Word Font Dialog cannot make changes to doc

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:19 PM PDT

The Font dialog has an advanced tab that allows you to select OpenType features. The dialog's preview shows the correct text for selected feature. However, the selections do not get set in the document.
See this page:
http://ahangama.com/liga/
You can download the OpenType font that is tested here:
http://ahangama.com/liga/samagana.ttf

Note that Excel has no problem showing the ligatures even without any special setting. All other major browsers, AbiWord, Gnumeric and Linux and Mac OSs and even Windows Notepad have no problem properly displaying this font.

I think I have given all the pointers. Now it is your task to do justice to your customers. I have been a reseller of MS products since before Windows 95 when we had direct phone contact and solutions were done enthusiastically.

The applications with the problem: IE9, IE10, MS Word 2007, MS Word 2010.

Thanks.

Word 2007 saves as word document that tries to open in photo viewer

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:10 PM PDT

All documents saved in Word 2007 save automatically as word document.  They try to open

in photo viewer but cannot.  I have to select "open with Microsoft Word."

Now when I save, I select from the drop down menu each time I want to save the only

selection for Word available-- Word 97-2003.

 

Why can't Word 2007 save documents  as a Word 2007 doc?

 

The software was registered and activated.  This problem showed up some time this past year.

How to call a subproc in a module in another template

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 12:07 PM PDT

I tried the following using the syntax:

Application.Run "'<template.dotm>'!<module>.<subproc>"

where "McKellar.dotm" is the template
SwitchLogo is the module
SwitchLogoGuelph is the subprocedure (macro)

e.g.

Application.Run "'McKellar.dotm'!SwitchLogoGuelph.Main"

and that did indeed work but then I noticed in forums that others talked about adding a reference in the *calling* template to the *called* template so that the syntax is simpler.

I tried that and the editor then loaded all the macros in the referred (linked) template but this call did not work:

Call SwitchLogo.SwitchLogoGuelph.main

Is there a way to get the 2nd way working?  and is there a "best" way if both work?

Thanks,
Albert

How do I fix indenting in a single level list?

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

I am trying to create a simple list from 1 to 12.

When I type "1.", Word automatically creates a numbered list. The only problem is that it is indenting the list to 4 inches across the page. I don't want it to be indented that far. I am looking for it to be about .5 under the line above it.
I have gone into the settings as best i could for formatting bullets and numbering, but there is no option for me to change the indent reflected there. Am I missing something?

I have searched around for an answer to this problem. I am trying not to use any other style besides normal - i even changed the setting in the advanced options to reflect this.


Is it possible that using copied text from word documents created with 2003 or older could have messed with the formatting settings?

column breaks

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:25 AM PDT

I am starting a new chapter. I want the title of the chapter to be one column wide. I want the text to be two columns wide. When I select the text, and change it to two columns, it moves to the next page. The break says "continuous", it does not say "next page". I've tried this repeatedly and the same thing always happens.

So on the first page I have the title only (with a continuous break), with a lot of blank space underneath (for the rest of the page). The columns of text appear on the second page. I want the text on the same page as the chapter title.

Can you please help me. Thank you.

mail merge

mailmerge multiple rows to 1 recipient

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:46 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm looking for some assistance.  I have Word 2010, Outlook 2010, and Excel 2010.

I have a table in Excel with 500+ rows of data.  Each row has a recipient email address.  Some rows have the same recipient email address.

 

I need to create a mailmerge document that combines multiple rows of data to one recipient to end out as an email.  Utliizing the Directory option in the mailmerge toolbar, I've succeeded in doing this in creating a mailmerge physical document that has multiple rows of data per recipient (that takes 500 pages down to 210), however the physical form does me no good.

 

I'm in an office that doesn't allow for downloading and installing of any plugins, which leaves me to vba (of which my skills in that area is limited).

 

I've found and used the tutorial that macropod generated, however I am having issues with the macros to generate the emails...they error out. 

 

Please help; been stuck on this for a couple of weeks now, trying my hand at it as often as time allows.

 

Thank you all in advance. 

 

Sincerely,

WORD document?

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:14 AM PDT

I've downloaded the office 365 and have used the One Note extensively.  I am now trying to use the WORD, and everytime I click on a blank document icon....it doesn't open up. It keeps saying that WORD has to close and reopen.  I cant get to work on any document.  I even tried to open old documents in the new version of WORD and the same thing happens?  Any suggestions?

Create Hover Popup for Words in Document Terms Glossary

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 10:07 AM PDT

In our department our Word docx documents tend to have a glossary table near the beginning that have two columns.  The left column has a term or abbreviation and the right column has a definition.  Is there some way to set it up so that when someone is reading the document and they hover words in the document that are in the glossary, that a pop-up, tool tip kind of thing will display the definition?  I understand that having the document automatically recognize words outside the table as words inside the table is probably asking a bit much.  But if I could apply a style, or a cross reference of some sort, that should be pretty good.  It would be good if the defined words had some visual queue that they had pop up definitions.

 

If some sort of VBA would be needed, it would need to be something that could be hidden in a template and used by people that have no clue about VBA.

 

Our office uses a mix of Office 2007 and 2010.

graphics and text on same page - can't copy all and paste

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 09:56 AM PDT

I do alot of flyers for our local volunteer organizations.  Using word 2003, I could group all the text boxes together, then select all and then copy and paste to my email server.  Now using word 2007 I can't "select all" to copy so now the graphics are not pasting into my email.  I do not want to do an attachment, since most of those I email prefer the flyer in the actual email.   I tried using the graphics as is or inside a text box. Same with the text, inside a text or outside. I have to use the graphics since many are the logos or letterhead of the group

 

So question is how can I get the complete flyer with graphics and text as a whole document to be pasted into an email.

Arabic Numerals in Word 2013 Mailings field

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 08:36 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013 Mailings to print out lists. I create the lists in excel and insert them in word via Mailings. The fields in excel contain numbers which I want to be displayed in Arabic numerals, like the rest of the text. But no matter what I do, it's always displayed in English numerals. I can directly type in Arabic numbers and all, the issue arises when I use Mailings.

 Any help is highly appreciated.

office version

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 07:01 AM PDT

Hi guys

I have ASUS notebook S400CA,  windows 8 (64 bits). just bought it recently (10 days ago) and I installed office 2013 Home & student, directly download from Microsoft,  it was working with me fine but today it hanged up little bit as I use it with other software's like EndNote x7, so I opened the task manager and wanted to close it from there.

in the task manager, under word, it was mentioned ( Microsoft word (32 bits) ), which made me to wonder if I downloaded the wrong version or is it one version but working for both (32, 64). I wanted to contact support via email but I couldn't find proper channel to contact, so I thought to ask for the experts advice and if there any link or email I can contact them, please provide me with.

thanks

Adding different headers and footers in Microsoft word

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 04:00 AM PDT

Good day


Is it possible to have different headers and footers for a landscape and portrait page in one document, thus when you add a landscape page it needs to automatically use the landscape header and footer?

We've looked into section breaks, but then one needs to add a new header manually…


Or is there another way to set up a document to make it issue to switch between headers and footers for different pages?

pasting into Word 10 changes destination-document formatting

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 03:54 AM PDT

Hello,
I am working in Word 10, using in the same document both English as my "Latin text" (Left to Right, formatted Times New Roman, 11 pt. unbold) and Arabic as my "complex script" (Right to Left, formatted Times New Roman, 14 pt. bold). These are the default settings I have chosen for these languages, through the Font dialog box. The problem occurs whenever I paste anything from another document into any document using both English and Arabic. What happens is that when I paste anything, all the bolded Arabic characters throughout the destination document (where I am pasting to) change from bolded to unbolded. The options in the paste dialog box (match destination formatting, paste only words, not formatting, etc.) are useless in this regard -- since they affect only what is being pasted. And if I undo the paste, I am still stuck with all the Arabic in the document now unbolded, even though if I open the Font dialog box in the document, it still shows that complex scripts should be bold by default. There is now way to "undo" to return to my bolded formatting. I must redo it all by hand, every time.
This seems to be some kind of funky glitch. Has anyone else experienced something similar by chance? Is there a solution? Can it be worked around, so that I can paste things into a document without affecting the formatting of part of the destination document? (This is the only change that occurs--all the Arabic in the destination document switches irreversibly to unbolded...).
Any and all helpful advice would be appreciated!

macro to copy chart from excel not working

I found this code from Hans Vogelaar that copies a chart from one book and a range from another book into a Word document. The macro seems to fail the point of copying the chart. I am using Office 2010 so if there is anyone who could shed light on why this fails I'd be very grateful.

What is default line spacing and spacing after inside a Word 2010 and a Word 2013 table?

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:01 PM PDT

As far as I know, these are the defaults

Word 2010 and 2013 both have these settings for a table that appears alone on a page: Spacing Before, 0; Spacing After, 0; single line spacing

But sometimes, it seems a Word 2010 table within a document uses Spacing Before, 0; Spacing After, 8; multiple line spacing at 1.08 when it is in the middle of a document. Any explanations? I know in other versions of Word, font size inside tables could be erratic. Thanks in advance. 

Removing "running head" headers from all but the first page.

If you have the English language version

It's still not really clear what you're asking, especially in light of

executable. There is in linux a 100% guarantee that the filename alone
means absolutely nothing as to whether the file itself is executable or
not. I could cp /bin/ls myinsanefilename and voila! myinsanefilename is an
executable.

But perhaps, if you clarified what exactly you're trying to accomplish,
you can get a clearer answer.

Hi,

Thanks so much for all of your help, it is very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, I have not got it working :( and even worse, I'm
approaching the final stages of my post-grad semester and am a little
pushed for time to say the least, so its back to windows XP :(.

I got so close though, machines could ping each other, samba worked and
I could access folders on the linux pc from windows boxes (even though
after a few hours it magically stopped itself, hmm) and the internet
stayed connected perfectly - but the coursework deadlines are looming!

I have saved all your responses, so when I have some spare time I'll
try it again (you may hear from me again in the future!)
Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:52 PM PDT

I am writing a macro to have the user select a bunch of documents (code not shown) via the File dialog and then my code is opening up each document and testing if there is a phrase in the header of the document (just the header though to prevent mismatches).  Just cannot get the "Find" to work on a template with the known phrase in it.  What am I doing wrong.

Note: loFileDialog has already been set up and vars initialized.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

' loop through list of documents and for each, open them, checking for letterhead "marker" and update them if they
' are a letterhead

For Each lcFilePath In loFileDialog.SelectedItems

    ' attempt to open the template
    Set loDocument = Application.Documents.Open(lcFilePath)
   
    With loDocument
   
       ' set a range object to the header in the first section; note that there should always be a "primary" header (with
       ' the "first page" header being optional)
      
        Set loHeaderRange = loDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
   
        With loHeaderRange.Find
         
            ' this stuffed in by macro recorder: clear any formatting before starting
            .ClearFormatting
            .Replacement.ClearFormatting
   
            ' set up the Find box; do not match on case (to prevent admin person frustration); note to future users - you
            ' really need to make sure that the phrase chosen is only in "letterhead" type text and it should only be
            ' something in the header as principal's names are found elsewhere in the document
           
            .Text = "Member of the New York bar"
            .Replacement.Text = ""
            .Forward = True
            .Wrap = wdFindContinue
            .Format = False
            .MatchCase = False
            .MatchWholeWord = False
            .MatchWildcards = False
            .MatchSoundsLike = False
            .MatchAllWordForms = False
   
            ' Execute the find
            llFound = .Execute()
           
            ' if not found, do not touch this document: just close it (BELOW JUST TO SHOW RESULT)
            If llFound = False Then
               MsgBox ("Not found")
            Else
               MsgBox ("Found")
            End If
           
                       
        End With ' for With loHeaderRange.Find
     

you have exceeded the maximum number of pages in Word

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:41 PM PDT

I've only seen threads at least a year old on this subject, and there were several grumpy posters when they were added to.

 

My computer started doing this within the last 3 months, and on documents that are relatively small (<200 pages, <1 MB)  My IT guys have no clue.  It happens with both .doc and .docx files.  It seems to happen more often in documents with multiple links in them, which is a huge problem as I often have documents with captions, table of contents, list of figures, list of tables.  Does Word not work if one tries to use the full functionality of the program?  How do I fix this?  I have done a riduculous amount of rework the last few months.  Pretty soon my hand will be going through my monitor.

 

I'm running Office 2007 with Windows 7 Enterprise OS, Service Pack 1,  on a  64 bit system.  This machine was designed to run modelling programs and should be more than sufficient to run Word and has run fine for at least a year.  What do I tell my HelpDesk to do to fix this?   

First page footer in new section

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 11:57 AM PDT

I have a 24-page booklet that Word has divided up into sections and whose first page has no page number. Section 1 ends on page 6, and section 4 begins on page 7. (I don't know where sections 2 and 3 are, but that's not affecting the document). Page 7 has no page number. If I click in the footer, I see "First Page Footer -- Section 4." I don't want a first page footer. Other beginning sections have continuing, consecutive numbering with no first page footers. How do I get page 7 to appear?

Form Field Validation Question

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 10:22 AM PDT

 

Hello,

 

In Microsoft Word Form Fields – Legacy Tools, is there a way to add a validation to a Field after the other options are set?  Meaning if I set the Properties to 8 for Max Length, is there also a way like in Excel to alert the user if less than 8 characters are entered (meaning a disply prompt to alert them to complete the full 8 for Max Length if less entered)?

 

Thanks for you review and would like to perform this without using Macros if possible.

Trouble opening Word

I tried to use some of the suggestions l found in the Forum to open Word.  Now when I click on Word in the All Program list, the Windows Media Player opens instead.  I can still click on save Docs to open Work with no problem but not from the list and not when I download a template from Microsoft

Inability to see a private character in Character Map

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:21 AM PDT

I believe I have successfully created a private character in Private Character Editor.  I used default code E000 and saved the character to all fonts ) using  file EUDC (whatever that means).  Presumably I should be able to find my private character in my Arial Character Map so I can copy and paste it into my document.  Unfortunately, it would seem that my private character does not appear in Character Map.  I am using Windows 7 Professional and Office 2003.  Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Word 2010 won't open a blank document

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:08 AM PDT

A month ago I made up a quick fax letter head.  I printed the page and then just closed Word.  Now, everytime I open Word that document pops up and it has a name of Normal.dotm.  How do I get a normal blank document to appear?  How do I get templates I have made show up in the list of templates when I want to open a new document?  My earlier version of Word had them listed with Word's own templates.

How do I highlight long pieces of text to discourage lengthy writing

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 09:07 AM PDT

Hi, 

I get lots of documents in where authors rabbit on over many pages. I'd like a macro or schema that uses Highlight to color in text:

Yellow: When there are more than four lines in a paragraph

Red: When there are more than four paragraphs between headings

And Black (i.e., make it unreadable, as if the reader has passed out through boredom) if there is more than eight unbroken paragraphs 

Ideally, I'd just press a button and it parses the existing document without me having to do manual labor. 

Can't find anything in the archives. 

Cheers.

Macro shortcuts don't work after code module rename

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 07:49 AM PDT

For years, I've had a few macros in a code module named "NewMacros" in the Normal project. I can't recall now how it got that name, but I decided to rename it to "MyMacros", which I did. Now none of my keyboard shortcuts assigned to those macros work.

I tried executing the macros manually from the Developer tab and they work fine that way.

I tried reassigning the shortcuts. All of the macros are listed, but even a reassign, either to the original shortcut or to a new one, doesn't get them to work from the shortcut.

I also tried restarting Word and rebooting the computer.

If I rename the module back to "NewMacros", then everything works fine. Surely the module doesn't have to have that exact name, does it?

Can anyone help me out of this?

Thanks

Word Heading and table Numbering

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 06:22 AM PDT

Having got an understanding of heading numbering I want to see if the following can be done?

My document has numbered headings for each section. Within certain sections I have a series of tables. Each table has a numbered title and numbered sections.

Currently I used word numbering for the section headings (ToC) and table descriptions, that works fine. However I manually enter all the numbered titles and entries that appear in the body of the table.

Can I auto number these lines as well? One concern is that the heading maybe number 5, the first table under this heading is table 1 and line entries in the actual table would be 1.1, 1.2 etc.

Reason is I may need to add another table earlier on in the document which means a lot of manual updating!

Removing highlighting

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 05:02 AM PDT

Hi, 
       There's a problem when I use Word and OneNote. If I highlight text in OneNote and transfer it to Word, the highlighting can't be removed. The same thing happens when I copy highlighted text from somewhere on the internet. How do I remove the unnecessary highlighting in Word? Please help.

Removing highlighting

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 04:57 AM PDT

Hi, 
   I have a problem when I shift text from OneNote to Word. If I've highlighted a paragraph on OneNote and then copy it to Word, the highlighting still remains. This even happens when I copy text from a website that has highlighted words. For this reason, I have to remove the highlighting in the OneNote document itself and then shift content to Word. Is there any feature in Word which can allow me to remove all highlighting which is otherwise not removable?
  Thank you,

Office 2013 custom template as default

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 12:48 AM PDT

Please can anybody tell me how I can set my custon templates to default in the new page?

Frankly I don't care much about online or any other templates. I use mine for my bussiness and I don't like it that I have to change to personal on the tab everytime I want to open a new document.

I think it is very annoying for the users that Microsoft doesn't set that as the standard option.

My excuses for my poor english...

Legal Pleading Wizard captions

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 10:54 PM PDT

I wondered if it was possible to add custom caption boxes to the Legal Pleading Wizard for Microsoft Word 2003?  As it stands, the wizard offers five choices, including no caption at all, and I want special captions that I make available when I use it.  The four captions it offers have to be stored somewhere!  I know that newer versions of Word have quick parts, templates and other methods for such creation, but I simply want to use this wizard interface to make my legal templates.  Any suggestions?  Thank you! :)

Word 2010 error using macro Selection.Sort: Run-time error '9125': String Passed can't be parsed

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 09:36 PM PDT

Using Selection.Sort within a Word 2010 macro where FieldNumber is "Field 2" or greater, an error is generated.

 

The error generated is:

Run-time error '9125': String Passed can't be parsed

 

This line works fine:

Selection.Sort ExcludeHeader:=False, FieldNumber:="Field 1", SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending, Separator:="=", SortColumn:=False, CaseSensitive:=False, LanguageID:=wdEnglishUS, SubFieldNumber:="Paragraphs"

 

But this line generates an error (only difference is "Field 1" was changed to "Field 2":

Selection.Sort ExcludeHeader:=False, FieldNumber:="Field 2", SortFieldType:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending, Separator:="=", SortColumn:=False, CaseSensitive:=False, LanguageID:=wdEnglishUS, SubFieldNumber:="Paragraphs"

 

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231631) indicates it was a problem in WD2000, but I would expect this was addressed since "Paragraph" and "Field 1" works.

 

Curious if MS ever fixed this in future versions.

Thank you.

Automatic capitalization after opening quotation marks

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:59 PM PDT

I'm trying to write character dialogue in Word 2007 (Office edition).

What I get: (previous sentence)
                 "so," he said, "why are you here?"
                 (next sentence)

What I want: (previous sentence)
                   "So," he said, "why are you here?"
                   (next sentence)

In other words, I'd like Word to automatically capitalize the first word in the sentence after a hard carriage return and after opening double-quote marks.

I've already got Autocorrect capitalizing the first word in sentences, but it seems as if the Autocorrect sees the " as the first word and doesn't see the actual word after them as being the 'first word'.

Is there any way to set this up automatically?

Email association problems.

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:21 PM PDT

Email association problems.

 

When I try and send something to Mail Recipient, the following message comes up, can someone please talk me through the steps to associate my Mail, or yahoo mail (prefer yahoo mail) on windows 8 please?

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

 

I have been into the default programs control panel and tried to do it myself but I must be missing a step to allow this to happen. Thanks in advance.

Problem opening a document in desktop Office from Office Web Apps

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 04:10 PM PDT

Hi,

 

Using SharePoint Online I can do the following:

  1. Open a document directly into desktop Office
  2. Open a document directly into Office Web Apps to view and edit

But I cannot click the "Open in Word" option in Office Web Apps and then open the document in desktop Office. Instead we get the message "Sorry but to open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft word and a browser that supports opening files directly from web apps" and then it tries to use Office on Demand.

 

We're running Office 2013 on the desktops, using IE10 (32 bit) and Windows 7 (32 bit) operating systems.

 

For some reason when trying to open from OWA to the desktop version of Office OWA thinks Office is not installed on the computer.

 

Any ideas how we can fix this?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

How can I format a table such that it does not break the formatting of my paragraphs?

Posted: 18 Aug 2013 03:55 PM PDT

Hello,
I am trying to insert a picture and its caption within a table in a document. I can format the table so it wraps the text and stays put at the top of the page. The issue is that it seems to break up the paragraph formatting. If I insert it at the beginning of a line mid-paragraph, it wants to break apart the paragraph at that line. However, if I add on to a paragraph before where the table is positioned, the table stays put but the broken paragraph does not re-form. If I try to delete the space and re-form the paragraph, the table is deleted as well.

Is there any way to insert the table so it doesn't break up the paragraph? If not, is there an alternate way to insert a picture with its caption?

Thanks!
