Word 2007 in Window 8.1

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:25 PM PDT

I have two questions

First - when printing an envelope, the printer prints the envelope then gets more data from the computer and tries to print a second envelope.  I manually stop the printer then power off.

Second - Word places an extra line after each line, like double line space is set on.  I have gone into paragraph and set the line space to 1, but this doesn't fix the problem.  I miss the "clear formatting" that was in Word 2003.

Automatically removing large spaces between words after switching to justify

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Many times i have to deal with documents that have the paragraphs aligned to the left and need to be turned to justify. After doing this, those lines that have a line break at the end are forced to occupy the whole page width from left to right( minus margins), thus creating unusually large spaces between its words, especially if there are like 3 words on that line. now i need a solution to solve this, to make those large spaces regular spaces and to do this in a single command( or a short sequence of commands) for all the document. can it be done?

Saving as PDF is breaking Realtive Links to network locations

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 01:49 PM PDT

Hi,

I write procedure guides, the for security reasons need to be PDFs, but I am having a problem with my links.

Bookmark locations work just fine but I have a Relative link to a network share that when I save as a PDF doesn;t work right. 

Here is the link I am making:
Display text: \\server.domain.local\deployment

Link: file:///\\server.domain.local.deployment

When I Ctrl+Clink from Word, this link opens in Windows Explorer directly to the correct network location, just like I want it to. 

But when I save the doc as a PDF (using the built-in "Save as PDF" function in Word) my link instead opens in my web broswer and the link is changed to

Display text: \\server.contoso.local\deployment

Link file://server.contoso.local/deployment

This of course opens the correct location, but as the Index of \\server.contoso.local in a web browser.  While overall it can be used in this fashion, domain permissions are obviously not going to be respected correctly.  

Anyone have experience with this and a suggested resolution?
I'd like to be able to continue using MS Word for my tech manual writing, but this save as PDF thing is killing me. 

Thanks for helping gang!

Form fields - alternating styles of text

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 12:53 PM PDT

Is it possible to alternate text styles in a SINGLE form field in Microsoft Word 2010? (i.e. first line is normal, second line is bold, third line is normal, fourth is bold, etc. etc.)

What other restricted-editing options are available for this circumstance?

Customize mailing labels

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 12:23 PM PDT

I want to create standard mailing labels using Word 2013.  I have looked at some of the templates but they do not seem to let me insert graphics (clip art if I can find any).  The templates also seem to  be rather rigid in format.  Sometimes I like to do different things.  

Is there some way I can create "free-form" labels in Word 2013?

Is there any  training material available on line to help me?

Thank You.

Can I make offline mode the default?

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:56 AM PDT

I just started using Word for iPad and will be using it mostly in areas with no internet/ cell phone connection. Often for weeks at a time. It looks like I am able to save documents to the iPad without internet, but I have to fight my way through multiple pop-ups telling me I have no connection to do so. Is there a way to turn on an Offline Mode where it will just save the documents to the iPad as the default without warning me multiple times that I have no connection, then upload them when a connection is regained a week later?

Word 2010 and Word 2013 conflict in line breaks

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:32 AM PDT

I just posted this question (but probably different title) -- and now cannot find it posted. So here it is again --and I apologize if this is a duplicate:

I use Word 2010. When I open a document in Word 2013 the line and page breaks differ from the original. As an editor, keeping the lines and pages uniform is important. This has nothing to do with background pagination which is consistently deselected. However, when the sender of the Word 2013 doc converts to Word 97-2003 and I open it as such, the line and page breaks remain ok. Is there a way to open Word 2013 docs in Word 2010 where the line and page breaks remain the same?

 

 

Word only shows latest 20 posts from Sharepoint blog

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:10 AM PDT

I use Word 2010 to manage a Sharepoint Online 2010 blog. I just noticed when I open the blog in Word not all the posts are accessible. It looks like older posts are missing from the dialog that shows the blog's content.

I created a new instance of the blog in Word and it connected but showed the same limited list.

I also tried "launch blog program to post" from Sharepoint but that has never worked and still doesn't.

If it gives any clues, it appears Word only sees the last 20 posts - nothing after that. 

Is there a setting or something I'm missing? This feature is worthless if I can't access all the posts.....

Format Chapter Number in Footer in Word 2007

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 09:31 AM PDT

I have a legal document that uses Outline numbering and Styles to create the various levels.

When I use the Page Number, Format Page Number, Include Chapters feature, the chapter number is appearing as Roman Numerals.  I cannot find a way to change it to a regular number format.  The Heading 1 text, Article One, actually has the number spelled out so I know that it isn't following that style.

Any suggestions????  I've tried to find similar situations on this site and viewed all the suggested readings. 

Word cannot find link to (My)Documents folder

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 09:10 AM PDT

A friend of mine running Windows 7 and Office (probably 2007 but am not sure) cannot get access to her usual documents folder through Word or for attaching to email, although Windows Explorer seems fine.  Unfortunately she has some history of someone else setting things up for her and neither of us knows exactly what they did.  If she keeps her files on a memory stick she can manage for the time being but I want to re-organise & tidy up her C:\ file hierarchy and set shortcuts for her so that she has easy access from any Office/email program.  Does anyone have experience of this problem?  

trying to have a button paste a paragraph

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 09:09 AM PDT

So I am helping make a document more functionable for my work.

In this Word 2010 document I have this section that I will pass on to my customers who are supposed to fill it out. This one section is about a page in length and has radio buttons and drop-down menus in it. The customer is supposed to fill this section out for every product they have (which can range from 1-20 different products). Currently I have been just telling customers that if they have more than one product they just need to use copy and paste.

My task was to find out if there could be a way that I could use a button that could paste the previous page if the customer would need to do so.  So then in essence I would only need to put the page in once and then the customer could just click the button or whatever to add another section they could fill out.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Word 2010 page numbering stops at each new section

Working with a Word document (.docx) that was originally generated from a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro. Approx 90 pages, each page is a new section. When I try to insert page numbers in Word, they only go in to the starting section.

Is there a way to add page numbers that continue through each new section to the end of the file?

How to select the text in a character style, and then clear the style

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:37 AM PDT

My question is this: Is there a better way than what I have set out below to accomplish the objective set out in the title?

I wanted a quick and certain way for users to remove all the formatting applied by certain character styles (including any spaces that might be "invisible" to the user). I thought there should be an easy way to select all the text covered by a given character style that is "active" at the insertion point (IP) - after all, there is a somewhat similar functionality available with a right-click in Word, choosing "Styles" and then choosing "Select Text with Similar Formatting".

Since you can get the name of the style at the IP, it seemed that maybe something like this would work:

    strMyStyle = Selection.Style

    ...

    If Selection.Style = "MyStyle" Then

        Selection.Styles(strMyStyle).Select

        Selection.ClearCharacterStyle

    End If

    ...

However, the "Selection.Styles(strMyStyle).Select" syntax is not valid. In fact, the logic (or lack thereof) in how one can access the methods and properties of styles via Selection seems convoluted. I figured it best to take Jay Freedman's advice on this forum from a couple of years ago: "(Don't ask why -- that way lies madness.)"

So I came up with a solution that is quite flexible -- it is set out below. The user just has to put the IP in or immediately before or after the styled text, then run the macro (keystroke shortcut, right-click or other method). The macro ensures that the whole style is cleared. [I considered using Find, but at least for my purposes that left too much chance of "leftovers" or other problems. There are a couple of small inefficiencies in the macro, but they are insignificant and seem to make the logic a little clearer.]

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Word character styles that end in "Char" or "Char Char" or "Char Char Char", etc

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:14 AM PDT

Hello,

The following helpful tip from Cindy Meister discusses these annoying character styles and how to get rid of them:

Removing "Char" styles from a document

http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MyFavTip.htm#CharStyl

Sadly, I cannot get this code to work in 2013. I experience a COM exception problem when running similar code in VB.Net. I believe the article relates to a much older version of Word, so I wonder if it is still relevant.

Therefore, before spending too much time trying to fix this problem with her approach, I thought I would try the following different approach:

Create a "Char Char" etc style manually. Then delete it manually and see if the related paragraph style remains intact. If it does, my problem is solved, because we can easily write code to iterate through a document and delete all "Char Char" etc styles.

Sadly, however, I cannot figure out how to create a "Char Char" etc style manually. Can anyone walk me through how to do this?

Many thanks.

Keith

P.S. Sorry for not bringing up my actual question until the very last paragraph, but I thought the background context would be helpful to the reader.

What is the maximum password length when saving a document in Word for iPad?

I can open a Word document in Word for iPad with a long password containing all 4 character types, but when I try to save the document this fails with a dialog box stating that the password is too long.

Word gives a 'shadow trace line' on the desktop screen after closing

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 04:43 AM PDT

When ever I close a  'Word 2013' document it does not go off clean from my desk top.

The margins remain there as a shadow with 4 corners.

This is seen only when the Word file is 'resized manually by dragging' - to see some other page also in front of me.

A screen shot of only one of the 4 corners of the shadows is attached.

This is problem is applicable only for Word.

Not for 'Excel' or 'power point' or 'One Note'.

No Physical problems with the computer.

Tried re-Installation of Office, but problem persists.

Word's built-in dialogs all suddenly opening very slowly

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 04:27 AM PDT

For some reason all of Word's built-in dialogs are now opening very slowly -- they take a good 4 seconds or more; but all had opened relatively instantaneously until a few days ago. For example, the Font dialog (whether via CTRL+D or the ribbon group corner arrow), the Macro dialog (ALT+F8, or View> Macros> View Macros), and the Paragraph dialog (ribbon group corner arrow or ALT+O, P), all take an unnervingly long time to appear.

I unloaded all VBA and COM add-ins and the Normal template; no change.

Oddly enough, all of the custom dialogs (userforms) that I've built still launch immediately -- even those that do a lot of work in their Initialize events, such as creating a large array on the fly & loading it into a combo box.

What could be causing this? The identical setup on my very similar second PC behaves just fine. The only major difference is, that's a 64-bit machine and the problem PC is a 32.  The latter has alway been slightly less responsive, but nothing like this.

Excel and PowerPoint don't seem to have the problem, just Word.

Any ideas? TIA.

How add bullets to numbered list without the numbers being deleted?

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 01:14 AM PDT

I have noticed that adding bullets to a list (with numbers that were already there, meaning I added them myself), Word 2013 automatically deletes these numbers.

For example I add bullets to this:


3 Elements

(1) Conduct

(2) Circumstances

(3) Result

This is the end product:

  • 3 Elements
  • Conduct
  • Circumstances
  • Result

Is there some way to add bullets while retaining the (1) (2) (3)? I've searched around but haven't found anything helpful. I know you can do this in OneNote but I'd like to stay in word for this assignment. Thanks very much!

Quick parts building block loads and then disappears

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 11:47 PM PDT

Hi - was wondering if someone can help me please (hopefully i have described the issue clearly)

I have multiple quick part text that is save into multiple categories in MS word 2010

The word template then contains multiple building block gallery content controls which filter the quick parts block that can be used in a particular area of the word template.

For some reason when i assign a particular gallery to one of the controls, the control loads with the choices that it has been assigned, and then disappears a few seconds later when i go to choice one, so i am unable to make the selection (the list refreshes and shows up as a blank list).  It only occurs when i select that particular category for the control, as all the others seem to work fine. 

I have tried recreating the quick parts, tried them as auto-text, tried calling them something else ,locating the control somewhere else in the document and even recreating the whole template again with everything fresh however the same issue occurs with that particular control.  

Am baffled, given all the others work  par the one and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Importing stylesheets in Word 2013

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 06:39 PM PDT

Prior to using 2013, I was able to import style sheets to existing (horribly formatted) documents without issue using the organiser (close, nave to doc with template with styles you want, copy them to the open file etc).

Now when I follow the process, the styles come across and the numbering and indentation remain intact however the font changes and each style needs to be modified/updated individually.

Is this a known problem and is there a workaround or am I totally missing something?

This is killing me and I've burned more than enough time on it!

Thanks in advance.

Trying to restore autosave/autorecovery files

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 05:32 PM PDT

You know how they say there are no stupid questions?

I had a flash drive fail recently. For various reasons, most of which ultimately stem from the fact that I am an idiot, I had a large amount of important work saved to the flash drive (mostly DOC and DOCX; maybe a few RTFs) and nowhere else. I'll spare you the boring details, but the flash drive is dead, and for now I am out that large amount of important work.

The computer in question is running Windows 7 and has Microsoft Office 2010 Starter installed onto what I believe is a hard drive partition (it has the drive letter Q, separate from C, but I'm virtually certain it's not on a separate disk). My only hope at this point is to use an "undelete" program to check for autosaved versions of those files, and I'm wondering where to look. Right now I'm looking in 

C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\UnsavedFiles

and I'm not finding anything too interesting, as I think those are only files that I at one point had open, but never saved to a physical location.

What I'm wondering is whether there are any other folders that might also have at one point contained any files of interest, specifically autosaved versions of files I was working on that were stored on the flash drive; I know I've seen autosaved files that weren't saved to the same directory as the file itself. And I've recovered unsaved Word documents during power outages, etc., so I know they're being saved somewhere. Should I poke around in Q as well, or is that simple application data?

I'd like to do the same process with some Excel files as well (opened in Excel Starter, obviously), but I'm much more concerned about the Word files at this point).

What do you do to improve performance? Our experience has been that MS
CRM is slow (almost unusably slow on occasion) and we have even seen
this with an out of the box microsft setup. e.g. on one of the MS CRM
courses using an unaltered microsft image for the system we have seen
delays of 15 seconds and upwards on updating screen displays, logins etc.

Help!! The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag error

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 02:44 PM PDT

I went to an IT support for my university because my word document file will not reopen giving this error message:

"We're sorry. We can't open <File_Name> because we found a problem with its contents.

The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.

Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column 1256578"

I have uploaded the document to google drive:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxoB04m5O_GRcllWbTd1MXI0WWs/edit?usp=sharing

The tech at my university gave me this information:

"The document.xml file within the Word Document has tags that haven't been closed and/or missing. They document.xml file can be accessed using the following link. The XML structure of the file has to be fixed in order for the file to be recovered. Might want to use Visual Studio or another tool capable of handling large XML files.

If someone can please help me with this I would really appreciate it.

endless error messages 30033-27 and no action; can't start office applications

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 01:24 PM PDT

I can't open an office application. I get a simple "there's an error would you like us to fix it?" message - click yes, it goes away, nothing happens. Try various trouble shooter screens - get error message 30033-27 [and others] . Am asked if I want to use the on line fix service - click yes - it tells me it can't connect even though here I am connected. Have tried switching off and on - no effect. Should I put this lap top in the dishwasher? would half an hour in the tumble drier work?

I think this started when there was a update.

Hi, my name is Lacey.  I have a laptop that uses Windows 8.  I use this computer for my own personal use and have the Microsoft Office 2013 Home and Student Edition on my computer.  When I try to open my word, excel or powerpoint it gives me a box stating that there are problems with the program and will have to close.  I need help please!  What do y'all think the issue is.  I have had the computer for about 6 to 8 months and very rarely even use the programs, but now I have a project and need to, but have run into this issue.

Thank you,

Mail Merge in Word

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 12:50 PM PDT

Hi,

I am trying to mail merge a set of data in my letter which contains mostly numbers, however some of the data has text.  When I mail merge the data, I believe ms word auto assume my data are numbers only, so when it comes to the data with text, it shows "0".  How do I fix that?

Static Row Section in Word

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 12:45 PM PDT

I have a word document with a table, which has 3 rows. Each row has 1 question in it and the rows are evenly spaced on the page so that there is enough space for text writing. If for any reason, there is not enough text space for one of the answer, i would like to have whatever is over the limited space continue on the next page. Normally Word/Excel adjusts the remaining sections of a document by pushing it to the next page so that all text to what you are reading are staying "together". This is not what i want. I want the 1st page (the page w/ all 3 evenly spaced rows and questions) to not adjust. If there is any adjustment, i want it to happen on the next page. Is this possible in word and how can i get it accomplished? 

Does Office 365 support RTL when installed on a Mac?

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 12:39 PM PDT

From what I can tell, 'Office for Mac' has never supported right-to-left languages. Since 'Office 365' seems to function the same whether installed on a PC or a Mac, does this mean that RTL would work on a Mac as it would on a PC?

Word 2013: Compare documents - Word is reversing the order of documents in comparison

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 12:36 PM PDT

When I run a comparison between documents, Word 2013 consistently switches which document it considers the "Original" and the "Revised."  So, for example, paragraphs that should show as deletions are showing up as revisions.  The only way to get a correct blackline is to select the documents backwards to get the comparison to run correctly (i.e., select the revised document in the "Original document" field and the original document in the "Revised document" field).

I've tried creating completely new documents from scratch and comparing to test this, and Word continues to look to the "Revised document" as the original/base document.  

Is there a setting that would remedy this?

Thanks.

Help With Calculating Form Fields - Please help... I am clueless!!! :(

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 11:44 AM PDT

I am sorry to be such a moron but I desperately need help with fields! I have spent two days online trying to figure out the answer but have miserably failed.

I work for a law firm and need help with repeating information that I type into a form.

So say I type in the plaintiff's name, Jane Smith on the top of the document. I want it to automatically copy and fill in in about 10 other spots on the form. I know I have to use field codes but how do I copy it from the top to the rest of the document? Do I use a bookmark?

I used to know how to do this in an old Word version but I can't figure it out in Word 2013.

Can anyone help? I am desperate!!

Why does Word 2010 open Libraries instead of specified folder?

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I don't use the Libraries at all, preferring to have my documents on my D: Drive in a folder named Word.  I have many sub-folders, but most of my documents belong in my DOCS sub-folder, so that is the folder I have specified as my AutoRecover file location and my Default file location in the File\Options\Save page as D:\Word\DOCS\.  And on the File\Options\Advanced\General\File Locations page, under File types:, Documents are located in D:\Word\DOCS.

When I open Word 2010 and click on Open, it opens my DOCS folder.  But subsequently, sometimes the next time I click on open or after a few times, it opens Documents in Libraries.  I have to click on the down arrow at the right of the field and select D:\Word\DOCS to open the correct folder.  This drives me CRAZY! 

I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit H-P system.

What can I do to correct this?

Endnote X7 add-in keeps crashing word 2013

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 10:22 AM PDT

It all started with Microsoft Word 2013 not responding when opening a word document. No matter how much time you gave Word to respond, nothing happened. I managed to get Word to respond by pressing "ctrl-alt-delete" and then cancel. However, when I closed my document I was prompted for normal template changes. I checked if this was the case with any type of word document (even blank ones), and it was.

I downloaded a troubleshooter application from the Microsoft webpages, and tried to see if it could fix my problem. The program disabled all my add-ins, and when I started word after running the program, it was working smoothly. I have later realized that the problem of normal template changes was because of the bluetooth add-in (which I also checked at a later stage by reactivating it). However, my Endnote X7 add-in was removed from the Word ribbon. The Endnote add-in is important to me because I'm currently finishing up my master thesis. I tried to reactivate the add-in manually (in the option menu), but whenever I try to reactivate the add-in (or any add-in for that matter), Word freezes again, and is not responding (then I have to "ctrl-alt-delete" again to make it work). In addition, when I close Word and open it again, the add-in(s) is again gone from my ribbon menu, and it seems to be inactivated again. I have tried adding it as an administrator, but that does not do anything. Even if I could add it, I would still have the freezing problem. I have had Endnote and Word working perfectly fine together for 6 months, so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues. I also tried re-installing both programs on my computer, but the problem remained. I even called Endnote support, but they couldn't help me. I think it might be a Microsoft Word issue (?), because Endnote is actually working with Power Point.

Does anybody have any ideas? Feels like I've tried everything...

Word 2013 docs convert to "read only" if left idle for too long

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 08:36 AM PDT

Anytime I have a Word document open and step away from it for a while it becomes a "read only" document.  This requires me to save the file with a different name and then I need to remember to go back to the folder to delete the old one.

Is there a setting that can stop this from happening?

Thanks!

Adding custom icons to the standard set

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 07:58 AM PDT

I have successfully added custom icons and their associated onAction macros to the Quick Access Toolbar using Greg Maxey's approach.

But I still wonder if it were also possible to add custom icons directly to the standard set of icons provided by Office 2013 - rather than uploading own icons using Custom UI Editor. We could then put macros to the ribbon or the QAT without the need for onAction parameters nor the UIEditor's language.

OLE errors in Word w/ Powerpoint 2007

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 07:54 AM PDT

Greetings.

I've read up on the OLE errors and have yet to find anything relating to the issue I'm experiencing at my client.

Before I begin - specs on the user's machine are:

Dell Optiplex 990

Windows 7 x64 - SP1

8 GB RAM

Office 2007 - SP3

My user is using Powerpoint to make a presentation for her department.  She has multiple tables that were designed using Word.  She does not have an issue opening Word from inside PowerPoint when she doubleclicks on on the linked table to edit said table in Word.

When she goes to save her word document with the newly modified table, she gets the ever so annoying OLE error.  The error she's getting is:  "Word is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."   That's it.  No error codes and I haven't been able to find this event in the PC's event viewer.

Any insight would be great.

Thank you!

word 2013 useless for professional writers

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 07:11 AM PDT

Is it just me or does this ribbon drop down menu thing really slow you down.

I tend to spend so much time trying to find things to sort the document out .

No chance of going back to something like 2003 which was a real tool to aid work as have to use what the companies I work for freelance, supply me with.

Probably great for nerds and other computer freaks but absolutely no good for ease and speed when trying to earn a living.

Hovering over a tracked change leaves the text in a box floating on the screen- Word 2010/Windows 8.1

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 03:20 AM PDT

I have a very irritating problem that happens periodically when I am working on a document using 'track changes'. Hovering over the inserted text or sometimes a comment box will cause a box to pop up in the middle of the screen, containing the text. This box then remains in the middle of the screen, even when viewing other windows and even after closing down Word. The only way to remove it is to shut down the pc. Even as I write this I have to dodge the text that popped up earlier when I was working on the document. Some days, this means I have to repeatedly shut down when working on a document. This is a really bad situation. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Field DATE not working in Word 2007, but works perfectly in Word 2010

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 01:09 AM PDT

Hello,

I created a word document with some Fields DATE in my Word 2010 and it was working perfectly. When my colleague opened it at the time of need, she saw correctly updated dates and printed the document. The printed document however had old (not updated) dates. The dates change to the old actually at the time she opens Print preview. When she reopens the document, the dates are, however, updated again. In Options, the box "Update before printing" wasn't checked, but checking it didn't change anything. I looked through all of the options in Office 2007, but couldn't find reason why it was working properly.

It works great on my Word 2010, so we believe it might be some 2007 vs. 2010 incompatibility. We also work in network environment so that also have an effect.

Any idea where the problem could be?

Thank you.

Word 2007 Envelope Printing - Too far to the right

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 08:54 PM PDT

I have looked at the other posts and they seem to have a different problem than what I have.

Running MSWindows 7 Home, with Office 2007 Pro.

HP Color LaserJet 4700DN

When I go to print an envelope (Standard #10), the return address is not in the upper left corner.  It prints about 1 7/8" from the left edge.  The placement from the top is fine, just too far to the right.  Also the TO address is equally as far off from center. 

I have reset the printer driver, uninstalled and reinstalled.  The settings for the envelope is set to Auto.  When setting the location to the lowest setting above Auto, .25" it still prints way far to the right. 

The printer has only Tray 1 for envelope feed and can only go in the center of the feed tray.  Settings have been verified as to correct print ordination.  (Center feed from tray) 

If the settings are set to .5" the whole set is pushed that far further to the right.

When printing documents, all documents print correctly, to include double sided, gutter modification, margin modification, etc...

Have set envelope setting to something completely wrong, print and got expected results, (bad due to wrong settings) and then reset settings to what they should be and same results of blocks being pushed to the right. 

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

MSWord 2010 is taking up to 15-20 minutes to load a document only when I am logged into the network

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 08:44 PM PDT

There is a number of Word files that when I try to open them while I am connected to the network can take up to 15-30 minutes to load (even when the file is located on my hard drive). When I am NOT connected to the network the files load immediately. I am not seeing any macros used that might cause this.  I am not sure why this is happening.

Any ideas how to properly troubleshoot this issue?



How to get the Language Proofing Tools for Office 2010?

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 07:56 PM PDT

I am using Office 2010 and wish to install the proofing tools for Chinese PRC and Taiwan, and Japanese.

Whatever I downloaded were all useless as in my language preference the proofing tools always show "Not Installed".

May I know what I can do without upgrading my office version?

Thank you very much.

Word 2010 instability when adding review comments

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 07:55 PM PDT

When providing document mark up and adding review comments on a word document, it keeps spontaneously jumping to draft view. How can this be prevented. Draft view is useless as it does not show figures. I want to be able to add review comments to a document in print layout. This is a problem new to word 2010 not previously encountered.

Also when clicking to return to print layout, the cursor goes to the top of the document, this is really annoying in a large document

Suddenly can't open any Microsoft 2013 applications.. Was working a week ago. Am on windows 8 too!

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 05:50 PM PDT

I seem to be unable to open any microsoft apps. Outlook, Excel, Word, Power point etc. I click on the icons and nothing happens. I have done the system updates as one site suggested.  Nothing changed. I have a single load home office, I do not have anything with me as I'm traveling. (so pretty peeved right now!!!!)

What on earth happened to cause this to suddenly stop. I tried running the safe mode for the word etc and nothing comes up at all so no idea what to do next. Getting pretty fed up. Frankly hate the new outlook and now to have it, and other products not working is a really irritation.

I don't know if I have windows 8 or 8.1 I bought the PC new in December 2013. Touch screen.

Pasting image does not replace Selected image in Word 2013

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 03:56 PM PDT

I inserted an image (copied from Paint, but the same problem occurs using any copied image) into a Word 2013 document. Then I decided I wanted to edit that image a bit more. I went back to Paint, made my image edits, copied the image again and went back to the Word document, selected the previous image, and clicked Paste. But, instead of Replacing the old image with the new one, it simply pastes the new image beside the old one.

I fired up my ancient Word 2003 and verified that pasting a new image onto a selected existing image always results in the image being replaced (just like pasted text replaces/overwrites selected text).

How do I make this Pasted image replace the selected image? Do not tell me to use "Change Picture". Using "Change picture" requires far too many steps for such a simple procedure - AND completely does not work when the image is not saved but is an image simply "copied" from the Net or from Paint etc.

Thank you for solving this.

Using IF field code to examine result of a FILLIN Field code

Posted: 26 Mar 2014 03:28 PM PDT

I feel like I'm following the directions to do this, and I can't seem to get the results I want.

I have a number of points in a document where the content is either A or B (and in some cases B or C), but always depending on whether or not it pertains to one product or another. Ignoring the fact that I've now been researching this "time saver" for longer than it would have taken to just make the edits manually...there's a principle involved.

First, at the top of the page, I made a FILL-IN field prompt. That works fine: box pops up, fill in one of two responses.

Now, based on the result of that, I want to set all the other four or five places in the document where the text will be either THIS or THAT based to look at that field result and behave accordingly.

The first such IF instruction is:

IF { FILLIN "Indicate product: Small or Mid" } = "Small" "small-" "mid-"

Depending on if I monkey with spacing, which I gather is critically important, I get results of either: FILLIN or of Indicate product: Small or Mid

This suggests to me that it's just reading the line of instructions/properties and not actually going to look at the FILLIN field at all.

Help!!

I am not able to insert a continuous section break within a table in Word 2013 without it creating a gap/space before and after the break.  I don't have that problem in Word 2007.  Has anyone dealt with this issue?

I am creating fill-in forms that will be protected in some rows (sections) that have form fields, but not protecting others in hopes of being able to use a pen to allow signatures using Ink Tools in the unprotected sections to be taken on a Surface Pro tablet running Windows 8.1 and using Office 365.  Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
