| Cannot open MS Word Posted: 31 Aug 2014 01:04 PM PDT When I try to open MS Word 2013 in Windows 8.1 I get a 2 x 3 inch version just above the Word logo on the task bar. It will not enlarge. I attempted to do a quick repair on the MS Word program but received the following error code: 1610612703-8 What do I try next? Help! |
| Can't set Word 2013 as default for .doc or .docx -- double-clicking a document opens Word 2010 instead Posted: 31 Aug 2014 12:30 PM PDT It should be clear from the title, but I have both Office 2010 and Office 2013 installed. I recently re-installed Office 2013 (the Office 365 installed software version; I'm not using the web apps version or on-demand version). Things were working fine before and after the re-installation, then I had to answer a question for someone about Word 2010. I opened a document in Word 2010, and had to wait for the "Installing" screen to complete, even though I had previously applied the NOREREG keys to the registry in the Office 14 as well as Office 15 folders of HKCU. Other things I've done: - I've right-clicked on a file, and from the contextual menu chose Open With > Choose Default Program, clicked Browse, and navigated to Office 15/WINWORD.EXE. With the "Always use..." box ticked, I clicked OK. The document opens in Word 2010.
- In the Set Default Programs dialog, Word 2013 is already set for all the documents Word can open except for .odt documents.
- I have Word 2013 pinned to my Start Menu. When I hover over its icon and wait for the Recent Documents flyout to appear, I click on one of them, and it opens in Word 2010.
- Likewise on the Taskbar.
You can see from the things I've already done that I'm no rookie at these scary machines they call "computers". In fact, I've had this problem once before in a previous life; I just don't know what it was that fixed it. There's got to be a registry setting somewhere that's gone awry. Just point me to it and I'll be on my happy way. (Just FYI, the other Office apps act the same way -- .pptx files open in PPT 2010, .xlsx files open in Excel 2010, etc.) Thanks in advance for reading this far, and for your help. |
| Solving for t using the equation editor in Office 365 Posted: 31 Aug 2014 12:27 PM PDT Operating System: Windows 8.1 64 bit. Office Version: Office 365 Home Premium I am taking a grad level psychology class for Statistics in the Behavioral Sciences. Apparently, the equation editor in Word does not have a built in equation for computing Z-scores or T-values with three fraction levels. If you try to enter an equation manually and solve the equation, you get a pop-up stating there is an error in the equation Microsoft math cannot solve the equation. Even trying the built-in equations and entering the values does not work. If you click on "tell me more" you get a message stating Microsoft has nothing to recommend. 
If I remove the top part of the equation, and only use the bottom half for the square root, it will solve for t. Apparently Microsoft does not recognize the top part, the mean of one sample minus the mean of the other sample, or the number of participants for one group plus the number of participants for the other group divided by the two groups multiplied together. 
How do you get the equation editor to solve the entire equation? Thanks. |

| Is there a way to nest sub-list inside a listed paragraph Posted: 31 Aug 2014 10:47 AM PDT Hi, having moved up from 2010 to 2013 version, I can see that Multilevel listing remains a real pain. One thing which seems to have become difficult is to include a list inside a listed paragraph style like: 1. Because of the following reasons 1.1. Change in menus 1.2. Unfamiliar Icons I find it even more difficult to replicate this 2. I wish for an AI-software that would recognize this pattern and either show me how to do it or just asks me if this is what I want. 3. Then I could either 3.1. say yes or 3.2. no or 3.3 even ask it to have another go at recognizing the pattern which would it easier to turn and/or list into lists in the middle of a sentence. Anyone? |
| Cannot "save as" when creating new docs using Office 2007 have a hp photosmart 5510 printer Posted: 31 Aug 2014 10:36 AM PDT Hi I cannot "save as" when using word, excel and ppt Keep getting (word for example) word is not responding then app closes. I can edit exisiting docs and use "save" only happens when trying to save new docs. I have ran diagnostics and there was no fault found. I was prompted to run this as it said i had a number of crashes recently using office 2007 home and students edition. My laptop is using Windows Vista and is up to date latest updates. I think the problem could be my printer, hp photosmart 5510 as I never had these problems when I had a different printer. Has anyone else experienced similar problem? Pleaser note I have to use Microsoft Office Word as "Office Topic" but the issue is with ppt and excel too. Thanks in advance |
| Typing slows to crawl in Word 2013 comment function/track changes Posted: 31 Aug 2014 10:15 AM PDT I'm using Word 2013 on a Windows 8.1 machine, but I had this same problem on a Windows 7 machine. When I try to add a comment to a document using the track changes feature, typing in the revisions/comment pane becomes so slow as to be almost unusable. Typing in the rest of the document is fine/normal. It's only when I'm trying to type (or edit) a comment that the typing slows way, way, way down. I did a Google search and noticed that this was a big problem with Word 2007, and a lot of people suggested fixes. Not so with Word 2013, as far as I can tell. (That is, I can't find a lot of other people having this problem in Word 2013.) Any advice would be welcome. Thanks! |
| Help please! "Accounts not associated with this office product" keeps coming up when I try to activate the account Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:57 AM PDT I just bought the product online from my school and after I log in to activate the account this message, "Accounts not associated with this office product", keeps coming up. I don't how this is possible because I still have the email to verify the account and when I click it it says that the account is already verified. I called the schools tech support and no one knows how to fix it. It also asks me for a product key instead, which I never received. Please help I need to use word for a report today! |
| Can anyone help me with these Microsoft Theme's and color scheme's? Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:35 AM PDT I'm having to do a project and I have to use the yellow color scheme on word 2013. I purchased the office 365 university thing, and I also have a mac. None of the color scheme's my instructor is having us use is on my word. Is there anyway I can download these somewhere, without having to get on here and ask someone for the rbg numbers every time I have a project? We do 2-3 projects a week and so far I haven't had any of the color scheme's she has us use on mine. Can anyone help me with this? Also, could you go ahead and give me the rbg numbers for the yellow color scheme? Thank you! |
| Cannot Select Text Moving Cursor From Left Right, Only From Right to Left. Posted: 31 Aug 2014 09:16 AM PDT Word 2013 Win 8 Using a touchpad. Touchpad works everywhere else on my pc for proper selection but not in Word. What is going on? I'm so beginning to regret every purchasing this piece of crud program. Highlighting text is easy but try to remove it and I would have better luck convincing strangers to let me pull their teeth without anesthesia... And let's not even get on the subject that Times New Roman is not the default font. ( i figured out how to fix that thankfully) Any response with ideas on how to resolve is appreciated. ( an no I do not have any add-ins included on my HP pc) Thank you. |

| How do I use Radio Buttons to switch content inside a document Posted: 31 Aug 2014 05:05 AM PDT Hi, I want to use radio buttons in MS Word 2013 to switch between contents, i.e. selecting one radio button will show some content, and selection the other will show something different.

| Re-installed Office 2010 in a Windows 8 Gateway Computer will not open previously created Office Documents from that same program without doing so from inside of an Open Office session. Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:45 PM PDT I have a problem with Office 2010: I Re-installed it on 8/29/14 after having to restore my Gateway Windows 8 computer after Cox.net caused it to crash 2 days ago and now it won't open .DOCX word documents- that I created before I reinstalled the program; ( this is how it now identifies all of the files I had previously created with Office 2010 before the crash)–It won't open them by simply clicking on the new type Icon that distinguishes them as .DOCX type files instead of the original extensions. A message pops up saying that I need to Install Office 2010 to open this type of file. The same document that it won't open that way-opens just fine if I open Word first, (I have already reinstalled Office 2010, using the correct product code Key that came with the Office Suite-Office Professional that came with it.) and then while inside of the Word program I go to File/Open/ and drill down to where this file is saved- I click on the icon at this point a Plus 2010nd presto-it opens right up. Is there a way to simply tweak Office 2010 that is now re-installed on my computer to see these word documents that are now identified as .DOCX XML documents, the first time I click on them or is the path previously described (have to be inside of an Office program) the only way to open them now. |

| Macros in Word 2003: How to transfer between computers without involving the template? Posted: 30 Aug 2014 06:34 PM PDT On computer 'X' my Word 2003 has a whole bunch of embedded (and useful) macros.
On computer 'Y' my Word 2003 has a quite different normal.dot that I don't want to change. However, I would like to patch in the macros from computer 'X'.
There's plenty of online info about transferring Templates that include macros from one PC to another, but I don't want to do that All I want to do is copy the macros from one PC to another. Both are Windows 7 with Word 2003. Thanks :-) |
| Page Numbering Issue Word 2007 Posted: 30 Aug 2014 05:37 PM PDT Hi, I have a question regarding page numbering in Word 2007. I have a 48-page document, in which I wish the page numbering to commence on page 3. When attempting to do this, having divided the document with a continuous section break to form two sections, Word is still counting the first two pages, i.e., on page 3, the page numbering displays 'Page 1 of 48'; I need it to count only from page 3, so that it would instead display 'Page 1 of 46', omitting the first two pages of the document from the page count. I've phrased this query very clumsily, but any help would be most gratefully received. JohnH |
| Press Enter when taking notes without adding spacing Posted: 30 Aug 2014 04:04 PM PDT Split from this thread. I most commonly use word to take notes, make lists or outlines. compose ideas and thoughts, etc. As default, I write a line that represents an idea or point, want to go to the next so hit 'Enter' and don't intend or want a new paragraph. The solution would be to make changing line spacing simple with an obvious toolbar button or menu item. I'm no fan of the ribbon style toolbar which, in my opinion, makes word more difficult to use than it needs to be. |
