Microsoft Word - MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Microsoft Word - MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 01:05 PM PST

It's a multi-OS environment and unless there's a rapid fix then we'll be going entirely to OpenOffice/LibreOffice very soon.  Zero chance of ditching the Linux machines running LibreOffice for an all MS environment. 

Also, when opening files created in LibreOffice Impress that were saved in .ppt format (because MS Office is completely helpless to open LibreOffice files at all when they're saved in their native format, even though Impress can open any Powerpoint file with no problem) when they open the text is often screwy and everything has the squiggly red spell-check line underneath it.  

Office 365 Home Premium: what happened to streamed applications like Word & Excel?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 12:26 PM PST

What happened to streamed applications? I was using Microsoft Word and Excel just last Friday as streamed applications (which I love and need) and now I can't find the link for this anywhere.

I am NOT looking to install office. I'm talking about the streamed applications (I don't know MS terminology -- "on demand"?). All I know is when I logged on to Office.com there were links to stream the applications about halfway down the page. Now everything is changed (and messed up) on that page.

Help! I have a deadline!

Thank you,

Formatting the List of Figures/Tables

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 12:22 PM PST

I was wondering about formatting the Table of Figures.  I used all of the built in capability for creating the caption and the Table of Figures.  When I do, I get something like this for long captions:

Figure 1.1 This is a very

long caption..........................2

(In case the formatting of my sample does not show, in the second line of the caption, the word 'long' is directly under 'Figure' in the line above)

I was wondering if there is an easy was to get the second line aligned with the beginning of the caption text:

Figure 1.1 This is a very

                 long caption....2

(Again, in case the formatting of my sample does not show, in the second line of the caption, the word 'long' is now directly under 'This' in the line above)

Finally, is there an easy way to remove 'Figure' from the Table of Figures and just leave the number (so 1.1 instead of Figure 1.1), but of course leaving the number in the actual caption where the figure in shown?

Thanks,

DJ

Replacement Normal.dotm file not being loaded by word

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:29 AM PST

We have a group policy that replaces everyone's Normal.dotm file with a company letterhead file. The file is getting pushed to the workstation in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates folder (Windows 7) but when they open Word they get a blank file. Renaming the Normal.dotm file on their computer to something like Normal2.dotm will allow me to open it and see that the letterhead information is in there.

The strange thing is that it doesn't work for some people but does for others.

The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:29 AM PST

Hey Jeeped--

So I have a problem with a Word Document of mine and I had seen that you had responded to some similar problems with successful solutions. I didn't know how else you contact you personally so I hope you (any everyone else) are not bothered by my not-pertinent comment. If there is a better way to correspond with you please let me know! In the meantime, if you would be so kind, i had a super important inquiry:

I have been working on a word document (class notes for a Business Associations class) since January 1, 2014. I have never had any problems regarding opening the document and such. Today, as I was opening the document, I got the following message:

"The File BATWO cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."

When I open the "Details" it specifies that "the file is corrupt and cannot be opened."

Finally, when I click "OK," it tells me that "word found unreadable content in BATWO. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If your trust the source of this document, click Yes."

When I click yes it simply goes back to the first message saying that the file cannot be opened.

I have put a lot of work into these notes and I have tried many of the options I have seen (including some of yours). However, it has been to no avail. Could you please help me out here?

With Microsoft Office available for free on outlook accounts what's the use of buying the entire Office 2013/2010 suite??

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:13 AM PST

I spent quite a sum buying the Office 2010 Professional plus 3 years ago along with Windows 7 Ultimate. Now that Microsoft  has made Word, Excel free for all outlook accounts, I feel betrayed. Most of my work is done using Word/Excel and sometimes PPT. But now by making it free, I cannot actually trust Microsoft with another new product. what are the chances I'm not being taken for a ride?? Say if I buy this new product today, they may make it free online  tomorrow . Anybody with an Internet connection (almost everyone with a computer or mobile phone has one) can make documents/Excel spreadsheets at no real cost.

That isn't fair...

Also what's the point in still advertising Office 365 or 2013 when you've distributed that same product online for free??

I really can't imagine what's going on within Microsoft at the moment. I can only think of one good reason why they've decided to make Word/Excel free - to counter Google docs. It's really pitiful to see that instead of coming up with a better solution Microsoft have settled for a fistfight with Google. Microsoft must listen to their customers. They can't go on behaving arrogantly forever. they must realise that their customers are their lifeblood. Once you lose their trust you can't go on for long. For starters, why not show your solidarity to your loyal customers by supporting Windows 7 with a new service pack(Windows XP had three!!)??

Will these guys ever learn??

Theme change is not sticking in Microsoft Word (Office 365)

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 10:22 AM PST

I am trying to change the theme in MS Word (Office 365 Home Premium), but when I select Dark Gray nothing happens. I have changed it under Account and under Options, and although the Dark Gray theme appears as a selection in both places, the color has not changed. I have closed and re-opened Word. Any more suggestions? The white theme is making me crazy. ;-)

Thanks,

Issues with Word 2013 and Onedrive

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 09:30 AM PST

My company and I are having the following issue: Microsoft Word 2013 crashes repeatedly when working together or alone on a shared document with Onedrive.

Each of us are working on different computers in different regional offices; however, we are all using Word 2013. I know that there is an option to work on the document via the web but we've chosen to edit in Word since it is easier to format. Also, Word crashes when scrolling, saving (uploading to Onedrive), or typing. It will state that word has stopped responding and will try to resolve the issue. Word will then close out completely with or without restarting us back in the original document. This happens when only one person is editing the shared document as well as when we are all working together. 

Looking for suggestions or solutions and any assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated!

Formatting Page Numbers in a Table of Contents

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 09:10 AM PST

I am in a time crunch with my issue. I am sure there are threads out there that I can reference but I do not have the time to do so. I need to know how to format the pages numbers within a table of contetns to reflect the page numbers in a document. The document has multiple sections and the pages are numbered by section; for example, the pages in section 1 are numbered 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. How can I get the table of contents to insert the page numbers in this way?

Thanks you very much in advance!

Bibliography Style missing in Word 2010

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:55 AM PST

Hi,

I'm using MS Office Professional Plus 2010 on a Windows 7, 64bit edition. In word, under the references tab, office says the Bibliography style is "missing".

Things I've tried to solve the issue, all without success:
Through control panel > Programs and Features
* "Change" MS office and re-installing the plug-in for bibliography
* "Repair" MS office

I've installed Service Pack 2 for MS office 2010 on my pc, no sign of Service Pack 1 though. Could this be the issue?

Thanks for your help.

Hidden field code

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:36 AM PST

I have a document with a {DOCPROPERTY "DocID"} code in it and for some reason the results are hidden.  I can display the actual code by using Alt+F9 but the results will not display.  I checked the format and it is not hidden text.  There are several other fields in this document (TOC and Date/Time) that are displaying without problems.  I've tried removing the code and reinserting a new one but have the same results.

Ideas?

How do I unlock Word 2003?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 07:43 AM PST

I have read the answers to similar questions and they didn't work.

Word 2003 is activated and has been since I instilled it.

I use it everyday constantly and have used it thousands of times. It is not any kind of trial version. I bought it in a store a long time ago (2003). I just tried to create a PDF and got the locked (by me) message (nothing about password). I've created hundreds of PDFs and it has never done this before.

Can someone give me step by step e.g. 1, 2, 3, instructions to unlock it?

Vertical Scrolling Disabled

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 07:20 AM PST

Every time I start a new document in MS Word 2013, the vertical scrolling is disabled. I have to go through the hassle of selecting "Options" from the file menu, clicking "Advanced," and then scrolling down to the "Display" section and selecting "Show vertical scroll bar." 

Is there a way to make vertical scrolling a default setting? Or at least a way to customize my toolbar to allow me to display the vertical scroll bar without going through the elaborate mechanism of going through the "Options" menu?

when adding images to a docx or odt file type they are stored in the xml as images dated 1899.

 

why is this?

 

to replicate:

create any Office document, Word, Excel or PowerPoint

copy a image or image crop from another application like MS Paint

paste into document

save & close application

 

copy resulting file and rename extension of file to zip

open zip

explore zip content for folder named 'media'

Highlighting text

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 05:03 AM PST

I have a 2,000+ page document which uses highlighting for specific texts.  I want to make the document available to others, but want to remove the highlighting first.  When I attempt to select the entire text and NO COLOR the document does not change existing highlighting.  It actually makes the highlighting unchangeable.  When I use the same feature on specific texts it works for two times then freezes the highlighting also.  I think the length of the DOCX may be part of the problem.  Got any ideas?

Linking Templates

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 04:30 AM PST

Hi All,

I have asked this question before, and I did not really understand the response (my limited knowledge, has anybody got a step by step guide, on how to create a template from an existing template and linking them,

So for instance I was to change the LOGO - in all linked templates the LOGO would update?

Referencing in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 04:17 AM PST

I have been writing a word document for a university report successfully referencing my material by adding a reference, then selecting "insert citation".

It would then display in the document in the normal style..

(Cartledge, 2012) and the reference table at the bottom of my document would display properly.

However, I have just had to repair my office 2013 product due to the document not displaying all the pages whilst still remaining the same file size and displaying all words in the word count.

I have still found a way around this problem by saving the file to 2003 format and then copy/pasting then information into a new document.

But when I try to re-insert the references they will now not display properly. They show up as 

{CITATION dav03\|2057}

It appears in this format in the document and in the bibliography at the bottom. I have tried adding new sources, using my previous master list sources.

This is really frustrating me now.

Advanced nested TOC

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 09:26 PM PST

I wish to create a document with 3 levels of TOC's -

The document is organized into "Titles," then "Chapters," and inside that "Sections."

So I would like to create automatic TOC's in the following order: (smallest and deepest first)

First for the "Sections" - Next for the "Chapters" which contain multiple "Sections" - and then a final main TOC which includes both the "Titles" and the H1 Tag for the "Chapters"

Can get it all to work with bookmarks for the "Titles" - and use the b\ switch to display the TOC for each bookmark...

But then to get the "Sections" to display inside the "Chapters" works until I run out of alphabet (26 variables) for the TC field code - so I am wondering if there is another way to create inside TOC???

Any input will be greatly appreciated...

Bold Numbers in TOC

When I update the TOC, the level 1 and level 2 numbers in the TOC become bold which I don't want. I've spent hours trying to unbold the numbers without messing up the TOC to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help!

Why is Word 365 on the desktop so slow?

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 05:57 PM PST

Word 365 on the desktop is almost unusable because of it's slowness.

Is there a reason for this?

Is there a fix?

I don't have this problem in Word 2007.

Is there a way to have a different amount of space before or after a paragraph depending on the style of the following or preceding paragraph?

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 04:53 PM PST

I am building a template for my thesis, which will be a long document with multi-level numbered headings. I've modified the paragraph settings of my headings and body paragraphs as follows: 1.5 line spacing throughout (required to allow thesis examiners room to scribble...), 6pt spacing before and after all headings, and 12pt spacing after body paragraphs.

I was hoping to increase the space after body paragraphs that are followed by headings, to improve readability by better separating the different sections of the document. Currently, the spacing between a body paragraph and the heading below it is 12pt, as dictated by the space after body paragraphs. Basically, I would like the spacing between my body paragraphs to remain at 12pt, but the spacing between a body paragraph and a heading below it to increase to say 20pt. If I increase the spacing before the headings, it gives me too much white space when there is no body text between two heading levels. If I use the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style option", there is no clear break between my body text paragraphs.

Is there a way to change the amount of space added before or after a paragraph based on what the style of the following or preceding paragraph is? Or any other suggestions on how I could achieve this effect? (The best I've come up with so far is to have a separate style for the last paragraph before headings, but that's awkward with all the revisions.)

Thank you for any suggestions,

Audrey

How to have a blank sheet when I open "Microsoft'sWorks WordProcessor "?

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 01:31 PM PST

Normal.wpt is Works word processor Default Template...

Works can/will create a new default template If it becomes corrupt, simply
go to it's location and delete it, the next time you open Works word
processor a new Normal.wpt will be created.

In your case, because you have created a new template with the name of Blank
Document, you will need to do this to have Works create a new Normal.wpt.

After deleting Normal.wpt, Open Works word processor then....

==>File ==>Save As, in Save As dialog window click Template, in Save As
Template dialog window click Default, then click Reset.

Ken

PS: Normal.wpt is located C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Template for WindowsMe
or C:\Document and Setting\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates for
Windows XP.

You will also notice your Blank Document.wpt is also located there.

I should mention, by default, the Application Data folder is hidden on
Windows XP.

To show hidden files.

Go to Control panel and open Folder Options or open My Documents, choose
Tools on the menu bar, then choose Folder Options on it's menu. Either way
opens the Folder Options dialog window. Choose the View tab then tick "Show
hidden files and folders", click OK.

While there you might also want to uncheck "Hide file extension for known
file types"

Hi Rod,

Thanks for your answer. great idea to combine the different reports. Simple
but I never thought about it! Sure I'm going to play with this now.

I already use some spreadsheets as templates. I just delete the old records
and paste the new report-output in it. That's all. No need to change headers
and foorters or columnwidth.

When using your idea I just have to make one step extra: Paste the
reportoutput in a blank spreadsheet and delete the columns I don't need.
After that I can paste everything in the template-spreadsheet.

Time calculation

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 08:25 AM PST

Time values are stored internally as days. You added 3 days to 10:30.

The time formatted cells will never display more than 23:59:59. If
you go over 2 hours, only the portion over a day will be displayed. So
if you had 10:30 and added 15:00 you will get 1:30. Internally it is
holding one day plus 1:30.

Hi Petus,

I agree with Rod that a database in this case is better than a spreadsheet.
But if you van't split and you are satisfied with Excel than OpenOffice will
be a real possibility. As you said the OpenOffice database is difficult to
learn but the spreadsheet will, like Excel, do the thing. Is cheaper than
buying Microsoft Office.

You can use notepad to open almost any file, however because mswkscal.wcd is

The file needs to be opened with your calendar program.

Where is it located now and which operating system are you using?

I assume that you're using Microsoft Works Task Launcher. If so, try this: 1.
Start with your Desktop, then click Start button, click Works Task Launcher,
click Programs. This should take you to the page that has the Blank Word

You should see the document that you want to get rid of. 2. Click Edit tab
(top left-hand corner of screen), then Select All. (All the text is
highlighted in black.) 3. Press Delete button on keyboard. Text disappears.
4. Click File tab, then Save As. 5. In Save As box, click Save as type box,
then select Works Template from drop-down list. 6. Name in File Name box
should automatically read Untitled Document. If it doesn't, type that in. 7.
Click Template (bottom right-hand corner of Save As box). 8. Save As Template
dialog box appears. 9. In box "Type a name for the template below" type Blank
Word Processor Document. 10. Click box "Use this template for new Word
Processor documents" to make tick appear. 11. Click OK. You may now find
that you have an extra Blank Document icon on Task Launcher Programs page,
but at least your "regular" Blank Word Processor Document icon will work
again. This procedure worked for me yesterday (26 Feb 08). Let me know how
you get on with this. Best of luck.

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 01:47 PM PST

So I downloaded a word document I had previously been working on from my email account, which saved the document to a .zip in my Downloads folder. I opened up the file and continued on the document. During my time writing on the document I pressed Ctrl + S several times. After I finished I closed the document. Then I looked for the document sometime later but failed to find it. It wasn't in my documents folder and where I downloaded it in the .zip folder, the document has not been updated at all. I've searched all the word documents on my computer and tried the Recover Unsaved Documents option but nothing as helped me find it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Microsoft word is condensing documents when I save

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 12:48 PM PST

I have a asus transformer book purchased in December 2013. When I use Microsoft word, a problem is occurring with long documents when I come to save them. An e.g. 8 page document gets squashed into overlapping text on 2-3 pages. I've no idea what is going on but it is preventing me getting any university assignments done so help appreciated urgently, thanks!

Tab stops in styles

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 12:43 PM PST

I set three (.38," 75" and 1.13") tab stops in a paragraph style and apply that style to a paragraph. At the beginning of the paragraph the first two times the tab key is pressed the position changes by .38" as expected. On the third press of the tab key there is a jump of 1". The 3 tab stops show correctly on the ruler. What is causing the problem with the 3rd tab?

Endnotes in Word 2013/2010 refuse to appear at end of section

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 11:58 AM PST

Have a problem with endnotes - any help much appreciated!

I have a large document, containing several chapters. I need endnotes to appear at the end of each section. So, I put a section break (page) between two blocks of text, then converted my footnotes to endnotes, checking the option to have endnotes appear at the end of each section rather than at the end of the document. But the endnotes remain at the end of the document, not at the end of the section.

I've tried setting up new documents in both Word 2013 and Word 2010 and copying and pasting text from my existing chapters into the new document. I select the option to 'paste text only', so the endnotes all disappear. But even when I try to insert an endnote, with all the appropriate options checked, it still appears at the end of the document and not at the end of the section.

I'm completely confused. Some of these endnotes started life as footnotes in Scrivener for Windows. Don't know if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

Apparent problems installing support for macros or controls in Word 2013 -- please help?

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 04:32 PM PST

I recently purchased Office Professional Plus 2013 from the Microsoft Home Use Program and installed it on my Windows 7 home laptop. (I previously had Office Home and Student 2007 installed.)

Now, whenever I try to open most any existing Word doc I have -- or even when I try to open a blank document -- I get the following message:

If I'm trying to open a blank document, the document appears after I click OK once. If I'm trying to open an existing document, I have to click OK at least 3 times before the document opens.

I've read the contents of this window, and have done what it suggests to do in the Trust Center, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried to add the apparently uninstalled features by going to Control Panel>Programs and Features>and trying to Change my installation of Office, yet the only option I'm offered is to Quick Repair or Online Repair my installation -- nowhere am I given the option to add or delete components (and I wasn't allowed this option during my original installation, either).

I'm at a loss at the moment, and going crazy every time I try to open one of my files. If someone can point me to a solution, I will be in your debt.

Oh, but yum is a front-end to rpm, that is, it uses rpm to actually install

cd /var/cache/yum

I might not remember the exact details of the rpm command, use "man rpm",

Opening received Word documents

Posted: 04 Feb 2008 12:23 PM PST

The Works Word Processor should be able to open, print and modify most
DOC files. Some advanced Word features may cause problems with some DOC
files. Simply open the word processor and in the File, Open dialog
select DOC files as the File Type, then navigate to the DOC file to
open.

If you just need to open and print the DOC files, the Word Viewer that
Rich mentioned will do that fine and be able to handle the DOC files
that Works can't. But you won't be able to modify the DOC files with
the Viewer program.

Welcome aboard....

A lot of us who monitor this newsgroup also use OpenOffice. I started with

However, my Works programs still do things for me that neither OpenOffice or
Microsoft Office can do, also it's simplicity is what keeps me using it.

Of course for complex projects I use one of the more powerful programs.

Can't upgrade from Works 9 to Office Pro 2007

After creating recovery disks from my computer, I was able to search them and
find the Works9.msi file. I then had to move that file to my local hard drive
and point the Microsoft update to that file. Once the MS update was installed
then Office Pro 2007 recognized MS Works and I was able to install the Office

Free Embeddable OpenFont licensed font will not embed in Word 2010?

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 03:04 PM PST

I'm trying to format a document to submit to a publishing company, and I have some fonts that need to be embedded in the document for this to be done. I followed the process in Word to embed fonts in this document, but when viewed on my Windows 7 desktop (my laptop is also Windows 7, both have Word 2010) the font shows up as Courier New, or something of that sort. 

The font is called Mate, and it's offered for free by the creator on multiple sites for personal and professional use, and is supposed to be embeddable. I looked in Properties for the file, and it says "Font Embeddability: Installable" which I've looked up and confirmed to mean that it should be installable. The font is a .ttf file, multiple of my other fonts have embedded in the document successfully, but this one does not seem to want to. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm about at my wit's end--I've searched and I can't find another font anywhere that does what I need this font to do for me.

How to eliminate L margin markers

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 01:13 PM PST

Greetings.

These L -shaped margin markers suddenly started showing up on my Word documents, in the print layout view, and I don't know how to eliminate them.

I don't know what these things are actually called, or what function they serve, but they appear in all four corners of the document. In the top right corner, it looks like this: L
In the top left corner, the shape is reversed. At the bottom of the page, the L is upside down.

These objects suddenly appeared after a reboot -- and the system asked me to put my Office disk in the machine. It changed the settings this way, and now I don't know how to get it back to the way it was before.

If anyone knows what these things are or how to get rid of them, please tell me how.

I had a document produced in word 2010 and when I opened it in word 2013 the formatting of the page changed so that the whole page was complete but only say 75% of the page shown in outline.  It is as if there is a page within a page and I cannot get rid of it or return it to its original aspect.  When I print a page it comes out as a full page but only occupies a reduced amount of the A4 page.  When I copy the text and insert it into a new document the page remains the same.  Can anyone tell me how to change or apply settings which will allow the page to be displayed in full as it should be?
