Word Documents Won't Delete

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:40 PM PDT

Wow. All of a sudden, when I try to delete documents (send to the recycle bin), it won't work. The circle (showing something is happening) shows up for a bit and then disappears and nothing happens. I have approx. 100 documents to delete. Tech support wanted $99 to even look (not necessarily fix).

How can I buy an ad-free version of Office 2013?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:51 PM PDT

Just got a refund for the Office 2013 software I purchased & downloaded Saturday.  As most of you know, Microsoft is now advertising products within the "new" Word templates. I find it appalling- this isn't ad-supported software.  I paid $220 to own the software and install it on my desktop. My time and attention are too valuable-  I don't want to pay to be sold something when I use Office; i.e. giftcertificates.com birthday cards and docstoc legal documents.  If I want to purchase something, I'll do a web search on my own. The Microsoft store refunded my money because even the high-level tech support people could not figure out how to remove the default ads.  I love Word and I'll happily pay for it if it is ad-free.  Anybody know how to get a version of Office without the built-in ads?  Do I need to find an earlier release?

Do not want underline to be bold!!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:46 PM PDT

1.  Every time I make underlined text bold in Word 2002, it also makes the underline itself bold.  How can I stop this??!

2.  I typed some spaces before and after some text so when I selected and underlined it, it would appear the text was filled in a "blank."  But the one that was at the end of a line would make the underline stop right after the text and would ignore the spaces.   Help please.  Thanks!

Why do I have condensed fonts in some of my WORD 2010 document?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

I am having a problem getting a document formatted into a single style. Every 10 pages or so I will have a paragraph or whole page that looks condensed, and I cannot figure out how to change it to the regular font size and spacing. here is an example of what I am seeing in the document: 1)the top paragraphs are condensed, 2) the bottom paragraph is normal. 1)- A double operation to be completed in thirty minutes; thirty minutes needed to bring the reinforcements from the German military base seventeen miles beyond the southern ridge; reinforcements the plan allowed to arrive too late but to bury their dead in a deserted ravine, guerillas already withdrawn to the hills. And the audacious plan had worked. The German guard patrol had been pushed back inside the airfield area and here they were joined by full battalion strength, men quickly roused from sleep, blood racing through bodies restless with long and boring camp fatigues, men anxious to press on, to follow up the retreating shadows in the night. 2) Three hundred yards, four, five; the guerilla retreat now lighted bright as day, sheet flame preceding crunching explosions throwing burning gasoline high above the plateau; a frightening wild tower of leaping red and white; harsh bright light reflected back below again by bulging black clouds of smoke hurrying high above the blazing **** unleashed below. A thrusting roar of fire now punctuated by short round and irregular bursts of grenades lobbed into leather cockpits of planes splintered and wrenched apart; mute metal tilted, now overturned, wheels alive spinning madly unable to escape the hungry fire rendering all to useless scrap. Both condensed and normal paragraphs are Palatino 11pt and I am using WORD 2010, Windows 7 64 bit. Can anyone explain why this is happening or perhaps explain how I can format the entire 120 page document the same way and resolve the condensed bits? I have tried select all, but that doesn't change things. Thanks very much for any help! Ps. Are there any web based businesses where I can send the document to have it fixed, so the font size, etc will be the same through-out the entire document?

How can I delete Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:46 PM PDT

Hey all,

Unfortunately, installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (on Windows 7) had some nasty results for me. When I opened a document that contained hyperlinks and citations which I managed with Reference Manager, it appeared that these were broken. Instead of seeing a citation, example: (1), I see a whole lot of text describing the citation (author type and that kind of stuff). My reference list, which is automatically updated, is also gone.

Searching the internet for this specific problem, I hardly find any useful and/or relevant information. 

I now want to delete this update, but I ran into different problems there. First, the update doesn't show in Control Panel - Installed updates, but it is there in Windows Update! Why is that? 

Second, there is a tool out there which deletes Service Pack 1 or higher for Microsoft Office 2010, but I cannot get it to work.

I cannot locate my log file, so I cannot remove the update.

If anyone recognizes this problem, please let me know because I just want a working Microsoft Word again with working citations. It was very useful and I had no problems at all.

If not, could someone please help me out deleting this damn Service Pack?

Thanks

We run Windows 7, 64 bit with all current Microsoft updates in place.

Trying to open another document resulted in a small window with a red cross in the top right corner. 

Only after closing all other word documents and finally the email message the last document would come to live and appear on the screen as expected.

how to type poem with line breaks after words in line

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT

How does type a poem such as an e.e. cummings's poem that has word breaks or even syllable breaks within a line. I do not want to return to the left margin when starting to type in the line and I do not want to use spaces or tabs from the margins.

Example:

He had told him-
                         self "I am dy-
                                            ing; I am dy-

This example uses spaces, which are tedious and create issues in publications.

Issue between 365 word and 2010 style settings compatibility

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:45 AM PDT

I am a college student taking an online Business English class. I am having compatibility issues. I use Office 365 Word and my teacher is using Office 2010 Word. I set the Style settings to the specified requirements single spaced 0,0. After my teacher has opened the documents the line spacing is off. This is a problem we are graded on spacing and structure. I have set; re-set;and set the same settings and they will not remain the same. Each paper has the same problem. I used compatibility mode and still has not helped.

MS Word 2010: Changing Notes Styles Based on Bulleted List

Hello,

 

I imported Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles from a 2003 template to a 2010 Word Template.

 

The Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles are based on a Bulleted/Nunbered List style, however, when I click the Define New Number format button and change the font and/or point size, I cannot save these changes. Why not? How do I change the point size and Font in a Note | Caution | Warning based on a Numbered list?

If the same document is opened in word 2013 throws a messages "some of the regions you can edit overlap, and it is not possible to show them at the same time.User the 'Find next region i can edit' button to show each region individually" during opening of the document. Only way is to click OK in dialog and then word displays 3 options select "edit document" under View to get back to normal view.

Is there a way to disable this message??

Template - Difficulties Ahead... Numbering, Cutting & Pasting

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have a question on templates using word 2010 that I have created: -

 

Document Style Numbering

Q1: I have created new styles in the template, these styles will not cross reference as Headings? also when exporting information to software packages outside of word they are not recognised? Does anybody have a solution for this? as otherwise will have to revert to using the Heading 1 -Heading 9 in Word and restructure to the formatting I created for the styes CM 1 - CM2

 

which now leads to problem 2

 

I done a test run on this and took my template, created a new template, rematched Heading 1 Heading 9 to be relective of CM 1 to CM 9. Deleted the styles that I had created and now the Heading 1 - Heading 9, the numbering does not work?

 

Cutting & Pasting

 

When cutting & pasting from other documents users are experiencing difficulties with the template (obv... the template opens as a new document), also I have had complaints about using graphics, i.e. the pictures jumping all over the place, has anybody experience this, and I have done something wrong when I created the template.

 

I really want to resolve early issues going forward and get this right,

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Word Find/Search Results Don't Fit Properly in Navigation Bar

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:36 AM PDT

I'm not sure when this changed or if I did something, but now in Word 2013 when I search (Ctrl-F) the Results that appear in the Navigation pane on the left are 1.5 lines long, which means I often can't see enough to read the result. I think this used to be 2 or 3 full lines.

 

Is there a place where I can adjust how much text is displayed for Navigation Results when using Find/Search?

 

How many rows of text do others see for each of the Results?

 

Thanks,

Colin

Word 2010 Table Formatting using VBA macros

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:17 AM PDT

Dear All,

There are around 50 tables in my word document and I want to change the height and width of every cell in the document.

I was able to get a macro which would select the entire tables but when I am changing the height its only getting applied to that specific table.

I tried googling a lot and couldn't get any information.

So could someone help me with a macro code which I could use? Height 1.5" and Width is 2.3"

Protected text streams

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:09 AM PDT

I've been editing a document and found it impossible to hyphenate a paragraph where it looks good.  The hyphenation seems to treat several words as one.  I don't know how, but evidently the author must have set some fomatting feature on the text.  It is not revealed using Show/Hide.  I guess my question is how can a writer do this and how can it be disabled?

Word 2010 default save as location not being used when opening attachment from emails

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:51 AM PDT

I have spent ages searching for a solution but have not seen this reported anywhere.

I'd be grateful for any help or advice you can offer.

Thanks in advance.

Setting style for Accent tool in Word (Windows, Office 365)

Posted: 06 Oct 2013 05:53 PM PDT

With regret, let me start by saying that inserting accented letters into a Word document on Windows is much harder than it should be.  I have to use a lot of foreign words.  When there is a touchscreen available, I usually find myself resorting to the on-screen keyboard, and holding down the letter to get the pop-up menu (quickly giving you eēéêèë, for example).  The key-combination method on the Mac isn't perfect, but it's much better than Windows can offer with a physical keyboard.  Given that most people don't often need to type words like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" or "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I think you should reprogram the hardware keys to work like the virtual ones. 

My question, however, relates to the Accents tool in Word, which is almost passable, except that the letters always appear in Cambria Math italics rather than the style set for the paragraph.  Is there a way to set a default font and style for the tool?  It's useful for more than writing formulas.

Thank you for any assistance.

This might be Active Directory replication related problem. Make sure your

the Exchange server installed, then it had to have gone somewhere. :-)

You can also "focus" Exchange System Manager by manually creating a console

Exchange Monitoring Tools

Paco,

Exmon is a good tool that can be used to collect information on a server.
GFI allows monitoring at a service level. However, neither of these, at
least to my knowledge, can be used to accomplish what I am looking for. I'm
hoping to find something that can send a mail through the system so that the
integrity of the entire process can be tracked.

Mark's right here, although you actually can back up separate mailbox stores
simultaneously with different jobs. Once all databases within a storage
group have been backed up, the logs will then be flushed. You won't see
performance "advantages" from having multiple mailbox stores, at least not
IMHO. The biggest reason would be as you say, to isolate corruption and
then if your backup window/restore window is tight. I would contend that
most causes of corruption (hardware issues) won't necessarily be such that
it is limited to just one mailbox store, but it's a valid argument.

you can go here, http://www.dnsstuff.com/ and enter a domain you are having
issues with at top right (titled DNS Lookup) and pick 'MX' from the drop
down and hit 'Lookup'. It should show you the full name related to the MX
record and then below it should give you the IP address for that name.
Telnet to that IP on port 25 (at command prompt: telnet <enter>, then open
IPaddress 25 <enter>) and see if you get a response. If not, you don't have
connectivity to that domain. If so, you can try the commands as explained in
the link Mark sent you for SMTP

How do I get my screensaver to come on when I leave my computer

Posted: 13 Jul 2005 03:06 PM PDT

Hi Dottie,

Screen savers are often .SCR file types, which
you can search for using Start=>Search/Find.

Once you've found the screen saver you wish to use
you can create a shortcut to it and place
it on a toolbar or on your desktop. Right click the
shortcut and you can assign a keyboard shortcut that
you can use to activate it when you walk away from your
computer.

Hi Gerry,

Short version is that the 'intelligent setup', if
left on its own will generally believe that when you
update from a prior version of Office (MST files only
apply to a first install of a product) that if you/users
have set things up they probably want to continue to work
the same way, so their settings, rather than the Office
defaults, or the ones you've set as 'new user' defaults
are migrated (carried forward).

If you use the 'do not migrate' choice for an individual
element or a tree branch, or use the settings value of
NOFEATURESTATEMIGRATION =1
for the transform you're telling the installer to replace
the user's current choices, features, settings with what
you're selecting as part of standardization in the upgrade.

Another case where you may see Add/Remove programs not matching
is if your ini file mentions a different MST.

OK, I've looked into it in some detail.

It turns out that Add/Remove programs was correctly finding my transform (I
can see from the log file), but for some reason the feature list in the UI
was showing Office defaults instead of those set in the transform.

I created a new transform, and this time ticked the box "Do not migrate
previous installation State" on screen 7 of 24. I then chose to apply it to
the whole tree.

Reinstalling office on the client machine, and going into "Add/Remove
Programs", now correctly shows the feature list chosen in the transform.

I don't really understand "Do not migrate previous installation State", does
it mean from a previous version of Office or a previous install of THIS
version of office? The help file seems unhelpful.

LOOKING FOR A .MSP FILE FOR OFFICE 03 STD.

Posted: 08 Jul 2005 05:59 PM PDT

I am making progress.

I can now begin the setup and installation. However once the installation
begins about 30 seconds in it says there was an error installing.

So with the help of you and a couple of others I am making ground. But can
not fully install the std edtion.

So I beleive there is still stuff in there from the trial version and/or
updates after trial version was installed.

When I run the Office cleaner it tells me these files still exist....
So I complete the cleaner and run it again and they are still there, I have
tried manual deletion and the computer will not let me delete.

Microsoft Office Removal Wizard -- List of files to be removed:

"Microsoft Office 2002 AND VS.NET"
C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\Speech\1033\SPCPLUI.DLL
C:\program files\Common Files\SpeechEngines\Microsoft\SPCOMMON.DLL


I have attempted installation 5-7 times and it stops at the same point. I
have sent error reports to microsoft when prompted but do desire a quicker
solution.

Thanx again for all of your help thus far, please if you have more thoughts
or info contact me or reply thanx again.

Office 2003 viewers silent install

Posted: 08 Jul 2005 06:10 AM PDT

Hi Stefano,

If you extract the viewer files to an empty folder then
run setup from that folder to deploy it do you still get
this?

========= 
Hi
I tried to quietly install the office 2003 viewers using the /Q option
but it still prompts the users for EULA acceptance and destination dir.
How can I install them really quietly ?

Thanks

can't open network files

Posted: 08 Jul 2005 05:32 AM PDT

Office 2000 verifies the status of each mapped drive connection when
selecting the Look In drop down, thus causing a noticeable delay in the
initial display of the dialog.
Wordpad, Internet Explorer uses the status maintained by the Operating
System, which allows these to display quickly.

How to make Word the default HTML editor

Posted: 08 Jul 2005 12:29 AM PDT

Hi SeaMain,

Can't tell you if Firefox has a setting to influence
this, or if it may be related to the sequence of
installs. The Office apps (depending on version) will
normally write themselves in as options for Internet
Explorer in Tools=>Internet Options=>Programs.

Check the value in this registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Default HTML Editor
It has subkeys including a shell extension.

Have you tried running a repair reinstall of Office
with IE active?


===============
<<"SeaMaid" <com> wrote in message news:phx.gbl...
Both these boxes are already checked.

- Check if Office is the default editor for Web pages created in Office
- Check if Word is the default editor for all other Web pages

Anything else I can try to get Word included in Internet Options as HTML
editor? Would this have anything to do with Firefox being the default
browser? I changed Internet Explorer back to the default browser to see if
that might make a difference but it has not. >>

How do I stop "Word" trying to install each time I run it.

Posted: 06 Jul 2005 09:35 AM PDT

Thanks Gupta. Before I got your reply I had already figured out to put my
"Office" disc in and took the option in the menu to "repair" rather than
install. This was successful. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Office 2003 and GPO configuration

Posted: 05 Jul 2005 01:41 PM PDT

Hi Bobby,

To add to the reply from VS, I'm not sure I'm clear on
what action you're looking to take as far as using Group
Policies for your scenario.

The .ADM files are not edition specific (they basically
write registry entries), but OEM editions of Office
don't support managed deployment from an Office Admin Point.

========
<<"Bobby Phillips" <Bobby microsoft.com> wrote in message

Does anyone know if the .adm files to configure office 2003 only work on the
oem version or is it just the open license version. Any help would be
appreciated.

can windows run in spanish language

I fail to see what this has to do with Microsoft Office.

But the answer is "no". If you want Windows and/or Office with a Spanish
GUI, then you must /buy/ it/them in Spanish and in the case of Windows,
perform a clean installation. You will require a full licence of each.

You could have found this information yourself had you bothered to STFW.

My apology for the delay. You are right. My supplier used his disk to
