Word Tables

Posted: 24 May 2013 09:03 AM PDT

If I have a table with 78 (+/-) rows containing text and want to insert a blank row between each text row, how can I accomplish this in the least time and most efficient way possible?

StyleRef Heading 1 Not Populated in Header Unless H1 is on Page

Posted: 23 May 2013 05:43 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 document that has odd/even pages with right/left headers populated with the value of Heading 1 (using StyleRef). Two "even" pages out of an 18 page document do not populate the StyleRef for Heading 1 unless there is an actual Heading 1 on that page. Normally, Word just carries forward the last H1 into the header StyleRef when there is no Heading 1 on a page.

All the other even numbered pages display the Heading 1 StyleRef--even when there is no Heading 1 on a particular page.

These two troublesome "even" pages will display the Heading 1 StyleRef if I manually insert an H1 on the problem pages.

These pages are all in the same section with other normal "even" pages.

Any ideas?

Keep text together in rows

Posted: 23 May 2013 02:05 PM PDT

I had this figured out at one time...but made no notes.  My table splits text in a row between the last row on one page and the top row on the subsequent page.  I need to move the information in the last row on the one page into the information on the first row of the next pages...so easy in Word Perfect.  Is there such a thing as Block Protect in Word?

How to reuse parts of a document in a separate document (like Mastering)

Posted: 21 May 2013 08:08 PM PDT

I have a document which specifies numerous tests.  I have a new document which offers a selection of these tests to a customer.  I want to be able to link parts of the speicifcation document into the offer document (where I offer some and not all of the tests in the specification).  Additionally, I want the content of the offer document to update as the linked document is updated.  Is this possible (like with Mastering where a whole sub document is inserted into another document) where only sections of the linked document are included in the offer document?

page numbers by heading level

Posted: 20 May 2013 12:42 PM PDT

I have a document with multiple sections according to heading level 1, e.g., 1. 2. 3., etc.  I want to add a page number in the footer that corresponds with the section and page, e.g., 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, etc.  I also want the page numbers in the TOC to show the same section and page numbers.  However, I have not been able to get this to work for me.  Also, because I have a cover page, TOC, and a page with abbreviations/acronyms, the sections do not match up with my heading levels.  For example, 1. Introduction starts at Section 4.  PLease help!

Microsoft Word - Button to insert date

Microsoft Word - Button to insert date

Button to insert date

Posted: 23 May 2013 09:20 AM PDT

Context: I have created a tab with various commands groups, mostly from macros. My objective are to achieve standardization of the content input and that novice users can fill a word document matrix with little or no knowledge of Word and tables. The date must be that of the day of the input of a row, not that of the document creation.

The predefined formats (Insert tab, text group, date and time) are not suitable so I used the field Date when I recorded the macro. I tried to do Ctrl+Shift+F9 but the macro did not record that command.

What code do i need to add to my VBA to insure that the date is "unfielded" once created?  I tried the following but it does not work...

====================
Sub InsérerDate()
'
' InsérerDate Macro
'
'
    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "DATE  \@ ""dd/MM"" ", PreserveFormatting:=True
    Selection.Fields.Unlink
End Sub
=====================

Thank you!

Trouble getting rid of upside down T character - AutoFit related

Posted: 22 May 2013 01:43 PM PDT

I notice an odd character (an upside down T) appears in the table cells I've formatted. I found out that these marks are because of the enabled AutoFit setting. The marks disappear when AutoFit is turned off but I need AutoFit for my table. The character cannot be deleted as it is attached to the text. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this character?

 

Thanks,

Is There a Way to Reduce the Vertical Spacing between Checkboxes?

Posted: 22 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

I'm trying to replace ActiveX checkboxes with Form Checkboxes in an existing template for speed and compatibility.

The checkboxes are stacked vertically with a cell of a Table and pretty closely align with lines of text in the adjacent cell.

 

The problem is that when I stack the Form Checkboxes they seem to take about 50% more vertical space than the ActiveX, even thought the checkbox symbol itself is the same size.

 

Is there any way to stack these closer together?

(Through search I found some techniques using symbols and macros; however I'd prefer a solution that doesn't require macros).

 

We are using Office 2010 and the file is .docx format.

 

Thanks in advance!

Save As HTML, now all .docx files open with messed up formatting

Posted: 21 May 2013 01:02 PM PDT

Word 2013.

I used Save As to create an HTML version of document. When I opened the .htm file, the formatting was messed up, which I expected (the file used columns). But, when I open the original .docx file, the formatting is messed up in the same way as the .htm file-- yet Windows Explorer says that the original .docx file has not been modified since several days ago. My original file is not actually changed. But Word is not displaying it correctly.

I TRIED OPENING MY OTHER FILES, AND THEY'RE ALL MESSED UP TOO.

It doesn't matter how I open: double-click in File Explorer, or File>Open in Word.

I've made sure not to save any files.

Also, if I use File>New to create a new .doxc file using the template on which my original .docx file is based, the file looks right initially -- before I save it.

But if I save it, close it, and reopen the brand new .docx file-- the formatting is messed up, just like the .htm file.

 

 

Macro Word: Highlight text then add following "QUOTE" Field

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:51 AM PDT

I am a total newbie at VBA, and hitting a snag, so be gentle!

I am working on the following scenario for Word 2010:

I am trying to highlight selected text within the active document then insert a QUOTE field code with data based on input from a userform.

Invoking the userform, highlighting, and inserting of field work, but I cannot figure out how to turn off the highlighting before inserting the field code.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

HL

The relevant code (partly from recording macros, partly from research, and partly trial and error) is:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
    Dim abbrType As String
    Dim abbrMark As String
    Dim expan As String
    Dim entered As String
    Dim insertMe As String
    Dim oRng As Range

    Set oRng = Selection.Range 'range of selection
   
    <snip ...>
    'output to document
   
    'highlight abbreviation itself
    oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
    Set oInsertAft = oRng
    oInsertAft.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    oInsertAft.HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen 'stuck this in just to see if it altered the formatting

    'Put other data in field: concatenates strings from userform
    insertMe = expan & "[" & abbrType & "&" & abbrMark & "]"

    oInsertAft.inser
    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=oInsertAft, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "QUOTE "" " & insertMe & " "" ", PreserveFormatting:=False    'shouldn't this not continue the earlier highlighting?

Adding Paragraph numbers in headers

Posted: 21 May 2013 09:34 AM PDT

I am creating a new document that contains Rules that are numbered.   I need to reference the first Rule  number in the header.  For example, page 1 has Rules 1, 2 and 3, and so I need to have " Rule 1" in the header on page 1.   Page 2 starts with Rule 4 and so that would appear in the header.

I don't even know how to begin.   

Also, I need to tag the Rule No for inclusion in the Table of Contents.

Posted: 22 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Hi, I take apart electronic devices and catalog their parts.
I currently use forms where I fill in the first four fields via microsoft office, and leave the rest of the fields blank. These first four fields are for information about the device, and therefore need to be on every form.  I then print the forms and simply write the information for each part in by hand, then attach the form to the device.

I want to switch to a different kind of document where I can have 16 forms on a single page, and where I can fill in the fields about the device and have it fill in all 16 forms, but fill in the rest of the fields about each part individually.

Is what I'm asking posssible?

I have the entire 2010 Office suit, so I am not limited to using Word.

How do I use the mousepad in microsoft professional 2010 word to copy and paste

Posted: 21 May 2013 08:43 PM PDT

ok so I bought a laptop acer apire one to finish the editing process in writing a book and I can't seem to get the non-button mouse pad to bring up the correct menu when I use the commads to bring up the right click menu.  You must hit control and touch the pad on the right to get the menu to come up but when I do it while in microsoft word 2010, nothing happens, it says something about a selection not being valid. But when I go out onto my desk top and want to do something such as minimize or close a document it allows me to do so with the same command.  I need the copy and paste menu to come up when I highlight a word or phrase and its not working.  I only get the edit menu, such as font style and color.  Help Please!!!??!?!? 

Selecting and Using Text in VBA

Posted: 21 May 2013 06:17 PM PDT

I want to determine (and then manipulate the text string between an open bracket ("[}) and a close bracket ("]").  Since I want to replace the bracket and the text, I also need to be able to delete that, hopefully in a single selecting process.

The bracketed material (text) is within a paragraph and not within a bookmark or anything so this has to be specific.  I assume that I will have to put the cursor inside the text, search backwards for the open bracket and then somehow do an extended selection/search to the close bracket.

How is that done?

TIA

Why is my macro Delete button gray?

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:59 AM PDT

Hello:

In Word 2010, when I click Macro and get to the macro window, I cannot delete certain macros that show up there, because the Delete button is grayed out. How come?

The macro seems to be in "Toolbar - Hans.dot (global template)". It must be a relic from going from Word 2000 to Word 2010 (my toolbar is in Add-in).

By opening Toolbar – Hans.doc, I could see the Delete button not grayed, and I clicked it for the macro I wanted to delete, and said Yes, but then, a box (Project Locked) told me that "Project is unviewable".

So, I'm between a rock and a hard place. Any help would be appreciated.

Copy/pasting certain cells in a table (Word 2010)

Posted: 16 May 2013 10:46 PM PDT

Hi experts!

I have a bit of an odd question: Is it possible to restrict a user from copying the text from particular cells in a table? While still allowing them to copy the text in other cells?

Backstory:
I'm setting up a simple online form using a table and the form tools in the Developer Tab. We are sending the form out to collect information. The completed form will be processed at a very basic level by someone taking the data via copy and paste. I thought it would make it easier for the processing person if I could "lock" the table headings (Name, Telephone etc) which are not required. 

Alternative solutions to collating form-data with Word would be welcome. I am a bit stuck for solutions here as we have to preserve the completed forms for records management reasons. (I really wanted to set up a web form for users but this was denied). 

Cheers for the help guys!

This is true. But of course they can ALSO probe for valid addresses if they
know you return NDRs by having the return address be an actual, valid
mailbox. They can then compare the NDRs it does and does not receive from
your domain against a record of addresses they sent to your domain.

So to me, this is not a compelling argument for NDRs over 550 rejects.

Making the case for using 550 rejects instead of NDRs, if the spammer forges
their domain (likely, as we all know), then it ends up being your site that
ends up sending tons of mail to that poor domain. But if your server simply
returned a 550 for invalid recipients, one of two things will occur.

First and best, if it's a specialized spam program, usually it'll just drop
the message right then and there. Or, if they've managed to use someone
else's SMTP relay, that relay will probably generate an NDR itself. But, the
NDR will *NOT* be from your server.

There are folks who WILL end up blocking ANY email from you if they end up
receiving tons of NDRs from you due using NDRs instead of 550 rejects.

IMO, going the 550 route is better for both your site and the Internet at
large.

So I don't know what the problem is. Any more ideas?

Where can I download an open-document format add-in for Office 2004for Mac?

Posted: 19 Nov 2007 10:40 AM PST

Hi Michel:

I Think he was.

There's an ODF converter for PC Word, but not Mac Word (not yet).

The Microsoft format is known as OOXML.

There is a lot of "political" and "religious" argument about the two
formats.

The bottom line is that ODF is not powerful enough to describe Microsoft
Office files. You "can" down-grade a Microsoft document to ODF, but when
you do, you will strip out various components of the content.

time I used that button. And as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I have
used no haxies at all with Leopard. I also did an erase-and-clean-install
installation of Leopard. Somehow, along the way, the font cache became
corrupted and nothing short of trashing it had worked.

The only fonts I added since installing Leopard were for Intuit's TurboTax
application but I vaguely recall that I already was having font-color-button
problems in Entourage earlier.

Incidentally, I had no problems with Word, Excel or other applications'
font-color selections.

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.

Posted: 21 May 2013 12:22 AM PDT

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?

thanks in advance.

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,

 

Sub UsingDAOWithWord()
 Dim docNew As Document
 Dim dbNorthwind As DAO.Database
 Dim rdShippers As Recordset
 Dim intRecords As Integer
 
 'Set docNew = Documents.Add
 Set dbNorthwind = OpenDatabase(Name:="C:\Temp\Northwind.accdb")
 Set rdShippers = dbNorthwind.OpenRecordset(Name:="Shippers")
 For intRecords = 0 To rdShippers.RecordCount - 1
 docNew.Content.InsertAfter Text:=rdShippers.Fields(1).Value
 rdShippers.MoveNext
 docNew.Content.InsertParagraphAfter
 Next intRecords
 rdShippers.Close
 dbNorthwind.Close
End Sub

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

Posted: 19 May 2013 04:32 AM PDT

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

Corrupted word doc: Details: Equal expected. Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column 12595

Posted: 17 May 2013 10:42 AM PDT

Was writing a research paper and this is what popped up as the error. I believe if I can remove the offending code I can recover most of it. Have tried the recovery tool. DOCx salvager. Word repair tool. Opening in OpenOffice. Opening in Text. Pretty much everything under the sun, but I don't have in depth knowledge on how to remove that code. Thanks so much for any help.

Office Home & Student 2013 stopped working

Posted: 16 May 2013 08:19 AM PDT

I have a new HP all in one computer with Windows 8 and Office Home & Student 2013 installed.  All were installed in Feb'13 by Staples.  Everything has been working fine.  This morning, I tried to open Word, and a message comes up:"Office is busy.  Winword.exe can't be used right now because Office is busy..Come back later.."  That was 4 hours ago. I also tried accessing Excel and Powerpoint, and the same message came up.  Any suggestions?

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!

I'm using one of the Microsoft resume makers.  I need to undo the automatic format so I can add and align some items that are not called for on the template but I don't want to change the alignment on anything that I've already typed.
