Keep colors and formatting when copying and pasting word documents 2013

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 02:04 PM PST

My original saved document (docx) has a few different colors and I'm using fonts, paragraphs, and styles to personalize/structure it.

I copied and pasted this original document to another new blank page and a lot of my formatting isn't on the copy.  

Can you direct me on the steps to take to get an exact same copy?  

Thank you,

Vic

 

Type and Read Japanese Characters in Word 365

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:40 PM PST

I have Office 365 and am trying to read Japanese Characters in a Word doc. I have a couple questions.

My friend who is Japanese is writing a translation in Japanese of some English words for me. I need to then take those into Photoshop. So I want to understand how best that she can write in Word and then share that doc with me and what language pack we both need to write this out? 

I have Office 365, so maybe it would be easiest to create a doc online that she could just type in directly herself? Not sure if that language pack is supported though. Just trying to make it as easy as possible.

Thank you.

Microsoft Word Language- -> set proofing language -> "do not check spelling or grammar" not working in document

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:24 PM PST

I have a document with several computer software code listings.  Some people make these documents with images, but it is much more useful to paste code that in turn can be copied and pasted by the reader or even oneself.

I have tried very hard to use the spelling and grammar by selecting the appropriate region and using Language- -> set proofing language  -> "do not check spelling or grammar".  At first it appeared to work, but after many such sections were selected, it stopped working as if I hadn't set it at all.  I tried saving the document.  I tried re-doing these selections many times, still it doesn't say work.

As another recommended post says the box won't stay checked.

But more fundamentally, it just doesn't work.

Is there a cure for this problem?


Alternatively,

Is there any other way to mark a section of a document as computer software code (or in some instances mathematical or scientific equations) and get spelling and grammar check to leave them alone?   One still needs the rest of the document to be checked!

Thanks in Advance!

MS Word text converted to gibberish

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:16 PM PST

Suddenly 46 pages of notes in a document of several hundred pages turned to gibberish that cannot be reconverted by a font change.

In 30+ years of word processing, mostly on MSW, I've not encountered an error quite this serious. Regrettably both the local and remote backups of the document were saved with this mess before it was discovered.

This has occurred just a few months before a major system-wide upgrade here including a current edition of Word. I need to finish a major project before a huge system replacement.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is, how it might have occurred, whether the original can be recovered, and/or how to prevent it from happening again? I hate to think that I have to check every page of a 500 page document every single time before saving it.

With thanks in advance,

.PDF only option in Open dialog box

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:04 PM PST

I think I'm looking for a setting on the machine or in Word which is running on my office-mates computer because this doesn't happen on any other computers in the office. 

We have a locked form with a macro which adds a file to the document.  The macro button, when selected, opens a dialog box where the attachable files live however instead of allowing this user to see "All Files", ".PDF" is selected and is the only choice.  The files which can be selected are all Word files so since it's looking for *.pdf files only, these selections are not visible.  I'm wondering how to get this switched back to "All Files" in the dialog box for him instead of just ".PDF".  (This is the drop down button on the bottom right next to the File name: box just above the Tools button, "Open" button, and "Cancel" button.  In other programs this is labeled, "File Type".) 

I'm wondering if there's a setting in Word that got flipped somewhere to only open PDFs for some reason.  I know it's not the macro as this is not the behavior on anyone elses machine.  Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere which says, "When opening files only open PDF files" or what might be causing this behavior? 

Thanks for your help.

xe field codes

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 12:35 PM PST

  How do I remove the hidden text ie xe codes from word 10.  

I inserted an index table which I have now removed. The field codes remain but it does not affect the home tab view. But when I go to print via file , print I suddenly have 5 extra pages which upsets the page numbering . I think it is the xe codes which are visible in the print preview and print when I print a page, but not in the home view which increases the number of pages.

Office 2010 Word Custom Dictionary - Add a word

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:53 AM PST

I have Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I want to add a word to the custom dictionary that has mixed case. I live in Australia and my Internet Supplier is iiNet. When I proof a document with their name in it, it is always highlighted for possible correction. (I don't want to check the box about mixed case as I use other mixed case words as well) 

I do not get the option to add the word during the spell check process.

I can add any word to the custom dictionary that has four mixed case letters but when the fifth letter is typed, the "Add" box greys out.

Not a big problem but a definite annoyance. It also has me wondering about French words as a lot of their surnames have mixed case and I doubt I should have to load a French dictionary to overcome this problem.

Give some love to academic/scientific users

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:22 AM PST

There is no way to submit lengthy suggestion to Microsoft, hence this forum entry.

Give some love to the academic/scientific community. (Feature request to Office 15, Office 16, Gemini)

The equation editor (when typing the equations) absolutely rocks, however there is a direly missing feature. It is virtually impossible to write a proper particle physics or general relativity paper without the Feynman-slash notation. The back-end is completely capable of doing it (see my post at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/want-to-write-using-the-equation-tool-with-feynman/8d498a8a-0225-471c-9a5d-aacb6670b0eb). We would like a "\fslash" control that would overstrike a "/" character over the last group, similar to how "\bar" works.

Numbered equations! It's a joke how there are feature requests for numbered equations in Word 2007 (!!!) forums, but still no support. People tend to write macros for inserting single row, triple column tables with the center column holding 85% of the page width and the equation caption Cut+Pasted into the third column. This is tedious.

Custom anchors to equations/figures/bibliography entries, and custom bibliography etc. styling. Nearly all scientific journals accept only LaTeX, all due to this problem. The few that provide .doc or .docx templates don't use proper anchors or bibliography. That is because they cannot be styled. Even the simplest, and most widely used style of bibliography entries appearing as [15] is not possible, because Word only allows round braced (15) style (which is ok for equations, but not bibliography). Giving heaps of prebaked stylings is not enough. Allow for customzing both anchors and the appearance of the collections. (TOC, Bibliography, etc.)

Although most likely this is not the exact place to post, but hope it makes it to the right place: the Windows Phone 8.1 version of Office completely lacks the equation renderer. Equations render blank spaces, making us convert all our stuff to PDF, redering the Office App pretty much useless for both Word and PowerPoint presentations.

Word 2013 Enforce/Re-enforce Unchecking "Remove personal information from file properties on save"

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:16 AM PST

As a default in Word 2013 the checkbox "Remove personal information from file properties on save" located in Trust Center Settings is checked, because of this any documents saved will be scrubbed of user names for comments made when using "Track Changes". When opening the document after a save the comments will all show "Author".  

If the check is removed from "Remove personal information from file properties on save" it is again checked after running the "Document Inspector". 

How can we remove the check from the box and enforce this even after the "Document Inspector" is ran?  I cannot find any reference to this in Group Policy and we are using O365 Pro Plus Click to Run install so initial settings cannot be made during the install. 

Thank you 

Microsoft word Document Word 97-2003, 2 question pure text & text with small images What MS should I be using ?

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 10:59 AM PST

My first question is that I opened Word 97-2003 document and in ALL cases it states that this document is a word 97-2003 document and can't be edited

So as created on a PC  what  Microsoft word documents (year) should I  be creating these documents as I have just been say copying a document in part as 97-2003 the new document is that also

Finally the un-editable W 97-2003 document if ALL text is displayed correctly formatted highlights except for Non edit perfect

If the document has any photo or images  which are 3 at most the text is left justified and only 10 characters wide so this question would be ONE NEAT column of words.

Any document W97-2003 with images created on a PC sent to myself as an attachment to a email ONLY on PC is 100%  EDITABLE  and displayed as it should, BUT if viewed after download or via office is essentially just one column 10 characters wide

Question

What microsoft Word version should I be using on a PC that if I do need to edit on my windows phone I can

ATM

No images display on phone is OK                             NOT EDITABLE

With images a column "10" display NOT, NOT! ok        NOT EDITABLE

Thanks

Can't unpin docs from Word taskbar

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 10:14 AM PST

When I right-click the Word icon in my taskbar, a list of recent documents pops up, as well as a few I pinned for easy access. But there are a few documents pinned which I cannot unpin. 

I right-click the pinned document, and select "Unpin from this list"...

But it just flashes orange and does nothing. I have been able to add new pinned documents and unpin these, but over the last several months a few documents have refused to unpin. I deleted one or two of these documents from my computer files, but they still refuse to unpin (they didn't unpin when the documents were still present, either). 

Suggestions? I'd really like to get rid of these documents - having a pinned list is not helpful if I can't remove the documents later. 

Automatically generating text from one text box to another

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 09:28 AM PST

Hello,

Is it possible to write text in one text box, then have a 2nd text box automatically generate the same text? I'm think they would have to be linked somehow (not like in a newspaper where the run-off text continues into the 2nd text box), or perhaps entering an IF field or formula of some sort?

Thank you in advance!

What happened to the Office.com ClipArt feature in Office 2013?

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:49 AM PST

The only option available in the Insert>Online Pictures is the Bing Search bar.  The Office.com clipart bar was available in December, and is now missing.

Also, is there a place to sign up for update notices.  When teaching, it would be nice to know if a feature you are using is no longer available before you send a class to the link/tab etc. 

Flashing Cursor in Word 2010

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 07:10 AM PST

We recently added new network copiers and installed the drivers on each PC on campus.  Now, when using Word 2010, the cursor flashes constantly.  I tried removing the copier, downloading a new driver and reinstalling, but the issue persisted.  I changed the default printer and the cursor goes back to normal.  Is there any other way to fix this?  I have some users for whom selecting the correct printer is a bit of a challenge.  Thank you!

MS Word Templates

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 06:54 AM PST

I have a template where an employee's first and last names are entered in text boxes. Is there a simple way to "pick up" that data and display it elsewhere in the template (so that they user doesn't have to enter it multiple times)? We are using Word 2010 and 2013, so I need something that works in both. Thanks!

MERGESEQ using data from Excel

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 05:58 AM PST

HI,

This would be my first post so go easy if this is a silly question! i also apologize if i have uploaded this to the wrong place, i have uploaded to the word Sub but had no joy.

I currently have a working mailmerge but would like to speed it up.

in my data record (Which i am pulling from excel) there can be multiple records for the same individual, this means once the merge is finished, they will receive multiple emails whereas i would like each individual to receive only one. there may be a list of 100 records but only 10 recipients.

i have found articles referring to MERGESEQ but i have not have much joy.

I have sorted the table alphabetically and also labelled the headers correctly. I would like the "Salesperson" column to be the "key".

I have uploaded my code in mail merge and my table headers and hope that someone can help me! i have been tinkering for AGES! I am open to other suggestions to get the result i am looking for?

Table Headers - http://imgur.com/29qMjyr&nSfV8XC#1

MERGESEQ - http://imgur.com/29qMjyr&nSfV8XC

When i merge the above MERGESEQ code, the output is simply "Hi,"

How can I have the mark up margin in only part of a document?

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 04:21 AM PST

I need to combine two word documents into one. One has been marked up and has the mark up margin with comments in it. The other has not been marked up and when I copy and paste the marked up document into this one the mark up margin appears in the entire document. Is it possible to keep the mark up margin for only the originally marked up  part and not the rest?

The reason I need to do this is for an academic assessment submission that requires both things to be presented in one document.

Object in Page Header does not display correct

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 01:53 AM PST

Hi Experts

I have created a document in MS Word 2013 and added a Text Box object in the header of the document that serves as a watermark. The text box is rotated 45 degrees and the position of the object is set to align right relative to the page horizontally and with an absolute position of 3,1 cm below the page. This should ensure that the object is placed in the upper right corner of the page regardless of the page orientation.

However if I insert this object in a document with multiple sections - some in portrait and others in landscape - it seems that the object is not being displayed correct in the Print Layout. On pages in landscape the object is moved to the left somewhat aligning to the same position as the object on pages in portrait. But if I open the header or print preview the object is moved back and shown correct.

Any ideas?

Word only printing the left half of an A5 page!

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 09:28 PM PST

When I print a page of A5 (14.8 x 21.0cms) writing in Word 2013 (and Windows 8.1) only the left hand side of the writing appears – and that shows on the right hand side of the A5 sheet.

  • I have been assured by the Epson Printer technician that as the Test Page prints correctly (right across the page) that it is NOT a driver fault, nor a printer fault;
  • I have made sure that the printer settings page in Word is set correctly—that the margins are correctly set and that the format is set to 'Portrait';
  • However, there seems to be a conflict in the 'Custom Page Size' tab (within the Print 'Settings' section), as it shows a red exclamation mark, even though the size shown/set is 14.8 x 21.0 cms (which is the correct size for an A5 page).
  • Further, in the 'Page Setup' page, in the 'Paper' tab, under 'Paper Size', only three options are given:  Letter;   A4;   Custom Size.   In previous versions of Word, I always had the option of selecting any number of page sizes!   Yet even specifying a set of page measurements (14.8 x 21.0) under the 'Custom Size' heading, it still only prints half a page of writing!
  • In exploring further on the document to be printed, and clicking on the area alongside the document, a border suddenly appears around the document.   This to me, looks suspiciously like an A4 sized page in 'Landscape' format—with the A5 document that I want printed fairly in the middle of this larger sheet on its side!!!!!       
  • Printer is the Epson Stylus Fax/Printer CX6900F

So I need advice on what adjustments/upgrades/downloads that are needed to enable me to print an A5 page correctly.    I have always been able to print the same (sized) document on all previous versions of Word.

Saving ipad word document to computer offline

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 08:12 PM PST

Hi all. I'm fairly new to the ipads etc, and have recently downloaded the ipad "word" app, as well as excel, powerpoint etc. My laptop at work is on a wired connection, thus no wireless for the ipad. I'm wondering the best way to transfer these word documents between my laptop and my ipad, without an internet connection. Would like to avoid dropbox/cloud etc if possible, as these may need my ipad to be on an internet connection. I can physically connect my ipad and laptop with the white cord, but that's about it. Please help.

Office for iPad has a critical bug in latest update!

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 06:37 PM PST

All,

I notice my iPad updated MS office apps for iPad today. So, I went to open word on my iPad, provided my login and password, and then tried to access my documents on OneDrive. The connection dialog box came up "Connecting" and then disappeared again and then reappeared again in an endless loop. I had to quickly push the cancel button on the connection dialog box when it appeared again to terminate the connection. I rebooted my iPad, rebooted the app many times, and also tried a different Internet connection, and the problem still persists -- no joy!. This same problem occurs when using Excel and PowerPoint. Is anyone else having this problem? The office apps for me are totally useless now!

-L

name of corrector is changed to "author"

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 01:12 PM PST

Hi,

I sent a WORD2013 document for review by colleagues and they made corrections. 

The corrections (an comments) were "marked" with their names when viewed on their computer (example: "John deleted" or "John - comment".

However, when I received the document (sent by e-mail), all names ("John" and the like) were replaced by "Author".  So, even though I could see the corrections (and the comments), I could not see who did them. 

To check for a problem due to the sending the document by e-mail, I made my-self come corrections and then sent the document to me by e-mail.   In the file I received, my corrections were marked correctly (by my name). 

Did my colleague make something wrong or this a problem of WORD 2013 configuration ?  How wan this be corrected ?

Thanks for the link. As I mentioned in my 1st post, I already tried the copy
dvd to 'Office Test' folder. I attempted to install from there and got the
same results, "Setup cannot continue..." The Full Retail Office Standard 2007
installed just fine from that DVD drive. I uninstalled it in order to give as
a gift to my daughter, on whose computer is working fine. I never imagined
that when I purchased the Full Retail Office Ultimate 2007 that it (being an
expensive bit of software) would give me so much trouble. I've already RMA'd
the first delivery, which had the same result as the new package I've just
received. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I think I might try to
install each component of the Ultimate package individually from within the
expanded cabs.

Hi,

I've tried copying the setup files to the hard drive, I've tried everything
I can think of.
There is also no hidden MSOCache folder on any of my drives, so that can't
be the problem.

There could be an issue with a registry cleaner, as I know one was run on
the system in the past.

I've tried everything, and at this point I simply can't get MS Office 2007
installed.
And, come to think of it, I also had the problem on a machine which did NOT
have a registry cleaner run on it, so that likely isn't the problem after
all.

It is a blank screen, in the app you have opened, unless you ed up your
default template.
Why would you expect any other default action.
From there use file open, in that screen, or open your doent directly
from either or, recent doents, your Doents Folder, or Explorer.

Technet Office 2007 & Terminal Services

Posted: 23 May 2008 12:48 PM PDT

Hi P.R.,

In addition to having an Office 2007 enterprise/corporate edition you also need to have a enterprise/volume license key for Office
2007 to install it on thin clients http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311241?FR=1

If you don't have a separate test machine for your demo, and need to isolate the test setup from the working environment then you
may want to consider setting it up on Virtual PC/Virtual Server or even the Office 2007 Professional 2007 and Office Sharepoint
Server 2007 Virtual Hard Disk downloads - http://microsoft.com/virtualpc

I have a new computer running Vista Home Premium on which I installed a newly

up and naively assumed that I had activated the product too.
It has now gone to reduced functionality mode which in effect renders it
useless. When I click to activate from within any programme, nothing happens.
The activation wizard does not open. I am in UK. There is an option to
activate by phone, but one does not get to speak to anyone and the
instruction given is to enter the code they give into the wizard which I
cannot open.........
I have tried uninstalling, but that did not help. I also tried system
restore to just before installed Office but that then said my vista was not
activated and then would not accept my key for that so I had to undo the
restore.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I lost mine - can I get a re down load on microsoft office 2003?

The download will start with en_office or similar. Might be an ISO file. If it
was an ISO file, it would be on a CD. If you double-click an ISO file, your cd
burning software will burn the download to a CD.

Project Pro 2007 - Install failure

Posted: 16 May 2008 11:17 AM PDT

Hi NG,

MAPS saw the logic in my appeal and they are sending me a new complete copy
of MS Project Pro. Sluggofish's suggestion would probably work as the
reason for the failure was the material on my DVD was an update only. By
downloading the complete program we could have had good results, however,
since MAPS will send a new disk, I will wait for it to arrive.

Thanks,

Yes...there is some truth there. My belief that Linux is better than

Some Linux distributions (Fedora and Debian) have done a superior job of
probing my video card and my graphics are cleared and crisper than on my
XP or Vista installation. So clear and crisp that I really have a hard
time looking at Windows now.(Though I did get a better looking GUI by
modifying my fonts...it just took me a while to sort through it all.)

But really...it's a matter of having superior performance with Linux as
compared to Vista.

But what finally got me sold on Linux was the attention to details.

A number of years ago, I thought I'd see about switching over to Linux
and was at first happy that I got my photo-quality printer working ...
but then realized I could not find a head cleaning utility.
Next I could not get my scanner working...so I scrapped the idea of
using Linux on a full time basis.

However now I see the rolls have reversed.
Though *all* my H/W works fine on XP...
it also works fine on Linux...right down to the head cleaning for my
printer...scanner support...in short... 100% H/W support right down to
the fine details


Boot over to Vista and my scanner is not detected ...it's a SCSI scanner
and there are no drivers avail for my very common SCSI card.

So sure, maybe a few years back XP came out on top...but times have changed.

Computers are a tool for doing work
and with Windows machines it just seems I am forced to spend way too
much time just maintaining the operating system itself.


Have I given up on Windows completely?

No, there are still one application I need to run natively...
and for the few times I need to transfer data on a floppy ...
Windows is easier to use as with Linux the floppy needs to be manually
mounted and unmounted...
but Windows now is only getting a very minimal amount of use.
Very few folks today even use a floppy at all

Yes we have and after doing everything to avoid losing data we finally
learned that backing up is the only option. Even if you do everything
perfectly you can still lose everything due to some undoented "feature" of
the installation routine.

Myself I have gone to USB drives for the /home directory and for a separate
backup directory. And with a cron.daily backup of everything that does change
daily like .thunderbird and .mozilla.

If you insist upon going this way with RH8 I used some utility that came with
it to make an installation partition on the high sector part of the disk. It
worked and I did not lose data. That was back when RH9 just came out so I have
no memory of any details. By high sector I mean that all files should be
mapped from lowest to highest sector so by partitioning the highest sectors I
avoided the data area. I have no memory of how I knew I was not overwriting
data but I am sure I only used tools available on RH8.

% complete vs. % work complete?

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 09:23 PM PST

Adding a bit to Mike's explanation - Looking beyond the immediate question
and trying to get to what you boss is actually looking for, comparing
percent complete at some point to what your schedule if followed to the
letter says you'd be at that point doesn't really tell you whether you're
on-schedule or on-budget or not because in itself it's an incomplete
picture. If the goal is to monitor progress, to see if you're on-target or
falling behind, you should look a little deeper into something called Earned
Value which monitors work actually achieved and dollars actually spent by a
selected status date versus what you originally had scheduled to occur by
that date and it gives you some tools to extrapolate those values to come up
with a predicted actual completion date and predicted actual cost. There's
a good discussion under Earned Value in the Project help files to get you
started in the right direction.

How do I save a Project file with only schedule data?

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 03:52 PM PST

Thanks, you answered my question though I was hoping for something more
transparent and built in by MS. I will check out the Scrub VBA in detail. The
Scrub description looks like it is a little different than what I want but
could be modified for my needs.

However, I have run into a problem sometimes when deleting resource
assignments in that it changes my schedule by the formula. It looks like it
only happens to tasks that were already in progress. So I have to figure out
how to set up tasks so that their schedule is not affected by deleting the
assigned resources.

I'm just a little surprised this isn't built in to MS Project because it
seems like something any company that works with layers of subcontractors
would want so all the subcontractors can provide Project files that get
integrated into a prime contractor's master schedule. Without each
subcontractor divulging their individual pay rates, resource assignments,
etc...

Thx

Mike,
Just a followup to Catfish's reply. You might want to take a look at the
"yze timescale data in Excel" utility/add-in found on the "ysis"
toolbar. You will get slightly different results (i.e. format) by
exporting from either the Resource or Task Usage views. Of course with a

How can I disable "Work Contour" automatic updates in MS Project?

I suggest you change the task type to "Fixed Units" and have 4 columns:
Start, Actual Start, Finish & Actual Finish. I give the task an actual start
then I can either change the duration to project a finish or type in a
projected "Finish" date. Good Luck

And the next question: The solution using VBA code. Is it difficult to make?
I have done some VBA-coded macros in Excel before where I teached myself

Can you give me some advice or list some functions I will need. Eg. how to

I'm trying to modify a macro to include a 90 degree rotation as part of it being re-sized. 

Sub Asize()

Dim targetWidth As Single
Dim oShp As Shape
Dim oILShp As InlineShape

If Not Selection.ShapeRange Is Nothing Then

I've tried converting the inline shapes to shapes to rotate them but i'm not really sure where i'm going wrong. My end goal is to have a macro which re-sizes the image to the set size, and rotates it 90/270 degrees on the page.

Using character map with MS Office 2003

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 01:18 PM PST

I am having a problem inserting private characters in programs/componemts of Office 2003.  They come into the document but appear as some form of Asian alphabet instead of the character I created in Private Character Editor.

The strange thing is that it works fine with wordpad and notepad, but not with Word, Excel or Powerpoint.

I am running windows 7 home on a laptop platform and MS Office 2003.

Not sure what I might be doing wrong.  I open Character Map, select the private character (which appears just the way I created it), then click the "copy" button.  I then go back to my document and paste.  I've tried pasting from the pull down menus and using the keyboard shortcut.  I know it shouldn't make any difference, but I tried both ways just in case.  Either way I get the same result--some sort of Chinese or Korean character appears instead of the character I created.

I then open wordpad and press control-V.  Viola!  My character appears perfectly!  BTW, I assigned the character to all fonts when I created it and have tried it with several different fonts.  Same results each time.  I also tried selecting the character and changing fonts after it had been pasted-That didn't help either!

Somebody please give me a pearl of wisdom on this.  I really want to make it work.

Oh, BTW--upgrading to the latest version of MS Office or a newer version of Windows is NOT an option (cost prohibitive) so you don't even need to mention that.  There HAS to be a way to make this work according to design!!!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cannot resize table columns in word 2013

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 11:51 AM PST

I have just recently started using MS Office 2013. In the past, it was EASY to create a table and then highlight a column and hover over the vertical line between columns, the mouse pointer would change to the nifty little arrow line arrow pointer, and then you could drag the column and change its width. it was easy, intuitive, simple, -- a total no-brainer.

Now in Word 2013, that no longer works. I cannot drag the column widths, and I cannot change the width at all for the columns in my table.

I have looked for settings in many places, but I cannot seem to get the table to allow me to drag and resize the columns in any way.

It is very annoying that such simple intuitive functionality from past versions does not work anymore in Office 2013, Word 2013.

Word 2003, last page of any document flickers. affects printing too.

Hello. I am using Word 2003, win 7 64 bit home. I recently updated something for word 2003 (http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/7/8/778493c2-ace3-44c5-8bc3-d102da80e0f6/Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-ENU.exe)Office 2003 sp3 KB923618-FullFile-ENU-exe. Apparently this didn't do anything as I got some error/reply to the effect of 'desired program not found'.

I tried printing a resume yesterday and the second page was all misprinted ie many lines were jammed together, some lines halfway legible others very faint. So,I did a check with the printer hardware and the printer checks out fine.

Today I copied and pasted a 10 page document to word and when I went to add another 10 page section to that I noticed when scrolling down to the last page, that that page was all jumping and flickering erratically. I was not able to add to that document and had to open a new page for each section.

Why is this happening? I am sure it has something to do with the failed update but I do not know how to 'undo' an update and an apparently failed one at that.

If I uninstall word and reinstall it should this fix the situation and will I lose all documents?

Can I remove the damage done by the failed update?

I do still have my original disc for office/word 2003.

Thank you

Fonts/styles not displaying on some computers

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 09:38 AM PST

I created a Word template in Word 2007 that others use to create documents. When some of these computers (who also have Word 2007) view these documents, the Arial font  for certain styles displays as Times New Roman. And when we inspect the style, we see that it's set to TNR. Arial is available as an option in the available fonts, but it's not connected to those styles. However, when I open the document on my computer, it displays as Arial and the style is set to Arial.

A couple of the computers fixed themselves over time, and they now display correctly. Another person was working on a completely unrelated document that used Cordia font. Now, every time she opens a document created from my Word template, selected styles are set to Cordia. And when I opened the file after she had worked on it, the font was also set to Cordia on my copy.

We have tried changing the default printer and setting the default font. Please advise.

Creating two A5 pages per sheet of A4 in Word 2007

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 09:00 AM PST

I have been asked to make up an A5 leaflet, with two leaflets per page for printing.  I tried various ways which all worked to a certain extent, but then found this article by Microsoft MVP, Suzanne S Barnhill: http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/2PagesPerSheet.htm which seemed like a really simple way of doing it so I thought I would give it a go.  I've set it up exactly as advised and, in terms of typing in data etc., it seems to work ok, but when I print it out I just get one copy on a sheet of landscape as opposed to two.

I have another problem in the left/right margins were quite big so I tried to change them, but they don't seem to change within the document.

My need arises when I have  created and  printed a file for shareing or my own use and then at later time trying to find file with hard copy in hand !

Label Mail Merge Issue

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 08:25 AM PST

MS Office 2010 - I followed the Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard.  My labels looked fine on the screen.  I selected Print.  Just prior to printing, all of the labels on my screen converted to identical labels - all 30 now look like #1 - and they printed out in the newly converted format.

Why does the mail merge keep changing my labels immediately prior to print - how do I get the mail merge to print out my unique labels?

How to autofill with Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 08:06 AM PST

Using Microsoft Word 2010, how can I use "auto fill" to complete documents that reuse the information once it is typed. For example.

[Date] 

Re: [Customer Name]'s car

Dear [Customer Name]

Today is [DATE]. Yesterday I say your car in the parking lot. Jane asked me whose car it was. I said it belonged to [Customer Name]. She said she loved your car on [DATE].

How can I get the document to fill all the [DATE] fields with the same information when it it typed once?

mail merge for labels printing duplicates

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 06:41 AM PST

When attempting to print labels from a mail merge (excel source), each page of labels begins with the following name - e.g "john Smith" appears on label one of first page followed by "bob jones" (label #2), then the rest of the names to fill the remaining labels on sheet, 2nd sheet labels begins with "bob jones" followed by "jane doe" then rest of the names, 3rd sheet labels begin with "jane doe", then rest of names, etc.

What must we do to ensure that one and the same document is displayed the same way regardless of the Office version in which it edited, saved or viewed?

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 06:28 AM PST

In our technical department we have 4 persons (2 use Office 2013 and 2 use Office 2010).

However when one Office 2010 user opens an Word document previously edited in Office 2013 the layout is completely distorted (even when saved as for Office 2010) and the other way around. (by distorted we mean that the layout changes significantly)

Our computer guy says that the only option is to downgrade everything to Office 2010 or upgrading all computers to Office 2013.

This is not an acceptable solution to us as it probably also means that we will have to change all the layouts of all the Word documents when we change to office 2015 or 2017...

Secondly we even notice that we have the same problem in lesser form between the two Office 2010 users.

What must we do to ensure that one and the same document is displayed the same way regardless of the Office version in which it edited, saved or viewed?

Kind regards,

Thomas

Clipart in Office 2013

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 04:45 AM PST

Hi.  I am using Office 2013 and trying to insert clipart into a Word document.  However, the option for clipart seems to have vanished recently. 

When I click INSERT > ONLINE PICTURES the only option that appears is Bing Image Search.  Any ideas how I can get Office.com Clipart to reappear?

Lowered font is treated differently in Word 2013

Posted: 15 Jan 2015 01:13 AM PST

I just switched from Office 2010 to Office 365 Business Premium. In my documents I have the headings in 'frames' i.e. the background of the whole line has a different colour. Since I do not want the characters stick to the top of these frames, I changed the position of the font (Modify Style/Font/Advanced) to 'Lowered'.

In Word 2010 this worked nicely, in Word 2013 however this has no visual effect when the same document has been opened. I have to increase the number of points from 6 (Word 2010) to 18 (Word 2013) in order to get the same effect.

  20103 (Lowered 6pt)                 2010 (Lowered 6pt)

Is this intended behaviour or how could this change be explained?

Word 2013 Question

Posted: 14 Jan 2015 08:23 PM PST

I'm not sure what I did, but I now have a dotted line outlining my paragraph mark.  This goes from margin to margin.  Each time I hit Return, this box forms around the paragraph mark, so if I hit Return 5 times, each one has a separate box around.  Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Does Revision causes Word to Increase in File Size?

Posted: 14 Jan 2015 07:56 PM PST

Hi! I would like to as if every time you made changes to a document & save it, the file size increases? Does Revision No. & file size go hand-in hand? I just noticed in my word document that whenever Revision No. goes up the file size also increases. Need help on this. Thanks!

By the way, I am using Word 2013

display of hyperlinks in Word 2010

Posted: 14 Jan 2015 05:45 PM PST

I've created a number of documents with inserted hyperlinks, with no trouble for years.

All of a sudden, the old links and all new ones  now show fancy brackets with the beginning word "HYPERLINK"

e.g.,      www.google.com   has become   { HYPERLINK http://www.google.com }

Can't find a way to change formatting back.  Help!
