Mail Merge Next Record IF 1 of #, 2 of #, 3 of #

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 02:47 PM PST

I have a spreadsheet that lists items, total amount of those items, and then calculates the number of boxes needed to ship particular items depending on how many items fit in the box. The recipient wants labels on each of the boxes. So if they want 100 of a product that fit 10 in a box, the label would need to have: 

Item: «Description»

P.O. «PO» – Box 1 of «Boxes» 

But I would like the merge to say "Box 1 of 10" and then merge to "Box 2 of 10", "Box 3 of 10", "Box 4 of 10" etc. 

I would like a page break at the end of each new box # amount. Box #s vary, but I would be happy to have up to 10 figure out, and I can cut/paste and search/replace for higher #s (which is what I do now... lots of cut/paste, search/replace.  

I have played with this, making a merge with a different page for each # of boxes and set it up as something like: 

«Next Record If Boxes is = 2»

Item: «Description»

P.O. «PO» – Box 1 of «Boxes»

Item: «Description»

P.O. «PO» – Box 2 of «Boxes»  

I just can't seem to figure out how to get it to do what I'd like to do. Any help to save me tons of time would be greatly appreciated!! 

Microsoft Word-- This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document.

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 02:42 PM PST

A while ago, I started getting the message in the title for SOME documents. I just repaired my Office Home and Student 2010 (incl. Service Pack 1), and it did NOT  help.

What can I do to solve this problem?

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Thanks for any suggestion,

PowerPoint slide number changes when pasted into Word

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 01:02 PM PST

I don't see this particular issue in any of the posts.  I apologize if it has been answered; please point me


This is MSO 2013 on Win8 (64bit)


I have a PPT presentation.  I have put the slide number in the lower right corner of each slide using the Insert.  The slide numbers are correct; if I move a slide within the deck, its number changes correctly (and all other slides' numbers change correctly)


I right-click-copy an individual slide and paste-special (picture enhanced metafile) into a Word document.  The slide looks fine, but the slide number in the lower right corner of the slide is changed.  It doesn't matter which 'special' paste format I use, nor does it matter where in the Word document I paste the slide; the number is changed.


If I right-click-copy, paste-special a different slide, its number is also changed, but not to the same number as the first slide. 


If I paste-special the slide into a different Word document, its number is changed to the same value as when pasted into the first Word document.


I have to assume it has something to do with the way that I'm specifying the slide number, but I'm following the instructions,  namely:

 - while viewing the slide, click Insert.  Select Slide number.  on the picture, check slide number, then Apply to All


I have to say that this did not happen with MSO 2007 on Win 7 (64) which was my previous platform.  Both the PPT deck and the Word document were originally created on that platform and moved to the new platform.


thanks,



Page break in Word 2003

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 12:31 PM PST

Bug in <range>.MoveUntil Method (Word 2013)

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 12:30 PM PST

Consider the following code segment:

 

<code>

 

Do While rngCurrent.Start < iEnd ' iEnd is set to rngCurrent.end
    If rngCurrent.Characters(1) = Chr$(32) Then
    ' found a blank.
    Else
        k = rngCurrent.Start
        nChars = rngCurrent.MoveUntil(Chr$(32), wdForward)  ' find the next blank
        j = rngCurrent.Start
        MsgBox "Before " + Str$(k) + " after " + Str$(j)
        wCount = wCount + 1
    End If
Loop

 

</code>

One expects j = k + nchars - 1

 

But run the code and I find that j is actually equal to rngSelect.end + nchars - 1.  nChars is being returned correctly.

 

Is this behaving as designed?

Word 2010 - line between columns is not being displayed

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 12:23 PM PST

I created a new document with two equal columns. In the Columns dialog box I selected Line between and whole document.  The line does not display.  I tried closing Word and opening it again.  I tried to find some hidden Option in Backstage View that I might need to select - no luck.

Can someone give me some guidance as to what to try next?  Thanks.

Problems converting docx to PDF

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 11:47 AM PST

Help !! After many years I have finally finished writing my thesis - which is about 300 pages long with a number of tables and figures in it. In order for it to get printed I need to convert it to a PDF document from word. However, whenever I use the save as PDF file on word (either word 2010 or word 2007) something happens to the PDF document that is created. On various pages the text is affected: sometimes a figure is put in the middle of the text (when it should be in that place) or the text suddenly stops in the middle of a line. It seems to happen at the same points in whichever version of my thesis I use and whether the document is a doc or a docx. I am tearing my hair out trying to work out what to do next. 

Can anyone help??? I'd be most grateful for any advice.


Letterhead template header issues

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 11:43 AM PST

Ok so heres the issue. I am creating a letterhead template for a client. I have her logo sitting flush in the top left hand corner of the header, with her business name in the top right hand. In the footer I have her contact info and a red bar running across the bottom. In print layout while im working, it looks perfect. However when I click print, the logo in the header drops down and to the right about an inch each way leaving white space. The company name in the top right gets cut off. My red bar on the bottom disappears completely, and the contact info gets cut off. Any ideas?

Product Key

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 11:14 AM PST

My laptop was running slow, so I had the whole thing formatted. It's running Vista Home Basic. I used Word 2007 a few times without any problem. Now, when I try to use Word, it asks for the 25 digit product key. If no key entered, I'm told Word may operate with some functionality missing. It will open a new document up, but will not transfer keyboard strokes to the page. When I input it,(Product Key), I'm told it's the wrong key. This is the number off the Microsoft label on the bottom of the laptop. I can't figure out what's wrong?

Find in Word 2007 does not find the next instance in the document...

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 11:05 AM PST

I am trying to revise numerous footnotes in a document that all contain similar information. I want to use FIND to go through these footnotes by turn, so I can find the first one in the document, edit it, then find the next one and so on. I have done this without any problems before. Now for some reason it FINDs the first instance OK but then insists on jumping to a footnote near the end of the document when I ask it to FIND NEXT, rather than going to the next one containing the text. I have tried changing the settings from "find all" to "find down" but that hasn't made any difference. Can anyone advise me why this is happening and how to fix it, please?

Capitalizing I in Word spellcheck

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 10:18 AM PST

This just started happening and was working fine before.  When I type the letter 'i' and then do a spell check, it used to bring up the first option to change it to as "I" (capitalizing it).  Now, all of a sudden, that's not even listed as an option anymore, the first option is "it".  So, I have to go back and change all of them individually.  I CANNOT have autocorrect or replace as I type options checked because it would often times autocorrect with the wrong words.  Something happened between now and two months ago when this started happening.  I made no changes to my spelling options and it's been working fine for over a year.  Microsoft sent me instructions but none of which can help because I can't have autocorrect and replace this with this options.  Why all of a sudden would capital "I", which would be the logical choice for being the first option to replace "i", disappear?  If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!  

Format changes when changing Quick Styles

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 10:18 AM PST

I have Office 2007 running in Windows 7.  I create documents in two different styles using Office Word.  One document uses the following settings:

Page size is 5.25" X 7.25", margins are .5" X .5" X .5" X.5, the main font is Garamond 12, and paragraphs are justified.  This style set is saved as Set - RTF.

The second set is saved as Set - PDF with only the following changes: page size is changed to Letter and the main font is Bell MT 20.

I create the original document using the RTF settings and after it is saved I then open the PDF set to change over the styles used in the document.  Always before everything has stayed the same until I select the RTF style and change it to the PDF one, then remove the RTF before saving the document in it's new format.  I had problems with my computer starting a couple of mornings ago and now every time I try to work on a document when I open the PDF styles all of my paragraphs go from justified to left.  I ran a repair cycle on my Office program but it's still doing it.  Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?  I really need that original formatting to stay put until I change it.

Filesize crashes with all the images in *.docx

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 10:08 AM PST

I've got a .docx file where anything I place-in to it: it losses all or part of the images (they're visible as errors on screen).

File is: https://mega.co.nz/#!oQsDERRY!mTAWQezanxDJuwtwjbH9xTwnmO4MpqrOLzSxLh1FcUI

What TO DO?

It just happens with ALL the previous files, as such. I just don't know what to do.

It just reduces ALL the images. I've replaced them manually in the past, but a better solution has to be proposed as it's simply too much and saving all of them from previous document just doesn't makes sense (I rather won't have original copies of them).

I've checked every other solution.

Documents revert back to read only after they have been used

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST

I have a home network between my Windows 7 and Windows XP. After several problems (I was scammed and then picked up some Malware, which has been removed) everything is almost fixed. However my documents in the Windows 7 are constantly reverting back to Read Only. They were all read only so I could do nothing with them but now I can turn the read only off. I don't remember how I did this. However, the next time I go to that document it is read only again and I have to turn it off constantly. How can I get this to stop?


I also have a nuisance message from WORD that pops up and asks me if I'm sure I want the program to allow changes to the hard drive on my computer every time I open WORD. Can someone help?

Track Changes

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 08:56 AM PST

Hi ,

 

I received an e-mail attachment Word 2007 document with tracked changes - which I accepted.  However, now the pages of the document with changes will not print out for me, and will not show up in Print Preview mode.  I have tried rejecting the changes but that is having no effect.

 

I could re-type this one document but the problem is the Tracked Changes seems to have affected 38 other documents I did over the past week and I really am up against deadlines so do not have time to redo an entire week's work.

 

Can anyone help.

 

Thanks,

Word 2010 start up/installation/reboot issues

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 07:21 AM PST

I'm running Windows 7 and I've owned/used Word 2010 for the past several years.  Today, I went to open Word and it says it has to apply updates, configure, etc.


...then is says the system must reboot in order to apply updates.  I click "yes" and reboot and the cycle begins anew.  I try to open Word, it says it has to apply updates, configure, reboot...

What have I done to this program and how can I correct it?

How can you determine your exact position on the page like you could in WordPerfect?

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 06:50 AM PST

I have had some things I needed to do in Word where I needed to know my exact position on the page vertically or horizontally (like what line I'm on on the page or my horizontal position on the page so I could match it) but cannot figure out if I am able to see that in Word.  This feature was a regular feature in WordPerfect 5.0 & 5.1 which I used to love.  EVERY single position vertically & horizontally had a position number.  Is there a way to determine that in Word?  As a page layout designer I really need this feature? Does anyone know what I'm talking about and if Word does this at all and how I can turn it on if it does?  Sorry if my words seem jumbled but having a hard time describing what I'm talking about.  I used Word 03 & 10


Thank you

Heading 1 Fonts and TOC

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 05:02 AM PST

Hallo aus New Jersey,

 

My OS is Win Vista Business with MS Office Word 2007(12.0.6690.5000) SP3 MSO(12.0.6683.5000).

 

I'm in the process of translating Deutshe Kultur from German to English. My Heading 1 and TOC works fine with default settings (Cambria(Headings) Font Size=14) but when I modify some parts of the text of my Heading 1 data(change font size as noted below) the change appears ok in the Heading 1 line but when I update the entire contents of my TOC it continues to display default settings font size. Is this normal? If so, can I just manually modify the text directly in my TOC?

 

Example:

 

Original

Heading 1:  FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE (1712-1786) - Gustav Freytag (1816-1895)

TOC: FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE (1712-1786) - Gustav Freytag (1816-1895)

 

Change

Heading 1: FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE(1712-1786) – Gustav Freytag(1816-1895)

TOC: FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE (1712-1786) - Gustav Freytag (1816-1895)

 

Dates are not raised as shown in my Change Example ...  guess the MS Community text editor did that when I copied/pasted from my document.

 

Change Details:

FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE  (Cambria(Headings) Font Size=14)

(1712-1786)  (Cambria(Headings) Font Size=8)

 – Gustav Freytag  (Cambria(Headings) Font Size=12)

(1816-1895) (Cambria(Headings) Font Size=8)

 

Thanks for your assistance!

Word 2010 Template with macros on network location not working

Posted: 05 Feb 2014 01:22 AM PST

Hi everyone, I have done extensive searching on this subject and have tried all the suggestions but I can't for the life of me get it to work.


I have created a template on a network location that can be accessed by other users within my group. This template contains a userform and some macros.


However, whenever I try to open the file, I receive the error "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to teh online help or documetation of the host application to determine how to enable macros".


In my main Word window, I get the Security Warning "Macros have been disabled." I cannot click the "Enable Content", as when I click the "OK" button in the message box, the yellow bar disappears.


I have tried adding the network location as a trusted location including using the full address (\\networkshare\ etc) but to no avail. The check boxes for "Allow network locations to be trusted" are all enabled.


I've run out of ideas. I don't want each user to take a copy of the file and save it locally in case I need to make some changes.


Are there any external factors that would prevent the macros opening? I believe it's not wise to "Enable all macros".


Thanks

Creating Links to Specific Words

Posted: 04 Feb 2014 08:07 PM PST

Hello,

 

Hope all is well. I generate a financial report every month comparing actual results to budget & I update a word doc narrative explaining variances to plan. The language doesn't really change month to month & I make references to the month end throughout the document.


Is it possible to create a reference link to a specific word? For example, if I change the month end date from December 31, 2014 to January 31, 2014 then all linked words would update as well?

Linking to Specific Cells in an Excel Workbook

Hello,

 

Hope all is well. I generate a financial report every month comparing actual results to the plan & I update a word doc narrative explaining variances to plan. The language doesn't really change month to month & I would love to set up some links in word so that balances update.


Is it possible to create a reference link to a specific cell in an excel workbook?  Thus if the number in the cell changes then the number in my word document updates & changes as well? 


So in the following statement, "the change of $50 million was driven by XYZ" The $50 million is linked back to an Excel workbook?

MS Word 2010 -> Convert to PDF -> Ctrl + F (Find a word) doesn't work in the converted PDF file.

Posted: 04 Feb 2014 05:17 PM PST

Hello. I had earlier posted this issue, but answer wasn't quite solving this problem.

 

I guess my question was not clear enough, so I'm re-uploading this issue with visual aids.

 

1) make a .txt file in MS word.

 

2) Save as PDF

 

 

3) Open the PDF and try to find a word through CTRL+F (Doesn't work)

 

 

I hope this would be easy enough to understand.

 

As it's seen, After converting .txt file into .pdf file through 'MS 2010 Word' and opening the .pdf file through 'Adobe Reader', CTRL + F doesn't work.

 

Some of you can think this might be caused by 'Adobe Reader', but this issue occurs only in MS 2010 Word.

 

It means it does work when we use MS 2007 Word for conversion with same 'Adobe Reader'. (CTRL +F works fine)

 

Your support would be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you

Adding 2000 Component To Basic 2003

Posted: 01 May 2006 04:35 AM PDT

Mike, as JoAnn stated, if the software came as part of the original computer
(says OEM or for distribution on a new PC only on the CDs although most OEMs
don't include Access IMHO) you would be in violation of the EULA if you
installed it.

If you are not going to be in violation of the EULA and want to try to
install it a few pointers. When the software setup starts you will want to
do a Custom installation. You will be asked to tell the computer where you
want to install it. Make sure that the preselected location is NOT the same
folder name as the 2003 version. I have on various computers installed
different combinations of Office 97, 2000, XP & 2003 S&T and Pro versions
all at the same time but to different folders. You can change the name of
the location easily by either adding or changing characters in the displayed
file structure.

If this installation fails, you may need to temporarily uninstall the 2003
version, install Access from the 2000 version and then reinstall the 2003
version. I have never had to do this but strange things may happen to
require it.

trial activation won't complete connection

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 07:42 PM PDT

That's not really going to work for me. I have to run Virtual PC and
emulate Windows and all that, and I have DSL which is always on. I
don't see how any of this will help.

The activation process starts just fine, but quits before it is
actually finished. It seems as if it's too slow and the program just
gives up. In my native Mac environment, connection speeds are
fantastic (and so is everything else), but I have no other option for
activtion except through the pull-down menu on PowerPoint.

How do I reinstall Word without CD?

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 12:42 PM PDT

Hi, 1newyorker,

It might be helpful to know that some lost, broken or missing software can
be replaced by Microsoft, but I believe that Office 2000 is no longer
available.

It may not help you now, but it might be good to know for future needs:

Rubbish, while unison's protocol is inspired by rsync, it uses
its own, which is bidirectional, faster then rsync and using far
fewer resources on both systems. Dunno where you get this from?

Ever tested this out? Try syncing hundreds of GB with rsync and
compare with unison, preferable over GB lan, then come back and
tell me which one is faster! ;-)

Assuming you have space on a destination partition, it is quite easily
done with tar. I don't know of any "conversion in place" utilities, and
they would be more dangerous than they'd be worth. The first step would
probably be "backup your data first to prevent any data loss."

Here are the steps to follow in general (adjust for your system):

1. Format destination partition with desired filesystem.
2. Mount both source and destination partitions
3. Use a tar command similar to as shown below (adjust for your system):

SRC=/mnt/hda1
DEST=/mnt/hdb1

(cd $SRC && tar -cpf - home/.) | (cd $DEST && tar -xvf -)

Caution: the above command does very little error checking. Refer to this
document for more detailed information:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/

Also, if you have may extensive use of hard links in the source, then the
restore will use more space on the destination. That is a special case
which might require the identification of multiply-linked files for
special handling.

You have a few ways of doing this:

1) Do a new isntall and then use the Redeployment Manager to mograte the data &
settings from the old system

2) Install the new CRM server, and select "use existing database" and select the
eisting database. Then, do a restore of the DB's to the new SQL box and follow
the other recovery steps to point CRM to the new server and re-establish the
replication.

Are you saying that you can print other things from the Works word
processor OK?

One thing you can try is highlighting the whole document (Ctrl-A) then
select Black for the text color and print.

Some color printers have problems with Works and get confused on the
color of the text and end up printing nothing.

You can also try going into the printer settings and selecting Gray
Scale rather than color for printing and see if that helps.

Word processor hangs

Posted: 27 Oct 2007 12:21 PM PDT

Hi Kevin,

Lets confirm you are using the Word processor for Works Suite.

Works Suite installs Microsoft Word and hides the Works Word Processor. My
suggestion about Normal.dot is for Microsoft Word.

Open your Word processor, what do you see when clicking Help, then on it's
menu choose About?

Window XP default setting is to hide some files, Normal.dot is in a hidden
file.

To show hidden files, open My Documents, choose Tools, on it's menu choose
Folder Options or go to Control Panel and choose the Folder Option folder.

In the Folder Options folder select the View tab, tick "Show hidden files
and folders".

While you are there I would also uncheck "Hide file extensions for known
file types".
