| Posted: 30 Jul 2014 02:36 PM PDT I have recently purchased and installed Office 365 for windows on my new laptop. I installed the French version the first time by mistake and then logged in to my account and downloaded the English version however, the Word is not working at all. Everytime I click on the application it gives me an error message saying that Word had encountered a problem and needs to close then give me option to eith "repair now" help or close. When I click on Repair nothing happens. SO I have not been able to use Word at all since I purchased the Office 365 in April 2014. How do I rectify this problem? |
| Word 2013 - Does Not Keep "Office Theme" Color Settings Posted: 30 Jul 2014 01:37 PM PDT Word 2013 reverts to the basic white theme when closed and restarted. The dark gray theme is selected prior to closing the application.
Does anyone have any idea why is it not remembering these settings?

| Posted: 30 Jul 2014 12:52 PM PDT How do I include a logo in our default return address on envelopes? I am running Windows 8.1 and word 2013. I use to be able to do this by using autotext, but word 2013 does not allow that. What can I do to include our logo? |
| MS Word 2013 Automatically Prints .doc Posted: 30 Jul 2014 12:17 PM PDT I'm running Office 2013 on a Windows 7 machine and I'm finding that when I try to open .doc files (by double clicking or right clicking and hitting open) that Word opens, then immediately sends the document to the printer and closes out. I have tried checking/changing the default program, but Word 2013 already IS the default and Open With doesn't change the result. I have no issues with other MS Office products. I have no issues with .docx files. And no other computers with the same OS and programs on the same network have this issue. Any thoughts? |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2014 11:54 AM PDT When I try opening a Word document, a box comes up that says "Convert File" and "Convert file from". On clicking the highlighted box "Encoded Text" and enabling the Windows (Default), coded text appears. How can I get a Word file to open in a readable, normal format? |
| Office options do not appear in Program list Posted: 30 Jul 2014 11:24 AM PDT Running Windows 7 and Office 2013 Home edition. I just added Outlook to this suite, subsequently unable to open any Word docs. I reinstalled Office Home. The only way I can access Word/Excel/Powerpoint is to open an existing document and the New. It does not appear in the Program list from Start Menu.Whilst it works, it is irritating, can anyone offer some advice. My computer skills are basic! |
| Compatibility issue - opening Word 2010 document in Word 2007 Posted: 30 Jul 2014 11:20 AM PDT Hi, I am collaborating with a colleague on a document that includes graphics. I am using Word 2010, and she is using Word 2007. I used the 'wrap text' function to get text around one of the graphics, and it seems like when she opens the file in 2007, the formatting of the text gets messed up around this graphic. However, I ran a compatibility check, and no issues were reported. Does anybody know what the issue here might be? Thank you. |
| Having Issues using mail merge in MS Word 2010 including different images Posted: 30 Jul 2014 09:34 AM PDT I am using MS Office 2010 (Access and Word) which this problem references. I have a table within an Access database with data and included image files. I have been unable to effectively create a mail merge in Word showing the images merged. I always get the alphanumeric value of the image file (i.e., 151C2F00)) I have tried everything unde the sun searching on the web and from within this MS community forum using INCLUDEPICTURE, but to no avail, have been unsuccesful. Is there any help available for this type of merge? |
| How do I automatically start a blank document when I launch Microsoft Word 2013? Posted: 30 Jul 2014 09:11 AM PDT When I double-click the Word 2013 and launch the program, it shows me a gallery page with various templates and designs. But I don't want to see this. I just want it to start a blank document from my normal.dotm template (when I double-click the Word icon). Is there a way I can set change my options in order to do this? |
| Microsoft Word 2007 - Opens differently for each user Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:58 AM PDT Hello! One user updates a Microsoft Word 2007 template and saves it to the shared drive. The next user opens the document on the shared drive and the layout is NOTHING like the original document. How can one document be completely different on 2 machines that are set up the same? Everyone has Microsoft Office 2007 and Dell OptiPlex 980SFF computers. Thank you for your help, Heather Murdock |
| Pasting in landscape into a document in portrait Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:54 AM PDT Pasting a table in landscape view into a text document that reads better in portrait view: This may have a simple solution, but I have struggled with this for 2 days. I am having trouble pasting a large table that reads better in landscape view without changing the entire texted document to landscape as well. This is a report that needs to have the table as an appendix, not as an attachment. Can someone point me to where Windows 7 with new Office 2013 download has instructions to help me with this? |
| How to recover data from or repair a corrupt Word 2010 file Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:34 AM PDT I created a password-protected Word 2010 doc at work, brought it home using a flash disk, tried opening it using Word 2007, and it won't open. The annoying thing is, it doesn't even present me with a password-entry box. Word runs, but flat refuses to open the doc. I have the password, but what bloody good is it when I'm not presented with the password-input dialogue? OpenOffice Writer yields no joy, and WordPad tells me the document is either 'Corrupt or protected under Rights Management.' NotePad opens it quite willingly, and I see frequent references to 'encryption' that look coherent, with large blocks of text that did look so. Winzip says the file is 'not a valid archive', which an unencrypted Word 2010 file should be a valid archive. Is there anything I can do to recover this file? |
| Mail Merge problem: Excel data with ROUND function retains decimals in merge Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:17 AM PDT BACKGROUND: I work at a school where we provide learners with a detailed list of how their personal marks makes up their term percentage in each subject. For this, each teacher uses their Excel spreadsheet with the marks and the Mail Merge function in Word. Lots of the marks need to be processed e.g. a 60 mark test will end up contributing only 10 marks towards the total - thus we use a lot of formulas. When this data is used in Word's Mail Merge, it obviously shows these processed marks with loads of decimal places. To prevent that happening, the teachers use the =ROUND(number, num_digits) function in Excel. This works great for all the marks we round down to 0 decimal places - the merge fields in Word shows the whole number without decimals. However, when we round to 2 decimal places, the merge field in Word shows the 9+ decimals of the original number (as if the ROUND function wasn't used at all). This even happens when one copies the column in Excel and pastes it as values, then use the values as the merge field! (e.g. I see 7.26 in the cell in Excel, but the merge field displays 7.26000000009). To solve it, I have been formatting merge fields with the \#0.0 switch, but that is definitely not an option for any other teachers - doing mail merge by themselves already took years to accomplish! The problem lies somewhere in the integration between Word & Excel and I just can't find the source. I can email the documents to anyone who wants to have a look. |
| Word File Corrupted - 'file cannot be opened because there were problems with the contents.' Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:01 AM PDT Hi there, A word document I have been working on for some time at work has been corrupted and whenever I try to open the file I'm greeted with the message, the file cannot be opened because there were problems with the contents. I was working off my pen drive the entire time and I believed I saved my work before the power cut off to the laptop I was working on but having tried to open it today and encountering this problem I can only imagine that it hadn't saved properly when the power cut out. The word recover function pretty much deletes all my work that I had done and reverts to a point where there is pretty much no work on the document. All of the processes I have done so far i.e. opening it in open office, word pad or extracting text just makes a massive line of code 900 pages long! It would be fantastic if someone could help restore this work! The file is here if anyone can recover the majority of my document! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5U-GYMlYXxbbEZVVW5jY2hkYlAzVHhQUk11VkNjNG91aHYw/edit?usp=sharing Thanks in advance, Rob |
| How do I fill all address boxes in label template with same information? Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:25 AM PDT I am using MS Office 2007, Word 2007 on Windows 7. I am creating plant labels to print. I am using the Word label template from Avery. I can tediously click each label and paste the plant name into it but would like to "fill" the page with all the same name with ease. Can I do that? Can you explain how? Thank you. |
| Working with forms/form fields Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:10 AM PDT I have a document that requires several Names throughout the document. I have about 30 names that can be used at any one time. Can someone tell me how I can select a specific name from a drop down list and then have that same name populate throughout the document. Thanks much!!! |
| Field Codes - DocProperty, ListNum, & IF Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:25 AM PDT My company uses a automated document program which takes separate word documents which the end user selects and plugs in the corresponding info (address, names, etc...). Previously the documents would always include a cover page which I would be able to add a hidden field value to start off the numbering of the documents within. This is no longer the case due to the cover page is now no longer required and I have been beating my head against the wall to come up with a solution. This is what was done previously. The user would enter a value in the program that would be assigned to the DocProperty field code, 'LastDocument': { LISTNUM CUSTOMLIST \L 1 \S {DOCPROPERTY "LASTDOCUMENT"} }Custom list, level 1 and starts at user input (LastDocument) From there I would only need the enter { LISTNUM CUSTOMLIST \L 1 } on each of the documents the user could select and the numbering would pick up from whatever value the user selected based on the hidden field code above. It worked great! Looking for a way to have all documents work off a numbering scheme based upon a users input indicating which number to start with (VBA is not an option at this time). Not sure how I would put this into a field code; IF { LISTNUM CUSTOMLIST \L 1 \S {DOCPROPERTY "LASTDOCUMENT"} } = { DOCPROPERTY "LASTDOCUMENT"} then { LISTNUM CUSTOMLIST \L 1 } +1, or something like that. Maybe have {DOCPROPERTY "LASTDOCUMENT"} equal the start of a SEQ, not sure how though. |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:09 AM PDT When I try to paste a document to Word, I receive a message telling me that Word is not working properly and it is shutting down, and I will receive information when it is receives from Microsoft - this never comes! Should I remove the program entirely and reloads Windows 365? Or is this yet another glitch in a very glitchy Window 8.1? I am SO fed up with this program. Sheila Lloyd |
| Office on iPhone - why aren't web hyperlinks in Word docs visible? Posted: 30 Jul 2014 04:34 AM PDT Hello, I'm currently using Office with OneDrive and have several Word docs on my laptop with web hyperlinks embedded in the text. Just downloaded Office for Mobile on the iPhone platform as I need access to these docs on the move, yet when I load them up on the iPhone the web links seem to have disappeared - the original text is there, but with no hyperlinks. Is this an error? Or does Office for Mobile not support hyperlinks in Word docs? |
| How do you erase attached pages to word doc? Posted: 30 Jul 2014 04:03 AM PDT I just updated my resume using the newest word.

| Word 2013: can't center text within table cells Posted: 30 Jul 2014 02:58 AM PDT When I insert a table into a Word document, I want to center the text within the cells. But when I click the 'Align Center' button in the Alignment area of the Layout ribbon, it shunts the text so far to the right that half the text disappears from the cell altogether! The same happens if I press Ctrl+E. I can see no obvious reason why this should be so. It happens in every document in which I insert a table, so it's not a one-off. It's rather annoying, to say the least. Anyone got any ideas? |

| Level 2 is not showing a "Restart at 1" function. How to fix? Posted: 29 Jul 2014 11:25 PM PDT I am currently working on this document with the following style below: 11 Services to Franchisee's Borrowers 11.1 Services Contract (b) The Franchisee may enter into a Services Contract with the Franchisee's Borrower and any prospective Franchisee's Borrower. (c) The Franchisee must not enter into a Services - What happens is each time I hit the right click on (b) to start it at (a), 11.1 changes to a different Style and is no longer bolded. I have temporarily came up with a solution of 'manually' making the adjustments however, the same concern is happening on all my other files which I have already previously submitted. Please assist, anyone. If the file that I am working on needs to be looked at I am fine emailing it to you Cheers, |
| Word counts that won't display on the file list Posted: 29 Jul 2014 11:17 PM PDT Yes, I can open the file to get a word count for every chapter individually, as I finish them, but ideally the counts are displayed in a column in the base folder for the book. The column is not a default but is easily added via the "View" tab. Sometimes the column "Word Count" displays a proper word count next to the file name without issue. In these cases, a rt+click on the file to the properties tab shows a matching word count on display. Sometimes the column "Word Count" displays nothing at all. In these cases, a rt+click on the file to the properties tab shows a blank entry next to the word count. My question is how to reliably make Microsoft Word (2007) properly display word counts on all files at all times. Glance guesstimates on word count progress can be incredibly helpful for large projects like books. I've tried opening the files to make them re-tabulate a word count to then save them again, but that does not work. The "Word Count" column remains blank even though the counter inside the document seems to be working properly. The occurrence of blank vs. properly tabulated "Word Count" columns seems utterly random. |

| Can not start Microsoft Word Starter 2010 (sftldr_wow64.dll is missing) Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:55 PM PDT Hello, The last time I was able to access Microsoft Word Starter 2010 was April 30th, 2014. Since that time, I receive a WINWORDC.EXE System Error which states, "The program can't start because sftldr_wow64.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Over the last several months, I have tried a number of recommended solutions on this site, but nothing has worked. I attempted to repair the program by selecting 'Change' for "Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - English," but that didn't work. I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall Office Starter 2010 by clicking Microsoft Office 2010, but instead of receiving the "Use Office Starter 2010" option, I get the "Try Office free for a limited time" option. The Microsoft Office programs I have installed on my computer are "Microsoft Office 2010," "Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010" and "Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - English." I had to use another website to reinstall Office Starter after uninstalling it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! |

| Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:27 PM PDT Hi. Here is my question. Both my husband and I share a computer. When he gets email with an attachment in Word, the attachment opens up and is easy to read/print/etc. When I get an attachment to my email in Word, I get the message:" Microsoft Word has stopped working" and I cannot open up the Word Attachment. How do I solve this problem? Thanks SP |
| Thesaurus in Word Needs Improvement Posted: 29 Jul 2014 05:20 PM PDT I love how MS Word has a thesaurus. It's easy to activate; highlight the word then type <shift+F7>. But the depth of synonyms is paltry. I might want another word for paltry, because that has negative connotations. If I go to Word's thesaurus I get: measly and worthless. So if I am really struggling with a concept I have to go to www.thesaurus.com. Once there I find that "limited" is a pretty good word. It doesn't really have the negative emotional response one might get from "measly". So, I have a suggestion for Microsoft: buy thesaurus.com. I'm not sure that it would give them the "best bang for the buck" because I'm wouldn't know where to begin doing cost benefit analysis. But I do know that "bang for the buck" has 7 synonyms on thesaurus.com and none in Word.
