Microsoft Word - Functionality issues with Word document

Microsoft Word - Functionality issues with Word document

Functionality issues with Word document

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 02:25 PM PST

I have posted this document for viewing http://1drv.ms/1EHDAXz in effort to allow those assisting to see the existing structure.  Please note I did not create this document but am trying to improve functionality per request.

There are several things going on with this piece including a table with coding (I believe, not sure), a building block, and tables with text form fields including number formatting and formulas.

There is a code in ThisDocument that reads as follows:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox11_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox21_Click()

End Sub

I recently added the building block with two different company names and addresses.  Prior, the user would type them in manually and the document had restricted editing in place.  The restricted editing allowed the user to click any of the checkboxes in the document and mark that box; without restricted editing it requires the user to double click the checkmark boxes and select "checked."  This is not a change we want.

My issue is restricting the editing disables the option for the user to select the company name from the building block. 

I have tried replacing all text form fields with rich text content controls and that would work great, except that you cannot include formulas.

I also tried using continuous section breaks to protect specified sections of the document but that also disables the building block.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Christina

Changing the Open/Computer default from Libraries to C Drive

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 01:51 PM PST

Hi -

I'm using Word 2013 and Windows 7.  When you "open" a file and double click on the "computer," it defaults to the Libraries.  Is there a way to change the default to the C drive?

Thank you for your time.

Create table of contents without style formatting

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 12:57 PM PST

I am trying to create a table of contents without changing the formatting of the main document. The problem that I'm running into is that not all of the text I'm marking as level 1 has the same formatting, and the same for levels 2 through 5 so I end up with 12 styles for 5 levels of my table of contents. Is there a way to mark something as level 1-5 without the need for adjusting the formatting of it. If you are familiar with how to do it in Word Perfect X6 I am looking for something closer to that.

Is it really not possible to paste plain text in Word for iPad?

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 11:15 AM PST

The headline says it all - is it true that there is no way to paste from the clipboard in the Word for iPad app as "Plain text", i.e., *not* pasting the formatting?

Multiple Lines in a single field in a single record split into multiple cells in a table in Word using Mail Merge

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 10:53 AM PST

So I'm sure the title of my question is very...lengthy and possibly vague - sorry about that!

I have 'Field 1' coming in from Excel that has multiple lines/paragraphs within a cell.

I'm using this workbook as the source for my Mail Merge and with that merge, want to take these sorts of fields within one line items and have them separate out into individual cells.

So with the Mail Merge, I want to take Field 1 and splice the multiple paragraphs coming from this one line item in this one field, and splice it into multiple cells within a table of the word document.

I'm guessing a rule might work. I know that using a list works to separate out the paragraphs, but I need to do the same within a table...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

New Window in WORD via VBA

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:41 AM PST

This is an issue I am having with a WORD macro.

I am using a WORD document with a VBA macro to process a series of downloaded IBM MainFrame print-image reports into WORD documents.

I can do each one manually, and I can run the macro if I invoke it from within the document I want to apply the changese to.

What I am having a problem with is getting the VBA macro to acknowledge when I open another file (in this case a .txt file) that there is more than one file open, so that I can apply the changes to the newly opened file, not the file containing the macro.

This code opens the appropriate file, but the focus does not shift from the file running the macro.  I have tried putting in code to select both the window name/caption and the window number, but since VBA says that WORD only has 1 window open I get an error message that I am out of range or invalid name.

    FName = Dir(FDir & "\TextFiles\*.txt")
'
    Do Until FName = ""
'
        Debug.Print "Open Windows BEFORE file Open: " & Windows.Count
'
        Documents.Open FileName:=FDir & "TextFiles\" & FName, _
        ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
        PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
        WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatText, _
        XMLTransform:="", Encoding:=1252
'
        Debug.Print "Open Windows AFTER file Open: " & Windows.Count
'
        Windows(Windows.Count).Activate

.

.

.

Any ideas are appreciated, and if somebody sees what boneheaded thing I am doing to cause this PLEASE point it out!

Thanks!

Email merge using Word, Excel and Outlook

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:09 AM PST

I would like to use Word 2013 Mail Merge to compose and send email messages in HTML format. I would be sending approx. 400 emails.  I would be using Excel and Outlook.   I have gone through all of the steps as presented by Wizzard .  It appears all steps leading to sending emails are correct.  The last step, sending the email merge, doesn't work.  No emails are sent in the test.  I need help.  I've spent way to much time trying to figure it out.  Any thoughts?

Trouble inserting symbols

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 08:08 AM PST

After six months of problem-free work with Word 2013 I suddenly find I am unable to Insert symbols from the "More Symbols" option; when I click the box to Insert the symbol or to Cancel, nothing happens. Can a virus cause this? I've been having other problems with non-response from the computer today, even in trying to use my browser.

Word not opening docx files from Dropbox on iPad

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 02:56 AM PST

Hi,

i have Word on iPad and have linked it with my Dropbox so I can save files I create on my iPad to there and edit/view files in my Dropbox. However, when I try to open word files from my Dropbox (all .docx created on a windows laptop), it begins to download the file and then comes up with 2 error messages. 

The first one says: sorry, we can't open ."

and then the second says: a file error has occurred 

I seem to be able to open .doc files and files created on my iPad, but not .docx files from my laptop.

Cannot Activate on Word for iPhone

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 12:41 AM PST

This is perhaps the most annoying error I've encountered (pretty much mostly because of the fact it involves my money), and I can't even understand why I'm getting it, nor how I can fix it.

I decided it'd be a great idea to purchase an Office 365 subscription via iTunes. Once I bought it, it popped up with this error message:

"Sorry, your purchase was successful but we couldn't activate. To try again, please open an Office file, tap Activate > Buy Office 365 > Restore Previous Purchase."

I've scoured the Internet for solutions, but pretty much all of them seem to be performed on an iPad. I have an iPhone. They're two very different devices, and everything I've seen that supposedly works for the iPad isn't even doable (or just doesn't work) with the iPhone. The directions to try again don't even make sense: there is no activate button. I'm a bit infuriated; essentially, I'm being told "hey, you paid for it, but we're not going to honor your payment because of some weird programming error! 8D" The boxes aren't updated for the proper devices, this mystical activate button doesn't exist, I've done everything from reinstalling Word to resetting Word and logging out of everything, and nothing fixed it. The purchase did indeed go through (as Apple sent me a receipt), so you guys are causing the trouble.

I'm honestly a bit disappointed. Usually I find Microsoft products work fairly well (even if it's something not everyone likes, such as the Win 8 UI.) This time, it seems like you guys can't even properly process a payment, nor keep information correct or at least consistent among multiple devices. Please fix this issue. I'm beginning to regret my purchase.

Word 2013 Xml Mapping Pane questions

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 11:01 PM PST

Hello All,

I am using Xml Mapping Pane feature with Word 2013 to map custom xml to the word document. 

Questions: 

1. I do not see any option to edit existing elements in the mapped xml in the designer after mapping custom xml?

2. There is no option to delete added custom xml in the designer.

3. Also there is no option given to add new elements to the mapped custom xml.

I request to Microsoft developer team to look these obvious missing features. I have used Word Content Control Toolkit but that does not work/support Word 2013. 

Please take this forward to Microsoft, so we can see these missing features in upcoming release or patch. Do you have any suggestion or help?

Best Regards,

Vijay

Change of color of fonts, word spacing, paragraphing when a text is copied from Word 07 to a Website. WHY ?

Must Configure MS office each time I open a WORD file.

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 08:33 PM PST

Whenever I try to open a WORD or EXCEL file a window opens and says that MS Office Professional 2007 is being configured.   This can take up to a 30 to 60 seconds!

I have tried to 'CHANGE'  and then 'REPAIR'  MSO Pro 2007 with no effect,

and then to 

'ADD & REMOVE FEATURES' with 'RUN ALL FROM MY COMPUTER' , for all its applications, also with no effect.

Applications like PUBLISHER and POWER POINT open instantly.

Where should I start trouble shooting this nuisance?

MS Office 2013 Word only displaying partial saved document

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 07:01 PM PST

I purchased the Surface Pro 3 and MS Office Student Edition for my wife prior to her starting college and she has been using it to write papers and search the web for class projects.  She has written several papers in Word, saved them to her My Documents but when she opens them only partial documents are displayed.  I asked her to open several different saved files and they are all only showing partially saved works.  When I asked how she saved them to the computer she said she "saved as" and then saved them in the appropriate class folder she had created.  When she clicks print preview the entire document is there but they are incomplete works so she needs them to open properly.

Can someone please advise what she can do to view the entire document?

Thank you,

Formatting changes when I press Enter

Split from this thread.

I'm having issues with Word 7 on my Windows 8.1 laptop.  While typing a word doc, I finish a sentence and hit enter to start a new paragraph and it changes the font, changes to italics from non italics, and centered text from align left (default).  I then change it back to the way I had it-Times Roman 12 pt., non-italics, and left align and continue typing.  Later on, it will do the same thing.  This is very frustrating.  Anyone have an answer to this problem?  Do I need to upgrade to Office 2013?  Will that solve the issue. 

MIcrosoft Office documents not opening properly

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 02:26 PM PST

I am experiencing difficulty opening all types of Microsoft Office documents including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.  I have recently purchased Microsoft Office 365 with the purchase of a new Dell Inspiron 7000 series.  It is operating on MS 8.1.  When I first purchased this laptop and software I was able to open all Office documents with no problems.  I then began having difficulties opening all documents that were uploaded on my colleges website, I am now having difficulty opening documents that have been emailed to me as well through GMAIL.  I have had to open a blank document with the program that I am trying to use in order to open any attached documents.  It is becoming rather annoying to have to do this and would like to know what I can do to make it so I can just open attached documents properly. 

How to set up a date Macro in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 02:24 PM PST

Hello,

I am in charge of setting up a template document that has a date of final review date in it.

This date needs to occur around 25 times throughout the document for 60 different entities. 

How can I set it up so that I enter the date in once and through out the document the date auto updates to the new date I set so if the date of final review changes it is very easy to update the date.

Thanks in advance.

Lost Office installation after upgrade

I upgraded and lost everything as well. Fortunately I have the Product Key but the system says "If you've already activated Office, sign out and then sign in with the Microsoft account you used to activate Office."

It sounds like the email/ account has the product key so I can't install again. How do I move forward from here to get the install back?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate you getting on the forum to do this.

Breaking links on images in Word 2010 (not fields)

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 10:49 AM PST

I use Xpert Docs to create a word document from our Quote system and it will insert images of parts, etc...  When using the Alt-F9 it does change anything related to the image itself.  The process is I download it in the browser, open it I can see the images.  Then if I save it on my desktop or anywhere else it loses the linked images.  My solution was to try to create a macro to auto check the box of include image in document and then break the image link.  However all my attempts of usin VBA from prior searches focus on fields versus the image.  Can you provide assistance?  I do notice some issues where I can't physcially see the link/hyperlink itself -- when I check include images in document and NOT break the link only some of the images retain.

Language settings in Word 2013

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 08:39 AM PST

Hi,

I am editing a document that seems to have small portions set to Hebrew. When I add a comment, my comments are written backwards. I have been through the language options (set proofing language & language preferences) in the Review tab, but while all are set to English UK, the comments are still being written backwards and Word is still saying there is hidden Hebrew in the document. In Word 2007 I had a 'language' set of options at the bottom of the page (next to page numbers and word numbers) but it isn't being displayed in Office 2013. I right clicked on the blue toolbar to 'add' it, but it is already ticked and I can't work out how to get this to display.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can solve this and convert the entire document back to English UK and remove all of the Hebrew sections?

Thank you

Not able to download templates with Office 2013 Standard (not 365)

We have another location using a much newer Watchguard Series 5 545 that does not have this issue.

If anyone has any information, please let me know.

Ref Field not updating correctly

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 07:43 AM PST

The problem only happens with the latest version of Word (2013).

I have created a Ref field which specifies a placeholder for a MAC address.

This is formatted with Times New Roman / 12pt.

I have referenced it several times in the document and have "preserve formatting during updates" checked.

The target field has following formatting: Courier New / 10pt.

When I fill the field with the MAC address and update the field only the first two characters are getting the correct formatting (Courier New / 10pt), the rest, after the first colon, is with the wrong (Times New Roman / 12pt) formatting.

Somehow the colon is messing with the formatting, this did not happen in an older version of Word where it just worked as expected.

Is there any workaround / fix for this annoying behavior?

2010 Microsoft word table calculations using formulas with form fields not working

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 06:55 AM PST

im barely an intermediate user so be gentle. 

i have a form that is 2 pages long with several tables. two of the tables (one on each page) have columns with form fields that are formatted to display dollar values. each of the columns has a sub total. there are 20 form fields to calculate on page 1 and 30 on page 2. the 20 on page one are on two different columns the 30 on page 2 are one single column. the sub totals on each page are calculated fine using the formulas below. However, the grand total is calculating the sub total from page 1 the sub total from page two and the other rows from page one and two as well using the formula below. so instead of the grand total being 4 its calculating 8 instead. I have tried several different ways of doing this but no matter what i do the grand total keeps calculating text2, text3, text4, text5, text6, and text7 even though im only telling it to calculate text4 and text7. what am i doing wrong?

please keep in mind that the example below is just that. obviously the bookmark and formula are not displayed on the table i just wanted to show you how the table and formulas were set up. However, i can email an example of the form if needed. thanks.

Page 1           Table               bookmark                        formula                 other form field formatting

$8 Grand Total text1 current formula: =text4+text7 calculation, unlimited, $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00), calculate on exit


$1                   row C      text2 number, unlimited, $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00), calculate on exit, fill-in enabled
$1                    row F text3 number, unlimited, $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00), calculate on exit, fill-in enabled

Mail merge problem using DDE

I am trying to mail merge a letter in Word 2013 with Excel 2013 and need to merge value figures to 2 decimal places.  When I use mail merge normally I get some figures coming across with 10 or more decimal places.  I then tried with the DDE interface and after linking the files the preview worked fine to 2 decimal places.  I then saved the Word file , closed the file and reopened it.  The Word file would not open with the error "Cannot link to the Excel file"  What might I be doing wrong?

Spellcheck in Word 2013 Protected Documents Without Macro

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 02:17 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if there's a way to enable spellcheck in a protected document with form fields that I've created.

All the information I've found so far for doing this has involved the use of macros. I'm currently working with people with limited to no computer knowledge (they're barely able to use regular spellcheck) and using a macro just isn't suitable for them.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated :)

Issue with Mail Merge from Access File - When preview the fields disappear!

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 08:05 PM PST

Hi,

I'm having an issue with a mail merge from an Access file.  After I attach the recipients from a Query in my Access file all the fields come up in the 'Insert Merge Field' drop-down menu.  However when I open the 'Edit Recipient List' dialogue box it says that my Access file is attached but my list comes up as blank.  Therefore it appears to be reading the Fields, but not the data in those Fields.  When I insert my Fields into my Word document I can do so, but when I preview the result the space is just blank.

I've tried deleting and recreating my relationship in Access and have also checked my criteria to exactly meet my data.  I've also deleted the Query and run a new one to no success.  I'm not sure what else to try or what could be causing the problem!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Word 2013 crashes when opening "Find"

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 06:13 PM PST

Hi,

After installing updates released on 11/11/2014 for office professional plus 2013 (including word 2013), Word crashes every time I wanna find something by either clicking on "Find" button or pressing "Ctrl + F". However, Advanced Find and Replace works well, which means that I can switch to the "Find" tab in the dialog. I guess that Word just cannot open the Navigation Pane including Headings / Pages / Results, which is not convenient for me to use.

It may be worth mentioning that I was writing some stuff in Word when it was actually being updated. When everything was updated, Windows prompted to restart and I saved everything and restarted my machine. Then I came across the problem. I tried to uninstall several updates specifically for Word (i.e., KB2899500 and KB2878319, but somehow there are 4 exactly same KB2899500 in my installed updates list), but doing so couldn't fix my problem.

I'm using a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine.

Thanks in advance for any possible solution for this.

Incorrect language for Help

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 05:33 PM PST

I installed two language versions of Office 2013--English and German--on my computer. This works great. Word detects the language of my Word documents, displays the language name at bottom of screen, and edits in the correct language. However, the help screens display in German , regardless the language of my document, no matter what I try.

I have the default input language and the editing language set to English. I also set the Display and Help languages to English only. I restarted the computer. I then opened an English document. However, the Help is still displayed in German. I can get the help back to English only by uninstalling the German version of Office.

Can anyone advise me how to get the Help to display in English?

Thank you....Richard

Assign a hot key to Full Screen Reading

Posted: 11 Nov 2014 04:38 PM PST

I have Office 2007 on a computer using Windows 7 SP1.  I go from Print Layout to Full Screen Reading several times in each document I work on.  Is there any way to assign a hot key to the Full Screen Reading so I can just use that to enter and then Esc to go back to Print Layout?  I did go into Word Options, Customize, and then Keyboard shortcuts: Customize but can't find Full Screen Reading anywhere in there.

Error 1935

Posted: 03 Dec 2007 08:26 PM PST

Thanx for quick answer. Actually I purchased this MS Office Professional Plus
2007 from University located computer shop. It was sold to me as a student
copy. The vendor has made me understand that if I encounter any installation
difficulties, they will be handled by contacting the original software
manufacturer and NOT the vedor.

Again, as I wrote earlier, I installed it in this very computer running
Windows Vista Home Premium and have used it for almost 4 months. As the
computer became slow, I reinstalled the Windows Vista Home Premium and so
trying to reinstall MS Office Professional Plus 2007 too. Where, I am getting
the error that I mentioned earlier.

Please tell me something else to solve this problem

problems when converting office 2007

Posted: 30 Nov 2007 06:34 PM PST

The key you got with your computer is for the trial version. To convert to the full version, you need to purchase a retail key. However, save yourself some grief and purchase the suite that you want from Amazon.com - free shipping and usually a lot cheaper than buying from Microsoft.

Office 2007 Home and Student: does KB918792 work?

Posted: 30 Nov 2007 04:30 AM PST

Hi J.W.

Hmmm. Yes, it does seem to work for some but not others (i.e. it does work for me to use the 'Send to Mail Recipient' button) so I
suspect there's another application or an Add-in that might be interfering.

Q1. Is there an older version of MS Office Outlook on this computer?

Q2: If you use Start=>Search to locate the Mapi.dll and Mapi32.dll files on your computer (two of the entries in the registry
change) what are the date and version number of each when you right click on each file and choose properties?

Q3: Can you use Office Button=>Send=>Send as Email to successfully send the open doent and is it using Outlook Express?

Q4: Have you run Office Diagnostics from Word (Alt, T, O, R)?

Q5: What version of Internet Explorer are you using
(complete version # from Alt, H, A)

Q6: Which of the previously mentioned registry entries were already in place and which did you have to add?

Q7: Are you logged in as Administrator?

Assuming that Outlook Express is set, in Outlook Express, as the default email handler and has access to the Internet through your
firewall here are a couple of things you might want to test.

First, restart the computer, then with Word not running, use start=>search and locate and recycle files found with the search string
of
~$*.*;*.tmp


If you were able to send email as an attachment then
try Word 2007 Email Test A.
============================
A1. Use Start=>Run and type in
Winword.exe /A
to start Word without access to any addins.

A2. Create a new test doent (you can type
=rand(9,9) <enter key>
to enter sample text.

A3. Click on the 'Send to Mail Recipient' button on the QAT and send an email to yourself.

A4. If you get a 'Word needs to close' message, uncheck the box to have Word restart, but do click on the link for more details on
the error and copy the 'bucket' and other information into a reply to this message and do send in the Error.

===========
<<"J.W." <com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
Thanks, Bob. I went ahead and tried it, and unfortunately it does NOT work.
I am using Outlook Express 6.0.

Let me explain in detail what I'm trying to do (and what I always used to be
able to do in Office XP):

I open a Word or Excel doent. I click on the icon "Send to Mail
Recipient". This pops open a bar that contains "From" that is prepopulated
with my email address, "To" where I can use my Outlook Express address book
and add an address from it, and "CC" and "Subject" lines. I address the
message, click the button "Send a Copy", and it would EMBED, not attach, the
copy of the doent in an email message. I liked this method because it
doesn't require someone opening an attachment, and I used this method
extensively before I got this new computer and Office 2007 Home and Student.

Now when I do this process and click "Send a Copy", Word "encounters a
problem" and closes. I can't locate any KB entries on this issue, and it
drives me nuts because I really used that feature a lot.

Frankly, I wish I hadn't bought this thing now. I wish when Microsoft has
problems of this sort, they would FIX them. The KB entry 918792 listed as
the third option to "resolve" this problem of sending the copy as an
attachment. That is not a "fix", that is a "workaround". When you have a
product that has specific options, you reasonably expect to be able to use
those options, not use a "workaround"!

If anyone has any information on a resolution, I'd sure appreciate it.

Office 2003 & 2007

Posted: 29 Nov 2007 11:35 AM PST

I do believe that you need to install 2003 FIRST and then install 2007. So,
you should probably uninstall both, and install 2003 and then install 2007
and see if that helps.

OFFICE 2007 Deployment

Posted: 27 Nov 2007 09:29 AM PST

That's the problem.

MS has dynamically changed deployment. The MSP does not work like the old
MST files. So the concept of choosing you MSI in your GPO and then your
transform doesn't work. To add insult to injury the only time you MSP file
is used is if setup is run from the setup.exe file in the root of the
distribution. This makes it unnecessarily more complicated to deploy using
GPOs.

The kludge provided by good old MS is to add a Startup Script to you GPO
witch checks for the existence of Office 2K7 on the workstation and if it
doesn't exist it launched the setup.exe.

Option tow is to edit the Custom.xml file located in the distrobution
folders but this allows for much less customization than MSP provides.

Option three is to purchase a copy of SMS server and the necessary hardware
to run it on, spend the time to learn it, deploy it all so you can deploy
office 2007 using the MSP custom file. Something that used to take just a
few minutes to setup now takes hours and/or money.

So there you have it. I'm sure you just as mystified as I was. .

You can find all the doentation you need here.
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/264e7da6-b7a8-4ada-b2ac-90eb5266b0c01033.mspx?mfr=true

There's a "book" on deployment with GPOs that explains to some degree
editing the XML file and provides the sample script.

Do you actually need PNP (assuming Plug & Play) for any devices?
Sometimes if it's in use it might cause odd behavior like you're

Plug & Play, but it also works fine without it even in-kernel.

Problems with udev

Posted: 09 Jan 2008 10:46 AM PST


Here is a summary of my final results in trying to make /dev/cdrom
always point to /dev/hdc.

It looks like the only thing that will work for me is to change
the lines in:

/etc/udev/rules.d/75-optical-devices.rules

from:

ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-ide-1:1",
SYMLINK +="cdrom"

to

ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.1-ide-0:0",
SYMLINK +="cdrom"

So I recommend setting the link first in /dev/

%rm /dev/cdrom
%ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

and then making the change above.

Everything else I did as mentioned in the previous posts resulted in
it being
occasionally overwritten by udev on the next boot up to /dev/hdd.

I still don't understand the behavior of udev or what the numbers
above mean,
but everything seems to work, so ...

Anyway, thanks for all who replied so that I could solve this problem.
