Microsoft Word - rotation of a table

Microsoft Word - rotation of a table

rotation of a table

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:49 PM PST

I've created a landscape table in Word but, as there are 43 tiny little columns, I need to rotate the table so I can insert column headings vertically.  I've tried looking for a handle to grab, but there isn't one.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.

MS Office Word 2010 Normal.dotm and Folder Redirection Issue

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:26 PM PST

Hello,

I currently work in second line support, and was wondering if any of you could help me with an issue we are having at the moment, relating to MS Office 2010 applications, in particular MS Word, running on Windows 7.

We have laptop users on a Windows 2008 domain, that have folder redirection setup on some of their folders such as 'My Docs', 'Desktop', 'Favourites', etc., but not the AppData folder, all are redirected to a usershare on a mapped 'R' drive. This is a useful setup, which reduces logon time and is convenient when users logon to different PCs in the organisation, for quick setup of their profile etc. Offline files have been disabled by our server team, due to security concerns and previous 'issues' where we have ended up with users losing data. 

Anyway, the problem is that Word will work fine and open up OK while connected to the network, but as soon as users are disconnected, when using their laptops at home, for example, to try to work on saved office documents, they receive the message below :-

Word will open up, but when they try to save the document they have been working on, they get the following message and Word hangs for ages :-

I have done a bit of research and found this link to a similar issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2816253 it looks like it has something to do with Word looking for the 'Desktop' folder under the user's profile, when it is initialising (!?) If this can't be found, which it wouldn't be if the usershare ('R' drive) was not available when offline, and a temporary userprofile is being used, then this message is displayed - Strangely enough, it looks like it has nothing to do with the location of the Normal.dotm file, or memory resource issues...

Would any of you know if there is a way of stopping Word looking for the 'Desktop' folder when it is initialising, to stop this error? Or have any of you had a similar issue that you managed to resolve differently? When we used to enable Offline Folders, we didn't have this issue as, obviously, a cached 'R' drive was available to the user's when they were offline, which Word was able to use as a reference.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Many thanks.

Doc created in Word 2013 look like it's open in compatability mode on Word 2010 (And there is a mac in there somewhere...)

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:12 PM PST

Here's what's happening.

1. Doc created on Word for Mac

2. Open doc on Word 2013 - it looks fine (this machine is running Windows 8.1)

3. Open doc on Word 2010 - formatting is way off (this machine is running Windows 7)

If I open the doc in Word 2013 and then save it as a .DOC file, it ends up looked exactly like it does when opened in Word 2010.

I have confirmed that the file extension is .DOCX.

I have also created a document in Word 2013 (on the Windows 8.1 machine), using the .docx format, and then open it in Word 2010 -- it looked fine.

This document has a ton of tables and text boxes in it.

Any help is much appreciated!

IF Then Do Nothing

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:10 PM PST

Want to perform a mail merge that prints the company name only when the default address is business. Almost there but having trouble figuring out how to write an if then statement that yields do nothing if not business. What should go where the ? is placed in my code below? (I already tried using " " but then it leaves a blank line in my address block.) Thank you

Picture Styles is greyed out (not available)

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 01:58 PM PST

I have a document in which I inserted two different pictures (JPG photos).  With one of them I can work with Picture Styles, but the other does not offer me this option.. when I right click on the image, the picture Style icon is greyed out (not selectable.)

Another post suggested opening the image in Paint and re-saving it - I did this, and it made no difference.

I also tried putting the images into a new blank document, and got the same result with this one photo.  In the attached image, you can see the Style option is not available.

What can cause the styles not to work with an image, and how can I fix it?

Word 2010 - Link only retrieving first page

Styles task pane question

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 01:48 PM PST

When formatting a document using styles, in this case Heading 1, I notice in the Style Quick Gallery Heading 1 has a dark border around it letting me know that Heading 1 is in use in that paragraph.  However, I generally prefer to use my Style Task Pane because I have a better indication of how it's set up.  Sometimes, not always (and I hate that), when I've formatted a paragraph with Heading 1 the style in use is not indicated by a dark border in the Task Pane.

Any ideas?

What should the template include?

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 11:18 AM PST

Hello,

I am going to make my own personal business on creating templates; please can you tell me what I should be including on a template? I bought a word template and I find that looks quite professional. The templates include example text and also using the featured font's style, colours, and so on. But when I deleted the text content, it went back to the MS office default blank template.

Was it a "professional templates" which I have shown above?  

To build a template for my customers, I do not provide the text content. For example, if customer asks me to build a template for his resume, I can only make it looks beautiful. Of course, In order to show the effect of the template, I would like to use some sample text such Heading, Title, Body Text and so on.

If I build a template for customers:

  • My Templates flag is "professional", so what the template should be including?
  • Do I need to create special Themes (colours, font styles, effects, table styles, etc.)?
  • I found some detail about Submission guidelines for templates; do I have to build the template in accordance with the requirements?
  • Anything else do I need to do?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Template.vsto Error Message - how to eliminate?

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 11:00 AM PST

I recently upgraded from Windows XP  to Windows 2007 (at work). With this came a move from Office 2007 to Office 2010.  When I open files sent to me by others (via email), I often get the following error message:

Installing Office customization

There was an error during installation.

Name:

From: file:///C:/path/filenameTemplate.vsto

Downloading file:///C:/path/filenameTemplate.vsto did not succeed.

I noticed that the orig. template for this file is in a location I don't have access to; the template is a .dotx. That location is totally different than the local path mentioned in the error message.

Could someone please explain the above error message and is there a way to stop it from occurring? Even though I can just close the error message, it's irritating to have the error pop-up every time I open the file. Plus I hate not understanding what is going on.

Thank you.

word 2013 & rulers

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 10:52 AM PST

How do I remove rulers from a document. I have a 3 page doc that has been created with lots of cut and paste. As a result there are several rulers imbedded in the document.

Linking tables from Excel to Word

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 07:58 AM PST

We recently updated from Office 2000 to Office 2010.  Existing files in Excel and Word have been converted to .xlsx and .docx formats.  We have a report document in Word that has linked tables from Excel inserted in it.  Since conversion, each time we update the link for new data, the size of the tables in the Word document change and enlarge as well as font appearance looks different.  This requires the Word document to be edited each time to resize the table info.  We did not have this problem with the old version.  What needs to be done so that the linked tables do not change in size when the link is updated?

Thanks!

Font Restriction in Word 2007 Document Templates

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 07:29 AM PST

I've created a set of templates for my coworkers to use in generating new and reformatting old documents.  I've used content controls to eliminate issues of spacing, date formatting, and keeping necessary sections.  The major thing I want to accomplish now, though, is to lock all text in the document to Arial 11.  I've used the "Restrict Formatting to Permitted Styles" option, but have run into the problem of it blocking direct formatting.  I've defined some custom styles and figured out that "keep text only" when pasting retains single-level bulleting/numbering, but haven't yet found a way to preserve nested lists.  These documents will be instruction sheets, so this is a major need.  Ideally, I'd like another way to restrict font to Arial 11 without using the "Restrict Formatting" option at all.  The end result would be the ability to paste old(and diversely formatted) documents into the template and have the font change be immediate and consistent.

How to email multiple documents, and make new local folders, MS Excel App on iPad 4 iOS 7.1.2

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:55 AM PST

OK, so very excited in the creation and release of the long awaited Microsoft Office apps, (especially since the $12 Quickoffice HD Pro app lost support). I quickly learned how to navigate and intergrate into my day to day life.

The Question: I find the need to send multiple documents via email and have found that I can only send 1 at a time, is there a trick I'm missing? Or maybe this is an option MS can add at a later update? With Quickoffice you could just tap and hold 1 documnet while you tap all the others you want would like to attach to an email. I attemped the old "more than 5 photos at a time restriction" cheat and copied from one and then pasted to another email, however when opened up on the other side the copy and pasted attachement was just a picture, not the actual document.

2nd Question: Is there a way, (or could Microsoft make one in a future update), to make new folders and save them locally on the iPad? I could be wrong, but I believe there is only an option to save onto OneDrive. I find the lag on opening excel spreadhseets annoying and can only imagine how bad it would be if there was low Cell Network coverage. I choose to only down load once, then save locally on the iPad. However it would be nice to organize Spreadsheets and Word documents into local folders.

Word - Heading Formatting / Hyperlinking

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 05:59 AM PST

Hi All!

I have created a large directory for our training department, however I have encountered a problem when it has come to hyperlinking within the document.

I believe you need to have 'Headings' to be able to choose a place to hyperlink to.

The problem i have, is when i format the chosen title to a 'Heading' it alters the format and the document misaligns.

Does anybody know a more simple way i can hyperlink within the document?

Or does anyone know a way i can format the titles to a 'Heading' without affecting the previous formatting?

Thank you all once again for your help.

Kind regards,

Alex.

Leaduser feedback - How Microsoft word can become even better!

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 04:14 AM PST

Hi Microsoft team

would like to share my experience with you in regards of using Word. Perhaps you can help already or maybe this will be an opportunity for you to innovate your service even more!

I am Swedish but study and English online program and there are several times I have to use Googles translation in order to find the words I am looking for. That is one issue I have. Number 2, as there are several English words that I have not seen before which I need to translate in to Swedish in order to understand the whole text.

For my first issue:

I would like to see a small square or something implemented in word so I do not have to close the window in order to get a word translated very quickly!

For my second issue:

I would like to create a list (very easily), a glossary where all words are saved so I can study the meaning of those words. Would be awesome if the glossary list always come up even if I open a new document. As of now I have a word document which I fill in words ( English) and find the translated word in Google which I then put in the word document.

Would it not be great if everything could be done in the word document?

Best regards

 Nick

PS. Uploading a document in onedrive and then opening it in word again, never is 100%, you need to work on it.

Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 06:30 PM PST

I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I  need to open a Word file on the other machine.

Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:

"Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.

I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.

They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.

I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.

The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.

What else can I try?

Thanks

Cannot Edit a Word Document

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 03:25 PM PST

I was editing a 6-page Word document on my MacBook Pro using Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.6.  When I reached page 4, I was no longer to edit the document.  In addition, I was unable to delete or add text on pages 1 through 3, which I had just edited.  I would appreciate any ideas or advice.

Delete characters

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 03:21 PM PST

1. I want to delete all instances of a particular character, for example spaces. If I do  Replace and put the character in the Find What box and put nothing in the  Replace With box, it just copies the character in Find What. I want to replace the found character with nothing, in other words, delete them. There must be a simple way.

2. Unless I'm wrong, restricting Replace With to only the current selection does not always work. I just had an instance where it started to do the replace on the entire extremely long document. Does anyone else see this?

3. Is there a worthwhile place in MS to send bug reports and suggestions? A few of my suggestions are, in my opinion, extremely important, and some of the  bugs are very annoying. (I regard Word as very capable but not really finished!)

Document Forms/Templates

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:43 AM PST

I work in a law office, and we frequently re-use documents from previous cases, but change names and case numbers to reflect the new information/client without having to completely remake the document with all the statutes.  Some documents are longer, and have multiple types of information that need to be updated.  To make this easier, I'd like to create a template or form of some sort where I can highlight or otherwise make obvious what information needs to be changed in each new situation, but make sure that the indications for editing don't appear when the document is printed.

Is there any way to do such a thing, aside from highlighting all the areas I need to change, and then turning off the highlighting when I edit?

Also, in some cases, one date needs to be entered in multiple places--is it possible to make the multiple places all change when an edit is made in one instance?

Thanks for any help!

Getting rid of a line

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:29 AM PST

Hi there

What worked for me was not any editing of footers and headers (thought it was that but none of the advice listed here worked for me).

What ended up being the problem was a 'footnote' that I had inserted and removed earlier. The text was gone but the line had remained.

There was a small superscript '1' after an abbreviation in a table above - I deleted the '1' and the line disappeared.

Hope this helps someone.

SAVE FEATURE HAS STOPPED WORKING IN 2010 MS HOME STUDENT PROGRAM (USING WIN 7)

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:07 AM PST

Can't "Save" or "Save As" in Office Student 2010 (particular problem is in Word): I am assisting my 80 year old Mom to fix her MS Student 2010 program (using Windows 7 laptop).  I have to read her step-by-step instructions by phone (she is out of state). I have already gone to the Programs and Features, chose "change" & then "repair" and still can't save a Word document.  Her CD/DVD drive is not working either (that's a whole new question), so we can't simply uninstall and reinstall the Office Student 2010 using the disc since the drive won't read/open the valid, licensed disc.  After I had her repair it, a couple of things are happening that I have never run into: when she clicks "Save" it says "Compatibility Mode" next to the file name, and the saved file goes nowhere.  If she tries to "Save As" it does not give her any options for the location to save it in (no drop down location/window or a side panel to choose "Desktop, Documents, etc." - it appears as though her Windows navigation pane has disappeared as well, so she can't simply "Save As" to the "Desktop."  So I just had her use whatever it was defaulting to with the File Name "Test 1", then did a "Search" for "Test 1" and it is nowhere.  Obviously it is not actually "saving" the file anywhere.  I am hoping the fix will be as simple as a "check box" in one of the settings, but I don't know where her "Options" tabs in the 2010 to check either the "Save" tab, "Compatibility" tab or "General" tab, so she can read off what is checked or unchecked in each tab so I can see if there is one or two boxes that need to be checked or unchecked.  Does anyone know what the next step(s) would be to fix her Office program or maybe wipe all her settings out?  She does not know how to use any of its other features OTHER THAN JUST SIMPLY SAVING A FILE - so I could care less if all the settings go back to its factory default.  If I can get it to just "Save" a file, that will be a HUGE help - we don't care about anything else at this point.

Other question(s):  is there a link that I can have her use to troubleshoot and fix (or check for updates) for "compatibility" issues in the program itself?  Last resort: Where is the factory default setting?

NOTE: I have also tried to update and/or install drivers as well (from the manufacturer's website), with no success.  Anyone care to comment?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Pages in the wrong order when creating a mailmerge

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 07:59 AM PST

Afternoon all,

Just looking for a bit of help.

At work I have to use program (based on Access) to create street numbering certificates. I would enter all the details into this program and then use our mail merge template in Word 2010 to create the certificates. Each address which I enter into the database would have two pages in the merge.

The problem I've got is that when I carry out the merge the letters are all mixed up - for example I would end up with the two pages for plot 4 at the beginning of the document and two for Plot 1 at the end and so on..  It wasn't too bad when we used to print them as they could be sorted before they were sent out, however as they are now e-mailed as PDF's its getting a pain copying and moving all the pages, especially when sometimes there can be 50+ plots.

Any advice would be great.

Thank

Dave

Disable "Save"

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 06:00 AM PST

I have created a form for people to fill out daily.  I am trying to get them to use "Save As" to keep the original blank, but that doesn't always work.  Is there anyway I can get the "Save" button, Ctrl+S, etc. to take them directly to the "Save As" screen?  If not, is there a way I can get it to give me back an error and not allow the "Save" feature without effecting "Save As."  We run Office 2013 and 2010, not sure if that makes a huge difference.  Also, I have tried using Macros, but haven't quite figured it out yet.  I hope this makes sense, thanks for any feedback.

Word Document Opens Problematically

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 05:09 AM PST

Hi,

I work at a school district and recently one of the teachers has been having a very strange issue, its hard to describe so I'll try to be sequential, simple, and clear. She opens a word document from a fileshare that a student submitted. The word documents are comprised of background images, with overlaying text. The document opens, flashes whatever is on the document, and then the image disappears leaving a blank document. She can then move her cursor over a section of the image, and just a section of the image will reappear, rough and pixelated around the edges. At this point we have a piece of the image, but not the whole thing. She can continue moving her cursor, and piece by piece, the image reappears. This is specific to one of her machines, its a windows 7 64 bit, with office 2013. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Time Based Track Changes in MS Word 2013

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 04:55 AM PST

Hi Guys,

I have a lengthly legal agreement which I have been working through each day, for the past 10 days in track changes mode. Each time I make an edit, the relevant edit appears in track on the right hand side of the page, with the date stamp on the top of the track change as its supposed to. 

How do I view track changes in chronological order? For example, I would like to see all the changes that I made yesterday only in the document, without having to run my eyes over each and every track change to see which ones have yesterdays date stamp on it.

Many thanks and well done in advance to the person who cracks this!

Shapes option in the insert tab is shown as disabled in MS Word 2010 doc

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 11:36 PM PST

In one of my MS word 2010 doc, I see the shapes option in insert tab as disabled. As such I am not able to insert the shapes. Please can you help on what could be causing this option to be disabled in a particular doc.

I created this word doc using a word template (dotm) file, made the changes and saved the document as docx.

Also in a different/new doc on the same system I see the option as enabled.

Control Document, Print each copy with a different reference

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 07:33 PM PST

Hello

Probably been posted before but unless question is worded the same it's hard to find anyway:

I maintain some control documents at work everyone's copy has a unique number.  Is there a way to create an auto number so when I hit print (with 20+ copies)each copy will have it's own number rather than print, change number, print, change number, print, change number etc.  The numbering convention is not important just needs to be unique per employee.

I've mucked around with mail merge, but I'm not getting anywhere

Any help thanks

Printing address labels

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 06:07 PM PST

All I want to know is how to print mailing labels (with multiple addresses).  

I want to go to my contacts via C: Users ->Myname -> Contacts and print address labels.  Or use that information to do so.

I am running Windows 8.1.  I have tried "merging" and a host of other useless actions that ask me to select folders/files that I don't recognize.  I have searched "Help", installed Office 2013, and wasted 3 hours.  Office 2013 has labels, but to get 30 labels they need to have a cutesy picture on them.  I just want blank.  

Once upon a time (as late as Windows 7) I could open Word, select "Labels" and add my contacts.  It would take 5 minutes.   

So.  What EXACT program do I need to print off sheets of 30 labels on blank Avery 5160 labels with the contacts I have on my computer right now?  

Thank you for any help you can provide.  

Oh, and Microsoft?  When I have to select from *10* different programs that are pretty much the same thing, I honestly don't know if the "topic" is correct or not.

Word 2010 mail merge special request. (How to collect multiple entries with the same email address into one email?)

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 04:54 PM PST

Hello,

I am using a mail merge created by an earlier co-worker, with the purpose of sending out late/overdue notices to library patrons, using an excel file created by our catalog program as a source for recipients.  The issue I need to fix is to edit the mail merge in a way that will combine any library items that apply to one email address, to all be sent in a single message.    The current system sends multiple emails to the same person for each item they have overdue/lost.  Here is a copy of the mail merge below, please suggest any edits that may be able to accomplish this (or any scripts/addons that would help).

Thanks,

Paul

How do I get continuous page numbering that ignores section breaks

Posted: 02 Dec 2014 04:52 PM PST

I have a long document (over 200 pages) with over 360 continuous section breaks (most of these were inserted automatically when I inserted columns into the document.  How do I get continuous page numbering from beginning to end of the document without having to go into each of the sections.  ie can I tell word to ignore the sections when it comes to numbering?

FYI each section break is linked to the previous section so when I view the footer it  says 'same as previous' .  The first 17 pages (which are mostly section 1) work fine.  Then suddenly the numbering goes as follows : 2,  2,  2,  2,  3,  2  4,  5,  6,  2  ...etc - the majority of the remaining pages are numbered 2!

The document is made up of 5 documents that were cut and pasted into one, which may be part of the problem.  Is there a way to view and clear any gremlins lurking in the footer.  I have used the 'remove footer' icon to try clearing it but the same problem recurs when I try re-inserting the pg number.

Also as each page may have several continuous section breaks (columns) so 'Footer section 19'  is followed by (for instance 'Footer Section 21' -ie there is no' Footer Section 20').  Is the problem perhaps in the 'hidden' sections? 

Any suggestions welcome.

Adding 2nd Exchange

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 09:00 AM PST

The front end server will be proxied to the back end server after you
assigned the front end role on your first Exchagne server. Only MAPI
connections could reach the mailboxes on the front end server.

Do you think about setting up an temporay 3rd Exchange server for Front end
server? Tihs way you can move the mailboxes from your first exchange server
to 2nd one. Then you should be able to assign the OWA role to your first
exchange server upon completion of moving your mailboxes.

HELP!! New Profile created DELETED PST file while updating from Ex

Posted: 13 Feb 2008 10:44 PM PST

Richard,

Thanks for the link. One other thing I noticed today is that I found the
missing pst file. But it appeared to have a last modified date of one day
after the email was lost to this file from Exchange. When I opened the file
in Outlook, it had the Folder Tree intact...but the emails that I confirmed
were in that file are now gone. I suspect that Outlook tried to open it
after the fact and didnt succeed.

My question to you is...if the file was modified after the email was
deleted, are thgey any positive indications that this application will be
able to recover the previously modified version of that file??? Or should I
start preparing the legal papers now?!?

Thanks for the info!

No. The default settings do not drop messages from domains that do not have
SPF records. Messages are only dropped on an explicity FAIL response. As far
as performance goes, it's just another DNS lookup and generally nothing I
would be concerned about.
