Microsoft Word - Endnote X6 tab disappeared from Word 2007

Microsoft Word - Endnote X6 tab disappeared from Word 2007


Endnote X6 tab disappeared from Word 2007

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 02:42 PM PDT

I am using Endnote X6 with Word 2007 on Windows 8 and both the Endnote tab and add-in in Word options have disappeared. Have tried doing a repair on Office through set up but no good. Can anyone help please?

Compiling information from several different documents onto the macro document.

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:54 AM PDT

We have created a macro that has two parts to it.  The first part allows users to click on their name which will then open up a document for them to enter their information.

 

The second part allows the supervisor to select the users and then take the information the users put on their document and copy and paste it to the master document (macro that is running).

 

This works great when we test it, because we have full access rights to the macro.  The supervisors don't have saving rights to the directory where the macros are located, so it seems to cause an error when the supervisor tries to compile it.

 

We then tried having the macro do a save as to  the master document and save it to a directory where the supervisors do have saving rights.  Then we encountered a problem with the macro trying to go back to the previous macro and it couldn't find the current macro open because we had done a save as.  (For example, the user clicks on an icon called TS which will open up a macro with several choices on it.  From there, the user will select I and E Section Forms which will then open up another macro listing more choices, then the user will select Management Report which will bring up the macro that will be doing the compiling.)  As I said before, for some reason, the macro is going back to the I and E macro and wants to look for the Management Report macro which we have renamed.

 

Any suggestions on how we can make this work?  I have attached the code for the Management Report macro.  I have blocked the code that we were trying to use to resave the macro.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Blurred fonts Office 2013 again

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:51 AM PDT

Office 2013 on Win7, upgraded a few days ago from Office 2010 and fonts are blurred out. Read it has sth to do with a new engine implemented in Office2013.
I tried what people suggested:
- disable hardware acceleration in Office2013
- disable 'use subpixel positioning... in Office2013

I upgraded drivers for my Radeon card as well. Nothing...

I noticed I can make all fonts look great in Outlook if in Windows settings I disable 'smooth edges of screen fonts' but then - fonts in all other applications look horrible but great in Office 2013 :/

I read people disabled FXAA but I have got a Radeon card...


Any way to fix it? It is weird

How to Modify "Fall Flyer" Template?

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 10:39 AM PDT

In Word 2013 I downloaded the "Fall Flyer" template which is available online.

 

I am trying to move the text areas around on the document to make more room for text in some of the boxes. But I can't find out how to move any of the text fields on the template. They seem to be locked into place.

 

Is there some way I can unlock these fields so that I can move them to other areas of the document?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 08:57 AM PDT

I do a lot of heavy document editing and work with the Show/Hide feature turned on at all times. Lately I've run into the problem where the paragraph marks that display at the end of each line do not act as paragraph marks, i.e., I hit the END key to go to the end of the line and the cursor will move beyond the paragraph mark, as shown in the image below. When I try to select individual lines of text using CTRL-SHIFT and the down arrow, multiple lines are selected rather than just the one line, so these "paragraph marks" are acting more line manual line breaks. I have tried copying and pasting the symbol at the end of each line into replace (it doesn't paste in as a paragraph mark, but rather appears as blank space) and then replacing it with an actual paragraph mark, but that has resulted in each word in the document being on its own line, which means that this paragraph mark also acts like a space.  The only way I have been able to remove them from the document is to manually delete them and pressing the enter key to end the line. Can anyone help - what are they and is there an easier way to get rid of them? It's very frustrating to work in a long document with multiple headings where each line may need to be formatted differently and not be able to select individual lines other than by using the mouse. I tend to work mostly on the keyboard, using keyboard shortcuts because it is faster.

Getting old plus/minus widgets in Word 2010 Outline View

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 08:06 AM PDT

The plus/minus widgets in Word 2010's Outline View are less distinguishable than in Word 2003 because they are both enclosed in a gray circle with a circular outline.  There doesn't seem to be any reason for this change in symbology.  Is there a way to get the much more functional symbology of Word 2003 back?

clip art and Word 2013

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 06:46 AM PDT

I recently had Word 2013 installed on my computer.  I use clip art a lot, and am distressed to find that most of the time when I try to download an image I receive an Error message.  Another time I'll be able to download the same image without an issue.  What is going on?  I also don't like the way the program to select clip art disappears with every download.  I know I can select several images in one category to download, but sometimes I want to look through and select many images from different categories.  Ideas?

Microsoft and ePub

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 04:03 AM PDT

Hello

I would love to know if Microsoft's Office Desktop Publishing Suite will ever support and integrate ePub/ePub3. Sincerely, I have tried using Adobe Indesign but I end up with a throbbing forehead, QuarkXpress is not that different. An office ePub maker from the scratch or integrated with Microsoft Office will really be a game changer for making PROFESSIONAL ebooks in the ePub format especially. Microsoft, please.

Issues when using an Excel object to insert rotated headers for a table in Word 2007

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 03:42 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to work around MS Word's lack of 45-degree rotated text by inserting an Excel object into a page, and using Excel's 45-degree rotated text feature in order to achieve my goal.

The table looks perfect when double-clicking (thus opening the 'Excel-view' in Word), however, when not inside the Excel object, the alignment of the text is way off, causing some text to be rotated ~40 degrees or sometimes even ~35 degrees. When printing the standard (non-excel) view of the table, thus with the wrong alignment. An initial misalignment was improved by clicking 'reset' on the format object dialog.

How am I able to print / view an excel file, exactly as-is in an MS Word Document? I currently inserted it using Insert>Object\Excel Spreadsheet with Macros.

Please note that I'd love to work around having to do this 45-degree text, but I have been asked to check into it.

Stuck on opening documents from Skydrive Pro

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 12:12 AM PDT

Having hard time opening Word documents from my clients Office365 environment. I have synched the files using Skydrive Pro, but when I try to open a file there is a 50/50 chance that Word get stuck at the splash screen opening the file:


It works opening the file again when I end the process. I haven't percieved any difference if I start Word in Safe Mode. I have no problems opening the files if I copy them to another folder or so.


Read somewhere it might have something to do with documents using an old template, but I don't know how to verify this. Is there a good workaround for this problem?


Regards,

Joakim.

Defeat persistent 'Automatically update document styles'

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 10:24 PM PDT

Some -- not all -- of my document templates have 'Automatically update document styles' already checked (in the Templates & Add-Ins dialog). I can uncheck it and save, but if I reopen it, it's checked again. And when I launch a new document from it, that box is checked for the document too.

What causes this? I virtually never want that checked by default, and I don't see how to make it stop. These are macro-free ('.dotx') templates, birthed recently and from scratch; that is, they have no code-carrying ancestors. And I don't see much difference between these templates and other quite similar ones that are not thus afflicted.

Cannot alter spacing for "Normal" style in Word 2013

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 09:04 PM PDT

Word 2013 refuses to set "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" as the default setting for documents created using the normal or default style. I have set it dozens of times, but every time I open a new document it is unchecked. I hate extra spaces between paragraphs. Please help me fix this!

Incorrect paper size from PDFs converted to .docx

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 09:01 PM PDT

When I convert a PDF document to DOCX and then open it in Word 2010, the paper size (Page Layout > Size) is displayed incorrectly.

The first time I had a look, it was set to A4 while the document was clearly smaller (probably A5). The second time I opened the document, it was set to Letter.

What is going on here? And what can I do about it?

Footer continue numbering not tab settings

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 06:25 PM PDT

My document is a mixture of Portrait and Landscape pages.  Therefore, I would like to continue numbering from previous section, but not the Tab settings.  My footer has left, centre and right tab points.  These tab settings need re-alignment on the landscape pages without disrupting the tab settings on the portrait pages.  However, numbering needs to continue throughout.  Please advise how this is achieved?

Exporting to PDF - Page size larger than A4

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:45 PM PDT

When I export to pdf using Word 2013, the scale of everything on the page is automatically increased if the page size is set to larger than A4.  This includes font sizes and images.  If there is a mix of paper sizes (A4 and A3, for example) the A4 pages come out normally, only the content on the A3 pages is scaled up.  When I open the pdf file in Word, I can see that size 11 font text has increased to size 16 font.  If the mix is A4 and a smaller page (A5 for example), or if all the pages are A5, no scaling occurs at all and all text appears correctly.  My default page size is A4.

 

Does anyone know if there is there a setting that controls this behaviour, or is this a bug?

Shortcut key to display list of templates

What is the correct terminology for various template fields

Word 2013 overrides paper size in print to PDF

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 03:49 PM PDT

I have found that I can get a better-quality PDF from Word when I print to PDF than when I save as a PDF within Word, but for some reason, when I try to print to PDF in A4 format, Word seems to override my choice and make it an 8.5x11.  If I choose legal size instead, Word gives me what I wanted.

I've already:
* Ensured that the paper size for the entire document is properly set as A4 (and if I save to PDF, that's what Word produces).
* Looked at the paper size that shows up under "settings" when I go to print, and it shows A4.
* Manually selected A4 in the printer settings, which for some reason still start with letter-size by default.

Nothing works.  I even tried installing a new print-to-PDF plugin but it didn't make a difference.

What do I need to do to fix this?  It's not a problem I had with Office 2010, and given how crucial it is for me to be able to produce A4 documents, I may have to uninstall Office 2013 and go back to 2010 if I can't resolve this.

He doesn't need to know how to code, he can hire someone else to code
it for him. I bet there are many java programmers out there that will
offer themselves to code this feature for him.

I understand that not everyone know how to code but everyone could
look for means to get the resources needed to make it happen. Whether
that means hire someone else, or just convince them. Again most non
developers also don't understand the time an effort that coding means
either.

I am glad that you went on an experience being involved in QA and I
guess that you also got to expeirence all the things that need to be
done to test. The effort you put is a good view on the time we need to
put into to solve issues on our part. So please hire people so we get
things done faster and can get to your 'requests'. Does that sound
fair?

Actually, there are many, many such organizations. Some will do well
for their clients, some won't. Upfront research is key to choosing the
right one.

Because I know how many of these companies do things, and the DMA even
condones it in some ways, I decided to offer the following as an FYI
only! There are NO accusations should be felt from this:

Many of them miss one key point I'd like to point out:
If I signed up with YOU for a newsletter subscription, and we had a
great relationship, that does not mean YOUR list could be used by your
friend for a similar business, no matter how closely it matched the
reasons I signed up with YOU.
E.G. when I sign up for JoeNews.com's newsletter via a legit
confirmation process I receive those newsletters I'm quite happy. But
if you go out of business or give my address to
com, even though its the same sort of info I
was getting from you, that is still spam coming from tim.com because I
NEVER opted into any newsletters from him. YOU are the only one allowed
to send me newsletters, no one else is. So anyone else using your mail
list or parts of it, are going to be sending out spam with it, and will
be reported as spam.
Worse, if I discover you are the one who gave tim.com my email
address, I'll also include your upstreams and horizontals in the
complaints as probably a list-seller. The way I do that is to have
created a special e-mail just to receive your newsletters. Since you
are the only one that address was ever given to, anything else is spam.
And by reference could lead right back to you.

Actually, I would advise against such companies, mostly because you lose
full control over your processes. A 300-address newsletter each month
isn't that complex to manage. I would not and do not allow any third
party to come anywhere near my newsletter mailings because I have
promised my clients no other party will ever have access of any kind to
their addresses. You can't do that when you're using someone else,
especially IPs that aren't yours, etc..

But, that's just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't say
it's wrong to use a 3rd party like that, I'm just saying I wouldn't, and
why I wouldn't.

Came this utterance fomulated by Cody Abbott to my mailbox:
 

Yes, but this is the same behaviour as Words automatic numbering, isn't
it?

[Shift][Enter] instead of [Enter] allows you to append as much as you
like within each number paragraph. So for your example:

1. Intro[Shift][Enter]
blah blah blah[Enter]

2.etc[Shift][Enter]
blah blah blah[Enter]

Auto numbering works for you if you work with it.

Did you select to "Remove" it when you installed 2008? If not, run Remove
Office and remove it now.

The copy of Office 2008 you bought: Is that from Microsoft, or is it a

The reason I ask is that the English version of the DVD does not contain the

Office 2008 Font Install:

Office 2008 uses a different method for fonts and many fonts are new
versions. Office 2008 will install fonts to the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft
folder. By being at the root, then all users on the machine have access to
them and you don't get Office 2008 putting multiple copies on the machine
for each user.

The installer will scour /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ for fonts with
the same name and move them to /Library/Disabled Fonts/ or
~/Library/Disabled Fonts/ depending on where they were found.

have the same license terms. But it's probably Office that's essential
anyhow, and the Office for Mac Standard 2008 license will apply to the
Office for Mac inside the Special Media edition box.

Then you need to do as it says: Login to the computer as the Administrator.

If you believe you ARE an administrator on the computer in question, then
try using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the boot drive.

The patch is trying to run the Apple Installer program, and your computer
either won't let the installer start, or will not allow the installer to
write where it needs to.

MS Office 2008 Mac -- how to unregister?

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 07:48 PM PST

Hi Jeff:

Basically, once you do a Remove Office, you're covered.

Yeah, Excel 2008 is a very rough beta right now, isn't it? :-)

Cheers

Is it possible to limit length of the list offonts in MS Office 2004 programs?

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 12:29 PM PST

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't solve the problem. It's not just Word that has the long font lists. All the Office programs have these long font lists. The Word/Excel/PowerPoint font list includes fonts that are not "enabled", that is, it includes fonts not in the various libraries, but are located elsewhere on the hard drive. Office searches them out and list them. I would prefer to work with fonts the way I want to and the way other word processors on the Mac work.

Office 2008 Deactivation

Yes, you are correct on both counts.

Microsoft Mac software does not yet employ the high-encryption software
activation needed on Windows. Apparently, Mac users are less likely to
steal software than Windows users, so Microsoft has not switched activation
on.

The procedure on Windows is not at all painful :-) Most of the time,
Activation will simply work. The software will automatically prompt to
activate as soon as you launch it when you are on the Internet. It takes a
few seconds, and that's all there is to it.

The only time you have to make a phone call is if authentication fails.
Which it can if you make a major change to the hardware after installing.
Then it's no big drama (well, the hardware failure may be, if it's your hard
disk that died...) but the Microsoft Activation Centre will just read you
back a new activation key and you're good to go.

Of course, if someone has bought a bootleg copy, they will have a problem
:-)

Hope this helps

I'm having the same problem. If you goto
http://mscrm/MSCRMServices/BizUser.srf are you getting 500 internal server
error? If so I'm guessing it's the exact same problem I'm having. If anyone
knows of a solution please help out!

Thanks

Sales For Outlook has bugs - PAY ATTENTION MS

Posted: 12 May 2004 04:52 PM PDT

Hi Gary,

When installing the SFO, the user that will be using the
SFO must have full administrator rights on the specific
PC/Laptop. Once SFO is installed the user must continue
to be an Administrator on that PC. This is by design!

The AuthX.DLL file mentioned by a few people is an issue
I have experience with a Windows 2003 server hosting the
CRM. This does not occur in every install. The symptom is
that you cannot go off line - an error is displayed when
you try to go off line stating the server cannot be
found. The AuthX file is updated on the server(s) not
workstation.

I would suggest that you go to
http://www.sysinternals.com and download the regmon and
filemon tools. When you go offline you can monitor the
registry and files to determine if you are getting any
error, specifically ACCESS DENIED. You should then be
able to work out if you have a security problem and which
key or file is causing the problem.

As a FYI, I have been able to change the security
settings of certain Registry keys and files to take away
administrative tools from the user and still having SFO
work. This is NOT supported by MS.

I hope that the above helps.

Johnathan

Outlook syncronisation... what is downloaded

Thanks John,

Is there somewhere in the MS documentation that confirms this? I take it
that if a user can't "see" a record, it does not get loaded into MSDE

Cheers,
Lindsay

Create your own reports via Crystal, and then create a button on the forms

Workflow - Bug ?

Posted: 12 May 2004 02:21 AM PDT

Yes, we've done it this way. And we've also sorted sales stages by name because there is no logical presentation on reports... We've called our stage : "stage 1 : blabla" - "Stage 2 : blabla"...

Another question about reports : I don't understand the report named "Pipeline Chart Report by sales stage". It is wired, no logical representation too !

In brief, I'm very suprised by MS CRM Oppty Reports !!

Thank you for your comment

Searching the share list .. can it be done?

Posted: 11 May 2004 06:59 AM PDT

John - Thanks for responding.

The SDK methods to RetrieveByPrincipal only seem to
return records that are owned by the specified principal.
That is the way it is documented, but I gave it a try
anyway and sure enough - it only seems to return records
owned by a principal. Since ownership can only be a User
not a Team this may not help me.

I can filter out records by use the
RetrieveSharedPrincipal method to see if the Team is on
the share or not, but that seems like a brute force
method.

Is that what you were suggesting?

Thanks so much!

- Jim
