Microsoft Word - Lost document

Microsoft Word - Lost document

Lost document

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 03:01 PM PST

I downloaded free app for word to my iPad. I started composing a rather in depth historical document which I worked on for 4-5 days. Each time I opened word the document appeared. No problem. I never did name the document but word was saving it constantly. Today I tried to use app but it was frozen. I reset iPad, still no document and word still frozen. I installed upgrade to my ipad 8.1.2 I think. After download complete word is working perfectly but the document is not there. The thought of re-researching all this material is painful. Help!

Macro to copy text, then save file as copied text

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 02:36 PM PST

I have a vast number of job applications where I am copying and pasting from a "print view" from a web browser into a MS Word document, which produces a document with lots of tables and nested tables, Somewhere in there is the name of the applicant... I can record a macro to find their name, since it'll always be in the same table/cell location, but I would like to have it Save As the name of the applicant as well. I can't seem to do that second part by just recording a macro.

Sub testing()
'
' testing Macro
'
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "Name:"
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
    Selection.Copy

so far so good, but then I'm having problems with this part because it wants to save everything as "John Smith.doc" every time.

    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Users\fogharty\Desktop\"
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="John Smith.doc", FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:= _
        True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:= _
        False, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=0
End Sub

Ideally, it would save as the applicant's name plus the current date... "John Smith 1-20-2015.doc, and to a specific folder on the desktop. But perhaps I'm dreaming.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

One more question on indexing all words in a Word document

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 01:31 PM PST

Now and then I need to make indexes in Word documents of the entire text of that particular document i.e. of every word from 1 letter and up.

Someone was kind enough to help me to a macro that helps to list the frequency, but I also need the INDEX.

I checked several macro sources, but didn't find one that simply takes over de impossible handword of marking every word in a tekst by hand.

Extract Comments to a new Document Macro - Including line numbers

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 01:17 PM PST

Hello

I am a newbie to using Macros. I found a template for extracting comments to a new document and managed to successfully create it and personalise the table titles. The table includes the page number the comment relates to. It would be far more useful to me for it to show the line number. Is there a way of doing this? Below is the macro code thingy I have been using. How do I get it to show which line number the comments relate to? Thank you in advance! If I manage to do this it will streamline my interview data analysis no end!

Equation symbols in Word

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 12:27 PM PST

Hello. I've got a question about some symbols.

I want to put the "normal subgroup" Symbol, I mean, this symbol.

but I don't wanna open that menu and search for the symbol.

For example, many symbols can be written with a command, for example "less or equal than" may be inserted writting "\leq" in the equation. Or the ones at the left side of the "normal subgroup symbol", for "is subset or has this as a subset", can be inserted writting "\subseteq" or "\superseteq", "\cdot" can be used for "dot product"

This works a lot similar to LaTeX. the command for "less or equal than", and of "is subset of" is the same, the one for "has this as a subset" is "\supseteq", "\cdot" also works.
And I can write the normal subgroup symbol with the "\triangleleft" command in LaTeX. So... is there any way I can personalize this to have some command, or some quick way to write this symbol? The command \triangleleft doesn't work in word (Even when a lot of LaTeX commands work in word)...

It would be very good if I could assign it a command like the ones in LaTeX.

Avery Label Template not accurate

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 10:50 AM PST

Using Office 2013 on a Windows 7 machine

I am trying to print a full page of return address labels using an Avery template (either 8167 or 5267) from the mail merge -> labels list of choices.   The label text keeps creeping down bit by bit so that by the time I am at the bottom of the printed page, the labels are not usable.  The return address has crept so low that only the first two lines of the address are actually printed on the label.   Haven't had this problem before so I don't even know where to look for a fix.

Word macro to insert review changes into a separate doc

Hi,

I have the following code to take my changes into a new document but the author, type etc. are not being inputted into their own columns - the table is displaying with multiple rows and 1 column. Is there a way to assign each arev to a column?

Dim arev As Revision
Dim docsource As Document, doctarget As Document
Set docsource = ActiveDocument
Set doctarget = Documents.Add
With docsource
    For Each arev In .Revisions
        doctarget.Range.InsertAfter arev.Author & vbTab & arev.Type & vbTab & arev.Range & vbCr
    Next arev

Possible to hide text until it's printed?

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 07:40 AM PST

Cropping width and height not setting independently

Posted: 20 Jan 2015 07:13 AM PST

I'm using Format Picture>Crop to crop a number of images to the same exact size, entering the dimensions into the Crop position Width: and Height: fields. Although it appears that these dimensions can be set independently of each other (which is exactly what I would expect), changing one dimension very slightly changes the other. For example, I try to crop an image to 4cm high and 5.5cm wide; Word resets the dimensions to 3.99cm high and 5.49cm wide. It's not a big enough adjustment to be a problem, but I can't understand why Word is doing this in the first place. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!

Printing Problems on Avery Label

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 11:48 PM PST

I downloaded a template for Avery 5163 labels.     I completed the label, looked at the print preview and clicked print.   The labels ran through the printer, but did not print!    I can open other documents and they print with no problem.  I ran a diagnostics test in Microsoft Office 2010  and it shows no problems.  I also ran a troubleshooter for my HP Photosmart 6515, it also shows no problems!   Has anyone else had this issue?  If so, how did you correct it?  

This is frustrating!!!

Double sided numerical (001-300) tickets, Please Help!

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 03:51 PM PST

I use Microsoft Office 2010.

I need to make 300 double sided tickets that will be used for a charity sub sale. I usually use templates when I need to do things like this but I cant seem to find a template that suits my exact needs.

I need to make 6 double sided tickets per page. They need to have a numerical count from 001-300. I don't have a printer that prints double sided so I will need it that I can print out the 300 tickets and then place them all in the printer again upside down and print the backside evenly for me to cut them out. I'd prefer the tickets not have an border/outline but if its necessary I will make the exception.

If someone could point me to a tutorial or explain how I could do this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Macro for Document and PDF-Both With New Names and Locations

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 03:08 PM PST

I want to create a macro that allows me to "save as" an existing documents with a new title, and creates a PDF of it. I want to be able to create both simultaneously, name them the same thing, and I want to choose where they get saved.

So far, I've scoured the web and found this; it creates a new document and a PDF, but saves them both in the same place the original document is saved in.

Dim strName As String

ActiveDocument.Save

strName = Left(ActiveDocument.FullName, Len(ActiveDocument.FullName) - 4)

strName = strName & "pdf"

ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=strName, _

                              ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:= _

                              wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, to:=99, _

                              Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _

                              CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _

                              BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=True


Also, I've found this; It does half of what I want. It allows me to name and choose where the PDF goes, but doesn't include the document. 

Dim StrPath As String, StrName As String, Result

With ActiveDocument

 On Error GoTo Errhandler

 StrPath = GetFolder & "\"

 StrName = Split(.Name, ".")(0)

 While Dir(StrPath & StrName & ".pdf") <> ""

   Result = InputBox("WARNING - A file already exists with the name:" & vbCr & _

     Split(.Name, ".")(0) & vbCr & _

     "You may edit the filename or continue without editing." _

     & vbCr & vbTab & vbTab & vbTab & "Proceed?", "File Exists", StrName)

   If Result = vbCancel Then Exit Sub

   If StrName = Result Then GoTo Overwrite

   StrName = Result

 Wend

Overwrite:

 .ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=StrPath & StrName & ".pdf", _

 ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, OpenAfterExport:=False, _

 OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _

 Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, _

 CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, _

 BitmapMissingFonts:=True, UseISO19005_1:=False

End With

Errhandler:

End Sub

Function GetFolder() As String

Dim oFolder As Object

Can anyone help come up with a variation on the two or just help fill in the gaps? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Adding dates

Posted: 23 Jan 2006 11:09 AM PST

Hi,

Have read your question and the replies. There is one other scenario that
may be what you need. It is a situation I come across regularly. The
situation is that a notification is required x days before a particular task
starts. The task starting though is not driven by the notification but
rather by other factors. ASn example might be in construction that before
the floor is poured the local authority is notified 1 week before the pour.
The pour date is predicated on many other tasks happening and where those
tasks are delayed so the floor pour is delayed. Using the normal FS link
with a 1 week delay makes the start of the floor pour starting seven days
after notification rather than notifying seven days before the pour. A
subtle difference but important.

In this situation I 'drive' the notification task back from the floor pour
in this case by the 1 week, using the notification task as a predecessor of
the floor pour BUT using a SF link and a -1week delay.

Using this approach if there is a change at all to the tasks that affect the
floor pour, then the notification date is changed. If the other tasks are
delayed then the notification can be delayed, if the floor pour can start
early then the notification period must show an earlier date.

In this case the notification does not drive the other task but is important
nonetheless.

Hope this helps .

How do I set up a simple calendar in project 2003

Posted: 20 Jan 2006 01:59 PM PST

Hi Sandy,

I would suggest using Microsoft Outlook's task list or the Outlook Calendar,
particularly as you want reminders. With tasks, you can set due dates,
start dates as well as add some notes that may be useful. You could also
create a new calendar in Outlook and use that visual look as well.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Project should allow for "computer times" (ex. microseconds)

Posted: 20 Jan 2006 08:35 AM PST

It seems like it would be, and mathematically it probably would be trivial,
but consider how data is stored, what the data represents, and the
implications of such a change would be for scheduling projects such as MSP
is presently intended for. Project is storing its time values with an
integer counter register tracking 6 second "ticks" of a master clock. The
register stores sufficient ticks to cover the date range of 1/1/1984 thru
12/31/2049. If each "tick" were to represent a microsecond instead of a
deciminute, the register would max out and overlow with a date range one
six-millionth as long as present. In other words, the longest project it
could accomodate would last a little over 1 hour from start to finish.

Your basic error is in thinking that Project is some sort of time management
or calendaring tool. It is not. It is a tool designed to model the various
tasks required to complete the deliverable and schedule the work defined by
the model that is to be done by resources in projects that have observable
start and end points and result in a unique outcome.

Formatting pictures with textbox over picture

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 01:33 PM PST

I have a document with 12 pictures.  Each picture has a textbox on it with Word Art.  When I look at reveal codes there is a page break between each picture as I wanted.  When I view print view,  web (filtered), or pdf the formatting is all messed up.  In one case two pictures over lap even though there is a page break between them.  Also having trouble with some text boxes not staying on the picture and/or going to a different page.

The document looks perfect when I am looking at it, however, I can recreate the overlapping pictures by changing one of those pictures to "text wrap behind text" when I do that the other picture jumps up a page. 

I have been working on this unsuccessfully for 5 days and am about to give up.

Open to all ideas.

Thank you!

Mail merge issue -- after merging, the font size changed in the merge fields from 12 pt to 14 pt

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 01:25 PM PST

I use mail merge to create Separation Agreements/Releases in my job.  The main document is a Word document and the data source is an Excel file.  After merging the documents, the final (merged) document has changed the font size in certain fields from 12 pt. to 14 pt.  for some reason.  I can't figure out why or how this is happening.  The main Word document doesn't seem to have any formatting changes in the font size and the Excel data source uses an entirely different font and size anyway.  I have to go through the entire document and highlight the fields that are larger and change them to 12 pt.  Any solution to this problem?  Thanks.

Drop down List Content Control not editable

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 11:32 AM PST

Hello. I have created a word template with a drop down list content control. It should be possible that anyone can edit a content when using the template. Therefore I have not selected the locking checkboxes in the content control properties (Content control cannot be deleted and contents cannot be edited not selected). Strangely Word is working like I have selected the checkbox 'contents cannot be edited'. Any idea what the problem is? When I try to edit a content the message 'The modification is not allowed because the selection is locked'. First I tried to create the drop down list in Word 2007, then in Word 2013. In both versions the same problem exists. No chance to edit the content. Help will be highly appreciated. Tks and rgds Babazrh

Grouping pictures and shapes

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:22 AM PST

Word 2007. After I insert a picture, I sometimes insert shape and place it on top of the picture. However, I cannot group them. If I change the picture wrap from in line to floating, then the shape goes behind the picture and cannot be brought forward. Is there a way to group them?

Office 2013 - "This modification is not allowed because selection is locked"

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:19 AM PST

I am using Office 2013 (Word).  The document I am working on is an old document that I have been using for well over a year.  It is a running "to-do" list with check boxes.  Before my current issue, I would check off the completed tasks for the week and then at the beginning of the next week, I would copy and paste the previous week's tasks, enter a new date at the top of the list, and simply delete the checked (completed) tasks.  All of a sudden, when I go to delete a task, I receive the message "This modification is not allowed because selection is locked".

Most of the other answers to this problem (apparently a common problem) seem to revolve around the document being restricted (not in this case) or an issue with the Word version not being activated (not in this case).  I am having no problems with any other Word docs, only this one.

EDIT:  I just figured out that if I ONLY use the "backspace" key, I can delete the line (task) in question, but if I highlight the entire line and try to delete it I receive the same message.

Any help is appreciated!

WORD toolbar defaut tab in Office 365 Home

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:15 AM PST

When I open WORD the tool bar tab at the top of the page defaults to the "File" tab.  Until now it has always defaulted to the "Home" tab that shows the toolbar commands used in Word documents.  If I click on "Home" to perform a command, it performs the command and then the tab goes back to "File" instead of staying on the "Home" tab.  How can I make the "Home" tab the default when opening WORD?  And also, how do I get it too remain on the tab I select until I manually change to a different tab?

MS Word 2010 Email Merge doesn't work with the HTML Option Using Windows 8.1

Posted: 19 Jan 2015 08:21 AM PST

I am running Windows 8.1

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.

Outlook is my default email program.

When I complete an e-mail merge, I can send as an attachment, no issues.

I can send as plain text, though this opens a dialog box asking me to allow internet access for a specified time period, and I have to click OK on each e-mail.  At least it works.

When I choose to send as HTML, the merge completes, but no e-mails are sent.  I see the dozens of merges being completed, but there are no e-mails in my outbox or my sent e-mail folders in Outlook.

I have run the repair function for Microsoft Office.  I have downloaded all updates.  I have done a clean boot of Windows.  I even tried to use the fix (though it's designed for Windows 7), #980681.  Still nothing.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

How to create a smaller header on the continuation page of Microsoft Word 2013?

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 08:19 PM PST

I created a letterhead using word 2013 that contains logo and contact details on the header of the first page, and a preset different header for all subsequent pages.  This means that when the content on the main letterhead goes into second and subsequent pages, a different header is created automatically, with a smaller logo on the top right corner of the page.

My challenge now is that I would like to set the header margin for the subsequent pages to be smaller but can't seem to do this without affecting the whole document.  Whenever I change the header margin, it affects the whole document.  Please help.

Regards,

Phil

FILE SEARCH WINDOWS 8 OFFICE 2013 WORD

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 06:19 PM PST

Hi,

Just recently the search function stopped working when I try to search for files in my folders.  It used to but now it doesn't.  Was there an update that changed that and if so, which one so I can uninstall it?  If not, how do I fix it?  I tried the indexing/rebuilding route.  It worked once and I was able to do a search but went right back to returning no results in a search and I couldn't get it to work again.  It is very frustrating as I work with a lot of word documents and folders and need to be able to search them.  Also, when I click on a help link, I get a message that the content is no longer available.  What's that about?  What's the point of having the link if it doesn't work?  I want to avoid doing a system restore if at all possible because I don't really know what restore point to go back to.  Please help.

Thanks.

Trouble with Paste

Using Office 2010 on a Windows 8.1 system:

I frequently want to copy a URL from an open Chrome website and then paste it into either a new Outlook email or into a Word document.  The paste function doesn't work.  I have to repeat the copy and then repeat the paste several times before it finally works.  It just won't work the first time.

Any suggestions??

removing "scroll" symbol from copy and paste into Word

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 04:29 PM PST

Hello,

this is my problem: when copying  an email from Outlook/Hotmail onto Word, Word then displays all these little "scroll" symbols. They are little yellow squares, with a slightly unwound scroll, top right to bottom left. (SEE FURTHER DOWN)

I want to keep source formatting, but do not want to manually remove these symbols each time I copy and paste an email, before I save the docx. The other issue is, if I do not remove these "symbols" and save the docx, upon opening the docx again, the symbols are not there, but the "grey background rectangle" that appeared from the copy and paste of the address details remains, as well as the blank spaces there were occupied by the scroll symbols. Now I could choose just paste text option, but then that removes all source formatting - not what I want.

I encountered this years ago when in XP, but I cannot remember how I undid it (whether in Word options, or something in the control panel subheadings), or what I may have done recently and it has appeared again.

I tried the local Microsoft store today, but they (their store employees) had not seen this before, nor knew how to resolve this.

Anyone else had this issue and managed to resolve it?

Word 2013 cursor not lining up after viewing in Web mode

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 04:24 PM PST

Weird problem: when viewing a document in Word 2013 in web mode, I am getting erratic behavior (for example, text disappearing after clicking a new paragraph).   When I click back to print mode, the cursor is wacky - when I click on a place in the document, the cursor looks like its 1 or 2 lines above or below it.  So, I can't see where I'm typing!  Incidentally, this is a document with a very long, multi page table (a list of definitions).  I am running Windows 8 x64 on a Surface Pro 2.

Linux sys as a ADSL router?

How else can you plug your ADSL line into your PC?

In the old days of dial-up, you needed a modem, right? Otherwise you
couldn't connect your PC to your phone line. Well, this is the broadband
equivalent. Either you need an ADSL modem or a cablemodem, but you
definitely need a modem.

You don't need an external one, if that's what you mean. I presume you can
get internal ADSL modems on PCI cards, though I've never looked as I'm on
cable.

As John says, it's easy with Debian. I've used a Debian PC as a router for

any info as it doesn't give you any, just brings up a unable to play message

a common prob with some laptops, there's a way around it by using a player,
