| Inconsistent footnote formatting and coding Posted: 05 Jan 2015 02:50 PM PST Looked everywhere for an answer to this but my problem is somewhat difficult to explain without images, which limited my ability to search for an answer. I have a document (with many footnotes) that was compiled by copying and pasting sections from other documents (i.e. in an attempt to synthesize the work of multiple authors working on different sections of the same document). Occasionally throughout my document, the footnotes are inconsistently coded/formatted, such that they do not respond to automatic numbering (i.e. the footnote reference below the line differs from its reference above the line), and they cannot be mass-selected (i.e. they are not found via the "^02" code). Referring to the example below, can anyone tell me how to make footnotes 165 and 166 act and look like footnotes 163 and 164? Could I use a macro to insert / replace all footnotes to achieve consistent formatting and numbering? Thanks! Example of issue: Footnote 163 acts normally: Footnote 165 does not: (notice I am able to select each individual character. However, if I double-click on the "165" above the line, my cursor jumps to the correct location below the line). Automatic renumbering does not work: Also, the footnotes do not appear to be similarly coded: Any help would be fantastic! |
| How to change default SaveAs path when user selects SaveAs Posted: 05 Jan 2015 02:34 PM PST I have a VBA script that generates a report in Microsoft Word 2007 and saves it as a PDF. I can specify a path for the PDF without difficulty. However, if the user wishes to manually make changes in the report and resave it as a PDF, the SaveAs dialog's default path is the same as the template Word doc, not the PDF just saved. How do I specify a new default path in the event that the user selects SaveAs? Note that I do not want to automatically bring up the SaveAs dialog - I leave that to the user to decide. The only thing that I have found to work is to save the Word template in the PDF directory, but this is inelegant. Any other solutions? Thanks, |
| Decission to surpress a block of text or print the text Posted: 05 Jan 2015 01:28 PM PST I have a document that is printed daily. Within that document is an instruction set that only needs to be included in the document on the last day of the mounth. It is a rather large block of instructions that is currently being printed every day and it is just a waste of space. I know I could make a second document that contains the instruction set and then have the person select which document to print based on the day of the month but I was hoping to do this from within the existing document. 1) Can it be accomplished with either a macro or a VB routine? 2) Do I have to create 2 documents and then have to edit each document when the documents need to be updated?

| How do I change the colour of objects in a text box? - Word 365 Posted: 05 Jan 2015 12:00 PM PST Hi, I know how to change the background colour of the text box and how to change the text colour, but how do I change the colour of other things inside the built in text box. I'm trying to use the 'Austin quote' text box, but the lines are automatically blue and I want them to be purple. I've tried clicking all the fill icons I could find but none of them fill the right area and I cant select the lines. Thank you |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 11:52 AM PST I've been using Word for years as a writer, but I'm far from being a tech-savvy user. Over the past month, when I save a file in Word, I get two files showing up in the target file folder. One is the document I named and the other is the same document and name but with a $ in front of the name. I'm also getting files with designations like "WRL390" and so forth. So for every file I save, three files show up in my target folder. My folders are getting filled with all these files, making it hard for me to find the right ones at a glance. I didn't have this problem up to a month ago or so, and I can't figure out how to make it stop. Any help would be appreciated! |
| How to stop TOC heading being a numbered item Posted: 05 Jan 2015 11:16 AM PST Hi When I create a TOC for a word document (Word 2013), that has numbered headings, word automatically makes the TOC heading itself heading number 1. It then renumbers my other sections starting from 2. See imagebelow fro example: What I want is to suppress the number in the TOC heading and start the following section numbers from 1. Can't figure out how to do this and would really appreciate some help. Thanks |

| Interpreting indentation in Bulleted List when pasting plain text Posted: 05 Jan 2015 10:21 AM PST Hello, I have a Word document which comprises an empty bulleted list only (ie: there is a single black dot without any text adjacent to it). My goal is that if I copy a list of items from a plain text source, eg: Notepad, and paste this into the Word document (with the caret adjacent to the sole bullet point), the list will appear as a complete bulleted list with indentation where required. So if I copy the following list from Notepad: Item1 Item2 Item2.a <--- a Tab is inserted ahead of the text Item2.b <--- a Tab is inserted ahead of the text Item3 ...and paste it into the Word document... I want it to appear as follows where "Item2.a" and "Item2.b" are automatically indented:
But it actually appears as follows:
The raw, plain text list will actually be constructed in VB.NET. Is there an ASCII character or VB.NET constant that can be used in a plain text string which will be interpreted by Word to indent the bullet of specific items in the list (in a similar way that the vbNewLine constant after each item in the list is interpreted to create a new bullet)? Thank you. Jason. |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 09:01 AM PST Hello everyone!
I am using Word for a number of years for scientific writing and would like to use it further, but recently I started to have multiple problems, which I can't handle yet (see pictures below).
After making some preliminary investigation my guess is that the MathType function "Format Equations" might be the cause. However one can't eliminate other causative factors, so please read the details before sending me to MathType support. I am using Word 2010 32bit and MathType 6.9c. All starts after having done these actions: 1. Create a new DOCX file (or open an existing one) with various elements such as plain text, MathType elements, tables, pictures, footnotes, cross-references, comments, bookmarks, etc. 2. Do some formatting, insert and/or edit some objects, ..., do "Format Equations". 3. Do | Home | Save as | PDF | . This action results into "Word has encountered a problem" error.
"Open in Help Window" returns that there is not enough RAM or disk space, both of which is not the case. Changing PDF options does not make any effect. However what seems to play a role is the amount of MathType objects inserted in Word-file: the more of them, the more likely the error to occur. This error is reproducible on other machines too.
Splitting the document edited with "Format Equations" into subdocuments and making a new master document or using Word function "Insert text from File" results into the error "The file part_xx.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
When trying to merge information from subdocuments into one document using copy+paste, the error "To many documents are open" appears not allowing to open more than one file.
Applying the "Format Equations" function to some subdocuments after the master document has been made allows the latter to be opened, but results in the same "Word has accoutered a problem" error when trying to save as PDF. It is also worth here to mention, that the "Save as" window is displayed corrupted: some menu elements are missing, drop-down menu freeze when clicking on them, etc.
Converting edited DOCX files into DOC or RTF and going through the same steps as above results in the same error messages.
I would also like to include here some errors which I came across while playing around my problem (all errors start coming just recently and were never seen before)
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/unspecified-error-worddocumentxml-line2-column-0/21971fa0-df44-4ba6-ac42-7d4b5cd4174f did not help me.
Following actions did not help too: * using Office Repair tool * using "Open&Repair" in Word * reinstalling MathType * deleting literally everything (plain text, footnotes, comments, tables, pictures, cross-references) but MathType equations
It is hard to overestimate the massiveness of this problem for me, therefore I would be greatly thankful for any help on solving it. I already started to compare document.xml of the same Word-documents "before" and "after" corruption. I do see some changes in xml structure which look like to be done besides those made by myself, but I can't assess whether they can cause any problems or not. Before I go wrong way (i.e. start to learn open xml format), I've come here to ask for help and will gladly provide any further information required.
Thank everyone in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Herman |
| Word Macro that will change an image based on an entered value in a Word Doc Posted: 05 Jan 2015 08:35 AM PST Im trying to make a highly interactive Word form that will allow the user to enter a value like "Cat" that will then search through a database like Access for a list of details about a "Cat" like its shape, number or legs and color, then at a specific position it will display an image of a "Cat". I am currently working on a database that has this information so I can attempt this but I am stuck on creating a code for the word image. (the images being stored in an OLE field) I have tried using the picture content control but it only allows me to search in folders for an image (which would also work but it need to be able to alter the location the control is looking at). My biggest problem is finding how to change a picture in word without clicking it and replacing the file location manually, and everywhere I have searched have only been using this method or have been updating the image to its current version located at the same location. In short i need a macro/code that will allow user entry to change where an image frame looks for its picture either in a data base (preferred) or in a folder. Currently I am looking for any solution to this problem that will get me closer to making this interactive form. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| Page Number Formatting on Word Table of Contents Posted: 05 Jan 2015 08:20 AM PST I am currently working with a Word document where the requirement is for a 4 digit page number. The page number is split into 2 parts: the uppermost 2 digits are the section/chapter number within the document, and the lower 2 digits are the page number within the section/chapter. The digits are padded with leading 0s (zeros) to provide the full 4 digit page number. For example page 0502 would be page 2 within section/chapter 5. The small twist to this is that the section/chapter numbering starts at 0 (zero). Displaying the page number correctly in the footer of each page is not a problem. I am using { = \#00{SECTION } – 1}{PAGE \#00 }, and resetting the page number to 1 at the beginning of each document section. The difficulty I am having is with the Table of Contents. The requirement is to display 3 levels in the TOC with the 4 digit page number (as described above) for each entry. For example 5 PROCEDURE.................................................................................................... 0501 5.1 Requirements................................................................................................. 0502 5.2 Processes....................................................................................................... 0504 5.2.1 Initial Process.................................................................................................. 0504 5.2.2 Subsequent Process....................................................................................... 0512 5.3 Results........................................................................................................... 0534 etc Using Suzanne Barnhill's very helpful TOC Tips and Tricks page has nearly resolved everything, but I am having difficulty getting the page numbers to display correctly with the leading 0s (zeros). So far I have the following: 5 PROCEDURE...................................................................................................... 5-1 5.1 Requirements................................................................................................... 5-2 5.2 Processes......................................................................................................... 5-4 5.2.1 Initial Process.................................................................................................... 5-4 5.2.2 Subsequent Process........................................................................................ 5-12 5.3 Results............................................................................................................ 5-34 etc This is represented by the following { TOC \O "1-3" \H \Z \U \S CHAPTER }, where CHAPTER is a SEQ field hidden at the top of each section/chapter. I can remove the '-' character using the \d switch as described by Suzanne, but I have left it in for now until I can get the both parts of the page numbers displayed correctly. Can anybody assist me with this, please? Ideally I would like both parts of the page number automatically displayed using the equivalent of the \#00 picture formatting switch. |
| Unable to edit a document that has been protected in MS Word 2010 Posted: 05 Jan 2015 08:11 AM PST Hello. I am hoping that someone has run into this issue before and can help me out. I have a user who has Windows 7 Enterprise with MS Office 2010 Professional Plus. When she opens a protected document on her computer and attempts to edit any field except one drop down box it will not allow her to do so. You cannot click into any field. However, if she goes to another computer, brings up the file from the shared drive, she can access the file, and make changes, without any issue. I have ran a repair on MS Office. I have attempted to compare settings between the two computers, but I am not finding anything that stands out as the issue. When you click on Info from the file menu, both are set to unrestricted access. Any ideas? Thanks, Todd |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 07:46 AM PST Is there a way to decrease the size of the footer? There is no text in the footer, but it takes up about half the page. Under "Header and Footer Tools" then under "Position" I have tried to decrease the number next to "Footer from bottom," but that only decreases the space between the text in the footer and the end of the page. I have attached a screenshot of what the footer looks like. |
| Office 2013 save as dialog no longer shows folders Posted: 05 Jan 2015 07:34 AM PST Hello... All of my Office 2013 applications no longer show my folders for the Save As dialog.

| Blank calendar is missing from my Mircrosoft Word 2013 Posted: 05 Jan 2015 07:32 AM PST I purchased Microsoft Word 2013 last year because it had the blank calendar option that I needed for a fundraiser and for monthly projects that I do. I have used this feature for a year, now all of a sudden the blank calendar is no longer listed under the calendar templates. Microsoft support has been unable to help. Any suggestions as to where it could have gone? |

| Using Quick Parts for landscape pages Posted: 05 Jan 2015 02:46 AM PST Hi, One of the biggest gripes I have with Word is when I am writing a document in portrait with a custom header and footer and then I come to a point where I need to insert landscape page for a Figure or Table. I want the landscape page to be inserted in such a way that the headers and footers appear the same as a portrait page i.e. the header and footer should run down the left and right sides of the page. Is it possible to set this page up manually and then save it into a 'Quick Parts' gallery for the next time I want a correctly formatted landscape page? Does Quick Parts save page formatting data as well as content? |

| Broken Page Number on Track Changes Word Footer Posted: 05 Jan 2015 01:06 AM PST Dear all, I am encountering the track changes documents have incorrect page number on printed out. The page number on print (preview too) will stuck under certain changes. I can do with temporary fixes like : - Putting the page number on header - Accepting all changes. - Printing only final view However, It is unacceptable to have these temporary fixes for clients. I can print the same document fine on Word 2000, it seems a bug in Word 2010. Can I know if I can inspect the file for issue , or to workaround it? Thank you! |

| Dash problem (Microsoft Word 2003) Posted: 04 Jan 2015 08:22 PM PST Whenever I used to type a hyphen surrounded by spaces, it would automatically change to an en dash after I finished typing it. Today my finger must have slipped because that no longer happened---until I changed the Autocorrect settings to change it back. But that brought on a new problem: whenever I type a hyphen (spaces or no spaces), it automatically changes to an en dash, and I only want that to happen when I type a space before and after it. Can anyone tell me how to bring things back to the way they were originally? Thanks! |
| Using Mail Merge to complete a form - holding place, not inserting. Posted: 04 Jan 2015 05:04 PM PST I'm using Mail Merge to create and complete a form, in this case a credit application form. Normally, these would be completed with a pen, and appropriate spaces are provided for handwritten responses. I've created the Word document, but I'm finding that, depending on the size of the field, I can't keep the rest of the text in line. Therefore, every document created after the merge needs to be reformatted. Currently, the fields are "inserted". I'd like to know how to put them in by overwriting the space provided on the form. I can then accommodate them by allowing for the largest field size in the spreadsheet when formatting the original form before merging. Hoping someone can assist. |

| Posted: 04 Jan 2015 01:44 AM PST Help! when I email my word 2013 documents over to other people ( who may not have the same version of word as me) it compresses certain words together. The document reads perfectly on the version on-screen that I send, but when they receive them, these random errors occur that omit spaces in certain sentences and join 2 words together for some reason. nothing comes up on any checks i do?
