| Page numbers not working in sections Posted: 11 Dec 2014 01:09 PM PST <Moved from Windows 7 > Programs> Hello, I have three sections in my Word document. Section 1 is the first two pages. Section 2 are pages 3 and 4 and Section 3 is pages 5-10. When I insert pages number i and ii on page 3 and 4 it also adds them to pages 1 and 2. When I delete them and add page number to page five (1) it doesn't add page numbers 2-5, but it adds i to Section 1 page 1. I have tried deleting the section breaks and reinserting, but it doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Candace |
| Word 2013 and ActiveX checkbox controls- weird behavior Posted: 11 Dec 2014 01:06 PM PST Saw this posted before but no resolution given (I saw a resolution involving document protection but trying that just broke stuff worse), feel free to point me to an existing solution if there is one. I created a document in Word 2010. It is basically a guided process document: a few pages of text, then the ActiveX checkboxes which call some VB script that toggles blocks of text later in the document, between being formatted as hidden or not. Short story, I want the document to guide users through a set of tasks, with different tasks being relevant or not relevant depending on the input in those checkboxes. Word 2010: works great, saves us acres of time every time we need to do this task! Word 2013: initially works great but after selecting some of the checkboxes then scrolling through the document and returning to the checkboxes, they no longer work. The dotted-box outline of the checkbox object is "normal" (faint dotted line) when it's working, and looks like the developer mode boundary when it is not working (darker dotted line with boxes on the corners). If you close the document (with or without saving) OR toggle into developer mode then back out, the checkboxes work again for a while but break again. The code behind the checkbox is very basic: Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
If CheckBox1.Value = False Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BK_text1").Range.Font.Hidden = True
Else
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Bk_text1").Range.Font.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub One routine per checkbox and each calling a different bookmark. I understand from other posts that the ActiveX controls will be deprecated at some point in the future but they are not yet deprecated (that I know of) as I can still create new ones, so I would really like to make this work. I can always recreate the document using a different control but it's about 90 pages long, very complex, lots of boxes and bookmarks--- not a small undertaking and I need to be able to use this doc in 2010 and 2013 in the mean time. Also I know it is not my instance of Word because I've used multiple machines to test, and also it is not the doc itself because I created a brand new one which is much shorter and exhibits the same behavior. The only thing copied from old doc to new is the snip of code above. Any takers? |
| Table of Contents and citations Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:37 PM PST In legal work we often create a Table of Authorities (TOA) to list all of our cases and statutes cited within the document. Obviously this is known because of the category listing within the Cite function. Sometimes we need to list those cases, in alphabetical order as they appear in the TOA within the Table of Contents (TOC), instead of providing a TOA. I am killing myself trying to figure out how to get those cites to incorporate within the TOC where they belong without doing the old cut and paste. I would like for the page numbers to update as my document is worked on. Is there anyway to make this happen? Right now I have the TOA at the end of the document and I am cutting and pasting when changes are made but I feel certain that there is a way to make this work. I've been at this for almost two days now and although Cut and Paste is the easier softer method, my employer really wants me to get this to work. |
| End notes Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:31 PM PST Hi Word-workers, End notes, collected at the end of the doc and numbered by section: great. Would it be possible to enter some 'caption' in between the end notes by section, e.g. a chapter title. I already found that entering '<Enter>Chapter I' in the end note will pop up in the tool tip of the corresponding number in the text. Stands to (some) reason. Copied text and pasted with Paste Special - Enhanced metafile will not pop up. But this picture is still part of the end note so ... don't touch the notes ;-). Can anyone think of a better (final) approach? |
| Word 2007- Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:11 PM PST Hi, I use the same word 2007 document repeatedly, but customize it for different individuals. Is there a way to enter a name, a date, an address, a price once and have the document auto fill it in the correct locations? |
| Macros and shorcut keys Posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:21 AM PST I have alot of macro's that I need to put in.

| Lines After Each Hard Return in Print Layout Mode in Word 2013 Posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:07 AM PST Both at home and at work I have Office 2013. On my work computer, below every hard return there is a non-solid line from margin to margin. Visually I find this very annoying. However, on my home computer these lines do not appear, so there must be a way to turn them off. I have compared the options settings on both computers and have not been able to discover how to do so. So my question is, how can I permanently turn off these very annoying and distracting lines? And, for future reference, what is that feature called? Thanks for your help. Regards, David |

| My Microsoft app won't show my documents. Posted: 11 Dec 2014 09:15 AM PST Hello,
I have been using the Microsoft app since earlier the year, but over the past week, the app won't refresh my documents. I made a new document and saved it to my Onedrive file, but it didn't appear when I tried to refresh it. The app sent me a message saying "Folder Contents have Changed. Your view will be refreshed" but then it doesn't refresh. I logged into my online OneDrive account to see if it saved and it was. So, I deleted the app and then downloaded it again but now none of my files will show. The only thing I get is a message telling me they will show and then they don't. Could you help me fix it please? Thank you.

| Where is the close/exit on a Word document? Posted: 11 Dec 2014 07:39 AM PST Hi there, When I edit a Word document online I don't see a way to close the document (I know it's saving automatically).

| Named Styles with Associated Icon Posted: 11 Dec 2014 07:33 AM PST I received a document with Customized Named Styles, ie My Heading One that have the Paragraph or character icon associated with them. Then there are other Customized named styles that are "Based on" these but do not have any associated icon. Is this because the "Named" styles was updated with direct formatting and it comes along with the document? Thanks, |
| Yellow triangle with exclamation point by my name - what does it really mean? Posted: 11 Dec 2014 07:26 AM PST I have a fairly new laptop, running Windows 8.1 and i have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 installed and activated. When I open Microsoft Word, I see this warning triangle by my name. When I click on it, i see "There are problems with your account. Please sign in again." I don't understand what i need to sign in to. I'm not using any cloud services. I have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 physically installed on my laptop. I would think that all i need to do is open Microsoft Word and start typing. When I click on the little "sign in" link in the yellow box, nothing happens. Is there really some compelling reason to make all of this so difficult?

| Word/Excel apps on iPhones Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:43 AM PST I have installed the individual apps on my iPhone. We are a corporate o365 subscriber. Every time I try to edit a doc on the phone, it prompts me to re-login in. I login successfully and it still says I need to login in order to edit the document. It is a never ending loop. Is there something that I can check to see why this is happening? Thanks, Jon |

| Card design in Word Posted: 11 Dec 2014 02:58 AM PST I'm designing a Christmas card. It's to be A4, folded in half, to make an A5 size. The photo will go at the bottom of the first side. The back will have a logo and some text. It will be upside down and take up the top half of the first page. The card is to be folded in half to make a sort of apex shape which can stand up. Inside there will be a greeting. My problem is with the text on the back. It will have to be upside down I suppose. What's the best way to do this? It seems that text boxes won't turn text upside down, only sideways. I think I'm right in saying a logo can be rotated any way so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks in advance. |

| Deleting empty rows in Word with VBA Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:13 AM PST Hello, I am using a UserForm to delete some rows in a table (rows are a bookmark). But unfortunately, it only deletes the content but not the empty cells. I tried having the entire table a bookmark also and wanted a code to search that entire table / bookmark for empty rows and delete them, after the first bookmark has been deleted. But that would still be a bookmark in a bookmark. What code can I use to ensure that all (completely!) empty rows are deleted in the document?
Thank you :) |
| Capability of MS Word Posted: 10 Dec 2014 11:05 PM PST Most of the computer user use MS word for their office work. I propose an up-gradation in this software as under. 1. The page opened in document is solely one sheet that continues to many pages and sections. I want a word software that may contain many chapters in one document as many sheets in MS Excel. This will help many chapters in one document without creating a lengthy document in a continue manner. 2. Secondly, the Table inserted in the document must have almost all functions as of MS Excel Cell. Some functions in table cell are already available but those are not sufficient. A table must have the capability to create a sub-table and to sum-up in a parent table. To create a graph capability must also present in document. 3. The new added Tabs like sheets in MS Excel must have capabilities to add Power point capabilities. This new and others additions will guide us to create a new software named as "Soft Page". |
| Insertion Of Label (ActiveX Control) Now Causes Warning To Appear - Why? Posted: 10 Dec 2014 10:34 PM PST 1. I am trying to insert a:- Label (ActiveX Control) - into my WORD document. I have been doing this successfully for a very long time (probably years) without any problems. 2. This is what I do to achieve the above:- Click in the place in the WORD document where I wish to insert the:- Label (ActiveX Control) - then:- Developer tab Controls group Hover the mouse over:- Legacy Tools - towards the middle lower right hand corner and click on the drop down arrow. I then click on:- Label (ActiveX Control) 3. A warning now appears:- The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object. I have never had the above warning prior to a few minutes before the time of this posting. I believe that the warning is now appearing as a result of automatic updates from Microsoft. How can I get back to the situation that I can insert a:- Label (ActiveX Control) - without this warning message:- The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object. -appearing. Thanks in advance for any replies. |

| Allow carriage returns in Plain Text Content Control Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:38 PM PST I have inserted a Plain Text Content Control into a document and set the Plain Text Properties to allow carriage returns (multiple paragraphs). The text in the main document is justified. However, when the user entering text into the text box executes a carriage return (Enter), the resulting effect is as if a line break (Shift+Enter) had been executed instead of a paragraph break (ie, a partial line is "justified" across the page). Is there a way to make the carriage return a "real" paragraph break? |
