| code for manipulating footer Posted: 30 May 2013 11:18 AM PDT Hello All!
I have a macro which creates a word doc and inserts some text via bookmarks.
I am struck badly when I was trying to modify the footer. This is what I was trying to do:
Footer in 1st Page: "Sample Text" Footer in 2nd Page: "Sample Text".1 Footer in 3rd Page: "Sample Text".2
and so on.. so Footer in nth page would be "Sample Text".(n-1)
I am also trying to align these footers to the right hand side.
How can we do this using vba? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
| Word Styles don't save changes Posted: 30 May 2013 11:11 AM PDT I change two of my heading styles, and yet whenever I exit and reopen Word, those styles revert to their previous format. Sometimes one heading reverts, sometimes two. Modifying the styles to apply to all new documents doesn't make a different either. |

| How to begin page numbers at 1 on a different page other than the actual page 1 Posted: 29 May 2013 05:47 PM PDT This is becoming a real pain and is more difficult than it should be.
I have a document that is over 400 pages. The first 3 pages are title pages and a blank page. i want the actual numbering to being at "1" on the page where the text begins, which is on the actual page 4 of the document.
Clicking the box for "Different First Page" merely takes it away from page 1 and makes the actual page 2 "1"...
I see no option whatsoever for formatting that I want "1" to begin on actual page 4.
The same goes for a header I would like to add. I don't see the option to make it NOT APPEAR on the first 3 pages!
Please help, this is very frustrating. I have been very adept up until now at Word, but this new Word 2010 is giving me fits. |
| Adding a numbered outline in Word 2010 Template/Form Posted: 29 May 2013 05:20 PM PDT I have created a "Process Template" in Office 2010 that requests the user to enter specific information in several sections. All those sections are working exactly as I want them to.
The last section is where I'm having trouble. This is where users need to describe each step of the process they are working on. I want the template to reflect the outline formatting: 1. a. i. i.i. (and so on)
The user should be able to start typing at the top level (1.) and continue as appropriate. This outline section needs to be flexible to allow the user to enter whatever content makes sense. In other words, there may be a step 1., and a step a., but no lower steps. He/she would then go to step 2. and repeat the outline format as needed.
I've requested help several times, but only receive feedback for creating the outline itself. I can do that, but need to know how to adapt the outline to my template.
HELP PLEASE!!!
Thank you, Marilyn |
| autocorrect custom settings work fine on one document, but not on others Posted: 29 May 2013 01:52 PM PDT
We have one document where the custom autocorrect settings work. We can copy that document and use autocorrect as we want to in those specific documents. But if we open another old document, autocorrect does not have the custom autocorrect settings we need. And if a new document is opened, the same problem occurs. Default autocorrect functionality is present in all documents, but the custom settings are missing.
The user recently upgraded from office 2007 to 2010 and moved his custom settings manually. Given that they work in this one document and its child documents, it seems the settings were moved properly, however other files fail to work, unless they are based off of this specific file.
I cannot see any settings that are different in autocorrect between a file that works and a file that does not work. Am I missing something? Is there a way to attach custom autocorrect settings to a single file, like I am seeing here? Is there a way I can import these custom settings to all documents?
I need these custom autocorrect settings to work in every file that is opened, all the time. At the moment the user is using the document that works as a template, and pasting in old documents to make files that work.... or else copying and renaming this file to make new documents.
Thanks!

| Word 2010 - Normal Template, how to reduce size Posted: 29 May 2013 08:58 AM PDT In Word 2010, the Normal Template is very large ~2.8Mb. I have gone into the template content by renaming the "dotm" extension to "zip", and found that the largest items are in the "fonts" folder. (e.g. "font1.odttf", "font2.odttf", "font3.odttf", etc.) There are 6 of these ranging in size from 132 kb to 1.4Mb. I have tried to simply delete them, however the template becomes corrupted. I do not want to create a new template since this one has all of my AutoCorrect entries, customizations, etc. Is there a way to remove these font files without corrupting the template? |

| Why do I get the messages Windows Installer and Patch package cannot be opened? Posted: 28 May 2013 09:57 AM PDT Previously, I had Microsoft Office Home And Student 2010 on my computer. I have always run Windows XP. I removed the MS Office 2010, then later I was advised I needed more RAM so as advised, I removed the old memory card and replaced it with a 1g memory card. Recently I used the Office dvd to reload the Office suite. I assume it's reloaded because it's listed in Add Or Remove and also in the Start Menu under Run All Programs. Previously, I only used Word from the Office suite. However, when I try to open Word, I get first the message Windows Installer and then Patch Package Cannot Be Opened. I am a computer dinosaur and have no idea what a Patch Package is, and I have never seen the Windows Installer message before. I also installed the Microsoft Fixit, but this doesn't help at all. I thought I would just remove that Office suite and start over, but nothing happens when I try to do that. Please, someone, help me with this. Thanks. |
| criteria for paragraph mark after merge field?

| Turning Posted: 27 May 2013 06:54 PM PDT A custom template has been written for our company which has Automatically Update Document Styles turned on (which is causing us problems). So how do I get it turned off? I have opened the template, gone to (Word 2010) Developer > Document Template; tick-off the Automatically Update Document Styles box then click on OK. Saved the template again (also tried renaming it). Each time I return to the Document Template box and it is turned on again! |
