| How to make index reflect pagination of content Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:12 PM PDT I recently self-published a 400 page book on Createspace and learned, to my horror, that the index is 9 pages off, because Word counts all the pages. How do I get the index to start counting page 1 where I start it, rather than all the meta-data pages? John Gadway |
| Co-authoring in MS Word occasionally does not save the latest version to the SharePoint server Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:07 PM PDT I am having a major issue with co-authoring the Microsoft Word documents in SharePoint 2013. It is difficult to reproduce the original issue but, here is a scenario:
Things to consider:
It seems like the auto-save functionality of Word is interfering with the upload process during co-authoring. I have tried to get some documentation on the web as to what happens in the back-end during co-authoring, but I was not very successful. If someone could point me in the direction on where I can find information on co-authoring architecture and its relation to auto-save, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance. |
| field code page numbers and section breaks Posted: 15 Oct 2013 01:59 PM PDT I'm have an issue with a template that uses field codes (field name: Page) for the page numbers. all is fine until I make section breaks. Then, the page numbering starts over on every new section. Even when I tell it to continue numbering from previous section, it holds the numbering for a while but not long. Does anyonone know the solution to this problem? Thank you ahead for your help! I'm on a deadline here! I have the footer linked to previous!

| Posted: 15 Oct 2013 12:09 PM PDT Hi there, While typing in Microsoft Word Starter the program becomes non responsive. The screen becomes dim and at the top of the menus say"Microsoft Word Starter (Not Responding)". The application freezes and you can't save or shut the program. |
| Word 2010 user form-inserting text fields conditionally Posted: 15 Oct 2013 12:06 PM PDT I have created a Word 2010 form for users in different departments; the form has many content controls. I want to be able to add unique additional text fields, based on the user selecting their department in the form. I have tried using quick parts, and I tried creating a text field with autocorrect to replace text if the user keys "#dept1" or "#dept2" etc. The problem is that the quick parts and autocorrect data is stored on my PC, so when another user tries the form these features don't work! The users are not on the same LAN, so there is no common location for me to store the quick parts or autocorrect data. I've been reading through many MVP VBE examples but I am a newbie to VBE. Before I try the examples: does the VBE code "save" into the form so that it will be available to others who use the form on their own PCs? Or is there another, easier way to accomplish this?
Thank you! |
| Using Quick Parts to create complete pages Posted: 15 Oct 2013 11:49 AM PDT I thought that Quick Parts in Word 2010 was going to solve a number of problems developing electronic forms where pages go from portrait to landscape.
I wanted to set up a Quick Part that had the Header and Footer set up for both portrait and landscape for our engineering documents or basically, any form that shifted from portrait to landscape orientation and needed the header/footer positions to change with the orientation. I wanted to set up a Gallery whereby the users could select the specific oriented page with appropriate header/footer for their document and insert it in it's own page. While you can select all elements on the text layer to create a cover page and either an Autotext entry or Quick Part, you can only select either the header OR the footer on that layer, thereby making it impossible, except thru a macro, to add a new page to a document intact from the Gallery.
Does anyone have any ideas how this can be accomplished? Is there any other way to do this other than creating a macro, tied to either a button in the QAT or Key Combo?
What I have tried so far.... For each of the Header/Footer orientations, I first created the header/footer I wanted to use with all elements including cross references and page fields, then created and ran a macro that: 1. Inserted Section Break Next Page 2. Changed Orientation 3. Opened Header/Footer 4. Selected Header 5. Inserted Quick Part formatted Header 6. Switched to Footer 7. Inserted Quick Part formatted Footer 8. Closed Header/Footer.
This created a usable page but it seemed a messy way to just add a page, in a specific orientation with specific headers/footers.
Is there an easier way?

| Posted: 15 Oct 2013 11:39 AM PDT Hi, I Posts the Question to Skydrive Forum and they suggest me to post here too. My Environment is - Windows 8 with Skydrive for PC (Modern and Desktop) - Office 2013 (32-bit) - Skydrive for iOS (iPhone and iPad) Right now, I don't have problem to work with Office 2013. it can create, open and save normally. the problem is when I want to access via Skydrive (Web) including Office Web App and Skydrive for iOS (iphone and iPad) 1. File can be download normally via web 2. I can open file to view via Office Web App 3. I can open file to edit via Office Web App --> Edit in Word (Office 2013) 4. I can't open file to edit via Office Web App--> Edit in Word Web App. it display (Sorry, this document can't be opened for editing) 5. I have same issue with Skydrive for iOS. It unable to download and open to view. What's happened with my Office Web App? |
| Hyperlinks in Word: Sometimes there, sometimes not. Posted: 15 Oct 2013 11:27 AM PDT I know I'm doing something wrong but have no idea where to even start. I use Word 2003 for making webpages and it works great for my needs. Too bad more people don't realize it can be used for this. Just save as a webpage, FTP (Core FTP is free and there are others) it to your ISP's free webspace that almost everybody gets and voila - you have a free webpage you control completely. HIGHLY recommended for when you're just starting. Plus, so many people know how to use Word very well. For photos and videos use free photo/video hosting websites to minimize bandwith. There are quite a few.
On to my problem. I get these OLE_LINK error links that pop up. Is there any way of ridding the page of them? Sometimes there is a Remove Link button on the right, sometimes not. I thought there used to be an Add Link somewhere but now that is gone.
Sometimes Target Frame is there, sometimes not.
I don't even know where to start to determine why there are these inconsistencies.
What I'm trying to do, that I did before, is to enable the reader to click a link at the top of the page to take them to somewhere else within the same page. This enables an instant transition, unlike loading another webpage.
Please do not supply Microsoft "Help" links. 99% of the population finds them useless. Just tell us what to do please. This can't be that complicated. For someone that knows Word well it should be a snap. |
| Microsoft Office can't open any documents, or even create a document Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:57 AM PDT I was just able to use any and all documents that I created. Now I can't open any documents because it comes up that microsoft office has stopped responding. Also it says "the document caused a serious error the last time it was opened. You may continue opening it or perform data recovery by clicking 'Recover Data'. Clicking 'Recover Data' will extract text out of your document but all formatting and pictures will be lost." Everytime I try to open a blank document it says Microsoft Office is not responding. The last thing that I downloaded on my Windows 7 OS is Norton Antivirus 360 and a Garmin GPS Software upgrade/update. |
| Word 2013 Screenshot option is grayed out and will not work Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:59 AM PDT Hello and thanks for the help. I am using Office 2013, a brand new, install using the repair and correct options, so please don't tell me to repair office. I am also using Windows 7. When I go to the Insert Tab/Ribbon, in the Illustrations Group, the Screenshot tool is grayed out. I have checked to ensure that no protection is turned on and that all tracking options are turned off. I have closed the software, rebooted the computer, tried in old documents, brand new documents with the .docx extension and documents that have been upgraded from previous versions, nothing allows me to use the tool.
Any ideas what may be causing this problem? Oh...the tool works fine in all of the other Office 2013 applications.
Thanks again, Sheri |
| New documents in Word 2007 open with text already appearing in them. Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:58 AM PDT Whenever I open a new "blank" document in Word 2007, the document has the following text already in it: Formula Sheet d=square root of (x)() I am not sure how to prevent this from continuing to happen in future new documents. I suppose its no big deal to just delete the text or type over it but it just annoys me that I can't figure out whats causing it. Any suggestions? |
| Select all Objects in Word 2007 that span across multiple pages Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:18 AM PDT I have a 368 page user manual full of screenshots that I was asked to update and edit. All of the pasted screenshots have yellow ovals highlighting certain areas. The screenshots are basic jpegs and were not inserted into a drawing canvas. The oval callouts are all basic msft shapes, and they are the only "objects" in my document. Unfortunately, yellow disappears when printed in black and white, so we need to change the color of those ovals to something more substantial.
When I use the "Select Objects" feature it highlights just the ovals on a page without a problem. However, I can't get the select box to extend to other pages. Is there ANY way to get "select objects" in 2007 to select ALL the objects, across almost 400 pages?
Please help! |
| Word 2013 Page Background Colour Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:30 AM PDT Hi, I use Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium and I want to permanently change the background colour of Word documents (including ones I download or those sent to me) to light blue so it's easier to read. Changing the theme doesn't change the colour of the page. This was do-able in older versions of Office but I can't seem to figure it out for 2013. I'd appreciate your thoughts. |
| Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:07 AM PDT In a Table Of Contents I can use CTRL + Click to go to the numbered page. There is no facility for this in an Index I have created in a document. If it isn't automatic I would have thought there would have been a switch I could use when creating the Index. Any help please. |
| Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:33 AM PDT Hi, stuck and looking for some help with a macro. I have several word documents that I need to make changes to. I'm looking to change all instance of 1st, 2nd 3rd (all ordinals) into superscript. Here is what I have. Sub super ( ) ' Changes all ordinals to superscript ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font .Superscript = True .Subscript = False End With With Selection.Find .Text = "([0-9]{1,2})([dhnrst]{2})" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub But this changes all of the text in the search term (which is expected) into superscript. And this is where I'm stuck. I only want to change the second part of the string into superscript. How can I do this? I've googled this and the best I can come up with is that I need to "tag" the first part of the string. I don't know how to do that. Help! |
| Posted: 15 Oct 2013 01:44 AM PDT I've been trying to create a form using word where the user selects an item from a drop down list in Combo Box Content Control once they select it I want it to prefill the next line on the form with set responses based on what they selected from the list.
Is there anyway to do this?
E.g. User selects "Team A" from drop down list next line prefills with access to "Front Door, Windows & and inner door". Next user selects "Team C" from drop down list next line the prefills access to "Front Door only" |

| Unable to Insert Any Charts on Office 2013 Professional Posted: 14 Oct 2013 10:37 PM PDT Hello! I've been really frustrated with a problem that I seem to be having with my Word 2013. Whenever I go to insert a chart, the window simply reappears instead of inserting a chart. For example, to insert a line graph, I click: Insert > Chart > Line and then I double click the preview image of the chart. However when I do that, instead of inserting the chart, the window simply disappears for a fraction of a second and then reappears. The same thing occurs when I simply hit the "OK" button instead of double clicking the preview. The ONLY way for me to exit out of the prompt is then to hit cancel otherwise it keeps popping back up. This lack of ability to insert any chart (line, pie, bar, etc.) is very frustrating, especially since my job involves me preparing a number of reports. Any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: By the way, I tried doing a full uninstall followed by a clean install on my computer, but that hasn't yielded any results. It seems to only happen on my specific personal user account though, not when I'm using Word on my colleague's computers or around the office. |
| Word, Excel and Outlook stopped working Posted: 14 Oct 2013 10:11 PM PDT Installed All in one printer and now Word, Excel and Outlook are not working. I can see that ABBYY Finereader Sprint 9.0 loaded with the printer and understand that can cause Office not to work. I have been unable to disable the add-in for ABBYY finereader, as everytime I enter word in safe mode I get a pop up saying program is not working, therefore I can't Click on the File menu, then Options and then on Add-Ins and then click on the Go button alongside Manage Add-ins. Is there a way around this, or another place I can go to disable the add-in for ABBYY Finereader?
I ended up uninstalling ABBYY Finereader and Word,Excel and Outlook are working again. But I still need to reload it for my scanner to work. Any help on how to disable the add-in when I can not get to File - Options from within Word, Excel or Outlook? |
| Microsoft Word has stopped working Posted: 14 Oct 2013 08:15 PM PDT Two days ago, it was working fine, but today, every time I run Microsoft Word, I get an error message "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and then "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information" then finally back to "Microsoft Word has stopped working" again and a close button. I've done everything I can think of to get it working again. I tried a repair. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Office2010. I tried running Windows Update (which installed a bunch of Office 2010 updates). Nothing has helped. Even if I try running in safe mode, I get the same error every time. I am able to run Outlook and Excel just fine. It's only Word that has a problem. I tried running Windows Restore and going back to a restore point a couple of days ago when it was working, but this fails saying that a file cannot be accessed and that I should shut off my anti-virus. But I tried turning off anti-virus and it still doesn't work. So I'm stuck. The first time it crashed, I was attempting to open a file from SkyDrive from my web browser. I think that might have something to do with it and that something somehow got corrupted that first time, but I don't know how to fix it. When I run Word, I can see the Document Recovery pane on the left side with a list of some of my recent documents, some of which are from SkyDrive. These are still there even though I uninstalled and re-installed Office. Is there some way to clear this cached data? Do you think that might help? I'm open to any other suggestions. At this point, all I can think to do is completely format my hard drive and re-install the O/S and I really don't want to do that and have to re-install everything. Please help, I am at my wits end. |
| Once Upon A Time Word 2013 Stop Responding Posted: 14 Oct 2013 07:32 PM PDT Once upon a time, Word 2013 worked great. Then one day, it stops responding EVER AFTER - after a few minutes (whether I'm using it or when I leave it on). I've tried EVERYTHING I read in this forum, all fail! The only solution is to uninstall and reinstall. Problem is, the solution only works for a day. The next day, it will stop responding again. My specs: * Windows 7 Ultimate * Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.60GHz * RAM 4GB * 32 bit * Word 2013 in Compatibility mode * NO com add-ins * NO Abbyy Finereader * NO Toshiba Book Reader * NO NVWGF2UM.DLL * NO Acrobat PDFMaker * NO Fun Tools My FAILED attempts to fix it: * Disable graphic acceleration !!! * Run in safe mode !!! * Run Microsoft Fix It * Run regedit and erase some entries suggested in this forum I'm tempted to reinstal my Windows 7. If it fails, I'd use Word 2007 instead >< I REALLY HATE Office 2013 (Word) - so UNSTABLE !!!Even uninstalling it take a LONG time! |
| How can I open a document with an end tag/start tag mismatch when the automatic fixit does not work? Posted: 14 Oct 2013 07:19 PM PDT There is a document that I need that will not open and this error message appears: The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 109653 I tried the automatic fixit for this but it did not work. Please help. Thank you. |
| Posted: 14 Oct 2013 05:20 PM PDT Hello from Steved
Objective: Find Text only ignore numerals, When found delete paragraph.
In this for example delete the paragraph "The predictions are for the use" as it contains only text In this for example do not delete the paragraph "12:10 RACE 1 - 17 Oct 2013 WOOD Fine Dead 5.0 Mdn $7000 1200 Ch : 1 (MG) (JR)" as it contains numerals which I do not want to delete the paragraph
This will find any paragraph [!^13]{1,}[^13] So please how do I change it to find Text Only.
Thankyou. |
| Word 2013 Table Selector Missing Posted: 14 Oct 2013 04:15 PM PDT When I add a table to Word 2013 the table selector (outside the top left corner) is missing so I can't select the table or move it using this selector. Only happens with one copy of Word 2013 - the second copy works just fine. If I make a document with a table in the version it works with then open it in the version I am having problems with - ditto... the selector is missing. Anyone else having this problem? And have you found a solution? Helen Bradley |

| Posted: 14 Oct 2013 03:24 PM PDT After a windows auto update, I can no longer use my MergeMail. I usually just create a MergeMail template and it pulls up the data source which is an excel doc. I can open the excel doc going to it directly, but can't through my WORD MergeMail. I've tried restarting the computer, taking the doc off the Drpbox cloud and into My Documents, tried creating a newMergeMail template, and went back to ones I have used in the past that now no longer pull up the data source in excel. Anyone run into this?
Thanks,
Bob |
