| MS Word 2010 Text Formatting Problem Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:23 PM PDT Hi Microsoft Community,
I've been trying to copy text from one word document to another, but when I paste the text from the donor document into the recipient document, the formatting changes.
I know this is caused by the difference in formatting styles from one page to another but although I've pasted using the option of keeping source formatting, it still mucks up the order of text and words aren't on lines where they should be as per the donor document.
Note: I am pasting this onto a section break page but the problem still persists on a page break.
Could you please give me a solution.
Thanks in advance.

| Cannot print readable barcode in Word 2010 Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:01 PM PDT A barcode label I print-merge from Word 2010 is unreadable by my Symbol(r) scanner. For that matter, my phone can't read it. HOWEVER, Printing the same text, copy-and-paste into Excel 2010, produces a readable barcode! I last made a set of labels when I had Word 2007, if that's any clue I printed to the same printer each time, an HP LaserJet. I tried flipping settings: PostScript over text, print in grayscale, best quality, draft quality, etc. I know I have to place asterisks, to wit: *BARCODE* What setting am I missing? So, what is the difference in how Word and Excel print??!!!?!!!? |

| Headers Microsoft Word Posted: 28 Aug 2013 12:57 PM PDT Hi I have a 600 page document that I need to print out but I noticed a mistake in the header. When I changed the header on page 1, it did not change the other 599 pages. Please tell me there is an easy, quick way to change the header to all 600 pages? I'm using Microsoft Office 2010 and it's supposed to be the same header for every single page. Thanks so much! |

| Table breaking across pages - keep with next not working Posted: 28 Aug 2013 11:01 AM PDT I have several tables in my Word 2010 document that are breaking across pages. They are two row, single column tables with a picture in the top row and the caption in the bottom row. The caption is ending up on a different page from the picture. I am familiar with using "keep with next" in the paragraph properties for the top row to solve this problem, and it works in a "test" document, but not in my "real" document which is a long and complicated report. This isn't a problem with individual rows breaking across pages (I have disabled that in table properties).
Any thoughts about where else to look to solve this problem? |

| Office 2013 won't print PDFs Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:36 AM PDT I have just installed Office 2013. When I try to print a document using any Office 2013 application (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) using Adobe PDF (version 9.5.5) the application locks up and says 'Not Responding'. If I open Office 2010 and print the same document as PDF there is absolutely no issue. So the problem appears to be with Office 2013. Can anyone help? Thank you. |
| paste nested table Posted: 28 Aug 2013 10:05 AM PDT I am working in Word 2007. I have a two cell table in a header, and I need to paste a nested single cell table into the left cell of the header table. I have to use this approach due to the inner workings of an external Mail Merge based tool. That nested single cell table has row and column dimension control that is required. So, once I have this done in one document, I would of course like to copy/paste into other documents. But when I paste just the single cell table, Word deletes the table and leaves me with the contents in the left cell of the parent table. This happens even when I choose Paste as Nested Table. I am hoping someone has a setting to turn of "Word over think" behavior so it will just do as it's told. Or an alternative workflow. Or even just verification that this is a bug that got fixed in a more recent version.
Thanks, Gordon |

| How to buy in South Korea Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:33 AM PDT Hi,
I'm interested in buying office 2013 for one computer only. I just have 2 questions. If I buy office 2013 in South Korea (where I am currently working), will the programs still be in English? I can't read any Korean so....
Also, if I get a new computer but I deactivate the one on this one and reinstall it on another computer, will it still work/count as a registered product?

| What do I need to be aware of before switching to dotm templates from dot? Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:25 AM PDT Hi all,
Customer has a large number of templates (150 or so) and am about to do an update to most of them (automated thankfully). They are all older .dot templates. I was thinking of updating them all to .dotm while I was at it.
But before I do that, is this going to cause me a lot of work because of some unknown (by me that is) landmines that I might be triggering e.g. will I have to go around to each PC (about 35 of them) and update any security settings? And is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Thanks,
Albert Gostick

| Can i Delete from an oracle table using word vba. Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:24 AM PDT
ok so using the active x data objects 2.1 to load data from a database (oracle) and i get my select statement working perfectly and i can read the data into vba variables for messing about with in VBA!
However i have a one off requirement to delete one row of data off the data base after i have read it in.
Any idea's on how to delete it? trawled the web and all the answers are based on access. i have tried to modify those things but had little success. i believe this needs to be run as a command instead of into a recordset?
any help would be appreciated.

| Mail Merge Edit Recipient Easy Click Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:12 AM PDT When I export an excel list to word in the mail merge program, I have the option to edit recipient list after selecting my file. When I get to the edit recipient list, I have a list/line of boxes I can check to include or exclude names/items from the list, choosing which ones will end up as labels. It requires clicking on sometimes hundreds of boxes. In Quickbooks, I can hold down the right mouse key and scroll down the list, which checks all the boxes as I scroll through. Let go of the right mouse button and the process stops. Is there any way to have this kind of functionality with the mail merge edit recipient process? |
| Opening new document from template Posted: 28 Aug 2013 08:05 AM PDT I've been having this problem for a while now when trying to create a new document, either on Word 2010 or Excel 2010. I click on File -> New. Then if I double click on the "Blank workbook" or "Blank document", nothing happens. I have to click once to select the template, and then hit enter. It's not a major nuisiance, but I would rather be able to double click as I used to do. I'm using Office 2010. |
| Word 2013 - why extra step to open a document? Posted: 28 Aug 2013 06:13 AM PDT in Word 2010 you just open Word, then do - File
- Open, and it opens your Documents library.
in Word 2013 you open Word, then - Open
- computer
- NOW you see your documents library, and can open it
okay, so I know it is just an extra step, but users are complaining.
is there any way to make it more like 2010?

| border printing problem Posted: 28 Aug 2013 06:03 AM PDT When I use Word 2010 to create a border around text or a picture the border will not print. It shows on the preview page but will not print. I didn't have this problem when I first purchased the Office Home and Student 2010 software. This is a recent problem. 2007 word documents print fine. Any suggestions? |
| Can't open office files which are for previous version or in protected view Posted: 28 Aug 2013 03:34 AM PDT When I get some office files (word, excel, etc) which are saved in previous version (I'm using Office 2013) or get files which are in protected view, I can't open them and when I clicked on them, just word splash screen (the small blue -for word- screen which start add-ons, and load setting) showed up and it stops on that and I have to close that splash screen. What is the problem? |
| Can't Remove Mystery Table Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:46 AM PDT All the text in my 74-page document is in a table. The table is preventing my book from being published by Smashwords. I use Word 2007, but the document has to be saved as Word 97-2003. Other books formatted at the same time, using the same Styles menu have published OK. In this one, each paragraph seems to be in a row. When I click on borders, the table shows. If I click in the table, the table tools ribbon does not appear, so I can't convert to text. No table menu appears if I right click. Pasting to Notepad & back does not destroy the table. Pasting to Excel and back as un-formatted text does not remove the table. Pasting one line of the text from Notepad to Word brings the table formatting back with it, so I can't even rescue the text a line at a time. I would be so grateful for help. |

| Can you change a film's reference to display a film's director as the author, rather than the film's screenwriter? Posted: 27 Aug 2013 11:27 PM PDT I'm referencing a Feature Film (Se7en) in my essay, but when I reference it (Chicago 16th Edition) it uses the film's writer as the author, when in fact it should be the director:
(Walker 1995)
Walker, Andrew Kevin. 1995. Se7en. Film. Directed by David Fincher. Produced by Arnold Kopelson and Phyllis Carlylle. Performed by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. New Line Cinema.
When it should be:
(Fincher 1995)
Fincher, David. 1995. Se7en. Film. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker. Produced by Arnold Kopelson and Phyllis Carlylle. Performed by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. New Line Cinema.
Is there a way to change this? |
| Create a 3-column sorted list in a template Posted: 27 Aug 2013 08:35 PM PDT I am trying to create a template for meeting minutes using Word 2007. Ideally, I'd like to type a list of names in (the attendees), and have them automatically format into a 3-column list that's sorted alphabetically. I can think of a few ways to do this (e.g., using columns or a table), but I'm not sure how to have the list automatically sort when I enter the names. I'd like to avoid having people do the formatting manually, if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

| Formatting changes and fewer lines per page in word 2013 compared to 2010? Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:59 PM PDT I have 2-page documents created in Word 2010 that I opened on a new computer with Word 2013. All settings are the same (page size, fonts and points, spacing, margins, etc). The 2013 version is now 2.5 pages vs the original 2 pages using the 2010 version. Sentences are broken in different places and there are about 10 fewer lines per page in 2013. I tried to change the display option to 2010 but it didn't change anything. Is there any way to revert back to the original formatting? |

| Installed Office Home & Student 2013 on Windows 8 in February and worked, but now Word won't open Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:16 PM PDT When ever I attempt to open Word a box comes up asking me if I want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer. The program name is Microsoft Word, verified publisher: Microsoft Corp. Whether I click Yes or No I then get this message: We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now? When I hit repair now it as if I want a Quick Repair or online. I've done both and end up right back where I started when I attempt to open Word. I've uninstalled the program and reinstalled and still no luck. Excel, Powerpoint both work, just not Word. |
| How to get images to display in draft layout? Posted: 27 Aug 2013 05:11 PM PDT If I paste an image into a Word document, it is only visible in print layout (page mode), not in draft layout (normal view). But, if I first paste it into Visio and then paste that image into Word, it is visible in both layouts. I could not find a way to attach a Word document, so I created a screen shot as a JPG. I couldn't get that to upload (I kept getting "The connection was reset"), so I created a shared DropBox folder containing both the Word document and the JPG image. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o9ah4faeul14sq8/6CQUKgWs47
If I select the first image, I see square handles. If I click on the second image, I see round handles. Clearly, these images are being stored in different formats. My question is : How can I get all images to display in both print and draft layout? The "Show picture placeholders" option is not checked. Thanks |
| office 365 univerisity HELP!!! Posted: 27 Aug 2013 04:32 PM PDT Everytime I try using any of the Office 365, University programs (word, excell, pp) it completely crashes my computer and shuts it down. The program opens, and within 10 seconds, everything crashes. I have followed posts and tried starting in the safe mode and doing the repairs, but no luck. It was such an issue installing it, I don't really want to reinstall. I have the program for a month and not been able to use it once. I'm very upset with the program right now |
| Problems with "Save" Posted: 27 Aug 2013 04:32 PM PDT Hi everyone! I have been having a problema wjen saving files in Office. Whenever I hit the "Save" button or give the "Save" command, the process goes slow on me (veeeeeery sloooooooow), it takes more tan five minutes for it to process. I will be writting a document, I hit save, then the saving box appears and the process freezes. I can not cancel, allthough I can go to a different application (in Word or other). Any suggestions as to what may be happening and how I can fix this? this started about two weeks ago. thanks! |
| Yet again, Word is slow to close Posted: 27 Aug 2013 04:07 PM PDT Hello.
Yet again, another request for some ideas about how to "fix" the slow close in Windows. Points: 1) Purchased new Dell computer five days ago. 2) Installed Office 2010. 3) When I click on the "x" to close a word document, the little wheel goes round, and round, and round for about 3-5 seconds. Ultimately, the document closes. 4) Tried replacing Normal template. Not corrupted. No change. 5) Uninstalled. Ran CCleaner to remove leftover registry bits. Reinstalled. No change
One observation: When I open and close Word documents from a flash drive -- no problem. When I open/close from my hard drive = problem. Could I have a faulty hard drive?
Other suggestions?
Thanks. |
