Office 2003 can't open 2007 or newer files. Converter installed.

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 02:52 PM PDT

I am A+ Certified since 1998. Windows XP 2003 Pro, Office 2003, Office SP3, installed 2007 converter file from MS. Still won't work. MS no longer supports XP so not many new updates since April 2014. My other computer, Dell, same setup as this one, would not convert newer files either until I read somewhere that it WILL NOT WORK UNTIL you add this ONE update (or other file from MS). SO I installed the converter program and after I updated that ONE file...it worked and has worked fine for me. So I tried to install all of the updates on this computer that the Dell computer has, nope, won't convert nwerer files in Word or Excel. Haven't tried Power Point or Publisher or Access yet. Why bother.

There is an article SOMEWHERE, that will tell which one is the critical update.

Does anyone have this single, imperative UPDATE file? Or perhaps there is an other work around?

Microsoft Word 2010 Backspace Doesn't Change List Level

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 02:51 PM PDT

Hi,

I have been using bullets and levels on MS Word 2010 for quite some time. In the past, tab would intent and go lower in the list level when using bullets (i.e. from level 1 to level 2). Similarly, backspace would go back one level (i.e. level 2 to level 1) which was very convenient.

Today, for some reason, the backspace function has stopped working. Instead, the "enter" key now performs the function that my backspace key used to perform. (Tab works just fine). I wanted to know if there was a way to go back to the backspace function I used before since I am accustomed to that.

I tried going into Word options and unchecking/rechecking the "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces" option but that did not solve the issue.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Re: Figure Captions - Two Ways to Insert Captions - Differences?

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 02:12 PM PDT

Greetings All -

My question is in regard to inserting Figure captions in MS Word 2013.

In my office, documents go through several sets of hands and eyes prior to submission.

This can sometimes result in odd things happening to the documents, including figure captions that start to "float".

My immediate supervisors have reached the conclusion that Figure captions are more stable when inserted via the references tool bar,

rather than right clicking on the figure and using insert caption from there.

I am now going through a process of clearing the formatting on hundreds of Figure captions, deleting them, and then re-inserting them using the "Reference" tool bar icon, rather than the right click and insert caption method which I had initially used.

IF this makes the documents more stable, I am willing to do it. 

That said, I do question whether this instruction, which will take hours if not days of work, is actually based on real differences between the two methods of inserting captions.

If it is not, can someone suggest another way to prevent the "floating captions" issues that sometimes occur when I get my documents back?

I have been roundly criticized for documents that look perfect on my screen, but terrible on those of reviewers.

There was a history of that problem being due to differences in MS Word versions, I was unfortunate in that my MS Word was updated before that of others in my office. Then when theirs was updated, I had compatibility mode checked, and they did not., which also caused problems.

At this point, I believe all of us are using the same version of MS Word, with the same compatibility mode settings, but the problem of captions that start to "float" after passing through multiple hands remains.

Any advice?

Thanks.

End notes and Table of Authorities

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 01:24 PM PDT

I have a document with endnotes that have citations in them.  I have marked the citations.  When I try to generate the Table of Authorities, it tells me that there are no authorities marked.  I know the cases/citations are marked, I see the TOA codes and I am very familiar with how to mark them.  I generally use footnotes and not endnotes.  So I decided to convert the endnotes to be footnotes.  I then tried to generate the TOA, and it DID generate a TOA with my citations.  So why can't a TOA be generated from citations in endnotes?  This particular document we want as endnotes so that the citations appear at the end of each section, not at the bottom of the page.

Import PowerPoit slides to Word 2007

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 09:38 AM PDT

Hello!

I am writing a document in Word2007. It has diagrams and schemas, that I draw in PowerPoint (since it has more tools than Word). I want to import the shemas into Word file. One option I know is to select the slide, and copy it into Word. BUT it is seen in Word only as a picture.

I would like to see the slide in Word as a field, so it could allow me to edit the slide in PowerPoint, and then Update the field in Word and see all the changes I made in PowerPoint.

Currently I have to copy the slide again into word, after I made changes in Powerpoint.

Could you please say, is something like that possible?

Is it possible with excel? (That would allow to do the following: I have a field in Word that **** to a table in Excel, I edit the table in Excel and see the changes in Word?)

Thank you!

How to make a Word macro open an Excel document

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 09:23 AM PDT

I have created a macro in Word that opens an Excel document.  It works great in Word 2010 and it works for those who have edit rights in Word 2013.  If the user does not have edit rights, then it will not open and they get an error that highlights the line that begins with Shell.

I need this to work for those who have Word 2010 and Word 2013.

Here is the code:

  If lstForms.ListIndex = 37 Then
   
    Shell ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE  R:\IPSCMACROS\VOLTSTrainedObservers.xlsx"), vbNormalFocus
   
           Unload Me
           Application.Quit
     End If

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

NEED HELP Please - Hide Command Buttons so they will not print (without using CommandButton_Click event)

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 08:51 AM PDT

I am having a terrible time trying to figure this out. I have a word 2010 document that has 4 separate forms in one, separated with next page breaks. At the top of each form, I have a command button that when clicked, will delete the section the button is in--thus, removing the command button as well. The user needs to be able to see these command buttons in order to choose which ones to delete. There will be at least one left that would need to somehow not print when the user fills out the form and then prints it. I have tried to mark the font hidden for each command button, but the user would need to know to turn on their show/hide button OR have show hidden text checked in Word's option settings. Neither of these works for my users, as there are many, many users and now way of globally telling them all to do this. Any help would GREATLY be appreciated! Thanks

Word - Envelopes and Labels - Printing issue

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 08:06 AM PDT

There is a problem with printing Envelopes and Labels from the Envelopes and Labels dialog and printing to HP printers. When clicking "Print" from the dialog, the job is sent to the printers bypass tray (Tray 1) with the correct media size information, but fails to inform the printer what type of paper it should be printing on. This causes the printer to assume you're printing on the default type of media in Tray 1, and if Tray 1 is set for "Any Size, Any Type", it defaults to the printers default type, which is typically "Plain". If the printer thinks it's printing on plain paper, and a label or envelope is sent through, the toner will not fuse properly to the thicker media, causing it to flake off.

For example:

I am using the Envelopes and Labels dialog in Word to print an address on an envelope. I open the "Options" and the "Feed from:" setting is "Default tray (Automatically Select)". I click "OK" and then "Print". I look at my HP printer, and it's asking me for "PLAIN ENV #10" media to be put into Tray 1. 

In this example, PLAIN ENV #10 is asking for the media type of plain paper (PLAIN), the size of a #10 envelope (ENV #10). When the printer prints on plain paper, the fuser doesn't need to get very hot, and it prints fast. When the printer prints on an envelope, the fuser needs to heat up more to penetrate the multiple layers of paper, and it slows down to aid in the heat process and to reduce the chance of creasing the envelope. When an envelope is sent properly to the printer, the display will read "ENV ENV #10", which is specifying the media type to be an envelope (ENV), and the media size to be a #10 envelope (ENV #10).

My question is: Can the Envelope and Labels dialog be set permanently to default to the type of media it's eluding to printing on regardless of if the tray 1 of the printer is set to "Any Size, Any Type". If not, why is the dialog capable of specifying a media size, but not a media type? Shouldn't it be assumed that the media type would be an envelope or label when printing from the dialog?

I am a printer technician who has seen this issue happening for years, and the end-users typically get frustrated with the printer instead of the dialog.

Updating Letterhead footer across documents

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 06:56 AM PDT

In our small company one person maintains the letterhead template on a shared server - \\servername\public\letterhead.dotx. The file is closed for 99% of the time. The footer of the letterhead, (a first page footer) which is a multi-row table, changes frequently as key individuals start and leave the organisation.  The table is bookmarked as Letterhead_Footer.

We are creating a word mailmerge document/report pulling data from our in-house database, but need this mailmerge to have the updated (i.e. current) Letterhead_Footer within its own first page footer.  We assume that it is impractical to rebuild this and other such reports every time we change the Letterhead_Footer.

Can anyone advise me of the best method to achieve this, please?  Some VBA code?  or is it by inserting a cross reference (can this be done across documents?).

Many thanks

Lengthy Word 2007 Documents Mysteriously Becoming Read-Only

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 06:41 AM PDT

Hi,

I am really good about saving documents several times while working on them. I use keystrokes. Thus, pressing CTRL-S after I type each paragraph is not unusual, for I have been doing so for many years!

However, lately something very strange has been occurring whenever I work on a Word 2007 document that is even a bit lengthy: I'll type the first paragraph, and then press CTRL-S, and everything is as expected. While no dialog box appears, I know that my document has been saved. I'll then do the same routine for the next few paragraphs and again everything is as expected. Thus, again, while no dialog box appears, I know that my document has been saved.

Then, I'll try to do a simple save once again by pressing CTRL-S after a paragraph later in the document, and the unexpected occurs: A "Save As" dialog box appears, which is strange. When I try to save the document via the "Save As" dialog box, I get a message, stating that my file is "Read Only"!

Why is this happening? Could I make it stop?

My operating system is Vista.

Thanks.

How do I not print a Watermark but still print images?

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 03:05 AM PDT

My job requires me to to fill out standard documents frequently (customs documents that have to be printed on original papers issued and stamped by customs).

I would like to use a Watermark background in the Word files we use, so that we can place text exactly where we want it to appear on the document. Instead of using Enters, Tabs and spacings.

I have figured out how to set this Watermark background and how I can make sure that this Watermark is not printed. (By checking off "Print drawings created in Word")

However this is not desirable for our company because we have a lot of other documents which do require us to print these drawings.

Is there any way to get around this or can you suggest another program that would give us a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Trouble inserting a HTML file in Word

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 02:18 AM PDT

I'm having a problem with Word 2013.

I've recently upgraded from Office 2010 and I now can't insert a HTML file into my Word 2013 document.  

I'm inserting an object by creating it from a file.  Browsing to the HTML doc, and selecting Display as an Icon.  Once I hit OK I get the error:

The program used to create this object is htmlfile. That program is either not installed on your computer or is not responding.

A quick internet search shows that this can happen for quite a few OLE type inserts, but in my case Excel, Acrobat etc etc do work.  I'm only getting the issue with HTML files.

Before the upgrade everything worked fine.  I've tried an Office repair, but it hasn't worked.

Has anyone get a solution for HTML that doesn't involve a work around to insert the file as text or similar?  I have to be able to insert the file as it's supposed to.

Thanks

Modifying Heading Styles Numbers Lists in Word 2013

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 10:10 PM PDT

We have a template that applies Outline Numbering to the Headings styles.  All the Headings styles have the following properties except for Heading 6:

Bullets and Numbering

       List: Outlined numbered

   Level: # (where # is the number of the Heading style, e.g., 1 for Heading 1, 2 for Heading 2, etc.)

However, Heading 6  shows the following:

Bullets and Numbering

       List: Numbered

   Level: 1

Because of this setting, whenever we apply a Heading 6 style after a new Heading 5, the Heading 6 will continue the numbering from the previous Heading 6 and will not restart at 1.

I can find no way to change Heading 6 to Outlined number and the shaunakelly.com website does not address this issue so please don't refer me to this website.

Any suggestions on how to reset the Heading 6 to Outlined numbered?

Word 2013 bug when editing in a table

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 06:02 PM PDT

I installed Office 2013 Professional Plus (32-bit version on my 64-bit processor*) a few days ago. Word 2013 is doing something strange that Word 2010 never does. Namely, when I am doing a routine edit inside a table, often (but not always) the table suddenly appears to become much wider than the window. If I do ctl-Z, the correct display comes back, and if I repeat the exact same edit, it almost always works OK.

* Because when I tried to install the 64-bit version, it refused, saying that there were some MS 2010 programs that interfered with it. I could not find any to uninstall (???) so I had to settle for the 32-bit version.

Microsoft Word 2007 document format changing

Hello!  I am having an issue with a Microsoft Word 2007 document that is created at a remote office, moved to a network drive and then opened in the central office.  When I open the document that was created by another user (also using Word 2007) the first page is fine but starting at the end of the second page I have an additional sentence which should be the first sentence of the third page. The problem compounds through the rest of the pages. Any help regarding settings or printer drivers or anything else would be greatly appreciated!! 

Microsoft Word - How do I print correct order for the second side, manual load page printing?

How do I print correct order for the second side, manual load page printing?

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 03:16 PM PDT

I have a 17 page newsletter, which when printed, using the Manual Load for the other side, works correctly on the ODD pages. The stack comes out in reverse order, such that page 1 is on the top of the stack, as expected.

The program then says to reload the stack to print the other side. I put the stack in, expecting the final result to be that the pages will be ordered such pag 2 is on the other side of page 1, and so forth. However, what happens is the program prints the wrong sequence, such that page 18 is on the other side of page 1, and so forth down to page 2 on the reverse side of page 17.

While researching these archives for an answer, one of the MVPs suggested to someone else to enable the "Reverse Pages" command, which if capable, would solve the problem. However, when the command is issued to insert the stack, there is no option to reverse the pages, that I could find.

Is there a setting that I overlooked that would enable the stack to be ordered correctly?

Normally, with a dumb program I would do a first pass to print "Odd, Forward" and the second pass as "Even, Reverse". 

To be fair, I am new to this program, but I worked with other word processors over the years, but unfortunately, none of them match up to the need of this project newsletter.

Mail Merge with Datasource and Mail Merge Letter on Network Drive

Fill In The Blank Document Templates? How do I do this?

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:40 AM PDT

I think this is probably basic, but I can't figure out where to start.

I often create the same documents over and over, just changing the names.  Letters are an obvious example. 

I would like to create a template property formatted for business letters.  I'd like it to open a new letter with the proper margins and have my letterhead at the top.  I'd like the cursor to start where the date goes and to have a fill-in option to either add the date code or manually enter the date.  Then I'd like to hit tab and have the cursor go to the  "BY" line, with a fill-in for "United States Mail," Federal Express," etc.  Then I'd like to hit tab and have the cursor go to the addressee.  Type in the person, hit tab, type in the address, tab, city, tab, etc.  continue to the area for the body, and then have the signature block at the end.

I thought this would be a form.  But if it is, I can't figure it out.  I've done many google searches, but I'm finding either "mail merge" letters or simple letterhead templates (without the fill in form placeholders).

Can someone point me in the right direction?

(The annoying this is that 20 years ago I could set this up in Word Perfect in about 5 minutes.)

I can't Find My Templates

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:03 AM PDT

I'm pretty sure I need to click a setting somewhere.

When I "Save As" for a template, I choose "Word Template".  I note that the options in the drop down box don't show the file extensions (i.e., .doctx).  Is there a setting to show this?  (I've watched some videos on-line, and the file extension is visible.).

I then name and save the template in a Folder "Word Templates".  However, when I open that folder, either in Windows Explorer or using the "Open" function in Word, none of the templates appear.

Help?  

Thank you.

Word 2013: Basic Stuff -- What is a Style Set

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:41 AM PDT

When I open a new, blank document, there are a bunch of styles in the style box on the Home tab.  Is this one "Style Set"?  If so, does it have a title?

When I go to the Design tab, there a bunch of things in the ribbon that look just like the box of styles on the Home tab -- but I think they're different. Is each of these a "Style Set"?

If I hover over the thing in the Design tab, it tells me, I guess, the name of the Style Set, i.e., "Basic (Elegant)".  How can I know what the styles are for this set?  

Do I click it and go back to the Home tab to see all of the Styles that are in that set?  And for each Style I need to hover over it to see what it does?  

Has the person who designed this been fired?

Shared files sent from word don't show up on outlook sent folder

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 07:08 AM PDT

Using Office 2013 on Win 8.1. Can successfully share documents via email from within Word but when I look at the Outlook Sent folder there is no evidence the file was sent although I know it was received. Why doesn't it show up in Outlook (which BTW is the only email read/send on my Surface Pro 2). This is turning out to be a major problem!

NEED HELP PLEASE - Hide or delete command buttons when printing a Word 2010 document

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:07 AM PDT

Is there a macro for printing that will hide several command buttons? The command buttons have nothing to do with printing, so I'm not looking for the hide event when the button is clicked. Their function is to delete the pages within its section. I read about using hidden text, but then the user has to have the show/hide button on, and they would not know that. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

Possible incompatibilities with previous versions

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 04:51 AM PDT

I have made several word documents that are advertisement flyers with pictures and text. I made them with a previous version of Word. I have recently had my computer replace with a new one and a newer version of office. I am using office 2013 currently. When I open any of my previous documents they are a mess when they open. Instead of 2 pages they are 3 pages and the text is all wrong. Things are just scattered all over the place. I have a lot of time invested in these documents and I would rather not start them all over again. Can 2013 just open a previous version without messing it up?

Footnotes end higher up on the page than normal text

Posted: 23 Sep 2014 03:39 AM PDT

I'm working on a document with footnotes. On the pages where there is a footnote, the text ends higher up on the page than it should--ie, the footnote stops well above the footer. On pages where there are no footnotes, this doesn't happen--the text goes all the way to the end of the page. This means that some pages have a lot of white space at the bottom without any reason for it. I've checked the footnote formatting, and it is Bottom of page.

I can live with a little difference in spacing but this is annoying. Do you know why Word is doing that?


Thanks!

Issue with Dhivehi Printing

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 11:23 PM PDT

We are having an issue of printing documents written in Dhivehi in Microsoft Word 2013. When printed, the format changes and some of the text is missing. Even if the document is changed to PDF, the same happens. We found it to be happening after Word 2013 being updated as before that it works fine. So we assume that it is due to an update.

It has been checked with different Dhivehi fonts including the default MV Boli. Attached please find a Word document and how it has been changed in PDF.

 

Appreciate if a solution for the issue could be provided as soon as possible.

Automatic picture numbering with chapter number (own caption style)

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 10:10 PM PDT

Good morning,

I want to number my pictures in Word 2013 as follows: "Pic. x.y" where x is the actual chapter number and y the number of the picture in this chapter.

My problem is that I created my own style for captions. In the menu for automatic picture numbering I can only choose the standard word styles for captions and not my own styles. 

How can I fix this problem?

Thank you and best regards,

C.S.

Cannot open .dot files when i double click

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 06:55 PM PDT

Hi there,

I've upgraded my MS Office from 2007 to 2010 using OS Windows 7 64bit & started working on Office WORD & it was OK, BUT when trying to open a .dot & .dotx file it can not OPEN when i double click on the file BUT i can see it running on the background processes. BUT when i open a Blank or New Document & trying opening a .dot file it opens OK. However, this process so frustrating, is there any way I can fix this BY just double click on the  .dot file & it opens?

Paragraph justification problems

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 04:45 PM PDT

In editing a manuscript, I am going through each chapter using Ctrl H - (Find and Replace) to locate the changes I want to make.  All of the sudden I am seeing a problem I have never seen before.  When I click on replace, the whole paragraph where the change has been made ends up being right justified.  I contacted Microsoft support and they logged onto my computer and after an hour they reloaded Word and disconnected. 

I am using Word 2013 and pay the monthly support fee so I should have the latest updates. 

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?  I have never had a problem with Word like this before.

Thanks

Cannot Remove a OneDrive "Place" in Microsoft Office

Posted: 22 Sep 2014 03:39 PM PDT

Hello,

In Microsoft Word 2013, if you click on File - Add A Place - OneDrive, and enter your Windows Login Information: it creates a new Onedrive "Place" for easy file saving. The problem is removing this "Place". I unknowingly added my Onedrive as a new "Place" on a friends Microsoft Word 2013 account, and now am unable to remove it. It is very important that I find a way to remove this, since I don't want him to constantly have access to my files. In addition, his machine is experiencing other technical difficulties, so he would like to remove my OneDrive for troubleshooting purposes.

Please help me find a way to remove my OneDrive Place from his Microsoft Office Account.

Thank you in advance for any assistance,

Luc

How to startup in text mode console

Posted: 20 Mar 2007 01:33 AM PDT

Ciao Davide Bianchi,

Grazie per la risposta, ma purtroppo non riesco a leggerla;
infatti leggo i newsgroup da Web e per la tua riusposta nel
thread non viene visualizzato il link ipertestuale.

Ho comunque risolto il problema facendo l'installazione
da consol testuale; al boot mi viene presentato il prompt dei comandi
della console testuale. Io devo modificare il file di configurazione
di X in modo tale che la scheda video produca una risoluzione
1280 x 1024 a 60 Hz; è appunto questo file che ora non riesco a
trovare perché me ne sono dimenticato il nome.

Puoi dirmi qual è questo file?

Grazie,

Francesco

config iptables to allow NFS-mount thru firewall: how?

NFS support daemons (mountd, rpc.lockd, etc) use dynamic ports for RPC.
You will have to lock down to a specific set of ports in
/etc/sysconfig/nfs. Here is an example:

MOUNTD_PORT=777
RQUOTAD_PORT=778
LOCKD_TCPPORT=779
LOCKD_UDPPORT=779

Allow these ports through your iptables rules, in addition to 'nfs' and
'sunrpc'.

Do I need AMD Athlon 64 Cool'n'Quiet Driver for Linux?

At least for me (running a socket-939 Opteron 185), this gives:

And "/proc/cpuinfo" shows the clock speed that the CPU is running
with at the moment (quite idle):

| steffen@pc01:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz"
|
| cpu MHz : 1004.647
| cpu MHz : 1004.647

When loaded, it goes up to:

| steffen@pc01:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu MHz"
|
| cpu MHz : 2612.082
| cpu MHz : 2612.082

Getting results like these will show you that CnQ is working correctly.

HTH!

How to reduce partition size - safely?

I've used Partition Magic quite often with success. It allows me to

I guess I should have ran this experiment beforehand, but for the
record, at least with 2.6.20.1, which would also make me think that
2.6.20 is the same way, cramfs is not needed for a simple RAM
disk. The 2.6.20.1 I built has no cramfs support built in, and I just
used it to boot a mini-system (one floppy only) disk without cramfs
nor kernel modules support.

Prehaps (the OP) changed something else during the rebuild that
accounted for this, in addition to cramfs, than forgot it was
changed. Wrong disk-controller support prehaps? If the disk can't be
read due to a controller problem, the kernel cycles thru the
filesystems it has trying to read a disk it won't be able to.

exactly what shud i edit in the file....??

plz reply....

OK... what you need to do is kill the X-server with the key-combination I
told you about and do that when your PC is already booted... if that doesn't
get you to a command prompt... try using a LiveCD like knoppix to mount your
HD and edit the file from there.

I said you should issue 'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf', nano is a text edit so
that not a prompt anymore and then you should quit nano (saving first of
course) by hitting Ctrl-C (I think, but its marked anyway).

What you should add is these lines:

HorizSync xx-xxx
VertRefresh xx-xxx

under Section "Monitor"

and make sure you replace the x's by the refresh rates from your monitor's
manual.

If you're afraid... don't be, just try... that how I figured out these
things too... and for these kind of problems there's plenty of documentation
by just googling too.


Sincerely,

Stéphane
