Microsoft Office Read Only!!!

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 02:25 PM PST

Hi,

Every time I open my Microsoft Word on my laptop, it opens as 'read only', and then I have to go to file > Open for Editing. 

Is there a way to change the settings so it's not read-only when I first open the program?


Thanks a bunch!

Dropped Drop Cap issue.

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 01:56 PM PST

Greetings,

The reason for this message is I am making final edits to my book. I was successful with my initial attempt to insert a dropped cap. However, where I indicate the section of the story i.e., "Chapter 1" and insert the dropped cap the letter, it rests on top of the sentence. If I erase "Chapter" and its header, and I bring the paragraph to the top of the page I am able to successfully insert the dropped cap. My question is how is it possible to insert the dropped cap with the word art, and the chapter notification intact?

This pictures reference what I am discussing:

Word only corrects spelling with one language at the time

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 10:56 AM PST

Hello, when I installed office for the first time English was the default langauge then I installed the swedish too, however I noticed that it would only correct my swedish so I uninstalled it and set english to be default again, but it still only corrects my swedish, not my english.

Whats the deal?

Speech Recognition in Word 2013

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 08:54 AM PST

I have started to use Speech Recognition using Word 2013. It accepts dictation fine. However, when I try to insert the text that I have dictated, it only pasts about 120 characters from the dictation window to the document. The rest of the text disappears. Do you have to say insert after every sentence?

Word - Footnote to End Note Conversion - Special Need

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 04:54 PM PST

Hello,


I finished writing my first book on Word!  I am so happy....

The book has 6 chapters containing 90 footnotes.


I want to convert the footnotes to endnotes but....

The desire is to place the end notes at the end of each of the six chapters....


So, I placed a page break and a section break at the end of each chapter.

Then, I tried in various ways to convert from footnotes to end notes.

Each attempt brought all 90 notes to the end of chapter 6.


I could not place the footnote at the end of it's respective chapter as an endnote.


How do you set up Word to convert footnotes to end notes in a document, placing footnotes as endnotes to the end of each chapter?


Thanks and Merry Christmas,


Mike

If-Then error

Word will not open 2003 doc documents

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

Ever since I have installed office 2010 I have had problems opening word 2003 documents which were in fact created in word. I have seen a dialog box in saving docs about choosing to maintain compatibility of docx. with doc. This is astonishing, but could it be a cause of the problem. Meanwhile, when I try to open the same doc documents in word perfect--no problem at all, except that the outline format is off. Is there some choice in options or elsewhere which will overcome the issue?


Not all prior word 2003 docs but many, and I cannot figure why.

Office XP error after Office 2003 update

Posted: 02 Feb 2006 02:53 PM PST

Thanks for the advice. I'd already tried this. MSO XP repair flips the
strings around and Excel 2002 help works. MSO 2003 repair flips them back so
everything fails again.

The files aren't overwritten. MSO XP files are in the office10 subfolder
and MSO 2003 files are in the office11 subfolder. My theory has Office
components identified by a component guid and a version guid. This method
isn't used with these registry values. There is just a component guid and
any version information is in each of the REG_MULTI_SZ strings and something
in MSO XP is assuming the first string is the one it wants, I think. MSO
2003 may be doing it right.

Office 2000 Uninstall - What is the admin path?

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it. However this seems to be an "add or
remove programs" error message rather than one from the installer itself.

Just to summerise

I click remove
Setup asks for disc
I enter the disc
Then comes up with "The feature you are trying to use is on a network
resource that is unavailable" error message and gives option to browse for it
I click ok
"The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the

Enforcing Grayscale print

Posted: 30 Jan 2006 03:45 AM PST

Hi Hallstein,

You may want to also post this in the Powerpoint newsgroup (link below) and include the version(s) of Powerpoint and the Printer
model you are using when posting there.

=========
<<"hallstein" <yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
A dozen of my users prints powerpoint presentations each day. The
presentations are in color, but our printers are black and white.
However the setting Grayscale does not produce the same output as the
default (e.g. blue backgrounds are removed and it is less hungry on the
print toner).

I would like to enforce grayscale printing for Powerpoint, however I
cannot find any setting at "Custom Installation Wizard" or registry
change. Also, no option seem to be available inside Powerpoint, as this
setting is saved per printer?

I see that something is saved in a .PIP file ( C:\Documents and
Settings\hallstein\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\PowerP10.pip) when
I alter this per printer, but this is a binary file that I am not
allowed to tweak I guess-

So, anybody out there with the knowledge I obviously lack? :) >>

Both are retail copies so everything should be okay. Installed the

EULA question on upgrades

Posted: 27 Jan 2006 01:58 PM PST

Hi Doug,

Office 2003 'upgrade' editions are retail packages and have retail licenses. You should be able to use an OEM Office CD from a
previous Office edition as the qualifying product to install the Office 2003 retail product on another PC, but you won't be able to
move the OEM Office XP copy to another machine.

I have a question about purchasing the Office 2003 Professional Upgrade from

Does the Office 2003 Professional Upgrade edition also upgrade my original
OEM license to a retail EULA? In other words, if I upgrade to 2003, do I
then get the right to remove the Office XP from the machine it was purchased
with, then install the 2003 edition on another machine? >>

That default compiler name of "cc" is actually a link to "gcc", the GNU C

I would have said your job includes educating the ignorant, actually, as
well. But since you're into old software, Promise at one time made an
adaptor for IDE drives which allowed you to put two drives into RAID-1
off a single cable connection. So your controller thought it had one
drive, but in truth it had an itty-bitty RAID-1 array.

Several companies make a box of IDE drives which looks like a single
SCSI drive (or small number of same in JBOD) when in reality it's RAID
of some flavor. This allows you to use an obsolete but supported SCSI
controller from the last millenium.

Final thought, you could build the kernel as UML and run it under a
newer kernel, use vmware (maybe, netBSD works), or put the hardware on a
modern machine with proper backup and use nbd or NFS for the file system.

I would tell management that RH8.0 is like Win98, and that it's time to
move on. If your developers wrote code which is so non-portable that it
won't run with a recompile you have a non-technical problem, baaad
practices.

Mail server recommendations

Several suggestions... first, download something more recent and still

a nice interface to spam filtering, which allows you to filter mail for
a group easily.

If you must provide Exchange capability you can do so, Google for some
suggestions. Note that Mozilla on Windows can use standard (POP3) mail,
if you want to get out of the Exchange business. Someone can probably
offer a suggestion for a groupware which uses shared schedules, the main
benefit of Exchange beyond mail.

How do i assign one resource to two tasks...

Posted: 22 Feb 2005 01:11 PM PST

I'd just echo Gerards response and enter the hours of work in the resource
usage view on the dates you want him there. But if it were me, I'd bite the
bullet and carry each of those 50 branch audits as a separate task. Each
one of them can be scheduled independently, each one of them can be done by
a different resource if you had enough auditors, and I suspect that each of
them will be done in a separate physical location. That adds up to 50
different tasks, not one elongated task, to my thinking. You know your
project better than I do but I've found that trying to cut corners like that
ends up costing far more aggravation than it saves in the long run. I'd put
in a summary task "Branch Audits" and indent all 50 locations as subtasks
underneath it. And as a side benefit, you can glance at the Gantt chart and
tell the manager of the Main St branch that the auditor will be at his
location on Tuesday April 12.

SQL Version

Posted: 22 Feb 2005 06:43 AM PST

From what I have read the version of SQL that comes with SBS 2003 Premium
does not support Enterprise mode, just Team mode. That kind or defeats the
purpose of getting an enterprise-wide project management system. So I think
I need a full version of SQL. Of course, I have not tested that theory but
I might once I get my copy of Project Server.

word will not open 2003 doc documens

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

Ever since I have installed office 2010 I have had problems opening word 2003 documents which were in fact created in word. I have seen a dialog box in saving docs about choosing to maintain compatibility of docx. with doc. This is astonishing, but could it be a cause of the problem. Meanwhile, when I try to open the same doc documents in word perfect--no problem at all, except that the outline format is off. Is there some choice in options or elsewhere which will overcome the issue?


Not all prior word 2003 docs but many, and I cannot figure why.

Dialog Error

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 11:43 AM PST

When I open Word I get the dialog box "C:\users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins\C:\Program Files(x86)\ Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\dngword.dll" is not a valid office add-in.

 

After clicking OK 3 times the dialog goes away and the program functions normally.  I have Uninstalled NaturallySpeaking12. The directory Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12 does not exist. I have Uninstalled and Reinstalled Word to no avail.

 

How do I rid myself of this dialog? (Version Office 10)

Word 2003 Gridlines

Exporting PDF - Set permission for print and copy to clipboard

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:51 AM PST

Hi there

I want to export a PDF from Word 2013, and prevent everyone from printing of copying the content to the clipboard. I can only find the options to set a user and owner password, but no option for setting print or copy permissions. Is there a way to set permissions for printing and copying to clipboard from the PDF, when exporting from Word 2013?

Office Dictionary

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:50 AM PST

Hello


I want to make a dictionary for Microsoft Office, starting from scratch - for a variation of Greek that is not currently available.


I don't want to exclude the spelling that is considered incorrect in this variation and add the correct one to the custom dictionary, as I want to be able to use the standard Greek dictionary when I need to. Actually, what I need to do is to change the spelling of most words, so creating the new dictionary by editing the standard would make things easier.


Is this possible? How can I do it?

Word 2k7 Autocorrect line returns

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:22 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having trouble in Office 2007 word. When I type out a word that causes Autocorrect offer "Press Enter to Insert" the rest of the word and I press Enter, it not only does not insert the word, it returns to the start of the next line on the page instead.

This issue is driving me nuts, can someone offer suggestions here? It was previously working in word 2003.

For example: 
If I type "Febr" it shows the little grey bubble with this exact wording: "February (Press ENTER to Insert)" . I press the enter key and it doesn't insert the full word, it just moves to the next line.  

any thoughts?

Thanks for reading,
- Mike

Linking data (single cell or row) to Word 2010 uses absolute cell reference

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:57 AM PST

I have an excel spreadsheet where I want to link only a single cell (A10) to a Word 2010 document.
However when a insert a row above A10, it updates Word and shows the data that is in A10, instead of A11.
The same happens if I sort the excel document.

For some reason, Paste link uses absolute cell reference instead of relative cell reference
This only happens if I link a single cell, or several cells in one row. Once I link cells in 2 rows, Excel uses relative cell reference.

How can I get Excel to use relative cell reference when linking one cell?

I copy cell in Excel.
In Word - Clipboard - Paste Special - Paste link - Microsoft Excel Worksheeot Object (or Formatted Text) - OK

I'd be thankful for any suggestions

Creating a Macro for Resizing several photos in Word while keeping the aspect ration

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:53 AM PST

I am looking to create a macro that will resize photos in Word.  I bring in a number of photos, some are horizontal and some are vertically oriented.  There are different amounts of photos each time I do this.  I would like to have a macro that will resize all the horizontally oriented ones to a height of 3.3" and the vertically oriented ones to a width of 3.3".  The aspect ratio needs to be maintained for each photo. 

 

I've been trying the code for programs like this and I was able to use one, but it didn't distinguish between the different orientations.  I was thinking that if the macro was written to check the photo so if the height divided by the width is greater than 1, then it would make the width 3.3".  and if not, then it would make the height 3.3". 

 

Also....after the photos are resized, I want to add a couple of lines of text that would be beneath each photo.  Would it be easier to add the text at the same time as the resizing of each photo, or have a separate subroutine that runs after all the photos are resized? 

 

My problem is that I have only taken one VB class and it was several years ago.  I understand loops and if/then statements, just don't really know how to code it. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Re office 2010 starter--program icon on screen--mistake

initializing Office in a second computer

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:47 AM PST

I bought and paid for a legitimate copy of Office Home and student 2010 in the summer of 2012 and used it on a new Sony laptop for about a year. Two weeks after the warranty on the computer expired, it collapsed on me and despite several expensive efforts to resuscitate it by the nearest Sony service station I junked it. I replaced it with a Samsung laptop but have been unable to initialize Office on it. Obviously, the problem is they think I am using a pirated copy. Is there any way to get around this problem?  

Is it possible to insert formulas by script in Word or Excel?

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:00 AM PST

A few days ago I tried to use LibreOffice, and I found that it's  convenient to insert formulas just by typing script in LibreOffice. For example, if I want to insert a formula of the integral of sine function, just open the formula script window and type "int from a to b sinx dx". It's faster than just by clicking or moving cursor up and down. Is there any similar way to insert formulas like that? MS Office is good, and would be better if such function is added.

Find phrases with Spell Check, or modify Grammar Check?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 11:36 PM PST

In Word 2010, I use the dictionary exceptions file to identify as misspelled words in my firm's style guide that I have not memorized; however, the dictionary is limited to single words.

Is there a way to force Word to search for text strings that include a space character, and if so, how?

If not, for the grammar checker, is there a reference file similar to the spell checker's dictionary, and can I get into it?

Finally, if the grammar checker is instead entirely programmatically driven, is there a way to get at it and modify it?

Word 2013 is reporting the incorrect user agent to the website

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 06:16 PM PST

Hi all,
   First off, I'm under an NDA so I can't provide weblinks. That said, we have an author that is sending out Word Documents with hyperlinks to one of our websites. However when she clicks on the links in Word 2013 on her new Dell XPS (with the latest IE version she says) the User Agent is being reported to our server as IE7 and prompting her to upgrade her browser to the latest version of IE.
   At this point I'm uncertain if she has fully updated her current version of Windows, but if she's still having an issue after that, could someone direct me toward where to look to fix what Word is declaring/seeing as the User Agent?
   I know this is vague, so if there are too many questions pertaining to what may be causing this, let me know and I'll get the required data.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers!

why wont shapes stay where i save them when i re open a document???

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 05:30 PM PST

basically i have a colour spectrum in my document and i need to create different sized black sections to go over the top of some parts.
i use insert>shapes>rectangle and then edit it to gradient fill with black and fading to transparent to place over the top of the coloured section. 
when i have placed it where it needs to go i save it and close the document. when i re open the document these black sections have changed position and arent as a gradient fill anymore. they are just plain black or a completely random colour like grey or blue. can anyone tell me why this is? i have asked so many people and get told about wrapping and formatting but have done everything they suggest and it still wont stay where i put it. other than that, no one has ever heard of this problem and im at a loss for what to do. please can someone help?
i have 2010 microsoft word starter if this makes a difference. 

Can I make the "save as" box small again?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 03:28 PM PST

I have 2003 version of WORD and at some time I hit the wrong key so that now when I save a word document the save box is the entire screen. I have to place the curser all the way down to the lower right of screen. Before, the save box was very small and that made it easier to save documents.   possible to make the box small again?

 

Thank You,
