| Office Home & Business 2013 Posted: 31 Oct 2013 02:32 PM PDT I purchased 2 computers and 2 Home & Office at Best buy a few month ago. I loaded one of them ok but the other one is not working. Shows invalid. I cant download from the disk due to the new computers not having a dvd player. Can you send me information on how I can get this set up? I have spent a good part of the day trying to get this to work. Thanks you, Duane Cristion *** Email address is removed for privacy *** |
| Autosave not working! Posted: 31 Oct 2013 01:44 PM PDT Does anyone know what would cause Word 2010 set to autosave files every two minutes to never save anything? The default folder does not contain any .asd files! Could Norton be removing them? I don't see that they were ever there! |
| Viewing Saved Files Posted: 31 Oct 2013 01:25 PM PDT In older versions of Word, whenever I open a saved file, it opens in the screen view in which I saved the file. Now, when I open a file, it opens in whatever view my last open file was in. Is there a way to change it back? |
| fillable form locked Posted: 31 Oct 2013 01:22 PM PDT I created a form that was meant to be filled out, and tried to restrict editing to fill out gray areas and checkboxes only. It wouldn't do it, so I stopped trying. The next time I opened it and made changes to the form, I saved it and now it restricted editing to the whole document-- I can't even fill out the gray areas or check the boxes anymore! I tried the Developer Tab- Restrict Editing- to try to click on Stop Protection, but it doesn't give me that option (instead it gives me the option to restrict it, as if it were not locked already).
I do know the password, but I can't get it to prompt me for one. Any ideas on how to edit this? I am using Word 2010.

| Keeping key fields in sync Posted: 31 Oct 2013 01:21 PM PDT I'm writing a document that references an approval date in more than one place. I'd like to make one of those places updatable and the other just a reference to it. My goal is to avoid those two displayed dates ever being different. This would be easy in excel -- just reference the originating cell -- but how do you do it in a word doc? |
| Can I create a macro-free default template? Posted: 31 Oct 2013 12:31 PM PDT I work in an environment that requires the "VBA Macro Notification Settings" in group policy to be set to Enabled, and to "Disable all with notification". If you've never seen it, the notifications are extremely annoying, especially if all you are doing is opening Word. You get the notifications just by opening Word because even normal.dotm is macro-enabled.
So you understand the environment a little more, I am the system administrator deploying virtual machines from a single master image - and I'm looking for options (that don't include changing the group policy setting).
My questions are: 1. Is it possible to create a macro-free template and deploy to all users via my master image? 2. Or is there another way to keep the macro notifications to a minimum when first opening Word? |
| Mail Merge Maybe Question Posted: 31 Oct 2013 12:25 PM PDT Hi- Have a letter in MSWord that will have changeable bullets. Can have 3 bullets or as many as 15. We have an Excel file that will have up to 15 columns to fill in the bullets. So there will be criteria, if you see Q2 Fail in column G put in text otherwise leave blank and delete blank row. We want to be able to eliminate blank bullets so there are no holes. Can this be done through mail-merge, or do we have to go another route? Thanks very much! |

| How to make cover page template permanent and not disappear Posted: 31 Oct 2013 11:16 AM PDT I would really appreciate help in this issue, as my company is in need of help.
We are trying to create a global cover page within microsoft word that all employees can use.
I created a custom cover page and currently, if you click "Insert-> Cover Page->" it appears perfectly. But when I send it to someone, it disappears, and the custom cover page is no longer there.
How can we make the custom cover page appear for everyone through different versions?

| "Save As" Window is blank? Posted: 31 Oct 2013 09:43 AM PDT When I am saving a Word document for the first time in Word 2013, the Save As window pops up but it's blank so I can't name the file or choose where to save it to. It remains blank despite giving it time to load. Note: The window does not say that it's "Not Responding" like I thought it would since it's not working. I don't know how to fix this. I reinserted my Office disk to see if it would fix the issue but it didn't work. It's an issue spread throughout all of MS Office. When I try to import an Excel file in Access, I try to browse for the file I want to import and the window is blank. The only things that do show up in the window are the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons but they don't do anything when I click on them. I need to be able to do these things for school so I'm hoping to find an answer soon. I've done searches online but haven't found any answers. Thanks. |

| Mail Merge problems Posted: 31 Oct 2013 08:06 AM PDT I have an Excel workbook that I'm using to merge names onto a certificate (letter) in Word 2007. My spreadsheet is set up as follows: | First Name | Last Name | First Name_1 | Last Name_1 | First Name_2 | Last Name_2 | Chris Holward Janice Smith Steve Young Jennifer Todd James Jones Don Gaines William Armstrong I'm having 2 issues: - I need each name in each record (row) to print on a seperate sheet. I inserted page breaks so it generated 3 pages and put the field codes, First Name Last Name on page 1, First Name_1 Last Name_1 on page 2, etc. That worked but created problem #2.
- If there's no name in the First Name_2 Last Name_2 columns it prints a blank page (obviously because of my page breaks). I need it to instead merge the name in the next record.
There are quite a few records that do not have anything in the First Name_2 Last Name_2 columns, and the list is too long to type something in those blank cells and do a SkipIf for whatever I've typed in there. Example of how I need it to print: Page 1 - Chris Howard Page 2 - Janice Smith Page 3 - Steve Young Page 4 - Jennifer Todd Page 5 - James Jones etc Thanks in advance for your help! Chris |

| Mail merge finishing issue Posted: 31 Oct 2013 07:42 AM PDT I am doing a mail merge for a file that is a total of 4 pages per record. There are around 200 records. I am printing on 11/17 and would like each record folded into a booklet. The interesting thing is, when I "finish mail merge" and select to print only 3 records, it will print and fold correctly. When I print all records, it just prints on 11/17 BUT does not fold. Any ideas on how do address this issue?

| Default save location reverts to Skydrive Documents rather than documents on PC folder Posted: 31 Oct 2013 07:27 AM PDT I have Office 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 system. I wish my default save location to be C:\Users\Mike\Documents and I have used the 'Options' settings to ensure that the Backstage is not shown and also the ensure that additional places for saving are not shown. I have ticked the option to say save to computer by default is selected and I have entered the path above into the default local file location. (see screenshot) 
However, when I am working on a document and click save, the dialogue box takes me to this location C:\Users\Mike\SkyDrive\Documents
I have tried changing the location to other places e.g. desktop and it works as it should. So it would appear that it is just a problem that affects the way that Office recognises the 'documents' part of the path.
Is this a particular problem to me? Is there any solution? |
| A template for a form in Word with date-picker looses functionality when I use the template to make a new document Posted: 31 Oct 2013 07:09 AM PDT I made a template in word with date-pikker, checkbox and item-selector (via developer-ribbon). I saved this as *.dotm. Curious is how Word treats this in various cases: Case 1: when I would open de template, and save it as *.dotx, those form elements wil not work anymore, but I would still be able to see a trace of a licht-grey rounded canvas when I select it. --> This behaviour is strange, but I don't care, since it works fine in *.dotm Case 2: when I click 'new' --> select the template (*.dotm), no trace of the form elements will be visible. Not even the light-grey canvas as mentioned in Case 1. --> Also strange behaviour, but this time, I do care, since I want to use the template to make forms. --> I would expect the same behaviour as in Case 3 (see below). Case 3: when I open the template, and click 'Save As' --> save as *.docm, the form works fine. --> Behaviour as expected. Still, I prefer to use 'New' to create new documents, but Case 2 does not work as expected. Can anyone help? |
| MS Word not printing Photos in colour Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:51 AM PDT MS Word not printing Photos in colour MS Word is printing all photos on the document in b+w.
The Printer is Definitely a colour printer as you can print the document as a PDF and the colour is printed. I can also print colour in the same document ie. add red text and it prints in colour the text in colour but not the picture.
I have ticked the print background colour and images, this does not work.
I have uninstalled and re-installed office... No joy I cannot find any other causes to this.
I've even re-installed drivers etc for printer.
To me seems like it a setting or some tick somewhere in Word but i cannot find it |

| Unable to duplex print a Word 2013 doc containing a table Posted: 31 Oct 2013 06:24 AM PDT I have not been able to successfully duplex print a Word 2013 doc that has a table inserted into it. [A table I created within the same Word 2013 doc.) I can, however, duplex print a Word doc that contains only text (no table). After the first page with the table prints and the paper is pulled back into the printer, I receive an unspecified error that simply identifies the printer and states that 'The printer couldn't print Word '. I have cleared the print queue each time before attempting to print again thinking that might be impacting the problem. I have also converted the document to a pdf, but I received the same error. I have verified that I have the latest print driver.

| Office 2013 force closes a lot after 8.1 update. Posted: 31 Oct 2013 04:54 AM PDT Ok, so I recently updated from the preview version of 8.1 to the official version, and ever since I reinstalled office 2013 (home and student), it has a habit of force closing when doing a number of things. If I try to spell check, scroll up/down/left/right of a page, and if I try to zoom in or out. It's happened a lot more than just once, and I've already tried reinstalling it. It also happens throughout all office applications. It also wasn't a problem in Windows 8.1 preview or Windows 8. Please help. |

| Problem with Word 2010 Form behaviour Posted: 31 Oct 2013 04:30 AM PDT Hi People, I am using Word 2010 to create a document that has a form in its Appendix. I am saving it with the setting 'Editing Restriction - Filling in Forms'. So far, so good. The problem starts when I or my colleagues then open the document. We can't use the 'table of contents' navigation tool on the left-hand side of the screen to navigate - whatever section header we click on we go to the Appendix where the form is. If we click anywhere on the body of the document - we also go straight to the Appendix. If we do File > Print to get a print preview, we get shown the first page of the Appendix, where the form starts. The only navigation we can do is using the scroll arrows to the right of the body of the text. Does anyone know if there's a way to save a document with a form in it, in such a way that the navigation isn't so rigid, please? Thanks in advance. |

| New *.docm using a *dotm template does not work (Office 2010, Windows 7) Posted: 31 Oct 2013 03:54 AM PDT When I try to create a document out of a template with macro's, that document should get a *.docm extention. But when I use the function 'New', and select the template (with macro's), I get a *.docx document. Even when I use 'save as' to change the extention, the macro's are lost. This is very unlogical behaviour, since I made the macro's to be used in the document. |
| Word 2007 automatic page start Posted: 31 Oct 2013 03:45 AM PDT I've created a template in Word 2007. The first page is a cover page with a section break. It works very well apart from the fact that whenever I use it to create a document, instead of starting on the first page of the secod section, it start on the cover page (the first section). Users begin to type on the line at which the section break is located. How can I force the template to start on the first line of the second section? |
| Find linked elements in a Word document Posted: 31 Oct 2013 03:18 AM PDT Hi,
I have a large Word document which contains a broken link between one chart and an Excel document.
This causes trouble when a colleague with Word 2007 wants to open the file.
The link isn't meant to exist anyway and I'd like to delete the chart but the list of document links doesn't tell you where the link is in the document and I have no idea how to find it. The document is large and no charts appear to be broken so perhaps the element is hidden or whatever.
All I want to know is: How do I find out which elements in a Word document are actually linked to a data source?
Thx Stefan |
