Microsoft Word - Find and Replace Macro with Yes/No Option

Find and Replace Macro with Yes/No Option

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 02:42 PM PST

I want to create a macro that will find and replace text (example: putting a hard space after a number) but requesting a Yes/No selection with each one it encounters rather than an automatic replace since not all of the encounters will be changed. How can I do that?

Microsoft Word 2013 stops working and shuts down when i save

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 02:38 PM PST

I have recently got the Microsoft Word 2013 package, however often when I go to save a document, the application will stop working, shut down and restart when I save.   This happens most often when I just click save and not so often if I click on 'Save as'.  It has also started shutting down sometimes while I am working on it and I can't see any reason for this.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Word 2007 Template Form

Office 2013 manage start screen

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 01:24 PM PST

I need help with showing only Corporate templates as first thing on the startscreen. 

We have Office 2013 and SharePoint 2010. We also have several custom Corporate templates for Word, excel and powerpoint. 

I know how to show personal templates on the start screen, but...

The problem is that if you in SharePoint chooses "Connect to office", your start screen instead of personal will show custom and there it shows your templates folder, your latest used template and also your SharePoint sites you added as folder with that site's template.


This leads to a quite messy start screen wher it is hard to find your templates among all the other folders. But, the solution to disable the startscreen is not an option (not my decission). So I wonder if there is any other way to customize the start screen?

I know that you have the similar problem if you set the path for workgroup templates.

Is there anything I can do to only show the Corporate templates on the start screen? Registry setting, xml coding for backstage, anything ?


Is there any Microsoft policy on how to manage Corporate templates? I think many Companys would like to have their own templates or themes for ppt shown on the start screen, even if they have share Point or do have workgroup templates.


Best regards

Macro to Insert Footer with Date, Filename, Page x of y

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 01:18 PM PST

In previous versions of Word I always created a simple Macro to insert a footing into my documents.
It would add the date, the filename, and Page x of y as the footing.
Very simple. Very easy to create. Worked without a hitch.

I am now trying to do that with Office 365. And encountering far more problems than seem reasonable.
So before I go any further I thought I'd post to see if there was an easier way to do this?
A template? A different footer style?  etc. etc. 

Otherwise I can post my steps and the results I'm getting.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Word 2010 Cover Page templates

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 12:11 PM PST

I have Office 2013, but I used to have 2010 when I started a course.

 

The course I am taking is requiring me to use a Cover Page template that was in 2010, but is apparently no longer in 2013.  How can I get it?!

 

The instructions say "Insert a Cover Page that uses the Puzzle style."

 

I've Googled, but can't find anything.

 

Help please, I don't want to ask my IT dept to uninstall 2103, reinstall 2010, and then reinstall 2013 again.

 

 

 

How to create a new Word 2010 template with function

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 11:18 AM PST

Am using Word 2010.  Want to create a NEW template that will have the file name in the footer.  Yes, I know how to create a footer, then insert the file name function.  But what I really want is a brand new Word 2010 template that contains the function f(n) in the footer. Just like the template normal.dot contains my selections for font and size when opened as a new document.  Have tried numerous suggestions but I always seem to end up with the file name "document #.doc" in teh footer instead of teh new, saved  file name.   Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Word 2010 freezes entire laptop when saving

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 09:28 AM PST

A few weeks ago I started having problems saving. Certain documents (only one of them for a while, then later a second one started doing it) would freeze Word for about a minute after I saved. These documents were both connected to Skydrive, but I was working on them in my Word program. Since I save regularly while working, it got annoying to be interrupted by such long saves! Wondering if it was the document itself, I created a brand new document and pasted all the other stuff into the new one. This solved the problem for a few days, and then it went back to freezing.

Eventually I uninstalled Word and then reinstalled it minutes later. Now the problem is worse! While my previously saved documents don't freeze when saving anymore (at least, not yet), any time I start a brand new document and try saving it, almost every time it'll freeze my entire laptop. The "Save" window doesn't finish loading, and then its not responding and Word stops responding. Some other programs, like Skype, freeze, while others continue as normal. I can't use my keyboard, so I can't ctrl-alt-delete. Trying to right click on Word to close it doesn't work, and trying to shut down or restart the laptop doesn't work either. The only way I can get out of this is holding down the power button until the laptop shuts down.

Should I uninstall and reinstall again?? Or something else I can do to fix this??

macro add page - copy and paste table to created page.....

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 09:09 AM PST

Am converting a Word template with form fields in a protected section at the top and unprotected section below to a read-only document with content controls replacing the form fields.  The contents of the page is a table which needs to be replicated multiple times.  I have selected the rows and end of cell markers as well as a paragraph mark directly below the table as 'editable'.  The table pretty much fills the page.   I have a macro which copies the table, inserts a page break and pastes the contents to the newly created page.  It works with the exception that when I lock the file down and initiate the macro, the first paste works file, but when initiating the sequence a second time, I get a run-time error '4605', This method or property is not available because the document is locked for editing..... There is a paragraph mark below the last cell in the second page, but it has lost the brackets making it editable.  Is there a way in the code that I can ensure that the paragraph mark below the table is not only editable with each replication, but there as well?

 

 Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveDocument.Tables(2).Select
    Selection.Copy
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
    Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
    Selection.Paste
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Old MS Version Form

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 09:06 AM PST

I made up a form letter in Word '98 or 2003 (I can't remember).  Each year I have to alter only certain information.  I made this a form in which I was able to highlight the necessary information.  Then I restricted the editing as a form.  When I would use the doc the next year, I could just tab to each place needing updates.  I'm now using Word 2010 and can't find how to do this anymore.  I can un-restrict it just fine, but can't seem to add new information.  Also, we are about to go to Windows 7, so I hope I don't go through this again.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

A change I make to the Word 2010 template does not remain

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 08:40 AM PST

Dear Friends,
I have tried several times to make a permanent change to my Word template, but it does not stay changed.  In the Advanced Properties box, under the Summary tab, the Company field is populated with "Hewlett-Packard Company."  I have deleted it and saved the change to the Word template (normal.dotm), but every time I create a new Word document and go into the Advanced Properties box, the HP name is still there.  I want the Advanced Properties in my Word template to contain just my name (which I already put in).  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Joel

Saving Styles

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 08:28 AM PST

I have saved a formatted word document both as a template and as a quick style. My goal is to import a mindmap into word and then use quick styles to set the formatting to what I want. My problem with my current approach is 1. the template has words and it would require me to paste the imported document into the template and move the text around (surely there's an easier way?) and 2. saving as a quick style doesn't actually seem to save any of the formatting I've created in the document. For the second one, I've gone to the change style -> select style set -> and save it as a quick style. The formatting doesn't transfer (for some reason it's normal all over again).  Does anyone know a fix? 

Whenever I copy a table, the paragraph has a 1.5 inch left indent. It is not getting this indent from the style. Deleting Normal template did not fix it.

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 08:15 AM PST

I know I created a template a while ago that DID use a 1.5 indent for the normal style, but ever since then, when I copy a table, I get the 1.5 indent even when using other templates. I have tried renaming the normal template to normal_old and restarting Word, but the did not do anything. I'm getting fed up having to edit the paragraph formatting each time I copy something...

I need to know if it is possible to drag and drop an image from MS Word into any other program.

Compatibility of Microsoft Word forms across different OS and MS word versions

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 06:23 AM PST

I am a newbie in MS Word 2010 forms. We have a requirement in which we need to create forms and ask our customers to fill those forms. Most of the form elements would be long text fields for essay type questions , or simple text fields for (name, title, date etc). We are worried about the compatibility of these forms across different versions of Word and different Operating systems (Mac, Windows XP , Vista, 7 etc). (We didn't have a good experience with PDF forms due to compatibility issues.)

Would you please advice on best practices? Points that we need to take care of.
thank you

Issues with Word which Microsoft refuse to assist with.

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 03:45 AM PST

I have a big problem with Microsoft's service, or in this case total lack of service. 

Yesterday I spent 8 hours working on a Word document. 
This morning I opened the file to resume work and was faced with the following message. 'Your file could not be uploaded to the server, do you wish to keep your file, or the server file?' Not knowing exactly what this meant I chose 'your file' - when I opened the file all of the work had gone! 
Needless to say I was devastated. 
So the first thing I did was contact customer support. 
This was a hugely frustrating experience. 
My goal was simple - I needed to get the file back. 
But I also need to find out how this happened. 
It is a serious issue. When you save a file, you expect it to be secure. This is the most basic requirement of any software. 

The 'help desk' was anything but helpful. As the software was bundled with the Notebook, they said that I had to take this up with the manufacturers. 
I pointed out that this was an issue with their software and their servers. Also, that I needed the issue dealt with promptly as the file was important - I have a tight deadline to meet. The guy on the 'help' desk was anything but helpful and just kept repeating the same stock lines that he had obviously given to him in training. Finally he offered to sign me up to the 'Premium service' to look at the files on my computer. When I asked if this would cost me he said yes £65! At this point, my jaw hit the floor. Charge me £65 to 'attempt' to recover a file when the issue was with Microsofts service? 

I also wanted to know how this happened at all, and needed some basic answers to basic questions about the security of the software. 

It was clear that I was getting nowhere, and the guy just kept repeating the stock lines rather than genuinely trying to resolve the issue. 

In the end, and with the last bit of salt he had left to rub into the wound he hoped that I would have a 'nice day'.

So here are my questions, if anyone here can help me:

First - is there anyway I can recover this file?

Second, I really need to know that working on any windows document is secure. I am totally paranoid now that if I work on a file that there is a chance that that file can be lost. Is there anyway that I can securely save files?

Thirdly, I am appalled by Microsoft's service. The issue is entirely their fault. There are clearly issues with the efficiency of their software and their service that they need to take responsibility for and treat their customers with some respect in attempting to resolve these issues. So where do I go to put in a complaint? 

I hope that someone out there can help me with this.... 

thanks in anticipation

Word scale to paper size is having trouble with image

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 02:43 AM PST

Hi,

 

A colleague has created a document on A3 but they would also like to print a copy on A4. We used the scale to paper size option but instead of working as it usually does it gave us an A4 sheet with some of the original data in the top right corner and the rest of the page blank. It seemed to have taken the amount of text that would fit on A4 if you simply laid an A4 sheet over the A3 sheet then it had scaled that down but ignored everything else.

 

I had a play with the document to try and see what was going on and discovered the problem was caused by an empty text box in the header which was sitting behind the company logo. When I removed this text box the scale to paper size will now work correctly except it does not print the company logo - just ignores it entirely. After a bit more play I have found that if I move the logo far enough to the left (between half way and three quarters of the way along) it will then print. But obviously it prints where it is and we really want the logo on the top right or it looks rather odd!

 

I have no idea why it is having such an issue with the logo and haven't managed to find anything online. Does anyone have any ideas? Incidentally the logo has not been resized in word it is already the correct size. I have also tried moving it from the header to the main body but the same thing happens and it prints fine as the original A3 size.

 

Thanks

MS Word 2013 spellcheck

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 10:27 PM PST

I'm running Office 2013 but after I updated to windows 8.1, Office 2010 appeared. Whenever I opened documents from say, emails, etc, they would default open with the 2010 version. since this was frustrating and I saw no reason to keep it, I uninstalled Office 2010. Since then, spell check has not worked in MS Word. I have followed all the other advice I have read including making sure 'do not check spelling and grammar' is unchecked and setting the proofing language. 

I'm not even sure that this is linked to me uninstalling 2010, but that's all I can think of.

Any advice/guidance would be gratefully received, 

Matt

Microsoft Word Has Stopped Working—Windows is checking for a solution for this problem

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 09:10 PM PST

HI All

I bought the Office 2013 a few months back and from the start there has always been a problem with Microsoft Word.

So I open up Word and press blank document. After a while, a message appears saying Microsoft Word Has Stopped Working—Windows is checking for a solution for this problem. After that it goes, Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information. Microsoft Word is restarting. This has happened from the start till now. I have dealt with this problem by holding on Ctrl every time I go on Word aand this takes me to safe mode. But on safe mode I am unable to access all the features of Word 2013 so I really need a answer to this problem.

Thank you all for helping

How do you Continue Drawing/Handwriting on Page 2 of a Word doc?

Posted: 19 Jan 2014 03:54 PM PST

I'm using Ink Tools combined with my Wacom digital tablet so that I can draw mathematical equations and formulas on a Word doc.  Everything works normally until I've filled the first page of my doc.  I know that if I'm typing, I simply continue and Word automatically advances my cursor to the next page once I run out of space on the sheet I'm typing on.  

But when I'm writing, Word doesn't seem to do that.  My objective is to create a single document with several pages of handwritten/drawn equations.

Is there a setting so that when I'm handwriting, Word will automatically advance to the next page?  
Or is there a method of manually advancing the cursor to the next page when I'm drawing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

How do I convince Office to upgrade myOffice 2008 Home and Student to Office 2008Business?

Posted: 17 Mar 2010 06:31 AM PDT

One of the pitfalls of using the miserable Mactopia Forums web UI ‹ the
message you're replying to has never been seen by most responders. I'm
citing the original post for the benefit of others as well as yourself:
 

There is no "upgrade" from one edition of Office 2008 to another. They are
differently licensed packagings of Office & must be purchased separately. If
you do, you must properly remove the Home/Student Edition plus certain other
files in order to successfully install the Business Edition.

If you do have to make the replacement see topics #1, #2 & (if needed) #5 on
this page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/install/index.html

There is no "10.1.4 of Office 2004" :-) Office 2004 is version 11.x.x

The first thing I'd suggest is that you run Help> Check for Updates from the
menu of any Office app.

If you have any problems please post a NEW mesage rather than sticking a 'me
too' REPLY onto a thread of another user. (Reply to posted messages from
others only if you have a suggestion or solution to offer.) Be sure to
accurately indicate exactly what version & update level of Office you're
using as well as specific details pertinent to your situation.

A newer version Microsoft Office 2008 is already installed

Hi

For some reason I can't see the postings at the beginning of this
thread. I surmise you are trying to switch from Home and Student or the
free trial to Microsoft Office Business Edition.

The message is trying to tell you that in order to install a different
edition you must first use the Remove Office tool and remove the edition
that's currently installed. The "newer" refers to updates that you have
installed, but "newer" really isn't the issue here. You need to start
fresh with the Business Edition software, as it has more features.

If the Business Edition installer does not offer to remove the existing
copy of Office, you'll find the Remove Office tool in Applications >
Microsoft Office 2008 > Additional Tools > Remove Office folder. Use the
Remove Office tool to remove the current edition. Restart your computer
and then empty the trash before running the installer for Business Edition.

Be sure to let the updates happen. Your Entourage identities will work
again once all the updates are installed. Install any MacOS updates
(Apple menu > Software Update) too, as Microsoft and Apple work together
to fix certain bugs. Despite all the hype to the contrary, it is
essential to both companies to have Microsoft Office on the Mac working
in top form. System updates can work hand-in-hand with Office updates.

When all this installing is done, head to Applications > Utilities >
Disk Utility. Repair permissions for sure, and verify the hard drive for
good measure.

Lastly, also in the Utilities folder is Font Book. This Apple utility
can resolve duplicate fonts and validate them. Font issues are a
frequent cause of problems, lately, and you can avoid these problems if
you resolve duplicates and validate your fonts.

Upgrade Office 2008 - Home & Student to Business Edition

Posted: 02 Mar 2010 10:09 AM PST

I did not download. What concerned me:

: original op didn't explain the problem
: original op declared, essentially, "just download this and all is well".

Sounds too perfect. Similar to the spam I get and ignore (but sadly too
many do not ignore).

I guess I'm just a cynic.

Yes that's why it's very strange because in same time that it doesn't work

It occurs in all document including newly created ones but not all the time.
When i start there is no problem and suddenly there is the problem and i have

Thank you for your help.

Word to PDF

Hi Michael,

It is still possible to create folder actions without using Automator.
You can do it using AppleScript. You would create a script that
accomplishes the same thing: Opens the document in Word and then saves
the document as PDF.

I don't know AppleScript well enough to give you a step-by-step but I
don't think it would be many more steps than using Automator. This isn't
exactly the wording, but it would go something like:

Tell Application Microsoft Word Open as Document
Save As Format PDF
Close Document

Head to this web site for more details
http://developer.apple.com/applescript

Really, AppleScript is not that hard to use if you just need to do
something quick like this. There are plenty of examples.

If so, can it 

You can update any application for free, but you can't upgrade without
purchasing.

An update takes you from 10.0 to 10.1.9
An upgrade would be to install either Office 2004 or Office 2008.

If you don't need Exchange you can get Office 2008 very reasonably from
Amazon with free shipping. $109.99 (price can vary slightly)

G'day Yetta,
you would like to delete just the "history" reference right?

Just open another document, then close it.
the reference you want to remove will drop one down the list

Repeat until the ref disappears.

There may be a way of doing this through "Tweak UI"
but I cannot recall the procedure.

Works 8.5 trouble opening Works 6 files

Problem Solved!
Knowledge Base article 933828 reports a Works pringing error for
version 8.5, and does not mention the problem regarding failing on
loading a database file. But the patch does fix that problem!
Get the patch here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933828/ .

Thanks Ken. It worked. I don't think the email program was Outlook Express,
but it might have been. In either case, I found the file. When I clicked on
it, a separate utility opened up allowing me to export the addresses and
later import them into the new Outlook Express. Worked out better than I had
hoped. Thanks again!

I get a similar error when using Works 4.5 under XP with an older HP laser

after, but I still get my document printed.

If you are using an HP printer, check their web site. I believe there are
other drivers that will work with the older laser jets that don't play well
with XP.

Works 8 vs Works 9

Posted: 31 Aug 2007 10:02 AM PDT

Hi Wilbur,

It depends on what use you put Works to.

Works 9.0 - new features:

Task Pane added to the RHS of the screen for the WP, DB and SS.
Included in this task pane is:

MRU list of the users documents.

Link to quickly browse documents and templates

Link to create new documents

Context sensitive 'Tip of the day' appears in the Task Pane.

Integrated Live Search in the WP, DB and SS, allowing web searches
without the need to leave the Works application. Results are displayed
in the Web browser.

Integration with Office 2007 converters which will allow the users
to open and save to:

o WP: .docx, .docm and .doc

o SS: .xlsx, xlsb and .xls

Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007

Integration with Microsoft Update

Vista Calendar integration which will allow a user to import
appointments from Vista's Calendar.

Opportunity to enrol in the Microsoft's Customer Experience
Improvement Program.

The calendar now supports up to 32 Calendars; Works 8, had 4
calendars.

From the Works Hitlist we see :

Proofing tools - the English version supports Spanish, French and
German.

WP retains number formatting during mail merge

WP mail-merges directly from XLR files (formatting not retained).

Calendar has customisable font size - when a user prints the month
view of the calendar, they can choose between 3 different font sizes:
small, medium and large).

The OEM will not provide Microsoft Works either & to buy it from other
