Microsoft Word - Using Word Count

Using Word Count

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 02:35 PM PDT

When using Word Count from the Review ribbon, it also counts all words located in field codes.  For example, if a document is coded with TC fields, it includes the text within the brackets.  Is there a setting to turn that off?

openoffice.org Writer has taken over my Word.doc files

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 02:31 PM PDT

I am running Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.8411) SP3. I installed Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0, and now I find that whenever I try to open one of my Word.doc files it automatically comes up in OpenOffice. In fact, all my Word.doc files have a new OpenOffice icon in front of them. I am not aware that i set OpenOffice as a default word processor, but it seems to have taken over. I would like to keep it on my computer, but would also like to use Word 2003.

Can you help?

Word (Office 365) for iPad

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 02:20 PM PDT

I have a Word Form that has form protection (Developer tab) with several text fields and dropdown boxes.  It works great on the Desktop version of Word, but not on the iPad.  I can't edit the fields on the iPad, or even see what choice has been selected in the dropdown boxes.  I need to be able to edit the form on the ipad.  Is there a flavor of Word on the iPad that will accomplish this?  One of the Enterprise versions possibly?

VBA Code to allow more that 256 characters in Text Box Form Field

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 11:31 AM PDT

Hello,

In a protected document, I have a Text Box Form Field that may sometimes require more than 256 characters.

I have an On Exit macro that passes the contents of the first text box to a second text box.

My macro code is below:

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

Sub CopyIntake_Present_Prob()

    
    Dim Str1 As String
       
    Str1 = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Intake_Present_Prob").Result
    ActiveDocument.FormFields("Assess_Present_Prob").Result = Str1

End Sub

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

If the user of the form enters more than 256 characters, they receive  Run-time error '4609'

In researching a solution, I found some suggested code for resolving this error.  The code is as follows:

ActiveDocument.Unprotect
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Text1").Range.Fields(1).Result.Text = Str1
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True

I have tried including the code above in my original macro but have not been successful. 

If you agree that the above code is a viable solution, please advise how I should modify my original code to include the additional code.

If you do not agree that the above code is a viable solution, what would you suggest?

Thank you for your time.

Using Word 2007 mail merge to create and email a pdf

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 10:41 AM PDT

We are trying to use Microsoft Office 2007 to create invoices and send them.  

We have created a template that references data in an excel file.  We can use this to email a word doc to our clients that has their unique invoice.  The problem is, we need that document to be a pdf file and not a word doc.  

Does anyone know if there is a free plugin that would allow us to send our invoices as a pdf instead of a word doc?

Frustrating Issue with Saving Documents to OneDrive, brand new computer......

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:47 AM PDT

Ok so this is a brand new computer, with a fresh installation of Office 2013.

A user goes to create a document. OneDrive is setup as the default save location for all new documents. I create a doc called "test", I then click File, Save AS, and then click on BROWSE to locate the save location. By the way, many times, on many different computers, there is often a hesitation here, that causes a NOT RESPONDING message at the top of the screen, before a few seconds go by and the SAVE DIALOG appears. (this happens to many users by the way, not an anomaly).

So after some slight hesitation, at the top of the dialog save box, it says the location is:   Web Sites > https://d.docs.live.net > 6aaaedfde94etcetc....

Can you imagine newbie type users, that are told to save stuff to the cloud being faced with this ridiculous save location?

Yea, I KNOW that this is probably some dumb OneDrive pathname, but CAN YOU IMAGINE what a typical end user might think? It is instant frustration.

It should say ONEDRIVE>DOCUMENTS for christs sake. Sorry to sound irritated, but this is usability 101.

ANYWAY, on my particular case here, when I hit SAVE. It saves the document.

I then close Word, and immediately go to the File Explorer, and look for the document. It's NOT THERE.

I then go to Outlook.com and it IS THERE.

I then go back to the File Explorer, and it's STILL NOT THERE.

I have already right clicked the OneDrive folder way back when I setup the computer, and set all the files in OneDrive to appear offline.

So to fix the problem, I have to right click the OneDrive folder an SYNC manually.

Obviously this is unacceptable, and there must be some issue we can fix here.

I hope someone can read this and identify with the issue.

Little things like this lead to massive confusion for newbie type users. I speak for them because their frustration is unimaginable.

Thanks... Please see image below for an example of the confounding pathname that users are faced with.

Can't print from Microsoft products

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:26 AM PDT

I've done a lot of searching, and found several similar issues, but none of the solutions provided have resolved my issue.

I have a Win 7 Enterprise x64 box with Office 2010 on it.  txt and pdf files print correctly, as do web page prints from Chrome.  However printing from within Office, or IE, fails.  There are no error messages, just nothing happens.  It happens on two physical printers, the XPS and OneNote software printers, and when trying "Print to file" the resulting file is 0 kb.

I have repaired Office; removed the printers and drivers (before we found it also applied to software printers) and reinstalled; run a windows SFC /SCANNOW to repair the system; tested the physical printers with other computers.

Printers are a Dell and HP inkjet all in ones, computer is a Dell Latitude. 

Adding a merge field to an email hyperlink in an email mailmerge

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:24 AM PDT

I am using word 2010, excel 2010, and outlook 2010 to send out the following email with email mailmerge to 50 + people.

The highlighted names in the greeting are two merge fields - First_Name and Last_Name.

The hyperlink is an email hyperlink to the following email message:

Will you attend?   ___ Yes   ___  No

The hyperlink is as follows:

I would like to place the merge First_Name Last_Name in the hyperlink to sign the RSVP email back to me. I have tried many modifications of the hyperlink code and nothing works consistently. It will place one name as the signer but will not pick up the following names the merge fields.

I would like the final email hyperlink to look like this:

Will you attend?   ___ Yes   ___  No

Jody Smith

Can anyone tell me how to add the First_Name Last_Name to the hyperlink email so that each ricipient's name from the original email will appear in the hyperlink email as shown above?

Thanks!

Excel Cell Forms in Microsoft Word

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 09:18 AM PDT

I am working with a number of forms, created by someone else, which contain (what appear to be) Excel cells in them. These Excel cells provide information like the date, addressees, etc. These cells are not visible; I only know they're cells because they cause me all kinds of formatting difficulties and occasionally I see the spacing cell arrows indicative of Excel. I would like to know how these cells are made. I am familiar with inserting both tables and Excel spreadsheets into Word and these are unlike anything I have encountered before. 

Insert and auto size pictures to table cell size

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 08:53 AM PDT

Is there any reasonably efficient way to insert and auto size multiple pictures to a table, each into its own cell?

I have created a Word doc containing an empty table with a 2 row by 2 column of equal size cell table fit to the full page (ie, the page is divided into 4 equal size cells).  I also have a directory containing 40 or so 7MB cell phone pictures.  I would like to create a Word doc with 4 pics to a page, placing the pics one to a cell (across then down) in the order they appear in the directory.  

How do I insert a pic so that it is automatically resized to fit the existing cell size?  (Every time I use the Word pic insert fcn or I drag and drop a pic to a cell, Word expands the cell size rather than fitting the pic to the existing cell.)

How do I insert multiple pictures into adjacent cells in an across then down order, creating new document pages as needed?  (Every time I try to insert multiple pics, it puts them all in the same column.)

Could I do this better/easier if I were creating the doc in Excel?

I'm using this to maintain a team scrapbook, adding a bunch of pics after each game.  I'm hoping for a way to do this that is non labor intensive.

I appreciate your help.

Inserting Images into a Table Cell without Moving the Text

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 07:52 AM PDT

Hello, first time poster here.

I recently upgraded to Microsoft 2013 and Windows 8 OS. And now I've encountered a problem that I hadn't had before.

I'm trying to insert an image into a table cell. I have it formatted as "in front of text." When I begin moving the image into place, the text in the cell moves! In previous versions of Word, I could go into more layout options and just uncheck the layout in table cell option and it would fix the problem.

The problem that I have now is that the layout in table cell option is grayed out and I can't uncheck it!

Please help because this is extremely frustrating due to the fact that I was able to fix this problem before. Thanks.

Arial Bold installed but Word is substituting it

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 07:32 AM PDT

System: Windows 7 64-bit, running Word 2010.

I have Arial Bold installed as part of the Arial family.

However, in Word 2010, the font doesn't show up in my list of fonts and according to File->Options->Advanced->Font Substitution is being substituting it with "Default".

The weird part is it then says:

"The default substitution for "Arial Bold" is "Arial Bold".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Word 2013 Macros not working from ribbon.

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 06:12 AM PDT

New laptop (ASUS F550L) has Office 365 installed running on Windows 8.1

All seems to work OK. I use macros and on this machine these can be called from macro dialogue box,or if assigned to hot-keys they work.

However they WILL NOT operate from the ribbon.

Microsoft re-seller suggested  to use Office 2013. Office 365 fully cleaned off, and Office 2013 installed. As I expected same problem occurs.


Looking at other questions on this site I have re-started from safe mode, turned off graphics accelerator (latter done from within Word settings as Windows  control  panel does not have facility for this on this PC.

Any suggestions on how to get macros working from ribbon?

Styles - bullets formatting differently in different version

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 04:35 AM PDT

Hi there,

I've just created new styles in Word 2010 following this guide http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html

The bullets are blue whereas the text is black and it's formatted to go

a)

*sub-bullet 1 indent* 1)

*sub-bullet 2 indent x 2* i)

And it works perfectly.

However, I've just sent it to a friend on Word 2013 and the formatting goes wrong.

- Both the bullets and text are blue

- The pattern doesn't go back to a), b), c) etc after using sub-bullets

- The sub-bullet indents go strange

Could anyone help with this?

Thanks!

Translate into Tigrinya ( ትግርኛ )

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 04:08 AM PDT

Hi, I would like to be able to translate text into Tigrinya ( ትግርኛ ). But that option isn't available in Word Translate. I can find it in the Language Pack Downloads, but will this just give the option to type/edit/spellcheck in that language, or will it now be available to translate to it with the Language Pack?

Thanks.

VBA code to access words ignored in current document during spellcheck?

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 01:43 AM PDT

(Windows 8.1, Office 2013)

 

Is there any way to access the list of words that have been ignored in the current document during a spell check in Microsoft Word?

 

I'm working on a group of documents with many names, part numbers, code numbers, etc. that are marked wrong by the spell-checker.

 

It would be nice, when I finished checking one document, to take that list of ignored words with me and somehow "install" it in the second document, so those ignored terms will also be ignored while checking the next document. I thought that it might be stored in the attributes for the current document and accessible via a VBA object.

 

Most of these terms will only be used once in this job (but in more than one document), so I don't want to add them to a new spelling dictionary. Plus it's inconvenient to change the dictionary where a new word is to be added, on the fly. (If that worked better then this wouldn't be needed.)

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

P.S. While looking online, I found this macro which might be helpful to other spelling geeks:

 

Sub OldStyleSpellcheck()

' OldStyleSpellcheck Macro

' This macro open the old (2010) style Spelling and Grammar window

    Application.Dialogs(wdDialogToolsSpellingAndGrammar).Show

End Sub

 

It's described here:

 

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/where-is-ignore-rule-in-word-2013/7552e113-909b-4a57-bfd9-5ccaaeb3920c?page=4

Find & Replace - Word 2003 Windows XP

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 01:08 AM PDT

Hi,

We have approx. 2,000 letter templates that currently have a particular signature image, name and job title included in them. This person is leaving our company and the details need to change; manually changing a signature image and 2 lines of text in that many documents is not really a good option, and I woud prefer to replace them with an 'INSERTTEXT' function so that if someone new comes again, we just have to change one document to update all the others.

The question is, is there a macro or other function that can make this change? Ideally, I need to know how to remove the existing details and replace with the INSERTTEXT function, and how to physically replace the image and text in the event that our document generation system doesn't like the function.

All of the documents are in the same folder as far as I know so it shouldn't have to search too many locations if that helps.

Thanks.

Word 2013 crashes while updating TOC with multiple documents

Word 2010 and Word 2013 crashes unexpectedly

Posted: 27 Jun 2014 12:26 AM PDT

MS Office Word 2013 crashes unexpectedly in Windows 7. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed.

I am having this problem since more than a month and having hard time with Word.


The problem first started in Word 2010 in windows 7.

Word was giving out of memory error, file permission error, too many files are open error, word encountered a problem error in different times without no reason. And I was loosing unsaved changes. Sometimes word freezes. Buttons and letters messed up on the screen. Sometimes sandglass appears and word windows becomes frozen white.

For a solution Office 2013 and Windows 8 installed, ram upgraded, hard disk upgraded. Acrobat extension in word is disabled.

Most of the time one great change is word was not closed automatically after an error appears. Nothing really changed.

So, I returned to win7 and word2013 combination again.

Now, when I open a docx file which is previously saved in Office 2010.

Word opens the file in compatible mode.

The random errors continuing and corrupting my work. 

I noticed that when most of the errors come on one of my files are in compatible mode.

I open 3-5 word documents at a time. And copy-paste information between them.

If I have problem in all of my word documents (I dont think so) I need solution like "open and repair" and "convert to 2013 file".

Any help will be appreciated.

Word: Copy-Paste Function Not Possible; Issue with Visual Basic?

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 08:08 PM PDT

Hello all,

I am facing an issue on Word 2007 SP3 where, when I open Word, a popup appears saying, "Microsoft Visual Basic: compile error in hidden module: Globals".

Also, when I try to paste text into a Word document, the following popup appears: "Microsoft Visual Basic: Compile error in hidden module: BBPT_modUtility_Word_New" and I cannot paste any text. 

There is an addin called bloomberguilegacy.dot. If I delete the addin from the Word start folder, both popups do not appear and I'm able to copy and paste text.

However, a few days later, the problem reoccurs and we are unable to cut and paste to Word.

I thought it might be related to "Bloomberg Office Tools" so I upgraded to the newest version, but the issue reappears.

It seems that deleting the dot template file is a fix, so is anyone aware of a permanent solution?

VBA code to return to a specific location in a document

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 05:26 PM PDT

Hello,

Thanks to the assistance of others here on this site, I have a macro that performs a spell check on a specific section of a locked form.

When the spell check is complete, the cursor is taken away from the section that was spell checked and is moved to the top of the document.

I am attempting to add code to the spell checking code that will return the cursor to the section that was just spell checked.   I am attempting to do it via bookmarks.  The code creates a temporary bookmark that is intended to assist in navigating back to the created bookmark once the spell checking process is complete.

(NOTE - The bookmark cannot be created ahead of time as the sections that are spell checked are created as needed by the users via other macros.)

Unfortunately, even with the bookmark creation code, once spell checking is complete, the cursor is still returned to the beginning of the document.

Is there something wrong with my code OR is there a better way in achieving my goal of staying in the section that was just spell checked.

Thank you for any assistanc that you can offer.

My code is displayed below:

Sub SpellCheckProgressNote()

'Spell Checks the current Progress Note pages

 Dim i As Long, Rng As Range
 With Selection
   i = .Sections(1).Index
   Set Rng = .Range
 End With
 With ActiveDocument
 
    'If document is protected, Unprotect it.
        If .ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
            .Unprotect Password:=""
         End If
   
   ' Create a temporary bookmark in current location
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="StoppedHere", Range:=Selection.Range
    
    'Performs the Spell Check process
         Application.ResetIgnoreAll
        With .Range
             .LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
            If .NoProofing <> True Then .NoProofing = True
        End With
       
        With .Sections(i).Range
            .NoProofing = False
            .SpellingChecked = False
            .GrammarChecked = False
            .CheckSpelling
            .NoProofing = True
        End With
   
'Returns to the bookmark created at start of macro and then deletes it
    Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="StoppedHere"
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("StoppedHere").Delete
    
    'ReProtects the document.
        If .ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then
            .Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
        End If
 End With
 
    Rng.Select

   
 End Sub

How can I specify which paragraph styles should be part of the TOC?

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I've written a book of about 300 pages, and I'd like to generate a TOC for it. All the information I can find on the web tells me how to do this based on the built-in paragraph style names Heading1, Heading2, etc. These names are meaningless for my document, however, so I wrote it using paragraph names that makes sense for what I'm doing, e.g., "Unnumbered Chapter", "Chapter", "Guideline", etc. I've also assigned Outline levels to these styles so that they are organized correctly in the Navigation Pane.

I'd assumed that to generate a TOC, all I'd have to do would be to tell Word which paragraph styles to include, and it would use the outline levels I'd already assigned to structure the TOC.  But at this point, I can't even figure out how to tell Word which paragraph styles correspond to text that should be in the TOC.

Help?

Hidden documents

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 04:49 PM PDT

I recently had this computer updated from Windows XP to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit by my tech guy.

Document files I had saved in the "recent Files" on XP  are playing hard to find with the windows 7 system.

I found a path to retrieve one or two the other day, now that pathway has disappeared. For a short time the new "Recent Files" was being populated by a list of those files, but it just stopped. The "recent Files" folder now only has the most recent files that I opened while searching for the missing file cache.

I need to access those files to complete billing and other reference tasks.

Any suggestions?   

I'm totally confused.

Thanks,

Unusual text boxes in document

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 04:37 PM PDT

This is sort of hard to explain but here goes:

I own a copy of Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Readiris Pro 14. I have my resume on my states ( Pennsylvania ) job search web site.

The web site will let you download a copy of your resume to either a .docx or .pdf file ( or both if you choose ).

I've downloaded both file types.

What I've come across is:

The Word document has what I consider to be "text boxes" but they don't seem to be like the kind you can manually insert from Words ribbon.

Even if I "save as" from the Acrobat pdf copy using the function in Acrobat TO a Word copy OR I convert the Acrobat pdf THROUGH Readiris Pro 14 ( OCR software ) to a Word docx, there are basically text boxes around each line of text on the resume.

Another way I can explain them is, they're sort of like a whole bunch of individual tables that only have one row and one column.

Does anyone know why this document is doing this AND another question is, How do I get rid of them?

I want to get all the text with it's formatting, if possible, directly on the sheet, not in textbox or table type format.

Help! Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Jeff ( Told you it was hard to explain, lol )

P.S. I'm using my computer which is running Windows 8.1 but I also have a computer running Windows 7 which has a copy I own of Office 2007 on it and it does the same thing.

Is that the resolution you get in "X", are you in the GUI? If so, then you
need to have something like this at the bottom of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file:

Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

From the command line as root you can also run vasm and then choose
xwindow, xconf to reconfigure X automatically.

I am not sure that this is an easy task but if you are trying to do this for

first name and last name. You have a company field and this might give you
the desired effect. You can also do this in a report using crystal reports.

CRM Server Installation Problem!!

Sorry Stelios, I was a fast/lazy reader... You did remove both the OU and the

Those error messages are typical for that problem.

I think I've seen the same error messages appearing when the database server
we tried to install on was on another vlan, and some Cisco filtering did
interfere. We moved the database server to the same vlan, and everything went
fine.

Why is there a "server version" of my documents?

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 02:20 PM PDT

I recently started a trial installation of Office 365 Home (on my single home PC) and it's beginning to seem like a really bad idea.

I have several times now (since installing Office 365, never before) had confusing pop-up warnings about my version of a document (in Word or Excel) and a "server version" of the same document. In some cases (too confusing to figure out) there's a message that my document is in use by, or has been saved (or whatever) by "another user" who turns out to be me. I am the only person who uses this computer, and it is the only computer on my home network.

The path for the most recent "server version" is

C:\Users\[…]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Office.ODCPAW

  1. Could this have something to do with OneDrive integration?
  2. How can I make it stop happening (i.e. so that I never again have this fuss about a "server version")?
  3. Will it solve the problem if uninstall Office 365 and revert to Office 2010 (which works seamlessly with OneDrive) or has Office 365 now changed my system permanently?
  4. Would Office Home and Student 2013 cause the same kind of problem?

All Text In A Document Replaced With Invisible Foreign Characters

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 01:15 PM PDT

I have a folder full of text stories in various Word 2003 and Rich Text formats. I opened up my largest and most important doc (600Kb RTF file) today and every single letter, space and punctuation has been replaced with Hidden characters. When I choose show/hide formatting, the page is filled with characters that look like a Y with an Umlaut. There are just as many pages as there were originally, it's just filled with Y's. The rest of my documents are fine, and I do not recall closing this document prematurely or my PC crashing while the doc was in use.

My last manual backup was a few months ago, and it's on a non windows drive with no automatic backups/restore points.  I've tried searching for auto recover files etc and even did a deep scan with Recuva, but all I've got is this one massive file full of nonsense (Picture below).

I'd appreciate it if anyone could give any suggestions to how to recover the information, or at very least an explanation as to how this could happen.

All documents open in [Read Only] and [Compatibility Mode] from Windows Explorer

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 11:22 AM PDT

I used to have no problem at all opening "Word 2007 Documents" in my Word 2010. However, all of a sudden whenever I open a word document, even one that I KNOW I created with my 2010 version of Word, every single document opens in Read Only and Compatibility Mode. I can't edit until I hit escape, go to File, and convert to Word 2010. But even then, I have to create a save-as copy to keep my changes! I don't want to do this, I want to save my changes to the original document just like I've always done. These files are on a shared drive and it just complicates things to have to create another version of the file. 

I discovered that if I open my files directly from word rather than from Windows Explorer, some of these problems are alleviated. However, what's strange is that of two documents that are BOTH listed as "Wood 2007 Documents" in Windows Explorer, one of them opens in compatibility mode but allows me to edit and save changes without any problem, while the other still opens completely normally, no compatibility or read-only mode, and I'm able to edit and save it with no issues. This is the experience I've always had with 2007-version documents, and it's the experience I want back, no matter how I open the file.

How can I fix this so I can open my documents from Word or from Explorer and not have to deal with compatibility mode or read-only issues?

Thanks for any assistance.

Help with Indents and Lists

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 07:57 AM PDT

So I am currently working on consolidating a 150+ page word document into a different format and am having some trouble. The format is supposed to work like this

6 Title

6.1 Step 1

6.1.1 Details of step one

6.1.2 More details of step one

6.2 Step 2

However I am currently working with something like this

6 Title

6.1 Step 1

6.1.1 Details of step one

6.1.1 More details of step one

6.1 Step 2

While I have dealt with this before on a smaller scale (30 page document) and transfered everything to the template doc I would just rather not spend a week doing that if there are a series of 4-5 clicks that can solve this problem in a more effecient manner.

Hot keys for Building Blocks Organizer

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 07:54 AM PDT

I have Office 2007 which I am running in Windows 7.  The Building Blocks Organizer in Word has the I of Insert underlined which usually indicates that just pressing the I key will insert the chosen item from the Organizer.  Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working for me.  Does anyone know how to make those hot keys for the Organizer work?  I insert a lot of headers from the Organizer and it would make my job a heck of a lot easier if I could just press that I key to insert them after choosing them.

As an example of what I'm talking about I'll use the Find and Replace Commands.  In the Find and Replace window if you press R it replaces the highlighted word, if you press A it replaces all occurrences of the word, and if you press F it finds the next occurrence.  I want to be able to just press the I key in the Building Blocks Organizer and have it insert the selected item.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Quick Style Bullets Changing Spontaneously

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 05:40 AM PDT

I created a new style set that includes quick styles for a couple of different kinds of bullets, in addition to a numbered multilevel list.  I am reformatting a number of documents that use a different style set, and after formatting several of these documents with my new style I found that some of the quick styles I was using were changing.  In particular, when I applied my style set to the document, I noticed that my bullets no longer matched the parameters that I had set, but had become numbered lists, or the bullet disappeared, or the indents changed.  Now, every time I apply the style set (even to a blank document), some of the quick styles change - and never in the same way.  I wonder if this has something to do with the original style sets of the documents I am formatting, and whether this somehow destabilized my style set, but otherwise I have no idea why this might be happening.  Anyone?

OneDrive doesn't update

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 03:55 AM PDT

Hello! I'm using Microsoft Word 365 for iPad on iPad 3 with iOS 7.1. The software itself is great but I've started having a problem with updating OneDrive folder tree in Word for iPad.

When I start Word for iPad it takes some time to connect and then shows OLD folder structure (seems to be cached). When I try to update it with swipe down, the loading flowers cicles for endless time, than appears the message about problems with connection. But in fact everithing is well. OneDrive app connects fast and lets me to open word files in Word :) But what's with the Word itself?

PS

OneNote works good. Also, when I edit recent files in Word, they sync with my PC without any problems... The only problem with updating OneDrive in Word.

Office 2013 Pro - Word, Search find no results

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 02:58 AM PDT

I recently installed a new Windows 8.1 PC and loaded MS Office Professional 2013

When I am in word and am searching for a document to work on I click 'file > open'

When I type in the file name (or part of the file name) - the search always comes back with no results found.

I may have partially answered my own question here - I was trying the same search through windows explorer (not from the charms menu) with the same results (i.e. no files found) 

I now believe this to be a general issue with Windows Explorer.

I am using classic shell (4.1.0) could this be the issue?

Using the charms menu search, I can find some files, but not the specific file I was looking for (which I know to exist as a word document)

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

thanks in advance

Word 2013 Won't Retain Style/Format When Converted To PDF

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:38 PM 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.

How to use Word switches for Excel percentages that are positive, negative and over 100%?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:33 PM PDT

Aloha...

I have %'s in Excel that are negative, positive and over 100%, and the only switch in Word I found that shows me if a % is over 100 is =mergefield *100\#0.00% but that makes formatting to remove the preceding zero and decimal point to turn it into a whole number an extra step in Word. If I don't specify the decimal point, I get a long list of numbers after the decimal in Word.

In Word, it comes out as -0.17%, but I need it to look like -17% instead.  or if something is .69%, I need it to display 69%.

This is driving me nuts and taking lots of time. Please help?!

Thanks in advance!

Word 2013 can't display all pages

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:17 PM PDT

When I cut and pasted some pictures inside Word, suddenly the panel froze, however I could save it. After restarting, Word cannot display all the pages, it only shows first 14/29 pages. I know the rest are still there because when you view it on other modes, you can see them. It just doesn't display them in the normal view. I have tried copy all and paste to another document, open it in safe mode, reinstall Office, email it to other computer and open it in Word 2013, none of these works. The Word Online can show full document, but some pictures cannot display, although open it in offline, all of the pictures (in first 14 pages) can be shown.

You can see my document in here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfbMzZB7mgyUDkyQ2x1RnllY28/edit?usp=sharing. It has lots of pictures, some equations. It is written in Vietnamese, but you can look at the format though.

Word Crashes When Imaged Moved In Unprotected Section

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 04:46 PM PDT

I have a protected Word document with some areas that are unprotected to allow users to enter free text, as well as insert photos.  The document is always protected other than the pre-defined selected sections.

I have a macro that allows the user to insert a photo and re-sizes it for them to a specified size automatically.  It works fine.  However, what I have noticed is that if you try to move the photo to a different location within the unprotected section word crashes.  I can replicate this within my document, and I replicated the problem by just creating a new blank document with two sections, one protected, and one unprotected.  You can insert an image just fine, but when you try to move it word crashes.  If you do this when the document is unprotected word does not crash.

This is a bit of a problem.  I have spent a lot of time designing this form and it works great except for this bug.  I am using Office 2013 but it also occurs in Office 2010.

Is this a known word issue?  Is there a work around that doesn't involve leaving the document unprotected.

Any help is truly appreciated.
