Outlook and Word keep crashing on Windows 8

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 02:47 PM PST

I looked through your threads about Outlook and Word crashing. I opened Winword in Safe mode and it still crashed. It says:

We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that prevents it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result.

Would you like us to repair now?

And the choices are - Repair Now, Help, Close

The same thing happens with Outlook. This didn't used to happen until recently (like only in January). So far excel seems to be doing ok.

Please help!

Thanks!

How to graph quadratic equations on Word 10

Need to graph quadratic equations in the standard form Ax(squared)+Bx+C=0 using Word 10.  My Word toolbar has, under the insert tap, table and tables.  And under "tables" there is a "Excel Spreadsheet."  Can this be used?

Help with Word 2007 Recovery from Cryptowall 2.0

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:52 AM PST

A few months back, my computer was infected with Cryptowall 2.0 a ransomware virus that makes an encrypted copy of certain files, deletes the original files and then demands a ransom to unlock the encryption.  I was able to remove the virus without paying the ransom, but not before the damage was done to all of my documents.  Luckily, the computer was relatively new and I didn't lose a lot, but I have a lingering problem with Word 2007, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

I can create and open documents just fine.  I can edit a header or footer by hovering over the header or footer, right-clicking and selecting "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer"  However, if I go through the menu: INSERT >> HEADER (or FOOTER) I get the popup decrypt instructions left over from the cryptowall attack, which gives instructions on how to pay the ransom.  I get the same popup if I select INSERT >> TEXT BOX (or QUICK PARTS)

When

When this appears, I can click OK or Cancel or click the X and it gives me popups for a couple of gyrations.

During the first gyration, when I click OK there is an error message that Word cannot open this document template. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.TXT

When I click OK on that message, I get another popup:

If I click OK I get a message that: The add-in template is not valid. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.URL

If I click OK on this one I finally get the menu item I selected and am able to proceed.  From that point on, I can use any of the menu items as I normally would, and I can create new documents and I'm able to use the menu normally.  So, it's a problem that repeats only when I close and reopen Word.

I haven't noticed any problem with other sections of the menu, although I haven't tested every function.

I've tried uninstalling Word 2007 completely and reinstalling from an uncorrupted source, but it didn't help.  

One of the aftereffects of this attack is that my computer had numerous instances of the text file and URL files referenced above, in all sorts of directories.  I have removed them, but the Word problem still persists

Any suggestions of what I might try next?  Thank you for your help!

Word for iPad and Apple QuickType?

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:00 AM PST

I created a new Word document on my iPad and typed in a few paragraphs.  The document autosaved to OneDrive.

Later, I opened the document in Word 2013 on my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 3.  A few words were missing in the middle of sentences.  Here's an example...

Should be: "I am here because I am going to the gym."

Word document has: "I am here because   going   ."

I think it's because I added the missing words with QuickType.  (That's the keyboard accelerator in iOS8 that predicts what word you want next.)  I went back to my iPad, and it re-downloaded the file from OneDrive, and the words were now missing on iPad.  I am confident they were there in the original version.  These were also not the last words I entered, so I doubt it's just a failure to save the last few edits.

I'm using Word 1.5.2 for iPad, posted Jan 21, 2015.  I tested this again with a new, second document, and a similar problem occurred.

This seems like a bug, but I'm wondering if I just have something misconfigured somewhere, or if something is wrong with my iPad.  Anybody else seeing this?

How to keep formatting when pasting between 2 Word 2007 documents

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:30 AM PST

I do a lot of copy and pasting between documents in Word 2007.  I need the pasted dialogue to use the Styles of the document I'm pasting into.  Is there any way to set my options so that pasting will always use the Use Destination Styles instead of Keep Source Formatting?

As you can see I do have my Word Options set to Keep Source Formatting (Default).

However, unless I use the copy formatting button pasted selections always show up with no formatting.  Does anyone know how I can make pasting always use Destination Styles without having to go through using that little button every time?

Desktop Backgrounds - Adapting Square Pics to Rectangular

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:02 AM PST

Office 2010 - Windows-7 x64

********

We have pictures of grandchildren we want to add to the Desktop Background. Horizontal Pixels 540 - Vertical Pixels 596.

This is a problem as the monitor is rectangular, monitor size 1920 x 1080.

A way around this would be to centre the picture and add wide, white colored margins to both sides of the picture.

This does not appear possible in either Paint or Microsoft Office 2010. Short of printing the picture and photographing it on a larger white background, then cropping. All of which is both tedious and will lose picture resolution.

Any ideas? 

Auto spacing before or after paragraph. What does it mean?

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 08:39 AM PST

I would have thought that Word's Help system would answer this question, but it does not.

In Word 2013 (as well as all versions before it), one can set the spacing before or after a paragraph as Auto.

What does Auto do? How much spacing is used? Does the spacing depend upon the font size? Does it depend upon the corresponding settings for the previous or the following paragraph?

What is the exact definition?

Thanks,

Van

Content Controls, Another flaw exposed and general rantings

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 08:13 AM PST

Despite long unresolved general shortcomings (due INHO to shortsightedness on MS behalf), I remain a staunch advocate of Content Controls.  Today, and I'm surprised not much sooner, I was made aware of a serious flaw with Repeating Section content controls introduced in Word 2013.   As the following post/reply in the Word Answer forum illustrates, the association with Repeating Section CCs and restricted or protected forms appears to be broken:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-customize/repeating-section-content-controls-and-restrict/66760ab6-7b92-4791-a316-ecd4cb52f89d

It seems reasonable that a fully functional Repeating Section content control should be easily associated with a restricted form.

Assume, I create a two column table and put fixed text in column one e.g., "Dependent's Name:"  and a plain text content control in column two e.g., "Click here to enter."  I then wrap the table in a repeating section content control.  Then make the RS CC a editable region, then restrict editing.  Ideally, the user should be able to add new section and fill in the content controls in each section, but the fixed text should be locked and not editable by the user.

It simply doesn't work that way.  In fact, it doesn't work at all unless one takes the pains to replicate the convoluted process explained in the post above.  That process, while working,  the CC "content control cannot be edited" property is not under the umbrella of any password the document designer might apply to the editing restriction therefore exposing the form to potential tampering by the user.

If Microsoft has an ear, let them hear.  You've been tinkering with CCs for going on 10 years, but still you've left them half baked.  Here are some things I would like to see fixed.  Others reading, please add to the list:

1.  You've given us an OnEntry and OnExit event.  Now give us a change event.  If a novice VBA dabbler like myself can cobble together a custom change event, then surely your pool of wizards and improve it:  http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_control_custom_events.html

2.  You've given us a pseudo change event when working with Dropdown List or Combo Boxes and a CustomXMLPart (ContentControlBeforeContentUpdate), but you don't let us have access to the document object while in the event.  For example, it would be nice if while the event is executed (e.g., changing a dropdown from "Yes" to "No" that we could show or hide text in a document, or jump to a new location, or change the cell shading of a table cell, etc.

3.  Fix the incomprehensively stupid behavior of CC placeholder text showing up in printed documents.  After all how do you "Click here to enter text" on a printed page.

4.  Fix the association of Repeating Section CCs and restricted forms.

Thanks.

Text wrap around image not working

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 03:39 AM PST

I have been using word for any years (2003, 2007, 2010) and currently use word in office 365.  I know how to wrap text around a photo or image and have never had a problem before.  Although I have encountered one now.  I cannot get the words in the text box to wrap around a photo or image.  I have tried tight, square, in line, both with the text box and the image.  I've tried bringing them forward and backward.  I'm googled the answer and still cannot get it work.  This is actually driving me crazy because I know how to do it but it's just not working. 

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

Volume Licensing question

Posted: 18 Jun 2008 07:23 AM PDT

You need to edit the file Setup.ini as follows:

[Options]
; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties.
;USERNAME=Customer
;COMPANYNAME=my company
;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp
PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY

The last item (PIDKEY) us where you enter your VLK and then you are
done. The file should be on your Office 2003 CD (\FILES\SETUP subfolder).


If you are installing Office 2003 from a network share then first copy
the entire CD on the network and then edit the file setup.ini. If you
are going to supply the CD to individuals, then you will need to copy
the entire CD somewhere on your system, edit the said file, then burn
the complete contents on CDs

Office 2007 and dictionary for Outlook Express 6

Posted: 18 Jun 2008 05:53 AM PDT

Hi T.,

The 'French only' speller occurs in MS Internet Explorer's email/news client, Outlook Express, which isn't a part of Office and
never had
its own spell check capability.

The English language proofing tools in Office 2007 are new and include some context spelling error capabilities, however the
Windows/Internet Explorer teams have chosen to not update (at least not yet <g>) Outlook Express to recognize the new Office 2007
English language Proofing Tools.
There are a number of 3rd party add-ins for Outlook Express that folks without Office have used and they should work in Outlook
Express as well.

Here are a couple that folks have reported work for them. The 2nd one has links to spellers for other than U.S. English (although
with some qualifications).

A. Vampirefo Spellchecker for Outlook Express:
http://geocities.com/vampirefo/

B. Tinyspell: (has separate U.K. English module if needed)
http://tinyspell.m6.net

Hi there,

After install of Office 2007 to our group via SMS we notice Outlook Express
users no longer have an english dictionary... French is there, but no
english...

Is this by design or a bug??? Seems odd to take out English dictionary,
and leave the French one...

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party spell checker for outlook Express, or
is there a fix for this from MS??

I guess we could tell everyone that all email correspondence now has to be
in French... ;o)

Dcpromo a dc to a member server with Exchange installed

Posted: 21 Jun 2008 10:18 PM PDT

To demote the DC running Exchange you are going to need to move / remove
Exchange first, then demote it.
At that point you could rebuild it from scratch, make it a member server,
then install Exchange and move everything back.
But bottom line is you cannot demote a DC that has Exchange on it. It has to
be removed first.

Exchange SAN/NAS

Posted: 20 Jun 2008 07:38 AM PDT

As an added point, a lot of devices can do both. SAN accesses LUNs via
block level protocols (SCSI or SCSI encapsulated in something else, ie iSCSI
for instance), while NAS accesses files via file level protocols like CIFS
or NFS. As an example the IBM N series, marketed as NAS, in fact does both;
it can present LUNs via iSCSI or FCP and it can also present file shares via
CIFS and NFS. For Exchange, you want to connect to LUNs via block level
protocols. For the MS stance on iSCSI and Exchange, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839686/en-us.

It's definitely worth your time to sit down and have a discussion with your
storage partner.

Restrict editing- create a read-only document that others can save as and then edit

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 11:43 AM PST

My goal- Have a protected legal document that only I can edit with a password.  Yet others can open it and view it.  If they want to then create a new document based on mine (using Save As), they should be able to do that without having to enter my password.

The problem- I have protected my document using the restrict editing function.  When I want to edit it any part of it I have to enter the password to unprotect.  That is fine.  However, when someone else opens it, saves it as a new document, then tries to use it as a template (edit it), they also need my password to do so.  This defeats the purpose.

Is there a way around this?

How to insert organized and good looking photos?

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:57 AM PST

Hi

Years ago I was adviced to use tables to help organize the photos I add to my Word documents and so I've done since then, usually in 2 columns. The problem I have is that the cells on the table tend to distort when I add a photo, they extend and contract and seem to leave some empty spaces on the borders of the photos.

So is there a way I can have the size of the cells fixed? Other advice regarding margins, etc is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

How to create a macro in a word 2010 document that uses content controls and grouping instead of protecting it

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:20 AM PST

I have a form where I created a macro button in the Quick Access toolbar that will delete whatever section the cursor is in. It unlocked and ungroups the content controls in that section and then deletes it and the form goes back out of developer mode. I need to do this unlocking in order to insert a section that I saved as an AutoText so the user can re-insert certain sections if needed. I just don't know the code to be able to make it work. Right now, all it does is switch the form into developer mode. It won't insert my AutoText and go out of developer mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my code I got when recording the steps that I want to do. It just isn't working.

Office 2013 themes missing

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 09:04 AM PST

I now have a total of only 9 themes in Office 2013.  In the past there were dozens.  I teach a class on Microsoft Office and when students are asked to use a certain theme, they aren't finding them.  What happened?

Default Personal Templates vs. User Templates

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:09 AM PST

Someone wrote to me about the "Default Personal Templates" designation vs. the "User Templates" location. This was after reading Templates in Microsoft Word .

"The whole reason I'm reading your tutorial (and searching the web, unsuccessfully), is to learn what the difference/relationship is between File/Options/Save/'Default personal templates location:' and File/Options/Advanced/File Locations/'User Templates'"

The Default Personal Templates location was introduced with Word 2013 / 365 to cure what I feel was a defect in Word 2007-2010 where the default save location for new templates was the document save location.

I believe that the former is, under the Options > Save dialog, a default location to save new user templates. The second is the location that is where the normal.dotm template is stored/created.

My general preference would be to have these be the same location.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Here are the option screens involved.


Error Message RE: Normal.dotm global template

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:59 AM PST

I have an HP Pavilion DM4-3050us laptop which is running Windows 7.  Whenever I create a document in Word 2010, save the document, and try to close Word, I get the following message:  Changes have been made that affect the global template Normal.dotm.  Do you want to save those messages.  I then have a Save, Don't Save, or Cancel button to click on.  How do  resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Save a Document with Collapsed Headings

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have created a Word document that contains collapsible headings. I want all of the headings to be collapsed when opening the document, but I can't seem to save the document this way. No matter how I save, all of the sections are expanded when I first open the document.

Is there a setting where I can change the default to "Collapse All Headers on Open"?

Thanks for your help!

Repeating section, content controls, and restrict editing not working as expected in Office 2013

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:50 AM PST

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Create a table with multiple columns and rows containing content controls (the mix of controls doesn't matter--my example uses text boxes and combo boxes).
  2. Select the table and make it a repeating section.
  3. Restrict editing to Filling in forms.
  4. Save the file as a template (dotx).
  5. Open an instance and attempt to select any of the content controls for editing. You will be unable to.
  6. Select a non-content control item, for example, the ITEM TYPE label shown above. You will be able to edit the text.
  7. Open the template for editing and turn off Restrict Editing.
  8. Open an instance performing the same test as above. Everything works as expected.

This is a fairly high priority issue. We (and many other corporations I am personally aware of) are in the midst of replacing all of our InfoPath forms (with it being deprecated in the future) with Word forms. Obviously, repeating sections as well as working document protections are key. Currently, I have a programmatic work-around but would prefer not to go that route as it adds substantially to form maintenance costs over time.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Cant open MS word 97 with office xp professional 2002 in windows 8.1

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:40 AM PST

Just bought a Lenovo laptop with windows 8.1. I have installed MS office xp professional version 2002 (which Im told is compatible) but whenever I receive a MS word 2007 document it converts to docx and only opens as symbols. As I have quite a few folk who email me documents in this format it is becoming a problem. Any ideas?

Proofing tools not working on freshly installed Win 7 and Office 365

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:18 AM PST

OK, so I have a really strange problem with the proofing tools so I'll try to describe what happened it in detail.

1) Running Windows 7 and Office 365 proofing tools suddenly stopped working. Later - for other reasons - I did a clean reinstall of Windows. (I'm not sure how relevant this information is.)

2) On the freshly installed Win 7 SP1 64-bit I installed the en-us version of Office 365 ProPlus 64-bit. I have downloaded the 64-bit proofing tools for German, Hungarian and Italian but none of them worked. (Symptoms: in language preferences the spell check is "not installed". However, in the language selection window e.g. in Word the little abc tick is present next to these languages.)

3) Probably this was a real bad idea but I tried installing the 32-bit proofing tools for German. No changes.

4)  Completely uninstalled each proofing tool and Office. Reinstalled Office 32-bit and 32-bit proofing tools. They still didn't work. 

5) Removed proofing tools and installed the German, Hungarian and Italian versions of Office 32-bit. Spell checking was alright for all of these languages, except for German.

6) The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\de-de is not present. I uninstalled everything and deleted all registry keys I could find for the proofing in hu, de and it. 

7) Reinstalled Office 64-bit en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools worked only for the languages included in the English language pack. Uninstalled everything.

8) Reinstalled Office 32-bit. en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools work fine, except for the German one, again.

Notes: Neither online repair nor quick repair fixed the problems. Uninstalls ran with either Iobit Uninstaller or this Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501.

I googled this issue for days but I couldn't find any solution. My only guess is that the previously installed proofing tools interfere with the Office suites in some way but I can't figure out what's wrong. I would be also quite pleased if the simple proofing tools worked, I don't really need Office in three languages. The strange thing is that they actually stopped working before I reinstalled the whole Windows so maybe some corrupt files are being synchronized with my account. I looked at the Office files in AppData/Roaming but they seem normal to me. 

I would be really thankful if you could provide me some help with this problem because the German spell check is actually the one I need the most. 

Thank you!

How to format sample code in Microsoft Word 2013 so that when exported to .mht HTML, it will copy-and-paste nicely into a Unix terminal session

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:04 AM PST

I'm working on tidying up some hands-on instructions for an internal class in how to use my company's software. The instructions are written by number of authors, in Microsoft Word 2013, and are then exported to HTML or Microsoft 'Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml)' format. It's horrible, ugly HTML, but it is very easy for the authors (who are technical but not primarily web developers!) to create richly formatted, non-editable documents for the hands-on instructions.

I have a problem with blocks of sample code in the resulting .mht documents. The authors format these blocks of code (in Word) to look like code at a Unix command prompt, or in a UNIX script. When saved to .mht, they retain their formatting (at the expense of rather bloated HTML), and students attending the class are meant to copy fragments of code from the resulting .mht doc, and paste it into a Unix terminal window, either at a command prompt, or into a text editor such as vi.

But most of the time, for every line of text/sample code in the Word/.mht doc, they get two lines - *that line plus one extra blank line* - in the pasted text in the terminal window. For example, some code which is shown in the Word doc like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    some command
    another command

...ends up looking like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    some command
    
    another command

It's no big deal for 3-line code fragments, but it's a major pain in the proverbial for anything much over 10 lines - the students can only see half the usual amount of code on screen at a time, and it's all interspersed with pointless blank lines!

The cause seems to be related to the way Word converts text to HTML in the .mht file. (If you copy-and-paste the text direct from the Word doc into a Unix prompt, it pastes just fine, without gaining unwanted blank lines). However, in the .mht file, every line in the original Word doc ends up as a separate paragraph tag (<p>line</p>) in the .mht HTML, and Word seems to add an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each, which I'm pretty sure is the bit responsible for the extra, unwanted blank line after each original line.

I've tried editing the original text block in Word, replacing the Paragraph character (¶) at the end of each 'line' (so, each line is really a paragraph in Word's view of the doc) with a 'Manual Line Break'. When copied-and-pasted directly from the Word doc into the Unix terminal window, this still pastes nicely (as it did with a Paragraph Mark ¶ at the end of each line), but when the doc is saved as .mht, the resulting HTML in that format still has each line as a separate paragraph (<p>line</p>), still with an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each one. When this is copied and pasted into the terminal window, the student still gets blank lines.

Any suggestions as to how I can format the text in word to:
a.) still look approximately like code in a terminal window (font, background color, indent formatting applied)
b.) when exported to .mht, be represented with something like <span>line</span> tags, and without the extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each line so that one line of text in the doc results in one line of text in the terminal window?

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Disable printing of an picture with picture content controls (switching the picture)

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:40 PM PST

Hello,

in a letter with an logo I want to disable the printing of that logo sometimes.
The only way I have found so far is using picture content controls. One with the logo and an empty one. What is the simplest way to switch between the two overlaid content controls?

Should be simple for the user (not just "send to background/foreground" via the context menu) - e. g. a button. Any hints are highly appreciated.

Many thanks and greetings

INSTALL 2007 OFFICE ON PARTITION

Posted: 10 Jun 2008 07:55 PM PDT

Hi Bob, Thank you for your reply. When I put my office disk in the drive, it
gives me no options other than install. It does not say where do you want the
program installed, it simply wanders off and does its thing.... I am happy
all parts of office live together, but I want them in a partition on my hard
drive where I keep all my general software. Is there a way I can get to a
custom install, eg, load manually from the run command?

Regards

Geoff

For Office 2007 Enterprise purchased from your employer through the Home program, then you need to contact the IT person at the employer of your husband since they hold the full license and they have the address and the way to download it

Can U install Office Enterprise 2007 when U have 2003 Professional

Posted: 08 Jun 2008 12:28 AM PDT

The Microsoft Windows XP that the error message is pointing to is your
Operating system that "runs" all of the production software such as Office.

On your desktop right click My Computer then left click on properties. If
it does not say in the box that opens:

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition (or Pro Edition)
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

or if it doesn't say Microsoft Vista instead of Microsoft Windows XP, you
can not install or run Office 2007.

If it says Service Pack 1 with XP above it you need to update your computer
by using Windows Update (Click Start, Windows Update and run at least the
Recommended updates.

Office 2003 professional that you have installed will run on earlier
versions of Windows such as Windows XP SP 1 or even Windows 2000.

No, it shouldn't. I had to pay the price about three years ago. I was

*could* be replaced. $30 is a small price to pay for my negligence.
