Microsoft Word - Office 365 REALLY Slow

Microsoft Word - Office 365 REALLY Slow

Office 365 REALLY Slow

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 02:20 PM PST

I know this is already addressed, but nothing I read really helps me.  I have office 365.  I run windows 8.1.  I have my documents on the computer and cloud (one drive).  It takes forever for one character to appear.  I type a sentence and it's five minutes before it is on the page.  In the meantime I can't move around in the document.  Sometimes it saves and I can't do anything.  I have to write a lot of documents and this is cutting my productivity in half.  What on earth can I do.  (Note, I am not a techie and so please explain your responses in lay person terms.  I have checked my computer basically and no malware or viruses, etc and everything is runniing fine.  This slowness is the norm, but occasionally office runs fine.  I have this problem in Word.  Thanks to whatever help you can give me.

Hi,

I'd like to change the black shortcut letters that appear on the ribbon when I use the keyboard to navigate the ribbon (see image). Is this customizable?

Thank you.

Save as PDF Vs. Acrobat Tab

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 01:09 PM PST

Hello,

I have the capability to do 'save as PDF', and I also have the Acrobat tab. I've never had an Acrobat tab before. I am wondering, and haven't been able to really find answers to, what the differences are between the Acrobat tab and the 'save as PDF' is?

I get there are additional functions that can be done with the Acrobat tab, but is there any difference between using the Acrobat tab or the 'save as PDF' option to change a document in to a PDF document?

bottom of page issues

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 11:59 AM PST

I have 2 inches of white space at the bottom of the page and can't seem to use it.  Word keeps pushing text to the next page.  Basically, it is signature info for letters like this:

John Doe

JD:jd

Enclosures

I try to get initials and enclosure on the same page but nothing works.  There is no footer that is causing the problem.  The only way I can use the space seems to be to create a text box, add the text and then position it on the page below the name.  I am pretty sure that is not the correct way but at least it works.  what setting am I missing?

Hitting tab key inserts multiple periods plus tab indent

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 11:21 AM PST

I copied and the pasted as plain non-formatted text an excerpt from another document. Paragraphs are set to 0 leading / trailing, single line spacing, no indent.  For some reason Word is insisting on inserting multiple periods into the document when I hit the tab key instead of just indenting the text.

So instead of getting

"January 15, 1957                                     Doors opened for business"

I get

"January 15, 1957 ..........................................  Doors opened for business"

Deleting the periods gives me

"January 15, 1957Doors opened for business"

Why? How can this be prevented?

Dropdown Calculations, Weird work around???

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:53 AM PST

So after a few hours trying to find the answer, I've finally came to the point were I'm just going to ask if it is even possible with word and if so how.

 

I'm making a word form (To be filled out by someone); I'm trying to calculate their answers based on the answer given.  Best way to describe what I mean is to show you

 

Here is an example of what I'm doing

Dropdown list has the options 1 - Star, 2 - Star, 3 - Star, 4 - Star and 5 - Star

The user filling out the form selects a star for each dropdown list; lets say I have 5 dropdown list.

I want to calculate in a field how many 5 stars were given in those 5-dropdown lists, and then in another field how many 4 stars were given in those 5-dropdown lists.

 

So lets say the person filling out the form puts this in the form.

 

Drop box 1: 5 - Star

Drop box 2: 4 - Star

Drop box 3: 5 - Star

Drop box 4: 3 - Star

Drop box 5: 4 - Star

 

Now I have a field set up at the top that says

 

5 - Star: 

4 - Star: 

3 - Star: 

2 - Star: 

1 - Star: 

 

In the field for the 5 star, I want it to calculate how many 5 stars were given in those drop boxes.  For this the answer would be 2.  Then on the 4 star field calculate again and give the number of 4 stars from the drop boxes (2).

 

There must be a way to do this, I'm hoping that someone knows the answer because the actual form has dropdown list of about 75 and it takes forever to calculate everything.

 

Also I'm putting this in the Mac forms because that is my main computer but I have access to Windows version of word through Bootcamp, so If you can't on mac but can on Windows that will work for me.

Footnotes do not restart at 1 in a new section

Linked Files not updating in a linked document

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:36 AM PST

I have created a 10-page file where each page is linked from an independent single-page file.

I have since made a test edit to one of the original single-page files that is NOT showing as updated in the linked 10-page file.

When I open the 10-page file, this pop-up appears with a Yes/No option:

"This document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?"

I click Yes. However, I do not see the update that I made to the original file reflected.

I have also gone into File-->Info-->Edit Links to Files and made sure that all of the linked files are set to "Auto" update.

Saving issues with file based off of a template

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:15 AM PST

How do I stop Word from asking if I want to update a template a file is based off of?

I have saved a file based on a macro-enabled template. When I make changes and click "Save" in the new file, Word always asks "Do you want to save changes to the document template?" If I just close the file, it asks if I want to save changes to that file (yes), and then "Do you want to save changes made to <template filename>".

Excel Object in Word

How can I get Word to recognize the additional lines and place on second page? Right now it stops at line 33. I thought of making the font even smaller than 8 - but it becomes unreadable

Reuse embedded spreadsheet data

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:29 AM PST

I have a word document that has a table in it that contains certain values, This table is an embedded spreadsheet. Later in the document, I would like to use this data to create a pie chart. I created the chart in the spreadsheet, but it is not displayed in the first instance of the spreadsheet. I copied the embedded link and pasted it later in the document and then changed it to show the chart. The problem is that I want the chart to update based on changes made in the table in the first instance of the spreadsheet, and the method I am using is not doing this. This seems like it should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out or find a solution on the internet. Is this possible?

read-only & permissions

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:39 PM PST

new install of  Win 8.1 and  Office 2013 (from Win 7 & Office 2010).  only me using the pc.

I save a lot of my docs to a USB HardDrive (E:) and work off them from there; but now when i want to work on them from E: they become read-only and "we can't save this file because it's read only" (even with the restrict editing is all off)  and also get message like "you don't have permission to save to this location; contact the administrator to obtain permission"

Is there anyway to kill this forced 'read-only' and 'permissions needed' things ?    

If its too complicate i guess best just to go back to Office 2010.

Thanks for any ideas you can give me

Is there a way to change a style globally on all old Word 10 documents?

How can I get Word to give me the word count when it is restored (down)?

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:48 PM PST

Not sure how to describe this. Often, when I open a Word document, I want to see the word count. I can see it easily enough when it is maximized; but when it is only half the screen (what is called Restored?), I can't see it. I can see a few other statistics about the document, when it is restored, but not the word count.

EDIT: OK I see that I can push the word count towards the left of the document window (whether it is restored or maximized) by removing items that MS Word is set to tell me along that bottom row. 

I suppose I can live with that, but is there another way to get Word to give me the word count, without removing more and more items to the left of the Word Count?

Custom Office background theme?

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:46 PM PST

Is there a way for me to add custom images or themes to the office background? I'm not talking about the white, light gray, or gray colors, but the themes like lunchbox, circuits, clouds, etc. I'm tired of staring at the gray border because honestly, it's a bit dull and by adding a custom background, it would definitely spruce things up.

Wireless network setup

Posted: 22 Aug 2009 07:59 AM PDT

Neil Jones wrote:
 

iwconfig is for setting wireless parameters of the link level,
not the IP address.
 

No. It's all configured in userspace.
 

To use WPA you need wpa_supplicant. It comes with all major Linux
distributions.

Here's a quick guide, for how to do it completely manually:

Linux doesn't mandate a specific naming convention for network
interfaces, driver writers can choose anything they want. So
first find out which your wireless interfaces are, by simply
typing iwconfig on a root shell.

On my laptop (narfi) this gives:

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

pan0 no wireless extensions.

Not surprising the interface "wlan0" is a wireless interface.

If there's no interface showing up with wireless extensions, then you
* don't have the driver loaded
or
* your installtion misses the firmware files
or
* your wireless hardware is not (yet) supported by Linux

If you were about to connect to a public, unprotected access point,
you would use iwconfig to setup the interface e.g.:

iwconfig wlan0 ssid "HotSpot" enc off

To use WPA you must configure your wpa_supplicant. You can either do
this by using its GUI "wpa_gui" - this is quite self explanatory, I
don't think I've to explain that one, wpa_supplicant must be started
before starting wpa_gui though.

Or you're creating the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
by hand. Use this template:

--- BEGIN /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ---

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

network={
ssid="..." # your SSID
proto=WPA2 WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="..." # put your WPA password here
}

--- END ---

You can then start wpa_supplicant on the wireless interface:

/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -iwlan0 -P/var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.pid

wpa_supplicant will background. To see what's going on start wpa_cli.

Once the connection is made you can configure the address of your interface.
In case of DHCP it's easy as, depending on which of dhcpcd or dhclient are
installed.

dhcpcd wlan0

or

dhclient wlan0

For static IP configuration use

ip addr add $ADDRESS/$NETBITS dev wlan0
ip route add default via $ROUTER dev wlan0
rm /etc/resolv.conf.new
for NS in $NAMESERVERS ; do echo "nameserver $NS" >> /etc/resolv.conf.new ; done
mv /etc/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf

e.g.

ip addr add 192.168.1.123/24 dev wlan0
ip route add default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0
rm /etc/resolv.conf.new
for NS in 192.168.1.253 192.168.1.252 ; do echo "nameserver $NS" >> /etc/resolv.conf.new ; done
mv /etc/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf

Of course all major distributions provide you with a convenient
configuration interface abstracting away all those gory details,
however this is specific to each distribution.
Just RTFM of the distribution you use.

really puts it out there for everyone to see. Not because we're

Exactly. Idiot's always take their own frustrations out on the wrong

Yep, and it's always the complete wierdos like Sid that lack a clue, and
they are too stupid to realize their arrogance is misplaced. Something
is just broken in his brain.
 

Right, I've seen it happen in another group or two. Usually though,
it's by the regulars there that think they control the place and a few
of them stick together and try and act like they speak for everyone.
Instead of anyone calling those regualr trolls on their bull,
people just felt better passing blame around for anyone that was
involved (regardless if you were just clarifying or defending
yourself), and it just allowed those trolls to take over the group
entirely. They still run the place, but I don't just ignore them
silently and arguing correctness with a troll will only drag out the
issue indefinitely, so I take a different approach. But, you know
what? They always give up and leave me alone, and any intelligent
poster will not hold it against me, else everyone can just be
complacent allowing the troll to run the place.

customisation to address that!
 

It is not just a bad reseller that is to blame but also microsoft.
They portray CRM as fully customisable to any business environment but
the simple fact is that it is either not that customisable or the
sheer overhead of implementing that customisation is so huge that you
would be better off using another product. As someone said in another
forum it works but only if you write your own database and own
interface so why use CRM? CRM has its place but that place is not as a
generic solution.
 

But now that New York is definitely on the horizon, I say "cheer up,

Titanic is an awesome leap forward

I'd like to think you're right, I hope you're right because we have a
commitment to CRM but until we can see some plausible evidence of a
better product (and evidence that we can present to customers) this is
just a phenomenal loss to us. We can put usable solutions in with this
but we have to swallow a far larger development overhead with CRM than
with any other solution and it is purely so that we can get our
clients used to the idea of microsoft CRM, not because it does
anything useful for them.

Hi Yexy, you might want to try the following;

1) Make sure there are no SQL Server or Microsoft CRM folders in ‘Program
Files’ folder (delete if any)

2) There are no reg entries for MSCRM or SQL Server (use RegEdit, navigate
to "HKEY_LocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\")

3) Search for a file called MSCRM.pst anywhere on your hard drive. Delete or
rename it if necessary.

That is there by design. That identifier is how the CRM Exchange Router
knows if/how to route an incoming e-mail. if you are not using the incoming
routing functionality, then you can turn it off (globally)....see below

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To verify the registry value on the Exchange Server, follow these steps: 1.
Log on using a user account that has administrator permissions on the

2. Click Start, click Run, type regedt32 and then click OK.
3. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\Messag eTagBehavior.
4. If the MessageTagBehavior subkey does not exist, create the key
using the following values: . Value Type: DWORD key value
. Value Name: MessageTagBehavior
. Value data: 0

Note: If the Value data is Null or 1, the tracking number will be
attached to the subject line of the e-mail messages. If the Value data is 0,
the tracking number is not attached to outgoing e-mail messages.
5. Close out of Registry Editor.
6. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools
and then click Services.
7. Right-click the Microsoft CRM Exchange Queue Service service and
then click Restart.
If the e-mail GUID is turned off, the Microsoft CRM system will no longer
generate the unique tracking number. Additionally, this causes the loss of
the Microsoft CRM system's ability to automatically track incoming e-mail

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:00 PM PST

Hi

I have been having some trouble with Word 365. Basically whenever I am editing a file that is saved on OneDrive, Word runs really slowly. It can take up to a minute for my typing to appear and is pretty much unusable, yet if I pause synching on OneDrive it all works fine. This problem has only started happening this week and I have changed nothing about my system in this time.

I have tried turning off background saves and animations but this has no effect and it is only Word that seems to be affected (I have also used Excel but there is no problem).

I was wondering if anyone here has seen this before and if anyone knows how to help?

Thanks in advance

Excel Linking in Word Not Holding Formatting When Update Link is Triggered in Word

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 01:31 PM PST

Not sure if this is a bug between Excel and Word, but each time we proceed with linking Excel to Work and try the update link option under right clicking. It will adjust the width of the cell off the screen.  

This is becoming increasingly frustrating to our users as they are in the middle of tax season preparing major reports and this is moving all their cells off the screen when they have to re-link items. 

We noticed this only started happening when we moved to Microsoft Office O365.  

Any suggestions? 

Thank you - Zak

How to get files to open automatically in Microsoft Word instead of Word Starter

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 01:08 PM PST

Prior to purchasing Word I temporarily used word starter.  Even after getting Word all my files continued to automatically save as word starter documents and anything that I opened up from online automatically opened with word starter instead of word.  I was unable to figure out how to resolve this issue so I deleted word starter.  Now I can not open any files.  I can not open files that are saved to my computer, links sent in emails or download word documents from my online school.  I have tried to reload word started and I can't get that to work either.

Please Help.

Thanks

preview pane causing word to open files in read only

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 11:48 AM PST

I have a user whose is in and out of a lot of word documents.  Whenever she opens a file from explorer with the preview pane open, it cause the document to be opened in read only mode.  If the pane is closed, then the files opens up just fine.

It would seem to me that when you to open a Word file via Windows Explorer and you have the Preview Pane open the first thing that will happen is that the preview window will start reading the file to display the preview of that file, in the meantime Word itself will also start reading the file.   the two process will conflict and Word will determine that it can't open the file for editing because the file is locked (by the preview window) and therefore Word will open the document as read-only.

 

I temporally resolved the issue by getting rid of the preview pane... but that isnt a solution.  I added all her mapped drives (where hte doc are stored) to the trusted sites, but that did nothing for the issue.

Any suggestions

The user is running windows 7, 64 bit.  The office install is a MSI of office 2013 pro plus


 

dictionary and thesaurus won't work in word 2007

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 11:22 AM PST

I am using a 32-bit Windows Vista Ultimate OS. When I highlight a word in Word 2007 and select 'look up' to open up the research column and get a definition, I am not able to get any information from the dictionary and/or thesaurus. I can arrow over to get synonyms, but I get a 'no results found' message in the research column.

It has been this way for awhile and I have not missed any updates. Is there something I can do to get it back?

Thank you.

MS Word Mail Merge to PDF

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 10:11 AM PST

I want to know how to merge files as pdf's with a specified file name....

In the PDF Maker - Mail Merge it has a place for me to "Specify the pdf name" (example NDC) but then when I export the files into a folder, the name will add numbers that I have no idea where they come from (example NDC1360)

How can we start from '1' or create a different naming methodology altogether?

I am not a programmer and do not understand code.

Word 365 keeps undoing "ignore all "command

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:41 AM PST

I am using Office 365 on Windows 8.1.  I am currently translating a book from French to English.  When I cite French works in the text of the document, I follow the French citation form, which includes obscure abbreviations.  I want spell check on as I work so I can correct errors in the English portions of the text, but these obscure French abbreviations get flagged as spelled incorrectly, so I click "ignore all" for them.  I close this document at the end of my translating day, then when I reopen it to begin work again, those same abbreviations are flagged.  Suffice it to say this is very annoying and a waste of my time.

How do I prevent spelling from being automatically rechecked and all my "ignore all" commands from being ignored or deleted from one session to another?  I would appreciate any help with this.  Thanks in advance.

Quick Access Toolbar Macro Buttons

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:13 AM PST

I have a word 2010 form that has macro buttons in the Quick Access Toolbar. One is to delete whatever section you are in (specifically the last 4 sections that are actually 4 separate forms). The other four are to insert a section (one of the 4 forms that may have been deleted). I recorded each macro, but they don't all seem to work correctly. Each of the 4 buttons to insert a section should go to the end of the document, insert a Next Page Break, insert the appropriate quick part for that section, edit the header and footer for that specific section to not link to the previous and be customized for that section. The problem I am running into is that the headers/footers are not working properly. I also think one of the macro buttons gives a Debug message. Can anyone take a look and help me out? Much appreciated!

macro changing read only view

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:04 AM PST

Hi,

I created a UseForm that fill information to a document fields using bookmarks. I created a macro document_open, everything works fine, but! 

I need the UseForm runing without be previously saved in a hard drive (opened directly from an email) but as the default setting open an email attachment in read-only mode, when the UserForm is filled it doesn't populate the fields in the document and error window appears. I know I can change this setting in general options, but when I send the document to the client I can't expect him to change his setting befor open my document. So my questions is what code shell I use to change the read-only view before run the UserForm.

Thank you

Format painter in Word 2013

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 10:49 PM PST

Is there a way of getting Format Painter to retain the italicize, bold and underline settings for words in the target paragraph?  Even if the source paragraph has any of its words with these settings, Format Painter reverses these settings in the target paragraph.

*.doc and *.docx Chart Problems/Compatibility Issues

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 10:26 PM PST

I need my documents to be in *doc. But, the line in the charts are crooked.

So I converted them to excel charts and saved the file as *docx, and the lines became smoother.

Since, I need the file to be in *doc, i saved the *docx file to *doc.
But the grid lines became thick, and I can't format it back to how it looked like in the docx file.

I'm using word 2010.
I'm not sure why the files need to be in *doc. I was simply required to use *doc format.

Thanks!

Adding page numbers in both the header and footer of the same page - Word 2010

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 09:25 PM PST

Hi,

I am trying to add  page numbers in the header and footer of the same page.

The header would contain page number X of Y to identify the section and the footer would contain the normal page number.

I added section breaks and unlinked the headers to stop the page numbers continuing from the previous section but kept the footers linked to continue the numbering from the previous page.

When I selected the header page numbering to start at 1, this applied the change to the footer as well.

And vice versa.

I want to know if it is possible to have two page numbers on the same page working independently of each other, and if so, how?

Otherwise I would have to manually type the X of Y page numbers and it would be a pain!

Building Block Bug Word 2010/2013

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 09:12 PM PST

While I did not do an exhaustive search, I couldn't fine where this issue has been discussed here before and as I find it incomprehensible to be by design, it must be a bug.

Using the Create New Building Block dialog (ALT+F3), you can create a building block with insert content options 1) Content Only, 2) Content in own paragraph, or 3) Content in own page. 

Insert a simple table (e.g., 2 x 2), select it, and create a building block named "testICpage" and select the option "insert content in own page.

If you use the Insert>QuickParts>Building Block Organizer dialog and insert the building block named "testICPage" it works fine.  The table is inserted in the document with a page break before and after the table.

However, if you simply type testICPage and press F3 to execute the entry the table is inserted at the current location (not in its own page) and worse, any existing text in the current paragraph is enclosed in cell one of the table.

Can anyone confirm this?  MVPs, can one of you ensure this is reported through your bug reporting system?  Thanks  

Recover a file saved in the Temp folder in Word 2013?

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 08:11 PM PST

I was working on a document downloaded from the internet and I kept saving it over the same file in the Temp folder, never closing Word. My sister used my computer and she closed the document, now it's nowhere to be found. It's not in the Temp folder, it's not under Unsaved files, it's not in Recent files, it's not found by the search function... Is there a chance to recover it?
