Office 365 (Word Problems)

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 11:24 AM PDT

I just purchased Office 365 Personal two days ago.  I have loaded it on to my desk top computer (Windows 7- Home Premium.  All applications work very well except Word.  Every time I open Word and attempt to make any selection of the templates, I get the following message;  "Microsoft Word has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". The entire program (365) closes.  Never got a solution.

Please help.

Office Word 2013 will not center text on custom size page

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 11:06 AM PDT

I bought Word 2013 in May 2014.  Now I want to center text words 

on custom size paper.

It will center the text on 8.5x11 inch paper but not custom.

My printer (HP) company has check the printer and it is fine.

I am not very tech savy and centering text on custom sizes is the ONLY special

task I want to accomplish.  No two sided printing or other stuff.

Can you give me step by step instructions????
Yesterday I spent over 6 hours trying to get help by phone and got hung up on

5 times, went through at least 10 representatives and the last one said I must pay

$99 to get help for one month.  

All I want is the Word to work for one "extra" function, it is only three months old.

Needless to say, I am extremely unhappy with Microsoft. 

I think I have Windows 7 but it maybe 8.....I just got the new computer in May 2014.

Macro to create CSV in MS Word

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 10:20 AM PDT

I'd like to create a macro that will skip thru each control on a Word template (i.e., plain text, checkbox, combobox, etc.) in order on the page and write out the data in each control to a comma separated file.

I've used the record option to create macros before, but unclear on how to program this type of function.

Anyone have any ideas that could help me out.  Tips and/or sample code would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Editing the points of a line in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 10:01 AM PDT

In previous versions of Word, I was able to draw complex shapes by inserting a line, then adding points and editing them. In Word 2013, when I click on the line I've inserted (Insert > Shapes > choose straight line), the Edit Shape option is greyed out.

Choosing Curve or Freeform or Scribble doesn't help because Word "controls" these shapes.

Is there a way to draw irregular shapes of my own design in Word 2013? Thanks.

Microsoft Office Home and Student: Problem window when opening Word or Excel

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 07:53 AM PDT

I have a problem with my Office programs. When I try to open 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. Would you like us to repair now?" The thing is that when I press the "Repair Now" option, it doesn't do anything. I have also tried the task of opening it in safemode by pressing the start button with the R key, only to have that message appear again. I have also tried uninstalling the software and then entering the same code off the package to install it again, but sadly that has failed to do anything. The programs ran great a month ago, but over the past 2 weeks this has just happened out of nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adding a row in a Word (2007) table does not follow format of previous row

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 06:37 AM PDT

For example, I put 6 points above on my text paragraph. Then I add a new row by pressing 'tab' at the last cell and a new row appears. But the new row does not have 6 points above the paragraph and I have to format every row I add. I remember that I never had to do that in version 2003 of word.

I don't know how to make a new row follow the format of the previous row.

Thank you.

Import RTF into Word with 'extras'

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 04:53 AM PDT

Hi there,

Sorry about the vague title but I was unsure of how to phrase the question.

I want to import an RTF file into Word but I wish to know if there is a way I can insert tags into the RTF file that will perform certain functions in Word during the import.

For example - could I insert a tag into the RTF document that word would translate as the start of a section or perhaps a tag that would add the marked text into the footer.

I think the answer will probably be 'no' but I thought I'd ask the Word experts.

Hope my question makes sense.

Regards,

Lee

Virtual keyboard popping up when I touch document page

Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:32 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013, windows 8.1, Lenovo thinkpad Yoga S1 in tablet mode.

Whenever I touch the page inside a document in word, the virtual keyboard pops up immediately.

I may not want to type anything, I may just want to scroll, and my finger took  long time, or I want to select, or just reading and thinking.

How can I disable auto keyboard for word? and keep it popping up manually.

How do I report Security Vulnerability in Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 07:42 PM PDT

Hello I posted an earlier discussion post, but was never looked at, or responded to, so I'm rephrasing as a question.

How do I report a security vulnerability in Microsoft Office 365 Version 15.0.4641.1003 (current at time of post)?

When selecting "Manage Account" under Account settings, the default browser will try to open an URL in a new tab. The URL is not percent encoded and if the URL contains a space character (in particular the MachineKey field value in the query string) then the default browser (affects Firefox or Chrome) will attempt to open multiple URLs/tabs. For my particular MachineKey, a connection to a spam/malicious website website is established each time (occasionally blocked by my antivirus). It would be worse if any of these websites were phishing for Microsoft account details, as every user is expecting to enter their account/password on the correct tab.

For example a URL of the form:

  http://o15.officeredir.microsoft.com/r/rlidOfficeManagementPortal?ver=15&app=winword.exe&...&MachineKey=12345-678-900000 XXX


will attempt to connect to "XXX", despite "12345-678-900000 XXX" being the MachineKey

This was determined by examining the 'command line' column of processes in Task Manager and verified with run.

Internet explorer will however take multiple tokens on the command line and interpret as one URL, but really this URL should be surrounded in quotation marks or percent encoded, so that all browsers will open up a link properly.

I have tried reporting this to Microsoft Office telephone support, but have been disappoint that this issue has not been escalated, but rather having been told that this a problem with Firefox and Chrome.

Even if this was a problem with Firefox or Chrome, shouldn't MS still percent encode the URL so that their customers (many of which are using firefox/chrome) are not redirected to phishing/malicious websites?

Word goes dysfunctional when saving

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 05:26 PM PDT

Whenever I save in Word 365 the program freezes/grays out for a few minutes while a "Not Responding" shows up in the title bar. After those few minutes it goes back to normal. I don't mind Word needing time to save, but the freezing up/not responding thing is starting to get annoying and hinder my work. I also use Powerpoint and it doesn't happen there, so this is a Word thing. It occurs no matter where I save (hard drive or Skydrive). Is there a way to fix it (preferably where I wouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall for the like 10th time)?

Changing default font in Word 365

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:57 PM PDT

In earlier versions of Word, changing the font of Normal style in a document would change all of the styles based on Normal. In Office 365, nothing happens.

I am actually trying to change the default font for all new documents. I have opened Normal.dotm. All my 40 or so styles are ultimately based on Normal, but if I change Normal (in this case from TNR to Arial) again nothing happens. What has changed? I could go to each of the styles and change each one, but that seems to be a waste of time, and anyway defeats the point of having all styles based on Normal and won't work in existing documents.

Maybe my problem comes from having continued to upgrade the template from Word 2003, through 2007, 2010 and now 365. I imagine that the problem would not occur with a new Normal.dotm. Or has MS changed the system so that Normal no longer drives all styles. Help please.

Please don't tell me to go to Home, Font, Set as Default, as that does not work. Or to Manage Styles, Set Defaults which equally does not work (see pics). I have also disabled all Add-ins and restarted Word.

Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro

Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro

Picture text wrapping format macro

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:34 PM PDT

I have tried to create a macro in Word 2007 to format the text wrapping of pictures to TopandBottom.  I'm not very knowlegeable about VBA code, but using examples and help, I've come up with the following.

Sub PictureFormat()

Set myDocument = ActiveDocument
With myDocument.Shapes(1).PictureFormat
Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTopandbottom
.RelativeVerticalPosition = _
 wdRelativeVerticalPositionParagraph
 .Left = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Right = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Top = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .bottom = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .WrapFormat.DistanceLeft = 0.2
 .WrapFormat.DistanceRight = 0.2
 End With

End Sub

There may be code that isn't necessary and I am sure I am missing some essential code.  All I want to be able to do is click on a picture, hit a macro that changes the text wrapping to Top and Bottom so that any text will appear under the picture.  If anyone can help me, I would be sooo grateful.  I've tried really hard to figure out VBA code, but I'm lost.

Thank you in advance

Word not working, something to do with the normal template?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:57 PM PDT

When I open word this message appears:

'Word automatically saved changes to the normal template, do you want to load it?

Yes    No

Regardless of what I choose, word stops working properly immediately and closes.

I have tried:

- Disabling all start up apps

- Working through the word troubleshooter - which says there is a problem that it can not fix but doesn't say what

- Office repair

Now on top of this once I worked through the office repair it now wants me to activate office again, it doesn't recognise my email address and I don't have the product key anymore as I got office over a year ago on a **** little card.

So .......... so far I have made the original problem MUCH worse and I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it because I have no meaningful information to go on and don't know what I am doing at all.

If someone can help me that would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Lana

Word and Languages

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 01:49 PM PDT

can I download word in multiple languages?

I know You can download word in different languages, but it replaces the current Microsoft word.

but I need Microsoft word in multiple languages at the same time (multiple word programs at once)

one in English (have it)

one in German

and one in Italian

So is there a way to have the Word application in each of these languages without replacing the others? Or do I have to do something else (possibly illegal)

why: cause im taking German and Italian and the teachers want us to use Word in the respective languages...

Suddenly, Word 2007 is in Compatibility Mode

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT

I have been using Office 2007 Word for years with no compatibility problem with any Word documents, no matter how old they were.  Suddenly, and by "suddenly" I mean this behavior never existed before this morning, all documents except newly created ones open in compatibility mode. 

The only thing I have done differently than normal was this morning I ran a document compare between a Word 2003 document and a Word 2007 document.  Now, and seemingly only since then, all my old documents are opened in compatibility mode.  Instead of graphics, table of contents, page numbers, etc,  tags are displayed and formatting is off.   This was never the case prior to this morning.  It's like running that compare woke some evil Word demon up.  If I give up and convert a document the formatting is off, and tags instead of things like page numbers still show until I print.   

So what changed?  I did not touch Word options or make any Word configuration changes.  The only thing I did differently was for the first time I can remember I used the compare feature and noticed seemingly all of the sudden I have this compatibility 'feature.' I have used this same installation of Word 2007 on my personal machine for approximately 6 years, and my last upgrade was a year ago to Windows 8.  And I have automatic updates disabled to prevent new surprise features. 

I have worked through the reams of internet posts on this topic and have subsequently checked that the file save option is set to docx (which it was), I have inserted the Dword "CompatMode=0" into the registry (there was not one prior), and I have renamed the normal.dot to another name.  No difference.  

I appreciate any help, but what I don't need is an explanation of how Word compatibility mode works.  I would love to know why it all of the sudden came on, and how do I get back to not having it mess up all my older files?   I cannot accept the stock answer I often see that 'this is just how Word 2007 works' because it didn't for me for years until this morning.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Security issues in distributing fillable MS Word forms

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:29 AM PDT

I need to create a fillable form in Word 2010 (Win7) that can be distributed thruout the company.  Users must be able to store this form on their desktop, click on it to open it, fill it out, then email it to a single specific email address.  I'd like to automate the email by adding a macro with the email address hard coded into the .docx distribution file.  Ideally, they fill in the form and click on Submit to email the completed form.

I know how to construct the form.  I can construct the macro for the email process.  My big question is security.  That is, if I distribute such a form, will it not be able to be opened on some computers because it contains a macro?  E.G., those with local admin rights might be able to open it but others would not.

Also, the form will have checkboxes, plain text, Rich text, and comboboxes.  Do any of these controls also carry with them security issues that would prevent us from wide distribution thruout the company?

Many thanks for any and all ideas on this,

Mark

 

Opening word it says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product. You should repair the office program by using control panlel.

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:26 AM PDT

My computer stopped and I was able to recover everything.  But now it will not let me get into microsoft word program.  It says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product.  You should repair the office program by using control panlel.  I did that.  I did the quick repair and then the long reapir and then I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing worked.  The other parts of Microsoft office work  I believe, but not the word.  Thanks  - Actually I was incorrect.  None of the Microsoft office downloads work. 

Dictionary Tool Not Working

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:19 AM PDT

The define tool or dictionary tool under the review tab in Word isn't working. It says I need to be signed in, but I am signed in on Office. When I click on the sign in button a pop-up box appears. It looks like it's about to do something, but the box disappears less than a second after it appears.

Under trust center settings I have the box check where it says "Allow Office to Connect to the Internet." The only thing that makes me question what's happening is the yellow triangle with a "!" in the middle by my name in the top right hand corner. I blacked out my name but you still see the triangle. What should I do?

F1 Key and Help Function spawning multiple ad windows in Chrome

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:26 AM PDT

This odd behavior occurs across all Office 2013 applications I have tried - Word, Excel, Visio, and Powerpoint.  

Hitting F1 or invoking the help function from any in-program help shortcut when having Chrome set as the default web browser invokes an avalanche of separate browser tabs, each bearing one iteration of whatever ads are being served on the main MS help site.  These tabs keep multiplying as long as any help window is is open, until Chrome is overwhelmed by the sheer number of open tabs, and crashes.  

While I know MS would prefer that I use IE, my work location mandates use of Chrome.  Switching isn't an option.

Are others experiencing this? Any advice on mitigations?    

Thanks in advance for any/all help or advice.  -kbs

Problems with drawing canvas copied from Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I regularly need the capability to create a 'Shapes' drawing in Word, and then create a JPG file from the canvas so that I can duplicate the content elsewhere (e.g. on blogs).

The problem is that the resulting images are "dirty", meaning that there is some sort of faint smudging all around the text parts, and I spend ages trying to clean them up first. The quality is terrible, otherwise, and I simply cannot use the image-file versions.

I would like to know what causes this so that I can avoid it. The problem happens in Word 2007 & 2010, and on multiple machines. I have tried taking a screen or application snapshot (using the 'print screen key'), and I have tried copy-and-pasting the canvas into Microsoft Paint and saving it from there, but the effect is always the same. It is easily demonstrable.

If I create them in Visio then the images are clean, but I prefer using Word as there is always considerable commentary to accompany those drawings.

Link excel text to word document?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Hello, 

I'm trying to insert text from an Excel 2010 file into a Word 2010 document using the "paste link" as an RTF. This works until the document is closed. When opening the the document, the 'update link' option is no longer available. When you right click and select 'object', a pop-up box indicates the object is "corrupt or no longer available".

I have multiple tables from the same Excel file "pasted as link" as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, that do update correctly every time, so it's not the excel file. What I'm trying to do works with the text when pasting the link as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, but I'd like to have this as text because using the worksheet object looks horrible from a presentation / formatting stance. 

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

Word 2013 Can't Open Files on Flash Drive

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 04:51 AM PDT

Word 2013 won't open office documents when they're on a flash drive. But If I copy them to my hard drive they open fine. Any documents I place on the flash drive have the same problem.

This also happens with PowerPoint and Excel documents, so I'm thinking it's an Office issue.

And in Office 2010 on a different laptop, it's the exact same issue. And with 5 different flash drives. So I have no idea what's causing it.

This is the splash screen

First it says "Starting..." then it says "Contacting [file path]" and the loading dots keep moving and it never opens. It's the same with PowerPoint and Excel.

Any ideas?

Copying several boxes in Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:07 AM PDT

I am trying to make name plates for a meeting. I have created a horizontal box on the bottom half of a landscape page and typed the name of the speaker in the box. Then I copied the box, flipped it around and moved it to the top of the page. Once the page is printed, if I fold the paper in half, the name appears on both sides of the nameplate.

I would like to do with for several people but I cannot seem to be able to copy the two boxes together. I've tried holding down shift to select the two boxes but it won't let me paste both. I've tried opening the clipboard and doing it through that, but no luck. The only way I can do this now is to resave the document every time and type in a name for each document or copy a single box, copy and flip and adjust it each time, neither of which are particularly efficient ways of working.

Can someone help me? I'm starting to tear my hair out!

Thanks.

endnotes in Word

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:42 PM PDT

In submitting a manuscript to a publisher, they ask that the references (endnotes in the manuscript) be submitted separately from the body of the manuscript and that the body of the manuscript should not have the references (which are in fact, endnotes).  But if the endnotes are stripped from the body of the manuscript, the reference numbers in the manuscript will be lost. 

Is there a way, to cut the reference list at the end of the manuscript without losing the reference numbering in the text?

Office will not open

The box suggested going to "Programs and Features" on the Control Panel. This was no help.

Vista Sleep Mode and Office 2007

Posted: 23 Apr 2007 02:19 AM PDT

In addition to what others might have suggested there are a number of known
issues with Windows Vista and sleep/hibernate/standby that are similar in
nature to the problem you describe. Unfortunately, none exactly match the
description you have provided. After returning from standby check the event
log to see if anything is listed in the system log in regards to devices not
properly returning from standby.

By chance do you have an external USB keyboard/mouse installed? If so, that
may be the cause (.e.g the USB bus isn't properly returning from standby and
as a result causes what appears to be problems with applications hanging).

but Word still displays in cm. It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your
help.

I am not getting an activation message, I am getting a failed validation
error. I have tried reactivating, I get a message that "The product is

I have looked at all applicable information that I could find on the
validation page, performed any steps suggested there, nothing helped.

Office Enterprise 2007 will not install under Vista

Have you tried removing Outlook before the setup?
It should write setup log files to your %temp% directory. The file names
start with Setup and have the extension .log. Can you see in them where
it hangs?

Server based Office 2013 - New template, template not showing header content in one work station only

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:53 PM PDT

This is for Server based Office 2013 - using Word 

All computer work stations are running Windows 7 professional

I have Word 97 - 2003 templates saved on the shared drive on the server. I have these templates "pinned" to the opening page on all server user accounts, so when anyone starts word on the server anyone can see the company templates.

On most of the work stations, when I create a new document from one of my templates - Word successfully shows all the Header and Footer details.

But on one work station there is no content in the Header or Footer, no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.

Any suggestion 

problem with ContentControls and templates

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I am pulling my hair out over content controls and templates in Word 2010. Here's the situation:

 

I have a .docx document (not saved in Compatibility Mode) with a number of content controls. I set them up the way I want them. I select the entire document and, in the Developer tab, group the controls together as per this page to protect the doc. Testing my document, I can fill out the content controls—select from dropdowns, toggle checkboxes, pick dates, enter text, etc. Because of the protection, I cannot edit anything except the content of the controls, which is exactly what I desire.

 

For the heck of it, I open the VBA editor and, in the Immediate window, run this line of code:

 

    ?activedocument.contentcontrols.count

 

It gives me back 173 as the count.

 

I save my doc as a .dotx template.

 

Now, if I just open the template itself, I can fill out the content controls as before, I cannot edit the rest of the doc, and the count of the controls in the template is the same as in the document it was created from: 173.

 

But if I create a new document based on the template, I cannot add content to the controls. I cannot select anything from the dropdowns or enter text in the text fields or click checkboxes or anything else I am expecting to be able to do. My placeholder texts show but when I click on the controls, nothing happens. I can, however, edit the rest of the document's content, which I shouldn't be able to do.

 

If I get the count of content controls in the new document, it gives me back 0. Yet clearly something is still there in my doc, since I can see the placeholder text for the controls.

 

I'm obviously missing something, but what? How can I get this to work the way I need it to work?

How do I make the spell check in Word 2013 work with words in other languages that end in a symbol?

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 01:42 PM PDT

I have recently switched from using Word 2007 to using Word 2013, and I've run into a problem. Here is the problem:

    I am using the spell check to check spelling in a different language. I have my custom dictionary set up and for the most part it all works well. However many of the words have a glottal mark. An apostrophe can be used for this, but that confuses the spell check. Therefore I have it set up to use another symbol. I think the symbol I am using is called a "Latin Small Letter Saltillo" (Shortcut key: A78C, Alt+X). In most cases this does not make a problem. However when a word that ends with a glottal, for example "cꞌabaꞌ" comes just before a comma, period, or just about any punctuation, the spell check does not recognize the glottal and therefore considers the word to be misspelled.

   An additional problem this creates is, lets say perhaps I have that word "cꞌabaꞌ" in my work somewhere and I forgot to add the glottal at the end. So when the spell check catches that word, I choose "Change All" to the correct spelling with the glottal. The spell check automatically changes all of them it comes to them until it runs across one that comes directly before some punctuation. After it adds that needed glottal it immediately closes its eyes to the glottal and sees that word again without a glottal. So it ads another one, and then another. Zooooom, and it ends up with somewhere around 60 glottal marks on the end of the word before it finally gives up on considering it misspelled!

   Word 2007 worked fine with this issue of glottal marks before other punctuation. Is there some settings option I had set differently in Word 2007 or what is the difference that Word 2013 cannot understand this like Word 2007 did? 

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Cant open documents from my old pc on windows 8.1

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 12:38 PM PDT

I have installed office home on my new laptop & I can open the programmes fine.  However when I try to open my old excel & word documents which I transferred across I get a screen asking if I want to purchase MS office as I don't have it.

I have noticed that my old documents are no longer called word or excel but XLSX & DOCX files.  I am assuming I need to convert something somewhere.

Thanks

Is it possible to work offline?

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 11:11 AM PDT

I am a student and have recently purchased office 365 university. When opening Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc.. a message box pops up says, "Getting your new office ready for you" However, being a student and all, I do not always have internet access, so when trying to work offline, I receive the above message (when opening a document) and cannot proceed any further. I cannot seem to close the box and the document in unresponsive. This is extremely frustrating, I have gone through the effort of buying a genuine product yet am unable to use it freely.  Please help!

Unicode with tables seems to generate: "The xml data is invalid according to the schema"

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:54 AM PDT

Hello, 

Why would the presence of Unicode characters (not entities) and tables cause the parsing error in the title?

I am editing the raw xml from the document as a single XML file and using PERL to convert entities to unicode characters. It seems to work in a lot of cases but fail in some specific instances, like when there is minimal text and a table.

Thanks,

Seperating Sections into seperate word document

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 10:40 AM PDT

I have a large word document, which happens to be a song book, that has multiple songs on one page. I am wanting to seperate each song into it owns document and use the name of the song as the document file name.

I have gone in and started doing this by copying and pasting each song into its own seperate document, but this takes forever and I was wanting to automate this process by using VBA code.

Could someone provide me with some guideance?

Thanks!

Template with autopopulating data - please help!

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 09:01 AM PDT

Hello,

I need to create a template for work which has a lot of repeating data in it - eg 'full name' and 'preferred name' get repeated a lot and each time have to be repeated manually which is very time consuming and it would save everyone a lot of time and headaches if we could create a simple form whereby once you enter the information once it will automatically populate all the rest of the instances.

The program we are using is word2010 and it is safe to assume I am somewhere between casual user and functional idiot but i'm very able to follow instructions if provided. I've already searched this but keep coming back to Visual Basic and frankly I'm scared of this - please let me know if there is an easy way of doing this.

And whilst I'm already asking for miracles just on the offchance - there are various options that people have to choose for each one of these forms but they are between a maximum of say 6 options - they are quite text heavy (couple of paragraphs) - is there a way of presenting these as a drop down menu so they would just have to pick option a, b , c etc?

thank you all for your time

very very much appreciated

Best wishes

Set footers in Word using VBA

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:33 AM PDT

I have a pre-existing document (that is essentially a pieced together conglomeration of many other documents). The document contains many Section Breaks instead of Page Breaks. 

I'm trying to insert footers using VBA, with the first footer being different than all other pages.  The code below would work perfectly IF my document had Page Breaks instead of Section Breaks, but alas, if I try to use it in my Section-Break-filled documents, all pages get the same footer. 

  • If I have "Different first page" checked in the Page Setup, then all pages get "This is the first page footer"
  • If I have "Different first page" unchecked in the Page Setup, then all pages get "This is the primary footer"

Any suggestions on how to get this to work so that I can set the first page footer independently of the footer on the rest of the pages?

Dim oSection As Section
Dim oFooter As HeaderFooter
Dim oRng As Range
For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
    For Each oFooter In oSection.Footers
        If oFooter.Exists Then
            Set oRng = oFooter.Range
            Select Case oFooter.Index
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterPrimary
                    oRng.Text = "This is the primary footer"
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterFirstPage
                    oRng.Text = "This is the first page footer"
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterEvenPages
                    oRng.Text = "This is the even page footer"
            End Select
        End If
    Next oFooter
Next oSection

Continue writing in previous outline level in Word

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 06:44 AM PDT

Hi All

I'm writing a document and I'm using Headers and associated outline levels

I've got levels from n to n.n.n

I'm trying to figure out whether its possible to add text to level 1.1 after I've added several 1.1.n, i.e.

1. Some header

some text

1.1 some sub-header

some text

some level 1 text [I want this to be associated with level 1]

The idea is that if I collapse header 1.1 I still see the following text but if I collapse header 1 I don't.

Any thoughts?

(secondary to that, if the above is possible, I'd love to get ideas as to how to graphically indicate that I've moved back to level 1.

Thanks

What does the August 2014 update for Word Starter 2010 do? What is it for?

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 04:44 AM PDT

I keep receiving a popup telling me that an update to Word Starter 2010 is available, click to run.  Starter 2010 was installed on my laptop before it was purchased (Toshiba Satellite),  before the starter edition had a time limit introduced.  It was then made into a time limited trial.  I need to know what the update is before I download it - in case a time limit is implemented!  I really do not need to pay for full office ......

Office 2010 - Default font format

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:10 AM PDT

I upload files of text to Amazon Kindle (I write them in Word, convert them to HTML and then upload).  Kindle require that I 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.
