each certificate will include the student's name on one line, and the activity they parcipated in on the next line.

Word 2013 - Prompted every time to 'select program' to open new, docx files

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Using Windows 7 and Office 2013, I'm creating and saving brand new Word files as docx.  When I go back to a file and double click it, I'm asked EVERY TIME "what program do I want to use to open the file" with the selections of searching the web or using a program installed on my computer.  I chose Word every time, and continue to re-save as docx and try again with the same issue. 

And there are no Word logos next to my new docx file names either in the folder--just blank squares.  Whereas Excel and PPT files have the logos, I double click them, the files open up right away--I'm not asked to 'select a program' to open the file.

Please help, thanks!

editing the details pane information

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 06:01 AM PDT

How can I show "Last Saved By" in the details pane Word 2010. I know I can go into properties and see the info there, but it would be easier to view it in the details pane.

How can I make Word 2013 open in Draft View by default?

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 09:27 PM PDT

I use Word 2013 on a 14" laptop and the default view, Print Layout, is a colossal waste of space, but I can't get the program to open in Draft View by default. Have done the following:
  • Changed settings to "allow documents to open in Draft View"
  • Saved documents in Draft View...they re-open in Print Layout
  • Tried to change New Document template to Draft View but new documents still only open in Print Layout.

I hope that the answer is not "you have to change to draft view every single time you open a document." There are already a lot more clicks / action in Word 2013 than in previous versions.


Have searched forums but there doesn't seem to be an answer for this in Word 2013.

Thanks for your assistance.

mergefield for date format not working after a computer upgrade

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 08:10 AM PDT

I recently had a computer upgrade, Prior to the upgrade when I used the mergefield format for a date field I could use {MERGEFIELD REQUEST_DATE \ @ "MMMM d, yyyy" } and it would show properly as January 1, 2013, now it will only show 01/01/2013.  Not sure what could have changed in the upgrade, I'm still using the same Word 2010 software.  Any suggestions on what I might need to do to get back to the proper formating of my dates?

How to save word file as normal .doc without '_files'.

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:05 AM PDT

We've just had a new computer set up in the office with Windows 7 and running MS Office 2007.

We have a web form for staff to fill in which then saves as a word (.doc) on the shared network drive. We then usually open these in Word, edit them, save them back as a .doc file then email them to head office.

Since having the new computer though, when we try and save the file after editing them, Word seems to create a folder with the same name as the folder but with '_files' at the end which contains 3 files.

We've tried using 'Save As' but then you seem to get stuck in a loop and it keeps asking where you want to save all the time.

When we had Windows XP we never had this issue so it was a case of editing them then either save or close Word and saving on exit and all was fine.


Thanks :)

Hi Rob,

Sure any file can contain a toolbar... but I never succeeded in SHOWING one
that isn't present in the Global as well

Task Duration

Posted: 30 Jun 2004 07:02 PM PDT

Rob,

You are correct. Project tracks time to the minute and it
is certainly configurable (limited) via the Tools/Options
tab into hours etc. It becomes more of a problem during
levelling or resolving resource over allocations. A
problem that could be (easily?) resolved if during
levelling it was possible to force project, via a
preference setting, to adjust the duration to the nearest
15 minutes. The transport from Project into the external
accounting system is a manual process at present. The
significance is having project and the accounting systems
balance. Have tried the creation of durations in a
spreadsheet and copy/paste into project....but once
levelling etc is done I get the same result.
What I do is after I finalise a baselined project, then
manually adjust the duration allocation via the Task Usage
for each resource - okay for small projects but an
absolute nightmare for large projects. Even more so when
updating the plan with actuals.
The only other thought I have been "entertaining" is to
write a VB script to do this.....but I would prefer not.

 
recall. It's 
Tools/Options, Schedule tab 
units, and use 
the data out,

hiding columns

Posted: 30 Jun 2004 12:23 PM PDT

Right mouse click on the column header to see "hide" column. As you do
that, notice just above that menu is the "insert" column command. You
can find this in Help by asking the "answer wizard" that question.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

upgrade to 2003

Hi Joe,

If you are using the Standard version of 2000, upgrading to 2003 Standard is
simple :) If you're talking about the Professional version and integrating
with servers - that's a real task - in which case, try posting on the server
newsgroup. (Please see FAQ Item: 24. Project Newsgroups.)
