Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer

Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer

Inserting Page Number in Footer

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Ok - this used to easy but Microsoft has now made it difficult.

I want to insert page numbers in the footer.  I like the "Page 1 of 3" page numbering. 

In the good ole days of earlier versions, you just started typing "Page 1 of" and word would complete the page numbering. 

In Word 2010 is doesn't work anymore. 

OK - so now I go into "Insert" then "Header & Footer" then "Page Number".  I scroll down and there I find my favorite "Page 1 of 3" page numbering.  Success Right?  No.  When I insert the page numbering all of the rest of the footer text disappears!  Cute huh?  Who dreamed that up?

Ok - so now I have a solution.   I insert the Page number in the footer (which causes the text in the footer to disappear).  I then copy the Page number, then click on "Go Back" which reinserts the deleted text.  I then past the page number back into the footer. 

I can't believe Microsoft would have created such an inefficient method of inserting page numbers.  There must be an easier way.

How do I insert page numbers into the Footer without deleting the text?

insert an autonumber in a paragraph

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 03:41 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Word 2010

 I am trying to insert an autonumber into a paragraph by using a Field (starting at 1).  I chose Quick Parts / ListNum / (none) and start at value = 1

The problem is the number displays as 1.1 instead of [1].  I have tried new multi level list to redefine the display (via Shuan Kelly site) but a black square bullet point appears?


Can someone help please as I stuck with this?

 

Thanks 

pop up window to register a word doc on own PC

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 01:59 AM PDT

Every time I open any and every word doc a window pops up to say 'This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from this document to other documents'. It's really annoying - I have to click them closed and then I can continue OK. This has begun since I used msconfig to tidy up services and other stuff to ensure quick start-up. I've done that before with no probs and I didn't tinker with the registry or office suite.

I think you can  type in one doc and it will simultaneously appear in another but that's a feature i never use.

Mystified I am!

Many thanks for any help.

create .pdf file in 2010 Office

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 06:28 PM PDT

I am trying to create a .pdf file for a Word 2010 .docx document.  When I SAVE AS from the .docx, it saves as a .pdf, but then I can't open the .pdf unless I have Adobe software.  In fact, I DO have Adobe Acrobat X Standard (which I purchased within the last couple of years).  But when I try to open the .pdf file I "SAVE AS"ed, I get an Adobe window that basically says my serial number from Adobe Acrobat X Standard is valid, but I need to purchase "Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard Windows" in order to open the .pdf file I created.

 

I don't understand what Adobe is doing except possibly a cash grab, but I thought there was a way to just save a Word 2010 document as a .pdf and have it open.

 

I'm very confused.  I'm really hoping someone can help me out.

 

Thanks.

How do I kill a print job on a PC?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:49 PM PDT

This easy on my MacBook, but can't for the life figure out how to do this simple task of killing a Word print job on my PC.

I have a Brother HL 2270 Laser Printer which is great, but does not have any place on the printer to kill the job.

When printing on my MacBook, a printer dialogue box opens up, I click on the "X" and poof!  The print job stops - Easy!

When printing from my PC, there is no dialogue box and I can't find anyplace else to kill the job, either from within Work, or outside work.

Help me stop burning up expensive paper and Toner Cartridge ink!

Word completes 'includ' with 'include' with no warning or request, so typing 'included' becomes 'includeed'

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 12:00 PM PDT

I just installed Word 2013 and I often type the word 'included' in bid forms.  However, Word automatically adds the 'e' once I've typed 'includ' and as I continue typing I add an 'e' for the 'ed' part of the word but Word has already included it for me.

 

This is the only word I've found it act this way for.  What's up?  I don't want to randomly have Word type for me without notice.

Where do we change the autocorrect Replace as you type settings in Word 2010?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 11:19 AM PDT

We have a macro in Wordd 2002 that replaces all smart quotes with straight quotes to prep Word documents so they convert correctly when we create our mainframe files. We need to find the screen in Word 2010 where we change the "Replace as you type" options if there is such a thing.  We will be running Word 2010 on either an XP or Windows 7 pc.  In our version of Word these settings are on the Autocorrect - Replace as you type tab. For example, we uncheck "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" because the smart quotes don't convert properly.

 

Thanks for the help!!

A question about Sections (Word 2010)

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 10:52 AM PDT

 My document has three levels of organization, of which the top two are of concern here. I want the top level, 1, to have endnotes numbered in one continuous sequence, to simplify finding the right endnote. Each level 1 part has several level 2 parts within it. Each level 2 part should have a separate page header so the reader will know where he/she is down to level 2. To accommodate the first requirement, I give each level 1 its own Word Section. To accommodate the second requirement, each level 2 part must have its own Word Section. It seems that these needs are incompatible. Is there any way around this?

I have thought of modifying the endnotes to look like this: (D is the level 1 part and 3 is the level 2 part within D.)
D3, 27 Smith, Joe. Why We Love Dogs, p. 66. The 27 is what the endnote logic put in and the D3 is put in manually for each endnote in part D3.

This would not be difficult with macros but maybe there is a better way.

populate changing text

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 08:24 AM PDT

I think this is a pretty tough one.....

 

I have a form that has some checkboxes there is a block of text that will populate for each checkbox that is checked. I need to insert this text at a specific point in the document. Here's the tricky part though.... I need the text to change depending on answers in previous formfields

 

The issues discovered were (TextFormField1). They were discovered on (FormField2) at (FormField3)..... Etc.

 

Is there a way to get the text to change based on an answer in a previous form field?

Calculating both ends of a project

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:58 PM PDT

Hi Deluth,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Reading between you lines, I get the impression that you are typing in the
dates for your tasks. Doing this will create constraints that are causing
the problems you see. Try View/Table: Entry/More Tables.../ and select
Constraint Dates. Reset all the Constraints to As Soon As Possible to
remove the Constraints (Change the top one and Fill Down). Project is
designed to work by scheduling from the Project Start Date (set in
Project/Project Information). So, for each task, enter the Duration and
then the Precedence logic links. Project will then calculate the Start and
Finish Dates for you.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

How to prevent splits

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:48 PM PDT


Deluth,
Take a look at Tools/Options/Schedule tab. There is an option in the
lower portion of the schedule options window for "split in-progress
tasks". The default is a check for this option. Depending on which
version of Project you have, select the help topic to get an explanation
of what "split in-progress tasks" means. I think you will find that some
of your tasks are being split because a successor task is being
performed ahead of its predecessor (based on one of your other posts).

Hope this helps.

Setting Start and Finish Constraints

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 01:45 PM PDT


Jim,
It sounds like you may be talking about what is called a "hammock task".
A hammock task has its Start date constrained to start simultaneously
with one or more other tasks and its Finish date tied to finish
simultaneously with one or more other tasks, but not necessarily the
same tasks that drive the Start date. For information on hammock tasks
and how to set them up, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 19 - Hammock Tasks

Hope this helps.

We have lost the original cd-rom.

How can we upgrade to 2003? Do we need to get a

Hi folks,
I am a Canadian speaking and writing 4 languages and upon trying to install a german language pack I realised that parts of it got called "hun-spell".
I wonder who the idiot was who came up with "hun-spell" for the german language pack in the first place. I guess its the same type of narrow minded jackass who came up with "freedom-fries".
Really guys, this is one blatant and frightening piece of ignorance that does not fit a opensource project like openoffice. Until corrected to something like "ger-spell" I shall refuse to use open office nor will I recommend it!
Regards
Jaques

Hallo Leute, die IdiotIN, die die deutsche Spracherfassung von openoffice "hun-spell" genannt hat ist wahrscheinlich der gleichen Spezies von US-Ami zuzuordnen, die French-Fries in Freedom-Fries umbennen wollte. Bis der Titel fuer die deutsche Sprachversion neu- und umbenannt ist, werde ich openoffice nicht benutzen und auch nicht empfehlen.

Word crashes upon first attempt to cut or copy text

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 05:58 PM PDT

This applies only to first Word file opened when the program is started. After the crash Word sometimes restarts automatically and is OK or I get the "document recovery" screen with one "available file" to restart. Clicking on that brings up the file and then I can either cut or copy/paste text without a problem, including for different files opened in that Word session. These are text files with no bullets or other formatting. I am using the Windows Vista Business version of Office 2007, Service Pack 2. Thank you for any suggestions to fix this bug.

Word 2010 - User Form With Text Fields

Is that no longer possible?  PLEASE help.  I have searched and searched.  Word becomes more and more frustrating and for the simplest of actions.

Word 2010 will not Save/Save As/Open

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 10:32 AM PDT

I have a client who is a Windows 7 Pro x64 user on a domain using Office 2010. When he opens Word and starts a new document, from the File menu, clicking Save, Save As or Open will do nothing but return him to the Home tab viewing the document. There is no error, no indication that Word is trying to do something, it just goes back to the document view. This problem does not occur in Outlook or Excel.

I checked his Save options to see what the default save location is and it is set to save to the network share, but pressing the Browse button to the right has no effect.

It appears that any action that Word tries to do that requires opening a browse window fails. If I select Save and Send from the File menu, I can successfully email the document, but it is titled Document1, but doesn't save it in the default location for the machine. Tried starting Word in Safe mode and get the same result. When I log in to the computer using admin creds, Word works just fine. I logged in as another user who had never logged in to that computer before and it worked fine. Tried renaming his account profile and forcing Windows to create a new user profile for him, but it wouldn't create the new profile, if pushed it into a temporary user account. Thinking it might have been something quirky or corrupted with his domain account, I logged in to another computer in the domain using his creds and Word works fine, his profile gets created normally.

I deleted Normal.dotm; I deleted the Word registry entries in HK_CU_Software_Microsoft_Office_14.0; I have attempted repair installations twice. My next step is to uninstall and reinstall Word, then a complete system wipe. I'm hesitant, though, because Word works on other user profiles.

What am I missing? Any other suggestions?

Easily apply corporate colours to text?

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 08:24 AM PDT

Hello, we have a letterhead file that staff use when preparing reports.

Right now all the text is black, using our corporate font, etc....

Sometimes we'll need some text (e.g. body text, or a heading) to be styled into our corporate colours. So what we currently do is highlight the text, click 'Font Colour', then click 'More Colours', then type in the custom RGB numbers. At this point the colour is saved under' Recent Colours' but only temporarily. 

I'd like to somehow have the colours quickly accessible (e.g. if it permanently showed up under Recent Colours that'd be great). Also, if this 'setting' could be saved into the Letterhead file that'd be even better.

E.g. a solution that requires configuring each user's Word 2010 application would not be preferred.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have a main document which has had 2 other documents inserted into the main document making it a few pages long.   I have had to amend the headings into styles etc but there is a couple of paragraphs which have margins at the RH side of the page and the text doesn't go all the way across as it does in the rest of the document.  I've tried highlighting all the text and going into page setup to amend the margin but it doesn't change anything.

Accents for Yale romanization of Cantonese

Posted: 20 Apr 2013 07:08 AM PDT

In the Yale romanization system, word tones are represented through the use of accents (grave, acute and macron) and 'h'.

Normally this is not a problem as the accent often appears above the first vowel as in many other languages, so these characters are easy to find and allocate shortcut keys for. But in Cantonese Yale romanization there is also need for 'm̀' ('m' with a grave accent).

I can't find the 'm̀' character anywhere on the symbol insert list in Word 2010.
Is there a way to get this character that does not involve scouring the net for an example to copy and paste?

If it were your AD at fault you would have perhaps an hour or more
