iPad Templates from OSX Word

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 02:52 PM PDT

Hi all,

I have noticed that my templates from Word -- created on a Mac -- are somewhat bizarre when using on an ipad. Footers are appearing in the middle of a document instead of in the footer when you open it on an ipad or send it as an attachment. Anyone experience this or have a work around? 

Headers seem to be fine. Footers, not so much. 

Can't access my citations on Word 2010

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 02:44 PM PDT

I've been working on my thesis and I went to check my citations, but the screen where the citations icon is at is grey.  It won't let me access any of the citations that I had added nor will it let me add new ones.

Why Outline format works in Outlook but not Word

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:44 PM PDT

I have posted this question about Outline formatting in Word and gotten links that pretend to address the issue; but don't. Oh, they provide lots of complicated workarounds but they don't address the issue: why, when you click the Outline icon in Word you enter a world of chaos, where nothing works as it should.

I know how Outline should work because when I am in Outlook, and click the same Outline Icon, I experience exactly what is expected.  The tab key indents; in as well as out, just as expected, the numbering system works just as expected and everything moves smoothly and without a hitch. 

But when I try to do the same thing in Word I end up with a mess of confusing issues; and nothing seems to work as expected!

So why does Outline in MS Outlook work perfectly while Outline in MS Word not work at all; unless you jump through a whole lot of hoops that you learn about from a long article; with an interesting horn players vs director analogy?

Page Deleting

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:29 PM PDT

Dear, Microsoft software writers can you please, give us easy accessibility to your product? Why is there not a delete button or link to be made simple for unwanted pages in and document? One suggestion could be under your page layout tab; click it then scroll to page break, select  or push delete extra pages. 

I am just wondering it has been hard especially when I am in a hurry to create or send a document. Love your products just little concerned with the length of time and steps it takes just delete unwanted pages. SMH! :/

BUG or wanted feature in the citation/references updatin in Word (2013 and before)

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I'm having some trouble with the citation feature in word and this is happening to a lot of other people in many different word versions so I'm starting to think that it's a wanted feature. The image is much more clear than me explaining so here it is:

As you can see I'm not using in the text the citation [9] and word knows it since in the source manager is not marked as used but when I update the reference field the unused references appear at the end even when are not used. When I remove them from the current list in the manager the problem disappears. Is it the way word handle references or is it a bug unsolved since at least word 2007? Because I my view this way of working it's rather unlogical. 

Word 2013 Envelopes and Labels - Freezes

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:06 PM PDT

In Word 2013-Envelopes and Labels- when I try to type a recipient's address, the typing freezes and lags badly- up to 20 or 30 seconds depending on how much I type in at once. I only have the one Word doc open, and very few windows open on the browser. Hardware should be fine- this is the only time something like this happens.

Thanks

Can I turn off the sound that plays whenever I hit "replace all" in Word 2010?

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:03 PM PDT

So, I've already unchecked the "provide feedback with sound" box in the Word Options: Advanced menu. But whenever I click "replace all," my computer still plays the "Windows Exclamation" chime with the notification box that pops up to say how many replacements it made. Is there any way to turn that off?

I assume that it's not a good idea just the make the exclamation sound silent for Windows in general. It's probably important in some circumstances? Or is it?  

Word 2013 Hangs on Find/Replace and Review Pane

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 11:46 AM PDT

After the March Office update was pushed out, Word 2013 hangs when attempting to open the Reviewing Pane, and when doing a Find/Replace (Ctl-H).

It works properly in Safe mode, but when I check for Add-ins, there are no Active add-ins running (i.e., all add-ins are in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" section of File>Options>Add-ins ).

Any suggestions for how to fix or work-around this?

Need a macro to find "present" letters of alphabet and report "missing" letters of the alphabet

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:57 AM PDT

Back when I was using Word 2003, someone was kind enough to write a macro for me that checked a Word document to verify which letters of the alphabet were NOT included in the document. The macro  is below. I need another macro that will report to me the opposite--which letters of the alphabet ARE present rather than which ones are missing. if anyone can help, I would be so very grateful. I have no idea where to begin, but figured this macro could be modified to make the opposite happen.

Also, if there's a way to select text in a larger document so that the macro reviews only selected text, that would be unbelievably helpful in terms of saving me time. Thanks so much in advance for any help.

Sub AtoZ()

'

' AtoZ Macro

' Checks for the presence of all letters of alphabet and reports missing ones.

'

Dim missing As String, i As Integer

missing = ""

For i = 1 To 27

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting

With Selection.Find

    If Not .Execute(FindText:=Chr(64 + i), MatchCase:=False, Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True Then

        missing = missing & Chr(64 + i) & ","

    End If

End With

Next i

If Len(missing) > 1 Then

    missing = "The following letters are not included in the text: " & Left(missing, Len(missing) - 2) & "."

Else

    missing = "All of the letters of the alphabet are included in the text."

End If

MsgBox missing

End Sub

Microsoft Word Equation -- View Unaltered (Raw) Format

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hello:

I've written a couple of complex equations in Microsoft Word 2013.  However, I'd like to see the UNALTERED, or raw, format that Word has used for the AutoCorrect.  Is it possible to see the equations in their raw formats?

EXA:

If in Word, I would see something similar to Area = \pi * r^2

Thank you.

Templates

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:01 AM PDT

Hello, I am creating a template for our engineering team to use. Creating the template is easy enough, but I have a few questions that I hope you can advise me on. After creating a template does all the custom numbered headings, custom styles, custom tables save with that template? Is this the best way to get the consistency for our proposals is by using a template? If this is the best way would I simple post the Template on our server for our engineers to use?

How/where would you save a custom table that could be used for any document? When I save it there are many options that I don't understand, what gallery, category, option etc.

Thank you for your assistance...

Word for iPad Save As PDF

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 08:42 AM PDT

As far as I can tell, there is no way to save a word document (accessed via onedrive) as a PDF from my iPad. I have looked into third party programs to convert onedrive word documents to PDFs, but they mess up our header.

It is important for us to be able to work on word documents on the go, and email out a pdf of the document once complete. When will we be able to save as a PDF?

Thanks, everything else is great so far!

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 03:57 AM PDT

Hi,

Please can you have a look at the Macro below for Word 2010.

Can this be done using Ranges to make it quicker and better?

What it does is it selects the only Table I have in the Document,

Then goes to the last Row, last Column.

Then using Tab to add a new Row at the bottom.

Then it Adds Default Text to the required Columns,

Then as it Adds each Text item it formats it with the following:

Spacing book subtitles to equal a fixed number of lines

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 02:29 AM PDT

I am laying out the inside pages of a book in body text of 11/13 points (which is 13 point line spacing of course) and I therefore want the subheadings to take up exactly 26 points, which is two lines, so that the number of lines on facing pages is always the same.  When I modify the "Heading 3" style, it informs me that the heading has "6 points before and 0 points after," but when I try to adjust those spaces, it will only accept multiples of 6 points. So, I set the line spacing at EXACTLY 22 points, and this does make the heading take up about two lines of space. But the figures do not make sense. Is there any way to adjust the space before and after a title accurately?

Refering to the same endnote more than once

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 01:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I used the cross reference feature to insert a refernce to an existing endnote ( Insert>Reference>Cross-Reference). However, when I click it, it takes me to the first reference within the document and not to the bottom of the document where the actual list of endnotes is. Is there a way to make the click take me to the actual endnote in the list of endnotes?

Thanks a lot,

I.

automatic highlighting without wanting it in WORD 2013

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:31 AM PDT

Hi everyone, please help before I need blood pressure tablets!

In any word document (2013 version), old or new document, the whole text will automatically highlight in a grey colour without us doing anything. It cant be un-highlighted either and will not allow us to work on the document as any attempt to do so results in either freezing of all keys or further randon highlighting or unhighlighting wherever the cursor goes.

Tve looked at all sorts of forums for answers without success. The microsoft troubleshooting pages didn't help.

MANY THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE

Support for custom fonts in Word for iPad

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:15 AM PDT

We use a custom font in our company which is not available on the iPad by default. We have therefore installed it using a configuration profile and can use it now in Apple's Pages app. This is possible since iOS 7 (more information here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW43).

There is also an app on the App Store called "AnyFont" which lets you install new fonts directly from the device, and the installed font shows up perfectly in Apple's Pages but it does not appear in Word for iPad. We desperately need that font for our work, so please add support for custom installed fonts soon! Are there any plans to do so or am I missing something?

Vertical line / vertical dash formatting mark in MS Word; what does it mean? How to get rid of them?

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 09:32 PM PDT

My MS word document is full of sentences that begin with a vertical line formatting mark. I have scoured the internet and cannot figure out what this mark is supposed to mean. I know that a dot is a space, an arrow is a tab, etc., but I have found no mention of this mark. It does disappear/reappear when I hit the formatting marks button, however.

Whatever it is, I believe it is screwing up the formatting for this document when I try to export it to another program, so I need to remove them. Doing so manually would take hours. Can ayone explain what the marks are and how to remove them in mass? Of course I could just paste all the text into notepad and back into Word, but that would remove all my italics as well, and I don't want that. 

Here is an image of the issue. Note that all but the first two lines have the mark; it is the very first thing on most of the lines.

Office 2013 cannot locate safe mode files

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 07:41 PM PDT

We've had issues with add-ons causing our Office 2013 products to crash upon opening.  The solution has always been to start Word or Excel in safe mode and disable the add-ons.

This time I tried to do that and got an error message that says "Sorry we couldn't find your file.  Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted? (C:\Users\Erin\safe.doc)"

I uninstalled the entire program and reinstalled it, and am still getting the same error.  I don't think we moved or deleted any program files recently - what could have happened?  We have had virus problems before and the fact that the error message has a conjunction is throwing me off.  Any advice is appreciated.

Includetext field changing formats

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 07:25 PM PDT

Hi Team,

This may seem the same as other posts, but I feel it is slightly different as I have tried a myriad of things. Including styles, anchoring text boxes etc.

Basically, I am using the Includetext field, but when I update the donor document and refresh the recipient document the heading numbers change.

The donor document has text boxes (which I think I've anchored to the paragraph), different style headings to the recipient document and bullet points.

When I delete a heading, including the text box, in the donor document and refresh the recipient document the the numbering below the deletion changes (in the recipient document).

Second level headings are removed and added. Bullet points are changing to level 3 headings. But it all below the heading and text box I removed.

I have been racking my brains and desperately trying a number of things and finally thought I should ask the experts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Font change for document DD9D29 basic manual template

So now I have a document ie manual with two types of font.

I have tried changing the font but nothing works. 

Any suggestions to resolve this problem??

Dialogue box is open error word 2013

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 03:18 PM PDT

When I open any Microsoft Word document, I get a dialogue box that reads: "Word can't do this because a dialogue box is open. Please close the dialogue box to continue." The problem is that there is only one dialogue box, the one that tells me to close the dialogue box. When I close the box the document loads normally. It isn't so much a problem as it is annoying. If anyone knows how to stop this box from popping up and pausing the loading of documents I would appreciate it.

Cannot save .doc as .docm

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:37 PM PDT

I have a Word document that was created in Word 2003 (or possibly Word 97).  It contains a VBA macro.  If I try to save it as a macro-enabled word document (.docm), I am unable.

After selecting Save As / Word Document, the Save As dialog box opens; I change the type to .docm; select Save, and an error message pops up:

Of course, I cannot save it as .docx since it contains a VBA project:

It seems to work properly as an Excel 97-2003 .doc document, but I'd like to figure out why I cannot save it in the .docm format.

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 11:04 AM PDT

After creating a table and filling a row of cells with information of varied length, I am often left with large empty spaces in cells below some shorter texts. This "wasted" space resists deletion.

My general impression is that Word lets me go to the cell with the most data in it, place cursor at end of it, and press delete.

Nothing I do erases the empty space between the end of the text and the bottom line of the cell.

My dictionary apps no longer work. When I click "Insert" "My Apps" and click on Bing Dictionary it tries to load but I come up with, "App Error" and a button to restart but nothing happens. It used to work fine. I have uninstalled WORD and reinstalled it but that didn't help. I'm online but it just won't load the App.

Delete Hyperlink from Picture if One

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 09:25 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a Macro in Word that Pastes an Image from the Clipboard, then Resizes it.

I would also like it to check if the Picture has a Hyperlink, and if it does then Delete the Hyperlink else just exit Macro.

I have a bit of code that I found Online that removes all Hyperlinks on Pictures {See BOLD}, but I need to change this so it only checks the Picture I have Selected.

Here's my Macro:

Sub InsertCoverPicture()
    'Insert the Cover Picture
    With Selection
        .PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
        .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
        .MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
        With .InlineShapes(1)
            .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
            .Height = CentimetersToPoints(2)
        End With
    End With

    'Remove Hyperlink from Picture
    Dim oStory As Range
    Dim x As Long

    For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
        With oStory
            For x = .Hyperlinks.Count To 1 Step -1
                If .Hyperlinks(x).Type = msoHyperlinkShape Then .Hyperlinks(x).Delete
            Next
        End With
    Next
End Sub

Thank you in advance,

Office for iPad - Word not having access privileges

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Office for iPad - Word (but not Excel and Powerpoint) not having access privileges.

Error message: "Word cannot open the deocument: user does not have access privileges"

This message is completely inconsistent: about half of my Word files, WRITTEN BY MYSELF with Office 365 Home Premium, open without messaging anything.

Those which do NOT open (also written by myself), demand first logging in to Microsoft account EVERY time I try to load them, but EVERY time they show this error message, denying access.

I do not see any dependency with time and the contents of those simple Word files.

I have not seen this error message in any other Word version in any other device. It pops up only in Word for iPad (iOS 7.1).

Please, forum moderators, care to tell me again that you do not have a slightest clue about this?

Word 2007 doesn't load new documents using the normal.dot or normal.dotm template

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 08:21 AM PDT

I've saved changes to both the normal.dot and normal.dotm templates, in the designated file locations for those files within Word.   

But when I open a new document, it doesn't load the normal.dotm template formatting, but some other set of fonts and paragraphing designations.

How do I correct this?

I've used Word for nearly 20 years.  I'm using a new HP computer running Windows 7.   Thank you for your help.

Date field wrong day

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 05:11 AM PDT

Hello.

Well, I have a template file where I created a date field with the structure "Monday, 10 October 2010". The question is that current day's name doesn't match with the actual day.

So, as an example, today, what is shown on this date field is "Monday, 30 March 2014" but it should be "Sunday, 30 March 2014".

What can be wrong? System date is well set.

Thanks for your help!=)

Error checking of language

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 04:23 AM PDT

Hello,

In school, we have to learn a second Norwegian language, which is very similar to the one we use daily. There are however, an extensive list of words which are not allowed. To stop myself from making the same mistakes again, is it possible to somehow check for these words?

The spell checking in Word is quite poor for that particular language, as it is used by quite few people. Is there some way I can manually enter them and contribute to the spell checker? I can of course make a list and search for every individual word, but it is quite time consuming. Is it therefore possible to design a macro or use some other fancy ways of comparing two documents and locating the errors, where one of them contains a list of the taboo words?

All help is appreciated.

Percentage Signs in Charts Backwards (%89, %66, etc...)

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 11:51 PM PDT

Hello everyone,

I have Microsoft Word. Every time I open a document (or create one) all charts I create have the percent sign in the front.

As a work around I create a custom format, putting the % in front, therefore putting in the back on the screen. This is annoying workaround because I edit and review a lot of documents.

Can anyone help? I've never see this problem before and no one else has it.

Office iPad and OneDrive Issues - Missing Folders

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 09:09 PM PDT

After trying out Office Word, Excel and Powerpoint on my iPad it seems to me that OneDrive integration is broken.

The main problem is that various folders do not show up in the Office Apps on the iPad. These missing folders though do show up in the OneDrive app for iPad.

I've also had the Office Apps lock up when trying to refresh a folder. Either the program locks up and I have to restart it or, the refresh icon just spins forever.

To troubleshoot the issue I've removed the Word app, reinstalled and reconnected my OneDrive account. I've done this a couple of times and each time when I try to view one of my folders, the app hangs. After restarting the app the folder I was trying to view has missing subfolders.

If I add a subfolder after I've viewed the folder in Word (for example) the new folder shows up. However, none of the folders that are missing will ever appear, no matter how many times I try to refresh the folder.

Oddly enough the missing folders are different between Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

My "Mac Docs" folder should have 25 folders. Word shows 16 folders, Excel shows 9 and PowerPoint shows all 25. However, PowerPoint also has trouble refreshing the folder, and after I've removed some folders, its still displaying the removed folders.


Office on iPad has great potential for me, especially with OneDrive integration, however, at this stage it appears to be quite buggy.

bug report - opening documents created on a network PC

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 09:00 PM PDT

hello,

I recently created a document at work, on a computer that uses network drives, ie. my documents is \\user\<employee number>\My Documents\

I then sent the document to my home PC and opened it with Office 2013. It freezes on the splash screen, as the program appears to be trying to retrieve something from the (non existant) network drive (i don't have a network drive on my home PC).

If this could be looked into and fixed it would be appreciated.

Networking problem with works 8.5

Most networked IT would be crippled if only one person were allowed to

Or the operating system you're using now, in which many processes need
to read the same file simultaneously in order to run programs.

Spell-checker function tardy and/or selective and/or not functioningat all

Posted: 08 Nov 2008 08:00 PM PST

I suspect that you are exceeding the capacity of the program. And I
doubt there is any thing you could do in the program.

If you do a manual spell check (F7) does that catch the misspelled
words? If so, with long documents you'll have to do that.

Publishing program has too many fonts

Posted: 05 Nov 2008 08:28 AM PST

I'd go for removing Print Master. If you remove a wrong font you can have
all sorts of trouble. HP support "helped me" when my PC was new and make a
long story short, ended doing a reload of operating system. I am using XP
media center edition 2005. Also watch the HP Officejet all in one printers
and how they interface with Works. Nothing but out of memory errors which
requires a work around.

I would never use Print Master on my PC again but I'm sure it's being used
by many people but don't know if those people have Woks installe.

Good luck.
