| Word 2013 frequent crashed in Win 7 Pro Posted: 26 Aug 2013 02:48 PM PDT Please help! I have a paper due and I cannot figure this out. I have read several forum articles, so please read the whole post as I have tried many different potential fixes.
OK, so last night Word 2013 started crashing frequently. Originally, the problem seemed isolated to the command for pasting a chart linked from Excel, but now I'm getting frequent crashes when I do various things like saving or even opening documents.
The details of the error are:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: WINWORD.EXE Application Version: 15.0.4517.1003 Application Timestamp: 51a7523e Fault Module Name: oart.dll Fault Module Version: 15.0.4517.1003 Fault Module Timestamp: 51a750cd Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00000000005b75f8 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem: LCID: 1033 skulcid: 1033
As I mentioned above, I have read through many of the responses to similar questions, but none of them have worked or they have been for different versions of Word or different operating systems. If you post a response please check to make sure that you are posting something that is applicable to Word 2013 and Windows 7 Pro OR please let me know what I need to do that's different from the instructions that you provide.
I went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Office and ran a repair and restarted the computer. Didn't work.
I have tried to start Word in safe mode. However, the problem can be recreated even in safe mode.
Even though these instructions are for Word 2010, I tried to follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541. The only change that I remember is that I had to change some instructions to version 15.0 (Word 2013) rather than 14.0 (Word 2010). The results of the steps are as follows:
Deleting Word Data registry subkey - No change. Problem continues. Deleting Word Options registry subkey - No change. Rename Normal.dotm - No change. Note that when I tried to rename the file back to the original name (Normal.dotm) I got an error that the file already existed (because it was recreated by Word when I tested the fix). You actually have to go into the folder itself and delete the new file and then revert the old name back. Disable Startup folder add-ins - Running the command that the KB says to opens and empty folder, so this fix was not applicable. Delete the COM add-ins registry keys - did not fix the problem.
I have tried with success to recreate the problem in other word documents, so I don't think that this is a single corrupted document.

| Change Word 2010 Avery Label template margins on Windows 8 computer Posted: 26 Aug 2013 01:49 PM PDT My Windows 8 computer came preloaded with Word 2010. When I try to use the Avery 5160 label template, I have to space down at least one line and use the space bar to indent at least 3 spaces over for my text to fit within the template. (On the Windows 7, the text spacing was exactly spot on.) I have tried changing the margins within the labels, but they don't "hold", I have to do each label individually and it's a big pain! Windows 8 has me crying, "Uncle!" once again. I'm hoping someone out there will have a solution. Thanks! |
| Printing Page numbers Posted: 26 Aug 2013 01:13 PM PDT When I add page numbers in the footers they are shaded when the text is bold, and then the text is shaded when the page number is bold. The page numbers are there but they don't print! Help! |
| Mail Merge and Document Properties Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:37 PM PDT Each record of my mail merge data contains the Document Property "Title". My merge template file contains the <<Title>> merge field in the footer. This works great when I do a Letter merge. But how do I merge the Title field into a Directory merge with multiple records on the same page? The Title value will always be the same for every record but how do I get it to populate the Title in the Footer of the merged document?
Thanks!

| Is there any way to control the font size of a Mail Merge field by using the value of another Mail Merge field? Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:34 PM PDT I'm setting up a system to store mail merge data in a SQL Server database. The data is to be used to populate Word 2010 mail merge documents. The problem is that we will be creating many copies of these documents in multiple languages and alphabets against a graphic background, in fields that need to be of fixed size. As we all know, some languages require more space than others. Individually tweaking the font size would not be especially cost effective.
Is there any way to control the font size of a mail merge field by using the value of another mail merge field?
(This is strictly a mail merge set up. We are not using VBA on the Word side.)

| TimesNewRoman Font Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:28 PM PDT I'm having an issue in Microsoft Word 2010, where the font seems to spontaneously change from "Times New Roman" to "TimesNewRoman" (no spaces). The font without spaces doesn't appear in the font list. If I open up the font window it says "This font has not been installed. The closest available font will be printed". On the screen the font sometimes looks normal or like a courier new or arial font. Does anyone know what causes this or how to prevent it from happening? |
| How to disable Trust Center Message Bar (Office 2010 Professional +) Posted: 26 Aug 2013 12:16 PM PDT I work for an IT service desk at a university, and we have AD domain accounts for almost all users. Because of this, settings made on one user generally don't roll over to every user.
I need a way to disable the message bar in Office 2010 that will work for all users, not just a single user. This message bar is popping up in Word whenever our users open a document from the network, but these particular users are children. Children need as few distractions as possible, and it is an extra step for them that I'd rather them not have to do. |
| Time and Date options in "Developer" tab. Posted: 26 Aug 2013 11:33 AM PDT I've created a template and want the user to record the time and date when the form was completed. I've put the calendar item from the "Developer" tab in my form and selected the display option that records the current time as well as the date. The time reads "12:00 AM" and I don't know how to correct that. The time on my computer is accurate. Any ideas? |

| "I am using microsoft word 2010 and need to know how to eliminate the extra spacing between my words." Posted: 26 Aug 2013 10:27 AM PDT Here is what I'm talking about: Customer care representative and engineering tech within high-volume environments including clerical administration, call center/online support, retail sales, and production specialist. Eight years of supervisory positions. Seven years as an auditor in financial sales of three dozen retail stores. Execute high quality standards in administrative office work, written and verbal skills, customer care/communications and relationship building. One year as an engineering tech in research and development of silicon growth (HiCz) processes. Thirteen years of experience in the HiCz production. See how in the first sentence the spacing between words is doubled, but the rest of the paragraph is fine. Why is that and how do I fix that? Thanks, Tonia Okay I don't get it....... when I first copied and pasted my paragraph it showed the double spacing that I am talking about, but when I posted the question it changed it. What's up with that? So I will try and type a sentence to show you what I mean. I need help on removing double spaces between my words. It doesn't always affect the whole sentence or paragraph. Also back space doesn't work. Do you see what I mean? |
| Excel object in Word 2010 keeps stretching when trying to edit.

Here are screenshots of what is happening: I put some fake numbers into the 2nd screenshot to give an idea of what the numbers look like. Thanks for any help. |

| Problem exporting Arabic language text to PDFs from Word Posted: 26 Aug 2013 08:18 AM PDT We're running Office 2010 in Windows 7. I have a deskPdf print driver installed.
If the document to be exported to PDF has Arabic text, it shows up in the PDF as little squares, but apparently only if I export it from a document that has been mail merged. Exports directly from a Word doc where foreign alphabet text has been pasted directly in export to PDF correctly, either when I do a Save As or a deskPDF print.
I have no experience exporting foreign languages to PDF (and I've had no time yet to try other alphabets.)
How do I begin troubleshooting this problem? |

| How can I make Word's spell checker accept Latin phrases without adding bad English words? Posted: 25 Aug 2013 08:17 PM PDT I'm a law student and work at a legal organization. Phrases like mens rea are pretty common in my writing and I don't want to waste my time telling Word to ignore those words. However, neither "mens" nor "rea" are acceptably spelled English words. How can I make Word realize that a phrase is a legitimate thing without poking holes in spell-check's already pretty permeable typo and misspelling firewall? |

| Creating multi-file documents? Posted: 25 Aug 2013 04:31 PM PDT I remember Word 2000 (yes, I am that old) had a facility for creating documents spread over several files. I could use that facility at the moment (I am using MSW07) as I have a document that is becoming unwieldy in the monolithic state. Trouble is, I can't remember what the process was called so I don't know what to search for. What was it called? Does it exist in MSW07? If you happen to know off-hand, where can I find a tutorial on it? Thanks |
| I need help with styles in Word 2007 on PC Posted: 25 Aug 2013 04:27 PM PDT I'm trying to create a chapter heading style in Word 2007 where the first character in the word "Chapter" is font size 36 and the remainder of the word is font size 14, then the chapter number is font size 24. I can't find anywhere where I can specify different font sizes for individual characters or where I can select the entire chapter heading and designate that as a style that includes the different font sizes. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
