Wildcards in MS Word

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 01:34 PM PST

I am trying to find all phone numbers that are in the format of (123) 456-7890 and replace it with 123.456.789 by using wildcards.  I'm trying to use this to do it but it won't recognize the parentheses around the first 3 digits.  How do I fix this problem?

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST

Hi, while working on a document in MS Word, I found something in the ribbon that said "Start Leaking Ink". being curious as usual, I clicked it, and found something that allows me to draw right on my document. I didn't keep notes about it, now, I have spent hours to find it, with no luck. Can anybody tell me where to look for it?

Microsoft Word - Stopped Working

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 11:21 AM PST

In the middle of Using Word 2007 to create a document, I received a message that said MS Word has stopped working... A LIE... It continued to work to remove all revisions to the work that I had completed.  No back-up document, just delete all changes that I made since opening the document.   I can't believe that it didn't create some kind of restore point.  The software deleted more than an hour's work !

Word program won't load keeps saying I am not connected to the internet when I am

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 09:22 AM PST

I purchased from Office Max - online - a Word program.  I have Windows 7.  There is no disk, only a "key".  No matter how many times I've attempted to install it, it won't load.  It keeps saying that I am not connected to the internet - when I am.  
Help - didn't have $70 to give away.  I only bought Word - not the entire office program.

Creating Footer causes Header "box" to become too large

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 09:08 AM PST

In Word 2002 (Office XP), if I paginate starting on page 1 it appears as 1/2" deep narrow Header box with page number in it.  BUT on same page 1, when I create a one-line footer, then on Page 2 the Header box becomes 4 inches deep.  It is empty except for the small page number at the top, but the text on that page WON'T start until below the 4-inch empty new box caused by the footer (and there's no way to make that 4-inch box less deep like it is on Page 1).  AND, all Word doc's (NEW files) I try to create now will NOT start text until below that 4-inch empty Header box created on the completely unrelated File I just described.  Is there any way I can fix this?  I can't afford the time or money to update my Word at this time, and I'm in the middle of editing a book and the deadline is looming.  Please help me if you can!!

CITATIONS and BIBLIOGRAPHIES

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 07:43 AM PST

Is there any way that I can add a Format Style to my Citations and Bibliography.

I do not mean Citation Style (APA, MLA etc.), but things like a different font, italics and so forth.

The citation (in particular) takes on the style of the text being cited and so does not stand out from it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Word 2003 (and any Office app) error on opening - Microsoft Office Word has stopped working

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 02:47 AM PST

Windows 8
Microsoft Word 2003

Recently, opening Word 2003 has become a problem. 

If I want to open the application directly, I get this error "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working".
However, if I click on a DOC file, Word opens and is usable.

I found these:
1. The problem appears if Word is opened with the task pane on. If I cancel that from Options, Word will open. 
2. If Word is open (without the task pane) and I attempt to click on Shared Workspace, it will provide the same error.
3. The same behaviour is shown by Excel.

That led me to think:
1. It is a problem throughout the Office Suite, not only related to Word.
2. It might have to do with the network connection or with Word's relation with the Internet Explorer.

I repaired both Word and IE (the latter even reset, uninstalled and reinstalled), but the problem remains.

What can I do to nail it?

How do I select an image in Word 2007?

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 11:17 PM PST

I wish to insert an image in a w07 document, write a caption for it, and encapsulate both in a frame.
I use Ribbon --> Insert --> Picture to place the image in the document and right-click on what I can see of it.
I select Format Picture --> Layout --> In-line with text.
All I get to see of the image is a strip the height of one Normal paragraph, and I cannot select it.  The Blue background goes straight from the paragraph below the image to the paragraph above the image.  No blued image.  Consequently, I cannot wrap it in a frame.

What do I have wrong?

autotext and templates in win 8.1

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 10:57 PM PST

I've just bought a new computer with win 8.1 and first wasted ages trying to find out why it never reboots from restart and sometimes from cold (no help from MESH computer technical support), but then found it was a known problem!

The next problem is how to get my autotext and templates from Word 2010 from my xp computer to my new win 8.1. I had templates in Templates (including normal.dot), and an autotext file in Word/Startup (this contains all my addresses), but if I simply copy them into the appropriate places in User etc\Microsoft/Roaming, Word says it can't open them, then asks if i want to save changes to normal,dot and says I can't save with the same name and doesn't give an option to do anything else except cancel save. In addition, I can't access these files I've installed or delete them, as it says I don't have permission. I found how to show Administrator, but still couldn't access them, so had to re-install a pre-Word installation backup, but now don't want to try again before I find out how to do this, as I've already wasted masses of time on it. Any ideas?

Just for interest (my main concern is the one above), presumably it uses a normal.dot, but where is it?

Removing word wrapping: Best approach? (For ereaders)

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 05:19 PM PST

I use an ereader a lot but formatting documents for it is often a challenge.  I have some reference documents, not available in typical ereader format, that I need to convert manually.  The originals were mobi and pdf.  So I just copied the text into a word processing program and am now trying to eliminate all the word wrapping breaks.  Otherwise, on the ereader, lines are segmented.  To do this manually will take an eternity.  So are there programs that do this?  Is there a term for this?  Sort of batch type formatting conversion of a document.  I think I may have just copied the text into Notepad with Word Wrap off and that seemed to work OK but then I lost some of the formatting (like italics).  


If you use an ereader you quickly realize that you want a fresh slate so to speak so you can choose font type, text weight/sharpness/etc, zero margins to use the maximum amount of screen space (always lacking in an ereader!) and a few other things.  The point is you want your document to be controllable as much as possible.  So you don't want any formatting from the past interfering with what you want to do.  Things like italics are important to preserve for most people but, at least for me, that's about it.  Otherwise its just the words that matter.  

Closure of document recovery causes Microsoft Word to stop respond

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 04:27 PM PST

Hi,

 

I am facing a problem with Microsoft Word 2013.

 

Every time I open Microsoft Word 2013, the document recovery appears with a list of documents. Whenever I try to close the document recovery, Microsoft Word becomes not responding. I don't get the chance to choose the options [Yes, I want to view these files later OR No, remove the files. I have saved the files I need.] as Microsoft Word just stop responding every time at this stage.

 

Please kindly advise!

I think who you don't understand what is the problemn.

Last draft the application flow:
1. The user open a Opportunity record and edit some data then he submit the
changes
2. The PostUpdate are fired.
3. I get the OrigObjectXML and calculeted some fields based on other
fields...
4. Into my PostUpdate I call the Update method of the CRMOpportunity class.
5. This call fire again the PostUpdate method and we are in a recursive
infinit loop!

Now you understand the PostCallout issue?

Security: Append To & Append

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 01:00 PM PDT

Are we sure we've got this right?

The definitions provided seem to run counter to the documentation.

Here is what the SDK (CRM Object Model | CoreSystems Management | Actions on Objects) says:

Append - Objects can be added to the object in question. For example, a note can be added to an opportunity if the caller has Append rights on the opportunity.

Append To - Append To is the opposite behavior from Append. In this case, the object in question can be appended to another object. For example, a note can be attached to an opportunity if the caller has Append To rights on the note. (Append To can also be thought of as "Attach").

To use Ilana's anaology: we would need Append on the wall and Attach (AppendTo) on the Post-It.

I guess the only way to know for sure is to test. I will try to do so later today and let you know what I find out.





"John O'Donnell" <com-nospam> wrote in message news:phx.gbl...
here is the definative word on APPEND and APPENDTO

What exactly do the Append and Append To privileges provide to the user above the Write privilege?

Resolution

Below is an example and some definitions that will provide information on these privileges.

Joe User needs to accomplish two things:

1. Joe needs to change the Mobile Phone Number for one contact, Syed Abbas.

2. Syed is the purchasing manager for Bike Universe. Joe also needs to associate Syed's contact record with the Bike Universe Account.

Write privileges should be granted to users that need the ability to add or change information to the record. Changing a Contact's (Syed's) Mobile Phone Number or City are examples of how Write privileges are used.

Append Privileges are used when the specific record needs to be associated with another record. If Joe User has Append Privileges on Contacts, he has the potential ability to associate or add a Contact Record (Syed) to an Account record (Bike Universe), for example.

Append To Privileges are used when the user needs to be able to append other records to a specific record. Joe User also needs the Append To privilege on Accounts in order to associate or add the Contact (Syed) to the Account (Bike Universe).

I think it might be the other way around.

To attach a note to a case, you'd need "AppendTo" on cases, "Append" on notes. (Or, as I always think of it, AppendTo on the wall, Append on the Post-It.)

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 12:15 PM PDT

The best exam prep is to attend an instructor led course as you will get the
complete training manuals. If not you need to contact a CRM partner to order
them for you. The exam does make extensive use of the material in the
manuals so these are your best resource in combination with experience on
the product itself.

Microsoft Office 2013 won't start

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 01:46 PM PST

I have both 2013 and 2010. I have used 2013 since I installed it and it worked perfectly. A few days ago, I tried opening a file and when it opened, it opened in Word 2010 instead of 2013. I tried opening Word 2013 manually but it wouldn't open. It didn't even give me an error message. It just wouldn't open up. When I try to boot it in safe mode, Word 2010 opens instead and I can't set Word 2013 as default program for anything. Its as if my computer thinks its not installed. This happens with all my Word 2013 applications. I tried repairing but it always says repair failed. What do I do. I am on Windows 7.

In MS Word 2010 how do you change the size of the mini translator window?

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 12:13 PM PST

I have recently discovered the translator program in MS Word 2010, including the mini translator: when, however, the mini translator window appears it does so as a small square about 1.5 inches across with no apparent way of enlarging it to show all the text. By contrast, in screenshots of the window in the various tutorials I have seen on-line the window is always quite wide and narrow by comparison: so why this difference? I know that sometimes a program will behave differently in different versions of an operating system and I am using Windows XP: could this be the reason for the difference? Or is there a setting somewhere that allows the window size to be changed? (I am using Office 2010 Pro Plus.)

If I may ask one other question relating to the translation program: when I tried to open the translation in the browser Word insisted on using my old version of Internet Explorer (v6) - which did not work for the translation - rather than my default browser Firefox (25.0.1): is there some way of making Word use Firefox or must I just do without that function (given I don't want IE8)?

I need help creating a text box

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 08:14 AM PST

Hey,

i have a problem with using text boxes (or maybe there is another tool to do what I need to do but I don't know it).

So, I have these forms for different contracts that need updating.

The form now looks like this:

"This is a contract made between __________, who represents company A and _________________, who represents company B."

 

The lines are made just by using underlined text and clicking space a lot. The problem is that no one knows for sure what to write on the lines except the person who wrote the form. I want to replace the lines with some kind of a text box that would say "Name and Surname" and when you would click on the box you would be able to write your name and surname in the box without erasing what was previously written.

 

Any ideas??

Opening Word DOC files.

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 06:58 AM PST

I've been creating Word DOC files on my computer (Windows Home Premium 7) for the last three years using the installed "Word Starter 2010" program. I also have lots of historic Word files from previous computers. Recently I have noticed that all the DOC files have changed to DOCX files (with the Word 2010 orange coloured icon) and I can't open them from the  "My Documents" folder. The older files open but appear as a string of numbers. They can all be accessed through the "Word Starter 2010" program but I would prefer not to do this. Can all these DOCX files be changed back to DOC?  

Microsoft Word document 98-2003 type contains XSS or something unacceptable to RTE copy and paste to CuteNews

Posted: 23 Nov 2013 06:36 AM PST

Hi

 

This is a difficult one. I have been using copy and paste from Word mainly 2003 to a CuteNews based content management system (CMS) since 2005 without any issues.  The issue is that the document which is similar to one that I published last month can be copied and pasted into the CuteNews 1.4.6 WSIWYG and Saved which should result in the article being published on a web site page. CuteNews shows the article in its editor and can re-open it ok. But the article does not appear on the web page.  There is no error message and Cutenews is still able to publish news. What seems to be happening is that there is something in the doc file that is rejected by the RTE which uses Javascript. I have checked the document for viruses and it is clean. Both documents are meant for the public to read so there is no problem with supplying both documents, last months and this months so someone can compare them.

 

The documents are parish council minutes for September (publishes ok) and October (cannot be published) Both documents contain some material in tables and and are no different in appearance they both print ok. CuteNews has not been altered in any way. The website, I have tried publishing on two sites operate with PHP 5 installed but as I mentioned earlier there has been no other problems. It really does seem that the doc file contains content that is rejected by CuteNews's news editor. I have used Word 2003 under Vista and Word 2007 under XP.

Why the enormous growth in file size from compatibility mode to Word 2013?

Posted: 22 Nov 2013 04:44 PM PST

This concerns a file that began PDF life at 5 MB. It has a lot of math, logic symbols and some diagrams, and the symbols weren't unicode in the originating wordprocessor. Acrobat exported the file to DOCX as 10 MB. Opened and saved in Compatibility Mode in Word 2013, the file remained at 10 MB. Converted to Word 2013 and saved, it became 82 MB.

I've gone through the process 3 times. What could account for the enormous size increase, especially when compared with the next test?

A second file was converted. It was a PDF that this time originated as a scan. As a DOCX export from Acrobat it was 5.6 MB. After being converted from Compatibility Mode in Word 2013, it grew to only 6.5 MB. Yet it too has considerable math.

P.S. Despite taking a long time to load, the first file scrolls fast through its 1100 pages.

Creating a Legal Brief with Styles (Word 2010)

Posted: 22 Nov 2013 03:18 PM PST

I am trying to create a legal brief with "points" (major arguments) and "subpoints" (minor arguments within major argument).  I can create the Points; the problem is getting the subpoints to automatically restart numbering after a new point.

I want the document to look something like this:

I.  This is major point 1 (Bolded and capitalized text)
   Discussion
   a.   Subpoint A
         Discussion about subpoint A
   b.  Subpoint B
         Discussion about subpoint B
   b.  Subpoint C
         Discussion about subpoint C
II.  This is major point 2 (Bolded and capitalized text)
   Discussion
   a.   Subpoint A (need to restart as Subpoint A under Point II)
         Discussion about subpoint A
   b.  Subpoint B
         Discussion about subpoint B

How do I force the numbering of the subpoints to automatically restart as "a"?  These points and subpoints get frequently moved around so its important to avoid a process requiring the end user to redo the numbering.

TIA

Office 2013 :Word and Excel crash when I start them

Posted: 22 Nov 2013 07:03 AM PST

I'm new to Windows 8 and everything that comes with it. But, I'm not new to Windows-previous versions and Office-previous versions.

 

My problem: when I start Word or Excel, it looks like it's going to be okay - giving me template options - but when I pick anything, it says "Word has stopped working and looking for a solution" HELP!! I need to make this a workable PC and I'm hitting a wall.
