Cross References in Footnotes not Updating Posted: 10 Feb 2014 02:59 PM PST Hi I've a lengthy document (almost 200 pages, so far) with a ton of footnotes (also pushing 200, so far) and included in many of the footnotes are comments such as 'This is discussed further in Section "Section Name" - see page "pagenumber" ' and in these cases, I am using the cross-reference feature to insert the name of the section and its page number. A truly wonderful feature, thank you, MSFT. But. The page numbers don't update. I think I know why. If I do a Ctrl-A then an F9, I notice that while the entire document text appears to be highlighted, the footnotes do not appear to be selected. If I go through and individually update the cross-references, I believe that would work, but there are maybe 50 - 100 of these so far, hidden away in among the almost 200 footnotes, and the time it would take to find them and update them - well, it would be an hour or more each time. Yuck. Oh - doing a print or a print preview doesn't generate an update event in the footnotes, either. So, my question. How to get the cross references in footnotes to automatically update? Many thanks for any assistance anyone can offer. David. |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 02:29 PM PST After nearly a year of working fine (or close to fine), Microsoft Office started giving me problems yesterday. It first said that it would not let me save a document because it did not recognize my registration. I then then tried to do both the quick repair and online repair (supposed to fix all of the problems) and it made Office completely inaccessible. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Word 2013 on Windows 8. When I try to open a Word doc (blank or saved file), I get the message "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly . Would you like us to repair now?" If I click yes, it once again gives me the option of doing the quick or online repair. Neither one works.
I tried to open PowerPoint to see the result and I got the error message "Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this product. You should repair the Office Program by using the Control Panel." This was the suggestion that got this looping series of problems started.
Help is appreciated. I lost an entire day on this yesterday. |
Manual to Automatic Lists Word Posted: 10 Feb 2014 02:26 PM PST Hi all,
I have a manual list in word, for example: 1. this is a test a. this is right b. this is wrong c. this is c d. this is d
and I would like to convert it to an automatic list (lined up)
due to the quantity of questions I am unable to do this manually. please help! thanks |
Need a little help formatting linked Excel info into Word 2007 Posted: 10 Feb 2014 01:16 PM PST Good afternoon, and thank you for your time. I can link cells of information from Excel to Word (just figured that out), but my text is not lining up properly when I look at it on the Word document or when it prints (it looks worse after printing).
For example, I have typed "Test Info:" in a Word document and then to the right I've linked information from a spreadsheet. The linked information looks as if it has a bar underneath in the gray box the linked information is located in, and when I print this to a PDF the linked information appears to be 1/2 a carriage return higher than the "Test Info:" text. I've tried messing with the STYLES in Word, tried changing the formatting in Excel to align the text to the top, middle and bottom, matched formatting on both documents and I can't seem to get the text to line up properly. When I highlight the pasted text, it does not include the extra space underneath the linked text. |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:29 PM PST Help! I am using tables to create a nifty, neat form with a lot of fields in it. I want the field titles ("Name:", for example) not to be underlined, but would like a bottom underline for cells where the answer should be written or typed. When I select a cell and choose "underline" from the drop-down borders list, it sometimes works. But other times it underlines the adjacent cell as well, or even the whole row. Aaaarrgghh!!! Is there a trick to making it submit to my firm but benevolent commands? |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:26 PM PST When using Word 2013 quite frequently the / (lower case) ? (upper case) key will convert to an e (accent acute) in lower case and E (accent acute) in upper case. To get back to the default functions of the key I have to close the program and reopen it. Any suggestions? |
Office 365 Word crashes on Windows 7 Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:24 PM PST I have installed Office 365 University (cloud not media) on my Win 7 laptop. I open Word 2013 by Start or clicking on a doucment. All results are the same as described below. "This message can appear if, in a document you previously had open, you made changes to items such as styles and formatting, macros, toolbars, or AutoText, and those changes were not saved to the Normal template (Normal.dotm). If you click Yes, the items in the Normal template, including any changes, will be available to all documents to which the Normal template is attached. If you click No, the changes will be discarded from the template. If you do not think you made changes to the Normal template, be cautious about loading it, because potentially malicious macros can be distributed in this way." I have selected both Yes and No. Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4551.1505, time stamp: 0x525f7150

Hebrew pastes in the wrong direction Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:19 PM PST When I copy and paste Hebrew text from a website into Word, it pastes in the wrong direction (LtR instead of RtL). If I click the Right-to-Left Paragraph ribbon button, it right justifies the paragraph instead of changing the text direction. Pasting works correctly in Notepad, but not in Word. |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 11:39 AM PST The past month or two Word has crashed every time I CUT (Ctrl-X) any text, resize the window, and occasionally paste (Ctrl-V) text. It says it has to close and restart. When it does it returns to my document but it is renamed "Name (Repaired)." This is so annoying. I rand all the fixes available, and then I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it from the original disk. No changes!! Can anyone tell me what is going on? |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST I need to create a template for meeting minutes that forces the minute taker to do a SAVE AS when they start taking minutes, in order to prevent them from saving over the template by accident.
Thanks! |

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 09:42 AM PST Hi, I would like to buy a tablet with keyboard but before I do, I need to know that I will be able to buy Microsoft Word and be able to write documents on the tablet. I am thinking of purchasing the "Tagital® 7" Android 4.2 4GB MID Capacitive Touch Screen A13 Tablet". Would it work to be able to download and purchase Microsoft Word so that I can write documents with this particular tablet? Thanks so much. |
Spell Check in Word 2013 not working on very large file Posted: 10 Feb 2014 08:28 AM PST I am using Word 2013 and WIndows 8.1. I have a very long document (close to 700 pages) in which the Spell Check function will not work. I do not want to break up the document because does so will mess up my footnotes. Spell Check seems to have stopped working at about 300-400 pages. Is this a limitation of Word 2013 or is there a way that I can get Spell Check to work again? I already made sure that the "Do Not Check Spelling and Grammar" box is not checked. |
Help! - How can I add pages to this Word template? Nothing is working Posted: 10 Feb 2014 08:13 AM PST Here is the template http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/proposal-modern-elegance-design-TC010379451.aspx I need more of both the internal page formats. I've tried inserting page breaks, converting to compatability mode and going onto the designer tab, copying and pasting, everything I could find in the support forums, and nothing is working. I'm on a deadline with a client project and have wasted hours on this so far. I would give up but have already invested a lot of time into the other pages. I'd be so grateful for a solution. Thank you! |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 07:46 AM PST I am trying to make a training aid for my agency. It is basically mimicking a website where the students will have to fill in the blanks, but, I need to have the information repeat in other blanks as they type. They will type in a blank and push a "continue" button (Hyperlink) to the next page. I need to have the same information that they typed on the first page, appear in a field on the second page. How can I do this in very simple terms? |
Can drop down menus make different tables visible? Posted: 10 Feb 2014 07:14 AM PST Hello, I am looking to have a drop down menu contain 2-3 options. Depending on what option is selected i would like a different table to become visible. for example: The drop down menu would contain, approved, pending more testing, rejected. if someone is to select the approved drop down a table would become visible with columns for certain information contacts and related information if someone is to select the pending more testing drop down a table would appear with columns more suited for the selection to write contacts/related information. Right now the word document currently contains all 3 tables for the 3 selections and causes quite a messy looking document that I would like to clean up. Any help on this would be fantastic! Thank you!! |

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:51 AM PST I am using Windows 7 Professional and Windows Live Mail. Having installed Office 365, I was initially able to print out all emails and all Word doc.x attachments. Suddenly I am no longer able to print out any emails and Word doc.x attachments. These start Word 2013 but cause an error message saying that it is unable to start the application and that perhaps file permissions may be the problem. Word 2013 now starts in compatibility Mode. Is this the problem and how do I edit file permisssions?

How can I recover lost files previously saved on my PC? Posted: 10 Feb 2014 04:16 AM PST I no longer have access to previously-created word documents, excel spreadsheets, my pictures and other files previously saved and stored on my PC. Here's the problem that preceded this: When I started my PC yesterday, I received a message saying it needed to initiate repairs and this could take over an hour. When that time passed, the next message was that repairs could not be made, but try one of about 3 options to get running again. I chose an option and this restored my desktop. However, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint weren't on it. So I contacted live chat Microsoft help, and they helped me reinstall Microsoft office. I thought I was all set, but then I saw that all I could access were recent sky drive documents. When I look for files saved previously on my computer. nothing is listed or available. Please can you help me retrieve these? Appreciate all help and thank you.

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:26 AM PST Hi there In Word 2010 when you wished to create a new document based on a template that was saved somewhere other than Custom Office Templates the option was available to select "New from existing" and you could then navigate to where the document was saved eg USB. Does anyone know how this same action can be completed in Word 2013? Sabina |
Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:04 AM PST While working with Word and Excel 2007, the window suddenly closes and an error report appears saying that Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. There are two options 'Send error report' and 'Don't send'. Whether you send or not the file re-opens and after some time the same error message appears again. I have tried to re-install Office 2007. In the beginning it works well but after some time it is the same thing. Another colleague is having the same problem but only if she uses the formatting options available, like bold, italic etc. Can anyone suggest a solution? |

How do I find shaded text in a large document? Posted: 09 Feb 2014 11:54 PM PST I am working with a large document with many tables and would like to find those cells which are shaded a particular color so I can edit them. Is this possible? If so, how? The shade I'm seeking is a theme shade, not a custom one. I use Office 2013 and Windows 8.1. Thank you... |
Date and time create of the document Posted: 09 Feb 2014 10:56 PM PST I have requested my client to furnish certain information as a part of my assignment. Now it is very critical for me to know whether the client gives me information which is already there or is he working after my request. That serves my answer for "compliance" or "noncompliance". Conventionally we can get to know time and date of creating the document by right click to file and properties section. However when you copy the file which has been received through email attachment from the client, it shows the date & time precisely when it is copied/ downloaded to the local desktop/ hard disk. Is there a way to find out when the document was "really" created by the client user ? |

Document changes when I print-words are cut off Posted: 09 Feb 2014 09:44 PM PST I have created a document that fit perfectly into the size paper I needed to use with no problem. When I go to print preview or try to print I only get part of the document, the sides are cut off. For example, the document created begins with "Dear Ray," when I print I get "r Ray,". This must be some kind of margin problem but I can't figure it out. It printed prefectly 3 days ago and saved at that time. |
Use MDB files in new version of Office Posted: 09 Feb 2014 08:06 PM PST My father used his old computer to make a mailing list. His computer had Office 2007. The computer's motherboard eventually got fried, so we transferred the files to an external hard drive, and he got a new laptop with Office 2013. When we opened the document that had been linked to the mailing list, an MDB file, Word did not recognize the file. It was visible in file explorer, but not in the "select data source" window, even when selecting "All Data Sources" from the pulldown menu. Is there a way to get Word to open this mailing list? Otherwise, is there any way to retrieve the data from this file? |
Posted: 09 Feb 2014 07:06 PM PST When I first got my computer the Word document Creater and reader worked fine but the out of the blue it stopped working.

I was trying to upload an image of what has happend to one of my documents but the file upload system on this site doesn't appear to be working. How do I fix this? |
