Microsoft Word - Changes in Information to a Form using Macros

Microsoft Word - Changes in Information to a Form using Macros

Changes in Information to a Form using Macros

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 01:28 PM PST

Problem:  

We have a form that employees use to sign in and out each day they work.  Each form covers two weeks and the beginning and ending dates are located at the top of the form as well as the employee's name.  At the beginning of the year we print out all of the forms for the entire year for each employee.  As it is now, that means that I have to fill out the form, print it, change the information, print it, change the information, print it, etc. until I have every person's done.  It takes over an hour to complete one form set for an employee.  There's more than 100 people working in my facility and over 25 forms per person.  


Question:  

Is there any way to automate this process?  If possible, I would like to be able to have a predetermined list (that can be edited based on incoming and leaving employees), another list for the dates of each of the pay periods (editable based on changes from year to year), and then run a macro or some other process that will print out all of the forms with the names and dates filled out and ready for the new year.

'clear formatting' changes language

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 01:26 PM PST

I'm having problems with my MS Word switching from English UK to English US, and judging by the amount of posts all over the internet I don't think I'm alone

I've resigned to the fact that I cannot remove English US from MS word, so I've made a macro that at the click of a button selects the full document, changes it to English UK then deselects the text. Annoying, but it was the best solution I could find.

I have 'detect language automatically' unchecked
I have modified the new document template to be in English and not US English but this does not affect text copied off the internet (why I made the macro)

The problem I have now is when I apply 'clear formatting' to part of the text it changes the language of the highlighted text text back to English US

Is it possible to change the language assigned to 'clear formatting' like I changed 'new template'? (or even just get rid of English US altogether)

Office 2013 - Error "Cannot download the selected picture"

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 12:23 PM PST

Just installed Office 365 Home Premium, and cannot insert any picture from Office.Com Clip Art.  Just keep getting the error message "Sorry we couldn't download the picture you selected"


Can anyone help get around this?


I am running Office 365 Home Premium on Windows 7, with IE 11 installed.  I still have Office 2007 installed if that is relevant to the issue.

Find revisions only by a particular reviewer

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 11:26 AM PST

I'm working on a document which includes revisions by multiple reviewers.  I'd like to review only the revisions by a particular reviewer.

I've on the Tracking section of the Review menu, I've used Show Markup to select only revisions by that one reviewer, which does have the desired effect in that I can now use the Next Change button to find that reviewer's changes.

The trouble is that all the revisions by other reviewers are suppressed and not visible, so I'm reviewing a document that shows only some of the changes.

Is there any way to show all of the tracked changes, but do a search which will find changes only by a particular reviewer?

Thanks.

Word character spacing not the same as notepad's spacing.

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 10:55 AM PST

In Microsoft Office Word 2010, I have this character spacing problem. I tested some texts in Notepad and in MS Word 2010 and these are the results:

Font Tested: Times New Roman
Size: 12


In Notepad:


Now this is in MS Word 2010:


You can Easily spot the difference. In MS Word 2010 its a little bit more space between chars and in Notepad is default. Can you help me make the font in MS Office Word 2010 the same as in Notepad? I know its a little difference but this bothers me A LOT!

Help me, for gods sake.

Is there a way to PDF a Word document in a web layout?

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 10:55 AM PST

In the bottom right of Word, there are three layout modes. I am working in the web layout. The reason being is because I am trying to create a list of items and example images to be positioned according. I have a table created with 3 columns. The name of a listing is in each first column, description in second, and image in third. If I edit my document in the print layout, I get this huge gap in between two pages. If I edit in web layout, there is no gap at all, because everything is on one big page.

After I'm finished, I want to be able to PDF what I have and view it in a PDF reader. But I tested it and the document displays in Word's print layout rather than web layout. Is there a way to change this so it displays in the web layout like the way I had it setup? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

In Office 365, where is the toggle to turn off the onscreen keyboard?

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 09:43 AM PST

I assume there is one, because I can't imagine why there wouldn't be.


I have a Yoga 13, and in Office - and only in Office - every time I use the touchscreen to select the page or text box, an extremely annoying onscreen keyboard pops up. I clearly don't need it in laptop mode, even though I very strongly prefer to use the touchscreen to navigate and make selections (which is why I bought on a touchscreen). Windows 8 and the other apps seem to understand this. I'm hoping Office does, too. It's a deal-breaker for my trial version of Office, because it makes this program unusable for me.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

MS Office Word 2010 has random space between characters

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 01:45 AM PST

Hello, I have a problem.
I need to make a essay for school for next week. But I have recently discovered a random space between words in Microsoft Office Word 2010. I tried disabling justifying and I tried to adjust some settings but it didn't work.

I will upload a image of the problem:



I haven't made a typo, I checked and it wasn't.
I typed "ws" in Times New Roman, 12, bold, and it did get the same space.

I have MS Office 2010 with default settings.

Thanks. Hope you can help me.

VBA: Word has encountered a problem (5097)

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:49 PM PST

I'm getting the above error at runtime from an extremely innocuous looking block of code (below), on only one of our 12 machines. Not sure what to look for on that PC; our PCs all have the same release of Word and none of the others trip up there. Googling the message points me to several arcane situations, most involving automation or Outlook or proofing, but the error comes from this simple function (code stops where shown), with a few very ordinary documents open:

 

Public Function ReportIsOpen() As Boolean

Dim w As Window

For Each w In Application.Windows  <----- STOPS HERE

    If InStr(w.Document.Name, "RPX") > 0 Then

        ReportIsOpen = True

        Exit For

    End If

Next

End Function

 

Any ideas?  TIA.

why won't my chapter headings start at 1?

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:37 PM PST

I am using the multilevel list, with the heading 1 style for chapter headings.  There is one section break prior to my first chapter so I can keep my TOC pages numbered differently.  The very first text with heading 1 style is my first chapter 'Introduction'.  No matter what I do, it is always Chapter 2 and my pages are 2-1, 2-2, etc. 

I have even removed the section break after the TOC and those pages then get numbered 2-1, 2-2...

I have tried opening a blank document and copy/pasting text only and then applying the new chapter numbering with no luck.

Help?  thanks!

Word 2013 Bookmarking and Cross Referencing...

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:11 PM PST

Hi


I really hope someone can help - I'm just about to do the 'computer through the window' YouTube recap.


I'm creating a template in Word 2013. I have two Rich Text Content Control elements for a 'docname' and a 'docnumber'

These are on the (different) first page. I have assigned each of these elements with an appropriate Bookmark name (as above).

In the main document section, within the Header I have placed a Cross Reference for each of these.


From my understanding I should be able to goto Print Preview to have these two Cross References update and show me the relevant bookmarks. However all I get is Error! Reference Source Not Found.


To add what I've attempted, I've put these two initial elements in the Header of the first Section to see if that helps. Doesn't.

I've kept the template unprotected, ungrouped, unrestricted for editing yet I still get the above error.


There has to be something I'm missing or not configuring properly to ensure these work correctly.


If I toggle the Cross Reference element it displays as ' {REF number \h}', presumably this is correct for a Cross Reference.


If someone has the solution why these don't work for me I'd really appreciate a response.


Cheers


UPDATE... I found the issue... so I thought I may as well update this so that others, if they are having the same problem can check their work.


Instead of clicking only the content of the Content Control box, select the whole element (if you have the element tagged select the actual tag so the whole field itself is the Bookmarked item (not just the contents).


Hope this saves some time for some others.

HELP: NFS mount hangs when attempting to copy file

Haven't seen this as default r/wsize on any distro whatever you

systems. But those seem to change from time to time.

But might be one of the problems on your VPN, I'd lower this and
switch to "tcp" instead of "udp" at first.
 

My experience is exactly different, many problems with hard
mounting and zero with soft mounting.
 

Yep, the difference with tcp instead of udp would be most
interesting, if the server supports that.

Dave,
Yes, but how brave do you feel? One method is to use Paste Links between
the source and external files. However this method is fragile and if the
files and links are not handled carefully, corruption can occur rather
easily. To set up a Paste Link, do a copy of the milestone Finish date
in the source file. Then open the destination file(s), select the Start
date of the replicated milestone in the external file and go to
Edit/Paste Special. Select the Paste Link option and hit "OK". Now save
the Source file and then the destination file(s). That's the easy part.
To avoid corruption, after each update, save the source and then the
destination. Also, do not move either file to a different location. It
may also help to cross the pinkie and third finger on the left hand
whenever the linked files are active.

I think a much better bet is to create a master with the external files
as subprojects and then use external predecessors to tie the milestones
together.

Hope this helps.

Office 2013 - Word - File Save As with Preview of Document

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 02:13 PM PST

When I open a word doc and do a file save as, it no longer shows me the 'preview' of the document.  Instead it only asks where I want to save it.

 

I need to see the document so I can name it correctly, as I name my documents based on the date it was created and who it is being sent to.  It used to show the document, and I could easily input the correct information.  Now I must either 'remember' it or write it down somewhere...  not very user friendly.

 

How can I get around this and make it so I can view the document while saving it.

 

Thanks,

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:55 PM PST

I install the new office 2013 recently. When I print from word 2013 to adobe pdf printer, the "Save PDF File As" dialog pop up, but I cannot select the folder and input the filename. There are no reponse when I click any field in this dialog. And, the word no response, either. The only way I can do is kill the word and acrotray process in the task manager. I tried print from other office 2013 products, the outlook and excel 2013 have the same problem. However, the powerpoint and publisher do not have this issue. All office 2007 products work well. Any help? Thanks in advance!

Microsoft starter

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:38 PM PST

Microsoft starter came with my computer and I have several documents typed in there.  When I went to open them, it said I have to have Microsoft Office 2010, to open it.  Do I have to now purchase a new word program to access my documents?

Can't open email attachments created on Word or PDF

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 11:38 AM PST

Hi, I have had the problems previously outlined by other people in September 2013 relating to Microsoft Office Starter, and the demand to purchase the full product (which I don't need). The "Repair" facility worked a couple of times, but doesn't now make any difference. I downloaded Open Word instead as suggested by someone else on the forum, and can now open docs which I previously created myself - many thanks for that.
However, I still can't open email attachments created by the sender on Word Or PDF. When I click on the attachment, nothing happens. There is only an option to "Save to my computer", but if I click on this there is no other option to "Save as... etc". I can't find the document anywhere on my laptop.
Any suggestion gratefully received, as this is driving me nuts!

Drop-down list content controls not all working within the same document

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:17 AM PST

I created a .docx. It is a fillable form using content controls. The entire form is inside a table. There are many types of content controls. On pages 1-3, all the content controls work appropriately. Starting on Page 4+, the drop-down list content controls work. However, when you choose an item and then go back and choose the default "Choose an Item," the original gray placeholder text does not come back. It just shows several spaces with Show/Hide button on. The settings/properties are exactly the same. as the ones above that do work. Any ideas/suggestions? I am going crazy trying to figure this out!

Justification Spacing when using bullet lists

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:10 AM PST

I have an existing 43 page two column document in Word 2010.

 

There are bullet lists used on every page and when I justify the text as I think it looks better, I get very odd spacing in the document.

 

Selecting the option to "Do full justification the way WordPerfect 6.x for Windows does" makes things a little better but still with some very large gaps.

 

Is there a way to justify certain lines within a bullet point or alternatively to adjust the spacing manually?

 

Many thanks in advance.

WORD 2013, protected document allowing forms but it scrolls automatically

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 07:11 AM PST

I created a checklist with check boxes. They work fine when in unprotected mode, but once I protect the document (while allowing the check boxes to be used) , whenever the check box at the bottom of the list is checked, the document automatically scrolls down to the next item in the checklist. How do I stop that from happening? Thanks!

Word 2013 crashes on second paste

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 06:37 AM PST

Good day,

Word2013 crashes when I copy and then try to paste the same content several times.  Word stops responding from the second paste.  I tested this with Word 2013 in Safe Mode with the same results.

Word 2010 - Fillable Form text field - How to set default value

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 05:47 AM PST

I am creating a fillable form and I would like to reduce confusion on it. At the top, I ask for the user's name and email and later, I ask for the people who the request is meant for and provide a few text boxes to fill in those people's information. 90% of the time, the user is one of the people the request is meant for. I want the first text boxes to just fetch what was entered at the top as the default value. That way, I can group the requesters all together without relying on the user remembering to include themselves in the list (which I can then use in a Macro). 

I don't know how to set a default value or how I can get that value to equal whatever is entered somewhere else. I hope this makes sense... This is sort of what I mean:


User Info:
Name: John Doe
Email: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Phone: 555-123-5555

Request Type:
[Grouped Radio Buttons]
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5

Recipients:
Name1; Email1; Phone1
Name2; Email2; Phone2
Name3; Email3; Phone3


In this case, I want Name1 equal to User Info Name, Email1 equal to User Info Email, and so on. Is there a way to do this and if so, is there a way to do it without VBA? My concern is that since this is going out to people that they won't have macros enabled, so it wouldn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Word crashing when opening a Template

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:16 AM PST

I have a template for one of my reports for college saved on Skydrive, along with the report saved. Whenever I go to open the report it either asks if I want to open the document as it caused a serious error the last time it was opened or it get's stuck on "Opening report.dotx".

The only time I can get the document is when Word starts in safe mode due to the errors it has had.

I have upgraded my Windows 7 laptop to 8 and Word used to be fine. It has been uninstalled once and repaired twice, neither of which have fixed the problem. 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Navigation Pane - Heading 1 does not appear

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 03:12 AM PST

I wrote a document using predefine MS word styles: Heading 1,2,3,4. I only modified the font colors and font names. Headings 2 to 4 appear correctly in the navigation pane. Heading 1 does not.  I read a lot of topics on this subject but none of them seem to apply for my problem. The outline level for heading 1 is set to Level 1. heading to is set level 2.

How can I make heading 1 appear in the navigation pane.

How to create a XSLFO fo:region-after equivalent in MS Word

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 12:44 AM PST

Page Header and Footer show static text at the top and bottom of a page and are not affected by the body content. The regions are reserved for header and footer - as a result body text cannot encroach into this area. Is there any way by which we can create a similar region side ways on the right hand side - spanning vertically from top to bottom? XSLFO provides a feature to create a side region called region-after around the right margin of a page - that can be used to show repetitive and common text and serves this purpose. How to do it in MS Word (any version)?

Spell Check in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 10:09 PM PST

I have been using Word 2010 for a couple of years. I have experienced Spell Check locking up and crashing Word at random time since the beginning. This has happened with two different copies of the program, on two different computers, and when the software is reinstalled. I can find no cause for this but restarting Word is a pain when you have several documents open working on them - and now they have crashed. I had not added add-ins to my knowledge. I have no noticeable popups in the background. Nothing correlates to these lock ups. Since this is happening on more than one machine (one Windows 7 the other Windows 8), from two different copies of the programs, and upon reloads there must be a glitch in the software itself. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I did create a dmp file the last time it crashed but was unable to find a way in Windows 8 to read this file. I do not know if it would tell me anything because I could not read it.

Mail Merge Word 2013 not showing all recipients

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:13 PM PST

I'm trying to do mailing labels in Word with an Excel list.  It won't pull through all recipients.  I've followed the instructions properly and have checked all the proper recipients, but only 1 page of labels is coming through, less than half of the selected recipients.  Cannot understand where I am going wrong. 

Numbered lists - ah... the pain!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 04:30 PM PST

1.0        level 2, based on Heading 2 style, left justified, no indent, tab at 0.75", Ariel font size 11, color automatic, no period after the last digit
1.0.1     level 3, based on Heading 3 style, left justified, no indent, tab at 0.75", Ariel font size 11, color automatic, no period after the last digit
1.0.2     level 3
(a)        level 4 based on Heading 4 style, left justified, no indent, tab at 0.75", Ariel font size 11, color automatic, no period after the last digit

(b)        level 4 
2.          level 1 
2.0        level 2
2.0.1      level 3
                           I thought creating this numbering system would be easy and perhaps it is. But, i am having the Devil's time. Any help greatly                                              appreciated!!!  Thanks, and i mean a million!, Tucker
(a)        level 4

Can't Find My Word Document!

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 04:22 PM PST

Hello everybody,

 

I downloaded a file for one of my classes and the proceeded to edit the file (I wrote my entire final paper on it). Throughout the writing, I continually saved the file but I never renamed the file that I originally downloaded, I just kept saving it. I think that is the issue, because once I closed the file, I have been completely unable to locate it anywhere on my computer. This would be really unfortunate to have to write again so I really appreciate any help I get. I know I can't be the first person that has done this. Thank you in advance.

Blackout dates in Project 2002

Posted: 15 Feb 2005 01:01 PM PST

Yep. Make a new calendar with the dates, Then select the tasks (hold down
the control key to select multiple tasks) and hit SHIFT+F2 to open the task
dialog box. Go to the advanced tab and set the calendar to the one you want.
This functionality is only available in more recent versions of project. I
think Proj 2000 was the first version to have task calendars, but I may be
wrong.

I need an Enterprise Project Expert

Posted: 15 Feb 2005 08:51 AM PST

To tell the truth, I'm not aware of the existence of an "EPM certification"
as such. If you'll drop me an email (remove the obvious from my return
address) we can get in touch and discuss your needs. I might be able to
help out with general PM issues and MS Project but as I said I'm not a
server guru and don't pretend to offer any expertise in that arena. At any
rate, I'll be happy to discuss your needs with you and if I can't help
myself perhaps I can suggest some other folks who might give you insights on
a Server expert to bring in if that's more your concern.

Visual Basic "File Not Found" error

Hi Sandra,

I am sort of having the same exact problem. I have a project plan in 2003
that I sahre with someone else who uses 2000. He gets this error message all
the time also. I do not agree with Gerard, I don't think it has anything to
do with the file being corupted. Using 2003 I have No problems with the
file, it's only a problem in 2000. Let me know if you find solution.

Updating tasks that are on schedule

Posted: 14 Feb 2005 02:32 PM PST

You're seeing the reason there are two fields, the current date and the
status date, instead of just one current date field. The current date is
just that, although perhaps it should really be labeled "effective current
date." The "update work as scheduled" tool does assume you are entering it
as complete THROUGH the end of the current date (probably the assumption is
you would update through last Friday before going home Friday evening, just
before saving the file and shutting down for the day). If you're entering
progress today as it was at the end of the day last Friday, in Project
Information set the current date field to last Friday - I think providing
the ability to easily over-ride the computer's calendar without having to go
into the control panel and really changing it is precisely the resason they
made it an editable field so accessable in the Project Information menu.
The status date is not the date you are updating progress to, it is the date
you are *reporting* progress as of once you've done the updates. Thr status
date defaults to the current date unless you over-ride it but it's function
is different. Today when I come to work I might first update progress
through last Friday (set current date = 10 Feb) and then view the Earned
Value report as of the first of this month (set status date = 31 Jan).

How 2 Format a column selectively

Posted: 14 Feb 2005 12:41 PM PST

Hello Bill,

You can't really a column selectively, but you can display some specific
graphical indicators such as red, yellow or
green lights, but not directly in the Total Slack field :
Insert un Number(x) column, right click its label
Customize field / Formula
[Total Slack]/[Minutes per day] (or something like that : I don't have the
english version in front of me.)
Click the Graphical indicators button
Less than.... 0 ... red light

Hope this helps,

Julie --- Appreicate your response. If i could ask your favor on another
inquiry on the same subject. I have taken my 8 projects and built a resource

data ( work per task and assigned resource) I need to look at the overall
picture of my projects (1st one starting 2/22/05 and all 8 ending by 12/31).
they all overlap and I am looking for the best way to present to my managment
how we should balance the manpower, who should start when and if we need to
hire additional resources so we can finish by 12/31. What window can help me
view this the best.
