Setting Up Word 2008

Hi

To make a custom toolbar do the following:

1. From the View menu choose Customize Menus and Toolbars
2. Click the New button and then enter a name for your toolbar
- a very small empty toolbar will appear. You may have to look closely
at the screen because it is only a placeholder big enough for one
toolbar button
3. Click the Commands tab of the Customize menus and toolbars dialog box.
4. Drag individual commands to your new toolbar

In the Customize dialog box, near the lower left there's a pop-up menu
that lets you choose to save your new toolbar in either Normal (Word's
default template) or the current document, which could then be saved a
sa a template if you like.

You can make as many custom toolbars as you like.

When you're done making a toolbar, click the OK button in the Customize
dialog box to close it. Then you can toggle your toolbars on and off
using the View > Toolbars menu.

You can swap toolbars from one open document or template to another
using Format > Styles > Organizer.

You can change the way a toolbar button appears on a toolbar by
right-clicking or control-clicking a toolbar button and choosing
Properties. You can dispaly the icon, text, or both. You can paste new
button pictures for your toolbar icons this way, too.

As you can see, Word gives you a lot of flexibility when working with
toolbars.

How to Change Office 2007 UI to Look Like 2003?

Posted: 03 Aug 2009 05:05 PM PDT

Hi,

keep in mind that this newsgroup is designed specifically for Office for
Mac. We've already got enough work on our hands to support that version (and
its numerous iterations, on many different versions of Mac OS X). There are
some MVPs who work cross-platform and who use Office 2007 on a regular
basis, but unless they provide an answer, you will have to ask your question
elsewhere. Keep in mind that you can also access newsgroups related to
Office for Windows via your favourite newsgroup reader, so there is actually
no need to visit one of the many poorly designed web interfaces.

If this is of any help: as far as I know, there is no way to switch back to
the Office 2003 interface. I don't know if it is possible at all to modify
the Office 2007 interface, but if it is, it will certainly involve a lot of
programming.

If that is true, then this is probably some other issue.

Crystal Reports for CRM

Posted: 24 Aug 2004 08:56 AM PDT

Good call Stephen.

When I look at "Show SQL Query" for the CRM table, this is what I see:

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="name" />
</entity>
</fetch>

Whereas the financial app table is straight T-SQL.

I suppose I could try to create a copy of my financial app table within the
MSCRM database,refresh it nightly, and run my reports directly in CRM. But I
think this would fall into the category of a "not supported" customization.
Still, I wonder, has anyone tried this?

when I go into the accounts and tell it to view My Active, Inactive, and

MS works 7.0 onto windows XP

Posted: 26 Feb 2007 11:03 AM PST

Annie.
If your new PC, came with MSWorks8.x preinstalled as my new Dell did? This is
the procedure I went through to install MSWorks "Suite" 2002, on the new PC,
when I got the same error trying install MSWorks Suite 2002.

1. Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> Select to remove all components of
MSWorks8.x.
2. The Removal process leaves a folder behind, containing new versions of *dll
files, that the older version of MSWorks can't recognize. The folder needs to be
manually deleted/remove by you, before you can install the older version of
MSWorks. They should be found at:

C:\Program Files\MSWorks on your PC.

3. Reboot PC (Something I do automatically).
4. Then try to install the older version of MSWorks.

3. Select File > Print and
4. Specify the name you want the XPS file to have. The default

Note: When the default printer is set to Microsoft XPS Document

downloading clipart

Posted: 23 Feb 2007 06:12 AM PST

Microsoft Clip Gallery 3.0. The only browser I have installed is IE7, and
I'm running Windows XP Professional. I'm wondering if IE7 might be part of
the problem as I know a few months ago I downloaded some clips using IE6
without a problem. I'm reluctant to download another browser as I have a
very slow dialup connection (24.0 Kbps). It takes an incredibly long time
to download large files, and not something one does on a whim. Still, I
might try and give it a go, or I could uninstall IE7 and go back to IE6.
The phone company is laying line in this area and we are being promised high
speed Internet in the very near future. So, I might hold off for a few
weeks before attempting any long downloads.

Thanks for your help!

I've never copied over an installation folder. I always thought that every

Let me get this straight, Is all I have to do is find my MS Works 4.5a

Another question, my computer should easily handle Vista, if I upgrade from
XP pro to Vista would MS Works 4.5a work ?
I use 4.5 for business applications and mail merging and would never
consider newer versions until they re-integrate Works and fix the mail

Hi Ken,

Perhaps carry out a Search for 'custom'.

It may be that you have another CUSTOM.dic file on your system

If so, and if it has entries that you require then delete the recently
created version in
...\Ken\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof

and replace with a copy of the older version that has contents.

In addition, to see if the spell-check will resume from the start

Open a fresh and new document together with the document
with your typing in.

Copy the contents of the older document into the new document.

Run spell check.

I believe that your original version of the CUSTOM.dic file was corrupted
with a loss of the words you had stored there.

In future, you may make regular backups of your CUSTOM.dic file

Works 8 Database on Vista crashing woes

I called HP (the system manufacturer) and they walked me through a coplete

My current workaround is to print to MS XPS, open the new XPS document, and

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"

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!

crashing when spellchecking

Posted: 19 Dec 2013 09:08 AM PST

As soon as I press the spell check button in the review ribbon office 2013 crashes every time. I've debugged the program and it flags up the OSF.dll file as the problem, I managed to temporarily fix the issue by deleting it but now its happening again with that file both present and absent.
Tried multiple uninstalls & repairs, no luck what so ever.

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.

Symbols option does not work fine in Word 2013.

Original post: Symbols.

 

When I select Insert with my cursor and then the Symbols pull-down my cursor allows me to select from the Recently Used Symbols plus I can Select all of the font families; e.g. Webdings but when I place the cursor on a new font character nothing can be selected rather the highlight stays on the first upper left corner character in solid blue?  HELP?

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.

Can I use the 2003 WORD program to convert such text so that a page of text  is made into one big paragraph so tha the reader reads straight  through?

 

I'd really appreciate any help.

Thank you,

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.
