Microsoft Word - Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013

Microsoft Word - Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013

Formatting Issues while working in compatibility mode in Word 2013

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:11 PM PDT

Opened an older document in compatibility mode in Word 2013.  Random spacing issues keep coming up when the document is saved, closed then re-opened later.  Random paragraph spaces will show up in the middle of a paragraph or indents or other spacing will be changed to something else when it looked fine before saving and closing the document. 

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

J

Has the Encarta Dictionary been discontinued?

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:07 PM PDT

It appears that this dictionary is no longer functioning, but I cannot find any solid information on this.  Users in the office are complaining about it, and I don't know what to tell them.

I can see that there are a lot of complaints about this, so I know that it is not exclusive to our office.  I tried the "Fix It" solution, but that didn't change anything.

Can someone please give me some definitive information about this?

Thank you.

I just want to delete some pages from a Word 2013 document

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:03 PM PDT

I am trying to delete some pages from a large(44 pages) Word document.  I guess I'm the first person in the world to ever need to delete a page that isn't blank or at the end of the document.  It's unbelievable that I spent 30 minutes chatting with support and almost an hour on the phone with two different 'pro' support persons and none of them have ever encountered this problem.  How can I just select a page and delete it.  It's not rocket science but seems to be a very difficult thing to do, why is that?

Set Reference to Word Template in VBA

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 03:35 PM PDT

Hi all,

I am looking to find the most efficient/simplest way to reference a newly added Word template object. My code is as follows:

    Dim appWord As Word.Application
    Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    appWord.Visible = True
    appWord.Documents.Add Template:= _
        "H:\Documents\Misc Assignments\Template.dotx" _
        , NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0

I wan to do something similar to:

Set objWord = appWord.Documents.Add

How would I do this with templates as there is already an "="? Can I avoid using ActiveDocument?

Thanks

Print layout shows postage stamp size pages

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 02:31 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2010 Starter Edition on a Win 7 computer.

I'm looking at a multi page document and the Print Layout shows all pages as postage stamp size images, instead of a single page where I can scroll down (or up) to see the remaining pages.

The Draft Layout displays the pages normally, but images I pasted using IRFANVIEW are missing.

How can I change the Print Layout display?   Can images be displayed when the Draft Layout is used?

Text boxes disappear in Office 2013 after saving to a new format

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 01:11 PM PDT

Hi, I created a document in Word 2007. It included images, text boxes, and automatic links. It was opened in Word 2013, and a copy of it was saved. When the copy was saved, Word asked if the user wanted to save it in a new format, and once it was saved, the text boxes all disappeared. They weren't simply hidden behind the image, because I tried deleting the image that they were in front of. They were just gone. However, by opening the saved copy in Word 2007, the text boxes appeared again. Does anybody have any idea why this would happen, and how to prevent it from happening other than checking of the checkbox to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word? I don't want to rely on my users to remember to check that box for these certain documents.

Send an Word document as attachment - have cursor in to-box

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:46 PM PDT

When I'm looking at a Word document I often want to forward it on to a colleague. In Word 2013 I would click on "forward as an attachment". In the window that opens, the cursor is in the message box instead of in the "To:" box.
A minor irritation but it's very frustrating that a simple process has been made more complicated.
Any help?

WORD 2010 Multiple DOcs open keeps reverting to doc I just copied text from - changes on its own

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I have a user, with multiple documents open in a dual-monitor environment.  He is working in Doc A, he then chooses Doc B, copies or cuts some text, goes back to Doc A, pastes it in.  Between 5 and 10 seconds later,  Word will revert to Doc B and make that one active.  What is awful is that the user, if he hasn't noticed this change, is typing into the wrong document!  I saw this with my own eye or else I would have definitely thought user error.  Has anyone had this experience?  Thank you.

problem with opening documents

     I have Microsoft Office 2003 and 2013 on my Windows 7 computer..  I have Always been able to double click a Word Document and it opened in 2013 version... same with Excel... would open in 2013 version.   IF I right clicked the document, I could choose to open with 2003 version and it would open...

   suddenly, I can no longer do this... it does not give me an error message .. it just will not open the document. 

   I have a program on the computer also called OpenOffice which is compatible to Microsoft Office and will open word docs and excel files...IF I right click my document and choose to open in OpenOffice, it opens right up as read only.. 

  I can open Microsoft Word Or Excel and then click File/Open and then go to the document and click to open and it opens fine... WHY is it NOT opening anymore when I double click it or right click and choose 2003 version???

Leave a non-printable note in Word

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:52 AM PDT

Hello people of the forum!

I am somewhat curious of the idea to leave a note to someone in a Word document.

This I would utilize in specific instructions on printing, as the file might be distributed between people.

Therefore, it also has to be quite visible when someone opens the document.

However, it should under no circumstances be printed out with the rest of the document, like comments.

I did try to move a textbox outside of the paper like in PowerPoint, but it became completely transparent.

Any good ideas?

Create a macro that searches for a case sensitive word and then changes the case for every word following it until another key character is found.

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 08:07 AM PDT

Hi All,

I would like to create a macro that will search the contents of a file to change the case of all words that fall between two sets of quotes following a keyword that is case sensitive.

 

First example: Here is my current test:

Label "THIS IS A TEST"

I would like search for the case sensitive literal "Label "" (Label-space-quote) and make sure that every word encased in the quotes retain the only first letter of each as a capital letter. The output should be:

                Label "This Is A Test"

 

 Second Example:

                Label "This is not a Test"

I would like search for the case sensitive literal "LABEL "" (LABEL-space-quote) and make sure that every word from the first quote to the second quote in the string is all capitalized. The output should be:

                LABEL "THIS IS NOT A TEST"  

Any help you can provide would be great!!!

Thanks in advance,


Wayne

Forms in MS Word 2010

Numbered paragraph styles synchronized with Heading X styles

Posted: 18 Jun 2014 01:17 AM PDT

Hallo everybody.

I have a problem creating outline numbered lists bound to the corresponding Heading X styles. In Word 2010, I need to create a group of styles (let us name them HL1, HL2, ... HL9). These styles are intended for numbering paragraphs in multi-level list. At that, the styles should not have outline level. The main requirement is that the styles should comply with the corresponding styles of outline-leveled headings (i.e., Heading 1, Heading 2, ... Heading 9).

An example of a target block of paragraphs is listed below (the corresponding style name is shown in brackets at the beginning of each paragraph):

1 (Heading 1) text of heading of level 1
1.1 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
1.2 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
1.3 (Heading 2) text of heading of level 2
1.3.1 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph
1.3.2 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph
2 (Heading 1) text of heading of level 1
2.1 (HL2) text of numbered paragraph
2.2 (Heading 2) text of heading of level 2
2.2.1 (HL3) text of numbered paragraph

As it shown in the example, the HL2 style is synchronized in numbering with Heading 1, the HL3 style is synchronized with Heading 2 and so on. At that, the style of equal "position", for example, HL2 and Heading 2 have the same numbering flow. Such fragments of text are typical in legal documents or in description of requirements.

To implement such styles, I tried several approaches:
1. I created style HL1 on the base of style Heading 1, style HL2 - on the base of Heading 2, etc. The created styles do not suit me because I cannot change number format in the styles (via Format>Numbering...), so the number format remains inherited from the corresponding Heading n style, which is not admissible for numbering body paragraphs.
2. I created paragraph styles HL1, HL2, ... HL9. Then I created multi-level list with references to the corresponding HLn style on the list levels. In the result, the HLn do synchronize between each other, but they do not synchronize with the corresponding parent Heading n styles.

I need a solution (detailed instruction) that I would be able to reproduce both manually and then in VBA code. Is it feasible?

Regards, Yuri.

resource sheet - max unit column's and calculation of duration Microsoft Project

resource sheet - max unit column's and calculation of duration Microsoft Project

resource sheet - max unit column's and calculation of duration

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 12:18 AM PDT

Thanks for the immediate answer and feedback.

Yes agreed, it does change the max units for this resources assignment for
all activities, but it would be of great help if you could
confirm whether the change in max units will have impact on the finish date,
since the duration is same , and percentage allocation varies.,
we feel the start and end dates shoud get re-calculated.

example ....


Activity - Design
duration - 2 days with 100% allocation of 8 work hours
start date - 20th July working day
finish date - 22 July working day
Resource assigement done


Now changing the Max units for the resource to less than 100 units will it
have impact on finish date ?

in case u need any further details, we can provide the same for our
understanding.

Thanks and regards

Critical path does not trace to beginning of project

Posted: 19 Jul 2005 06:38 PM PDT

Hi,

When a task on the critical path gets a constraint, and hence is postponed,
the preceeding tasks now have slack (since they can now be postponed) and
thus are no longer critical.

Try Tools/Options.../Schedule tab and Durations in entered in minutes. If
you have small durations, this should show the Duration in minutes. if it
stll zero, you have other problems.

We need to discover whether your project is at fault, whether it is Project
at fault, or whether it's your PC. Does the symptom occur with other
projects on this PC? Does it occur with this project on other PCs? Does it
occur with other projects on other PCs?

Export Time Phased Data

Cheryl,
Sorry if this is duplicate post - I had a power outage last night and it
messed up my clock.

Unfortunately the "Analyze" utility exports data by assignment.
Therefore, unassigned task data is not exported. There are two choices.
The easiest is to temporarily assign a dummy resource to "unassigned"
tasks and then use the utility, or use an advanced feature of Project,
namely VBA, and create a custom macro to export the exact data you need.
I prefer the latter because it gives me total flexibility, but then, not
everybody knows how or wants to use VBA.

Text fields are another matter. They are not timescaled so the utility
will not work for them. Again you have two choices. One simple method is
a cut and paste from Project to Excel. The second is to use an export
map to export the static (i.e. non-timescaled) data from Project to
Excel. Once in Excel the timescaled and static data can be combined as
desired.

Hope this helps.

Microsoft Word - Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Microsoft Word - Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 05:39 PM PDT

Is it possible to change the default format in the drop down box of the "Save As" dialog when using "Save As", as opposed to just "Save"? Word is clever enough to detect the kind of document it is trying to "Save As" and chooses the appropriate type. However, I want to force Word to always "save as" a specific format. Again, this is for an existing document that one would copy using the "Save As" command.

Thank you

word 2013 saving autorecover file is very slow

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 04:44 PM PDT

Hi,

Not so much a problem as a solution.  I had been working with a large document for a long time and noticed that the process of AutoSaving the recovery file was starting to takes minutes to complete, and was starting to interfere with document editing. 

Some web research reminded me of problems with temp file clutter and so I ran the Windows disk cleanup utility, which found and removed 6GB of clutter, including temp file directories.  Autosave is now pretty much instantaneous. 

The reason why this became a problem for me is that the computer is only a year or so old, running Windows 8 (upgraded to 8.1 and then Update1) and so I didn't think that a. it had been running for long enough to generate such clutter and b. that the clean-up would not be running automatically.   Still, easy to fix if that's the problem.

How can I add a "textless" entry to the Navigation Pane?

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 04:38 PM PDT

I'm writing a book, and I want to have an entry in the Navigation Pane for the primary organizational elements of the book. I'm using styles, of course, so this generally happens automatically, but I'd also like to have an entry in the Navigation Pane for the book's dedication page. I want the entry to say "Dedication", but there will be no text in the book with this word in it. I considered using white text on a white background so it'd be invisible, but I'm concerned that that will lead to problems when the book is published in various digital formats; I don't want searches for the text "dedication" to match anything, nor do I want the word "dedication" to show up if a reader sets the background color to something other than white.

What I'm essentially looking for is a way to bookmark the dedication page and to give the bookmark a name that will show up in the Navigation Pane. Is there a way to achieve this effect?

Thanks.

MS Word and the Navigation tab for writing scenes?

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 02:30 PM PDT

I've had an issue with MS Word for years.  I've never purchased it because of this issue, and I know many writers such as myself who are in the same position.

I write in scenes, and I really want to use the Naviation panel of Word 2013. I select my heading styles and highlight the scene titles and I see a nice 'tree' outline visual in the Navigation panel for managing my book.

However, when one reads or prints the final word document, you don't want to see the scene titles - they are only for a writer to organize his structure. Obviously, this needs to be hidden. When I change the style's font - to make it "hidden" as someone suggested, stupidly the scene title in the navigation panel also becomes hidden as well. 

I want to smash my head against the wall.  How could such a all-encompassing writing tool be so absolutely useless when it comes to writing novels in scenes?

Is there a REAL solution to this?  Or does Microsoft put up a middle finger to all of us novel writers, and we simple can't have a book navigation capabilities without having our scene titles scattered across our final book output?

Table borders shift randomly

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 01:45 PM PDT

Hello!  I frequently use tables within my Word documents.  (I use Word 2010.)  Recently I started having a strange problem.  The borders don't line up on the right hand side of the table.  They are staggered from cell to cell.  I manually fix them so they are all lined up again, save the document, reopen the document and the borders go right back to being staggered.  I can't figure out why this is happening when it has never happened before.  It doesn't just happen within one document either.  EVERY document that I use tables in is now doing this.  I'm guessing that I accidentally changed a setting somewhere, but I can't figure out for the life of me what it is.  I'd really appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.  Thanks!

Spurious vertical lines in tables

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 01:02 PM PDT

I get, from time to time, vertical lines in table columns. In one case now, the line is 1/2 inch from the left table border, and goes down, breaks up, and then continues an inch later and continues to the bottom of the table. These lines can occur in other pages too, in the same table.

I can usually get rid of them by doing I don't know what, but now, I am stuck, in spite of saving and opening the file again.

I do not know what these vertical lies are, how/why they appear. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Table in Mail Merge

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 10:57 AM PDT

I am doing a mail merge from Excel 2007 to Word 2007. My Word doc has a table in it that looks like this:

                     Merge Field 1                 Merge Field 2                 Merge Field 3                  Merge Field 4

Program 1

Program 2

Program 3

Program 4

My Excel source is such that not every employee will have participated in every program, however, when they do participate in a program, every merge field will be filled in. For example, John Smith participated in Programs 1, 2, and 4. All four merge fields for these three programs will be filled in. I would like the merge to have a condition IF statements in it to say something to the effect of:

IF Merge Field 1 is blank (which will only happen if they did not participate in the program), then delete that row in my table.

So in the example, John Smith's table would only have 3 rows.

Is there a way to accomplish this without using VBA? Thanks for any and all help.

I design the pages in full letter size then print 2 pages per sheet. Again, I have done this so many times before without issue. NOW, when I print it gives 1 3/4" margin at the bottom only. All other margins appear .5. The print preview doesn't show the margin change....

Stop MS Word Grammar Check from making ridiculous suggestions

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:24 AM PDT

Example

Staff is its own pleural

ie

They are my Staff

or

this is a member of my Staff

there is no such word as 'Staffs' in this context the only time that plural applies is to a physical length of wood like Robin Hood and Little John used to use in Merrie old England a very old english idiom.

when I write a document which states "Staff who receive" I get a little wobbly green line under the phrase and when I right click I get the options

1. "Staffs who receive"

2. "Staff who receives"

Option 1 cannot be grammatically correct under any circumstances it has to be staffs which receive or staffs that receive as in "the quarter staffs that (or which) recieve a great deal of punishment during their use".

I find this is happening with a lot of phrases in Microsoft Word and find that this kind of grammatical nonsense is creeping into documents produced by persons who speak english as a second language (and by persons who just couldn't be bothered to learn to spell or learn their english at school). This often corrupts the meaning intended by the person writing the document.

When I am writing a document I find it highly irritating seing these little green wobblys under phrases I know are correct

Is there any way of stopping these wierd anomalies in the grammar checker without actually switching the facility off?

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:49 AM PDT

I always have strange questions. I want to find the word 'quoted' when it is not paired with 'not'. For example a way to put that in Find so that the phrase: 

We are quoted as saying... is brought up, but NOT the phrase:

She is not quoted directly...

**These are just examples, not necessarily what I really want to find.**

I've tried to decipher the wildcards, or regular expressions, but that stuff is all nonsense to me and I can't figure if what I want is possible. Any help or ideas?

Saving Word file in 2007 format

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:46 AM PDT

I am working in Microsoft 2013, on Windows 7 Professional. 

I need to save a basic word document in Word 2007 format for the government in order for my proposal to be accepted. 

When saving, I am only given the option to save in 1997-2003 formats. 

How can I save in 2007 to be sure the government will be able to open the file correctly?

Default tab in Word - used to be the Home menu, now File

"Show bookmarks" doesn't display gray square brackets

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 06:05 PM PDT

I know that gray square brackets can be displayed for bookmarks (cross-references).

 

"Show bookmarks" under "Show document content" on Advanced dialogue is clicked. There are many cross-references in the document, but somehow those square brackets don't show up.

 

I don't think this matters, but "Always" for "Field shading" under "Show document content" on Advanced dialogue is selected.

 

Is there anything else I have to click.

 

I use MS Word 2010, but I've tried this with MS Word 2007 at home as well, but no luck.

A specific example of one file. Most of those I run into are the source

<user>#mc

at which point you get an win explorer (or norton commander for those
who know) type screen) use your cursor keys to switch to the directory
of the file (tab to change from left to right panes) enter to enter (or
exit with the /.. file) a directory and then press enter on the file
when you get there. You can view any file with F3 (the single key not

How to edit initrd.img in FC5

Posted: 24 Jun 2006 01:27 AM PDT

Thanks ! that worked ..
but one thing, that took lot of my time -
cpio by default compresses files into an 'old binary format'
however initrd images nedded by fc5 kernels are compresses using the
'newc' format

that means you can incompresses the initrd , modify it, then
recompress,
but if you do not explicitly mention the 'newc' format duing
compression , the kernel will hang after loading itself and not budge
any further.---

(no! no! ) find | cpio --create > /boot/initrd_new.img (Wont ! work !)
find | cpio --create --format=newc > /boot/initrd_new.img (Will work
!)

Sticky bit to allow access permission?

1. It's not the sticky bit (which shows up as a 't' or 'T' in the

man page.

2. The kernel ignores SUID (and SGID) on shell scripts - it's a massive
security problem.

3. Use 'sudo' to run the 'adduser' or 'useradd' command. 'man sudo'
 

Well, that certainly won't do much. Perhaps you should start with the

'hda' is the first fixed HD, on which my OS/2 system sits, 'hdb' is the
second fixed HD holding the newly installed SciLinux, and 'hdd' is the
old HD now put in as a removable disk. What puzzles me is that before
being supplanted by the bigger new disk, 'hdd' had the same three parti-
tions as the new 'hdb'. Yet only 'hdd1', which is the '/boot' partition,
is as expected, and readable. There was one difference between 'hdd' and
'hdb': in 'hdd' the sequence was /boot, /, swap, rather than the sequence
in 'hdb' of /boot, swap, /. I wonder if that could be a contributing
factor.

You don't show your /etc/modules.conf and your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

Shouldn't that be dependant on you soundcard? (crystal beach something?
- actual card involved would help along with those two files mentioned
by me above.) You might also do a (re)readthrough of the ALSA-sound
