MS Word 2013 and APA formatting- Header and Page Number

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 11:13 AM PST

One thing that should be simple, but I have found excessively difficult, is to write an APA (6th edition) style paper and to override the formats built into Word 2013.   In APA, there should be a {Running head: TITLE       page # } on the first page Header followed by {TITLE      page#} on the corresponding pages.  I have learned to choose "Different first page" to eliminate the words "Running head:",  but have had to research various forums and Help Tutorials to add a simple page number in conjunction with the title.  I have finally found the formula to adding page numbers, but from what I see from other Community members, this is not a problem that I alone have encountered. 


 It seems to that there should be an options when selecting a Header template, that there should be an option to include page number.  I hope that Microsoft will add this as an update. 


Until then, the (complicated) solution from Microsoft Help is this:

Create your Header

TAB your cursor to where you want a page number to be positioned

choose Insert tab

click  Quick Parts > Field > Field names > page > 1, 2, 3... > OK


If someone has found a shortcut to this procedure, I would be happy to hear of it.


Thank you.

Office 2007 How do I print a PDF file as 2/sided instead of 10 single pages using Win 8.1 I HATE WIN 8

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 11:12 AM PST

My Wn 7 Laptop crashed and I could not recover it yesterday.  I had to go out a and purchase a Win 8/8.1 laptop (I hate Win 8, cannot do what I used to with Win 7)  I need to print PDF's off the web. I open them and get the option to print BUT NO 2/sided option so I am printing 10 pages instead of 5.  I will be printing a lot of PDFs in the future and 1) hate to waste paper, 2) do not need 10 pages or more when I can have half that amount with my HP OJ Pro 8500 printer that prints duplex.  When the print options come up for the PDF file they do not show 2/sided like they do when I used to print them and got the normal print icon where I could change the defaults and then print the document.  Plus I now have to go out and purchase a Photo Editing package because my Paint Shop Pro does not work with Win 8 (The  Compatibly Mode is checked in properties to work as Win XP).  I only need the Paint Shop Pro  to do some cloning in a banner to get rid of other print, now I cannot do that.  Did I mention that I hate WIN 8/8.1.  I also need too change the picture from a PNG file to JPG file and the Windows Paint program was great for doing the file conversion.  NO Windows Paint in Win 8.  Did I say I hate WIN 8. 

I got the Office 2007 package free (download link and activation code) when I attended the Office 2007 Launch in Chicago years ago.  I do not need to upgrade 2007 as it does everything I need, except now I cannot print a PDF file 2/sides with Win 8 -- I hate Win 8.

Math Symbols display as squares in MS Word and Onenote 2013

Hey everyone,


As of recently, I cannot use the equation editor anymore because most of the symbols (except the most basic operators) will not display.


I have already re-installed Office Professional Plus 2013 and the Microsoft Mathematics Add-On, but it seems to be a problem with the font. As I really need it for my studies, I would appreciate your help!

one page printing as default

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 08:47 AM PST

I am running Word 10 on Windows 8.1.  The print default is to print both sides of the paper.  I want only single side printing.  I can change it one side printing under file print, but it reverts to two sided printing.  Is there any way of changing the default to one side printing?

VBA for subscripts

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 07:37 AM PST

Hello,

I must say I know nothing of VBA, so please explain things clearly so that I can understand. I need a code to transform to subscript certain text in a chemical formula:

A(2.3)B(3.1)C(1.7)

Being the numbers in parentheses the subscript. I have a table with dozens of these formulas, and automating it somehow would save a considerable amount of time.

I would require a code to format characters between parentheses (or whatever symbol I choose) and delete those parentheses so that they don't show in the end. I thought of using ^number^ and _number_ for super and subscript, so that I would have a more generic code. I get these formulas from an excel table where I could easily make them look like A_2.3_B_3.1_C_1.7 if needed.

I believe it should be relatively easy, but I would need someone to write the code for me.

Thank you.

Email Mail Merge Using Excel Spreadsheet

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 06:19 AM PST

I have been sending personalized emails for several years to names and email addresses contained in an Excel spreadsheet.  I recently upgraded to Windows 8 and Office 2013, and now I am not able to use the mail merge function in Word to send these emails.  Everything works fine until I hit the "Electronic Mail" button.  When I do that, I get a pop-up box in the top left corner stating "No matches found for (recipient email address).  I hit OK in this box and got an additional box for every intended recipient.  I checked and none of these emails was delivered.

!Syntax Error, << in Word field

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 03:57 AM PST

Hello,

I'm trying to perform a calculation in a Word merge document.  I have two fields in the calculation.  One is from an external data source which is pulled into the calculation at the point of merging, the other is manually input by the document user via an ASK field.

When I merge the document I get the results I want, but when I look at the document prior to merging, the field shows !Syntax Error, « which doesn't look too professional.

This is the calculation

{ ={ REF DIVI \* MERGEFORMAT }/100*{ MERGEFIELD PREF \# ,0.00 }

{ MERGEFIELD PREF \# ,0.00 } is coming from the external data source, (a SQL database - don't know if that would make any difference?).

It only seems to happen when I have to use an external data source.  If possible I'd like the user to see 0.00 on the face of the document prior to it being merged instead of !Syntax Error, « which is what they're currently getting.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Office 2013 Crashing Whilst Connected via VPN

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 01:05 AM PST

Hi, I have several users using Office 2013 on Win7 laptops. When connected to the network whilst in the office they have no issues work with the office suite. However when they are connected to VPN all programs within the office suite will crash after a minute or so of being open. The error is similar to the one below for all products.

 

They work in office Safe Mode

 

I have seen a few options to try to resolve this:

Reinstall of office - No Luck

Someone said it might be a print driver issue change to use xps as the default printer - No Luck

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to re-create the structure/functionality of a customized menu from Word 2000 in Word 2010

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:50 PM PST

My office is migrating from Word 2000 to Word 2010 (2013/365 is not an option - our tech folks don't support them).

I'm a legal secretary, and I've built up a rather large collection of various merge documents (60+ at last count) that I use constantly to file things with the local court.

In Word 2000, I have these all accessible from a single menu button in a customized toolbar: it opens a menu with individual items and sub-menus of other items grouped by relevance (orders/objections/withdrawals/letters, etc) into the sub-menus.

I *think* I've got a pretty good idea of how to replicate the *rest* of my custom toolbar into 2010's quick-access (I think that's what it's called?) toolbar, but I haven't yet found anything to point me to how I can re-create the document menu system itself.

Each item in the menu is basically a hyperlink to the relevant document.

Since I often have to add/remove/change documents as the relevant laws and Court rules change, this is a VERY dynamic, easy-to-use, and handy system that has to be easy to change as needed, i.e., it can't be a static creation that I'd have to re-build from scratch every time there's a change to a menu item.

The structure (very simplified) is like this:

My Docs [menu button that accesses everything]
     title of sub-menu1  -->  opens sub-menu1 items
     title of sub-menu2  -->  opens sub-menu2 items
     various links to constantly-used items I don't want in a sub-menu
and so forth.

Each sub-menu cascades off of the higher-level menu.

This is the heart and soul of 15 years worth of work (most all of it in Word 2000) that allows me to be incredibly fast and efficient in getting literally hundreds of documents processed and filed with Court each week.

Unfortunately, The Powers That Be don't see the wisdom in simply doing the smart thing and going with a 3rd-party app that restores the menu/toolbar functionality that was killed off in Office 2007 (they're about as technically-minded as a piece of moldy toast).

Fortunately, the migration isn't set to happen until March or April.  That being said, my machine is coming in a couple of weeks, so I'll have time to play around with 2010 to see if I can get everything in working order ("he said optimistically").  I'm just thankful that 2010 has more user-customization than 2007, though I've read a number of highly disparaging commentaries about the 2010 hype being greater than the reality!

For what it's worth, I've got a similar situation with Excel (2000 --> 2010), but that's a LOT less stuff to worry about:  only a handful of macros and a MUCH smaller menu to re-create.

I'd appreciate any advice/assistance you folks can provide.  I'd even tape a chicken bone or rabbit's foot to the new machine if it'd help - this is looking rather daunting!

Thanks!!

I think I SOLVED Word 365 relentlessly opening some but not all .doc files in [read-only] mode.

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 06:12 PM PST

We had upgraded our home desktop with good old XP to Windows 7, and from Office 2003 to 365; life should be great now right?
I copied all our old files and directories from our external hard drive with the automated back-up into the new computer. 
The fancy new computer now ran great for me but my wife said her Word files only opened in [read-only] mode.
Searched Microsoft Community, searched Google....
Ok, make the changes in the Trust Center...still a problem...yes, added locations of files to trust including my wife's files, including check the subfolders box. 
ensure the Windows Explorer does not open in preview...still a having the problem...
check file properties to ensure that read-only check-box is not checked....STILL having the problem, but why only my files...?
Hmm...
My files are in the "owner" user folder, (not the administrator folder, I think our computer named me as owner or something).
My wife's files I put into a folder with her name as a SEPARATE USER, maybe that is a clue....
So I copied my wife's files into my user, i.e., the "owner" folder, now EUREKA!! they now open without the maddening [read-only] designation. 
And I didn't have to rename any files. Whew...
I'll just redo the desktop shortcut for my wife's files, now all is well!

Word 2010/Excel mail merge

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 05:12 PM PST

I am setting up a mail merge that stores a single record in an Excel file and uses it as the data source for various merged documents in Word.  it's working a charm except for the thorny date issue.  I have searched and searched (the internet explodes when you search on this), tried many, many different ways of doing it, but I still have the same issues.

I am in Australia, and so want my dates to display as dd MMMM yyyy, ie 21 November 2012.  On occasion, in some documents, I need them to display dd/MM/yyyy

My excel date (stored as a date field) displays correctly. The problem is when I bring it across to Word, it messes the dates around.  If the day is 12 or less, it will switch the day and month, putting it into US date format.  If the date is 13 or more, it keeps Australian date format. 

The original date is entered in via an Excel form and stored in an underlying worksheet which is where the merge data comes from.  I also have a field where the date is converted to a text string, so that I can extract individual digits of the date for merging into forms where there is one digit per box.  There is no problem with this.

The problem is when I want to use the entire date in my letter.  I have tried merging the original date as entered, and also the text string.  I have the date used in several places in the same document, but the fieldcodes look like this:  { MERGEFIELD DOB \@ "dd MMMM yyyy"}.  It twists the dates into US Date format (ie Barack Obama isn't born on 4 August 1961 in my merge; he's born on 8 April 1961).

My excel spreadsheet is now littered with various versions of the same date:

DOB - Date field formatted dd/MM/yyyy - this gives serial dates or US dates regardless of the formatting in the Word document
DOBText - A text string extracted from the DOB which gives a text string of ddMMyyyy
DOBAbsolute - The above text string but with \ in it to give a text string of dd\MM\yyyy - this gives perfect results if I want that format, but if I want dd MMMM yyyy, Word recognises it as a date and converts it to American date.

I'm now wondering if making yet another version of the same date in the Excel sheet would work, ie if there is a way of converting a date into a text string that displays 4 August 2013.  If it's a text field, surely, SURELY Word won't mess with that? Or will it?

I am setting up this for several users.  Using macros isn't an option, nor is anything that would require users to make changes to their computers.  Any fix has to be within the Excel doc and the Word doc. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.  So far I've spent days on this, and as soon as I think it's fixed, something shows me that it isn't.  This is driving me to drink. :(

Thank you in advance.

Styles not updated to match Themes when customised

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 05:08 PM PST

So I need to create some custom styles to adhere to my companies formatting requirements however, still give external users the ability to change the look and feel of these documents.

I was hoping to accomplish this by customising the inbuilt styles to my companies formatting (i.e. changing the font type, size and colour, etc) and then letting external users change the look and feel using the default office themes.

The issue i experience is when changing say Heading 1 by selecting Modify on theme to use a custom colour (i.e. R:20,G:40, B:110) this prevents the style from changing when selecting a different theme. It is however fine where another font colour is chosen that isn't custom. The same exists where i'm wishing for the default font to be Arial 9 Over Cambria 14.

Hope it's something simple that i'm missing and someone can help.

Thanks.

Try this :

Works 4.5a Database: Calculate median price

Dave, it will be several thousand records grouped by LOTS of different
schools and the data will change from time-to-time, which is why it would be
great to automate it. I use OpenOffice for my spreadsheet, and it has a
built-in median function, but grouping and reporting seems to be better
suited to a database.

FYI, I created an experimental report in the Works database and used the
built-in functions "minimum," "maximum," and "average" calculations on
groups as well as on the entire data set. It was wonderfully simple to set
up and administer. In fact, the sample report I created for the test does
EVERYTHING I need to do for the real data, except it lacks the median
calculation.

BTW, there is a work-around in the Works spreadsheet for calculating the
median, and it involves the "count" and "index" functions. Works DB doesn't
have the "index" function, so I may just be out of luck.

But so far, no one has come out and said, "It's not possible to do the
median in the Works Database," so I'm still holding out for hope.

Microsoft Works issue

Posted: 20 Sep 2006 08:13 AM PDT

Thanks for the feed back.

For what ever reason the uninstall does not remove all of Works and during
reinstall it apparently uses those files instead of replacing them from the
CD

If deleting the folder didn't work then I would have suggested using cleanup
utilities to completely remove all remnants of Works.

Form letter for more than one record?

Posted: 18 Sep 2006 10:03 AM PDT

So if I understand correctly, Jon, you're trying to position fields in a
report so that they don't all print on a single line.

The trick to doing this is to first create the report containing the
fields that you want, then modify the report. Reports are created with only
1 row per record. Insert additional rows, selecting "Record" as the type,
until you have as many rows as you need for the pre-printed form that you're
trying to match. All of the blocks of the Record type will print together
for a given record, so by positioning the rows and columns of the report
where you need them, you can pretty well control exactly where the text will
be printed. Formatting in the report works much like formatting in the
spreadsheet, with options for font, alignment, borders, shading, etc. The
results you get will only be as good as the paper handling of the printer
you're using (the best results I've ever seen were from dot-matrix printers
with continuous tractor-fed paper).

You can force one record per page by inserting a page break (under the
Format menu, oddly enough), or if you need to fill out forms with multiple
records per page, you can simply insert a large "Record" row at the end of
your data block, then adjust its size until the overall record height gives
you the correct vertical alignment.

Your other option is to use the mail merge feature from the word
processor, but you'd probably have to insert your fields into text boxes and
use the text boxes to control exactly where on the page the text gets
printed. This creates some extra work, but allows you a little more
flexibility if you can't get the database report to print correctly.

Microsoft Word - Embedded Excel file as read only

Microsoft Word - Embedded Excel file as read only

Embedded Excel file as read only

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:30 PM PST

I want to embed an Excel workbook as an object into a Word doc as a read only file. This is so a viewer of the Word doc can use the embedded Excel file as a template by first saving it under another file name. I need to prevent the user from making changes to the original embedded template. Protecting the worksheet or workbook a with password prevents changes to the embedded file but when the file is saved under a different name the protect attribute carries foward making the copy unusable without the password.

 

Also enabling the "read only" attribute before embedding the Excel file into the Word doc doesn't work either.

 

Is there another way to accomplish this?

How can I lock custom toolbars in MS Word 2003, or can I?

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 12:41 PM PST

Just what the title says.  I get them set up just the way I want them, where I want them, exit the program when I've done whatever I need to do and when I come back to the program (reopen it) they're all moved around and some buttons are gone!!!  This is most annoying.  Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi there,

I have created my worksheet data sheet in Excel. I have followed the steps to create mailing labels, and have gotten as far as Preview Results. It won't let me click that button, so I can't check the labels to make sure they are correct. Then...I have tried to finish the merge and print...and I just get a blank sheet out of my printer. 

Can anyone help???

Copy 1 page several times in a document

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 11:30 AM PST

Dear experts,
on a single page document I am having issues in the code copying the page in question a number of times: the page is made of lots of different elements - shapes, text, table.

Sometimes everything gets pasted correctly in the following newly created page except a shape, which is just copied on top of itself on the initial page; or I have some formatting issues. This happens even when I try to copy/paste by hand. (the VBA code I have been using is below)

Is there an efficient and especially reliable way through VBA to duplicate the same single page a given number of times in the same word document? My single page doc is a label so depending on the product I will have different formatting (more/mess shapes, bigger or smaller tables, etc).


Many thanks in advance for your VERY precious help!!!
Kind regards
Valeria


Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Copy

 

and then to paste

 

   Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
    Selection.InsertNewPage
   Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
    Selection.TypeBackspace

MS Office 2013 APPCRASH

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:46 AM PST

I've been searching solutions for this problem for weeks and been reverting to MsOffice 2007 and back to 2013 to try those fixes for 3-4 times
Like removing COM Add-Ins, disabling macros from trust center, safe mode suffs, etc

The APPCRASH happens when i opened a file, and then trying to edit/write, the typing cursor is gone and winword goes hang, but, when i right clicked, the cascade menu still comes up, and i can still resize the window, but when i do, the ms word window will turn black and i can do nothing, right clicking cascade menu can still be showed up.

In desperation and confusion i closed the Miscrosoft Word, and the APPCRASH dialog box shows up. says :

Error "Please Wait While Windows Configures Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" every time I Microsoft Office 2007 program - AFTER NEW INSTALL

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:46 AM PST

HP i5 8 GB RAM running 64 bit Win 7 SP1, local computer store installed Office shortly after purchase in January 2013.  No problems at all until 11-25-13.  When trying to open existing word or excel documents, get and error box "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007".  If you let it run its course, if never finishes.  If you open word or excel (I do not get this problem with Publisher) from the start menu or go to all programs and open it, I always get this error.  If I go the application file itself it opens, after a longer than normal wait and sometimes a "Not Responding" message on the top of the screen.  From there I can open existing documents but this is long and cumbersome and there has to be a fix.
Looked for some answers online but everything seems to be from 2011 for a problems like this. 
Called local computer store, they were not aware of any recent problems; Took to local computer store (who did original install) and had them remove and reinstall, problem still occurs (but didn't seem like it happened until after 28 office updates were applied) 
Have 5 very similar machines, this is the only computer with the problem. 
Have Security Essentials, Mal-ware bytes and Advanced system care which are run regularly. 
How can we fix this problem? 

Problem with Word 2010

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 07:18 AM PST

I have Office 2010 Professional software and have noticed a problem with Word which started a couple of months ago.  Whenever I open Word after a few seconds the arrow mouse pointer turns to a blue buffering circle and Word almost freezes.  I can still type but each letter takes about 10 seconds to appear rendering the software almost unusable. I haven't noticed the problem with other facets of the Office suite such as Excel or PowerPoint. I have tried uninstalling and re installing the software from the original disc but to no avail.  I have also tried using Word in safe mode but with no success.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so is there a solution you can share.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Mail Merge

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 05:49 AM PST

Hi,

 

I am trying to do a mail merge with an excel document. The aim of the document is to display each students grades for particular subjects that they have done.

I have managed to do the basic merge of data, however most of the students haven't completed the 18 subjects on the excel document and so there are blanks next to these subjects.

 

This is what it currently looks like:

 

Before Merge 

Art   <<ART>>

Drama <<Drama>>

 

After Merge

Art       A grade

Drama 

 

Is there a way I can remove the whole row, if the field is blank on excel?

 

Many thanks,

Katie

OMML equation editor has issues with some operators when displayed in inline mode

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:58 AM PST

OMML equation editor in MS Word 2013 has issues with some operators when they are displayed in inline mode. The issues are also present in Word 2010 - see this thread, and probably also in Word 2007.

For example, the following formula contains the summation operator with lower and upper limit.  In display mode the limits are displayed below and above the operator:

But when the same equation is in inline mode, for example as part of a fraction operator, the lower and upper limits are displayed as indices of the operator, which looks ugly:

The same happens with other "large" operators (product, co-product, union, intersection) and integral operators.

Currently it seems that the only workaround is to use Microsoft Equation 3.0 for entering formulas (Insert -> Object -> Object -> Microsoft Equation 3.0):


BTW, the OMML equations saved in a DOCX file look fine when opened in LibreOffice Writer 4.1, and you can edit them:

(On the other hand, it seems LibreOffice has issues with formulas written in Microsoft Equation 3.0.)

I wonder why Microsoft developers have not fixed this issue in OMML equation editor in two Office versions since Office 2007 which introduced the new editor?

Office 365 Text Box

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:15 AM PST

Hi,

I have scanned my company letterhead and word has converted it to a word document.  I created a text box type in what is required, save it to my documents and then e-mail it to my clients.

My clients have now emailed me back to say the letterhead had no content it was blank, so obviously my text box somehow disappeared.  I have e-mailed it to myself and to my colleagues and everything is fine so I don't understand why my clients cannot see the text.  Can anyone please help?

Thanks

setting up text direction for text in both English and in an Asian language

Hello,

Please note the image below with regards to changing the text direction of text in a document in Microsoft Word 2010:


It looks as if I should be able to select the option as shown in the orange oval, but unfortunately, I'm stuck between using the top-most option right above the ovalled option, the bottom-most option right below the ovalled option, and the currently selected option to the left of the ovalled option.  How would I be able to set up the document so that I can choose the ovalled option?

Thank you.

OOBE.DOCUMENT suddenly?

Posted: 26 Nov 2013 04:09 PM PST

All of a sudden all of my Office Documents are now OOBE.DOCUMENT files. When I rightclick on a file, there is no Open With, but there is Open. So I click on open, and it says that it doesn't recognise .doc files. When I click on Browse for a Program to Open(not verbatim, but this is the point it was trying to get across), Word is not on the list. So I click on Browse, and it's not anywhere obvious. I check the file location of my shortcut that I use, and it's C:/Program Files (86x)/Common Files/microsoft shared/Virtualization Handler/ . The file is CVH.exe. I add it to the list, and try to use the program, but nothing happens. I am using Microsoft Word 2010 Starter. When I tried ot set default from the Control Panel function, Word Starter is once again not on the list. Help?
