How do I sync the page numbers in the TOC with the actual page in the document?

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:42 PM PDT

I am trying to sync my page numbers listed in my TOC with the actual page number that it is in the document.  Some Headings may be more than one page, so each heading will be a different number.  And can it auto-sync if we move something around or change the order? We might be changing the parts in red but the title will always be the same, so if the page number can follow the header title?

 

Example:  Right now i have this table of contents

Everything shows pretty much page 7 right now.  When technically the page number for S-1a is 6, S-1b is 8, S-1D is 11 and so on.  I hope this is making sense, its hard to explain.  i have tried doing plenty of research and cant find anything on what im talking about.

 

Please help if you can....

Thanks.

I have a new pc w/windows 7/You gave me a key for office 2013 I think you should change that

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:34 PM PDT

I just purchased a Hewlet Packard desk top . I had a Dell with windows xp. now I have windows 7. I m '76 years old and having a hard time getting used to the upgrade. I purchased OFFICE  Home and Student 2013. I don't know if I made a mystake?If this program is as confusing as windows 7, I may have to cancel. also if this program has storage than I don't need the online vault, that wouldn't make sense.I purchased both.I am writing a book with Dragon Naturally Speaking. I would like a program that would help me to set up format appropriate to manuscript writing. Dragon does not indent paragraphs or do double spacing. will this program help me with that or am I wasting my money. I don't use the pc for very much else. the program offers too many things that I will never use.

When trying to use the "Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit", receiving message "A device attached to the system is not functioning"

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 02:21 PM PDT

I am trying to use the "Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit" in Windows8 6.2.0092

Upon clicking the shortcut on the desktop I get the error as shown above.

 

It seems to work on a different machine running Vista, but the reason I bought this W8 machine is because the keyboard is kaput on the Vista machine.

word docs converted to open office

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 01:25 PM PDT

I use Word 2010 and also have Open Office 4.0.0.  Since I updated Open Office, all of my word files are converting to Open Office.  This includes new documents created in Word and old documents already on file.  The only way I can change a doc., sometimes, is to open it in Open Office, cut it, open Word and paste it, then save it in rich text format.  How do I stop this Open Office takeover?

Word 2007 Save As Dialogue Box disappears

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 01:01 PM PDT

We have Windows 7 and use Office 2007.  The scenario is that a user saves a document and the dialogue box comes up.  The user then toggles over to another program (let's say Outlook) and then toggles back to Word.  The dialogue box isn't there anymore.  It looks like Word is frozen because the box is open, but you can't see it or get to it.  When you hover over the Word icon on the task bar, it's not there.  We have told people how to Alt-Tab until they see the Word icon and click on it; that will bring the box/window forward and they can continue to save their document.  Anybody know how to fix that?

Clear Font & Paragraph formatting

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:40 AM PDT

I have to create 100's CVs
Mostly from pre-formatted documents

I want to 
  1. Clear all text formatting
  2. Clear all paragraph formatting (line spacing)
  3. Set margins
  4. Set whole document to Arial 12

I plan to record a macro
Only thing I cant find is (2) a method of clearing all paragraph formatting back to default - I see a default button but the prompt/warning seems to suggest that it wants to update the default settings from the selection instead of apply them to the selection

Question - how do i clear all Paragraqph formatting back to default?

Page 1 is showing as Page 0

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:01 AM PDT

I have inserted fields to show Page 1 of 20 etc on each page.  I have done this across numerous documents - all are fine except one of them which is showing the first page as page 0 instead of page 1.  There are no section breaks above it, and I can't find anything 'different first page'. 

I'm stumped, can anyone help?

Thanks.

Word could not recover Building Blocks.dotx

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:56 AM PDT

While working on a Word macro, Word started crashing. This happened 4-5 times in a few hours. At one point, the macro got into an infinite loop. I used Ctrl+Break to interrupt it. I don't recall if the first Word crash happened before or after the infinite loop.

After one crash, I got a pop-up message saying "Word could not recover an automatically saved document from the last session. (C:\...\1033\Building Blocks.dotx)

I have tried restarting Word and rebooting the computer. The computer reboots without errors and Word restarts without errors.

I searched the KB and found a link to a page that offered to fix the problem for me. Here's the link:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925175/en-us#FixItForMeAlways

The instructions said I would get a pop-up asking me if I wanted to Run something. But when I clicked on the Fix It button, I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to Save a file named MicrosoftFixit50722.msi. I said "Yes", it saved the file, then did nothing.

Is the problem with Building Blocks.dotx caused by or causing the Word crashes?

What do I need to do to recover?

PS: I did a search of my hard disk for "Building Blocks.dotx". This is what I found:

10/27/06 08:32 Building Blocks.dotx.save
10/27/06 09:32 Building Blocks.dotx
10/27/12 11:32 ~$ilding Blocks.dotx.save
10/27/12 11:32 ~$ilding Blocks.dotx

They are all in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033.

Inserting backgrounds into select table cells in word 2010

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:47 AM PDT

Hi, I need help in how to insert a background image into select cells into a an Avery template. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I am printing labels with a coloured background (that is an image) on 8 1/2 x 11" paper. there are 50 labels per sheet.

Template WL-1000 is here http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/wl-ol1000.htm

I inserted the background into the entire sheet via pagelayout and it printed great. I am using white font on a black mottled background.

However, I don't want to print 50 labels each time! Sometimes I may need to print only 3 or 4 at a time. But if I print the black background for the entire page with only a few labels, the remaining ones will be unusable (ie it will only be black).

Is there a way I can insert the background image only into individual cells when I'm not printing a full sheet?

Thanks!!!

MS Word and Excel quit working

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:37 AM PDT

I have the Student Teacher MS Office 2003. Word and Excel both quit working.  I get an error message that says I have a corrupted file, X112.cab, whatever that is. I can't find my original disks. I have found a used disk in a store that I could buy for 10.00.  However it will have a different serial number than my program. What should I do?  Should I completely uninstall mine?  Should I install the new one over the top of the old one and hope that the file x112.cab will work? Can I find x112.cab online someplace, and is there a way to install it?  I've checked my computer (Windows 7) for worms, viruses, and malware three different ways, and I have none. Suggestions?  thanks, Bill

Word 2013 works for one user but not others on same pc

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 08:59 AM PDT

I have installed a purchased copy of Office 2013. I am able to launch and use Word 2013 when logged on with my profile. Other users on the same pc are able to launch Word 2013, but are unable to create or open existing Word documents (.doc or .docx). It doesn't throw an error, simply goes away and displays that Word has encountered an error. Users only recourse is to acknowledge the error, which then throws them out of Word.

How to prevent minimized word documents from expanding when I open another document

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 08:23 AM PDT

I have a Word document that I keep open with the window minimized on the taskbar all day long at work.  Every time I open another word document, it expands the minimized document as well as the document I just opened.  Then, I have to close the new document and minimize the always-open document to get back to my desktop.

 

Is there a way to prevent this?

Unable to download 2012 Calendar Templates in Word 2010

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 06:27 AM PDT

Non-admin users seem to be able to download all templates in Word 2010 EXCEPT any under 2012 Calendars.  Admin users can download those templates fine.  I have found that this was a known issue in Word 2007, but supposedly did not affect 2010....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665200

The article has a screenshot of the exact error message my users see when trying to access a 2012 Calendar template. I realize that the templates can be manually downloaded from the website and stored somewhere, but why doesn't the built-in function work?

Environment is XenApp 6.5 running on Server 2008 R2.  Published Word 2010 app.


Am I the only one?


Thanks,

Dilemma with pharagraph settings when using enter key

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 05:51 AM PDT

Hi this is a split from Forum issues short thread at this time split by Emily,

Seeking possible happy minimum setting to turn off in word doc's paragraph and paste features to resolve some format tags amplifying larger spaces than normal in the doc file it's self when pasting here at Answers forum.

I'm like most people I have canned responses and they come from word not notepad,

Brief descriptions and clickable links....

I uploaded the settings I'm currently using on a new doc,

http://sdrv.ms/13Kislh

Is there any setting I can turn off which would help the tags being amplified here,

Firedog suggested using Shift+Enter on page 2 instead of simply Enter to make new space for adding new content/ tutorials...

Because I do like to separate content to easier locate different sections and easily see where a section stops and another starts for coping from the doc,

Thanks in advance,

Cheers.

How do I make every first word in every paragraph bold?

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 05:38 AM PDT

I have a document with more than a hundred pages, full of definition paragraphs:

ABC: 142543748

DFR: 54484

DTHJ: 7648dh877

DGHH: 7484g6

Initially I made every definition bold (ie: "ABC: 142543748..."), but then restyled the document, which overrode all the bold definitions, and saved it without "versions" enabled.
What do I do from here? Manually changing everything would be ridiculous.

Ctrl + Page Up (BrowsePrev) and Ctrl + Page Down (BrowseNext) not working

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 04:27 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am using Word 2010 and in a number of documents the Ctrl + Page Up (BrowsePrev) and Ctrl + Page Down (BrowseNext) not working.

 

I know there is a difference from previous versions of Word in respect of the behaviour of the navigation pane. This is not that issue. This applies even when using the old fashioned "Advanced Find" box.  The behaviour is as follows:

 

I open Advanced Find (Ctrl + g, followed by Alt + d) - I then type in my search term and can repeatedly click "Find Next" to cycle through appearances of the search term. This works as expected.

 

If I then escape the Advanced Find box, I would expect that I can use Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down to cycle through the search term. This does not work. I checked and I have not reassigned the keyboard shortcut. Also, the arrows in the very bottom right that you would expect to achieve the same do not work. Nothing happens on pressing them.

 

I know also that it is possible to select difference "Browse Objects" for those shortcuts apply to. I definitely have the "Find" object selected.

 

In fact, I checked a different Browse Objects and that also did not work. E.g., I have 6 footnotes in my document, but browsing by footnotes does not work.

 

It may be something to do with the formatting of the document. When I "select all" and paste into a clear document with no formatting, it works as normal.

 

Thank you,

John

Printer Won't Print Microsoft Word OR Adobe Acrobat (PDF) Files!

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 07:13 PM PDT

This is urgent! I just started an online course and I need to print lots of material. I contacted my printer company and after an hour or troubleshooting, it became clear that Word was the problem. I can print web pages, notepad, etc. I can even print NEW word documents, but any documents sent to me via my instructor (or old documents saved to my computer) will NOT print. On a whim I converted them to a PDF file. It printed the first one, then refused to recognize any PDF files after that. This is happening on all 4 computers in my home. It's not just my computer, it's every single computer in the house! Please help!

How to have multiple rows show on a word table template output?

Posted: 22 Aug 2013 03:54 PM PDT

We have a computer system where the system generates a data file (behind the scenes) that is then used to create an output in word. We set up a word template for merging the oputput data points. For my output needs, I would like a data file format because I have names and addresses of 12K+ to send to a mail house. The suggestion was to create a word table template that I can then copy into excel. This works, however, I cannot seem to get more than one row of data onto a page. I have added the merge field "next" at the end of the last merge field in the last data column, I have added next at the beginning of the second row of data before the data field, I have added rows to fill a page (about 5) – nothing is working. Any suggestions please? I don't want to have 12K pages of data output.

I am on Word 2010.

Thank you for any input!

Hi Mary,

You might try following the steps for using the CleanUp Utility prior to
msconfig clean boot install.

Also at the bottom of that webpage there is reference to a couple of
Microsoft Knowledge base articles you might want to look at.

If you have a second DVD or CD drive you might try installing from there.

Check your account type by opening the control panel/user

Microsoft article I linked for you MSKB 308421.


Most likely the CD-RW drive is "owned" by the default
administrator account which is the hidden account. But also
your user account is also an administrator level account
because most user accounts are setup by default as an

Works Collections: How can the Souce Location be changed for Item

Posted: 03 Sep 2005 10:21 AM PDT

Hi DS,

Perhaps, for images

Open a Works Database

Create two fields, 'Image' and 'Description'.

Go to List View

Open Portfolio

Choose the collection you wish to reference.

Drag the image(s) to the 'Image field in the database.

Enter a description in the Description field.

Continue with as many collections and images as you wish.

Add whatever fields you require to 'index' the records

Go to Form Design view and resize the 'Image' field.

Thereafter, use the database to search for particular images.

Whilst there are currently no upgrades for recent versions of
Works, they are upgrade eligible for Office 2003, if required.

hp printer

Yes the printer shows up, but if you ask to do a printer set up works reports
it cant find the printer, after running the printer set up program all is
fine unless you restart the pc then you're back to the same problem!, very
frustrating.

prevent duplicate records

Posted: 31 Aug 2005 02:06 AM PDT

Hi Raymondo,

Thanks to Ken for locating Rodney's solution that utilises the report
SUMMARY features of a Works database.

By GROUPing entries, by the chosen concatenated (chained) fields
of Last Name and Address, the report effectively COUNTs the
number of instances of each unique record entry.

A record GROUP with COUNT value of more than 1 is duplicated.

However, care must be taken when using this method to ensure that
SORTing and GROUPing is applied to the concatenated field and
not the original field.

For instance, if a concatenation had been fomed to identify uniqueness
from using a field that contains the date of birth (STRINGed), then
individual family members, occupants of the same premises would
be classed as 'duplicates'.

The concatenation operator in Works is the ampersand character &
Therefore to concatenate two fields say, 'LastName' and 'Address',
into one 'Identity' field, we could use the following formula in a field
named 'Identity.

=LastName & Address

Of course, you may require a more specific concatenation to provide
true uniqueness.

A concatenation formed with FirstName, Initial, LastName & Address
will generally allow individual family members to be identified, though
this could not be guaranteed. Using the date of birth also would allow
parents and children who share same names to be identified separately.

Numbers, such as dates and times must be converted to text before
they can be concatenated.

For the example above, to include birthday in the concatenation, we
could use:

=LastName & Address&STRING(Birthday,0)

Office XP with manditory profiles

Posted: 07 Jan 2005 09:00 AM PST

No Joy. I installed the tool. Then I granted the user I log on as to
create the profile administrative rights. Set the profile so it's not
mandatory. I logged on, ran the Office applications, entered the user
name and made setting changes. Then I logged off, rescinded the admin
rights, renamed the profile directory and dat file so it's mandatory
again. Logged on and when trying to start Word I get the installer
progress bar then Word opens and asks for the user name and initials. So
frustrating! I can't figure out what I'm missing here.

Where is the Office Tool Bar in office 2003?

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 01:39 PM PST

I am me wrote: 


Another NSF. If you'd spent five minutes searching or RTFH you'd have found
your answer. The OSB is obsolete. Reason? Office 2003 only installs on three
operating systems (2000 (SP3+), XP and 2003) and they all have innate
functionality that renders it so. You can create a new toolbar (on the
standard Windows toolbar) that performs the same function. I have *never*
used the OSB - ever and I've been using Office (or its components) for over
15 years.

1) Open the drive Office is installed on.
2) Navigate to the Office folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office 11)
3) Open another instance of your same drive and create a new folder in
the root
4) Name the folder Office and drag the Office executables to it and
shortcuts will automatically be created. Do this for as many apps as your
version of Office contains (I have Pro, and I have added Visio and Project,
so I have 9 icons in that folder).
5) Create a new folder within that one and name it 'Tools'.
6) To this one add anything that isn't a main Office program (I'm talking
about the Language Settings, Document Scanning, etc that isn't a main
application).
7) Right click the Toolbar and select 'create new toolbar'
8) Navigate to the folder you have just created and click 'OK' You will
now have a new toolbar that will perform the same functions as the OSB.

Can not patch Office XP

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 10:10 AM PST

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the information. According to the MS web site SP3 is
supposed to included all previous patches. At least that's the way I
read it.

I will try it your way since I have not had any luck and was about to
give up Office XP.

Thanks, I've already installed it, but it doesn't work correctly. On Windows
98, it used to put links in the start menu. It doesn't in Windows 2000. In
the programs menu, instead of having a link to Office, there is a link to
Office Setup. Also, everytime I start Windows, my dialer pops up. I can't
seem to tell it not to do so.

Running Office 2000 & 20003

Posted: 05 Jan 2005 11:21 AM PST

You might want to give Virtual PC a try then. There is a 45 day trial
download available on Microsoft's site. The beauty of that solution is that
you do not need to shutdown and restart the Windows session to have access
to the other version of Office.
