Microsoft Word - Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Microsoft Word - Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Changing the defaults doesn't work with indents

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 02:57 PM PST

Split from this thread.

Select your text and go to "Home" tab and make sure you are in the "Normal" style. Go to the Page Layout tab and click the "Show the Paragraph Dialog Box" button (located under Before and After Spacing) and set Line Spacing as you want it, i.e., single, double, etc.    

How come this option doesn't seem to work well with indentations?  Is there a way to make it work with indentations that you know of?

trying to create a macro to save a template

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 02:11 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm using Office 2013.  I have created a macro that I've placed on my QAT which opens a template of our company letterhead.  When I open this template from that macro, then insert a file into it, then go to save, my save as dialog reverts to the template folder from which I've pulled the template.  I was wondering if there is a way to modify my macro so that after I've inserted another file, I can hit save as and my dialog box will open to the folder from which I've inserted the file.  This is the current macro. The I:\Crystal Lake is our root directory.

 ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
        "C:\Users\270pjy\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\"
    Documents.Open FileName:="normwlogo.doc", ConfirmConversions:=False, _
        ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", _
        PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", _
        WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, XMLTransform:=""
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "I:\Crystal Lake\"

can I simply use something along these lines?

myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.doc")

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Optima font issue

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 01:28 PM PST

Our small newspaper is equipped with four identical PC compatible stations, with Adobe InDesign for page layout. Identical fonts are used on all four - or so we thought. All of a sudden one of the four stations, according to its user, says that Optima (truetype) no longer functions correctly. Our IT department has worked in an effort to try and fix it. Any ideas, suggestions, clues? 

Content control boxes and formatting

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 11:58 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I have a template/form where I'm using content control so that the responses can be spell-checked. Unfortunately I'm having some difficulty with the logistics! (it would be nice if Microsoft was able to figure out the spell-check issue with regular forms... if they have, please let me know! those are easier to use!!)

Basically the form I've created has questions (which are locked) and then responses (content control). Users would like to be able to change the colour of certain sections of their responses but when I tried, it changes all of the paragraph. I've tried setting it to character only but it doesn't work for me. Maybe I've done the process wrong?

Example:

1. What concern's you the most about Sam?

Mom - Sam likes to play in traffic

Sam - Not true!

The writer would like to highlight/change the font colour of Sam's answer, but when they try, the whole response (mom's answer) changes colour as well.

Is there a way around this?

Sincerely,

Lea

Discrepancies in word count between status bar and pop up window

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 11:22 AM PST

Recently switched to office 365 personal. I noticed that the word count in the status bar doesn't match the word count in the pop up window that comes up when you click on the status bar. It's crucial for my work to know the correct word count. Which is the correct one? How do I fix the discrepancy? (BTW - this is not an issue of having the count include text boxes and notes, the discrepancy is there with both options)

Editing Multiple Building Blocks

Conditional Document Properties with bullet Points

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 07:39 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I've got a little problem in Word, which is driving me nuts.

Already searched in the web, but could not find anything that matches my situation:

I have a word document with a bunch of document properties. Those properties are connected to fields within a SharePoint Document library.

There are about a dozen fields, which are optional: so they may or may not contain any content.

Now I want to include those fields into my document with two requirements: 

  1. The properties should be listed among each other with enumeration style
  2. Because the properties are optional, they should be shown if and only if they are not empty

I'll call those fields Textblock1, Textblock2,...

So what I tried so far is the following:

{IF "[Textblock1]" <> "[Textblock1]" "[Textblock1]" ""}{IF "[Textblock2]" <> "[Textblock2]" "
[Textblock2]" ""}{IF "[Textblock3]" <> "[Textblock3]" "
[Textblock3]" ""}{IF "[Textblock4]" <> "[Textblock4]" "
[Textblock4]" ""}

Where the newlines (CR+LF) are indeed included in my contentcontrols!

(Just for understanding: The If statement compares the documentproperty-control with a string value, named as the documentproperty, to verify whether or not the property is empty. I marked every control Bold and every String Italic)

This works fine so far, BUT I dont get any paragraph styles (including enmueration) applied to my content controls.

I'm quite sure, this is because of the newline inside the formulas.

So my question is: Has anyone an idea to get this working or a diffrent approach to reach the goal?

Kind regards

Michael

Help content for Word and Excel 2007 no longer helpful

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:55 AM PST

In the past week I have had to use Help in both Word and Excel.  The results are no longer related to my question.  The content no longer has links to sites who actually know answers and most often I'm just getting very generic articles that have nothing to do with my question.  I have two computers both with Office 2007 and running with two versions of Windows - Vista and Windows 7.  Example:  I submitted in Word - troubleshoot paste special not working.  The results I got were 'A visual introduction to the 2007 Office release' and Submission guidelines for Microsoft Office Word 2007 templates.  The first link provided me with an 'ad' for a book.  What has happened to Help?

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:45 AM PST

This is what I'm doing presently:  I'm creating a standard form template using content control.  I insert a "rich text content control."  I set the Properties:  Show as Bounding Box; Use a style to format text typed into the empty control; New Style.  For my "New Style" I choose a Name, Style type (Linked (Paragraph and Character)); Style based on Paragraph Normal.  I choose my formatting Arial/10/single space and check New documents based on this template.  I "ok" it and then save.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Word 2013 won´t keep certain display settings

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 06:37 AM PST

Hi,


Word 2013: File->Settings->Advanded->Display. The following three settings are randomly and without any obvious reason reverted to their default values:

- Show this number of Recent Documents

- Quickly access this number of Recent Documents

- Show this number of unpinned Recent Folders

Furthermore, and at least as annoying, also the size and placement of the "Open" window ("dialogue box"?) reverts to default dimensions.

I can live with all these problems, but I would appreciate if somebody has a solution so that Word will kindly behave as it is supposed to.

Kind regards,

Capture page header lines individually to VBA variables

I found some sample code that will display the whole header, however, I cannot see how I can achieve the objective based on this.

Sub GetHeader()
'
'Display content of header sections

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
 If .Range.Text <> vbCr Then

 Else
 MsgBox "Header is empty"

Scrolling very choppy in Word 2013 (windows 8.1) in draft view.

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 03:43 PM PST

In Word, when I scroll up, pause, and then scroll down,it will keep scrolling up a few lines before it catches and scrolls down. It's very annoying, and it does it the opposite direction too. I noticed it does this only in draft view. In the page view, the scrolling seems a lot smoother. I've tried two different mice, and I've tried deselecting "animate controls and elements inside windows" , and still the same problem. I can switch the mouse back to my old laptop (Word 2010, Windows Vista) and the scrolling works just fine. So I'm pretty sure it's not the mouse. Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix it?

I'm also curious if others have noticed an issue.

Form Fields reset when printing.

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 03:40 PM PST

I created a form where the user can complete various form fields (legacy) and they each "calculate on exit" to allow the additional form fields in the form to update according to the data entered and create the desired result:

  • The date is calculated on each page once or twice to become a future date
  • The names and addresses are "ref" copied on every other page
  • and a table is created at the end documenting the specific dates

Everything works as desired until I go to print it.  whether I use the "quick print" feature or the Ctrl+P dialog, what prints is the wrong date on every page except the first two.  

The situation is quite frustrating.

Try the install again.

Can't register Office 2000 - I can use it only 30 more times!

Posted: 13 Nov 2007 05:59 PM PST

This is not actually activation. It is registration, and I do recall having
to register after several other reinstalls. It works like activation except
that you are allowed to use the Office products a certain number of time. I
think Istarted out with 50 - now down to 30. Presumably, if you don't
register before you get to zero, you can't use the product any longer.

My basic question is: How do you register when the wizard no longer allows
the www option, the email option doesn't give you a secret code, and the
telephone option doesn't know what you're talking about?

I figured that "the community" is likely to have come across this dilemma
before. So here I am.

How to disable MSOCACHE / Remove MSOCACHE post installation

Posted: 12 Nov 2007 09:21 AM PST

Well it should be mentioned that you shouldn't run setup directly from the
msocache. What you probably want to do is share out a directory with a copy
of the source and run setup from there on the machines. The bandwith used in
that process will be comparible to copying the source to each machine anyway.

It is not recommended to manually copy the msocache to each machine. Let the
install create the msocache.

"Holland" <com> wrote:
 

Holland,
By timescale bars I assume you mean the Gantt bars. My first question
is, are you sure that is what you really want to do? The Duration field
shows working time based on a default 5 day work week at 8 hours per
day. However, elapsed time can be shown in the Duration column by either
changing the default calendar (and some options) to a 24 hour work day
or by simply entering duration values in elapsed time (e.g. 10ed for 10
elapsed days). On the other hand, the Gantt bars normally show elapsed
time. They can be configured to show working time but it would be very
confusing. For example, let's say a task starts on Monday and has a
duration of 10 days (i.e. goes through Friday of the following week).
The normal Gantt bar will show a bar from Monday through Friday of the
following week. However, if the Gantt bar was showing working time, it
would go from Monday through Wednesday of the following week. That's
because the Gantt bars always including non-working time - in this case
the weekend.

Now, it that really what you want to do?

Assign duration for 24 hour calendar

Posted: 24 Oct 2005 01:38 PM PDT

JulieS,

Thanks so much for your extra help.

You are exactly correct when you say "How would anyone looking at a schedule
be able to know if a day is 24 hours or 8 hours? It would vary depending
upon which resource was assigned." This is precisely what I want. Becuase
the duration of my 24hr/7day per week resource is 45 days (24 hour days), I
don't want to list this duration as 1080 hours (management won't understand
how long that is without a calculator...). If they saw 45 days and looked at
the resource they would immediatly know that these are 24 hour days. With
many other parallel tasks on-going during this 45 day period with normal 8
hour per day resources , I cannot change my entire project chart to 24 hour
days. So how can I clearly express these durations? Any help?

How do i lock the Baseline Start Column?

Posted: 24 Oct 2005 10:59 AM PDT

Go to the insert menu, select column and choose one of the available text
columns
select your baseline column (baseline finish for example) by clicking on the
column head.
Copy.
select your text column
paste.
Now the two are equivalent.
Select the text column and delete it (this just hides it from view)

Now if they change the baseline it will be different from the values in the
text column.
To check if they are equivalent, it is easiest to use a flag field.
Insert one of the flag fields. Right click the column header.
Select customize fields.
Click on the formula button
enter a formula like
iif([Baseline Finish]=[Text1],"Yes", "No")

Now that field will show no for any tasks where the baseline has been
changed.

Finally, create a filter. Set it for all tasks which have a Flag1 value of
"No".

An alternative is to use the compare projects add-in.

When trying to access Word, I am asked to activate Office so I enter my email and password and get the following error message:  Sorry;, we ran into a problem while trying to install the product key.  If this keeps happening you should try repairing your office product.  (System err 0xc06d007e).  I then get three options:  Repair Now     Help     Cancel

When I click on Repair Now, nothing happens....it just takes me out of Word altogether.  Would like to get some things done, so how do I get this working again, or is it something Microsoft needs to repair on their end?

Changing styles

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:24 PM PST

Word 2010.  I create a document using styles, some of which I alter and then update all examples of that style.  I save the document and close it.  When next I open the document, the altered styles have reverted back to the original.  Also, while working in the document, working with text using one style makes other styles change.  How can I stabalize the document?

"Rules" fields in Word disappear (mail merge)

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:10 PM PST

I am creating an email template in Word that requires some IF ... THEN logic. In this case, the data I'm pulling from Excel uses abbreviations, but I would like to replace it with the full word. But  whenever I create a rule field it never shows in the document. Even if I manually enter them by hitting Ctrl-F9 and write out the IF statement manually it will disappear after I send the email.

Is there any way to display all of the "Rules" fields with the logic in them - maybe a "hide/unhide" function?

For example if I create a rule that checks to see if the data in the Excel file says "11" and replaces it with "November" I want it to display a field that looks like this: { IF { MERGEFIELD month } = "11" "November" "" }

The file is working, but it's frustrating when I can't know for sure if all of the IF statements I need are actually there and the last thing I want to do is send out an email to 50 recipients and have blank fields because I missed a rule.

Thanks.

Microsoft Word Templates Text box

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:09 PM PST

I want to create a template for an announcement sheet. It should generally look like this:

Awards

John Doe..................................Dogbone 1

Mary Smith..............................Red Jewel 1

Sean Howard..........................Challenge Patch 6

etc.

Art Night Winners

Susie Black

Callie Winters

etc.

The headings Awards, Art Night Winners, etc. should be protected (unchangeable).

How do I accommodate any number of winners in my lists since I can't use the enter key in a text box. If I put in as many text boxes as I could possibly have winners, then I will have extra space in my document.

Once a Word or Excel doc is corrupted, how can you recover it?

Split from this thread.

This did not answer the question.  The question was how to recover these corrupted files, not how to save them as a converted document.

Word2013 crash

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:50 AM PST

Hello Everyone,

I have subscribed to the Office365 - and downloaded it on my New Lenovo Yoga2 160GB-Solid state Hard Drive - Windows 8.1.

I am unable to use the Word application - as it crashes if I use the backspace key or if I hit the right click button, or try to edit the document that requires too much clicking.

Please help me - as this problem is causing the word application to keep restarting or just close down.

I am able to recover my documents in the recover mode but unable to complete my work.

Thank you for your assistance.

regards

Cross reference automatically updating deleted section to 1.1

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 08:34 AM PST

In my document, I have several sections that are references.  These documents are sometimes used as templates for others.  When they decide to delete a section that is being cross referenced, the former number would then say, "ERROR SOURCE REFERENCE NOT FOUND" However now it is does not.  It just changes the deleted reference number to 1.1.  How can I can get it to not automatically change it to 1.1?

Word is autocorrecting in French even though all my language settings are for U.S. English

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 07:01 AM PST

I have Office 20013. In Word, my AutoCorrect is spell checking in French instead of English, even though all my language settings are set for English (United States). When I go into the Options: Language tab, English (United States) is the default language. When I go into the proofing tab, and click on "AutoCorrect options," the title of the box when the AutoCorrect tab is on, is "AutoCorrect: French (France)." When I click and of the the other four tabs, the title is simply "AutoCorrect." There seems to be no way to change this setting. How to fix this and get it to autocorrect in English?

Split Batch Documents into Single Files

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 05:13 AM PST

Hello,

Our document production system uses word to generate all of our letters in batches, so that one file contains up to 200 letters. This is how our document system manages things. However, a client has requested individual documents for their work. Is there a macro that can run against a file that might contain anything up to 200 pages and split these into a word file for each of those pages, and then save them into a given location? The file name would need to contain a prescribed set of details such as original letter description (which will be part of the initial batch), date and...... I'm not sure what else at the moment.

It could be that some of these documents might be 2 page letters so we'll need to be able to determine if this is the case or not, so that we keep each page together.

In the first instance, we just need to know if it is possible to split them out and save them as separate documents.

I hope this all makes sense.

Thanks.

Regards,

Chris

Problem with iOS Keyboard app on iPad

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 02:38 AM PST

DESCRIPTION
We have developed an iOS keyboard app and we have found an issue in Microsoft Word for iPad.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In MS Word on iPad, create a new document or start a new line in an existing document.
2. Type one letter (eg "A")
3. Delete the letter (so the line is now empty).
4. Our keyboard needs to find out what is to the right of the caret. Using a subclass of the UIInputViewController, we use self.textDocumentProxy documentContextAfterInput

ACTUAL RESULT:
The result we get is "A"

EXPECTED RESULT:
The result should be null.

ADDITIONAL INFO
1. If we want to find out what is to the left of the caret, using self.textDocumentProxy.documentContextBeforeInput, we get the correct result
2. Step 1 is essential - it has to be the beginning of a line.
3. If you move the caret to a different position in the document after step 3, and then move the caret back to the same position, the issue does not occur.
4. We don't get this issue with any other app - it only occurs in Microsoft Word.

[BACKGROUND
it's not a problem for most keyboards, because most predictors only look backwards. Ours looks forwards as well, so that it can correctly complete words when the caret is in the middle of an existing word. For example, you can place the caret after the "k" in "walked" and select "walking" in the predictor. Our predictor deals with this case correctly.]

About word template

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 01:16 AM PST

Dears

Please can you tell me how to create a cover page, back cover (the end of the document), and chapter page on my word template? They all for optional uses on the new document basic create by the template. The schematic diagram as shown below:

In addition, I want a header showed the Company name, Chapter name and Author name on each pages. but I do not how to do it. For example,

  • The Company name on the header on each page is the same as the company name which shown on the cover page.
  • The Heading name on the header on each page is the same as the Heading name which shown on the chapter page. It's cover heading name and auto number.
  • The V1 is the auto number on chapter page. That meaning if I insert some      more chapter page on the document, the auto number should be shown as      V2, V3 and so on. 
  • The Author name on the header on each page is the same as the company name which shown on the cover page.

The schematic diagram as shown below:

However, please don't be so stingy to share that if you have any good idea on how to create a cover page, back cover (the end of the document), and chapter page. Thanks lots.

After saving a download as a PDF file, how do I find the PDF?

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 11:24 PM PST

I downloaded and saved some bank statements as PDF files. Now I cannot find them. I only find Word documents. I am using Word 2013.

Should I go back and save the downloads as Word documents instead of PDF files?

Index question

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 09:58 PM PST


I have these fields in the text:

{XE \F "S" "Ark, Noah's"}

{XE \F "S" "Ark, Noah's" \r "Z_G3"}


My "S" index has these resulting consecutive entries:

Ark, Noah's: 367

Ark, Noah's: 340–48


I expected this:

Ark, Noah's: 340–48, 367


There are a few similar cases. Am I wrong to expect the combined entry?

Text highlighted in grey in word document (and not coming off)

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 06:40 PM PST

Hi, 

I am having a strange issue with my microsoft word that I have not been able to figure out.

My whole text is highlighted in grey and I know its not the highlighter (I have checked that), nor the background and I can't figure out how to take it off.

When I put it in print preview it is not there anymore, but when I'm working on the document it stays grey and it is really annoying!

I have tried to clear the formatting, merge the formatting but nothing has worked. 

I just want to take this grey off. Can anyone help please?

Thank you. 

Bilingual document needs bilingual TOC

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 06:36 PM PST

Hello! I have created a bilingual document using a 2-column table in landscape mode. I would like to now create a TOC (the document is 150 pages), with the Heading 1 and 2 entries from the left column in a cell above the document body.

I have tried a lot of things, and none of them quite work - instead of the TOC entry and leader dots fitting in the cell, it is as though the entry wants to be the full page width.

Is there a way to change the default formatting of the entry so each entry and page number will fit in the 5" wide cell? I will also do the same process for the right hand column, but it will not be difficult as the two columns have different formatting styles (Header 1 on left, RHeader 1 on right; Header 2 and RHeader 2, etc.), so whatever process I use on the left will be done on the right.

Thanks for your help in setting this up.

How to access fonts Word

Posted: 03 Nov 2014 04:29 PM PST

I am working with Microsoft Windows 365 running on 8.1 . I have found my installed fonts but when I am working in Word and pull down design and click fonts there is a tiny choice. The fonts I want are marked as show , they are not hidden. But I can't access or use them. Since I am new to Windows do not use any jargon or jump through steps or indicate I should use the "hamburger button" or other such nomenclature that presumes I have been in this environment forever. Thanks,
