Microsoft Word - Word will not open .doc files downloaded from Dropbox

Microsoft Word - Word will not open .doc files downloaded from Dropbox


Word will not open .doc files downloaded from Dropbox

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 01:33 PM PST

Hello, I am having an issue when I try to open .doc files. I download a .doc file from Dropbox and save it on my computer. When I try to open it in Microsoft Word, it attempts to "convert" the document, and opens it with symbols instead of the document. I have tried downloading multiple copies and the issue persists. This has also occurred with other files that are not from Dropbox. However, if I get on another Windows computer, download the same file from Dropbox and email it to myself, I can open it without a problem. The exact same .doc file. Other Windows computers can download and open the same Dropbox .doc file without any issue. I have also verified that Microsoft Word and Windows are completely up to date.

Why can't my computer open these files? Why is it trying to convert a .doc file?

How to create table template with two header rows

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 01:24 PM PST

I would like to create a table template in the table gallery that has two shaded header rows that repeat. In my restricted Word 2010 template, I already have a table template in the table gallery that has one shaded header (that repeats across pages). Initially, I thought that users could use the primary table template (with one shaded table header), and simply use the layout tools to add a second, repeating shaded header (Table Tools > Layout > Repeat Table Header). Unfortunately, when I save, close, and reopen the file, the second header shading is gone! Am I misunderstanding this feature?

I also read in another post ("Word 2010 tables forget multiple header rows upon closing file") that it may be possible to add a "building block" table to the style gallery? Is a "building block" table the same as a table template such as the one I already have? In that other post, it sounds like it may be possible to create a table and then add it to the table gallery instead of doing what I did: Open Table Tools > Create New Table Style.

Not able to save as .PNG or .JPEG

Hello,

Sitting here with Office 365 Home Premium.

Created some nice pictures and thought i'd save them as .PNG and use them for some programming.

However I am not able to save as .PNG. Not even as .JPEG.

Any ideas why it doesn't work? All I found searching was that it should work. Sorry about the Swedish by the way...

Home Ribbon

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 12:42 PM PST

When I'm working in a Word 2010 document the default ribbon is File so I have to keep clicking on Home everytime I do something in a document.  I have no clue why it's doing this as Home has always been the default ribbon before.  I read a previous post from someone with the same problem; however, the response was that the ribbon had been minimized which is not the case.  Thanks in advance for any help.

how to change a first pg section in mid-document

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 11:35 AM PST

I have a document with a different first page layout, which is what I want. However, later in the same document, when I insert a next page section break to make a section landscape, the section takes on the layout of the different first page. I can see in the header it shows, "First page header, section 2." How can I make the document have only one different first page header/footer?

 

What I find is if I try changing the header and footer in First page header, section 2, it also changes on my document's first page.

 

This is making me a bit crazy....

Find and Thesaurus not working right

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 11:06 AM PST

Both my Find function and Thesaurus stopped working correctly at the same time and I don't know why.  I am using Word 2010.

 

Normally when you click on Find a rectangular box appears on the left hand side of the screen where you can type in the word you want to find.  Then it tells you that you have XX instances of the word you are looking for and you can search through them to see which one you want.  This box doesn't show up.  I can still click on Find and Replace and do a search that way so the function still works, just not by using the rectangular box.

 

I have a similar problem with the Thesaurus.  Normally when I click on Thesaurus I get a rectangular box on the right hand side of the screen that gives me choices.  Now, the only thing that happens is the word gets highlighted.  I can still get a few suggestions by right clicking on the word and going to Synonyms, but that list is very short and doesn't give me enough options.

 

So, the functions appear to work, but the boxes don't come up to help me.

 

Can anyone help with this?  I have tried doing a Repair on MS Office but that didn't do anything.

 

Thanks.

Office 2013 deployment : Using OCT to deploy custom ribbon & Quick access toolbar

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 10:22 AM PST

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a custom ribbon & quick access toolbar with office OCT for Office 2013 but i can't find anywhere in the documentation saying how to do it.

There is an article for Office 2010 about this... but i'm not to sure if it would work for Office 2013. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee704589%28v=office.14%29.aspx#odc_office14_DeployCustomRibbon_ExampleofficeUICustomizationFile)

It talks about *.officeUI files or some other articles talk about *.QAT but when i export the configuration that i want to use for Word 2013 i get a *.exportedUI file.  Do i rename manullaly the file to be *.officeUI ?

Is there any unattended way to deploy this file so it is going to be applied for every users using a computer? 

The users profiles are stored locally and they use Windows 7.

Repairing Office/ Office is busy

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 09:39 AM PST

I recently got a new laptop with Office 365 University that includes: Excel, Word, Power Point, and One Note. I only use Word for right now. It was working just fine up until last weekend. Every time I opened Word, that little orange box kept coming up and said to repair it. I've tried repairing it by clicking the options it gave me, but it literally took all day and still nothing was fixed. Please, I need help with this. I am a student in college and I write a lot of essays. Please let me know how I can fix this! Thank you!

MY PC crashed a few weeks ago.  Despite my levels of security, a bug got in and ate HAL.DLL in the Root.  The technician to whom I take my PC when I have big problems, rebuilt the Window XP(SP), and I subsequently successfully update to Windows XP(SP3), which is where I was before the crash. I have had to download various items that didn't make it during the rebuild  One of the was Microsoft Word.  Does anybody know how I can re-install this?  I had it before the crash.  Thanks to all for your time and efforts.  Tim *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

 

Word 2013 - Comments appearing in reviewing pane, but comment bubbles missing from right of text.

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 09:17 AM PST

I have a document that I'm working on with several other authors, but because not everyone has Word 2013, I'm working in compatibility mode. I've done this with several other clients and have never had an issue. This time, though, the comments by one of the other authors are failing to show up in bubbles to the right of the text. I can view the comments in the review pane, but that's a huge pain since it takes forever to scroll through it (this is a 60,000 word project with a lot of edits). 

Because I've done this numerous times before, I don't think it's a compatibility issue, and I've made sure that all changes from all authors are shown. In-text edits are showing up just fine. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

How can I embed the SharePoint 'Version' column value in a Word document?

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 09:08 AM PST

I'm using SharePoint 2007 and Word 2007.  I want to include the SharePoint 'Version' column value in a Quickpart field in a Word document template, which is published on the SharePoint site as a content type.  By viewing a number of posts, e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/508229/how-can-i-include-value-of-sharepoints-version-column-in-a-word-document
I got to the situation described below:

  1. On the site content type, that I had named 'Project Document', I included the Core Document Column 'Version'.
  2. I created a policy on the site content type, I enabled labels and then specified the label as {Version}
  3. In the document template Project Document.dotx, which resides in the Forms folder of the document library, I inserted the QuickPart document property named 'Label' after which the text {Version} appears in the inserted field.
  4. When I use the New button in the library I can see a blank property box 'Version'.  However when I save the new document into the library there are two columns headed 'Version', one containing the SharePoint version number which increments on each check-in, and the other the showing the value from the document and which can be any value I choose to type into the Version property box.
This is not what the post above described.  So the question remains, how to get the SharePoint version into the policy label?

The baffling thing about this issue is that I would have assumed that many SharePoint users would want to do this to take advantage of SharePoint's document management capability.

Office default save to local folder, NOT Sky Drive?

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 08:50 AM PST

Since installing Windows 8.1, my default save location is now always Sky Drive\Documents.  Changing the save location in any Office program (Word, Excel, Power Point, Outlook) to the local folder does not cause a new document to default to save to the local hard drive folder, it always defaults to the Sky Drive folder. 

I do not want to save anything to Sky Drive. I want to save locally.  I do not use more than one computer, no one needs to collaborate with me, and I do not want any of my documents in a cloud location for anyone else to potentially access.

So how do I change this default so that when I save a new document in Word or Excel, etc. that the default location is always C:\Users\My Name\Documents and NEVER Sky Drive\Documents?

Formatting with Bullets & Captions

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 07:43 AM PST

Did you manage to fix this (see below)? I seem to be having a similar problem in Word 2010 - I have bullets and captions which look fine when in Word but then I click on 'print' (either to printer or PDF) and the formatting goes haywire. Some bullets are missing - extra spaces between paragraphs etc. When I go back to the Word document it has kept this formatting.

Thank You

---------------------------

Hi all -- 

 

When I print from Word 2010, the formatting of the document changes drastically. The spacing between lines expands, so that my 24 page document becomes 32 pages.  My figures are also disrupted in that 1) they are no longer positioned to minimize white space and 2) some of the multi-part figures are torn apart.

 

This happens when I print to a printer, or when I print to PDF.  

 

When I am finished printing, the word document remains in this new format. But then various actions cause the format to revert to its original state - for example this has happened when I closed and reopened.  If helpful, my primary font is Palatino, though I use Calibri for some figure captions, and I am using Windows 7 on a dell Latitude.

 

If I could just keep everything in one format or the other, this would be fine.  But bouncing back and forth is making formatting a nightmare for me!

 

Many thanks in advance for any help.   -P

Formatting Pages Help Needed

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 01:59 AM PST

I am creating a long "living" document that I am adding new pages to all throughout the document.  I would like to know if there is a way to format my document that will keep the pages I already have in the document from moving. 

 

For example, when I add a new page to my document, I have to go through the entire document after that point to put everything back where it is supposed to be on each page.  I would like to be able to add new pages without having to reformat the rest of the document.

Change the default bullets in Word 2007

Posted: 04 Nov 2013 12:08 AM PST

We have specific guidelines for creating documents in our organization. One of the specifications is the use of bullets in a document.

In MS Word 2007, I need to know how to change the default bullet used by Word for each level of indentation.

By default, the bullets used by MS Word are at the first level is a black dot, second level is a circle, third level is a filled square, etc. The first can remain a black dot, but the second needs to be an empty square, third level a dash.

I can make a style for each of these, but indenting the text later will not apply my next level of bullet. (at least I don't know how to)

Also, I would like to change the default levels of indentation provided by MS Word.

Each level, by default, is .25" from the previous level. Can this be changed to .2", or .15"?

Thanks

Rather than remove, it, why not change it?

When you boot Linux, add "init=/bin/sh" to the command line.

When it comes up, run

mount / -o remount,rw
passwd
mount / -o remount,ro

And then power off the computer. (The shutdown command won't
necessarily work, so we use the mount command to put the root
filesystem in a safe state.)

When you power back up, your password should be whatever you set it to
when prompted by the passwd command.

The only way I can imagine that it would fail would be if you had really

eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:D1:57:00:F0
inet addr:192.168.1.117 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:92050 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:154
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300
[compton ~]$

Second - /sbin/route -n does it show a local LAN (in addition to the
loopback). One assumes you have a route to the world through the Cisco. That
should look similar to this:

[compton ~]$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 32398 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 20 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.252 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 1455 eth0
[compton ~]$

Third is /etc/resolv.conf. This should have at least one name server
declaration (up to three). ALL must be working name servers. Assuming you
get name service from the internet, this might look like this:

nameserver 65.99.130.5
nameserver 65.99.130.67

You may get name service from the DHCP server, and if so, it has to know
both internal and external names/addresses. The resolver code believes the
first answer it receives, _even if_ that answer is "I don't know".
 

[compton ~]$ whatis ping
ping (8) - send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts
[compton ~]$ which ping
/bin/ping
[compton ~]$

Where do you think windoze got the idea of networking? No matter what you
might have heard, microsoft didn't invent networking, and the Internet has
been around in one form or another since the mid-80s. I'm sure you are
aware that some sites no longer respond to pings, because of abuse. A tool
that might be useful is 'traceroute' - another command microsoft copied
poorly.

Correction: I meant to write "The Office 200*7* version [of Publisher]

Also, I've had a modicum of success with files created using Word 2008's

desperate of circumstances - And definitely not for the purpose of

You can take a look at "MacOS X for UNIX geeks", which might provide a

You should go to a book store and take a look at these books before

Mac OS 10.5 Leopard breaks special paper sizesupport (envelop and label)

Posted: 16 Mar 2009 03:51 AM PDT

I think it is the combination of MS Office 2008 and Leopard. I can print the pdf from Adobe Reader and Adobe Illustrator also. The only difference is I have to define a custom paper size in the print dialog window. In Word I also select the custom paper size but is not send with the print job. Instead A4 paper is used.

The odd thing is I can't select a custom paper size in the preference pane as standard paper size for the HP Laserjet.

I use the latest version MS Office (12.1.5) and the latest version OS X 10.5.6. Normally we use the standard printer driver supplied with OS X and the updates (HP Laserjet 4100 Series v.3010.107). For this problem I have also tried the latest printer driver from the HP support site.
HP LaserJet Mac OS X Installer Print Only Software Solution for v10.2 - 10.5
7.8.0.761 28 Jan 2008
Without success.

The same problem is also discussed on the HP forum:
<http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1237207824081+28 353475&threadId=1176416>

We hope Microsoft and or Apple is working on a solution so we can upgrade from system 10.4 to 10.5

Hi there.

I'm not sure if you're still looking for this tool, but just to let you
know, I've notified the MS Download Center team of the problem link and
hopefully someone will be able to correct the error shortly. I unfortunately
can't provide an estimated time to resolution.

But you can see the current Exchange service pack on the Exchange System

If it hasn't the latest, just apply it.

That means that you want to get access to your Exchange server from a

Can you now tell me where the users are, where the exchange server is

Database Corruption

Actually, I haven't done anything yet. Not too experienced with Exchange.
We do a nightly BackupExec w/ Exchange agent backup of the mailboxes and the

Will an attempt to do an on-line backup provide me with more info as to the
health of the database?

That is not working. We've tried all different configurations. I've tried
just the server name, mail.servername.local, servername.local, and the IP
address of the server. Is there any place where I can go that will tell me
what my outgoing SMTP Server is? Or what the name of the Exchange Server is?
Or maybe there is something else I am missing.

No, I realy don't know how the rest is divided, but I would bet in a tie.
Probably by now Exchange 2003 should be a little ahead.
I think that 100% represent something like 45% of the total email market.

error (0x8004010F)

Posted: 03 Aug 2005 04:41 AM PDT

Hi Rex,

Thanks for detailed explanation. I apologize that I was unable to reply to
you soon after you update it. Please understand that it was weekend on my
side when you replied. Now I am still here to do my best to help you.

This topology makes me more confident that the issue happens when there
isn't any replica of Offline Address Book in Location 1 and Location 3. Let
me explain it further.

First of all, based on my knowledge, the error 0x8004010f happens when
Outlook cannot download Offline Address Book from the Exchange Server.
Obviously, when VPN connection to Location 2 is lost, Outlook Clients in
Location 1 and 3 cannot download the offline address book because there
isn't any replica there.

Please follow the steps below to add a replica to both Exchange Servers of
Location 1 & 3.

a. Start Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups, expand the
name of your administrative group, expand Folders, and then click Public
Folders.
b. Right-click Public Folders, and then click View System Folders.

Note If you do not see a View System Folders option, then you are already
viewing system folders.
c. Expand the Offline Address Book folder.
d. Right-click the /o=Organization Name/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default
Offline Address List folder, and then click Properties.

Note If you receive a message that the mail proxy for this folder not being
found, click OK.
e. Add a replica of this folder to both Exchange Server 2003.
f. Expand the /o=Organization Name/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline
Address List folder, and then click the OAB Version 2 and OAB Version 3a
folders respectively. Right-click this folder, and then click Properties.
g. Add a replica of this folder to the both Exchange Server 2003.
h. After replicas have been made to the destination servesr, wait for
replication to complete, and then make sure that the replica folders are
synchronized with the source folders. To do so, view the properties of the
specific public folder, click the Replication tab, and then click Details.
The Replication Status column indicates In Sync.

After that, please verify the Offline Address Book in Exchange Servers in
Location 1 & 3.

1. Open Exchange System Manager.
2. Expand Administrative Group which contains Exchange Servers in Location
1 & 3.
3. Right click each Mailbox Store in both Exchange Servers, to verify that
the correct OAB is referenced under the General Tab. And make sure the
mailbox store is pointing to the Public Folder Store in the same Exchange
Server.
4. Click OK to save the setting.

Then please verify the issue and let me know the result. If there is
anything unclear, feel free to let me know. Thanks and have a nice day!
