| Word 2007 is suddenly taking a long time to load and close Posted: 25 Jul 2014 11:27 AM PDT Hi, Windows 7, Office 2007 At some point in the past year, Word 2007 started taking a long time to load. I wasn't able to deal with it at the time, so trying to pick a restore point won't work. I also tried to do a repair in Control Panel > Programs and Features, but that didn't help. I wondered if someone knows some common problems that causes long loads for Word. Obviously load speed is all relative. The point is that it used to load in a particular amount of time, now it takes about 4 times longer, as if it is searching or checking for something and having to make other decisions during the load. It takes a long time to save and close as well. I wondered if the template setup could be a factor. I had created a different template some time ago, but the slow down didn't seem to occur at that point. I do notice, however, that in the My Templates view none of my templates have a preview available. Could that be an indicator of a wrong setup somewhere? That wouldn't seem to be the issue, though, because it's slow on close as well. I guess finally, are there system issues that affect Word differently than Excel or PowerPoint which load very quickly on my system. Are there caching settings or swap file settings that might have an impact because some other programs are taking up too much space in memory. What's the quickest way to find out if Word doesn't have the same amount of memory it used to have, or more specifically, how much memory does it normally need? Would I need to restrict system tray or other startup programs to help the problem? Thanks in advance for any ideas. Best Regards, Alan |
| Protected document - selecting exceptions Posted: 25 Jul 2014 11:02 AM PDT Hello, I follow allow-changes-to-parts-of-a-protected-document. I have several exception parts I want to select in the main document, and I do so by holding the Ctrl key down while dragging the mouse over the several areas. This works, but the problem is I also want to select an area in the document Header. To edit the Header, I need to double-click it to put it in Edit mode. This removes the selected areas in the main document that I have already selected. Is there a way to select areas in both the Header and main document at once? I wish Word had a better way of editing the selected exceptions because it is too easy to make a mistake holding the Ctrl key down and there is no way to removing a selection once you select it. Thanks,

| Custom cover in Word not saving background colour Posted: 25 Jul 2014 10:21 AM PDT Hello, I've been trying for hours now to create a custom cover for a business document, and where I've used numerous online guides (which all give the same information) down to the T, my saved cover always lacks the background colour. I have a picture on a black background and want the background (page) colour to match; I then use red text for the title and white for the company name, but when I try to insert the cover into a document, the black picture and red text is there, but the black background and white text are not - I'm only seeing the black picture on a white background! By then trying to change the background colour, I change the entire document to black, rendering my black text throughout the document invisible! I tried closing and re-opening the program but nothing seems to help. I'm using an official 2013 Office pack and cannot figure out why my Word is acting this way... it's all so straight forward aside from this incredibly frustrating background colour glitch! |

| Create Indented Table Style/ Troubleshooting Posted: 25 Jul 2014 09:03 AM PDT Hi, To create an indent to a table style in word 2010, I am under the impression that the paragraph->Indentation section will always set the indentation for your table using that style (see image below). However, I have found this works only sometimes. I am not sure why the table is not indented by this feature. I ask because I have already created a document using this table style and hope to modify the existing style, rather than create a new one and manually apply it to each table in my document. Thanks

| "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" Posted: 25 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT I'm using Word 2013, and I'm trying to permanently enable "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style".
I've tried the following:
* Open a blank document > Ctrl+Shift+S > "Modify" (keeping Normal as the Style Name) > "Format" > "Paragraph" > Checking "Don't add space ..." > Toggling "New documents based on this template" > OK. * Same as above, and then saving the blank document. * Open a blank document > Clicking the arrow in the "Paragraph" section in the "HOME" ribbon > Checking "Don't add space ..." > Clicking "Set As Default" > Selecting "App documents based on the Normal.dotm template?" > OK * Same as above, and then saving the blank document. None of the methods above worked. In all cases that ridiculous space-adding functionality is still enabled. Opening the saved blank document *did* work, however. So I guess I can start using Word by opening the blank document and then saving it under a new name. But isn't there a working method of circumventing this functionality? Why isn't Word doing what it's saying it will do?

| How to Update Table of Contents Without Losing Cross-References? Posted: 25 Jul 2014 08:35 AM PDT I'm writing a technical document template where sections may be added or deleted during the review process. Is there a way to update the table of contents without losing the cross-references - OR - can you easily convert the table of contents to cross-referenced links without individually selecting each heading and manually inserting links? I would think MS would have a solution to this. Thanks! |
| Can you copy or move a hyperlink without losing the link Posted: 25 Jul 2014 07:47 AM PDT I have a document in Microsoft Word 2013 that has a "table of contents" created but has the Item, then a bunch of tabs and then the Page/Section. I want to clean it up by putting the information into tables but find that if I create a table and try to copy and paste, or move the wording and link, I lose the link/bookmark. Is there a way to maintain the link/bookmark and be able to move it to another area of the document? I have also tried to convert the text to table but all of the line goes into one cell. It appears that whomever created this "table of contents" linked the entire line. Example: Item Page/Section Cover Sheet i There are tabs between the Cover Sheet and i. That entire line is linked to a bookmark in the document. It works as is, but just want to clean it up. Any suggestions? |
| Spell Check & Word 2007 Posted: 25 Jul 2014 06:40 AM PDT Hi, Occasionally, during spell check, I misspell a word that either no correction comes up or the correct one isn't in the list (say I type Tio instead of "to"). Currently, I get out of spell check, correct it and start over. Is there a way to retype the word without getting out of spell check? |
| Word 2013 - Windows Security screen "pop-up" Posted: 25 Jul 2014 06:24 AM PDT I have been using Word 2013 since September, 2013 without problem until yesterday. When opening an existing or new document, a "Windows Security" pop-up appears which indicates it is "Connecting to office.microsoft.com" and asks me to "Enter my credentials (User name and Password)". My Domain is DELL-PC. I tried inputting my MS Account ID and pw back that did not work. I cannot resolve this problem. I didn't even know I had "credentials". Why has this occurred suddenly, did I inadvertently do something to cause this problem? I have no problem with MS Excel 2013, only with MS Word 2013. My wife also has a MS Account on this PC and she does not have the same problem with MS Word 2013. So, I am able to do my Word 2013 work under her account for the time being. This appears to be a MS "glitch". Any suggestions?

| [ISSUE] Freeze on Word 2013 (while inactive for 5 min) Posted: 25 Jul 2014 01:57 AM PDT Hi, I'm using Word 2013 x64. It works great really smooth.
But while i'm editing a document if I switch to chrome (for exemple) and come back 5 minutes later on my document the document is frozen.
I mean : The word's windows appears, i can click on actual content, but i cannot naviguate (scroll) into it or modify the content.
Only the document is frozen because I can close the windows (it ask for saving) and then I restart it's ok but again if do anything else for 4-5 minutes it freeze.
I have already tested to disable hadware acceleration I just checked my update everything ok. I don't think it's related to my hardware : Windows 8.1 x64 i7 8Go RAM 756Go SSD (is it possible that because there is no more cache on it, maybe it cause the issue ?) Thanks (I activated notification on thread) |

| Delete Custom Bookmarks Posted: 24 Jul 2014 11:35 PM PDT ah yesterday I found a thread about delete certain bookmarks but not others in a document, and today I cant find it. ? Anyway, I am after a macro that will delete all custom bookmarks from a document but leaving the built-in TOC/Xref/etc bookmarks. The customer bookmarks all start with the same letters, i.e. ABCD, but then have a variable combination of numbers/letters. So a macro to delete all bookmarks that all start "ABCD" woud be very handy. Many thanks |
| Bug Report for Word 2013: Document Recovery panel disappears after enabling editing mode Posted: 24 Jul 2014 10:03 PM PDT Hi, I have a bug report for Word 2013, I hope this is the correct place to do it. The scenario is this: 1. After a crash with several open documents, I open Word for this first time since the crash by opening a new document that starts in 'Protected View' 2. At this point the Document Recovery panel is opened and showing several documents 3. Clicking on 'Enable' to open the document in editing mode, removes the Document Recovery panel and it does not restore again. There is no option to reach the recovered document since the crash unless finding the folder in which they were stored and manually opening the .asd files. |
