Microsoft Word - Default Program for MS Word

Microsoft Word - Default Program for MS Word

Default Program for MS Word

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 02:43 PM PDT

How do I make MS Word 2010 a default instead of MS 2013 that came with a free trial on my new laptop.  The subscription has run out. I already have my purchased 2010 installed.  When I open a word document, it defaults to 2013 and since the subscription as expired the document can not be used, even though I have 2010 installed.  I have tried "open with" but 2010 is not listed only 2014.  I have also tried "change" under properties, but again 2010 is not an option.

Getting unwanted page borders in MSWord

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I'm using MSOffice 2013-MS word.

I created custom margins (top .5, Right .5, bottom .5, left 1) and used Times New Roman-16 Bold on an 8 1/2 X 11 page.  I'm getting an unwanted border around the text. I can create a custom border  that sits inside the unwanted border.  I cannot get rid of this unwanted border.  Help would be appreciated.  I tried to upload a copy of the docx file, but got "invalid file name" error.

Bottom line of picture border does not always show up.

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 01:20 PM PDT

How do I format a picture so that the solid line outlining it will always show up on the bottom.   Some pictures are ok, but on others only the top and side lines are there.  I've tried resizing the pictures, which sometimes resolves the problem.  I've also tried copying and pasting the picture, which also works sometimes.  Not knowing what is causing this leaves nothing but a hit and miss solution.  The picture Caption seems to make no difference at all.

CTRL+ALT+Enter function in Word 2010

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 12:43 PM PDT

Hello,

The CTRL+ALT+Enter function in word creates a pilcrow with a dotted box around it.

What is the purpose of this? I use it all the time after equations to ensure when I am referencing equation numbers throughout my document that it only returns the number and not the whole equation.

Thanks.

Default Page Color

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 12:16 PM PDT

I usually go to Design -> Page Color and then select a different background color. Is there a way to set this to default, so I won't have to change it everytime I open a new document? If it can be done through editing the Normal.dotm can someone guide me through how to change it? I've tried to do it before with the answers from other posts, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'm using Word 2013

Editing cross-references in the endnotes

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 11:45 AM PDT

The Chicago Manual of Style, which I am using, requires that references to maps, figures, etc. in the main text be lower case. The insert Caption process and a cross-reference thereto result in a capital letter, e,g., see Map 3-2. By right clicking on the cross reference and choosing "lower case" this changes to "see map 3-2" and that remains after updating fields. Great!!

The problem I have run into is that this does not work in the endnote. The ctrl+click works, but the right click to edit to lower case does not--there is no option for "edit" on right clicking. Manually editing the field by adding "*_Lower" and updating results in the lower case. While the filed is still shaded, the ctrl-click does not work.

Is there a solution?

How to see top/bottom margins in Print Layout view?

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 11:02 AM PDT

How can I see the top and bottom margins in Print Layout view and Whole Page zoom level?

I see them on one computer, but not on another (both Word 2003 SP3).  So I believe I unwittingly set a mode or option.

With Portrait orientation, I see left and right margins.  But not top and bottom margins.

The ruler shows an area of only 9 inches, yet the Paper height is 11 inches.  So I "know" the top and bottom margins will be 1 inch each, as I entered in Page Setup.

It just bothers me that I cannot see those margins on the display.

Any ideas?  Need more information (what)?

changing captions and crossrefrences according to the chapter number

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 10:42 AM PDT

I wrote a document with 3 chapters (chapter1,2 and 3), in each chapter I made a caption to the figures such that figures in chapter 1 are: Fig 1.1, Fig 1.2 etc. but in chapter 2 they are Fig 2.1, Fig2.2 etc.

I decided to transfer some sections from chapter 2 to chapter3. The problem is when I copy and paste those sections they will keep their captions and even inside the text were I crossrefrence them.

Ex:

Chapter 3

As we can see in Fig 2.2

Fig2.2: the figure caption

I have a huge amont of figures and crossrefrences and I want a way to copy them from chapter 2 and put them in chapter 3 but at the same time I want to change their captions and the text crossrefrences to be consistant with the new chapter number.

Any Ideas?

Customized themes (Color and Font) not saving correctly

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 09:25 AM PDT

When I save a customized color, it does not save the correct colors? This is also happening in the customized Font also, the new Heading saves correctly but the body does not?

How can I use the standard font "System" shipped with all operating systems since the dawn of time?

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 09:08 AM PDT

As per subject line.

I am using MS Word 2007 and would like to use the "System" font to highlight code in an assignment. I have been hindered by the fact the drop down list does not contain this font and I have verified that the font is installed and usable (opened notepad and selected the font no problem).

After trawling the net, I finally decided to sign up to this forum to get the answer.

The font is called "vgasys.fon" when looking at the fonts file details so that anyone trying to help knows what I am talking about.

Thanks for any help, I am quite adept at modifying things such as registry entries, moving and copying files to odd places and so on so if someone has a method, I will see what I can do to implement it. If you can provide full instructions, that would also be useful.

Opening word problem

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 08:17 AM PDT

I have had my laptop for around a year, and it has been running fine. But over the last few days I have not been able to open word without a message coming up which is headed 'user account controls' and it asks if I want to make changes to the program. If I press yes or no another notification comes up which reads 'we're  sorry, but word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to close as a result. Would you like to repair the program now?'. It then gives three options, repair now, help and close. I've tried them all but nothing happens. I've looking on the internet for a solution but cannot find the relevant information. Can anyone help? Also it only happens on word, not on any other Microsoft programs such as excel.

Problem with Building Blocks and Custom Cover Pages

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 07:00 AM PDT

I am trying to get a template to work as requested, with little luck.  Template was created with 5 custom covers, to be used for various purposes.  The group within our company also designed some custom table formatting.  I added the tables to Quick Parts, two rows for each, one had two columns and one had four. columns.  Then upon examining the list of covers in the Covers button on the Insert tab, I found all but one of the custom covers had vanished.  This was before exiting word.  And I save the changes to the template after each step.

I am at a loss to explain this behavior.  Can anyone offer a suggestions?

Can't translate Japanese words to English

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 05:11 AM PDT

The translation button in Microsoft Word (Office 2010) for translating words to different languages has stopped working properly. I have used it for years when translating from Japanese to English, but but suddenly it stopped working. It does work if I select any other language to translate Japanese into, e.g. Hindi, Chinese, German, etc, but not English. I get the message "no results were found." As I said, it still works for translating Japanese into every language except English. 

It also does not work going from English to Japanese, although again it works for English to most other languages. 

What to do?

Microsoft guilty of bad spelling practice - such as suggesting you're instead of your

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 04:12 AM PDT

I come across this quite regularly in newspaper articles, fan fiction and other documents, where you're is used instead of your, and it is very annoying.

This is likely, mainly Microsoft's fault, as the Word Spell Checker highlights the use of your as incorrect and suggests you're.

It would be extremely naive if Microsoft was to say that it is the responsibility of the user to make sure any change they make is correct, as many users will be using the Word Spell Checker precisely because they are not confident of their own spelling ability.

There are many faults with the Spell Checker, with the latest version of Office 2013 taking a giant leap backwards in terms of usability and efficiency. This forum details the problems of the Spell Checker in other discussions, so I won't repeat them here.

Suffice it to say that Micorosft has a responsibility to get the Spell Checker right. It is not only used by our children at school while they are still learning, but also by people from other countries who do not have English as their first language.

I look forward to a spirited debate on this issue.

I want to only specify the path of a particular directory containing these documents and want a macro should run and  sort the commented files with non-commented one and create a log after the completion of the batch.

And the macro should have the Exception handling also,as if  there would be any eroneous files that will not allow a macro to identify the comments or could not open that file ,those file name/or if possible those files should come under "Eroneous Folder" or should create a log for those eroneous files .

Kindly help me with  this issue.

Can't load JPG in userform control on some PCs without initial hocus-pocus

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:30 PM PDT

What would cause lines like these in an ordinary userform:

Me.myLabel.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\path\xyz.jpg")

   -or- 

Me.myImageControl.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\path\xyz.jpg")

....to work fine on some PCs, but on others supposedly identically configured, initially throw the bizarre error below:

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

Automation error

Unspecified error

I say 'initially' here because I've made the following very scary additional observations:

 - The same code works fine in Excel on all of our machines

 - The same code begins working, permanently, in Word, on all of our machines *if* I:

      (a) change it to open GIFs instead of JPGs

      (b) run it once with that change, and then

      (c) change it back to open JPGs.

Evidently I could avoid this situation by "pre-soaking" each PC using GIFs, but that's hardly practical.  Is there an explanation and/or a way to avoid that error?

Any clues greatly appreciated.

DUPLEX PRINTING PROBLEM

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:14 PM PDT

Printing on a HP Deskjet 3520 e-all-in-one printer on Win7 running Office 2010.

If I have it print a Word multipage document in duplex, it prints the first page alone on a single sheet of paper and ejects it, then prints pages 2&3 as a duplex and ejects, prints 4&5 as duplex, and so on.  Yet, if I select just pages 1&2 to print, it prints them in duplex just fine on one sheet and ejects. If I then select to print just pages 3&4 in duplex, it does these fine, and so on.

Yet, if I have it print ten pages in duplex, it prints page one alone and ejects, then does duplex on all the remaining pages.

Why Does Word Opens in Security Warning Mode With Super Trusted Files

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 06:56 PM PDT

I use MS WIN 7

Whenever I reboot my MS Word for Office 2010, and Open a Word file, it opens in the "Security Warning , with Application Add-Ins have been disabled" Mode.  This occurs even for Super Trusted Files.  I must hit the 'Enable Content' button on the message Bar to use the file normally but something is wrong to make it do this. 

This trouble began when I fixed another long standing problem with MS Word. This was that my Word was running slow and sluggish. This would manifest when I typed a character that would appear a split second later. Or I would select text to copy and paste and the selection was a split second behind my moves, or when I saved files it would browse to the save to location very slowly. This slow and sluggish behavior would stop when I rebooted, but it would reappear in an hour or 2.  

I fixed this problem by: (1)  deleting all my Word temp files by typing "%temp% in the 'RUN" dialog and (2)delete my Normal Template which was corrupt. And BOOM,! no sluggishness. A

BUT NOW, I have this Security Warning Mode" problem. Both these are more annoyances than a major problem but they are very annoying. Please help!

Customized app with CRM for POCKET PC???

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 11:39 AM PST

It is highly unlikely that the CRM dlls will work on a pocketpc platform.
Remember that the pocketpc .net environment is called the compact framework
meaning a lot of the functionality of the full blown .net framework is
missing.

Your best option in my opinion would to write a service that sits on the CRM
web server. This service will act as the layer between requests from the
pocketpc device and crm. For example that pocket pc could issue a web
service call to your new web service that says give me an xml file
containing all crm contacts i have access to

the web service then calls into the crm platform layer using the crm sdk
then returns the data back to the pocket pc which can then process and
display the data.

CRM SF Outlook: Succesful Install, cannot access though

First...review your install documentation to verify you have everything
properly configured.

If... you have a properly installed and configured CRM server, Exchange
server, CRM email router, Outlook and Sales for Outlook client...

Then...open Outlook, find the Microsoft CRM folder in the left-pane folder
tree, click on it or expand it and click on a subfolder. Also, you could
click on the Shortcuts button (looks like a white box with a black arrow in
it) in the bottom left part of Outlook and click on a CRM shortcut.

There is one event (OnChange) that can be configured using JScript for

What is the proper way to handle internally generated support cases?

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 01:40 PM PST

Bill,

I agree with many of your points, but I also disagree about a few. In many
ways, some of the things the CMR team has done with integration (like the
Information Bridge Framework hook) are cutting edge. The overall SFO
integration (even with it's issues) is way beyond what can be done with a lot of
other products.

But, being brutally honest, they did drop the ball in a few areas like you
mentioned (and a few more I might add). I think a big part of the problem is
the overall size of the MS Org. I know people who work in a 30 person company
that don't know what a co-worker is working on. Now magnify that by a few
thousand and the propensity for dates to slip. From what I've heard, they are
making strides to get more integrated with the other product teams, but it is
not a straight forward effort.

They still need to make delivery dates and they often need to be pragmatic in
how they set those dates and feature sets. We may not agree with those
decisions in hind-sight, but when they were made, there is a good chance that we
might have made the same choice.

Jason,

Thanks for your input. I am at least glad that I was not overlooking some
simple way of doing this.

You comment about the product not being designed to handle this situation
seems to reflect a lot of what is currently in the package. I could not
believe that the original release would not run if .NET 1.1 was added to the
system even though 1.0 and 1.1 were suppose to run side by side, and then it
took almost a year before they could run on Windows 2003. It seems like the
CRM team is completely unaware of what is going on around them at Microsoft
and are fairly primitive in terms of modernization like integration with
Office and other productivity tools. Email originated in the package is
limited to simple text sort of like the messages you could send 40 years ago
using a ASR33 teletype machine.

One more note about field sizes .... it's SQL that controls that. And, if
you will be using Sales For Outlook Offline (and so synchronizing MSCRM data)
SQL Merge Replication is used. This has a direct effect on your limits.
Synch will not work if any field that is part of SFO (doesn't apply to cases
but does to contacts and accounts) and the size is >6000 bytes (vs. 8000
bytes without using merge replication); also there is a column limit of 246
(vs 1024 without using merge replication).

Thanks,

But thios functionality is in even the most basic CRM tools, and has been in
products such as ACT and Superoffice for at least 10 years, this is a major
stumbling block, hence the appeal to see if anyone had come across a similar

Any development advice or even third party product advice would be welcome

closed Opportunity. In this case, the workflow is firing (or should be firing)
after the Opportunity has been changed to "Won". As a result, you can't add an
email activity to the Opportunity.

I would have expected something to show in Workflow Manager though to indicate
that the rule at least tried to run.

I have checked the Workflow Monitor- no it's not firing. I didn't see any
errors in the event log- is there anything specific I should be looking
for?Any other ideas?

Creating a paragraph style that adds a bullet when you indent

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 03:19 PM PDT

Is it possible in Word 2013 to create a paragraph style that has the following attributes?

  •   It has no bullets, chevrons, etc.
  •   When you Alt+Shift+Right arrow, it switches to have a bullet at the left margin.
  •   When you Alt+Shift+Right arrow again, it switches to have a bullet one indentation level in.

Thanks in advance.

email merge in word 2010

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 02:55 PM PDT

When I try to send an email to a list of email addresses from an excel file Windows Live Mail (WML) only sends it to addresses that are in my contacts list.  The other addresses get a pop-up window labelled Name Check and reporting that that particular address has not been found.  How do I turn off this check?  It appears to be a problem in the Word-WML interface as WML itself has no problems sending to addresses not in my contacts list.

Checkbox Disappears

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 01:56 PM PDT

My form was perfectly fine. I have payment option field where a person can checkmark a box by double clicking the box and selecting checked. Normally, once some one does this an X fills the box and you can go on your merry way. 

Problem now is that, once you select Checked, the entire box disappears.

Change Language

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 01:26 PM PDT

I purchased an Asus laptop with Win8 in English and upgraded to Win8.1 I then loaded the Student and Home Office  Don't know why it wasn't ready loaded.

When I opened instead of English it is either in Danish/Swedish or Norwegian (I think) Found a way to change language but when I tried a panel came up with 3 options in the loaded language which was of little use to me.  Am now quietly tearing my hair out  thinking Win8 was a very bad idea. One of many problems with Win8. Any better ideas??

Should I convert my .doc files to .docx files?

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 01:12 PM PDT

It's just occurred to me that at some point my .doc files may become more difficult to access as they get older in relation to newer file formats.

(I just ran into that when I had to edit the registry to be able to open them anymore). 

I'm guessing that converters may be less available in future Office versions and among 3rd party suppliers as time goes on. 

I just did a search and discovered that I have over 3000 .doc files on my Windows 7 PC.  Most are of the latest generation (Word 97/98 and later), but some go back further.

Do you recommend that it would be wiser to convert all the files to .docx now rather than leave the documents as .doc documents?

And if yes, are there any risks in doing a batch conversion? Are there characteristics of .doc files that might lose anything important when they're converted? 

And third, what would be the most efficient way to convert those thousands of files that are scattered across many directories?

Thank you for your help!

Help - Having trouble trying to close a document!!

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 12:44 PM PDT

Please help. We just got a new computer (Windows 8.1) and installed MS Office Home and Student. Right from the beginning we had problems in trying to open Word and Excel. In order to correct this we went on line and found a solution which involved unchecking add-ins under the file, Manage add-ins tab. We unchecked one add-in under each pgm and this seemed to help (although we don't know what we were undoing). I have since typed one test document in word and although it opened and closed it a couple of times the first day, it will no longer close. The document shows an error code that says "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error." Hmmm...What does this mean???? Anyone got any ideas??? Please Help!!!

Opening of Word

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 11:43 AM PDT

I recently installed Microsoft Office 2013 and all is going well except.......................

When I click on Word and bring up the Word Template, the cursor is stuck

at the beginning.  When I begin typing it sounds the warning bell and

doesn't begin typing.  If I right click and hit the Paste Option, it seems to

open up the document to allow typing to begin.   As a matter of fact any

function I click on after I right click seems to free up the locked cursor.

Is there a command that I need to disable to allow me to begin typing immediately like word

is suppose to function.

All the other Office apps of PP, Excel, etc. work normally.

Thank you in advance...Lynn

Word 2010 will not connect to my printer

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 11:34 AM PDT

I recently installed Office 2010 under Windows 7. Excel and Powerpoint print properly on my Epson XP-600 printer. So do my non-Office programs. But Word says it's unable to connect to the printer. I've read on other forums that I should set "Run as administrator" on the Advanced Properties of the Word shortcut, but that option is grayed out. My account type is "administrator, and Win7's UAC is set at its default, "Notify me only when programs try to make changes." I tried lowering the UAC protection level but that didn't make "Run as administrator" accessible.

My workaround is to print from Word to a PDF file and use a PDF reader to send the document to the printer. That works, but it's pretty clunky. What suggestions do you have for getting Word to recognize the printer? I can reinstall Office 2010 or the printer if necessary, but I'd rather find a solution that doesn't require that if I can.

Thanks --

Embedded Fonts not installing

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 11:18 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a TrueType font that has been embedded into a .docx and it will display properly on a system that is missing that font but the font itself does not install on the system it was opened on. The issue with that is that when the document is saved locally the font is lost. It is my understanding that if a font has a Font embeddability of Installable that it should install once opened locally but this does not appear to be the case. Can anyone spread some light on this and let me know how to accomplish this? I have tried in office 2013 and 2010.

Thanks!

How to save quick parts as part of template?

word 2013 - multilevel lists with headings not creating next item as part of list - unexpected behavior

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 10:10 AM PDT

I've defined a new multilevel list style and the first three levels are assigned to headings.  It looks correct to me in the "define new multilevel list" box (see screenshot at end), and I've used "Update Heading X to match selection" to have the headings have the formatting I want. 

Are there other paragraph settings or ??? that I need to change?  I have work-arounds (and found some more as writing this post), but would like to know if the standard way of pressing enter having typing a line of a list and having it set up the formatting for the next item at that same level (which you can then tab in or out) can work.

work-arounds: 

  • Type at end of the previous item and then press insert cursor at beginning of what you just added and press enter.
  • copy from previous section and paste then replace text. 
  • Use format painter to adjust newly written text.
  • Press return at the beginning of an item already in the list (instead of at the end) and thus insert a list item prior to what is already there (reordering later as necessary).

I just came up with the first of those work-arounds (type at end of previous and then insert cursor earlier and press enter) as I was typing this up, and that way is definitely do-able.  This suggests though that it knows what level (and heading) comes next.

Is there something I need to change to get the behavior I'm expecting?

Thanks for your help.

I'm on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

Rename default style name while creating a template

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 07:28 AM PDT

Hi

I am creating a template in Word 2007.

I am creating custom styles for my requirement and these style names should adhere to a certain naming convention. For example, a first level list bullet style should be "LB1-List Bullet1".

While I know how to create a new style with that name, I don't want to do that because two similar looking styles (default one and the one which I create) might confuse the users who use this template. So, I decided to modify the existing, default List Bullet style as per my requirement and name it as "LB1-ListBullet1". However, when I do that, the name appears as ListBullet,LB1-ListBullet1 in the styles list, which is again not so friendly to say the least.

Is there a way I can remove the default name from the default style and just have the name I provide?

Please advise. Appreciate your help.

Word 2013 displaybarcode field sometimes generates error in earlier versions of Word rather than blank.

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 07:21 AM PDT

Word 2013 introduced two new fields: DisplayBarCode and MergeBarCode with little documentation. I've tried to implement the DisplayBarCode field in my Bar Code Add-In and discovered that when the field is used in earlier versions in many cases it simply displays as blank. Nothing shows on the screen (which is what I would like).

However, in many cases, it throws an "Error. Bookmark not defined." in bold.

I've tried to get around this using a containing IF field but have not been successful. It either shows the error or shows nothing in Word 2013 as well. The one below displays nothing in Word 2013 as well.

{ If "{ DisplayBarCode http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#BarCodeAddIn QR }" = "Error! Bookmark not defined." "" "{ DisplayBarCode http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#BarCodeAddIn QR }" }

Any suggestions on the structure of the IF field? Perhaps this field is simply one that cannot successfully be used in an IF field.

Of course, I can avoid this by using another program to generate the bar code and then insert it as an image. This has the advantage of displaying the code in all versions. I'm just curious as to why the IF field is not working.

Equation causes Word to display wrong Line Numbers

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 07:13 AM PDT

If I include an equation and no other character, except the carry return, Word numbers the line containing the equation correctly in the current page, but does not count that line for the remaining of the document, therefore the next page will start one number short.

Question on how to create an unusual numbering style

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 06:53 AM PDT

I'm using Style Based Numbering, mostly in compliance with conventional wisdom on using style based numbering.   I have an odd numbering style that I'm trying to pull off. Mostly military style numbering, with a twist.

Heading 1, for the doc I'm working on, is set to show numbering as "Section I" (the text literal "Section " preceding the actual number, formatted as Roman Numerals. This part, I've already gotten to work.

Levels 2 and beyond (Headings 2 and beyond), I want basically Military style numbering, with the unconventional behavior of representing the Level 1 portion of the number as a digit (1, 2, 3), not the (I, II, III) style it's set to.

Example:

Section I:  Weekdays

(This is the example of text under Section I, which is the level 1 numbering ("I" is the number).

1.1 Monday

So for example, example "Monday" is the level 2 child of "Section I", but I want the numbering to show as 1.1, not I.1

1.1.1 Monday Mornings

And similarly, get the level 3 (and beyond) numbering levels to refer to the Level 1 number as a number, not the roman numeral.


I know the choice of the style itself is a bit odd, but nonetheless, is this doable?  Thanks in advance!  (As a bonus, if the answer can work in Office 2003 also, that would be nice).

Template for Word numbering styles

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 04:45 AM PDT

I am trying to create a template for non-technically-minded staff where I work, but am having trouble with automatic numbering and levels. I want to create a template using the following styles, all to be automatically numbered:

                                            Heading 2

1.       Heading 3

1.1     Body text

          (a) Body text

               (i) Body text

1.2     Body text

etc

1A.     Heading 4

1.3     Body text

1A(1)  Heading 5

1.4      Body text

          Heading 6

1.5     Body text

The headings will have additional formatting attached, such as different font sizes, bold and italic, but I can manage that! Can anyone help me try to get this set up using 'Define new multilevel list'? I will also need Heading 3 for the next chapter to be numbered 2, and for the next chapter 3 etc, with subsidiary numbering changed accordingly.

Office 2003 doc to 2013 track changes

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 04:32 AM PDT

Hi,

Client recently upgraded to new pc with Office 2013.

When opening a Word 2003 doc that had track changes, the changes don't appear but the red lines down the side do.

I take it this is to do with how Word 2013 sees the old .doc file?

Any way to get the tracked changes back or to see them?

Thanks

'Document not saved'

I have recently purchased a copy of Office 365.  However when I attempt to save or exit a Word 2013 document I have been editing I receive an error message "Word did not save the document".  I am attempting to save the document to my OneDrive.

This seems to be an intermittent fault as sometimes documents do save both while I am working and when exiting.

VBA Word Table - Adding borders

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 03:13 AM PDT

I have used the following VBA code to create a table in a Word document ...

Dim oCell As Word.Range
Dim oTable As Word.Table

Set oTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:=2)
  
Set oCell = oTable.Cell(1, 1).Range
oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
oCell.Fields.Add oCell, Type:=wdFieldDocVariable, Text:="""Name01""", PreserveFormatting:=False

This works OK.

How do I place borders around the cells and set the font to be Arial size 10?

Thanks in anticipation.

Word stops working when saving to Homegroup

When I go to save a document to a Homegroup on my main PC as soon as I click "Documents" in the Homegroup I just get the message "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and Word closes. The same thing happens when trying to open a document from a Homegroup. Similarly with Excel. I can open a document in the Homegroup from File Explorer but not directly in Word/Excel.

word 2013 freezes imidiatelly after opening file in compatibility mode

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 01:10 AM PDT

dear all,

the problem I have does not allow me to work on word at all. I am working with multiple people on various documents. As soon as I try to open the document from colaborators working on Office other than 2013 it turns on in compatibility more (that is ok, and should be like this), but after 1s it imidiatelly freezes not allowing me to do anything. After another few minutes it unfreezes just to allow me to scroll a bit and again freezes. I found the way to unfreeze document like this. I need to go and convert it to Office 2013. Than everything works ok with new document. But I can not do it for every file I receive from others (50+ per day) and the same is for the attachements in emials. Please help.

Microsoft Word stopped working after installing Windows updates

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 11:02 PM PDT

I bought a new computer a couple of weeks ago with Windows 8 preinstalled. I installed Microsoft Office via the website. The other day around 25 updates were installed on my computer. Since then I haven't been able to open Word, or access any existing Word files on my computer (Adobe works fine) . When I click on a document icon, or the Word Icon, nothing happens.   As I've just been made redundant and bought the computer so I can apply for roles, do my CV etc., it's a massive issue for me.

batch Find and Replace for docx files

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 07:07 PM PDT

I need to do a batch Find and Replace using about 12 rules on one .docx file.  (This is a linguistics project.)  Some examples of the rules I am using:

Find underlined not bold ??r and make it underlined bold

Find underlined not bold  [oO][uU]r and make it underlined bold

Find double-underlined not bold * and make it single-underlined not bold

The Find and Replace rules should follow the same format as Word's Find and Replace.

Anyone know of a reliable batch Find and Replace program  that will do this?  Most batch Find and Replace software works on a single Find and Replace Rule applied to multiple files, not to multiple rules applied to a single file.  I need to be able to store the rules.

How do I insert a row into a table only when merge conditions are met?

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:10 PM PDT

Hi there, I'm trying to merge data into a Word 2013 document and familiar with using IF fields to insert phrases only when certain conditions are met in the source data.

My scenario is a rental property lease. I need to insert the Pet terms and conditions only if the tenant has pets. I've achieved this using an IF field code.

The part I'm having trouble with is in the summary of fees table. I need a Pet Deposit row in my table only when the tenant has pets. If the tenant doesn't have pets then the row should not be inserted into the table.

I've tried taking the Pet Deposit row and splitting it from the main table, so that the Pet Deposit is a separate table with just a single row. I then place an IF field code around the Pet Deposit table so that it only appears when the "PetDeposit" <> "": 

The trouble is that when the Pet Deposit row gets inserted it has paragraph marks above and below:

Word won't let me eliminate the paragraph marks from the template and I don't want the users to have to manually delete them from the merged document.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Thanks, Neil

Delete or remove default templates that come with Word 2013

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:01 PM PDT

I have Word 2013 running on Windows 7 Pro at work.  I have a set of template folders that I use for the templates that come up with the "New Document or Template" button (the old FileNewDialog button).  With each successive release of Word, it has been more and more difficult to remove the templates that come with Word (letter/resume/etc).  I love working with the NDorT format rather than the newer setup, but the tabs are so crowded when I have both my template folders and the ones that come with Word.  I remember when you could just uncheck a box to get rid of these templates, but the last update (2010) required a registry edit that worked great on my home PC.  Now I can't find anything that tells you how to get rid of these things.  Why has Microsoft made it so difficult to delete these templates?  The documents look so generic anyway, I can't imagine many professionals using them.

I would appreciate any help in getting these default templates off my work computer.  TY!

Cannot Resize Word Art With Office 2013

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 04:03 PM PDT

I recently began using Office 2013 Home and Student on Windows 7 on a new computer. I cannot resize word art as I could with Office 2003/Windows XP. Dragging a resizing handle changes the size of the box containing the word art but the letters remain the same size. Another help tip I found said to use Drawing Tools>Format>Text Effects>Transform but the Transform option does not appear. I loaded a document with word art created with Office Word 2003/Windows XP and in 'compatibility mode' the resizing handles do resize the word art letters as desired. Any suggestions?

Files missing from subfiles in my documents

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 03:51 PM PDT

I was looking for a file in a subfolder and noticed that there were no files in the subfolder. I opened some other sub folders in My Docs and they do have files. It is just some of the subfolders, and subfolders inside of subfolders, but  not all of them. I am on the annual program for Office 2013 online. I noticed this about 3 days ago. I have rebooted and looked for answers but haven't found anything like this. Why would this happen all of the sudden and to some subfolders and not others in My Docs? I know the files were there a week ago. My OS is Windows 7.
