How do I get hyperlinks to work (enabled) in Word document? Not placing them but following them from someone else's document.

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 02:47 PM PDT

I am using Office 2013, Home & Business (Word and Outlook) and (2010 if i need to), Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.  The original document came by email (protected mode) - with multiple links within.  I have enabled editing in the document, saved a copy to bypass read only, saved it in different Word formats (word document, 97-2003, macro-enabled) but none allow me to open the linked documents.  

 

I was able to open one link a few weeks ago but it was so hard and I had tried so many things, I don't remember how I did it.   The link that did open to a document was a problem too - the checkboxes within the form would not work.  I deleted the entire thing to start over trying to figure it out.  I had made so many changes through trial and error I wasn't sure where I began.  Since I had the original email I knew I could start from scratch.  I haven't been able to do it again.  Now I am lost.  So, how to get hyperlinks to work?  And once I do that, I am still faced with the problem of the checkboxes not working in the linked document (that I can no longer access)?   Any ideas? 

Custom Printing isn't printing in Word 2013

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 02:09 PM PDT

I'm trying to print several pages of a large document in Word 2013, but it's not printing.  The printer is set up correctly, and the test page and Print Current page option print beautifully.  But when I do "Custom Print", it doesn't go to the printer at all.  

Excel to Word macro using tables...

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 01:28 PM PDT

I have a working macro in Excel to copy a table and paste it to a bookmark in word. The user wants to be able to keep the first row of the table (header) showing if the result of the paste makes the table span more than one page. For example, the table in excel is

Hdr Hdr Hdr Hdr

1    2       3      4

1    2       3      4

1    2       3      4

but after the 2nd row it goes to a new page. So the user would like to see the resultant Word table look like

 

Hdr Hdr Hdr Hdr

1    2       3      4

Hdr Hdr Hdr Hdr

1    2       3      4

1    2       3      4

 

Can this be accomplished from within the Excel macro?

 

(My guess is no).

Spell check in the headers

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:31 PM PDT

Hello,
I have a document with multiple header styles used and the spell checked does not seem to be checking the text into those headers. It just says "You are good to go" when clearly multiple misspelled words were detected in the header styles.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Widening/expanding drop-downs in the QAT

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:27 PM PDT

TL;DR I want to make the style drop-down box on the QAT wider than it is.

I've added the Style drop-down box to the QAT. The style names I use are somewhat long, particularly as they can have multiple prefixes (i.e. "ABC text bullet", "XYZ box head 2," etc.). These names are mandated by the client and the designer, so there is no changing them. Because of the long names, I am often unable to tell which style is applied by looking at the QAT. I know there are workarounds (e.g. allow stylnames in the margins of draft view, opening the style pane off the home menu, clicking the drop-down arrow on the QAT), but these are not as convenient as expanding the QAT drop-down to always display the name. Can someone please help?



Sorry that this is probably often-asked and easily answered, but I've been searching for quite a while and can't find the option. 

Word no longer inserts citations

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:27 PM PDT

I am working on my thesis.  It is currently about 60+ pages including introductory and title pages, tables of contents, figures, and graphs, content text, and references.  I have over 80 sources, and so far writing, formatting, citing, and cross-referencing has been going more or less acceptably well.  There have been very few problems, and nothing a few hours of frustrated tech-fighting couldn't overcome.  Until now.

A few days ago, when I began working, word stopped inserting new citations.  I go through the same process to insert a citation I've been using all along.  Word's internal Reference tracker keeps record of the new references I'm trying to cite, and recognizes them as references.  It even accepts new sources.  But when I insert the citation, instead of successfully inserting a citation, such as [13] where I can highlight the reference to receive a gray box around the number acknowledging that it is indeed a citation, it just inserts the text " [1] ".  All citations are now " [1] " regardless of their actual number, and none show up as actual references or citations, just text.  

This problem started overnight, with no changes to any formatting or settings within word.  I have no idea what happened.  Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated.  

I'm using Word 2010 and IEEE 2006 style.  

Cheers

Opening a File Brings an already open Word File to the front

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:18 PM PDT

This is kinda annoying but when I open a Word file (or Excel for that matter), it brings an already open Word file to the front before opening the file I double-clicked to open (usually from a folder in Windows Explorer) and places it in a different location.  I have a Word file that I always leave open but wish to leave that one minimized when I need to look at others throughout the day.  None of my open windows in any program are at full screen size but I just tested and it happens even at full size.  Is there a way to eliminate this file "connection?"

How to create a navigational bookmark in Word 2013

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 08:49 AM PDT

Hi. I've created an MLA style paper using MS Word 2013 and want to create a navigational table of contents. However, I do not know how to bookmark a single page in the contents that does not use a heading style.

 

So, I know how to create a table of contents using Styles. I use Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 all of the time, and it's very useful. Those headings appear as a navigational table of contents when View > Navigational Pane is selected, and they are also used to automatically create a table of contents. I can do all of that.

 

What I don't know how to do is create an item in the navigational table of contents that does not link to a style heading. My MLA paper has a Title Page, the essay, and a Works Cited page. I have applied a Styles heading to the Title Page and to the Works Cited page by simply selecting the respective text and applying a heading style. The name of the selected text appears in the navigational table of contents, and that's fine.

 

My question is how do I add an item to the navigational table of contents without applying a style heading to specific text? If I select the first few words of the essay and apply a style heading, that's what will appear in the essay. I don't want that. I want a title such as "Essay" to appear.

 

Thanks

How to convert all existing footnotes to custom mark footnotes

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 08:43 AM PDT

Hi,

We are having a huge document containing more than 400 pages and almost 200 footnotes. The problem is that we have to remove all section break within that document so all our existing footnotes will have their numbering changed. Is there a way to convert all existing footnotes in order to keep it's current index number and set that value under the custom mark field so that we do not have to do it one by one
Kind Regards

How to print all footnotes list within office word 2010

Multiple IF comparisons in Word mail merge

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 08:28 AM PDT

I am trying to write an IF statement in a Word mail merge. I need to compare multiple "true" statements on a single field, with one response if any of those statements is true and a different response if all are false. I have tried several nested IF statements and I get the correct deposit amount for the international trips, but nothing for the domestic ones...

Here's what I need. I'm creating confirmation letters for trip reservations. If the trip is international the deposit fee is higher. Unfortunately our horrible database doesn't have a field to designate something as "domestic" or "international", so I'm trying to say: 

 IF the location is Belize, OR Jamaica, OR Nicaragua, OR Yucatan, then the deposit is "this amount." IF the location is NONE of these, then the deposit is "that amount."

Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance!

Styles and multi-level numbering

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 03:18 AM PDT

I use word 2010.   Currently I have styles linked to various multi level of numbering which works great.  

 

1  Heading 3

 

1.1  body text

 

1.1.1  body text

 

But we have users who need a heading at level 1.1 (but not always) so I now need all on the same template (as well as keeping the above) these options for people to use:

 

1  Heading 3

 

1.1  Heading 4

 

1.1.1  body text

 

Also I may need:-

 

1    body text

 

1.1   Heading 5

 

1.1.1  body text

 

Is there any way to accomplish this - without the need to create 2 or 3 totally separate styles for this??

Office 2010

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 02:52 AM PDT

The programme was installed on my lap-top when I purchased it several years ago but suddenly all my documents in word and excel are locked with the Microsoft logo.  What does this mean? When I tried to re-activate the programme I was asked for the product key which I do not have so does this mean that I have to buy an Office package now?  If so and buy a later version (such as 2013), will I be able to access all my old documents?

Can not save customized keyshortcut into template

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:23 AM PDT

Hi there, I have a brand new HP computer and pre-install office 365.
I had uninstalled the old office 365 at control panel, restart and install office 2013.

everything seems fine but I can not save the keybroad shortcut which created from insert, symbol, more symbol, shortcut-key, Assign and press close. It pointed to save changes to "Normal"

I can use that shortcut at that doc, but after I closed MS word I can not use that shortcut again. I have to create it once more.
I can use the other computer to create dotm file and replace the Normal.dotm in HP computer. This works for me.
But I want to fix it permanently..

I had this experience before at another computer and I contact MS telephone support and let him remote my computer, but what he did is delete the registry related to office and reboot  my computer without asking. All other setting were reset...I ask him why and he said no other choices...and no reason.

I just want to know is any other choices which can solve the problem and why newly installed office had this problem.

Thanks for any useful information.

Regards,
Rafe

Indexing oddities (bugs?)

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 09:03 PM PDT

I have several indexes which are correct except for a few things:

1. In most of them, some entries are out of alpha order. The Reference Mark Entries are ok. Does anyone know of a bug that might do this? Correcting these is extremely slow and tedious.

2. Sometimes I get two index lines for two identical marks on the same page of the text. It should not do this. Is it a bug? (I keep a few duplicates in case the pagination changes and puts them on different pages.)

3. I do not understand why some random lines in the indexes come out bold or small-caps, when the entries in the text are neither.

4. Sometimes I delete one of the indexes and write the file out to try creating the index again. If I do Open and Repair on the file whose index I deleted, the index is still there or there again. Why is this?

I want to thank all who answered my previous questions.

Saving customized Word 2013 QAT

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 08:19 PM PDT

It's a good thing I don't actually need to use Word 2013 because it seems incapable of saving my QAT the way I want it. Here's a portion of what I have in Word 2010:

 

 

After repeated customization, the QAT in Word 2013, which should have the same buttons in the same order, showed this yesterday:

 

 

I rearranged the buttons again (to match the Word 2010 order), then quit Word and reopened it to ascertain that they were still in the same order, but tonight when I look again, here's what I have:

 

 

What is causing this recalcitrance?

 

(As an aside, this comparison shows how much less space-efficient the Word 2013 QAT is. I won't even comment on how ugly the button icons are.)

watermark picture- word 2013 for envelope

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 05:46 PM PDT

I would like to create a watermark picture doc with word 2013.  I can do this nicely on regular sized paper.  I want to print it on A5 size paper. I have  enlarged the original picture 1800%. It fits nicely on the 8X11 paper in the middle.  I don't know to make it print an A5 envelope without the program reducing the size of the picture.  My final goal is to print the watermark picture on the front of the envelope filling most of the page. If Word can't do this, can I manipulate the graphic so it will print the full front of the envelope?  If yes, how?
Thanks in advance for your help.

My CanonMP600 will not print Office documents

Posted: 22 Sep 2013 11:08 AM PDT

My Acer computer which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium and CanonMP600 have been working happily together since they were installed 3 years ago.

Recently though, I haven't been able to print Adobe Reader 9  documents that I have downloaded from the internet.

Today I followed the Adobe online trouble shooting guide and had success in printing an Adobe document that was in my Dropbox.

Since then I am not able to print anything from Word or Excel although I can print off the internet such as emails.

I am not very computer savvy but can follow instructions so I would be really grateful if anyone has had a similar problem..... I'm hoping the solution is simple.

Problems converting a trial version

Posted: 13 May 2005 12:48 PM PDT

Than you for trying to help but the article you pointed me to does not apply
to Office small business trial edition. It applies to:
• Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
• Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
• Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2003
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
• Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003
• Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003

I made a search on: "How to convert an Office 2003 small business Trial
edition to a full retail edition" but it did not return anything.

My trial version must be convertible though because the button convert
exists and when I hit it it asks me for a key.

Thanks garfield-n-odie. That explains very well what was occuring. I did have
an excel document open prior to opening Word 2003. Once I closed excel and
tried Word again the character came up and worked properly. Thank you for
that information. Very mhelpful indeed.

Lost Shortcut Icons in Program area of Start Menu

The Program area of the start menu does show either Office Programs, Excel,
Word or Publisher. With Office 2000 the three Word,Excel and Publisher were
present in the Program area of Start menu. I can call up a file and have each
program work properly just can't initiate the prgrams via the Start/Program
area.

Hi Bob

Thanks for getting back. Yes, it Word that I'm referring to. What is the
easiest way to deploy the normal.dot template? We have around 700 computers
and over 2000 users (we are a school in case you're wondering).

Thanks,

Autocomplete (File/Open) not working!

Hi Fawke,

In the Office File=>Open dialogs you can use
*text* to have it find the matching file names
when you hit enter to present a tailored list.

Hi there,

I have 3 an installs of office xp (fully updated) that is causing us issues.

When opening a file (IE doc1.doc) and you start to type the name in the box
it would usually fill in the name automatically for you (similar to web
pages).
We have 10,000 documents in our folder and this function, however trivial,
is vital!

How/where can we re-enable this in office?

Thanks in advance

Where can I find the 25-digit product key for Office 2000

Posted: 08 May 2005 09:52 PM PDT

In article <googlegroups.com>,
com.hk writes 
The installation of Office 2000 may well have left a couple of install
log files in ..\windows\temp, the file names would be something like :
"Office 2000 Professional Setup (0004)_MsiExec.txt"

Here on my system there is this file, and it contains the PID key that I
typed in when installing Off2k.
It's an entry, "Property(C): PIDKEY = (what I typed in)".

You may be lucky and find this on the system(s) in question, a text
string search for "PIDKEY" may do it.

Good luck

Yes. Redhat is what I have and yes the rpm distros I've gotten do not have
this module installed as you've stated.

Instead of looking for an rpm that already has this, I decided that it's
time to start hacking around with the kernel so I downloaded the 2.6.10
(I'm currently using 2.4.xx something). It'll be a nice project on a rainy
NY day.
 

Yes! You're right. My NTFS partition is on hda1. Thanks! This little
omission would have set me back.

Thanks for all the info. I apologize if this is a frequent topic.

rpm question...

Posted: 08 Jan 2005 12:28 AM PST

> Dude, you need to lean to use yum.

Nod.

Right now your ftp command is downloading every single RPM every single
time and then stepping through each one to determine if it needs to
upgrade or not. If there are intermediate updates (you are on 1.1 and
there are .2 and 1.3 on your FTP site) it will do all the intermediate
updates (most unecessary).

When you initialize a yum repository, it builds an index on the server
(FTP or HTTP). THe client downloads only the index and then downloads
only the RPMS it needs (and the dependencies) to get the job done.

Frequent system crashes

Rather unusual. Some things to ponder.

1. Do you have another computer on the LAN - is this computer responding
over the network (ping, telnet, anything)?

2. Does pressing the left Ctrl, left Alt and one of the Function keys
(try F2 or F3) bring you to a text login screen? If so, can you log in
as root and see what is going on? NOTE: While the system is running, look
in /etc/inittab and see how many "*getty" lines there are - you would need
to press the Alt and Fn key where n is one number greater than the number
of gettys running in order to return to X.)

3. If 2. fails, does pressing the left Ctrl, left Alt and the Backspace
key restart X?

4. If you _don't_ run X (try a text based login), do you have problems?

5. Could you be having hardware problems? Temperature mainly. Could it
be power problems?

6. Get a bootable CD distribution like Knoppix, or even a rescue floppy
system like Toms RootNBoot (tomsrtbt at any sunsite mirror in the
../system/recovery/ directory) and try running that. Does the system still
lock up?

7. Check the consistency of your software. As root, run the following
command "rpm -Va > files.2.check" look at the 'rpm' man page under
the VERIFICATION section - you are looking for binaries that fail size
or MD5 checks,

8. Does pressing the 'NumLock' 'Scroll Lock' or 'Caps Lock' key cause the
lights on the keyboard to toggle?
 

Did you change anything else besides the software?

That works for the console. I think the OP meant "how do I change
screen resolution in X?" That's also easy; just use "xvidtune -next" or
"xvidtune -previous". For extra points, use xbindkeys to bind this
command to a key combination like Shift-F7 or a "multimedia key" like
"Mail" on your MS Natural Pro keyboard. HTH,

Red Hat installers and desktops

Posted: 06 Jan 2005 01:25 PM PST

this one's pretty easy :)

anaconda'll install packages (it might even un-install?). to run
anaconda insert, for example, disc one of FC3. your choices, roughly:

1.) remove linux partitions/clean install/something similar

2.) make sure not to pick "desktop" type of system...pick custom.

3.) anaconda'll prompt you for which packages you want. pick, for
example, x windows and don't click KDE or gnome. you could even choose
the "minimal" install at aprox. 510 mb of hard drive space.

after installing, for example, the "minimal" you can then then add
packages to your hearts content.

some options:

A.) re-insert disc one of FC3. use anaconda to "upgrade" your existing
FC install. add packages (such as X windows).

B.) more hard core would be to use grub. IIRC the syntax is "grub
install", "man grub" on that probably. it brings up a list of packages
from redhat, which it downloads and installs for you.

C.) even more hardcore, ftp the sources and compile yourself.


in terms of windows manager, swordfish comes to mind as being
lightweight.

Fedora Core 3 - Blank screen for all users but root

Did you copy the contents of /etc/skel/ to the new user directories?
You are running just the reverse of us - we _never_ run a GUI as root,
but that's security for us.
 

X is running - no window manager
 

As root, 'ls -lA' in the home directory. Repeat for the users. You are
missing the 'dot files' that configure X for the users. I suppose you
could also have a permission problem to the global configuration files
normally found in /etc/, but I'd expect to see error messages for that.
You could (as root) use the non-graphical login, then use 'strace' to
see what files are being opened when you start X. Try

strace -eopen startx > /tmp/some.file.name

and then review that file and see that the user has access, or has their
own copy of the needed configuration files.

kernel compilation

And in the short term, the usual method is to take a copy of the old
kernel's config file, found in /usr/src/linux-{kernelname}/config/., copy it
into the .conf file, run "make menuconfig" and only change the things you
need to, then recompile and install.
