| Upgrade to Word 2010 Without a disc. Posted: 24 Nov 2014 01:42 PM PST I won a free upgrade to Word 2010 from Microsoft a few years ago and was given the Security code to input once I downloaded the program from a link that was provided to me. In other words, I had no disc to install. I have since been given a computer that was my husbands as my old computer was destroyed. How can I upgrade the Word 2007 that is presently installed on it to the version of 2010 that I had used for years without a disc? |
| It s a dark and stormy night Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:39 PM PST Office Professional 97 on win7. Been working fine for years. All of a sudden clicking in the Word shortcut gets a response that Word is missing or has been moved. I think it was related to Avast virus detector. Avast reported a virus win32:evo-gen[SUSP] every time I tried to click on the Word shortcut. I think it's a FALSE POSITIVE. I ran AVG and it did not report a virus found when I tried to execute Word shortcut but I get the same message that the Word shortcut had been moved or is missing. . I uninstalled Avast changed to AVG and reinstalled Office Pro 97 from the cd. Now winword.exe is back where it belongs and I can run Word. PROBLEM: Now my Word icons on my desktop have no W (Word Icon) just a generic icon. Properties show the file is a Word doc. When I click on the generic icon Word opens the document and seems to work fine. How do I get my icons back so at a glance I know which icons are word docs? Thanks, John |
| How do I make "All Markup" the default in Word 2013? Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:09 PM PST Split from this thread. I want to open document that have mark-up with all markups visible upon opening, so that I don't have to enable editing and then go to show all mark-up. They open with simple markup only so you can't see the comment bubbles - only their existence, but not their contents. I want to open a Word document that has comment bubbles so all mark-up shows including the contents of the bubbles. Can you help? Becky |
| Need to remove editing feature in Word Starter 2010, that is surrounding the text area. Posted: 24 Nov 2014 11:17 AM PST I'm sorry I don't know the proper description for this function. I'm trying to cancel it so I can work with a document. This is present whenever I open a document. It is a line bordering the entire text areas. It looks like it moves and or re-sizes the text area. It has a tiny circle on each corner, and in the middle of each side. When I click anywhere around the enclosed area, it highlights the entire text area that it surrounds. And it won't allow for putting the cursor within the area, as to make changes, etc. I'm sorry for the bother, I'm sure it's a very elementary function; I just don't know the term, so searching for the correct help is fairly impossible. I'd appreciate anyone for their help. Thanks, kc |
| Draft view is the default view when opening Word Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:41 AM PST I have Office 365. When I open Word or a Word document it opens in draft view.

| word says file is locked by the user trying to open it, but its opened by another user Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:24 AM PST Person X has FOO.doc open. Person Y goes to open FOO.doc. Pop up on Person Y screen, "can not open file, already opened by person Y" Person X closes file.
Person Y opens file no problem. And this happens no matter who attempt to open if its already opened, it always says this ONE user is the person using it. Both systems fully up to date. Network share from Server 2008. All meta data cleared for doc. In short, no matter WHO has this file open or WHO tries to open it, it says person Y has it open when it is opened. There are naturally no issues when its closed anyone can open it and it does save meta editor names. I've also changed the owner in NTFS and this has no impact. This problem here is when its left open, the incorrect name shows up (the same name every time) so staff has no clue where to go to close the file. Yes, I've read many threads here and tried those that apply, none have resolved it. |
| Deleting many Styles quickly Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:08 AM PST I am working on modifying a document that I scanned using AABBYY Professional OCR scanning software and exported to Microsoft Word. I am not sure if it is just the result of that method of creating the original document or not, but there seem to be very many styles based on the base style Body Text. Examples: (body text (1), body text (2), body text (2)+10pt., body text (2) + times roman, body text (3), ... body text (31), etc., etc., etc. ) There could be a hundred different variations. I tried to make sure that these were not in use by using the Clear formatting option for the entire document, saving it, closing it, and reopening it. But the styles still remain in the styles list. I want to get rid of these and just have the basic default Word styles available in the styles list, but it seems that the only way to remove them is one at a time, confirming each deletion. This is laborious and annoying. Is there any way to clear and remove them all at once? Is there any way to reestablish a default template without them? |
| How change default privacy options - clear "remove personal information" box? Posted: 24 Nov 2014 07:58 AM PST I want to set the default option so that the "remove personal information" is NOT automatically checked for every new document. I do a lot of editing and need to show doc markup with author specified - so I don't want to have to find the (buried and impossible to find without online help) privacy settings and uncheck the "remove personal information" box every time I work on a new document. Is this possible?

| Corrupt .rtf file in Word 2010 Posted: 24 Nov 2014 04:04 AM PST Hello everyone,
Last night, my computer rebooted itself unexpectedly while I was accessing a Word document. I was constantly saving the document, so I expected that it would come back up when the computer rebooted.
Every time I try to open it in Word, it says that the file is corrupt and cannot be read.
I have tried the Open & Repair function. I have also tried the Extract Text from All Files function. When I did the latter, the document came up to about 1,000 pages worth of different codes.
When I open it in WordPad, the most recent things I saved did not come up. I am absolutely sure that I saved what I was working on.
Is there any way I can fix this corrupt file? It is a crucial part of an assignment. |

| Inserting Building Blocks using UserForm Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:11 AM PST Hello again, I have another question regarding another question I had earlier on. I got this code from Greg Maxey (thank you very much!): Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oBm As Bookmark
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oBm = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmTarget")
Set oRng = NormalTemplate.BuildingBlockTypes _
(wdTypeAutoText).Categories("General").BuildingBlocks(Me.ComboBox1.Value).Insert(oBm.Range)
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "bmTarget", oRng
Me.Hide
End Sub I wanted to have a userform with a single drop down (combobox), that asks the user to choose between "option1" and "option2". The bookmark in the document is the same, but the building block will either be "BBoption1" or "BBoption2", depending on what was chosen in the combobox. Wouldn't there need to be some part of the code representing that? So that one part puts the "BBoption1" in the document and one puts "BBoption2" in it? Thank you very much!!! |

| Mail Merge Does Not Work When Using HTML Posted: 23 Nov 2014 06:58 PM PST I am trying to create an email merge in Word 2013 (office 365). I can do it on other computers, just not this one.

| Office 2010 Disable COM Addin Posted: 23 Nov 2014 05:45 PM PST I have Office 2010 installed on a Vista computer. Sometimes when I have a Word document open and I start typing, Word will crash on me. Under the Active Application Add-ins, there is Instant Messaging Contacts add-in. I suspect this add-in could be causing my problems. If I go under MANAGE (COM Add-ins), nothing shows up under COM Add-ins. How do I delete this add-in? |
| Two more questions Posted: 23 Nov 2014 03:45 PM PST 1. In doing Find and Replace, the replaced text goes by fast, before I can read it. Is there a way to stop it until I say Go? 2. (Strange!) In certain Index entries I want to suppress the page number. Is this possible? I've looked at all the XE field codes. (I realize that I can edit them out in the Index after it's compiled.) |
| Word Template Posted: 23 Nov 2014 03:24 PM PST I have created word template. The first fill-able field is the "name" field. The 2nd field is a "date" field. Depending on how long or short the person's name is, the "date' field moves. How do I lock that down? |
| Customizing the Ribbon Posted: 23 Nov 2014 03:21 PM PST When adding a custom tab and then a group I added a command to the ribbon that executes one of my macros.

| How do I redefine a keyboard shortcut? Posted: 23 Nov 2014 03:14 PM PST Split from this thread. Good evening,
I would like to ask if there is the possibility to redefine this shortcut (Shift+ F5) in Word (2007)?
Cause I could not find the name asigned to this shortcut in my native language (in english, I guess, it's "Go Back" or descriptive: "Return to the last edit spot" (as I browsed the internet)). I' ve found (in Word) in Word Options -> customize -> all commands only a command, which I don't know if it corresponds to Go Back, but it has no icon assigned and what's more when I click "Shortcuts: Customize tab", there is no such command (among All commands). Therefrom I guess, this shortcut command is not customizable. But I know (from browsing internet) that there occures (by someone) -4 last edit spot, or -3 last edit spot. When I put this icon (which had no shortcut assigned) on the quick icon bar and tried, found out it's -4 last edit spot. When I try Shift+ F5, it cycles only in three last edits. Also found out there is either Shift+ F5 or Ctrl+Alt+ Z keystroke kombination assigned generally to Go Back. By someone, this works with Shift+ F5, by someone, with Ctrl+Alt+ Z (in different word versions, but also the same ones)... So I would like to ask if there is the possibility (to the first question), because I did not found the command to which this shortcut (Shift+ F5) is assigned in Word 2007. I woud like to redefine the shortcut, when it's possible with the least last edit spot, that means 3, to a more convenient, just the Ctrl+Alt+ Z case. So I would like to ask, if it's possible? Thank you for your answer. Regards, Jaro |
