| Default file locations in Word 2013 after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Posted: 07 Jun 2014 03:30 PM PDT Hi there I am teaching students the location of files, including templates and am totally confused myself after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The following shows the default file locations through Word Options. The first is under Save and the second under Advanced, File Locations. It is my understanding that all files are saved to OneDrive but the pathnames show as C Drive. Could you please explain if the files are resident on the hard drive as well as OneDrive. Under the following captures the pathname to opening a file is shown - on my other laptop this shows as SkyDrive although it has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 also. Could you please advise the pathnames and location of files on a clean installation of Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 and if there is anywhere where I can read more about this. I'm totally confused so certainly cannot teach students at the present time! It is also important that I can teach the location of templates created in Word 2013. Many thanks. Cheryl Save

| trigger a font shift along with language shift? Posted: 07 Jun 2014 12:53 PM PDT I am wondering if there is any way to trigger a font shift along with a keyboard/language change in Word. I often write documents in English but with regular Greek text, and it is endlessly frustrating that I have to laboriously switch fonts back and forth in addition to changing the keyboard layout/language (in order to use one font for English and a different font for Greek, which is usually necessary for my purposes). The ideal solution would be if alt-shifting from one keyboard to another could also trigger Word to shift from one font to another. Failing that, is there any way to apply document-wide font changes that only apply to text in a specific language (so that I could at least write the entire document, and then change all of the Greek text to a different font with one click) -- perhaps with a macro? |
| Need help setting up default versions of Microsoft Office programs for document types Posted: 07 Jun 2014 11:26 AM PDT I recently bought Microsoft Office 2013 and want to still use Word 2003 as my default version of Word as I still like it better (as it isn't dumbed down.) I have tried everything. I have gone into control panel > programs > default programs and chosen Word (desktop), It doesn't give me the option of unchecking the check box for .doc or any others that are checked. I don't even see Word 2003 (and many other programs listed under the default programs) I have tried changing the default program from the file extension itself by going to control panel > programs > associate a file type.... but that hasn't worked either. I've also tried right clicking on a Word document and using Open With. When I go to Word 2003 location, Word 2013 still opens up. Its like Microsoft is forcing me to use Office 2013 as my default programs. The only other options are uninstall Word 2013 (I will have to look up how to do that too) or opening up Word 2003 every time and searching for the file I want to open. This is frustrating and for all I know this a Windows 8 problem. Any help would be appreciated. |
| How to treat a sentence with no spaces as a normal sentence in Word? Posted: 07 Jun 2014 09:26 AM PDT The title sounds a little weird, but I'm having an issue entering data in a specific format where there can be no spaces. See image below: The bottom result is the one with the issue, I'd like to bring the second line of text up to the first like it appears in the first result. Any help would be appreciated! |
| Posted: 07 Jun 2014 09:21 AM PDT HOW DO I KEEP ELLIPSES CONDENSED? WHEN I USE ELLIPSES IN MY DOCUMENT THERE SEEMS TO BE A SPACE BETWEEN EVERY PERIOD GIVING THE ELLIPSES A SPREAD OUT LOOK. I PREFER TO HAVE THEM TIGHTLY CONDENSED TOGETHER. AT ONE TIME I USED TO TYPE THE THREE DOTS AND THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CONDENSE TIGHT TOGETHER, BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE STAYING SPREAD OUT. CAN SOMEONE HELP? I'VE GONE INTO THE M/O BUTTON, CHOSE OPTIONS, PROOFING, AUTO CORRECT OPTIONS, FOUND THE LIST BELOW WHERE IT SHOWS THE ELLIPSES BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO DEFAULT THEM TO CONDENSE FEATURE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE. MEGAN |
| Posted: 07 Jun 2014 08:37 AM PDT Word 2007. In Options, I set Desktop as document save location. However, Word keeps saving to the C:/ drive. I've changed the setting in Advanced a couple of times, but Word continues to save to the C drive. |
| Styles lose their keyboard shortcuts Posted: 07 Jun 2014 08:34 AM PDT Every once in a while, the custom keyboard shortcuts that I have assigned to my styles get lost, and I have to assign them all over again. I thought this had to do with the PC or Word crashing (normal.dotm not having a chance to close properly), but I think it happens even without a crash having occurred. Can anyone advice what might be going on? Thanks! |
| Posted: 07 Jun 2014 06:56 AM PDT Hi, i am using Office 2010 and windows 7. (I have subscription to Office 365 and will upgrade soon.) I am writing a paper, and the university requires a certain format. Namely, if there are more than one endnotes associated with a sentence, then there should be a range of endnotes given. For example: "John Doe wrote about how to make a steam engines [3-5]." Then the endnotes 3-5 will be bibliographic records referring to John Doe writing about steam engines. Endnote tool in Word easily allow putting "[3][4][5]" but i don't see how to do "[3-5]". Can anyone suggest a solution? This situation comes up frequently while writing papers, so maybe Word can do it. |
| Do not check spelling/grammar: why does it exist? Posted: 07 Jun 2014 03:26 AM PDT My users are asking me why the "Do not check spelling or grammar" attribute exists. It's recently surfaced in several documents where it definitely wasn't welcome. I know how to defeat it, but I'm at a loss to justify its existence. I myself actually do use it at times, sparingly -- for example, to make the checker skip a huge table of biological names -- but I can't imagine that was its original intended purpose. Does anyone know the rationale for allowing it in the first place? TIA, |
| Creating a list of all hyperlinks and display text within a document Posted: 07 Jun 2014 01:24 AM PDT I have a 200-page document that is peppered with hyperlinks. I need to create a list of them for an annex such that it's displaytext: hyperlink. I can do this manually by toggling fields and searching, but that would take an absurd amount of time. I've also searched and found a lot of things close to what I'm looking to do, but not quite. Can someone help me with a small VBA script? I am very far from proficient so my handful of attempts have gotten nowhere--but it seems to me I should be able to set up some sort of 'for each' function to go from hyperlink to hyperlink and copy the link and text then paste that at the end of the document. Thanks~ |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2014 07:50 PM PDT I have a subscription to Office 365. I need a dictionary for spell checking. I downloaded the Meriam Webster app, and it won't run because my browser is unsupported. I assume this is because I do not have IE on my computer. I will never have IE so how do I get around this? |
| How to HotKey Lines into a document Posted: 06 Jun 2014 04:20 PM PDT Intel Core i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 8,0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics MS Help advises me that hotkeys such as 3 hyphens --> ENTER, or 3 hashes --> ENTER will insert horizontal lines into a document. They don't (well, for me anyway). What's wrong? |
| Essay almost completed in Word Online is gone missing - where can it be? Posted: 06 Jun 2014 03:27 PM PDT My nephew edited an essay in WORD online from his live.com mail and it seemed that he was saving it. He emailed it to himself from home at his live.com, signed on on my home computer, and continued to work on it in what appeared to be the full version of Word 2010, (I guess online?) I was not logged on to my ms email. He was saving his file as he continued to write by clicking on the save icon continuously as he worked on it. It seemed that it was being saved. He was working in the full version of Word. I have Word 2010 on my computer and Windows Vista. He evidently did not save it to my computer as when he asked me to email it to him, I found absolutely no record of him having worked in my Word 2010. I search all through various file folders, including MSOffice and temorary files, anywhere I could think of, tried to see if there was something in autorecover of unsaved files - nothing anywhere. I looked for it in my Office online file (first time I have ever used it) and found the early version he had sent me, before he started editing it. I had him look on my computer from his live.com login and he too had only the early version before any further work was done. So where was his work saved? Do we have to have Office 365 to be able to work with Office Online? There is no evidence of his essay, which was just about finished, anywhere. How can it be recovered? What went wrong or what could we have done wrong? Does it make a difference that he was working on my computer and had sent me the file previously? It is an awful lot of work to start all over again. This is my first experience with Office Online. Help! |
