Lock a shape to a cell in a table - Word 2010

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 01:06 PM PST

Hi, I have created a table in Word 2010. At the bottom of each cell I have a shape - a standard Word shape. It is aligned to the bottom and right hand side of the cell, touching the cell border. When I press the enter key in a cell to move to a new line I would like the shape to move and stay in the same position within the cell. Currently, when I press the enter key the shape moves, but doesn't stay aligned to where I want it to (to the bottom right hand corner of the cell.)

ArchiCAD spell check says Office 2013 product not authorized.........but it is!

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 11:15 AM PST

I use an architectural program, ArchiCAD, which runs an internal spell check using/running off of Word's spell check. When I initialize the internal spell checker, I am getting a dialog saying Microsoft can't verify the license for this product. [image 1]

Everything Office I use works system wide, I am signed into my Microsoft Office account, which sin't an option if it weren't a legit product. They're happy that I'm legal, I'm happy with everything else but this glitch keeps coming up. [image 2]

I have tried repairing Office, multiple times, via control panel as suggested and still the same issue. I can't spell for sh*t and really need this to work.........like it used to!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why Microsoft has not fixed the mail merge lable issue YET!

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 07:56 AM PST

As of today, 1/5/14, mail merge for mailing lables fails every time irregardless of where it is initiated (Word or Outlook), irregardless of which program is open or closed. The failure always happens if you try to choose multiple contacts. By failure I mean the program crashes. Multiple reboots, EVERY SOLUTION MENTIONED IN THE DISCUSSION ATTEMPTED, and still I can only print a single contact mailing label. My question is why. Why is Microsoft not able to fix this issue that many have? Why is there no solutions that work from any other source? Why has Microsoft been left off the hot seat for this? Why does anyone even bother to read or post on the Microsoft Community about this issue when there has not been the first positive fix in 4 years? Just wondering?

'this modification is not allowed because the selection is locked' using Word 2010 and skydrive pro

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 05:11 AM PST

Hi,

I have an active Office 2010 as part of a P3 Office 365 subscription.

I have just activated Sharepoint to be able to use Skydrive Pro.

I have downloaded the Sync App and succesfully sync'd files between the two.

I can create a Word 10 document in the local Skydrive Pro folder but cannot edit it.
I can create a Web App Word document, it syncs down to local I can open it local but cannot edit it.

The Office 2010 is fully licensed.

I can only think it is because I am using Office 2010 with Sharepoint 2013? Can any one suggest anything else?

document loads but it is incomplete!!

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 01:23 AM PST

Hi i am so desperate. my phd thesis is 180Mb and 260 pages . i have it saved in 2 diff locations and numerous versions but not in the cloud.

Im using MSWord 2007 and Windows 8,    the document was created using MSWord 2010 and Windows 7.

The last version of the saved document loads in MSW2007 but it only loads 61 pages of the 260 pages.   The word count of the 61page document is about 20,000; this is found after i selected the entire 61 page doc and did a word count;  but the wordcount displays as 70,000 for the loaded 61 page incomplete document.  The word count of the original 260 page doc would be about 70,000 words.
The document map/ navigation pane shows the map of the entire document but it is inactive after the 61st page.

The file size as shown in Explorer is 180Mb and In the preview pane of Explorer, i can preview the whole 260 page document!    ive  tried Selecting (Ctrl-A) the complete document  in the preview pane in Explorer and then Ctrl-C Ctrl-V pasting it into a new doc; it appears to paste but only 61 pages show as earlier. ive tried opening a new document and doing Ctrl-W, then dragging the file ...again 61 pages show up.

An earlier version of the document loads the entire unedited ~250 pages.  The last version contains significant new material from the previous version which i dont have saved anywhere else  :(

thanks

Office 2013 Equation Editor problems

Posted: 04 Jan 2014 07:56 PM PST

Hello I'm using office 2013 but when I wanted to use the Equation editor, and wanted to select a specific figure (in fraction, script, radical etc.), all of the are blanks, but when I press it, it shows up in the page normally. I just wanted to see it directly so I can choose. here's an attachment.

By the way I've read some solutions, which include the 37mb compatibility pack, some worked for them, but to me it didn't. What a shame. Any other solutions? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried deleting the said folder manually with your windows
Explorer? The folder should be here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11

If you can't delete it with Windows Explorer then reboot the system in
SAFE MODE and then try deleting it from there.

how do I install office Standard Edition 2003?

Posted: 26 Feb 2006 08:47 AM PST

To install an Office Suite that is a Upgrade you do need a qualifying product installed or not like MS Works,Previous Office Version etc. Without the latter the Upgrade version of Office that you purchased will not install. I would go back to the store and speak to the manager and tell him that the salesperson told you different and you want the matter rectified.

can I run Office on my new computer if it's on my old one?

Posted: 26 Feb 2006 08:23 AM PST


If you have a retail version of Office 2003 then you can install it on
two
computers - one desktop, and one portable device. If the system does or
is
scrapped then the license can be transferred on to another system.

If you have Students and Teachers version of Office 2003 then you can
install it on three computers within the same household. If the system
dies or is lost, so too your license for that system.

If you have OEM version of Office 2003 then you can only install it on
the same system it came with. You CAN't install it on any other
systems. If the system dies, so too your OEM version of Office.

Use Windows Explorer to search for a file named OFFICEAV.DLL on
the hard drive (include system and hidden files/folders in your
search options). If you find it, note the folder where it is
located, and use the "regsvr32 /u" method described in KB329820
to unregister the DLL.

Workstations Ask For Office CD

Hi Steve,

If MS Office was installed from an Office Admin Point on a server then it
stored the server name as part of the value and the MS Installer is
basically expecting to find a connection to its installation source for
feature repair etc. This article may be helpful to you.

We recently installed a new Windows 2003 Server network. The old network

After the new network took over, user workstations and shared workstations

XP. Office 2003 is fine. My predecessor plugged the old Windows Server

I want the old server off the network. Can anyone advise me how to resolve

Thumbnails of .DOC files?

Posted: 25 Feb 2006 03:26 AM PST

Hi John,

Windows XP will display the document thumbnails if in Word having the
setting in File=>Properties to 'Save Preview Picture' is turned on. It was
turned *off* as the default for Office 2003 as it both increases the
document size and can be, for some, a privacy issue.

You can use File=>Open and choose the 'preview' view as a workaround if you
don't want to enable saving the picture in the documents.

I can recall this working by default on an older machine...I think it used
office XP though. It had no need to select any option.. Windows explorer
could generate thumbnails from doc and xls on the fly. Anyway this is stated
on the MS site about windows2000 and office 2003.

This SHOULD work for XP, but how? <<

But, it didn't help.

To summarize.
PC crashed. Installed office from scratch, from CDs.
This installer problem started.
Tried everything in that article.
Then I tried this tool. After that it claimed tere was no association with
the .doc file type.
I fixed that and tried to open a doc. No errors, nothing at all happened.
I re-installed office from scratch again.

Microsoft Office Communicating on Port 37926???

Posted: 24 Feb 2006 05:46 PM PST

I'm using Outpost v3.0, but searching the net I've found that this is
firewall-independent.

Yes, IPBus uses the same port, but while IPBus is not specifically installed on my
computer, something called "Microsoft TV/Video Connection" is.

What I do not understand is why this is activated **ONLY** by Microsoft Office 2000
applications. People seem to blindly enable the port out of frustration, without
actually knowing what they are doing or why they are doing it. I don't like enabling
ports I don't understand.

The install runs fine without using the transform file.

Posted: 04 Jan 2014 02:01 PM PST

Having installed Outlook 2013 and Windows Mail on a HP Envoy 23 All in One PC running Windows 8, not 8.1, we have since spent three days trying to find out where our emails kept disappearing to only to discover that this is a known, but outstanding, fault. 

The solution is to un-install Office 2013 because that is the only way to remove Outlook, in doing so you have to un-install all of the suite of Office 2013 programmes, and now I want to re-install Word. 

I would like to meet the team leader at Microsoft who came up with this idiotic solution, obviously he thinks his software is so good that it will never need un-installing.

So folks Windows 8 instructions and messages imply that you can re-install the programmes but give no clear guidance on doing it.

Help please.

I have tried the following things so far:

tried running winword.exe as an admin - did not work 
tried booting windows into safe mode and then opening word - did not work 

the event log is

creating a table of contents as breadcrumbs throughout a long document

Posted: 04 Jan 2014 10:31 AM PST

I've got a long document I've written which has a beautiful table of contents at the beginning which programatically associated with sections of the document and therefore easily updated (thank you MS!). I had this thought, however, that it would be nice to have a sort of second table of contents which appears on each page throughout the document as sort of a breadcrumb. That way the user can see where they are in relation to the rest of the content. I think of it is similar to the cut-away-tabs on old dictionaries which would both tell you where you are and easily let you jump to a different letter only a bit more sophisticated (mine would have clickable links for the digital version). I can do it manually (I create a long skinny text box that sits on the left or right margin of a given page and then drop the list of content into it bolding the active section) but I'd rather find a way to have it automatically update. Has anyone done anything like this? Can it be done? Am I reaching the limits of the program (albeit impressively far limits but perhaps limits nonetheless)? Thanks in advance!

Missing Fonts

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 04:57 PM PST

I just purchased a new Dell, along with Office 2013 Home & Student. The past 8 years I've been using an Apple, but thought I'd give Microsoft another try. Upon using, however, I find that my favorite font, Baskerville, is no where to be found. I've searched through a number of the sites listed on Microsoft's page of free font foundries, but to no avail. Am I missing something or has Baskerville been retired from the Microsoft world?

This seems like such a trifle, but it's these little things that can affect how we respond to a product.

Bug in Microsoft Word

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 04:15 PM PST

I discovered a bug in Microsoft Word 2010.

I Windows Explorer, if you have the file preview pane turned on, and you click on a Word file, it will attempt to display a preview of the contents of that file in the preview pane. This means it needs to start WINWORD.EXE. What that means is that if you clicked on the word file in order to, let's say, rename it, you won't be able to. Or if you clicked on it and then hit delete in order to delete it, you won't be able to. It'll tell you that the file is already open and you can't rename or delete it. Any time I want to do this, I have to open the task manager, stop WINWORD.EXE, and then rename or delete (or whatever).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot open email attachements from hotmail/outlook

"We're sorry, we cannot open ... because we found a problem with its contents." I then click 'OK', and the next message says: "We found unreadable content in .... Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." I then click "Yes," and then I am told, "We're sorry, we can't open ... because we found a problem with its contents."

Note: I know the source of the documents and know them to be trusted.

I tried going into Word/options/trust center/trust center settings/protected view and unchecked each of the three "Enable Protected View for files..." originating from the internet, located in potentially unsafe locations, and for Outlook attachments -- to no avail.

I can open the attachments if I select "View online." Is this my only option?

Word 2010 : Watermark visibility on paper

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST

I've encountered a small problem wit my watermarking of documents.
In the background of every document I make, there is a faint Weierstrass p (℘) in the background based on the template I use.
However, I've discovered that its visibility varies when I print the document. I use the text color named "White, Background 1, 5% darker" (r/g/b 242), which is quite weak, but not too weak, as I want it to be somewhat faint and thereby not dominating. I've also hooked it up to be partially transparent.

Here is the deal: Whenever i print a blank page with little on no text the watermark is fine. If I use the automatic color setting on the printer, it is slightly lighter, but still tolerable. Unfortunately, if the page is covered with text, then a black-and-white print will have it considerably weaker. The same document printed with color will make the entire watermark disappear.

Is there someway to change this behavior, so the watermark stays non-dominating but still slightly visible on both a black-and-white and a print with color?

Works 8.5 spreadsheet pasting currency with comma problem

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 07:23 PM PDT

Hi Ivan,

Once you set the formula up, you may copy the column containing
the strung together value and PASTE over the top AS VALUES

Thereafter, delete the two unnecessary columns, though you would
require them for further imports into that spreadsheet, or use a fresh
sheet for import purposes only. Paste the VALUES from one sheet
to another.

You may also be able to edit the data before pasting. Remove the
commas and then paste.

HTH,

Does Microsoft Works Spreadsheet have the autocomplete function?

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 11:21 AM PDT

Hi Christa,

Unfortunately Works does not have an Autocomplete function,
similar to that of Excel.

However, perhaps a lookup table could be utilised ?

Problems accessing my personal template in Works 8.5 on Vista

Posted: 16 Jun 2007 05:17 AM PDT

Hi Marina,

In addition to everything Kevin said....

I have a template I use quite often so I put a shortcut to in on the
desktop.

This template fills out and signs my personal checks. To use it I tear out
a check from the checkbook, put it into the envelope slot of the printer,
double click the template icon on the desktop, fill in the necessary info,
click print.

To put your template on the desktop, navigate to the template, right click
it, in the popup dialog select Send To, on it's expanding menu choose
Desktop (create shortcut).

Problem with arabic text?

Posted: 11 Jun 2007 03:31 PM PDT

Not so much a bug as a lack of a feature. Works, to my knowledge, has
never implemented support for right-to-left languages, such as Arabic.
Wordpad and Notepad get it right because they basically leverage the
system-provided controls (which understand RTL text). Works, as I
understand it, has a totally separate code base, which is where it gets
features that Wordpad and Notepad don't provide.

Hi Pen, thanks for getting back to me. I have worked it out now, although I
have only got Windows Mail on this machine (Vista HP), it needed to be told
that Windows Mail was my default e-mail client. So I specified this and now
Works Task Launcher>Contacts>"click on envelope icon for a particular

If you are still having your "wierd" problem, this may help.

..doc and .xls files should remain intact as long as you didn't
put them in the same folders where the Office program files are
located (such as "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data" or "C:\Program Files"). As
a precaution, you should back up your outlook.pst file (which is
where your emails are stored) in case Something Bad happens.

How to setup new deafult doc format for Word 2003 ?

Posted: 20 Feb 2006 01:10 AM PST

NO! Only Word can make normal.dot. You can copy various items from a
template into normal.dot by using the organiser, but a template saved as
normal.dot is not the same as normal.dot.

Microsoft Office 12 Pre installation (Urgent develope idea)

Posted: 20 Feb 2006 12:29 AM PST


It already does in Office 2003. You get the option to either remove the
old version completely thus saving HD space or you can keep the old
version and still install the new version.

This choice is at the start of the installation and unless you are
challenged in any shape or form, you can't miss it!.

As Milly said, any ideas or recommendations should be directed to MS
developers and product managers as per your agreements under beta
testing program.

my MS office set-up CD doesn't work

Posted: 19 Feb 2006 01:21 PM PST


You will need to contact MS for repalcement CDs. Read this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246

When you say: "I can't get the "product ID")" what exactly do you mean?
You will need the serial number that came with the original package. It
is normally on the sleeve of the CD. Has the sleeve been lost or
destroyed as well?

Yes. If you want to run more than one version of Office, they need to be
installed in the order that they were released. Office 2003 was there first
(even if it is a trial version).

Are there new GPO/.adm templates for Office 2003 SP2?

Posted: 17 Feb 2006 08:42 AM PST

The SP1 templates are the latest and greatest. (Still no word from
Microsoft when the SP2 versions will be out.)

Tip: Consider carefully what you apply via domain group policy objects and
this means that this is what it is and the end user doesn't get the option
to configure to taste.

Tip: If looking to configure Office 2003 on terminal servers, be ruthless
where it counts. (No PST creation, No AutoArchiving, No Cached Mode for
Outlook.)
