Microsoft Word - Repeat Table Rows

Microsoft Word - Repeat Table Rows


Repeat Table Rows

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 02:45 PM PDT

Hello everyone,

I created the table below and I'm having an issue with repeating rows.  In the table below, each of the numbered lists is its own style.  I would like to be able to hit the tab key after filling out the bottom row and having all three rows repeat, with the next number in the sequence.

Currently if I hit tab, it simply adds the bottom row with the number 2. in the column, without the two mini columns above.  If I highlight both rows and select Insert below on the Table Tools Layout ribbon, it still only adds the bottom row.  The only way I can have all three continue numbering at this point is to copy the two rows and paste directly below the table.

Is there anything I can do, maybe a table style, that will allow those rows to continue?

Hanging indents & tab stops

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 02:26 PM PDT

I find it perplexing that even though I zoom in so that the hanging indent is widely separated from the tabstop on the ruler, trying to grag the hanging indent (upward facing triangle) causes the tab stop to be grabbed instead.  I don't seem to recall this behavioural "feature" in Word 2003.

Markup toolbar won't go away

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 02:25 PM PDT

I am using Word 2003 on Windows 7. I have a document which originally had no tracked changes. Tracked changes was disabled, and I inadvertently clicked on View -> Markup. Since then, the document keeps opening itself with the Markup toolbar in "Final Showing Markup" view. The review pane is empty. I even tried enabling tracked changes, do a modification, disable tracking and accept it with no effect. The document keeps reopening in Final Showing Markup view.

I don't want to disable the security setting about hidden markups, this is a feature I am using for other documents. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Why does Word 2010 change my Body definition?

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 02:15 PM PDT

I defined the Body paragraph style to have no underlining.  I have two instances of this paragraph.  I selected the 1st paragraph and underlined it.  I then selected the 2nd paragraph and underlined it.  Thereafter, any paragraph to which I apply Body to becomes underlined.  I did not define Body to be underlined.  Is this a case of the software designers concluding that they will simply assume that the Body definition should be changed if all instances of that style have the same augmented formatting?  If so, is there a way to turn off this feature, which is based on a very ill-founded assumption?  It's one thing if Word can be configured to not respect your style definitions, but quite another for this to be baked into the default behaviour.

What The F.... (FONT, that is, what did you think I meant?)

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 01:58 PM PDT

WHAT THE FONT (WTF) ???

I have text highlighted which is clearly not Times New Roman, but it shows up as such in the ribbon.  I never experience this kind of confusion in Word 2003.  What might cause this (aside from the obvious answer, which I won't get into out of a sense of attempted professionalism in this forum)?

Word 2007 on Windows 7 spontaneously stops working and recovers

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 01:58 PM PDT

Recently Word stops working when I am in the middle of writing.

It recovers itself and saves the document even thought at times it misses the last lines.

I haven't installed anything in this computer except for Windows updates.

I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2007.

If I do that I assume I won't lose any of my Word documents but just to make sure please confirm.

Ideally I would rather know what the problem and fix it instead of uninstall and reinstall that I have no clue will work to solve this.

I have Office Home and Student 2007.

Thxs.

Product key not accepted

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 10:59 AM PDT

Since I bought my "Desktop Computer," Home Premium HP Pavilion HPE Series, from Navy Exchange, San Diego Naval Base Station, I always experienced problems, but they always tried to fix what ever the problem was. They never gave me the original Microsoft program disk, and I don't know if the one I'm using is the "Original Program," or not? Every time online asked me the "Product Key" no, I always gave:  <Product Key removed by Moderator>. They don't accepted it and said it's a wrong number! Sometimes, I talked to the Store Manager, and she always sent me back to the same person to fix it, but never solved the problem.   What is the best thing to do to correct this product and function smoothly? Please help!

Reduce File Size with Graphics

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 09:37 AM PDT

I'm a fairly new Word user and I use graphics in my Word 2010 documents. I like to use .emf files because they are so much sharper then .jpeg or .png or other filetypes. I also use them because they are searchable in Word. Unfortunately, they can be huge files, and in turn, the Word file is huge as well. I've been reading that it is best to link these .emf files as opposed to embedding which I understand. Usually I have a separate folder for Art and Text. Would the .emf files need to be in that Text folder with the document if I linked them? Are there any other ways to reduce overall file sizes? Any help would be much appreciated! :-)

Phantom headings appearing only for me

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 09:24 AM PDT

I am seeing extra headings in Microsoft Word Documents that others are not. For example: There will be the title "Section 2 - Findings" and then below we will start with 2.01 - Background Between the heading (Section 2) and the "2.01 - Background" section, everyone else sees nothing (just a new line). I see: "Section 1 - Section 2- 2.01 background" This is for the entire document. There are all of these phantom headers that no one else sees except me, even when working on the same document. How are my viewing options different? Thank you in advance.

Below in red is the issue. If I delete those, it changes the entire document. No one else sees anything in the red when editing the same document, so if I change those everything changes. Also - if I delete them, and then 'renumber' the 2.08 bullet, the blank section headers will appear. It's essentially a placeholder that's usually invisible but for me it is not. Any ideas? 

Office 2010 - default font colour

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 07:49 AM PDT

I upload files of text to Amazon Kindle (I write them in Word, convert them to HTML and then upload).  I must write main body text only using default settings – ie with no 'forced' settings as to e.g. alignment, font colour, font size etc.  My problem seems to be with font colour. It must be set to 'Automatic' (so that if a reader chooses a dark background the font colour will adjust automatically) but the Kindle people tell me that, by the time my files arrive with them, the "Automatic colour option is pointing to red color; please let's make sure," they say, "the Automatic option points out to a black color".

 

Using the font dialogue box I have checked that the font is set (by default) to Automatic, and the colour in the box is black, so can anyone please tell me what more I should be doing?

 

Thank you.

Single file writeable on multiple computers.

Posted: 22 Aug 2014 07:43 AM PDT

I was recently working on a Word.docx file within a network, another computer was also able to open and edit this file at the same time, as well as being able to save over any changes i had made- Rather than opeining a read only copy. This situation also happened the other way round, but then returned to the normal situation whereby one is read-only and the other editable.

Any ideas how this may have come about? 

Thanks in advance.

Macro to Automatically Format/Setup Table

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 11:19 PM PDT

Hi All -

This is very related to: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/macro-to-pull-footnotes/abac18f2-5f5b-450c-9d4a-665bfe56ac16?tm=1408426605539

I decided to set up a new question since that one was indeed answered. After researching a bit we've decided we can't move to excel which is really unfortunate. That being said - we're hoping to automatically create the table completely.

So what we have (thanks to Doug!) is that the macro below takes out each footnote and creates a basic table.

What we now need is a more complex table - same principle just more rows and text involved.

Example is here: https://drive.google.com/?pli=1&authuser=0&ddrp=1#folders/0B2kdRhc960qdTVIyR0duakN3OFE

So each footer would have exactly that pattern -- including those empty rows (or just text). Basically we have to do a very intensive editing of law review articles so this is our way of tracking.

The original code which pulls footers out and creates a basic table is below:

Dim afn As Footnote
Dim docsource As Document
Dim doctarget As Document
Dim rngtarget As Range
Set docsource = ActiveDocument
Set doctarget = Documents.Add
With docsource
    For Each afn In .Footnotes
        Set rngtarget = doctarget.Range
        rngtarget.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
        rngtarget.InsertAfter afn.Index & vbTab
        rngtarget.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
        rngtarget.FormattedText = afn.Range.FormattedText
        rngtarget.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
        rngtarget.InsertAfter vbCr
    Next
End With
doctarget.Range.ConvertToTable
With doctarget.Tables(1).Borders
    .InsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
    .OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
End With

Thanks in advance

Word 2010 only allows a certain number of sources per citations when titles are suppressed

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 08:11 PM PDT

This seems like a bug in Word, but I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong before giving up.

I want a citation with the format (source1, source2, ... source10) but without the titles since that makes the citation much too long (and is inconsistent with APA formatting) so I suppressed the titles on the citations. However, as soon as I suppress the title for the 9th source, the 9th and 10th source disappear and only the 1st 8 are displayed. Re-adding the last two sources doesn't change anything, and nothing changes when I add them in manually by changing the field codes either.

To be clear, my field code looks like this when I edit it manually:

CITATION Goo81 \t  \m Hsu85 \m McD91 \m Wex92 \m Goo92 \t  \m Cai94 \m Bro95 \m Goo98 \t  \m Goo01 \t \m Adl06 \l 1033 

Goo01 and Adl06 are not showing up in the Word doc, and switching the order proves that this is not specific to any of the sources in particular

I this just a bug? If so, is there a work around, like getting Word to suppress titles by default and being able to have more than 8 sources in a citation? Or not having parentheses around every citation?

Microsoft Word: How can I enforce protection only the left column?

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:12 PM PDT

My document have 2 columns, I just want to enforce protection (only allow filling in forms) in the left column, so I can freely edit the right column.

Here comes the problem:

I use 'Select section' protection

I've tried continuous break to create a section for the left column but.... the right column I wanted to be freely editable jumps down, it doesn't on the right anymore (I think it is because the section break marks the end to the column part of the document)

I'm getting crazy about this :( Can anyone help me? Thank you guys so much!

Delete a watermark from word 2010 document in VB.net

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:13 PM PDT

I am trying to delete watermarks from several documents, I recorded a macro to see how word did it, but it only works for the one document 

i get an error on this statement saying that PowerPlusWaterMarkObject171755447 cannot be found

oWord.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes("PowerPlusWaterMarkObject171755447").Select()

can someone help--this is the entire macro

        

        ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Select()
        ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader

        Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes("PowerPlusWaterMarkObject171755447").Select()

my vb program has:


    Dim oWord As Word.Application
    Dim oDoc As Word.Document

        oWord.ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Select()
        oWord.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader

Help with IF statement in Word!

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:10 PM PDT

    00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00 0.00 0.00 Additional comments?

Above I've included an example of what I'm trying to accomplish with my IF statement....

I have named the following cells in the table: (I have more cells below these ones named accordingly Starttime2, 3, 4, etc.)
Start Time = Starttime1
Lunch (out) = Lunchout1
Lunch (in) = Lunchin1
End time = Endtime1

Regular Hours = Reghours1

Reghours1 computes the total hours worked in a day =(Endtime1-Starttime1)+(Lunchout1-Lunchin1)
This works fine, but I want it to cap at 8 hours, so that I can write another formula in Overtime Hours to calculate anything over the 8 hours.
So if you work 11 hours in a day, I want regular hours to cap at 8, and if it's less I want it to still calculate.

In Excel, I would write =IF((Endtime1-Starttime1)+(Lunchout1-Lunchin1))>8,8,(Endtime1-Starttime1)+(Lunchout1-Lunchin1)).... And then Excel would correct my probably incorrect use of brackets, and give me what I want. However, this seems to be much more complicated in Word. I've read several different help articles, but alas my underpowered CPU in my head isn't capable of solving the puzzle.

Any help would be appreciated!

How to change text orientation in an existing Word 2010 table on Windows 8.1 computer?

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 02:17 PM PDT

I have an existing table in Word 2010 in which I need to change the text orientation within the cells.  (I need to drop the text down to be in the lower section of the table's cells).  I have been using Windows 8.1 for almost 2 years and I'm still struggling.  (Struggling with Windows 8.1 and the Windows 8.1 "support" sites - which I have never, ever found what I needed!)   I've searched Microsoft Windows 8.1 Support, but apparently my issue is too light-weight for them.  (The responses I get don't even remotely relate to my question - but I get a list of technical references that also have nothing to do with my question either!)  If I go to Word 2010 support, I get directions to use the "Format" tab.  But, as we know, Microsoft 8.1- in its infinite wisdom - has done away with the "Format" tab and I can't find the equivalent commands hidden behind any of the pretty pictures Microsoft 8.1 developers have seen fit to impose upon us.  

Please, excuse my negativity!  I should have asked this question before becoming so frustrated!

Microsoft Office 365 Home will not launch, re-install or uninstall (with the tool)

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:47 AM PDT

This is not so much a question as it is a "Hope you don't have to gather all of this information yourself" type of post.

This problem started with not one Office application launching.  So, I tried the following, none of which worked:

  1.        On-line repair
    1.       Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Programs and Features
    2.       Select the Microsoft Office program
    3.       Select Change
    4.       Select Online Repair
  2.        Re-install from the account page … I kept receiving and error telling me to check the internet connection and the disk space.
  3.        Uninstall Office using Add or Remove Programs … the dialog would not even launch
  4.        Remove Office 2013 with the following tool (Microsoft Fix It) … would not work.
  5.        Then, a little more research suggested the following in this order (General Troubleshooting for Installing Office 2013 and Office 365):
    1.       Disable antivirus and firewall
    2.       Used AVG PC TuneUp 2014 to optimize the registry, delete temporary files, empty recycle bin and the internet cache (I relocated mine (USERTEMP and WINTEMP from my SSD to a disk HDD to remove a TON of read/writes to my SSD).
    3.       Reset Internet Explorer settings
    4.       Stop the Print Spooler
    5.       Start IE without Add-ons (Start -> All Programs –> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
    6.       Reset Task Scheduler:  Component Services -> Task Scheduler.  Make sure the Startup Type is Automatic … re-start your PC (really, every time you begin a new software installation you should always reboot first, then install)
    7.        Create a new Windows User Account which is classified as Administrator (more about this in a second)
  6.        Manually uninstall Office

Believe it or not … this did not work either.  So, I called Microsoft (As a sidebar:  Good luck finding that telephone number.  I'd post it here but the moderators would remove it immediately so what's the point in that.  But, to give you a clue … if you ever want to get Microsoft's attention … discuss your problem with the presales/billing department … you'll get routed in the correct direction … double quick) and spent the next 3 hours watching the first level tech perform all of the previous steps again.  Then, came the real surprise, no matter which account we attempted to use … all of them with Administrator privileges, we could not delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common\Office node.  This is where the poor man gave up and pushed me to level two … to be received in 24 hours or less.  I couldn't wait that long.  So, another quick Google (well Bing since this is an MS Forum) …

yielded a tool from SysInternals called PsExec v2.11 which is available from Microsoft here.  The magical command is as follows:

 

psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe

 

After deleting this registry key (as well as all of the previous steps included … I could then use the Microsoft FixIt Office Uninstall utility … which completed … with the most beautiful dialog I've seen in a long time … something like Microsoft Office 1-Click Installed successfully (or something like that). 

Finally, after eight hours of trial and error and tech support calls … I could re-install Office 365 Home and get back to programming some .NET.

Word document printing woes

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:21 AM PDT

Let's try this again...still looking for a solution to my mysterious blue rectangles that are appearing on my printed Word document.  First of all, I am running Windows Vista and 2007 Office.  These blue rectanlges DO NOT appear on my screen...but they sure are appearing on the paper.  Right down the center of the document two and three rectangles.  I tried asking this question yesterday and got one response with no answer.  I had previously posted on another thread which was older and was told to post my question....so I did.  She said there are technicians who will help or at least try to.

My printer is new...ink is full...room mate prints with it and doesnt have a problem.  That's what makes me think it is something in my document somewhere. My margins are set to 1" all around, 8 1/2x11 paper, and portrait.  All of this is set the same in Word and printer.  Also, there are no funny symbols showing up when I do show/hide...just "h"s on every line.  I am assuming that shows where i have hit enter.

File size variations in Word 2010

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:17 AM PDT

I am working with a 3-page Word file that has 3 graphics in it. It's 1.9 Mb with graphics and 1.7 Mb without graphics, so the graphics are not causing a significant file size difference. The document is based on a customized template.

If I paste the text into a document with a Normal template, the size of the file without graphics goes from 1.7 Mb down to 20 Kb. Since the only difference is the customized template, is this what is making the file size larger that I would expect? Is there any way to use the customized template and reduce the file size of the Word document?

Thanks,

Susan

Repeatedly missing headings in word 2013

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 09:20 AM PDT

Whenever I use any heading style in my word 2013, it gets missing after I close that particular word file. It is getting very annoying to press ctrl+shift+S every time I re-open that world file (since I am writing up my dissertation) and re-enter all the missing headings I used before. Is there any other way to permanently keep these headings?

Word: Restrict table styles but free cell justification

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 08:03 AM PDT

My teams need to chose when a column (Cell) is right, left or mid justified, but I need to establish some table style limitations. Have made my own table styles, but I find whether my own or a built in table, all cells seem to be fix justified and the restricted ribbon commands are not available for override. Anyway round this? Its a deal breaker at the moment: text left and mid cell used, digits to right. 50% of reports are tables that can't remain linked.

I am in 2010 docx (some in the team have 2013). No sway with IT, and low user skills, so this has to be a macro-free docx solution rather than a dotx.

How may I convert old Q&A files so can read/print in WORD?

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:39 AM PDT

In my old computer have the old Q&A word processing program.

The files will open in WORDPAD, however their original format is lost.

How may I convert these Q&A word processing documents into WORD 2003, OR any readable format?

All assistance will be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you for your time.

2013 office professional pro version using Windows 7.0 - re: signature lines

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:16 AM PDT

I went to the help area and it said to do this:

Click on Insert, click on arrow next to signature line, click add signature services.

Well, there is nothing there that saying anything like that.  So how do I make

a line above the word Signature:        Date:

and make it stay so that people can sign and date the documents?

Word got crashed before saving.

Word 2013 crashes when saving a file to desktop

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:42 AM PDT

About a week ago, Word 2013 stopped working for me. Whenever I create a new document, after I click save for the first time and choose the document name and save location (local), if I dare save the same document again, word becomes unresponsive and hangs. After force-closing and restarting the program, a message appears saying that the "current document could not be found" and then that the same document could not be opened.

When checking the folder where I saved the document, two strange files (lock files?) appear.

IF I close the document and exit word after each time I click on "save, and open it again, the bug doesn't occur.

I've attached screenshots of the series of events.

Steps I have taken to try and solve the issue:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2013.
  2. Use Microsoft's FixIt tool for uninstalling Office 2013 and then reinstalling.
  3. Restoring my system to about 1 week ago, before the problem started.
  4. Installing Office 2010 because I got tired of the bugs. (Same bug happened)
  5. Manually modifying and/or deleting registry keys as some other community posts suggest may fix a similar problem (backed up before, and restored the registry after it did not work).

Additional information:

  • I haven't installed any new software that could cause the symptoms.
  • I keep my computer up to date with automatic windows updates (I sense this might be the culprit).
  • I run BitDefender Antivirus 2015 to protect my computer, and do regular scans.
  • My operating System is Windows 8.1. This is a new computer I've had for about a month, so the installation is "fresh".

Thank you for your help and time. I greatly appreciate it.

Please tell me if I could provide more information that could help pinpoint the problem.

Diffferent Margins for Different Pages, Word Doc, Word 2007

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:28 AM PDT

Dear Community,

I need to create a longer Word Doc -- with the the first 5-6 pages having sides Margins of 1.8 each.

Then -- I need the next 5-7 pages to have side Margins of 1 and .7.

Then -- I need the last 5-6 pages of 1.8 each.

I'd also like to change the Top and Bottom Margins for different pages in the same Doc.

Why?

I write direct mail, and must deliver a single copy deck -- for a series of mailings -- all with different dimensions.

Right now, I change the margins to write -- to make sure my Copy fits.

But when I deliver -- I go back to standard margins.

This makes all my perfectly constructed copy look sloppy.  Breaks from one page to the next don't look right, etc.

I would like to deliver a Doc that is more WYSIWYG -- What You See Is What You Get.

For any advice, I would be forever in your debt.

All the best,

Mike Castaway Rhode Island...

Unable to use any Office 2013 applications

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT

I just installed Microsoft Office 2013 and after several installs, uninstalls and finally getting it activated properly none of the programs allow me to scroll or even type.

On Microsoft Word I can't type in anything, nor scroll through previous documents I already had. The same applies to PowerPoint as well as Excel, as they are the other programs I have tried!

If anyone could help me that would be great!

How to edit deletion in restrict editing mode?

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:08 AM PDT

I searched through 4-5 pages using the prompt "restrict editing" and some appropriate fillers, but could not find an answer. Please help!

I have a document where editing has been restricted. I have deleted some text, denoted by it becoming red and having a strike-through. However I cannot restore the text by deleting part or all of the deletion. I tried simply using the delete key and also toying around with the reviewing pane. 

The fact that I can delete an insertion makes me think there must be a way to delete a deletion. 

Thank you!

Word 2010 slow to open documents imported from another computer

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:08 AM PDT

Word 2010 takes a really long time (2-5 min) to open some documents. The problem seems to mainly occur with documents created on another computer. For instance if I bring files from work (created in 2007 on a network location). It doesn't matter if I email them to my home computer or transfer them on a USB. Once they are on the home computer I would expect them to become local documents. But the following happens:  when I try to open  documents, the Word 2010 splash screen opens and says "Contacting: \\NETWORK\Network\xxxx\xxxx". This then changes to "Contacting: \\NETWORK" (NETWORK being the work location).

So Word is trying to locate the directory where the file was created. Why is it doing this and is there a way to stop this happening? As I mentioned above, the file is now stored locally on the computer. Why doesn't it recognise this and open documents in a few seconds like it does with documents produced locally.

I thought the problem might be a click-to-run installation. So I uninstalled this and reinstalled Office with the full installer. Problem still happening.

Multilevel lists and TOC - I want "Introduction" to appear in TOC, but not to be given a chapter number

Digitally Signing a protected Word document.

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 04:58 AM PDT

I have created a document with fillable forms. I need to retrict the editing to only these forms and not the rest of the document text. I also have a signature line that needs to be digitally signed by the one filling out the form. However, when I start enforcing protection, the abilitiy to digitally sign the document goes away.

I have tried inserting section breaks and restricitng editing in all sections except for the section with the signature line, but it did not work. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I am trying to find the format tab in MS Word (365) because I want to turn on my auto indent so that the first line of a paragraph indents! I have searched for most of the night looking for a way. I've gone through a couple dozen pages off the net and can find no way to do it? Everytime I start a new paragraph, I have to hit the tab button...there HAS to be a way, right? Is there a way to just click on something and perform an easy task?? Please help me, thanks!

I tried everything from registry keys for foreground app, to changing folder view.

nothing has worked. please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it!!

Text orientation when printing on an envelope

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 01:20 AM PDT

Hi

I want to know how to get the text orientation right when printing on a DL-sized envelope in portrait. I set the document and texts in portrait but the output was still off. It looked fine in print preview but I couldn't get the output right.

Say if I want to put the address in the centre of the envelope, it looks fine in landscape. But when I tried to print it out in portrait, some of the texts went missing and out of place. In other words, the texts went to the top of the envelope as they were in landscape position.

Though landscape works great, I want to make it portrait cos I don't want the envelope to get jammed every time.

It'll save me a lot of hassle if this problem gets sorted out. Thanks in advance!

How to give the user an option of pages of inserts or a single references to a website

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:43 PM PDT

I'm creating a very large form on Word 2013 (Window 7).  It is a syllabus to be used for our faculty.  I'm stumped on several items.  I'm hoping that someone can answer these.  (I'm a lay-person who isn't saavy with macros and coding.)

1)  I want to give the faculty member the choice of either inserting a reference to a website OR the pages and pages of dialogue, re: University rules.  I was thinking that I may be able to use a checkbox except that the 2nd choice is the hundreds of words.  Any ideas?

2) I also want to give the faculty the ability to add additional rows in the same format as the preceding rows. I want to restrict editing to filling forms because we want the syllabi to look uniform throughout the school.  How do I restrict editing AND permit the addition of rows.  In this case, faculty will add rows to a table with the dates of the class, the topic to be covered and the reading.  Some professors may only want 10 lines. Others may want dozens, depending upon how specific they wish to be in detailing the daily topics of the course.

Is there a way to do that?

3) Finally, I'm having trouble setting the font so that the form instructions are always in blue yet when the content is entered, the content is black.  It also seems that the form keeps switching to Times New Roman instead of Calibri (my preferred font).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dropbox for iPad Office Suite

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:34 PM PDT

Dear Microsoft. 

Can we just have the ability to open and save files in Word for iPad internally from dropbox? I am not going to jump though hoops to open and save files. I am not going to pay another company to sync my cloud services. I am not going to switch over to One Drive. I just need this one feature and my $99 a year subscription is yours. 

Is anyone else else with me?

Open File After Publishing to PDF opens file from Cloud in Webapp rather than default PDF app

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 07:54 PM PDT

I run Windows 7 and have the OneDrive app installed so I have a local copy of my OneDrive files. If I open a Word document from my local OneDrive folder and then Export it to PDF, with the "Open File after Publishing" box checked, I'd expect a PDF file to be created in my local OneDrive folder (and updated to the Cloud), and then I'd expect the PDF document to be opened in the default .pdf app. Instead, the document is opened from the Cloud in a browser, in a Word Online page. It is not the Word Webapp, because I can't select and edit things, but the menu bar contains buttons to Edit in Word or Download as an Acrobat file. Is there any way to get back to the functionality of Office 2010, where using Save & Send to PDF/XPS would open the resulting document in Acrobat, and from the local folder?

Word Templates and autofill

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:08 PM PDT

I am working on some templates and I want to be able to have the same template for every location.

I know this is possible but I don't know how to set it up.

I want to have a template - such as a letter or memo that can be opened up and have the office address automatically populate.  I've seen this and used it before.  I worked for a place that had their templates in a centralized location and then when you opened it up, it asked you for your office location.  Then it would open with the correct address fields and phone numbers filled in.

Is that done in word or through another programming software?

Thanks for your help!

You should get yourself some decent UPS tools if you are interested in power

how to use two monitors with two Video card on Linux box?

"somez72" <com> writes:
 

Hi.
 

OK.
 

It is not entirely clear what you want to do. I can think of three
scenarios.

1. You do not use X, and you want to have two monitors, and you
can login at either of them. I am not sure how to do this.

2. You do run X, and you want to have two entirely separate X
running on each monitor. For this, you need two keyboards/mice.

3. You want to run only on instance of X, but you want it to span
both monitors.

What do you want? I suspect #3.
 

If #3, then look for the "Xinerama" extension on X. Very likely
it is part of the default install. You just need to enable it
and to tweak your x-config file.
 

Depends which scenario you want.
 

Then you most likely want to use #3. Go to http://www.tldp.org, then
choose "HOWTO", then select your preferred format, then search for
"Xinerama".
 

You too.
