| One user gets "Can't find project or library" Posted: 24 Apr 2014 02:11 PM PDT Hi, I am getting the above error and have read through many of the posts. When I stop the macro and look under "Tools", "References", there are no references with "Missing" beside them. So not sure how to track it down at this point. The macro is an "AutoNew" macro and it stops on the first line of the macro i.e. "Sub AutoNew()" And it seems to (so far) only happen for one user (although it is not a widely used template). Runs fine from my PC and from one other user's I have tried it on. Thanks, Albert Gostick |

| Office 365 Word: adding comment crashes program Posted: 24 Apr 2014 01:18 PM PDT Hi, When ever I try to add a comment to any Word document, whether it's from someone else or a a brand new blank document, the program hangs and I have to restart. Adding to an existing comment from someone else's document seems to be ok. Also the web version of word seems to work ok as well. So it must be Windows 7 specific? I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Office 365 but the problem persists. Any help/ideas would be appreciated. thanks, Mark |
| "Microsoft Word has Stopped working" have followed all suggestions, no resolution Posted: 24 Apr 2014 11:26 AM PDT This is about "Microosoft office Home & Student 2013" which I purchased when I purchased my new Dell computer with Windows 8.1 which, by itself I have had no problems with. MS Office downloaded with no problems, but from the first time I tried to use it have been getting the message " Microsoft Word, (excel, and all other applications from this office) has stopped working. A problem caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then the program just closes down. (First of all no one has notified me that a solution is available) I have been to Microsoft support, this Community, and followed all of their posted suggestions including the links to repair the problem, have uninstalled and re-installed at least six times now and was even given a new product key by the nice salespeople at Office Depot which does not solve the problem - same software same issues. I have Googled the issue and tried all of the suggestions from PC experts found there - still the same message. Microsoft's idea of support is to charge me $39 for a call on something they created, - I should not have to pay to talk to them about a program I paid over $100 for and doesn't work. So far I have spent three days and countless hours of my life, trying to fix this. I really would like to have this program but am going to ask for my money back. If I had known I wouldn't be able to speak to a support person from Microsoft should an issue like this occur, I would not have bought the program. I very rarely take the time to write reviews, but I will be going public on this one. |
| Hyperlinks inserted into hidden text are not underlined. (Word 2010) Posted: 24 Apr 2014 10:55 AM PDT I have a particular paragraph style whose font is blue, italicized, and hidden text. When I insert a hyperlink into a paragraph in this style (using Quick Parts>Field>Hyperlink), the hyperlink text is not underlined on the display. It does, however print with the underline. And apparently, because hidden text has a dotted displayed underline that cannot be removed, I cannot even force an underline onto the hyperlink text. Without an underline to indicate hyperlink placement, users cannot see that that the hyperlink even exists unless they happen to hover over it. This is not acceptable. Is there any way to fix this? |

| VBA MS Word - How do I find a tab that's only at the beginning of a line and replace it with nothing? Posted: 24 Apr 2014 10:28 AM PDT I need to take tabs and remove them if they are at the beginning of a line in MS word. I have to do this...a lot. It looks like a battlefield of tab characters.
Example
I have a script that finds the numbers and makes it pretty. The script just ignores lines when they start with a tab character. I found I'm doing this in many documents that I'm translating to a new format for the company. Any ideas? My guess is that it's simple but I just don't know the VBA vocabulary to do it.
Thanks for your help!

| Can a documents text and images auto resize when changing the paper size? Posted: 24 Apr 2014 09:31 AM PDT I currently have an 8.5 x 11 size document that contains images, text, tables,etc. I am looking to create a smaller size PDF ( 7 x 8.5). Whenever I go in to modify the paper size the document, the paper size changes but none of the objects within the document will get re-sized. I have been looking around everywhere and have not been able to find a solution. Is there a way to have all of the content in your document auto adjust for the new paper size?

| Variable Storing in Add-in Posted: 24 Apr 2014 08:49 AM PDT I have an add-in that needs to persistently store a few variables between Word "sessions". I would much prefer to do this in one totally encapsulated .dotm; meaning storing of the variables within the add-in file itself. As far as I can figure, my options are to either use document properties or document variables. Since properties can easily be stripped, I decided to use document variables. Everything worked just fine as long as I tested with a .docx. However, upon conversion to .dotm and storing in the Word startup folder, I ran into the problem that the .dotm technically does not get opened as a global template and therefore the document variables don't seem to be available via "ActiveDocument.Variables(...)" when executing some add-in code via the AutoExec macro.
So, here are my questions:
(a) Am I on the right track w/ the use of document variables or would you suggest a different solution?
(b) What's the way to read/write from/to the variables in the .dotm.
(c) It seems to me that the document properties would have the same issue if I would have gone that route.
Thanks for your help. |
| Word Document path Issue on a server Posted: 24 Apr 2014 07:27 AM PDT Hi I am running Word 2013 on a Windows 7 computer on a server. When inserting the document file name and path in the footer I have encountered a problem. Instead of the path reading the actual names example \\server\shop\maintenance.docx it reads w\shop\maintenance.docx but the w reference for the drive is only good for my computer other users w is a different drive. My Assistant has no issues in the 2010 version. I have tried searching help but to no avail. Carol |

| Question about using a correctly numbered multilevel list as a Quick Style Posted: 24 Apr 2014 03:39 AM PDT Hi, I write documents that have several headings and several numbered lists under each heading, and I mostly use Quick Style to format my documents. I need each set of numbered lists under each heading to start at 1, USING QUICK STYLES. Below is a graphic example of what I want to achieve: - Text 1
- Text 2
- Text 1
- Text 2
To achieve this, here are the steps I tried: 1. Created a multilevel list using Shauna Kelly's instructions online. 2. Tested this list on various blocks of text under each heading; at this stage, they work fine - I can start a list at 1 under each heading. 3. Added this list as a Quick Style to the Quick Style Gallery. 4. Applied this Quick Style to new blocks of content under each heading. This time the numbering continued from the previous list, which is NOT what I want. What is an exact solution to this problem? |

| Word 2007 - Using Includetext - moving rest of paragraph onto new Line Posted: 24 Apr 2014 02:46 AM PDT Hi all I'm hoping someone can please help me before I pull my hair out completely - Word is driving me crazy :( I have created a letter and I want to include some text from another document - which works great - brings over the information I want, albeit in a different font My main issue is that when I merge the document, it brings through the 'include text' however, it moves the rest of the paragraph onto another line and I don't know how to stop it. I've checked the 'Includetext' document for a paragraph break and there is one right at the end but I've read on various sites that you can't delete these but I have no idea if this is what is causing this to happen. I would be so grateful if anyone can help me with this Many thanks Trish

| Globally change drop down menu text in Word 2010 document Posted: 23 Apr 2014 11:51 PM PDT I have a large table where each line has the same drop down menu with the same choices. I need to change one word but cannot find direction on how to do so. There must be a way, I think, as this must be something that regularly occurs. Otherwise the only option I can think of is to redo the menu and replace all events, but that would mean I would lose record of the choices already selected in each line. I really hope someone can advise.... I have scoured the forums, but can't seem to track down this specific instruction. The Word Help menu leads off onto other tangents. Thanks in advance for assistance |
| Track changes - same user, same computer, still marked on top of each other... Posted: 23 Apr 2014 11:33 PM PDT Hi. When I work on a document and track my changes, and then leave the documents and later open again and continue making changes, if I will go to text changed in the first time and change it again, it will mark the new change on top of the former one. For example, if I added text the first time and now delete it in the second time it will show as deleted text. How can I avoid that? Thanks ! |
| Why is checkbox Automatically update document styles selected by default? Posted: 23 Apr 2014 10:54 PM PDT I'm updating some templates and am struggling with the auto-update setting.

| Word 2013 Not saving files to the correct location Posted: 23 Apr 2014 06:25 PM PDT When I go to save a document, whether it's one I've created from scratch or one that someone sends to me and I either edit or just save as-is, Word is not opening the file location that I select on the Save As page. Basically, here's what happens: Let's say I want to save "File A" in my "Work Files" folder. I go to Save As and Work Files is an option on the Recent Locations section. I double click Work Files and Word opens the current file location, no matter what it is. Additionally, if it is a new document, instead of using the first line of text as the possible document name, Word pulls the name of the most recent document I saved and tries to save it as that instead. I've already mistakenly overwritten 2 important files because of this flaw and I cannot figure out why it's doing it or how to fix it. I have Word 2013 on my work computer and it behaves as it should: opens the selected file location and doesn't use old file names to save new files. I've gone through the Options on both machines and for the life of me, I can't find any difference in selections that would cause these issues. Thanks in advance! (I am using Windows 8 but not in Metro, only desktop, if that matters. My work computer is Windows 7.) |
| How can I remove gray bar and column of dots from my document?

| How search for a math region and switch automatically from one math font to another in all math zones? Posted: 23 Apr 2014 05:23 PM PDT My file has a lot of math zones. I used the default math font, Cambria Math. For various appearance reasons I want to switch to XITS Math (a Times New Roman lookalike). It's installed in my system and is a choice under Equation Tools | Design | Tools | Default font for math regions. The following is still a tedious process after selecting a new default math font. The new font applies right away to new equations, but the previously created math zones retain the old default font. (1) In a math zone select the contents. (2) De-zone the contents with Alt+= but keep them selected. (3) Rezone them with Alt+=. The new math font will be applied to the current math zone. Is there a way to apply it to all the math zones at once (and not to anything else)? One problem is that the ability to search for a math zone seems to be missing. |
