| Reverting to Body Text after bullet styles Posted: 20 May 2014 03:16 PM PDT Hello, I am creating a number of bullet styles to be used in place of the "Bullets" button in Word 2010 however I cannot replicate some of the built in bullets behavior with my styles and want to know if it is possible. When you use the built in bullets you can press Enter twice and the style reverts to Normal/Body Text. When i press Enter twice in my custom style the bullet is removed but the paragraph "MyBullets" remains. Is it possible to have a custom bullet style revert to Normal? Thanks in advance, Mark |
| office 365 products - no print unless run as adminstrator Posted: 20 May 2014 02:22 PM PDT I am using an Office 365 subscription under Windows 8.1. If I open the Office app normally, I can't print.

| Protecting access to VBE in a Macro enabled word doc Posted: 20 May 2014 01:12 PM PDT I am able to protect my VBA code in the Word doc by the standard method of setting the VBProject settings. However, after loading the new word doc, and enabling the Macro, the user is able to launch the VBE, add and execute any code they want through the Normal template. My concern is that I have no way to prove my code was not responsible for any deviant code operationas long as the VBE is available through enabling Macros when opening my document. Is there a way to disable all VBE access when my document is loaded, similar to how VBE access is managed in Excel? |
| Making labels from list of addresses on plain sheets of paper Posted: 20 May 2014 12:57 PM PDT Hello, I have a list of names and addresses that are on some plain sheets of paper and I want to make labels for them.

| Restore Cropped Picture From Cropped Out Portion - DATA IS STILL THERE!!! Posted: 20 May 2014 10:05 AM PDT All, I cropped several photos, then lost the edited photos. However, I found the "leftover" part of the original picture that I had edited out with the crop, with a dark, blank space over the rest of the picture, which I had cropped "in" to the newer, edited pic. I know the data is still there. I can see the full pic on the thumbnail view, AND, sometimes when I open the pic in Microsoft Office 2010, I will see the full original pic for a split second, before the darkened space reappears over the part of the picture that I originally cropped "in". Also, when I enlarge by using Ctrl + Mouse Up, it will still display the full original pic on the thumbnail until it gets big enough to a certain point, then the dark portion appears over the originally "kept" part of the picture again. I have tried every tool on the toolbar and I can't see how anything else in the program can help to restore the original pic, but there has to be a way... can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Mo |
| Header font appears blurry and doubled up Posted: 20 May 2014 09:52 AM PDT I am using Colonna MT font in the header of a book for the page numbers. In some places it appears to be blurry. When I look closely, it is almost as if it is doubled up or as if there was a shadow of the font behind it. It makes it very hard to read and I want to get rid of it. I can't see any different in the options I have selected between where this effect is occurring where it is not. I have deselected all the various font effects (outline, shadow, reflection, glow) One other thing I notice is that if I select a number and drag the cursor across it, then I can make the different digits have different tones. For example, if I select the page number for page "73", if I just click on it then it selects in a light grey tone. However, if I then drag the cursor across it left to right, the 7 goes dark grey while the 3 remains light grey, then as I keep going both the 7 and the 3 go dark, and a new light grey box pops up to the right of the 3. Its as if there is some other word object there, but I have no idea what it is. I am unable to get this effect on other text I try it with - its either selected and light grey, or not selected - so I am not sure what the dark grey select means. Any suggestions about what is causing this and how to get rid of it? Thank you |

| Office for Ipad support Posted: 20 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT My company decided to try Office for the ipad, through me. The down load and the subscription went well, and I started thinking about what I could do with it. What first came to mind was now that I can finish a word based contract on my IPAD, wouldn't it be great to have the customer sign the IPAD and be done with it? Simply email it to him at this point. So I spent an hour looking though the menus for a signature option, or at least a freestyle line option. Couldn't find anything. So I went online to Microsoft office 365 support, chat mode and asked how I could get a customer to sign a document. The question I got in return was "you don't know how to sign in?". It went down hill from there. It took forever for him to read my questions and comments, and ultimately he had no clue how word worked on an IPAD. So I got referred to another department within Microsoft, and spent another hour with them (1minute of explanation, 3 minutes off line trying to find an answer). He came on line at one point stating "it has that feature!" but had no clue as to where to access an ability to sign a document. What complicates this is that Microsoft/IPAD/Office has given no option to convert the document to PDF, or other way to pass the document to another application. So I cant even bring it into another application to sign it. Finally I got passed to another mysterious department, one specializing in Apple and Ipads, and in exasperation I said go ahead. To my amazement I was soon talking to a someone clearly with no trace of accent. My amazement soon passed as I realized Microsoft had passed me to Apple, and I was talking to an Apple Ipad representative. I thanked the Apple Rep for being so courteous, but told him I doubted they had the knowledge to help me with another companies application, especially a Microsoft app. He agreed and I am back where I started. |
| Microsoft Word Locking Files Up Posted: 20 May 2014 08:27 AM PDT We have multiple users and multiple versions of Office. Now that some people have the most current version we have issues with them locking up files for editing. If they have a word document open in read only, I can not go in and Edit that Document. If I have it open in read only with the older version anyone can still go in and edit that information. This is how we need it at our company. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this or is it just how the newer Microsoft will be?

| Word 2013 - Navigation Pane and Vertical Ruler not appearing Posted: 20 May 2014 07:23 AM PDT I recently upgraded to Word 2013. It seems that certain elements on the edges of the screen simply do not appear for me. When I display the ruler (using View > Check "Ruler"), the horizontal ruler appears correctly along the top edge of the screen, but the vertical ruler is absent. When I try to search using Home > Find or CTRL+F, nothing happens when I would expect the navigation pane to appear. When I try to view the navigation pane using View > Check "Navigation Pane", the navigation pane does not appear, and the "Navigation Pane" checkbox unchecks itself a few seconds after I check it. I repaired Office 2013 in Add/Remove Programs and it did not fix the problem. I am running Office 2013 excluding Outlook 2013, and have Outlook 2010 installed on the same machine so I can search emails. Uninstalling Outlook 2010 does not fix the issue. Does anybody else have a similar issue? Any solutions for this? |

| Image does not move higher in Word 2010 with Macro Posted: 20 May 2014 06:26 AM PDT Hi all,
I have created a Macro in Word 2010 to input an image as a header and footer for our company. The only thing is, the header image needs to be 1cm (in A4 paper terms) from the top of the page. Yet it is slightly lower. In the macro I have written Selection.ShapeRange.Top = PixelsToPoints(0). Although this is set to 0 it still hasn't made the image higher. I would appreciate it if I could get help on how to do this. Below is my full Macro: Sub BucklesTemplate()

| When refrencing in Word 2010 numbers appear large in text body? Posted: 20 May 2014 03:01 AM PDT Hello there, I am currently busy writing a report and have never encounted this problem before. All of my references have gone large in the text next to what I am trying to reference. Here is an example; The Law Commission in its latest report on the national minimum wage (NMW) stated that "the purpose of the NMW is to provide a wage floor, in order to protect low-paid workers against exploitation, without causing job losses1" Therefore has the National Minimum Wage Act 19982 (NMWA) achieved this in its goals? According to the Resolution Foundation "in its efforts to keep politics out of the NMW, the government has fallen into a strange neutrality about the minimum wage: there is no official preference over whether it rises or falls. This leaves the policy rudderless3" [1] Para 6.11, Page 189, National Minimum Wage, Low Pay Commission, Report March 2014, Cm8816 [2] National Minimum Wage Act 1998 c.39 [3] Page 8, More Than A Minimum, The Resolution Foundation Review of the Future of the National Minimum Wage, Resolution Foundation, March 2014 What has gone on here and what can I do to sort this problem out? Any advice will be much appreciated! |

| Office 2013 Professional Plus on Windows 8.1 - Unable to Download Templates Posted: 19 May 2014 11:39 PM PDT I started out on Windows 8 when Office 2013 Professional Plus was first installed. I also installed Project 3013 and Visio 2013. Then MS pushed out 8.1 and I upgraded. All software is fully patched using Windows update. I have repaired all office software multiple times. I have uninstalled using FixIT and reinstalled. I do not have a corporate firewall blocking any ports, sites or downloads. No matter what I have tried, I receive the "something went wrong while downloading your template". However, if I go to the MS Template website, I can download them manually. This seems to indicate that there is a problem with the configuration of my laptop or the Office 2013 software. Very frustrating! |
