Microsoft Word - Word 2003 Text jumps up and down when typing

Microsoft Word - Word 2003 Text jumps up and down when typing


Word 2003 Text jumps up and down when typing

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 02:05 PM PST

I just had to install Office 2003 because my newer computer crashed. Every time I type on Word the text I am typing suddenly shifts upward and then when I stop typing, the text moves back to where it is supposed to be. A brief pause causes it to drop back down, so everything I type is constantly bouncing up and down. My cursor, however, is not jumping to other parts of the screen, a seemingly similar problem that other people have had. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Wrap and rotate text to edge of graphic?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 01:53 PM PST

I am trying to figure out how to attach text to the edge of a graphic.  I want the text to rotate and follow the outline of the graphic rather than be standard text that just flows around the graphic.  I can get the wrap points but I can't figure out how to make text adhere to them.  Hopefully this question makes sense.

Create a macro to put on toolbar in Word2010 for high and low res pdf from Adobe PDF Maker 11

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 12:02 PM PST

I have Word 2010 and I have Adobe PDF Maker that came with Adobe Acrobat XI.

I already have the PDF Maker on my Word toolbar.

I frequently change between making a high or low res pdf by selecting Acobat Preferences then under Conversion settings drop down I select High resolution print or Smallest file size.

Because I have to change back and forth and it's so many clicks I wondered if I could create a macro that selects the high resolution and save it to my toolbar and one that selects the smallest file size and save it to my toolbar as well.

Header row in a table

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 11:37 AM PST

I have created a table three pages long with 3 columns and 30-some rows, plus a header row.  I want the header row to be repeated on each page.  I have been following this procedure to no avail: Select table; select Table Properties/Row and add a checkmark for Repeat as header row etc.  But my header row does not show up on the pages after page 1.  I tried the same thing but selecting only the header row.  Still no joy.  How is this to be done?

Word 2013 Bullets Formatting Indentation from Left

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 11:05 AM PST

Hi, I have Word 2013 on windows computer. I was going along fine in my document, formatting bullet points. I'm changing the indentation from the left manually so it will line up the way I want it to. Some of my bullet points are lining up correctly, but in between the bullet and the text there's a large (like 2 inch) gap. Within the same document, using the same process to format the bullets, sometimes it works correctly and sometimes it doesn't. HELP!! Thanks in advance.

Copy link to cross-reference?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 09:27 AM PST

Hi,

I write long documents with numbered paragraphs and hundreds of cross-references each.  Finding and pasting in those cross-references is kind of a pain.  

Here's what I would love to be able to do - the question is whether there's any way to do it?

1. I need to insert cross-reference as a paragraph number (e.g., See paragraph xyz above).

2. I split my window in two.  I go to the other window and find the paragraph I want to reference (paragraph xyz in this case).

3. I somehow pick up a link to the paragraph number, e.g. by right-clicking and selecting "copy link" just as I would with a web URL.

4. I go the place where I need to insert the cross-reference and just hit Paste (e.g. ctrl-P).

5. The link to paragraph xyz is pasted in, and it will change if the paragraph numbers change.

Any way to do this?

Many thanks!

How do I get my microsoft office 2010 back ?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 08:56 AM PST

Earlier today, I was working on my PC and it told me that it needed refreshed? 
I did as it told me too, and now it has taken away the apps that I installed like Microsoft office 2010 and my Wacom Tablet.
They are all sitting on my desktop in a folder named "removed applications", is there anyway I could get them back without installing them, downloading them or buying them ? 

Thanks, Jamie.

WORD 2010 Combine new version with original doesn't seem to work?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 08:53 AM PST

Okay, I'm having problems with my computer freezing up and having to shutdown without saving some of my work. So when I pull up my recovered documents, it opens multiple versions for some reason and I can't determine which one is the correct or last version. To be safe when I saved the different versions, I assumed the compare and combine feature would ensure I had the most recent edits included in my original. I was given an option to overwrite, save and rename, which I don't want to do because I don't want the clutter in my file (and when prior versioning worked beautifully for this), and the last option was to compare and combine the unsaved version into the original. I chose the logical third option. It kept cycling me back to compare and combine. After three times of being asked that, I just shut down word and went on to something else. Now when I open the document, which is the original with the compared changes included, there is no evidence of the combined work that I thought happened with this feature. Nor are there any prior versions for me to pull on. Since the new version feature appears to only work for unsaved documents, how do we do the old process of creating a real versioning of drafts in progress without doing save as. There is also no ability to go in and make notations in the versions to let me know what changes were in the drafts. Are you sure people like this better? There's no control over the drafting process!

Please help. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to work with manual drafts and no easy way to notate the different versions. Not even the Word 2010 backup is worth much. It is always in a state of overwriting, what kind of help is that when a feature doesn't work as implied? All those draft changes are now in cyber darkness.

Running Word Count

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 08:50 AM PST

Heya,

For my dissertation I have to include a word count which gives the number of words on each page and a running total. Is there anyway I can make a footer different on each page in order to achieve this? I am already using footnotes, which must be included in my wordcount to, so I cannot use text boxes as I have to give in a digital copy, and this would show the wrong word count. 

Thanks,

Font Color Constantly Reverts to Black

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 08:25 AM PST

I need to know how to change the font color when I'm editing a document. The document is typed in black, and I would like to make additions to the entire document in red and green. When I click on the font color I want, it only applies to the line that I am currently typing. When I move to a different line or paragraph, the color changes back to black. I understand that I can type what I want and go back and highlight it and change the color that way, but that's not very efficient. Why can't I just click on the color I want, type with that color until I'm done, and click on the next color I want to use?

Word 2013 Does Not Save Documents In .RTF Format Correctly After Conversion From Word 2003

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 07:44 AM PST

I attached four documents in .rtf format and one document in .doc format to an email and sent it to myself from my old computer (Windows XP, Word 2003) to my new computer (Windows 8.1, Word 2013).

automatically add date to filename when saving a word document?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 07:35 AM PST

Hi there,

I would very much appreciate if you could help me with this!

I want to be able to manage versions of a word document by making an automatic suffix to the filename when saving the document.

E.g. "Master's thesis_[yyyymmdd].docx" would do great.

I did some searching and it seems that there are several macros available to do the job. However, as this is really a quite simple task, and I feel that macro-documents are quite inconvenient when several people are working with the same document and you have to email it around and so on, I'm wondering is there really no way to do this without macros?

Thanks for help, any tips are well appreciated!

Microsoft Word 2013 Template Development issue...

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 07:14 AM PST

I am creating a Letter Template for my company in MS Word 2013. Using the Background feature, I added a Photo that covers the whole background and it looks exactly the way I want the letter form to look. I then added the Company Name to the Header and company address and phone to the footer section. I saved the letter document as a Template and it was saved to my personal template area. However, when I choose to create a New Document and select the saved Template that I created, only the header and footer are available; the background photo did not get added to the template; the page background is white.

Is there any way for me to save the background into the Template file that I am saving so it can be available to all new documents that I would like to create with this template?

Thank you for your reply, for I am stuck!

Merge output as a formula?

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 05:34 AM PST

I have a Word mail merge template that contains a table with formulae in some cells.

This entry: {= sum (B1,B2,B3) \#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)} places the formula in my output document.

That is what I want (in case the user changes any figures in the output document, so the totals still work).

However, in another cell, I want to include a similar formula inside an IF statement like this: {if {= sum(B1,B2,B3) } > 0 {= sum (B4,B6) \#,##0.00;(#'##0.00)} ""}

The output is then a number, not a formula.

How can I make it output the second example as a formula?

Placing template on the File --> New --> Available Templates page

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 05:16 AM PST

Is there a way to place my custom template on that page so I don't have to click My Templates and then chose it from the "Personal Templates" window that opens?

how to merge chapter (with endnotes) and Figure/Table/Equation numbering

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 04:50 AM PST

I have 3 chapters in a 3 separate word documents and in each document there are endnotes. I would like to merge all in a unique world document BUT with the pertinent endnote at the end of each chapter and not as a unique section at the end of the final document.

Second question:

how to numerate Table/Figures/Equations in each chapter progressively but with the chapter numeration at the start (e.g. I have 6 Figures in Chapter 1.0 and I would have 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5 and 1.0.6)?

Thanks,

VBA Code to Resize Logo in Word Header

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 02:09 AM PST

The following code is an extract ....

For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections

     oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight

     oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=strLogo, LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True

Next oSec

The code works OK, but the logo is too big for the header area.

Are there any parameters that will allow me to resize it whilst retaining the ratio.

Thanks in anticipation

I am trying to find a way to create a custom TOC or list which automatically summarizes, in the executive summary, the consolidated summary points throughout my reports.

Ideally I'd like to be able to apply some colour coding to distinguish or categorize between the types of summary points.

Note the report already has and needs the standard TOC.

figure caption made a space before the number

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:05 PM PST

when I add my caption to my figure i got something like

Fig 1

Fig 2

Fig 3

etc...

But I don't need the space, I want them to be like

Fig1

Fig2

Fig3

The space is added automatically so when I chosed my caption I chose (Fig) no space after the g but it automatically add it.

The second part of my question is: if we solved the space problem can you tell me how to change all the captions that I already have in my documents to delete the space issue.

Thanks

Converting from Word 2010 with TOC to a PDF produces Bookmark Error

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 06:25 PM PST

I am trying to convert a Word document which has a table of contents into a PDF.  On my computer, it works fine.  On my friend's computer, the table of contents page numbers turn into "Error, bookmark not found" (in Word) just before the conversion to PDF is done.

Is there a setting in Word that I need to find to stop this from happening?  I know I can turn the TOC into text with CTRL-SHIFT-F9, but I'd rather not do that if there is another solution (as it obviously works on my computer without doing that).

Thanks for any help you can give.

Windows 8 adds black background to images when style is applied in Word 2010

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 06:02 PM PST

On my Windows 7 machine with Office 2010 installed, styling an image in Word works with no changes to any default configurations.

Installing the same version of Office on my WIndows 8 machine and styling an image produces a black background no matter what style is used.

I write documentation and will have to recommend my customers and client NOT purchase Windows 8 machines unless this bug can be fixed. The document writing community is quite large and this will affect a lot of people.

Thank you for your speedy assistance.

Can't open transferred Word 2007 Docs (Vista) on my new laptop Windows 8.1

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 03:50 PM PST

I recently had to purchase a new laptop with 8.1 preinstalled.  I removed my hard drive from the old computer (Vista) and transferred all the Word, Excel and PDF files and documents from the old hard drive (easy transfer was not an option).  I installed Office Home & Student 2007, and activated it,  on the new laptop and tried to open the transferred documents on the new laptop, none will open.  I am sure it is an easy fix but I have been able to.

All the pictures and music open, just not the documents.

Clickable emails and links in Word 2013

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 01:24 PM PST

Well, I used to have it, and now I don't.

When I put an email address in a word document or in an email, eg, *** Email address is removed for privacy *** it would show up as a clearly identified clickable link. But that was in Word 2010 under Windows 7. Now, with Word/Office 2013 and Windows 8,1, it doesn't work. It gives me this funky "{ hyperlink..." format, which isn't clickable, and which I absolutely don't want.

How do I fix this?

Also, used to be, when I clicked on an email in another email or document, it would open a blank message in Outlook. Which is what I want. Now, it doesn't do that. It pops up a list of options, none of which are obviously "open a new Outlook message to this address". It does give an option to open it in Exchange, but my Outlook is not connected to an Exchange server.

How do I fix this?

Thx,

TCS

You should have turned off the option to expose those now-deleted folders in the Outlook Address Book before you deleted them. Now to fix the problem, you'll need to remove the Outlook Address Book service, restart Outlook and add it back in.

Exchange Archiving Solution

Quest Archive Manager is what I would recommend. See
http://www.quest.com/archivemanager

Symantecs Search/Index engine is end-of-life and that is a major issue in my
opinion as they haven't really announced or figured out how to change that.
It is also expensive and extremely complicated to deploy and manage

EMCs product hasn't seen any major release with new stuff in the last 18
months. They have also changed index/search technology 3 times in those
months while still having severe indexing and search issues.

Unusual OWA request

Posted: 07 Apr 2006 02:46 PM PDT

Write an Outlook rule that forwards the emails you want (if not all of them)
to one of your home accounts (like GMail or something). Only problem with
this is that your work policies might have exception to this.

The other suggestions I see on this thread all have to do with network
configuration, which I assume is out of your hands.

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 Markup

Microsoft Word - MS Word 2013 Markup


MS Word 2013 Markup

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:40 PM PST

Hi Community,

I wanted to know how to stop markup within a document from showing up every time you open it?

I switch it to final view to hide them, but, when I open the document again, it still shows the markup.

Appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Problem with mail merge and embedded excel link in Word - Involves VBA

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 12:05 PM PST

Hi everyone,

This is my first question here, I believe it is a pretty specific question, hopefully someone has encountered a similar issue or just has a better solution!

I've made a VBA sub to select all the InlineShapes(i) in my word document (mainly the embedded excel links) and reset them to 70% aspect ratio scale (see the code at the end of this question).

Now, on my other files, my links were "straight up" meaning, they were simply added to the word document ; looking something like :

{LINK Excel.SheetMacroEnabled.12 "\\\\psf\\Home\\Dropbox\\Rentes collectives 2\\Clients\\5 I-L\\LEPROHON INC\\3 REVUE ANNUELLE\\Année 2013\\Prohon_Test.xlsm" "ApercuR2!Apercu2"}

Which is just a portion of an excel tab. Nothing fancy here....

Now, the problem is that i've now made a new word document, this time using mail merge fonctionnality.... and with different results of the condtional formula

{ IF Mergefield X = "Test result" "result true" "result false

The result if true is an embedded excel link and if false, another mergefield test with another embedded excel link result and so on. 

Now when i run my macro, the macro crashes because the InlineShapes(i) that is part of the conditional that is FALSE (so the unused embedded excel link) cannot be scaled down and therefor, the macro stops to execute rather than skipping it and go to the InlineShapes(i+1) and so on.

WHAT CAN I DO????

Thanks a lot everyone, see the code below perhaps my syntax for InlineShapes can be modified to avoid this error.

Francis


Sub Changement_grandeur_tableaux()

Dim i As Long
Dim lngMainDocInlineShapes As Long 'la valeur max pour le compteur i.e. le nombre de tableau
Dim intScale As Integer 'variable pour l'entrée manuel du taux d'ajustement des tableaux

intScale = InputBox("Veuillez inscrire le % d'ajustement désirer (normalement 70) ; ne pas écrire de %")

lngMainDocInlineShapes = ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count - 1
    'j'enlève 1 puisqu'il y a 5 "shapes" avec le logo GFMD donc je ne veux pas sur les 3 premiers ni le dernier
    'j'ajuste donc mon compteur pour qu'il "start" 5 et finisse à count - 2 (avant dernier logo = bug)

    With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(9)
        RelativeToOriginalSize = False
            LockAspectRatio = True
                .ScaleWidth = intScale
                .ScaleHeight = intScale
    End With

Create Word file from macro/script based on a template

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:15 AM PST


Maybe there is no point to what I want to do or it can not be done the way I imagine it can be done.

Here it goes:
1. I have a template with various formatting, tables, etc.

2. I want to store all of those elements as a function or object.

3. Then create that file entirely from a script.

I think that what I am looking for is routine that tell me all of the objects, etc that exist in that template, then store it as descrition that another script can recreate without having the original template.

Is this possible ? I suppose this could be easily done with Visual Studio, but that's beyond what I know how to work with.

Yes I am still stuck working with Office 2007

Cheers

Why is it taking Microsoft so long to correct the Text Boundaries issue in WORD 2013 when users are clearly unhappy with this feature?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 09:08 AM PST

I also rely on text boundaries. The strange lines I had to put up with in WORD 2013 was too much of a distraction to make this a workable program for word processing so I have reverted back.

This strange presentation of Text Boundaries is clearly problematic for most users. All comments are negative in all forums I've read. No positive comments.

"Arrange All" format

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 08:42 AM PST

I have Word 2013 and use Windows 7.  When I use "Arrange All" to review multiple documents, I get only the stacked arrangement.  This is not convenient for reviewing multiple versions.  Has the Tiled option gone away from previous versions of Word?  Can I get it back?

word stopped displaying files in the selected page layout

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 08:36 AM PST

I have been using Word 2013 downloaded through 365 for several months.  This morning I went into files that were formated to 5.5 by 8.5 and they didn't have a format.  It went to 12 inches wide and didn't tell me what page I was on.  On the bottom row it only shows the number of words on the document.  No page 3 of 458 or anything like that.  I checked on another computer that I downloaded the same program from and it worked fine.  What have I done and what can I do to fix it.  I don't think there is an update feature because that is all done automatically.  Do I need to reload it on my computer?  and if I reload a program on the same computer that was loaded before will it use up another downloaded version of office?

Can't Save my WORD documents

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:14 AM PST

  Recently when saving a WORD document....the program will slow down and give me a WORD (Not Responding) message. When I "x" out of the program...I am given the options to "wait" or "close program"...etc... I close the program and the next time I open WORD...it tells me that I have documents that were not saved correctly and if i would like to open them. I am a little confused that this has started to happen since I haven't made any changes to speak of on my computer other than MICROSOFT updates. I am assuming something there is causing trouble. Up until now, Office 365 has been working great, so any assistance would be appreciated....Thanks.

Using VBA to Compile Several Independent Documents into One- Images and Graphics keep getting messed up

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:06 AM PST

Hi everyone,

   I greatly appreciate any insight anyone might have into this puzzler (but hopefully not a mystery for someone else out there) I have.  I have a document that I am generating through VBA via a list of document names in a macro-enabled document (like a "picklist"), and everything is working excellently except roughly 1/3 of the images and graphics in the independent source documents come into the compiled document resized, or the text boxes have completely changed (same text of course, just formatted completely differently and usually with a bunch of extra lines added surrounding the text), or the constituent shapes resized or moved (even when grouped previously). Yet, 2/3 of the images and graphics come through perfectly, and are/were made in the exact same way, same structure and formatting as the 1/3 that do not.  I think the issue lies in the copy and paste lines of the code (see below) and how these images get passed to the clipboard and then passed to the final document, but I've tried all sorts of variations using "PasteSpecial" and such and it just breaks the rest of the document that previously came in just fine. I have tried:

  • Making sure all of the elements of the images are grouped in the source file - something in the Copy/Paste process in the script ungroups the problematic graphics but the other 2/3 remain grouped after running the script
  • Copying into an intermediate blank document to check the behaviour of the Copy/Paste functions
  • Using "PasteSpecial" to insert as various image types- but because the script uses the entire document for the range, this applies across the whole document and does not work well
  • Copying back into the source document as a PNG image- works well with the script but changes the appearance of the graphic (lighter lines, fainter text, etc.)

 I am trying to avoid having to recreate each and every one of these images and save them as a PNG or some other lossless file type (so as to try to avoid the fainter lines and text in the resulting picture file), but it might be the only option left.

My Compile module:

How Do I Get File Path To Display in Word & Excel 2013?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 06:54 AM PST

I can't find bar showing the path to my files when I use Excel or Word 2013.  In 2007 it

displayed at top, and showed the folder, subfolder, file and drive.  You always knew which version

of the doc you were working on. Now I can't see which drive or folder I am in.  

Only way I can identify folder is to open file, then open save as.  Looking for way to have that display on

same screen as the doc.

Is there a simple way that I can have the file path shown on the screen?  Surprised that 2013 dropped

this feature - seems like a no brainer that everyone would want to easily see the path.  

 I did read one response here  to a similar question, but it was enormously complicated.  Hoping there's

a fix that's more straightforward.  Thanks.

MacroButton field with image acts differently in .docx format than in .doc - selects image rather than field

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:12 AM PST

When a MacroButton Field is inserted in a document using an image or button as the prompt, it makes a difference whether the document is in .doc or .docx format. When it is in .docx format, the image itself is selected by the click, rather than the entire containing field.

This intercepts the mouse click when in .docx format and any macro is not run.

Here is a screenshot in the .docx format with the macrobutton field clicked on:

Here is a screenshot in the .doc format (same document) with the macrobutton field clicked on:

When the document is in .doc format, the field is selected and the macro runs.

Both of these screenshots were from Word 2010. Word 2007 is the same. Is this just something that I have to live with? I have not yet tried it in Word 2013.

In the .docx format a Content Control might work instead but if one is trying to create documents or templates that will work in legacy versions, that is not a solution.

VBA Word Footer Page xx of yy

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 05:06 AM PST

I need to replace all header and footer info in many Word documents.

The new data is entered via a UserForm

My code extract is as follows:

' ------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 

Dim oApp As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim oSec As Word.Section

Dim strTitle As String
Dim strVersion As String
Dim strClassification As String
Dim strPageInfo As String

Dim xx as Long

Dim yy As Long

strTitle = TextBox1
strVersion = TextBox2
strCopyright = TextBox3
strPath = TextBox4
strClassification = ComboBox1

ActiveDocument.Repaginate
yy = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyPages)
MsgBox yy ' For testing

    For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections  ' Delete all existing header and footer content
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""

        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""
    Next oSec
   
    For Each oSec In ActiveDocument.Sections  ' Write new header and footer content
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Name = "Arial"
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Size = "20"
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Color = wdColorDarkBlue
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
        oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = strPath
       
        strPageInfo = "Page xx of " & yy
        ' oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers.Add
       
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Name = "Arial"
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Size = "10"
        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Font.Color = wdColorDarkBlue

        oSec.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Borders.Enable = True
       
    Next oSec

Unload Me
End Sub
' ------------------------------------------------------------

Everything works OK, except for the "Page xx of yy" part. The value of 'yy' is calculated correctly.

How do I calculate and print the 'xx' part?

standard paper sizes missing Office Word 2007 (home & student)

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 04:50 AM PST

I have office Word 2007 (home and student) running on windows 7. I need to use A5 paper size but it is not in the list of available paper sizes. I thought there were supposed to be quite a few paper sizes, but at the moment I can only see Letter and A4 or custom (which has to be set for each new document). with only 2 or 3 paper sizes in my copy of Word, I think there is something wrong. I have reloaded office and done a 'repair', and ensured the printer driver is loaded also. I had this copy on a previous machine, and my engineer assures me that the licensing is all correct, although I was able to get A5 when this copy of Word was on my previous machine.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the proper variety of paper sizes installed?

Track case changes with a macro

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:27 AM PST

Changes made with "change case" are not tracked. Which makes things difficult for an editor who spends a great deal of time reigning in excessive capitalization. So I created a very simple macro:

_______________________________________

Dim oSelect As Range
Set oSelect = Selection.Range

oSelect.Find.ClearFormatting
oSelect.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With oSelect.Find
        .Text = "([A-Z])"
        .Replacement.Text = "\1"
        .Forward = True
        .MatchWildcards = True
    End With
    oSelect.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

 Selection.Range.Case = wdLowerCase____________________________

But right at the last bit of that, we run into trouble, because it changes the case of the deleted letters, as well. The odd thing is that if I comment out the change case part of the macro and then run the macro and manually change the case, all is well. The words are lowercase and the deleted letters remain uppercase. Yet for some odd reason, I can't get that part of the functionality into a macro--I have to do two separate steps: replace the capital letters, then use regular Word ChangeCase functionality.

Also, if I have already made changes before running this case-change, I often see buggy behavior, such as doubling of letters.

Ideas?

Problem with headers when completing a document

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 02:05 AM PST

Hi

i am trying to complete an application form with pre set headings on it. The last part of section A finishes with a table that does not fit on the page. I am able to expand the table but it then goes onto the next page with the header for section B. I have tried inserting blank pages, putting in page breaks. I have also cut and pasted a page with a section A header but this changes all of the headings to section A all through the rest of the document. This is a really important application form for me and I am getting desperate. Please help.

Is it possible to paste a saved file to an email body and have it look exactly as the file?

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 01:24 AM PST

I have a text doc that I use with email.  It is letter with instructions for the viewer to follow.

When trying to insert (as text)  it becomes junk. 

I know i have seen tutorials making it sound and look easy, but it is not working here.

Any sentence which got to the margin without a period, doesn't wrap and just keeps going.

How do I stop that?  It cant be that hard...right?

Might sound like im kidding, but i am not.

Setting margins in outlook doesn't help at all.

Thank you

Font and size keep changing on my Word documents

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 07:54 PM PST

Ever since I Purchased an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 8 64 bit my Word documents fonts are all messed up. The size doesn't stay true to what is set. I can set it at 10 using any of the font styles, usualyy Airel, and it comes up really small or huge. Then I click on the large or small A's at the top and go into set a default but it never stays that way though I have saved it. At one point a technician got on remotely and set it but then when IE started acting up and then everything else became unstable I did a full recovery and lost the settings. I can't get it straightend out. I am so tired of struggling with this crazy system.  I wish I could post on here and get answers but lately I haven't been getting any answers. They used to be pretty good about quick responses on here. I can only think there are so many problems with this system that no one can keep up with addressing the problems!

How to transfer .rtf files from Word 2003 to Word 2013.

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 06:51 PM PST

How can I transfer .rtf documents created by Word 2003 and get Word 2013 to display them in their entirety? I transferred five Word documents created by Windows XP Word 2003 via thumb drive to Windows 8.1 Word 2013. When I opened the documents with Word 2013, only a fraction of the documents displayed. MS Tech Support insisted there was no problem. I insisted that another tech support person help me. He logged on remotely to both of my laptops, transferred the files, and duplicated the problem. He insisted that I must (1) copy all .rtf files, (2) save them as .doc files, (3) transfer them, (4) open them with Word 2013, and finally, (5) save them as .rtf files. Since I have scores of documents I need to transfer from my Windows XP laptop to my Windows 8.1 laptop, this is not an acceptable solution. The tech support case # is 1237478006. Please advise me how to get Word 2013 to accept .rtf files without conversion to the .doc format.

Multilevel list starting from 0 instead of 1

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 05:35 PM PST

I've been using a multilevel list format for typing my uni notes so I can crossreference specific points easily. Anyway I was typing up notes from a particular paper that should have been number 44, but the number being displayed in the file was 43. The start of the list has somehow changed to 0 instead of 1 and now will not change back. In fact if I try and change the numbering value to 1 it puts 0's in to start the other levels whereas currently it's only changed level 1 of the list. I'm not sure what's happened but I had been having trouble adjusting list indents prior to my noticing this change (no matter what values I changed on the indents it shifted everything over to the right). Anyone come across this?

"Image & Text in Textbox" Object: Can there be such a thing?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 03:56 PM PST

I have a logo image that I'd like to add an address.  I'd like to put both, text and image, into a textbox so it's one item/object/thing so I can take it and insert it into another Word document easily, one fell swoop.  Is there a way of encapsulating a textbox like this as an object? 

Currently, its easy to insert the logo.  What I'm looking for is the ability to insert this "object" if you will, as easily as inserting an image.

Is there a way of doing this and if so how?  What would the file type be?  And how would I insert it?  (PS: I could add the text to the image as a .jpg but when the image gets resized the text would not come out as clear.  Also, I'd like more control and the ability to resize the text, the image, change the text color and text size, etc., like you'd be able to do within a textbox with text and an image.)

Thank you,

Dax

mail merge to pdf with windows 7

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 03:48 PM PST

I am using windows 7 operating system and Word 2007.  I maintain quarterly reports for clients that, at the end of each period I was always able to print the batch to a pdf file for archiving and regulatory purposes.  The current Word 7 allows me to save an individual document as a pdf file but I cannot find a similar option in the mail merge print function.  How do I accomplish this type of batch conversion from word to a pdf file?

Eh? What? Is it scsi or isn't it? SATA is serial-ATA, which is not
scsi!

You'll have to make a bit more sense for me there, I'm afraid.

I'm going to work on the supposition that that is IDE, not scsi, and
that the "raid" is some software raid which doesn't exist at the
moment (only one disk anyway). So that is your hde?

Anyway, it'll be hd0, for the little I know of grub's weird
numbering system.

All I can see in the grub info file is:

Note that GRUB does _not_ distinguish IDE from SCSI - it simply counts
the drive numbers from zero, regardless of their type. Normally, any
IDE drive number is less than any SCSI drive number, although that is
not true if you change the boot sequence by swapping IDE and SCSI
drives in your BIOS.

Which seems to me to confirm my impression that they count in bios bot
order.

Why don't you check the info out?

Then you can send a LART for this:

That was easy, admit it. Do read the next chapter, to find out how to
actually install GRUB on your drive.

No - it was incredibly unclear, like all the grub documentation. Rumor
has that it is written originally in dutch by a blind monkey.
 

That is your hdc? I suppose that would be hd1 to grub.
 
 

So that's the way yu have your bios set? Then hde is hd0.
 
 

I don't know what "device.map" is. I've never heard of it. Oh - it's
some grub thing. yes, now THERE you can see what the mapping is! DON'T
CHANGE IT.
 
 

DON'T. Why, in heavens name, why? What's wrong with the mapping you
had? You only have to TELL us about it!

Well, anyway, I suppose this changes things to match the probable
facts. But you will have to tell grub to use that mapping file. Why
bother?
 

This points at grub's boot code area on hdc1. I've forgotten
where you said everything was. This should be pointing at the /boot
partition. Does it?
 

PLEASE DO NOT USE LABELS! Be specifc. Say "root=/dev/hdc2" (or
whatever).
 

And please do not use ramdisks. Why? Oh why. Is your kernel so
crippled?

 

No. You have done nothing to make it so! Install grub on a boot record,
copy that boot record to windows, and point windows boot.ini at the
copy.

Web server and email server in different places with same domain name

no, this is for your dns 

i'd suggest having these DNS Records

tbc.to A 63.247.133.36
www.tbc.to CNAME tbc.to
mail.tbc.to A 209.58.72.83
tbc.to MX mail.tbc.to


this way, mail for @tbc.to goes to 209.58.72.83 (via the MX, mail
exchange record). the website, www.tbc.to and just tbc.to go to
63.247.133.36 (the web server). and for you to check your mail you'll
set your pop3/imap clients to "mail.tbc.to", or if you're using webmail,
then set them to "http://mail.tbc.to/webmail".

hope this helps
 

yeah, leave this kind of stuff out of hosts.. if stuff is supposted to
work on a global scale (web, email) then it should be properly
configured in dns as above. the hosts file is more for local stuff..
like..

192.168.1.110 box1.tbc.to box1
192.168.1.115 box2.tbc.to box2

...just local stuff that can't be setup globally, or that would never
need to be used globally.

First check lsmod:

lsmod | egrep "lp|parport"


Disregard usblp. If you see no output, the driver module is not
loaded. If you have a standard parallel port in the computer, it
should load, or, at least, it does load automatically on my system.

If it's not loaded on your system, start there:

modprobe parport
modprobe lp
modprobe parport_pc

Now check again if the files have appeared in /dev.
If this fixes the problem, you will have to

a) figure out why the modules were not loaded automatically.
This is a bit of an academic exercise, but assuming your
distro has arranged this to happen automatically, it would
ideally be best to find the root cause why it is not happening
rather than just fixing symptoms. Or,

b) Just arrange this to happen on every boot, by adding the
lines above to your /etc/rc.local, and ensuring this file
is run on reboot: check or create the link

ln -s ../rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local

and similar for other runlevels (2,3,4)

If the modules are loaded, or they were not, but are now, but the
nodes are still not there in /dev, there is a problem with udev.

Again, I cannot give a complete accountof how it is supposed to work,
but you could start here:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug

This should output the name of a program that the kernel uses to
notify the user-land programs about the discovery (or disappearance)
of devices that might need nodes in /dev. On my system, the output
is "/sbin/udevsend". This program is run with an argument on the command
line, and a bunch of environment variables. Just an example from my
computer:

/sbin/udevsend usb_device
PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.2
SUBSYSTEM=usb_device
DEVPATH=/class/usb_device/usbdev1.10
MINOR=9
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
ACTION=add
PWD=/
MAJOR=189
SHLVL=1
HOME=/
PHYSDEVDRIVER=usb
PHYSDEVBUS=usb
SEQNUM=552

Reading the manpage for udevsend, I find that eventually these data are
propagated to a program /sbin/udev. Man udev. Most of the actions of udev,
as I understand it, are controlled by the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. The manpages are actually written in
a secret language that resembles English just enough to confuse the
enemy. However, the rules can "match" the information provided with
the "hotplug" event, similar to above, in quite obvious way. Notice the
distinction between "==" and "=" in the rules. "==" are matching conditions,
"=" are assignements to new parameters, done if the conditions are true.

When a rule matches, additional keywords, like MODE or OWNER get their
values from the rule. All rules that match contribute to the result, not just
the first match. In the end, a node is created in /dev, owned by OWNER,
with mode MODE, with major and minor device numbers MAJOR and MINOR (see above)
etc. Sometimes a symbolic link is created also, or instead.

My rules file has a pair of lines:

KERNEL=="lp*", GROUP="lp", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="parport*", GROUP="lp", MODE="0660"
