Centering Images by Default

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 03:11 PM PST

Is there a way that I can have Word 2010 center images automatically when I insert them? I am working with a restricted Word template that does not allow writers to click on the "centering" button in the formatting toolbar. By default, images are left-justified, but I'd like to change this to "centered."

Any ideas?

Word changes fonts in building blocks

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 03:11 PM PST

I am using Word 2007. I added a small table to Building Blocks and saved it in my.dotx template. I closed Word and restarted it. When I inserted the table into a new file, the text font in the cells had changed from Verdana to Arial and the style was renamed. The style already exists in my.dotx template and I have used it many times.

 

How do I retain the font style in my building blocks?

Hyperlink base doesn't work in Word 2007

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 01:13 PM PST

I am using Word 2007 (because our office is behind the times) to write a document with hyperlinks that will call forth other supporting documents when clicked.  All of the documents are in the same directory.  I set my hyperlink base to .\ (to specify the current directory).  When I click on the hyperlinks, all I get is an error that says:  "The address of this site is not valid.  Check the address and try again."  I don't understand what I am doing incorrectly.  Could anyone help?

Thanks,

How can I get this "button" into a toolbar

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 11:37 AM PST

I cannot get my WORD 2003 to hang onto a "Change Case" button in the toolbar.

 

I tried using the "Add or Remove Buttons" choice, and using "customize" I put Change Case in the toolbar.  When I close WORD and then restart it, Change Case is gone.

 

I tried going through the Tools menu, but get the same result.  It goes in, works perfectly, but when I close WORD and then start it again, it is gone.

 

We tried reinstalling WORD (twice) and it made no difference.

 

I am using Windows XP Professional.

 

Other than that ONE THING, my WORD 2003 works perfectly in all ways.

Office 2003 Word - slow menu animations

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 11:31 AM PST

Hi,

Got a user with Office 2003 Standard, the 2007 Compatibility pack, and Outlook 2010 installed on a machine running XP SP3.  We've noticed that file and context menus within Word are animating at slow speeds (2-3 secs vs <1 sec on the computer right next to it).  From what I can determine with the testing I have done, it is only Word, and it is only for the file and context menus (this includes right-clicks).  Everything else seems to operate normally; this includes file and context menu animation speeds in other Office and non-office applications, general response speed of the PC and all applications (including general use of Word, typing, opening docs, saving, etc).

I have already tried uninstall/reinstall.

Does Word have a setting in it somewhere that can control the animation speed?

Please note: I am not considering turning off the animations as a "solution".  Thank you.

Microsoft Word: Ink/Drawing Problems

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 11:02 AM PST

When I use Microsoft Word to draw with my tablet, randomly a few of my pen strokes disappear! When I scroll through my document, I can find the stroke lines on different pages; usually they show up on the top of my page. Then I have to erase all those lines again and it's extremely annoying. It's very weird because it's not consistent (not every line disappears and usually only disappears every couple of words) and there's absolutely no reasoning behind it! Please, please help me fix this! Also, this usually only happens in Word... except it has happened once or twice in OneNote as well...

Word & Excel 2010 can't print after downloading Windows 7 Automatic Updates

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 10:08 AM PST

Here's a small but annoying issue I'm having:

 

After Windows downloads Automatic Updates, I cannot print in Word or Excel.  They freeze if I try to print, and I have to use Task Manager to close them.  Reopening doesn't make a difference -- they continue to freeze if I try to print until I reboot my PC.  This is before the updates are even installed, and rebooting without installing the updates fixes it.

 

It seems to have something to do with print drivers, because it also happens if I try to Save As PDF or XPS, and when I close Excel without saving changes to a file, it hangs and flashes "Accessing Printer; Press ESC to cancel" in the lower left-hand corner.

 

Again, not a huge problem, but since our employer has us set for Automatic Updates every Thursday morning, I have to interrupt my workday every Thursday  to reboot because of this issue.

 

BTW I'm using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.

Bug with nested Docvariables updating?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 09:14 AM PST

Hi,
I think there's a bug in the way that nested docvariable fields update. I'm posting this here in the hopes that someone has found a way around this (the question is about fields, but I'm using VBA to manipulate them, so I honestly don't know which forum is best. Fingers crossed.)

The issue (I think) is that a Docvariable field can't be updated if it is not (or would not) be evaluated by the larger expression. In general practice this is probably not a big deal, but I'm trying to check that fields haven't been typed over, and it is a problem when the value of the docvariable doesn't match its result. 

Create three document variables

- In the VBE Immediate Window:

activedocument.Variables("Var1").Value = "dog"
activedocument.Variables("bVar1").Value = "true"

Create some fields

- In the document (all brackets should be created using Ctrl+F9:
{DOCVARIABLE  Var1  \* MERGEFORMAT}

{IF {DOCVARIABLE  Var1} = "dog" "Found a dog!"}

{IF {COMPARE {DOCVARIABLE  bVar1} = "true"} = 1 {DOCVARIABLE  Var1} {IF {DOCVARIABLE  Var1} = "giraffe" "giraffe"} }

Update all fields and view their results. You should see:
dog
Found a dog!
dog

As expected. Now, change the value of Var1 to "rabbit":
activedocument.Variables("Var1").Value = "rabbit"

Update all fields and view their results. You should see:
rabbit

rabbit

Toggle field codes, select the very last DOCVARIABLE  Var1 field and toggle only it. It is still "dog".

Even if you select that field and update it specifically (rather than as part of a larger selection), it remains "dog".

You can see the problem as well by changing bVar1 to "false" and then changing Var1 again. Now the second-to-last DOCVARIABLE  Var1 field will be outdated.

I may be able to work out some logic for ignoring fields that don't directly impact the displayed value in my check. But that seems like a long way to go for what should be a relatively simple process.

Can anyone propose an alternate solution? Or perhaps replicate/not replicate my results? 

Thanks!

How to create different horizontal margins in the Header and Footer Word 2010

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 08:36 AM PST

I need to insert an image into the header of a Word 2010 document.  I  need the header to be .5 inches from the horizontal edge of the paper.   However, I need the document itself to have its margins set at 1 inch all around.   How do I make this happen?  This is what I've already tired and it didn't work:

1.  Click header

2. Insert image

3. Click on the image and go to the page layout tab.

4. Go to page setup

5. Go to Layout

6. Go to Headers and Footers (it ONLY lets you adjust the vertical margins in "from edge"

 

Then I tried this:

1. Click header

2. Insert image

3. Click on the image and go to the page layout tab.

4. Go to page setup

5. Go to Margins  (this adjusts the margins for both the header AND the body --- that's doesn't work)

 

Then I tried this:

1. Click header

2. Insert image

3. Click on the image and go to the page layout tab.

4. Go to the paragraph section.

5.  Adjust the left and right margins  (I can adjust the margins, but it seems to have NO effect on the image.  The image still stays stuck at 1 inch regardless of the left and right margins I select in the paragraph section.

 

Advice appreciated.  Thanks.

Template problem: Text lines cut off on right

Handwriting panel

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 08:02 AM PST

I have a Samsung Ativ Tab 3 from work which I quite like and which I am trying to use for editing Word documents.
I say trying because I am not a keyboard person, I like pens. Sadly I am finding using a pen practically useless in this setting (I seriously see me returning to my laptop and wacom graphire combo for Office 2007).
The Ativ has Word 2013 - Is it possible to change the size of the handwriting panel???????? I have always been able to do this on PC, it is crucial for a tablet because the stupid panel/keybpard input (and yes, it is stupid!) literally takes up half the screen:

It really is a nightmare, I am so disappointed, and it means I am working at less than half speed, what with that and other problems with not so great pen performance. I have my own Samsung Note 10.1 with pen which works beautifully with its Polaris.

I am at my wits end with this. I certainly will not be moving my other PCs over to Word 2013 or version other than what I already have. So before I leave MS to go for Docs2Go (because Polaris doesnt have tracking) and stick with my Note 10.1, does anyone have a solution for this?
Considering the move is in the direction of more portable tablet style gadgets, how is MS expecting to stay in the market with this sort of problem?

Can't Reach Documents Because MSOffice is Performing Maintenance??

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 06:40 AM PST

I recently purchased MSOffice 2013.  I am trying to open documents that I have created on my own computer, on my own hard drive and I keep getting a message that reads.....

We're sorry WINWORD.EXE can't be used right now because Office is busy.  We're either updating or helping you add or remove some programs.  You can try using WINWORD.EXE again after we're done.  It shouldn't take long.

Are you kidding me right now?  I can't do my work at 9:30 a.m. on a workday because Office is doing maintenance?  I'm very, very disappointed in this.  I have never had this issue before with any other version of MSOffice.  I'm not sure why them doing maintenance is affecting files that I have created and saved on my hard drive?  Is there any way around this so that I can get to work?  I did not purchase the monthly MSOffice 2013 program where everything was in the cloud.  So I'm just not sure why this is happening?

User Crop Marks: How to Set Them?

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 05:04 AM PST

Word 2013's crop marks aren't very useful because (a) they don't print, (b) they hug the edge of the text instead of the desired margins, and (c) they ignore the position of the footer. Has anyone developed a scheme for printable crop marks that are positioned where they are needed?

Bullet keyboard shortcut produces a different bullet style to the toolbar button

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 04:01 AM PST

I've noticed this frustrating problem which affects only one of my computers.

If I create a bulleted list using the button on the toolbar all is well (as per the default settings). 

But if I create a list using the ctrl + shift + L shortcut I experience something odd. 
The bullets are aligned to a different margin and when I hit tab the bullet does not change (to a hollow circle), nor does it indent quite as far. 

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to make the shortcut behave like the button?

Thanks. 

Undestanding stylesheets, templates and locking them

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 02:04 AM PST

I am in a project where we have been using a word template for our documents.

The documents created based on that template is edited by several people (across different companies), which means different windows and word versions. In the course of the development of the document, I have noticed many issues with the template and I got a couple of doubts:

Are stylesheets and document languages set in the template or in local word versions? I noticed some people seeing different fonts then me (I had Tahoma while they had Times New Roman) and I saw the language of the document changing after each iteration. What could have caused the overwriting of them?

Is there a way to "lock" the stylesheet and the language of a document so I am sure they are not overwritten?

Prefix one character to a series of digits

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 07:47 PM PST

In a very large document, I have thousands of superscripts of 1,2, or 3 digits in Arial Black, for example 9 or 43 or 122. They occur sporadically in text paragraphs in Times New Roman. I want to change the Times New Roman to another font, such as Palatino, without affecting the superscripts. (There are other superscripts, in TNR, which will stay superscripts and be changed to the new font.)

I thought of putting a ~ in front of each string, giving ~9, ~43, or ~122. After I do that, I would take the ~9, ~43, or ~122 superscripts in the new text font, e.g. Palatino, and convert them to 9, 43, and 122 in Arial Black (without the ~).

In other words, I'm converting paragraphs in TNR/Arial Black to Palatino/Arial Black where the Arial Black digits are all superscripts. The Palatino line spacing will be of the Exactly type but not necessarily the same as the TNR line spacing.

Maybe there is a one-step method but I don't know how to do it.

I'll be grateful for any help.

Linked documents do not update

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 07:27 PM PST

I have created a hardlink to a Word document

I notice that when I used MS-Word to update and save either document, the changes were not mirrored in the other document.

However, when I created a hardlink to a text file, and use Notepad to change one file, the changes were updated into the other file too.

 

Seems like MS-Word destroys the hardlink. I notice similar issues with Excel and Powerpoint.

 

Can someone help me on this? Are there any workaround solutions to this problem?

Change One Hyperlink Style

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 05:55 PM PST

I want to change the foreground color of one hyperlink in my document, since this hyperlink is on a dark background. I don't want to change the formatting of all my hyperlinks since most of my hyperlinks are on a light background. Is it possible to change the formatting of only one hyperlink in Microsoft Word 2010?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 05:02 PM PST

When working in a table, sometimes the font appears heavier (not bold) and slightly blurred in a cell.  When the same cell is selected, the highlight is a darker blue that usual.  I have cleared formats, applied styles,  manually changed fonts.  Nothing helps.  Is there a reason that this happens?

Problems: Insert, Drag and drop table rows/columns

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 04:50 PM PST

1. Is it possible to select which row or column formatting it should follow when a new row/column is inserted to the table?

For example
Col1 --- Col2 --- Col3

If you insert a new column
Col1 --- Col2 --- NewCol --- Col3

NewCol copies the formatting of Col3, but I want Col2's.
How?

2. When I drag and drop the table column, Word automatically adjust the width of the column to match the right side of the column. It is annoying.  I want it to keep the original width. How to do?

For example
Col1 --- Col2 [width 2cm] --- Col3 --- Col4 [width 6cm]

Then I dragged and dropped Col2
Col1 --- Col3 --- Col2 [width 6cm] --- Col4 [width 6cm]

I don't want to change the width. I want to keep it 2cm after I moved Col2.
How?

Any efficient workaround is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Too many picture switches defined."  I am unable to work out what I am doing wrong.  The screen shot below shows the error message and the field code.  Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Make multilevel list begin at level 1 when the text is indented

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 03:36 PM PST

I've created a multilevel list style that is working well. My problem is that the indentation level of text in my reports changes with each section; every subsequent section is indented further than the previous section (this is achieved via quick styles). When I insert the multilevel list, it aligns with the indented text but the bullet the list begins with is a lower level bullet, instead of the level 1 bullet.

So, I guess my question is: is there any way to make a multilevel list begin at level 1 when the text is indented?

Exchange 5.5 Exchane 2003 sending emails to each other question

Join the 5.5 org. When you create the connections agreements, you should then
be able to send/receive emails, and replicate your public folders. Replicate
the PFs before moving mailboxes, including all your system folders. This will
prevent a myriad of issues.

Also since you redid the AD, make sure your AD is in at least 2000 native
mode, unless of course you have an NT domain in the mix as well. Putting the
the AD in 2003 native mode would be optimal unless you have other Windows
2000 DCs, then you need to leave it in 2000 native mode.

how do i configure office2003 to link to mozilla email?

Posted: 02 Nov 2005 02:28 PM PST

Yes it is possible.

Go to Control Panel, Network & Internet Connections,
In the second half of the window select:
Internet Options
Now select "Programs" Tab
In EMAIL select the program of your choice.

I use Netscape mail (Mozzilla)!

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Check for multiple versions of Office installations..If there are remove the
program which is not part of the suite you have purchased or installed like a
trial version.
Then try to access the Office programs.

Mittu: What is the basis for your recommendation? The
instructions for the Eraser 97 utility say, "This utility is
designed to be run after you run the Setup program for Office and
click Remove All to remove Office". The Eraser 97 utility can be
used in addition to, but NOT INSTEAD OF, running the setup
program to uninstall Office 97.

Desperate: error 1918 while reinstalling microsoft office

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 08:45 AM PST

Hi,

If we are working on a Win XP SP2 machine, the MDAC component is already
present(more advanced). In that case, either you could continue the
installation by clicking on 'Ignore' for 10-15 times or someone has to send
the ODBC keys from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC and
restore them into your computer.

But clicking 'Ignore' for the time being will help you to continue with the
installation further and work with the Office programs.

what is the phone number to activate office XP?

Posted: 28 Oct 2005 09:39 AM PDT

You asked for the activation phone number. I gave you a link to
a page containing the activation phone number. You were able to
contact Microsoft using the activation phone number at the link I
provided. I believe I correctly answered the question that you
asked.

Rebooting usually means shutting down and restarting the computer
by clicking on Start->Shutdown->Restart, or by pressing the
on/off button if Windows stops responding. Generally, rebooting
your computer does not require you to enter the Office product key.

When you install Office for the first time on a computer, or if
you uninstall and then reinstall Office, you will be prompted to
enter the product key.

It is not clear from your post exactly what you are doing or why,
so a better explanation from you would be helpful. It would also
help if you could quote the error message EXACTLY, without
interpretation or obfuscation or omission of the parts you don't
think are important. Did Office come preinstalled on your
computer, or did you purchase a retail copy of Office separately
from your computer? And although you say you have Office XP, are
you sure it's not actually Office 2003? If you really do have
Office XP, then were you able to activate the software at some
previous time using the product key that you currently have?
Please do NOT post your product key here if you reply to this
post.

Office 2003 OEM deployment

Posted: 23 Oct 2005 11:50 PM PDT

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately it doesn't much help me.. The licensing
has already been done, so we can't change that, and the OEM site I need to be
a MS partner to get into it. I think I read somewhere that MS took out the
option of doing an OEM deployment after Office XP, but I can't be sure.

I'm sort of resigned to the fact that it's not possible now which imho is
completely ridiculous. Taking away a feature like this because we pay half
the price of an open license? How dare we save money!

Office 2000 stopped working after 4 days

Well, turns out Microsoft does not officially support mixing office
versions...in a Term Server environment. Office died yet again on one of
the servers this morning and I was fed up. My boss found a link shortly
thereafter about running multiple versions of Office.

Oh well, I'm pretty sure this will do it. I really wish someone would've
posted some insight though.

Oh, by the way, I disabled Dr Watson while I was reinstalling Office. I
hear it's horrible with Term Servers anyway.

Hi,

What do you mean by exclude?

It's not possible to exclude an opportunity. But it
should be possible to customize the statusCode so you can
have that status. This is not possible for the statecode -
it can only be open, won or lost.

I'm not sure about the closeprobability.

Hi Jerome,

A few ideas.

1. Make sure that the users can connect to the server as
normal by connecting to a shared drive if you have one.
IE does not check for accounts that have "expired
passwords", you just can't connect.

2. From a DOS window on your server,
type "ipconfig /flushdns" 3 or 4 times, then wait a few
minutes.

See if that helps.

Is Microsoft CRM Right For Me?

Posted: 28 Jul 2004 08:54 PM PDT

It's not a "square-peg/round-hole" type problem but the out-of-the-box MS CRM solution leaves a lot of verticals to do their own customization.

I browsed around the Microsoft CRM site and found only one partner offering anything like what you're describing. The web page I went to is http://mbs2.microsoft.com/gps/soldev.nsf/(IndustryIS)/008D871E548FD4BE85256CFD006A46A1?Opendocument and here's a cut-and-paste of the information there:

I have a real estate investing business, and I'm thinking about using
some type of sales automation tool to help make it more efficient.
However, it's not so much "sales" that I want to track as much as it
is "opportunities." That is, we look for an investment property and
then go through a well-defined process to decide if we want to buy the
property. I think it's similar to sales processes in that, at any
step, new information may make us decide not to buy (similar to a lead
dying). Plus, we are constantly managing our pipeline to make sure
that we have enough opportunities at the various levels of the process
to keep us going.

We have 3 people, and we each can do any part of the 10-part process.
If we had a tool that would make it possible for us to easily and
independently see various opportunities that are in the pipeline,
sometimes assigning them to indivduals sometimes to the group, we'd be
more productive.

This seems like it would/should be possible with a good sales force
tool, but it comes down to implementation. For example, our initial
"leads" are property addresses. We eventually put an owner's name and
contact info with that address, but that owner could be viewed almost
as a vendor. The same property owner could have several leads that we
are interested in. We'd want to be able to track this, so we could
have the same one of us call a repeat "vendor."

Even though this is just the beginning, my question to any MS CRM
implementors out there is whether I should even consider this product
for such a business, or would this just be shoe-horning a square ped
into a round hole.

Thanks,
Bill

How to change the values in xml for picklist

Posted: 28 Jul 2004 03:03 AM PDT

That's the basics, but you first need to clear the existing values. As I said
though, you need to make sure you have the "full" list of all possible values
defined to CRM, then you would re-build the list with the proper subset.

CRM integration for Solomon

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 08:28 PM PDT

Jipson,

The BTS Partner Edition that comes with CRM won't install unless you have a
Great Plains environment setup. It requires this as part of the isntall checks.

You don't need to put BTS & the integration on seperate machines, but depending
on the work load you are processing, you may run into performance issues. When
it comes to integrations, capacity is a big "depends".

You have to answer the expense question yourself. You can try with a single
server and them split out to 2 servers at a later time, but you will incur
additional implementation costs to do the split, so if you think you need that
capaacity, I'd do it from the get go.
