| Automatically update content from one form field into another in Word 2010 Posted: 04 Feb 2014 02:44 PM PST I have a form with inserted text form fields where I enter names. I have another region in my form where the same name needs to be repeated in another form field. Rather than having to type this in twice, I would like the data entered into the first form field (i.e. name) automatically update in the second form field below. Is that possible in Word 2010? Please help, thanks in advance. Chris Guay |
| Office Posted: 04 Feb 2014 02:08 PM PST I have lost whichever Word 2007, 2010, or 2013 came with my HP, Slimline PC. How can I download it for FREE from Microsoft? It is not in the Programs and Features list -Uninstall/Install. I have the Product Key number that is on the computer and I have found the Microsoft 20 digit number.

| Restrict editing - I must be missing something here Posted: 04 Feb 2014 01:55 PM PST I am using Word 2013 on Windows 8.1 (both English). My coworkers are using Word 2010 on Windows 7 (both French).
I have created a document with 3 small sections. I would like to send it to 2 coworkers and have them make modifications. 1 coworker should be able to modifiy a specific section only, the other coworker should be able to freely edit the entire document (or specific sections).
I do not seem to be able to get what I need.
This is what I did : - Went to the Review tab.
- Clicked Restrict Editing in the Protect group.
- Left 1. Formatting restrictions unchecked.
- Checked 2. Editing restrictions - Allow only this type of editing in the document.
- Selected No changes (Read only) from drop-down list.
- Clicked on More users in the Exceptions zone.
- Added in the email addresses of 2 of my coworkers.
- Selected section 2 (section breaks were used and I clicked and dragged from one section break to the next) of my document and checked the name of my 1st coworker.
- Selected all sections of the document and checked the name of the 2nd coworker.
- Clicked Yes, Start Enforcing Protection.
- Added passwords.
- Sent file to both of my coworkers.
Results :
Neither of them were not able to make any changes at all, the document was in Read-only on open.
Tried :
I returned to my document, removed the protection and tried changing No changes in the Editing restrictions section to Tracked changes. A dialogue box appeared stating that Word will ignore all the exceptions in the document. Whether I answered Yes or No to the Do you want to remove the ignored exeptions? question, both coworkers had complete access to all sections of the file and changes were tracked of course. I expected this based on the question but figured I would try it just in case.
Question :
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you! |

| Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student Edition - Crashes with Windows 8 Posted: 04 Feb 2014 01:09 PM PST Hello, I have been using Microsoft home 2013 on my Acer Aspire V5 (touch screen) for five months and yesterday I stopped being able to open any word documents. I had to uninstall Office and reinstall it. Now I can only open word documents that are saved on my desktop. When I try to open others, the program freezes and eventually I have to CTRL + ALT + Del and quit the program. Can anyone advise? Thanks |
| Too Many Pages!!! Posted: 04 Feb 2014 01:03 PM PST I built a template by placing an image of my letterhead on a master page. When i switch over to the document, everytime i hit return, it goes to a second page. what am I doing wrong. |
| check for bookmarks in Word Template Posted: 04 Feb 2014 12:57 PM PST oDoc.bookmarks("bookmark").select locates a bookmark and allows you to print to that location from VB. Is there a way to determine if a bookmark exists prior to executing this command.? |
| Word 2103 - problem with the Page Break command Posted: 04 Feb 2014 12:32 PM PST In all the previous versions of Word, I used to position tables in the bottom of pages by first inserting a page break and by using the Table Properties>Around>Positioning>Vertical Position: Bottom and Relative to: Margin command.
I have tried this approach on Word 2013 but failed because the bottom rows of the table 'hops' over the Page Break onto the following page.
In other words, the Page Break is virtually useless when used beneath tables positioned on the bottom margin of a page.
I would be grateful if someone gives me a useful tip. I am now using Word 2013 but my files are being saved to Word 2010. However I would like to use Word 2013 to its full potential.

| Where can I find the templates I created? Posted: 04 Feb 2014 10:46 AM PST I have created 2 templates - a cover page and a "regular" template. I created them by creating new documents and then saving each as a template. In addition, I saved the cover sheet template into the gallery per the drop down option. However, when I start a new document and try to insert my custom cover page, it does not appear in teh gallery. In addition, if I am starting a new document and want to use my "regular" template, it does not appear in "My Templates" or "Recent Templates." What am I doing wrong and how can I find my templates to be able to use them? Thanks for your help.

| Word 2010 saves my files as pdfs instead of docx files Posted: 04 Feb 2014 09:46 AM PST I have recently installed Office 2010 on my Windows 7 PC. The install seemed to work OK but now whenever I save a Word doc it always saves it as a pdf file irrespective of what I choose as the file type when saving. I've checked the default setting and that's set as a docx file. |
| Microsoft Word help required Posted: 04 Feb 2014 08:45 AM PST Hi there.
I am searching for answers regarding some questions I have raised and how Word 2003 (my home Office Suite) and Word 2007 (my employer's version) operate with Outlook.
I have posted my questions in another thread shown below and Smittychat has helped me.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-word/file-conversion-questions-urgent-help-required/e7ea67c5-18ec-4c15-893d-32cf9eb83cab
Essentially I would like to know how message files (.msg format) were attached to an e-mail at work and what I did to make this mistake happen? I am not the most experienced of users (hence the error) so I would appreciate some tips and guidance on how this issue has occurred.
I am keen to prove that these notes in the .msg files were sent by mistake and not intentionally.
Thanks for your valuable time.

| Copy and Paste from Word turns hyphens into not signs Posted: 04 Feb 2014 08:05 AM PST Whenever I copy and paste text from Word—either into another Word document or into a different program—any hyphens in the document either convert to the not sign or stay in the word. So, for example, if the text looks like this in a Word doc: B.S., communication, con-
centration in design and technology
It will paste in like this: B.S., communication, con-centration in design and technology
OR B.S., communication, con¬centration in design and technology
Why? This happens to everyone at our office, but I can't find any other record of this problem on the help forums or even by just searching the web for the problem. These are NOT soft hyphens or forced hyphens. They are just normal typed text that is hyphenating due to the space on the page.
Sometimes, the not sign (¬) will randomly appear in the middle of words that didn't even have hyphens in Word. This happens when pasted from Word into other Word docs, into notepad (Which usually fixes other MS formatting problems), and into the Adobe software we use for document production. If I turn on "view hidden characters" in Word, they show up in the middle of the word. How would they get there?

| I can't print a range of pages with Word 2013, why not? Posted: 04 Feb 2014 07:27 AM PST Using Windows 7, Word 2013.
I have a 700 page document.
I only want to print pages 200-300.
I click on print, click on custom print, and the box for PAGES: shows up and I enter 200-300.
I see a quick message down below that states "Word is repaginating" then "Preparing to background print the document" but nothing happens.
I can "PRINT CURRENT PAGE"
I can print the entire document.
There are no "sections", just pages.
Any ideas? I know I had to do something when we first got these new computers to print a document multiple times. Now I'm having this problem! Ugh!
Thanks for any help!

| Problem with figure captions Posted: 04 Feb 2014 06:59 AM PST I have associated Heading 1 style with Chapter; this is working in that I get "Chapter n" in front of all text that was given that style and the value of n increments just fine. I have specified that figure captions are to include chapter numbers. However, whenever I insert a caption they come out a "Figure 0-xx" That is to say, the chapter number always shows as zero and the sequential number is not reset after each chapter break. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any ideas - the editor is carping about the deadline!

| Can I set rounded borders with a style? Posted: 04 Feb 2014 06:48 AM PST I'd like to know if it's possible to set rounded borders, for example to a paragraph, with a style in Word. This is for a student workbook, I want a box for the answer to be written in and it needs a bit of visual interest. I can straightforwardly set sharp-cornered borders, including a couple of types with shading, but nothing rounded.
I've found this workaround, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/word-table-borders-are-rounded-corners-possible/7c9bfcf6-3820-4ed3-bc70-0b7e2030a5a1 . However, with that approach if I wanted to make changes I believe I'd need to go through each box one-by-one. With a couple of dozen workbooks to produce each with many questions, that's no good for me.
Anyone know if this is possible, and if it is how to do it? |

Posted: 04 Feb 2014 12:41 AM PST Hi there guys, I'm wondering how am I going to save my word documents directly from my desktop/laptop to my phone (Nokia Lumia 925)? I tried opening a document then click on save as then I selected windows phone, go to documents, but it says to that I cant save on that specific folder.

But what I wanted to do is to be able to save it directly from my desktop to my phone. it's a lot way easier than opening onenote then saving it. |

| Word Exception Code 0xc0000005 Posted: 03 Feb 2014 05:18 PM PST Hi
Can anyone help me with the above error? I have one specific document that causes Word to crash. No other documents or templates cause this issue, and other people are able to open the document without any issues (and I can open it on other computers)
Event info is below. I tried to log a support request, but I was only presented with Billing, Subscription and one other (can't remember) option to choose from. It said choose 'other' but the option was not there.
Really need some help with this, thanks.

| Got Office 2010 on Windows 7. When someone sent me a wordfile from an earlier version, that's when problems started... Now can't open Word documents!!! Help!!! Posted: 03 Feb 2014 04:47 PM PST OK. Are you sitting comfortably? Bought a version of Office 2010 for my PC but it had Office 2007 installed which I obviously didn't want or need, having bought and loaded 2010 onto my PC. A friend sent me an earlier version of a word file and ever after, it opened in Word 2007, which I didn't want, because it was only a basic version with some features missing!!! I couldn't use Word 2010. So I uninstalled Office 2007, and then found rather annoyingly that the icon of Word 2010 had changed and all my info on each Word doc had gone. Not a serious problem, but annoying all the same.
Now today, rather daftly I admit, wanted to open Word with a program that would restore the proper icon, and I had three choices: 'WordPad', 'Microsoft Works Word Processor' and 'Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler'. I clicked on the last one, and now all the word files have an icon which says 'DOCX' at the bottom and none of them will open when I click on them!!!??? I assume it's not that serious but can anyone help me sort it please so I can use my Word files again?!! Thanks. Any way of restoring the icon I want for all files would be nice too. |
| Problem with language in Word Posted: 03 Feb 2014 03:49 PM PST It Doesn't matter how many times I tell Microsoft Word that I want English UK as my default language, it insists on proofing in English US. I go into the dialogue box for changing the language and it says the English UK is my default language, but just won't use it. I've unticked 'detect language automatically' without making any difference and tonight I discovered that there are many versions of English ticked, and I can't untick them. What can I do. It's very annoying when you're told that the document is incorrectly spelt and you know it's right. I did have a similar problem in Outlook but seem to have solved that one, I just can't remember how. PS: None of the 'Windows Topics' seem to fit my problem.
I had asked a question . and Lead35 suggested I post on the Forum, which I hope this is. |

I exactly followed the steps as described in tutorials, but I can't log in & share my documents on sky drive by using application passwords generated by security info page. Pls guide me further on this.
