Microsoft Word - word 2010 table of contents headings

word 2010 table of contents headings

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:46 PM PDT

Hi,all, I need to create a TOC for my word doc. After I clicked `Table of Contents` and selected a style in a blank page, I found that the TOC created includes page numbers for not only the titles for each section (numberings) and subsection (numberings) but also includes figures, tables, even the doc title, so I am wondering how to display the TOC for sections only.

Word window resizes after I "save as" pdf

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:37 PM PDT

How can I stop my Word window from resizing after I create a pdf?  I'm using "save as" pdf.  My current Word window allows me to view two pages side by side.  When I "save as" pdf, the pdf file is created as I expect, but the Word window reduces in size significantly and sometimes relocates to the upper left corner of the desktop.

My computer has a new monitor and a new video card.  Could either of these have something to do with the behavior?

Header area too large

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:33 PM PDT

The document has a table in both the header and footer, and the body of the document was also a table. Changing the alignment setting didn't work. But if I went into the table properties of the one in the body of the document, I changed the Text Wrapping from 'Around' to 'None'. The header box jumped back up to the normal amount (1/2 inch) - not 60% of the page.

Merge Errors

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:30 PM PDT

I have a very long document that contains Headings, numerous Cross-references, and a Table of Contents.  In addition, there are Merge Fields throughout the document.  Problem #1:  Once I merge and update the fields, I receive the following error message where the page numbers should appear in the Table of Contents:

ERROR! BOOKMART NOT DEFINED

Problem #2:  The Headings are not updating.  All of the Articles are now set to "Article 1". 

Please help me resolve these problems.  Thank you.

Images not embedded

I have retrieved an old WORD 6 document, but when i load it, I get this message, "This document contains links that may refer to other files..." etc.

I guess they are now filed elsewhere, for they don't appear in the document - I just get "place holders".

How can I find out exactly what files it needs ?  

Word 2013 changing Backspace input to Scroll+NextPage

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:10 PM PDT

I have one of my mouse buttons custom assigned to perform a backspace when pressed. This is useful for editing and works everywhere else, including on browsers, videogames, and other word processing software. I just installed Word 2013 and, instead of giving me a backspace, pressing the button scrolls me to the top of the next page. If I press it again, it scrolls me to the top of the following page. Even more bizarre, another mouse button I have assigned to the input "Alt+Right" scrolls me to the top of the current, and then previous page. These effects also look different from regular page-up and page-down.

I've only seen this behavior on Word 2013, so it makes me think there's some sort of command override in the software somewhere. All my other custom mouse buttons work fine. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix this? Thanks.

When I start Word 2013, I get an error dialog "the directory name is not valid" but the directory in the message is valid.

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 11:52 AM PDT

When I start Word 2013, I get an error dialog "the directory name is not valid", even though I am not trying to open a file. Furthermore, the directory name in the message is a valid one and one I have permissions to access. I have saved files there in Word and in other programs and opened them again.

I've tried removing my normal.dotm file, to have Word recreate a new one, that has not fixed the problem.

Word 2007 - inserted xref causing 'section breaks (next page)'

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 11:51 AM PDT

Been struggling to figure out why this happens in many of my documents... I'll delete the xref, re-enter, delete the section (next page) breaks and it will look alright, however, when I save or print preview it, the section breaks are back putting the xref on next page by itself, followed by another section break - putting the rest of that paragraph on the subsequent page... most appreciative of any help on this

Converting endnotes to footnotes

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:57 AM PDT

Hello!

I have tried searching for everything around this topic, but no answer anywhere. My question is simple, I need to convert some 59 endnotes in the end of my document to footnotes (at the bottom of each respective page).

How do I do this? All the convert options are greyed out when I open the Notes Dialogue, and I cannot convert anything.

Is this because my current endnotes are in placed inside [brackets]?

Thank you!

Same information in multiple documents

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:20 AM PDT

Hi Microsoft Community,

How would I create a word document that will automatically update other word documents with that information? For example, I enter their name on one and it enters it into 4 other documents. How would I do that? I am currently running Microsoft office 2010.  I tried the includetext but received errors. I am familiar with linking excel cells to a word documents.

Thank You,

Restrict Editing of image position but not image itself

Hi,

I have restricted editing using the developer tools in my word document.

Word 2010 Quick Styles Don't Stick

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 07:27 AM PDT

I've read the other threads on Quick Style sets and haven't found an answer that works for me, so I'm going to ask again hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm having an issue where some of the styles in a style set I save don't stick the next time I apply the style. I'm pretty savvy with Word: I've got Normal style set how I want it; I've made sure styles are "Based on" appropriate styles; etc. I have two different style sets I have to use, one for our customer and one internally. I set the styles, save the respective documents as Quick Style Sets, but when I close Word, reopen, and try to apply a set, some of the styles haven't stuck. This particularly happens with my "List Bullet Last" styles (i.e., last line of a bulleted list) at all levels: the bullets vanish from the style set, even though they're "Based on" the appropriate "List Bullet" style. Other style settings (e.g., Headings) seem to come through just as I've set them. Thank you.

Spell Check Stops Working on Office 2013

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 06:27 AM PDT

We have over 100 computers running Windows 7 and Office 2013. There was a recent update which caused major issues and now some of the user's are experiencing issues with the Spell Check. It does not work for the English language which is the default language. It shows as if the proofing tools are not installed. I spoke to Microsoft about this and they said it might have been related to the update and suggested to do an Online Repair on Office. I have done this to resolve the issue but now the user's who's Office was repaired are having the same issue again.

Excel import from Word: Extracting data from merged cells in a Word 2010 Table using VBA

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 03:34 AM PDT

Hello!

I have a number of Word 2010 docs I am extracting information from into an Excel 2010 document using VBA macros.

The Word 2010 document has a table in with merged cells; both vertically and horizontally.

when I run the Excel VBA macro to extract the information from the Word table I get a

"Run-time error 5991:
cannot access individual rows in this collection becuase the table has vertically merged cells."

I am pointing to the cell in the Word table from Excel using oActiveDoc.Tables(5).Rows(4).Cells(2)-  the first two rows have their first cells merged.

This cell is merged with...
...this cell
This cell has the information I want.

So... short of opening each doc and manually unmerging cells is there a way in VBA to referance rows in a Word table when some preceeding rows have *some* of their cells merged?

Any help much appreciated,

Richard

Footnote numbering style

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:37 AM PDT

I would recommend to change Numbering format listbox to match the numbering formats that are used as regular numbering - thus you could define your own numbering styles (i.e. *), *-, *.) or choose from existing, not just choose the number style (i.e.. 1,2,3/a,b,c ...). It maybe is possible to somehow change it, however I did not find way how. (or at least change the custom mark edit box to have the same functionality as Number format edit box has in Numbering format form)

Can I restrict editing of an image?

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 01:38 AM PDT

Hi,

There seem to be similar questions on here but not quite what I'm after...

I need to 'lock' floating images in my word document so that they cannot be moved or resized.

(My images are anchored to the page' not text and although the anchor is 'locked' the image can still be edited which I don't want)

I have tried the Developer 'Restrict Editing' tools but it seems that my images can still be changed - restricting editing seems to only apply to text(?).

I don't want to put the images in a header/footer for a number of reasons.

I usually use InDesign where I can simple lock and item and am new to Word so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Microsoft Word slow to open Open Dialog Box

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:44 AM PDT

Running Windows 8.1, Office 2010.  Just recently Word started to act up and when I open up Word for the first time, then click OPEN, the Open windows shows up, but it takes more than 15 secs for the window to populate with my folders.  All folders are on my local drive (not on a network drive).  I've tried disabling Norton Antivirus and then opening the Open Dialog box, but it's still slow.

After the window finally populates, if I close the window and then try again to open the Open DIalog box, there is no delay.

Any suggestions?

Macro to Pull Footnotes

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:36 PM PDT

Hi All -

First off thanks as always - always appreciate the advice given here.

Is there a macro available (or would it be possible to create one) that pulls all footnotes and preferably puts them in a table. I have documents (many) with 200+ footnotes that I want each footnote in a new row in a table. If that's not possible - at least copying them unformatted to a new document would be an okay start.

Again thanks!

Macros disappear

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:26 PM PDT

They were all stored in normal.dot.

I usually first record a dummy macro through the keystrokes and then manipulate them as I need them. Somehow, I find this a more convenient way to record a macro.

It is not only the macros that have gone. I use regular expressions, and Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5 was also in my reference list for regex to work. The reference was also gone too.

I need to know how to set up black as my default type, color. It never occurred to me that it wouldn't be.

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:20 PM PDT

I am trying to make good looking documents formatted in a specific way. Typical of my trade, which is that of a writer so I need black type using Times new Roman 12 point regular I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to communicate to write anything because I am disabled. I only have the use of one hand and all the fingers on it, so forgive me if this formatting is strange because Dragon can be cantankerous. Usually I go back and fix all the mistakes because that's the only way Dragon learns, but sometimes for emails I let it go. For my writing. I perfect, everything because I have a degree in English and a Masters degree in creative writing, but that's not the point point is to create a good-looking template and I have one on my Macintosh, so I know I can do it, but I had the same trouble with the Mac in that it was doing whatever color it wanted, but I think I've fixed it on my Mac because I've been using a Mac for about 25 years, whereas I've been using a PC for about three years so I'm not as good with it, and my writers template is not perfected so often I write on the PC move the document to the Mac formatted, then move it back to the PC. I would like to cut out some of these steps, because they are redundant, but I have been reluctant to give up my Macintosh, because I used the PC for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, although I am beginning to use the PC for most everything, including email and searching the web. But right now I need a good template set up the way that my profession requires. And of course it requires black ink. Thank you for any and all help.
Also, sometimes I pick up my email from my Mac, so I'm a little slower responding because then I have to find it on my Dell in Outlook, a dreadful program. Black is the default text color. I opened a blank page and started speaking into it and all the text was black. So I guess that is the default color, which makes sense

Need to combine several protected documents into one continuous multi-page document

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 03:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I need to combine several protected WORD documents into ONE continuous mufti-page document.

I am using Microsoft Word 200\7.  Documents I need to combine are password protected and must remain that way.

Documents were created with most recent version of Microsoft Word (but that should make no difference).

Due to protection on documents, I am unable to copy/paste identical format into new word document.

So, any ideas on how to accomplish what I need to do?  Am I attempting the impossible?

Can't see free/busy schedule with Outlook 2007

Posted: 13 Mar 2007 11:05 AM PDT

The Availability service will read the calendar directly from the store so you will want to make sure that F/B is working and that the user has information published. If you want a small test you can run Outlook /cleanfreebusy and then have that user create a test appointment so the client republished the F/B info to the store.

Hi
Outlook 2007 uses the EWS for free/busy requests, legacy Outlooks the

way your Outlook connects to the EWS. You can see this by using the eMail

Hi
you can run Exchange 2003 and 2007 in coexistence.
Of course probably will need some permissions at higher level than your
server.
Some kind of global configuration must be done for your Exchange 2007 box.
(accepted mail domains, recipient policies,...)

If you don't get the permissions at this higher level your corporate
administrators have to install at least one EMC to help you with the
configuration.

Monitor RDP connections to my exchange server

Posted: 10 Mar 2007 02:16 PM PST

The only RDP recording solution available as of today on the market is
RecordTS that we developed. If you install it on the Exchange server, all
Remote Desktop connections will be recorded and you will be able to playback
them like playing back a video (and you can even convert that to WMV, Flash,
etc). Note that we record not only the screen but actually everything
happening at the RDP level (for example if the consultant transfer files from
the Exchange server to his local PC through RDP we get that as well and can
even get the file itself).
This goes beyond the simple windows auditing mechanisms suggested (as they
cannot for example give you the files the consultant may steal, the print
jobs, etc - we do).
Note I do not see RecordTS as a replacement for everything else (event logs,
auditing, etc; it is definitely a solution to COMPLEMENT all these and that
gives you a much easier way to see what happened: watching it back, exactly
as at the moment they were working on your servers.

Check it out at http://www.tsfactory.com.

Cheers.

Word will need to be closed as a result." Then its asks "Repair now?" When I click repair now, nothing happens. Is there some way that I can manually repair it or something else I need to do? PowerPoint and Excel work as usual.

Word Crashes after nearly opening document

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:08 PM PDT

Hi there,

Thanks for reading!

I am in a bind. I cannot open a document I am working with. This happened suddenly.

There is no 'Autorecovered' file.

I have been using all the fortmatting features in Word but the file was saved as .htm

I have been working on this file for 6 months without any major issues.

When I tried to open the file today -- It crashed after the progress bar for opening the file reached ~ 100%.

Now when I try to open → "The document caused a serious error the last time it was opened"

It offers a choice to attempt to:

1) reopen which results in Word crashing after the progress bar for opening the file reaches  ~ 100%.

2) recover which extracts text regarding formatting, fonts, etc. that is essentially useless 

Any suggestions on ways to move forward?

Thank you so much in advance!

How to enhance Word 2010 Indexing Features with VBA

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:06 PM PDT

Microsoft Word 2010, Windows 7

I need to do two things pertaining to an ordinary Word index (the kind you find in the back of books):  For one,  when I "Include the selected text in the index of the document" I would like it to show up as red text in the "Show paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols" view.  Secondly, I would like to view my current index without inserting it into a document.  For example, I'm marking an entery and the Mark Index Entry dialog box is open.  I'm marking the entry as a "Subentry" but I'm not sure what I used in the "Main Entry" for other text of similar concordance.  I can open the index in my document but it would be much easier to open it in another window so I can take a quick glance at it without having to close the Mark Index Entry dialog.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish these two index procedures using VBA?

VBA to save as PDF based on ref number and date contained in a word form field

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Hi,

I created a form in word with legacy tools only.

I created a save as command button which works but it saves under a predetermined name: "safety tour".

I was wondering if it is possible to save as by defining the name of the file on the content that would be filled in by users adding the ref number and the date to the name, & & . Is it possible to ask to find the content by bookmarking the fields?

the code I have so far is:

Private Sub CBSave_PDF_Click()
' SavePDF Macro
'
'
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp\"
    ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= _
        "C:\Temp\Safety Tour.pdf", ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
        OpenAfterExport:=True, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:= _
        wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
        IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, CreateBookmarks:= _
        wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:= _
        True, UseISO19005_1:=False
        
End Sub

Thanks for your help

The certificate you selected cannot be verified. Please check your network connection. Do you want to use this certificate? Microsoft Word 2013

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:45 AM PDT

I added a signature line to my Microsoft Word 2013 document (using Office365) and with inserting the signature image I get and error message:

The certificate you selected cannot be verified. Please check your network connection. Do you want to use this certificate?

If I continue, the signature is inserted with Recoverable Signature and it doesn't date stamp the signature.

I have a valid internet connection (attested by the fact that I am creating this question) and have confirmed that tracking is turned off, since I thought this may be the culprit.

Please advise.

Field in Footer disappears when selecting Print from the File menu (MS Word 2013)

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:35 AM PDT

I have created a document with a Footer that has two lines, and six fields.  Two fields are StyleRef fields; one field is a Page Number field; one field (which may just be a placeholder) contains manually entered content; and two fields are Ref Bookmark fields. The two fields that reference Bookmarks were created in the exact same way, but behave differently when I select Print from the File menu; one remains, and one disappears from the Footer entirely.  Sometimes, along with the disappearing field, the line spacing and arrangement of the remaining fields in the Footer changes.  I tried using Cross-References instead of Bookmarks, which made no difference.  I'm not sure if the problem is with the Footer, or some wonky setting in Word Options. Does anyone know why these two fields in my Footer would behave differently, and/or how to keep the one that disappears on Print to remain?

Amount format showing in Word after a merge

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT

I produce check requisitions by merging data in an Excel 2007 workbook with a document in Word 2007 on a PC running Windows 7.  For all the similarities in both the Excel sheet's cells and the mergefield properties in Word, the second row's amount is different to the first line's result in the merged "letters1' document.  I have reformatted the entire Excel workbook, deleted and reinstated the second row of the receiving Word document, all to no avail.  The first line has 1,800.00 and the second line has 1500.  I have looked at Update Fields, Edit Fields, Sally Fields and Brooke Shields and Sanity Shields.  I deleted that line from the receiving document and saved it before reopening and reinserting that line; reinserted the specific fields and checked the aforementioned fields and shields. I have pulled seven of the three hair I have left and goofed around on Facebook.  Now I am hoping someone can help me. So many of the the online forums label their sites as applicable to Office 2007 when they are not - either 2003 or 2010.

Extra line break above table after column break

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:52 AM PDT

WORD 2013, PC...

I have 2 columns on my page, the second page starts with a table.

If I use a column break to move the table to the second column, Word inserts an extra line break which means that the top of the table is not in line with the 1st column.

I think older versions of Word allowed this to be 'Suppressed' but this feature doesn't seem to be available in Word 2013. Is there any way to remove this extra line?

(Background - I can repeat the issue creating a new document. The extra line break also appears if I do a page break. The line does not appear if there is no column or page break before the table)

I urgently need to get this resolved to any help would be grately appreciated

Thank you

When I copy a link (from the address bar) it creates 2 links on the clipboard, identical except that one includes http// in the address.  OS is windows 7, I have went through all the word options, set it exactly like the one on my old computer (XP OS still on that one).  I am at loss..

Suggestions?

Thanks

Table Columns with Track Changes

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:22 AM PDT

I recently discovered what I would call a bug in Microsoft Word. I was making revisions to a document, and as such had "Track Changes" turned on. In order to keep the document looking as intended, I was not displaying deletions.

I copied new data from a spreadsheet into a table in the document and found that it re-sized the columns of the table, despite the fact that the new data was exactly the same size as the old data, and the table was set to auto fit columns. I could find no settings that had changed as a result of the operation, and nothing would get the table to auto fit the columns back to the sizes they should be.

After some messing around, I determined it had to do with Track Changes. After manually accepting only the deletions in the table, it reverted back to behaving normally.

It appears that with Track Changes turned on, Word includes the deleted text when calculating the width of a column, even though the deleted text is not being displayed, making it nearly impossible to determine that that is the cause of the issue.

This creates a major headache, since part of the revision control process at my company includes marking changes with a bar in the margin, which Track Changes is able to do automatically. So in order to keep the "rev bar" and format the table correctly, I have to manually accept just the deletions.

Needed: a macro to update a Word Table of Contents

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 07:29 AM PDT

I create documents with tables of content often.  I then update the document with added sections, but forget to update the table of contents. 

Can someone create a macro to automatically update the table of contents (if it has one) when the document is saved or closed?

Office 365 for 6.99 a month

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 10:38 PM PDT

This is a great way for a student to get the new office program. At 6.99 a month, any student could afford that... I have had a chance to look it over and if I didn't have office 2013, I would get it! There isn't a ton of differences between office 2007 and office 2013 which I have now. It seems as though Microsoft makes subtle changes slowly over time which helps the user adjust slowly.

Position 'Figure' captions above, not below, figures

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 10:30 PM PDT

I want to insert captions above the figures in my document but, in the insert Caption dialogue box, when I select Figure as the Label, the Position dropdown is greyed out and the option 'Below selected item' cannot be changed.

The only Label options that result in 'Above the selected item' are Equation and Table ... but these are not tables, they are graphs, and in any case I want the Label to be Figure.

Missing menu in Open

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 09:13 PM PDT

I am trying to recover a document in Word 2007 after a power surge (repaired version is the same as unsaved version) and am trying to follow suggestions online, which say to use the "files of type" menu to select "recover text from any file."

Having looked at some pictures of this menu I can see that for some reason when I go into "open" I do not have a "files of type" drop down box at all, just file name, all files dropdown, tools, open, cancel. 

Any ideas how I get that menu?? Thanks!

Cannot open Microsoft Word, PPT, 2013 etc... without getting "something went wrong" error message

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 07:14 PM PDT

I have Windows 8 and downloaded the new Microsoft Office Professional Plus software a few weeks ago. It has been working great! However, I go to pull up Word documents today and I keep getting the following message:

Something Went Wrong

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

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

I went to my control panel under "programs and features" but I do not see the option to "repair" anything. Can someone that is better at this than me tell me what I need to do?

Thanks!

How to reference ENDNOTE multiple times, being linked back accurately?

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 05:04 PM PDT

How do we reference a source at the endnote of our document within Microsoft Words 2003 multiple times?

I already inserted Reference > Footnote, and I also did the Reference > Cross-Reference; everything works fine.

HOWEVER...

The problem is I want the consecutive reference that follows after the first one to a particular endnote...to go directly back to that itself.

For example:

I have reference "i" in the document going to exactly the endnote "i", then I have a second reference "i" later in the document that goes to that same endnote "i."

Doing the cross-reference for the second reference "i," clicking on it goes back to that first reference "i" before it, instead of going to the endnote "i."

While the first reference "i", if you click on it, it conveniently goes to its corresponding endnote "i", unlike the second reference "i" that goes back to first reference "i."

Is there anyway possible I can have the second reference "i" clicking on it goes directly to its "i" endnote at the end, instead of going back to its prior reference "i," (and even for a third or fourth reference "i" to do so)

Last thing, clicking on the endnote "i" goes straight back to the first reference "i", can it go directly back to its last "CLICKED" reference "i" either that its first, second, third, or fourth.

This should seem like something Microsoft should know.

This is giving me a headache for something pure logic should be able to do.

My Word does not work

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 04:31 PM PDT

I have downloaded Office 2013 (several times).  I uninstalled my older version of Office.  I uninstalled Abbey Reader.   When I try to use Word I get this message:  "We're sorry but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.  Word will need to be closed as a result (it had never been opened).  Would you like us to repair now?"  There are three options at the bottom...Repair Now, Help, Close.  I click "Repair Now" and nothing happens.  What do I have to do to be able to use Word?  By the way, all the other Office programs work perfectly.
