MY DOCUMENTS KEEP PLAYING HIDE AND GO SEEK... from my desktop when I browse to upload. What is happening?

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 01:22 PM PST

Recently I have been editing and saving my resume and cover letters frequently. I always save them to my desktop. Well... sometimes when I attempt to upload them as an attachment, as I browse to find the file, THEY DISAPPEAR! I always end up frantically trying to figure out where they are, and then suddenly they re-appear! It is making me crazy. Does anyone have an idea of what and why this happens?

Thanks for your time.

One document won't print; others OK

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 12:42 PM PST

One Word 2010 document won't print; others print normally.  A one-page document that I created with Word 2010 is sent to the print queue on command but then is ignored by the printer.  I've tried everything I can think of, including copying the document to a fresh sheet with a new filename, but it remains an outcast.  There is something about this one document that causes the printer to ignore it.  Does anyone have a suggestion that might help?

Find & Replace each word in a doc with different Criteria in batch mode

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 09:12 AM PST

How can i apply multiple search criteria to the document for obtaining a refined result/search? I 'tried' using wildcards -> ?[!a-z][!0-9][!^s] <- to find a character except from range a-z, range 0-9, and the non breaking space(^s). i.e. I do not want to find any character, any number or a space, but tabs, operators, special characters,etc. At least that s what i think it does. How can I use multiple "find what" criteria together in a document?

Adding HTML tags to selected text

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 07:27 AM PST

So lately I've had to to a lot of text prep for publishing on website, which requires me to add the HTML tags (mostly just H1, H2 and P) to the text. I was wondering if it's possible to be able to select a text, and then keybind a command (I'm guessing i'd have to macro this, possibly script?) to add chosen HTML <tag></tag> to the selected text, at the start and end, respectively.

So, for example, i'd select a paragraph in Word, press Ctrl+Alt+P, and it the paragraph would have <p> </p> tags added.

If this is possible, i'd love to know how, as this would greatly speedup my work.

Office 365 Word/Excel both crashing as soon as I save a simple document/spreadsheet

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 03:24 AM PST


My Office installation is unusable. If I start Word or Excel, create an empty document, and then save they crash immediately and the document/spreadsheet isn't even saved. I've disabled all addins in Excel, started in safe mode and the same thing happens. I've also changed the default printer as there was a suggestion that this might be the cause. Error dialog contents:

Office products - display freezing. Window resize refreshes it.

Posted: 15 Feb 2014 02:55 AM PST

System:
Windows 7
Microsoft office Professional 2013

I recently reinstalled Office after a reformat. Upon reinstall, all my office products have the same issue. Namely, when I change/add/delete content is makes 1 change and then the display will not show any further changes. The changes are definitely happening (I can resize text, move down the page, etc. but the display will not show the changes. Until, the window is resized. If I change the size of the window the display catches up immediately. But it will freeze again after the next change until the window is, again, resized. Very frustrating.
I have tested it in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and they all have the exact same issue. I assume it goes for all my Office products. I have posted this question in Word because it won't let me post if I don't choose a specific product, so my apologies.

I uninstalled and reinstalled in an attempt to fix it. No luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Office Web Apps 2013 + could not establish trust relationship

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 11:45 AM PST

We currently have a three tier SharePoint 2013 Farm:

1. Web Front End Server (Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) - Servername: TEST2SP013.domain.dom

2. Central Admin Server (Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) - Servername: TEST2SPCA013.domain.dom

3. SQL Server (Server 2012 Datacenter) - Servername: TESTSQL012.domain.dom

 

All Machines are in the same IP/Subnet.

 

We are trying to setup a new server (Server 2012 R2 Datacenter) (Servername: TEST022.domain.dom) to run Office Web Apps 2013 in our TEST environment to test the system before rolling in production and have had issues throughout the entire process.

The technet articles we have used are:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435.aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219627.aspx

 

We finally have what I thought was a correct setup but anytime we try to edit or view a word, excel, powerpoint document within SharePoint 2013, we receive "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."

 

We found a few How-To Setup Office Web Apps sites where other people provided step-by step instructions:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2012/10/29/install-configure-amp-monitor-office-web-apps-2013-for-sp-2013.aspx

http://www.wictorwilen.se/office-web-apps-2013-securing-your-wac-farm

http://blogs.technet.com/b/justin_gao/archive/2013/06/30/configuring-office-web-apps-server-communication-using-https.aspx

 

 

We reviewed the ULS logs and found the following error:

 

02/14/2014 13:38:40.24  w3wp.exe (0x1C04)                        0x1BB4 Office Web Apps                WAC Hosting Interaction        adhsk Unexpected WOPI CheckFile: Catch-All Failure [exception:Microsoft.Office.Web.Common.EnvironmentAdapters.UnexpectedErrorException: HttpRequest failed ---> Microsoft.Office.Web.Apps.Common.HttpRequestAsyncException: No Response in WebException ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. ---> System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.     at System.Net.TlsStream.EndWrite(IAsyncResult asyncResult)     at System.Net.ConnectStream.WriteHeadersCallback(IAsyncResult ar)     --- End of inner exception stack trace ---     at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult)     at Microsoft.Office.Web.Apps.Common.Ht... 7bed0d51-511d-4541-a059-e2f72942e617

 

 

 

None of the article provide specific step-by-step instructions with using HTTPS in a test environment specifically when it comes to Self-Signed Certs through Active Directory Certificate Services.

 

We tried creating a Self-Signed Cert through IIS on the Office Web Apps Box which did not work.

We tried creating a Cert through Active Directory Certificate Services which did not work.

We tried adding the Cert through Central Admin > Security > Manage Trust which did not help.

We verified "get-spwopizone" is set to internal-https

We can access the Web Apps https://test022/hosting/discovery site and view the XML with no issue on any machine on our network.

We added our domain to the list of approved domains that can use Office Web Apps as well as add "Domain Users" as the security group that can "EDIT" Office Documents through Office Web Apps.

 

After each step, we tried performing either a system reboot or IIS Reset on the Office Web Appcs and WFE box.

 

My Question is how do we generate a certificate (either self-signed through IIS on the Office Web Apps Box or through AD) that will allow this application to work? I read that the Fully Qualified Domain Name needs to be in the SAN field of the Cert but when we request it, I have no way of entering this information. I tried following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625722 to manually request a certificate with a Custom SAN but that did not work either.

 

I am assuming the certificate issue is with the New Office Web Apps box. Is this correct?

Heading 1 style and chapter number

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 10:48 AM PST

I have connected the Heading 1 style to the Chapter number; so I have "Chapter 1 Getting Started".

But I would prefer the word "Topic" that than "Chapter" in each heading. Can I do this?

Many thanks

How to get pinyin to appear above Chinese characters

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 10:12 AM PST

I am tired of this, I've upgraded to a worse version of office when I went to 2013 version.  It's not showing me any of the 2010 options for typing hanyu pinyin. I can write Chinese but not have automatic pinyin appear in the phonetic guide to display above the character.  I've run out of ideas to make it easier short of what I am doing is cutting and pasting characters sets from old 2010 files.  I need pinyin to appear above the characters, it was already difficult in 2010, because I had to loo up a fix.  Why did they do that? I would think there would be a huge market for the pinyin as that is the UN standard for mandarin Chinese.  And most know pinyin now overseas.  Are there fonts with ruby text in hanyu pinyin for windows 8.1 yet.  Is so frustrating. Can anyone suggest anything? I know pinyin joe is working on it but.. any fixes please?

Microsoft Word Picture/Image Printing problem

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 07:23 AM PST

I created a user manual for my business by pasting print screen shots from my website into a word document.  I think added text and text boxes.  The document looks great in print preview by when i send to my HP8600 printer the formatting is all off around the pasted pictures.  I tried saving as a pdf and the same thing happens when i print the pdf.  When i give the file to my partner - she is able to print it fine from her MS word 2013 program to the same HP8600 printer.  Do i have a setting wrong in my word program that is causing the pictures to format differently?  

Word template with embedded Excel sheet

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 04:39 AM PST

Hi 

I have a Word template that we use for invoices that has an embedded spreadsheet.
I would like to show the gridlines for user, purely as a guideline, but don't want the gridlines printed.

When in Word, View, I have ticked Gridlines (under Show/Hide)
When I double click on the embedded Excel, under Page Layout, the Gridlines to View are ticked, too, but the Gridllines to Print are shaded, i.e. can't change them.

When I print to PDF from here, the gridlines shown in the screen (which is what I want) ARE printed to PDF.

Can anyone help me rectifying this, please?

Adjusting Author / File Properties in Word 365

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 10:43 PM PST

I have Microsoft Office Home Premium 365 installed on my machine.  Originally, I used a more anonymous email address to set up the account (my personal email) but now want the documents to display my formal email address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***...).  I have removed every other alias or instance of the prior email address from the account settings wherever I could find them, but still the old one appears when I log in to word.  I just wasted 40 minutes on a call with the live support person, who had me uninstall and re-install all of MS Office 365, only for that to do nothing and him to tell me that it's unchangeable.

Word must be pulling that email address from somewhere, perhaps the initial installation.  One would think you could update an email address in 2014 without it tripping up the whole design of a cloud-based system.  

Anyone know an easier way to fix this than to cancel my MSO365 account, make a new one, and order it using the other email address...which seems an absurd amount of effort for such a minor change?

Thanks,
AA

Creating Option buttons in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:07 PM PST

I'm trying to create a form with option buttons. In the previous versions 2003-2010, I go to the Developer tab > Legacy Tools and choose the options button. But it is now missing in 2013. There is only one under Active X control but it works differently and isn't it for forms to be uploaded onto the internet?

Autocorrect entries are not saved when Word 2013 closed and reopened

Where are the office templates that I have used for years? my solution - not Microsofts.

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 05:15 PM PST

I used Office 2003 until last year, when I bought a copy of office 2010. When it installed, all my office templates were lost. It turned out to be a wrongly licensed copy, so I bought a correctly licensed copy of Office 2013 from Staples and downloaded the program. Now I have no templates. So I looked on line and found a fixit tool in the Office 2013 help section. Only trouble is it does not fix it. Says it will not work with Office 2013.


The manual method described in the help file seems to have no relevance to the required feature, as it describes a "Default custom template box" that does not exist. So I did a search for  *.dot, only to find about 600 .dotx files containing Microsft templates that I never use.
I then tried the manual method. I'll fix it myself
  1. Click Start > Run, and then type %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\ in the Open box.
  2. Copy the address in the File Explorer address bar.
  3. Click File > Options > Save, and then paste the address into the Default personal templates location box.

Unfortunately there is no address bar in the explorer of windows 7, just a series of folder names with drop down arrows under them. No file or options or save button. Who writes these so called help files. Not a user to be sure.


So I copied the files by selecting them by opening them one at a time and saving them to a folder:called C/users/howard/mydocuments/custom office templates/. They still work. Since 1982 I have always saved my documents in a folder at the top of the C tree. C/aaadocs. That way I can find them. Why do they have to make things so dificult with a filing system that never puts things where I want them to be put.
Sorry about the rant, but its taken me about two hours to get here.
Have a good day.

Office 365 still streaming after hours

I have Office 365 home premium. It. has been installed on this laptop for 6 months. Word and powerpoint stopped working in the middle of projects. I have been through all of the recommendations and now I have new problems.  I did the repair. Didn't help. I went into safe mode and there were no add ons.  Did the "fix it" recommendation and then the programs wouldn't even open. Then I did the uninstall and reinstall.  I can open the programs but there is a box in the right hand corner that says office is still streaming.  It has been doing this for hours.  My internet connection is fast so I don't know what to do now.  The other similar posts give me no new information.   I'm really tired of uninstalling and reinstalling.  I have work to do.

German Language Pack but wont let me proof.

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:32 PM PST

On my computer I have four language packs:
1. English (default)
2. Spanish (Downloaded)
3. German (Downloaded)
4. Chinese (Downloaded)

Now I can change my system language to any of the four and change back. That is not a problem.

The problem begins when I try to proof. Proofing works for English and Spanish but when I try to turn on German. It doesn't properly proof the text.

For example, I set it to German and I type the following:
"ich habe zwei bucher"  

Word does not try to capitalize "bucher."  *all nouns are capitalized in german*

I can also type the whole text in english and Word will simply recognize everything as correct, which is dumb. I can type chinese words and it will still recognize them as German words.

Basically word does not do anything except capitalizing the first word of the sentence.

Can anyone help me on this?

I tried to change the character spacing but it didn't help.  Can someone on here please help me out soon so I can finish my paper before its due on Sunday? 

I would really be grateful if you could, thanks!

Grammar checker in word 2013 not picking up a lot of things?

Filling out a form in Word 2013 that was created in Word 2010

I created a fillable form in Word 2010.  We had to update some of our computers & they were installed with Word 2013.  When someone opens the file from an email attachment, it opens in Word 2013 & they can fill out the form fine, one time.  When they save it & then go back to it, they can no longer edit the form or fill out any fields. 


Also, if the form is saved to the computer & then opened from the saved location, the form is no longer fillable or can be edited.  I can't figure out what is stopping this & how to correct it.

Macros para el comando "Insertar desde escáner o cámara" en Office 2013

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 12:21 PM PST

Todos saben que la opción "Insertar Imágenes desde Escáner o Cámara" ha desaparecido de Word y Excel 2013. Todos saben cómo obtener Imágenes desde Galería de fotos (botón Importar, creo), pero echan  de menos  la rapidez evidente en Office 2007. Por otra parte, he leído cierta divulgación basada en la macro siguiente:


InsertFromScanner Sub ()
On Error Resume Next
WordBasic.InsertImagerScan
End Sub



¿Alguien conoce algún método eficaz para que "desde Escáner o Cámara" aparezca disponible en el encabezamiento "Insertar" de Word y Excel 2013?

PC con Windows  Pro 8.1 con Media Center, Lenovo, 4 gigas de Memoria y no se que más menudencias.

Gracias a quien ponga remedio.  La macro citada no me ha servido de nada. 

ISSUE [to-improve] replace/ add image

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 11:31 AM PST

For instance when I click "save image" it always is the DEFAULT directory -> "pictures" and even IF I change it - it always is this

WHEN I want to 'replace picture' its inverse: it remembers the directory (last used) but doesn't remembers "pictures" (the one I use, because of the upper problem ^^)


FIX IT/ it's annoying to replace 100+ pictures searching always.

The problem is also with visibility of all file extensions (which could be replaced, i.e. 100% *.gif, *.png etc - it shows only ex. "jpg" and ALL).

overtype mode

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 10:03 AM PST


I see the question as having been previously asked, but I don't find an adequate answer. Why am I unable (sometimes) to use overtype mode via the insert key. I know that it is to be turned on under options--advanced, but while "use the insert key" is checked, its subcategory of "use overtype mode" is ghosted. Other times I can. Why. Don't mean to be a whiner, but this was never an issue in Word Perfect.

Using Word Templates

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 10:02 AM PST

I am helping my son use the template for the plumber resume in word 2010. We have put all of his information into the template, the information that we are not using has turned the color red and has a line through it, but I cannot figure out how to get rid of the template's information so that it is just his information.
Anyone know what I need to do???

Thanks,
Robin

Goto a bookmark or specific page in Word WebApp

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 09:38 AM PST

Hi,
I'm using the Office WebApp in my SharePoint 2013 environment and I have a question regarding the Word WebApp. Is it possible to open a document at a specific page (or bookmark) using a parameter? E.g https://webapp/_layouts/15/WopiFrame2.aspx?sourcedoc=/document.docx&action=default&page=10 

If it is not possible with a get parameter, a javascript (or any other) solution would be amazing :)

Age calculation

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 08:58 AM PST


A friend used this to calculate the age in the red rectangle.

{QUOTE{SET by {BirthDate \@ yyyy}}
{SET bm {BirthDate \@ M}}
{SET bd {BirthDate \@ d}}
{SET yy {DATE \@ yyyy}}
{SET mm {DATE \@ M}}
{SET dd {DATE \@ d}}
{SET md{=IF((mm=2),28+(mm=2)*((MOD(yy,4)=0)+(MOD(yy,400)=0)-(MOD(yy,100)=0)),31-((mm=4)+(mm=6)+(mm=9)+(mm=11)))}}
{Set Years{=yy-by-(mm<bm)-(mm=bm)*(dd<bd) \# 0}}
"The age is {Years} Year{IF{Years}= 1 "" s}."}


However, the value returned is 33 instead of 32 since the person will be officially 33 starting only on April.
How the coding can be modified to return 32 instead of 33?

Thanks,

conditional logic to add text to a form

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 08:35 AM PST

We're creating a form in Word and want to add conditional logic. In other words, if someone checks a box, then additional text appears (vs if unchecked doc stays as is.)
Any tips/tricks/info is greatly appreciated.

Document now in compatibility mode, hyperlinks dead

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 07:58 AM PST

I wrote a piece for work on my home computer a few months ago which contained many hyperlinks. Someone asked me for a copy yesterday but when I opened it before sending I found that it was now in 'compatibility mode' and all of the hyperlinks are dead. Nothing happens when I try to click on them (they are now pale blue and underlined rather than dark blue and underlined). They actually can't be clicked on at all. I'm guessing my version of Word was updated to 2013 without me wanting it to be (I was fine with the older version). I tried converting it to the current version but the hyperlinks are still dead. 

Can I just go back to my old version of Word? How can I get my hyperlinks back? There are too many for me to go through and redo them all.
It's really annoying when something was working perfectly well then things get changed without you asking for them to be and now it's a mess.

Thanks!

Microsoft Word - Print Defaults (Particularly Colour Settings)

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 06:10 AM PST

Good Afternoon All,

 

We are experiencing an issue with printing from Microsoft Word.

 

The issue we are having is in regards to Word ignoring the printer settings, for example:

 

We are using a FollowMe print solution, which allows users to print to the FollowMe queue and using a biometric fingerprint scanner, collect their documents at any printer. This FollowMe queue is set to Black and White by default and when the users was to print in colour the do File -> Print -> Properties and Un-Tick the Black and White checkbox.

 

Word is the only application having this issue and it only affects the Default Printer. If I set the default to another printer and then select the FollowMe queue, then Word adheres to the selected colour.

 

We're using Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus on Windows 7 Professional stations.

 

Hopefully, someone out there will be able to shed some light on this issue?

 

Many Thanks,

Luke

Compatibility pack to open doc.x files

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 05:38 AM PST

I have an old version of MS Word (don't know which one)   Two or three years ago I installed the Microsoft Compatibility pack to enable me to open doc.x documents.   It has suddenly stopped working.   When I try to open a doc.x I get the message "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc".  A page of computer code then opens.  
I therefore went to http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=3 and downloaded another version of

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats.  Before installing I was instructed to remove the existing version of the Compatability Pack via Add/Remove which I did.   I then installed the new .exe file which I had downloaded.   When I try to open a doc.x file however, I am still getting that message "Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc". 

Can anybody help me please?

"My SharePoint Sites" not listed in Word 2007 "Save as" window

Some users have this, and some do not.

 

In the screenshot below, I have highlighted "My SharePoint Sites" - this is what I want to have available:

Word Watermark to appear in front of table/text

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 10:17 PM PST

I am using Word 2007 'Page Layout' > Watermark > Custom Watermark > to add PAID in Goudy Stout, 36 font size, semi-transparent, red colour, diagonally across an invoice.  This appears as a 'rubber stamp' on the document.  

However, it appears as the background on the page, that is behind the text and clearly behind table borders and shading.  Suddenly the rubber stamp effect looks faked.  Is there anyway to force the watermark to the upper layer?

Thanks for support.

Using Skydrive in multiple locations

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 08:22 PM PST

I saved a document to skydrive on my laptop at home.  Later I was able to open this document from skydrive on my tablet at another location.  However,  I was not able to edit and then save it.  I got the error message:


The file xxxxx is checked out or locked for editing by someone else.


My question is thus what do I do on my laptop so that I can open and edit this document on my tablet somewhere else (or even at home)?  i.e. what settings do I use or activate and do I have to do this every time I save a Word document?  Or is there some master setting I can use so that I can then just save all my docs to skydrive and not worry about having to save them a special way?

Office 365

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 07:42 PM PST

Hi I have just purchased a subscription of Office 365.  I have used the trial, loved it and decided to purchase.  However every time I try to open document in Word, Outlook, Excel display the message: microsoft (xxx) has stopped working.  It then goes on to say: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  As yet - no notifications and I cannot use the programs.  ANY IDEAS.  I didn't have this problem with the trial program.

Publisher seems to work ok, haven't got old files to try Powerpoint and Access.

Mouse pad touch sensitivity.

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 04:54 PM PST

If, while I am typing, part of the thumb or palm accidentally brush the mouse pad, the cursor moves to a different line and enters text there. Sometimes it highlights text therefore removing many lines at a time and its frustating to have to retype it. Is there a toggle to turn the pad on and off?

Run-time error 5174

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 04:35 PM PST

I have several macros I use all the time. Occasionally I will get "Run-time error 5174" on one or two macros. I then click on a macro that opens four documents at the same time and this gets the problem macro to work. Now none of my macros work. What to do?

Embedded worksheet text larger than surrounding text on printing/PDF export

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 03:38 PM PST

In Office 2013, I have a Word document with several embedded worksheets.

The text in the word document is all Times New Roman, 12pt.

The text in the embedded worksheets is also Times New Roman, 12pt.

The embedded worksheet's size is at 100% (under "Format Object" -> "Size").

On-screen, the text IN the embedded worksheet looks the same size as the text outside the embedded worksheet.  Screenshots confirm that Word is rendering in-worksheet and out-of-worksheet text exactly the same size on screen.

But if we print the document (or export to PDF), the text inside the embedded worksheet is suddenly larger (noticeably, and measurably) than the text outside the embedded worksheet.  Screenshots of the exported PDF confirm that, post PDF-export, the text that was in the embedded worksheet is being rendered on-screen as larger than the text that was outside the embedded worksheet.  However, editing the PDF with Acrobat Pro shows that both in-worksheet and out-of-worksheet text is still "Times New Roman 12pt."

Is this a known problem? Why does text in an embedded worksheet print/export visually larger than text in the Word document itself?

Thanks in advance.
