Microsoft Word - Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Microsoft Word - Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 02:11 PM PDT

I have a single table, about 11 rows, extending over about 12 pages. I've designated a header row, which appears as expected on the first 9 pages (first 8 table rows), but then does not appear on the remaining pages (remaining 3 rows).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Workgroup Template Folders? Help, Please

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 01:52 PM PDT

I'm trying to create a workgroup template folder that can be accessed by my co-workers.  Our network uses the s:drive as the shared drive.

I'm using Word 2013.  If I go to File -- Options -- Advanced, I can see "File Locations" under general, but this is greyed out.  Do I need to get in their to set the Workgroup Template location?  If so, how do I do that?

Can I set the Workplace Template location to a folder I create on the S:Drive? 

Assuming I can set the workplace template location on my computer to a folder on the s: drive, do I need to get each person on my network to make the same change?

If we all get our Word/Excel set to the right workplace template folder, will that folder appear when someone clicks "new" in either Word or Excel?

Thank you.

How do I save a picture from a Word document into a jpg file or any type of picture file?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 11:16 AM PDT

I've saved some webpages into Word documents (I highlight the page & then copy and paste it into the Word document (this also includes any images, I don't do the images separately)). I hope you understand what I'm describing. I'd like to know how to save a image that's in a Word document as an actual picture file (e.g., a jpg file)? I hope you understand what I'm trying to do. Please tell me there's a way to do this. Thanks.

Comments about formatting changes are annoying and not useful

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 10:55 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

This is not a very good result. Comments about formatting are annoying and not of interest to most users. They distract from changes in content and clutter up the comment balloons. It would be much better if the default mode were the opposite -- thay you have to affirmatively turn on formatting comments to view them.

Embedding Video In Word Documents

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 09:55 AM PDT

Hello.

I hope this message finds you well.  Thank you in advance for reading my post.

I have a question regarding the process of embedding Windows Media Player Video in a Word document (using the Developer Tab).  I have managed to get everything working, but there are two small problems I am encountering.

The first is that the video plays as soon as the document is opened, which is annoying - I have learned how to switch between the different UI modes and have used Google to learn about the properties of the Windows Media Player Object, but I can't seem to be able to leave it up to the document reader to hit the "Play" button for the video to play.

My second hiccup is that I have a document that has two Windows Media Player Objects within it - as soon as I open the document, they both start playing simultaneously.  If I solve my first problem, perhaps this one will solve itself.

Can anyone offer me any advice? 

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Sir Duncan Dunstead

How to restore Autotext/Building blocks in Word 2013?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 04:48 AM PDT

I rely on autotext/building blocks a lot - it's an absolute essential every day. Today I seem to have lost the whole lot of my autotext entries (there were thousands). I went into the folder where the templates are kept and found a Normal.dotm file which was edited today, but it appears to be empty. So...

1. Is there any way to get my most recent Autotext/building blocks template back? 

2. How did I delete it, or how did it "empty" itself?

3. I generally use a bunch of different Word templates, and need the Autotext entries to work in all of them, which was happening before. What do I need to do to get it working like that again?

(I'm using Word 2013)

Any help desperately needed and much appreciated!

Word not responding every few minutes

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:52 AM PDT

I am running Office ProPlus 2013 on Windows 8 and have a problem with Word freezing frequently for no obvious reason. I've been through AskTech on the support site but the basic troubleshooting (disabling add-ins) had no effect. It still happens with Word running in safe mode, too.

I'm an editor, work on documents of a few hundred pages, and use track changes. The problem instantly gets worse if I open the reviewing pane, or have changes showing, but even if I avoid doing that the program still freezes a lot. Sometimes it works for the first hour, and then starts freezing every few minutes, even when I'm just typing and not trying to insert a comment or do anything else very radical. And other times it happens almost as soon as I start working. It never completely crashes, but obviously this is slowing me down unacceptably.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office, and it's still happening. I can't work like this. If I can't fix it in the next week or so I'm going to go back to Word 2010, which was always fine.

Any help, pleeeaase?!

Word: how to keep specific rows in a table on the same page?

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:42 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a program that uses Excel input to automatically fill a Word template to generate reports. In the report there is a table that spans numerous pages. This table has three columns, but every second row is created by splitting it off from the middle cell of the first row. As long as there is data, another row with three columns is added to the table, followed by a row which is split off from the middle cell of the newly added row.

So my question is: is there a way to keep every first and second row together on a page as a unit?

Details: Word 2010 on Windows 7. All rows in the table are not allowed to break across pages. The input for the cells in the table consists of unspecified paragraphs of text. I have tried using the paragraph.KeepWithNext property, but the problem is that by splitting off the second row from the middle cell of the previous row, two hidden paragraphs are created, one to the left of the split off row and one to the right. Chaining .KeepWithNext over the hidden paragraph does not seem to work. Unfortunately, I really need this particular layout of the table.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Caption help

Posted: 30 Sep 2014 03:35 AM PDT

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest a way to make the caption label not justified, whereas the rest of the caption text justified?

I have noticed in my table of figures that extra spaces appear between the 'Figure' and '2-1' so that the heading are not aligned and it looks very unprofessional. I use a consistent style for the captions, and all my text is justified (normally this would explain why the words in the table of figures appear stretched, but why it happens to only some of my captions i am at a loss). 

So far I have gone through and used CTRL+Shift+Space between the word 'Figure' and the number '2-1' on every caption in the document to solve this problem. Maybe this answers my own question but does it depend on how you insert the caption, as to what format it takes? I.e. if you click the image and press insert caption, or if you press return after the image and then insert caption...

On that basis would it assume the caption format or the document format and could explain the issue?

Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated

"Include level number from" not working

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 03:55 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

Charles, Stefan et al,

I have implemented the Shauna Kelly (RIP!) headings numbering solution that Charles linked here, a few times thru the years. However, it doesn't seem to work for me right now, using Word 2007. When I go to set up my Heading 3 format (by clicking the 'Include level number from...' --> field, choosing

'Level 2'), it only brings in '1' (which is the format for Heading 1, not Heading 2!). Is this somehow a bug? 

Thx!

Creating a Quote view changed ModifiedOn property?

Posted: 09 May 2005 11:34 AM PDT

The best way to check whether you are seeing exactly what you expect, is to
do a select query directly against the sql database. In this instance I
would probably be looking at doing something along the lines of a select to
find all queries owned by a particular user, created within a particular
timeframe, and including the modified on field in the output.

While this technique is not an official one, it does not really fall into
the unsupported, as it does not change the data in any way. However it does
remove any possibility of changes by the opening the view, as you viewing the
raw data.

If this does prove that the modified date is always the current date, then
you do need to work out what is updating the quotes, and workflow, as
suggested by Matt, is a likely contender.

Urgent: Accessing CRM DB

Posted: 09 May 2005 09:58 AM PDT

One thing to consider is how heavily used the custom application will be. If
it is heavily used, it may slow down your CRM database. Another technique
that may work for you is to back up your database daily (or more frequently),
restore this into another database and to run you application agains this.
Obviously, while this mitigates the speed problem it does mean that you users
are only seeing the data that is up to the last backup.

Whichever of these approaches that you take, I would advise that you
consider it a temporary solution until you can move to an application that
works in the supported way of using the Application layer and Web Services.

There aren't a lot of options. Many spam filters allow for configuration which

Display Date AND Time creation for Cases and Activities in Queue

Posted: 06 May 2005 07:55 AM PDT

Eric,

While you can modify many views using the savedquerybase id, but I
don't believe the service queue views are among them.

That's just one of the issues with queues that our product, VAST,
solves. There is also, within CRM 1.2, no way to track the changes in
queue assignment. So your reps can play ping-pong with cases amongst
your queues, without any management knowledge, except when irate
customers call because they aren't getting their cases solved in a
timely fashion.

VAST tracks all changes in case assignment, across queues, and displays
the date AND time that all case modifications occur. VAST will also
give you an audit trail for all of your other CRM objects too, showing
your users "Who Did What When" in Microsoft CRM. Please see our
website for details.

Dave

User's Guide

Posted: 06 May 2005 04:27 AM PDT

René

Sorry René, I did not not mean that I was surprised. It seems to make sense
to me that the user guide would only need changing when the application
changes. In addition (in my opinion) there is so much customisation possible
that most customers would need a custom user guide anyway.

I guess that your satisfaction depends on what you are using it for, your
expectations of it, and your business needs. Personally, I am using it
heavily for customer service and it works very well for that, though too
many button clicks are required. I look forward to that improving in the
next release

Word 2010 no longer limits its search and replace to the selected column in my table

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 02:07 PM PDT

I don't know when this issue started as I have done this for years since I work with very large documents but suddenly, you cannot select a column in a table and do a search and replace on data only in that column - it attempts to replace it in the entire document.  It is not exclusive to my computer.  I have attempted the same thing on 3 different computers in my office with the same result - and the computers are stand-alone computers so it has nothing to do with the network.  One of the computers had a Windows Update bundle (including a service pack) for Microsoft Office 2010 applied today 9/29 - there were 29 updates in that set.  My computer did not have those updates, it had a handful of them from 9/10/14.  I did a system restore back to 9/9/14 but the problem remains. I do still have 26 Office Updates that were applied on 8/18/14. I sure hope the problem did not start then as I have worked on many files with tables and not knowing how many replacements there would be in a document, I would have had no idea there was an issue.  I only found out today because I was working on a small document and knew there should be exactly 150 replacements, however, Word indicated 320 which included the text found in the NON-selected columns.

Anyone know what is happening here?

Thanks.

In Microsoft Word 2013, there are folders I would like to pin at the top of the Recent Folders list in Backstage.  I know how to pin folders from the Recent Folders list, but I cannot get these specific folders to appear on that list so I may pin them.

I rarely save files in these folders; instead, they are more like "master" folders containing multiple subfolders in which I do save files.  Having those pinned to the top of my Recent Folders would speed up my file operations considerably.  (I'm a teacher with thousands of documents organized by course, unit, chapter, and activity.)

How can I get these "master" folders to appear on the Recent Folders list so that I can pin them to the top of that list?  Alternatively, is there a way I can manually add these "master" folders to the Recent Folders list or even the pinned folders list?

I tried creating a file and saving it in the "master" folder, thinking that would force the "master" folder to show up on the Recent Folders list.  It did not.  I tried creating a second file and saving it in the "master" folder, thinking that the Recent Folders list generates based on the frequency with which I access a folder.  That did not put the "master" folder on the Recent Folders list.  I tried opening both documents from within Word, editing them, then saving them again, thinking that multiple file operations within Word might help force the "master" folder onto the Recent Folders list.  No success.

Again, I know how to do this in the standard file operation dialog box with Favorites, and how to configure options to bypass Backstage, but there are some advantages to Backstage I would like to preserve, if possible.  I have similar issues with Excel and PowerPoint, but I'm guessing the solution in Word will apply to those as well.  If not, I'll tackle them later.

Thank you for any ideas that might help me with this issue.

Loosing installation section from Office for Students 2003

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT

When I purchased my current computer it came with an initially free version of Office (2007?).  As I already had Office for students 2003 I loaded this to use.  If the 2003 version had been logged into everything was fine.  However if I tried to pick up a word document from an email before logging into 2003 version the 2007 version seemed to take precedence and I was forever having to stop the installation process that ensued.  A few days ago I finally decided to rid myself of this problem and uninstalled the 2003 version.  Now whenever I try to open a file I get the message that the 2003 version needs installing and to insert the original disks.  I have lost these!! 

I may having been remiss in loosing the original disks but it does seem that removing the trial version has disabled the 2003 version which still shows as present on my computer.  Can anything be done?

MS Word - Cannot delete a comment or update a marked up area

Hello -

I have two small pieces of my Word document that I cannot delete the comments or change the markups.  I did at one point use the Developer tools to Group these areas.  I did ungroup them, think this would solve the problem, but it has not.

Word 2013: issue with table row of exact height

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 10:09 AM PDT

Hi!

In Word 2013 (with all additional updates installed) I notice an issue with row height in tables.

I'd like to create tables with rows of exact height. (I need such tables for example when creating labels or forms.)

I set row properties as shown on the following picture:


But after printing such a table I see that rows are not exactly 5 cm high (measured from one border line to the next). Actually the height is increased for the size of cell inner margin.

The following picture shows three tables with only one cell of 5 cm x 5 cm in size each having different cell margins. In order to compare the tables horizontally I set tree columns on that page and inserted a column break before the second and the third table.


While taking the screenshot I pressed mouse button with the pointer on the bottom border of the second table so that the horizontal grey line appeared on the screen - it marks the height of 5 cm. You can see that the second and third tables are higher than 5 cm.

If it is a bug then it is an very old one as I also saw that issue in Word 2003 I used before moving to Word 2013.

If this behavior is by design then how am I supposed to get exact row height regardless of cell margins? Is it possible to achieve that in Word 2013?

Moreover, if I save this document as a DOCX file and open it with LibreOffice Writer 4.* I see that all three tables have the same size of exactly 5 cm, which is what I'd like to get in Word 2013, as shown on the following picture:


This shows that this behavior causes compatibility issue when documents created in Word are opened with LibreOffice Writer because rows may get lower in Writer than in Word and in turn this may cause the cell content to wrap or not be displayed completely.

Make all occurrences of a phrase italic

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 08:35 AM PDT

I'm typing a long report, and have just discovered certain words need to be in italics. Is there a way in Microsoft Word to find all those phrases and switch them to italics? Do I have to use a macro or something like that?

In a Protected MS Word Form, how can I have automatically updating linked data based on user entry data in a field?

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 08:32 AM PDT

I have "Job Title" appear throughout the document. It'd be a shame to have to enter it multiple times.

I've tried bookmarking the first usage and then cross referencing but the cross references only update when printing or in print preview. This should be updated before saving as well.

Would using document properties be possible under the protected status of the form as a field? Would there be a way to do this?

Are there alternative ways to have linked text that updates ideally automatically, but I can settle for updating throughout the text on save & on print.

Is anyone aware of any glitches with Word 2010 mail merge?

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 06:28 AM PDT

1. I recently got into trouble at work when I discovered the button for Mail Merge to email. As I was experimenting with a customer list from an Access database, it sent out the emails without warning. When I tried sending out an apology for the first email, I tried to replicate exactly what I had done the first time, but this time there WAS a dialog box with a warning that they were about to be sent. The dialog box appears every time since.

2. We use mail merge to send out appointment reminder postcards. The last time required two different versions to two different types of customers. The first group of cards were saved as a document for printing later. For the second group, I filtered out the names from the first group, & merged to the printer.  However, ALL names were merged, including those I had filtered out.

I have used mail merge many times, with no problems whatsoever, and find it odd that these two incidents happened within two weeks of each other. Has anyone else noticed glitches like this?

Place of picture differs in the print review

Hi folks,

I wanted to create my own cover page at MS Word, but I am not succeeding. The main issues is that, when I place a picture on the top of the page, it stays here, but when I take a look at a print review it is moved a little bit down.. How I need to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Trying to print (as PDF) two A4 pages onto one A3 sheet

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 03:24 AM PDT

Hi...I am using Word 2013. I am trying to print two A4 pages onto one A3 sheet.  I need to print to PDF not a hard copy output to then send to a commercial print company.  In Word 2003, all I had to do was go to Print, select the option 'two pages to a sheet' and change the page size to A3.  I then selected CutePDF or NitroPDF from the printer options.  The result was a single A3 landscape page PDF with my two portrait pages side by side.

I cannot achieve this with Word 2013.  When I use the equivalent print settings, I get a single paragraph on the first page (landscape) and then the remainder of that original page content on a second page (portrait) and my original second page now as third page.  I do have section breaks and text boxes in the document – but that was never an issue in Word 2003.

I have trawled the web, chatted with an Answer Tech person and spoken to MS tech support in the UK – but with no success.  Can anyone help?

TOC in a table

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 02:03 AM PDT

Good morning!

I really hope that someone here can help me!

I'm setting up a template (so the content change every document) where at the end I need a table that report all the titles/headings of the document, right as a TOC do. Every row need to report a title/heading in a table of two columns.

Can anybody figure out how I can have that? I need that table to be update every time the titles/headings change.
At the moment I put a formatted TOC into a single cell but in this case I can't align the rows of the second column to the first.

How do I make a print macro

Posted: 29 Sep 2014 01:50 AM PDT

Hi,

I used to have a printing macro so that when I clicked on it, it would print the first page from tray 1 with my letter head and then the rest of the pages on tray 2 with plain paper.

How would I make one again?

Thanks,

Scott
