Microsoft Word - Find and replace styles with wildcards

Microsoft Word - Find and replace styles with wildcards


Find and replace styles with wildcards

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:58 PM PST

So I work in an educational environment and we do OCR for 1000's of books a year and I am trying to improve the process.

The end process of the OCR looks like this

text text text. ¶
155¶ (page number)
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
156¶
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
157¶
etc...

I am trying to have it be

text text text. ¶
(Page break)
25¶(heading 3)
text text text

Here is what I have tried so far
Using a page range of 150 to 230 ( I change the find parameters depending on the pages in the section to help improve on catching other numbers that may be in the document)

Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: ^13^12\1
Works great gives me a full line page break

But now to change the style.
Everytime I try 
Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: \1 (using the formating>Style>Heading 3)
it will make the entire previous paragraph heading 3 even though there is a ¶ and page break prior to the heading.

I have tried putting place holders like
Step1:
Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: ^13^12P\1
Making it "P25"
Step2: 
Find: [P]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: \1 (Style>Heading 3)
and still the entire previous paragraph is the heading.

According to this site I should be able to do Replace: ^12\1 ((style "Heading 1"))
But all that gives me is the words and not the heading "25 ((style "Heading 1"))" 

Is there a way to inset the wildcard into the replace field? or what am I doing wrong?

Edit: I just tried to add the headings after doing for F&R with ¶ and page break. And the headings are not working correctly. It seems as the ¶ are visually there but are allowing headings to go through them. Unlike done manually. Is there another wild card for ¶ than ^13 that would work as a real ¶?

OLE Error in Word 2013, 2010 and 2007

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:52 PM PST

This is a continuation of the discussions at topic "Word 2010 with embedded Excel objects does not release Excel when closing".


(Summary of previous topic) Periodically, Word will throw and OLE error when editing an Excel embedded workbook.  To get past the error, you must manually close Excel from task manager.  Once you can finally close the program, the workbook you were editing becomes a picture.


Behavior same in all versions since 2007.

 

So here is the result of the OLE error and manually closing Excel from task manager:

 

As you are aware, a .docx or .docm file is in effect a zip file with xml pointers to different folders within the file.

 

What is happening to me is:

1.  The Excel spreadsheet is lost/deleted from the internal storage folder.

2.  The Picture image is retained.

3.  The Word document appears to be intact until you try to open the embedded object.

4.  When trying to reopen the embedded file, the ribbon says it is a picture and will not open the Excel worksheet, since it cannot find it.

 

This has GOT to get fixed!

Why is the table formatting in a Word 2010 custom template overridden when I paste text from another document?

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:27 PM PST

I'm creating various templates for my office to use for memos, etc. I've created a table with a preferred font (Arial Narrow 11). I don't have a problem using th template from scratch, but when I copy and past a cell from a table from a different document, the text appears either as Calibri 11 (even though that wasn't the original font). What's going on?

 

If I highlight the specific text and copy and paste it there's no problem. This just happens if the cell is highlighted, copied and pasted. This template needs to be used by several other writers, so the easier it is to use the better.

 

Thanks

word 2013 unresponsive while saving

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:56 PM PST

While automatically saving a document, unlike previous versions, word 2013, and windows for that matter, become unresponsive for a couple of seconds as the save process seems to take up most of the computer resources. The document in question is a mere ~100kb in size. Is there a way to give the program less priority when saving? This hinders proper work.

Thank you.

troubleshooting "text wrapping" an image

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:53 PM PST

HI

 

HI

 

I am working in Word 2007.

 

I have a document that includes images, captions and callouts, each of which are 'grouped' together with text written above and below the image.  I've read that in order to make this document WCAG2.0 compliant/accessible, I must format the image either as 'inline with text' or 'top and bottom'. When I use 'inline with text', it positions the image at the left margin - I want the image centred between the margins. Also, 'inline wth text' seems to disable the 'group' option and I can't group it with the caption or callout.

 

When I use 'top and bottom', and group the caption to it, it move the text which had been below the image to behind it, forcing me to hit Enter several times in order to move the text down the page to below the image.

 

So, the question is, how can I add a caption (and callouts) to an image, group them together and at the same time keep the text that's positioned above and below the image without having to hit Enter several times to move the text down the page and below the image?

 

Help!, Marion

 

 

 

 

Word 2010 will not print.

I have Microsoft 7 and Office 2010.  Excel 2010, emails, etc will print.  Only Word 2010 will not print its files.  It just gives me blank pages equal to document length.  I have tried replacing the template file but this did not fix problem.

Dollar amount in words

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:35 PM PST

I have a field which merges to word.  The name of the field is "settled".  The field appears in the document when merged as, for example, "$10,000.00".

I have created a field next to it to express the amount in upper case words; {MERGEFIELD Settled\*DollarText\*UPPER MERGEFORMAT}.

This gives me the result of: "TEN THOUSAND AND 00/00".

I need it to be "TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS".

Is there any expression I can use that would give me this result?

Thanks, Michelle

changing a Word 2010 default

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:32 PM PST

I am tired of getting a double space every time I hit a carriage return in Word 2010.  I know how to use the toolbar line spacing tool to "remove space before paragraph" etc. etc. but I waste a ton of time doing this manually over and over again.  If I want two spaces, I'll hit Return 2x.  I don't want Word to assume I want an extra line when I don't.  Is there a way to change the default setting for this function so any Return just goes to the next line vs. the 2nd line? 

 

Thank you.!!

Bar Codes on Envelopes........

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:24 PM PST

In earlier versions of Word, when setting up the Envelope option, you could add a barcode above the name in the recipients address.  This was great, especially when sending official mailings or wanting your envelope to look professional - no matter what the reason.


In Word/Office 2010, that option is no longer in the envelope set up section.


How can I add a barcode to the top of the recipients address on an envelope in Word 2010 (Office 2010)?


Thank you for your help.......

Numbering paragraphs in Word 2013

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:58 AM PST

I would like to be able to display paragraph numbers in much the same way that line numbers can be displayed:  along the right or left margin in sequential order throughout an entire document.  The catch is that the document already uses a multilevel list as well.  When I try to add paragraph numbering, the multilevel list formatting disappears.  Is there a way to preserve the multilevel list formatting and also show the # of each paragraph?

adding sub chapter captions in word 2010

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:12 AM PST

My user wants a document with three levels of headings and wants the figure and table captions to reflect the sections like:

 

Figure 5.1.3-1 or Table 8.1-1, 8.1-2 etc. 

 

The first Table inserted falls under section 5.1.7 and should be labeled 5.1.7-1.  If I change the "Heading starts with Style..." from Heading 1 to heading 3 which is the correct label, the numbering is correct (5.1.7-1, 5.1.7-2 etc).  The next section is under a Heading 2 entry.  5.2.  If I insert the caption without making any changes, the heading comes in as 5.1.9-1 which is the last Heading 3 in the section.  The Caption should be 5.2-1.  When I change the Heading Style from Heading 3 to Heading 2, all prior captions change to Heading 2.

 

Am I doing something wrong?  The heading styles in my document are set up in a Multi-level list per Shauna Kellys web instructions.

 

 

Please help straighten me out.... regards, Lenny33

Keyboard shortcut to open a blank document with a template

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 10:43 AM PST

Hi,

Is there a keyboard shortcut that's equivalent to the Office Button > New > New Document,, which opens the list of available templates? I don't always use the same template for my documents, and it would be really convenient to be able to have a keyboard shortcut to do this.  Pressing CTRL + N just opens a blank document based on the current template, which isn't always what I need.  Thanks!

Multilevel Appendices

Hi - I have been following a bunch of the advice about how to create appendix headers but I seem to be missing the boat.

I defined heading 7 as my appendix heading (A, B, C).


Now I am trying to create sub-headings (A.1, A.2, B.1, B.2, ect)


How do I get the section number to show up correctly.  I looked at the multilevel listing but could not get the section letter to show up.


Thanks in advance.

Changing style's font does not actually change the font!

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 09:18 AM PST

hi everyone

My figure captions are governed by the Captions style, and just now I wanted to change its font to Courier New. However, doing that leaves the caption font unchanged (it stays Times new roman, the same font that the Normal style also has). Changing other properties of the style such as text colour or size does have the expected effect!

can anyone help? Thanks!

Entering Chinese characters with AZERTY keyboard

Intermittent 'Not Responding' on Microsoft Word 13 (and Office 13) on Windows 7

Posted: 22 Jan 2014 10:00 PM PST

The problem I'm having is when I'm trying to use Microsoft Word 13 (actually, all of Microsoft Office 13, Excel, Outlook, etc.), I get a constant freezing and "Not Responding" error. Word doesn't crash. Just when I'm typing, it'll freeze, then unfreeze... I'll type some more, then it'll freeze again, then unfreeze. It's incredibly frustrating. And it's with every document.

I've already removed all the add-ins. I've uninstalled and re-installed twice. I've done the "fix-it".  The Event Log viewer doesn't show any of the "Not Responding" errors. I disabled the hardware graphics acceleration. I also saw that there may have been compatibility issues with Security Essentials, so I uninstalled that, but I'm still have the same problems and it's across all of Microsoft Office. I believe I have all the latest updates, patches and fixes too. 

Is there some sort of compatibility issue in Windows 7 with MS Office 13?

Setup problems - fdisk, overlapping sectors?

On Sun, 02 Oct 2005 02:10:51 +0200, <com> wrote:
 

Since you fail to quote the earlier messages I have to gather the
information from three messages.

Ummm...

You have built several machines of the same type,
o Appliance type
o running a Via processor
o with 20 Gb drives, except two have 40 Gb drives instead

The 40 Gb drives are Samsung 2.5".

The two with 40 Gb behave differently.

You cannot boot those two from CD without setting ide=nodma on the
kernel boot command line, do I get it right? (What are the symptoms
when you don't supply ide=nodma? Can we infer that the disk interface
is traditional IDE?

You use fdisk => meaning you have booted some kernel and are
running fdisk under that kernel. With ide=nodma.

You set up one or more partitions, then hit "w" and return.

Fdisk queries the kernel about the number of bytes per sector
and the total capacity in bytes of the disk, and uses llseek()
and read() to read the second and the last sector of the disk.

In my test case, the disk had no extended partition.

Fdisk uses llseek() and write() to write a 512-byte block to
the start of the disk, calls sync(), waits for two seconds,
calls an ioctl() to make the kernel reread the partition table,
and repeats sync()-sleep()-ioctl(), sleeps for another four seconds,
and exits.

If you changed any logical partitions fdisk probably called llseek
to reach the proper sector, read the sector, modified the memory
copy of the sector, called llseek() again to access the same sector
again, then wrote the modified sector back. Repeat for each partition
modified. Or perhaps for all logical partitions.

Now you restart fdisk, but the partition data do not correspond to
the data written.

The exact nature of the differences between written and subsequently
read is perhaps not so important as noting that the contenst of one
or more sectors have changed.

Just for the record, the number of partitions is the same...
as before? as written? I guess the disks had empty partition
tables when you started, so you mean the same as written.
Some partition(s) have changed type to ntfs (where ext3?)
Partition start (first sector) overlap ... overlap what? The end
of previous partition? If the disks had empty partition
tables when you started, it means the sectors have been written.
Number of partitions read is the same as written.


We have some options.

Did the write hit the disk? Or did the kernel keep it in
its buffercache?

Block device reads and writes go through the buffercache.
Sync should force out everything. Is there any possibility that
something delayed the write so much that the call to reread the
partition table clobbered unwritten buffercache blocks with the
old data from the disk?

I don't know if sync() waits until the data are actually safely on
the platter. I *believe* it does.

Do some hardware conditions corrupt the data on the way to the disk?
Do some hardware conditions corrupt the data being read from the disk?

Are there kernel bugs that give timing errors or other corrupting
errors when using ide=nodma? Are there memory errors?

Could there be electrical problems, with the disks drawing too much
current and making the power drop below what the ram likes?
Do you have any means of observing that?

You probably have mostly readonly filesystems as long as you
are running from a CD. But /dev is a tmpfs, so if you have some
memory to spare, you can hold short files there. Can you
do

dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/hda (or whatever) of=/dev/mbr-before

then run fdisk, and from the advanced menu hexdump the partition
table, then partition as it should be, hexdump again, save the
dumps to /dev/something, and finally repeat the dd command, but
with of=/dev/mbr-after. Then od -t x1 /dev/mbr-before and
see if there are any pattern in the differences. I cannot imagine
you can do much more from software except debug the kernel.

The rest would be fairly lowlevel properties of the disks and the
chips on the appliance.

A quick google on the internet gives some links that might be usefull:

If you don't have gentoo linux, there may be some differences.

If you have Fedora Core 4, you do not need to recompile the kernel,

I would probably only need to edit the hotpulg files.

Right, that's a configuration file you can *USE* to preset your default

Follow the logic in all those "if" statements. I can't guess from here which
one triggers the display of and use of Gnome in your desktop settings, but
it should be traceable through your system and configuraton files.

I wonder if you play with your system much, and whether you add and delete
packages? Is gnome still listed you RPM packages, or if you accidentally did
a "yum remove" that removed it as a dependency?

right click on the right pane in resource usage, add 'cumulative work' field

This gives cumulative work; you have to manually subtract the previous
quarter figures to get the figure for just that quarter.

Or export to excel.

Maintain budget constraints with new activities

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 08:43 AM PST

John - thanks for the quick reply! I do appreciate the feedback. I think we
are attempting to lay out the detail tasks for the near term, but are looking
for a mechanism within MS Project to manage it. I think establishing those
issue budgets I mention addresses the "planning packages" idea you mention.

In our case, we know our resource budgets and the work that is currently on
our plate. We have established a means for prioritizing the work and are
finalizing high-level estimates for the work. We fully expect to see far
more work than we have resource availability and have gone through the effort
to establish what % of each resource's time is available for these
issues/CRs, as many of them will also be doing ongoing customer support and
tech support activities.

I guess my question was less about how to maintain budget constraints as to
how best to programatically administer the scenario I mentioned in MS
Project, keeping the consideratios you mention in mind.

Project Plan in Minutes

Posted: 11 Mar 2005 08:19 AM PST

Hi Kai,

You're welcome.

Just a word of caution. Typing in start and finish dates/times constrain
the tasks. If you enter in a start date/time for a task in a project
scheduled from a fixed start date (in Project>Project Information) you are
setting a Start No Earlier than constraint. Typing in a finish date/time for
a task sets a Finish no earlier than constraint. As much as humanly possible
you want to set the Start Date of the Project (Project>Project Information),
enter your task durations (you can enter in minutes if you choose) and then
link the tasks together to drive the start date/time of the sucessor tasks.

I assume you also changed your calendar (Tools>Change Working Time) to set
Sunday as a working day?

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Changes to baseline

In essence the scope of a task is the deliverable the task produces. If you
have multiple resources assigned and it's even possible that the scope can
change for just one of them but not the others, that suggests they are all
producing different deliverables. That in turn suggests that you have
combined what really should be listed as completely separate and distinct
activities into one task and your WBS has not been sufficiently decomposed
into its activities. If you breakout the resource's task from the others,
listing them all as distinct activities, rebaselining that one task when its
scope changes becomes very simple.

Overall project duration

Create a Summary Task and indent right the two inserted summary project
plans. The summary task will give you the total duration.

Project ressource pool

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:53 PM PST

Stian,
The solution is quite simple :
The problem comes from the fact that you assigned each resource twice :
- On each elementary task (task's OK)
- On the summary of elementary task (That's too bad !)
What version of project are you using ? Normally, 2003 avois this kind of
problem...
So :
Select a summary of reccurent task (which has a small + sign)
In the Assign Resource dialog, select the resource and click Remove.

Filtering subtasks

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 03:57 PM PST

John,

Thanks. This worked great. I have one more issue with this. I
created a new view to only show a certain number of fields. When I
apply this filter to that view, I can see the parent summary tasks, but
everything is inline. Is it possible to somehow keep the indenting of
the subtasks when it does the filter?

thanks,
Scott

Hi Viola,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with
PowerPoint problems.

Could you please tell us what led you to chose this newsgroup? We would
really like to know! :)

Report Help

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 11:10 AM PST

Hi Scott

wouldn't bother with a "report" per se, i would just use the Task Sheet view
(view / more views / task sheet) then as it's better to create a new table
rather than modify the existing tables i would choose view / table: entry /
more tables / copy - call the new table "Report Table" and then delete the
rows that i don't want to see in the print out ... (also tick show in menu)
.... once the tables have been deleted click OK and APPLY. This table will
now be shown in the Task Sheet view ... now use the Autofilter or filter box
to filter out the tasks you don't want to see (if you're doing this on a
regular basis you can insert a new column and filter based on that) and then
print it out.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Error when copying picture to word or using the WBS Visio Wiizard

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 06:05 AM PST

Hi Mike,

Sorry if I did not make myself clear.
I am using Project standard 2003.
When I try to use the wizards on the analysis tool bar to export data to
word for example when I want to inlcude my project data in a document I get
the error below.
The same is true when I try to create a WBS using the visio wizard from the
same toolbar.

Thanks

How to open Microsoft Office 2004 with Microsoft Office 2004 and not with Microsoft Office 2008 on Mac?

Posted: 03 May 2010 01:18 PM PDT

Thanks. I know, but I am looking for a fix-all, so that double clicking
any Office 2004 file opens it with the corresponding Office 2004
application (Word, Excel or PowerPoint).

It should be possible with some macro or application or something else
since it is indeed possible with single files using the Get Info menu,
which means that the appropriate changes are made for such file for
ever, so that it is open with the corresponding Office 2004 file
always, for ever. Since it is possible for a single file, there should
be way of doing it for all, with a single click.

Thanks again.

Office Mac 2008. Want to reformat computer &save Office, but lost the disk.

Posted: 24 Apr 2010 08:58 AM PDT

Diane Ross wrote: 

I recommend that before you reformat your hard drive that you take the
following steps (you'll need a second hard drive with enough room
connected by FireWire to do this):

1. Boot to your MacOSX install disk. Choose the language you want to use.
2. In the next screen, use the Utilities menu to launch Disk Utiltiy
3. Use Disk Utility to Verify the hard drive and use Repair if needed
4. Use Disk Utility to create a disc image of your computer onto the
extra hard drive
6. Once you have created the disc image you can Disk Utility to erase
your original hard drive (don't erase the one with your backup copy, of
course)
7. Now quit Disk Utility and you can proceed with your install of
MacOSX. Again, be sure you choose the correct disc so that you don't
wipe out your backup.
8. When MacOSX is installed, it will boot up with the nice music, etc.
One of the choices you'll be offered is to use a disc image to migrate
to your fresh system install. That's what you want to do - or you can
choose the option to not import anything and then use the Migration
Assistant application in the Application > Utilities folder.

Slow file operations in all Office 2008 apps

This is not an official Microsoft forum. We are your peers.

Fonts seem to be a common culprit. Run Font Book to validate fonts. If
you have installed Snow Leopard some of the newer Snow Leopard fonts
conflict with the older ones installed by Office 2008. You need to
delete the older fonts.

Microsoft fonts to delete after installing Snow Leopard (includes help
deleting font caches)

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/remove_fonts_snowleopard.html>

John McGhie's troubleshooting list for Word slow starts

1) Quit all Microsoft applications.

2) Track down all instances of pre-2008 Normal template on your
computer, and drag them to your desktop. The file is called simply
"Normal" and has no extension.

3) Find and drag the file Normal.dotm to your desktop. Unless you have
moved it, it should be in

/Users/ ~ /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/

4) If the following files exist, Remove or rename them:

~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (10)

~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (11)

User/Library/Preferences/com.Microsoft.Word.plist

User/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008 (the whole folder!)

5) Now re-start Word 2008 and it should be OK.

Be thorough with this, if you leave any of these files behind Word 2008
will find them and won't replace them. Do it right and Word will
construct a new, clean, set of preferences and everything should now work.

Make sure you are updated to 12.2.4.

Can't install after using Trial Version

Posted: 17 Apr 2010 10:40 PM PDT

got it to work. could never get the uninstaller to work > it would either hang or not find any other versions. dragged the office folder to the trash and emptied it, also delete the plist as noted above.

you'll know you're doing it right if it asks you for your ID # during the install process.

good luck - works pretty well and people at work can't tell i am using a Mac

odd behavior of 12.2.4 update

Posted: 06 Apr 2010 08:56 PM PDT

As Rob suggests, this sounds like a matter that needs to be tackled by way
of a setting adjustment in or fix to whatever this "third-party software"
may be.

I'm curious as to why such a program is necessary, though. Office has its
own AutoUpdate app, as does most every other software. Typically the apps
can be set to notify of updates on a periodic basis, including as a matter
of routine each time you launch it.

I just noticed something. Rather odd. As stated, no holidays show in my calendar. But now I notice that in the &quot;Assign Categories&quot; window (click on an email, click on &quot;Categories&quot;),

in that window,

Christian, Jewish, and United States holidays are listed. That is the categories for those are listed. The holidays themselves did not download and are not listed in the calendar.

1) Did you clear up the duplicate fonts in the Microsoft fonts folder

this link for instructions.

BTW, are you running any font software? http://bit.ly/aPektH

2) Restart your computer holding down the Shift key to log in using Safe

Develop solutions for MAC Office

Please take Bob Greenblatt up on his offer. He'll treat you very well.

Meanwhile, the answer to your question is a qualified "Yes, you can." As
Rob Schneider pointed out, VBA is absent in Office 2008. However it is
available in Office 2004 and will be available again in Office 2011 (not
2010) on the Mac. Office 2011 will debut later this year.

You will need to know the hardware and software capabilities of your
user base. Office 2004 runs on PowerPC processors and Intel processors
and has VBA version 5. The VBA compiler had to be rebuilt for Intel, so
I suspect Office 2011 will require Intel processors, and of course,
Office 2011. It's not too soon to start developing for Office 2011.

Bob will fill you in on the way to build good cross-platform
applications. Avoid Active-X like the plague. Learn a few simple rules
about Mac file path conventions, and you're applications will be able to
run nicely.

And yes, there's an Apple installer application.

12.2.3 Update woes of a different kind?

Since the 12.2.4 updater requires 12.2.3 to be installed, it sounds more
like a bad pref for MAU than a copy of Office that is missing the update.

The MAU will find other copies of Office on backups that need updating,
but it will fail to install until you boot from that partition. Not sure
why it looks if it won't install.
