Microsoft Word - DOCX files from Microsoft Office Starter cannot be sent as e-mail attachments

Microsoft Word - DOCX files from Microsoft Office Starter cannot be sent as e-mail attachments

DOCX files from Microsoft Office Starter cannot be sent as e-mail attachments

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 03:09 PM PDT

Sometime last week, all my Office Starter Word docs were suddenly converted to Microsoft Office documents (a program I do not have on my computer). Now, without my doing anything, they have all been converted back-- but only if I open them in Word Starter. If I try to send any of them as attachments, all show up as Microsoft Office docs.

I tried attaching one in an e-mail to myself, but could not open it, even with the suggested Microsoft Client Virtualization Handler. Nothing happens when I do that and click "okay". Also cannot open DOCX files sent by others, as they too show up as Microsoft Office files, also un-openable by Virtualization Handler. So the issue seems to have been only partially fixed by Microsoft.

Anyone else found a way around this? Help!

Paste in Word tables without overwriting

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 02:42 PM PDT

While it is inconceivable to me that the default for pasting in tables is "overwrite", I will try to be kind and understanding.

So, as you have already surmised, my question is how to set "paste without overwriting" in Word 2010 tables as default.

Thank you!!!

Conditionally add text fields to Word 2010 form based on user selection from drop down control box

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 02:35 PM PDT

I created a 2010 Word form which includes a drop down list of different department names (this is the first field on the form). Their are many common data fields, date select boxes, and checkboxes which apply to all the departments. When a user selects their department I want to add text fields/check boxes to the form that are specific only to their department, in addition to the common fields. The department-specific data fields could be added at the end of the document. This form will be distributed to users whose PCs are not on the same LAN.

 

I am not familiar with VB - I've been reading and searching the discussion boards without success. Is there a fairly easy (I'm a newbie) way to do this?

 

Thank you very much for any help you can give!

Word 2010; Table; Restrict column width with vertical text

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 11:27 AM PDT

I have setup a table comprising cells with horizontal text and cells with vertical text.  Column widths and row heights must not be altered by the length of the string placed into any cell.  I have successfully enforced this.  I have also been able to prevent text wrapping within those cells formatted with horizontal text but not those that have vertical text.  How do I prevent words wrapping with vertical text?  Thank you.

Problems with Word 2013 and Equation Editor and Copy/Paste

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:09 AM PDT

I have been using Word, Excel, etc for quite awhile and have been experiencing problems with the most current version of Word 2013.  There are two different issues that seem to be quite frustrating and makes me want to find an older version of Office instead of using the most current software.  The issues that I'm experiencing are as follows:

First off, I use Word and Excel quite alot for creating reports or papers in an engineering style.  This in turn means that I'm doing a lot of interchanging of tables from Excel to Word.  Previously I have experienced great success in the 2010 software, by having the option when pasting from Excel to, "Paste as Picture".  The experience thus far for the 2013 software seems hit or miss when trying to "attempt" this.  When pasting graphs, I do manage to get the option to paste as a picture, however, when pasting tables the option is not there which is quite troublesome.  I do all of my formatting in Excel and thus have no need to keep editing options available in Word.  I simply want to paste a chart as a picture so that I may resize at will and have the option to easily put them in with text. 

Secondly, I am having issues with Word 2013 crashing consistently when using the equation editor.  I have not been able to replicate the issue based upon what I'm doing yet as it seems to be sporadic.  This occurs when I'm either deleting an equation that I've already put in the document, removing spacing between the equation and text or simply editing equations. 

I have never experienced these problem prior to using Word 2013, nor have I used Windows 8 with office prior to this point.  I do not know what the issues are here, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had these issues and if they know any tips and/or suggestions on how to get things to function more properly. 

Thanks, 
Andrew

Downloaded document is encrypted

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:08 AM PDT

I downloaded a document.  When I opened it, it was in encoded pdf.  The box it is in says, File Conversion -  (followed by the name of the document) .pdf

The instructions are:

Select the encoding that makes your document readable.
Text encoding:

Windows (Default)        MS-DOS         Other encoding:

On the right side of that is a box with language choices.

What do I do to convert this?  How do I fix this permanently?  It has happened before.

This is a personal computer so I don't need or want encoding.
I have Windows 7 64 bit, Microsoft 10, Google Chrome and Adobe XI.

Content Control bounding box closing tag missing

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:08 AM PDT

Why in these two content controls does the first example show no words at the end of [TITLE]  while end tag on the next one does? Does this have some significance in the function of the control or on user input? I noted that the first control uses the Title style and the second one uses Placeholder Text style. Don't know if this is related somehow. 

BTW, what is the name of the object I have marked with the red square--I'm calling it an end "tag," but I'm not sure if that's correct terminology. Thanks in advance.

Object aspect ratio reset macro in word 2010

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 09:33 AM PDT

I have Word docs with many linked Excel tables that are used within Profx Engagement. To deal with the old, old, old issue of linked images not pasting in at 100% I've tried to create a 2010 Word macro to do the following on a selected link image once it's pasted into Word:

 

Right click

Select Format Object

Go to Size tab

Deselect Lock aspect ratio

Click Reset

Click OK

Right click again

Select Format Object

Go to Size tab

Select Lock aspect ratio

Click OK

 

I tried using the macro recorder but that made every image the height/width of whatever I used to record the macro. Since the linked images change every time the document is opened/saved, this would save me a huge amount of time. Need a "real" macro to this and save my sanity.

 

There is a macro "out there" to lock aspect ratio. If it indeed works and could part of this macro, that would be great. Am I asking for too much? Too bad Microsoft can't fix the problem. It's been around for a long time.

Why does Word's inset text cursor sometimes default invisible, not visible?

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 08:26 AM PDT

The "insert text cursor" in Word 2010 flashes between visible and invisible, but its 'default' in some documents is set to invisible, not visible.  This means that when you use arrow keys to move the cursor, you have to keep stopping and waiting for it to show up to see if you are on your target, or if you haven't reached it yet or have overshot.

I don't know how to post a sample .docx file to illustrate this glitch...

Style Definition Change in Word Web App

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 04:21 AM PDT

I have been an MS Word user since 1987, through about 12 versions or so. And now at last I am trying out Office Web Apps. The very first thing that I want to do is change the "Heading 1" style definition.  This is almost the first thing that I do with any new document.

 

So, how does one change the style definition in the Word web app?

How to disable unnecessary notifications when saving docx to Word

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 03:32 AM PDT

I use Word 2003, and have no intention of changing as I dislike the ribbon. 

I recently installed my Word 2003 on a Windows 7 PC and find that whenever I need to save a docx document, I get the following warning message

''name.docx may contain features that are not compatible with Word 2007 Document format.  Do you want to save the document in this format?""

The answer is of course "Ýes" but I would prefer not to be asked this question every single time I save, which is tens of times per hour. 
How to disable this notification?

Template with multiple masters

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 03:16 AM PDT

Hello,

I am used to working with InDesign and am now trying to copy a letter-lay out in a template in Word (part of a house style).

I was very happy the find the new Publishing Layout view and have used this to set-up my headers an footers. I already succeeded in creating a document with different masters for different sections but found several problems:

The letter can contain one or two pages. In case of one page, this page should contain a header and a footer. In case of two pages (depending on the length of the text) the first page should have the header ( and the text should start lower on the page), the second page the footer (with the text starting higher on the page.

- If I use the option "Different first page" in the master page options, I cannot get the margins right. It is as if I can only set one set of margins. Also how can I make the first page master only display when there is only one page?

- If I set up two masters and use a section break, this seems to work, but when I clear the content of the document (to turn it into a template), the first master disappears and only the second is applied and saved.
How can I save multiple masters in an empty template?

Or is there a better approach than what I am doing?


Thanks in advance ;-)

I have a font problem when saving Word 2010 docs in PDF format

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 02:23 AM PDT

I was using Windows Vista and Office 2007 for creating documents that contained both English and Arabic Text.
I saved these docs in PDF mode and then uploaded them to ScribD.
I had no problems.

Recently, I changed to Windows 7 and Office 2010, now when I save these documents as PDF, I see no problem, but when they are uploaded to Scrib D, I find that there is a sort of grey shadow Arabic Letters, behind the Arabic text.

I wrote to ScribD and here is their answer;
"Thanks, Imtiaz. Unfortunately, this is a browser-related error that Scribd won't be able to resolve. Specifically, certain browsers may get confused when rendering this document since it may contain non-unicode characters. In testing, only Firefox seemed to render this document with the shadows you referenced.

 My only recommendation would be to regenerate the PDF with metadata that includes support for the non-unicode characters. That way, when Scribd attempts to render the document, browsers will be able to grab the fonts directly from the document instead of attempting (and failing) to display its own fonts"

So my Question:
How do I save a Word 2010 Document as a PDF document, where the PDF settings are as described above?

Thanks

Mail Merge for Labels

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 11:22 PM PDT

Excel links not maintaining format when updated in Word 2013

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 10:50 PM PDT

I have a problem where I have a table created in word, and certain cells in the table contain links to an excel spreadsheet that contains text in the cell (like a text description). I copy the cell I wish to obtain the information from, and do a special paste into a table cell with paste link -> unformatted unicode text. I then format the entire cell into the font and fontsize and bold/italics as needed. However, whenever the link is updated due to new content in Excel, the resulting table cell in Word does not maintain the formatting for the entire cell, instead having parts of it in the correct format, and other parts in the default format of the word document. 

I have messed around with settings and searched the internet for a week now to no avail (apparantly nobody ever saw this as an issue), but for my purposes where I would like to have as little human intervention as possible, I want to be able to not have to go into the document and fix every cell so the contents in individual cells are correctly formatted. It should be noted that the formatting between cells will be inconsistent due to the nature of the work, but the content inside a single table cell should be consistent, but an updated excel link changes the formatting if the new text contains a space that was not in the previous link. 

To replicate this, Create a table cell in word, assign any formatting other than your current default (such as changing font size to size 7, add bold and italics), then link a cell with random text in excel via special paste by going paste options -> paste link -> unformatted unicode text. What you will see is that the link keeps default formatting and places it infront of the table cell formatting. If you highlight the entire cell again and change the formatting to what is wanted, the current version of the link is now in the proper format. However, if you update the link by changing the text in excel and it contains spaces (or basically more words), the first words will be in the correct formatting, while the last few words will be in the default formatting. The table cell will not be in consistent formatting after update.

Help would be appreciated as this is driving me crazy.

sharepoint 2013, google chrome won't open word document

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 04:37 PM PDT

I've got an Office 365 (enterprise license deal) sharepoint site set up for my team.

I have some folks who insist on using Google Chrome and who are disappointed to find that when they click on a document in our document libraries, instead of opening, it downloads (they don't realize it) and they end up working on a local copy in their download folder.

 

Anyway, "use IE" is one solution, but according to MS, SharePoint sites are supposed to automatically open docs in Word even if the user's using Chrome. I can duplicate the problem on my home machine running Office 2010. I get no error messages. On hovering over the ellipses in the document library until the popup window shows up and clicking 'edit," the document downloads, instead of opening for editing.

 

If, instead, I just click the document name in the list, it opens in the word web app in Chrome. From there, clicking the button to open in Word produces no effect. A window pops up to try and confirm that the document opened, but when I click the option for "didn't open," I get information telling me it works just fine in Chrome (though it doesn't).

 

On my windows 8 machine running Chrome, and with Office 2013, Chrome does hand off the file to Word.

 

Anyone else seen this behavior? I've added the site to the computer's trusted sites list and this hasn't helped.

It's very unlikely Bob would be wrong about Office matters, his

by other MVPs who were unable to help....

As for the EULA, I found this site:

As you can see, they don't list the Academic version so it's very
likely that it would be identical to the Retail version.

Changing the language of a MS Office product?

Posted: 17 Apr 2005 10:53 AM PDT

Hi Jonam,

MS Office Enterprise editions (multilingual)
are non-retail copies of MS Office for volume
license program holders.

MS Office retail editions have (depending on
the country of sale) different money back
guarantees. In the U.S. it's 30 days.

As a car with the steering wheel on the right
purchased in the U.K., will continue to operate
when driven in the U.S., non english language
editions of Office will as well :) You can read/
write in more than one language, but the menus
won't change language.

===========
<<"Jonam Ekstrøm" <net> wrote in message news:d40t1d$7k9$02$t-online.com...

again: there are cases where you don't know that before. Sorry for repeating
myself, but: What if I live in Germany and will move to the United States?
There's some reasons for using an English version in this case. A good
program should be multi-lingual, by the way. This doesn't mean that Office
is bad. However, a multi-lingual user interface is standard for a good
application. I don't see why I should pay another $300 for exactly the same
product, just to get something that should be available by default: a MUI.

Regards Jonam >>

Sorry I need to clear this up a bit. I have the Student and Teacher edition
on CD that I bought from Walmart about 3 months ago. My harddrive crashed and
I am trying to re-install it from the cd. That is what I meant by download,
not from the web or someone else, but from my own cd, with the "key" on the
case. I am still getting the error message, even uninstalling it and
re-installing using the cd does not work.

Glibc got hosed, now can't do anything

Extract the 2.3 glibc shared library from the rpm file on the CDROM

If possible, do this on another computer.

Copy the library over the library on the broken system and see that all
links are ok.
If you have the standalone shell (sash) on the broken computer, start
and use it, since it will work even when libc is broken.
If nothing works, boot the broken box from CDROM and somehow transfer the
shared library (perhaps using floppies).

Once the shared library is copied over the broken older version and all
symbolic links are ok, you should be able to reboot the computer.
Reinstall the rpm of glibc 2.3 immediately!

A program that needs glibc 2.2 SHOULD be happy with 2.3.
If oracle refuses to install, try to fool it so it believes that you have
glibc 2.2: fiddle with config scripts etc.
Odds are that it will run fine.

On most linuces you can choose where the bootloader is installed -- you

probably need to start the installer in `expert' mode.

Yea, I couldn't find any 1.6.x docs at Netatalk site, so I don't know

Check your docs to find out which version you are running.
 

You _might_ restore the "old" display by setting SLES9 locale the same
as RHES 2.1. From the man page:
LC_CTYPE Character classification (ie., encoding) and case

Definitely make a backup of the affected files. You might be able to
play with the filenames alone if you can find a way to get the
appropriate output from ls > filenamelist. Not sure if/how ls affected
by UTF8 setting -- by now you would think it would be OK. You might be
able to get the output you need by simply getting rid of the ".UTF-8"
in LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8".

The problem with changing these settings on a server is that if you
don't take it off the network you may have filenames created that will
"fail" when you change back again.

Not being a Mac person -- the few we have at school aren't even on the
lan -- and not having access to machines or docs, etc. pertinent to
your case, I can't offer much experienced help. Willing to provide
moral support and do some spare time snooping if that will help.

Here are some links that _might_ provide some insight/background.
Don't study them too hard -- they will make your head hurt. (The
Unicode specs will make your head explode)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_character_set
http://home.no.net/david/i18n.php
http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html

TLDP has some older HOWTOs that may be useful -- this area has been
changing over the last several years (especially re: apps) so you may
need some older docs to cover RHES 2.1 quirks.

Check Netatalk archives or post to the list may be the best way to get
experienced help.

And be prepared to google till sweat poors off your head ;)
