Microsoft Word - Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Microsoft Word - Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Word adds visible mailto links to PDF documents

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 02:23 PM PDT

When saving my CV/resume document as a PDF, Word keeps adding a visible mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy *** link next to and underneath my email address, despite the fact that I've removed the hyperlink from my email address.  It isn't simply adding a hyperlink, but it's typing out a visible and unattractive mailto: link which throws my columns out of whack.  I can't figure out how to stop this 'feature.'  Has anyone else experienced this?

How can I apply a style to a paragraph or selection but keep any italics that are in it?

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 02:05 PM PDT

I have a VBA ribbon command which applies a style to the paragraph where the insertion point is.  It does some looking around and then simply does

    Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.styles("mystyle")

This works OK but I'd prefer if it did NOT reset all the italicized words that might be in the paragraph to Regular.  I have to redo any italics in the paragraph every time I use this function.

I remember a previous question I asked about preserving italics about a year ago, but I don't think I can use the same technique here, because the text already exists in its desired location - I am not inserting it or "pasting" it.

cropped screen shot doesn't stay cropped when document is emailed to a phone

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 11:55 AM PDT

I made a word document with several images that were screen shots I'd copied and pasted in.  The images were then cropped and re-sized and arranged a bit within the word document.

This document was then emailed as an attachment to both an outlook account and a gmail account.  In both cases when the document was opened on an iphone the word document displayed the original screen shots... as if they had never been cropped.  Any idea what is going on here and what I might do to make it work right?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Why can't we save and close a doc, and minimize Word, all in one click?

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 10:52 AM PDT

Word always hangs around whenever I close a .doc.....it sits there in the middle of my screen, like a big grey elephant, blotting out everything else, including whatever folder I had open, with the list of files I was trying to consecutively edit.  So, I've fallen into the habit of using the X box to shut off Word when I really just want to save and close the current .doc.   I do this because it's the fastest way to get the heck out of the .doc and see the list of files I need to edit next.

But this means when I double click each subsequent file to edit it, Word has to entirely re-load before showing me the document...that takes time, too.

I would prefer to do a File Close when I'm finished editing a doc, but that approach causes a bunch of mouse movements and clicks just to make that happen, and does NOT get rid of the unwanted grey elephantine empty Word app, blotting out everything.

So the question becomes, is there a way to save and close a .doc, and make Word minimize automatically, with ONE mouse click?

Over years of working with Word, this one capability would probably save a typical user many hours of totally unnecessary mousety-clicking.

Office Home & Student 2013 - Word 2013 crashes

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:24 AM PDT

Please help!

I have recently purchased and installed Office Home & Student 2013. When attempting to use Word, after a few minutes the program crashes and says "Microsoft Word has Stopped Working", it will restart and the whole thing will start over again.

I have uninstalled previous Microsoft Office versions, I have uninstalled Add-ins, I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2013 and nothing has resolved the issue.

I'm using Windows 7, 32 bit operating system.

Please advise what I can do to make the program work.

Cheers.

Numbered lists in concatenated documents

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 04:12 AM PDT

Hi,

I've 2 docx with numbered lists:

1.docx content:

1. a

2. b

3. c

2.docx content:

1. x

2. y

3. z

I've a job that merges the 2 docx in one final docx with all the content.

But the final content is:

1. a

2. b

3. c

4. x

5. y

6. z

instead of:

1. a

2. b

3. c

1. x

2. y

3. z

Is there any section break that I can use in the original documents to restart the numbering lists after merging the 2 docs?

Thanks,

word files not appearing

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:15 PM PDT

Hello.  When I attempt to open a WORD document in WORD 2013 the folders appear in My Documents but the folders are empty.  However, when I go into Windows Explorer, all of the files are there and I am able to open WORD files. Why is this happening?  By the way, I have had WORD 2013 installed for months and have never had this issue until today.  Thanks!

Word 2013 Forms Not Working

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:14 PM PDT

I'm having a problem with a Word document containing ActiveX textboxes, combos and command buttons.

All are enabled and working when I open the file, however if I then tab through the first 8-10 controls, the command buttons and textboxes stop working. Nothing happens when clicking them. They don't even take focus. The document is protected and set to allow only Forms filling and there is no code in the document at all.

The problem occurs only in Word 2013. If I open the file in Word 2010 it works perfectly. I've tried re-creating the file by copying only the text to a new document and then adding the controls anew. Same thing happens.

Can anyone tell me if they've had similar issues, have a fix, any ideas at all?

Thanks

Exclude a Word from Suggestions

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:35 PM PDT

I know how to exclude words from a dictionary (put it in the relevant ExcludeDictionaryXXnxnn.lex file) so that its reported as misspelt.

What I don't know is how to do is to prevent Word from making some suggestions; particularly for compound words.  Example if I have "there will a low stone wall surrounding the herb garden" then I will get the suggestion to change 'stone wall' to 'stonewall' (obstruct or hinder any discussion), which in this context is clearly wrong. 

Is there some way I can stop Word making particular suggestions.

Thanks Philip

macro template problem

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:20 PM PDT

Hello,

I am looking for an answer a macro question as follows. I searched from internet but could not find an answer and there for I am asking.

We have quite large company which has several sub companies. Each company is concentrated on its own business and IT solutions are bought from outside. However this problem is so common that it takes too much time ask help from outside, every time it occurs, so I am looking for another solution.

Company has multiple word documents in use which are using macros. Macros cannot be integrated to documents itself so macros needs to be run from separate location. Old macros are driven from Word startup folder's roaming section. I know it is possible to create new location for macro template and ask Word to point in it. However it seems that macro templates which are located some other folder than in startup will not stay checked. Is there any way get around of a problem?

It would be best if there could be two separate locations where Word could run macros and both would stay checked as default.

Our company is using Office Word 2010 and Windows 7.

Kind regards,

Joonas-Matti Tuominen

Word and Excel opening Outlook attachments

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:58 PM PDT

Every time I try to open an attachment from Outlook 365, the appropriate application opens and starts to load the document, but then I get a dialog box that says "Microsoft Word (protected view) has stopped working" and then shuts down. The same thing happens if the attachment is an Excel document.

There is no useful help and I have no idea how to fix this issue. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? is the only solution to turn off the option?

Microsoft Office Display is Too Large

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:19 PM PDT

While I was working on a document in Word all of my office displays became enlarged. Most of the troubleshooting I've tried has only been about icons and general computer display, not specifically office or other programs.  It was applied to Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as Paint, possibly other places I haven't seen yet as well. Any idea how to get these back to normal? I'm running Windows 8 and Office 2013.

Problem with duplex printing on Canon MX512

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 04:17 PM PDT

I am trying to print a trifold, two sided brochure for my cancer support group. I am running MSOffice 2007, on Windows7. I have a Canon MX512 which has duplex printing. However, when I send my word document to print, the second page prints upside down. I have monkeyed around with the settings, and have tried templates, but nothing seems to work. If anyone has a solution, I need it explained to me like I'm a five year old - a five year old from when I was a five year old, long, long ago.

Thanks!

If you are still running Windows 98 or ME, then I think you probably
need to buy a new computer anyhow. Those two operating systems are
ancient and you really shouldn't be using them anymore.
The OP's problem sounded like a case of Windows XP installed but without

Showing locked file by the admin who installed Office...

Posted: 14 May 2007 08:07 AM PDT

I figured it out… Actually quite simple once you know… After the install of
office, I must have opened excel which filled in the user name field under
Tools>Options>General.

When I was done configuring de default profile the way I liked it, I copied
my profile to the “Default User” profile. Since there was something in “user
name” the user was never prompted to file it in and gave my name instead. I
cleared it and copied the “clean” profile one more time to the default user
profile. It worked with my test user. I will keep an eye on it for a few days.

Posted: 14 Jan 2007 02:06 PM PST

doug,

thanks for the information about partitions. I had read most of that
before but its nice to hear things again (untill its so familiar it
bores you i guess). Also i appreciate the cautious "just know what
your doing first" reply rather than giving me information i might
misuse.

however, I think i missed how your post applied to my question. I have
all the partition numbers straight, it was the exact name of the kernel
that i was missing. Also, I had a chain of three boot loader screens.
I was wondering how did this happen, or more importantly, How do i get
rid of them from windows? or, how do i make a linux boot floppy from
windows?

Since posting this question, I've decided that the first boot loader
screen finds menu.lst and the second implements it. So, those were both
from a single installation of wingrub. The third boot loader screen
still comes up because i call grldr in my windows boot.ini. Haven't
gotten around to taking that out yet.

Reinstalling linux solved this problem. I guess it writes to the mbr
at the end of installation which i failed to get to the first time.

Another possible solution: i think just typing kernel hd(0,2)/boot/
gives a list of possible files, and one could gleen the spelling of the
actual kernel or initrd from this list. i think i read something like
that but i had already seen the /boot/ from windows as described above
so i didn't pay to much attention to this second solution.

try to backspace or delete to go back to top line, it won't go back to
the first line.

i have the set -o vi, and tried set +o vi (again, works in bash,
but not ksh)

any help is appreciated.

Missing themes

I tried copying and pasting this into my search under the themes tab but it won't accept it. Am I putting it in the wrong place?

Problem with moving text when track changes is on

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 02:20 PM PDT

When track changes is on and I delete a piece of text in Word 2010, it disappears, but when I paste it into the new location the deleted text often reappears in the old location. What's more, it isn't highlighted in either location so it's hard to notice. This doesn't happen every time I move text but it happens often enough to be a real problem. I did a repair of Office but that made no difference.

I've tried to figure out what the conditions are when this happens but haven't been able to. I thought it might have to do with the code at the ends of paragraphs but it happens with sentences too so that's not the answer.

Would much appreciate any insight.

Word crashes when formatting

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:41 PM PDT

Hi.

I have one word document that crashes when I try to format the text (bold, underline etc) - I can write in the document and I can make format changes in other word documents.

Any thoughts?

Does anyone know where word update downloads are stored before being installed?

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:17 PM PDT

Hello folks,

I have a computer that came with Word 2013. Recently it asked for permission to install an update, but the moment it attempted to install this update an error occurred while installing, and all of the office suite ceased to exist on the machine. I used system restore and was able to replicate the error to be sure that's what caused it.

Since then I've used system restore once more and rolled back to when Office 2013 was working. I've turned off automatic updates, but this text still appears requesting an update:







Since other people use this machine, is it possible to locate the downloaded file and delete it so it stops prompting an install?

Thank you very much!

Word will not print envelopes

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:05 PM PDT

This problem occurred a few days ago on my HP desktop computer.  I think it happened just after an update from Microsoft.  The computer is using Windows 7 64-bit.  I use Microsoft Word 2010 to create envelopes and it has failed.  All other printing functions well.  I am printing to a HP Laserjet and to a HP Office Jet Pro.  I am unable to print an envelope to either printer. 
Things that I have done are as follows.
      1.  uninstalled & reinstalled both programs.  No help.
I am at my wits end and not sure what to try next. 

Missing headings in table of contents

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

When doing an automatic TOC, it keeps omitting one of my Heading 2 headings. It simply picks up all the heading 2s but one. I deleted the heading, retyped it and re-marked it as a Heading 2. Then clicked update table. Still, no luck. It just won't pick up that one heading. Frankly, this Word 2010 software seems to have quite a few annoying glitches. However, this one is costing me time and money as the project is due. I tried to manualy type in the heading on the TOC but spacing goes crazy and will not allow me to line up the page numbers. As soon as I type all the periods running across the page and reach the page number, it splits the entry into 2 lines. No matter how I delete spacing and start over to type it in manually, the spacing issues won't allow it. Please help.

I also have the header updating problem!

My header levels are 3

the toc code is TOC\0 "1-3 \H\Z\U, although I have no idea what that means :)

it only uses my main heading and 2 occurences of my sub heading. there are 41 occurences that are still left out.

Please help

Word 2010 with Embedded Excel table becomes oversized for RDP Users

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:16 AM PDT

I originally asked this question on the SharePoint Online forums as this was the first time we've seen this issue. Original Post

Short version - we have a Word template with embedded Excel table created in SharePoint Online, and when a RDP user opens it, the document correctly opens in the local version of Word 2010 (not Word Online).   When the table is edited, it becomes larger to the point you can no longer view the entire table. 

We have done some testing with Word 2010 outside of RDP and everything works correctly, the embedded Excel table doesn't become oversized and works as expected.  It seems to definitely be an issue with RDP and I've been looking for any assistance on resolving this issue.

The template is a .docx file. All RDP users are in a 2008 R2 environment.

I am not sure what broke to try and fix it. I can't open any document it seems that one document broke every document I had. Any ideas I am completely stumped on this one.

Word Is Linking Back to Excel File That I Don't Need (or Want)

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 08:10 AM PDT

As background, I never use "paste link" when pasting a chart from Excel into Word and yet Word insists on creating a link back to the original workbook. I don't need or want the links because they cause all types of problems.  I've tried to fix this by going to "Edit Links in File" and "Break Link" but Word keeps a "Null" Source File link which then results in an error message.

Unfortunately, I can't use "Paste as..."

  • "picture" because I lose the ability to change the chart colors
  • "Microsoft Excel Chart Object" because it then embeds the workbook into the Word file (some of my Excel files are 10M

This leave me with the option of "Paste as Microsoft Office Graphic Object."  For what it's worth, about 20%-25% of the time, I can open a blank Excel file, create a chart and then paste the chart into a blank Word document and the links don't appear (but the other 80% of the time they do which is the problem).

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Macro to delete new carriage returns / new paragraph marks

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:38 AM PDT

Hello

I often paste text into Word that contains inappropriate line breaks that I'd like to delete. So far I've been using find&replace with the special/paragraph mark option, however I'd like to record a macro so that I can do this operation faster just by selecting a portion of text and pressing a keyboard shortcut that I will assign to that macro

Can anyone help me create such a macro? Many thanks!

Envelope Printing

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:10 AM PDT

Greetings!

Under Windows XP using my Microsoft Word (2007), my envelopes (Com-10 41/8 X 91/2) print perfect with all graphics and text displayed and printed on my HP Laser Printer.

When I try to print the same document from my Laptop (Windows 7) on my Brother Printer, the graphics get cut off in the  print preview. 

I tried to using the custom margins settings in the Brother printer by increasing the document which appears to resolve the issue when I view it in the Print Preview mode. However, when I go to print the envelope, it gives me an error message to load the correct paper. Any suggestions or recommendations?      

I have an HP Laser 1518ni Printer and a Brother MFC-J4510DW Ink Jet Printer

Quick Parts > Document Property

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 03:03 AM PDT

This is very hard for me to explain, i hope it is understandable...

I have used the document property fields in word quick parts to auto fill a form from a register which suits my purpose perfectly but there are not enough fields.

Only 14 which i can customise through the properties tab in developer section.

I have tried creating my own document property fields through advanced properties but they dont auto update, like the document property fields do.

How can I make my own fields that behave like document property?

problem office microsoft 2013

Floating tables in Word 2013 will not extend beyond the margin at the bottom of the page

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:45 AM PDT

I try to keep away from floating tables (ie with text wrapping) but there are time when they are really useful. One place where they work brilliantly is for a last page footer (eg a flyer type document) where I make they cover over the standard footer with the disclaimer text that needs to appear on the last page of the document.

In Word 2010 you can make a floating table extend beyond the margins and cover the footer at the bottom of the page. However if you open a document with this type of table in Word 2013 and then save the documents as a true '2013' document the table splits over the page (even if the table only consists of one row and the 'Split over the page' option is switched off).

I have also tried creating a table in a new Word 2013 document but I cannot find a way to make a floating table extend beyond / into the margin area at the bottom of the page.

Am I missing something or is this a new feature of Word 2013 and their tables.

MS Word 2010. Excel table font changing.

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:37 AM PDT

I'm not fully sure how describe the issue, but will to the best of my ability.

We have a system here that, when editing a table in Word 2010 after any edit or leaving the table, it changes the font. The toolbar doesn't seem to show any change. It appears to bold and becomes near unreadable and seems to reduce a the gap between the characters.

I am just about out of ideas as to what is happening and how to repair this. We have other computers opening the file(s) with no issues. 

I've tried restoring the settings to default, running the fix-it tool to restore defaults, wiped the word entry in the registry as well as the entire Office key. I've also removed the templates in appdata. It just appears to be this one system, no matter the account. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the Office twice now. 

I've also checked for missing fonts and Everything is fine and no errors are there.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Serious footnote bug in Word 2013

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 10:59 PM PDT

I have been trying for the last few hours to print a document and prepare it for publication in the near future.  To do this I need to export the document as PDF/A format.  Word 2013 fails to do that without trying to tell me that it can't find a file, asking whether it has been moved, deleted, etc.  The answer, of course, is no.  I can save to PDF format without problems but cannot save to PDF/A.

So, I try to print the document as a PDF/A rather than export.  It prints but I find that a number of the footnotes are doubled and even tripled in some places in the document even though the document has no tripled footnotes in those places.  In addition, the footnotes are supposed to restart the numbering for each page but on a number of pages this does not happen even though I set it to do that for the entire multi-section document.  This usually happens when I print to PDF/A using a PDF printer.  I saw it happen a couple times using the PDF export function in Word 2013.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect.  In fact, I have done it so many times that I have to call Microsoft each time I want to reinstall Office 2013 and do not want to go through that hassle again.  I have removed PDF Architect, thinking that might help.  Nothing helps.

I am approaching a deadline and really need this to work soon.  Suggestions?

the lower curve of the "e" is scraggy. I have that problem e. g. with Word/PowerPoint 2010 and can see the problem when I view the font in the Font Control Panel. Only size 18 is affected. Any hints?
