| File > New in Word 2013? Posted: 03 Nov 2014 02:49 PM PST Split from this thread. In Word, choose File > New and the only template option is what is on line; not my own. What is up with that? I am trying to be open to change but moving from Office 2007 to 2013 has been extremely disappointing so far. I work a lot with templates and this makes it very difficult to accomplish. In 2007, it was easy. File > New > Template and see a whole list of all my templates. Choose one and start working! Want to create a new template based upon your current file, no problem. File > Save As > choose Template and the folder location automatically navigates to my templates folder. In 2013, install creates a Custom Office Templates folder in My Documents. If I copy all my templates over to there, I can navigate to them and open one. If I choose Save, it saves the template. I have to choose Save As and choose Word document (it stays as Template unless you change it), change the location and save to save as a word doc. I can do that, but it's not an easy task for the typical user. Didn't Microsoft test usability with users before committing to such poor UI and functionality decisions? I am seriously considering reverting back to 2007 and I HATE doing that but I am not impressed! Gerald |
| Need text fields to print with content, not to print when empty Posted: 03 Nov 2014 01:30 PM PST I've created a fillable form, first using text via Content Control, and second trying it with Legacy Text Form Field. It is a simple invoice template I am creating, but I want to provide enough fields for different types of clients. However, as clients sometimes have additional fields (ie. "Address 2", "Name 2," "c/o," etc.), I need to be able to provide fields for each option, but make it so that the empty fields do not print with the field description text. I've attached an image of the invoice in progress. Those are the Content Control fields, and they're currently set to "hidden." If I type something in as it is now, nothing prints. If I change all the fields to not be hidden, then everything prints. I need this to be a template my employees can use by just typing, tabbing between fields, and hitting print. Is this possible at all?

| Why are my page numbers changing when I print a document? Posted: 03 Nov 2014 01:00 PM PST Why are my page numbers changing when I print a document? In the document header we are using, for instance, Page 21 of 63. It looks fine in the document, even in Print Preview, but when I print it out all the pages show Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2 .....Page 63 of 63. Any ideas? |
| 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS Posted: 03 Nov 2014 11:46 AM PST Hi, On machine A when I add in the program helper file to save the doc's as PDF's it seems OK. On machine B when I add in the program helper file to save he doc's as PDF's I can't click the check box in the options section because it's greyed out. Any ideas why? They are different systems like Win XP vs Win 7 and one system has Acrobat 10 Pro on it but the same copies of Office 2007 Pro installed. The user is having BIG trouble creating PDF's with the book marks showing up properly ......... Cheers' Dave

| Cannot open Word 2007 files that are corrupted before 10/27/2014 - Can create, save and open docx after this date Posted: 03 Nov 2014 09:42 AM PST I can create and open new 2007 Word files. However, all my files prior to 10/27/2014 cannot be opened. I get a corrupted message. Says the file cannot be open because there are problems with the content. Then asks me if I want to recover the content and when clicking yes, I get the same corrupted message. Something happened on 10/27/2014. I have three files in my Word directory that I did not create. One is an Internet shortcut called "Install_TOR" which when accessed tries to bring up a site called paytordmbdekmizq.torpayusd.com'80314 but the Internet is unable to display the page. The other two files have the same content; one in HTML and one in text. Both called Decrypt_Instruction. The content is: What happened to your files ?
All of your files were protected by a strong encryption with RSA-2048 using CryptoWall 2.0.
More information about the encryption keys using RSA-2048 can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA (cryptosystem)
What does this mean ?
This means that the structure and data within your files have been irrevocably changed, you will not be able to work with them, read them or see them,
it is the same thing as losing them forever, but with our help, you can restore them.
How did this happen ?
Especially for you, on our server was generated the secret key pair RSA-2048 - public and private.
All your files were encrypted with the public key, which has been transferred to your computer via the Internet.
Decrypting of your files is only possible with the help of the private key and decrypt program, which is on our secret server.
What do I do ?
Alas, if you do not take the necessary measures for the specified time then the conditions for obtaining the private key will be changed.
If you really value your data, then we suggest you do not waste valuable time searching for other solutions because they do not exist.

| Issues PerformingMail Merge of Rich Text from Access 2007 into Word 2007 Posted: 03 Nov 2014 09:33 AM PST I have a word document that I am trying to merge the data into from an Access database. Several of the fields in the Access Database are in a rich text format to allow users to create a bulleted list in the form that, ideally, would have output that data into the word document in the same formatting that the access database saved it in. Example: I have several lists of bulleted items I want to put in cells in a word document table like: - frogs
- cats
- dogs
and - pie
- apples
- cake
- cookies
I want the number formatting, the bolded items, and those underlined to insert themselves into my document as they appear above using a mail merge field. When I do this, however, I get just the words and associated coding in brackets (like "<ul> <li> <font face=Arial size=2> BCK 120004 frogs </font> </li>") instead of the words being formatted appropriately. How do I get (or can I get) mail merge to display the formatted text instead of using the formatting of my word document and displaying formatting codes as text? |
| Hyperlink to Figures Posted: 03 Nov 2014 09:30 AM PST I know how to cross reference to figures and hyperlink to titles, but the hyperlinks to figures only work within Word. Do I need to do cross reference and then set a bookmark in order to hyperlink in the printed PDF version? I have XP, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 available to me but anything I do needs to be backwards compatible. |

| Export an entire Word (2010) .docx as a high-resolution image file Posted: 03 Nov 2014 08:47 AM PST I am creating musical examples (sheet music) to be published in an academic journal. My modus operandi has been this: 1) Using my music notation software (Finale 2012, if anyone's interested), I create the music notation 2) I export the excerpt I need as a JPEG file, 1200 dpi 3) I insert that JPEG into a MS Word (2010) document, and add annotations (additional text, arrows, circles, text boxes, etc) as needed. So, now, I have a bunch of separate one-page .docx files that look exactly how I want them to look (apart from extra "white space" on the page). I am requesting any help with converting each of these .docx files into an image file (note: I want the whole page; I do not want to extract the images from the document). I have tried converting to PDF and then using Photoshop and/or Acrobat to convert that PDF to an image file....but image quality seems to suffer greatly. If anyone has any tips on how to convert an entire .docx page into a high-resolution image file, I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you! |

| Can't Switch Accounts in Word 2013 Posted: 03 Nov 2014 07:08 AM PST Another day, another Word 2013 hassle. I'm suspecting MSFT did next to zero user testing of the new features in this release. I have two Microsoft accounts, both for signing into Microsoft forums like this and hotmail online, and for Word. My default in Word is account B. I want to edit a document using account A, the one I'm signed into on this forum. In the upper right corner, I click on where it shows my name as user B. I pull down to "Switch account." I click on that. It shows Account B as current account and Account A as Other account. I click on Account A, the one I want to switch to. I see this blue bar acting like it's doing something but then when the blue bar goes away, I'm still signed in as Account B. Nothing happened. I click to sign out of Account B. But the message I get is NOT for signing out. It's for "Removing this account" a very different proposition. It says "Removing this account will remove all customizations, ...." I clicked on SIGNING out, not REMOVING the account. So why am I getting this scary message?? Why don't the link I clicked on and the message match?? I also tried doing this from the Account menu from the file bar on the left. Same results. How do I switch to account A, which Word knows about but I'm not able to get in?? Thank in advance. |
| 'Accept all changes' does not work Posted: 03 Nov 2014 05:32 AM PST The 'Accept all Changes in Document' option in my Microsoft Word 2010 does not work. It appears in the 'Accept' dropdown menu in the 'Review' tab, but when it is selected (even with markups showing), nothing happens at all - all the changes are still visible; instead, I have to go though and accept changes one-by-one. In contrast, 'Reject all Changes in Document' seems to work as normal. I have looked in all of my settings and cannot find anything that might cause this. It happens with every single Word document, whether saved in compatibility mode or not. Any advice please? |
| Compile error in hidden module: ThisDocument (Microsoft Word 2002) Posted: 03 Nov 2014 04:57 AM PST I recently uninstalled LEC Power Translator, but I can't get rid of the macro. I've tried using the "Templates and Add-ins" tool, and while it got rid of the bar, it re-appeared when I opened a new document. I've tried using the "Detect and Repair," both with and without restoring default settings. I've tried using Visual Basic Editor. I've tried uninstalling Word, and then re-installing it. I've tried deleting the Power Translator file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup. I've tried changing my security settings for macros. I've tried re-installing Power Translator, and then trying all of the things listed above, plus a few others. HOW THE HELL DO I GET RID OF THIS DAMNED THING!?

| Office 2013 keeps crashing and restarting Posted: 03 Nov 2014 02:10 AM PST Hey people, My Microsoft office 2013, legal version, keep crashing every 2-3 minutes after starting and restarts to produce a fresh document.

| Odd Ruler Behavior on Page Containing Table and Text Posted: 02 Nov 2014 11:36 PM PST I have a 4-column table with a few paragraphs of text under it. The page has no sections (that I can see). The page margins are set to 1" left and right. Oddly, the text is aligned under the right border of the table and I can't figure out how to get it to align 1" from with the left margin of the page, as the paragraph options assure me it is doing. The ruler looks quite different depending on whether my cursor is in the table or the text. The usable ruler displayed when in table starts on the left edge of the page and ends just short of 11." Then the ruler continues to 18.5" but is grayed out. The ruler when the cursor is in the text portion begins at 0, but is actually 11" as it is aligned under the last column of the table and starts at the right margin of the page. The ruler is now grayed out on the left side so I cannot adjust it that way either. Does anyone know what's causing it and how to fix it? Thanks. |
| Unable to edit Excel object within Word 2013 Posted: 02 Nov 2014 06:51 PM PST Whenever I try to edit a Excel object within word I keep getting this message: "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed" Thing is that I am able to edit tables without any problem on other machines (one with Office 2010 and other with Office 2013). I run Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. I have tried the following, without success: - Doing the Office Repair as suggested
- There are no COM Add-ins active in Excel
- Open word in Safe-mode
- Disable my antivirus (McAfee)
- Uninstall and reinstall Office 2013.
Even after reinstalled Office 2013, I am still getting the same message. Any ideas? |

| Can't Edit .doc File, only opens in Protected View Posted: 02 Nov 2014 06:01 PM PST I'm really starting to hate "Protected View" and the "File Block Settings" screen that is supposed to allow you to change settings but doesn't. I have Word 2013 running on Win 7. My colleague emails me a file that I HAVE TO EDIT in .doc form. I get the dumb message (why can't we copy and paste these messages) "PROTECTED VIEW Editing this file type is not allowed due to your policy settings. Click for more details." I click, see "Protected View" for the file with "Enable Editing" grayed out. I click on File Block Settings, try both Restore Defaults and Clicking open and save for every file type, and at the bottom , I click "Open selected file types in Protected View and allow editing" because that seems to be the only option that allows editing. NO CHANGE!!!! When I go back to the file, it's the same, editing is still grayed out!! HOW DO I GET AT THIS FILE that I need to edit NOW?? AND WHO DESIGNED THIS UI?? Thanks in advance. |
| Word program lost Posted: 02 Nov 2014 05:26 PM PST I have had my Word program installed on my desktop for many years and recently found my wifes Office Home Student 2010 disk that she had purchased last year. Last year she installed the program into her desktop and the instructions said it could be installed into 3 additional home computers. The disk has excel, so I attempted to install the disk into my desktop. After installation, I discovered that not only does the excel not work, my original word does not work. I can open the excell icon on my shortcut, but I cannot save or print a document. When I attempt to open an old Word doc, I get an error message that the program is incompatible and the path cannot be found. I have tried to restore my computer to an earlier date and it did not work. I attempted to troubleshoopt incompatibilty and restore previous versions and my error message says no previous versions can be found. I don't know what to do next. |
| Cropping images in Microsoft Word 2013 Posted: 02 Nov 2014 05:03 PM PST Hello, I try to quickly format images that I print screen from my computer by copying that print into word, then cropping the image to the size that i need, then saving this as an image file. However, whenever I save the cropped image, and open this file, the original size of the image is opened (aka the entire screen print). Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or not understanding on this process? Maybe I don't understand how word saves .png or .jpg files? Sincerely, Dan |
