| Replace with nothing Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:36 PM PST Leaving the Replace With field blank says to replace the Find What contents with itself, except for formatting. But sometimes I want to replace the Find What contents with nothing. The only way I've found is to clear the Clipboard and in the Replace With field, choose Special > Clipboard Contents. There is probably an easier and more obvious way but I don't know what it is. ??

| Optimize a same document for different paper size (A4 size and smartphone screen) Posted: 25 Jan 2015 12:29 PM PST Hi, Does Microsoft Word has a way of optimizing a same document for viewing on desktop/tablet (Letter/A4 size) and mobile screen (say, iPhone screen)? For example, I want to have my fancy header and footer displayed when viewing on desktop/tablet but, when the document is viewed on iPhone, the header and footer is not shown so that content is display as much as possible in the small screen size. |
| Where did the ONLINE PICTURES option go in WORD? Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:32 AM PST A few weeks ago, I clicked on Insert:Online Pictures in Word and the only two options that appeared were a Bing Search Box and a One Drive (Personal). There WAS an additional option above these for Microsoft Online and now it has disappeared. Is this something I have done to my computer or something that can be fixed with a setting? It if helps-I am running Office 2013 from a Windows 8 operating system. It is comforting to known there were images to use without the hassle of accidentally engaging in copyright infringement through the Online Pictures Option and now this option has disappeared. We are unable to produce our flyers and educational powerpoints without this option. It diminishes (for me) the need for Word specifically for organizational purposes as a word processing software. However, I love it for writing research papers and collaborating with peers. I am forlorn. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a new practice in 2015 and I missed the memo? Thanks greatly to any responders. |
| word 2013 help - Error in instructions. Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:05 AM PST Trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts in Word 2013. I click on the "?" and get to word help. Enter "keyboard shortcuts," press enter.
At the Intro section, it says:
To expand all sections of the article, press TAB until Show all is selected, and then press ENTER. Press ENTER again to collapse all sections.
When I press and hold tab down, it just toggles through the whole document. When I press it once, it goes to the next heading. It never does show me a command "show all." But, if I expand the first section "finding and using keyboard shortcuts," it expands all of the sections. Clearly not what the instruction says. Also, if I hit SHIFT-TAB, it expands all sections and goes to the bottom of the page. Hitting tab again takes me to an unnamed icon, which collapses the whole article. Maybe that is the mystery "show all" icon, but not likely, as it doesn't appear until all sections are expanded. My take is that whoever is doing the help section needs more than a little bit of proofreading and testing, particularly from the point of view of people unfamiliar with the program. (I am in no way a newbie, but found this process to be quite frustrating.)
I may just be a creature of habit, but I also miss the table of contents. |
| Can't run apps because "all online content in Office is blocked" Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:54 AM PST How do I unblock it? It says Go the the Trust Center to change your privacy settings, but I can't figure out what to change. I've tried changing the settings that sound like they apply, but nothing works. I'm trying to run the Merriam-Webster Dictionary so that when I right click on a word a select "Define" it pops up to the right with definitions, synonyms, etc. |
| highlighting text copies it to clipboard Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:29 AM PST a weird bug just started showing up in Microsoft Word. I'm using office 2013 in Windows 8 64-bit. Suddenly, just highlighting text copies it to the clipboard, which means that I can't copy a piece of text, highlight what I run to replace, and hit paste – it just shows me what I highlighted. I've looked through the program and searched and can't seem to find any sort of option to enable or disable this. it's wasting a lot of my time. Any of you smart folks out there know how to fix it? |
| how to turn off flashing grey highlight when navigating through a document Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:25 AM PST Just installed Word 2013, not the 365 version. When I navigate through a document (for example arrow up), the entire document above where my cursor is highlighted in grey, for a flash, and then goes away.
Visually, this is very distracting. I just want to be able to arrow up and have the cursor go up the document without anything else being highlighted or greyed or anything.
How do I turn off this "feature?" Thanks in advance, |
| Word for iPad keeps trying and failing to connect Posted: 25 Jan 2015 08:38 AM PST I've been using word for iPad for months. Recently, when trying to save to one drive, the software will try to connect, then stop, then restart, over and over. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCAFXclpLjE The the onedrive client for iPad office apps (and not the onedrive app itself) has never been able to navigate down the directory tree, but at least it would let me save in the root directory so I could later move it. Now, it won't even do that much :/ |
| Word start up problem. Posted: 25 Jan 2015 07:28 AM PST Microsoft Word 2013 will begin to load and then present an error message that Microsoft Word has encountered a problem. The error asks if you would like to repair now but when you select "Repair Now" it does not work. Can anyone help? |
| Office 2007 help files do not display properly Posted: 25 Jan 2015 07:27 AM PST My local computer help files in Office 2007 are not displaying properly. The html source is shown and the message
This message might not be displayed properly. The content of the webpage does not match the type specified by the server.Click for options.
If I click and select Show Restricted Content, the page renders properly. However I have to go through this process each time I request information. The ONLINE version of help also displays the same message briefly but then renders the correct information.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and also have Office 2000 installed. I have tried
1. Renaming Microsoft Help folder in Program Data and then using Office diagnose and repair. This rebuilt the Help file but did not eliminate the problem.
2. Uninstalling Office 7 and Reinstalling it. This did not help.
3. Adding office http://office.microsoft.com and https://office.microsoft.com to trusted internet sites in Internet Explorer. This did not help. Is there some fix for this?

| iPad apps keep signing out Posted: 25 Jan 2015 06:42 AM PST Every time I open Word on my iPad, it is not logged-in to my 365 account. When I log-in, it works, but if I leave the app and come back, sure enough, I'm logged-out again. This is PAINFUL, since the login process is so laborious. This didn't used to happen, seems only in the last few weeks. I'm running the current iOS and apps (no updates available for either). this relates to the iPad, but I had to select "iPhone" in the drop down box when posting this question, since iPad is bizarrely absent from the list. |

| Header not showing up when opening a new document Posted: 25 Jan 2015 05:15 AM PST When I open a new document, my header has disappear. If I view the document in page preview, I can see it. But to see it in page layout view, I have to go to "insert header" and then it appears. Can someone tell me what I might have inadvertently checked or unchecked. I tried making changes to the normal template (opened up the normal template, inserted the header and then saved it, but when I open up a new document, I still can't see the header.) Any help would be appreciated.

| Words are not wrapping even to bottom margin Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:52 AM PST Hello: I'm working on a novel with no images inside...strictly words, and the text is not wrapping down to the bottom margin. I'm having to break up paragraphs to fill up that space because Word is somehow taking that whole paragraph and putting it on the next page as a whole, not wrapping the text onto the next page. For example, I'll have a long paragraph: I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as I headed in the direction of the village. Fear kept me going although my legs now felt like jelly. I still hoped this was but just a dream. I pinched myself and I felt pain. This wasn't a dream. At least I knew why the murderer was after my life. But what about the other two? It won't just fill up that last line on the bottom of the page with, for instance, this section below (it's a 5 X 8 book size), and put the remainder of that paragraph on the next page. I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as It's taking the whole paragraph over into the next page, creating a big blank space on the previous page. Is there some setting that I can turn this off? Thanks to everyone who answers! I'm using Word 2013. |

| How can I show cancellation in fractions using "Equation"? Posted: 24 Jan 2015 03:40 PM PST Consider 
I am using Equation in Word07. How do I show the 'x's I cancelled? On a whiteboard I would draw 'slash' through them. I don't see that in Equation. Have I missed something simple again? :( |
| Insert Clip Art Issue Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:23 AM PST When going to the Insert tab and choosing Online Pictures, the option to insert or search for clip art is not shown. I have performed an Online Repair. I have talked with two Microsoft representatives. The second wanted me to pay for him to remotely assist me and perform a troubleshoot. He told me he would send me links on how to troubleshoot by myself for free, but never did. |
