help with open office

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 02:52 PM PDT

Y computer worked well for years then all of a sudden the computer will not let me open the documents in open office.  Computer gives 3 choices-already purchased, go online to purchase or try for free for 1 month . I guess I purchased it with the computer.  It wants the product code number.  I did find the product code on the bottom of my computer but can only read 20 of the required 25 digits.  Why did they put this on a paper sticker on the bottom of my computer, I don't know.  Is this info stored in my computer somewhere so I can access all my stuff again?  How can I get my product code?

Change number style increments?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 01:40 PM PDT

I am creating a multilevel list for a document that will be part of a city code.   Their numbering conventions advance every section by increments of 10 - for example - 10.01.010, 10.01.020, 10.01.030, ...... etc.   In the "Modify Multilevel list" box, under "Number style for this level, there is an option to enter a number that advances by 1 - i.e., 001, 002, 003, etc.   However, there isn't an option to advance by 10 or any other number, or to customize the numbering.    Is there a way to create a customized numbering scheme that I can port into the list?  Thanks in advance!

Working with Pictures inside a Word document

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:58 AM PDT

I inspect houses. After each inspection I must create a written report with pictures of various problems I find in the house I inspected. I will insert the same number and type of photos into every report, in the exact same place in each report. In other words, there is a section of text followed by a batch a photos, followed by more text, more photos etc. 

I created a template word document with a lot of the standard text I need in there, although this text content will change with every report. I know it is difficult to move pictures inside a word doc, so I created text boxes in the proper places inside the document, and inserted photos inside the text boxes. There is usually 3-6 photos side by side in the photo areas of the report. With each new document, I can just replace the previous photo in that box with the new photo, i don't have to resize and shape and place the photos every time, etc.  

The template document looks perfect. But, when i edit the text portion of the doc, the pictures start moving all over the document and get completely out of a normal alignment. I believe I need to find a way to group these photos so they always stay grouped together in proper alignment, or maybe I can change the text wrapping so the photos stay aligned. 

I'm not experienced with this stuff. Any help or fresh ideas would be extremely much appreciated. And if it is easier to talk about it then to write it all out let me know, i will give you my phone #.

All of a sudden one of my word files won't open I get a conversion dialog

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:51 AM PDT

All of a sudden one of my word files won't open. When I try to open it I get that damnable window which presumably does some kind of a file conversion after you select Text Encoding as either being Windows, MS-Dos, or "Other" and then it lists a litany of world codes none of which converts the gibberish which shows up when I  open the file. I hope you follow this because I can't open the file in english which happens to be what I used to create the file.

I'm using MS Office Home and Student 2010 which includes MS Word 2010. The file in question which is attached was originally created with the 2010 version.

MicroSoft Office 2010

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:42 AM PDT

We are having a problem in our office and no one can figure our why.

 

My boss received a redlined word document from someone who had word 2007.  He has word 2010 as do I.  The redline markings came out fine on his computer. However when he sent the same document to me the changes where in the document but not as a redline.  We had a similar problem with PowerPoint. Presentations he sent me were not the same as he saw them.  We can't figure out why this is happening.  Can you help.  We are desparate.

Relocking a Form

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

I have a piece of code that unlocks a form, performs spelling verifier, and then relocks the form when done.  However, if the "cancel" button is selected on the spelling verifier, the code is killed and the form does not relock.  Is there a way to either not allow the cancel button to be selected while running to code or to relock the form if the cancel button is selected?

Windows 8 Word - password recovery?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT

I have forgotten the password to an important Word doc in Windows 8.

Is there any way I can undo or recover it as an "administrator" on my PC?

 

I have seen the following website is selling password recovery software, but I cannot tell if it's safe...please help.

How do I get rid of the annoying angle marks on word 2003?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:46 AM PDT

Okay, I know a lot about computers and this problem has me both stumped and frustrated beyond belief. So I'm using word 03 and there are these annoying crop mark/angle thingies on all four corners of the page as shown in the picture. My text boundaries check mark is unchecked and I do not have any asian languages enabled. English U.S. is the only one. I don't even think these are the same crop marks described in other forums. Whatever they are, I just want them gone because they are driving me bonkers and they distract me from my work.

files passworded in 2003 can't have the password removed in 2010

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:15 AM PDT

I have a 2003 file that is passworded. When I open it in 2010, it asks for the password and opens the file with the password. But when I try to remove it, that is not an option. I have converted the file to a 2010 document and the same issue occurs.

 

The only way I know to get around it is to get into the file, copy the contents, paste into a blank and resave the file.

 

Does anyone know what is going on with this or have another answer?

Indent changes automatically when bullet number 10 is reached.

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 10:10 AM PDT


Hi there.

Have a look at the picture below...


When I use bullets/numbering, the space between the numbering and the actual paragraph changes. This happens from number 10, as can be seen in the picture above.

I don't think this is the intended action. Why is this happening and is there a way to prevent this?

As a KIND OF workaround, I can change the indent very slightly as seen in the before/after depictions.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


My "sort of" workaround is not really one as the indents are not the standard I use at my workplace. Any insight appreciated!

How do I hide Hidden Text and still show/hide all the other formatting marks?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 09:57 AM PDT

In Word 2003, you could select a check box in the Display Options to keep the Hidden Text hidden, so that when you clicked the Show/Hide formatting marks button, the Hidden Text never appeared. To get Hidden Text to appear, you had to first clear the Hidden Text check box in the Display Options.  Now, in Word 2007, it appears that all the formatting marks (including Hidden Text) appear when you toggle between Show/Hide using the formatting marks button. How do I keep the Hidden Text hidden when I click the Show/Hide formatting marks button?

Hello

I am trying to copy macros between Word documents but am unable to see individual macros in the organizer, what I can see is just NewMacros container.

Encoding?

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 08:51 AM PDT

I am new to coding, and I would like to find out whether the attached file is either corrupt or encoded. I am helping my neighbour with a problem. It started when he tried to resolve the problem himself! I dont really know what he did, but Windows had to be reset to the laptop factory defaults. Before though, I backed up all his stuff with Ubuntu, but when I checked the Documents backup, some were either corrupt or encoded. (I apologise if I am wasting time.) Could anyone shed any light on this?

Invert selection shortcut for Word 2007

References on footnotes

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 03:34 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm having some issues on the way Word 2010 orders the bibliographic references on the footnotes.

So, I have references through all the document itself and also in the footnotes (e.g. footnote 1. Specification limits can be reviewed in [29])

Word updates the reference list and serializes the items by the order they actually appear into the document, however it just ignores the references in the footnotes.

For instance, even if the next reference (which appears on a footnote) is supposed to be number 10, Word assigns the last possible reference number after checking all the document. So, rather than insert [10], it inserts like [29] or so..

I already tried to CTRL+F9 an update all the indexes but it didn't do much..

Thanks for your attention,
DSDV

Building a report pack in Word 2013 from other document types

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 03:19 AM PDT

I am trying to build a single workbook or pack for our executive team based on information sourced from a variety of document types - e.g. Excel, Powerpoint and in some cases Visio.

Currently I would send a big Excel workbook with large data sets hidden in some worksheets and from where graphs and statistics are displayed - to users to get their comments into the various worksheets in a comments cell and then only once I get them back to then save it into PDF for submission to our Executives.

Then over and above the Excel report we'll get other data or reports in Word or Powerpoint and sometimes even Vision that would somehow need to added into the final report - currently it is separate and you quickly loose context once trying to go through the packs.

Is there an EASY way of combining these into a single Word file automatically? Copying and pasting images into Word does work but it's not sustainable.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
PIeter

Otherwise, I'd suggest using abc-formatted input and abc2abc (it's a

Somewhat laborious, but at least you'd get the chords done.

Hi Walter,

Ah, that's the problem. The process I described works only for files
that are initially saved as odt. The word format (.doc) is a binary
format. You can not "trick" this format with this workaround.

I'm sorry, but I don't think, that there is a way to save your work. I
guess, you don't have a backup of your file, so that you don't have to
redo all the work?

A fine comment!

Again, apologies for any annoyance caused by my off-key comments earlier.

Despite appearances, I am not some raving anti-American, nor am I a 'BBC English' pedant.
I am someone, however, who believes that there is value in accurately conveying
instructions. To that end, localisations (localizations?) for any language with a lot of
diversity (whether American, French, Spanish or whatever), is needed.

It's a pain for developers, but it leads to a more accessible end-product. Whether it's done
by 'translating' American to British (plus NZ, Canadian, etc), or using short, simple
sentences that (hopefully) are clear to all concerned, it up to those writing the material in
question.

Have a nice day, y'all ;-)

OED uses "Formulae" as plural for a mathematical formula and "Formulas" for non-

It's a complex issue. I do think the American rule for plurals (put an S on the end, forget all
this Latin nonsense) is far more consistent.

However, my issue is not really spelling - it's grammar, idioms, etc. Sentences that the
make perfect sence to my American friends do not make sense to me and I refuse to try to
use their way of expressing myself unless I have to - simply because I am likely to get it
wrong. I've had too many conversations with either me or them saying, "What I take from
that is....", and one of us having mis-understood something seemingly simple.

And that is why I dislike the trend in software to lump all derivitives of the language spoken
in England together or to assume that people in the UK (or Canada, NZ, SA, etc) are
wannabe Americans.

So, having had a week of translating between American and British at work, and seeing a
download link for "OOo 3.3.0 English (UK)" lead to a 404, I was understandably
disappointed. Being told "Would American do for you instead" was annoying. However,
apologies if I sounded off-key in earlier posts.

If you really do want to create text from a single row of a table, you can select the row, then cut
or copy it, then paste somewhere outside the table. That will give you a one-row table which you can
then Convert to Text.

Office365 Start Screen Slow (Not Responding) -- Loading templates?

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:16 PM PDT

Hi,

Whenever I open word/excel/powerpoint/etc, it takes approximately 30seconds+ to load (on a SSD).  The application will not respond during this period, but I can see spinning loading indicators on the templates screen.

I can bypass this by setting Office to skip load screen and start a new blank document instead, however the loading pause will occur the first time I press File.

Office never used to do this, but has started doing it recently.  Possibly ever since upgrading to Windows 8.1, but that may be coincidence.  I have tried re-installing as well as doing an online repair.

Is anyone else having this issue?  Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks!

Spacing of a Text Box, { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I am working with a Word Merge document with 566 merge fields.  I am trying to get the layout so that this document looks nice in Print Layout View for printing as well as Web Layout View for sending an email.

I have a particular text box that is positioned well in the Print Layout View but not in the Web Layout View.

In the Print Layout View, it is at the top of the page, and it is on it's own line with the body of the document starting immediately after the text box.  This is how I like it.  In the Web Layout View, the text box and the body of the paragraph share lines.

The only way I have gotten the spacing (mostly) corrected in both views is to position the text box "In Line with Text," but this causes the text box to appear as { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT } when I toggle merge fields using Alt+F9.  I have merge fields in the text box that I can no longer see the Field Codes when I toggle the codes because the entire text box is summarized as { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.

I like the alignment, but I don't like (and don't really understand) the { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.  I have two other text boxes that I am also having issues with alignment and getting stuck with { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }.

There there ways to set the alignment without { SHAPE \ * MERGEFORMAT }?

I have several macro embeded Word templates that I Password Protect  These same templates contain Content Controls.  I need the users to be able to embed object files such as .pdf, .xlsx, .docs, .jpg, etc. into a Content Control field if possible.  I have been unuccessful at creating a template that permits such.  I cannot embed "hot" links either, only the "raw" text..

Deleting Entire Pages With Content In MS Office Word 2010

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 12:18 PM PDT

How do I delete entire pages filled with detritus in a Word 2010 document?  Let's say I have a 50-page document and I want to delete the last 13 pages which are filled with junk.  Or, let's say I want to delete just pages 14 and 39 and have the document sew itself back together closing the holes where the pages were removed?

 

How do I do that?

Copying a tab character in a Word document to paste into a application form to populate and navigate form fields.

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 11:56 AM PDT

I know this question may be nonsensical, but here it is.

I want to copy a tab with a string before and after the tab from a Word Document so that it will enter a string into a form field then tab to the next field and enter another string. The form is another application

 Is this even possible ? I know there could be other solutions, but I am interested to know if there is a way to do what i am describing using Word.

My margin is messed up.  The cursor is showing at the very top.  I tried changing it back to "Normal" but it will not do so.

What am I doing wrong?  How do I get it back to "Normal?"

In addition, I installed "RiverPoint" template and it messed that up too.  Do I need to reinstall?

Your support is greatly appreciated.

"Microsoft Word has stopped working" error message

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 09:28 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Office 2010. Lately it has been randomly shutting itself down while I'm in the middle of working on a document. The following error message flashes on the screen "Microsoft Word has stopped working" then the program shuts down. I lose all my work. It does not save a recovery file. This happens about twice a month. At other times, it does save a recovery file. This particular issue appears to be random (and rather sinister I might add). Suggestions on how to fix this?  Kathie

VB macros hanging on not really open files

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 09:22 AM PDT

I do quite a bit of macro programming that includes copying and moving folders with documents in them.  Every once in a while (not every time but often enough to disrupt my work) a macro will crash with an error message stating that a certain procedure could not be accomplished because a document is open.  In fact, there is no document open in any application; however I notice when looking in the specified folder with Windows Explorer that there is a hidden *.tmp file that, I believe, Word considers to be open (even though it is not actually open).  I have experienced this on and off for years with VB programming in Word macros, and usually I can set things up so that it does not happen, but my question is, is there a procedure to programmatically clear *.tmp files from memory when there are no actual documents open, or is there a procedure to test to see if there is a *.tmp file being processed by Word?  Usually if I close Word, reopen it, and run the macro again, it works without a hitch, so I'm pretty sure it is related to Word hanging onto that *.tmp file even after it is closed.

Office Docs Not Showing Up In Date Modified Searches

I am not sure why this is happening but I am sure it is very frustrating as the search capability is unreliable.

Set default options when converting word into pdf

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT

Hello,
I am using windows 7, and Office 2013.
Is there any way that we can default options on creating pdf's from word documents?
We often use images in word docs, then create pdf, and when you view the final pdf, it comes up with a little description when you hover over the image, or even the file path of the original image. I have found a way of removing this: when you create the pdf from word, click options, then untick document structure tags  for accessability. Also unticking the document properties seems to help. Is there any way that I can set these as default unticked, because it would save me a lot of time!
Thanks.

eps files

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 08:13 AM PDT

I often have to edit Word documents for publication that may contain eps files as illustrations. This seems to have become a problem since I moved to Windows 8 - I can no longer view these files in any document, or with any app. I don't know why this is no longer supported - or is there an extra app I need to download to view the files?
Can anyone help me?

Problem with page numbering when inserting a cover page

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 07:10 AM PDT

I have a template that contains the following in the footer to give me page x of y page numbering:

{PAGE \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT} of {NUMPAGES \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT}

This works fine until I insert a cover page (using the Insert->Cover Page option).  In my case I want the cover page to page 1 (but the cover page shouldn't show the numbering) and the total number of pages should be the total number of pages in the document including the cover page.

To illustrate the problem better - I can create a document based on my template that contains (say) 5 pages - at this point the page numbering is correct so I get 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc.  If I then insert a cover page, the numbering stays the same so the total number of pages still shows as 5 instead of 6 and page 1 still shows as 1 instead of 2 etc.

If I right click on the field before I insert the cover page, Format Page Numbers shows it is set as 'continue from previous section'.  However, once I've inserted the cover page, doing the same thing shows Format Page Numbers set as 'start at 1'.

I can obviously manually get around the problem by changing the Format Page Numbers option to 'start at 2', however my users are unlikely to remember to do this.  Is there any way I can set the page numbering so that it automatically updates the page numbering if a cover page is inserted?

TIA

My Equation Change Format after Saving

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT

I don't know what happen with word in this 2013. After my equations turns into unknown symbols last June (still using Word 2010), I uninstall Office 2010 and installs the new Office 2013. Then now, my equations just going insane again. It changes formatting after each savings! It messes up my vectors, del, nablas, and everything, where I deliberately applied bold and italic and upright fonts. After saving and reopening, those all changes into bold-italic fonts. How can I fix those nasty thing?

Thanks Community for answering.

Font problem in Word 2013

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 04:20 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I've got a font named - geo_times (please download this font from here: http://fonts.ge/ka/download/font/5/Geo-Times). When I was typing text with this font in MS WORD 2003/2007/2010 it worked great, but in MS WORD 2013 I can't type some characters with this font because MS Word 2013 is replacing them (symbols) with other ones. 
I even tried INSERT/SYMBOL menu, but without success. The problem occurs when I'm trying to type ALT+0192 combination. Actually I have problems with the symbols in the range 0192-0228.
Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

Word 2010 doesn't track moves

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:30 AM PDT

I checked support and forums:  I am not using compatibility mode, and I tried to drag & drop a paragraph as suggested in Article 920841.  Nevertheless, the move is recorded as a deletion and insertion, thus any changes I make to the "inserted" paragraph will not be tracked as a change.

 

Any remedies?  Thanks.

Mail Merge from Access - numbered bullets

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 02:14 AM PDT

I have an Access application where I allow users to select contacts to create a mail merge, using a pre-prepared template. The contacts could be email or paper recipients. The Word template contains numbered bullets within the text. The numbers are set to start afresh, not continue from previous. I am getting the following results-

1. If I run the mail merge from Word with the option to edit documents, the numbered bullets are ok for each contact

2. If I run from within Access, the email recipient's bullet numbers are fine. If I choose to print (destination 1), rather than create a new document, the bullet numbers are fine. However, if I choose to create a new document (destination 0) then bullet numbers will increment for each new contact - so what starts out as bullets 1, 2 and 3 for the 1st contact becomes 4, 5 and 6 for the 2nd contact, and so on.


Appreciate any thoughts on this. My preference was to create a new document so that the user can check it before it is printed, but editing this for over 100 recipients can be a bit tiresome!


The application could be used from a variety of Office versions. The Mail merge code is

With myWordDoc.MailMerge
       .OpenDataSource Name:= _
           DataSource, ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _
           AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _
           WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
           Format:=0, _
           Connection:="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=WorkbookFolder & DataSource;Mode=Read;Extended Properties=""HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";J", _
           SQLStatement:=mySQL, SQLStatement1:="", SubType:=1
         .Destination = myDestination
         .MailAddressFieldName = myRecipient
         .MailSubject = myTitle
         .SuppressBlankLines = True
            With .DataSource
                .FirstRecord = 1
                .LastRecord = -16
            End With
         .Execute Pause:=False
End With

Automatically filled forms/templates

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 11:40 PM PDT

Is it possible to create forms or templates that allow you to populate several sections with the same information at the same time?  I think I've seen this before but I can't remember where.

Do I need Office 365 and if so which package?

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 10:22 PM PDT

Greetings,

I am a freelance editor. I work with Office 2010 on a desktop PC. I use Word 2010 (a lot) to edit documents and refer versions with tracked changes back to my clients. I use Excel to log workflow and invoicing. I use Outlook to manage my correspondence, contacts and tasks. I have my own website and email addresses that are linked to it. I do not employ any staff permanently but pass documents around freelancers for editing.

I will be away from my office for 3 weeks from the end of November and need to keep editing work. Previously when travelling I have used a laptop with Office 2010 installed. Now I have bought a tablet+keyboard combo running Windows 8.  I need to receive bulky documents by email , edit them and track changes, and email them out.

I cannot figure out how I get a fully functioning version of Office working on my tablet. I am not certain that Office 365 does all that I need it to. It is not enough to be able to read documents, as I need full editing capability. 

Can anyone offer me clear guidance in layman's terms?

Thanks,

Andrew.
