Microsoft Word - microsoft word 365 wont open- gives error message


microsoft word 365 wont open- gives error message

Posted: 30 May 2014 02:03 PM PDT

I've just downloaded Microsoft Office 365 onto my Windows 8 laptop. Everything works fine except Word. It appears to begin to start, but then an error message appears that says "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 us to repair it now?" Then I can choose "Repair Now", "Help" or "Close". The "Repair Now" option doesn't work. Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks- Anne 

Printing issue, documents no longer printing in order

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:02 PM PDT

My company just upgraded my office from 2000 to 2010, with this has come a lot of headaches for me.  I need to be able to do batch document printing so I would name my documents, 1document, 2document, 3 document and I could get them to print in order when I was using word 2000 now they just print in random order even with being named in order.  I am sure it's an easy fix, unfortunatly I don't have access to the spooler settings on the printer so hopefully there is a work around other than printing them one by one. 

Readability Statistic

Is the readability statistics tool available in other languages, specifically Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish? Would a Japanese/Chinese/Spanish user turn on/off the readability statistics tool the same way an English-speaking user would? 

Word 2013 Print Inline changes without comments or formatting bubbles

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:44 PM PDT

Hi, 

I am trying to print a pdf of a Word 2013 document with inline changes only. However, every time I try to do this, I get the formatting bubbles to the right, and they are cut off the page. I just want the pdf with the changes marked inline. Thanks!

Why does the recommended placement of a Style in the Style Pane change after I've assigned it?

Posted: 30 May 2014 12:06 PM PDT

I created a Template with a set of Styles that our company uses. I've gone into Manage Styles and assigned a recommended placement for all the Styles. I assigned an often-used Style to a priority of "3." I sort the list "as recommended" and check the box to "Show Recommended Styles Only".  Then I save, restrict to "Limit Formatting to Permitted Styles" and save as the file as a .dotx.

I then double-click to open the file, save it as a .docx and begin to create a document. After I've worked on it for a day or 2 (saving, closing, etc.), I find that the Style I've assigned to "3" has changed to be "last." I don't understand why this is happening or how to fix it.  The other Styles stay in the correct order. The .docx that I'm working on still has the formatting limited to permitted styles only, and I haven't even opened the "Manage Styles" window.  And I don't have the "automatically update" box checked.

Can anyone help? 

Thanks,

Susan

Formatting text in accordance to text colour

Posted: 30 May 2014 11:31 AM PDT

Hello Everyone.

I have a large word document that totals over 5000 words that I am wishing to print. It is in the form of a survey, with questions answered in the format shown below.

1. What is your name? John Smith

I currently have the question and answers in the same font and style, but the answers are printed in red text. However, I wish to print the file from a black and white printer and was wondering if there was a tool similar to the find and replace tool that could find all of the red text in the file and apply formatting to it i.e. make it all italic.

Thank you in advance

Help, copying address from document to envelope Word 2010

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I hope I can explain this properly but when I copy an address from a proof of service document into the envelope portion of mailings, it does not format the address properly.  It will run the lines together.  With Word 2000, I would have no issues, it would properly paste the address into the envelope without having to manually space the address.  As an example, when I paste into 2010 it looks something like this...

Jeff So and So 3455

This Street, Los

Angeles CA 90070.

Does anyone have a solution to this?  I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to have to manually change the address when printing envelopes but when you print 200 envelopes a day, every second spared is a very good thing.  Thanks for your time.

Bookmarks disappearing/deleted after running the TOC Update

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I have a large document with a large TOC using several different styles to create links within the document from the TOC as styles normally do.

I have also inserted bookmarks into many parts of of the TOC to quickly hyperlink from within the document back to certain locations in the TOC.

Whenever I add a new section.sub-section into the document....and then right click in the TOC and Update Entire Table.......the update will run.....it will add in the new headers and or sub headers......but it deletes every bookmark I previously created......so...I am forced to re create many many bookmarks on every update to the document. I have researched exstensively but can't figure out why the bookmarks get wiped on the TOC update.

Any info would be appreciated.

Word Starter 2010 - Everything Appears Half Size In Print Layout

Posted: 30 May 2014 09:25 AM PDT

Half Size Problem

I have the preloaded Office Starter software. All has been going well in Word (and Excel).

I like to work in Print Layout in A4. That is - very basic.

Suddenly, any new document, set to A4 (Page Layout - Size) with a standard 11 pt. font, is appearing small in Print Layout.

I haven't adjusted any of the settings; so the only way to get to a working format {when set to display in Print Layout) is to re_size in A3.

Has anyone had this problem ?

 

incorrect pagination in table of contents

Table pasted from EXCEL spreadsheet into Word won't join table created from in Word.

Posted: 30 May 2014 07:45 AM PDT

I have a Word document with a table in it that I created from scratch in Word.  Then I pasted a table from an EXCEL spreadsheet into the Word document below the table created in Word, and I can't get the EXCEL table to join the Word table, even with the two tables' "Text wrapping" set to "None".  When I delete the paragraph mark at the end of the Word table, the first character in the top left cell of the table from EXCEL gets deleted, and the two tables won't join.  But if I delete the table pasted from EXCEL, and create a table from scratch in Word, and delete the spaces between the two tables they do join, so I know how to make two tables join, just not if the bottom one is an EXCEL-created table.  Can someone tell me how to let the EXCEL table join the Word table?  Is it maybe because the EXCEL table might have automatic links, or something else attached to it from EXCEL?  It is a simple table with only text and no formulas.  Thank you.

Tracked changes nightmare - everything gone!

Posted: 30 May 2014 06:47 AM PDT

I've trawled the web for an answer, but I'm coming up short...

I've been working on editing a long document (100k words) over the last couple of weeks. I've been using 2 different computers, and the tracked changes have been showing up in two colours - for "Username1" and "Username2" depending on which device I'm using.

On the computer corresponding to "Username1" I've just upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2010. I opened up the file today, only to find all the changes I'd made to the document in the previous week have vanished - right from the point where "Username2" edits ended. 

It should have looked like this when I opened the file:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Username 1 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (66k words)

But it looks like this:

- Username 1 edits (10k words)

- Username 2 edits (12k words)

- Rest of unedited document (78k words)

It looks like the upgrade to Word 2010 has stripped out all the changes made since I started the last session. Or perhaps they're hiding in there somewhere and I can't access them. Privacy settings maybe? I can't figure it out, why it would remove only the last round of editing and not the previous ones. 

Anyway, I didn't have a chance to send the non-stripped-out version to my cloud account before this happened - and it looks like the removal of the changes is permanent as the missing edits don't show up in other programs I've tried to use to get them back, including plain text. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have happened, and whether I can get these changes back?? They amount to about a third of the work I've done on this document, and will take me a week to go through them all again. 

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!!

Step 1:  Open a new word Document.

Step 2: Type the below in the document :

           Feature based testing (FBT)

Note: Feature based testing -> Is Bold and (FBT) - > is not Bold

Step 3: Now copy the word typed in Step 2 , but we see the following getting copied :-

Default measurement in Word 2013

Posted: 30 May 2014 01:23 AM PDT

I've recently upgraded to Office 365 and Word 2013. I've noticed that measurements for paragraph indents/spacing and tabs in dialog boxes are shown as 'px' - pixels - and revert to this even when entered as points or centimetres. Changing the default measurement under Options, Advanced doesn't solve it. If I have set a paragraph indent and just need to check it, I can't because it is shown as pixels. I can't understand why anyone would need pixels, except for producing html documents. Can anyone help please.

Bug in MS Word 2013? Not printing last digit of expression in the denominator.

Posted: 29 May 2014 09:40 PM PDT

This is a very annoying bug for a math teacher...

So it appears that the last digit of expressions do not print for seemingly random equation objects in MS Word.

Here's a sample:

And here's what happens when I print:

Here's another sample from another document:

And here's what happens when I print:

Note that the second sample has plenty of other expressions that printed just fine.

Once an equation doesn't print properly, it's always the same equation that prints incorrectly. As in, number 7 above always prints wrong whereas number 4 always seems to print fine.

The problem still occurs with other computers connected to other printers.

Perhaps a coincidence, but I did notice that the error is always the last digit of a trinomial in the denominator. Seems oddly specific...reminder note, the expression for problem 4 fits that criteria and printed fine.

Anyone have any thoughts or insights?

Autosize text to fit a shape in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 29 May 2014 07:14 PM PDT

I have found exactly the opposite of my request available. . . I would like the size of the shape to remain the same while the text size shrinks or grows automatically , but I cannot find this option in Microsoft Word 2010.  Is this even an option anymore?  I already know how to make the shape change based on the text.  Can you help me?

MS Word 2007 won't recognize "indentify" as misspelled

Posted: 29 May 2014 07:09 PM PDT

I'm running Windows 7. And this is a new issue. Up until around yesterday, Word would flag "indentify" as misspelled. But for some reason, it's stopped doing it.  For the most part, it everything else seems to be working correctly in spell check, except for this one instance. (At least, this is the only instance that I've noticed.)

I've already cleared my custom dictionary. I've shut down my computer and restarted it. Neither of which works. I tried live chatting with Microsoft support, but they just want to sell me the premium support something or other.

They suggested it might be a virus issue - My virus software hasn't detected anything

They also suggested maybe some type of file corruption - I don't know how to check for this.

I welcome any assistance on this matter.

Open Word documents with 2007, Excel with 2013 (Windows 7)

Posted: 29 May 2014 06:51 PM PDT

I have both Office 2007 and 2013, and Windows 7.  I really like some of the features of the new Excel 2013, but I can't stand the look of Word 2013.  I would like Word documents (.doc and .docx) to open with Word 2007 by default, but Excel documents to open with Excel 2013 by default.  When I right-click a word document, only Word 2013 is shown (under both "Recommended Programs" and "Other Programs"), not Word 2007.  How can I set the defaults the way I want them?  Any help is much appreciated.

'Comments' shows up every time i open a particular document

Posted: 29 May 2014 05:27 PM PDT

I unchecked the markup option, saved it (also saved as in another place) then reopened it and there it is again.

If i email it to another party would the mark up-shown option be default?

Normally to get rid of the changes i just have to accept it, but I can't even accept the changes- the bubbled comments doesn't show up, just that the changes are underlined and in red.

Header size issue

Posted: 29 May 2014 04:33 PM PDT

I have an issue with a document where, only on the last page of a section, the header is 3-4" high instead of the normal size in the rest of the section. It's doing this in several sections (which are actually chapters). Dragging the header guide to change the size only serves to move the header to the previous page.  I used a template which I modified to include my own style sheet. The issue does not exist in the original template, but I can't figure out for the life of me what I might have done. Am not a Word expert but usually able to navigate my way through sections, headers, etc. without any issues. Any suggestions are appreciated.


VIsio 2013 and Microsoft Word 2013 ... Visio starts out ok .. and once edited ... too BIG for word!! HELP!!

Posted: 29 May 2014 10:35 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to review this question.  I will set this up the best I can.

I start with a template provided by my employer that is a word document that has a visio drawing that requires  editing.  When I open the visio drawing everything seems fine, I edit the sections required and then when I go back to the word document ... the visio drawing is now WAY to big on the page and I am unable to make is smaller.

What am I missing?

I tried to drag the borders of the visio document from within the word document.. no luck

I tried to copy the visio document from within visio and the paste in to word .. no luck

Thanks for any input and the upcoming discussion.

I could not find any CUPS setup tools. What should I be installing?
How am I supposed to find out about this - the man pages are obscure

It will be - I'll get called in to fix it when it breaks. At least I
know how to do that on Windows

 

The error message was printed on the printer, so I will attempt to
type it in verbatim:

The Postscript interpreter in your printer is 2014.108
This printour requires at least version 2015 or greater
To make a Unix/Linux Gecko Browser (eg Netscape or Mozilla) produce
output that will work on any level 2 interpreter change the "Print
Command" to use ghostscript to convert the output down to basic level
2: eg change the print command from
lpr [OPTIONS]
to (all on one line)
gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dMozConvertedToLevel2=true -l lpr [OPTIONS]

it then goes on with similar suggestions for printing to/from a file.

Unfortunately there isn't much of a clue about whete to find the
command which needs changing - is it inside Firefox, or part of CUPS -
or somewhere else? 

No, this is my home printer.
 

But if Linux is ever going to move out of a geek niche into the
mainstream, then I would suggest that is an essential change - the
icons are important.

No hard-fast rule
 

That very much depends on how the binaries are used/compiled. It is
certain that (for example) /bin/login and /bin/passwd need to be SUID
root because of what they are doing, but what about /bin/ping or
/usr/sbin/sendmail?
 

With most Linux, root need only "belong" to group "root" because such
group membership is not relevant. 'mail', 'bin', 'adm' tend to belong
to their own group only. I'm assuming 'mailmaster' owns/runs the MTA,
and that may also be in it's own group.
 

I haven't seen such a recommendation in a long time. Typically, unless you
have some very specific reason to change things, you should keep the ownership
as the distribution installed it. You are quite welcome to make your own
analysis of each binary on your system, and decide what permissions and/or
ownership is appropriate, but have you looked at the size of that task?
 

Were that the case, why the convention to have "system" UIDs below 50 or
100 or similar, and user UIDs above that?
 

Depends on how the binary is written/compiled. Group ownership for a
specific reason isn't that uncommon. And it's not specific to the kernel.
Generally, the user ID tests are written into the binary.
 

Not specific to the bin user, but this may depend on file/device ownership.
 

The 'halt' (and perhaps 'shutdown') user was a mechanism to allow certain
users (who were given the password) the ability to shutdown the system. Look
at the "login shell" in /etc/passwd for those users, and see that logging in
as that user runs that command. Same is true for user 'sync'. In most
installations I've seen, these accounts are disabled (* in password field)
but a root user could log in as that user in order to run that command - and
may or may not save some keystrokes. I've also seen those accounts reset to
have '/bin/true' as the login shell.
 

Distribution dependent.
 

That is in general what is done.
 

Why? What need do you see?
 

Distribution dependent. If your man command uses /var/catman/ the man
binary may be 'SGID man' to be able to write the formatted man pages to
that directory, but that's about it.
 

No.
 
bin-and sbin-directories and most of the files (executables) in them 

OK
 

Oh... newbie. Ever wonder why '.' is not commonly in a user's PATH, and
why it should NEVER be in root's? Let's just say that's the result of
decades of experience at universities. One really funny joke is to put
a file in a "common" directory named 'ls-l' or 'mroe' or similar that
ran the 'rm -Rf' command on the user's home directory. Great fun - lots of
laughter - teaches typing skills.
 

Daemon? Sure - but a lot of that depends on how the binary is written, and
how it is compiled in addition to what the daemon is trying to do.
 

[compton ~]$ grep auth /etc/syslog.conf
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
[compton ~]$

There might be one reason.
 

That's what 'su' and 'sudo' (and similar) are for. Assume John Doe is in
user 'root' and decides to install an "improved" /bin/login. Or to first
chmod certain files in /boot/ and them remove them. Tracks? What tracks?
 

'info su' the wheel requirement is a BSDism.

Thanks to your hint I found it in ...

I am surprised that black is actually better then gray in my environment.

Chances are Microsoft is on a skeleton staff this weekend. Even though a lit
can be done without human intervention, I would think there are a few
warm-blooded critters involved in this.

The important thing is that you are up and running. Now make sure you put
the CDs and PID someplace safe. :-)

Removing Features

Posted: 21 Dec 2006 03:42 PM PST

Hi YashBlade,

The size in Add/Remove Programs will probably not be affected.

Whether you have elected to use or not use certain features, the size normally reflects the MS Office 2003 Suite edition that you
have installed. Basically you're enabling/disabling features of a complete product.

You might want to use Windows Explorer to see if, for example, the Microsoft Office folder in \Program Files\ has less content with
some features/programs removed (although not all of Office goes to that location)

MSDN Enterprise Edition of 2007 does not work on Terminal Server 2

Posted: 20 Dec 2006 10:59 PM PST

Hi Ben,

I'm not quite sure I'm following you regarding having to 'wipe away the product key'.

Was there a beta or trial version of Office 2007 on this computer previously?

Were you prompted to activate the Office 2007 Enterprise Edition when you installed it?

Did you install it from an Office network installation point using any .MSP customization files?

Did you install using a method other than running Setup.exe?

If you use Start=>Run and type
%temp%
can you email me the setup logs that show the error when you're trying to deploy to Terminal Server?

===================

Thanks DL but no avail. I stall can't uninstall or repair and have a non

Bingo! Thanks Bob.

Do you know if there's any documentation/API/etc around this file? It's all

their own custom labels... or other custom info ends up in there...

office 2007 - test: Winword is slow...

Posted: 18 Dec 2006 09:44 AM PST

You can download the free process explorer that was from sysinternals but
that is now bought from Microsoft and do your own measurements.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/systeminformationutilities.mspx

You can do this simply by running various applications and measuring the
"CPU time" needed and compare various versions of programs.You can also
measure the ram needed. With still other programs you can measure disk
activity for a program to load.

CPU time is actually the amount of time needed for the cpu to "think" in
order to launch an application, or do its various functions.

To do this correctly you must do both cold boot measurements and relaunching
of the applications, since after the first time applications usually load
faster.

There is no magic to this.... and only through this method can you really
see the difference with numbers.

One of my recent measurements put to rest the claim that firefox was as fast
as Internet explorer. IE7 needs half the process time to load than firefox,
mostly because parts of it is already preloaded by the OS. That is
logical... and even some mozilla users accept this. But what I also have
seen,
is that if you visit say the same 10 sites, with both browsers, and then
compare the CPU times, firefox shows that it needed more CPU time to
accomplish the same task.

Now as for office2007 you may say.. "it may be slower but it has more
functionality... therefore bloat is justifiable" I disagree. There are ways
to make
applications lean and fast and yet retain functionality.. but this needs
extra work and time OR good planning from the start... and it seems that 4
years from office 2003 to office 2007 was not enough to do this. OR (most
probable) they just didn't care enough to put the effort in it.

I was signing on to tell you the same thing. I got it to work on a different
computer under a different account while traveling for Christmas. I
transferred the download files to my Ipod, wrote down the product key, and
won't install it until I get home. Hopefully that will allow me to move the
files from the Ipod to my computer back at home and install it there with the
key they gave me.

Posted: 22 Jun 2005 08:53 AM PDT

Thanks for the response.

I tried it the way I described it, and it works fine, so it most be
something specific to my timeline. Tasks B and C are composed of many
smaller tasks which are gathered under a summary task, and portions of task C
can't be completed until task B is completed.

Calculation is automatic, and nothing changes if I press the "Calculate"
button.

Aha! I found it. Some of the tasks have a percent complete greater than
0%. If I set it to 0%, they move as I anticipated.

Displays incorrect year in calendar view?

Posted: 22 Jun 2005 07:02 AM PDT

Hi Jackiebp,

I haven't seen this one before but here are a couple of suggestions to check:

1) Are you running SP-1 for MS Project 2003? Check Help > About Microsoft
Project to see.

If you have not installed SP-1 you can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1b04c073-e58f-4f42-b76d-6b565a45cdc3&displaylang=en

2) What is the start date of your Project? Check Project>Project Information.

3) Have you inadvertantly added a task that has a start date in 1987? Sort
the Gantt chart by Start Date to check.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Duration set to actual calendar days?

Posted: 21 Jun 2005 03:23 PM PDT

Thor correctly told you how you can prefix the duration unit to turn it into
elapsed time that ignores the working time calendar. 2 weeks on the wall
calendar is 14ed but 10d. But before you do that, consider a couple of
factors. First and formost - the duration of a task is not the time frame
within which the task needs to be accomplished. If I have to wax 100
widgets, I can do 10 widgets per hour, I have them on hand and could start
any time I want and they are due in 2 weeks, that task is NOT a 2 week
duration task - it is a 10 hour duration task with a deadline 2 weeks away.
The duration is an estimate of the time it will take to complete the task
once it begins and reflects the actual working time expended on it by a
resource. But work ONLY takes place when there is a warm body present to do
it, hence the only time that gives you credit against the required work time
and so counts for managing the project are those minutes during the day
where there is qualified resource physically present and available to work.
Non-working time is completely irrelevant when it comes to managing the
project's work schedule to get it completed on time.

Lost by Global.MPT, and my settings

Mike,

I usually set the Project Start Time as the earliest date of the import file
and 6:00. I did set it to the earliest date and 0:00 and tried 0:00 without
a date, and still have it processing the odd finish date and time, based on
the following day at 8:00 and duration.

I seem to remember (a couple years ago) that the setting isn't in the
calendar, it's another option. Is it a setting on Tools/Options/Schedule?
