| Shading in a table Posted: 26 Sep 2013 01:59 PM PDT I created a crossword puzzle in Word using a standard table, because I couldn't find a template for crossword puzzles. After I shaded all the unused boxes (which took awhile), a very strange thing happened. When I copied the puzzle and pasted it into another document, the shading held, but the words disappeared. To make matters worse, I couldn't add them to the puzzle, because there was no cursor. Can anyone explain why this occurred?
Second question: It is extremely tedious to highlight the cells, bring up the format menu, then select the shade, and do that all over again for each block of cells. Is there a way to highlight all the blank ones in the table and shade them at the same time? |

| I can't get the mirror margins to work correctly Posted: 26 Sep 2013 12:55 PM PDT I set the mirror margins so that there is a gutter on the inside and an even margin all the way round. I have lots of sections, some starting on an even page and some continuous. Some places it has done the mirror margin right and some places it hasn't on the wrong side of the page.
Also it won't let me change the page numbers to start at 1. There is a first section where the numbers are roman and then I want it to start again at 1 but it starts at 3.
If it did start again at 1 - then page 1 would be on the right hand side ie. an even page. Is the mirror margin taking the document age number or the page number page number into account? |

| Microsoft Word not responding. Posted: 26 Sep 2013 09:53 AM PDT I have Windows 8, and I have installed Office 365 and every time I open Word, it crashes. It opens, I'm allowed to click on a blank document but when it opens to write, it immediately crashes. The spinning circle comes up, it says Microsoft Word is not responding then it either resets [the same thing happens again] or it closes. Is there anyway I can fix this? So far power point works, and I tried going through the control panel and repairing it but after I reinstalled it, the same problem appeared instantly. Help please? Thanks! |
| Using Drop Down Menus in Word 2010 Posted: 26 Sep 2013 09:41 AM PDT I'm in the process of creating a letter template that functions like a form - it is locked down and can only be edited in certain fields. Within this template is a paragraph of text that sometimes needs to be included in the letter but can sometimes be omitted. I don't want to leave that section of text entirely editable because many people will be working with this letter, and I'd like to make sure that all of the content remains consistent. Is there a way to use a Drop Down Menu in order to trigger whether that paragraph appears in the letter or not? For example, if the author of the letter selects "Include Paragraph" from the drop down, the paragraph will appear, and if they select "Omit Paragraph", the paragraph will be deleted? The paragraph as a whole is too large to include within the drop down's Display Name or Value fields. I'd also like to make sure that this drop down only appears to the author of the letter, not to the final reader. Not sure if any of this is doable, or if there might be a better solution. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

| Receiving a password prompt when opening RTF files in Word Posted: 26 Sep 2013 07:54 AM PDT Hello all,
We recently setup two new Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS servers for a client. One server has no issues, but the second has a few strange things happening when opening RTF files. When a file is opened it prompts for a "TemplateProject Password". I can click cancel to get passed this, but it pops up a Microsoft Visual Basic Compile Error stating that it can't find the project or library. Clicking OK on that brings up Microsoft Visual Basic. After closing that I can access the original document and do whatever I want to it. When I close out of the document the exact same process that I go through when opening the document happens again. I am not sure why this is happening. I have confirmed that this happens for every user of the RDS server except for the domain administrator. Making a user a local administrator of the server does not resolve the issue. Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated. |

| Paste text without creating table Posted: 26 Sep 2013 06:33 AM PDT I am pasting text copied from a discussion board on the web into Word 2010. I used paste as unformatted text, but Word still creates a table. I tried pasting into Notepad, copying that and then to Word, and have the same problem. The table does not have the handle on the top left so I cannot use Convert to Text.
How do I avoid the table or get rid of it?

| Word 2010 & 13 new list level Posted: 26 Sep 2013 05:34 AM PDT I am trying to create a multilevel list that is prefixed by the Header 1 level number, and has the format 1.010 where the last two digits increment within the list. The list is a numbers the process steps within a table and is NOT the same as Header 2.
I do not want to reinvent the wheel, so would like to leverage default existing levels in Word, but if I create a new multilevel list, it does not reference the built in Heading 1 value, it starts from 1. Is it possible to tack a level onto the existing number structure?
Any ideas please?? |
| Why have my Footers separated into 5 different sections? Posted: 26 Sep 2013 04:06 AM PDT I am making a long document for school, and some individual pages I need to be landscape to fit all the data on. So I did this by going into Page Layout and changing the layout to Landscape but selected "From this point forward". I then went forward one page to get the rest of my document back to landscape. This has seemed to have created different "Sections" of my document. So I have Footer Section 1-4... Does anybody know how I can get rid of these footer sections so that I can have the same footer going through my whole document? Thanks |

Is their anyway of having Microsoft save the "recent documents" to my external drive?
Thanks!

| Corrupt Office Files after System Refresh on Win 8 Posted: 25 Sep 2013 06:56 PM PDT So it seemed that some programs were in conflict with each other in my system (not involving the Office) and then I did a system refresh. However, after a system refresh, all office files created on this computer seemed corrupted and won't open. When I opened one of these corrupt files the Word will prompt (other programs will have similar prompts): 1-We are sorry. We can't open xxx .docx because we found a problem with its contents. (Details: The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.) 2-(OK)->Word found unreadable content in xxx.docx. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of the document, click Yes. 3-(Yes)->We are sorry. We can't open xxx .docx because we found a problem with its contents. (Microsoft Office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invallid.) Additional information: 1. This piece of Microsoft Office is newly installed and will open the files not created on the computer before the system refresh and will open the files created on the computer after the system refresh. 2. My system is running Windows 8 Professional and Office 2013 Professional. 3. The original files are not encrypted by any manner (including password, AFS, and other encryption methods) 4. This is appearing on Word, Excel and PowerPoint (since I have never created any other office files on this computer before). 5. The office files won't open even if I change the extension to .zip. 6. No effect is seen after a commercial software of office restore. 7. I haven't performed a backup for these files :( Can anybody possibly see what is going on here? |

| macro to write and retrieve user form data Posted: 25 Sep 2013 05:57 PM PDT Hello, I have created some Word templates with user forms and they're working well. The only problem is that every time I use the template I need to fill in my name, phone number and email address. I have looked around and am struggling to find how I can store the values entered into the text boxes into a text file so that every time I use the form the name, phone and email values are automatically populated. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. I realize that this is probably going to use VBA to write to a text file and if so, please consider that I am new to VBA :) Cheers, Mark |

| office 365 co-authoring and cloud storage Posted: 25 Sep 2013 03:34 PM PDT Hi,
I would like to know better how Office 365 works.
I am willing to run a pilot in the company I work for, but I would like to know the following: - Can we work on documents in a collaborative way, such as Google Docs does? Multiple people editing the same doc at the same time.
- Does the actual document gets stored in Microsoft cloud at any time or it stays stored locally? Even when co-authoring?
- Can I use Office 365 for Enterprise? I saw there are only the versions Home Premium and University.
Thanks,

| TOC 1 Style is not bold when Style Set is used on another documnt Posted: 25 Sep 2013 03:19 PM PDT I have saved a style set as a .dotm. In that style set: TOC 1 is bold, TOC 2 is not indented.
I didn't change anything else in TOCs (e.g. line spacing: 5 pt after).
I have also changed a load of other styles and what appears in the Quick Style Gallery
In a new document, when I Change Styles to that style set, most of it works ok. TOC 2 is not indented,
but TOC 1 doesn't show as bold.
If I modify TOC 1 in that new document, I see it is not bold - and it's line spacing is now 12 pt after instead of 5 pt. TOC 2 and TOC 3 are still 5 pt after.
Why does the bold not come through and the line spacing is different from the .dotm containing the style set where it does show bold correctly and line spacing is 5 pt after for all TOC 1, 2 and 3?
I am gradually getting my head around Themes, and their components: Style Sets, Building Blocks, colour palettes, fonts, spacing.
Also where they are held: Style Sets: 1 per .dotm
Building Blocks: all in BuildingBlocks.dotx
I wish there was a simple schematic to show the components and how they fit together - an overview that shows these major tools and their relationships and how they are housed in files on the C drive or wherever.
Some guides say to use the styles organizer to move a style from one doc to another but I don't see why I'd do that instead of style sets.
