Issue with Encarta Dictionary in Microsoft Office Word 2007

Posted: 25 May 2014 01:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I am having an issue using the Encarta Dictionary in Microsoft Office (Home and Student) Word 2007; every time I right click a word and then hit Look Up, the Research tab opens but it says "No results were found". Additionally, if I type in a word and then click the white arrow (in a green box) icon, the same thing happens.

The thesaurus seems to be working, as does the spellchecker. It is just the dictionary that seems to be having some sort of malfunction.

This first began happening about a week ago. Up until then everything was working perfectly.

I have not installed any new software/hardware (in the last couple of months), so I would not think that there would be any compatibility issues causing the problem.

I have tried running Microsoft Office diagnostics (no issues were found), doing a repair through Windows Programs and Features (without result), and uninstalling/re-installing the program (also, without result).

Finally (after looking online for a solution), I tried going into Research options, clicking on Add Services and then typing http://rr.office.microsoft.com/Research/query.asmx into the address bar, clicking add and then install. This too, has not resolved the issue.

My operating system is Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2).

Any assistance (or information) that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dennis

Lining number forms in footnote reference markers

Posted: 25 May 2014 12:53 PM PDT

I have a document with footnotes, and I'm trying to change the font from the default Cambria, probably to Constantia. The first thing you notice on trying to do so is that most of the new fonts use old-style number forms, which look horrible especially in footnote reference markers. I mean, footnote "1", supposedly superscript, extends to a lower height than a lowercase "i". Unacceptable. Now, I can go to Font > Advanced > OpenType Features > Number Forms and force the text to use lining number forms. But if I change the Normal style, the Footnote Reference style, or even the direct formatting, none of it actually takes effect! If I manually put in a superscript "1", give it the Footnote Reference style, and try any of the above, I get the nice lining number form that I'm looking for. So, it seems that using automatic footnote numbering disables any explicit override of the number forms. wtf?

Of course, as an unsatisfactory workaround, I can switch to a different font or force the reference markers to be raised higher up.

So, has anyone else run into this, and has anyone found a way to make it work?

Form field help text

Do I understand correctly that the help text in a form field only shows if you select F1, and will not automatically show when you hover over or begin to type in the text box?  Is there a work around for that?

Word 2013 printing issues (cannot print to specified tray)

Posted: 25 May 2014 10:53 AM PDT

The organisation i work for have recently migrated to Windows 7 with Office 2013. I work in the IT department and I have a particular issue I am currently dealing with and would appreciate any assistance with this.  A customer has a number of Word documents that where created in Word 97 -2003 format and are password protected.  The customer has not had the password for these documents for a number of years but this has not mattered until now as they are just used as templates and printed on headed paper. Up until the upgrade customer has been able to select print and on the Xerox print driver select the print output to tray 2 which is used for header paper.  This previously worked without any issues but once customer was upgraded to Word 2013 now no matter what she selects on the print driver properties e.g. tray 2,3,4 it will always come out on tray 3.  I am not very familiar with Word but i presumed the page setup on the document was configured to print to tray 3.  I recently discovered three others in the office use these documents and they are also on word 2013, these colleagues can specify tray 2 in the xerox print driver properties and this will print to this tray which has confused me.  I thought their may be a print driver issues on customers machine so i uninstalled the xerox driver and installed the print driver version her colleagues are using for this network printer but this did not make a difference.  On further investigation user can print to tray 2 out-with word 2013 so the issue is just confined to Word 2013, further to this when i run word.exe on customers machine with my domain account i can use these documents and print to tray 2 without an issue.  I thought this maybe an issue with the users word profile so tried the following: deleted normal.dot, deleted data, options, common word 2013 registry keys on HKEY Current user and re-booted but this did not make any difference.  Also please note if user creates a new word 2013 doc and in page setup selects tray 2 this will print to tray 2 fine.  

Reg keys deleted:

Office for iPad slow typing

"Contacts failed to load" problem when sending Word document

Posted: 25 May 2014 09:48 AM PDT

Whenever I try to send a document I've created using Microsoft's Word I get an error message from Microsoft Mail saying "Contacts failed to load."  After clicking OK, I get "Windows Mail could not be started.  The application was unable to initialize the Windows COntacts.  Your computer may be out of memory or your disk full (0x8000FFFF)"  After again clicking OK I get the following screen, " Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized."

My Operating System is VISTA Home Premium and I use Internet Explorer. 

The only issue I've had recently was a virus infection which Best Buy eliminated for me.  I think it has only been since then I've had this problem, but it may have been earlier.

I previously tried unsuccessfully to sync my Outlook Express address book with Windows Mail.   But that was long before this problem occurred.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Word 2013 will not print but everything else will..

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:05 PM PDT

Hi All, I have have tried many options but I really think this is a Word office 2013 problem.

Environment. Windows 7 64 bit, Office 2013 Home and Student tried installing as 32 bit and 64 bit but no change to the problem. Printer will work with Note pad, Firefox, Excel 2013, IE11, Thunderbird, etc

Tried many actions as suggested on the internet. Too many to write down.

Final actions

Un-installed Office 2013 using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501. This is a complete removal.

Checked to make directories are empty.

Reboot Pc.

Installed Office 32 bit and the same wit h 64 bit. No errors.

Go to print from Word 2013 . Error ¨We couldn't print because there doesn't seem to be a printer installed. :(. ¨ Same error as from the beginning)

What I have noticed

The printer is ready but the printer properties button does not work.

Page size = Custom page Size and with an exclamation mark.

Now you will like this

I opened Excel 2013 with a blank xls and add some data and it will print. Now if I go to word 2013 it will print. The printer properties button does now work in word and also the Page size = A4 (my default). Very strange.

Yes I did try stopping and starting the spooler, turned off fire walls, Avast, Emsisoft while installing and using

Thanks for any solutions

Microsoft Word deleted half of a previously saved document?

Posted: 24 May 2014 09:43 PM PDT

Hi,

I was writing something a few weeks ago and I opened the document up again today and instead of the at least 30-40 pages I had written, the version that appears is one with only 12 pages. I am completely sure I saved it, and even if I hadn't saved it the very last time I closed the document, the most I would have lost is a couple pages, not half the document- because I'd opened, saved, and closed it a few times since the current document version shown.

It's like Microsoft Word just decided to delete half my document and I tried to Autorecover it and some other stuff, but it says there are no previous versions available- plus, like I said, I haven't looked at it in a few weeks.

I'm super confused about how this possibly could have happened and I'd really appreciated any insight into recovering the original document. I know the odds are slim, but I just thought I'd try.

Thanks.

Having trouble with a two column form with tables

Posted: 24 May 2014 05:50 PM PDT

I've created this form:

2 columns

a table in each column

Each side has different information that gets filled in by the user. Sometimes it's a little bit of information, but sometimes it's a lot of information, necessary information. The problem comes with the left hand table runs to the bottom of the page. Then the right hand table gets pushed to the second page, leaving the first page with just a left hand column (ie: the right hand column is blank). Is there something I can do to make the left hand table move directly to the left hand column of the second page instead?

This is what happens:

NORMAL

left table | right table

TOO MUCH INFO

left table | <blank>

--page break---

left table | right table

WHAT I WANT

left table | right table

--page break--

left table | <blank>

Can I make this work in Word? Is there something else I should use?

License Question involving Exchange Server in SBS 2003

Posted: 27 Oct 2006 12:20 AM PDT

Your SBS 2003 R2 CALs cover the users accessing the additonal Windows Server
2003 R2 on the network and the Exchange mailbox. If the users have a
mailbox on Exchange they will need an SBS CAL regardless of what mail client
is used. If the workstations or users are accessing the SBS Server for any
reason, they will need an SBS CAL.

Group Email

No, you're not missing anything. Every mailbox is associated with a user,
and a user is directly associated only with that mailbox.

You could set up distribution groups for them to receive mail to Support,
Info, whatnot - and add the users to these groups so they all get the mail.

For sending....that's a bit more complicated, but you can assign them Send
As permissions on the distribution group and then show them how to use the
From field in a new message.

If you care about centralizing this stuff, so you don't end up with five
people replying to a message without knowing about the others' work, it
might be better to set up users/mailboxes for each of these addresses -
assign your users "full mailbox access" and send as rights, and then check
out RightFrom and UniSent from www.ivasoft.biz.

Hi Ed

I have found the answer to the problem. When selecting the mailstore to
restore within Arcsever you need to right click and clear the checked boxes
Automatically mount database before restore and Allow database to be
overwritten be restore.

I don't know if these options override Exchange settings but I suspect that
it may have started a database dismount and that it why the Outlook clients

Formular-Cell Word Counting

Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:29 AM PDT

Hi yopopa2,

Here is how I accomplish a similar task.

In a vacant column I use a IF formula to display a (1) if column A1:A20 have
the word chicken or fish, then I sum the vacant column to total all the ones
(1) displayed.

In my example below the formula for vacant column C is...........

=IF(A1="Chicken",1,IF(A1="Fish",1,""))

Formula reads if A1=Chicken display a 1 else if A1=Fish display a 1 else
display nothing.

Fill the formula down to cover all required rows.

Column B Row 14 formula reads as =SUM(C1:C13).

A B C
1 Fish 1
2 Chicken 1
3 Deer
4 Chicken 1
5 Honey
6 Fish 1
7 Chicken 1
8 Rabbit
9 Fish 1
10 Bird
11 Fish 1
12
13
14Total 7

Note: column C can be hidden by setting it's width to zero.

Insert Object - CSV file

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:54 AM PDT

Hello there,

I am trying to insert a CSV file in my word 2010 document.

I have tried it using both

'Insert Object - Create from File - Display as Icon' and

'Paste Special'

However in both scenarios, word is inserting CSV file as xls file - which messes up formatting of first column.

Here is the content of my CSV file:

"FILENAME";"DESCR"
"MyFile.pdf";"This is a sample pdf file"

When I try to open the CSV file after inserting it as an object in my word document -

Quotes goes missing for first column :-)

Can anyone please guide how can I insert my CSV file as text file which opens in notepad.

Thank you!

How to reset Column Defaults in Word 2010?

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:21 AM PDT

Very often, I use Word 2010's columns feature to reformat text into two columns, usually because I find it easier to read large quantities of text in columns. 

Each time I do this, I use Page Layout|Columns|More Columns to reset how the columns appear in two particulars:  First, I reset the space between columns from 0.5" to 0.2" and then I select "Line between."  For me, this is the optimal 2 column layout. 

However, I cannot find an option of that screen to make these the default settings for "Two Columns" (the easy choice on the dropdown list from Page Layout|Columns). 

Because I do this essentially every time I use columns, it seems to me there should be a way I can have Word 2010 simply apply these as the defaults when "Two Columns" is selected under "Page Layout|Columns."  But I cannot figure out how to do that.  On the screen presented under Page Layout|Columns|More (where I make these changes), I find no option for making these the default formatting choices for 2 columns.  I also tried looking under File|Options|Display and File|Options|Advanced, but didn't find a place to make these default changes. 

Is there a way I can set my Word 2010 so that, when I select "Page Layout|Columns|Two Columns" the two columns will be set with 0,2" spacing and a line between them?

Thanks,

Paul

Word freezes when using Find/Replace while connected via WiFi but NOT when connected by network cable. Similar problem with Outlook.

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT

This is just so bizarre.  I have a Lenovo laptop.  Just 2 years old and pretty powerful.  I do high-end CAD work so it's a powerful laptop.  32G RAM, etc. Using Office 2013 on Windows 7.

When I am plugged in via an Ethernet cable to the Internet, Word and all of office works beautifully. As soon as I am either offline or using a WiFi connection, Word freezes up when using the Find/Replace command.  This doesn't seem to happen with any other dialog box.

I have tried with an existing file and with a new document. I have tried with the laptop on a power source and off.

Similarly, I find that when I try to open Outlook when on WiFi, it also freezes. In both cases if I run Word or Outlook in safe mode, they work just fine.  I can find and replace.

This seems to have started when I created a new family mail account at outlook.com so I could have a family calendar. I have had a personal live.com account for a long time and never saw a problem there. Can there be an issue with Exchange ActiveSync? Does Word continually try to connect to my account?

While safe mode is work around, it isn't great if I want to be productive.  I work from home so I can plug in in my studio.  But if I want to work outside on a nice sunny day, everything becomes problematic.

Is this because my Ethernet connection is super fast but my WiFi is not (like when I am out of town and using a Verizon Jetpack for a connection)?  My wireless adapter's driver is up-to-date.

Anyone have a clue?

aligning radio buttons

Posted: 24 May 2014 08:55 AM PDT

My inserted radio button has its bottom aligned with the line it is in, instead of center aligned.

When having inserted a radio button, in design mode, right-clicking the radio button, choosing OptionButton Object > Edit, I get ancrosshair which I thought, indicated the ability to move the object around freely, but when I try to do so, the moved object jumps back to its original position after some seconds.

Another problem is the alignment of the radio button itself and its text.

Any ideas?

Customizations lost

Posted: 24 May 2014 08:25 AM PDT

Just recently, I have realized that Word no longer opens up the way I have set up (Body Text, 12 pt font, web view display), but the default way. Also, my tweaks of Headings (1, 2, & 3) are gone—back to default. The first thing I noticed was that a macro to print just one copy of the current document, on my QAT, is no longer working. I get an error message that it cannot be found.

 

OK what do I do now? Is it possible that my template has been deleted or corrupted? Or what?????

***How to create a FORMATTING template for Microsoft Word 2013?***

Posted: 24 May 2014 07:09 AM PDT

Hello there,

I am formatting a bunch of large Word documents, and am at the last stage - changing the format, i.e. font, indents, bold/italics, etc...

I have to do this for all 9 HUGE files. 

==> Is there a way for me to edit one piece of my work and then use that format template for the rest of the documents? That will save me DAYS of work.

So for example can I edit one half of my document with the exact indents, boldness, font size, etc, manually, and apply that to the other documents so I can just copy/paste for example into that format?

Thank you,

Unable to save

thanks for replying.

I have been using the Word 2010 for years. It's on a new computer. It will not let me save. On my wife's side of the computer, she can save all daylong.

any suggestions?

How do we give SpellCheck corrections or additions?

Posted: 24 May 2014 04:59 AM PDT

I love Microsoft Answers, and appreciate ho ready so many people are to help when people get stuck or have questions.

Sometimes, however, you (I) want to give feedback that doesn't need a whole discussion,as it is something that has been missed by the programmers and just needs adding in - after evaluation of course.

For example (this is just one of many I could submit): the word "undwear" is incorrect, but SpellCheck seems unaware of the correction which is "underwear".

I don't believe this is a case where use of the custom dictionary is appropriate, and would rather let the SpellCheck team know about this so they can take appropriate action.

The 2013 version of SpellCheck is significantly better than previous versions in the detection of errors, even if I don't always agree with some of the suggested corrections (95% of which are spot on). I do quite a bit of CopyEditing and this latest version is a pleasure to use, apart from some really irritating technical glitches.

I would love to be able to contribute to SpellCheck becoming even better.

Any thoughts?

dwm memory leak with Office 2013 on a dual monitor system

Posted: 24 May 2014 01:06 AM PDT

When I have a window from the office 2013 suite active on my secondary monitor, it causes dwm.exe to use far more memory than it should, and when working with large files (eg, a 60-page report or a 60-slide presentation), this often leads to windows detecting low memory and then automatically disabling aero. I notice that this issue only occurs while the document is stationary - if I move it around on the screen or scroll up/down within a document/slide show, the memory usage will drop considerably (to close to the base usage, around 50MB) before rising again.

Is there a known fix for this issue (apart from just not using office on my secondary monitor - I often have two office windows open at once etc.)?

I have 8gb RAM installed on a system with Windows 7 64x, and aero is disabled when dwm.exe reaches about 1.5GB ram usage.

Word 2013: Welcome Back Pop-up Window?

Changing system table formats

Posted: 23 May 2014 07:56 PM PDT

I want to link data from Access to a Word document with a certain table format.

The problem is that I can only get system-defined table formats for my table.  None of these work for my situation.  And, every time I update the link, the table reverts to the system defined table format even if I change the format manually.

I tried defining my own table format (but it won't save as a system format and hence I cannot use it in the "Insert Database/Table AutoFormat" window).

I tried redefining a system-defined table format (but it does not seem to save those changes).

Is there a way around this problem?

Thanks

Using bookmarks in word 2010 email mailmerge

Footer "blue dotted line" won't move down in Word document

Posted: 23 May 2014 05:04 PM PDT

I have a pleading (ruled and numbered paper) and I cannot get it to type to a certain point at the foot (line 28).  No matter what I change (using the ruler or the margins or page layout alignment (top) or "footer from bottom" measurements), nothing will get that blue dotted "footer" line to move down.  The footer itself will move down, but that does not help me type past the point I need.  Somebody did set up the caption of the pleading with columns and section break.  I usually just use a table.  I am wondering if this is the problem but it would be a huge deal to change it from columns to a table as everything in the documents starts to go wonky when I do that.

Does anyone know how to get that darn blue dotted line to move down with the footer text like it normally does?

Thanks.

Any smart way to chang text after : (colon) from italic to normal ?

Posted: 23 May 2014 03:56 PM PDT

Hi,

Considering the following example:

SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010).

Is there any way to change "An Alienated Life" from italic to normal using any smart way?

At the end, just Institutional World: should be italic. Example:

SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010).

The issue is that I have 20 pages which sums around 300 references like that and I would like to select the pages and run some command, a macro, a smart find/replace that somehow could identify=>

1- if there is text in italic

2- if this text has a colon : in between the words in italic

3- then change what is in italic and after the colon : to normal text

Such kind of magic would change my life :)

Many thanks!

MS Word VBA to insert copied portion of a document below the current page

Posted: 23 May 2014 03:53 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a macro that copies a body of text and places it into a new section at the "bottom" of the current document.  (See SAMPLE CODE below.)

The macro is connected to a Macro Button that is part of a locked MS Word 2010 macro enabled template.

I am attempting to create a similar macro that will copy a body of text and place into a new section "directly below" the section that contains the macro button.  Can I modify the existing macro to do that?

I assume I need a way to have the macro set the insertion point below the macro button so that the page will paste in the proper location.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

------------------------

SAMPLE CODE

Sub CreateNewProgressNotePage()

'Code below unlocks the original document
 If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
    ActiveDocument.Unprotect
 End If
 
'Code below selects the text between two Bookmarks in the document
 Dim oRng As Word.Range
 Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
    oRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("P_Start").Range.End
    oRng.End = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("P_End").Range.Start
    oRng.Select
   
' Code below will Unhide the selection
With Selection.Font
        .Hidden = False
End With
   
' Code below copys the selected text
 Selection.Copy
 
' Code below will Hide the selection again
With Selection.Font
        .Hidden = True
End With

' Code below navigates to the end of the document and creates a section break
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
    Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdSectionBreakNextPage

 
' Code below pastes what was copied earlier
 Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatOriginalFormatting)
 
' Code below relocks the original document
  ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
 
' Code below navigates to the End of the Document

Bob,

Thanks for the incite. I wasn't sure about the MSP files, and how they
applied to MSIs. I'm still curious why the installation didn't go very well
via Group Policy. I'll start fresh and try again.

I wonder if this is the first step by MS to move away from .msi's for
software deployment?

Transfering software to a new PC

Posted: 27 Nov 2006 01:11 PM PST

As long as the Office Suite is not an OEM version, uninstalling and
reinstalling is not a problem. You MAY have to call MS to activate depending
on how long it is since the previous activation. You will be prompted with
the correct telephone number when you get to the activation part of the
install: it is a locale specific number. This has never been a problem for
me. You can temporarily skip activation and use Office 50 times before it
shuts down to reduced usage when you will have to call MS.

If it is an OEM version, it is non-transferrable.

Problem going back to Office 2K from Office 2007 ...

Posted: 26 Nov 2006 10:12 PM PST

Please don't use CCleaner. That thing breaks Office 2007 when you ever
try to reinstall.
There is a reason why the steps are detailed and explicit. Anything
beyond those steps should not be used.

Changing language in Office XP (Brazil Version)

Posted: 25 Nov 2006 02:54 PM PST


Try doing the following:
go to - start, all programs, microsoft office tools, microsoft office
xp language settings,
then change the "Default version of Microsoft Office" to english US or
whatever your preference is....

If this does not work, try reading an earlier post of mine which may
help by searching on "Outlook default language changes when replying to
e-mails"
Good luck.

Hi D.T.,

There is a MS Knowledge Base article on that error message that includes many of the more common items that need to be removed.

The issue with Nero isn't part of that particular error.

To all:

I was successful finally in getting Office 2007 to install on my Vista
Ultimate machine. I ended up using the Daemon Virtual CD-ROM utility and had
to uninstall the Expressions Beta.

I will try re-burning the ISO images to CD-ROM using a slower write speed on
my Nero Ultra. I had just about come to the same conclusion as others: that
Nero running on Vista has some issues writing discs reliably.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I wish that Microsoft would give us some
additional source of information when they display error messages with
cryptic phrases telling you to uninstall "associated technologies." If they
know what the "technologies" are, why can't they post a KB article telling us
what to remove? How many hours have been wasted by the collective community
trying to get this install to work, when a little official help could have
lowered everyone's frustration level greatly? I know the Community is a
great place to come for assistance, but there are so many strategies proposed
by so many users, it can be confusing and time-consuming to sort through to
find the ones that may meet your particular situation.

Just a thought...

Using Office 2003 and Office 2000

Posted: 24 Nov 2006 10:05 AM PST

Thanks for the help. With the fact that our OB 2003 is not the "upgrade"
version... If we uninstall OB 2003, install O2kPro, and reinstall OB 2003,
will OB 2003 automatically "overwrite" the word, excel, outlook, and all
other pertinent components of O2kPro? Basically, after uninstalling OB 2003,
should we install our retail version of O2kPro (in full), before reinstalling
OB 2003, or install O2kPro without the word, excel, and outlook components?
Since the two versions of office will be in different folders, would we not
end up with two installations of word, excel, and outlook?
