| Mail merge placing recipients address into the senders area on envelope Posted: 12 Oct 2014 01:40 PM PDT I've just tried to set up mail merge on MS Word (2013 Office 365). Running Windows 7. I set up a small list of 3 people. Went into envelope and set up the way I wanted it and saved it. I use my own envelopes with senders address on them so I checked the box to omit. When I try to print the envelopes, the addressee info shows up under the senders section (upper left). Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help! |

| microsoft office professional plus 2013 Posted: 12 Oct 2014 10:30 AM PDT I do not have a lot of computer tech knowledge. We have a home office. Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 was installed through a company that we contacted online when we were having computer issues. I think we thought we were connecting with Microsoft at the time. They trouble shooted various issues and recommended this program to replace our home office program. Recently when we go in to Word we have this message show up: " You have 25 days left to activate. Ensure you are connected to your corporate network to enable automatic activation. Your system administrator can help." There was an error code 0x4004F00D ( I hope I copied that correctly) I do not understand what this means. When I called the number given for technical help the responder said " who put this on your computer?" and I told them that they did. Then he connected me with someone else who apparently was the one who recommended it. He wanted to add on some kind of security protection or the computer might stop working. I am not sure if I should trust that company now. |
| Problem opening .docx in Office 2013 Posted: 12 Oct 2014 10:03 AM PDT Whenever I attempt to open a Word file with the .docx extension I get the following alert, yet the file still opens. This does not happen with .doc or .odt files. "The was a problem sending the command to the program." I have attempted both the local and on-line repair options to no avail. I have even reinstalled Office 2013 but the problem persists. I attempted one of the fixes from the link below but there wasn't a Compatibility tab under the properties for winword.exe. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-2013-there-was-a-problem-sending-the-command/353d686c-43d6-478d-a2d8-0ce016641a12 Like I said, I get the error even though the file does open. It's more irritating than anything else but it only happens for Word and not Excel, Powerpoint, etc. How do I fix this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| Style separator is hiding outline numbering without header text - shows in word, but hides when printed Posted: 12 Oct 2014 08:43 AM PDT I'm formatting a document that requires each paragraph to be formatted with a section number. However, not all paragraphs have a heading, other than the section number itself. Headers provide auto-section numbering in outline format. When I insert a style separator between the heading and the section text, the heading number appears in word, but it does not appear when the document is printed. Apparently, the outline number associated with the heading is inheriting the hidden format of the style separator unless there is additional text before the separator (other than the numbering). I've tried a variety of font options and checked all of the setting options I can find but haven't been able to identify any way to get the heading numbers to print. Very important that I find a way to fix this...please help! I need a way to auto-number this document with outline numbering that will not require section header text to permit numbering and section text to appear on the same line. Word "print layout" view:

| Creating fill in form with plain text and autosum table Posted: 12 Oct 2014 08:39 AM PDT Using Word 2010 in Windows 7. I am trying to create a form that users can fill in blocks of text, and it includes a budget table. I have figured out the developer tools and protected content, and have it set to "fill in forms". The problem is that I can't get the budget table to auto-sum, and once in protected mode the users can't right click to "update formula". We tried to embed an excel file, but it's not editable once protected in the "fill in forms", and I can't select the form boxes and the excel file to set a partial exception. Is it just impossible to create a form with both fill in forms and a fill in budget table that auto updates it totals? |
| Office not responding Posted: 12 Oct 2014 04:36 AM PDT I have a brand new Lenovo laptop, recently downloaded office 365 on windows 8.1.

| Why does the insert tab keep crashing when I try to use it in Word in Office 2013? Posted: 11 Oct 2014 08:03 PM PDT I have tried again and again to use the Insert Tab, meaning the tab in the ribbon labeled Insert, and every time I do Microsoft Word crashes. I can use every other tab when I use Word. I have a Windows 7 computer and it is Office 365 Home. I downloaded it via a code I got for a college course. I get this when I click the highlighted tab: 
Then it tells me to just close the program. What can I do to fix this? |
| Word 2013 -- How do I copy a table? Posted: 11 Oct 2014 05:12 PM PDT In Word 2010 I can go to the top left corner, hover, and a small plus sign appears, letting me select and copy the whole table. I can't find anything like that in 2013? Did that feature disappear? I used it frequently! I know how to work around it, but it does take more time. |
| Wrapping to document window doesn't work the way I expected it to Posted: 11 Oct 2014 04:49 PM PDT - So what I am trying to do is view two documents side by side using the menus View > View Side by Side.
- I want to be able to view text from the left margin to the right margin in both documents at the same time so that I can compare them.
- I don't want to have to scroll across to view right or left margin of the text.
- I have gone to File> Option> Advanced> Show text within the document window.
- I am expecting to see the text in both documents wrapped within their half sized windows but this doesn't happen.
- I checked whether this applies with just a single document ( not using side by side view) and its the same story.
- I can manually fix it by dragging the right margin indicator to the left but was hoping there was an automatic process ie the text automatically wraps within the window regardless of the drag size of the window.

| Multilevel list Posted: 11 Oct 2014 03:59 PM PDT I have to create a list like this: 1. AMERICA Important: This is a public community. To protect your privacy, do not post any personal information such as your email address, phone number, product key, password, or credit card number. 2. EUROPE Important: This is a public community. To protect your privacy, do not post any personal information such as your email address, phone number, product key, password, or credit card number. So first level with a number and the second level nothing. I can do this with multilevel list, but problem is with the format of the text of the first level. If I apply a format font to the style, change only the format of the number and not the format of the text. How can do this? I hope to be clear. Sorry my English. |
