Not all Word 2013 Document Themes available

I am a computer teacher and some of my students have many document themes available in Word 2013 and others have very few.  What can I look at on the student's profile to make all document themes available to all of my students?

Saving from Word 2013 to Word 97-2003 corrupts table of contents

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 11:51 AM PDT

I'm seeing a very strange effect on some of my documents.  I don't know what is causing it, but to me it is clearly a defect.

You take a document that has a table of contents and multiple pages of content, saved in Word 2013.  Next, save it as "Word 97-2003" for compatibility purposes.  Then open up this freshly saved document and take a look at the table of contents.  The page numbers slide off to the right outside the margin!

Here's how the document looks in Office Word 2013:

Now when saving as Word 97-2003, you are warned about some conversions that may affect the layout:

OK, that's fine. It doesn't suggest that it won't be able to handle the TOC (table of contents) and change the formatting there.  But then you get this:

Notice the ".............................." goes clear off to the right past the right margin limits.  You cannot see the page numbers.  If you shift to LANDSCAPE mode you can find your page numbers.  There will be a right tab stop floating out there around inch #9.  Try manually correcting this and you get into a nightmare of playing around with tab stops.  You try to select all lines of the TOC, but after doing that and moving the tab stop, you get unpredictable results.  It's a mess.

If you delete the TOC and recreate it in this document, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS.  There is some strange conversion effect that permanently corrupts the document.  I even tried to save the original document without the TOC, but still adding one causes this.  The layout/formatting in this document is extremely basic and rudimentary. There is NOTHING sophisticated going on here that would incur a compatibility issue.

I've tried to search on this issue and cannot find prior complaints.  Is this a known issue?

Excel and Word very slow when double-clicking on file

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 10:21 AM PDT

Win 7 and Office 2007.

 

There are several posts regarding this topic. But I have not found any that gives me an applicable solution. This is my problem:

 

If Word/Excel is running it takes less than a second for a small file to open after double clicking it.

 

If Word/Excel is *not* running it takes from 30 seconds to several minutes for the file to open.

  • It does not matter if it is a doc docx xls xlsx et.c.
  • It does not matter if it is a local file, a file on the server or on the NAS.
  • It does not matter if it is a newly created file or a very old file.

Some interesting observations regarding Outlook:

  • Opening a Word/Excel attachment shows the same symptoms as above. Very fast if Word/Excel is running an very i slow if they are not. But my impression is that now it takes twice as long time.
  • Opening a .pdf attachment shows exactly the same symptoms as Word/Excel files from within Outlook. But here I do not have the double clicking problem. From Explorer .pdf files starts "immediately".

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

I have a problem with a header that spans over 2 lines.

My first header is formatted correctly like this:

Chapter 1: XYZ.....................5

 1.2 Abstract..........................7

However the second header is long and ends up looking like this:

Chapter 2: XYZ XYZ XYZ

XYZ 9

Even messing around with the tab stops didnt help..

I would like to have it look like this:

Is there a fix for this? Thank you very much!

Mail Merge losing superscript formatting

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:27 AM PDT

Hello!

I am trying to use mail merge to transfer numbers with superscript following them (i.e. 1st, where 'st' is in superscript). I am transferring the text from an Excel file to a Word document using Mail Merge, but I haven't had any luck retaining the formatting.

I also tried to figure out a way to make Word change the text to superscript automatically after the merge is complete, but I'm not sure how to do this either.

Any help would be appreciated!

Vertical Line - Tranck Changes not printing as viewed on Print Preview

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:17 AM PDT

I'm working with MS Word 2010.

It is a two column document, and I'm tracking changes on the individual columns by using a vertical line at the right side of the individual columns.

While working on the document, the vertical lines are shown at the right hand side of both columns, this also shows on Print Preview.

When I print, the document shows the consolidated vertical lines of my changes to both columns on the extreme right only (no longer on the right of the individual columns).

It is not printing as displayed.

I had this working before on my desktop, it is not working on my laptop.

What can I change on settings to correct this?

I have tried converting to PDF, but it displays as printed. I have tried downgrading to compatibility mode in MS Word, no difference.

Word experienced an error trying to open the file

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 07:21 AM PDT

One of our users who is using Windows 8 and Office 365 Home and Office received an error message when trying to print a Word document from an email (Outlook).  It said, "Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions.

Check the file permissions for the document or drive.

Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.

Open the file with the Text Recovery converter."

There is nothing wrong with the documents.  No settings have been changed on her computer. She had no trouble opening and printing documents from Outlook in the past.  When the documents are imported into our database, they will open in Word and print from there. If we save it and print from the location, it prints. Is this an Outlook issue?

Thanks for any help you can give us.

Different languages in word, with non-English physical keyboard

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 06:28 AM PDT

Hi.

I have a dilemma with Word in terms of language and proofing tools. The physical keyboard on my computer is with Danish layout but I often write texts in English in Word. I have installed both English and Danish proofing tools and both Danish and English keyboard layouts are installed in Windows. 

But I can't change the proofing language in Word to English, I can only mark text I've written and tell Word that this is English. The only way I can change the proofing language to English is to change the keyboard to English in Windows (via the language bar). But that comes with a prize, since my physical layout of my keyboard then doesn't match the input, i.e if press the button on my keyboard with question mark ( ? ) when I'm typing i Word I instead get underscore ( _ ). That is impossible/very frustrating for me to work with. 

Is it really not possible to tell Word that the text I am writing is in English, but still keep my Danish keyboard layout? I have set everything to English in word, but no matter what, it still uses Danish as the default language. When I press the language tab (from the lower task bar) when I'm working on my document and select English and press set as standard, I doesn't change anything. It immediately reverts to Danish.. 

I'm using Office 2013, Windows 7 and everything is installed in English.

Please advice.

Best regards, 
Kenneth

Word 2013 opening files in Read Only

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 05:30 AM PDT

Hi,

I have recently purchased a new computer, first time using Windows 8.1 and also first time using Office 2013.

I have a program that I create invoices with but when it tries to open the invoice template (which has fields which update according to data pushed through from the program) the template is opening in Read Only meaning that my data isn't getting loaded into it.  The Invoice Template is an RTF file type (I have no control over this) and I have previously used this program to run invoices using Word 2003 without an issue.

After looking here it seems there are a few people with this Read Only issue.  I have tried all the usual things like making sure Read Only box isn't ticked, checking all Trust Centre stuff out etc but nothing I do changes this.

Equation Editor - Insert custom size matrix

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 04:52 AM PDT

It does not appear to be possible in Word 365 to insert an equation with a Matrix that has a different size larger than 3x3. I.e. 

- create a new document

- Insert | Equation

- Equation Tools | Design | Matrix

I can only select from the predefined Matrix sizes. The context menu does not have an option to insert additional rows or columns.

I need to create a Matrix with 6 rows and 2 columns. I did manage to 'fake' it by first inserting a 2x2 matrix and then creating a 3x1 sub-matrix in each cell. This does seem silly.

Hi Karen,

I know next to nothing about Project Server, but I believe you would be best
served by creating a new table with the formatting and adding it to the

I found some information on restoring the Enterprise Gantt Chart at :

which may be helpful. You might also try posing the question on the project

First of all you can not directly link to the split in a split task. I

why not break the task you want to split into two pieces - it sounds
like that would be a more accurate way to break up the work anyway.

Leveling problem

Posted: 18 Oct 2005 06:24 PM PDT

Some key points here

->16 hours of data management is going to occur over this 4 week period, but I'm not sure when.

Put it at the end of the 4 week period. If you are not sure when, then you also do not care when.
And even more importantly, you do not know that data management must be completed before any other
task.
See the abstraction in the logical model here. You know that at some point somewhere along the 4 weeks
some data management will get done. Where exactly segments (divide it into as many imaginary bits as you want)
of that task are going to occur, you don't know, so just accept that you do not know this, and leave it at the
resources discretion when to do data management. But require them to record actuals when they do that work.
The reason here is obvious. Say you have a project due tomorrow but the final task is datamanagement and there
is 24 hours left on it. that's 3 days. Your resource says Oops, I did that along the way over the last 4 weeks,
sorry I didn't update it.

The reality is the first day right out of the gate your resource DOES DO some datamanagement.
There is nothing preventing him/her from recording actuals against this task. No matter how far in the future it is scheduled.
You can even train them to give you their best estimate of remaining data management say half way through the project,
or everyday which is best or better best is when one of the three tracking rules kicks in.

On task completeion
On task change
On end of shift

Then you can see that their latest estimate combined with their other work load will result in an unfavourable
delay in project completion. And you get up to date budget cost stuff. But please always try and differentiate the dynamic
piloting and traking in Project server from the reporting/auditing aspects of what you want from the product. It's almost like
you need to think differently about the two parts. Estimates vs actuals will always fall out of the act of planning vs tracking
and that is all you need.

Ok so what if you have continuous projects of indefinite duration and an unknown net quantity of work. A running project or a
manufacturing
type situation. Well again apply the concept of abstracting tasks into logical discrete units. Ever 4 weeks plan a task of 16 hours
datamanagement.
at the end of a four week cycle. As time moves on the PWA resource will see a persistant data task at the top of their sheet that is
overdue if they did
zero datamanagement. Tell them that it is their job to evaluate that task as being within the "time chunk" of applicability.
If it is no longer a slot that serves any practical purpose because we have moved on to the next chunk.
Drive the remaining work to zero and record data management on the next one that will appear somewhere down the task list.

Ok, convinced of the importance of understanding what an abstracted idea of a task can do for you, Now about this putting the task
at the end of a project
business. Well it works because you are going to allow task splitting.. Where does the actual work recorded against the data task
end up after you update the status,
there are various options for how to handle it. move it back to status date, etc. the dreaded calculation options.

The only hurdle you have is the PWA user has to have knowledge that these rouge ongoing tasks, part of what they do for a living are
their responsibility
to seek out and record against. It's a simple pattern, not difficult to figure out.
That kind of addresses your point . 1) PWA is going to tell resource X to spend 3 hours on this task on a specific day.
Edumacation, routine and disciple.
They have to be in there somewhere

Not to be too harsh with point 2) and 3), ..... but "yeah so".........

change the stop lights and or filter out the ongoing type tasks.

 

Yes indeed but not everyone sees it as profoundly as that. I think it is the most meaningful thing Project brings to the table.
Microsoft themselves might have missed the significance when they did not include an level of resource ownship at the reporting
level.
That is, I will report on behalf of other resources as their agent. One would think that limits they came up against were desktop to
enterprise convesion
ones and datamodel issues. But after reading the doents, scenerios there isn't even a hint that the concept was even thought of.
To bad, it is crucial.

Jan,

I understand that assigning 10% to a task like "data management" may be causing the problem. In reality (and we use Project with
Project Server and timesheets are completed on a daily basis ), I'm not interested in assigning 0.5 of an hour per day on data
management. In practice, I want to have a budget of 2.5 hours/week and in truth, I don't really care when it is done during that
week. Using the example, what I am trying to plan is that 16 hours of data management is going to occur over this 4 week period, but
I'm not sure when.

If I move away from my simplistic example and to the real world, we have a number of overhead tasks on projects - one being the
Project Manager himself, and another being QA, etc. I've always scheduled these as fixed duration tasks with a low assignment rate.
For example, I might have 120 hours of project Management on a twelve month project, 150 hours of QA. These are continuous, on-going
tasks which need to be correctly budgeted and scheduled.

But if I follow what you are saying, this is probably a really bad way of doing it - from a budget management and schedule
management perspective. What I really want to do is to say "Resource X can spend 3 hours this week on this task".

Any suggestions on how this is best implemented?

One thought is that I set up these types of activities as recurring tasks - i.e. a weekly task of say three hours. But this has
downsides. 1) PWA is going to tell resource X to spend 3 hours on this task on a specific day. 2) If he doesn't do it, my
stop-lights are going to go yellow/red everywhere, and 3) we use SPI as a Metric which may result in incorrect escallation of
delayed tasks.

I guess what I am saying is that historically, tools like MS Project were primarliy planning tools. Once the project went live, the
effort required to keep a schedule "live" was so huge, many did not do it. However, Project Server changed all that. Now we have a
tool that can be a fundemental part of the work process. If I have to fudge things, then I lose the ability to generate "exceptions"
that are meaningful. I think that counts as going off on a tangent...

Regards,
Simon


"Jan De Messemaeker" <jandemes at prom hyphen ade dot be> wrote in message news:phx.gbl...
Hi,

Let me answer the why.
Project assumes that you know what you ask for when you ask for 10% of the resource for the small task.
It will never change that.
And that you know what you want when you ask for 100% on an other task.
It will never change that.
For all Project knows that resource may be a machine that you cannot use at 90%.

So the two tasks cannot run in parallel because that yields an overallocation.

In anothe rpost you say I hesitate to assign 90% to the other task because than I am leveling by hand and not by Project.
You are absolutely right, and I am glad somebody made that remark, it is the reason for 99% of the compaints on leveling not working
properly.

Thre problem is "you started the war" when you defined the small task as being done buy somebody at 10%. That as such is already
leveling by hand, and your chances of having a properly leveled result have gone.

If you want the best results for lmeveling DON'T use percentages.
When people work they are supposed to word at 100% of their brain.

Introduce "many slmal interventions" as many small taks (maybe a recurring task) with 100% allocation, in othe rwords don't start
leveing by hand.
Leveling will work nicely.

Hope this helps,

I'm trying to performing leveling on a project, but it's clear to me that I don't understand how this works as it is not doing what
I want it to.

I'm going to use a simple example which hopefully will enable someone to tell me why does not do what I expect.

I have three basic tasks - a) My main task, b) my back up task, and c) my weekly meetings. I have one resource, ME. Tasks are
defined as

My main task "A" - ME assigned 100% (160 hours over a 4 week period); priority 500
My backup task "B" - ME assigned at 10% (16 hours over a 4 week period); priority 600
My weekly meetings "C" - a reoccurring task set weekly; ME assigned for 2 hours at 100%; priority 1000 (no leveling).

If I level, no matter what the settings, it pushes the 4 week main task to the end of the 4 week period. The daily resource load
looks like:

M T W T F M T W T F M T W T F M T W T F M T W T F
0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 2.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 2.5 8 8 8 8 8 ...

This is obviously not want I want. I want each day's total to be 8 hours. I want task C to be assigned first (2 hours on friday),
Task B to be assigned next (0.5 hours per day), and then task C to use the remainder of the day that is free. i.e.,

Day M T W T F M T W T F
A 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5 5.5 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5 5.5
B 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5
C 0 0 0 0 2.0 0 0 0 0 2.0

So I guess the question is, why is not doing this? Or, am I missing something dumb that will make it do this?

Thanks in advance

Multiple skill sets for a single resource.

Posted: 18 Oct 2005 03:38 PM PDT

David,

Thanks for the response.

That sort of asnwers my question, but not quite. My problem is that when I
create my task list, I have to assign a resource requirement. My resources
are my workers, who specialize in one skill, but are cross trained in other
skills. How can I set a single resource requirement for the task when
multiple resources have the potential to do the work?

An example: I have a resource that is an electrician by trade, and is also
cross trained as a mech. My process has a task that is to remove a panel
from the aircraft prior to maintenance. The task has a resource requirement
of a mech. If I set the resource requirement for the task as a mech, project
will never schedule the electrician, even though he is qualified, and has
time available. It seems to me that the only way that I would be able to use
the cross trained electrician with time available would be either to change
the resource requirement to electrician, or re-classify the electrician as a
mech in the resource window. Either of the options is not desireable,
because it is not a true representation of the requirement.

Thanks in advance,

James

Marketing Module is coming in Microsoft CRM v2.0 so this will solve your
problem of tracking which correspondece ID goes with which list of contacts.

For the time being, here is an option that could work and supports easy
upgrade:

1. Create a memo field for each contact and enter in corresponence ID(s) in
there; for example 12.13.18 ...

2. When you search for these contacts using advance find "12" to filter
those contacts that you've sent Correspondence id 12 to or Correspondence id
13 and so on...

3. To search for contacts that did NOT get Correspondence 12, then filter on
this field "Does not contain" 12...

the addin in Outlook, close Outlook, re-register the dll using regsvr32.exe,
open Outlook and add crmaddin.dll back to your com add-ins.

One of these two fixes works most of the time.

The other thing we have found is that SFO is not compatible with McAfee 8.0.
If you have McAfee 8.0 installed on the machine the SFO CRM folders won't
work. There is a workaround for this problem described elsewhere in this
forum.

When none of the above works I usually uninstall and reinstall SFO
completely.

Microsoft Word - word 360 templates

Microsoft Word - word 360 templates

word 360 templates

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 03:05 PM PDT

I opened a word template.  I modified it by changing the text in a letter.   I saved the document.  I then attached it to an email.  (outlook)  

when I opened the attachment the document with word 360 it was viewed in "read mode" and the formatting was destroyed.  I know that I can click on picture layout and the attachment is reformatted as it should be.  Why does it change formats and how would the person receiving the attachment know what to do to view it correctly?

seeking possible solution to an unusual case relating to Reference > Mark Index entry > Cross-reference

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 01:23 PM PDT

  • I have an item XYZ listed on pg.2 and XYZ details on pg.273
  • I select the item XYZ on pg.2 and click 'Mark All' under 'References > Mark entry'
  • Index now lists that item XYZ........2, 273
  • After the item XYZ on pg.2, I add within brackets (details on pg.273)
  • Later, I add 5 pages in between pg.2 and pg.273 as a result XYZ details appearing on pg.273 move to pg.278 and Index updates itself accordingly
  • What I need to do so that entry XYZ (details on pg.273) gets updated to (details on pg.278)?

If item XYZ was to be part of TOC, it would be a straightforward case. But that won't the serve purpose.

Thank you.

<Moved from Windows 7 > Programs>  <Word Version unspecified>

I do editing of documents that originate in other countries, primarily China (using Word's track changes program). Lately, the word count feature (that tells how many words are in a document) has stopped working. Any help to figure out this problem and how to solve it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Footnote in Word 2010

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 09:52 AM PDT

Every time I try to insert a footnote in Word 2010, instead of a small number on the spot where I want to insert, a full size number appears.  I simply cannot seem to change it.  I shut down and restarted, inserted in several 'test spots" to see if anything changed - nothing.  It still looks like this:

" involvement with the arts forms 1"


I simply cannot get the number right!

Word cannot start the converter PDF files

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 05:22 AM PDT

Office 2013 Pro Plus cant open PDF files. Receive the error "word cannot start the converter PDF files". Ran the repair - not fixed. PDF files open fine in Win 8 Reader. No other PDF apps have ever been installed. Just used the default Win 8.1 reader. I'm guessing PDF Reflow is missing or corrupt. Any info on this error /converter? 

Thanks -

I'm left with 2 options - retry and cancel.

Does anyone know how I can repair this ? It's a very important document.

Microsoft Equation 3.0 makes word temporarily freeze

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 02:50 AM PDT

Hello there,

I use equations very often in my documents and recently I have been experiencing a lot of frustration using the Equation editor. Every time I edit or add an equation my MS Word temporally freezes for around 30sec - 1 min, this may seem not so bad, but when you add an equation every 3 or 4 words it really becomes an annoyance.

I tried using other Office products like Power Point and the problem keeps happening, even when pasting the equation into the word document it still takes a while to add the equation.

I installed from MS 2010 to 2013 and the problem is still there.

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit.

Equation Editor Question

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 10:31 PM PDT

My Equation Editor has been behaving strangely in recent weeks. It generally works normally when I open Word. As soon as I press the backspace key, however, two strange symbols appear on each side of the editor field. (The backspace key itself may not be the real trigger... more specifically, I believe the symbols appear when I press backspace or certain other keys without there being any actual symbols in the Editor field.) The symbols are distracting, and they do not disappear when I exit the Editor. What is more, once they have appeared, they reappear whenever I reopen the Editor. Only when I restart Word completely do I get rid of them. Any suggestions about how to resolve this problem would be much appreciated.

Lexmark Printer Preferences window in Word 2013 will not close

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 10:10 PM PDT

When trying to adjust printer preferences in Microsoft Word 2013 (Office 365 with current updates), the printer preferences window will not close and I am forced to open Task Manager to End Task (for Word, I tried to end task for just the preferences window to no avail). The OK, Cancel and 'X' for closing window all blink as if recognized, but will not close the window. The window is responsive, I can switch tabs within it, and change settings, but it won't close so that I can get back to print or edit my document. My computer is running Windows 8.1 Pro with all current updates and I am using the most recent driver from the Lexmark support site (driver is listed as version 2.2.8.1 in Device Manager). The printer is connected via USB (not the wireless option). The printer will still print and default preferences can be set from the 'Devices and Printers' page of the Windows Control Panel, but I am unable to adjust preferences from within MS Office. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the printer driver, but still no luck.

I also sent a support request to Lexmark about this, but I suspect this is Office 2013/365-related, seeing as I can adjust Preferences through the Control Panel. I just figured I'd check with the folks at Lexmark to see if this was an issue they had heard of before. I couldn't find anything similar when searching on Google.

Enable Guest edit via Installed Office to docs on SharePointOnline?

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 07:01 PM PDT

I'm using SharePointOnline.com.  I want to share and document with  someone outside of my organization so they can edit it using INSTALLED Office (e.g., because Web version of Word does not display or enable revision tracking).  I've tried sharing the doc to their Microsoft email address (e.g., hotmail.com or outlook.com) and require login.  They say they still can only edit with online Word (not installed version).

Help?

Use of ALL CAPS in the ribbon tabs and status bar messages in Office 2013

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 03:56 PM PDT

In general I'm happy with Office 2013 but someone at MS has made a serious blunder - almost as irritating as 'Clippy.' They've decided to use ALL CAPS for tab headers and messages in the status bars.

Ask any educationalist and they'll tell you that makes words harder to read at a glance. The words lose their shape. They also take up more space on the screen - something which can be at a premium at times. I'm sure someone will point out that the important bits in legal contracts are written in upper case but those are written by lawyers and I don't think they want to make contracts easy to read or understand.

Now it's possible to change the text in tab headers by right clicking and renaming the tab using mixed case and a space. That doesn't change the status bar though and that extra space takes up yet more space. I'm told it's possible to change the registry to fix the status bar but MS are not going to tell us how. Anyone know?

What's your view? Is this something which irritates? Should MS produce a fix in the form of a check-box in options?
