Reopen all closed Word files at the exact pages

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 02:59 PM PDT

Hello. 
I am currently aware that on Office 2013 (on windows 7x64) has the ability to reopen a document and keep reading right where we left off (http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/what-s-new-in-word-2013-HA102809597.aspx). However I was wondering whether via vba if it would be possible to save all the open files and the exact pages/view that they are and reopen them at a later stage (kind of like saving it as a session and reopen them on restarting a computer). I am aware of copying file location one by one but having to do so with dozens of document each and every time is a bit tedious. ( I have to restart my computer each time to connect to the internet wifi.)
Thanking you
Yours sincerely.

Keeping font consistent when filling in forms using controls

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 02:46 PM PDT

Hi

 

I have a document and I want to take out some text and replace it with a form control and turn it into a template so users can just fill in the form and the rest is protected.  I want them to always use a consistent font  when they fill it in.

 

However, when I inserted the control and formatted it to the font I want, then turned on protection and tried to fill in the form controls, I lost the font...I could not keep the fill in part with a consistent font.

 

How can I do that?

 

thank you for any assistance!

How can I format the line spacing within track changes comment balloons?

Blue Screen while working in Word 2007/2010

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I have a 60 user office where we just upgraded about 3/4th of the machines to either Latitude E5530 (10) and Optiplex 3010's (34).

 

Most users do not have a problem but there are a handful 2-3 Latitude users and another 3-4 Optiplex users who randomly get blue screens when working in Word (both 2007 and 2010).

 

We've tried a bunch of things - repairing office, removing and reinstalling, SP's, removing profiles and reattaching to network, updating drives for all hardware, etc. and cannot come up with a fix.

 

We've used a Blue Screen error viewer on the dump file and the issue seems to be associated with the file mrxsmb10.sys.

 

If anyone has any ideas or have dealt with this issue in the past I'd love to hear what you did to correct or any ideas to try.

 

 

 

DISABLE Auto Toolboxes for Text Boxes and Pictures in Word2007

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:11 AM PDT

Word2007 on Vista. 

 

 If I pause during adding/editing text in a Word doc that has a text box or picture, a toolbox tab suddenly appears (highlighted, among the other tool categories (Insert, Page Layout, etc.) at the top of the screen), and I am immediately taken to the text box or picture, where it is highlighted for editing. 

 

This is EXTREMELY annoying and wastes an extraordinary amount of time.  I have been all over Word and the internet for a solution.  How do I turn off/disable this ridiculous auto function?! 

 

Thank you!!

2013 Office home and student stopped working

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:02 AM PDT

Well my 2013 office home and student stopped working. When I try to open a word document I get a message that it ran into problem. I see that this a common problem in this forum. I am on a deadline for school. Of course, you can't actually talk to someone. There is no option to fix it. What do I do, besides not buy Microsoft. Where's the support? Seems to be a common problem with this product. I am not a tech nor should I be this quick. Ok, I'll step off my soapbox. How do I fix it? Remember I am not a tech.

Microsoft Word 2010 - Trying to create Avery Label 5195 merging Excel DB Information Automerge error plus...

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:46 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010 - Trying to create Avery Label 5195 merging Excel DB Information Automerge error plus...

Merging DB information seems so easy and yet it is not importing the DB information correctly.  (i.e. Creates an Automerge field and will not import dollar amounts with $ sign and decimal setup correctly.  It inputs the amount, such as 3.95, but then adds 00000000000002 to the end of it to show 3.9500000000000002.  Have tried it several times with the same outcome.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it a bug in the software?  The merge process seems pretty cut and dry, so I'm not sure what to do here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary Callahan

Unable to print in Word 2013

When I try to print with Word 2013 I get a pop up that asks Print to file, then an error message when I select the name of the document as the file

 

I have already saved the document but it seems to want to save it again and then sends another pop up asking if I want to replace it because I already have a doc with the same name.

when opening program multiple windows appear and keep opening

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:07 AM PDT

When opening windows a blank document does not appear. Rather, multiple documents I have worked on recently rapidly open, one after another and then the program crashes. I have restarted and tried updates. Nothing is fixing it. ????

Suggestion: Don't require multiple logins to use Word web app

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:02 AM PDT

Using the Word Web App is difficult because I have to log in more than once.

 

Here's a description of what I experienced today.

 

1) I went to Office.com and clicked "Sign In" in the upper righthand corner.

 

2) I typed my email address into the box that appeared. A brief notification told me: "Account Found," and I was redirected to another page.

 

3) I was then prompted to sign in again, with the cursor in the "email" box, even though my email address had been pre-filled. I had to click on the password field, then type my password.

 

4) I was then presented with the "My Office" page. I wanted to work on a recent Word document. I searched for it, found it, and clicked on that document in the "Recent documents" section of the page.

 

5) I was then presented with yet another log in prompt, this time for SkyDrive. I typed my username and password and logged in again.

 

6) Finally, I was able to see the document and make the edits I needed to make.

 

This process should be much simpler. In the competing Google Drive product, I am usually not prompted to log in at all, because Google remembers my sign in.

Heading 2 is not listing properly with other sections

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:43 PM PDT

I'm frustrated with a glitch in my Word Doc. I'm compiling a thesis and the Heading 2 is the only Heading that doesn't list in the desired order.

I'm going for the following

Heading 1 :  1
Heading 2 : 1.1
Heading 3 : 1.11
Heading 2 : 1.2
H1: 2
H2: 2.1
H3: 2.1.1.
H2: 2.1.
etc. etc.

What I'm getting is
H1: 1
H2: 1
H3: 1.1.1
H2: 2
H3: 1.1.2
H1: 2
H2: 3

I've tried highlighting all heading 2's and modifying to include numbering but it just doesn't seem to want to correlate with the rest of the headings. Please help.

Word will not accept that I don't want a List

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:37 PM PDT

I have a paragraph that goes like this:
"(1) The Beggar, (2) the Knave, (3) the Artisan, (4) the Merchant, (5) the Noble, (6) the Knight, (7) the Doge, (8) the King, (9) the Emperor, (10) the Pope. The second contains the Muses and their Divine Leader: (11) Calliope, (12) Urania, (13) Terpsichore, (14) Erato, (15) Polyhymnia, (16) Thalia, (17) Melpomene, (18) Euterpe, (19) Clio, (20) Apollo. The third combines part of the Liberal Arts and Sciences with other departments of human learning, as follows: (21) Grammar, (22) Logic, (23) Rhetoric, (24) Geometry, (25) Arithmetic, (26) Music, (27) Poetry,(28) Philosophy, (29) Astrology, (30) Theology. The fourth denary completes the Liberal Arts and enumerates the Virtues: (31) Astronomy, (32) Chronology, (33) Cosmology, (34) Temperance, (35) Prudence, (36) Strength, (37) Justice; (38) Charity, (39) Hope, (40) Faith. The fifth and last denary presents the System of the Heavens (41) Moon, (42) Mercury, (43) Venus, (44) Sun, (45) Mars, (46) Jupiter, (47) Saturn, (48) A Eighth Sphere, (49) Primum Mobile, (50) First Cause."

And MS Word keeps setting it as a list item with (1) being the first number as a list. So I set it to not be a list, and it completely removes the 1. When I add it back, it reformats it as a list in an endless cycle of ruining my paragraph. How do I make it not do this?

EDIT: I got it to stop, but I still have no idea which setting was responsible for this heinous crime.

Microsoft Word won't open

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:23 PM PDT

               Whenever I try to open Word 2013, it gives an error message saying "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?" The text is followed by 3 options; Repair now, Help, and Close. I've tried the quick/online repair and that didn't work. I've uninstalled Finereader, and it still hasn't helped me. I've even updated the third party file that's been causing people issues and it hasn't worked. I am not sure where to find the NVIDIA driver so I can rename it, and I don't have Acrobat or Fun tools/Tobishia Book reader. 
                                                                       
               I'm slightly frustrated because the technicians at the retail store where I bought the computer and the software are trying to get me to buy another copy of Office, when I already have the software installed. I've scanned through the posts on these forums and on the issues similar to mine I still seem to be having trouble. I would greatly appreciate if any of you could help me out.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post,

Just purchased Office 2013. Installation went fine, except Word won't open. Excel, Powerpoint, everything other Office program works fine, but I can't get Word to work. 

I have Windows 8.
I have tried repairing Office from the Programs and Features menu (both quick and internet repair, both to no success).
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. It might be worth noting that none of the office programs worked until I uninstalled and then re-installed. Now only Word does not work.
Have tried opening Word in safemode, no luck.

Help please?

Equations in Word that are hyperlinks do not save italics or minus signs - how do I overcome/work around this?

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:43 PM PDT

An equation within a Word document that hyperlinks to a bookmark within the document does not save properly. When the document is re-opened, italics have vanished and minus signs appear as small hyphens.

This is extremely frustrating for teachers producing maths worksheets where questions hyperlink to answers. I can save to pdf to distribute to students, but any time I need to edit for a proof-reading change, I also have to comb through the whole document to re-italicize every pronumeral, and re-type every minus sign.

Anything you could do to speed up such a process in the presence of the problem would be most appreciated. If the problem itself can be fixed, even better. Thanks :)

Can't Open New Word Docs!

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 05:14 PM PDT

Hello, I am annoyed.  I am able to create docs with my Word 2010 Starter program, but as of a couple months ago when somebody sends me a new Word Doc. (no idea what format, year etc.) I'm unable to view it - getting a message telling me there is no program to open it.  Also, the "icon" in my files for these new docs look completely different - theyre orange and state "DOC file", where word docs that I create state "DOCX and look more like a "page".    What do I need to do?  Is there no upgrade for the Word Starter to allow us to also view later versions in Word?  OR - do I have to buy the full product???  Hoping I dont have to go there!!   Thanks for any help you can give!

Was afraid you might need to do this and I'm glad BestBuy was good

I suspect it had to do with the Promise controller on the mobo. WD
(and other disk makers) have had problems with them from time to time.
Seems it has to do the way the mobo maker incorporates the chips/cards
into the rest of the circiutry. I've never been able to decipher the
reported details of such glitches, so I don't really know if there is a
common thread of causation or just potluck.

As far as "brands" go, I don't pay _too_ much attention to them. I
agree with those that claim it's more luck of the draw re: which batch
or assembly line run the drive was from than the maker per se. They
all make good ones, they all put out turkeys from time to time. Then
again, good past experience can't be ignored and bad ones not soon
forgotten.

While the memories are fresh, you ought to take the time to note
symptoms and your efforts to make it work for future reference. You'll
forget the details in no time and with some notes you will at least
salvage some usefulness from the WD that refused to work. Google's
archiving seems to be unreliable as a means of note keeping these days.

Main thing though, glad you got one working :-)

Suse installation fail from ISO imge on Cd...Help

Sherry, did you try the advise I gave you a few days ago?
 

You need to type that in at the boot prompt. After you select "install,"
don't hit enter until you type that in. Then YaST should automatically go
to the site, automatically configuring your network.

I can tell by your post you didn't do it this way. Try it. If YaST still
can't configure your card (which I doubt), check the Suse site for the
correct driver for your card. The driver descriptions in YaST don't list
every card, just chipsets. There is a list somewhere that tells you which
driver works with which card. But if you try the above method, this
shouldn't be necessary.

Debian is another great choice, it comes with a great package
manager (apt), there's even a sophisticated gui (synaptics) or so.

But if you are afraid of the command line, debian might not be
what you want.
 
 

Not that I could think of, just be aware that running KDE3 under
suse requires a power-full machine with enough RAM or you won't
get happy with it.
 

There are no problems, you might want to install additional
fonts.

Good luck

I have to agree with the opinion RTFM. I failed the Install & config course
initially (At the time I only had the 1.0 material and took the eCourse -
waste of time). I then got hold of the 1.2 Manual and read it over & over
cover to cover. It was only this that helped me pass second time.

When you do read the manual, pay attention to the 'notes' in italics and
also all the sample questions. It's tough but seems to be the only way to
get through this....

It was not until I got hold of the 1.2 manual that things fitted into place
with both the DM and Crystal (the two bits missing from v1.0 materials) and
I passed after reading this book cover to cover a few times.

Hang in there - pay attention to the notes in the manuals and make sure that
you can answer all the sample questions without thinking - Good Luck.

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:

  • Three different users, User A, B, and C, are working on a document in a document library at the same time. (User A has Office 2013 while others have 2010 installed in their workstations.)
  • User A saves her work, closes her session, and assumes that her changes were uploaded to the server.
  • When User A opens the document at a later time, she gets an older version of the document! Her last updates were not saved to the server.

Things to consider:

  • User A can recover her changes from the Autosaved document in her local machine.
  • If the document is saved rapidly in succession, the document is does not show "Uploading to the server" message at the bottom of the document. Rather, it shows "Saving AutoRecovery file AS2345...". Sometimes, saving the AutoRecovery file seems to get stuck trying to save the file.
  • We turned off auto-save in Word, and it seems to have mitigated the above issue.

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.

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!

If I write a paper and two people separately edit the same paper tracking the changes, can the tracked changes made in both the edited copies be combined into one paper with all the edits

During typing a letter in Microsoft Word Starter(Not Responding) comes on the computer screen and the screen dims

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?

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.

Creating an Index in WORD

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.

Superscript Macro

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!

Combo Box Content Control

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" 

Cursor keeps jumping all over the place when typing and inserting parts of words into already typed text in a seemingly random manner

I have scanned for viruses (Norton360) but nothing comes up.
Can anyone advise, please?

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.

Word 2010 "Find Text Only"

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?

In addition it corrupts some of the text. Please help me......how can I resolve this? I have backed up data so non is lost but I can't move forward with out this corruption showing up.

mergemail

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,
