How to remove a paragraph mark in the cell of a table

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 03:01 PM PDT

I selected and deleted a paragraph mark (backwards p with a double line) in the cell of a table, but when I copied the column of numbers from another location to paste into this table it reappears and doesn't paste all the numbers correctly.  What do you recommend?

Adding Reaseach Databases and my own self-made resources?

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:57 PM PDT

Reseach: I want to add databases within all of my types of documents. All medical ones for my NP profession. I have many that need a password. Can I add them? THX! I have been trying for weeks!

If a document type does not have research, maybe one day it will.

How about other types of documents, like ones I have created so I can reaseach from within the document, my own kept source?

Thanks again,

How does one remove the word "comments" from MS Word's comment balloon?

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:26 PM PDT

I'd like to remove the word "Comment" from Word's comment balloon.  It is redundant and it takes up necessary space.  I know that others have presented this question before me and the response has been that it is not possible to remove the word comment because it is hard-coded.  I am hoping that by now, MS Word has remedied this problem and therefore am presenting the question again.

Accept Tracked Changes

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:25 PM PDT

Sometimes my sources will insert many pages of text using Track Changes.  I want to accept only small blocks at a time, but when I try to select just the first paragraph (or other small block), Word selects the entire block of inserted text.  How can I select only small parts of a single large insertion to examine and accept?

Word 2010: Document treating 1st page as an Even number page

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 01:28 PM PDT

Hi everyone,

I've formatted a book in MS word 2010 which has many section breaks (some have "different even/odd" or "different first page" headers.)  However, given that I have mirrored margins, the first page in the document, which shows as page 1 in the page count, is being treated as an even number, with the gutter on the opposite side from where it should be.  I'm guessing this is due to having a "different first page" header at the top.

Is that correct?  If so, as I need to have a different header on that page, how can I create a workaround so that page one is treated as an odd page margin-wise???

I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thanks.


When I close Word 2010, I get the error: "Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine"

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 11:35 AM PDT

Hi,

I have Office 2010 and when I close the Word I get an error of Microsoft Forms: "Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine".

I've already run the repair application of Office 2010, but it didn't work: the message still appears whenever I close Word.

How can I fix this?

Renaming a module in Word

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 11:11 AM PDT

I have created a new module, that contains a few subroutines, in Word but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to rename it to something more sensible (than "Module1".  I know I have done this before but a) right-click has no rename option, b) double-click does not open up rename and c) found nothing under the menu system.

A related question: does anyone have an article that outlines the differences between a module and a class module and b) are there some best practices regarding how they interact?

e.g. if I have a bunch of "common" procedures, I take it that it would be best to put these in one module named something like "CommonProcedures" and within that have a bunch of sub procedures?  or should I just create one module for each subprocedure (named the same) to make it easy to find the sub procedure...or does it really matter (Word 2007 Help file did not enlighten).

Thanks.

Word 2010: Table captions sometimes in text boxes, sometimes not.

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 10:40 AM PDT

Good Day All,

I am using Word 2010.  When I add captions to my tables, using Reference/Insert Caption, some captions are created in a text box and some are just in a plain text line.  In the same document, both show the style as caption and some are text boxes, others are not.

The biggest problem is that I like to wrap words around my tables and the caption goes in a crazy place (e.g. I select below the table and it is off to the side and I cannot move it.  

It is a very similar question to this post:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/word-2010-captions-sometimes-in-text-boxes/ecddd4ae-fd25-49c2-bd0a-43c285d7305d BUT figures give you more options for wrapping.  Tables do not have these options.

Multiple repeating headers Word 2007

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 08:40 AM PDT

I have a very large document that has a weird structure. I am trying to figure out how to add footers that can be repeated later in the document with out having to copy paste them in e.g. Section 1 and section 4 would have the same footer, section 2, and section 3 would be different.

 

I already have sections breaks for setting up sections 1, 2 and 3 with separate repeatable headers (each page added to that section has the same footer). It's linking to that first section im wondering if there is an ability to do so.

 

 

Title page

TOC

Section 1 (legal jargon footer)

Section 2 (Document information footer)

Section 3 (notes footer)

Section 4 - this needs to repeat the legal jargon footer

Auto Editor on MS WORD

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 06:49 AM PDT

I am looking for a function on MS WORD that I know used to exist but I cant find it and there is nothing on the internet about it to help me. You used to be able to take a 1000 word essay and have WORD auto edit it for you to get the word count down. There was a % slide scale and you could reduce the document by up to 75% I think. It would highlight all the copy it thought could be deleted. It was amazing and clever and worked  - the essay still made sense! I need that function now 10 year on......can anyone help me find it?

Word Version History is different than Sharepoint Version History

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 06:36 AM PDT

All, in a Win 7, Word 2010 (although it applies to Word 2007 also) and a SharePoint 2010 environment (Microsoft Azure), I've found that document version history can differ, depending on if the version history is accessed from SharePoint or Word.  Specifically, the use of "system account" is viewed in the Word version history and not the SharePoint history.  I can explain why "System Account" is present, as Workflows touch the SharePoint documents...BUT, SharePoint doesn't show the "system account" and Word does.  SharePoint appropriately shows the last user account who modified the section, thus if a workflow was run by a user it shows that user account (versus Word showing System).


My question is why?  I get the aspects of Workflows and how the system account is used, but clearly Word is either querying different sharepoint tables for the document history OR is parsing out different fields of the same result set when displaying the version history information in Word.  Assuming that SharePoint is displaying what I believe to be the accurate answer, can you provide insight into exactly what SharePoint API is used by Word and clarify if SharePoint uses that same API for the result?  In short, help me understand why they're different.


The Version History facilities we use are out-of-the-box SharePoint/Word stuff.  Nothing tailored.  Thanks in advance.

Hyperlink Problems

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 06:02 AM PDT

I am creating a CD with multiple documents on it. To give an example these are manuals. There are 300 manuals and each manual has hyperlink reference to each other. So all of these are saved in the same folder and the hyperlinks reference in the same folder. I can get all of the links to work but when I transfer the folder to a disk the links try to stay with the native folder on the drive instead of following the folder onto the CD. Some of links will but some wont. It is placing ../../../../../../ before the filename.

Formula in word 2010

Hi all,

I was creating a score form using word and have a question.

If I create two tables as in picture below. Total (1) and Total (2) has the formula Sum(ABOVE) so that when we input the score, it can sum automatically.

However, is there a way to put formula (or anything) in the Summary table so that the  sum result in Total (1) can automatically be filled in Total Table 1 and the sum result in Total (2) can automatically be filled in total table 2?

Image Causing Odd Outcomes

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 11:21 PM PDT

Hi All

I have a fairly extensive word document with multiple images and so on in it.

Under one of the formatted styles (heading 3) I have inserted an image of a PDF file. 

However now when I refresh the Table of Contents the entire inserted image is included in the table of contents.  This would be okay I guess if the images were a page or perhaps two I could get creative however the placement is middle of the document and there are 67 pages of these files. 

Anyone got some advice how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

In Word VBA, after Range.InsertParagraphBefore, how to set the style on ONLY the inserted paragraph

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 06:58 PM PDT

When I run this code, I get almost everything I want, except that both the inserted paragraph and the one after it are set to style=Heading 3.  I only want the inserted paragraph set to Heading 3.  I can see why it happens --- InsertParagraphBefore extends the range rather than resetting it, which is not what I want.

Sub InsertIndexHeadings()
' INSERT ALPHA HEADINGS IN INDEX
' Go through every paragraph with style=index1 and if its first letter is different from the first letter of the
' previous paragraph, insert a new paragraph with n-dash letter n-dash and set it to style Heading 3.

    Dim para As Paragraph
    Dim sty As String
    Dim first As String
    Dim current As String
    Dim rng As Range
   
    current = ""
   
    For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
        sty = para.Style
        If sty = "index1" Then
            first = UCase(Left(para, 1))
            If InStr("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", first) > 0 Then
                If current <> first Then
                    Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range(start:=para.Range.start, End:=para.Range.End)
                    With rng
                        .InsertParagraphBefore
                        .InsertBefore Chr(150) & first & Chr(150)
                        .Style = "Heading 3"   ' This does not work as desired
                    End With
                    current = first
                End If
            End If
        End If
    Next para
End Sub


 

Australian spell check

Hi,

I am using office 365 to manage emails through Microsoft portal and have changed the regional language settings to Australian English, however the spell check still shows words spelled in the UK/Australian way as incorrect and suggests they be changed to US spelling which is incorrect for this country.

Not sure how to get the spell check to use Australian spelling settings?

I am unsure weather you see headers & footers and page numbering as a

What in your opinion is wrong with the existing approach to these and

If you don't see headers and footers or page numbers then i suggest you
read the built in / or online help or the manuals available here:

When you are familiar with the way they are already applied you may
better be able to desribe suggested variations.

[discuss] Important: Plebiscite on Changes to Council Charter

Posted: 04 Dec 2008 07:46 PM PST

Hi Louis, all,

Louis Suarez-Potts wrote: 

The present version of the charter mentions Community Managers as
eligible for a Project Lead seat (IV.A.i.c+d) even without being Lead of
any project. This was modified for the future version: A Community
Manager must be Project Lead to be eligible.

I didn't know if this was on purpose - therefore my question. 

I know - and you do much more... :-) 

I didn't forget history - I didn't know lots of it at all ;-)

For me it has never been important in which role you are part of the
Council - I can't imagine it without you.

But for the "time after Louis" the change to the charter is reasonable -
any Community Manager will have to work not only for the community but
inside the project too, if he is interested in a seat in the council.

Mentioning Community Managers in the part about changes to the charter
seems to have a different reason.

Best regards

Bernhard

[discuss] Microsoft password protected documents via OOo

Posted: 02 Dec 2008 09:00 AM PST

I understand what is happening but I am not sure I understand your
concerns. Seems to me there are a couple possible issues:

1. You don't want unauthorized people to see the content of protected
documents.
2. You don't want unauthorized people to modify protected documents.

Regarding #1 MS has had a lot of problems with this. For example it
was discovered that one could easily scavenge the tail end of
documents (past the end of file marker) and read parts of old
documents that had previously been written on the disk. Password
protection would not have addressed this problem. I think this was
subsequently fixed but the point is before you start protecting stuff
you need to figure out what you want to protect.

One solution which was alluded to previously is to encrypt documents.
This makes them unreadable unless you decrypt them. There is a free
solution 'PGP' (Pretty Good Privacy) which is free and available from
the GNU folks.

Another option might be to install a content management server like
CVS or Subversion. It would not only track the modifications but track
who made them. It would also allow one to freeze the document as
version 1. Then permit additional modification creating additional
versions at will. Should it every be desirable to recover Version 1 it
would be available. These types of server provide various levels of
security too.

In any case unless the user base never changes you are going to need a
password management system so that when someone leaves the group their
access to the files can be terminated. This is easier with a server
based system than a bunch of documents that are encrypted or password
protected.

Alexandro--

You can change the color palette to one of several already in OOo or
modify an existing palette and rename it (like MyPalette). The palette
you chose in Draw will be used by the other OOo components, like the
Writer text editor. Palette swapping is available in both 2.4x and 3.0.

Start up OpenOffice.org Draw (the Area dialogue is only available in
Draw).
Format menu/ Area dialogue/ Colors tab/ Open button. Select a new
palette and click the Open button.

The default palette is called Standard. You can browse other palettes,
also ending with the .soc extension. The palette web.soc is huge with
247 colors and cmyk.soc has 216 colors. Others are html.soc,
gallery.soc, palette_en-US.soc, sun-color.soc, and web.soc.

However, I prefer to add around 25 useful (mostly very light or very
intense) colors to the standard.soc. Before editing an existing palette
file, I recommend copying it to another name (standard.soc to
standardorig.soc) so you have a fall-back to the original. Also, back
up any palettes you create. Upgrading OOo will bring along your
palettes with other settings.

Editing the current palette can be done from any of the component
programs.
Tools menu/ Options dialogue/ OpenOffice.org menu/ Colors dialogue/ Edit
button.

You can save these searches and they will show up under custom views.

Not sure what presentations cards or visit cards are. These are not terms we

Disable Setup Assistant

Posted: 17 Mar 2008 10:22 AM PDT

Setup Assistant has to run, to create the config plists. But you can
pre-populate all the answers.

I know who Diane has sent this to: same person I was going to pester. He's
using Radmind successfully (and complaining a hell of a lot...) :-)

Cheers

Force Office Installer to Ignore Disk Space?

Posted: 15 Mar 2008 09:29 AM PDT

The problem is that the boot drive only has 250 MB space. And I've used many Apple Installer-based installations that give me the option to put the program elsewhere, so I'm a little hesitant to believe that.

* sigh* Guess I get to uninstall XCode, install Office, re-install XCode, and give a self-satisfying "ha! I told you there was enough disk space!"

SUS on Exchange 2003 Server?

Posted: 14 Feb 2005 11:29 AM PST

I have a configuration like this and haven't run into any issues. About the
only thing I had to think about was user response time in Exchange when it
came time for patch approval/deployment.

Body of a new or reply message blank with red X in Outlook Web Access client on Windows XP

Posted: 11 Feb 2005 06:53 AM PST

Found the problem. It's related to S/Mime, or was in my case. I had to apply
this hot fix found at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883543

Try that on the server and you might have the problem resolved. You'll have
to redownload the s/mime data again to the client after the hot patch but it
worked on our boxes.

This is such a weird problem, I'll just try to show you want I'm seeing rather than describe it:. Here's a few lines from a Table of Contents:

 

5.5   Topic a ................................................. 17

5.6   Topic b ................................................. 18

        Topic c ................................................. 19

5.7   19

        Topic d ................................................. 21

5.8   21

5.9   Topic e .................................................. 23

 

It's a really large document, and all the topics in the TOC before and after this weird part are formatted correctly.

 

I've tried just about everything I know, but I can't get those particular topics to appear in the TOC correctly.

 

And I've been editing this document for several months (it's documentation for a large dev project), and this problem only appeared today.

 

Ideas?

Word and Excel 2010 crash on exit with files opened from internet locations

I have a windows xp machine with office 2010. Word and Excel are crashing on exit when I open a file from an internet location. If I save the file to the computer and then open it, it opens and closes fine. I have tried a repair installation as well as disabling the add-ins and that did not work. 

Office 2008 for Mac error, "Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use."

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 01:15 PM PDT

I have had Office 2008 for mac installed on my MacBook Pro and Imac for at least three years and run Entourage, Word, etc. simultaneously, that is, Entourage on both systems. The Office 2008 version I have allows you to use Office on two computers. I have just one Product Key. Yesterday, I got the error message" Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use." I have done nothing to change my systems except remove the MacBook Pro battery temporarily while I get a new one. Help! What has happened? What can I do to get Office to run on both systems simultaneously again? Many thanks for help!

Stamps.com Incompatible w/ Office 2013?

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:42 PM PDT

Hi Folks...

 

I wanted to reach out on behalf of a friend who is a business user of Word... I'm a developer and an MS loyalist so he sent me an aggravated email complaining that his Office 365 account, as I understand it, was "upgraded" to 2013 and now he can no longer use his stamps.com subscription.  As I don't use stamps.com or (yet) 2013 I'm at a loss as to what to suggest... 

Anyone out there know anything about this?  I'd like to help him out if I can... thanks in advance for any input.

2 problems with office 2007 in windows 8

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:38 PM PDT

I have installed MS Office 2007 on a Samasung Chronos 7 i7 running Windows 8. I have 2 problems (I suspect unrelated) that I cannot solve via web / help / user forums /google etc. Any help from you guys would be highly appreciated.

1) I cannot use MS Office Help - the toggle button showing me as offline refuses to switch to online. Opening "Windows Help & Support" shows me offline, even tho I have FF open. The msg is "You're not connected to the Internet. To get online Help, which shows you the latest help content, you need to be connected to the Internet. Check your Internet connection. If you still see this message, the online Help service might be temporarily unavailable. Try to connect again later." I can run MS Ofiice Diagnostics - no problems until it wishes to go online & I am told i) my computer is not connected to the internet (it is) or ii) access to server may be blocked.  I SUSPECT it is this latter msg that is relevant - - this is my laptop & I have admin rights: I suspect when I was setting it up when I first received it, that I incorrectly ticked / unticked  a crucial access point/command, thus denying automatic access to eg Word Help online. I have been through allmy settings & cannot find obvious block - but any advice here would be appreciated

2) With straightforward installation of MS Office 2007 Home and Student onto above machine, I find I can no longer click on eg a word.docx in file manager & have it open directly - I get the msg - "There was a problem while sending the command to the programme". Again - any help appreciated

Many thanks

Word 2013 opening pdf only in picture format???

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:33 PM PDT

I've now scanned several text documents on several different scanners to .pdf.  I want to open the .pdf in Word 2013 and be able to edit the text, which is supposedly a feature of the new MS Office suite.  However, every time that I go to open the .pdf in Word 2013 it opens as a picture and all I can do is move it around the page or resize.  Is there a setting that I am missing?

Word 2013 problem on Windows 7 - screen breaks up

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:21 PM PDT

Hi all,

This is the first time I post here so hope this question hasn't already been asked. I did go through the previous posts on Word '13 but didn't find anything covering my issue.

Here is the thing. I started using Word 2013 a few days ago on my Windows 7, and there was immediately weird stuff happening. Take a look.
 

Below the text, the page just started showing up weird writings in funny locations. I tried Ctrl-Z but the broken screen just stayed there.

Take a look at another example. This happened after I started the same document from scratch. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have updated Office to be up-to-date.

I have a newsletter layout with two asymmetrical columns. I want the smaller column to not be included in the flow of the type in the larger column.

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:12 PM PDT

The smaller column is for unrelated notes and listings.  How do I make that happen?  I have tried to put a text box in the smaller column and anchor it, but as soon as I put text in the larger column it moves the text box and fills in the smaller column, too.

 

How to delete an extra space between lines of text document

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:01 PM PDT

In 2003 Word, an extra space began to be created (I don't know what I did). The cursor jumps over this area, it can not be highlighted, or normally deleted. The problem is not adjusting the line spacing in the format toolbar. That is already set to a single space. Once before I found this problem caused by excessive header hight but this time it seem to be a different problem.

 

Thank for you reply

Unstable Tables

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

I've been trying to put tables into a Word 2013 document this week and it's not going well. The table is small & situated in the middle of a page. I set it up with a few rows and columns and start to manually enter text. With no warning (and plenty of room left) the table suddenly jumps off of one side of the page or the other. If I enter another character, it might jump back to its original size, or it might not. I can right-click the table to get to Table Properties and manually set the width of the table. Even if I've already set the width, entry into a random cell may cause the table to jump wide again. Back to properties, change by a 10th of an inch (either way) and the table returns.

 

This is ruining my productivity and it doesn't do much for my temper, either!

 

Is there a bug fix or another way I can set up a table without all the nonsense?

New Document automatic indent set wrong

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:42 AM PDT

When I open a new document in Word, for some reason the indent is set at 1" instead of 0".  I don't know when exactly it changed, or how, but it's been doing it for a very long time.  It started long after I had installed it on my computer and had been using it, though - not upon installation.  How do I change it back permanently so I don't need to keep changing it every time I open a new doc before I can start working?

Word 2007 TOC Hyperlinks

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:34 AM PDT

Hello.  I have several manuals that include Table of Contents. The page hyeprlink is there in the TOC, but I would like to make the entrie entry for each TOC line a hyperlink as the documents are for students with little or no computer savy.

 

I cannot do a manual link in the TOC entry becasue ti is discarded whenever the TOC si updated.  There are periodic changes to the documents, so a TOC update is necessary from tiem to time.

 

I also need to embed a link on each page of the document that will return students to the TOC if clicked.  I tried putting a button in the footer but there is no way to click the button without wewntering the footer.  Would appreciate any recommendations.

 

lastly, I generate PDF PRO documents that the students actually use based on the Word 2007 document.  I need the hyperlinks in the Word TOC to transfer as hyperlinks in Adobe PRO.

 

Would appreciate any suggestions you can offer.


Thanks much,

Harold Aaron

How find and fix broken xrefs?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 10:56 PM PDT

I have a longish document (100+ pages) with many cross-references in it.  Some of them are clearly broken, where "broken" means they don't generate the text that they should. For example, I currently have some text that refers to sections 2 and 2, but it should refer to sections 2 and 3. Expanding the fields generating the text with the section numbers yields the following:

{ REF _Ref349679295 \# 0 \n \h }

{ REF _Ref361235576 \# 0 \n \h }


It seems clear to me that these xrefs should refer to distinct locations, because the REF values are different.  But they both generate the text "2". 


My general desire is to have a reliable way to ensure that all my xrefs are generating the correct text.  (Yes, I've updated all the fields in my document by selecting all the text and then hitting F9.)  The second xref above is currently generating incorrect text ("2" instead of "3").


I assume that each of those REF values should correspond to some target location. How can I find the target location for each of them?  Can section 2 have two identical target values?


All my xrefs are based on Numbered Items.


Thanks for your help.



How search for text only within a particular style?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 08:40 PM PDT

I have a long document with many uses of both curly quotes (i.e., "...") and straight quotes ("..."), as well as both curly and straight apostrophes. I now find that I want to replace all the curly quotes with straight quotes, but only when the text is either in a particular paragraph style or a particular character style.  I assume this will require three search/replace commands, one for curly opening quotes, one for curly closing quotes, and one for curly apostrophes.  But I can't figure out how to tell Word to find matches only within text that's in a paragraph with a particular style or within text with a particular character style. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Using ask statements in Word 2010

Endnote hyperlink (to exterior site) has included the paragraph symbol in the hyperlink formatting! Complex endnotes need help!

The special (to OneNote page) hyperlink jumps right over an intervening regular hyperlink (to an exterior web page) and is part of the first hyperlink! Help!!! Here is a picture:

 

 

I had been trying to make the Paragraph symbol return to its natural state, just like all the others (over 170 now...), but if I do it removes the formatting of the first (light blue) hyperlink.  Obviously the light blue is continuing in the background... and is affected by my effort at changing Para to normal (and doing many other twisted things) but why?

 

Solve one problem, find another...

Sometimes, when I insert a StyleRef field an unwanted return is also inserted
