Microsoft Word - Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Microsoft Word - Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Drawing shapes in Word or Excel

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 03:04 PM PDT

In both Excel and Word, I often insert a photo then add annotation and shapes (lines, dimensions, arrows) over the photo for clarification. However the lines and shapes I add do not stay where I want them! How can I lock in what I have drawn over the photo?

 

For example, I write a Word doc describing a woodworking item that I have built, and include a photo. Over the photo I'll add some dimensions by inserting a text box, arrows, and lines. After editing the doc, later I find all the dimensions shifted out of place. The only way I fix this is by setting everything correct then immediately saving as a pdf. But I should be able to "lock" the drawing and my additions, right? I hope so.

 

Thanks much

OFFICE WORD 2010 (SPELLING AND GRAMMAR area)

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 02:28 PM PDT

HELLO

I have MS OFFICE WORD 2010,  When i go under the reveiw tab and click on THESAURUS and want to use that, my RESEARCH icon comes on at the same time, and hence I CANNOT USE THESAURUS. I DONT NEED RESEARCH, but want THESAURUS. I went to my CUSTOM my RIBBON area, and on there showed something about CHINESE stuff, which i DONT NEED/WANT/NOR PUT THAT THERE; and how do i get rid of the CHINESE info on the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON area. Plus the fact that on my document that i want to print out, my last paragraph comes out BOLD, like this. No other part of the document is bold, but just the last paragraph. I DID NOT CLICK ON THE BOLD TAB. I printed that last page 4 times, bold still comes on the last paragraph, but DOESNOT SHOW when i preview, or even i sent myself an email, and i also did a "SNIP-IP" and does not show bold. Only when i print it shows BOLD. I have W7 HOME PREMIUM and use MS WORD 2010, and have HP wireless printer.

ANY HELP or SUGGESTIONS!!

THANKS,

Does anyone know how to reset the page size after making an envelope in Word?

After making an envelope on Word I have not been able to restore the page sizing back to normal. I have tried deleting the pages but it keeps reformatting to look like this. I have also gone to page layout and tried resetting the page size but that has not worked.

Word not responding

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 08:03 AM PDT

I have noticed that when I have a certain number of pages open, Word 2003 suddenly stops responding.  I don't know exactly how many pages cause that to happen, but it seems to be five or six.  Is there a maximum number that Word will allow, or is it that my computer is deficient in memory?

Yes start enforcing protection button does not work

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

I created a form letter in which I inserted text fields.  I want to protect the form so that the only changes that can be made are restricted to the text fields.  I went to the developer tab and selected restrict editing.  Under Edit Restrictions I placed a check mark in the box labeled "Allow only this type of editing in the document" and then chose "Filling in Forms" from the combo drop down box.  I noticed that the "Yes start enforcing protection" button is not highlighted and therefore I can not enforce my restrictions.  My software is activated with Microsoft so I don't understand why this feature does not work.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Word 2013 Crashes When Spell Check Launched

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 07:32 AM PDT

Using a newly installed Word 2013 for the first time. All fine, except for the fact that when I click on Spellcheck, the program crashes immediately. Could this be a problem with the install? I'm currently on the month's free trial of Office 365, so perhaps that has something to do with it? I also found that Excel crashed straight away when I tried to open it, so this problem may not be specific to Word.

Problem opening opening documents from Office 365 in Office 2013 applications

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 05:09 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem which is really starting to annoy me. I use SharePoint Team Sites in Office 365 to store documents. However, whenever I try to open Word or Excel documents from my desktop computer which runs Office 2013 I get multiple login prompts from Word/Excel. I enter my Office 365 credentials but am finally faced with an error message stating that the document can't be opened. I'm having no problem at all opening the very same documents using my laptop which runs Office 2010. Also, I get a message in Word/Excel 2013 under Account / Connected Services that there is a server problem so the online services cannot be displayed. My Office version is 15.0.4535.1511.

 

I posted this problem on the Office 365 support web but was referred here as they said it's most likely an Office problem.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem and maybe found a solution for it?  

 

Regards,

 

Dave

Can I create a TOC to include appendices with Letters A,B etc, then sub headings A.1 etc

Posted: 19 Oct 2013 03:28 AM PDT

I have the usual Headings in the main part of  lengthy documents

e.g. Main Heading is 1, sub headings 1.1 then sub-sub headings 1.1.1 and so on (having followed Shauna Kelly's advice)

But... I'm unsure how to follow with or create Appendix Headings with letters and numbers.

This I hope would appear as A (main appendix heading)

then A.1 (sub appendix heading)

then A.1.1 (sub-sub appendix heading) patently the next main heading would B and so on.

Do I create a new Mult-level list? and then assign these to Heading styles 4, 5 and 6?

Do I need two TOCs ? if so where do I select the headings to be included in the 2nd TOC

Years ago I did this using 'captions' (probably incorrectly) but now there are 'images' and tables that need to be referenced in the TOC

 

Using: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Word version 14.0.6123.5001 (32-bit)

I believe with automatic updates from Microsoft

 

Many thanks in anticipation

Strange cursor behavior in one document

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:28 PM PDT

I have several documents with columns of cells. I've printed address labels from these docs for years, but I'm very frustrated because lately they are not printing as they display in print preview.

One is really driving me crazy: The right arrow moves the cursor from the end of the text to the outside edge of the columns, then to a position between the columns and near the bottom of the page. The only way to move it is with the arrow keys. Each time it moves via the arrow keys, it goes to that same position. In other similarly formatted docs the cursor goes across the page from cell to center to cell, then to the next row, etc.

I can keep moving it down with the arrow keys to the end of the page, outside the area of the cells. The back arrow moves it again to that odd position in the center. It's as if it is somehow stuck on the position.

I'm supposed to have 15 rows of cells but only get 14. If I add a 15th it goes to a new page. I think that rogue cursor has something to do with it.

I have probably not explained the situation very clearly, but I've tried.

How can I get the cursor to behave "normally" in this document?

Need VBA Error Handling Code for When ComboBox Removed from File by User

Hi- I've got a MS Word 2007 file with vba code that populates values in 20 combo boxes. Users rename the file and delete rows they don't need (along with combo boxes). When they open the file again, it results in a 'Method or Data Member Not Found' error message.

 

I tried to add error handling by using 'On Error Go To ErrorHandler',with ErrorHandler being 'Exit Sub' but I still get a 'Method or Data Member Not Found' error message. Any advice would be appreciated.

HTML

Posted: 26 Mar 2006 03:06 PM PST

That's not a feature of WordPad.

If you have a recent version of Microsoft Word, that can do a Save As to
HTML format.

Both Microsoft Word and WordPad use DOC as the default file format.

WordPad is a barebones word processor include in Windows. It supports
only a tiny fraction of the features of Word.

I suspect that your Open University course expects to you use MS Word
and not WordPad.

Since you posted in a Microsoft Works newsgroup, do you have Works? If
so, what version? My Works version 6 has the ability to read Word DOC
files and can also Save As to HTML format.

Hi Guy,

Jammer genoeg, dat is plaatsen niet facultatief in de Werken 7

Unfortunately, that setting is not optional in Works 7 but is available

Microsoft Work 8.5 Upgrade Eligible

Posted: 24 Mar 2006 12:22 AM PST



Homer J Simpson wrote: 

I am not sure what you have been referring to when you said "No reason I
can see it wouldn't qualify" but the question is about whether Works 8.5
will be a qualifying product for upgrade to Office 2003. The short
answer is no because for any upgrades, the qualifying program needs to
be hard wired in the setup.exe. This being the case, Office 2003 was
released well before Works 8.5 and so I can't see it would qualify for
upgrade to Office 2003.

To make things worse, Microsoft staff will not be able to help as they
don't email special setup files when ever there is a problem.
Contacting them is also a nighmare when you don't know which department
to contact.

The OP will need to buy Works 6, 7 or 8 from AMAZON if it is still being
sold for a sausage! otherwise it is not worth getting it.

Envelopes not printing correctly

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 12:49 PM PST

Hi,

The following copied from a previous post in this newsgroup.

Ken
---------------

I had a similar trouble, thing printed RED on envelopes only, contacted
LEXMARK support & this is what they said. PS: It fixed trouble.
Dave

Dear David,


Thanks for using our electronic support to assist you with this issue.


The problem you are experiencing is caused by the way the text is formatted
in most word processing documents. By default envelopes are printed not in
black, but a dark gray. This confuses the printer and causes it to use the
color cartridge to process gray instead of using the black cartridge. You
can fix this problem with one of 2 ways.


Please select the "Black" only option following the steps given below:


1. Click on "Start," "Control Panel" and click on "Printers and Faxes."


2. Right click on the "Lexmark printer icon" and select "Properties."


3. Select "Printing Preferences," click on the "Quality/Copies" tab and
choose "Print Color Images in Black and White."


4. Select "OK."


You can also change the color of your text to a true black in your word
processor. This will require you to resort to the word processor's
documentation and help files.


Both of these settings will cause your printer to use the black cartridge
instead of the color. If either one of these solutions solves your problem,
it means your color cartridge needs to be cleaned or replaced. If you feel
that the color cartridge should not be out of ink please try the following:


1. Go to the "Lexmark solution center." This can be done by clicking on
"Start," go to "Programs" and Lexmark printer group. Click on the "Lexmark
Solution center." Next click on the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Clean and Fix Horizontal streaks." This will produce a printed
page.


The colors that you should see here are black, yellow, magenta (a reddish
purple) and cyan (a dark sky blue). You should notice the diagonal lines
above and below the solid horizontal lines. These diagonal lines should be
solid from left to right with no gaps.


If there are gaps in the lines or the print diminishes across the page, you
should run the "Clean Print Nozzle" page a couple more times to try and
clear it up. If you still have gaps at the top and bottom, you should
"wick" the cartridges by following the steps given below:


1. Please open the "Solution center" again and go to the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Install color/black cartridge" and remove the cartridge or
cartridges from the printer.


3. Get a damp paper towel.


4. Set the ink cartridge right side up on the damp paper towel so that the
ink nozzles are against the towel and hold the cartridge in this position
for about 15 seconds.


5. Now wipe the print head (on the bottom where the ink comes out) across
in one direction only (left to right) until it looks clean.


6. Next dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure that the ink is
flowing.


7. Snap the cartridges back into the printer.


8. On your computer, select "Old Cartridge install."


9. Repeat the "Clean Nozzle Page" one more time. If this fails to address
the problem the entire procedure may need repeating.


If you have any more questions or concerns, please contact me at your
convenience and I will be happy to assist you. (If I am not available,
another representative will reply to you as soon as possible.) To respond,
please select "Reply" in your e-mail software, and be sure that the past

Works 7.0 mail merge Labels

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 07:08 AM PST

Hi Linda,

After using the following instructions do you still have the problem?

Ken
-----------------------

Mailing Labels using the Works Word Processor

1. Get a blank word processing screen in the Works Word Processor

2. Get the Tools menu and click on Labels (not on mail merge) then on the
bottom button for mailing labels and on OK.

3. Select the label size you want and click on New Document.

4. Click on the box for Merge information from another type of file and
select your database as the source or the address book.

5. Now you will see a page of labels the upper left one will be white and
the others shaded. Use the Insert Fields dialogue box to insert the fields
you want on your label in the white label.

6. Click on View Results and you will see the first label in the white
space. Scroll with the scroll bar at the bottom of the View Results dialogue
box to see all the labels in succession.

7. Click on Print Preview to see all of the labels on the pages. If you need
to edit any label you will need to go back too View Results and scroll to
the label to edit. This way you can change the font or color on any label.

8. If you want to change the font for all of the labels or have the print
colored go to the Edit menu, click on Select All and select the font and
color you want for all of the labels.

9. Print the labels on plain paper first to be certain they fit on the label
paper. You may have to adjust margins to make them fit.

Downloading clip art from MS web site to Works 8

Posted: 21 Mar 2006 02:48 PM PST

Hi,

I copied the following from my Works version 6.0 Word Processor help.

Perhaps you did not use Complete installation when installing Works, if not, Clip Gallery is not installed.

If you install Clip Gallery it can be accessed via Start >Programs >Microsoft Clip Gallery. Via's it's Help there is instruction on how to acquire/download and install more clips.

Ken
Add a picture using the Clip Gallery
Why use the Clip Gallery?
You can use the Clip Gallery to preview a variety of pictures, photographs, sounds, and motion clips that you can insert into your document.
If Works was installed using the Complete installation (recommended) option, Works installed approximately 150 pictures (also called clip art) and more than 10,000 thumbnails (a miniature representation of a file, text, or image) on your computer. Because all thumbnails for the Clip Gallery were installed, you can see all the clip art available in Works. If you choose to insert clip art that is represented only by a thumbnail, Works will prompt you to insert the Works compact disc (CD-ROM) so you can insert the picture into your document.

1 Click in the document where you want to insert a picture.

2 On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Clip Art.

3 If it is not already selected, click the Browse tab.

4 Under Select a category, click the category you want.
You can refine your search by choosing a sub-category under Select a sub-category, or a type of clip under Select a media type.


5 Click the picture you want, and then click Insert.
If the picture you want to insert is on the Works compact disc, you will be prompted to insert the disc containing the clip into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. After you insert the compact disc, Works will find the picture you want and insert it into your document.


Tips


a.. You can also add clip art to a document by clicking Insert Clip Art on the toolbar (a row of buttons near the top of a window that you can click to perform an action, such as to print or save a document).

b.. To resize clip art and maintain a picture's proportions, click the clip art object to select it, click a corner handle, and then drag (click the object you want to resize, click one of the small boxes surrounding the object, hold down the mouse button, move the mouse until the object is the size you want, and then release the mouse button) it until the object is the size you want.

Hi,

you're looking for dictionaries ?

Just take a look at the extensions page:

First, you can download the UK version of OpenOffice,.org
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

Second, you can set the default language "Tools - Options + Language
Settings - Languages".

Third, you can download and install additional dictionaries. Just open them,
as if they were documents, to install.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries
Warning - there is a recommended maximum of less than 10 to allow OO.o to work
at a good pace.

Fourth, you can set a language during a spell check on a document. This allows
for common French or Spanish words in English usage, or allows for a
multi-lingual country (Canada, USA, New Zealand).
"Tools - Spelling Check"

Lastly you can set language, on a per word/character basis.

[discuss] OpenOffice is it a community

Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:54 AM PDT

On 10/21/2010 06:20 AM, Jean-Baptiste Faure wrote: 

Their leading position in TDF/LO and OOo might bring them into conflicts
of interest (see below), so it is a valid request to ask them to choose
in which project they want to take a lead. Contributing to LO/TDF is no
problem even for a council member (at the end every contributor to OOo
also contributes to LO as they will use our code as a stone pit ;-)),
but being a *lead* in both project most probably won't fit.

IMHO all people that currently have a lead in both projects should
answer these questions:

(1) If a member of the OOo community asks you, which of the projects
(s)he should support (if time does not permits to support both), what is
your answer?

(2) If users, organizations etc. will ask you, which product they shall
use, what is your answer?

(3) Developers ask you if they shall contribute to LO only or to both
projects, what is your answer? Or moreover, if a developer that
contributed to LO doesn't ask, do you suggest that he should contribute
to OOo also?

If the answer won't be "OOo, OOo, both/yes", I think that it is time to
step back from leading positions in the OOo community, as this would be
the answer that can be expected from a project lead or council member of
OOo. Everything else will create confusion or even frustration in our
community that will hurt it.

Besides that: I'm sure that we will see new elections for the community
council seats. So everything that happens there is only a temporary
constellation.

Mathias

Hi Christian,

I wonder why you (without a need) exclude the more interesting
new/unconfirmed/started/reopened patch issues - some of them with
nice 4-digit issue numbers:

And then of course there's the code submitted elsewhere, e.g. via
cws - so limiting this question to a (subset of) patch issues looks
incorrect to me.

Then again, I *also* think (completely unscientifically), that most
of the code submitted to Sun under SCA/JCA has by now been
integrated in some way or another. So let's move on, to more
contentious topics (hint: there are a few alluded to, above). ;)

Word Mail Merge Shows the MERGEFIELD tag

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Hi 
  I am using Word 2010 .. trying to create a mailmerge. In the address block, I added an IF condition to suppress a NULL field. When I run the mail merge the NULL field is suppressed but I get this tag MERGEFIELD in the area. Fr eg, 
the merged field (after suppressing the null line looks like this):

John Doe
MERGEFIELD 123 SpringLane
Springfield, CA 93454

Can anyone please tell me how to make the MERGEFIELD caption go away?

Thanks

Microsoft Word 2010 Protected Form

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:28 PM PDT

I have a form that contains a table with 9 columns.  All the fields have Calculate on Exit checked.  The field in the 7th column is a calculation based on what is entered in the 9th column and what is calculated in the 8th column.  The 8th column is a calculation but was not set up as a field.  The amount is calculated based on a number of If statements depending on what was selected in the 1st column which uses a user form because of the 25 limit in a dropdown field.  However I cannot get the calculation to update in the 7th column once the 9th column amount is filled until I tab twice after the 9th column to the next row in the 2nd column.  Why does it not update after I tab upon completion of entering an amount in the 9th column?  I read everywhere that if a form is protected and the fields have Calculate on Exit checked that the fields will automatically update.

setting language back to English US

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT

So I'm working on a school project and my keyboard is set to English United States. Then once I got to this certain point in the assignment, every other word I typed came up incorrect. I clicked on spell check to see what was wrong, and my language had switched to French Canadian? I went through every possible settings i could to do with the Language and set my default back to English and when i tried to type a quotation mark it came up as the two arrows pointing left? Now whenever i type something, it comes up wrong, I have to go to spell check, go down to the bottom and switch it to English US, for EVERY WORD! and the language is staying on French Canadian, yet in settings its on English???

Scale to paper size - Property of the document

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:39 AM PDT

I have a document that goes almost to the edge of the paper.  When I try to print it says "The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page"

 

I have learned that I can bypass this message if on the print dialog box I select Scale to Paper size: Letter.

 

My question is, can I make this Scale to Paper size: Letter a property of the document, so that I do not have to choose it every time.  I would rather our users not have to do this every time they  print this document.

 

Thanks,

Run a macro at the end of a merge

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:14 AM PDT

I have  a group of form letters that need different "cleanup" macros to run after each form finishes merging. Each form needs a different cleanup macro. I have been "prompting" the user to run each macro with a {FILLIN "RUN THE SO-AND-SO MACRO WHEN THE MERGE FINISHES" } prompt.  This is clumsy to say the least.


How can I either:


1. Automatically call the appropriate macro at the end of each merge, by somehow assigning the macroname through maybe using some kind of a SET Word field {SET "macroname" "so-and-so"}, then some unknown-to-me command to automatically execute the macro at the end of the merge, or...


2. at least assign the macro name during the merge with some kind of a {SET "SubMacroname" "so-and-so"}. Then have ONE macro that the user can execute (the "CLEANUP" macro). The CLEANUP macro itself would understand the SubMacroname, and execute THAT macro.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

group images in word

Can't view macros from file when active in another file.

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:51 AM PDT

Man oh man I feel real stupid asking this question.

I work at many different workstations depending on my daily job functions and all setting are local to that PC, but I often use the same macros at these different places. I store these macros in a file and I use these macros on other files.

My problem is that sometimes I cannot launch these macros from the macro file because I cannot view them when I am in the file I am working on; I can't run the macro if I can't view them.

What setting am I looking for. This is a brain fart question. Please help me get back on track.

word 2013 FileSaveAs macro

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:37 AM PDT

I am setting up my Word 2013 so that I can get document fullpath to display in the titlebar.  I am currently utilizing three normal.dot macros to do this:

Sub AutoOpen()
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSave()
    ActiveDocument.Save
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

A quick test to verify everything would be as follows:
1.  Open NEW document
2.  Click the save button located in quick toolbar.
3.  Since document has never been saved, FileSaveAs macro fires off as expected.  It works!
4.  Select Save As from the File tab to update the filename, just alter the filename as you choose.  Full document path is not displayed in the titlebar as expected.  FileSaveAs macro is not being triggered here.
5.  Now click the save button in quick toolbar to see full document path displayed in toolbar.

Please advise.

regards,
William

Format change is applied to everything

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:19 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. I having this weird problem with Word. Whenever I try to create a document with a lot of text content and I have to change the font style or anything to a particular portion of the content, that change is getting applied across the whole document.

For example, I enter a heading of a document at the top and center align it. I didn't use any Heading Style option. I then increase the font size and make it bold. After that I enter a paragraph of content under the heading. I try to increase the font size of the paragraph by using the short-cut key "CTRL + SHIFT + >". The size increase is getting applied to every other content in the document universally. This is happening only when I use short-cut keys available in Fonts Dialog box.

I heavily use these short-cut keys. Please tell me how I can solve this problem.

Adding protection to a template but not to documents created from template

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Word 2010 and I am trying to add password protection to a template so that someone will not accidentally edit the template. I have done this by adding a password to modify however, when I create a file from the template and save as a read only version every time I open this it prompts me to enter the password. I have also tried to protect the document using the restrict editing function. Is there any way to protect the template from change but allow the user to change the document created from the template?

Word & Publisher won't print to rear feed

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 01:56 AM PDT

I have a new Epson WF-3540 printer.  I can't get Word 2010 or Publisher 2010 to print to the rear paper feed.  It just spits out the sheet I place in the rear feed and prints from the default cassette.

It prints fine from OneNote and Excel.  I have contacted Epson about the problem, and they say that since the rear feed does work properly with some programs, the problem is with the software, not with the printer.

I have double-checked the print settings when I try to print from Word or Publisher, and I know I am using the correct settings.

My Office software is up-to-date according to Microsoft Update.

I have seen one other complaint about this problem, in a review on Amazon.  That person was not able to figure it out, either.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I've exhausted all my resources and am hoping someone here can help me.  Thanks in advance.

Styles for TOC and the Navigation Pane

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:19 PM PDT

My endnotes take up over 130 pages. They are numbered separately for my 15 major book sections. I wanted to intersperse the section names before the endnotes for each section. Example: for the Part D endnotes I want a title such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes." (no quotes) This would make the 15 endnote sections visible in the navigation pane so I could jump right to any one. I assigned the proper style to each one, say Heading3, to also make them appear in the TOC. But after assigning the styles I do not see the headings such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes" in the TOC or in the Navigation pane. Is there a way to do this so that it works?

Word 2003 files changed to Word 2007 without my permission

Upon opening them, the Word 2007 configuration program launched. I don't have a purchase key, nor do I want one. I'm actually comfortable with Word 2003 (and personally like it better than the new versions). I did not download 2007. How did this happen and can I revert those files back to 2003? I also noticed that some other files are still in 2003, just 4 files in the My Documents converted themselves to 2007.

"error applying transforms" every time I try to open any office file from explorer in Windows 8.1

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT

If I'm using windows explorer, and try to open any Office file (doc, docx, xls, ppt, etc.) I keep getting a box pop up that says "windows installer". about a half second later, that box closes and an error dialog box opens op that always says.  

"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"

I thought of maybe uninstalling Office and reinstalling it, but I can't! It always says at the end of the uninstallation that "the configuration could not be completed". 

This only happened AFTER I updated to 8.1! I have a genuine windows 8.1 machine, running an i7 with 8 gb of RAM. I am running Office 2013.

Please help!
