| macro to add fill to a shape Posted: 01 Oct 2014 01:46 PM PDT Hi all, Just got Office 2013 a week ago and besides the weird typing issue - which I've corrected, the ribbon shouting at me - which I've corrected and the enormous lack of color issue (daily headaches and extreme eyestrain) which I'd love to have corrected, I do like it, however, when IT swapped out 2010 for 2013 some of my macros disappeared. So I am now trying to re-create my most often used macros and have had some success so far, however, I can not seem to re-create my macro to change the fill color of a shape. Our company uses specific colors for our new branding, so when a report is prepared using a chart, the company wants the colors to coincide with our branding colors. But as you all know, if you aren't using the proper theme, you get the default colors. So, it is my job as the editor to change those colors to our company's colors. I created a macro in Word 2010 that did this beautifully, but I can't seem to get it to work in 2013. And, I can't remember what I wrote to code it. Can anyone help? If someone can get me started, I can change the RGB to the proper colors. Thanks all. |
| Single Curly Quotations - Opening vs Closing in Find/Replace Function Posted: 01 Oct 2014 01:41 PM PDT I have a question regarding using the Replace function in Microsoft Word 2013 to find and replace an opening single quotation mark with a closing single quotation mark. I am editing a manuscript where the author uses 'em frequently in dialogue. The author uses the opening single quotation before it, instead of the closing single quotation. I tried to use the Find and Replace function to correct this, but the Replace function does not seem to recognize the closing single quotation mark. I can Find it, but I cannot Replace an opening quotation with a closing quotation. After searching on Google, I tried using the codes ^045 and ^046, with no luck. I have copied and pasted text from the manuscript into the Find and Replace fields, no luck. I have tried turning off the AutoCorrect function of straight quotes to curly quotes, no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

| Word 2010 - Picture Content Control - Corrupts document Posted: 01 Oct 2014 12:48 PM PDT Hello, We have an user that uses Developer options, the picture content control. The person told us that the images would go up at top-left of the document after closing/saving and reopening the document. We found out that if you change the position of the content control and insert an image inside the control (aligned, behind the text, etc.), the issue appears and Word 2010 warns about a corrupted document. Is there any KB, or something that would fix this ? Word opens the document "repaired" and if the person re-arrange the pictures into the text and save, the document is ok after that. |
| Word 2010 Checkbox Macro Posted: 01 Oct 2014 12:44 PM PDT Good afternoon, I am working on a form for my workplace and I am in need of a macro (if it's possible) that will copy the fillable form onto a page two upon clicking a checkbox. The purpose of this is once the user has reached the limit of the textbox on page one, they would click said checkbox and be able to continue typing on page 2. I have searched throughout all the internets but have had no luck. Anyone have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. |
| Issue launching Microsoft 2013 Word from Windows 8 on Acer smartpad Posted: 01 Oct 2014 12:31 PM PDT After recently running full scans and updates on my ACER smartpad, I somehow have lost access to the ability to launch word documents.

| Advanced header and footers - can you auto-populate content into headers and footers from somewhere else in a document? Posted: 01 Oct 2014 12:02 PM PDT I have a Word 2013 template I'm creating, with a content control box on the first page. The content they enter here, I would like to show up in the headers, without having to edit the headers. Is there a way to do with this with a combination of Quick Parts fields, content controls or such? I've been able to figure out how to populate info with Fields from Quick Parts, but this seems to be a set list of options - I couldn't find a way to add a custom item there. I figured that would be the way to do it. |
| Word 2010 not displaying font properly Posted: 01 Oct 2014 11:44 AM PDT Hi, Long story short: I deleted a font on my Windows 7 64-bit system this morning. That font (it's TrueType) had been working fine ever since I installed it right after installing Office 2010 months ago. I then opened a document in Word that used that font, and saw that Word 2010 had (correctly) substituted a Times-ish font for it, and the font (correctly) did not show up in my font pull-down list. Okay. Good. I closed Word and then reinstalled the font. I opened Word and the font is still being substituted. However, it is in the pull-down. I should be more precise: this font has several styles (Book, Bold, Ultra Bold, Light, Medium, Ultra Light, and italic versions of each). The only one that works is Book. The others all substitute. I should note that the reinstalled font works fine everywhere else - in IE, in Excel, in other applications. The only place it doesn't work correctly is in Word. I have tried lots of different things to fix this: * Rebooted. * Uninstalled the font and reinstalled the font * Cleaned out the Windows font cache * Restarted the Windows font cache service * Blew away the Word registry entries in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office * Deleted the normal template * Run a repair install * Changed printer drivers * Multiple combinations of all of those, and all of those included reboots at each step I'm at my wits' end. Help!!!! Thanks, Peter |

| MS Word 2013 paragraph Marker stuck Posted: 01 Oct 2014 08:14 AM PDT So i think this is a glitch with Word 2013, but shy of uninstalling and reinstalling office 2013 i'm not sure what to do. The paragraph marker in word 2013 (located in home, paragraph, and the little backwards P ribbon) can be clicked and unclicked, however the maker in the text is always present. If i open a word document in safe mode it is not present. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a way to restore word back to factory default without a complete uninstall? Things i have tried: I tried the repair feature located in control panel: programs and features I also tried resetting customized ribbon settings in the word options Any help would be greatly appreciated -Joe |

| Macros warning in Word 2010 Posted: 01 Oct 2014 07:24 AM PDT The "Normal" template keeps giving me macro warnings even though I see no macros attached to it.

What can I do? thanks Peter |
| Font resets to default when I edit text fragment Posted: 01 Oct 2014 06:46 AM PDT I need to edit a document. When I try to edit text, it always types in Calibri even though that fragment is typed in a different font so I have to manually change the font every time. This font is installed on my system. This error only occurs when I edit text fragments that were present in this document before, not the newly created fragments. The document I try to edit is created in Word 2010 but later upconverted to Word 2013 format. My only guess why it happens is that the font used in the document before and the font I have installed now are actually different (even though they have the same name and look). When that font was not installed, same exactly thing happened. But it keeps happening even after I have installed the font. |
| How to eliminate blank areas in text caused by picture that moved to the next page (since it is big) Posted: 01 Oct 2014 06:28 AM PDT Hello, dear everyone! IN SHORT: I am writing a text in word 2007: "bla-bla-bla, and that is shown on picture 1., (here I inseart a picture), bla-bla-bla". The picture is big, and does not fit in the remaining part of the page, so it moves to the next page. As a result, I have half of the previous page blank. Could you please say, how to ask word to fulfil that blank area with the text that follows after the picture and insert the picture after the reference "shown on picture 1" as soon as it possible? MORE DETAILS: Anchoring the picture to page is not a good idea, because, lets assume I delete a few paragraphs few pages before. As a result, the sentence "that is shown on picture 1" is in the beginning of a page, and the picture can be easily put on the same page. But If the picture was anchored to page, it would stay far away from the reference. Here is what I want, please, see both pictures.  
Thank you very much for your advices!! Ivan |

| A new look at using Word to convert websites Into eBooks. Posted: 01 Oct 2014 12:00 AM PDT Hello, this post concerns the relatively new concept of copying entire website pages, then pasting them into blank Word documents as HTML format. The process is almost perfect, but flawed by extraneous elements which reside in and among images and text. Images exist within gray boxes (of different sizes) which appear to be tables of some kind, and other unfamiliar widgets are scattered throughout the otherwise precisely duplicated pages. The purpose of this exercise is to examine and evaluate the feasibility of converting web pages, including all text, formatting, and images, into either .doc or .docx files, in order to edit and produce a finished product suitable for publication on Amazon as a Kindle eBook. If successful, additional applications are possible. As both an artist and author, my intention is to develop, refine, and expedite a prototype edition that, for all intents and purposes, represents my own website in a published form and format. Including all images, writings and other artifacts as they currently exist on the site itself. My level of expertise, however, is just short of knowing how to accomplish what I envision as a potentially groundbreaking revolution in the eBook industry. If successful, an entirely new world of eBooks could become available and ultimately require their own department. But imagine how interesting it might be to reverse engineer the internet itself, where the cloud returns to earth. Instead of the frantic, frenetic perusals of websites as presently conferred, the more interesting sites, full of art, history, education, even merchandise, might be reviewed at leisure with a minimum of distractions. Starting with my own site as the guinea pig, so to speak, a positive result could prove immensely beneficial to untold numbers of folks who aspire to author eBooks, but possess websites only. The reverse is certainly true when it comes to developing websites based on a company's or author's or artist's works. Thus the opposite should prove equally ambitious and fascinating. There are hurtles presently, however, and obstacles that must be dealt with and resolved. I believe that in today's world, and given the broad capacities and abilities of the Word program itself, such a project need only have the kinks and wrinkles smoothed. To that end, I hope one or more persons will join me on my quest; it portends to be quite an adventure with limits unknown, seemingly without end. Although the technology itself remains to be proven, whether or not Word can produce a clean, professional doppelgänger twin of websites in all their myriad forms, the potential rewards and advancements in the literary field are virtually incalculable. Anyone want to guess how many websites there are worldwide? If only one percent were interested in converting their sites to eBooks, essentially doubling their exposure, the number is staggering. The real fun of this project will eventuate when the process itself is refined, simplified, and made available to a community numbering in the millions. I also have the feeling that this entire concept is barely scraping the surface of a much larger and deeper program of social interaction and networking. But I get ahead of myself. Please let me know if I have any foolish entrepreneurs (or curiosity seekers) who wish to accompany me on in this adventure. And, of course, fill in the huge gaps where I have no idea of what I'm doing or working with. That's exactly where you come in. Thanks for listening. |
| Word 2013- Print preview- White Space at bottom of page Posted: 30 Sep 2014 10:32 PM PDT Hello Microsoft Community, I am having a problem removing the white space at the end of a document. This white space only shows up when I go to print. I have tried to play around with margins and everything else I could try to look up on the subject. There are no footnotes or anything. Like I said it only shows up when I go to print. The top, left, right all have just a small gap of white between the doc and the edge of paper but the bottom seems to have about a inch of white space. Any help in removing this or just making it about the same size as the rest of the edges would be appreciated .

| Performing a "subtractive" merge on documents Posted: 30 Sep 2014 10:10 PM PDT I have a master document that will be sent to 6 team members. They will edit the documents by subtracting the portions of it they believe to be inaccurate or inappropriate for the final document. Is there a method to merge the 6 documents in a way that ONLY the portion in common are included in the merged document? This would give a starting point for discussion with the team as the generated document would be a "consensus statement." |

| Microsoft Mathematics Add-In 2013 for Word and OneNote won't work in Word 2013 Posted: 30 Sep 2014 06:10 PM PDT I just downloaded Microsoft Mathematics Add-In 2013 for Word and OneNote. In OneNote, the "Mathematics" tab is displaying and I can use all the features. However, the "mathematics" tab is NOT displaying in Office 2013. I can right-click on the other tabs and open a "customize the ribbon." It opens up a window where there are different options on the left side, and in the main part there is a place to choose commands or tabs to customize the ribbon, There are many tabs I can click to add or remove, however the Mathematics tab is not one of them. To the left, I can click on "Add-Ins" and I see that the Microsoft Mathematics Add-In is under "Inactive Application Add-Ins." I have tried to add it manually but when I go to the folder, none of the files work to add the Mathematics Add-In. What do I need to do to make this work in Word? It is working FINE in One-Note and it's just driving me crazy. |

| Format Painter affects unselected items! Posted: 30 Sep 2014 04:25 PM PDT I'm using Word 2007. I've defined several styles that use bullets. I'll describe the problem as it applies to the style that has a normal round bullet, a left indent of 0.0", and a hanging indent of 0.25". When I use Format Painter to pick up the bullet style and apply it to a paragraph that has no bullets, the bullet and indent appear as desired. The problem is that at the same time the desired change happens on the unbulleted paragraph, all the other bullets of the same style in the document suddenly acquire an indent of 0.6"! The hanging indent is unaffected. The behavior is the same whether the initial style copy is done with the cursor just in the bulleted paragraph or with the entire paragraph selected and whether or not application of the fomat painter is just a click in the target paragraph or selection of the entire paragraph. On checking the style, I find that it has been changed to show a 0.6" indent. No new style is created. Clicking the Undo button does not put the indent back to 0.0" I can go back into the style and change the indent to 0.0" and all undesired indents are returned to that measurement. Any ideas for what may cause this problem will be appreciated. I know I can avoid it by always applying the style using the Styles window, but I do like using the Format Painter. |
