problems with macro

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 01:27 PM PST

I'm trying to build a macro where I select all chrW(8900) and replace its font with "lucida sans unicode"  when I recorded the macro it didn't record the fact that I wanted the font changed. For example, I tried this and it didn't work

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = ChrW(8900)
        .Replacement.Text = ChrW(8900)
        .Font.Name = "lucida sans unicode"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

macros disappear when user downloads template

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:45 PM PST

Dear Friends:

I am nvolved in a volunteer project where macro-embedded templates are downloaded by users to do a variety of processes across different versions of Word.

A user with Windows 7 and Word 2010 has been regularly downloading and easily installing macro embedded templates for this project including an earlier version of the macro that we are using.  He has been properly converting *.dot macros produced on pre-XML  Word computers into *.dotm and they have been running on his computer with the macros in them.

Last week we found that a template he was using had defects in it because the original author had defects in his normal.dot.   

I rebuilt this macro on my computer, which has Word 2013 running on Windows 8.1.   I emailed him a copy of this macro as an attachment.   However, he has not been able to make it run.

I have done several prolonged team viewer sessions with him trying to find the problem.  I am aware that to launch a downloaded template it is necessary to right-click on the tempklate to install it in word because left clicking on creates a file based on it that does not hold the template.  The test of this is the file name,.  If you open the file and the file has the samne name in word as the file should have you are doing right.    I am also aware of the fact that you must manually check to make sure upon installation Word has stored the template in the proper file.

I have also checked the trust center settings for this user.  They are the proper one "Disable all macros with notification." which should give a warning prompting a user to enable the macros after the file is opened for the first time.

Yet, successively,  I have found that on his own computer this user could not find macros in the template or when opening files based on this template.

We have also tried having him email me back the templates after such failures.  Each time the template has had the macros in them once downloaded to my computer/

Help?  Believe this must be a problem of settings on the user's Word 2010

Starting Office 2013 is slow after installing SP1

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 11:38 AM PST

Hello,

Since I have installed Service Pack 1 earlier today, it now takes a while (like 30 seconds) before Office opens up maximized.

To be specific, I can describe the problem as follows:

When I startup my computer, sign in and double click the Outlook 2013 icon, it appears in my task bar. In stead of displaying the screen "Loading profile" it directly minimizes to my task bar. Hovering on this icon displays an empty Aero Peek screen.

It will take like 30 seconds before I can maximize Outook and start using it.

This issue has clearly been caused by the SP1 update, because earlier today I didn't have any problems at all.

Is someone familiar with this problem and could you provide me a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Joost van der Linden

MS Office Word: Keyboard short to indicate where cursor is

Why won't openning a new document give me user templates?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:10 AM PST

I'm demo'ing 365 and have been using 2010. In 2010, when I create a new document, there's an option at the top to choose user templates. They should be automatic, though that's another topic, but at least I quickly get to them.

when I choose New in Word 2013, I don't see anything to let me get to my templates. Instead, it's a whole bunch of useless templates MS has chosen to vomit at me. I scroll down and it keeps on adding those.

I checked File Locations and it imported from 2010 the correct path for User Templates, so why is 2013 not showing me my user templates?

Cannot open or print multiple documents in Word

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:03 AM PST

I need to be able open or print multiple documents at one time in Word 2010 on a Windows 7 PC. When I right-click on a document in the Open dialog box, the context menu comes up but I get the error "The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open.  Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue."  I previously had this version installed on an XP computer. It had the same problem but I could get around it by selecting "Print" from the Tools menu.  They would then print out of order but they printed.  That option is no longer available in Windows 7. The only option from the tools menu is "Map Network Drive".  I can print from outside Word but doing so is slow and tedious as it opens and closes every document and starts giving me problems if I try to print more than five at a time. 

I know others have had similar problems but none of the solutions I've found have helped.  I don't have Norton (or any antivirus software) installed. (It's a new PC and I'm trying to get everything working before I install antivirus software.) There are no add-ins in startup. I've also tried running as an Administrator, running in safe mode, repairing Word, and when that didn't work uninstalling and reinstalling.  I even consulted with a Microsoft tech, who couldn't help and told me I'd have to pay for premium support (I can't afford it and my boss will never agree to cover it.). 

This is only happening in Word. Excel works fine.

I'm just frustrated enough to consider "downgrading" back to Office 2000.  This is only one of several issues I have with 2010 but it's the most frustrating and time-consuming of the bunch.

Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

Saving tracked changes on an emailed document

Is Office that resource-intensive?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 06:49 AM PST

I am using Office 2007 on a Windows 7 32-bit laptop (Dell Latitude D830, Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM).

When using this laptop for a while with memory-intensive jobs like video editing, it's kinda understandable that it shuts down when it overheats. But with Word 2007? Why is this so?

In comparison, I can have Chrome or Firefox open with a lot of tabs while video or music is playing in the background, and it rarely shuts-down-when-overheating.

Anyway, what can I turn off in Word to make it use less resources?

American to european quotation marks.

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 04:37 AM PST

After finishing a very long paper I realized that in Poland they placed quotation marks differently there. So instead of "He went" they have „He
went". Nhe first quote mark is on the botom. Now is it possible to automatically change the american style quotation mark to european one? Because doing it manually for over 100 pages is not something that I would be looking forward to.

P.S. Tried CTRL+H didn't change anything

Issue while with preview pane and word

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 04:02 AM PST

Hello everybody,

A few users in my company have been having the below issue:

when the preview pane is enabled double clicking on the word file (docx) does not open the document in word unless right clicking>open.

If I turn off preview pane all comes back to normal. This does not happen with all docx files but only a few (fairly complex ones), therefore looks like some setting within those files is not liking preview pane.

Tried the document inspect, re-save the document with no luck, if I save it using .doc extension it works fine.

Any suggestions?

word opened from word addin freezing the dialog which has opened from addin and crashing the parent word document

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:55 AM PST

Hi,

I have a office addins which works seamlessly in excel, powerpoint and outlook except in word. We have a option to create a word documents using the templates in a dialog which is opened from addin. And we have an option to set the cache for our webapplication either to use filestorage or sharepoint storage.

Again the same addin works perfectly with filestorage cache but the same doesn't work with sharepoint storage. the problem is when we create the new documents using the templates it produces the new word document, once it is created and opened, the parent word document and the intermediate dialog window should get close but  instead it hangs both of them. when i try to close it explicitly it says word has stopped working. And am using sharepoint 2010 the same is not working with sharepoint 2013 as well.

I have posted in the forum before but I haven't got the response yet. please help me this is a major and critical issue for us.

PS: irrespective of OS its not working.

Word 2013 spell checker

Context menu very slow to appear (only in office)?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 06:46 PM PST

Hi

I've just installed Office 2013 (64bit), and there is now a large lag (~2s) between right clicking, and the context menu appearing (only in Office applications)

After about a second the shadow appears, then followed by the menu itself. 

This lag is also present to a lesser extent when scrolling.

I'm running Win 8.1 on a Mbpr using bootcamp, all other applications run buttery smooth.

Any ideas?

In Project how do I get a task to start on the weekend.

Posted: 25 Mar 2005 04:17 PM PST

Adding to the other comments, the best way to use MS Project is NOT to try
to input task schedules yourself, whether you're trying to tell it to start
the task on the weekend or some other time. Project's job is not to parrot
back at you the dates you have determined you want tasks to occur. You
don't tell Project when you plan to do the tasks, it's job is to tell YOU
when you should be planning to do them.

A far better way than what I think you're doing is to tell Project
generically when tasks can take place (the calendar found in Tools,
ChangeWorkingTime and setting it to be the Project Calendar), what tasks
need to take place, the expended length of time each will take to complete,
and the relationships expressed through the links. The Start and Finish
fields are *calculated* fields and Project's calculation of them tell you
when they can be scheduled.

Hi Jan,

Sorry, I don't know if MS is planning on fixing the problem they acknowledge
in the KB article. Perhaps in a future SP but as stated in the KB article
the problem is related to an attempt to make MS Project 2002 compatible with

Assigning a resource to a task that has a predecessor changes fini

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 11:21 PM PST

hi Bandu Patil,

Schedule is calculated by counting the amount of active working time between
the scheduled start and end of the task for the assigned resources. It is
when you assign resources that the Duration gets calculated. For example,
Chris is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday. Jamie is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task
on Wednesday and Thursday. Sean is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal"
task on the following Monday and Tuesday. The working span of the "Write
proposal" task, and therefore its duration, is five days (Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday).

The important thing to note is that Schedule is worked out when Resources
are assigned. That is, the active working time of resources contributes to
the schedule.

Regards,

Haris

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 08:09 AM PST

Hi,

I'm glad you solved your problem but I must admit you mention a few things
that I don't get.
I don't have a "Resource View" in Project.
If you mean Resource Usage, it does show finished tasks as well ... unless
you use a filter, and what it shows then depends on the filter.
For instance if you use the "Work Incomplete" filter a finished task will
not show, even when the finishing date lies in the future.
Are you working with a filter of your own making?

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)

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

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?

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.

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?

This is the question: 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?

Word embeded image dates

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 06:30 AM PST

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'

open 'media' folder and note list of images and the date modified.

 

The above also applies to an image 'inserted' into the document.

 

applies to Office 2010 and Office 2013

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

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 06:07 PM PST

I have a TOC: {TOC \H\Z\T "HEADINGS 1,1,HEADINGS 2,2,HEADINGS 3,3"}. My level 1, 2, and 3 headings come out with bold numbers and bold text as I intended. 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.

On all documents it just takes for ever to do anything: Typing, moving the cursor etc.

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"

Database: # of filters & reports

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 11:13 AM PST

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
a data file it will probably not make any sense.

The file needs to be opened with your calendar program.

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

Cannot create new blank document

Posted: 14 Feb 2008 07:19 AM PST

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
Processor Document icon in top left-hand corner. Click Blank ... Document.
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.

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.
