Microsoft Word - Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Microsoft Word - Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Need to keep outside text from moving when entering text into a content control box

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Hello,

I am very new to creating forms. I have read all of the relevant Help and Forum posts/discussions I could find, including links given in the answers, and cannot seem to find an answer - I think because this should be a common sense thing and my poor brain is overlooking something obvious!  

I am creating a form from a blank document. Following the directions from the basic Microsoft Help files, I have used the Developer tab to insert a text content control box into the form.  I also have plain text on the same line, and when I type a response into the content control box, I do not want the text down the line to move. I've tried all of the options I can find for setting properties of the box, or restricting editing of the form, but cannot seem to figure out how to keep what is entered in the box from causing changes in the rest of the line.  Help, please and thank you!  =)

How do I open Microsoft word documents using Microsoft Word Viewer instead of Microsoft Word, since I don't have it?

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 01:51 PM PDT

So I downloaded ms word viewer, so when I tried to open a Microsoft word document I was given the option of opening the document with either Microsoft word (I didn't buy it) or microsoft word viewer, but I chose microsoft word instead. Now whenever I open files it just says "You are trying to use office, but you don't have office". Is there any way I can go back and open files with microsoft word viewer?

Recovered document date and time

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 01:21 PM PDT

Hello all

This is my first post so I hope this is the right place to ask a question.  I am also fairly new to word so please forgive me if this is a silly question!

I have been working on a large document for a couple of weeks, and have typically saved it frequently on a memory stick.  However, today when working on the document a recovered file came up, stating the date as 01/01/2016 01:00 and it said this is the original file.  The date is the part that concerns me, I didn't open it.

Can anybody shed any light on why this may have happened and could it be a fake copy of my document somehow to try to access my confidential document?

Thanks

MS office takes too long to open large documents

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:38 PM PDT

Hello,

I am using Word 2013. Every time I open any document, the start window shows "Word is finishing analyzing your document" and then it takes several minutes before finally opening up the document. The time varies with the size of the document, as for example it takes 5 to 6 minutes before opening up a 6MB file.

Please help as this is very frustrating. 

Navigating Word with arrow keys

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:19 PM PDT

I have Office 365.  Using Word I frequently use a landscape format and two columns.  When I navigate down the text of the second column using the keyboard arrow keys and accidently go too far, the cursor jumps back to the corresponding line on the first column on the page.  Is there any way to make the cursor stop at the end of the text in the second column when scrolling down using arrow keys, as it did in previous versions up to 2010?

Insert citation greyed out

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I have a 19 page word file (my thesis) so far.

What I can't understand is why the "Insert Citation" button (and only the Insert Citation) is greyed out only on pages 14, 15, 16 and half of 17 and on others it works without problems.

I see the exact point after which it greyes out on page 17 (somewhere in the middle of the page).

What seems to be the problem here?

HOW DO I CREATE A COPY OF AN EXCEL DOCUMENT WITH SURFACE 2

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 11:03 AM PDT

hi folks,

I'm sure there is something simple that will do this. I used to right click and a text box would open and i would click copy and lo and behold i would get a copy. however, with the Surface 2 Power Keyboard, the mousepad is absolutely useless for right clicking. The double tap does nothing. So, does anybody know a keyboard shortcut i can use to replicate the function i need?  thank you

Word 2013 is not working (no respond)

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I can access to the screen where I can choose the certain type of document, but when I choose the type of document, it freezes up and says (no respond). I have been using Word without having this type of problem about a month. But like 7 days ago, it started to do this. All the other Office programs work fine, but only Word freezes up and doesn't work with the message "No Respond" 

I already re-installed it, but it did not work out.  Please help me with this! 

P.S Excel has the same problem when I try to load the file.

Two "pages" on one page??

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 07:59 AM PDT

I have laid out a 60-page booklet as 8.5" x 5.5" pages.  A little late(!), I realize that what I need is to have two separate 8.5 x 5.5 pages (including footers) on each 8.5 x 11 page, so it can be printed and then folded to make the booklet.   In Word 2013, can I somehow do this -- have two independent pages on the same page?  Like I say, each one has to be exactly like the original 8.5 x 5.5 page, including footers.  To make matters worse, the page numbers are of course not continuous, since it'll be printed and then folded to make a booklet.

I realize that I can print what I've already created and then paste them all onto 8.5 x 11 sheets, front and back, but I'm hoping for an electronic solution!!!

Thank you!

when I open word and Excel 2013: every time prompted to accept Microsoft office license agreement'first things first', and it's slow to open a file

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 07:49 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 in Windows 8.1, every time when I open a word file prompted accept Microsoft office license agreement under the 'first things first'. Is this necessary all the time? Besides, this is a new laptop with i7-4500 CPU with 8GB RAM and when I open word or excel file, I can tell it is much slower than I open the same file by using office 2007 in other old computers. Is this supposed to be so because of use of Office professional Plus 2013?

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Word/Powerpoint won't open

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:33 PM PDT

I can't open Microsoft files by double clicking it after I've uninstalled Microsoft 360 (free trial). I currently have Microsoft 2010 but for some reason, the files won't open when I double click it... it just pops up an error message.

I can, however, open the files by opening Microsoft 2010 Word/Powerpoint>File>Open>[FILENAME].

Everything is fine. It is just that I can't double click the files to open it (for easy/quicker access to files).

Sharing customized word 2010 templates

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:22 PM PDT

I have created a customized word template on my personal computer (windows 8.1/word 2013). The customized template includes a customized tab on the ribbon and custom quick parts. I have tried copying this template across to my work computer to test it out before sharing with colleagues. Neither the custom quick parts nor the customized tab transferred across. The only way I could get it to work was copying the Building Blocks template and then recreating the customized tab on my work computer. Is there a simpler way of doing this? I just want to email my colleagues the new template and for them to click on it and start using it without having to create their own tab and install the Building Blocks template in the right location (I guarantee that some will get it wrong!). The work computers use word 2010 and windows 7.

Thanks for any help offered.

Booklet page numbers conflict with inside/gutter

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:58 PM PDT

My problem comes when I change page numbers in a booklet. If I start a new section on page 4 and renumber it to page 1 it changes the inside, outside, and gutter to the opposite of what it should be (it seems the physical page is an even number, but Word considers it an odd number ... even when printing).

 Any advice for this situation?

Problem with Microsoft Word 2013 - Version of File is not compatible with the version of windows I am running

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:40 PM PDT

Hello,

I bought Microsoft Office 2013 yesterday and installed it successfully. Powerpoint, Excel, and the other suites work fine, but when I try to run Microsoft Word 2013 I receive the following message:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32 - bit ) or a x64 (64 bit) version of the program,, and then contact the software publisher.

I have tried running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 7 with no success. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am using Windows 7 as my operating system

Thank you.

Word 2013 no longer makes editing changes correctly..

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 04:57 PM PDT

Windows 8.1 - Home & Student 2013

This is a new problem for me, and I couldn't find anything similar in a quick review of recent questions/discussions.

My normal editing style (manuscript) is to select and replace with changes, or cut and paste. In my latest chapter, what is on screen reflects my editing changes, but when I print out both the replaced/deleted test and the new text appear on the printed page. I've checked all File settings including 'Options' for mistakes and can't find any.

I recently reinstalled Office due to a font problem and am hoping for a quick fix instead of one that takes another reinstall or a week of back and forth to resolve, so if anyone has encountered this problem, your help would be much appreciated! TIA

Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:53 PM PDT

Since switching to Office 2013, I get the message "Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string." when I try to run a mail merge. I have assignment check sheets and grade sheets that I merge with a class list to print individual forms for my students. I tried using the revised files for this year and the old files from last year which worked fine , but now when I select the Word document containing the class list I get this message. One of my co-workers got this message last year, but we never figured out what the problem was. We have tried saving the list as a text file, but got the same message. Can someone help?

Underlining, etc. in Word 2013 RT (Surface 2)

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:46 PM PDT

When I try to underline selected text in Word (RT version on my Surface 2) it underlines the entire document, as if it were changing the Style.  If I click "undo," then all the extra underlining goes away so that only the original selected text is underlined.   The same thing happens with Bold, Small caps, etc.  I never noticed it before, so I think this is a new bug.   Has anyone else experienced this?  I have tried disabling smart cursoring, quick paragraph select, etc., without success.

Why is there a stubborn black line right at the top of my document?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:27 PM PDT

I cannot select the line to delete it.  I have already selected "no border" and "remove header" in case either of those were causing it.  It's still stubbornly appearing.

Microsoft Office Starter Problems After Sept. 2013 Update

Re-installing Word 2013 with a deactivated account

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Hi,

I purchased Word 2013 (I still have the product key) a few months back. 

Due to a problem with my PC I need to re-install Word but the account I used to purchase the product has now been deactivated. I raised a support ticket with accounts & was told to contact the office team. I tried the 'contact us' pages  which seem to just point you at Answer Tech's who while nice & all, seem unable to grasp the problem or suggest a solution. The UK customer helpline number takes you in a loop then tells you to visit the website!!!

Anyone have a suggestion where I go from here?

How do I create a macro that will automatically sort items based on a Mail Merge field?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I have a quote mail merge template that contains products. In the source, Dynamics CRM, each product contains a sequence number (field). The user is able to modify the order of the products and CRM will adjust the sequence number accordingly. The problem is when the quote is printed, the order of the products always revert back to the original order in which they were entered and not by the sequence number.

In Word, you can manually set the order by opening the 'Edit Recipient List', find the quote_product_sequence_number field column, and sort. But I need this to be automated.

I tried recording a macro as I walked through the manual steps, but the macro does not record anything when the 'Edit Recipient List' dialog box is open. 

I tried adding this code ... but I get an 'object required' error.
Sub SequenceOrder()

' Sort by Sequence
sequence = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Qu ote_Product_Sequence_Number").Value
sequence.Value.Sort SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending

End Sub

Any ideas?

Ink Tools Not Available in MS Word 2013 With External Tablet

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:43 AM PDT

Hello,

I recently bought a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet to take notes on class handouts in MS Word. When I control my cursor with the tablet, the Ink Tools> Pens section appears in the top ribbon, but when I tap on it, everything but the options for Thickness and Select Objects tool are greyed out, disallowing me from writing on the document.

The only solution I've been able to find is to go to Turn Windows Features On and Off and select Tablet PC Components, which is already checked off.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

Is there any help? WORD 2010 crashes and loses current document permanently.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:58 AM PDT

I have had this problem with Windows Pro 8.1 (using WORD 2010) since I started using BitDefender Total 2014-2015 about three months ago.

WORD crashes when I try to save a heavily edited document.  It loses the 10-minuted auto-recovery document as well as the prime document.  I asked Windows to record a dump file, but I can't find where these dump files are.

What gets me mad as this happens after extensive editing sessions and I lose thousands of corrections.  I've never had such dismal performance from Microsoft before this time.  I have used Word 2.0, 6.0. Office 95, 97, 2000.  Why am I having so much misery with WORD 2010?

Is there any solution?

word 2010 documents are being saved all over the place--I need to find out where they belong as if the computer was new

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT

I have windows 7 ultimate and use word and office 2010. (im sorry that microsoft gave the same name to multiple and different things such as email and documents)

Opening statement: My computer literacy is medium so most of the basics i know so that as I get a reply or 2 I can fly with it.

When opening a document and then when clicking "save"--over the past few years those documents are saved onto the hardrive into dozens of locations and no matter how hard I try I cannot get them straightened back out. I realize that it usually returns to the location last saved to but no matter what i do the locations are impossible to figure out even after moving all documents to what i thought was the correct folder and making sure over a period of days and weeks to get it saving correctly by navigating painstakingly to the correct location and hitting "save".  Yet STILL they are all over the place. The best way is to give some examples --I see no other way to clarify the problem. 

A couple weeks ago I decided to tackle the problem and sought out all documents and MOVED them to the correct folder and deleted and cleaned up other folders in which documents were all over the place. (a good example of a mistake was saving a document into a created folder so that it would be there when i searched instead of clicking on "open"--and up comes a list of 13,289 documents going back decades. That was likely the root of the problem. But I cleaned that up and let them all go into the one giant "documents resorvoir" and if there was an important critical one i would save it into a backup folder off the system such as my backup drive. 

The situation at this moment-->I open or start a new document and there are dozens of places it goes when i hit save--or if i go "attach file" when sending an email. I moved all documents to C/users/jeff/my documents and after doing that i deleted the various empty folders where they had been.  But i cannot figure out--and i simply do not understand all the locations to choose from or how to stop them and why a document has dozens of options where it might be that the computer chooses.    users/jeff/my documents--so why if i open or create a document do i look up at the top of the screen and it shows a path name a mile long that is someplace else like "libraries"??   what is the difference between users jeff my document and "libraries" which also has documents under it.   the users i believe is locked or something and shows a little lock--what then is the purpose of "libraries"??  why is "libraries" not under c-users-jeff-my documents?   why if i save a document painstakingly saving it to users my documents then i open an email to attach it--ITS MISSING??  why when i click on something else it then shows a window that shows about 5 or 6 recent documents BUT THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE MISSING???

i am profficient enough that if someone can reply to WHERE ARE DOCUMENTS SUPPOSED TO BE?"--i can do the rest but why no matter how many times that i do it are my documents all over the place and if i email and try to attach or open word and click up at the upper left OPEN--up comes a list of documents and yet again up at the top of the screen i have to navigate all over the computer to keep trying to get back to c drive--users--jeff--my documents.?  

I will try to attach a picture that shows an example of opening word but then there are dozens of places in which a document is lost and no way to know WHERE CAN I MAKE THEM BE AS IF THE COMPUTER WAS NEW.  another note is that it does not list them correctly--i know about list "by date or modified etc" however i constantly spot them where they are not listed right. i can create a document this minute and save it and it will become lost and i have to track it down by going to multiple locations and then i will find it and it will be in a random list--not alphabetic--not by date--not by anything. it will also not be listed in "today" yesterday--a long time ago.   those sometimes get lucky but rarely. My documents are totally out of control and i can fix them if i get a reply   thanks...

Picture Content Control - inserted photos not filling control frame size

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2010, I am creating a template with a Picture Content Control. I have sized the frame to the desired area to work well with the other Text content boxes.

However, when a photo is added, the photo maintains it's original aspect ratio, and does not completely fill the Content fram. I've added pics below to show this.

I've read in this community that the picture should fill the entire content area, but I am having no luck.

Ideally, I'd like the Content frame to act like an Instagram frame where the picture can be centered and sized as desired to completely fill the 1:1 content frame, or whatever the Content frame size is.

I'm not sure if this is capable in Word, but hopefully some of you can help me with some guidance.

datasource questions

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:58 AM PDT

is there a maximum number of fields you can put in a data source file?

In a delimited data source file, Quotes surrounding each field and fields separated by either the tab character, comma, or semicolon,  Why would word not recognize the delimiter?

I get an error message saying the data source can not be opened because it lacks a valid database.  In word versions prior to Word 2010, this was not a requirement.  How do you add a "valid database" to a data source?

I'm using a DataAccess Corporation product called Visual Dataflex (VDF) to create a database application using their embedded database.  I'm using a com Automation class generated by VDF based upon the MSWORD14.olb file.  I had used the com automation to create the datasource in a Word document.

Any help in getting answers to my questions is appreciated.

With 365 I tried many times to repair, reinstall and so forth without success, I have a Windows7 OS.

How to stop new page when creating new numbered heading

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 04:48 AM PDT

Hi

Our company have developed some Word templates to be used for all our documentation.

But the template I'm using now are created so that every new numbered heading (1. Intro,  2. Heading A,  3. Heading B) starts on a new page.  

So as soon as I type "2. New Heading" is adds a page break before the heading.

How can I prevent this behaviour so that my numbered headings will start where the previous paragraphs stops.

Using Word Art in Office Word 2013

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:19 PM PDT

I normally use Publisher to do most of my work but I recently encountered a new situation that requires me to use Word.  Now this is something interesting and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I was creating a document that required me to use a text box which is really a simple operation but when I tried to punch it up a little bit by adding some word art I couldn't get it to work.  I couldn't get text to flow around it or even using other tools didn't work.  Is this peculiar to Word since I never encountered this situation in Publisher.  However I need to note that when I'm not using a text box then when I insert word art text flows around it perfectly.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks for any and all help.

Determine field code page position during merge

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:55 PM PDT

Is there any way to determine the page position of a field code during a merge operation, recognizing that the position can change based on the result of the merge?

Specifically, for a contract, if a sig block won't quite fit on the page, I want to insert text that says "Signatures on the following page." and then insert a page break immediately following.

I suppose that could be done either if I can see that the location where that line would appear is beyond a certain point on the page, or if the page count of the location of the signature block is 1 higher (but not sure how, because then it would need to insert the notice on the prior page).

I've gone through all of the Word field codes and didn't see anything that would let me do the first, and am not sure how to do the second.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Colin

Word 2013 automatically defaults to File

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:29 PM PDT

In previous versions of Word, if I was on the home tab or Insert tab on the menu bar it stayed on that tab until you changed it. However, in office 2013, any time I type in the Word document it automatically goes back to the file tab. Is there a way to change this back to the way it was in previous versions that it stays on the tab you were using?

I have a custom dic and the default dic but when spell check finds an incorrect word or other auto-correct situation, the dictionary button is greyed-out.  Nothing has been added to my dictionary in two months.  I had a seven year old custom dic from Office 2007 but don't know how to access it!

Numerous Word documents in my Documents folder have automatically created backups. What's happening? Is it Word, or is it my computer? And how can I stop it?

Word 2013 file wont save

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 01:04 PM PDT

MS Word file 2013, which I have been working on for a couple of months, suddenly won't save.  I can only "save as" with a new name.  Occasionally also get a file permissions error when trying to save.  Have tried the repair using control panel/programs/change quick change and complete change.  Same problem occurs.  Emailed the file to my husband and he does not have this issue - so it is something on my system.  I also see multiple temp files (one for each failed save attempt.... the temp files will not close.  Never seen them before.  Currently working on rev8.    Here is a screen shot: 

anyone have any ideas what to try next?

Word Paragraph Defaults Not Working

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I cannot get a change to the Word Paragraph Defaults to stick.  Particularly, if I check "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style," and then try all manner of saves (Set Default, OK), and select to make the change to all documents using normal.dotx, the change does not survive the current document.  Neither does it apply to the current document in paragraphs already typed (this latter problem is not the issue, as I really care about setting it for future use).

can't create a permanent word template in 2003 and 2007 or 2010

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:27 AM PDT

First of all 2010, 2007 were no improvement over 2003. Its ironic that state employees were taking classes on how to change from 2003 to 2007. Imagine? That hard to do. So here's the problem I'm having besides the re-organization and stupid button. If I create a new normal.dot or import same from another machine. 2007 still defaults to normal.htm. If I delete it word re-creates it. If I save my normal.dot as normal.dotm it reverts to the original word normal.dotm so my changes are lost. I have no use for the normal.dotm. Calibri is a nice font and I use it in graphics applications but for writing readable text I like Palitino. In general for text the normal font should be serif and my personal taste is that I dislike Times New Roman. I have a hierarchy of styles or style set I use for all my writing. Why is it so difficult to get that established as the default style in word? I've tried various articles and help files and they all lead to temporary solutions. What I can't get to happen is for word to open my normal.dot instead of its normal.dotm and I can't change the normal.dotm file. I'd like to either remove normal.dotm so it doesn't come back or make word default to normal.dot. Another problem is every word installation seems to load the files into different locations so there's no way to ask online where they are or which one word is actually using.

What templates will help adapt the Apple version of Word Notebooks to Windows

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:22 AM PDT

I have been migrating from Word 2013 to the PC version of the same. One of the things that is lost in the transition is the ability to use the Apple Word notebooks with their tabbed sections. These are not available in the Windows version since Microsoft wants to get us to use One Note. But I already have the notebook filled with work so I am looking for a template. I just tried the Student template but it seems to only want a list of content, not the content. That is no help. I want to cut and paste from the Apple Word notebook template into one that will also work with Windows Word. Any ideas? Thanks

Default properties and company listed in Word docs

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:21 AM PDT

I am a one-person company, and I use an HP computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I noticed that on some of my Word docs when I open "Properties" that the "company" listed is "Hewlett-Packard." This happens on all new documents, and it's there on new documents that were created the past couple of years. See the attached screen shot. I have highlighted the right side of the shot where the company name shows up.

Previously, the company name was my company, which is not Hewlett-Packard.

How do I change the default setting so in the Properties it says the company name is my company and not Hewlett-Packard?

Yes, I can change it on individual documents, but I want a universal change for all new documents created going forward.

Thank you very much!

Adding a new level of numbered heading to existing template

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT

Can anyone tell me how to add new heading styles to an existing template? For example, I have a template with 5 levels of numbered headings, down to, say, 1.2.2.3.1. But now I need to add Section 1.2.2.3.1.1 and there is no heading built in for that level. The existing heading 6 is something else that is not connected to this numbering system. I know how to build a new template from scratch in Word 2010, but I have no idea how to modify this existing one and am also confused about some of the changes in Word 2013. Does anybody know how to do this? 

Word 2013 crashes when mouse pointer is placed over the author picture in a comment

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:15 AM PDT

Hi!

I am using Word 2013, with all latest updates. The problem is that Word crashes every time I place the mouse marker on top of the author picture in a comment. This happends with all my word documents. Working with comments using Menu > Review >Comments menu works fine, as long as I make sure not to place my mouse pointer over the picture. Is this a bug in Word 2013? I have no other problems with word.

I have tried to log in to both OneDrive and to Office 365 (from File > Account), but that does not seem to make any difference.

Issue with Wildcard Search and Replace

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve with wildcard search and replace in Word 2013 for Windows.

I have a document that I'm editing, in which the author(s) have inconsistently used 1 space and 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. To make things consistent, I want to set everything to 2 spaces after every period at the end of a sentence. I found this wild card formula that should accomplish what I need:

Find: ([.\?\!]{1} )([A-Z]{1})

Replace with: \1 \2

But EVERY time I use this formula to replace one found instance, I get the following:

Original: ...normal aging. In humans... (notice, 1 space after the period)
Replaced: ...normal aging. I n humans... (it's putting a space between the first and second letter of the sentence! why?!)

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. Logically, it all looks good to me. Any help would be much appreciated.

You don't seem to understand.  I cannot get microsoft word to respond.  Nothing you have put on the screen seems to  help me.  I am not very good at this and need a live person to tell me what to do.

I want Outlook to share Word's AutoCorrect list

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 03:00 AM PDT

Hi, I spend ages getting AutoCorrect entries set up in Word - It's a great feature and saves me heaps of time every day.

I want the AutoCorrect entries that I've set up in Word to be available when I am writing emails in Outlook too.

It seems crazy that I've got to set everything up again for Outlook. Is there a way of telling Outlook to just use my Word entries?

Thanks

Micorsoft Word Constantly says "Not Responding" using Window 8.1

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:11 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Window 8.1 and every since I have had an extremely unstable Word. 

I get the "Not Responding" message as soon as the document opens and even when I'm not doing anything in the document.  This past weekend it started a very fast flickering for about 30 seconds.   I am using Office Professional Plus 2010.   The documents that I am working on are all text with a few tables of text.  No pictures or any other graphics. I've had ran the repair and it did not fix my issue.  I can't do anything now because it is constantly saying Not Responding and the screen turns white. 

I use Excel from time to time and I have noticed the Not Responding also but it is not as bad as it is with WORD.  I also use PowerPoint yet I have no issues when using it.

PLEASE HELP!!!

TIA
