Microsoft Word - Replacing words in document after a dictionary in Excel Worksheet

Microsoft Word - Replacing words in document after a dictionary in Excel Worksheet

Replacing words in document after a dictionary in Excel Worksheet

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 02:28 PM PDT

There is a dictionary in Excel in adjacent columns (say A1:B10). The values in A-column are to be replaced according to corresponding values in B-column within a document DocName. Occurences can be mulplied, whole words only. How to devise a macro, preferably in Excel app to do it? Probably a decoct like this, the problem staying, however, in the concordance of slightly different forms of Find and Replace in both apps.

. . .

Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(DocName)

Set oRng = wdDoc.Range

For I = 1 To 10

  s1 = Cells(I, 1).Value

  s2 = Cells(I, 2).Value

  With oRNG.Find

    .Text = s1

    .Replacement.Text = s2

    .Forward = True

    .Wrap = wdFindContinue

    .Format = False

    .MatchCase = False

    .MatchWholeWord = True

    .MatchWildcards = False

    .MatchSoundsLike = False

    .MatchAllWordForms = False

  End With

  oRng.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

Next I

. . .

I'll be grateful for any hint how to conjure

Mouse icon problem

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 02:21 PM PDT

When I go into Word (2013) my mouse pointer continuously flickers with the busy symbol.  I can create documents and do all Word functions but the busy symbol is the only symbol my mouse pointer shows.  this has only started in the past couple of weeks, and only occurs in Word.

Word Field Codes IF is not working as expected?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 02:03 PM PDT

Hello,

I am trying to programmatically generate a customized footer to a .rtf like this using C#

My source code uses the { IF } field code to check if the current section is 2 and on, then show "Exhibit-A" for section 2, show "Exhibit-B" for section 3 and so on.

The resulting footer looks like this

It appears that the { IF {SECTION} = 2 { Exhibit-A } { XYZ } } statement is not evaluating or evaluates to False regardless.  I tried all combinations I could think of. Instead of 2, I tried { IF {SECTION}={=1+1}} with Refresh, without Refresh, or various double quotes, single quote, no quote, {}, it seems the {IF} won't work in code, I tried that in Word 2007 (manually) and it worked.  What am I not doing right? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Shirley

When I create a style that has an 11 point font, why does it change to 12 point font when I apply the style?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 12:28 PM PDT

Here are details about the style I created:

Name: Table Text

Style Type: Paragraph

Style Based on: Normal

Style for the following paragraph: Table Text

Formatting: Arial, 11 pt, Automatic

Font: (Default) Arial, Right: 0.5", Line spacing: single, Space Before: 3 pt, After: 3 pt, Style: Quick Style, Based on: Normal; Formatting: Arial (Body) 11 pt, Automatic.

Normal Font: (Default) +Body, Left, Line Spacing: Multiple 1.14 li, Space After: 10 pt, Widow/Orphan control, Style: Quick Style

I am using Office Classic 2 for Fonts.  This is the Arial font.  I don't know why, in the description of the Normal font, it says +Body.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on this.

Thank you!

Cross-References Won't Update

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 12:17 PM PDT

I am using Insert > Cross-references and selecting Heading as the Reference Type to create a cross-reference to an existing numbered section header. I use this several places in my document. Over the course of writing the document, the text may change in the numbered section header. When I update my references, either by right-clicking on the cross-reference and selecting Update Field or by doing a [Ctr] + [A] and then pressing [F9], the cross-references are not updated with the changed text. Aren't they supposed to?

If I create a bookmark for that section header and then create a cross-reference to that bookmark, the cross-references update properly if the heading text changes. Am I supposed to use this method for all my cross-references? Is so, why is there an option available to let me do it the first way I tried?

Word 2013 stopped printing the current page, it only prints page 1

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 11:47 AM PDT

For 2 users, Word 2013 will no longer print the correct current page when asked to do so.  There is no problem with the document(s) involved as they will print the correct current page on another user.  The issue is somehow with the user's settings/profile in Word.  If you highlight a selection, it will print that correctly, except without the headers and footers.  If you specify the section and page numbers, that also works (and the headers and footers come out OK).  I have deleted all the normal.dotm files from the computer and have deleted the Word Data key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER|SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word.  The printer drivers are not at issue because the document prints for other users, with the same print drivers on the print server with no issues.  I would imagine that creating an entire new logon profile for the user, would solve the issue, but I would prefer not to go to that extreme, unless absolutely necessary.  I have also heard that the problem tends to reoccur, so hopefully there is an easier fix. 

One more question, which is about Microsoft Support.  Is there really no support for an organization with a 250 user MAK license? 

Word 2013 Doesn't Retain Style/Formatting When Converted To PDF

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 11:28 AM PDT

I've recently switched from Word 2007 to 2013 with the purchase of my Surface Pro 3. I write particular documents using a Style that I've created which includes a different margin (2.5" from the edge of the left page and 3" from the edge of the right page). The rest of the document is normal paragraphs from left to right margin. The font for the entire document is Courier New - there are no images, no graphs, etc. Just font.

When I Export or Save As a PDF, for some reason the Styled formatting does not retain in the PDF. It's as if Word 2013 allows for an extra character or two per line (I've noticed there's a difference between my 2007 and 2013 documents), but the PDF can't pick up on that. I know that sounds crazy, but that's what's happening. For example: if there is a Syle that includes 3 lines of text, in the PDF it will sometimes come out as 4 lines because a word(s) will be shifted down to the next line, Screws up an entire 110 page document.

Another thing I've noticed is that the margins on the bottom of the PDF sometimes appear to be larger. I am using a very basic document. I'm using 1" margins, 12pt Courier font, exact line spacing and everything is set to "keep lines together/keep with next" though I've tried it without those parameters as well to see if that at all contributed to the problem - it didn't. I've even tried opening the PDF in Word and that didn't help either.

I would really love if someone could help me figure this out as I've tried everything! All my settings are set to the same as what I used in 2007, I've tried with the 'Print to PDF' option, I've retyped 3-5 pages out again in blank documents, adding the Style after - nothing works. The PDF always comes out wrong. I've even tried my luck with the online chat with the Office team which was more frustrating than anything. I'd greatly appreciate it!

How can I copy the text of a field?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 09:36 AM PDT

My document has a field that looks like this:

{ REF _Ref361389627 \# "'Item '0" \r \h }

The text it produces is "Item 5". I want to copy the text of this field, but when I highlight it (or even the entire line containing it) and copy it, then paste it elsewhere (a different application), instead of "{ REF _Ref361389627 \# "'Item '0" \r \h }" being pasted, I get "Item 5".

How can I copy the text of a field so I can paste it elsewhere?

Thanks.

Auto field update does not work after copying a document

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 09:21 AM PDT

I have created a document in Word 2003 that contains FIELD auto update language in the Visual Basic Editor.  This command works on my machine, but when I copy this document to another PC the FIELDS do not auto update when the document is opened.  I can manually update the field (right click on the field / UPDATE FIELD).  I have tried to delete and re-enter the VBE language but it does  not work.  The only difference seems to be that WORD on the second PC is from an Office Basic package and Word on the original PC is from Office Pro version.  All versions are 2003.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance...

Changing the default Save As location (Documents folder)

Problem with keying in specific lengths to adjust size of images/shapes

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:31 AM PDT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV8DvGPsutM&feature=youtu.be

This video demonstrates the issue I'm facing.

Basically, I am trying to set specific dimensions for that grey rectangular frame but even when I key in the dimensions at the top right hand corner press enter or play around with the up/down arrows in each field, the size of the object does not change and I have to resort to dragging the 8 dots along the perimeter of the object to change the size of the object which doesn't help me as its hard to use that feature to help me resize that frame to the dimensions i desire.

Is this a bug? What can I do to make sure the object can be resized using the fields at the top right hand corner of the screen?

Thanks for the help.

Facing Maximization Problem in Word 2013

'Hidden' Macro - annoying pop-up!

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 03:06 AM PDT

I have a Word 2013 document that, when it opens, there is a small but annoying pop-up that asks for a input. If I press 'cancel' it goes away and everything is fine. But I would prefer that it never opened in the first place.

So, I opened Macro Manager and there are no macros in Normal.dot, Global or in the specific Word document.

I then looked for AutoOpen and AutoExec and can find nothing. However, if I start Word with a /m on the command line, I do not get the pop up - but I still cannot find the source as I would prefer to get rid of the problem rather than just preventing it operating.

So, i opened the document (cancelled the pop-up), selected all the text. Closed Word and reopened it, created a new document, pasted back in the text and saved it as a rtf.

I then closed and opened Word and opened the new rtf document. There was no pop-up. But I need this document as a Word template - so I saved it as a Word template, closed and reopened and the pop-up is back again! Aaaargh!

I have deleted my normal.dot several times and am utterly stumped.

I opened VBE when the document was open and, again, there is nothing that looks like a pop-up, a macro, a module or a function.

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

Just tried it all over again on a different W7 laptop with Word 2010. I opened an rtf version and there was no pop-up.

When I saved it as a template and reopened it, the pop-up reappeared!

This is driving me mad! I just don't understand it.

How to Merge a Chinese-Only Doc and Its Translated English-Only Doc into A Chinese-English Bilingual Paragraph-by-Paragraph Doc

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 11:38 PM PDT

I translated a source document in Chinese into a target English document with a CAT (computer-aided translation) tool OmegaT. So, there are two documents, one is a Chinese document, and the other is an English document with the same structure, format, etc. They are basically the same except they are in different languages.

Now I want to merge the two documents into a single document, in which Chinese and its translation go paragraph-by-paragraph. And for content in a cell of table, it is the same: Chinese comes first with English translation following it.

Here is an example: https://docs.zoho.com/file/mb9ur1aaa16a336b44f5b8785007aaaeaabc4

Is there any way to do it with a macro or something else other than copy and paste? Any response will be much appreciated. This problem has been existing for two years.

Center a mail to address in word 2013

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 08:51 PM PDT

Just curious about addressing envelopes in word.  I know that in Word 2007 you could create a text box then right click and in the window that opened up you could uncheck wrap text and check to change the size of the text box as you type.  This was a nice feature but I can't find a way to do that in Word 2013.  I know it's not a big deal but aesthetically I think envelopes look more businesslike when the mail to address always stays centered on the envelope.  Anybody got any hints on how to do this in Word 2013.  All advice appreciated.  Thanks

Envelopes won't print with Office 365

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 08:05 PM PDT

I am using Windows 8.1, 64 bit with Office 365 home.  Previously, with office 2013, had no problems printing envelopes.  Now even though the settings are right for #10 envelope with default fonts and colors, when I print no ink goes onto the envelope.  The printer prints everything else nicely.  I tried a different envelope printing program which works  well.  What settings may have changed?  How do I fix it? 

What I do.  I start a new document with addressees name, go to mailings, envelopes, fill in return address if not using the default, check the option setting so Legal size envelope, # 10 is selected, press print.  The printer sounds as if something is happening.  The envelope is expelled in the same manner it did when it printed but now has no ink on it. Prior to this problem I used Word 2013 and had set it to a custom print.  I may have changed to Office 365 before using the custom print. I have turned my printer off and on and rebooted my computer.  The printer is a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901. The firmware is the latest available.

Microsoft Word 2013 not saving document

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 07:45 PM PDT

Recently, when working on a word document, I have tried to save, but the progress bar at the bottom does not fill up (and therefore, I am afraid of closing the document for fear it has not actually saved). Occasionally, it will show a task manager, stating it is trying to save the recovery of the file I'm trying to save; I hit the X to make it go away, as I'm trying to save the document itself, so the auto-recovery is not needed.

Any thoughts?

Also: this document is heavy with modified headers and footers, so I would really not like to close the document and risk losing hours of work.

Is there someway I can create a new font using these characters?

New Office (2007) menus -- can we change them back to exactly CLASSIC menus?

Posted: 05 Feb 2007 11:41 AM PST

There are a lot of things wrong with the menus & toolbars UI for Office.
If you are interested in reading the background on the Ribbon UI, see
http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/10/09/58. It's an index to the blog posts
of the PM in charge of the Ribbon UI. His blog gives a lot of the
background of the Ribbon and talks a lot about its design. It makes for
quite some interesting reading.
 
All the keyboard shortcuts from 2003 (including the menu shortcuts)
should work without a problem. They are not displayed, but they lead to
the same functionality.
 
Back in beta 1, the Office apps were crashing all the time. It's quite
hard to learn a new UI when you have a crash every few minutes then file
a bug for it, etc.
 
Read the reasoning behind the Ribbon UI. In short, MS designed a new UI
because they didn't know anymore how to put all the new 2007 features in
a reasonable way into the old one.
BTW, you can create a resemblance of the old UI on the Ribbon. You'd
have to use RibbonX for it (the new customization model), it will take
quite a bit to do it and it won't look exactly like 2003, but it can be
done.

How to uninstall Microsoft Office Activation Assistant (2007)?

Posted: 03 Feb 2007 09:19 AM PST

Thanks for replying... I can't understand how non-technical people deal with
all this. For example the pre-installed trial version of Symantec Security
Suite is exactly like the mob; when I tried to uninstall it, it told me I
shouln't, I should pay up, when I insisted it told me it wouldn't protect me,
I'd be unsafe, and suggested I not use the internet at all if I continue.
Vista is supposed to be the most secure Windows, yet I have this preinstalled
bully making me feel like it's going to punish me if I don't pay up. Heck
maybe it has, by making my system unstable? I wouldn't be surprised.

The other crazy thing is that the manufacturer not only loaded up tons of,
obviously paid for, third party software but also it's own crapware that is
eating up gobs of RAM, slowing everything down and making Vista completly
unreliable (although I can't tell if it's Vista, third party/OEM software or
drivers). I'm giving up... I'd have to spend many more days trying to
cleanup manually all that was pre-loaded, messing with the registry, startup,
cleaning system files. Since I already paid for Vista Premium with my new
notebook, I'm going to try and track down a full copy of Vista Premium retail
so I can borrow it, make a copy, and install it on the reformatted HD using
the key that was supplied with my notebook... I hope that works! If not, I'm
returning it... this whole experience has really left a bad taste in my mouth.

However, I'll point out that Microsoft continues to write bad software,
including the Office team that installs by integrating itself into the OS,
droping files all over the system and leaving 1001 entries in the registry
(it should install itself in it's own discreet directory and stay there, and
uninstall clean); and writing programs like the Activation Assitant that will
not uninstall itself... it's a sad state of affairs.

Office 2007 beta uninstall

Posted: 03 Feb 2007 02:28 AM PST

There isn't a tool for uninstalling the Office 2007 betas as there were a number of them going on (including the sister product, MS
Expression web) at the same time and there is a large number of possible combinations that could be in play.

When the beta isn't removed through normal procedures, add-remove programs, it's often because the installation was already broken.
If you review the Knowledge Base articles for steps to remove a broken 'regular' Office installation manually they're not far
different. Broken installations come from adding other software or add-ins over time or using utilities such as computer 'speedup'
or 'registry cleaner' ones that are 'helping'.

There is a risk to relying on time limited beta software, although it is easy to get used to using it and forgetting it's 'test
software'.

For many people the basic steps in the MSKB article, removing all prior betas and related add-ins, from Add/Remove Programs in the
Windows control panel, do work to have a clean environment to install the release version of MS Office 2007. It is the quality of
operation that is one of the prime reasons for starting clean with release software rather than focusing on 'upgrading' a beta/test
software.

Since this is the Office installation topic, would you kindly post the answer
here? This is not a 'misc' type of issue, but a show-stopper for us too.
We're glad to see that so many others want this Office 2007 installer defect
fixed so that hopefully Microsoft will either do that, or provide an
automated clean-up tool to deal with the problem.

The extremely time-consuming manual steps described in the KB's about this
problem are ridiculous. The people with the info to write the steps into a KB
should have incorporated the clean-up in the Office 2007 RTM installer, or
provided an Office 2007 beta wipe-down tool to make sure that Microsoft's
best and brightest customers are not angered by this kind of sloppiness.
Business is being lost as we and our customers wait for a reasonable
solution. The competition for a botched Office 2007 release is to do nothing
but stand on Office 2003.

If we were flying in Microsoft-designed aircraft, with such poor quality control, we would probably all be dead. >>

Outlook did not install with the Standard Office suite 2007.

That should be answered by someone with more knowledge than me.... but:

I do know that all your Outlook stuff is kept in a file that ends with a
..PST designation. So if you do a search (*.PST) you should find it. It's
probably called outlook.pst but do a wildcard search incase it's something
else. It will be PST though.

That contains everything: e-mails, contacts, folders etc. It'll probably be
quite large (mine is 194 megs!)

Save a copy of it somewhere before you delete your stuff, as well as a note
of what folder it was in, because chances are that it will be in the same
folder in the new installation. You would then only have to copy that file
back into the new folder.

Unable to remove beta version of Office 2007

Posted: 02 Feb 2007 09:07 AM PST

There were hundreds of thousands of people who used the Beta. A backup is
always helpful before you install something onto an OS like Beta office.
That MSKB will get the Beta out. Backup the reg keys by exporting each one,
than when you have Beta Office out and Office 2007 if that's what you want
to install in, restore the 4th reg subkey in the MSKB as I've said by
clicking on the reg export and your Add/Remove will be back to normal.

Installation Stalls out

Posted: 02 Feb 2007 07:00 AM PST

I received this for my new laptop through my office's home use program. I
purchased the license for about $20. All I need is to be able to create, read
and edit word, excel, and power point documents, so I saw no need to pay out
the extra cash for the more up to date software.

In anticipation of further questions, my system does meet the minimum
requirements, but has a tendency to have this same problem with standard
updates, downloads and installations (Java plug ins, Windows Updates,
Security Updates, Norton/Symantec Updates, Adobe Acrobat Reader), so I think
the problem has more to do with my configuration than faulty software and
disks.

2007 Spell Check Not working

I just did. If I log out and log in as any other user the spell check works
fine. It's only when I'm logged in as myself that there is a problem. I was
logged in as myself when I installed the software.

Nah.....that is not correct.. you can have 256 at any resolution on XP. I
must say that you indeed were right!
With 256 colors the Office 2007 interface reverts to a classic like
appearance.

For those who are reading this thread and want to do the same, you can
download QuickRes plus from greenparrots (free edition) that lets you go to
256 colors on XP

I don't agree. Incremental backups can save you a lot of work. _Your_ data
is what is most important to _you_. You can always reinstall the OS if
necessary, but you can't recreate your "birthday party pictures." Your
excuse about it "being hard" may land you in hot water if something goes
wrong with your install (or with your hardware- hard disks are known to
fail, you know). You should assess what you have on backup, and what you
need to make that set complete. Otherwise, be prepared to "kiss it

Note: comment inline.

You seem to know what you are doing, but I won't be the one to guarantee
that nothing will go wrong with your install. Shit happens. Humans make

Modem Problem with Suse Version 10.1

Please don't top post. I have moved your response to follow the format
adopted by this newsgroup.

I noticed after I posted that you are using a Intel-537EP. There is a
separate source/driver for that chipset. My links refer to Intel-536EP,
and that is the wrong driver. It appears version 2.7.95.0 is the latest
driver for the 537EP:

(split url, again:)
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/T8Clearance.aspx?
url=/9284/eng/Intel-537EP-2.70.95.0-suse9.3.tgz&agr=Y&ProductID=1230&DwnldID=9284&lang =eng

You said you have tried two versions of Suse. I see that Intel
supports Suse version 9.3 directly with a binary driver. Suse 9.3 is a
little old, though. The source is the best way, but you'll need to be
able to follow their instructions carefully.

Debian installer does not recognise ataraid array

magnate <demon.co.uk> wrote:
 

[snip details of your plan to try again using the Debian d-i installer's
"bf2.6" installation flavour]

Chris, I read your post last night, and at the time was very impressed
with your thorough approach to both the testing process and recounting
of same on this newsgroup. Like Michael Heiming, who kindly posted the
link to my Linux on SATA page, I have little practical experience with
fakeraid controllers -- and just about everything I know on the subject
is already on the aforementioned page.
 

I've not yet found one, and I've really looked extensively (though not
lately). In addition to the dmraid resources linked from my SATA page,
please see if the udev-related entries on
http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Kernel are any use to you -- since hotplug,
udev, sysfs, and the devicemapper all work closely in 2.6.

Anyway, my understanding is that the ataraid software layer is
2.4-specific, and dmraid _is_ ataraid for 2.6. (You may have meant
simply "Linux parsing of ATA fakeraid disk semantics", in which case
no criticism intended, and I'm just being careful to disambiguate.)
 

Correct.
 

My impression is that you're not missing anything, except the extremely
high likelihood that the current Debian installer ("d-i") doesn't have
dmraid support in the installation kernel. Now, what you _could_ do is
to install some other leading-edge distribution, e.g., FC5, and then do
a chroot installation of Debian, using the other distro's infrastructure
support for dmraid to accomplish the job. You'd then compile a
dmraid-supporting kernel inside the chroot jail before rebooting.

(See: "Installers" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Debian on how to do
chroot installs. It's actually pretty easy, and interesting to do.)

See also:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2005-July/msg00014.html

The existence of this "udeb" package suggests that my suspicion about
d-i is correct: Such packages are useful in constructing custom
installer images. (There are lots of such custom installer images
catalogued on the aforementioned "Installers" page; might be one with
dmraid support.)
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/debian-installer/dmraid-udeb

That package should not be confused with userspace package "dmraid",
which is the glue to control fakeraid operations via devicemapper:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/dmraid

Good luck.

I looked at the capacitors and some do seem to be swelled at the top.
I do not think it is the power supply though, I might swap it out just
to see.

I know that it would be easier to replace the computer, but it is just
my fooling around computer that I was using to run linux. I do not
really need to replace it, but I would like to have another working
computer here. I might try replacing some of the capacitors to see if
that works. If it does not, then I might just keep the case and
rebuild it.

There was mention of putting in a installer disc, but the problem
happens exactly the same when I try to boot with one of those discs.
I fear it is a motherboard problem and I will have to replace it. Suck.

wireless and madwifi installation problem.

>about my system: I have a laptop t42 (ibm) with fedora 5. wireless 

OK, that means that the driver is either not loaded or had problems when it
tried to load. Look in /etc/modprobe.conf to see if there is something
there (ie some driver to be loaded).
If there is, run modprobe nameofdriver
and see if there are online errors or errors at the end of
dmesg|tail


 
 

That means that you do not have the kernel source installed. Look on your
installation CDs (or whereever you installed from ) for an rpm that starts
with
kernel-source and ends with .i386.rpm
Install it

rpm -Uhv /path/to/your/CD/kernel-source*i386.rpm


 
 
 
 

Yes, it means that the interface wifi0 does not exist, which iwconfig
already told you ( actually wifi0 is not an interface name any driver I
know of uses anyway).


You need either a native driver for your wirelss card
lspci|less
and look for the wireless card.
or you need to use ndiswrapper
( ndiswrapper should be on the installation CD. Install it with rpm
and then do
ndiswrapper -l <nameofwindowsfile.inf>
where the argument is the path to and the name of the inf file for the
windows driver from the windows CD that came with the wireless/laptop.
