Microsoft Word - Microsoft Word 2007 LiveRecovery


Microsoft Word 2007 LiveRecovery

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:45 PM PDT

  Hi, I wasn't able to see any threads addressing a problem like this so I decided to sign up.

  While I was doing an important document and typing it up, I had to insert a picture. I had almost finished but when I put in the picture, Word suddenly stopped working. It gave the "Microsoft Word has stopped working" message and then another saying "...is trying to recover your information" and then finally, "Windows will close the program and notify you..."

  Now, due to my ignorance, I forgot to save the document. I had that Document Recovery thing on and thus I wasn't so worried... Until I clicked on the most recent file and got the same error messages. Every time I tried to open the latest file, the same thing would happen again and again. Sorry for the long ramble but is there anything that I can do to recover it?

First Page not printed when a graphic?

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:37 PM PDT

I have just gotten two student documents that had the first page a cover page---all graphic. The Graphic ribbon opened up. When I clicked on that portion to see the Style, I only saw "no spacing."

I tried to avoid wasting ink printing up that crud, and told Word to print up pages 2-7. Word not only skipped the first page that was teh cover page, but also, the first page of text. This happened with 2 separate files.

Under what conditions here does Word not print the first page, automatically? Or better, not even count page 1 as a page 1? If I see that No Spacing style, will that tell me that Word automatically cuts out the first page? This way, I know what to tell Word to print, and can avoid searching through all the files, for the one that I need to reprint.

Capitalization and Headings

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:30 PM PDT

REQUIREMENT: Create titles and headings without capitalization - this is distinguishes personal content from content authored elsewhere.

PROBLEM: Word places distracting, heavy blue underlines under non-capitalized titles and headings, clicking 'ignore once' only works once and only for a limited time, while editing.

QUESTION: There used to be a [ ] Capitalization checkbox in previous version of Word. Where is that in Office 365 for Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

SO FAR ... This disables underlines, but turns off spellchecking.

Sometimes Pamphlet is grayed out sometimes it is not

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:24 PM PDT

I have installed Office2010 and (fortunately) kept Office2003.  I have a Word document, which is set up with page size "invoice" which is a half-page standard letter paper.  The document is intended to be printed as a foldover booklet, or pamphlet.  

The Printer Properties (Sharp MX-2600N) shows the option "PAMPHLET STYLE" which prints perfectly, double-sided, ready to be folded in the middle.  

Sometimes the radio button to select PAMPHLET STYLE is grayed out, and sometimes it is not grayed out.  This has me stumped.  

I can get around the problem by opening the Word document using Word2003.  The radio button is never grayed out in Word2003.

Mail merge in MS Word 2013 using 2 letters per sheet

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:04 PM PDT

Hello

I am hoping to Mail Merge from a database of names into MS Word 2013. My document is an invitation, using two invitations per sheet. I have inserted a "Next Field" between the two invitations (Rules, Next Record from the Mailings dropdown menu), which picks up the next name from the database perfectly on sheet one, but sheet two starts with the second name, instead of the third. This happens with each new sheet. Can anybody help?

Intercepting the "Save to Adobe PDF" command (Word 2010 VBA)

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 10:49 AM PDT

Microsoft Word 2010 and the F7 key use for spell check.

After upgrading to win 8.1 I notice TWO errors I had not seem before.  (1) I now get the C:\windows\System32\LogiLDA.dll error at startup.   (2) I can no longer use the F7 key to do spelling and grammar checking in Word (Office 2010).  I now have to go to the "Review" tab and chick spelling & grammar to check the document.   Is the two errors connected?  How can I fix these problems?

Drop-Down box with option to type manually

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 08:51 AM PDT

I read several of the other posts that were related to this before posting and only one looked like what I was looking for but it appeared to be for Excel and not Word. So I am using Microsoft Office 2010 and I am working on some forms to make it easier for the nurse/doctor to fill out the forms. I have created a drop down box that has several "quickpicks" of what the most commonly used diagnosis codes that they use. Obviously adding all of  them is not only impossible but very time consuming and with the change to ICD-9 to ICD-10 having the ability to manually type in this box while still having all the selections would be very nice for all of us. 

So to be as clear as possible I need to know if I can keep the box and all its contents and in the event the doctor needs to type in a diagnosis that is not in the box that he can do so without having to edit anything since the form is generally in protect mode. I hope that is clear. I also need step by step instructions if possible since I have tried just about everything I could think of.

Can I "add a place" in Word "Save As" that is NOT cloud based? If so, HOW?

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 07:58 AM PDT

All I want to do is to add a place where my files will be saved so I don't have to dredge through the folders on my computer to get to the one I want.  Not all of us save ALL of our documents to My Documents or to cloud based locations.  It was a ridiculous concept to begin with.  I have specific folders for specific projects ON MY COMPUTER and would like to add "save as" places as those particular folders.  So, how can I "Add a Place" that is NOT cloud based?  The only options Microsoft seems to allow is Sharepoint and Onedrive neither of which I use and neither of which I ever have any intention of using.  Actually, I would also REALLY like to disable Onedrive entirely so it never shows up again on ANY of my Office programs as it really screws up Outlook, but that's a whole other issue.

Paragraph or section expand/hide option

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 07:39 AM PDT

I recall some time ago being able to produce a Word document where individual paragraphs could be formatted such that they could be hidden or expanded for viewing. For example, a document may be a discussion about a topic where a question is posed and the following paragraphs or sections can be formatted such that the reader cannot see all the information initially - they could click on a button [I think it was a button] that would then show the content of the following paragraph.

Word 2010 - How do you create a default table that has a set row height?

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 03:03 AM PDT

I am trying to create a standard word doc table for my department and we want to use a standard table format.

I have set the Table Style I want as a default and can set every value except for row height.  We've been using Arial 9.5 for the text and the row height seems to always come out as 0.79 cm.  I would like it to be exactly 0.5 cm as this takes up less space and looks neater.  There seems to be no way that I can set this row height as a default.  Can anyone help?!

I know it is simple to change each table individually, but when you have 50-80 tables in any single report it takes an awful lot of time that could be spent more constructively.  Any help gratefully received!

Multi-lingual document-sharing issues with caption references

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 02:34 AM PDT

Hi All, we share documents between several European Research partners and as I was 'tidying' one up to make the final version I finally realised why we have such difficulty with references.  It turns out that word uses language specific references e.g. { SEQ figura \* ARABIC} in Italian and { SEQ figure \* ARABIC} in English.  So if I add a a caption in my version it won't appear in the table of figures as it's looking for figuras not figures and vice versa.  I also can't reference any figuras as they don't turn up in the list of figures when I ask to insert a cross-reference.  While I understand the need for readability in the references this incompatibility makes it a nightmare to manage documents across multiple language users. (For reference, the documents we're writing are all in English - it will be the system languages that differ).

Does anyone know how to effectively manage figure/table references in large documents with multiple multi-lingual authors?  Also when word looses a cross reference, something it seems to do frequently when moving between different partners, is there a way to find out what the new number (i.e nnnnnn in {REF _Refnnnnnn \h} so that I can do a find and replace to update things correctly.

As someone who uses LaTeX on a frequent basis it never ceases to amaze me how much time I can waste on correcting these issues in word, if the reference identifier were present in the figure reference (e.g. { SEQ fig ID _REF0123456 \* ARABIC} then the common "Error Ref not found!" would be a lot less common.

WD2013 master document is it possible to export as a single .docx file?

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:55 AM PDT

I have a 40 chapter book in master document form. It refuses headers and footers, and altered the page margins when I tried to use them. It will not scroll properly, loses and finds pages and graphics leap about at random. It is utterly chaotic.

So as not to lose a month's work I desperately need to save it as a single document. I have tried compiling the individual chapters but the formatting is incorrect and the first section is of course missing - of course, if you add it, it becomes a master document again. 

Question: does anyone know how to achieve this?

As a note, this is a top end workstation with 32GB of ram, solid state memory and 14 processors. This is not a hardware problem. The OS is Win7 64 bit, completely up to date. 

Microsoft Word 2010 (Windows 7)

Posted: 01 Jul 2014 12:02 AM PDT

I am typing UK English on a US layout keyboard. Which means I need to type UK English on US English keyboard. Before some smart alec say "Change your physical keyboard" like the smartie pants from the tech store, I cannot change it because it is a laptop.

I set my default language to UK English in MS Words but each time I open up that damn thing it shows English (US). This is pretty annoying and I need to manually change the language settings otherwise it auto corrects my realise to realize and whatever other spelling the yanks spell differently.

I removed "English (U.S.)" from the File>Options>Language>Choose Editing Language but each time I reopen MS Words I still find the software speaking yankee doodle. It seems the only way is to change the keyboard settings in regional settings, but I cannot do that as explained earlier. Is there another way to get around this inflexibility?

It seems pretty retarded to me if Microsoft did not budget for this flexibility when building their software. So I am betting that there is some unknown setting hidden somewhere deep in the yankee forest that I cannot find.

And, can I completely remove English (U.S.) from the entire system except for the keyboard layout?

Can I control sentence spacing?

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 10:37 PM PDT

Ideas?

How do you make the HOME tab the default in Word 365?  Everytime I type into Word, the default tab keeps on going back to the FILE tab.  It's becoming quite annoying as I have to click the HOME tab everytime I need to modify the format, i.e. fonts, font color, paragraph etc.  

Word 2013 Document/template prints blank

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 08:33 PM PDT

Okay, so a few weeks now into Windows 8 with my new computer and have now come the closest to "sledge hammer" status/action...

Created a Word document tonight using a Word postcard template in Word 2013... Edited, changed the text, inserted some Word picture art and then went to simply print it--TO SIMPLY PRINT THE DARN THING--and it prints nothing but a blank sheet of paper...

Shows up just fine on print preview, but prints completely blank. Tried to re-create the doc, same thing. Cut/pasted it to a blank word doc--same thing. Tried to save it as a PDF file--same thing.

Test printed several other things--all printed fine. But not this postcard template/doc... Which I need to have printed by tomorrow...

So darn frustrated. If you have a solution and have managed to read/listen to this ranting, please advise...

Thanks,

SR Hammer

Printing on 6X9 envelopes from a merged file

We're using Office 2010 and trying to print 6X9 envelopes from a merged file on HP Officejet Pro 8600.

We continue to get the mismatched error notice - even though we have changed the paper size to 6X9.

We have selected C5 envelope size each time we have gotten an envelope to print (6 printed - 341 to go) but it keeps popping back to standard letter size and then not printing but showing the error message.

copy graphic gives poor quality, Word 2000

Posted: 30 Jun 2014 04:50 PM PDT

Using Word 2000, I pasted graphics into a document and they display well. I don't know how it is stored internally. If I copy the image then paste it into paint or any image processing program I have tried, it is very degraded, missing or duplicating rows and columns. The resolution of the pasted image depends on the magnification used in word to display it on the video monitor, not the source resolution. The same problem is seen when I print it, but there is no problem copping from one Word document to another. How can I get the image copied or printed with the resolution of the original?

This will happen if the registry contains Microsoft Windows Installer information from an earlier Office installation.

To rectify this issue you will need to run the Windows installer Utility. After try your install of Office 2003

As for finding responses, most of us who are "hard core" readers of the

Simply rename that file and you will be good to go. Don't bother trying
to delete it after you renamed. Just reboot your computer before
installing the trial.

Make sure that you use the correct "B" and "8" and "0". The keys do

running office 03 and 07 side by side

Posted: 19 Jan 2007 07:41 PM PST

I'm sorry, but I wanted to know why only 1 version of outlook can be
installed when all other apps can be run with dual installations. I am aware
that only one instance of outlook can be run. Presently I have a machine that
is multi booting, 2 XP pro and 1 Vista, first XP running office 03 second XP
running office 07, and Vista running office 07. This is fine for someone with
a lot of time to spend with the machine but I have very little time lately
and wish to preserve my 03 settings and do not wish to lose any data, hence
my desire to run both versions of office on 1 OS

Any problems loading Office 2007?

Hi Jeff,

With all of the Office apps closed, use Start=>Search and see if you can locate a file named opa12.dat . If so rename it to
opa12.old, restart the PC then start an Office 2007 app and activate.

How to play audio CDs with linux?

THANKS! I've done as you suggested and now CD audio works
perfectly for the non-root user. So, everything is now set all right.

Unruh wrote: 

Actually, by running 'gpasswd -a your_user cdrom' user was
added to group cdrom in /etc/gpasswd and /etc/group and this
achieved the objective. As Aragorn pointed out later, I do have
udev on my system, which would reset permissions at bootup.
The system now works fine, so I'm not going to experiment
further with permissions...

Aragorn wrote: 

I want to thank everyone who participated in this thread for all the
precious advice I got here. These newsgroups are truly a goldmine
of knowledge, and you guys are what makes this a reality.

So, to resume the steps which solved the sound problems
in my system:

1) Initially I would get an error message when attempting to run
KsCD to play an audio CD as the non-root user. By running KsCD
as root, which took care of the error message, it was established
that there was an access permission problem. But still there was
no sound.

2) Some suggested that a missing cable between cdrom drive
and sound card could be the problem. Others said it could
not be an issue here. I checked and there was no cable.
I added a cable connecting cdrom drive and cd audio connector
on the motherboard. Still no sound for su. But the music
could be played by plugging a set of earphones directly into
the cdrom drive.

3) Sound for root was made possible by unmuting and turning
up the cd volume control in alsamixer. (Very stupid, isn't it?
but I had overlooked it).

4) Finally, access permissions for non-root user.
'ls -lL /dev/cdrom' produced:

brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Jul 7 08:25 /dev/cdrom

showing that non-root user had no access to /dev/cdrom.
Non-root user was given access permission and added
to group cdrom by running:

'gpasswd -a user_name cdrom'

After logging out of XWindows then logging in again, audio CD
playing now works perfectly also for the non-root user.

Again, thank you all!!!

GRUB advanced configuration

Posted: 06 Jul 2006 11:55 AM PDT

"Nico Kadel-Garcia" <net> wrote:
 

The simple way, and the default in most cases, is to allow the
installer to set up GRUP with a choice of Linux versions plus a
Windows version. Choosing Windows then uses the contents of boot.ini
to present a Windows boot menu. This doesn't get quite what you want,
but it is simple, and pretty standard.

You might find that the installer has detected both windows versions
and put them into GRUB - in that case I would first try editing the
boot.ini in one of the Windows versions to get it to offer a choice,
and when that is successful, change the grub config file so it only
offers that version of Windows (and change the description maybe to
"Windows boot menu")

SATA drives insanely hot and lm-sensors not working

I guess this is hotter than drives ought to be, but I don't see any

How to backup the files printing from graphics window?

The Natural Philosopher <a@b.c> writes:
 
 
 

The unix print jobs go to a print controller which caches the files into a
directory while they are being printed. That directory is /var/spool/cups,
with files starting with c being control files. On my system, those control
files are not erased. This leaves you with the name of the files printed,
the person, the format, the time, etc. (It is a partly text partly binary
file).

bootup problem

First, let me correct my mis-statement above:
Usually, the root filesystem is mounted readonly, until the kernel is
ready.
 

Apparently, /proc is an exception to the readonly rule. The mount
command for /proc is successful, I guess, because proc is a
pseudo-filesystem which indicates the state of the kernel. The state of
the kernel is dynamic. BTW, for the mount command to be successful, the
mount point /proc must exist. For example, this command fails on a
readonly filesystem:

mkdir /proc

But, this command is successful (if /proc already exists):

mount -n proc /proc -t proc
 
Note: comments inline.

Startup scripts are distribution dependant. The SYSV startup scripts
that are used by most distributions are complex. I don't envy your
task of reinventing all of the startup scripts. Probably, the starting
point is a thorough understanding of the jobs performed by the existing
scripts before attempting to change or replace them. Without proper
startup, your system may lack the functionality that you'd expect. One
way to visualize this is to boot using only the kernel and root
filesystem by performing a simple exercise. Try this: specify the
kernel's init process as the bash shell. (Note: init=/bin/bash can be
specified as a kernel argurment.) Once booted in that environment you'll
be able to see what a minimal system looks like. This shows what the
kernel looks like without runlevels which are managed by the standard
"init" in combination with the startup scripts. You'll see a lot is missing.

More Info
There are two "schools" of startup scripts: SYSV and BSD-style. For me, it
is easier to understand and decipher the BSD-style scripts provided by the
Slackware distribution. IME, before changing the SYSV startup scripts,
you'll need to get a "secret decoder ring"- they're too complex. So,
before jumping right in and rewriting the scripts yourself, study both
styles. Perhaps, the other "school" will be more to your liking. In
any case, the concept of an "init" process and "runlevels" are fundamental
to a unix-like OS. If you stray too far, you might end up with something
else.

Debian on G3 upgraded PPC 8500

Thanks for your response. Was tinkering to see if I could find some use

has been great but it's now "ancient". It would be nice if Linux can
bring it up to date for me in terms of browser and networking capability
(wireless perhaps, or is that wishing too much?). There's not much
hardware info I can view from the machine at boot up. I do wonder if the
onboard video chipset is supported by Debian. Was hoping that perhaps
someone has gone this way before and could give me a tip or two.

Slow Keyboard Response

Hi,
Just want to say that this problem seemed to be solved on its own!
Yesterday, I just started my system, and no longer does my keyboard behave
as erratic as that.

I've really not investigated on what really had happened, but, at the first
thought, I think the re-boot did all the trick. Never knew that Linux also
needs a reboot for solving problems ;-)

Thanks for all your suggestions though; they've atleast enlightened me on
what I should check before I send out an SOS.

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

Problems with booting from external USB drive

Posted: 26 Jun 2006 01:19 AM PDT

Thats a rather strange behaviour !

Tell me something:
1.Do you have an internal hardisk or not ?, give all details of your
hard disk.

In amy case do this -
mount your fedora somehow, under knoppix or something,
copy /usbinitrd.img to a temporary location,
cp usbinitrd.img /tmp/usbinitrd.gz
gunzip usbinitrd.gz
mkdir tmp2
cd tmp2
cpio -id < ../usbinitrd

now you should have a lot of files in /tmp/tmp2 directory
edit the "init" file and copy and paste the contents here,
and also list the contents of /tmp/tmp2/lib (which contains modules
loaded at runtime)
or probably you could fix it up yourself,you just have to be able to
load the usb mass storage modules before making /dev/sda1 the root
partition.
I think this is the only problem,
It boots up sometimes and not other times is really strange!
may be the modules do not get enough time to initialize your hard disk
sometimes and in between the kernel tries to mount the root patition.

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
!)
