Need help with fixing corrupted word doc file. Part:/word/document.xml, line:2 column: 1086295

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:42 PM PDT

I prepared a report with embedded pictures and drawings. Yesterday I was doing final reformats and alignment of pages before everything went crazy. Ti closed and went back to the previous saved version but the following message appears. 

"The name in the end tag of the document must match the element type in the start tag". Then the detail states "Part: /word/document. xml, line:2, column: 1086295".

I note from earlier entries that this type of errors have been corrected previously. Can someone please help me?

The corrupted document has been uploaded in dropbox.

Much appreciated. 

Office 365 Small Business Premium Word 2013 spell checker doesn't check spelling or grammar

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:24 PM PDT

The spell checker in both Word 2013 and Outlook 2013 simply doesn't work in my installation. The option is checked to spell check and there are dictionaries that are apparently available as defaults. No words are flagged as misspelled, and the grammar checker seemed to enjoy reading "He don't go nowhere." So emails are going out without spell check, and Word documents aren't checking anything either. PowerPoint didn't flag any nonsense words either.
I've seen some posts here about spell check problems, and I've checked all of the potential solutions that might apply to my situation. There was something about a proofing tools add-in, but when I tried to follow the instructions applicable to Windows 7, only a "repair" tool appeared to be available from the Programs part of Control Panel, and that spooked me away from continuing. I don't want to run a giant repair against my Office installation if there's another option.


Can't adjust tabs in MS Starter 2010

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:06 PM PDT

I can't find the tab adjustments in MS Starter 2010. Neither can I figure out how to change a tab's orientation from left to right to center tab. I know this in Word, but not in Starter. Please help.

Error codes and problems with Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:03 PM PDT

Using Microsoft office 2013 on an x86 windows 8 machine, I've recently started getting some errors and having problems.

Microsoft Word 2013 fails to open. When I try to open it via the .exe I was previously presented with the error message; "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (40)" and trying to open a word file using Word 2013 returns the error message; "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (2)".

After uninstalling Microsoft Office 2010(which was not being used) I now receive the same error message when trying to open a file, but trying to open Word 2013 via its executable returns the message: "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now?".

Choosing to repair does nothing.

The quick repair option in Control Panel also does nothing and the online repair returns the error code: 30029-4

Other than that, Excel will run in neither normal nor safe mode, with or without admin privileges, the quick note function of OneNote doesn't run and Powerpoint simply fails to start when run.

Has anyone had this problem before or does anyone know what could be causing this?

I've looked around and seen that there are a few people with the same problem but nobody seems to be able to offer a definitive answer.

As far as I'm aware, none of the programs with a tendency to interfere with Microsoft Office are installed on the machine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The default settings in my document is such that I am not able to type words like "operating system" in a single line. It breaks up the two words in 2 lines.

Word 2013 refuses to save document

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:44 AM PDT

I have been using Word 2013 for some time now. I must say that I am still adjusting after having had a very satisfying experience with Word 2010. All of a sudden Word 2013 is refusing to save documents. I am ending up copying the contents of 2013 documents and copying on blank 2010 files in order to save hours of work from going down the drain.

I am using 2013 in 2010 compatibility mode because it cannot align tables with the bottom margin (Table Tools>Layout>Select Table>Properties>Around>Positioning>Position: Bottom Relative to: Margin) , a  feature which I have been using for years (at least since 1997) and which is very important for me.

Does the fact that I am using 2013 in compatibility mode have anything to do with its refusal to save documents?

Thanks

Office Home and Student 2010 failure after upgrade to Windows 8.1

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:44 AM PDT

Hello,

I recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 8. I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 (Family Pack) and everything worked great. I was recently prompted (last Tuesday?) to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and since then (Friday, 90% certain the timing is right and 100% certain there have been no other changes) the following has been occurring:

  • PowerPoint can be opened from "the app screen" (whatever it's called, unfamiliar with new style windows).
  • When opening a PowerPoint file the program stops at the load graphic [Opening "filename" 0%]
  • Word cannot be opened from the app screen or by clicking on a file.
  • Word can be opened in safe mode.
  • Word can save files created in safe mode but cannot re-open them.
  • Excel can be opened from the app screen.
  • Excel cannot open existing files.
  • I don't use OneNote (whatever that does)

I ran the compatibility trouble shooter but it just continues searching and doesn't produce any results or give up.

Have read a couple of discussions with people having issues with installing Office 2010 on Windows 8.1 so I am anxious about trying reinstalling and those discussions started with a different problem but I have the box/license key and all that with me if that's recommended.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

(Not so) Simple Search and Replace Macro

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:43 AM PDT

I'm trying to create a macro to open a file in a certain folder, search for keyword, replace the keyword with a null value, save and close the document, move to the next document.

 

Everything works just fine with the exception of finding the word and replacing it with a null.

 

I currently have the following data:

#Tag=1001
#Tag=1002
#Tag=1003
#Tag=1004
#Tag=1005
#Tag=1006
#Tag=1007
#Tag=1008
#Tag=1009
#Tag=1010
#Tag=1011

All I want to do is simply take out the pound sign to get:

Tag=1001
Tag=1002
Tag=1003
Tag=1004
Tag=1005
Tag=1006
Tag=1007
Tag=1008
Tag=1009
Tag=1010
Tag=1011

I have the following code:

Sub FindReplace(ByVal FName As String)

  Dim D As Document
  Dim R As Range
  

'Open the document
  Set D = Documents.Open(FName)

'Get the range for the whole document
  Set R = D.Content


'Search for the keyword
  Do While R.Find.Execute("#Tag")


'Find the pound sign and replace it with null
  R.Find.Execute (Replace("#Tag", "#", ""))


'Setup object R to the position after the keyword up to the end of the document
  R.SetRange R.End, D.Content.End


  Loop


'Save and close
  D.Close True, wdOriginalDocumentFormat

End Sub

It goes thorough each file and makes no changes. I'm stumped!

Thanks in advance for any ideas that would help

Word 2013 - How do I change the "new file" view?

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 09:02 AM PDT

In Office (Word) 2013, when opening a new file (File tab, new), the icons show an image of a generic document that is very large.  I get two rows of these icons, 5 icons wide, in a screen view.

As is is, I have to scroll down many rows to get to the template I wish to use.  In office 2010, these icons were smaller and appeared all on a single screen without scrollbars.

Is there any way to go back to the old view in Office 2010 that showed all of the icons regular size on one screen at a time?

MS Word 2010 F12 (i.e. "Save As," does not save file in right location

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 08:26 AM PDT

If I am working on a document, I may want save it under a new name.  In the past, I would press F12 and Save it under the new name.  Lately, I don't know why, when I do this, it will save it in some other folder and it can be very hard to find.  I don't know what happened, but I would like a file to be saved in the folder in which it originated unless I specifically indicate a different location.  Does anyone know what happened and how I can get the "Save as" to work properly again? 

Thank you,

Word Program missing from Office 365

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 08:03 AM PDT

I have been using Word as part of my subscription to Office 365, but now I can not locate the word program.

I found it difficult to get to when it was part of the huge start screens with windows 8.1.

Now the entire program is gone.

I have the other components of Office.

How do I go about downloading just Word without using up allocated downloads of the Office Programs as I still haven't installed on my home laptop yet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bug in 2013 (New Doc; Show FieldCodes; Zoom)

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 07:50 AM PDT

I have found a bug in Word2013 that I can duplicate at will. How do I report this to MS?

Setup:

  1. Create a document in Word 2013. (Doesn't error in 2010 or 2007). (OS doesn't matter. I can duplicate in w7 and w8)
  2. Add a second page. (It must have second page by code, not by length.)  (Ctrl-Enter will do it.)
  3. Add this macro to the document and run the macro.

Sub smallscreen()

     'When run against a two page document, it causes Word to generate

     'a 'small screen' for the next new document.

     ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = True

     If ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes Then ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False

End Sub

    4.. Now create new document (Ctrl-N or File|New). It, and all subsequent documents, will be 'zoomed' to 10%.

I have written a program that has many switches between ShowFieldCodes True/False and this bug is killing me! (If I zoom the new document created in step 4 back to 100%, then subsequent new documents open at 100%, but who wants to have to do that?)

Microsoft Visio/Word Import/Export Bug

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 07:45 AM PDT

Hi All

I have found a 'bug' when working with Microsoft Office and Visio. I will try and detail it below...please bare with me it is quite long winded

Using Microsoft Office 2010...

1) Create a new Visio Drawing

2) Insert 2 shapes

3) Save drawing

4) Close Visio

5) Open Word

6) Drag/drop the saved visio file into the document. (or go insert -> object -> Create from file -> navigate to file)

7) Save document.

8) Double click on embedded visio file, to edit the visio object "in-place"

9) Modify the visio object by deleting one of the 2 shapes (Only delete a shape, do not do anything else to the visio file)

10) Click away from the Visio object to return to Word.

11) Navigate to file -> save as.

12) Save document

13) Navigate to file -> save as

14) Save document as PDF

15) Upon opening the PDF,  it should contain both shapes, yet the Word document contains only a single shape

If someone could confirm this it would be appreciated. I have tried it on several different machines with the same result.

Let me know if there are any further questions.

If this is confirmed as a bug, how do i go about escalating it to Microsoft?

MS Word 2013: Clustered Column chart: Word 2013 application is behaving bizarrely while applying Chart Style (style 4 onwards) to the inserted clustered column chart.

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 04:48 AM PDT


MS Word 2013: Clustered Column chart: Word 2013 application is behaving bizarrely while applying Chart Style (style 4 onwards) to the inserted clustered column chart.

Description:


Suppose I applied style 4 to the inserted clustered column chart based on the data in the table titled "XYZ", after closing and re-opening that saved doc file. I observed that clustered column chart visually appears no different, but if I click on it, it now says it has Chart style 5.

I observed that in MS Word 2013 application if I apply any Style (Style 4 onwards -including style 4) e.g. Style 6 to Clustered Column chart, after saving changes and reopening same file, It says 'Applied chart style + 1' style i.e. in this case it will say 7 instead of Style 6.

Note:

1-    If we again reopen the file and re-apply desired style to chart in start file then it will retain the re-applied style whenever we open that file.This issue is not reproducible for Chart style 1, 2 and 3.

Word 2010 not recognising printers installed on network

Word 2013 saves to My PC and user location & can only view docs when opening Word but can not locate in file

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:51 AM PDT

I create a new Word .docx. It saves. but I can only view this document type when I open Word ad go to recent documents.  I can not even see this document in my folders.  the only way I can save a Word doc to a folder I choose and then be able to see it is if I save it as a .doc (97 - 2003 version)

Also if I try to attach any document I have saved as .docx , when i want to attach it to an email it can not be found in the folders.

Plus for a time there all my word docs where being save to WordPad... I think this has now stopped.

Why are you making my life so difficult??

VBA Word - New text at start of document

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:38 AM PDT

I need to introduce a title, some standard information, and a table into an existing Word document. This block of new data needs to be positioned before the existing text.

My attempt to code this is as follows:

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

' strTitle and strInformation are set here

Selection.TypeParagraph

Selection.Font.Size = 24
Selection.Font.Name = "Arial"
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(18, 75, 122)

Selection.TypeText (strTitle)

Selection.Font.Size = 10
Selection.Font.Name = "Arial"
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText (strInformation)

Set oTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:=2)

With oTable.Range.Cells
    .Height = 20
End With

With oTable.Range.Font
    .Name = "Arial"
    .Size = 8

End With

Set oCell = oTable.Cell(1, 1).Range
oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
oCell.Fields.Add oCell, Type:=wdFieldDocVariable, Text:="""Name01""", PreserveFormatting:=False

' Similar code exists for the other cells in the table, and is not repeated here. The variable 'Name01' is returning the correct value. 

Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)

Selection.Font.Bold = True

Selection.TypeText Text:="Original text starts here ..." 'Coloured red

' Existing text reverts back to non-bold black text. Remaining text is unchanged.

Selection.Font.Bold = False
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

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

The majority of the code is working OK. However, 2 problems remain.

1) I want the text in the cells to be aligned to centre and left.

2) The message "Original text starts here" is positioned in the table cell instead of in the body of the document.

Any help would be appreciated.

Word (all versions) starts very slowly on some documents

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 12:44 AM PDT

We have MS Word 2003 installed in our office and we use this to create documents.  If I copy one of these documents onto another computer (eg my home one) and open it with Word 2013, it sometimes takes a very long time.  The startup screen on Word 2013 indicates that it is searching in \\server\My documents - which is the location where workgroup templates are stored on the office computer.  This folder does not exist on my home computer.

I think that the problem is that documents are created using a template in \\server\My documents at my office, but this network folder does not exist on my home network.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Make use of interface blank area when viewing footnotes

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 09:55 PM PDT

Hi,
I'm writing an scientific paper that requires footnotes. Sometimes, when I find myself at difficulty at tracking the footnotes, such as the first time it was mentioned in the body of the text.

So I changed the view to the draft layout. Then, I selected the References, Footnotes section, show notes. The footnotes frame opened in the lower portion of the interface.

This is the best way to view footnotes linearly. However, the draft view only takes advantage of the leftmost "column" for the body text, as you can see in the attached image. The mandatory horizontal division makes it difficult to read both parts of the text – the body and the footnotes. On the other hand, there is a wide unused portion to the right that could be occupied exactly by the footnotes panel, optmizing the workflow and readability dramatically.

Is there any way to change the view so the footnotes stay SIDE BY SIDE with the body and not BELOW it?

Thanks!

p.s. I already asked this in the Portuguese section here but they got me wrong :(

cant load Word 2013

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 04:10 PM PDT

Brand new Acer notebook, Win 8 (can't upgrade to 8.1, man at the store said that free upgrade ended in March), downloaded & installed Word 2013, when I try to open it everything looks good, the window for Word comes up, then a little screen pops up saying "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result". There are 3 choices, repair, help, close, tried repair & nothing happens, went to help & scanned over the several hundreds of problems & possible fixes, one I actually tried, went to installed programs, highlighted word, at the top clicked on change, clicked on quick repair. It went thru the process & said repairs were finished & I could use Word now, wrong, same error. I checked the compatibility mode & checked the box to display all websites in compatibility view, same error, Active X filtering was checked, unchecked it, same results. I had also removed Norton antivirus in case Norton was causing a problem, same thing. Any suggestions or do I need to call MS?

there?

I assume if the writers of the programs wanted them there they would of done
so.

There is another tool called "tweak Ul" it may have the ability to do what
you want. Google for Microsoft PowerToys to find it.

Thanks once again for the further tip, that's going to be useful... I've only

can't convert Works spreadsheet to Excel

Posted: 22 May 2009 03:05 PM PDT

You can do a File, Save As to a XLS file, but your original XLR file is
still there and any time you do a Save (rather than a File Save As) in
Works it will save as an XLR.

But as Keith indicated, Excel can directly read XLR files, so no
conversion is necessary.

I had the same problem. I finally right clicked on the word icon (samething
would work on the program menu) and then clicked on "Preferneces" I then
clicked on "compatibility' and there was a message there saying if I was
having trouble with this program and it worked ok before, I should select
from the menu, the package under which it worked alright. Thank Heavens there
was only one item and it was Windows XP (service pack 2.) Even thought I am
sure that I never ran this under XP since it was a program that came with my
new Vista, when I click on that, it solved the problem. I am not a computer
whiz and don't know why but you might just try going to the "compatible" site
to see what is there.

number a report

Posted: 16 May 2009 03:29 PM PDT

Shwmae Rodney,

I honestly don't recall that particular post. ;)

In general, to auto-number a list in a report, create a field (rank) that is
self-referencing and which automatically increments by 1 i.e rank=rank+1.

However, there would need to be a means of sorting the records, based
on one of the field's contents - e.g earnings or position etc to get the correct
order before numbering.

Therafter, report filtering can be used to select the rank values required.

HTH,

After installing the new windows 8.1 update, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint no longer work. Publisher does work however. I tried opening it in safe mode, running it with administrator, using compatibility options, repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling, and even trying to use regedit to fix it. The only solution I found that worked was uninstalling the new update. Is there a way to fix this problem?

How to save in external harddrive by default

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 01:29 PM PDT

I want to save work, and also my photos, onto my external hard drive rather than onto the internal hard drive.  Is it possible to tell Office to do this by default, e.g. so that when I go to "Save as" it takes me directly to my external hard drive?  Also can I do something similar for my photos?

Something Went Wrong With Your [Office365] Program .. But I can't do anything

When I try and open any Office365 program it comes up with the error message

When I go and try and repair this install I get error message number 2

I have rebooted and rebooted and re-installed and even performed a system restore.

I cannot work out what is going wrong here - there is nothing installing, yet it seems to not want to do anything.

Can someone suggest how I can move forward with this as nothing I have seen would suggest a solution

Can't Type New Text Over Selection

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 11:40 AM PDT

Hi:

This problem is driving me crazy.  Hope someone can help.

I select a block of text using the cursor. Then I try to type the new text in.  It takes about 3 keystrokes for the program to respond. Then I'm able to type the new text.  This is slowing me down terribly.

Under Options, the following, which may be relevant:

Typing replaces selected text -- checked

Enable Click and Type -- checked

Will very much appreciate any help.

Any fix?? I tried re-installing and repair options and reinstall says I have used up all my licenses and repair says it can't find the download link.

very frustrated and paper is due.

Fields in Word 2013 strange behavoir

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 09:36 AM PDT

Hi all,

When i use a field with a formula in word 2013 it doesn't seem to handle currencies correctly. If i try to add the values in a column with formula SUM(ABOVE) everything works ok if the currerencies have no decimals (e.g. € 40 + € 50 adds correctly to € 90) but when i use decimals things go wrong (e.g. € 40,01 + € 50,00 adds to € 0,00). "," is the decimal character in Dutch. I've checked this in the language settings and other office tools and earlier versions of Word treat it correctly. To make things even stranger: when i add two numbers with the period as decimal character i get these results:

€ 40.00 + € 50.00 gives € 90,00 (periods in the arguments but a comma in the field, correct result)

€ 40.00 + € 50.01 gives € 91,00 (periods in the arguments but a comma in the field, incorrect result)

Has anyone have any idea how to resolve this? My customer billing depends on this function.

Thanks, Gertjan

Updating references in word 10 and associated problems

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 08:21 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a huge word document filled with references and cross references and suddenly it started playing tricks to a point of despair.

First it stopped updating the figures and the table  numbers so I got same references for tables and figures.

Then it stopped updating the table of contents so I had to delete the TOC and insert again.

Then it lost track  of the links , that is when I right clicked on a reference , rather than moving the cursor to the corresponding table or figure  it went directly to the first page.

When I tried inserting a new reference because the existing ones were not updating and the update field was grayed out I just got Table without a number but if I chose the whole caption then all the caption was inserted.  I toggled fields and there is an indication that there should be a number or at least that is what I noticed when I compared fields to one where the number is shown.

The whole thing is driving me crazy and cannot find heads or tails of it now.

Finally I am using track changes since the document  needs to be submitted in such a format.

Numbered paragraph style, first word, etc. in bold until colon, then "normal" styled text

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 08:21 AM PDT

I've had times where this ended up kinda/sorta happening automatically (more specifically, I suppose this was via format painter where it retained the styling of first word bolded, rest not), but I'd like to figure out if there's a way to control it.

What I'd like to accomplish, is for my style overall to behave like this, as automatically as possible (including numbering, as part of the style).

1. First few words bold: Then after the colon, regular looking text

1.2 More first few words: And after the colon, regular looking text

1.2.1 You get the picture:  So my question is, is there a way to do this?  (Or worst case, just the first word bolded, rest automatically not?)

What happens when you delete ChemDraw and Word seems to want to find its Add-ins

Hi I've deleted ChemDraw on my PC and it had an add-in for MS Office 2013 and now I can't seem to create a graph inside Word without getting the message:

"Sorry, we couldn't find C:\Program Files (x86)\CambridgeSoft\ChemOffice2010\ChemDraw for Excel\ChemDrawExcel12.xla. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?"

I click, "Ok" which is the only option it gives me but whenever I try to create a graph again I get the same message.

I would sure like to create new graphs in Word so I would love it if somebody could help me with this.

Number formatting in Word 2010

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Is it possible to format numbers in Microsoft word 2010 i.e put commas separators while using mail merge. I want the Indian style of formatting numbers which will show the numbers as follows

100,000 is to be displayed as 1,00,000

1,000,000 is to be displayed as 10,00,000

and so on.

While searching the community, I found formatting options using \# "#,##0" after the mail merge field. This displays the formatting in millions while i want in lakhs.

Want to change 'fields' into 'characters'

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I need to remove field codes in a bibliography and change back into text.

Have searched everywhere and its been suggested that I highlight text to be changed then use Ctrl+shift+F9 but when I do this nothing really happens other than small white boxes (some with numbers some with letters in) appear on the ribbon/menu bar which disappear if you click on them. The prescribed keys may not work as my laptop keyboard is a lenovo for thinkpad.

Someone had written a makro to do this for me but it only seems to work in word 2003 itself on the PC that version of word is on and as that PC is dying I shortly won't have access to it (the license for that word version is only for that PC).

tables of figures for diffrent captions without spaces

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 03:44 PM PDT

I have a document that have multiple chapters and in each chapter I use different caption for my figures. In chapter 1 the figures are Fig1. 1, Fig1. 2 ...

but in chapter2 they are Fig2. 1, Fig2. 2 etc.

In order to make a list of figures I added multiple ones; the first one is table of figures for Fig.1 the second one for Fig.2 and the last one for Fig.3. However, the problem is that they will have a space between them and I cant delete it. so my final list of figures looks like that:

List of Figures

Fig1.1 aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Fig1.2 bbbbbbbbbbbb

Fig1.3 cccccccccccccccc

Fig1.4 ddddddddddddd

Fig2.1 ssssssssssss

Fig2.2 dddddddddddd

Fig3.1 dddddd

Fig3.2 bbbbbbbbbbbb

Fig3.3 cccccccccccccccc

Fig3.4 ddddddddddddd

I cant delete those two spaces, and my final list of figures looks weird as I showed in the previous example.

Any suggestions

Ahmad
