Microsoft Word - Changing bullet and number defaults

Microsoft Word - Changing bullet and number defaults

Changing bullet and number defaults

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 02:50 PM PDT

I have tried the "Cntl-Shft-S" option and always crash Word and selecting "modify"

Went to blank document (the only one open), Home-->Paragraph Dialog Box --> made desired change, selected "Set as Default" for all documents.  It doesn't take!!!  Every time I have a bullet list with indented bullets, the setting changes to enable "Don't accept space ...".  I've tried several slightly different approaches but nothing works.  

This is a major annoyance since I use lots and lots of lists with bullets and indents!!!  SUggestions?

Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 02:44 PM PDT

This is similar to what is happening to many others.  

Last night I turned on my computer and went to open Excel and received the following message


Something went wrong

We couldn't start your program.  Please try it again.

If it won't start, try repairing Office from "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel

I tried the control panel fix and it did not work.  

I have started my computer again this morning but am still encountering the same problem. 

Unable to update Microsoft Office Home Student 2013

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 02:21 PM PDT

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me out here because I'm finding this really frustrating.

I recently purchased Microsoft Office Home Student 2013 and installed via the Office website. Problem is, using this method corrupts my menus. Shame really because I like the idea of having the latest version deployed when I go to install.

So, with corrupt menus, I tried installing the IMG file which I downloaded through the Office website. I mounted this in Windows 8.1, installed and my menu issue was resolved. Problem with this is, no matter what method I try (and I've went through a lot of possible fixes suggested by various websites), I cannot get Office to update. I've tried disabling/enabling updates, tried Microsoft's suggestion of running a fix, tried re-installing and some other stuff; all without success.

Anyone any experience of this issue that could maybe offer me a solution?

Regards,
FF

Embedded fonts in template dotx strange behaviour

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 11:01 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a dotx template document in which a font is embedded. This font is not installed on the computer which is why it is embedded. I do not understand how Word handles it because I have two different behaviors. I can reproduce the problem on Word 2007 and 2010 (don't have any other version). The dotx file is on my desktop.

  • CASE1: I double click the file which opens a new document docx based on the template. The font embedded is displayed in the Home > Font drop down. However the font is not applied in the document and seems to be replaced by one supposed to be similar.
  • CASE2: Right click on the document and then select open which opens the template itself and do no create a document.
    • The font embedded is displayed in the Home > Font drop down AND the font is applied in the template. 
    • I then do a "Save as" word document (docx) and the the document has the correct font used.

I do not understand why the font is not applied in CASE 1 even. This is not a show stopper as we can use the document instead of the template but I am worried this hides something else.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Transfer a Numbered List format into a Style

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 10:22 AM PDT

How do I take a defined multi level list of numbers and change it into a style?

There is NO way I can find to start a 'blank' style and then add the numbering so I used the multi level list numbers.

Ultimately I want to 'secure' the template so no stray code enters.  In a test, the multi level numbering button is grayed out.

Dropdown Box to Populate table

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 10:18 AM PDT

Hi All, 

I am looking for a way to populate a table, with many fields with text, based on what option I select from a drop down list. 

For example, I have 8 different types of services, and when I click on one, I want a table to populate these fields based on what I clicked on. 

I am relatively inexperienced with everything and I want to know how this can work, or if there is an example anywhere. 

Thanks

Automatic links are not updating

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 10:09 AM PDT

Hi, I have a few word documents with links (paste spesh...paste-link) from an Excel file. On my machine it all works well, on my colleagues, it doesn't!

This isn't a newbie question, I have correctly changed the source to reflect the file location on his machine, and I have checked the setting in Options...advanced...general.

And if I select all and click F9 - it all works correctly, but it won't update automatically when I open it.

Any ideas?  I'm stumped!

Microsoft update bug that deletes Word from computers

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 09:14 AM PDT

My last automatic update deleted Word and Explorer from my computer.  I wasn't concerned about Explorer, but I needed Word.  I had installed Microsoft Office last year, and the rest of the program was still there; but when I tried to open my documents, I would get the error message "sorry, something went wrong and word was unable to start (24)".  In looking at online posts about this error message I've found that the same thing has happened to other people.  None of them received any solutions from the Microsoft team, despite trying various fixes.  This software is not cheap; so, for Microsoft to accidentally delete it from someone's computer, and then not offer a solution, is pretty frustrating.  The only option seems to be re-installing Office using the product key, but what about those of us who have misplaced our keys?  I bought the software a year ago.  I've been looking for the key and can't find it.  I tried to fix the problem using system restore, quick repair, and then online repair.  I didn't realize that when I clicked on "online repair," it would uninstall and re-install the software.  So now I have access to Word, but only for 6 days, and if I can't find my product key by then Word will be inoperable.
So, what do I do now?  And what is Microsoft doing to fix this bug?

Trouble with bookmarks and formulas in MS Word 2010

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 08:14 AM PDT

I work for a research institution in the finance department, specifically in the  3rd party funding department.  I am responsible for a very large project

which has 16 external partners.  Each partner must prepare a proof for our financial backer showing how the funds were spent.  The form must be sent to all of our partners.  The problem is neither Excel nor Word are exactly suited to our needs.  The form has a lot of text (think a tax form).  The form must fit on standard sized paper and have different sized tables on one sheet (which is why I can't use excel, no merging cells won't work as it won't make standard sized tables).  So when I try to set up a table in Word I keep having the following problems:
1) The table won't calculate correctly.  I get a "syntax error".  What's extra frustrating is sometimes it works, some times I get the error.  It's really irritating. 

2).  When I try to transfer data from one table to another, I set up a formula and reference a bookmark.  Then randomly Word deletes the bookmarks?  That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I am seriously at my rope's end.  I need to know how to set up a document in excel on a standard size piece of paper that would look something like this:

Table 1: 3x4

Table 2: 5x4

Table 3 4x4

Table4 8x18

Table 5 8x18

Or tell me how to set it up in word so that the formulas don't screw up at random, the table auto calculates (a macro would be super), and for Christ's sake the bookmarks don't disappear on me.  Seriously microsoft you find ways to make my blood pressure rise every day.

All Office 2010 applications Crash while trying to print

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 08:08 AM PDT

I am having a similar problem with my MS Office 2010 programs (PPT, Excel, Word) not being able to print.  I can print from other applications.

I have tried the suggested fix of changing the default printer to MSFT XPS, but whenever I try to print from Office, the program goes to (Not Responding) and stays that way forever, until it kill it.

The process I'm trying to use is File > Print (button) but no dialog box ever shows up to allow choice of printer.

Word 2010 - fillable form

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 07:44 AM PDT

I have created a word 2010 form (picture below). I want the user to be able to enter text within the text box and have the text box resize to fit as much text as they put in. I have selected the Autofit selection and can get the text box to resize, but I need the text below to move down accordingly. Can someone tell me how I get that to happen.

Text labels for fields in Word 2010

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 07:26 AM PDT

Rather than leaving a blank space in a document template where the field result will go (and rather than having the full field code show up in the document) I want to be able to place a label in the text, eg [client name will go here], that will be replaced with the field result when the field is updated. I know this can be done as I can see it in use in other document template being used in the company I work for, but those other templates were created for us by a third party and I have no idea how they did this. Any suggestions?

Paragraph replacement works not as expected in Find and Replace

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 06:22 AM PDT

Hello!

I wanted to make super-fast text formatting, but got some difficulties and now can't solve them. I've found some articles I needed, worked with them in plain text editor and separated titles with additional line break beween previous and next paragraphs.

Then I tryed to use find with following expression:
(^13^13)([!^13]@)(^13^13)
and replace with following:
\2 (also, I wanted it to be formated as Header 1) I realised that previous and next paragraphs also turn out to be headers.

I didn't loose my optimistic attitude at that moment and decided first to replace what I wanted with ^13^&^13. Finally when I again tried to use formatting I got everything the way it was before, but with additional paragraph breaks. That was surprising. Finally, when I opened the Outline view, I realised, that added by Find&Replace paragraph breaks do not work like the independent paragraph, but like the manual line break.

Could you please tell me, how I can cope with the situation?

Beforehand thank you.

Office 2013 right-click menu weirdness

Bullets formatted differently on first page (2013)

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 05:28 AM PDT

I created a document that has multiple levels of bullets/numbers. For some reason, the formatting of the bullet/numbering is different on the first page only. I look at the paragraph settings and it appears to be the same; however the spacing between the bullets/numbers and the words is clearly different on the first page than the rest of the document. 

Numbering highlighting

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 04:17 AM PDT

Somehow Word came with the idea to highlight 1st level numbering using black color.

How can I change the highlight color of numbering? I cannot find that option in the Font dialog...

Thanks,

When saving a specific document, Word 2013 won't let me, saying it's "locked for editing by another user".

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 02:29 AM PDT

Every time I open and edit one particular document (although it has happened on other documents as well, though not frequently), and I edit it, when I save it, Word says it's "locked for editing by another user" -I'm the only user/editor of the document. It also lets me "know" when the document will be available for editing, meaning, when the other "user" (which is me!) will stop editing. But it never happens; the document is always "locked for editing by another user".

So the only way around I found is saving the document with another name (namely, I only add a character of the alphabet to the end of the name). But the problem resurfaces every time I open the "new" document, having to save it again with another name (that is, changing the last character with a different character of the alphabet, the next in line). Afterwards I delete the "old" document. But the problem persists over and over again, every time.

How can I stop this cycle? How can I keep the document not-locked for editing for the next time I open it?

Thanks for your help.

Insert Citation Gallery Macro

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 10:33 PM PDT

Hey guys,

I've been trying to make the 'Insert Citation' galley popup for the user to make a selection through the use of a macro,

Problem is, try as I may I cannot get the darn thing to open up or produce any response.
The code I currently have is the following:

    CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=384).Execute

Which, unfortunately gives a RunTime Error '91'

(It is of note also that simply running the 'InsertCitation' Command from the 'Word Commands' menu in Macros produces no result either)

Additionally there doesn't seem to be any 'InsertCitation' or 'CitationInsert' Object when searching though the Object database in VB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

-Tristan

Use a CommandButton to Add a New Row to Word Form

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 10:18 PM PDT

I am trying to use a command button within my Word template to execute a macros that will add a new row to a table (13 columns, each cell has a content control).

I've used the code found here: http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples_2.htm

However, I'm receiving an error when I test the button (runtime error 5941). When I debug, it's highlighting the following line as the error:  Set oTable = Selection.Tables(1)

Any suggestions on how to fix the code for my use case?

Office 2013- Something went wrong- I've been unable to open/start Office 2013 since 7/13

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 09:34 PM PDT

I have not been able to use Office 2013 since 7/13. Not sure when the problem started , since I had not used it for a few days. On 7/13

 and 7/14 I saw numerous posts from people with similar problems, some advising that this is also a problem in Europe. Have not found a good solution. Tried system restore back to 6/30/14. NG. Saw a post saying that updates on 7/10 were the problem and advising to uninstall  them and disable automatic updates. Did that, but many of the 7/10 updates kept reinstalling by themselves. Also saw a message from a Microsoft Moderator asking each person with a problem to start a separate thread in order to get a private, individual response, which is why I'm writing.

What's the problem and, most importantly, what's the solution.

Keyboard shortcuts refuse to die when told

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 09:25 PM PDT

Hi folks. I have an .dotm add-in containing about 20 macros. It also contains two other macros that let my users enable or disable a set of keyboard shortcuts for these macros as needed -- that is, only in specific documents. (The shortcuts commandeer some commonly used built-in key combinations, so I want them enabled only when a user explicitly allows it.)  I've done this successfully before. But on this file, for some reason, merely loading the add-in enables the shortcuts -- in all documents.

 

I've confirmed via the Customize Keyboard dialog that these shortcuts are *not* enabled in the .dotm itself, but I've also explicitly disabled them via code just in case. I've unloaded all other add-ins and had Word rebuild the Normal template to verify they're not hiding there either. I'm sure they're living in the add-in somewhere. (When I unload it, they go away.)

What could be causing this?? There are no automacros in the file, and the shortcut-enabling macro (see below) isn't called by any other macro. All shortcuts are set with the Customization Context shown, the active document. (not Normal or ThisDoc).

 

Sub KM1(mac, k1)
CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument
KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(k1), _
   KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, Command:=mac
End Sub

 

Sub KM2(mac, k1, k2)
CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument
KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(k1, k2), _
   KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryMacro, Command:=mac
End Sub

 

Sub EnableShortcuts
KM1 "LengthenLine", wdKeyF4
KM1 "ShortenLine", wdKeyF5
[...and so on...]
KM2 "SelectPrevPair", wdKeyControl, wdKeyF4
KM2 "SelectNextPair", wdKeyControl, wdKeyF5
[...and so on...]

 

Thanks for any clues.

Converting objects into contiguous file

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:55 PM PDT

Greetings,

I opened a one-page file, then attached a succession of one-page files to it. What I got was a series of objects that want to edit in individual files, on top of which, the last object in the file shows me two pages when I edit it, but only the first page when I view the concatenated file. What I want is one contiguous file that has no objects in it. But I can't find a way to convert the separate objects into what amounts to running text. And I can't see that last page in the concatenated file. Any way to do this? Thanks one and all.

DOCX files do not have thumbnails, BUT some DOCX files do have their thumbnails

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:32 PM PDT

I have a problem where thumbnails for some DOCX files are not showing.

I have found that unless those DOCX files without thumbnails are opened, then saved as using the DOC extension, and then opened again to be saved now as DOCX, then the DOCX thumbnails work.

All other thumbnails (such as DOC, PPT, etc.) are working. Even PDF!

Actually, I just found out that DOC files converted to DOCX using the CONVERT button on the WORD 2010 SAVE Menu (to be sure, it's the button that to its right shows the following: COMPATIBILITY MODE. Some new features are disabled...) does not seem to create thumbnails. And definitely windows explorer does not show the thumbnails for files converted using this feature.

Furthermore, when you open a DOC file and save it using the SAVE AS menu to change the DOC extension to DOCX, then the thumbnails work.

In Excel we find a slightly different behavior, when XLSX thumbnails don't show, it's a matter of simply using the SAVE AS XLSX on the same file, and once it's saved, the thumbnail works. This does not happen in Word.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Depends on whether you are also making changes to Users, Roles and/or BU's.
Since all of those also impact AD, a restore could result in AD beign out of

What is your desired goal here? If you are removing CRM, than why would you
want to keep the router installed? If you re-install CRM later, you will still
need to re-install the router afterwards. And, depending on how complete your
unsinstall is, the SFO clients may need to be reinstalled as well.

Does CRM have a Microsoft Project like add-on?

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 11:11 AM PST

Bill,

We utilize SharePoint as a PM tool. It does not have all the wonderful
features of Project, but we found Project too cumbersome to jockey with
for managing projects ( though more complex and long term projects are
suited for Project 2003 in my opinion). We have integrated the PM tool
with MS CRM. The SharePoint tools utilizes some great web parts for
project and project task roll-up views ( ie - My Projects, My Project
Tasks, etc) as well as others for an overall nice UI.
We are looking to finish productizing this over the next month or two
and will be adding it to our Effective CRM Suite for MS CRM -
www.customereffective.com which includes two free downloads for the MS
CRM community.

removing user license

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 08:37 AM PST

Dave,

You can do this directly in SQL if you want, but you need to be careful.

First, make a backup copy of hte SystemUserLicense table. Then, look at the
SystemUserBase table to get theSystemUserId for the affected users. You can

decreasing performance when SQL in mixed mode

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 08:23 AM PST

Changing between Windows Only & Mixed Mode shouldn't have any impact on your
performance. Have you been able to verify that it really is this setting that
is causing the problems, or was it just coincidence?

Because of different reasons (a mailmerge Add_on and the server is

The performance of the CRM server is going down dramatically when you
do that.

Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks, I got it to work now. There where some issue with the report so I
recreated it. Then I used the following code:

<%
if(Request.QueryString("oType")=="1")
Response.Redirect("/reports/viewer/html/viewer.aspx?id=1425&promptex-Account="+Request.QueryString("oId"))

I saw a previous post stating that we must all post our own issue so that we can have a direct message sent to us to fix it.  I have tried a couple of times yesterday and today to open previously created excel and word documents and have received the following messages:

There was a problem sending the command to the program.

When I exit out of that box, I get a message that says:

Office is busy.

We're sorry, excel.exe can't be used right now because office is busy.  We're either updating or helping you add or remove programs.  

You can try using excel.exe after we're done.  It shouldn't take long.

Please help, I am trying to create cover letters and send in job applications.

When I exit Word 2013 (using Windows 8) I get a message that changes have been made to the global template, and a prompt to save or discard them.  

I have found guidance on this issue online, most of which directs me to disable add-ins in Word.  However, I have no active add-ins (I checked by clicking the two Add-ins options on the Developer tab.  I also checked the Startup folder at C -> Users -> Andrew -> AppData --> Roaming --> Microsoft - Word --> Startup and the folder is empty .

Any other guesses as to what might be the culprit?  I just ran a full system scan using my Norton AntiVirus software and it didn't come up with anything.

Spell checker not working in Word 2013

Any tricks?

Office Won't Open

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 07:51 AM PDT

We recently purchased Microsoft office  with Word 2013.  It has worked until a couple of days ago.  When I try to use it it says:

There was a problem sending the command to the program.

Then another box says:

Office

Something went wrong.

We couldn't start your program.  Please try starting it again.

If it won't start try repairing Office from Programs and Features in the control panel.

I tried repairing it, but it said I needed a disk which I don't have since it was just downloaded online.

I don't know if other parts of Office are working.

Rtf file works in Word 2007 but not in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 06:10 AM PDT

A client sent me an rtf document to edit. When I use Word 2007, there is no problem. But when I try to use Word 2013, all the apostrophes (and the letter next to the apostrophe) as well a number of the quotation marks are changed to Chinese characters or question marks. Some of the sentences are broken up and divided into random paragraphs with letters missing and spaces added.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening. The file is fine in Word 2007 (I checked) but not Word 2013.

I greatly appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me.

Thanks

Is it possible to create a Header and Footer Template that will be available to choose from the list of pre-made Header and Footer drop-down list options every time I use Microsoft Word?

I am trying something out for our invoices at work. Currently when we save them from our accounts system they are in PDF format and I want to convert them into Microsoft Word to be able to add our Company Logo. However as this will be done on a regular basis I want to know if there is a way I can create a Header and Footer 'template' that will be available to select from the list of pre-made options every time I use Microsoft Word to quickly add the information and Logo I require.

Keep Text Only option of Cut, Copy Paste not working

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 03:36 AM PDT

I have my default paste option set to keep source formatting for cut / copy paste within a document.

I have noticed that when I use the Paste smart tag to change from this default, match destination formatting works fine, but keep text only does not.

Keep text only is working in the same way as match destination.

Example, two paragraphs of text. One paragraph set to red font. Second paragraph set to blue font, italic. The document default is black font by the way.

When I copy the blue italic paragraph and paste it at the end of the first (red) paragraph, initially it shows blue italic. When I use the smart tag to choose Keep Text only, I expect the pasted paragraph to be black font, no italic. It comes out red, no italic.

I tried setting my default option to Keep text Only but it makes no difference. I have tried this on many different documents, with many different format combinations, it always pastes like match destination even if I say Keep Text Only.

I have also tried this on a test account to see if it was my personal Word settings that were wrong, and the test account behaves the same as mine.

This problem only seems to have started after an upgrade to Windows 7 from XP.

Any ideas please?

thanks KK

Word2010: Document Skewing PLEASE HELP

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 02:54 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you can shed some light on a NIGHTMARE I'm having with MS Word 2010.

Everytime I open a document on my computer the tables are skewed and aligned to the right.

On ALL other computers this is not the case and the tables are aligned centrally.

I can align the margins manually, but when I save and exit the document, the skewing returns.

I have "repaired" MS word to it's default settings.

I have deleted and created a new template (norm.doc ?).

I've checked my printer and driver settings and all are okay.

I have checked the margins and paper sizing.

I really have no idea what else to try...  Have any of you seen this?  As I said, the document appears FINE one every other computer, except this one...

Thanks in advance...

Cheers.

Excel table has engulfed all text in a document

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 01:45 AM PDT

This morning I had a 74 page document. I added an appendix in the form of an Excel table by pasting it below a new heading. When I saved the document all of the previous 74 pages disappeared. When I open the document now it says there are only 4 pages (the table). When I highlight the heading it says there are 10690 words in the title. If I delete the table from the document the heading no longer has the 10690 words in it. and only the 10 words of the title remain. How did this happen and how do I get my document back?

Serious problem in documents with track changes: text disappearing, formatting haywire, etc.

Posted: 14 Jul 2014 12:03 AM PDT

I am encountering serious bug-type problems in Word 2013 on both my laptop (Windows 8.1) and my desktop computer (Windows 7). It seems to happen only when I work with documents that have a lot of track changes. At first, only text in the comment bubbles were affected—the left quarter of the text was cut off. Then more problems started happening. The cursor wasn't lining up correctly with the text both in the comment bubbles and in the regular document text. Then formatting went haywire. Nothing was where it should be and the font size enlarges 5 times. Now, large sections of text are gone and entire pages are blank. In the latest 33-page document I'm working on, every single page has gone blank. If I close it and open it again, things seem normal until I start working with it and something sets it off and it goes nuts again—for example, if I start working with automated table of contents, spell check, or track changes in general.

It doesn't matter if I select all markup, simple markup, or no markup views. Shutting down Word (and even shutting down my computer) doesn't help. Reverting back to restored versions of the document doesn't help, either—the problem then begins to happen in previous restored versions even though it wasn't happening when I was working on those previous versions. I had a couple of add-in programs, which I've since uninstalled. Uninstalling those add-in programs has not made any difference. If anything, the problem has worsened. The only thing that works is switching to my husband's computer which has Word 2007. The document goes back to normal and is in perfect shape.

This problem has happened to me with the last three documents I've worked on in the past two weeks (July 2014). I only started working with Word 2013 in early June 2014 and I hate it. I'm usually an early adopter and can adapt easily to change, but this is not working for me at all. I am an editor and I depend on Word every day for my job. It's infuriating that I purchased this thinking it would be an improvement. I can't function professionally with this problem.

Other problems I've encountered with track changes in Word 2013: 1) Comment bubbles that are attached to deleted text don't appear in Word 2013 but they appear in other versions of Word. This is a major problem if clients are seeing comments that I can't see. 2) It's difficult to see exactly where a change has taken place, even in the All Markup view—there is simply a dotted line hanging over the text that turns solid over the spot where a change has taken place. It's ridiculous and nearly impossible to notice.

Open Word 2010 documents in a separate process as default.

I have a requirement related to developing a word 2010 add in which creates ActiveX controls like buttons. On clicking of button , a modal UI is opened onto which user can enter data.

How to get rid of annoying "Click-to-run configuration failure"

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 07:50 PM PDT

Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I installed Office 2013 a year ago.  I have set the default program to open Word and Excel files to the 2013 version.

However, when I try to open a Word file from Explorer I get the "Click-to-run configuration failure".  I can right click the file, and choose Word 2013, and it will open fine.  I have to right click and choose even if Word 2013 is open.

For Excel, if I try to open a file from Explorer, I get a message that "There was a problem sending the command to the program".  Then a popup box comes up saying that the specified program does not exist.  There is an error code 463604A-0B211004-00000A09.

I can open the file with Excel 2013 by right clicking on the file and choosing Excel 2013.  Once 2013 is open, the files will open with the program OK.

How can I get these programs to open the files automatically?

Letterheads in Word - two questions

Posted: 13 Jul 2014 06:43 PM PDT

I have two questions about letterheads in Word 2010. 

1. for years I've had my letterheads in a file (doc and docx).  To write a letter with my letterhead, I open the letterhead doc, "save as" with a new name, and then write the letter.  (I have more than one copy of the letterhead file because from time to time I forget to save as a new name, and overwrite the letterhead.)  I was told that a better way to do it is with a template.  So I saved my letterhead as a dotx file.  But from my point of view, I have to do the same thing - open it, save as, etc.  Is there a better way to do a letterhead?

2. I want to insert a date in my letterhead file and have it "update automatically" to the current date when I use it.  But after I save it to a new file, I don't want it to update the date if I read that file in - I want it to keep the original date.  Is there an easy way to do that?
