Microsoft Word - Word 2010 TOC question

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 TOC question

Word 2010 TOC question

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 02:53 PM PDT

So I know this is going to be a super dumb question and I am missing something basic and obvious. Here it goes anyway. I inserted a TOC into a Word 2010 document. The TOC looks fine, and is accurate with page numbers. I saved the document. When I reopen the document, I cannot click on anything in the TOC< its like it is stuck in edit mode. When I mouse over the TOC, it highlights with a grey backshadow, but all I can do is choose to click on the edit tab at the top. None of the TOC entries are clickable. What the heck am I missing? Thanks!

Printing Issue on Merged Documents

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 02:05 PM PDT

When I completed the mail merge, only 1 page of labels prints at a time.  I have to go back to the data file and deselect the 1st 10 in order to get the next 10 to print.  I haven't encountered this in the past when I have done a mail merge so I am at a loss.

Replace requires "Match case" to be selected if one wants to Replace preserving the case of the word being replaced

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 01:51 PM PDT

If I select something in capitals (ex. ABC) and specify that it be replaced by Pqrs I instead get PQRS. To get Pqrs I had to select the search option to Match case which is weird as that option should apply to the keyword I'm searching for (ABC in my example) and not what I'm replacing it with.

Recoverable error signature becomes invalid after closing and reopening word 2010

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 12:27 PM PDT

Hello,

I have an issue with signing by smart card in Microsoft Word 2010 and Windows 7.
When I sign a word document, the signature panel displays the signature as 'Recoverable error'.
It means OK for me, because no trusted CA root certificate is installed yet.

But the problem arises after closing and reopening the signed document.
Now the signature panel displays the signature as 'Invalid' but neither the certificate is revoked nor the content signed has been altered.

I opened this document with Word 2010 on Windows XP, the signature is displayed as 'Recoverable Error'.

Can anyone explain what is the reason of this problem?

Clone Lines and Autoshapes

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I make a lot of custom diagrams in Word.

In word 2003 I used clone a lot (e.g. CTRL + D)

Example:
I make a line and place it on a grid line.
I clone the line by pressing CTRL + D (the cloned line appears slightly below and to the right of my original line)
I move the line to the grid line above my original line

in office 2003, if I press CTRL + D again, the new cloned line goes the to the next gridline above my 2nd line.
I can repeat this and get multiple evenly spaced lines
This also works for autoshapes.

In word 2013, it doesn't do it.
If I clone a line using CTRL + D, when I press CTRL + D after moving my 2nd line, it doesn't clone uniformly...

How can I get it to essentially continue a pattern?

Microsoft Word 2007 tabs along top (home insert format etc. won't stay open along top of a document)

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 11:41 AM PDT

Hello, Have been using 2007 Office for years.  Suddenly when I use Word, the categories (tabs? Not sure what they are called) along the top of a document such as Home/Insert/Format etc. show as that word only but will not show the menu/choices under each one.  For example, if I want to choose to use bold, I have to click on "Home", then "Bold".  That applies, but then the window closes again and I have to repeat the process to do underlining, etc.  Very irritating.

If you can't solve my problem, I'd like the correct term for Home/Insert/etc. so maybe I can find the answer somewhere.

Thanks for your help!

Problem when converting docx files to pdf via save as pdf

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 10:33 AM PDT

 I am using word 2007

I get a window with the error:

The file is in use by another application or user.

 The (save as) PDF has worked in the past but does not work now.

I have done all of the following.

 

This error is commonly encountered when a read lock is set on the file that you are attempting to open. Possible reasons for this:

  • Another user has the file open, either on the same computer that you are using, or on another computer.
  • Word crashed at some point in the past and left a read lock on the file.
  • Another application has an exclusive lock on the file, preventing Word from opening the file.
  • A custom application is running and has opened this file (possibly on another user's computer). It may have opened the file using an incorrect method.

To correct this problem, close all applications, restart Word and try to open this file again. If this does not work, examine the properties of the file to determine if someone else has it open. Occasionally a phantom process (dead or disassociated program) may have a lock on the file, and the only means of clearing it is to restart your computer.

Last lines of Word doc in Dropbox sometimes corrupted, symbols?

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 08:48 AM PDT

I have a fairly lengthy, password-protected Word document stored on Dropbox. I regularly open this file on both my Mac laptop and my desktop (Windows 7 Ultimate) and make edits.

Several times in the past few weeks, I have noticed that the last few lines of the document are often lost--they change to random symbols. The document also increases in length by a few pages, each new page mostly blank except for 1-3 lines of symbols at the top.

Has anyone seen this before? I am not sure if this is a problem with the document itself, Dropbox, or an issue with the password protection on the file. Help please!

Word 2013 and alignment of text within a cell

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 08:14 AM PDT

I can do this in Word 2010 very easily, and want to know how I can put a command onto my right mouse click please.
I use tables a lot, and often move the text within a table so that it sits in the centre of the box rather than the default left side. To do this, I select the cell(s) concerned, right click, and select cell alignment from the context menu, which then gives me the nine options, from which I select the one I require.
The cell alignment option is missing from my right click options on my Word 2013 computer.
Is there any way of putting it there so that I don't have to go to the ribbon every time I want to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Horizontal text boundary break created with a new paragraph.

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 07:32 AM PDT

This does not appear to be a section break. I have attached a photo with formatting displayed.

The text boundary break is removed if I merge the paragraphs but reappears if I press enter. Both paragraphs appear to have the same formatting style.

Any ideas why this is happening? It's only happening in this place.

Thanks!

How do I get the text in a text box to print the same size as displayed on the screen. It looks fine on the screen, but prints very tiny.

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 06:36 AM PDT

MS Word.  Created a text box and inserted text.  It looks fine on the screen, but when I print it, it is so small I can't hardly see it.  I can't find any formatting tools that will fix this.  What am I missing?  It works fine in a previous version of Office.  Now using Office 10.

Insert Symbol in Plain Text Content Control (Bug or Poor Design)

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 06:20 AM PDT

Recently, I discovered the following code results in a Run Time error 4605 "The method or property is not available because the selection partially covers a plain text content control" if the selection is in a plain text content control.

 

Sub Section_Symbol_and_NBSpace()
   Selection.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=167, Unicode:=True, Bias:=0
   Selection.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=160, Unicode:=True, Bias:=0
End Sub

 

This doesn't make any sense because a plain text content control is perfectly content to contain a symbol.  For example, I can place the cursor in a plain text content control and type CTRL+ALT+R and CTRL+ALT+C and enter the registered and copyright symbols or I can press ALT and 0167 on the numkey pad then CTRL+SHIFT+Spacebar to enter the section symbol and non-breaking space.

 

Furthermore, I can enter the section symbol and non-breaking space with the following code:

 

Sub Section_Symbol_and_NBSpace()
  On Error GoTo Err_Handler
  Selection.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=167, Unicode:=True, Bias:=0
  Selection.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=160, Unicode:=True, Bias:=0
  On Error GoTo 0
Err_Handler:
  If Err.Number = 4605 Then
    Selection.TypeText Text:="§" & Chr(160)
  End If
End Sub

 

I probably never paid any attention before, but the Insert Tab>Symbols>Insert Symbol gallery on the ribbon is also dimmed when the cursor is any a plain text content control.

 

Since a plain text content control is perfectly content to display a symbol then the runtime errror and state of the Insert Symbol gallery on the ribbon appears to be clearly a bug or poor design choice.

How do I change the color of a reviewer's comments?

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 06:03 AM PDT

I have a document that I wrote and sent out for review with a number of my comments in the file. One of the reviewers responded, but their comments are coming up in the same color as mine, and I need to be able to distinguish between them. The comments are still tagged with their user information so it's not the previously mentioned issue of the user having their personal data hidden. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I've figured out how to only show their comments, but some refer back to mine, so I really need to see both at once.

why does my table of contents not show headings

How to find and select the next empty cell within a column

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 09:29 PM PDT

I have a word document that I have sorting the table in word using VBA.

 

Once the list is sorted on the required column I then want to select the first non-empty cell within that column.

 

I have the following Macro that I found online with just a small change will find the first non-empty cell.

 

ie. What I want to do is that after I've done the sort on the column then it will select the first non-empty cell by just looking in the column that I'm in, so that say the first 10 rows/cells are empty, but the 11th has some text, then I want to select that cell.

 

Here is the Macro I have...

 

Sub CheckTableCells()

    Dim oCell As Cell
    Dim oRow As Row
    Dim MyRange As Range

    For Each oRow In Selection.Tables(1).Rows
        For Each oCell In oRow.Cells
            Set MyRange = oCell.Range
            MyRange.End = MyRange.End - 1
            If Len(MyRange.Text) <> 0 Then
                oCell.Select
                Exit Sub

            End If
        Next oCell
    Next oRow
End Sub

 

Thank you in advance.

Word in Office 2013 getting "confused"

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 08:57 PM PDT

I've been 'power using' the latest Word 2013 (Desktop version) running on a Windows 8.1 desktop for the last few weeks.


I find myself frequently (like twice an hour) getting it confused. If I wear my USER hat for a sec.. Confused in the sense that the Word window freezes, and turns mostly white with a few 'clipboard icons' remaining.  It sits there for maybe 5-10 seconds, then the whole screen goes black, then it returns, and Word is somewhat back to normal, only I am in a different place in the document.


Now that's what I call confused.  What triggers it? IDK. I am simply typing, and doing a ton of pasting in of text.  Some text formatting. That's it.


Let me put on my C# DEVELOPER hat for a sec...


If I had to guess, I'd say that this is a case of Await/Async without proper control limits, that has run away from the designers.  I am doing 'something' , probably with the mouse, that must create a ton of await cases, they are backing up and looking like a freeze.  Windows eventually says "hold it" after a while, and blacks out.. probably killing all the open threads.  The program retreats to some last saved state.


Well, there tis. Real feedback.

Kudos on all the hard work. It really shows. I love the new version and tools. Keep fixing it for a while longer for god's sake. Don't freeze it yet.

Word 2010 Extract Dropdown List

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 07:32 PM PDT

Hello,

 

I have a word document that has a few dropdown lists in it. There is one dropdown list that I am trying to extract the contents from it. The Word document is saved with a .docx extension. I am using Word 2010 on Windows 7.

 

I have come across several different VB Scripts, but nothing seems to work. I provided a link to a VB script that I found. In the code I did change the part where it says .doc to .docx. The file is generated, but when opening it up the file is always blank.

http://www.microsoft-word-answers.com/microsoft/Word-VBA/30435817/extract-text-from-form-dropdown-to-excel.aspx

 

Most of the scripts I am finding appear to be for Office versions 2003, which might be the issue. Other scripts also have part of the code in it saying "DropDown1" as in that is the properties name of the object, which I can never find the name of my dropdown that I am trying to extract from. The only thing I can think of is that these scripts are for if a user form was used, such as you bring up VB editor by pressin Alt + F11, then go to the Insert menu and click on UserForm. Here you can view the file name and properties of objects that are added, but I am not using this. I am strictly using the Word document itself.  If you add the Developer tab and click on the dropdown button, that is what I am using. I know I can go to properties of that dropdown by selecting it and clicking properties, but it doesn't appear that is the name of the object either since I tried to put what is listed in the "Title" of the properties in the place of "DropDown1" in the code, but it doesn't work.


Like I said, I tried several different scripts to get this to work and can't seem to get anything to work. I don't care if I use script or some other option, is there a way to extract the list of the dropdown and if so how?

 

Thanks for any help someone can provide,

Microsoft Word Home Premium, set default Font and Size

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 07:02 PM PDT

I have Microsoft Word 7 Home Premium. 
I want to set a default font and size. I have tried following all the instructions given in different blogs but been unsuccessful.     

Here is what I have done so far:

In HOME menu
Selected little arrow at the bottom right corner in the font box
In FONT under the heading of LATIN TEXT in Font
I selected my desired font and the desired size (JAMEEL NOORI NASTALEEQ 20 PTS)
Then under heading of COMPLEX SCRIPTS in Font
I selected +Body CS
Then press SET AS DEFAULT
Which takes me to a dialogue: .  . . . . . . . . .    "Do you want to set the default font to (Default) JAMEEL NOORI NASTALEEQ, 20 PT, BOLD,                                                                                   +BODY CS  (ARIAL), 20 PT, BOLD, EXPANDED BY 1 PT, KERN AT 20 PT FOR:" end of dialogue

Then I selected "ALL DOCUMENTS BASED ON THE NORMAL.DOTM TEMPLATE
And press OK.
It gives me what I am looking for, but when I restart the computer everything is gone.
Can someone be kind enough to help me, please.

Header row text default settings in a table

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 04:58 PM PDT

I'm trying to fix up a template someone else has started (eergh!) and I can't seem to get the table default settings right.

The little icon shows the custom default table with white text over a dark background for the header row but when I place a table it has black text in the header row. I've tried to 'modify table style' but it shows header row as white text. The text used in the header row has a style assigned 'table text heading' which has the right settings.

I guess I really want to design a new table style with the white heading, and make that the custom default style for all tables that are placed in this template and documents created with this template and delete the one that is there - is that the best way forward?

Insert chart fill default and placement?

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 04:53 PM PDT

What controls the background fill of inserted charts? I want it to be plain/white/no fill, but it is a beige that doesn't even appear in the theme or the colour palette I'm currently using! I can go to Chart tools>format>shape fill - and 'no fill' I can fix it one time but how does how can I change for this template and all files created from this file?

Also wherever my cursor is in the document the chart gets inserted at the top of my document, why is that?

German Proofing Tools Issues

Posted: 22 Oct 2013 04:15 PM PDT

I just bought the language pack for Word 2010 so it would check my grammar in German.  I downloaded the pack and believe I've activated it.  It will catch spelling errors but not grammar issues.  As a test I typed a sentence with the verb in the wrong place and conjugated incorrectly but it was not seen as an error.  How do I get Word to check my grammar.  I have already set German as the proofing lanuage it just seems to not notice in grammar or sentence structure errors at all.

You need to install FlipforMac -- it's a free download from Microsoft.

Note: Some WMV files have high-grade copy-protection applied. FlipforMac
cannot decode anything higher than WMV version 9 coding, so you will not be
able to play them.

If your friend sends you one of those, ask them to re-save it as a WMV

Can't register office

Posted: 17 Jan 2009 03:39 PM PST

Hi Michel:

Yes, I think you are right. He needs to "Activate" the software. Until he
does, it will neither update nor work correctly (and it will stop working
altogether after 30 days).

If you can't activate by Internet because something is blocking the
connection to Microsoft, you can activate by telephone: there is an option
to do that in the Activation application installed with the software.

Of course, you do need a valid product key that has not been stolen and used
by someone else :-) That is usually the cause of an activation failure --
someone else has gotten hold of the key and used it before you tried to!

In which case, talk to them on the phone: there is a procedure for mailing
in your sales receipt and the product box to get a new key issued. You need
to provide full details of the place you bought the software from.

Cheers

Password Protected docs

Posted: 14 Jan 2009 12:29 AM PST

Hello Mohaned Elkhalifa,

I just landed on this message in the middle of the conversation.
Unfortunately, PowerPoint 2008 (and all previous versions) on the Mac do
not have the ability to open password protected PowerPoint files.

OpenOffice version 3 is also not able to open password protected
PowerPoint files.

You can use the Help menu in PowerPoint to send a feature request to
Microsoft that PowerPoint on the Mac should have the ability to open
Password Protected documents. I am sure that if they knew that Mac users
were facing this kind of difficulty that the would do something about it.

Thanks.

Hi Tim -

Jim's point in response to the OP's query means that if the choice is made
to use Pages or Open Office rather than upgrading to Office 2008 the MS
Office fonts won't be included. Therefore, substitutions will be made in
those docs s/he receives from users of 2007/2008 where the MS Ofice supplied

In this instance, the User account was not new, just one that I had
rarely used except for testing.

The lesson I learned was that one of the first things to do when
troubleshooting--along other quick and easy basics such as restarting,
etc.--is to create a brand-new User account to test with. (A little like
unplugging and replugging an electrical cord, not just looking to see if
it's plugged in.)

What threw me here was that Word 2004 worked in that User account, so I
assumed that Word 2008 should work just as well. That is something I
will remember too as an unreliable indicator.

In any event, thank you again for your help, which I really appreciated.
You and the other MVPs deserve only the very highest praise for your
tireless efforts and knowledgeable contributions.

Updating from 2008 Home & Student Edition to 2008:Mac?

Installing is not supposed to touch your data in the Microsoft User Data
folder. However, on rare occassions things happen and data is corrupted. I
would move your Microsoft User Data folder to the desktop and let the
install create a new blank one. Then you can move your folders inside the
Microsoft User Data folder back.

If I remember correctly, using "Remove Office" does not remove the packages
and automator actions. (with the home version you didn't get automator
actions). Remove all packages for Office2008:

"/Library/Receipts"

Original release DVD came with 12.0.0 installed, but later a DVD with 12.1.0
was released. Most likely you got one of the newer DVDs.

Those with the original DVD will need to use the 12.1.0 SP1 combo updater
then the 12.1.5 combo updater. Users with the later release will only need
the 12.1.5 combo updater. You can find links to updaters here:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/mactopia_dl.html>

1) Log out/in with Shift key down before running updater. This quits all
startup items including the hidden ones. (use this method for any updater
that uses an installer)
2) Restart after updating

Cannot print 2-sided in MS-Word

Posted: 08 Dec 2008 08:50 PM PST

This is possible. When you go to print, press the command button + P for
print. That will bring up a dialogue box showing a preview of the document
that you are going to print. Where it says ³From² click on it and make it
say 1 of 1. Repeat the same procedure for page 2.

Trusted for delegation -> Catastrohpic Failure of MSCRM

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 02:58 AM PDT

Thank you for your reply

However unfortunately it is not just the aspx page which fails, it is the whole MSCRM application (hence the stress!)

Seems to have been caused by setting Trusted for delegation in AD

SFO Client without local database

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 02:35 AM PDT

Hi Peter,

what I want is that no data is stored in the MSDE database (for security
reasons, no sensitive data should get out of the office). It would be nice
if the Contact/Appointment Sync would work but if that feature depends on
the offline data, data security is more important.

How can I do this?

Greetings, Martin

Add existing contacts to account

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 07:50 PM PDT

CRM out of the box does not support many to many relationships between
contacts and accounts. There are ISV products that do support rich
relations, including Powertrak Core from www.axonom.com

Thunderbird E-mail & CRM

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 07:14 PM PDT

MS CRM only supported Outlook. Gicen it's high integration level with the
products, I would be surprises if you got it to work with another email client.

Newby CRM question

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 03:13 PM PDT

Bill,

NTBackup will fail in SBS2003 unless simple recovery is selected for all
databases. The Volume Shadow Service is unable to freeze the database for
backup. I assume you have run the backup wizard on the todo list to set up
automatic, full backups.

If you change the model database to simple recovery then all new databases,
including the CRM databases, will be created with simple recovery as well.

You may want to investigate 3rd party backup solutions that support the full
recovery model better than NTBackup.

Renaming user account

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 10:36 AM PDT

Benjamin,

I don't think it's a timiming issue. There is not "synch" with AD, so the
change you made in AD won't be propogated into CRM. The "official" way to do
what you wanted was to create a new user for the new employee and then reassign
the records in CRM & traansfer the license.

However, in this case, I think you can fix your problem by editing the
SystemUserBase table. There is a field that that contains the actual domain
acount name. If you change this to the "new" name, then I think you will be OK.

We recently let one of our sales guys go. He has been replaced so I renamed
the account as alot of people normally do. However in CRM Im not able to
add him because the old user still exists. Which makes sense because the
SID is the same. However, the account still shows domain\olduser instead of
domain\newuser. Im thinking this is just a synching/timing issue and will
be handled in a few minutes. Im rebooting to verify, but Im hoping that you
are able to rename an account in AD and that account will show up in CRM
without having to always delete, disable account, create new account, and
re-assign all the records

i cannot browse AD users when creating a new CRM user

Yes - and I have seen the same symptoms and resolution after when migrating
user accounts from Novell NDS to Windows 2003 AD

CRM Implem Schedule

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 01:09 AM PDT

Thanks guys for the replies. In my implementation plan, I have included a
one month live run of CRM after which we conduct a two day validation. This
basically involves checking/reviewing the system if there were any problems
encountered by the users. If no problems/issues were encountered, we
turnover the project to the client. Is the one month live run before
turnover to the client typical?

excellent Microsoft vendors who can help you. Otherwise, you can't really
trade licenses around, because MSCRM is tightly integrated into Microsoft's
active directory. In other words, license keys are valid only for the
customer to whom Microsoft publishes them.

modify fields

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 01:48 PM PDT

Ruthie,

Unfortunately, neither one of these are supported customizations. Both of these
could probably be done by modifying the underlying XSLT files for the form.
However, this is "unsupported" and it will require you to be very careful as any
future changes or "publishing" would wipe out your customizations.

Security settings for added tabs/buttons?

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 11:46 AM PDT

David,

Unfortunately, there isn't a supported way to do this. You could develop your
own mechanism for maintaining the security and to check for valid access in your
custom pages. not a pretty solution, but it can be done.
