Microsoft Word - issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad

Microsoft Word - issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad


issues with accessing word starter and a peculiar issue with word pad

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 03:16 PM PDT

     A month or two ago, about a year after I obtained my Acer "notebook", when I clicked on my word documents, instead of turning on my word starter, 
I would get a cryptic message that said -- "The Microsoft Office product to open this file is not installed on your computer".
     I can open the files, but I have to turn on the word starter program first, and then search for the document, and open it, thereby disproving the notion that i don't have a program that will open it.  WHAT GIVES????
     Also, when I used wordpad to see if it would save documents in a form that i could readily open, to make it easier to add bits and pieces of documents to create another document, it refused to save the document, until I got rid of an asterisk at the front of the document format name, then it worked OK.  
What is going on here?
     Does Word Starter or Office Starter have an expiration date?  Is this microsoft's way of telling me?  Or has my computer been hacked?
sincerely,
 Eldon Rollins

Phantom crosshatching

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 02:59 PM PDT

Phantom crosshatching suddently appeared on my MS Word documents!  It is not a watermark, it is not a background fill.  

I notice that the cross hatching lines up with the margin marker not the indent marker; I notice also that the image fits within the margins on all sides of the document except on the bottom edge.  There it seems to be cut off.  Perhaps most importantly, the image does not print out on the finished document..

Thanks so much!!!

Webpage created in Word 2013 won't display properly in IE10

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I have created a webpage in Word 2013 and saved it as Web Page (*.htm;*.html). It won't display properly in IE10 unless viewed in Compatibility View. One would think IE would support webpages created by another Microsoft program. What can I do in Word 2013 to make the website display properly in IE10 in non-Compatibility View?

Multiple macros

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:38 PM PDT

I have recently upgraded from Word 2003 up to word 2013.  I have numerous macros which I previously organized in custom toolbars, which were used for one click addition of text to documents which I create.  is there any suggestion as to the best way to replicate this in Word 2013 since one apparently cannot add custom toolbars.  I have windows 8, and word 2003 does not interface well at all.  Therefore I feel like I must make the upgrade to Word 2013 and do something to my toolbars.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Word 2013 - Expand/collapse 'triangles'

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:12 PM PDT

Set other default program for ONLY .RTF documents.

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:08 PM PDT

I have Office 2007 running in Windows 7.  I have a lot of .docx files and also .rtf files.  I want to be able to set the default program for just the .rtf files to a program other than Office Word 2007.  I tried setting the default program for one of the .rtf files but that seemed to changes every Word file on the computer.  So can anyone tell me how to set Word 2007 as the default program for .docx files and something else as the default program for .rtf files?  Of if that can even be done.

Microsoft Office Signature Line: How can I change the look / appearance / format / font of the Signature Setup?

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 01:01 PM PDT

Community,

Is it possible to edit or format the appearance of the "Microsoft Office Signature Line?"  I like the digital certificate, but the font rarely matches the document or form I'm using and sometimes I'd rather not have a big X and the underline.  I'm currently using either Office 2007 or Office 2010.  We'll be migrating soon to Office 2013, but it's use is limited to few individuals in my company.

Thanks,

Clint

Error Msg: Word (Compatability Mode) Not Responding

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 12:53 PM PDT

I am a busy book editor, and spend hours working in Word. I've just installed Office 2013 on a Toshiba with Windows 8 (ugh). I can work just fine for an hour or so, but then I get the error message above. The screen goes grey, the hourglass pops up, and it becomes all but impossible to type. It does this for every character I type. Does the dang brand-new computer need to REST? Is there a Windows/Word fix? I do not have any applications open other than MS Word and Internet Explorer. This problem is interfering with my meager income. Can anyone help?

I have a multi sectioned document.  I want to put a header on the first page of each section.  I have done that and it works fine.  the problem arises when I want to put a footer with page numbers for each page of each section.  When I unclick the "different first page" option for the footer, it changes the header settings also.  How do I input different and separate settings for the header and the footer.  I have MS Word 2010.

Printing in Word 2010

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 06:30 AM PDT

I'm trying to print a poster in Word 2010 and I'm having problems. 

 

I've changed the size to "D" and increased it by 300% but the enlarged image ends up getting pushed off of the page.  I'll keep trying because it has worked without issue in the past - I'm not sure if it is a Word problem or a print driver issue. 

 

However, I noticed that the sizes of the pages all appear wrong.  Any suggestions on why this is or how to fix it?

Small buttons on the Surface 2

Does anyone, like me, find the buttons on Surface 2 / Office tiny?


You can really see the need for a new Windows 8 touch version of Office on a smaller Win 8 device.


My fear is that they will dumb down Office touch like the Modern apps which take a lot of screen space to accomplish a few tasks.

Suggestions for implementing a shared normal.dotm template for my office

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 02:06 PM PDT

I've developed a normal.dotm template for my office to use. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to implement it. It will be up to me to ensure everyone knows how to access it, so I'm wondering if I need to import it onto each individual computer in the office, or if there's a way of sharing it on our server. I want it to be the default (obviously) for when all staff members open Word.

It includes a custom style set and macros, if that makes any difference.

Cursor has changed size in Word... how do I fix it?

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 01:03 PM PDT

Hello all

 

The "cursor" in Word, if I am calling it by the right name, has for some reason changed size.  Instead of being the same size as the text I am typing, it is much smaller.  It really throws me off.  I can't find any settings to get it back to normal.  I must have accidently hit something and I just can't figure out what I did.  I am not having the issue in any other Office program.  I am including a screen shot so folks can see just what I mean.

Shading in a table

Bad behavior of Mailings

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 11:58 AM PDT

I run Word 2013/Windows 8 on my Lenovo Ultrabook.  The Mailings function for both envelopes and labels behaves badly by seeming to process the address lines as I enter them.  The first letter of the line appears as I type it, but the remainder of the letters/numerals in the line do not appear for 10 to 30 seconds.  Is this a settings problem or something worse?

My Japanese Fonts doesn't work with office 2013

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:58 AM PDT

Hello.

My name is Say.
I have purchased Home & Student  Office 2013 last week by download. I have Japanese font pack downloaded for keyboard and I type Japanese daily basis. I also did download free Microsoft Japanese fonts for Office. I can type English without a problem, but when I type Japanese, a box open up at the top left side and Japanese fonts appears there. Also often fonts freeze so I can not continue. It is not working at all. I have to use my email account to write something and cut / past to a page. This should not works like this. I used have office 2007 with different PC, but I never had this kind of problem.

I called Microsoft 3 times and at the third time, a  technician helped me with downloading ( re-install)again. But It is the same situation. 
Case # : 1221715065
Seems like PowerPoint is working with Japanese fonts normally, but  Word and Excel.

Please help me with this matter. I have Japanese blog and website. I really need to solve this problem.
I really appreciate if someone can help me.

Best Regards,

Say
 

Uproof and proof folders - custom dictionary

skip backstage when printing

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:56 AM PDT

I use ctrl+p to print documents in Word.  In previous versions, this shortcut opened the print dialog box.  Now it opens the backstage.  I can work more quickly by skipping the backstage.  It really doesn't provide any value for my use of Word.  I use shortcuts extensively since I do not have to take my hands off the keyboard and this saves time typing.  I am paid to produce documents as quickly as possible and the keyboard shortcuts were very useful for this until Word 2013.  Now certain shortcuts, especially ctrl+p, takes longer since it opens to the backstage, which I don't need.  Often I need to print 2 or more copies of a document.  Before 2013, I used ctrl+p, pressed "2" or however many copies I wanted and then pressed "enter".  Done.  Or I need to print just the current page.  I would press ctrl+p, alt+e, enter.  Done.  Now I have to take my hands off the keyboard, reach for the mouse, fish around until the cursor is on the correct item, click the item to open the drop down box, move the mouse to the drop down option, click it, move the mouse to "Print" and click it.  WHAT A WASTE OF TIME! 
I would like to see the backstage itself as an option, not the norm.  Is there some way this can be done? 
Thanks for any suggestions.

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere in Word?  I did the install of Word and simply took all the defaults.

Thanks!!

Inserting Documents With Numbering

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 08:32 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have a large document that I insert documents into that has numbered lists.  I am wanting the numbered lists to stay as they are when I insert them, but sometimes the numbers act as if it should auto number and the numbers change.  For instance, a document may have points numbered from 1 to 10.  Then I insert a document that has points numbered from 1 to 10.  Sometimes the second document's numbering changes to 11 - 20.  This also happens to lists of points that are lettered.  How do you turn this off and allow me to instert documents with out the numbering and lettering change from one document to another?

 

I have gone to File/Options and unchecked the numbering option and it is still numbering.

 

Thanks for your assistance.

I finished my assignment, saved and came off Word, then when I went back onto the document the type was absolutely huge, even if I put it on the smallest size 8. When I view it in print version it looks fine, but not when I am trying to work on it.

Please help, I can't work with it like this and its the same if I try opening a new document.

I Can't Undo Tabs in Word

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 06:41 AM PDT

When I am typing in word, I have a problem where I can tab text to the right but if I put the cursor to the left of that text and hit the backspace button to undo the tab and move the text back to the left, nothing happens. I have to go up to the "decrease indent" button at the top in order to move the text back but that is such a pain. Also, if I have bulleted lists, I can't delete the bullet points by pushing the backspace button. I have to highlight it with the mouse and then push backspace.


I am using word 2013 and it isn't a problem with the keyboard, since I have tried to fix this problem by swapping out keyboards and it was the same.

Serialized Field

Posted: 27 May 2006 08:15 AM PDT

Hi John,

I think the clue is in Help for serialize.

From help: "Works starts serializing with the next new record you add".

In other words, serialization will start at the place where a new record is
added, all existing records will be blank.
---------------------

If you want to serialize existing records in your existing Field.

Format the Field as General.

Input 1 in the first record of the field.

To highlight all the existing records of that field. Point mouse to first
record of that field, click and hold down the mouse button, and then move
the mouse pointer down until all records are highlighted.

On the Edit menu, click Fill Series.

Under Units, click the unit you want for the series.

If you want the series to increase more than one unit, select the number
that appears in the Step By box, and the type a different number.

Click Ok.

Note If you decide not to use the series, immediately click Undo Fill
Series on the Edit menu.
---------------------------

If all is okay so far you can now format that Field as serialize if you
want. The only thing you want to remember is to start your serialize number
with it's correct number. As explained by Help, "Works starts serializing
with the next new record you add".

Hope this helps,
Ken

Works 8.5 How to set open folder?

Posted: 26 May 2006 10:48 AM PDT

The file save as or open type is something we dont have much control
over. To choose *.* just go all the way down in the open dialog and
choose "All files". This will display all the files in the drive you
want to open even if works Word processor cannot open them. Is this
what you are looking for?

I would suggest not changing the list as that might be dangerous and
lead to data loss.

Office 2007 Beta Corrupts Works 6.0

You might be able to apply the same method described in

I had the same problem after installing Office 2007 B2 of
not being able to open Works 7. What I did to get Works 7 functioning again
was: Uninstall Works 7, delete the Works folder from "Program files (x86)",
reinstall Works 7. Everything works normally, if I open a WPS document in
Word I get a warning about a possible malicious document which I ignore
because I know the document source. Usually I'll open Works for viewing
documents that were saved in Works.

Hi Jim,
After some research, here's some info for you:
1) A full installation of Word 2007 installs the latest Works converter
(Works632.cnv), which includes some DLL's from beta Works 9.
2) These Works 9 DLL's have the same name and location as their Works
6/7/8/8.5 counterparts, meaning that the old Works DLL's get overwritten
with their Works 9 counterparts.
3) Some differences in Works 9 cause these newer DLL's to be incompatible
with the older versions of works, so the system loader complains about
missing exports when trying to run the program. As a result, the Task
Launcher is the only Works app that will run (it doesn't have the dependency
on the files that get overwritten).
Works can be restored via the following steps:
1) Start Office setup in maintenance mode
2) Uninstall the Works converter (the rest of Office 2007 is fine)
3) Uninstall Works
4) Reinstall Works
Note that this will mean that Word will not be able to read WPS files. At
the moment, I don't know of any way to fix this (I haven't tried it with the
old converter from the web site, but I don't think it will work).
HTH.

DELETE

Posted: 24 May 2006 11:25 AM PDT

If you have deleted it from the drive it will not be visible in the
works folder. If you are seeing the file in the Works task launcher,
then you will have to delete the file, double click the file name in
the history of the launcher and then approve the removal of that record
from the task launcher history list.

Does this help. please reply if you have any Questions.
Thanks

Works 7 font cache error

Posted: 24 May 2006 07:08 AM PDT

Hi Jim,

The cleanup utilities provide one to return their computer to a original
Works installation.

As you still have problems I can only assume it is not caused by Works.

You might try searching this news group at Google for Font Cache, perhaps
one of their suggestion may help.

Good luck,
Ken

Works Spreadsheets, Can't Open

Posted: 22 May 2006 03:29 PM PDT

You may have a corrupted install of Works. I looked at my Works 6, and
wkssole.dll does have an entry point of _MatGetObjName@8

I'm guessing that you are trying to start the spreadsheet from the Task
Launcher. As a temporary work around, try starting the spreadsheet
program directly it. It's typically located at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wksss.exe

You can create a shortcut to the program. Starting wksss.exe directly
should open a blank spreadsheet.
