Is there a simple field code for bolding text in a field and one for showing text in superscript?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 03:40 PM PST

Hi,

 

I have linked text from an Excel spreadsheet into a Word document.  I inserted it by Paste Special > Paste Link >

 

The text is as such -

 

              If your balance was $50,000, then for that year you will be charged fees of $767.00# (for December 2013 this is $796.40#).

 

The figures in bold - when I update them, they lose the bold formatting.  Is there a simple field code I can put in that will simply format all the text in the field in bold?  I have tried a number of things, including the CHARFORMAT code, and it just won't work.

 

The Hash marks (#) - I need this to be in superscript.  When it updates, it won't stay in superscript.  Is there a simple field code that simply makes any text in the relevant field in superscript?

 

I have looked and looked, and found nothing :-(

Word 2010 "Manual breaks are the issue here"

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 02:25 PM PST

Hello from Steved


.Wrap = wdFindAsk


My issue please is with the above line, meaning if I change it to "wdFindStop" it will not find "^m", now if I use "wdFindContinue" it will find "^m", but it will not stop after finding the last occurrence, finally if I use "wdFindAsk" it works but asks "do you want to start at the beginning", which I do not want this to happen every time I run this macro, what do I need to do please to make the below macro function. Thank you in advance.

How to Auto Update Linked Charts in Word 2013 When Document Opens

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 01:40 PM PST

Does anyone know how to have charts, that were pasted & linked from Excel 2013 to Word 2013, automatically update when the Word document is opened? I have the "Update Automatic Links at Open" selected in the Word, but to update the charts I have to select each one and "refresh", which is a pain with lots of charts.

Would VBA work?

Using Windows 8.1

Word 2010 Legacy Form Drop-Down Menu Arrow Showing when printing

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:59 PM PST

Once filled in; I'd like the people filling in the form to print what they've created; but the little arrow next to the drop down menus (legacy ones) are showing when I go to print; even if I've clicked off the field before printing. I don't know why they're continuing to show & do not want them to show on the printed form. Please help! So, it looks like the below - both "12-month period" & "February 2015" are drop down menus, but even if not showing when going to print, one of them have an arrow next to it on the print page. I just want to get rid of it.

Thanks!

Printing Statement (5.5 x 8.5) size handouts from Word

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:44 PM PST

I'm trying to print statement (5.5 x 8.5) sized handouts for a class. I've created the page size in Word (Office 365) with margin sizes of .5 in.

What I'd like to do is print the handout on letter-size paper in landscape and then cut the paper in half. For example:
  1. I need page 1 to print on the front of the letter-sized paper twice and...
  2. I need page 2 to print on the back of the letter-sized paper twice.
  3. When cut in half, I'll have two copies of the document in statement or half-letter size.
Is this even possible? I am trying to avoid using columns and/or duplicating pages in the document using letter-sized paper. I need for the document text to flow from page to page but for the page size to be 5.5 x 8.5.

How to prevent Word 2010 or 2013 from saving files in DOC format?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:39 PM PST

How can I prevent Word 2010 and/or 2013 from saving files in .DOC format?

Or, how can I have Word 2010 and/or 2013 automatically "Convert" all old format .DOC files on open?

Or, how can I permanently disable "compatibility mode" for .DOC files that are opened in Word?

MVPs: NO, I am NOT looking to manually convert every single .DOC file to .DOCX. I want Word to automatically convert documents upon open. There is NO need to maintain 100% compatibility with earlier versions of Office!

FYI "Convert"ing a .DOC file will then force Word 2010 (& presumably 2013) to save the file as a DOCX file if you click on Save or Save As. I'd like all old format documents to be automatically opened NOT in compatibility mode.

In PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 it is possible to use the Trust Center -> File Block Settings to force PowerPoint to open .PPT files in protected mode which then forces you to convert the document to PPTX before you can start using it.

I want the same to happen in Word, but, it seems that the Trust Center settings in Word 2010 and 2013 are there for show. Changing them seems to do nothing :( I have yet to convince Word to open .DOC files in protected mode.

Sorting a list of judgments by case number

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:22 PM PST

Hi,

I have been trying to find out ways to sort my list but so far my search through the internet has not been successful. I could also not find much on the sorting function in the word help/support pages.



My task: 


I have to sort a case list which looks like this, but way longer:


Case C-108/09 Ker-Optika [2010] ECR I-122213                    2,3,5

Joined Cases C-153/04 and C-155/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  1,4,7,

Case 94/82 Kikvorsch [1983] ECR 947                        5,7,9,

Joined Cases C-151/04 and C-152/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  2,12,25


 

The list would need to be sorted according to 1. the year (which is directly after the first slash) and 2. the case number (which is just before the slash) i.e. the list should be sorted like this:


 

Case 94/82 Kikvorsch [1983] ECR 947                        5,7,9,

Joined Cases C-151/04 and C-152/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  2,12,25

Joined Cases C-153/04 and C-155/04 Nadin and Nadin-Lux [2005] ECR I-11203                  1,4,7,

Case C-108/09 Ker-Optika [2010] ECR I-122213                    2,3,5



 

Any advice?? I don't want to sort hundreds of these by hand! Thanks so much in advance!

Form Check Box Options

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:21 PM PST

I have a form with YES and NO check box options. If NO is selected/checked the box will fill with the typical X. 

If YES is selected, not only do I want the X, I also want a couple paragraphs of new text/or a new section to appear directly under the check boxes. 

Is it possible to do this kind of thing in Word? Perhaps I need Visual Basic or… 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Changing footnote cross-reference number formatting

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:20 PM PST

I am formatting law journal article that has cross-references to footnotes. Specifically, it contains ranges of footnotes that should end up looking something like "145–50."  I've been inserting two references, first to 140, and then to 150, but I end up with "145–150," which is not correct for the formatting that I need.  

Does anybody know how I can make a footnote cross-reference to, for example, footnote 150 that will only display the last two numbers?


This is the format of the field:

{NOTEREF_Ref364863823 \h \* MERGEFORMAT }


I've tried changing it to:

{NOTEREF_Ref364863823 \h \# "00" }


But that doesn't seem to work.  Thanks!

Page 1 of x Question

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 10:58 AM PST

Using Word 2007, I have a document that is a total of six pages, the last two of which are exhibits.  In the body I put in the page number code for page 1 of x and it gives me the total of page 1 of 6.  I've separated the exhibits out with a next page section break, same as previous off, and it still gives me 1 of 6.  I insert on exhibit 1 page numbers 1 of x and format it to start at page 1.  It still counts the total pages for x.  How do I set this so that the body says Page 1 of 4 and the exhibit 1 of 2?

 

Thanks.

How to find templates for blank headers and footers in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:49 AM PST

I'm trying to create a template for headers and footers that are completely blank. In Word 2010 that was an option. In 2013, every header or footer on the drop-down menu has some kind of border or line--even the ones listed as "blank." And I can't find a way to remove those lines.

Can someone please tell me how to make truly blank headers and footers? I'm trying to create documents with page numbers at the bottom--no borders or lines in the footer. And I want headers at the top, again with no lines or borders.

Thanks!

Same values of variables in word 2010 Visual Studio add-in are being shared across multiple document

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:46 AM PST

I am developing an Office Word 2010 Add-In in Visual Studio using c#. In add-in code I have some class level private variables declared.

 

When a word document is opened then some of these variables are loaded with dynamic values and some are loaded with values in various events like DocumentOpen etc. It's fine till here.

 

Now I keep the first document opened and open another word document. When this second document is opened while debugging before load event I can see the variables are already loaded with the first document's values.

 

So if first document 'Doc1' has a variable named 'docName' which I assign with value "Doc1" when the document is opened. Now when I open another word document 'Doc2' (first document 'Doc1' is still opened, not closed) I see the variable 'docName' already set with value 'Doc1'.

This is not only happening when the Documents are opened but in every events all variables' values are shared across multiple documents.

 

I do not want to create variable arrays as there are many variables and will keep adding more as functionality of add-in is extended.

 

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Word 2013 printout differs from onscreen print preview

When printing a document to Adobe, activating the paragraph marker, watermark, or footers, the document gets bounced around and things shift to the next page although no additional lines have been added and no formatting was changed by me.  Why and how do I resolve this.  I keep having to reformat the entire document over and over.

Did Something Change Recently (January 2014) With Word Draw Functions?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:21 AM PST

I'm wondering if a Microsoft Update could have changed the way objects are positioned in the canvas.

I do a lot of drawing in Word, always using a Drawing Canvas.  Previously, when I would insert a drawing object, I could position it with the following choices using the Layout tab: In Line With Text, Square, Tight, Behind Text, In Front Of Text.  Somehow a parameter has changed, and drawing objects cannot be positioned with these choices.  When I select 'Layout', it just lists 'Position In Diagram', and will not allow me to change.

Including chapter numbers in paragraph list

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 04:08 AM PST

I am trying to make a numbered list in paragraph text that includes the chapter number in the numbering in a way that it would be automatically updated when the chapter number changes. Something like the following:

<chapter#> This is the chapter title in Heading 1 style

<chapter#>.1 This is the first item on the list in List Paragraph style
<chapter#>.2 This is the second item on the list in List Paragraph style

I fiddled around with the multilevel lists options but I can't really figure out how to make this work. I tried abusing 'heading 2' for this by creating a new style and selecting "based on heading 2". The disadvantage is that in this case I have the problem that the text is also included in the TOC plus the formatting is not based on the 'normal' style so it is more difficult to keep the styles in sync. Is there a better way to accomplish this or should I revert to manually adding the chapter numbers in the list?

Microsoft Word 2007 Mail Merge suddenley not working unless I press Shift + F9?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 03:59 AM PST

Hiya I have has an issue with Microsoft Word 2007 and Mail Merge for the past week at work and the IT guy doesn't know what's going on so we are both looking for solutions!

It just happened suddenly as had been working fine and I have not updated Microsoft word to a newer version or anything. When I open a word document with Mail Merge it comes up with the coding that is implemented for the Mail Merge to work rather than the field names that it showed before, when I go to Mail Merge with a Clients details it does nothing when I click preview.

However I have just discovered if I Mail Merge and preview and it shows nothing but if I then select all the Mail Merge fields and press Shift and F9 they then show the Clients details! Does anyone know what is causing this and a way round so that when I enter the details they show up when I press preview rather than having to press Shift and F9 in order to show?

Another thing to note which I'm not sure is related is the Word documents are opening up in compatibility mode and I'm not sure why this is?

Any help would be appreciated as a week working in a busy office having had to type everything manually is not fun! Everyone elses in the office is working fine as it should, it just seems to be me!

Word 2010 Smart Art - How to copy style info between multiple smart arts?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 02:41 AM PST

I have a document with several smartart hierarchy charts. I created a customized color "Style".  I wish to copy the style to all of the charts.  I don't see any way of saving a custom SmartArt Style.  The custom style does not appear in the other smartarts.  Format painter does not work

I am open to suggestions.

The only workaround I've found so far is a "if you can't beat 'em, cheat!" type solution:
  • select and copy the "good" smartart
  • paste in new location
  • select the "old / bad" smartart
  • display the "Type Your Text pane"
  • Select contents of the pane
  • Copy the contents to clipboard
  • Select the newly pasted "good" smartart
  • Select the "old" contents of the "type your Text pane"
  • paste clipboard to text pane
  • delete the old / bad smartart

Now have new formatting applied to old hierarchy chart details

Pink screen

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 10:07 PM PST

I recently bought Microsoft Office 365 University Edition and I installed it without any trouble. But when I opened Microsoft Word, instead of having the usual white background theme, it was a hot pink colour. If I move the mouse over buttons the buttons itself turns white and everything else stays pink. If I move the mouse over other buttons the white buttons gradually turn back to pink. This is the same with any other program that comes in the university package (e.g. PowerPoint, Excel, etc.). I have tried changing themes for Word and Googled about this problem but no luck. I haven't tried reinstalling it because I don't want to risk anymore trouble. Please help!

Dotted leaders in TOC

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:51 PM PST

The default leader dots are too big and ugly. I can manually change them but doing it for the whole book would take too long. Is there a way to modify them, as one can modify the TOC text? I tried assigning a style to the one I modified but the style does not affect the dotted leaders. (The other lead-in choices are not good either.)

How can I add "Outline View" to the Status Bar in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 07:38 PM PST

Greetings!
I regularly need to switch between Print Layout and Outline View when working with Word. In Word 2013, the Status Bar no longer includes Outline View as one of the three options (Read Mode, Print Layout, and Web Layout). It does not appear that these three options can be changed from the Customize Status Bar option menu. And having to navigate to the View tab in the Ribbon in order to switch to Outline View is not as efficient has being able to click on an icon in the Status Bar. Is there a way to add Outline View to the Status Bar in Word 2013?
Thanks!

Display Word Count of a particular selection in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 04:25 PM PST

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to display, within the document, the total word count of a selected paragraph? Does such a formula or field control exist?

Example:

Paragraph 1:

Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point. When you click Online Video, you can paste in the embed code for the video you want to add. You can also type a keyword to search online for the video that best fits your document.


Word Count: 47


Paragraph 2:

To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and text box designs that complement each other. For example, you can add a matching cover page, header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.Themes and styles also help keep your document coordinated. When you click Design and choose a new Theme, the pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics change to match your new theme. When you apply styles, your headings change to match the new theme.


Word Count: 87


Thanks for any help with this one!

Microsoft Office for Windows 8 doesnt work.

Hi, I'm currently using Windows 8.1, and all my office apps, like Word and Excel were working until a few days ago. Now when I open them, all that comes up is a blankscreen, with no controls available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, but even the installation screen came up blank. My Windows updates are all up to date, so I have no idea what is causing this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Numbered List Combining Right-to-left and Left-to-Right

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 04:22 PM PST


I am trying to create a multi-layered numbered list (2 layered to be precise, the first layer 1, 2. 3 etc, the second a, b, c...) including both English and Arabic and am having some problems.
I need all the numbers using English numerals (if I may call them that to avoid confusion) to be left-to-right but the text following them for those entries which are in Arabic to be right-to-left. Therefore I need to combine both left-to-right and right-to-left in a single line. How do I do this?
Also, how do I manually input numbers that will automatically come in sequence? The automatic function does not work well and keeps starting from 1., even when I click 'Continue numbering' in the AutoFormat tab.
Thank you very much for your help.

About six years ago, I printed business cards via MSWorks

pass as cards perhaps to give to friends.

I wonder if they have improved at all in the interim.
I think the card stock was the biggest disappointment.

Thanks Lads,
I have a nagging feeling I have had this problem
for years, and that there is no solution.
I just put it in the too hard basket.

It may be due to the fact I use all 253 fields
and this may be too large for form view parameters.

One thing I notice, in a small database, in form view
page parameters are shown, in my
large db this does not occur.

Prompted by your replies, I'll kick some tyres.

That old posting you refer to David is exactly my experience
which indicates it does happen across computers.

Cheers

Regarding my previous note. Before you take care of the process I described,
you need to click on the Insert tab (top bar) & click insert a Text Box. Then
you can begin to type whatever text in whatever font & size you want & then
continue with the prcoess below from *** this point on, alright ?? I'm sure
this will do the trick & solve your problem--just as I was able to resolve
mine. Good Luck.

Database 8.0 field options?

Posted: 17 Jul 2007 11:44 AM PDT


Moggie:

I hope I haven't confused you!

I said Works' database can only maintain *one* form and *one* "table." I
then referred to *multiple* forms, and (even worse!) to *blank* forms!

Database forms are only "formats" which you can design for the display of
the data which are stored in the fields of your database. Those data can be
regarded as your database's "contents." It's important to distinguish
between the format which comprises the mere "visual background" or the
"display context" of a form, and the database *contents* (the data!) which
will be displayed *on* that form by your database. You can think of each
database's single form as its "single-record display template."

Forms are "grids" or "matrixes" in which the database will show you the
contents of its records, individually, record-by-record. "List View" shows
the entire database at one time, including *all* records. You can focus
your attention on individual horizontal "rows" of the complete "List View"
display; each of those rows is one "record," in which data may be entered in
multiple fields. You can also focus your attention on individual vertical
"columns" of the complete "List View" display; each of those columns is one
"field." "List View" allows you to see the contents of entire fields of
your database together in one view. It also allows you to scroll through a
display of all of your database's records, but its very limited display
format is less convenient for some types of data-entry, for some types of
data-alteration, or for some types of study of individual records than the
"Form View" format.

"Form View" shows each record *separately,* one at a time, in a format of
your choice. Each record's "database content," its data, will be shown on a
"separate" form. Because you'll see one form for each record you'll notice
that the *data* on those forms will vary, as they'll vary from record to
record, but the *formatting* of all those forms will be *identical* because
each "separate" form is only a copy of the single "form template" which
you've designed. Works database only provides *one* form per database.
When you design each database's single form, you're designing the "common
display format" which that database will then use to show you the "contents"
of *each* of its *many* records. The application will create a separate
copy of that single form for each of your records, so you'll have as many
copies of the form as you have records in each database, but the formatting
of all those many copies will be identical. You can think of that one
common "Form View" format as a "blank form" which the database will "fill
in" for you when it shows you each record's contents. The "blank" form
isn't *empty;* it may be "chock-full" of formatting, including field names
and the "contextual" or "label" text which I've urged you to use, plus other
formatting features, but its fields may be devoid of data, and it can be
regarded as "blank" in that respect, until it's "filled in" with data.

Office - Business Install problem with Snow Leopard

The Product *Key*, which is the 25 character code (maybe a combination of
numbers & letters) provided [most commonly, depending on origin of the
software] on a label affixed to the storage sleeve the source disk ships in.
This is the "code" you enter when installing the software. This is typically
requested for at least 2 reasons; (1) to confirm that the caller does
actually have one, & (2) to determine that it is a valid key code.

Downgrading from Office 2008 for Macs to Office 2004 for Macs

Posted: 13 Dec 2009 12:29 PM PST

Hi Elena;

You've posed a number of questions here so let's see if we can untangle them
one at a time :-)

First, there is no Office 2004 for Windows. Office 2004 is a Mac version,
but both it & Office 2008 are comparable to Office 2003 for Windows. If
you're 'comfortable' with Office 2003 or Office 2004 there's no reason you
can't acclimate to Office 2008 if you give it a little time. The most
significant difference is that there is no VBA in Office 2008, but unless
you need to use Macros that shouldn't pose a problem.

Next, Office 2004 & Office 2008 are separate releases of Mac Office, so yes,
if you have one & want the other you'll have to pay for it... Unless the
vendor you bought 2008 from will allow an exchange, which is unlikely. There
is no "downgrade" option available.

Should you wind up with both versions you can have them both installed at
the same time & use whichever whenever. [The one exception is Entourage...
If you use it at all you can only use one version or the other. Once you
start using Entourage 2008 you can't revert to Entourage 2004. If you were
using 2004 you can upgrade to 2008 at any time or continue using Entourage
2004 as long as you have it installed even though you start using the other
Office 2008 programs.] There's no need to remove either version of Office,
but if you do you're able to re-install it whenever you're ready. Just make
sure to keep the disk & the sleeve with your Product Keys in a safe place.

As far as the distinction between the .doc & the .docx file formats:

Office 2008 can effectively work with either & you can set its default to
..doc if you wish. Keep in mind, though, that the new format is more stable,
more secure & more disk-efficient than the older binary file format, so for
any new documents you create it would be a better choice. The older format
does not support many of the features added in Office 2008, especially with
regard to the more sophisticated graphics features.

Other users continue to use the .doc format because that's what their
existing documents have been saved in. However, any Windows version 2000 or
later & any Mac version v.X or later can open & edit .docx files. Those
users only need the free converters supplied by Microsoft. If they've been
keeping up with their software updates they should already have the
converters whether they realize it or not.

Unfortunately your original post is among those that haven't been replicated

[virtually all of us] have never seen the message. I've looked it up & based
on what you've described this may correct the issue:

If not, go to Word> Preferences> Spelling & Grammar, click the Dictionaries

a space, delete it, then close & save the dictionary file. See if that

The updaters should work on your install, however you might need to

Most cases where the updater fails are tied to some kind of user use of an
application that removes files. Examples of items that will prevent upgrade:
* Monolingual
* Safari fix read the full discussion here
* Xslimmer (Xslimmer strips PPC binaries for Intel Mac's and vice/versa)
* Service Scrubber might be a culprit.
* Drive Genius
* Trim the fat utilities or commands like lipo & ditto

Hi Bob,
 

I haven't tried it myself so I can't be too affirmative but we've had
several reports in the past.
Apparently the serial numbers are not language-specific. They are
universal and work with any install CD.
As long as you have a copy of the install CD at hand, you can install
and reinstall on your Mac just the same way you'd do it with the
language version you originally bought.

Of course, if you need to reinstall, you need the proper install CD. As
you were previously pointing out, you can't convert a version from one
language to the other.

Up to now, updates have been fine.

Sorry to be so snarky. But I am an ASA and that is not the issue here. There is definitely something crazy going between Snow Leopard and Office 10.2.3. The fact that uninstalling office corrected the problem tells me there is something deeper than the OS.
