Microsoft Word - Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Microsoft Word - Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 03:05 PM PDT

I have Office 365 and am using the Reference manager to build my reference list.  When I open the Source Manager, every preview of my references in the bottom window is crammed over to the left (about 7-8 characters per line).   How do I fix this so I can actually see the preview?

Thanks,

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 02:29 PM PDT

I have a suit 2010, and I'm using mail merge to link Excel file with word file, my problem is word 2010 support only 249 columns to merge, it's any program or update I may need  that I can use to merge up to 400 columns?

this is junk!

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:56 PM PDT

About three times a week, Office is busy and says it will be a short time. Last week it was like this from 6am until 1 am. EST. This made me late for 2 homework assignments and as of today, I again cannot open my paper I started. I put this on my computer, in my skydrive AND saved to a external flash drive and still cannot get access.  All I get is Office is Busy!!

copy / paste into read-only table

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:53 PM PDT

I have a read-only form with editable areas which include a six column table.  I have highlighted each row, including end-of-cell markers and made editable.  I cannot copy and paste multiple rows of copy, but if I copy and paste one row at a time the text gets pasted in.

 

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  I don't want to copy in the rows, only the contents.  Am I doing something wrong?

All my office products spell check is not working

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:43 PM PDT

If I compose a new e-mail, reply to an e-mail, or forward an e-mail, it opens up the dialog box and suggests a word for the first misspelled word. If I click any of the buttons besides "Cancel", it acts like it is going to do the button's action, but then only gives me the choice to "Resume". If I click that, it keeps me at the same misspelled word and won't move from there. Same exact thing happens when I try to spell check a Word document. I'm running the app from a virtual server environment and the client is having the issue. None of the other clients are having these issues. Any ideas folks?

Branching in a Microsoft Word form

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:31 PM PDT

I would like to create a form that allows for branching.  For example: Depending on the answer to question 1, it will allow you to proceed to the next question, and so on.  If the any question does not meet the criteria, the applicant is alerted that they do not meet the criteria, and the form is closed out.

There is a pre-release or Beta version of an Office product on your computer error when installing Office 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 12:32 PM PDT

 

Does anyone know why this message appears?  I never had a beta version of anything on my computer and only released product.  MS Office 2010 was updated to MS Office Pro 2013.   I had been using MS-Word for a couple of weeks without any problems and today when I attempted to run the program the splash screen appeared and nothing else. 

 

After the splash screen did nothing except for the animated dots going across the UI I clicked on the X in the upper right, but not all Services closes so I performed a Cold Boot.  After the cold boot I attempted a Repair.   The Repair performed a partial uninstall instead leaving a generic Office 2013 icon in Control Panel Add/Remove. 

 

After realizing the install was now "toast" I attempted to reinstall www.office.com/setup and received the Beta Version or Pre-Release was on the system, however this is and was not the case.  When researching this problem I ended up running the Fix-It Uninstall which did leave me at a point where I could perform a new installation, but this time I used the CD copy I ordered from Microsoft as part of the first 2013 install.

 

The installation completed and so far uneventful.  I just don't have a real cushy feeling about this and being a former MS Engineer I don't like that feeling at all. 

 

When I was running Office 2010, Word would hang and I would have to perform a Repair every now and then.   This worked so when I installed 2013 I thought these problems of the hangling splash screen would be over, but I was wrong as today and with 2013 the spash screen hung again.

 

Does any of what I said sound familiar to anyone else?

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

Conditional statement in text box

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 10:44 AM PDT

Hi all,

Every time I attempt to add a conditional statement to my mergefield that I have placed inside a text box, I get an error saying:

"You cannot include DATA, NEXT, NEXTIF, or SKIPIF fields in comments, headers, footers, footnotes or endnotes."

It gives me this error no matter what rule I apply to the mergefield. Is a text box considered any of those conditions?

I need to apply a NEXTIF or IF,THEN,ELSE to a mergefield, otherwise there will be a LOT of deleting. I use the text box as a way to show the balance due.

Thanks!

Only seeing a partial picture from a picture object

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 10:34 AM PDT

On Word 2007 I have a picture object with a bunch of boxes etc.  When I close that picture, the Word document only shows some of the picture object,  How do I get Word 2007 to show the entire picture object.  There was a way to do this in earlier Word versions; but I cannot find the solution for this version.

 

Having major problems using INCLUDEPICTURE for a mail merge.

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:42 AM PDT

I know this is a common question.  I'm using Word 2010 and connecting to a SQL 2012 local Express database for a Mail Merge.  

I have a string field in my table defining a location for an image.  I am certain the path is correct.  I've verified that the string itself is getting through correctly.  (C:\\TEST\\FILENAME.jpg, etc).  

Most of the examples I've looked at talk about inserting a picture with the Link To File option, then doing an Alt F9.  Beyond that I just can't get it to work.  

I have, among other things followed Graham Mayor's advise and unchecked the Update Link on Save option (although I still seem to be getting that //..//..// format.)

Beyond that my attempts have mostly been similar to this,  Alt-F9 then insert variations like this: 

{INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "MERGEFIELD ClientImage" }" \* MERGEFORMAT \d}

(By the way, it's not clear to me from my reading whether all the brackets should be generated by CTRL-F9 or just the outermost.  I've tried it both ways, without success.)

Does anyone have a reliable list of steps they could provide?  This is getting too frustrating.

Links and browsers

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:31 AM PDT

Ordinarily when I put a link in a Word document and later click on it the page in question opens in Internet Explorer, my default browser.  But sometimes I want the page to open in another browser, such as Firefox.  Is there a way to direct the link to use that other browser?  I know that I can make another program the default browser, but going back and forth between browsers this way is a bit klutzy.  And I think I can copy a link and paste it into another browser.  It's hardly a big problem but is there a more elegant solution?

Linking Numbered Heading Styles

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:04 AM PDT

I have been searching for answers on how to do this, but have so far come up empty.  Also, please note that the links you've been supplying to Shauna Kelly's "How to Create Numbered Headings or Outline Numbering" article no longer work.  The first page discussing the topic is still there, but the links to the actual methods of doing it for either Word 2003 and earlier or Word 2007 and 2010 no longer bring anything up.

What I'm trying to do is set up a Word template that has outline numbered headings that would look like this:

1.0 Heading 1
 1.1 Heading 2
  1.1.1 Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Heading 5

I have successfully created the above headings with all their associated formatting and they work, except for one thing.  I need each list linked to the previous heading level so that I get the following when creating lists:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 5
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.2.1 Based on Heading 3
  1.2.2 Based on Heading 3
   1.2.2.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.2.2.1.1 Based on Heading 5
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 2.1 Based on Heading 2
  2.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   2.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
   2.1.1.2 Based on Heading 4
    2.1.1.2.1 Based on Heading 5, and so forth.

What I end up getting is either of these two formats by changing some of the numbering options:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.2 Based on Heading 3...

or

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3...

I have tried every option that I can find to try to link the numbering in levels 2 - 5 to the number used in the previous level, but nothing has worked so far.  

Is it possible to do this?

I'd very much appreciate any help that could be provided.

Word Table Layout Formula calculations - adding up negatives

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:32 AM PDT

I am using formulae in a Table Layout using the Formula tab and cell references like =(D10-C10)    I've got the Number Format working and it basically works but

a) the minus does not seem to work e.g I have a formula to calculate e.g. b8-c8, b9-c9, b10-c10 etc.. the results of each are in d8,d9,d10

I'm trying to add this up into a total in d12

This works fine until in the final sum formula using =SUM(ABOVE)   which is summing the results of other sums.  This basically works but ignores any negative numbers

My sense is that word does not allow a sum of formula to include negative numbers, though a sum of cells can work correctly taking account of negatives

Any thoughts very welcome

b)also, F9 only works when cells are covered, not just when I click in a cell ?

Word 2007: cannot control placement of picture within a Word-created table

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:05 PM PDT

Dear All,

I have a document with many tables and figures.  I am inserting tables and figures as picture into tables that I have created in Word 2007.  For instance, if I would like a table with a caption on top, I insert a table with 2 rows and 1 column.  I then paste the tale into the lower row, write the caption in the upper row, and specify the table as not having a visible boundary.  I am doing this so that tables/figures and their captions are "locked" together and moving them around is easier.

This has worked great except in the following modified scenario.  I have a large table that I have rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it is displayed in landscape in a sense, however I do not want the page it is on to be rotated so as to be landscape.  With a page in portrait and the table rotated, then the printed page should be the same as inserting page breaks, making an individual page landscape, and inserting the table as non-rotated.  The reason why I do not want to create a lanscaped page is again because I will be moving things around later and messing with page breaks, etc is a bit clunky.

The problem is when I try to insert this rotated table as a picture into a Word table so that I can caption the top.  I have inserted a Word table that is 1 row by 2 columns.  I have then inserted into the left most column the table and would like to insert a caption in the right most column with text rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it matches the inserted table's orientation.  When I do this this, I cannot get the table (inserted as a picture) to be properly aligned with the Word table's left most column.  It (the picture table) wants to be right justified to the page.  If I try to move it or resize the Word table it just cuts off part of the table and maintains this orientation.  I have played around with various wrapping and other settings and have not gotten the desired result.  I'm sure if I made the text wrapping one of behind text then I could move it where I'd like but then this immediately causes headaches with the body text being over the inserted picture table, etc.

What I am wanting is rather straightforward, insert a picture (table as a picture) into a column of a Word 2007 table and have precise control over where this picture table is shown within the particular cell of the table.  Can anyone help?

Predessor occurs after task

Posted: 24 Sep 2004 02:41 AM PDT

You are reversing yourself. You first said the successor is coming before
the predecessor, in this message you said "the predecessor comes before the
task" which seems to say the task in question comes after the predecessor.
Which is it?

In a Finish-to-Start link, the predecessor normally does finish before the
successor starts, unless there is a lead time in the link or a constraint on
the successor that overrides the normal behavior.

This all assumes you are scheduling from start date forward. A lot changes
when you schedule from finish date backwards and such scheduling is rarely a
good idea even if you have very strong deadlines. You didn't mention which
you are doing.

Coding iterations

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 06:23 PM PDT

The *same* task cannot take part in multiple iterations. *Similar* tasks
might occur, but a task is a block of work taking place between time A and
time B. It requires both the type of work and the start and end time frame
to define a task. A repetition, with the same sort of work taking place
between time C and time D, a different time frame, is actually a different
task even though it may have the same name. After all, if I have to repeat
the widget waxing I could put substitute a new resource for the second
round. Since the purpose of the plan is to produce a schedule, every
iteration of the tasks must appear individually at the time frame where they
will be scheduled to occur. Otherwise, you have no way to advise the
resources when they will be expected to engage in that particular activity.
This means you really can't put in an iteration as a task with a counter
because that will appear in the schedule at only one spot rather than
recurring for each iteration. The best way might be to make a best-guess,
worst-case scenario of the number of interations likely and enter them all
in the plan. Then when you get closer to the events you can refine your
estimate and add or remove iterations as needed.

Start 10 days After

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 04:44 PM PDT

Hi Josh (and the rest of the gang)

Perhaps we are applying too narrow an interpretation on Josh's question.
I'll be making a bit of an assumption, but here goes:

T2 earliest start is March 1st OR 10 days after the finish of T1 - whichever
is the later. If this is correct, then it can be programmed by applying the
contraint of FNLT of Feb 15th on T1. Then on T2 you'd apply the constraint of
SNET March 1st, complete with the T1+10 days predecessor.

If T1 is scheduled to finish earlier than 10 days before the March 1st, and
your T1 duration extends, Project will extend the bar length up until the end
the specified FNLT date. If T1 duration continues to extend, then the bar
length wil begin to start the task earlier, as per requirements.

If T1 is driven by a predecessor, say T-1, and Rescheduling Uncompleted Work
drives the task durations into conflict, you will then get the warning
message. Moreover, if progress has started on T1, and you have to Reschedule
Uncompleted Work or amend the duration of T1 such that the end-date of T1
goes beyond the FNLT date, you will be given a warning....thereby having T1
drive out the start date of T2.

Overall, it seems to work reasonably well...but like anything else, you have
to keep an eye on it. To make monitoring it a little easier, I inserted a
Deadline arrow on T2.

If I've got this all wrong, please beat me with a spiked club.

Project 2003 - Can a default be set to start each task at 8:00 AM

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 12:21 PM PDT

Hi

i've used a little "trick" occassionally in a project to force a task to
move to a certain time, but i don't know how to do it for every task.

What i've done is create a new calendar that has a working time of 1minute
(8am to 8.01 am)
then when i've had to "force" a task to move say to the next morning i've
added a task (Task A) between this task (Task 2) and it's predecessor (Task
1) with the duration of 1 minute and then assigned the calendar to it ..
this makes the TaskA go to 8am on the next day and then Task 2 follows it. -
you can then change row height & format the row so it can't been seen when
printing - but as i said, it wouldn't be a solution if you had to do it for
every task in the project

Cheers

Start-to-Finish dependancy looks odd in Gantt Chart

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 09:32 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your assistance.
You'll need 3 tasks to test this (I think). Task 1 and Task 2 are normal
Finish-to-Start dependancy. Task 1 needs a duration longer than the
"tuesday" task (Task 3), I set it to 10 days (while Task 3 will be 1 day).
Task 2 then has a Start-to-Finish dependancy with Task 3. You should see
the abnormal behavior with this setup. Task 3 appears to stretch out over
multiple days, even though it has only 1 day duration. Oh and I am setting
up a special "tuesday" calendar that Task 3 uses (Tools->Change Working
Times->New. Then just assign the calendar to Task 3).

After reading your explanation I think you may be seeing the long bar as
well ("The bar is there over Wed and Thur just like it flows over the
weekend for a 2 week task but the task is a 1 day duration task"). I do not
want the bar, I want an arrow (1 day bar, several days arrow going to the
next task). If you do the same thing with all Finish-to-Start dependancies
the 1 day task bar never stretches over 1 day, even if the next task doesn't
start for several days afterwords.

If you want an explanation as to why I need my project set up like this:
We have a project with several Phases (6 to be exact), each with a main
Construction Task. The Construction tasks need to happen one right after
the next (standard Finish-to-Start dependancies). However, before each
Construction phase, the phase must be approved in a commision meeting (which
only takes place on tuesdays). This meeting needs to happen just soon
enough that the Construction phase will be able to start immediately after
the previous construction phase ends. I want the project Gantt Chart to
accurately show that this task only occurs on a Tuesday and is complete on
that day, but I want the dependancies so that it moves if Construction
phases finish early or late.

Hope that explains my problem better.
Ryan

incorrect value in summary tasks for the baseline cost fields.

Posted: 22 Sep 2004 11:57 PM PDT

Hello,
I think it's the normal behavior of a baselined data :
The summary was baselined at $10000 for instance with 3 children tasks. You
delete a children task which was baselined at $2000.
The summary baseline stays at $10000 but Project displays a Variance of -
2000 .

Anyway, you can baseline the project a second time and clear the variance.

Having to access the Web for help with MS Project is a pain and a.

Posted: 22 Sep 2004 04:02 PM PDT

Hi aggravated,

You can ask Project (and other Office 2003) products to
search the local help files first instead of going out to
the web.
Go to help menu and choose "Microsoft Project Help." In
the Project Help task pane, click the "Online Content
Settings..." hyperlink. Remove the check from "Search
online content when connected." You will still have the
option of searching online if you don't find the answer
you need searching the local help files.

Hope this helps.

How can I get the "Find" function to return matching content in MS Equation Editor Objects?

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:31 PM PDT

In past versions of word, performing a search for a string of characters using the "Find" function would also return instances located in Equation Editor Objects. Is this fuctionality still available, and if so, how can I enable it?

 

Thank you,

Word 2010 Dictionary Problem

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:25 PM PDT

For some inexplicable reason the standard Word dictionary keeps defaulting to US English. I want it in Canadian English and have both selected it and made it the default at least three dozen times but it never sticks. Seemingly at random it reverts back to US English, telling me that all my correctly spelled Canadian words (with the U's in them - like colour instead of color) are incorrect. It just did it 5 times in under a minute.

How the heck do I get it to stop this? Or at least delete the US dictionary so it has nothing to revert back to?

It's extremely frustrating. I've even turned off spell-check entirely several times only for it to reactive itself.

How to wrap custom number format in table cells?

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 01:27 PM PDT

Is there a way to get a custom list format to wrap in a table cell?

In the image below, my text is cut off in the first column. I would like the text to wrap like the second table in the image.

I cannot adjust the indent of the paragraph in a legal document (with line numbers in the left margin and a page border on the left margin, all as part of the header/footer). Any idea how to fix it?

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:51 PM PDT

It's like all the text is stuck to the left margin.  I can add a tab to the first line, and adding numbering to the paragraph will make it a block the way I want it.  But outside of that, nothing!  It won't respond to changes in the ruler, it won't respond to changes in the paragraph dialog box...nothing.  It's really frustrating.  Any ideas?

Microsoft Word email merge to Outlook - Add reminder to Calendar option??

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:23 PM PDT

I do email merges through Microsoft Word 2010 and the documents are the same for all recipients, it is just the merge fields (name, etc.) that change. I would like to know if there is a way to add an option that a flag or reminder will be added to the recipients calendar. The reminder/action date would be the same for all recipients.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Word 2003 is not working properly, but I cannot repair Office 11 because file PRO11N.msi is missing.

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 09:24 AM PDT

Word 2003 doesn't work propoerly in several minor ways, but an important problem is that it will not reproduce text included in a template in a document based on that template. When I try to repair Office11, the process fails because PRO11N.msi is not available. The original installation was of the Small Business Edition, but I upgraded. In any case, the SBE version of PRO11 is missing. How can I overcome this?

Copying headers and footers between docs programmatically

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 08:43 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have inherited a macro that copies the headers and footers between documents (this is done as our company is multi-site and sometimes a file gets assigned to another office and they want to take an existing doc and "swap" in programmatically the headers/footers for the new office).

Here are the details:

- different first page header/footer from the rest of the doc

so the macro fires and here is framework of the code:

- open up a blank doc using the template for the new location (e.g. "Halifax_LtrHd.dot") as a new doc; this will be the "source" for the header/footer info

- switch back and forth between the "original" doc and the new doc copying the headers/footers

The previous guy just recorded the macro.  I am slimming it down and trying to make it more bullet proof.

The question: I found that the "source" document needs to have a section break added to the bottom of it in order to "reveal" the header and footer for the 2nd page onward.  Same goes for the "target" document - if it does not have more than one page, I have to go to the bottom and add a section break to force a second page.  So is there any other way to get to this "data" without "brute force" copying and pasting.

The code now looks something like this:

' change to the new document to pick up the header info from the new doc
Application.Documents(lcNewDoc).Activate
  
' open up the header
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
   
' select the whole "story" i.e. everything in the header and copy it
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Copy
   
' activate the original document and open it's header
Application.Documents(lcOriginalDoc).Activate
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
   
' select that entire header (to paste over); this seems to add one paragraph marker so delete that
With Selection
   .WholeStory
   .PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
   .Delete (wdCharacter)
End With

This is what I would call ``brute force`` programming - basically doing what the person would do manually.  It uses the Selection object to move stuff around.  Is there a way to get at the header/footer data without doing this - perhaps through some other objects?

Thanks,

Albert Gostick

Word 2010 to Web hyperlinks post to wrong locations

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 08:18 AM PDT

When I look at my HTML page in WORD 2010 all hyperlinks are properly addressing their links, but when I post and go to the web page online they are shifted. Some hyperlinks are inserted several times in a row. Some headings on the page that should not be links now link to one of my links. They are scrambled. I reopen the HTML page in WORD and all still looks good?

Create a style (for table) to have the first column at right but first cell at left

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:38 AM PDT

Hi all ! I try to create a new Word model (.dot) in order to have a default table style with : the first column at right but first cell at left

That's works fine when I do it to Word 2003 but when I do the same on Word 2010 all the first column have the same style. I can't have something different to align the first left cell. (But I can have a different color for this one... or that's works when Normal text style is align at the left).

I think there is a bug but maybe there is a tip ?

Thanks for your help

P.S : I made a screenshot : http://hpics.li/b5a391f
The doc file is here : http://uptobox.com/cwqvrhnyvjoc

Like you will see on the picture (on top), the content of the white table is unfortunately at the left side when "Normal / Standard" style is "Justify". But the align on the right works when I put the Normal style on left. But I wan't both Normal style with justify and tab at right. I don't know how to do with 2010 :-/

Combine differently formatted Word files preserving layout

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT

Title says it. A tall order, I know. Is it even possible? Been trying a few convoluted methods and gotten close but not quite. One way that almost works is using a macro to open each component file, add a section break at the end, store its margins, close it, and then use Selection.InsertFile to add it to the blob and reapply its margins. This kinda works except the header/footer content and properties (alternation, etc.) persist from the prior document in the stack despite setting LinkToPrevious to False.

 

Obviously this is a major (maybe foolish?) exercise and I'm not done experimenting, but has anyone else attempted this in earnest & come out with any lessons (including 'forget it!')? And yes, I know the One True Answer is probably PDFing but I'm not actually the one who dreamed up this quest, the goal of which is to have a mega-document that's relatively easier to edit or comment than a PDF would be.

 

I do notice I get different results from setting the Link arg to True or False. Linking, which seems preferable to keep the file size down, blanks out all headers & footers after the first doc regardless of other gyrations.

 

Code is below. Any clues appreciated.

Word & Excel (2010) 'stopped working' on windows 8

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:40 AM PDT

Hi, I hope someone can help me please.

I've just returned from holiday and am trying to write a very important letter (always the way isn't it) so I haven't used my laptop in 2 weeks.  I turned it on like normal, it didn't do any updates or anything different from when I normally turn it on but when I went to open my letter to finish it, I got an error message saying 'Microsoft Word has stopped working  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.' I haven't been notified of any solution, when I click 'close program' it closes and that's that!

I've tried re-opening it and once I've done that a couple of times when I've opened it again I get a message saying 'Word failed to start correctly last time.  Starting Word in safe mode will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully start the program.  Some functionality may be disabled in this mode.  Do you want to start Word in safe mode?' If I click yes, Word opens but is grey and then I get the 'Microsoft Word has stopped working' error message again.

When I googled the error message I got similar sorts of posts but most were able to start in safe mode and talked about 'add-ons' (have no idea what they are!

Because of those posts I tried to open Excel and I'm getting exactly the same thing.  

Before I went on holiday my laptop didn't do any updates for a few days either and and both Word and Excel worked fine the day I left.

Can anyone help me please?  Thank you in advance

Displaying mark up

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 03:46 AM PDT

I finally updated to Microsoft 365 but find that when I send the copy with the mark up for the client to check through the mark up can only be found by: clicking 'Enable Editing', opening the review section, clicking on the drop down menu beside 'Simple markup' and selecting 'All markup'. This is a lot to explain to clients who aren't computer heads but still want to check through the changes on a short piece. 

Is this a problem for anyone else? Is there a simple solution? Is Microsoft word 2013 any better for this?

Word 2010 not responding.

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:33 AM PDT

Hi, I've been getting constant non responding error in word. Every time I save, open or even sometimes when just switching to the program from another program. cant run the 'fix it' program as my current configuration doesn't allow it! I'm running a couple of month old new laptop with windows 8 and only a few internet explorer tabs open. I really need this fixed as it has lost about 1200 words of college work that I cant really afford to be loosing! :'-( Is there any way I can get the free upgrade to office 2013? I bought my version of word within the qualifying upgrade window but never found out how it was redeemable at the time, I have since learned that this offer has ended but can I still redeem it somehow? I'm grateful for any help, Thanks Nick

Template page x of y

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 01:02 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am creating one page Word template and I am inserting page x of y in the footer. However if anyone goes more than one page after filling up the template I do not want to read it as page 1 of 1, page 2 of 2. Is there any way when anyone completes my template the final page number will commence from the first page e.g. Page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, 3 of 3.

 

Thank you....

DOUBLE-ARROWS INSTEAD OF QUOTATION MARKS

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:28 PM PDT

Word gives me double-arrows instead of quotation marks.  How can I fix this?  I am running MAC OSX 10.7.5 and MS Word 2011 for MAC, 14.3. 6.  I have selected the box in the "preferences" which elects "smart quotation marks," but when I hit the quotation mark key (shift '), I get the double-arrow instead (>>, except the two arrows are one character, nestled up together).  I am using Times New Roman font.  I can't find that character anywhere, let alone find out how to turn it off.  Any ideas?

how do I re-format a paragraph under a certain style which includes a border, without "breaking" the border

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 07:21 PM PDT

In a Word 2007 doc (running on, gasp, Vista), I have set a border to go around a certain paragraph style. This works fine for text, bold, etc, but if I try to indet paragraphs, use bullet points or numbering, etc, it "breaks" the border. If I define a new style based on the original paragraph, same thing. How do I turn off this annoying "feature"?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Word 2007 Contstant "Save As" Box keeps prompting and won't go away

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 03:56 PM PDT

Last night after about an hour working on a document a "Save As" box kept prompting and even if I click okay it comes right back.  If I hit cancel it comes right back.  If I save as a new document it is okay for a few minutes and then the same thing will happen again.  Even if I open a new blank document the box pops up before I can even type anything.  Essentially the save as box has hijacked all of Microsoft Word rendering it useless.  I had already disabled the auto background save option in settings as well.  I have a pretty serious paper due in a few days that is worth my entire course grade and am beginning to freak out since I can no longer work on it or anything else pertaining to it.  Also I have Windows XP if that means anything and my updates are current.  Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
