Microsoft Word - Problem opening Word 2013 document

Microsoft Word - Problem opening Word 2013 document


Problem opening Word 2013 document

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 03:20 PM PDT

I have a very strange problem with Word (Office 2013 version).  I can create new documents and re-open any previously saved document by opening the program and selecting the document I wish to re-open.  Any new document I have created and saved, however, cannot be re-opened by clicking on the documents itself.  When I attempt to do so I receive the following message - "This file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Word.  Do you want to download a compatibility pack so that you can work with this file?"  What's happening - and how can it be corrected?

Thanks!

Help with Mergefield Formula

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:00 PM PDT

I have a file that my customer sends to me in a carrot delimited file.  I convert it in Excel with no problems.  One of the columns is called "indicator" and it will have different values in it and also multiple values such as "ASM2" or maybe "ASM2|DIA6"  and some may contain up to "ASM2|DIA3|CHF3|CPD3"  I need something like if Mergefield "indicator" contains "ASM2" then "ASM2 paragraph" that is pretty simple if the "indicator" field just has "ASM2" in it, but I can I have the Mail Merge pick out the different ASM2 or DIA6 and put in the appropriate paragraphs?  So like if "indicator" was to contain "ASM2|DIA6|ASM3" then I would have 3 paragraphs inserted into the letter.  These "indicators" are separated by a "|".  I really need some help.

Is there any possibility in Office 365 on iPhone on another place than sharepoint and skydrive?

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 01:22 PM PDT

I open my documents on my iPhone via dropbox in Office 365 and edit them. I'd like to save them back to dropbox but I have only the possibility to save them to skydrive and sharepoint. Is there any way to add dropbox? Is it planned to open the system? If not it would be useless for me and a lot of my friends because I don't want to move all my files from whereever they are.

Thank you

Word 2010 mail merge for labels

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 12:44 PM PDT

My source file is an excel document. I am trying to create mailing labels using the step by step wizard. When I hit the "complete the merge" button it only returns the first label from the source file. I can click on the recipient button and see that all the records are there bbut only one at a time on the sheet of labels will appear.

Autonumber font not the same as the font set in the style

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 12:20 PM PDT

I've just updated to Office 2013. I formatted a style "Appendix,"  which shows autonumbering as "Appendix A" followed by a tab. (style was already in document, so probably wasn't created office 2013). I changed the font & size for the style and made it bold. The autonumber shows the updated font and size, but won't take the bold attribute. The multilevel lists don't show the current list as a list style, so I can't modify it.

 I've tried bolding the entire paragraph, but the number still doesn't bold. What else can I try?

 

Thanks!

Table row height "Exactly" resets itself to "At Least" in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 12:14 PM PDT

I have created a nested table where I want the cells to stay an exact width and height. I have set the column width and row height to "Exactly" x pixels. I have also made sure that in Table Properties/Table/Options "Automatically resize to fit contents" is unchecked. However, the "Exactly" row height setting won't stick. If I go into Table Properties again, the row height has reset itself to "At Least" and even if I set it to "Exactly" again, if I type in the table cell, the row height keeps growing with the added text. It does not cut off the text as I want it to do if the text exceeds the desired height of the cell.

 

I need to constrain the size of the cell to maintain a certain aesthetic appearance and to force users to edit down their text if it's too long for the cell, but the settings are not working.

 

Is there another factor at play, e.g., because it's a nested table, or some other setting I need to set?

Office 2013 users have spinning circle

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 08:38 AM PDT

I have 2 users that have Office 2013.  As soon as they open Word or Excel they get a spinning circle - this slows response time greatly and also slows other applications.

They are running Windows 7 Pro sp1, i3 processor, 4 GB ram.

No errors show in event viewer.

When I paste from a document that has Arial in an existing word document that also has Arial the font and its size is often different. Help!

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 08:25 AM PDT

So I go to copy and paste something from one document to another both Arial and the font is pasted in times new roman in a different size as well. These are on existing document precedents that have been in use for a long time (does this make a difference?) Precedents: documents with fields in them that I fill in. It doesn't help me to set the default font either. 

Thank you,



Why isn't there a paper white version of word yet so we can type outside and still see the screen.

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 07:55 AM PDT

If kindle has a paper white function so documents and books can be read outside in bright sunlight, why can't Microsoft invent a version for office word so we can write outside if we wish. It seems a logical step to me. Is there any chance of developing such a program there are millions of writers out there who would buy it as an add on I'm sure.

Thesis!! Word displaying SQL code instead of SQL output?

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 06:34 AM PDT

Microsoft Word suddenly started displaying the SQL code - instead of the output! I used the Word functionality to automatically create: all of my citations, Table of Contents, Table of Tables, and Table of Figures, etc. It is doing this to any Word document that I open so it's not isolated to one document it seems to be a functionality of Microsoft Word the software program that has flipped a switch. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone that I know does - please help!!

MS Word 2007 - Vyskytly se potíže při posílání příkazu programu ve win. 8

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 04:04 AM PDT

Dobrý den,

při spouštění souboru z průzkumníku nebo z plochy mi MS Word hlásí, že se vyskytl potíže při posílání příkazu programu. Soubor se neotevře. Abych se k souboru dostala, musím ho otevírat pouze ve Wordu (soubor - otevřít), pak již vše funguje normálně. Hledala jsem různá řešení, ale našla jsem pouze řešení pro Excel nebo taková, která jsem nedokázala použít, protože byla naprosto nesrozumitelná. Všechny diagnostiky, které jsem provedla byly negativní, nepomohlo ani obnovení systému.

Děkuji za radu a přeji hezký den

Automatic Numbering - can't get it to align correctly and it won't number some paras

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:15 AM PDT

We recently upgraded all the office machines to 2013 from 2007 and I'm finding the new automatic numbering doesn't work like it used to. 

 

First, I used to be able to set the paragraph alignment (indent and tab) on the first numbered paragraph so that all subsequent paras followed the same alignment.  I can't see how to do that anymore and now I'm having to manually change the alignment for each para.

 

Secondly, we use three level numbering in legal documents at work, for instance, in a Chapter 1 there will be various major headings and subheadings and so the numbering would start 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and then when there is another major heading within Chapter 1 the numbering would change to 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3 etc, etc.   I use 'define new number format' to change the numbering each time.  The problem is, rather randomly, I can use automatic numbering OK for a few paras and then for some reason it won't number a para and whatever I do doesn't seem to work.  Even our IT people can't fathom whats going on.  You used to just be able to backspace a para onto the tail of another para which already had automatic numbering, then hit 'return' and your para would have the correct numbering too, but in 2013 backspace just takes out the numbering.  I've tried to highlight several paras at once then click on the numbering I want but it numbers one or two and doesn't number others!  Or, it will put a new number (i.e. a number starting at 1 again) below the paras I have highlighted. 

 

Can anyone help please? 

 

Thanks.

Images, Embedded Objects within Text boxes not printing

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 01:19 AM PDT

Hi,

When printing A3 documents some images or embedded objects that sit within text boxes do not print. When looking at the doc in print preview it all appears.

To rule out print driver issues I have printed to the Microsoft Image writer, Adobe PDF printer etc and get the same result. All Office updates have been installed and I get the same result whether I use Office 2010 Standard or Professional. Also the same result whether I use 32bit or 64bit. 

I have tried printing to A4 and changing the doc size to A4 and the same effect.

The only way for me to get this working is to save as .doc 97- 2003 or save as pdf and then print.

I have also been through all of the word printing options, turning them on and off one by one.

If I copy and past one of the images that wont print into a new document without putting it into a text box it will print. This also happens if I move it out of the text box on the same document.

Any help will be much appreciated although I feel this is in need of a Microsoft update.

Many Thanks,
Anthony Hunter

Word 2010 Password hint

"Word cannot print. there is no printer installed" After installing Office 2010 SP2

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:38 PM PDT

Hi,

I run a domain with a few hundred clients. Print server is Windows Server 2008 (32 bit) and clients are Windows 7 64 bit.

We have been running smooth for years but a recent Service Pack 2 update to Office 2010 has made the following error message to appear.

"Word cannot print. there is no printer installed"

Happens on all computers, and to all printers (USB or from print server). They can print from other applications just fine.

Any ideas?

I think it was caused by the update, could be a coincidence. I have also installed the Administrative Templates for Office 2010 and enabled "Print Ticket Safe Mode" which didn't help.

Cheers

Cannot change vertical margins in microsoft word 2010

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 05:48 PM PDT

I have microsoft word 2010, and am unable to alter the vertical margins (top and bottom).  I can see both rules (top and left), and can slide the icons on the top ruler, but cannot do so for the left ruler.  I can also change the values in the page layout->margins option, but the top/bottom changes will not register, where the left/right ones will.

Please advise!!!

Word 2010 custom dictionary backup

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 05:13 PM PDT

Using Windows 7 64-bit, I backed up my Word custom dictionary (CUSTOM.DIC) from  
C:\Users\Youraarpness\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof.

I purchased a new computer running Windows 7 64-bit and copied my CUSTOM.DIC file into the same directory.  However, the file does not reflect my customization.  Why did this happen?

Word has encountered a problem and needs to close ... no fixes so far work!!

Posted: 29 Jul 2013 03:10 PM PDT

I have gone thru several of the postings about the Word issue "Word has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I repeatedly get this message when I try to attach a Word 2007 document to an email:  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB disk space.  The attachment is less than 200 kb.  There are no Helvetica fonts used in the document.  I have changed the default printer from the Epson 545 to the Windows default.  The problems continue.  I regularly apply Windows and Word updates to the system, and I honestly believe that it is one of those updates from Microsoft that is creating this problem, but Microsoft is either intentionally ignoring the problem OR they don't know how to fix it.  I've seen complaints on the forum from Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 users.  I have seen some users saying they have found a solution, but many who can't seem to make anything work ... like my experience.

 

Because I bought the laptop from Dell with Windows 7 64-bit installed, Microsoft feels that Dell should support the Operating System ... like it is Dell's, not Microsoft.  Dell is saying that we now probably need to save everything on the system and reinstall the system to the state it was at upon delivery and I'll need to reinstall ALL my software and files, and "see if that works".  That is a LOT of work to do to "see if that works"!!!! 

 

I can't believe that Microsoft is being so cheesy about this and allowing this problem to go on and on and on for so many people.  Does anyone have any ideas to save me from having to do a complete system reinstall????

xp home edition

Posted: 05 May 2005 09:10 AM PDT

Hi Derek,

Windows XP is a operating system.

Microsoft Works and Microsoft Word are programs. Neither are part of the
operating system. Whom ever you acquired your computer from provided the
Microsoft Works program.

Sending documents on the internet can be frustrating. The receiver has to
have a program capable of opening the document.

Works by default saves a document with (*.wps) extension. One has to have a
program that supports (*.wps) extension to open it.

Most if not all Word Processor programs can open a document saved in Rich
Text Format.

To solve your problem....

Open it, then click File on the menu bar, then click Save As.

In the Save As dialog popup, click the down arrow for Save as type:, select
Rich Text Format (*.rtf), give the file a name then save it to a location of
your choice.

Open your mail program and attach the above saved file, send it, the
receiver with Word will be able to open it.

Ken

maybe you or anyone else can help me.

I have recently bought a new computer, with no software as my old computer
had the software i need. Unfortunatley, i have just had a re-arrangement of
rooms etc & the box that works 2002 came in has gone missing. This is no big
deal, until i need to use word, at which point it asks for the product code,
which is on the back of the box!

So my question is, does anyone have a way around this? Is there a legal way
of getting this code from Microsoft?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Again Ritchie, sorry for crashing in on your uestion, & i hope you get the
help you need too!

Adding photo to Works database

Depending on the purpose,

Within Works Suite, one may use the WORD word processor with

pictures, using:

Insert > Bookmark> at picture location

You don't normally need to need to do anything special since Works can read the XLS files
directly, with some limitations.

Scanning in to Works 8

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 07:33 AM PDT

Aldus sprak Kenneth Milton op 18-4-2005 16:33:
 

In each new version of Works some features are removed, some introduced.
So upgrades in some respects are downgrades in other respects. I loved
version 4.5a, later versions miss features important to me: easy mail
merge, autohyphenation, easy format. In version 7 I had my own templates
in a list in the tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been made
impossible. In version 7 one could choose listview or iconview in the
tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been removed: only (monstrous) icons
now. Bugs are not corrected in newer versions. A bug in the database
filtering is in all versions: 4, 5 6, 7, and 8. I could go on like this
for a long time.

Try insert -> object and look for the word "scan". On my computer I
found "Photo editor scan" in Works 8. In Works 7 I had problems with
scanning. So I used Irfanview (freeware) to scan a photo and then
brought it in Works' wordprocessor via copy and paste.

Access to MS Project files via IE without MS Project

Posted: 21 Sep 2004 03:33 AM PDT

Your post is a bit confusing because in one breath it seems you say you only
want a viewer which would allow users to see the files, i.e. read-only
viewing, then in the next breath you say you want them to be able to modify
the files. Which is it?

If you have multiple users, some of whom need to modify files and others who
just need to view them, and you want to do all this over an intranet or the
internet, how about using Project Server? People who need to create/modify
the project files would use Project Professional and publish the result to
the Server. Uses needing only to view the data, update their own hours,
etc, would use Project Web Access.

Redundant links in MSproject?

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 05:49 PM PDT

If what you mean by redundant links is a situation where for example you
have task A as a predecessor to Task C, and Task B as a predecessor to Task
C, and A as a predecessor to Task B, then no, there is not automatic way to
eliminate the dependency.

I think that with some clever programming you could do this. You would have
to create an array of the dependencies for a task, then trace each of them
and if a task which is in the dependency list was found one or more steps
removed from the task then you would eliminate that dependency. Of course
you would have to check for any lags as well, as there might be some valid
reason for the redundancy.

Since the presence of redundant links does nothing bad other than to clutter
the file I don't see much incentive to automate the elimination of them.

One macro which I wrote can help you to filter your project so that it will
be easier to find these things.
Look at the "Trace" macro at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
and select "all" when you are using it.
It won't eliminate anything, but will filter out certain chains of events so
that it is easier to see them.

1 Resource, 2 Tasks

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 10:53 AM PDT

David,
In MS Project, the resource leveling doesn't "contour" the work load of a
resource on a task (as some other software such as PMW did)
MS Project moves the entire task. So the resource may be under-allocated
during the 50% allocation of one of the tasks.

Amortizing material costs

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 08:11 AM PDT

Project is a WORK management tool, not a financial management tool. It
doesn't amortize costs at all, it simply tells you when you acrue them.
How, when, or even if they get paid for is none of its concern. Frankly,
the rental cost of your fencing is not really a task cost - it is instead a
fixed cost associated with the entire project. If you get down to strict
definitions, it is not a material resource at all - the fencing is neither
consumed nor incorporated into the deliverable. Bricks and mortar, OTOH,
would be a material resource since they actually become part of the
deliverable. Properly speaking, the fencing is a facilties cost, same as
rents on office space, desks for your engineers, or the pickup trucks out at
the job site. Project considers those overhead. If you want to include it
in the costs being tracked by Project, you can add it together with any
other similar costs, display the Project Summary Task (Tools, Options, View,
Project Summary), display the Cost Table and enter those global project
level costs in the fixed cost field of the top level project summary task.
Since there are often more than one line item, I'd create a budget worksheet
in Excel where they are detailed, maintained, and summed, then use an OLE
link to drop them into the cost field in Project.

Looks like I stumped everyone!

I'm using 2000 and the titles ARE wrapping. :-) I guess
we'll just call this an anomoly or "hidden feature".

Thanks for everyone's comments

Excel import

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 05:51 AM PDT

I'd recommend you flesh out a dummy project in Project with the basic
type of information that you expect to be importing from Excel, e.g.
Task Name, duration, work, work remaining, predecessors, assignments,
.... Then use the export/import wizard to export this data to an Excel
spreadsheet. Look at how it formats the data. Test this format and
your procedure by re-importing into a new Project file. Then, once you
get the hang of it and have it going properly, then populate the Excel
sheet with the data you really want to import and then just do it.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hello Roy,
As Mike said, in the Resource Usage view, you have the work load (or
cost...) summarized resource by resource (Click the + sign in front he names
to collapse the details)
You could also use the Task Usage view which display the work rolled up on
each Summary .

Hope this helps,
