Office 2013, new files don't open onscreen and can't be opened on the toolbar from under a primary document - Word, Powerpoint, and Outlook

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 03:10 PM PDT

I'm using Office 2013 on a Windows 7 computer.  When opening a word file (with one already open), the new file used to open and display on screen.  Now it does not do that, but opens a new window on the toolbar (so I have two Word windows to alternate between on the toolbar).  When I try to toggle to it on the toolbar, the second window doesn't display a "preview" of the content like the other one and clicking on it causes nothing to happen.  So essentially, I can't toggle to the secondary window at all.  Sometimes it works ok with two windows but messes up on the third.  This also happens in Powerpoint and if I open multiple messages in Outlook.  I have not had multiple excel files open in awhile to test it there.

Why is Office behaving this way?  I need to be able to toggle between multiple open files and until recently I didn't have a problem.  Is this maybe a result of a recent update?  How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Jessica

Add empty lines to word template

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 01:54 PM PDT

After struggling to create a MS Word template for my letterhead, and succeeding (thanks to this group!) ... I have one more stumbling block to request help on.

After creating a large header to accomodate my preprinted letterhead stationery, I added a fixed date just below the header, using

Insert\quick parts\field\createdate

So my date is already inserted when I start my document based on this template. But my cursor is on the left side of the same line as the date, which is to the right on the same line.

I would like to put a couple of lines after the date field, so that I can start the recipient name, address, etc as soon as the document is opened.

I tried entering paragraphs. No help.

Any advice would be appreciated. I am close to completing this project!

Many thanks.

Jack

Can't Start Office

Turn off grammar check

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:26 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

My problem is that I am writing a Religious Book, and having to use many different Bible verses, and this is an example:

Isaiah 28:9-11

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. 

It keeps telling me that the "and whom" should be "And whom" and that the "them that are" should be "Them that are". But this is what the Bible says and I do NOT want to correct it, I want to leave it as it is. So I keep using the "Ignore once" feature and it stops with the squiggly green line for a bit but before I know it, it is right back there again. It is SO annoying! I have to put up with this with every chapter that I write. 

Why can't you just tell it to IGNORE that, and have it STAY ignored in that particular document at least? It is really distracting and all I can do is to turn off the Grammar checker altogether, which is not good, since then I have to remember to keep turning it back on again to check for other mistakes.

Office 7

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 09:11 AM PDT

I'm having problems opening both a word document and an excel spreadsheet.  More so with the word document.  What happens is when I try to open a new document or an existing one, it does not allow me to edit it.  When I do "control-alt-delete" and choose the task manger, a window pops up and shows Microsoft Bootstrapper and Word Document for tasks to end.  As a last resort, I've uninstalled Office 7 and reinstalled and it works fine, for awhile.  After a little over a week, it's right back to the same old problem.  I've uninstalled and installed at least 6 times over the last month or so.  Any idea what the problem might be?

Encryption for Office for Android

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 06:43 AM PDT

Why doesn't the Android mobile app allow me to open encrypted documents, or save them? Just a heads up devs, this is why I don't use OneDrive or the mobile Office app. Without encryption, it is useless to me.

While we're at it, how about the ability to save to a local folder? Or alter the default template?

Font colors are not retained when Paragraph styles are applied against Table cells in Microsoft Word

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 04:28 AM PDT

Hi,

I am experiencing an issue in Microsoft Word 2007/2010 wherein font colors are not retained when I apply paragraph styles (like Body Text, Normal) against table cells.

I noticed that this is happening even when the font color is "Automatic" for the paragraph styles

The same is not happening when I apply table styles against table elements.

Is there a restriction against using paragraph styles against Table cells?

Underlining won't print on areas of word Document

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 04:18 AM PDT

I use Mircosoft Office Home & Student 2007 and am having problems when printing out 'Word' documents

Where I have areas on a document that are underlined, the underlined areas are not showing at all or only one area is showing when printed out.

I initially thought this may be a printer problem but have tried every suggestion that has been made to me from the printer forum and everything was showing up normal

It was suggested that I print the documents in another format, so I pasted the content of the word document onto One Note and Powerpoint and in both instances the underlined areas printed out correctly which leaves me to believe that there is some error with the Word programme. I have also forwarded the documents to a friend for them to use their printer and again this was produced correctly

Can anybody come up with suggestions of what the problem may be

Word 2013 Mail Merge

Legal Style Headings

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 02:56 AM PDT

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question; however, it is as good a place to start as any I suppose.

First, I am a long time "LaTeX" user which gives me absolute control over my documents. I am now working in a position that requires me to use MS Office. Since I create mostly "legal" documents, I have been having all sorts of problems crating properly formatted material.

For instance, a new chapter in a legal document usually begins for example:

Article 1

Control of Noxious Growth

Now, try as I might, I cannot create that type of heading using any of the built in heading styles that Office has. I can create the formatted size, but not the LF/CR between "Article" and "Title". The numbering configuration page only gives an option for "Tab", "Space" or "Nothing". There should be a line feed option also.

Also, for some insane reason, Office insists on placing "Article" in the TOC. That is plain dumb. It should only place the number then the title. It is things like this that drive me crazy with Office.

I would appreciate any assistance available. I have tried Googling, but came up empty.

Selecting bold adds bold and italics to text

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 04:28 PM PDT

Since last week, any formatting in which bold is applied now displays as bold italics. Any attempts to add bold formatting also adds bold italics. Trying to de-select italics has no effect. It seems the style definition for 'Bold' is now 'Bold Italics' and thus cannot be changed in the style editor (since it only has 'bold' format selected, but defines bold as bold with italics). If I try to create a new style definition with just bold, it also creates bold with italics (since it now thinks 'bold' includes italics).

How do I restore normal bold (without having to do a system restore, if that would fix it) or resetting all Word settings to default (undoing all of my custom settings)?

Thanks for your help.

Home and Student 2010 problems

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 11:20 AM PDT

So I bought Microsoft Home and Student 2010 a year or 2 ago for my laptop. It was working fine up until I had to get my laptop repaired numerous times for hardware problems. I eventually got it repaired a month a go, I installed Office Home & Student (for 3 pc's and I'd only installed it once on my laptop) and it seemed to be working. However when I tried to get some work done and open documents I keep getting the message of it being an unlicensed product. I tried putting in the install disc again to try and repair features and see if that made a difference, it didn't. I went to Google and saw some suggestions like changing the settings because Publisher isn't a part of it so wan't working, I did that and it too made no difference. I saw other people saying to remove and re-install it and other people saying there is no need. I've also seen people saying you have to upgrade. I've already spent almost £200 on it, surely I don't need to upgrade again, do I? If anyone out there can possibly give me some hope of fixing this issue I will be very grateful.

'Set proofing language' has a mind of its own

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 09:28 AM PDT

Word 2010 on a Windows 8.1 computer, Spanish hardware and keyboard setting, software purchased online in English from Spain.

i have removed every reference i can find to the Spanish language, and i have set every place i can find to 'English' as default.

Still when i start an email or a Word document, the system insists on checking in Spanish first, even though i use English predominantly.

i have been to 'Set proofing language' where SpaNISH IS HIGHLIGHTED, CHANGED THAT TO eNGLISH, TICKED 'SET AS DEFAULT', clicked the option to 'change every document based on Normal template, and still if i click 'Set proofing language immediately (or on next opening a document) it proof reads in Spanish

i have been through every 'help'topic i can find on the subject, and am currently considering whether my first floor office is high enough to completely destroy my computer and its software if i throw it out!

Automated Table of Figures

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 08:57 AM PDT

My figure captions have long, explanatory notes, which continue on the same line as the actual figure number and main caption text (this is a requirement of the document - I can't change that). Is there any way of applying a style to part of a line and not the rest of the line/paragraph? I just want, e.g., Figure 1 Blah Blah Blah to appear in the automated table of figures but the style I apply is taken up by the entire text that follows this piece. Thanks in advance.

Very strange disappearing text and paragraphs in Office 2013 Pro

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 08:46 AM PDT

Okay, I swear this question has never been asked before. I've spent the better part of my life for the past two days scouring the internet for this issue.

First, qualifiers:

  • I am running Windows7 and Windows8.1 when this issue occurs.
  • I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus
  • It happens regardless of whether or not I have copied/pasted or typed manually
  • I am not using the overtype feature
  • I am using OpenType Features and alternative expert fonts (such as Linux Libertine, Minion Pro (Adobe), Calluna)
  • It happens regardless of whether or not I have OpenType features enabled.
  • It seems to not promulgate by the default font Calibri (tested in one place on one paragraph).
  • I have not experienced this behavior in any of the other Microsoft Office products other than Word (Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, Access).

Next, the behavior:

  • It happens at seemingly random times. When I'm typing, or copy/paste, a number of things will happen. First, my cursor will disappear, and part of a paragraphs text will be randomly missing from the screen. When I try to highlight the affected body of text, the "highlight gray" that covers the text also partially disappears. When I try to click and move my cursor to within the affected body, it also does not appear. When I go to remove part of the paragraph (usually the beginning), the missing text magically appears.
  • It also occurs when I'm returning to the beginning of a line. When I press enter at the end of any given paragraph, the end of the paragraph will disappear with the start of a new one.
  • When I go to print, the text also is not present. In fact, in many things I've done, my numbers, fractions, and list numerators do not appear in the print, even if they are present on the screen.
  • The problem is also present when exporting to a PDF of any kind.

Help?

Word 2013

Posted: 19 Sep 2014 07:05 AM PDT

I now have Word 2013 as part of a new Office Package.

It opens properly  and it is easy to use. However, I am finding that when a file is saved and closed it reopens in word 2003 mode ( not compatibility Mode) the next time I want to work on it .

I still have Office 2003 on the computer,

My question is, how can I stop recently created files opening in the old Word style and appearing in the folder with the old Word icon?

Do I simply remove the older program from the computer. If so how will that affect older files created before Office 2013 was installed ?

2) Same as above - winword  /safemode - nogo

3) Uninstall Reinstall - nogo

Not sure what else to do. Ran a microsoft fix it, nope.... 

The problem, is that when I open it - everything is blank. Other Office 2013 products work just fine. I can't see text, I can't see menu items, and when I try to download templates everything but the image is blank. I can't even see the ribbon. Not sure what else to try at this point...

Word Form - Buttons Stop Working

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 05:46 PM PDT

I have a Word form that has been used for several years, but doesn't work correctly in Word 2013.

There are a number of content controls and 2 buttons, one that emails the document and one that does a validation of the information entered. When we open the file in Word 2013, after working through the fields, when one scrolls back to the buttons, they do not work.

It's not that the code is failing, the button simply doesn't respond in any way to the mouse. ie, It doesn't appear to move, instead the outline and sizing handles appear around the button. This makes it impossible for the user to submit the form. It works perfectly in earlier versions of Word. There are two content controls near the buttons, and they too stop working. No cursor appears when you click in them, and no text appears when typing.

The only way to get the buttons to work again is to disable Protection, go into Design mode, then exist Design mode and re-protect the document. The two buttons are in an unprotected section of the form.

I need to find out how to get the document to work reliably in Word 2013.


Thanks

In word 2010, text converted to non-standard bottom border

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 05:05 PM PDT

I don't know what I must have done.  I'm proofing a large file (800 pages of mostly text) of short stories.  There are many places in the stories where a scene break exists - consisting of '***' centered on its own line.  These have ALL been replaced with a non-default bottom border, ie, a 3 point wide dotted line (small squares, actually) across the entire width of the line above. To be very clear, it is not an underline.  It's hard to believe that I somehow made such a global change, particularly because I'm still trying to replace the bottom border with the original line and aren't finding a find/replace for borders. 

I'm running 64-bit windows 7 and 32 bit Word.

For example:

These are the words before the scene break (denoted by ***)..

                    ***

These are the words after the scene break. 

And, to a small degree, it now looks like (except the underline is really a big fat border):

These are the words before the scene break (denoted by ***)..

These are the words after the scene break. 

My questions:

1.  how could I have done this (or could the change to bottom border be something in the document that was masked over and I hit the switch)?

2.  How can I fix this in a replace-all way?

thanks for any help you have to offer.  I spent some time looking for a previous question but didn't find anything useful.

How to mark a task as complete without adjusting the actual work Microsoft Project

How to mark a task as complete without adjusting the actual work Microsoft Project

How to mark a task as complete without adjusting the actual work

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 10:44 PM PDT

I want the task to be checked (Completed!!) and i want to be able to say
that i was able to complete this task in half the time and tell the boss that
i saves this much money on this task.

I use a view that includes a custom task field (number) that is the exact original estimate.
It is a non calculated enduring value. Baseline does the same thing and is nice because of the native
Gantt chart representation but sometimes that is too sophisticated. As Jan said the reporting comes
in; in your case; 
The custom task field has an enduring value of 4 which is the original work estimate, with no need to
understand baselines. I did it most for the convienence of not having to explain baselines to other users.
then just made them nice reports that show "We beat estimate!" on this task or "We went over estimate
on this task" Almost immediately there was a gain in focus on each assignment to beat estimate. PM's tightened
estimates, resources responded, and a balance was struck. "TRUE" estimates became visable, not ones with built in
bloat, trust was built between resource and scheduler. Resource started looking for root causes of why an assignment
would take longer or shorter. Almost always it had to do with someone messing with their flow, That is interruptions OR waiting
on a needed preconditon.

Good news, that is impossible to do. When you try it you get the message:

Customized Who Does What When

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 05:27 PM PDT

Hi John! I think I'm making this harder than it has to be. I went into the
Customize Fields screen and changed the values of the 20 flags to Yes. (Yes,
I have multiple resources on multiple tasks). But then I'm lost.

In the Resource Sheet, it shows all 20 custom fields under each resource
name and then in the Gantt view, no fields show.

If you have time, can you walk me thru this? I'm getting frustrated with my
inability to figure out what is probably an easy puzzle.

Thanks,
Patti

Schedule gaps

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 10:45 AM PDT

Hi,

So far so good!

Just a precision: don't be afraid of clear leveling.
Leveling introduces delays ands stores them on assignment level.
Clear leveling just puts them to zero.
That is why clear leveling is so much faster than leveling itself (can take
minutes on pools with many files); it is so much simpler.

Hope this helps.

How do I accomplish this kind of budgeting/resource allocation?

Patrick,
Well I'm glad you went back to proofread what you wrote - even if it was
after the fact. Many people just don't care. I even had one guy tell me
it was too much effort to bother with capitalizing. And these people
work in a professional environment? Wow.

Sorry, it's kind of a hot button with me.

When users put together a plan to secure budget there is always a
certain amount of "gaming" going on between the performers and the
providers. Unfortunately it is a no win situation. It might work the
first time but pretty soon management (or a customer) figures out the
the numbers are padded and they set or negotiate a budget accordingly.
So the user pads the next plan a little more and so it goes. In the end,
the plan isn't worth much because it doesn't represent anything and no
matter what the project the budget is never enough anyway.

I'm not sure there is a real answer because you're going against human
nature. The best scenario is to establish a honest working relationship
among the performers, management and the customer. Communication is the
key. My suggestion - put together the most honest plan estimate you can.
Don't shortchange yourself but also don't "pad" the plan. If you
management and customer are worth their salt, they will respect the job
you need to do to make the plan successful, and that is a win-win
situation.

That's my two cents anyway.

Microsoft Word - Why won't Microsoft Word's "Find" function work in some of my documents?

Why won't Microsoft Word's "Find" function work in some of my documents?

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 03:23 PM PDT

Sometimes Microsoft Word's "Find" doesn't work in my documents. I input a word that I can't see in the document, but Word won't find it. In fact, the "Find" function won't work for any word that I input.

Am I doing something wrong? The odd thing is that the "Find" function works in some documents but not others.

Keeping a table on one page

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 02:11 PM PDT

I am trying to keep a 6X10 table on one page, but I run into a very weird situation, following the selection of the 9 rows. When I go to Format>Paragraph>Line and Page Breaks in order to select "Keep with next", all 5 check boxes, besides "Widow/Orphan control", are already checked by Word itself. I don't know what else to do except reducing the number of the cells. When I reach the 49th cell, everything returns to normal. All 5 check boxes are cleared. The result is that I can't select more than 49 cells. Can someone explain what's wrong here?

Thanks

Defining a New Multi-Level List -- Saving it for new documents?

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 01:16 PM PDT

If I define a new multi-level list, is there a way to save it for quick use in later documents?  Perhaps name it?  

This morning I went through a big hassle to define a new numbering list.  When I started a new document, I want to use the same numbering scheme, but I don't see it in the numbering format dropdown box.

Mouse cursor jumps out of navigation pane when trying to 'find'

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:49 PM PDT

Hi,

I'm using Office 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop machine. When I hit Ctrl-F, the Navigation Pane opens on the left side of my Word document. The cursor is initially in the white textbox/search of the Navigation Pane, but it jumps back into the actual document itself if you do not start typing immediately. Additionally, even if you do manage to get something typed, it very quickly disappears and your cursor goes back to the document. 

It is extremely frustrating and seems to only be a problem in Word (no other applications). I just tried using the instance of Word 2010 on my machine, and it seems to be experiencing the same issue.

I am using a USB mouse. I have seen other people with this problem online (e.g., http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/1/tech-helproom/4451435/word-2013--find-and-replace-broken/) but have not seen any solutions which apply to me (mainly, most solutions involved touchpads on laptops.

I have checked for updates to Office, and restarted the program. The problem persists.

Any advice as to how to keep this from happening would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Shift to Read Only Macro

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:14 PM PDT

Hello - This is an Excel Read Only macro I have.  Is there something similar to word?  I'd like to shift between Read Only & Read/Write more easily than opening & closing the document.

Sub ReOpenReadOnly()

  Dim Fullname As String

 

  With ActiveWorkbook

    'New file?

    If .Path = "" Then Exit Sub

    'Already readonly?

    'Save the path\file name of the current file

    Fullname = .Fullname

    'Close it, ignore changes

    .Close False

  End With

  'ReOpen readonly

  Workbooks.Open Fullname, ReadOnly:=True

End Sub

creating master documents

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 11:37 AM PDT

We are attempting to create a master document from several word documents.  We insert a section (next page) break at the end of the first document "try" to keep the page/section numbers as created for each document.  Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.   Our biggest problem is when adding or deleting sections within the created master document, it totally destroys all formatting, page/section numbering and we have to either start all over or go back and modify each page/section.

We are creating these documents for very large project bid specifications and it is typical to have to add/delete sections, pages, from a contract book.

Recent folders not pointing to right locations

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 08:52 AM PDT

Clicking on any link in Recent folders during a save in Word 2013 just takes me back to the last save location and not the location I clicked on. I tried quick repair, online repair and then uninstall and reinstall (in that order) but the problem persists. I also checked the "number of unpinned recent folders parameter" in Options/Advanced and that is set to 5.

At a loss on how to fix this problem -- any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mail Merge not working - to word, from excel

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 08:46 AM PDT

I have never used mail merge before. I am using a document that I did not make. It supposedly was working last year. After I pressed "Update Labels", all of the labels looked like this. Why does it insert the formatting, and not the actual names/etc. ? How can I make this work correctly?

Searching for the Styles Formatting using shortcut

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 07:54 AM PDT

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to look for a specific formatting style without going through normal pathway:

  • Ctrl+F
  • Advanced Find
  • More
  • Format
  • Style

My aim is to avoid multiple mouse clicks and scrolls.

In this respect, VBL macro or shortcut combination will make my life as editor-beginner much easier.

Thank you all in advance,

Best regards,

Greg

Legal Documents: Integrating Numbered Headings and Styles

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 06:55 AM PDT

This may sound complicated, but I'm pretty sure it's possible.

I want to prepare documents that have auto-numbered section headings, with different levels, and then body text for the paragraphs. For example.

I.     MAIN HEADING

     A.   First Sub-Heading.

      

      This is the text paragraph.

     B.    Second Sub-Heading

     This is the next paragraph.

II.  SECOND MAIN HEADING

     A.  First Sub-Heading.

Etc.

I can kind of figure out how to modify a number style that I want.  But when I hit enter after entering the heading text, I want to get the body text style (not the next number).  And then, when I finish with the body text for that section, I want to easily be able to get back to the next heading level.

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I bought a copy of Word 2013 Bible just to figure this out, but I don't see it addressed at all.

Format Text Effect pane Word 2013

Posted: 18 Sep 2014 12:08 AM PDT

I am currently creating some notes for my blind students describing the different attributes and options in the Format Text Effects pane in Word 2013. I am testing each of the options so that I can write detailed descriptions. When trying to use the Soft Edges attribute both the Presets and Size options are greyed out. No matter what I select i.e. text, image,shape, WordArt etc will make thes eoptions available. What is this option used for in regards to text?

I can apply Soft Edges from either the Drawing Tools, the SmartArt Tools or the Picture Tools.

I have searched everywhere but can't find a solution to this question.

I know that in Word 2010 Soft Edges was available in the Font Texrt Effects diaLog but could only be applied to images, shapes, SmartArt and WordArt.

opening old word files

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:11 PM PDT

We have Word 97 files that I want to open in Word 2003. I followed the directions to modify the registry and they gave registry values for FilesBeforeVersion.  I put in the number given for Word 97 but Word 2003 kept giving the error message that it couldn't open the file. I kept trying values for older and older  versions but the only value that would work was 0. The article said it's better to not use 0 since the older versions have security risks.

Help appreciated.

Auto Populate Letterhead addresses

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 04:01 PM PDT

I am trying to create a standard template for business forms (letterhead, memo, fax, transmittal etc) that prompts you to select an office address in a list and then adds it to the form. We have 23 offices and we want to standardize the forms to not incluse every address (getting long). But rather select an address pre populated and then have it insert it.

I know ther has to be a way to do this. but I am struggling.

I have office 365 university 4 year subscription but the download is for home premium retail

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:51 PM PDT

Ok so I was doing an assignment for class and it told me to apply a theme that wasn't showing up for me. I contacted my instructor who basically said I had to have Word 2013 to do the assignment, she was no help at all.

So I'm wondering if the discrepancy is due to the download being the home premium retail and not the actual university? I only have 9 themes on my just now freshly re-installed office 365. At school there are quite a few more themes in Word and they're using 365 university.

Word 2013 - Create path on separate line from filename in footer

Posted: 17 Sep 2014 03:03 PM PDT

We work on a corporate network with lots of departments, within various groups, with lots of locations.  The hierarchy to finally get to the directory for my department is extensive, and if the file name is very long, the text encroaches into the area for page numbers.  In a footer in Excel, I can simply put &[Path] on one line with &[File] on the line below it and "Voila!", the path is on the top line and the file name is on the bottom line.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Word... rather it's filename alone or path and filename all on one line.  Can anybody help create a macro or ??? to show only the path?  TIA for your help!  KBo
