| Page Formatting Posted: 27 Feb 2014 03:13 PM PST I have Office 2010 and recently I have had trouble formatting page numbers to word documents. When I attempt to insert page numbers, this is what I get: Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES} and I am unable to change it. I don't remember hanging anything in the "format" section. Additionally, when I attempt to copy/paste from a website into a word document I get this: {HYPERLINK...} and then I have to physically right click to remove the hyperlink. Please help. |

| Why aren't tabs imposed in text then reflected in the "column" of status bar? Posted: 27 Feb 2014 02:44 PM PST The cursor position as per the column indicator of the status bar does not take into account the use of tabs imposed in the text. For years I have designed my probate estate inventories with the figures lined up correctly, but there is absolutely nothing I can find in my new word software that gives me an accurate and consistent indication of exactly where the end position is of my figures. I put the cursor at one position in the text, and it says one thing. Then I go to another line of text and place my cursor at where it looks like the same position, and the crazy column position is vastly different. It makes no sense ... ??? The only rationale I can give to the distinction is that I have used the tab function to advance over in certain lines, and not in others. But the column position indicator on the status bar does not take the tab advancements into effect. Perhaps my formatting design is not what the Word designers prefer? |

| Linked Excel Charts Slows Down Word Opening/Closing Posted: 27 Feb 2014 12:57 PM PST I created a series of linked excel charts/cell ranges to place into a single word document. There are typically anywhere between 50 and 100 links in the file and the issue that has come up is: the document takes a long time to open (over 2 minutes) because Excel opens every Excel file referenced in the Word doc. The links were placed into the word document via: Paste Special -> Paste Link -> Microsoft Office Excel Chart Object (or Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object) I had found a solution online that essentially was adding two registry keys: DelayOleSrvParseDisplayName and NoActivateOleLinkObjAtOpen. This solved the issue of speed (opened instantly) without opening every instance of Excel. The issue that this brought up however was for some charts/objects, the link was broken/not found for reasons I can't figure out (the source file was not moved/renamed or anything of the sort). And for the links that were not broken, updating certain charts resulted in distortion of the horizontal and vertical axes to point where they were unreadable. I was wondering if anyone knew of a fix either using these two new registry keys or a fix without them to increase speed of opening the documents and ease of updating. Thanks in advance.

| Random de-spacing throughout documents when transitioning between Word 2010 and Word 2007 Posted: 27 Feb 2014 12:24 PM PST I'm editing a book. The files are shared/passed via DropBox, with which we've never had issues. The difference between the two computers is one machine uses Microsoft Word 2007 while the other uses Microsoft Word 2010. A chapter will appear edited to perfection on one computer then appear on the other computer filled with new errors. The errors made in transition are these: --Spaces between periods and beginning of the next sentence disappear. Example: Do you like green eggs and ham? Would you eat them in a box? becomes Do you like green eggs and ham?Would you eat them in a box? --Spaces around most proper names. Example: Jack Sprat could eat no fat becomes JackSpratcould eat no fat. --Seemingly random space removal between words in the middle of a sentence. Solutions? Or are Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft Word 2010 simply incompatible? |

| For Word 2010, can you advise on how to use field codes within a formula. Posted: 27 Feb 2014 09:50 AM PST For Word 2010, can you advise on how to use field codes within a formula. I put a section break and restarted numbering after the main section of the report, and am trying to get a cumulative page number for the main report and a subreport following the main report.

| Office 2013 Home and Business Posted: 27 Feb 2014 08:41 AM PST Through a 4 tech support person arduous process, it was found, last October 2013, Office 2013 did not offer, in the print dialog the option: Print what? "Document showing markup." Printing a final document showing vertical change lines - denoting the changes - was impossible. The document displayed would be correct with only the desired information - with the change lines on the side margin. The printed version would print everything that had been in the document and everything that was added. As a result, the document was longer with each page displaying everything. Individual pages would flow onto the next page resulting in an unusable document. Has this been corrected and updated for users of Office 2013? if this works, I will post a screen shot of Office 2007 showing the print dialog box with the option (which was/is missing from Office: The following is the current setup for showing where any content was changed: Currently, I have a very small $240 paper weight consisting of an unused Office 2013 program.

| Select Entire Column (Word) Posted: 27 Feb 2014 08:32 AM PST In previous versions of Word, there used to be a keyboard command to select an entire column in a table. In 97, it was something like Right Click+Shift (I think), and in later versions, it was something more complex that I could stumble across with enough pecking... But now, in 365, it seems that the only options are Shift+Alt+PgDn or Shift+Alt+PgUp. Both of those only select the column from the point of the cursor... In other words, if you're halfway down your table, you need to scroll to the beginning or end to select the entire column. Is there a way to do it "the old way" - that is, regardless of where the cursor is in the table, you can select an entire column? (And, yes, I recognize that the time and effort to come to this website, figure out my password, and type this post is probably greater than the time and effort it will take for me to scroll around the next five years' worth of tables, but...) |
| Microsoft Word 2013: Page Number Posted: 27 Feb 2014 08:04 AM PST I'm now working on a word document. The first page of my document is my cover page; follow by the 2nd page, the content page and the rest, started from the 3rd page onward is my document content.
Here's the problem, I wish to make page number, starting as number 1 for the 3rd page and onwards. I wish not to see any page number, I mean nothing at the header and footer section of my 1st and 2nd page of document, but only page number 1 for my 3rd page and onwards. How? I tried using the "different first page" option, but that doesn't seem to fix my problem at all. Pls feedback to me with a detail step-by-step guide. Thank you. |
| Word 2010 - Nested styles ? Posted: 27 Feb 2014 07:29 AM PST Hello there, I'm not sure the word "nested" is appropriate and I'm pretty much already convinced there is no built-in solution for my problem but I'm asking it anyway -- out of curiosity at least. Here is the situation : I use styles a lot in Word and find them very useful to get a good and automated page layout. In particular, I have a style for regular body text and another one for bullet lists. It works great but I'd like to define a new syle 'on top' of theses two to define a specific background color (in order to highlight some parts in a document). It would need to be a block style since there are some paragraph breaks in my block, thus I need to activate the "keep paragraphs together" option -- sorry if it's not the correct translation, I don't work with the English version of Word -- otherwise there would be some blanks in the background between the lines with a inline style. The trouble is such a style would override the existing styles (Body text and List paragraph in my example) and break my page layout. Therefore, I was wondering if some kind of "nested" styles does exist in Word ? This way, I could define a top-level block style for my background color and second-level block styles for my body text and bullet lists that would override only specific settings of my top-level style. But I've never seen such a feature in Word and I guess it's not possible because that would mean to have 2 different styles attached to the same element. EDIT : the result can be achieved by using a single cell table and putting my block inside. I'm still interested in the "style way" because it would allow me to easily identiffy these blocks throughout the whole document. Any help or advice would be much appreciated :-) Thanks for your time ! |

| Word 2013 docx document not showing the same formatting in Word 2010 Posted: 27 Feb 2014 06:24 AM PST I have read on so many sites that a docx document created in Word 2013 will open in Word 2010. Well, it will open but the formatting will NOT be maintained in exact form. If anyone would like to help out with this issue please reply to this discussion. I have documents that must be used by many different companies and all of them do not have Office 2013, in fact most of them either have Office 2007 or Office 2010 with just a very few now have upgraded to Office 2013. The documents we create are very complex in nature with many drawings, graphics, tables and, text boxes as well as using 2 column formatting for textual content. |

| Word 2010 Spell Check Ordinal Issue Posted: 27 Feb 2014 03:14 AM PST I work on a helpdesk and a user has reported a strange spell checking issue which seems to be related to ordinals. Here is a screen shot below: 
Even though the text after the ordinal is misspelt, it is completely ignored. It doesn't matter what the text is, as long as it appears after an ordinal (superscript or not) it will be ignored. Other misspelt words that are not after ordinals are detected as expected. The user is in a Citrix Windows 2008 R2 environment and is the only one experiencing the issue. I have looked at the various options regarding ordinals, auto correct, etc, but I am unable to replicate the issue. Because of the environment I am unable to repair the install as it is server based and clearly works for other users on the same server. I have tried running Word in Safe Mode which resolves the issue but is not a permanent fix. I have searched this forum and Google but have not found anyone else reporting the same issue. Does anyone know how I may resolve this? |
| Yes, but how do you turn it on? Posted: 27 Feb 2014 01:44 AM PST That's how I feel right now. I use Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows 7 platform. Everything has been fine with the Word program for a very long time. Recently I opened it and noticed a change. Here's what's going on: The FILE tab to the far left is highlighted and is now the default instead of HOME (second from left). If I want to, say, add Bold, I have to click on HOME then Bold. Then, as soon as I do that, the darn thing defaults right back to the FILE tab. It's driving me nuts. Every time I want to set some parameters for a page, I now have to keep jumping back to Home first, then make one change, then do the whole thing again for the next change I choose. I've run through the Help files, played around with everything I could find and--no luck. So, yeah, right now I feel like this is a truly dumb question like, "Yeah, but how do I turn it on?" Know what I mean? Can somebody, anybody, tell me how the heck to get my HOME tab back to the default so that puppy sits there forever unless I decide to change it? I wouldn't mind defaulting the line spacing from 1.5 to 1, and end the "add a line" at the bottom of that command either. And, come to think of it, the Font and Size, too. Okay...I'm done dreaming now. Thanks to anybody who can help me out with this... Kay W. |

| This app can't run on your PC Posted: 26 Feb 2014 04:49 PM PST Related to: Cannot find Office (or other applications) Installed on Windows 8 / 8.1 Ok so I have a Toshiba laptop that I got in 2011-ish. I just got Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium 12/25/13 and installed it last week. Before now I never used it because I didn't know where to find it. Figured that out today so now it's pinned to start. Now my problem is that every time I try to open a new Word document it asks how do you want to open this file? and I look on the menu for Word but it's not there. I've tried Notepad and stuff but I need Word for school. Is there anything I'm messing up or need to do? Plus when I click on the app pinned to the start screen it takes me to the desktop but no windows open at all. *Do I need to upgrade to Windows 8.1?* |
