Microsoft Word - second line automatically indents

Microsoft Word - second line automatically indents


second line automatically indents

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 02:15 PM PDT

I'm writing something on Microsoft Word 2003. The first line is indented, and when I continue typing, the next line automatically indents too. If I backspace the indent, it gets rid of the space too. I tried typing something without an indent in the first line, but the second line still gets indented automatically. 

How can I fix this?

Word 2010 Template 1 is running when I restart or shut down

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and Word 2010.  When I either restart or shut down my computer, a Microsoft Word Information window appears:
Do you want to save changes you made to Template 1?
Save  Don't Save  Cancel

I didn't have any applications open.

Why am I getting this window?

Prompting User To Select Files Via File Open Dialog - Options?

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 01:32 PM PDT

Hi all,

I am writing a macro where I want the user to multi-select a bunch of templates which I would then run through and process.

Two things:

1) not sure I am using the right/best object to do this (I thought there might be a .FileOpen() method off of .Application but there was not)

2) not able to set the dialog to default to showing just templates

Here is the code as far as I got it.  Too bad the Word 2007 help file does not make it easy to get to the enumeration list for this - could not find it!  (for ListIndex).

dim loFileDialog as FileDialog

Set loFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

' set a new title
loFileDialog.Title = "Choose templates to update"

' set the default type of files to show; NOTE: this does not seem to do anything (I found it in some sample code)
' loFileDialog.FiltersIndex = 2

' fire it's show method to get it working
lnUserChoice = loFileDialog.Show()

' process the result.

Thanks,
Albert Gostick


Synchronous Scrolling

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

I have been attempting to use the Synchronous Scrolling feature on two new pcs.  I can bring up two documents and use the side by side feature, yet when I click and the Synchronous Scrolling, nothing happens.  The Synchronous Scrolling is not greyed out, but I get no response from clicking the button.  Is there a known problem or is there something I am doing incorrect?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Recent folders incorrectly redirecting for network folders

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 11:23 AM PDT

Hi, 

I'm having an issue with the recent folders in Office 2013. Every time I click on recent folder it opens the wrong folder in the file explorer. For example when I open My Documents it correctly opens to my documents folder; however, when I click on Desktop it opens my documents folder. When I copy the link for my desktop folder it is the correct directory. This may be because these folders are stored/synced to the network since when I try local folders it works perfectly fine.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
This issue occurs both with the Open and Save as functions. 

Thanks!

header and footer and text margins

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 10:38 AM PDT

I have a standard format of letter template that I want to develop, with text, header, and footer areas, each with different margins.

 

When I set this up, the footer is narrower than the text, and any mod to one affects them all proportionately.

 

I cannot get my footer, which is different for the first page, to the same width as the text.

Word 2013 Printing to One Note reverses print order

Posted: 16 Aug 2013 01:29 AM PDT

When I print using Word 2013 it defaults to printing in reverse order (without selecting the option in the printer properties) which is great when printing a physical copy on my inkjet printer.
I use the Print to OneNote 2013 function often (to a single page) and the problem is that Word 2013 also prints this in reverse. I can't find an option anywhere to turn this off. 
I am currently printing to PDF (which also reverses) then print to OneNote with that reverse option, which while do-able, is very annoying.

Is there anyway around this?

Cheers

Office 2013 prints some files but not others - prints intermittently or selectively (Windows 8)

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 08:34 PM PDT

I just got a Windows 8 computer with Office 2013 and some of my Office files will print but not others. For example, I can print several Word or Powerpoint files but will open a particular file and it will not print at all. My laser printer starts to hum and make noise like a successful print job (with a slightly different noise) and then does not print. It does not show up as an error and it will not show up as a job in Queue. There are no errors, my printers lights up, starts to make noise and then will not print.  This can even happen for certain pages withing a document. I have a Powerpoint files where the 1st page will not print but the rest of the file will print.

I had to print an important Word doc today that would not print. I saved it as a PDF and then it printed successfully on the first try. I have hundreds of different office files and most are printing fine but many just will not print.

Any ideas.

UserForm Template to Create Multiple Documents

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 04:10 PM PDT

I created a template that has several documents within the Template.  The template has a Userform that has input fields to populate the documents.  We were able to submit the document as a single document.  Now there has been a change and each document must be submitted individually.Let me explain more clearly if I can:

Template1 is a 12 page document template with a userform to populate the fields.
Pages 1-4 of Template1 is Document1, pages 5-7 is Document2, pages 8-10 is Document3, and pages 11-12 is Document4.

We used to be able to send Template1 and everything was OK, the receiving site would break down the documents individually.  But now, the receiving site is requiring us to submit each document separately.  So Document1, Document2, Document3, and Document4 must be sent individually.

Each Document1-Document4 has similar information in them (i.e. Name, phone number, address, date of birth).  It would be a real pain to have to create 4 different document templates and input the same sets of data 4 times.  It is also a pain to cut/paste each document and then same separately.

Here is my question...finally.  Is there a way to create a template where we only have to input the data set one time in the UserForm and all 4 separate documents will be created from the information?

What property do you set in a content control so that when you click placeholder text, it is highlighted then replaced with the first keystroke?

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 04:01 PM PDT

I have three content controls in a table, each in a different cell. In the first one when I click inside the placeholder text, it is all selected and is replaced with the firsts keystroke. This is the behavior I want.

The other content controls when the placeholder is clicked, the insertion point simply moves inside the placeholder text and any keystrokes you type are simply added to the placeholder text. What am I doing wrong? I checked Properties and all content controls seem to have identical properties. I know if I select the title tab, I will get the desired behavior, but that's not really what I want to user to have to do--too hard to explain. All thoughts welcomed. I noticed just now that the controls that are working as desired have the Group button active--see the screen shot at the end.

Unable to retain a split Excel spreadsheet imbedded into a Word file

However, using this new Windows 7 computer, whenever I leave the spreadsheet (within the Word file) I lose the split.

Please advise.

If once upon a time there was an older version of Norton Antivirus installed
on the computer, then the Office Plugin from the older version could still be
registered in Windows even if the older version has been uninstalled. Search
for the OFFICEAV.DLL file on the hard drive (include system and hidden
files/folders). If you find it, note the folder where it is located, and use
the "regsvr32 /u" method described in

Try stopping(not disable) all of Norton's service in services.msc and
then reboot.

It is also possible the Office 2000 is overwriting msjava. If you
have msjava downloaded anywhere. Reinstall this. Then go to windows
update and download the current msjava version

If that does not work try downloading sun java 1.50 .

I don't know. "make modules_install" is what you do at the *end* of doing a

whole new kernel, or just built up some modules and tried to load them by
hand without putting them in /lib/modules/{kernel-name}, or if you
accidentally wound up with two kernel modules of the same name in
/lib/modules/{kernel-name}, or what.

How did you build your modules? As part of a new kernel that you then

Good luck. I do hope that you *are* giving each new kernel a different name
in your Makefile, to avoid any conflicts between old and new kernels and old
and new modules.

No it doesn't! This is a particular "feature" of one shell - bash, and
it is modified by the option huponexit.

The shell exits by default upon receipt of a SIGHUP. Before exiting,
it resends the SIGHUP to all jobs, running or stopped. Stopped jobs
are sent SIGCONT to ensure that they receive the SIGHUP. To prevent
the shell from send* ing the signal to a particular job, it should be
removed from the jobs table with the disown builtin (see SHELL
BUILTIN COMMANDS below) or marked to not receive SIGHUP using disown
-h.

If the huponexit shell option has been set with shopt, bash sends a
SIGHUP to all jobs when an interactive login shell exits.

You can unset the bash option (or simply not set it), use disown, nohup,
whatever. In general, processes do NOT die when their parent dies!
That would be crazy.
 

Well, that is, in their own code, they "go daemon" in the standard
way. Fork, cd /, close all descriptors, fork again.

 

Not necessary. Java will launch daemon processes! The java thread library
has special calls/options to do so.
 

What forst problem? And no, you do not so understand, because there is
no implication that parent/child will cause the child to die when the
parent does! That's crazy. There is a special setting in the bash
shell that will enable that, but it is not normal.
 

Well, that's nothing really to do with it - they may be started with &
but that's only a habit of the programmer. Honest daemons will go
daemon by themselves however you start them, with & or without.

 

Nonsense. Java's process/thread methods cater specifically for all
this! Java is a parallel processing language.
 

What "concurrency problem"? It really sounds like you want to read a
book on java threads.
 

Of course. That's normal. "Wait" on the other.

equipped 2 year old 1U server at a hardware auction or business auction, or
even an electronics swapfest. I know I've gotten rid of some where it would
have cost much more in man-hours and components to rebuild them rather than
just to buy a new one.

Olympus D-540Z camera:

Try no software at all. I don't have any, and don't want any.
All I do is plug the camera in, mount it, copy the pictures,
unmount the camera, and unplug it. No problems, and I can do
it as often as I please with none of this rebooting silliness.

Microsoft Word - Word 2007 - "Protected Form Field"

Microsoft Word - Word 2007 - "Protected Form Field"


Word 2007 - "Protected Form Field"

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 03:23 PM PDT

I have a dilemma – I created this Protected Word 2007 Document that has Check Boxes, Drop Down Menus and Form Fields for Text entering. My problem is, when entering text into the "Form Fields for Text entering" I need to be able to at least Highlight, Change Font Color, Bold or Underline and you can't.

The only way I found that you can do this in the desired area's and still have the Doc protected was to use the "Comments" option under "2. Editing Restrictions" instead of "Filling in forms". But when you use the "Comments" option, the Check Boxes, Drop Down Menus and other Form Fields don't work as they would under "Filling in forms". So I tried using Macros to turn on the "Comments" option using a Check Box while the document is protected under "Filling in forms", but when I do this I can't I'm unable to change it back to being protected under "Filling in forms".

The only other way I think I can get around this is to create a Macro to turn on All Font's in the "Form Fields" I need it for, but I don't know how to do that or if it can be done. So does anyone have any solutions to this problem or a better way of doing it? This is a document use by many at work and I was asked to make these modifications.

Thanks,

Lonnie

Office 2013 on Surface Pro Open Everything in Read Only

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 02:49 PM PDT

Just got new Surface Pro and Office 2013.  I have Dropbox for work and have to use files from Dropbox (unfortunately Microsoft not everyone in the  company is able to switch to SkyDrive just because one employee can).  Anyway, every file I open in Office 2013 opens in Read Only and suggests saving as a different file before I can edit.  The whole point is to edit the document with the current name and save back to Dropbox.  When I try to Save any files it only shows SkyDrive and Office 365 SharePoint and the Add A Place feature doesn't enable adding Dropbox to the list.  How do I have immediate edit capabilities on Dropbox files and have them post back to Dropbox?

Word 2007 Save as Not responding

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 02:07 PM PDT

Just within the past few days I am not longer able to Save or Save as a new document.  The file opens and then become a not responding box.  I have Windows 8.  I will also say when I would open Windows I'd get a 2nd window of word open and then when I'd close the doc I was working on and then the other doc it would same something about the normal template or something like that (It isn't doing it now).  The problem is only with word not excel or publisher.

I have read through the forums and can't seem to find an answer I understand how to fix.  With the Windows 8 I can't find  the Run command to check the safe mode I see suggested sometimes.  Not a complete computer guru here.

I can't use my mouse to paint over text in Word 2013 (Office 365)

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 01:40 PM PDT

In Office 365 Work 2013 on a file saved locally (not on Skydrive)

 

I have been using the same dotx template for several years as my standard letter template.

 

It has always worked fine.

 

Yesterday I lost the ability to use my mouse to "paint" over the text in the document.

 

It is a dotx template file with just my standard wording as a template.

 

No special formatting or pictures, just text.

 

So, I created a new dotx template today.

 

Same thing, I can't paint over text with my mouse.

 

I can paint over text using the cursor.

 

I haven't changed anything that I can tell.

I haven't change the mouse or its drivers.

 

I don't use any special formatting, no photographs or special fonts.

 

It is the same thing once I save the dotx file to a docx file.

 

Ok, so here is the really weird part.

 

When I open the dotx template I can paint over the text on the page UNTIL I add a single letter of text.

Once I add any text at all, even just one letter, then and only then do I lose the ability to paint over the text on the page with my mouse.

 

Thanks

Template Route en Mass Modificaction

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 01:10 PM PDT

 

Greetings;

 

I belong to a small company on Venezuela named BC&A Ingenieros Consultores C.A. and we have a big problem, the thing is that we had the Template files stored in a server that from now on i will refer as "Old Server". That server was decomisioned and we changed everything to a new server with a new name and from now on i will refer to it as "New Server", however the proyects that were before this modification kept using the old files with the old route (Copy & Paste because its easy for the engeneers) that generated a good number of files (over a ten thousand files) of Word (.doc), the thing is those files keep searching the format on the Old Server Route and i need to change them to the New Server Route, thing is now the opening time is over 2 minutes, i can't do ten thousand (give or take) one by one when each file takes 2 min or plus to open.

 

Im thinking of writing a small program to do the fix wich is as it fallows:

 

1.- Open the "lost" file

2.- Wait 2 minutes or plus

3.- Go to options

4.- Complements

5.- Administrate Templates

6.- Templates and Click on "Go" on the deployable menú

7.- On Templates and Complements on the first Tab y just have to change the route to the folder containing the Template Files (Wich haven't been renamed) Example: \\Old Server\Company Name\Templates & Formats\Reunión Note.doc And Replace it with the new route \\New Server\Company Name\Document Control\Templates & Formats\Reunión Note.doc

8.- Close and Save so everyone on the server can benefit.

 

However i need to make this automatic and preferably withouth opening the file, so i know the basic algorythm to make this and i am thinking of writing the progran Either in C, C++, Turbo Pascal or maybe if i can find how in the Default Simple Text Editor of Windows, but i need help on how to make this fix withouth opening the file and how to call in the instruction in wich the Template Route is stored in a document.

 

Thanks in Advance!

2 problems with office 2007 in windows 8

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 12:40 PM PDT

An MVP Community Moderator suggested I try posting on this site, as  I have had no luck to date! Thanks

I have installed MS Office 2007 on a Samsung 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 (Please note applies to all MS Office - not just word)

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 (Please note applies to all MS Office - not just word)

Many thanks

Changing "save as" location in Word

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I have tried everything under the sun to change the default location to a mapped drive. This is what's happening. When receiving an attachment through Outlook the end user opens the word or excel document and if they select the "save as" option, it defaults to the following location: c:\users\<insert name here>\desktop. I have made the necessary changes in Word and Excel options, I also made a change in the registry to allow this end user to right click and save the document while in Outlook and default it to the preferred location. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Word Docs/Excel Opening as Read Only after MS Update

Team after this weeks update from Microsoft all my Word and Excel documents that I create save fine, but when I open them they open in Read only mode.  I have to keep performing a save as with a new file name to get by the issue.    I also get an error that I had not received  before when opening some older Word and Excel documents.  The error reads "There was a problem sending the command to the program".  I click on OK and the error goes away and the document opens, but again in Read only mode.  HELP....

Translate not working

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 10:34 AM PDT

When I try to translate a word from English to Spanish (or any other language) I get this on the pane under translate options:  The service could not respond. The service may not be installed. Running diagnostics may help. In Microsoft Windows, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Diagnostics.

This translate feature just suddenly stopped working.  I've run diagnostic but nothing was found.  How do I fix this?  Do I have to uninstall Microsoft Office and re-install from my program disk?

Space Bar, Enter, and Arrow Keys do not work in Mobile Office for Android

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 10:14 AM PDT

I have recently loaded Mobile Office on my Galaxy S3 (Android), and while it seems promising, the space bar, arrow keys, and enter keys are not recognized by the office applications (both Word and Excel).  The problem is specific to the apps as it works fine in other apps (text messages, emails, and other writing apps).  This basically makes office useless to me.  It looks like others have posted this issue for OneNote, but certainly this can't be a wide-spread problem can it?

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated!  My keyboard is a Targus Model# AKB33US

Paragraph justify problem in Word?

The last line of a paragraph is usually short; it should not justify BUT it does and I have looked high and low to find a solution to this problem. There must be an answer for Word 7.   How fix my paragraphs so that I don't have 3-4 words spread out over the line in the last line of a justified paragraph?

Page Numbering and Section Break Issue

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 09:07 AM PDT

Hi Guys,

             I have been having an issue in Word with Page Numbering and Section Breaks. So I have been creating some standard templates for my firm, in one particular template this is the set up:

 

Page 1: Cover Page

Footer- empty, no page number....."Different First Page"

--section Break

 

Page2:

Footer- empty, no page number

 

Page3:

Footer- Page number starts here so will be "Page 2"

 

Ok so the is my template, which is all fine and dandy.

 

The problem I have is that when a user creates a document based on this template them may want to add an additional section break(say to make a horizontal page), when they do this the page numbering does not run continous, and the first page of the section break has no page number and looks like so:

 

Page 1: Cover Page

Footer- empty, no page number

--section Break

Page2:

Footer- empty, no page number

Page3:

Footer- Page number starts here so will be "Page 2"

 

Page4:

Footer- Page number starts here so will be "Page 3"

 

--section break for Horizontal pages--

Page5:

Footer- empty, no page number

 

Page5:

Footer- Page number starts here so will be "Page 2"

 

--section break for end of Horizontal pages--

 

How can I get the page numbers to run continous when additional section breaks are added?

 

Thank You

 

John

Mail merge page numbering in Word 2010 and printing same

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 07:03 AM PDT

My question is two-fold.

 

I have an 11 page Word 2010 training plan document which has an index.  The footer is set up as a table with the number 1 of 11 right aligned.  When I do a mail merge, e.g. for 10 people, the page number is continuous so that I end up with pages 1 of 110 at the bottom.  How can I stop this, so that each person's plan is still 1 of 11?

 

Also, I want to print these double sided but when I send print double-sided to the printer, I end up with the first page of the second set on the back of page 11 of the first set.  Any help gratefully received.

Unlocking footers

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 06:51 AM PDT

I have a co-worker with a document with a locked footer.  I'm lead to believe that Ctl + 4 or Ctl + Shift + F11 should unlock the footer.  I've provided that info but that doesn't do the trick.  Are there multiple ways to lock the footer and, if so, how do I go about unlocking it?

 

Thanks.

Error Message when opening PDF in Word 2013

Excel VBA to create Word bookmarks

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 06:19 AM PDT

I have an Excel VBA macro where I want to create bookmarks in Word, and later populate them with values from my spreadsheet.

 

 

The Word Doc - the fiirst two paragraphs look like this:

 

Column: (P)

Format: (P)

 

 

The Excel VBA Code: creates the Bookmark and populates it

 

Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document

 

Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = True

Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(Template:="C:\Users\DD.dotx")

 

wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Add Name:="colName", Range:=wrdDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range

 

wrdDoc.Bookmarks("colName").Range.InsertAfter "ABC"

 

 

Notes on what is happening

 

1) When I set the bookmark, it iis set to the entire line Column: (P), where (P) is paragraph marker.

 

2) When I insert the text into the bookmark, I get this: ABCtFormat (P).  It is inserted at the start of the next paragraph.

 

3) I changed InsertAfter to InsertBefore.  I get this: ABCColumn: (P)

 

4) Changing InsertAfter to Text=, I get this: ABCFormat (P)

 

5) What I really want it this:

 

Column: ABC (P)

Format:  (P)

 

It would be great to have the bookmark set to just an  insertion point between Column: and (P) (rather than select the whole line).  I think that wold solve my problem.  I have explored many solutions that I have found online, but so far I haven't picked the winning combination.

 

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!  I am thinking there is a really simple solution here, but I am not seeing it.

 

 

Thanks,

Dennis

Keyboard Hooks is not working in Ms Word 2013

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:35 AM PDT

I installed a low level keyboard Hooks in Ms Word-Addin project and captured "Enter" , "Tab" , "Shift+Tab" keys


which works fine in Word 2007 and 2010 (32-Bit/64-Bit),But in Ms Word-2013 does not trigger any keyboard hooks.
I tried several solutions which provided on different blogs but problem still remains.


Kindly let me know if you have proper solution for this.


Different ways to apply a style to a content control

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:19 AM PDT

I am changing the format of a content control placeholder text and replacement text by selecting the title tab of the content control and applying a style from the style pane or style gallery. From the Developer tab, Properties, Content Control Properties dialog, I note that the Style box is dimmed and Default Paragraph Font is displayed. If I go directly to the Content Control Properties dialog, check Use a style to format text typed into the empty control, and click a style from the drop-down list, that style is applied to the placeholder text and replacement text. If I change styles again by selecting the title tab of the content control and applying a style from the style pane or style gallery, the Style box is again dimmed and Default Paragraph Font is displayed. I have some questions:
  1. Why doesn't the Style box display the style I used when I applied a style by selecting the title tab and applying a style? 
  2. What is the meaning and purpose of Default Paragraph Font in the Style box?
  3. If I apply a style that displays in a certain color and I want to change that color, is it OK just to manually format the placeholder text and that font color change will consistently be applied to the replacement text?
Thanks in advance.

scan letterhead as Word template

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:01 AM PDT

Hello.

Once in a while I want to create a letter on my office letterhead at home and send it as an email attachment. What I am doing now is a bit cumbersome. I create the letter on my letterhead, print it, scan it and save it as a .pdf file. Then I can send it as an email attachment.

Is there any way I can save my letterhead as a Word template, perhaps by scanning it? The letterhead is a bit complex, so I don't think it would be easy to do by manual techniques.

If it's not possible, I can, of course, continue to print, scan, and save.

Many thanks.

Word 2013 does not print some embedded objects

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 03:21 AM PDT

Hello

I have a recurring problem trying to print embedded graphs for my dissertation in Word 2013. They are created in GraphPad prism and are embedded. They are clearly visible on the screen, and when printed to Xerox printer or to Office XPS printer, they disappear - there is just an empty space. Images (photographs) remain present. A similar problem occurs when I am trying to print images that were saved as EMF by another program and embedded into Word by me as drag and drop. They instead come out completely black but are clearly visible on the screen.

If I save the document as PDF within Word, then they are present, but the fonts within the graphs are changed from Arial to a smaller sans serif font. Also, the images are dramatically reduced in resolution and quality.

I won't be able to actually print my dissertation with this issue. I would gratefully appreciate any help with this problem. Even being able to print/save to PDF in high quality would be an acceptable solution.

Image as header affected by margains

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 02:53 AM PDT

I want to create a document template with an already created image as the header. The image has a logo, and lots of text in it. I would like the image to stretch the entire width of the page and not be affected by the margains, if I resize the image past the margains, it prints the header with the sides or top cut off as per the margains (see attached image). I do not want to resize the header to within the margains as the text becomes unreadable, I also do not want to stretch or skew the header image. I would also like to know how to set the area where text will be typed just below the header, this should be according to margains. Is this possible?

!Syntax error when using DateCalc formula

Posted: 15 Aug 2013 02:38 AM PDT

I am using the following formula (from macropod) to calculate a date (current date + 1 year) into a form field in Word:

 

{QUOTE

{SET Delay 1}

{SET yy{={DATE \@ yyyy}+Delay}}

{SET mm{DATE \@ MM}}

{SET dd{={DATE \@ d}-({DATE \@ d}>28)*({DATE \@ M}=2)*((MOD(yy,4)>0)+(MOD(yy,400)>0)-(MOD(yy,100)>0))}}

"{dd}-{mm}-{yy}" \@ "yyyy-MM-dd"

 

This works fine as long as I use English (Australia) as my regional settings.

 

The problem is, I currently work for a Danish company and when I use the above formula, I get:

 

!Syntax Error, ,4

 

This error appears where the date should be inserted, on any PC that has "Danish" as a Region and Language format.

 

I would be most grateful if someone could show me how to edit this formula to allow it to work on Danish PC's.

 

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Word 2010 is flagging both "it's" and "its"

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 06:08 PM PDT

When I typed this sentence:
"It's fine," said Danny.
Word underlined it green as a grammar mistake (which, I'm pretty sure, it isn't). But when I used its suggestion ("its"), it told me to change it back to "it's" with a blue underline. (Of course, I can tell it to just ignore it, but it's strange since this has happened a few times in places where the obviously correct word to use is "it's", and Word is contradicting itself).
