Wildcard expression "33{1} slides" fails

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 03:00 PM PDT

According to the help, the wildcard expression "33{1} slides" (without quotes) should find the string "33 slides" (without quotes).  It doesn't.  I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me on how I am misinterpreting the help.  Thanks.

Help! word starter 2010 not saving document photos

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 02:40 PM PDT

OMG! I have a HUGE problem!

 

I am an author. I have written 14 nonfiction books. I am writing a new book using word starter 2010.

 

I spent the entire day searching for and downloading photos and then inserting them in my doc (the book). I then saved the document (currently 45 pages long, with lots of photos inserted). I saved the document correctly. When I opened my book document later to work on it there were NO photos. No photos inserted anywhere in the document. None! Gone! Missing!

 

HELP!

grey/gray prints as black in word (but not in publisher)

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 01:51 PM PDT

I'm stumped.  

In Word, grey things started printing as black.  This happened a while ago, but nothing was "a big deal," so I just gritted my teeth and ignored it. I just encountered it again and it irked me so I went looking for solve the problem.  

It happens in multiple documents and on multiple machines on my network.

I would suspect printer drivers or settings EXCEPT I've got Publisher files where the grey stuff prints as grey, not as black.

The entire network is all Windows 7 and all Office 2010.  I get Microsoft Updates for both.

As suggested in related posts, I found the "print as draft" setting in word and that isn't checked.
As suggested in related posts, I found the "print colors as black on noncolor printers" and that isn't checked.

My searching got me thinking about compatibility mode.  I have most of my documents still saved as DOC rather than DOCX.  So I tried creating a new DOCX and put a few lines of text in black, a few in light grey, and a few in dark grey.  It all printed black.  So, that didn't help.

If it were a bug introduced by a Microsoft Update, I would expect more people posting about a problem, especially since I waited to try to solve it. (That's why I often wait.)  But I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of word users use nothing but black.  Is anyone else having this particular problem?  

Like I said, I'm stumped.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

word 2013 is typing very slowly again

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 11:51 AM PDT

I updated from the 8.1 preview to the 8.1 new update. I had this problem several months ago when I updated to 8.0. There was a quick and easy fix that I do not remember. It essentially sped up the typing without removing the sexy "rubber-banding" effect. I would like to keep the typing effect. It is quite pleasant. Is it possible for someone to remind me of how to make this change?


This problem is extremely painful. The effect is the equivalent of the Harrison Bergeron [IQ Handicappers] -- Every time I have a thought and I try to type it into MS Word, the application slows down and destroys my thought process. This really is very painful. Please help.


Thank you.

Word 2013 stops working when proofing tools are used

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT

I've been using Office 365 (x86 en/us) on my system with Windows 8.0 Pro x64 without any problems for 6 months. Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro x64 en/us by doing a clean install using the official RTM and installed all available updates. I then installed Office 365 (x86 en/us) with the 1 update that was available and everything works fine.


However, when I try to use any of the proofing tools under Review/Proofing in Word I receive a message saying "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and it's closed. It seems that it has something to do with opening the corresponding windows because when I click Spelling and Grammar nothing happens when there're no spelling error but as soon as there's at least one, Word crashes. I tried the same thing in all other office application and every tool works as it supposed to. (Last time I used the tools in 8.0 was 2 days ago and there was no issue at all.)


I've checked the system (Asus P8Z77-V i7-3770K 8GB 256GB) and there're no errors and I also tried to reinstall Office but the problem persists. Everything looks good also in Office 2013 Language Preferences so the error must be confined to Word only. Any ideas what I could do or do I just wait for the next update fix the issue?

2010 MS Word envelope address options defaults

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

Hello again,

 

I am trying to keep the following as default in my 2010 Home & Student Word program.

I go to "Mailings, Envelopes in the ribbon, then options, then choose delivery address font, choose "All caps" then click on "set as default" then do the same for the return address font. click "OK" out and then print.

 

The problem is that the opt ion that I choose do NOT stay as default, I have to go back and repeat the above every time I want to print even though I stay in the Word program.  The same happens when I exit out of the program and go back in at some other time.

 

How do I keep these options to stay as default?

 

Thanks,

Jerry 

compare two versions of a document

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 10:52 AM PDT

I have published a 137,067 word document on CreateSpace.  After re-configuring this document to publish on Kindle (I basically got rid of a lot of formatting) the word count is 137,070, that is, three more words.

Is there a way to compare the two versions, to see what I have added to the Kindle version? 

I also made corrections to both documents, so there is a good chance that I accidentally added something to the second, or deleted something from the first.

Equations included in headings convert to bold when document is saved

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 10:29 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a mathematics document set up with numbered headings.  I customized the built-in headings, so for example, one heading is "Example".  Another is "Theorem".  The words Example and Theorem are set to show up in bold.  When I type in the text after these headings, save, and re-open, the equations show up in bold.  The rest of the text does not, just the equations.  This doesn't seem to happen all of the time, but I can't figure out the difference between different examples.  I have used the same headings for all the documents.  Any ideas of how to fix this problem?

Thank you!

Win 7 Updates Failed and Microsoft Office Starter Program Disappeared

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 09:53 AM PDT

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Office Starter 2010, when opened Word had an error message about licensing and it wouldn't open the program. After following the steps here, my Word program won't open at all and I can't open any documents from the computer either that are stored in Word. I still have these programs listed in the control panel but when you try to click on change it says Run time 2 configuration failure.

Now, I have two updates that won't install for the 32-bit system for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2598285) and Update for Microsoft Filter Pack (KB2810071), they download but won't install and give the error codes 780 and 80070643.

Why hasn't Microsoft put the office Starter 2010 on a disk so that if the program that comes preinstalled on the computer gets corrupted, it can be re-installed? I have an HP computer but the warranty has expired

I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks

HP 1020 Printer Problem

When I attempt to print to HP 1020, I receive "unable to connect).  Printer works online and with other word processors.

Using a macro in Word 2013 to identify the paper type (not tray or source) for manual feed.

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

Is there a way for a print macro in Word 2013 to send to the printer the type of paper that is to be inserted into the manual feed.  By hand, this is done through Print, Print Properties, Paper/Quality, Paper/Type, and then selecting the paper.  But I cannot find a way to ID the paper type in a macro, so the print can be done with just the single click of an icon.

Is an alternative perhaps to create a custom "paper size" that is just named the paper type, since the paper size can be changed by macro.

I would prefer doing this the proper way, so if anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for any help or thoughts.

Word 2013 Table Layout Change (Why)

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 06:56 AM PDT

Anyone have an idea why the misguided brainiacs at Microsoft have conspired to completely foul up the Word 2013 default table layout?

 

In all previous versions of Word that I can recall, when you insert a table in a document any text in the first column is left aligned with the document left margin.  The table left border (displayed or not) is left indented by the value of the table left padding). 

 

In a Word 2013 document (a real one, not one in compatibility mode), the table left border is now alinged with the document left margin. In other words it is FUBAR.

 

Why?  This obviously was a deliberate change, but I've found nothing from MS addressing a reason for the design change.  In almost 20 years using Word, I don't think I've ever wanted my table border to align with text on the left margin.  Now, due to this change, I have to fix every ill formatted table that I insert in document.

 

I've created a macro that works decently for new tables I insert and maybe it will help others fix this mess.  Just insert a new table, put you cursor in the table an run this code:

Sub FixFUBARWord2013TableProperties()
Dim oTbl As Word.Table
Dim dblWidth As Double
Set oTbl = Selection.Tables(1)
dblWidth = oTbl.PreferredWidth
If dblWidth = 0 Then
  dblWidth = ActiveDocument.PageSetup.PageWidth - (ActiveDocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin + ActiveDocument.PageSetup.RightMargin)
End If
oTbl.PreferredWidth = dblWidth + oTbl.RightPadding + oTbl.LeftPadding
oTbl.Rows.LeftIndent = -oTbl.LeftPadding
End Sub

 

  

How do I turn on revision control by default in all new documents?

Page setup: Center vertical strange behavior when adding a text box

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 05:21 AM PDT

Hello community

 

(Word 2010, Windows 7, automatic MS updates made)

 

I'm used to the old MS newgroups of the 90's ;-) - hope I find the same biotop here.

 

I thought to know MS Word very well, but now I'm stuck with centering vertically on a first page. The page contains already two content controls, page setup - centering vertically - works just as it should. There's a section break to continue on the next page. Now as soon as I add a text box the centering behaves just erratically. Depends where I place the text box, the two content controls can stay in place, but they can also move up. This is the case when I place the text box at the end of the page (where I want to have it).

 

I have tried all the wrapping options of the text box before asking the question here. Of course there could be workarounds like using a table. But I'd like to do it right.

 

Any ideas?

Word 2007 Printing Issue

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 03:38 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I am currently experiencing a problem with Word were every so often it will print a document using the font Courier when the font on the screen is in a different font like Tahoma. I have noticed that it doesn't matter which printer it is printed to it all the same I've tried printing to PDf to the two different printers they both come out in different font. I have also noticed it effects windows 7 and Xp, also Word 2007 and 2003

 

Has anyone else has this problem or knows any solutions for it?

 

Thank you

 

Kind regards

Scripting Word: can one suppress the comment warning on Save()?

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 11:42 PM PDT

I have a couple of documents that are interlinked (i.e. cross-referencing each other).

To get all of them into a consistent state I need to open each of them, select the entire content, execute an "Update" and then save them. And I need to do that twice.

Since this is a rather tedious exercise I have written me a powershell script to do that (being able to handle applications as COM objects is really cool!)

That works all very nice except, that some documents contain comments and - when saving - Word each time the warns and asks:

"The document being saved contains comments. Continue with save?"

 

Thus, while the script executes, I have to repeatedly click OK onto the above alerts to keep it going. I haven't yet found an option or method to silence this. Is there a way to suppress these warnings on Save()?

 

Regards,

Michael

 

shortcut keys dont work

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 11:41 PM PDT

The problem started since the 8.1 update.


The shortcut keys such as CTRL + A, CRTL + C and CTRL + V do not work on Microsoft Word anymore. I have confirmed that the issue does not happen with any other application. I am able to perform these basic short cut functions on text documents, stickies, browser and pretty much every where else. The same short cuts work just fine on PowerPoint and Excel. So, Office applications are also working fine, except for Word 2013.


If I should restart the computer, it seems to work okay. Then, it suddenly stops working. I am using Windows 8.1. Office 2013 through the Office subscription. Office is locally installed on my PC.


Update : I checked the shortcuts on Word. For some reason the basic functions I use the most have changed to the following keys.


Select All - CTRL + CLEAR (NUM 5)

Copy - CTRL + INSERT

Paste - SHIFT + INSERT.


I have never changed these. After some searching on the official help sites, I found the option to reset all short cuts. Still nothing. I even changed the shortcuts manually to the usual commands but that won't take :(

How can I stop Word 2013 from automatically resizing my tables?

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 10:39 PM PDT

I have just upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013 (15.0.4535.1507) MSO (15.0.4535.1507) 32-bit, Part of Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus, from Office 2007, and I'm having extreme difficulty in getting Word 2013 tables to behave as I'm used to.

 

Here's what I'm doing:

1. [Insert] tab > Table > Select 3x3 Table (using the graphical display)

2. Select the top row of the table and choose  'No Border' from the Paragraph section under the HOME tab

 - So now I have a 3x3 Table with Row 1 as a dotted gridline border, and Rows 2 & 3 with visible, black, 0.5 pt borders

3. Right-click on the table and select Table Properties from the menu

4. Check Preferred width and set it to 18 cm

 

Okay... all good so far.

Now I want to the first column to be 2 cm, the second column to be 2 cm, and the third column to be 14 cm.

 

5. Left-click and drag the border to the right of the first column, and drag it to the 'snap-zone' of the 2 cm mark on the ruler.

 

At this point, I want to make sure that the column is indeed now exactly 2cm, as from years of working with Word 2007, sometimes it snaps to 1.75 cm, or 2.25 cm... so it's just a matter of dragging it and snapping it over one click either left or right.

 

I check the table properties, however, and the while the table is still set to 18cm, it now has an indent from left of 0.01 cm, and a column width of 2.24 cm. I find this very confusing, as Word 2007 would only let you snap to increments of 0.25cm, so how could it be snapping to 2.24 cm, instead of either 2.25 cm or 2 cm.

 

So now I drag the column border one click left to the next 'snap zone' (which, theoretically' should be the 2 cm mark), but when I go back into the table properties, I see that it now has an Indent from left of 0.02 cm, and the column width is 1.98 cm.

 

I have tried using the table properties to manually input a zero (0) as the Indent from left, and then manually input a 2 for the Preferred width, but when I [OK] out of the properties, and then go back into it again, the numbers have reverted back to 0.02 cm and 1.98 cm, respectively.

 

From this point onward, it seems that every time I click and drag one of the column borders (whether it's left or right), Word adds another 0.01 cm to the Indent from left, and takes another 0.01 cm away from one of the column widths. If you look carefully, you can even see the entire set of columns (and the table) shifting slightly to the right after I let go of the mouse.

 

I have already tried:

 - having the [Alt] key pressed as I drag the column border, but as soon as I release the mouse button, the slight shift to the right occurs

 - unchecking the Automatically resize to fit contents option

 - zeroing the Default cell margins

 - turning of AutoCorrect

 - unchecking Update document content while dragging

 - Use subpixel positioning to smooth fonts on screen

... but nothing works.

 

As a personal preference, I like all of my tables, columns, and rows to be exactly divisible by 0.25 cm, as it's the only way I can be sure that on every document that I create, the tables will appear uniform.

 

Any advice on my automatically adjusting tables?

Microsoft Forms error: "Could not load object because it is not available on this machine"

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 07:38 PM PDT

Whenever I launch Word 2010 (without opening a file), or import a DOC file to any application that accesses Word 2010 (such as a computer-assisted translation tool), I get a Microsoft Forms error message that says, "Could not load object because it is not available on this machine."

This message may come up as many as three times.

Note that I'm not a programmer, so I won't be capable of fixing this by going into any code.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Office 2013 random Application Hang errors on win 7 64bit

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 07:19 PM PDT

Hi, 

I am having random problems with Office 2013 that occur mostly in Excel and Word. My office crashes randomly and the event viewer says that it is an application hang. I does not matter what I do with office at that time and what kind of document/worksheet I use. Even a clean document that I am not using could crash randomly. This seriously bothers me as there seems to be no way to work with this problem, the only thing I can do is to restart my system and hope the problem does not exist when I start office again. 

I run Office 2013 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. I am using an Asus laptop with an i7 3rd generation, 6GB Ram and 1 TB HDD. In event viewer I have the following error log:

All my other errors logs are similar to the ones above. I have posted a problem with windows 7 explorer I had before on the microsoft community and I must say that I am disappointed with the performance issues I somehow always seem to have with Microsoft products. I am using a high-end laptop and I have tested hardware on malfunctions. To my surprise the windows action center is completely useless, for this problem with office 2013, as well as other random crashes and freezes I experienced in other microsoft programs. 

Any advice is much appreciated.

Joep

Office 365 University - I can't use Word all of a sudden for some unknown reason. What is going on?

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 05:27 PM PDT

In early August, 2013, I purchased Office 365 University for my son to use while away in college.  Yesterday, I was trying to create a Word document and Word would not work. I got a message saying there was a problem and I clicked the button for it to be fixed.  After several hours, it still had not been repaired. I tried to use it again a few minutes ago and I got the same error message. What is going on?

 

Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Both Word and Excel crash when I to try to save file using "save as " but does not crash using "save"

Posted: 20 Oct 2013 04:43 PM PDT

I just installed Office Professional Plus 2010.  I'm running Vista 32 bit on a dell laptop Vostro 1500. When I save a word document using "save as" word crashed. When I open word again, the file I tried to save is in my recent documents. If I edit the document and just save using "save" word does not crash. If I try to change the name and save using "save as" it will crash again.  The same thing happens with excel. I have not tried the other applications in office.  I uninstalled  and re-installed but had same problem. I tried to open in safe model , but it won't open. I checked this online and it seems this version of office does not work in safe mode.  Any suggestions ?

Todd,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried your suggestion already -- it has no effect on the font
size within this activation window. It does change the rest of the
computer, but not this particular activation window.

Uninstall Utility?

Posted: 17 Aug 2005 07:50 AM PDT

Hi,

I think you should first clearly define the errors you are seeing, and
then decide the best solution. This will save time overall.

I do know the earlier version utility you are talking about, but I don't
think it's the correct solution to this, even if it existed.

2003 Office Student Trial says pc date is incorrect.

Posted: 15 Aug 2005 06:16 PM PDT

Thanks but I did that. The current date,Time Zone and Time are correct. I
think Office Trial software knows that I reset the date but I didn't reset it
to cheat the duration of the trial. It says my pc date/time are incorrect and
says that I need to correct them but they are correct. It won't let me use
the trial software other than in restricted mode (read only).

Any installation or upgrade of Office NEVER touches your data files created
with a different version (however, having said that, it is always wise to
make a backup of your files before installing any software).

Admin Installs - Office 2003 Pro - Microsoft Update

Posted: 15 Aug 2005 10:02 AM PDT

Hi Sandy,
 

I read all the docs in some detail, and the stuff in the deployment
guide about LIS comes across as propaganda to me. As I see it, the AIP
is the professional route, and recache and reinstall is very quick and
easy - I have no interest in having hundreds of unpatched LIS files and
applying full file client updates - life if too short!

The whole Windows Update, Microsoft Update, WU, WGA, AU, WSUS, SUS, MBSA
1.1, MBSA 2.0, SMS, Enterprise Scanning Tool, saga is a complete mess
anyway, and what happened to the trumpet blowing rhetoric about
"unification", LOL).

Re-installing Office XP on new hard drive

That's irrelevant. As Milly stated if you no longer have the qualifying
media, your upgrade licence is null and void (as you'd have known had you
STFW). Once you use an application to qualify, the two applications become
one and the licences cannot be separated. If you no longer have the QP, then
you no longer have a licence to use the upgrade. You're SOL.

You can, however, use your XP licence as a OP for Office 2003 (providing
you're running a qualifying OS - Windows 2000 SP3+, XP or 2003).

Lost MS Front Page when Updated to MS Office 2003 from 2000

Posted: 14 Aug 2005 04:22 PM PDT

Your best bet is to install from the oldest to the newest. Uninstall all
versions of Office. Then install only Front Page from the Office 2000 CD.
Run all updates you find for Office 2000. Reboot and then install your
current Office version and again, run all current updates and reboot.
Ensure you have them all by again visiting Office Update when you *think*
you are done. Often, one or two will still show up.

Then run Windows Update.

product key screen freezes

Posted: 13 Aug 2005 02:24 AM PDT

Laptop is 2 years old, and is the Fujitsu P1120, whose size is the reason for
no drive. Also, for my purposes, the only thing I'd ever do with it is
install programs. These days, I actually think the drives are pointless,
given you can get sticks which not only hold data in a smaller space, but
don't break and scratch like CDs. So I'll counter your point of getting an
external. I'd argue unless you're watching movies on planes and don't have a
desktop off of which to install programs via network, then today's laptop CD
drive is the more dinosaur way to go than my setup.

As for the product key, it started working for some reason after a couple of
tries.

Filtering a Plan to display a date range

Posted: 16 Dec 2004 02:07 AM PST

Dave,

Thanks for taking a look.
I meant printing, not creating a report. I can specify to print, say,
01/01/05 to 31/01/05 and that's what I get. If I want to see just the
activities for a particular person, I filter the plan to them, but if I want
to (at this point I'm getting a horrible feeling that I'm answering my own
question...) do a date filter, I get all the summary rows, too, which might
start before 01/01/05, or end after 31/01/05.

I suppose the answer might be to filter and not show summary rows, but this
gives me a problem, as I need to know the name of the project that each
filtered task row applies to, without adding that name into the task name
field each time!

All I want is for my screen to look like my hardcopy!

Hmm, I'll sleep on it.

Thanks again.

I have to wonder why you're bothering with such micro-management? A 9
minute task???? Not 8 and not 10??? I'm not saying it can't occur but it
seems very weird, no offense intended. I like to keep the 8/80 rule in
mind - if your tasks are over 80 hours you're not breaking them down far
enough and if they're under 8 hours you're micro-managing to excess. If I
were an employee being told I'm supposed to wax widget alpha between 9:17
and 9:32, I'd probably tell you to take this job and shove it <grin>.
Seriously, as a PM it's very very unusual to have to get more precise than
"Fred, I need you to wax 13 widgets on Tuesday." Fred knows his job, trust
him do it with the dignity of letting him organize his own workday.

Hi Rebecca,
 

2GB left is really not enough,
I suspect that your Mac is also short on available RAM. When you open
Office, it needs more RAM than what's available and the System has to
create swap files for virtual memory.
That's what's eating up your available space.
That's also why Apple recommends leaving squite some space unused on the
boot drive.

The Spotlight mdimporter for Office are not installed with Office

I remember that the current ones have a problem, but at this point,
Apple still hasn't released an update.

On top of that, you could have additional Spotlight issues leading to
this.
To workaround a similar issue, I ended up disabling Spotlight indexing

Cannot Embed Object into Word Document

I'm not sure, but I don't believe that any of those file types are
embeddable - They're essentially "proprietary". I know that you can use
Omnigraffle's File> Export command to generate embeddable file type (such as
PNG) & .zip is a definite No. I would think that LDIFs could be
saved/exported as Text or Excel files.

Other than those options your current method is certainly valid.

The only remedy is to re-install Office from your CD and update. FWIW, this
is not a MS specific problem. It can happen with any update process.

Tip: I suggest stuffing the Office folder prior to updating in case of
problems. Easy to revert to previous install.
