Microsoft Word - continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers

Microsoft Word - continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers


continuous section breaks, page numbers and headers/footers

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 03:19 PM PST

I have a document with several chapters, each chapter starting with Header 1. I have used STYLEREF fields in the headers to pick up the chapter numbers and names, and set the page number format to include chapter numbers. The page numbers run continuously, as you would expect – so I have page 1-1 to 1-7, then the next page, where Chapter 2 starts in the middle of the page, is 2-8, and so on. So far so good.
I was asked to start each chapter on page 1, so that after 1-7, the next page (where chapter 2 starts in the middle of the page) would be 2-1. So I inserted continuous section breaks, and told the page number to restart at 1. But now, after page 1-7, the next page is 2-8, followed by 2-2! Also, the STYLEREF fields in the header stopped working when there is a section break in the middle of the page - they just showed nothing. So I put in hard text in the header (since I had section breaks, I could have new text in each section), but when there is a continuous section break, the header seems governed by what is ABOVE the continuous section break, rather than what is BELOW it.
On the page where Chapter 2 starts, I would like the header to give the name/number of Chapter 2, and the footer to read 2-1.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Page Numbering Link to Next Page Numbering (.../2)

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 01:54 PM PST

Help!

 

Trying to number pages and sync the page numbering with the "next page" numbering.

 

First page numbering should start at -2-, first page should have the "next page" numbering as so: ".../2"

 

Last page should have a page number though the "next page" numbering should end at the second to last sheet.

 

Merci (hope this isn't too confusing lol)

MS Word 2007

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 01:02 PM PST

We are copying and pasting between MS Word 2007 documents and using track changes.

 

when we copy a table from one document to another document and then accept the change to the document - Word automatically changes the orientation of the target page from landscape to portrait.

 

why does it do this and how do we make it stop?

 

thank you for any help/ideas.

avoid gray background when printing comments

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:49 PM PST

I'm reviewing a document, that has various changes (using Track Changes) and a number of comments. When I print it out, there's a large section at the right of the page which has a gray background, where the comments go. 

But there are very few comments in this document, so this  this gray section is almost entirely wasted space. Also, the rest of the text is made smaller in order to fit the gray section, which makes it harder to read.

Is there any way to print the document without that gray background section? I'd prefer to have either:
(1) the background in that section would be white, or
(2) that gray section wouldn't appear at all, and the rest of the text would appear full size. (The comments would probably have to appear at the bottom of the page.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

VBA code to resize linked inlineshape objects

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:46 PM PST

I have over 100 linked pictures in a Word 2007 document (Windows 7). Most of the pictures are screen shots stored as bit maps. They are accessible in VBA as inlineshape objects.

 

Sometimes when I edit one of the linked bitmaps, Word resizes the image in the document. Its assigned height and width seem randomly chosen. In another question I asked if there were Word options to avoid this behavior. In case there aren't (but I still hope there are) such options, I looked for a way to store my preferred sizes for each picture. I considered several approaches:

 

  1. Find a settable property of an inlineshape object which I could set to the dimensions, and that Word would not overwrite. Alas, I couldn't find one.
  2. Define a document variable that I could relate to a unique, auto-generated identifier of an inlineshape and store the dimensions in the variable. Alas, there does not seem to be an ID for inlineshape objects.
  3. Add a comment to each inlineshape object that contains the dimensions. This is my current preferred choice. I can create a comment, but I can't find it later. The rest of my question deals with this code, but if there are better ways to maintain a set of preferred dimensions for each inlineshape object, I will scrap this code in a heartbeat!

 

The following subroutine expects that a paragraph containing one or more inlineshapes objects has been selected.

If the dimensions are stored as a comment, the code would verify/reset the dimensions to match those in the comment.

If the dimensions comment cannot be found and the width is not approximately 4.9 inches, the code would ask me if the dimensions are right and add a comment if they are. (I haven't decided exactly what I want to do if they are not right, so, for now, I just exit from the subroutine.)

 

The problem is, after adding a comment to the inlineshape, the program does not find it. I suspect that the "If s.Range.Comments.Count > 0" test is not testing the right property. The Count property has a value of 0, even though the document appears to be displaying a comment. Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

  Set para = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
  GraphicSizeFound = False
  For Each s In para.InlineShapes
    If s.Range.Comments.Count > 0 Then

        If Left(c.Text, 12) = "graphic_size" Then
          GraphicSizeFound = True

Why can't I type across a complete line in my document?

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:10 PM PST

I have converted a pdf to Word 2010 document and am trying to make corrections. There are section titles, such as "Executive Director". In the pdf, the two words appear on the same line. In the Word document, they appear on two lines. When I try to retype them to the one line, the program will not allow it. It seems as if there is a margin at the end of "Executive". Looking at hidden markings, I see there is a paragraph marking after "Director" and wonder if this has anything to do with it. There are several titles lines within the document, so I need a solution to continue my project. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to type both words on the same line?

Page Positioning Behavior Word 2013

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 11:52 AM PST

I use Word documents to analyze stock market charts. The charts are pasted on separate pages, and in order to compare charts I have used a characteristic of Word to be able to align charts for comparison to one another. I have a macro that zooms a page out to 25% and then zooms back to 100%. In Word 2003 and earlier, this would result in the top of the page being aligned to the top of the pane always with the same relationship. Then the macro would scroll the page down a certain number of lines to have the chart exactly where I wanted it in the window.

I just switched to Office 2013, and I have found that zooming out and back in does not change the position of the top of the document page. The top is in the same vertical position it was in before I used the macro. Is there a way to get the previous behavior back?

Display only checked items in a Word document list, hide unchecked before printing

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 11:08 AM PST

I'm developing a Word document which is designed to allow the user to check work items in the contract template and leaved items unchecked if these work items are not included.

Once the user has gone through all sections and checked the scope of work items, I'm attempting to automate the print function to hide all of the unchecked items (by applying a style which has the hidden font attribute) and then proceed with printing.

I'm using the ActiveX style of checkboxes. I'm attempting to do a For Each looping statement to accomplish this task, but I'm not clear on how to structure it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Word 2010 doc not generating an envelope

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:49 AM PST

A client sent me a document which appears to be the result of a mail merge for a letter to 48 recipients. She wants to select the first address (page 1) and click on the "Create Envelopes" button to get an envelope added. It will not work in the document. All that appears is the Envelopes Options dialog, but no options to add it to the document or anything else.  HOWEVER, when I copy and paste the same address as unformatted text into a blank document and repeat the steps, the dialog opens and the envelope generates as expected. Is this due to the main document being the result of a merge? It is a .DOCX, it appears to only be a year old (according to the properties it was generated in 12/2012)

Thank you in advance for any insight.

Check box content control button wizard!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 09:27 AM PST

I used Developer to make a user form in Word 2010 and I want to add a Check Box Content Control Button/s that when clicked by the user, he'll be directed to the designated page or pages within the document, and print/save only those page or pages to a new file.  Here is what I want to happen:

Clicking the Check Box Control Button/s will:

  • Bring the user to the designated page/s or section/s and fill-in the form.
  • Save the filled-in page/s to a new filename and to a pre-specified file-sharing location.
  • Print only the first page and the filled-in page/s or section/s.

I am not a programmer and I do not know if this is possible!  Thank you so much for taking the challenge.

 

cropped picture in template --> "uncropped" on creating new document

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:56 AM PST

Hi all

I inserted a logo into a letter template and cropped it top/bottom. When I and most of my co-workers open up a new document based on this template, all seems well. For some users, though, the logo looks uncropped (not aligned any more with the text).

Is this a known bug/oddity? (I haven't found anything suggesting this ...)

Or is there some obscure compatibility or view option to force a picture to display everything?

The obvious workaround would be to crop the picture before inserting into Word, and I agree that this would be cleaner anyway, but still I'm curious if anybody has seen this behaviour as well ...

MS Word 2003 - Lost pictures from template margin

Any response re a solution would be more than welcome. Thanks.


Font name and size box becoming blank for large footnotes in MS Word

The font name and size box become blank when I select the entire footnote

having a large footnote, say about 400 word counts, in a document with total

1200 word count. Does it means that the font name and size are not consistent

in footnote? Anyone knows what's the issue here.

Insert para mark using Range.Find

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 05:55 AM PST

Suppose initially the entire text of a single paragraph is selected...

    Set rng = Selection.range

    if rng.Find.Execute then
        ...
    end if

At this point (before "foobar") I want to simply insert a paragraph mark.  I know how to do this with regular Selection.Find, but it is not clear what is set by the Range.Find.Execute.

I am trying to understand and benefit from the wondrous wizardry of Ranges, but am having some difficulties, and would I appreciate any advice.

Document no longer showing correct number of pages

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 03:58 AM PST

I have a document that is around 15 pages long however the Page Count at the bottom right only shows there being 6 pages.  When in print layout mode I can see up to page 6 however if I try to scroll further down there is a suttering/repeating pattern of the top of a blank page.  If I use select all I can copy and paste the text into a new doument.  If I switch to Web Layout I can continue to scroll down and see the rest of my document.

 

When attempting to print only 6 pages are listed.

How do I remove/change the Miriam Webster's dictionary that I poorly choose, to the Encarta or a better dictionary,

I'm a new Windows 8/now 8.1 User. I'm also of course, new to the brand new Office program.

Fast Forward...the online Miriam Webster's dictionary is lacking in my need.

What fonts do i need to keep?

Posted: 02 Aug 2009 07:57 AM PDT

The complete list of what's supplied with Office 2008 is located here:

Those supplied with OS X 10.4 (Panther) are listed here:

However, even though you don't actually use some of them I'd suggest that
you leave them installed - Office as well as OS X - although the OS X

Buggy Office 2008 SP2

Posted: 28 Jul 2009 11:19 AM PDT

I found this page on the Help and How-To section:

I can't open an Office document after I install Office 2008 SP2 Update

<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx?MODE=pv&CTT=PageView&clr=99-0-0&target=abce2ca1-4efe-4bb0-bd21-34ad9242779d1033>

This states this is a known issue with SP2. Here are workarounds:

1. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update or an earlier version.

2. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Office 2004 for Mac with Open XML Converter.

3. Convert your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt, by using Open XML Converter.

4. Save your Word or Excel documents by using 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows.

5. Save your document to .doc, .xls, or .ppt format by using Microsoft Office 2003 or an earlier version with Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.

6. Use the Apple Time Machine to roll back to Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update or an earlier version.

7. Remove Office manually, reinstall Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac from the original installation media, and then upgrade to Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.9 Update. Do not upgrade to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2 (12.2.0) from Microsoft AutoUpdate.

I chose to do Option 6. I am back at pre-SP2, and I can open my documents again.

This buggy service pack should be pulled from Microsoft immediately until these issues can be addressed.

Field validation and formatting

Posted: 21 Aug 2004 04:49 PM PDT

Paul,

There are some unsupported ways of adding events to other fields. it involves
exporting the customizations, then editing the resulting XML. You need to find
an example of how the OnChange is tied to a picklist and then replicate these
nodes on the field in question.

A few warnings though:

- Make sure to keep a backup of the original customization file. This way you
can always put it back the way it was.

- Make sure you are careful with the node names, etc.

We have looked at it for our time billing and there is a nice section
there for service contracts, and then you apply work performed to service
contract and it breaks it down. It keeps a nice history under the Account
/ Contracts area with a breakdown of all the work but it does not tie
into anything for billing. It works well for in house support and things
of that nature but probably isnt going to work for field service since
the Service piece doesnt have a Synch option (SFO = SALES for Outlook not
Service! heh).

I just had this one. I briefly saw an error about SSPI so I tried running
this at a command prompt:

osql -E -Scrmservername

And I got back

Cannot generate SSPI context

I ran windows\system32\cliconfg.exe and set up the alias to the SQL server
as Named Pipes instead of TCP/IP. Now the OSQL command works and logs in
(-E tells it to use Windows authentication). Went into Outlook - go
offline, works away (a bit slower though).

What's the cause - my DNS is not working correctly. Probably because I am
running against a virtual server. Anyway, check your DNS - might be the
problem.

You need to publish from Deployment manager on the CRM Server and then issue an

GP 8.0 and MS CRM

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 11:09 PM PDT

It all depends. What are you trying to accomplish? If you truly need CRM and
you need it to integrate with GP, then you either need to wait until MS supports
this (which last I heard won't be until CRM 2005) or you need to pursue another
integration solution like George mentioned.

Aside from that, as for whether to update GP is purely a business decision on
your end. The UI improvements are great and it seems fairly stable.

Custom fields showing as Number type in Crystal but Picklist in CRM

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 12:03 PM PDT

one of the gotchas of crystal!

lets say you have a field called CFPjohnsfield. This value is a picklist.
When you click insert field you will see this field listed but you will also
see a field with the same name except it will also have the word name added
to the end like this CFPjohnsfieldname. This of course will contain the
actual string rather than just a number

CRM Deployment Manager error

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 07:11 AM PDT

The CRM HOmepage won't ask for a login as it uses integrated security. So it
should inherit the current domain login of the user.

Typically, the anonymous login problem is related to the security of the
services that CRM & SQL are running under. What are those services configured
to use? (ie. Local System vs domain account).

No, the PostUrl does just that, it Posts the data in the form object.

How are that values being "displayed"? Since the page is invoked from the

form display won't work.

Mail Merge from Word 2010- Outlook 2010

I am doing a mail merge from Excel to Outlook.

As there are quote marks it is not recognising it as a valid address. Wondering what could be causing this.

How can I insert a contact's address in an envelope?

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:30 PM PST

I have--with help here--figured out how to insert a contact's name and address into a typical Word document using AddressLayout/Quick Parts.  It seems to work fine whenever I click on the Insert Address button, inserting the contact's name, company and address, in, say, a letter.  And if I click on Mailing, Envelopes the same information pops up in the window for addressing the envelope.  However, if I am not creating a letter in Word but simply creating an envelope using Mailings, Envelopes the Insert Address button pulls up a simplified version of what I have set up in AddressLayout--the person's name and address only.  Is there a way to get the same information as I have set up in the AddressLayout Quick Part?

Word Converting by Self

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 12:14 PM PST

We have Office 2013 on Windows 7.  With no rhyme or reason, my documents that I have created and saved in (for example) Word 2013 will change to Word 2007 document.  When I try to open the file, it will open in a jiberous title eg. "WD000013 [Read Only] [Compatibility Mode]".  I found a fix for this once and thought it was rectified, but it's doing it again now and of course I can't find the fix again.  Yes, in save options, I have it set to save in .docx format.  So that is not the fix.  When I check the properties of the file that was originally saved as Word 2013, it has changed itself to say Opens With: Microsoft Open XML Converter.  When I go to change, it recommends "Microsoft Office 2013 Component", "Word (Desktop)", "WordPad" or "Microsoft Works Word Processor".  Any suggestions?

Word resizes a linked inlineshape when the link is edited

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 10:24 AM PST

I have over 100 linked pictures in a Word 2007 document (Windows 7). Most of the pictures are screen shots stored as bit maps. They are accessible in VBA as inlineshape objects.

 

Sometimes when I edit one of the linked bitmaps, Word resizes the image in the document. Its assigned height and width seem randomly chosen. So I have some questions:

 

1. It this a known problem (feature) in Word?

2. Are there specific instances when this happens? If so, maybe I can modify the document to avoid those cases.

3. Is there some way to force Word to use the per cent height and width or the specific height and width of the shape that I chose for the picture?

4. Are there some "best practices" for capturing screen images and including them in Word documents?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Word will not open

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 07:34 AM PST

I have MS Office 2000 Professional installed on my XP system computer and have been using it for years.  Recently, when I attempt to open Word, I get the sign-on screen and it will not open further.  Excel and PowerPoint work fine.

 

I have uninstalled and re-installed Office 2000 several times from the original CD with no change.  I have also run Detect and Repair from Excell with the shortcut change also and that does not work any better.  I have also tried other suggestions found on this site.

 

I know Office 2000 is old but it served me well and I am reluctant to purchase a new version.

 

Any ideas?

Hyperlink address with "#" in it fails now.

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 06:29 AM PST

Hi, I'm working on a Word document (Word 2010, Windows 7) at work, a large reference manual with many links going to various websites. In earlier versions, I could link to specific parts of a webpage with an address with "#" in it. For some reason now, it come up with an error message if the link is in any Word document.

 

For example, if I create a link to:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

 

It takes me to the top of the Wikipedia article on cats, no problem. But if I add a link directly to the part of the article on cat behavior and use this link:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Behavior

 

It should go directly to the "Behavior" heading in the body of the article. Instead I get an error message from Wikipedia..."Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name." It's not a problem with Wikipedia, it's the same with other websites. BTW if you cut and paste the link into the address area of Internet Explorer, the link works. It's only when linking from a Word (or Excel) doc that it fails.

 

One of our tech people noted that it appears Word is changing "#" to "-", so in the error message above, it shows the address as:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_-_Behavior

 

So it may be that Word isn't recognizing "#" for some reason, and is changing it to "-" for some reason(??)

Display of Hebrew Vowels in MS Word 2007 in Windows 8.1

I'm using WORD 2007 in Windows 8.1. After resolving the issue of writing hebrew vowels (Nikud) by changing the keyboard layout, I started adding vowels. 
However, the display of HOLAM HASER (חולם חסר) is messed up. Instead of appearing above the letter it appears besides it. 
The same document, when opened on another computer, is displayed correctly. 


Here's an example, where you can see the HOLAM HASAR appearing three times beside the letter ו instead of above it.

Is it possible to create/customize a toolbar in Word 2010, like in previous versions of Word

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:51 AM PST

Hi, to expand on the question title:

 

In previous versions of word, you clicked on View > Toolbars > Customize > New... and you would have a floating toolbar. I used this as part of my job and added lots of individual autotext snippets and had these grouped in categories for easy access.

 

Now, with Word 2010, I am struggling to replicate this. I understand the ribbon and the QAT and I have the autotext option within both of these. In the QAT clicking autotext shows a long list of autotext snippets but this means scrolling through them to find the correct one, with seemingly no way to group or sort these.

 

What I want to do is have a similar toolbar or a way to create a new tab on the ribbon with the ability to drop individual snippets of autotext into their for ease of access.

 

I hope someone can help and i appreciate any help you can give.

 

Thanks, Josh.

Customize Keyboard, assigning a shortcut key

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 10:43 PM PST

Apologies in advance for a long story.

 

I've created a macro that I want to assign to a particular key combination. I've done this literally thousands of times over the last 15 years, but i've never come across anything like the problem I've having here.

 

I have assigned the macro to a key combination: Ctrl+Alt+M.

 

As expected I am able to use that key combination to run the macro -- and then for no apparent reason it suddenly stops working.

 

The macro is still there, and can be run directly. And when I go into the Customize Keyboard dialog, I can see that Ctrl+Alt+M it is still assigned to the macro. But it doesn't run.

 

The first few times this has happened, I've Removed the assignment, then reassigned it. And I have somehow been able to get it to work for a time -- until it mysteriously stops again. Within the same Word session, it will work, and then stop.

 

This last time, as has happened before, when I went to do the usual Remove and re-Assign, I found that the box where I enter the key combo, is rejecting Ctrl+Alt+M. I type it, but it doesn't appear in the box. Nothing at all happens, it's as though I am not pressing any keys at all. I do not get an indication that it is already assigned -- but I can see that it IS already assigned. If I remove the assignment, then (as in the past) I may get lucky and find myself able to reassign it after opening and closing Word a few times, but it's very inconsistent.

 

On a hunch, I went to the desktop and tried to assign Ctrl+Alt+M to an application shortcut, through the shortcut's Properties dialog. When I type that key combo, the box automatically clears, indicating that it is already assigned. Yet I haven't assigned it to anything -- certainly not since I started being intermittently able to assign it to a Word macro.  (I am aware that desktop Shortcut shortcut keys take precedence over Word key combo assignments.) Yet when I type Ctrl+Alt+M outside of Word, even when directly on the desktop, nothing at all happens, i.e., it really doesn't seem to be assigned to anything.

 

Thinking it might be something wrong with my Normal.dotm template, I renamed and hid it form Word, forcing the creation of a new one. I then recorded a macro, but when I tried to assign it to Ctrl+Alt+M, the same thing happened.

 

I found a utility that will display all shortcut keys that are currently assigned to desktop shortcuts. When I run this, it correctly shows all of my shortcuts, and as expected, Ctrl+Alt+M is not one of them.

 

SOMETHING is intermittently inhibiting this one particular key combo from being assigned to either a Word command/macro or to desktop shortcuts, and when I am able to make an assignment, it eventually stops working.

 

I'm hoping that someone might detect a clue in this tale of woe as to what it might be.

 

Thank you.

Remove Header Sections

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 07:13 PM PST

I am working in a 93 page document, that I need to reformat and insert new information. Unfortunately in this 93 page document, it has about 50 different Header sections. I've gone through and deleted all of the headers since they will change as I make changes to the document, but all of the sections remain. How can I delete the sections? This applies to the footer as well. There are obviously just as many footer sections. Is there a way to do it all at one time?

What's happening is that I will want the same header on each page, but I have to at this point, go to each section and type it. What happens if my company wants a change made, I will have to do it 50 times. And then deal with the footers. :(

Please help.

 

Help with finding superscript numbers and replacing with footnotes

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 06:25 PM PST

Hello all,

I have some documents where the footnotes are just superscript numbers. I want to search for those superscript numbers and replace them with a real footnote. Using the macro recorder and some wildcards, I can find the superscript numbers, but I need to do something else to actually insert a footnote. Getting those bits of macro to play together, though, has been eluding me.

Currently I'm just having Word highlight the superscript numbers so I can visually see where I need to insert footnotes. Once I have real footnotes inserted, I run a find/replace to delete highlighted text. It's working okay, but I'd like something a bit less kluged/more idiot proof.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Paste a sparkline into Word

Help verifying Word 2010 / getting programs to recognise internet connection!!!

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 03:23 PM PST

Hi,

I recently rebooted my computer to restore it to factory settings. Following this I re-downloaded Microsoft Word 2010, using the product key from when I originally purchased a year back.

However, when trying to 'verify on the internet' as an option it keeps coming up with an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet, when clearly I am as I'm using this browser now. It's incredibly frustrating to be told I am not online when I'm 100% connected. 

How can I overcome this and allow my Microsoft programs to realise and accept the fact that I am actually connected? Windows Vista user.

I have been using Word for ever. Now when I open word I don't get a blank page. It's whole page is full of squares. The squares are also on every saved doc that I try to open. I cannot do anything on Word.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Alex
