| word documents saving in picture manager Posted: 20 Dec 2013 03:23 PM PST I know this has been asked before, and I tried the steps advised, but it hasn't fixed the problem for me. All my Word documents suddenly converted themselves to Picture Manager, and any new documents I create do this too. I can open them by re-saving them as doc.x, which is tedious but at least it works. However, I can't open any Word documents sent to me as attachments. Can anyone tell me how to re-set so that Picture Manager doesn't take over everything? I'm using Word 2003 and Windows XP. |

| Borders around equations don't match the borders around nearby text Posted: 20 Dec 2013 01:51 PM PST I have been writing a math textbook for quite some time using Word. The latest version (2013 on Windows 8.1) has messed up my borders around text that contains equations. Specifically, I will have something like
words words words Centered equation on its own line more words
There is a border around this paragraph, but the left and right border on both sides of the equation (inserted using the equation editor) are pushed "outward" another inch or so.
Any clue on what I can do?
I have attached an image for reference.
Also, I should note the paragraph settings here. 
As well as the equation settings. 
And the borders settings.

| Can't delete style from style gallery in Word 2013 Posted: 20 Dec 2013 01:46 PM PST Hi,
I don't know is it just me or what but I can't delete style from style gallery
because every time I start Word that deleted style is back.
I tried options Remove from Style gallery and Delete "style name" but no luck.
Well these commands delete my style from the gallery but just for that time while Word is opened.
When I close it and start again this style is back in the gallery.
Am I a moron or what?

| Microsoft Word 2010 starter edition, question regarding Headers/bookmarks. Posted: 20 Dec 2013 01:07 PM PST Now I know that you cannot use book marks in the starter edition, however what I am trying to do is create headers within my document so that when I save it as a PDF people can navigate the document with the bookmarks tab. I cannot seem to get this to work. When I save it I select "Use headers as bookmarks" but it doesn't seem to work at all. However it does select a few pages from the first of the document to use as bookmarks for some reason.
Any help at all would be appropriated greatly. |

| Word document prints with wrong top and bottom margins Posted: 20 Dec 2013 11:55 AM PST Running MS Office 2010 on Dell Optiplex Windows 7 computer. I share a printer with my husband via our home network. When I print a Word document sending it directly to our printer (HP Officejet 6500A Plus) the top margin is too wide and the bottom margin too narrow--in other words, the whole content of the page is offset downward about 1/2 inch regardless of any adjustments I make to Margins. My normal setting for margins is "Normal". However, when I put the document directly or by copying it into my Public folder and access it from my husband's computer and print it from his computer, it prints correctly. SAME DOCUMENT!
My husband's computer is an HP All-in-One running Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010. Can anyone explain this mystery, and better yet, can anyone suggest a fix so I can print correctly from my own computer? |

| Bulk Mail Merge with Multiple Templates Posted: 20 Dec 2013 10:18 AM PST Hello,
I am taking an ambitious approach and trying to improve my current process of mail merging letters. My current process consists of exporting 4 different data sources from my CMS into excel. I would then match the exports according to their mail merge template.
My goal is to generate 1 master export, create a macro that will match the content to a specific template, and auto save with a date stamp in the File Name.
I need help getting this macro started and would like to know if there is an existing thread or line of code that I can reference.
Thanks!

| Microsoft Word wont open fully -- just shows thumbnail in Windows toolbar Posted: 20 Dec 2013 09:31 AM PST Hi. I've been having a difficult problem with Microsoft Word 2013. When I try to open Microsoft Word a thumbnail of the document that I select shows up in the Windows toolbar at the bottom of the screen, but the document will not open! This has happened to me and the past, and the only solution I have found is to do a system restore. Uninstalling/reinstalling Office does not solve the problem. After I do a system restore the problem is solved for about a week until it resurfaces again and I have to do another restore. I'm getting tired of doing all of these restores and losing my settings again and again just so that I can use Microsoft Word. If anyone has a solution to this problem, I would appreciate it very much! |

| How can I set the workgroup templates file location in Office 2013 to point at a folder stored on Sharepoint (2010/2013)? Posted: 20 Dec 2013 09:02 AM PST Hi All,
Been doing quite a bit of research on this but drawn nothing but blanks or alternative suggestions, none of which are viable.
So the outline of the issue:
Deploying Office 2013 suite to organisation and wanting to have custom templates available for users to choose from, but want those templates to be centrally stored and managed on a SharePoint site.
In Word 2013, for example, when you create a new document, you are presented with a page to choose from 'Featured' templates (or blank document)
So, if you wanted to have custom corporate templates, you could modify the file location for work group templates, thus creating a Custom Office Templates folder locally on your PC.
Great. This means when you select 'New' in Word 2013 you can pick from the 'Featured' templates, or the 'Personal' templates area.
However, I have a collection of test corporate templates (for Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). These are stored on a SharePoint site internally. If I try to modify the work group templates location in Word 2013 to point towards my SharePoint site (or any HTTP address for that matter) it won't work.
I know that I could point it towards a Network Share location instead, but I don't want to do that.
Is there any way of getting it to point towards a SharePoint site, any way of modifying it? Or perhaps an even better solution that I could use?
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be massively appreciated! And forgive me if any of my logic is off, but it does seem like this should be a straight forward thing to do given that Office and SharePoint are both developed by Microsoft and you would like to think they would inherently have better links!
NOTE: Going to Office 365 is also not an option either!
Eagerly awaiting an answer from someone incredibly clever! |

| problem inserting pictures into all office applications Posted: 19 Dec 2013 08:50 PM PST If I insert a picture into ANY Office 07 application (word, excel, powerpoint, publisher...) the picture is all yellow. This only occurs in Office. It does not occur in photoshop or any picture viewer, including microsoft's. So, I think it must be something with Office settings, however, there doesn't seem to be any place to configure something for all office applications universally.
I think this mainly happened after I upgraded to 8.1 pro from 8.0. Also, when you insert any picture into any Office 07 app, when you right click on the picture, the "edit picture" menu item is disabled and greyed out.
I've already tried color management and fiddling with the .icm color profiles, "use my settings", etc. I knew it wouldn't help because as I said, it's only Office 07 that is screwed up. |

Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute."
All I want to do is open a Word document that is not in the "recent" file, because all docs in the "recent" file open just fine when clicking on them in Word. If I go to My Documents and click on a "non-recent" Word document, it opens just fine with no error message.
How do I update the Declare statements, which ones do I update and how, and how to mark them with this attribute. When VBA first came out, I was darn good at it in Access, but I don't do VBA very well since the first update of VBA became almost as complicated as C++, and how did I get this error? |

| Inverted text in WORD version 14, 32 bit Posted: 19 Dec 2013 03:28 PM PST So I've designed a nice Christmas card to send out. It's A4, then you fold it along the long centre-line, then along the short one, and you can stand it up like any other card. The pphotographs at the front and the text on the back are fine - they appear at the bottom of the landscape page. The top half, however, when folded over, is upside down.
That's O.K., for I have created two text boxes, one each side. Then I entered the text and formatted it, etc., and I then rotated the text by "selecting" each text box in turn, and using the Flip Vertical icon in the Format > Arrange menu.
And it looks just the way I want it.
When I go to print this, the preview looks fine; but the actual printout does NOT rotate those two boxes !!!
This is also the case if I print to a .pdf file.
Help ! |
| Is it possible to apply "keep with next" to some lines within a paragraph without applying it to the whole paragraph? Posted: 19 Dec 2013 03:11 PM PST I have a few lines that I would like to keep together on the same page within a larger paragraph that does not need to all stay on the same page. Unfortunately, when I try to apply "keep with next" to the few lines that need to stay together, Word applies it to the whole paragraph. When I try to remove "keep with next" from the lines that I don't want to have it, Word removes it from the entire paragraph. Is there a way to get word to do what I want? |
