Microsoft Word - How to get Word to put docs from attachments into Recent files list

How to get Word to put docs from attachments into Recent files list

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:58 PM PDT

I often open Word files from attachments, without downloading it to my default directory. Just opening them up from the temp files directory into Word. occasionally I want to go back and view them, but they are not in the recent files list. Is there a way to get Word to put those files in the recent folders list, so I can still go back and open them up from within Word, w/o having to go into my email, and then search for them?

How can I correct an apparent shortcut or auto formatting issue?

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:32 PM PDT

Hello,

I am typing a cookbook of my mother's recipes as a Word document. I insert a quote mark  ["] for the number of minutes to bake an item. I inadvertently did something because now when I try to insert quote mark (Shift + ") it types something like << (except the arrows are very close together).

I have several separate Word documents open and it is only happening in one document. I assume it is an automatic formatting or shortcut issue but I cannot seem to find out how to disable it.

Thank you for any help. 

Word 2013 crashes every time I open it.

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 01:15 PM PDT

Whenever I try to open Word 2013 it says Word 2013 has stopped working. All other Office 2013 are working correctly and Office 2010 worked fine before I installed 2013.  I have uninstalled Office 2010, uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013.  I have removed Abby fine reader and do not have Toshiba book reader.  Also I don't have the bluetooth add on. Here's the event log:

MS Word crashes every time I try to print

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 12:30 PM PDT

Every time I try to print a document in Microsoft Word, it crashes and I have to close the program down. I have ran a diagnostics (I tried this several times) but the problem is still unsolved. 

This problem doesn't seem to happen in other programs such as Excel. Now, when I have to print a document I have to save it as a pdf and then print it through Adobe Acrobat. 

Thanks. 

P.s. I am using Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007.

Path cannot be used for 'security reasons'

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 11:49 AM PDT

I have a networked drive (mapped to S:) where I keep most of my files.    I'm running Windows 7 and recently started using Word 2010.

I want to make my networked drive "trusted" so I don't have to "enable editing" on my Word files.     "Allow Trusted Locations on my network" is checked.   In the Microsoft Office Trusted Location dialog I've checked "Subfolders of this location are also trusted"     But regardless of whether I use the drive letter S:\  or the folder path, S:\SharedFiles, I still get the same error message - "the path you have entered cannot be used as a trusted location for security reasons. choose another location or a specific folder."  

What exactly does this mean?     I've seen all sorts of discussion on the web about this with people trying various folk-remedies like using UNC paths, editing the Registry, running word "as administrator", etc.   Some of them seem to work for some people and not others, or not work at all.    I'm sick of playing games -  where does Microsoft document these things?

Thanks in advance.

Constantly Not Responding

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT

My Microsoft Office, particularly Word, is constantly not responding and it doesn't seem to matter what I do.  From simple things like changing the font , inserting a symbol, or switching tabs to more complex things like switching the dictionary from English to Spanish while I'm typing.  In the past 5 minutes it has stalled out at least 10 times and it's getting way past the point of ridiculous.

Is there anything I can do to get it to work properly?

Userform toolbox suddenly empty!

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 02:00 AM PDT

Baffling. Went to create a new userform and found the Toolbox consists of 2 tabs, labeled Page1 and Page2, both of them blank -- that is, devoid of controls.

Happens in all my existing .dotm templates, as well as in new ones I create.  I can copy controls from existing userforms, but not to the toolbox (circle-slash symbol appears when I try).

I don't recall ever seeing 2 "pages" in the Toolbox, and I'm sure I didn't add one.

It's not the templates: copying any of them to my other machine (identical Windows & Word versions) shows the full normal toolbox, and the (one) 'page' on it is labeled 'Controls.'

No problems with Excel userforms, only Word. No recent software changes. What went wrong?!  Userforms are my life....kind of.

When I turned off the "bitmap when font cant be embedded", the fonts showed up in a different font on my PDF. I also need it to not bitmap, so that the document will be searchable. Thanks!

How to construct a List of Tables which includes table description when APA 6th drops a line from the Table 1 before showing the label of the table -

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 05:36 PM PDT

Hello Microsoft Word users.

I am using APA 6th for my dissertation and I noticed that because APA 6th has the Table number and the table label on separate lines when I try to form a List of Tables by going to  References -> Insert Table of Figures -> Caption Label -> and complete the function all that comes up is

A list that  looks like this Table 1 ..................................... (6)

This is how APA 6th insists on Tables being labelled ...


Table 1
The Basic Emotions

Is there anyway that I can modify the Table of Figures function so it can actually include the label of the table when it forms its Table of Figures so the end product looks like this

Table 1 The Basic Emotions ............................(6)

It works fine when making a list of Figures - mostly because APA 6th does not insist on dropping a line after writing Figure 1.  so Word is works with picking up the full label.

For example Word automatically picks up this when it forms its list of figures

Figure 1. Percentage of response time for each Wellness Capacity ........................................................(10)



Any help would be most gratefully appreciated - I cannot be the only person who has come across the quirks of APA 6th Table labelling and trying to form a list of Tables in Microsoft!

Kind Regards

Moving Exchange 2003 To Another Server When Installed on a Win2k3

Posted: 05 May 2005 06:08 AM PDT

Mark,

Thank you for the reply. The new server can just be a member server,
correct? It does not need to be a DC?

I'm just making sure because I found this kb article that says you can't
promote or demote a server after installing Exchange 2003, but it makes no
mention of moving it to a new server....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822179

Also, the instructions that you pointed out to me on swinc are great, but
they specify Exchange 2000, will they work correctly for 2003?

Once again, thank you for your help!!

OWA- Quick Dummy Question

Posted: 04 May 2005 07:11 PM PDT

Got this from another board, it worked great:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=883380

Back to the redirection-

Internally we use the https:\\<servername>\exchange to access the OWA. We
have SSL & forms based turned on and working. The router is configured to
forward the https:\\mail.FQDN.com to the exchange server. The server see's
the request but doesn't know what to do because the is not a reference to the
'exchange' page. I believe I need either a index page in there somewhere or
a redirection of some kind.

Thanks

Well I really don't care either way BUT my boss does. Cache mode is not

the other computers using Excamge 2003 are laptops. They belong to my boss

Cache mode is the best way to access all we need on and off the network. Well

Guess - you got that message from the Internet. Internet mail uses less
efficient method of attachment transport and storage. This format is used in
Exchange when message first arrives. Later, when message is accessed by MAPI
client (Outlook in Exchange Server mode), it is converted to more efficient
storage format and thus takes less space. Thus decrease in size.

Mailbox Rights -- Outlook Delegates????

Posted: 03 May 2005 06:25 AM PDT

One thing to keep in mind, I noticed it when we converted our users to
exchange 2000. When you used to give delegate access in 5.5, users could add
the profile to their services in outlook and open the mailbox and see the
folders they have access to. In E2K, this does not work the same way. If
you give a user Editor access to your inbox, they see your inbox (file open
other users folder) but if they add your profile their outlook, they will not
be able to expand the mailbox anymore. This has changed from E 5.5 to E2K.
Just an observation in our company.
Clients now have to give at least reviewer on the Outlook Today.
THanks.

How to clear Outlook 2003 history

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 08:26 AM PDT

Now who is being disengenuous? Many of you MVP's weasel your way into
corporate pockets by directing inquirer's to web sites for help. And of
course these web sites that SELL SOLUTIONS and consulting jobs, don't they?

You write about profit like it's a four letter word! We are very honest
about writing a needed solution for profit. Instead of telling people to
delete oftentimes valuable, irresplacable data, we developed a very helpful
solution. This solution even includes a means by which users can edit x500
addresses, very handy when migrating Exchange servers. But then, you seem
like the type of person who hates Bill Gates and Benjamin Franklin and
perhaps anyone else who developed products that help people.

The many companies and government agencies all over this globe that have
written to say "thanks" to us are testimony that we developed a much needed
solution. We will not "go away", and we will continue to call attention to
"dumb advice" given by people who should know better. For your information,
$24.95 is only for the desktop version that doesn't edit GAL records. You
should see what our executable version can do when called from a login
script!

These comments do not apply to ALL MVP's, just a few. Most MVP's that I
have been in touch with are genuine and work very hard to help people.
Others....well it's not a perfect world.

Thank you John and sorry for the confusion. I meant "paste link"
The problem I have is that after the paste link, if I add a new task the
linked file is not updated unless I repeat the paste link steps for every new
entry.

The good thing is that when I delete one task, the linked file is also
updated, and it would be greate if I can do the same thing while I am adding
a new task without repeating the paste link steps. Please advise Thank you

Proj Pro Licensing

Posted: 23 Nov 2004 12:13 PM PST

I certainly hope you are wrong.

The only reason we are using TS is because Proj Server performance is so
poor across a WAN (we have plenty of bandwidth). This tells me that due to a
flaw in the product, not only does my firm need to purchase TS licenses but
also double-up on Proj Pro licenses? Simply unacceptable.

Rod, this frustration is certainly not directed at you. I appreciate your
response.
I just feel that this is a significant barrier to entry for Proj Server in
deploying across an enterprise.

Needless to look within Project, there is no automatic tool for what you

View Cost - Per Parent Task

Posted: 19 Nov 2004 12:41 PM PST

What are you meaning when you say "parent task?" Are you referring to
summary tasks such as project phases that have activities indented as
subtasks underneath? Or do you mean tasks that have several resources
assigned to them.

If you're interested in the actual work activities for each resource the
task usage view might work for you. It shows the tasks and the resources
assigned to them. Drag the divider between the two halves of the screen to
the right a little to give you more room for the table and add the "cost"
column.

c'mon people get over it! on the interweb thingy there are always
going to be rude and insensitive bozos like this one who only think in
upper case and can't be bothered to look for an unsubscribe link. I
really think we could give up responding to posts like this one and
get back to more productive work

Hi Bernhard,

I am not to sure of download counts. I have downloaded a lot from both
repositories that I only loaded long enough to see what they were.
Others that I still have loaded are not used. What I was trying to do,
to not great avail, was find out what is actually being used.
 

If people actually voted for the extensions they use on a regular basis
that would be better.

Of course you are welcome to discuss ideas in this forum if you wish to know
if they will be acted on or not. The best way to get your idea to reality,
short of writing the code yourself, is to pay a developer. Most user ides are
unlikely to get included unless they have mass appeal or are useful minor

Dear Paul: 
I've no idea on how nabble works (never used it). Do you currently access
Nabble through NNTP?

A quick search indicates that it may not be possible moving forward (

Assuming you are using OOo 3.x simply putting a dictionary file into a
directory is *not* sufficient. The dictionary must be implemented as an
*extension* (.oxt file) and installed via the Extension Manager. See
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries> for a
little more information. To discuss this in more detail send questions
to <openoffice.org>.

[discuss] Question/Suggested addition

Posted: 03 Feb 2010 08:08 AM PST

Hi Carl:

Yes, they are different. It looks like you saw my email to Paula.
Long before I saw Oo around, in DOS, I was a user of generic CADD 5 and 6.

In its time it came on 6 1.44 Mb. Floppies.

By the time I left it, I was filling a 100 Mb. Zip disk with the results of
my work.

I used it in connection with an industrial electronics service business I
had at the time. On one occasion I was able to semi-automatically duplicate
a schematic while renumbering all the component numbers in the process to
end up with a schematic of a dual architecture machine schematic for
packaging frozen vegetables.

I think this would also be feasible in Oo Draw, but visually, the operation
would look very different from my old DOS counterpart.

If one was doing this from a text script of the vectors, they could do a lot
of selective auto-creation by dumping the vector text into a spreadsheet and
doing transformations, then re-dumping the contents back (through a DOS text
file to get rid of the spreadsheet formatting stuff), then back to the CAD
import.

In the case of Draw, the spreadsheet would be of some help, but you would
need to use it as a step by step guide while the actual work was done by
copying the block as a group, then ungrouping and doing a find/replace on
the drawing elements. This would need to be done in an extra page as a means
of preventing the find/replace from tampering with the half that was not to
be modified. Then group the changed objects, copy, paste and position in the
original page, ungroup both halves (optional), then regroup the whole thing
and size and center as a big group.

BTW, Draw can also support hierarchal groups within groups, as well (I
think) as parallel groups (This would depend on how Draw reads its grouping
codes.) This could also be tested ad hoc. That is the kind of tinkering I
always have an extra directory/folder called "experiments" for!

Over the years, I have done a lot of reinventing the wheel because I was not
satisfied with the wheels I found - definitely an out of the box thinker!

I have also worked since with AutoCAD and seen a number of other Cad
programs. Presently I prefer to use Oo Draw for that stuff as long as it can
be 2D (but actually, having come from the drafting board days originally, I
think one could nicely do double auxiliary projections in Oo Draw if they
really wanted to represent 3D to scale in there, but I wonder how many today
would know how to read them any more.)

It is very possible to control object sizes numerically in Draw. It's just
that the way it is done is somewhat different from a true Cad program.

Recently I saw an article from someone in an American University that was
using Draw somewhat this way, but I must admit that I though I felt more
comfortable with Draw than the article suggested he might have.

Cheers,

Bruce M.

I've used swriter for years, and never use the default page border format
except for quick notes to myself and as a scratch pad to copy from and paste
to another document or application.* For things that others will see, I have
created blank templates for the various documents I produce, eg. letters,
documents, pleadings and envelopes, that I can open with as few keystrokes
as the default page.* I can customize them any way I find useful, and it is
not hard to do.* Bet students could easily do this, and enjoy taking control
of their lives.* My templates generally have a "first page" with a header,
and a "default" second page with a footer containing a page number.

Haven't thought about text boxes, Is it something different from "frames?"*

good luck,

Carl

Dear OpenOffice,

This question is in regards to text boxes in OpenOffice Writer. I was
looking for a way to insert a text box, without going to the Drawing
toolbar. The drawing toolbar is not visible on our student's computer in the
library lab. Therefore, they search for it under "Insert", which would be a
logical place to find this option. However, I do not see it listed there.
Possible feature to be added in the future?

Also, most documents assigned at the high school level (and possibly
college) require 1" margins. Why are the defaults all set at .79? Another
possible future change?

Looking forward to any new editions!

Sincerely yours,
