Microsoft Word - Need a macro to enclose selection in quotation marks

Microsoft Word - Need a macro to enclose selection in quotation marks

Need a macro to enclose selection in quotation marks

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 03:07 PM PST

Those who know me know that, while I am not VBA-averse, I am VBA-impaired, so I tend to just plug along with manual solutions rather than "bother with" a macro (which would require my asking someone to create one).

 

But now I'm dealing with a manuscript with several hundred endnotes in which the author has italicized the names of newspaper articles. What would be infinitely helpful would be a macro that would do this to a selection:

  1. Apply the Default Paragraph Font (i.e., ResetChar).
  2. Add an opening double quote at the beginning of the selection and a closing double quote at the end.

That's the sum of it. I've already been able to use a global Replace to replace "Courier" (roman) with "Fairhope Courier" (italic) and "pg" with "p."--and all other tweaks are individual and not subject to any kind of automation. But the above-described macro would save a heckuva lot of time!

Popup window doesn't go away

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 02:43 PM PST

When viewing a document showing markups and I mouse over an insertion, a popup window appears that shows the author of the insertion as well as the inserted content, and the popup usually disappears when the mouse is moved away. But sometimes the popup does not clear, and I have to close not only the document but the entire Word program to make it disappear from my screen. It think the same happens if I mouse over a deletion rather than an insertion. Why does it happen? How do I stop it please?   TIA .... Greg

Why does the View mode change from Print Layout to Draft?

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 02:37 PM PST

When viewing a document in print layout mode and showing the final document with markups, sometimes - randomly it seems - Word changes the document view to Draft. The comments that were on the right hand side of the window then appear at the bottom of the window. Why does this happen? How do I stop it happening please?   TIA .... Greg 

Why does the page scroll when it shouldn't?

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 02:33 PM PST

I use EndNote and the problem occurs when I am viewing my document with markup. It seems to happen after some background process finishes running, e.g. spellcheck, or an EndNote routine (but if so, not one in which new intext citations must be processed or the bibliography updated) . The position of the text in the window is moved, sometimes by more than an entire page. Perhaps another way of describing this is to say the scroll point is changed. This is very off-putting when it happens whilst studying a particular line of text on the screen. It has happened when the EndNote program did not appear to be open. Is there a fix for this please?  TIA .... Greg

Two numbering systems

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 02:27 PM PST

Hello, I wonder if I can number my points with 2 numbering systems. For example, there are two sections in my document, the first section has 10 points being numbered 1 to 10 and the second section has 10 points as well being numbered 1 to 10. Each section are numbered in roman numeral (I and II).

Is there a way that I can develop another numbering system (count) numbering the first point in the first section to the last point in the second section 1 to 20?

Thanks!

Using Mail Merge Features in Subject Line of an Email

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 02:21 PM PST

I just learned to use mail merge in Word 2010, using data from an Excel 2010 spreadsheet, to send personalized emails from template through my Outlook 2010 account.  Mail Merge seems very useful, but perhaps the most important thing to personalize in a sales email is the subject line.  

Is there a way to insert custom information into a subject line using mail merge for office 2010?

As an example, I would like to have a subject like  "Does <<your company>> accept online payments?", but have mail merge replace "<<your company>>" with the company names contained in my spreadsheet.   

Is this possible? If not does anyone know of any free add-ons I can download to make this work?

using ordinal switches in a macro

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 01:09 PM PST

Hi!

 

I am using the following macro and everything works fine except for the ordinal switches. The VBA code checker is not accepting the asterik used in the normal switch for ordinals.

 

Sub AutoNew()
'
'
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TimeA"
Selection.InsertBefore Format((Date + 1), "MMMM d" \ ordinal)
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TimeB"
Selection.InsertBefore Format((Date + 3), "MMMM d" \ ordinal)

End Sub

 

Can you help me?

 

Thanks for any help that you can give me!

Building blocks that include a comment don't consistently bring in the comment.

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 12:28 PM PST

I'm updating a template for my team by adding building blocks for text that we use frequently. When the text includes a link, we need to specify the target in a comment for our Production team. When I test the template on my machine, it works. When a colleague tests it, she gets the boilerplate with the link, so building block is in the shared template,  but she cannot get the comment. I always get the comment and can't reproduce the problem.


I had her make sure she's showing either All Markup or Simple Markup. Still no comments.


We are all running Office 2013 with all updates, on Windows 8.1 with all updates.


Any ideas as to what is going on?

automatic spellchecker not working on template used with old Word and Vista

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 12:13 PM PST

I am building a client a MSWord template, I've been using Word 2010/Windows 7, then I find out they are having issues with using it (slow typing response speed and automatic spellchecker not working) and they tell me they are using earlier Word version and Windows Vista. I've saved the template as a MSWord 97-2003 doc and that seems to have solved most of the problems but not the automatic spellchecking - does anyone know what I can do to help them with this?

Finding AutoRecovery / Autosave in Word 2013

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 11:52 AM PST

Microsoft Word 2013 is equipped with an autosave feature that saves the document automatically if you do not save it.  However, for the autosave feature to work, you need to save the document at least once after creating it.

If your Windows operating system crashes while you were working with Microsoft Word 2013 and you forgot to save the document at regular intervals, then majority of the work done is saved by the Autosave feature. When you restart the Windows and launch Microsoft 2013, you will be presented with an option to save document you were working on.



1. Select the saved version of the document

The saved version opens in a new window. The saved version file name generally has a suffix (autosaved).

2. Save the document with appropriate name, or continue to work on the document.


Word 2013 also presents user with an Autorecover functionality to save all unsaved work.

1. Open a Word document.

2. Click on File to go to Backstage View in Word 2013

3. Go to Manage Versions and click on it.

4. Click on Recover unsaved documents.

A dialog box pops up which presents you're with list of unsaved documents that can be recovered

5. Select the document you want to recover

6. Click on Open

The unsaved document opens and you are presented with an option to save the document

7. Click on Save As to save the document.



Here are some additional resources:

Error 25090 when starting Word 2003?

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 11:24 AM PST

I keep getting this error along with a system error (-2147023838) when starting Word 2003 on XP SP3 with latest updates.

I use the install program to fix errors/repair and it still occurs after a while.  I've repaired it at least 3 times.  I'm the only user on this computer.  I've heard multiple users can cause these errors.  I have reinstalled it at least once I think, to try to get rid of this error.  


99% of Microsoft links are not helpful I find.  Maybe I'm incredibly dense but I find most people have the same reaction to the content.  I can google them easily and waste hours reading very poorly written "solutions" that just protect Microsoft from legal action.  Please just state probable solutions from your experience.  Much appreciated and so are all the thousands of others that will read this in the future with the same problem.  Solution links not controlled by Microsoft often just list the solutions without wrapping Microsoft in a warm, protective, cuddly, litigation free blanket.  They are most welcome.  

Word 2013 normal.dotm styles

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 10:53 AM PST

Everyone has Office 365 locally installed.   I need to edit the style for the normal.dotm template that Word uses.   Whenever changes are made to the style and I try to save to template for documents going forward the style changes are not saved. 


I can do this on my personal laptop w/o issue.  I am using Office 13 32 bit stand alone not installed from Office 365.  I am also on Windows 8.1


The office uses Windows 7 Pro 64bit  and it looks like  Office 365 installed the 64 bit version of Office.


I managed to back door this by editing the normal.dotm directly. 

 

Any suggestions as to why style changes cannot be saved to the normal.dotm.

Formatting text inside of shapes inserted into Word 2010

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST

Does anyone know if I can turn off the wrap text feature when typing text inside of an inserted shape in Word 2010? When I type text inside of a shape (in this case an oval), I cannot get the shape size I want (rather small) without it wrapping the text automatically or cutting off the text at the bottom. If I increase the text size, it wraps automatically.

MSWord 2007 Alt-Text disappearing

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 07:58 AM PST

HI

 

I'm using MSWord 2007 and I've noticed that my Alt-Text keeps disappearing. I believe it's happening whenever I add a new element to the image. For example, if I have an image with Alt-Text and then I add a callout to the image and then group it, the Alt-Text is gone. I have to re-enter the information. What happened to the original text?...why does it keep disappearing?  Does anyone know why and what I should do to prevent this from happening again?  .... other than not adding Alt-Text until I've finalized all of the elements for the image.

 

Thank you, Marion

Copy partial content of XLS file into Word document

Sharepoint 2010 co-authoring in word web app (co-authoring in general with some users in word 2007)

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 06:14 AM PST

So it seems that when using sharepoint 2010 you're unable to co-author documents in the word web app. Which basically is the whole reason we're using sharepoint on this project. We have users all over the country that are part of the same project that have varying access rights. Some users will need to modify the same document while others will not be allowed to see said document. The issue is that some of our users are using word 2007 which doesn't support co-authoring so the next logical step seemed to be using the web app. 

All this aside it seems skydrive works for co-authoring in the web app. The rope is that skydrive will require me to send invitations out to everyone for all the documents that I need to have co-authoring on. Otherwise I have to use a "open" link which anyone could theoretical access. We're trying to keep things contained within sharepoint is what I'm trying to get at. If there was a way to have sharepoint point to the document on skydrive but still maintain the same permissions as were setup in sharepoint that would be ideal.

I'm hoping this is enough information for someone to understand the problem that I'm having. 

Is there any workaround for this?

Autonumbering 'ghosts'

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 04:15 AM PST

An office mate of mine has an interesting problem with autonumbering.  I know I've seen this, before, but can't remember how we solved it:

 

"I recently auto-numbered a document.  

It is repeating section 7.2 for each line, even when it is formatted differently and shows the correct number on the line.

This only happens when it's printed.  

The regular view of the document does not include the extra numbers.  

But when printing it shows."

 

Anyone have a solution?  (I think we have Windows 8.  I know we have Office 2010.)

Creating a macro to not save a document

Posted: 21 Jan 2014 04:08 AM PST

Hey all

I have an autonew / autoopen macro running which basically pulls in a number style into any document I create or open.  Because of this, however, even if I don't make changes to a document myself, Word sees the import of the style as a change and asks me whether I want to save or not when I'm leaving the document. 

This is only a minor annoyance, but I was wondering if there was some way around it.  I won't always want to save a document, particularly if it's a new one that I've opened and now don't need.  Is there a command I could put at the end of my macros that will replicate selecting save and then saying that I don't want to save (making Word happy that I can close down the document then without any further prompts to save unless I actually make changes myself).

Word 2013 not saving recipient address or attachments when composing an e-mail

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 11:53 PM PST

Hello,

When creating an e-mail in Word 2013, then saving it (as a.doc/.docx document), both the recipient's address and (eventual) attachments are not saved inside the created file, and as such not available anymore when you reopen it.

In previous versions of Word, this was not the case.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. In word 2013, create a new document.
  2.  Using the "Send to mail recipient" button (which is not on the ribbon by default), show e-mail related fields (To, Cc, Subject, ...)
  3. Write your e-mail, including a recipient and a subject, then attach a file.
  4. Use "Save as..." (.doc or .docx, it doesn't matter) then close it.
  5. Open it again: recipient address and attachment are gone.
The same steps in a previous Word version (I tried with Word 2003) work fine and all data is saved as expected.

If you open with Word 2013 a file created and saved in eg. Word 2003, recipient address and attachments are there. If you save it again from Word 2013, attachments are stripped, but recipient address is kept!

This stripping behavior makes think of some security option, but I was unable to locate any way to influence this behavior.

How to configure Word the keep the complete e-mail data when saving, as it used to do in earlier versions?

Thank you very much for any useful input!

Gday guys and gals,
My girlfriend has spent weeks upon weeks writing out a 50pg + paper for uni, and she went to save it today on her 2013 Word by clicking the save icon on the top left, and she closed the document down. She went to open it up to send it, and it's gone!

I have gone to file > open > recover unsaved documents;
However nothing is there to open.

Part of this paper was a part of a template she had to download online, and fill it out if that helps at all.
I've just spent 2 hours going through every folder on her computer, including a few hidden folders / app data / roaming / temp data, etc, and still can't find it!

She has a HP laptop,
here are a few details of her processor;

AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon(TM) HD graphics 2.00GHz
4GB ram, 62bit operating system, windows 8.

If theres anything else you guys need, please don't hesitate to ask, anyone who can help us here I'd forever be in your debt haha, she needs to hand this in next week, and it will be impossible for her to finish it remotely close to the same standard. Please help!

I'm trying to run a macro in MS excel to help me with some formatting (Output file – Word 2010).

Posted: 20 Jan 2014 09:06 PM PST


I'm trying to run a macro in MS excel to help me with some formatting (Output file – Word 2010). Everything works fine but bookmark names will automatically change to "location of the document". What would be the problem?

For example.

Here I have bookmarked "Hi How are you" to the same. I gave a name "A1", which will automatically change to "File:///d:\users\desktop\hi how are you.docx#A1"

Where in, D drive, saved on desktop and the file name with docx mention in it.

Hi How are you

 

Hi How are you

 

File:///d:\users\desktop\hi how are you.docx#A1


Please someone help me with this... That would be great..

Thanks a ton in advance!!!

Where is the Groupwise Archive Location Found

Posted: 07 Dec 2005 06:07 PM PST

Hi,

I'm part of a consulting team migrating 8 hospitals in Northern
Virginia from Groupwise to Exchange. The current way of determining
the Groupwise E-mail archive location is to have a tech physically
visit the workstation a user is logged on, open the client, got to
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> File Location and take a screenshot.
The information is then entered into a spreadsheet visually from a
paper copy.

Apparently they have a tool to convert the archives once they are found
and if we techs find them on the local machine we are supposed to move
them to a Network server.

My question is, doesn't this information, say the path H:\archive\
exist in some text or binary file either locally or on the network or
both and is therefore retrievable for the spreadsheet?

Does anybody know of a free tool to do this? Alternatively I should
mention they have a programmer on staff, can anyone give me
instructions I can relay to him to write a script?

Exchange 5.5 & ISINTEG

Posted: 07 Dec 2005 11:43 AM PST

Paul,

Sadly, it appears that they did not have backups... there are a myriad of
issues with this client and that is one of them.

Yes, we tried eseutil /p prior to the isinteg.

The users are having a few different errors - some users (those that appear
to have 0 size folders) simply get unable to connect or unable to open folder
when they try opening their mailbox in Outlook. Others apparently can open
their email but don't see all their email and/or are receiving email directed
to others.

Right now we found a copy of their priv.edb file from 11/22/05 and have
replaced it in the directory and are doing another eseutil /p. (I've left
the site at this point) - it found some inconsistencies in the scan and was
repairing the database tables when we left.

I know that the short/best solution would likely be to accelerate their
upgrade to Win2003 Server & Exchange 2003... (and that the upgrade should
have been done a few months ago).

I have copies of the EDB as it was this evening prior to my replacement with
the older file as well.

How to search for hidden users

Posted: 07 Dec 2005 10:07 AM PST

We have hidden users under two circumstances. There are accounts and DLs
that we don't want to appear in the GAL. An example is the Black Hole DL we
have for e-mails to accounts that do not exist to prevent NDRs and keep them
out of the administrator's mailbox. Also, when an employee leaves, we
disable their accounts for 30 days before deleting them. This gives
management and others time to review their mailbox for needed e-mails.

In both cases, we don't want them to appear in the GAL when users want to
select addressees...

Thanks for looking into this for me, but guess what - a simple "detect and

Does anyone know if "Detect and Repair" leaves a log of what it did, would

Question setting up Exchange 5.5 Migration test environment

Posted: 05 Dec 2005 06:27 AM PST

Hi Martin -

Thanks for the reply. I had already considered DNS as a potential problem
but went through your checklist anyway.

1. The test network is isolated from the rest of the world except for web
traffic so that we can get to Windows Update and other update sites.
2. The client is pointing to the correct DNS server.
3. We don't use the hosts files. The only entry is for localhost.
4. The correct DNS records exist. (I don't have any MX records in DNS for
the test network but I don't intend to do any mail transfer.)

Now here's the kicker. Yesterday, after posting the problem, I shutdown the
server so that I could image it. I booted it this morning and made sure that
all the Exchange services were running. I went to the client and deleted the
Outlook profile. I then added a new profile and it worked OK - it accepted
the name of the server on the test network. I was able to start Outlook and
send / receive mail.

Now, the only thing that is different today rather than yesterday is that
today all of the Exchange services are running whereas yesterday only the
System Attendant, Directory, and Information Store services were running per
KB article 155216. Would the addition of the Event Service or the Message
Transfer Agent Service have ANY posssible impact on this?

Thanks for any light you could possibly shed on this!

Each set of Office CD has a unique set of numbers. Did you purchase Office
XP separately or was it preinstalled on a computer when you bought it? (It
makes a difference.)

(And please lower your caps. It's considered shouting and that's not a nice
thing to do when you are asking for help. Unless you are bleeding - and in
that case Office's product key shouldn't be high on your list of priorities.

Installing Office XP Standard on a new computer

Posted: 18 Mar 2006 05:01 AM PST

You're right about that!

I had two HDD's, one 40GB (the old system drive) that I wanted to keep, and
one 200GB that I formatted right away and wanted to use as my new system
drive. When installing WinXP, it seems that WinXP still regarded the 40GB as
a system drive, even though it installes itself on the 200GB. I found that
out when I now decided to format both drives and reinstall. When I commanded
WinXP setup to remove the old partition on the 40GB, it warned me that it
contained crucial system information (or something along those lines...). So
my personal guess is that that's where the hiccup was.

Now everything is clean and smooth running; Office is in place and my old
data is sitting on a DVD-ROM I burned before the first try. Oh well ...

As I know, the release date of Office 2007 is by the end of 2006. As these

yet. However, as soon as it becomes available it will be published to the

Actually, I think the "automatic" bit is being done (on our systems) by
Custom Installation Wizard (CIW) which we set to install per machine, so it
may NOT be the default. It's a while since I set this up, but if you check
the deployment guide and the help screens of the CIW you should find the
setting for this. I think CIW basically passes the ALLUSERS value to the MSI

Office March Update KB905756 Error #1646

Posted: 15 Mar 2006 10:04 AM PST

Hi Chad,

Apologies, I had not seen you had quoted the error number in your original
post.

1646 is usually associated with trying to UNINSTALL a patch, so it's very
odd you are getting this error.

So you downloaded the patch, installed as an Administrator, accepted the
license and then got 1646??

Are you sure you have Excel 2003 SP1 or SP2 installed on your machine? Did
you try downloading the patch again?

and then you tried to uninstall it. Off 2003 same story? 
Hello Peter et al,

The server is running Small Business Server 2003 (with exchange 2003).
The sever can (sometimes, it seems) deploy Outlook 2003 to a client
computer. I tried this, using the ConnectComputer feature, etc and the
install aborted. I did not try to remove any software on the client PC
at the time I tried to "deploy" Outlook 2003 to the client.

the user is/was uing Office XP Pro 2002. I also noticed that someone
had previously installed Office 2000 on this same workstation.
For what it is worth, I checked the date on the Office XP setup.exe, it
is 2001.

The user was running Office XP Pro and using the version of Outlook that
comes with Office XP. This was connected to their exchange server, he
could send and receive email.

the user then had a problem opening an email on his machine, this locked
his system, requiring a forced (i.e. unplug computer) reboot. He then
tried to "repair" Office XP using the repair feature of Office XP - no
luck.

This is when we decided to uninstall Office XP and install Office 2003.
The user does have admin privileges. the uninstall was tried as
"Administrator" and as the user. The uninstall failed in for both
users. The same for the install (probably not a good idea to try an
install on this system, and it failed).

That is about the story here.

Hopefully this will give some useful information (other than some
stupidity, etc!)

Thanks,

eric

I'm afraid not. Uninstalling the OpenGL libraries breaks *LOTS* of

NVidia installer detects the missing files and silently fails to install its

It's an *AMAZINGLY* complex, and fundamentally stupid, installer, forced to

Ahh. Dual hosting. You were having problems with "ping", though. Solve that
problem first.
 

So you want to plug eth1 in, and have it be another IP address on the same
subnet, right? Were you intending to make the Samba server show up as two
distinct servers, and each serve different content?

If not, don't bother. Since the IP addresses are on the same subnet, the
Samba server will try to report both of them as the same server name unless
you get very cute in your setups, and cause all *SORTS* of interenting
interlocks between IP addresses each pretending to be the same server and
sharing the same file locking and file accesses.

However, it should be possible to add the second IP address and run *OTHER*
high bandwidth services from the other addresses. If you run heavily used
NFS or HTTP or FTP or DNS services, putting them on another IP address and
separate 100BaseT network seems reasonable.

If eth1 is physically working, it should be possibly to duplicatge
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1, edit it
appropriately, and restart your network with the init script to see if the
other port works correctly.

It automagically detected everything: sound, video, mouse, network ...
on one of these $197 Fry's no-name AMD boxes (came pre-installed with
Linspire, which we promptly tossed).

They also installed eXPensive and had a heck of a time getting the
sound and network up and running.

Anyway, RC1 is my primary boot-to version, preferring it to the 9.2 and
9.3 installs I have available. Even considering it's an RC1 release, I
think it's "ready".

Thanks for the really useful reply, Moe. Sorry about the delay in
responding, but it took me a while to carry out the test you proposed.

/etc/resolv.conf just has two nameserver lines for the IP addresses of
the DNS servers that my isp gave me.

This is what tcpdump showed -

'11:45:15 IP 155.239.110.127 > 224.0.0.22: igmp v3 report, 1 group
record(s)'

The first address is the one that my ISP dynamically assigned to me.
According to what I have read, the second address is a multicast
address. Here is a quote that I found -

'IGMP (configured on a router) periodically sends out IGMP general
queries. A host responds to these queries with IGMP membership reports
for groups that it is interested in.'

I am not using a router. It is a plain FC4 box, not connected to a lan,
with a modem for dialup to the ISP.

It is running IP-Masquerading, which I have set up according to the
latest HOWTO, as I want to use the machine as an internet server for a
small lan. The HOWTO gives details of two firewall setups - one very
simple one for testing, and one much stronger one for the real world.
At this stage I am using the simple one.

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

Any assistance will be much appreciated.
