| Update TOC field (completely) with VBA Posted: 24 Jan 2014 03:08 PM PST Is there a way to make a TOC field update completely (that is, more than just the page numbers) using VBA? I'm trying Selection.Range.Fields(1).Update and variants but it always adjusts only the page numbers. Any ideas? Thanks. Mark |
| I Cannot Use microsoft word becasue it says I need to ACTIVATE it. Posted: 24 Jan 2014 01:09 PM PST My mom and I bought this computer like 6 months ago, and I recently need to use Microsoft Word for school. So I'm trying to use it and it says I need to activate it and it asks for my Microsoft email and a password but then it says that my email doesn't associated with Office It says to please use the email associated with office.

| Find all NORMAL text that is not Times New Roman, 11pt Posted: 24 Jan 2014 12:27 PM PST I need to find and replace all text of NORMAL style with a custom style. However, I don't want to lose any italics or bold formatting. Is there a way to use Find and Replace but tell it NOT to change text that is any combination of NORMAL/ITALICS/BOLD? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
| Cannot Print Word 2013 documents Posted: 24 Jan 2014 12:20 PM PST I cannot print word 2013 documents. All other office applications will print, emails, PDF's but will not print a document from 2010 office word. |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 11:37 AM PST In the equation editor in Word 2010, if you choose a Product symbol (Pi) with an initial value and end value, the equation looks OK in the editor, but when you switch back to a normal view, the Product symbol is replaced with a Coproduct symbol (inverted Pi). |
| Formatting Issues in Multi-level list Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:44 AM PST Made a template of a multilevel list and has been working very well for my needs. I have run into a problem where one of the list (A-second level) was loner than usual. Once you go past the single character (Z) in double character (AA), the formatting is all off and I am unable to fix it. |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:39 AM PST 1. How can I upload a new word or proper name to Microsoft's database so that when people who have the latest updated office dictionary write it out, it does not get underlined in red? Please note that I do not mean "add to dictionary" where words and names are only recognized locally. 2. How can I add synonyms to words to installed dictionaries in various languages? Thank you. |
| Can I get Word 2010 cover page templates for 2013? Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:14 AM PST I have MS Word 2013 and I am in a silly class that requires MS Word 2010. I have to add cover pages and stuff, which is all stuff I know how to do but I am going to get marked off for using the incorrect template. I was given an .xml file earlier that had all of the themes from 2010 and I added that to my 2013 folder with all the themes...can I do the same for cover pages? I am running windows 7 64bit OS and I do not have access to word 2010. |
| How do I get a hyperlink to work inside an if statement? Posted: 24 Jan 2014 09:55 AM PST I am working on a project where I am needing to have a hyperlink appear based on a mail merge value. I am having no problem with the if statement, except for the fact that my hyperlink only shows the text, and so is not formated to look like a hyperlink, and does nothing when I click on it. Is there a way to get a hyperlink to work when nested inside an if statement in Word 2010? Thank you, Matt |
| Microsoft Word 2013 read only compatibility Posted: 24 Jan 2014 09:22 AM PST I have absolutely no idea how this problem came to be but every person who works for Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for creating such a terrible product. People choose this product out of convenience and fear. People are afraid to use another product because of compatibility fears. I just want to do basic word processing nothing fancy and I have had nothing but bother since I got this. Why can't Microsoft not make things easier for people? Look at the following image and tell me how to sort this mess out. I have scoured forums, tried solutions and nothing works. Every time I want to save a document it wants to save in 1997-2003 or something like that. I select Word Document and it seems to save but when I open it it says the below.  For love of Christ why? |
| TOC Codes show in document text Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:41 AM PST I have a document where the TC codes are showing in the main text of the document. The ALT F9 doesn't work to hide the codes as it is the document that contains the problem and not the TOC itself. The sample below illustrates my problem. I have tried everything to correct this...Word Option, ALT F9, CTRL *, etc. Any suggestions would be wonderful!!! I am using Word 2007. Thanks.

| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 07:31 AM PST I am using Word version 2010. I have a document in which I need redlines from both the author and me to be reflected in different colors. I need to provide a legend to others reviewing this document that identifies which color represents the author changes and which color represents my changes. However, every time I open the document, the redlines are reflected in different colors and when others open the document, the redlines show up in different colors than mine. Is there a way to permanently fix the color for author redlines and my redlines so that all reviewing this document will see the same colors for the changes? |
| Windows 8.1 / Office Home and Student 2013. Posted: 24 Jan 2014 07:10 AM PST Running 8.1 with office 2013 I find that when I download a word document from the internet, it appears to download but will not open in word. All I get is a new window opening stating " unable to reconise file formatt or extension". This operation work fine until about one week ago. Any Help please. Alan. |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 07:07 AM PST I don't know what I have done, but when I saved my document-- suddenly all the text throughout the document is is highlighted-- in grey. I do not know what I have done, and all of the simple fixes ( no highlighting) seem to do nothing. Any suggestions. |
| Text disappears in multilevel lists Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:46 AM PST I created a multi-level list and began typing. when I got to the right margin, the text I typed did not appear on the screen. There was no paragraph marker at the end of the line. When I hit Enter, the text I could not see appeared in the next numbered paragraph. There was a paragraph marker at the end of the first line of text in the second paragraph. But if I continued typing so that text should wrap to the next line, the text and the paragraph mark disappeared until I again hit enter, when the text appeared in the third numbered paragraph. I have been creating multilevel lists in Word for years on this machine, running XP and Office 2010, and have never previously had this problem. I assume some setting, a style, or something has changed. I'll be grateful for a solution to this problem. |
| Sharp black shadow on shapes - gone in Word 2010? Posted: 24 Jan 2014 03:59 AM PST Seems like Word now offers only the very subtle, blurred-edge shadows shown in the in Format Shape gallery. Call me old-fashioned, but I need the simple sharp-edged black shadows of yore. How do I get this? In an old document that has these, running the VBA code:
MsgBox Selection.ShapeRange(1).Shadow.Type
Gives a value of -2. But if I try to *assign* that value to a shape's shadow, it throws a value-out-of-range error.
Short of the clumsy idea of keeping an old shape that has the sharp black shadow and reusing it forever, how can I get that "legacy" (sigh) shadow from this version of Word (pref. using VBA)?
Thanks for any help.

| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 02:55 AM PST I tried to copy and paste a message from Word to an Outlook Email but was unable to. Then I discovered I was not able to past into my other email setup or any Excel or Powerpoint documents. I can only paste into another Word document. |
| Office 2013 - Lost Icons and Function Headers Posted: 24 Jan 2014 02:55 AM PST During my last usage of MS Word 2013 all was fine, about a month ago. Currently, I can open files, but functions and Icons are missing on the Top. Mouse "Right Click" does not work and I am unable to Sign In. File. Save etc buttons are all missing in the program. Please advice Rgds/Collin |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2014 01:48 AM PST Greetings all,
So I created a password to open my delicate file in Word 2013 a few weeks ago. Upon completion I saved the document, protected it with a password and now that the document is urgently needed, I cannot seem to remember my password. Is there a way that Microsoft can help me in recovering the password to the document I created...and sadly forgot the password.
Your assistance would be tremendously appreciated! |
| Blank dialogue windows in ms office Posted: 23 Jan 2014 10:18 PM PST Hi, I have Windows 8.1, MS Office 365 Home Premium. I have an issue with dialogue windows. I normally use Word. After I've been working for a while, all right-click context menu boxes are blank (clear). Also, if try to close a document, the usual "do you want to save changes..." dialogue is blank, too. Same happens with MS Excel. It works normally after restart, but then it happens again. I couldn't find a similar issue anywhere. Thank you for your help. |
| Page numbers not counting properly? Posted: 23 Jan 2014 09:35 PM PST I have a 106 page document with section breaks and different odd/even footers and recently my page numbers stopped counting correctly. They start on 1 when they should start on 4 then skip to 5 and show the rest of the document as page 1. Nothing I do resolves this issue. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it? |
| Find and Remove Complex String Posted: 23 Jan 2014 09:26 PM PST Can anyone offer suggestions on how to find all strings similar to the one below:
1865] JOHNSON TAKES THE OATH 289
These strings usually have a paragraph mark before and after, and tab marks separating the numbers from the all-cap letters. I tried the following but it did not find the string:
^p[1-2000]^t[A-Z]^t[1-500]^p |
| Equalize line spacing while using two alphabets Posted: 23 Jan 2014 06:22 PM PST I'm typing up a document that requires switching constantly between English and Sanskrit, often using them in the same line together (individual word translation). The text is primarily in English; but when Sanskrit characters appear in a line, the spacing between that line and the one beneath becomes larger than the spacing between those that are all in English. I'd like the line spacing between every line to be the same throughout, despite alternating between two alphabets. I'm using Times New Roman for the English, and have tried several different Sanskrit fonts, to no avail. Any suggestions? |
| Find and Replace Paragraph Mark and Lowercase ^13[a-z] Posted: 23 Jan 2014 04:55 PM PST The wildcard expression ^13[a-z] works wonderfully for finding all of the words starting with lowercase letters after a paragraph break. I need to then replace ONLY the paragraph break with a simple space. If I do a find and replace using ^13[a-z], it then replaces the letter at the beginning of the lowercase word with the space, thus misspelling the word. Example before Find & Replace: Spaulding, one of the Naval Committee, allowed himself to be used in the intrigue, and, to his discredit, called for the documents After Find & Replace (note "intrigue" is misspelled: Spaulding, one of the Naval Committee, allowed himself to be used in the ntrigue, and, to his discredit, called for the documents Any suggestions on how to avoid this error would be greatly appreciated. |
| Create custom tabs on the Word 2013 ribbon Posted: 23 Jan 2014 03:53 PM PST Office 2007 saw the addition of the Ribbon feature, which some users found confusing. However, you can use it to your advantage by adding your own custom tabs containing commands you use often. This allows for quicker and easier document creation. We're using Word in our example, but you can create custom tabs in the other Office apps as well. To create a custom tab, right-click on the Ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon. The Customize Ribbon screen on the Word Options dialog box displays. The tabs available on the Ribbon are listed on the right side of the dialog box. Click New Tab at the bottom of that list. A New Tab is added after the tab that was selected (which is the Home tab by default). To give the new tab a different name, right-click on the New Tab (Custom) and select Rename from the popup menu. On the Rename dialog box, enter a name for the tab in the Display name edit box and click OK. Every tab must have at least one group of commands on it. When you create a New Tab, a New Group is automatically added. On the Rename dialog box, enter a name for the new group in the Display name edit box. You can also select an icon from the Symbol box to represent the new group when the Ribbon is resized. Click OK. NOTE: You can add multiple groups on your tab if you want to categorize the commands you add to your tab. Because the Home tab was selected when we created a new tab, the new tab was added right after the Home tab. You can move the tab to a different position on the Ribbon by selecting the tab to be moved and clicking either the up arrow button or down arrow button. To add a command to the group on your tab, select a command from the list of commands on the left. You can filter the list by selecting an option from the Choose commands from drop-down list. To add a command to the group on your tab, drag the command to right below the group name (or other command name) until you see a horizontal bar. You can also add commands by selecting the group, then selecting the command and clicking Add. NOTE: You can use the up and down arrow buttons to rearrange the commands within the groups on your tab as well. When you have added all the groups and commands you want, click OK to accept your changes and close the Word Options dialog box. The new tab displays on the Ribbon, providing convenient access to the commands you use most often. You can also backup your custom tabs so you can re-import them if you have to reinstall the Word (or other Office programs) or if you want to move the same customizations to a different computer; for example, if you have to replace your computer. To backup your customizations, right-click on the Ribbon again and select Customize the Ribbon. At the bottom of the Customize Ribbon screen on the Word Options dialog box on the right click Import/Export and select Export all customizations. On the File Save dialog box, navigate to the location where you want to save your customizations backup, enter a name for the file in the File name edit box, and click Save. You can copy this file to an external drive for safekeeping. If you want to remove any custom tabs you've added or any changes you've made to the built-in tabs, you can reset all your customizations by clicking Reset and selecting Reset all customizations. If you only want to reset changes on one built-in tab (not on custom tabs), select the tab to be reset, click Reset and select Reset only selected Ribbon tab. If you've selected to reset all customizations, a confirmation dialog box displays to make sure you want to do this. Click Yes to remove all changes to built-in tabs and all custom tabs you've created. NOTE: No confirmation dialog box displays when you select Reset only selected Ribbon tab. You can also remove a custom tab by selecting the tab and clicking Remove. This will not affect any changes you've made to built-in tabs. NOTE: No confirmation dialog box displays when removing a custom tab, so be sure you want to remove it before you do so. The ability to customize the Ribbon bar by creating your own custom tabs is a useful feature for making it quicker and easier to work on your documents. The commands you use most often can be grouped together, providing quick access. |
