How to I remove formatting created by the Auto Formatting feature.

Posted: 21 May 2013 07:00 AM PDT

I am revising a document which was created using some of the auto formatting features.  Sometimes it will automatically create a border line if several underlines were used and then the tab key hit.  When revising a document where this has happened, how can I remove the lines?  I tried to turn off the auto format feature for creating the line but can not remove some of the lines that are already there.  Thanks

Word 2010 Web Layout View zoom display issue

Posted: 21 May 2013 03:13 AM PDT

I have a bit of a display issue in Word 2010 in a few specific documents (not all). I have tried copying the file to a new blank doc, no help.

I am assuming there is a setting specific to this document. Page size, margins, orientation are all the same.


In this example document below I have screen captures where you can see that the horizontal ruler is showing only 3" at 90% zoom, with a blank unused area to the right (this is my issue). Part of a picture is displaying outside of the "page" area.

Hi,

Word 2007 
All my macros are missing.
When I open the Developer --->Macros the list is empty.
No matter which one I choose in "Macros in".
I checked the normal.dotm and noticed that there is one called normal.old with yesterday date. and a normal.dotm with today date.
I replaced the old with the dotm file thinkning that some how the file was replaced and the normal.old contains the macros I had.

Any idea how to save my Macros?

Error 3343: Unrecognized database format 'C:\Temp\Northwind.accdb"

Posted: 20 May 2013 07:58 AM PDT

I am tasked with connecting to an Access DB from a Word 2010 Macro.  I downloaded the Microsoft sample database and the sample verification code but that does not work either.  I can open the Access database so it does not appear to be corrupted.  Using the following VBA code it appears that I am able to find the database but not open it.

When I execute the following code I receive the Error 3343: Unrecognized database format 'C:\Temp\Northwind.accdb" on the line

                                                 Set dbNorthwind = OpenDatabase(Name:="C:\Temp\Northwind.accdb")

Since I am using Microsoft's sample Access DB and Sample code what am I doing wrong and how do I correct this issue. 

 

Thanks,

How do I get Word 2013 to recognize Normal.dotm in Dropbox?

Posted: 20 May 2013 12:34 AM PDT

I have Normal.dotm in Dropbox.  As a result, different computers can use the same defaults.  Works on my macs.  How do I get the PC version of word to do the same.  I tried copying a shortcut called Normal.dotm to the Templates folder but Word was not fooled and made another file called Normal.dotm.  Word was not running when I did the switch.  

Thanks!  

Word 2010 normal style formatting

Can anyone help me with this query please?

 

The main body of my 11 page document has Normal Style applied throughout.   However, I would like there to be a line space between each paragraph but at the moment it is appearing as one massive paragraph in between other Heading Styles.   How can I adapt this Normal style to this particular document so that paragraphs have a blank line between them?

 

 

i am trying to use the Combine Documents feature in Word 2007 but without success.

Posted: 18 May 2013 08:05 PM PDT

the "original document" is:

 

wan too tree

 

there are 3 misspellings. The author of the document sends it to three reviewers. Reviewer1 observes only one of the errors and writes:

 

one too tree

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc1". Reviewer2 also receives the original document, see only one error and writes:

 

wan two tree

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc2". Reviewer3 also receives the original document, see only one error and writes:

 

wan too three

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc3".

 

The author receives all three revisions. She opens the Combine Documents dialog box, enters "original document"  in the left box and "doc1" in the right box, clicks OK and what she sees is:

 

one too three

 

and saves this file as "doc1". So far, so good. Now the author enters "doc1" in the left box of the dialog box, and "doc2" in the right box, and what she sees is:

 

wan one two tree

 

In others words, the deleted "wan" has REAPPEARED!! The author saves the file as "doc2".  She enters this file in the left box and "doc3" in the right box of the dialog box, clicks OK and what she sees is:

 

wan one too two three

 

In others words, the deleted "too" has REAPPEARED!!

 

Obviously, this is not what we want to see. As an additional comment, when working in Word 2003 with its different boxes, etc., the above problems did not appear.

 

I hope you can help

Word 2013 mail merge

Posted: 16 May 2013 08:15 AM PDT

This is the first time I've done a mail merge with the new version. Figured everything out except for one thing, and I can't find anything about it anywhere.

My problem is this: In previous versions, I had the ability to add-in text for every label in the merge, within the address block. For example, everyone I send to is in Ohio, so instead of having a separate column in my Excel sheet with just a bunch of OH's in it, I would add "OH" in between the <<city>> and <<zip>> parts of the address block. I can't seem to be able to do that anymore.

Am I missing something??

Thanks in advance!

Steve,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "nominal value" but let me expand
a bit on what Jack said. Lets say a task started in June 2004 and is
scheduled to complete in Aug 2004. Even though the task is shown as 100%
complete in July Actual Work values will show in the Resource Usage view
through the task end in August. An important step was missed. Since the
task in fact completed early, an Actual Finish date representing the
date the task finished needs to be entered by the user. Project has no
way of knowing when the task finished unless you tell it.

Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Posted: 20 May 2013 05:09 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

I am making my job card on word and I need to have two columns in the same table. I know how to make the table and the columns, the problem I have is that I need to have the first column on the left to have 3 rows and the second column on the right to have 5. Both columns should neatly fit into the same table so obviously the left hand column's 3 rows will be wider than the 5 rows in the right hand column. 

The problem I have is that word doesn't allow me to split the second column into 5 rows because it limits me to the three rows in the left hand column because word wants to align the rows. Is there a way to make the two neighboring column independent of each other so that I can split the left hand column into 3 equal width rows and the right hand column into 5 equal width rows?

I need it to look like this. 

--------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------- |
|                                                                     |                                                                  |

Linking to previous in a document which has continuous section breaks

Posted: 20 May 2013 04:18 AM PDT

I have a document with numerous section breaks, some start on the next page, but many are continuous section breaks.  I need to change the footer for the entire document, but when the documented was created initially the 'Link to previous' wasn't selected.  I don't want to have to go through each section and paste the new footer, so I am going through and selecting Link to Previous.  Unfortunately, where the previous section is a continuous section break, it is not linking back to the previous footer..... it asks if I want to delete existing footer and link to previous and I click 'Yes', but it instead puts in a very ancient footer that must be in someway linked to these continuous section breaks.  Is there anyway to have all sections linking so I only need to change the footer on the first page of the document?

find and replace reacts to replaced text with changes tracked

Posted: 19 May 2013 05:50 PM PDT

I have written a macro to find and replace a number of text strings in a document. When I have change tracking ON and ask it to replace "will aim to" with "will" and then "aim to" with "will", it finds the deleted "aim to" and replaces it again. I have also tried dropping the automated replacement of "will aim to", and just doing the replcement of "aim to", but that gives me "will "(original) , then the deleted text, then the new "will", and I can't do a global replace of "will will" because the deleted text is still seen by the find processor.

Tracking the changes is important as I am an editor and have to show my client all the changes I make.

Apart from making all my changes in the document without tracking them, and then doing a document compare, is there a way to get this macro to work?

pasting several rows and keeping track changes... is it possible?

Posted: 19 May 2013 03:09 PM PDT

I have a question - pasting cells and keeping track changes... is it possible? I want to paste a large amount of text, some of which has track changes in it, from one document to another. I know how to do this when text is not in cells (i.e. just make sure track changes is off in both documents) but when the text is contained in rows it's a no-go, all the changes are accepted when I paste no matter what I do. Can someone help?

 

There are many pages of this so I don't want to do each row individually, it will take forever!

 

If you have a solution I will project love and gratitude towards you telepathically

 

Thanks

Turn off Ctrl+click for users of a Word document?

Posted: 14 May 2013 12:09 PM PDT

I need to know how to make document navigation easier for others. I do know how to remove the need to use Ctrl+click for a hyperlink---however, that's merely an editing setting for me. I have many documents that are reference for other users and would like to allow users a one-mouse click to navigate to various hyperlinks or bookmarks in documents. Please don't tell me to have them change this setting in Word...this is really not an option. I know there must be a way because I've had Word documents from other sources that worked just fine without the need to use the Ctrl button. Thanks.

To solve a similar problem with my Works Suite 2001 Microsoft Works version
6.0 program, WindowsMe.

When the popup displays to insert CD, click to display details, noticed it
is
on the CD as "standard.sbs" file.

Copied the CD "standard.sbs" file to a folder on my hard drive.

The next time I received the popup to insert CD, I clicked to display

The result is every time I now insert clipart it goes to the new location.
No more inserting CD.

Hope this helps,

Works default synchronization for my Palm

Posted: 18 Oct 2004 10:11 PM PDT

Sorry Kevin, most of your advice about Works is great, but this is like
telling someone to tear down their house and rebuild it because a picture is
hanging crooked. There's a much simpler solution...

Irishrutter, Right-click on the Hotsync icon in your taskbar. Select
"Custom..." in the menu that pops up. For each of the conduits "Works
Calendar" and "Works Address Book": click the "Change..." button, select the
"Do Nothing" radio button, and check the "Set As Default" checkbox, then
click the "OK" button.

This will stop it from syncing with Works, but it should still sync with
Palm Desktop.

Custom Multilevel Lists (used as headings) not restarting at 1

I have created a custom multilevel list to use as headings: 
A Level 1; 
A.1.  Level 2 
A.1.1  Level 3 
A.1.1.1  Level 4 etc. 

except from Level 2 onwards, I ticked the box to not include the Level 1 number (in this case letter), so it is:
A Level 1; 
1.  Level 2 
1.1  Level 3 
1.1.1  Level 4 etc. 

I want the list to start again once there is a Level 1 heading.

1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

B Title 
1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

At the moment it's doing:

1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

B Title

2.1 Sub Title

Trouble with Open Office (.odt) documents after installing MS Office

Posted: 17 May 2013 06:21 PM PDT

Hello,

I just purchased Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium version on a trial basis. Prior to this I did not have MS Word on my computer but used Open Office to create documents.
Now when I try to open the documents previously created using Open Office (saved as .odt files), each time MS Word opens them. 

How can I open these documents in the original Open Office format? Any help would be appreciated. I do not want MS Word to open all of my documents. Do I have to remove this Microsoft Office program from my computer? Is there a simpler method? When I open documents, I do not get an option to choose which format I want to open a document in.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

Undoing "update links on save" for hyperlinks

Posted: 17 May 2013 05:02 PM PDT

I have Word documents with a large number of relative hyperlinks. After installing the latest version of Office I found that the relative links had been converted to absolute links--I now know that this can be prevented by unchecking the "update links on save" box in "Word Options".

 

I would like to know how to easily revert the updated hyperlinks back to relative hyperlinks--I know how to do this manually for each individual link but wonder if there is an option to change all the links back to relative hyperlinks?

 

Thanks, Hitesh Patel

Word's ellipses (...) are too compressed

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:50 PM PDT

The default Word (2010) ellipsis looks like this: ...

Most publications have spaces between the periods, like this: . . .

I can create my own symbol easily enough, but then the ellipsis potentially breaks in its middle if it's at the end of a line (so one or two of the periods stat on the previous line). In other words, the ellipsis won't stick together, as the default symbol (...) does (and as ellipses should).

Any ideas?

"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?"

I've tried both repair options and neither has changed anything. I was able to download documents without problem until about two weeks ago. I haven't changed anything with Office; I haven't done anything with it but some projects since I've downloaded the product. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 365Home Premium download has morphed out of control. HELP

Posted: 15 May 2013 09:16 PM PDT

Just downloaded Word 365 Home Premium and it has taken over my entire computer. There are over 18+ Windows cells requiring "answers" that show up even before I can see the desktop on logging in.  When I cancel them or downsize them, they keep multiplying. Word has taken over my desktop and applications for games like Zuma, Mahjong Deluxe, Solitaire. Some icons have been "replaced" by Word icons with name of program underneath. Others have original icon, but on trying to access them, they just freeze up.  It has also "eaten" my Avast! anti-virus protection. This is no fun.

 

 This is a nightmare!!!!!!

Ge 1:6 6 And God ...

The Ge 1:6 is in bold, following by a blank space, then the second 6 is raised font also bold, then this followed by another blank space,

So, after the macro is run the result should be:

Gen 1:6 And God ...

Thus, the raised font second 6 and the following blank space have been removed. Another example:

Before:

Nu 22:33 33 And having ...

After:

Nu 22:33 And having ...

Thus, the raised font second 33 and the following blank space have been removed.

Just to be on the safe side, note that the books, chapters and verses (Ex 22:3 3) come at the head of each sentence, and the raised bold numbers that must be deleted come right after that.

I would deeply appreciate your help.

Moving Word 2003 'AutoText' to Word 2011

Posted: 16 May 2013 11:10 PM PDT

Moving AutoText from Word 2003 to Word 2010?  Here's how:
=========================================

1.  Find and save a copy of the old Word 2003 'Normal.Dot' from its location:
     Probably = C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

 

2.   Copy the Word 2003 'normal.dot' to the new Word 2010 location:
     probably = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033

 

3.   Once transferred click on the old 'Normal.Dot' template to open it and trigger a file conversion, then save the resulting template as with a new 

      name (see suggestion in step #5)  at:
     probably = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033

 

4.   The new entry name might be 'Normal-new.Dotx' (<-- be sure to select the new template extension)

 

5.   Rename the Word 2010 original 'Normal.Dotx' to something like 'Normal-Orig.Dotx'


6.   Rename the template just saved above as 'Normal-new.Dotx' to 'Normal.Dotx'. 
      This makes the just transferred and converted file the starting file that Word uses every time you open it.


Restart Word and the transferred AutoText is now present...
==========================================================

I found references on the Internet and here in this forum that helped me figure it out, but nothing quite this step-by-step.  I hope others will find it useful.

Navigation Pane and Master Documents

Posted: 16 May 2013 11:15 AM PDT

I seem to recall that in earlier versions of Word the navigation pane--I think it was previously called the document map--and master documents were both considered fabulous ways to corrupt a Word document.  I'm wondering if that is still true in Word 2010 and 2013.

 

Thanks in advance for any information that you can offer.

labels wont print correctly

Posted: 16 May 2013 09:09 AM PDT

I am trying to print a full page of labels number in Avery list C2160 the details of the label are all correct and the measurements are correct but the printout is way out.  I have selected the correct paper size A4 and all the borders are correct, but the printer prints it as though there were no borders and not one of the addresses is on a label in full, I have never had this problem with previous versions of word but 2010 seems to be totally out of sync with everything.  If anyone can help me before I throw the program or printer out I would be very grateful.

Microsoft Word NOT working

Posted: 16 May 2013 03:55 AM PDT

I have just bought a HP computer that is only about 5 weeks old.I launch Microsoft Word (Office 2013) and it stops working and fades to white and then I cannot open any documents at all.

 

I try the use Zip and despite me having a free zip tool it is ""elbowed "" out of the way and a WIN ZIP beggar ware sign appears.

 

I am finding that the Metro Apps are shocking and very slow and I cannot understand why a major company would invent something that is basically so confusing to use that you simply cannot use it.

 

I tried to send an email earlier on and Office 2013 just would NOT let me do it.

 

I am experiencing more BUGS than a pest exterminator including messages that  My antivirus and Firewall are NOT switched on and yet I am running a NORTON trial that says ""everything's cool""

 

All our Major Hospitals are still running Windows XP and that encompasses millions of peoples medical records and they are having No trouble ,yet I cannot even open a simple message that has an attachment, sent by a Christian school in regards to School Fees.

 

I understand that Microsoft made XP Too good but I paid $650 Aus for it. This Windows 8 is absolutely JUNK.

All I do is have Misfire after Misfire and it wouldn't even let me do SYSTEM RESTORE. Microsoft seem to want people to buy their software, Yet they just cannot make a system that works. XP excepted.

Would like to know how to enter the 25 charater product key for Word 2013. After typing in step 1, www.office.com/setup, step 2 tells you to enter the 25 characters. A whole host of sites pop up. Where do I go to complete step 2? Running Windows 7

How do I remove the space between lines.

When I type in an address, when I wish to move to the next part of the address, I use the Enter and I end up with a space between the lines.

Can I Merge individual pictures along with names onto an ID badge with Word or anything? (I HAVE PROFESSIONAL2007)

Posted: 11 May 2013 06:04 PM PDT

I am trying to make an ID card for each of 200 classmates for a 50th reunion.  I have the high school name centered on top, Class of 64 and 50th reunion on 2nd and 3rd line (to left or right, I don't care) then on the bottom I have the mail merge putting each classmates name.  I am trying to put the picture which was scanned out of the yearbook along side the 2nd and third lines.  I have the data all there, and the mail merge classmate names, but am trying to figure out how to get the picture placed on the badge.
Is it possible???????
