I am having this problem with Windows 8 - I have installed Office 2013 at least 5 times and it still will not run.  Since there is no "start" option on my startup menu, what do you suggest?

Unable to open Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student

I am unable to open the Word and Excel program or any files. Whenever I click to open the programs I get a message "Unable to open" and the suggestion to use Control Panel to repair the files, which I have done. The Control Panel said that files were successfully repaired but I still get the message and cannot open the files or programs.

Please would someone help.

Document content missing

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 11:39 AM PDT

Split from this thread.


On 4 or 5 occasions, including this morning.  I had saved a document, plus it was automatically saving.  When I got ready to upload the document it said it was in a docm form, so the I could not load the document.  I did save as word for word 2013, when I opened it again all of my work, except the title page and one reference on the reference page had disappeared.  I had this problem when I first installed office 2013, so in the past I had been very cautious and didn't save on my portable drive.  I have looked everywhere but nothing shows up in any locations and it doesn't even have the option to restore the previous version.

Can "Ignore All" be made persistent?

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 11:14 AM PDT

This is for Word 2010, but I've had the same yearning for all versions of Word before that, ever since I switched from WordPerfect.

I often work on documents that use unusual words, or made-up words. When I spell-check, they are always identified as spelling errors.

I do not want to add them to my dictionary, because in another document I might very well want the spell checker to identify them as spelling errors.

I do not want to create a custom dictionary, because I would be creating a different one for every document I work on (very cumbersome).

If I use "Ignore All" I can get Word to ignore the word wherever it appears in the document, but I have to do that again each time I re-open the document. Very cumbersome if I have 50 such words in each document and have to re-Ignore-All all of them each time I open the document.

As a result of this, the spell checker has become pretty much useless to me since the squiggly red line below a word has lost its meaning.

WordPerfect used to have an Ignore-All type feature, which would persist between sessions. I think it was called a Document Dictionary. It was specific to the particular document. Is there any way to get the same effect in Word, perhaps with a macro or VBA?

I am not a macro or VBA programmer, so though I've tried to program this, I haven't gotten very far. Initially I thought there might be a VBA function to create variables that would stick with the document and would persist across sessions, and that I could implement a "document dictionary" using such variables. Then one macro would first do an "Ignore All" for the selected word, and then add a selected word to the document dictionary. A second macro, which would execute on open, would automatically do an "Ignore All" for every word in the document dictionary.

Another thought I had was to use the Language -> Do not spellcheck this word feature. One macro would search for a selected word throughout the document and "do not spellcheck" it wherever it appeared. That would persist across sessions, but I'd have to re-run the macro if I add the word somewhere else in the document.

Has anyone created a macro or set of macros that can implement a persistent, document-specific "Ignore-All" feature?

Thank you

Word 2007 window open unexpectedly

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 10:17 AM PDT

I realise when I open a Word 2007 document from "Recent Item" option or from a folder, the last minimised Word 2007 document opens up. When I open a Word 2007 file, it maximises the last minimised Word file as well.

I realise, it opens the Word 2007 document I selected, and the last Word 2007 document I opened (minimised) also maximises. I do not want that. It is not about opening more than one tab, but Word 2007 document maximising unexpectedly. Is there some option to get rid of this feature?

Use a Macro to "Edit Recipient List" in Word 2010

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 09:08 AM PDT

I have an Excel database with the following fields:  Volunteer Name; Days of the week (Mon to Sat); & Skills Required.

Under days of the week it is either the early or late shift the work.  For each skill column, it is either Yes or No.

I have a Word mail merge document that creates a table with the volunteers and the skills they possess.  To create a report for each shift on each day, I edit the recipient list.

I tried to record a macro that would capture the actions in the Edit Recipient List, but it does show any steps.

By hand, I select All for each day of the week and then select the single shift I want, i.e.  Monday Early.

Is there a way to edit the recipient list using a macro?

AutoCorrect entries are missing

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:12 AM PDT

Split from this thread.


I have had a bummer of a thing occur. I'm in the middle of writing a time-crunched and very big report. I spent a couple of hours last week making some fantastic new autocorrect entries (Word 2010) but within a few days they had all disappeared. I've looked through these and other forums and I've tried a few things, but honestly I don't know about making macros or normal templates and I've even struggled to find the *acl entries, so I am prepared to wear the loss and start again.

BUT I want to get it right from the very beginning. Could you please outline steps I can take to ensure my autocorrect entries never disappear again or, if they do, which for whatever bizarre reason seems to happen a lot, that I can easily go to some backup file (which I'd commit to updating each time I make a bunch of new autocorrect entries) and wave a wand and restore it.

I'd be so grateful for your help.

Many thanks

In printing out an an envelope (using the Custom Envelope size), does not print out an address

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:11 AM PDT

In Word there is an option, to allow the user to set a Custom Size for an envelope.

1)  In Word 2013, I set the Custom Size for an envelope, added the From/To Address and printed out the envelope on my Epsom LP1022 - unfortunately, the envelope came out blank.

2)  I did exactly the same in Word 2010, but the envelope was printed out, with text on it.

I did (1) & (2) a few times, but the results were the same - so does this mean that there is a bug with Word 2013?

Extra (useless) headings appearing due to summary addition

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 02:12 AM PDT

Hello, there!

When I add the summary to the one of my documents, the navigation pannel displays extra headings that shouldn't be there (marked in red in the first figure). I don't know why this is occurring and would like to change it by eliminating them. This is important to me because this document needs to be converted to PDF with the correct headings (without the highlighted part). The second figure shows how the PDF is now.

I think you'll have to look at the IIS logs. Compare it to what happens
when another user successfully logs in. Normally, a user will GET
/Exchange, and then be redirected (status 302) to /Exchange/Alias . What
happens when this user tries it, and what are the HTTP response status codes
that are logged at the end of each attempt.

remove it from the Outlook clients and turn it off. Then
prepare to do a LOT more maintenance and make
sure your backup system is in very good shape and

more cost effective than on Exchange.

This sounds like a possibility. I will be loosing IP connectivity to the GW

find a plug-in to connect Outlook to the GW server? I'm hoping not an "arm
and a leg" third party connector.

Assuming a valid connector, this could be accomplished form a single PC.
Connect to a user's GW mailbox, move the contents to the .PST files. Open
the PST file on the user's reconfigured PC, at which point the items could
be left in the PST or moved to the server based mailbox.

Change the GW configuration and do it again for the next user.

I don't think they need to "fix" your ability to use their server as an open

But if they have Exchange and are running a Pix, they need to remove the

In Std. Edition you have 5 Stores available, which bumps up to 50 in
Enterprise. It's your call how you want to distribute mailboxes - if you
restricted 1 customer to 1 Store you can host a max of 5
domains/organizations/customers on a Std. Edition box. Locating more than 1
customers on 1 Store doesn't really have any cons except if you're
journaling mailboxes - premium journaling is more granular and still
available to Std. Edition by using Enterprise CALs.

I'm using Office Home and Business '13 on Win 7. I've had this PC and Office for over a year, problem just started today. Help, I can't save anything.

TIA.

numbering comments in Word

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 02:12 PM PDT

In previous versions of Word, the "bubbles" where I write Comments would number the comment.  Apparently, that no longer happens automatically in Word.  (I think I have "Office for Home, Business School," or something like that- it was preinstalled on a Dell I purchased in July.).  Does anyone know how I could set Word to have the comments numbered, and the numbers displayed?

Line Spacing In WORD Documents

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 01:50 PM PDT

Hi: I am not a frequent user of Word or Excel, but usually manage by exploration and availing of the "help" feature.

One frequent frustration concerns line spacing. I often create technical or other documents where I must crowd explanatory text at the bottom. I use narrow or custom margins to create needed space.

But, in spite of that tactic, I still must squeeze text using small point size and minimal line spacing. The line spacing tab on the ribbon seems to permit minimal spacing using point size as the criteria.

However, when I select or enter small point size the result is text with the tops or bottoms of the line of text chopped off. I just do not comprehend how a person should be using the line spacing feature or why it chops the text off.

Here is what I want to achieve: Say my text size is 1/4" (forget points for a minute). And I need 1/16" spacing between each line in order to squeeze all the needed data at the document bottom. As another example I have 1/2" high text and I want 1/8 line spacing?

Word seems to thwart my attempts based on some mysterious unknown ratio of line spacing to type size. And that would make sense in many cases to provide a legible good appearing document. But that ratio should be easy to override. I am struggling with the same problem in Excel.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron Reeland

word 2013 won't open word files sent by mac user

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 11:30 AM PDT

I've had this problem on and off for a couple months.  Any thoughts? 

I've noticed that sometimes shutting down and restarting the computer will fix the problem, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the file.  In all cases, it's been a word file sent to me by someone using a mac to my host based outlook 2013.

Thanks,

Can't open ACL files

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 11:06 AM PDT

Hello

I have found my .acl files but cannot open them. I double click and can't open them, even when I open IE to do so. It does nothing. Is there something I am missing about these files? I'm not at all familiar with them, but I do know how to double-click!

Many thanks

Jane

Using Word as an Alternative to Scrivener

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 07:46 AM PDT

One of the best software products for writing fiction is Scrivener, which I own.  However, I also have a Surface tablet and Scrivener has not been ported to it (nor will it likely ever be - they haven't even done an iOS version).  This means lugging a laptop if I want to write and I was hoping to make travel tablet-only.

My use of Scrivener is really light and I'm wondering if there is a way to replicate the core functionality in Word.

What Scrivener does is:

  • On the left plane there is a list of texts - think of them as passages.
  • On the right is the editor window, which is just a text editor.
  • Select which you want on the left and edit on the right.

The key is that you can move the passages around in the left pane which is massively useful - and you don't have to do a copy/paste as you would in Word if you wanted to move a scene from Chapter 4 into Chapter 2.  It also allows you to see all your scenes in one glance instead of scrolling through 100 pages.

Another key feature is the ability to say "now assemble all those scenes that I've ordered the way I want into an RTF".

I don't mind getting down and dirty into macros if I need to - just wondering if there is this word of "outline overview" view or if it can be simulated/recreated in Word somehow.

Now what if i want to display a different text string, say "Pick the date" in place of "click here to enter a date"?

Like this:

How this can be done?

Word "Revision marking" not working.

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 02:44 AM PDT

I previously created a Word file with revision marks displayed under Office 2007.  When I opened it under Office 2013, the revision marks (i.e., deletion, addition markings).  I can only see vertical lines in red in the left-side margin where text lines are modified.

I could not find any function keys I could click to reactivate this feature.

Will you tell me how to do it?

Thanks

copy and paste

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 08:45 PM PDT

I have been using Microsoft word 2013 for a few months. I was always able to copy and paste multiple lines/sentences with no problem. Recently everytime I copy a section, and paste it, it only pastes the first line... how do I fix this? I haven't changed any settings. I tried looking in the paste options and cant find any reason why this is happening.

Excel and Word print files -Office 2013

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 07:25 PM PDT

I have an HP 5P printer that WAS connected to my computer until about an hour ago.  I apparently had an unprinted job so I disconnected the printer from the computer port and rebooted it, attempting to delete the reference to the unprinted document.  When I rebooted the computer, the reference is still there, even though the printer is completely disconnected from the computer port.

The print reference, in both Word and Excel is:

HP LaserJet 5P

Offline 1 document waiting

Where USB001

Comment:

So, I disconnected the printer from the port again, deleted the printer from the registry and rebooted.  Now, when I open either Excel or Word,  I still get reference shown above for USB001 PLUS the following:

HP LaserJet 5P (copy 1)

Status: Offline

Where USB004

Comment:

How do I get rid of these references in Word and Excel.  I don't want to print these documents.  I don't even know what they are and I don't even care what they are!

I don't have this problem with other programs, for example Turbo Tax.  I have been using my HP 5P to print my tax returns for 20 years, but I just opened Turbotax and the HP 5P is no longer listed as a printer, I assume, because I just deleted it from the registry.

Again, I don't want Copy 1.  I want HP LaserJet 5P on USB001, with no documents waiting  By the way, when I open Printers in Windows, HP 5P is not listed anywhere.  Also, there are no printer dialog boxes available in either Word or Excel for this "waiting" print job so I can delete it like I normally would.

How do fix this?  I would appreciate if, with any explanation, you could include an explanation of why this happened.

Forced Page Breaks

Posted: 26 Sep 2014 04:07 PM PDT

Hello, 

I'm working with a Word 2010 document that forces an entire page break once I hit "enter" after first line of each page, starting with page 2 ( does not happen on the first page) 

I've tried checking paragraph settings in "Line and Page Breaks" (both checking and un-checking boxes for Keep with Next, Keep Lines Together, etc) , Page Set Up Vertical Alignment to "top"

For example, I have 600-word letter that goes to the second or third page, it will print 1 line on each page (starting on page 2), making the document roughly 60 pages total. 



Would appreciate any other suggestions :-)!
