Microsoft Word - send to mail recipient icon not responsive

Microsoft Word - send to mail recipient icon not responsive

send to mail recipient icon not responsive

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:28 PM PST

As far as I'm aware i have followed every step to ensure my version of Microsoft word can send emails directly. However, the reality I face is that after adding the "send to mail Recipient" icon to the toolbar, it remains unresponsive. Every time I search online for a solution to this, it talks about outlook, which is unavailable on windows 8.1 (which I am currently using), and no where does it mention the mail app.

        Since I am a complete novice to windows 8.1, i may be missing something simple, but i have exhausted the length and breadth of this forum and found no solace in any answer provided. I am using Microsoft office home and student 2013 and i would appreciate anyone who could attempt to answer my prayers.

Thanks.

Saving a Word document.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:25 PM PST

When i save a Word document, it shows the document saved. However, about a third of the time it failed to save the latest changes. The problem seems systemic.

By that i mean, I save my documents to the hard drive and then to a smart stick. It happens on both devices. My documents are quite long, 60 to 90,000 words.

Data linked from Excel to Word (office 2010) won't stay linked.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 02:30 PM PST

I have information stored in an excel 2010 file that I need to link to a word doc. I've done this thousands of times before with no problem. I recently got a new computer (Windows 7) and suddenly my links won't stay linked. As soon as I close the word doc, the link breaks. Is there a setting I forgot to change or something? I don't understand why my links break as soon as I close the doc.

Form controls no longer working

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:46 PM PST

The controls within a previously created form in Word 2010 are no longer working.  I don't use the form frequently.  The last known date it worked was in Nov 2014 (it is now Feb 2015).  Is this a known issue?

How do I remove worthless save screen and use explorer directly with default directory.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:23 PM PST

Just wondering.Every time I go to save a document I get a screen where I have to manually pick the directory to save the file in.

How do I configure the software to go to a default directory and skip the worthless screen in the middle?

I bet I go through this more that 70+ times every day. Incredible annoying.

Tried to add a screen shot but no go. I am talking about the "Save" screen.

Why do programers add all the fofo, it serves no purpose other then looks. I need speed not fofo.

Thanks for any help.

Cant get heading panel in Word for mobile device to work properly

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:20 PM PST

Hello!

I am struggling in through Word for Mobile devices. I cant get the navigation (heading) panel to work properly. I assume there is a bug but I am not 100% shure.

The problem is the the heading panel is displaying not only the heading but also other text in document. I have a word document that works fine in desktop PC version (the navigation panel is displaying proper headings), but when I open it in word for mobile devices the headings in heading panel are mixed, the other text in the documents is also displaying there. Can you help me somebody? I also have example but cant post it along this post.

Macro to hide if 0.00

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:59 PM PST

Is there a macro or a way to hide the amounts on a document if it is 0? We need to keep everything else on that row, just hide the 0.00's. (see circled) We use this with Microsoft Dynamics GP, GP uses its report writer to generate reports and send XML data to Word to render the report.  Example of the document below. 

Microsoft Word integrated CRM, using MS Word 2013, Merging to a PDF Printer Driver

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:35 PM PST

We are using Maximizer CRM Live, which integrates with MS Word and is an Add-on to MS Word, for creating personalized letters containing User Defined Fields from the CRM that are embedded in MS Word documents. If we run a merge with a selected list of entries in our CRM, and select a network printer for the output, all of the entries will print to the network printer without any interruption.

 

The issue we are having is that we need to have a multiple entry merge from our CRM output as a single PDF file using a PDF Printer driver as the printer. When we select a PDF Printer (and we have tried at least a 6 so far including Adobe PDF Printer), we receive an on-screen message indicating the correct number of entries will be merged. Next, the Save As dialog appears and a file name and location is requested. All good so far.  The first entry will merge, but for the subsequent entries, the Save As dialog appears for each subsequent entry in the merge, requiring the User to enter a different name, otherwise overwriting the file. As our entries for the merge may sometimes include 50 or more entries, we need a way to append the balance of the entries to the first entry without having the User having to interact.

Is there a way to achieve the appending of the entries to one PDF file without interaction from the User?

Thanks in advance,

Randy

Macro for spell check doesn't always work.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:22 PM PST

I wrote a macro that I assigned to a button that turns on "check spelling as you type", but it doesn't always work because the spelling errors do not get highlighted.  Here's the macro:

Sub Macro1()
' Macro1 Macro
    Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = True
    Application.ScreenRefresh
End Sub

I emphasize that sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.  When it doesn't work I go to the Review tab>Spelling & Grammar>Options, and under the "Exceptions for:" heading I see that "Hide spelling errors in this document only" option is checked.  My macro doesn't have a command in it that checks this option.  How does this sometimes get checked, and how do I make it so it's never checked unless I check it myself?  Thank you.

Legal Pleading Template does not work

I have Windows 8.1, Office 365 Home, with MS Word 2013.  If I try to use the pleading paper template, the numbering and lines along the left side of the paper do not show in Print View, do not print, and do not convert to pdf.  How can I get the legal pleading template to actually work?  

Office 365 Word unstable

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:37 AM PST

Hello

I have a problem using Word, the cursor shows as a circle (like a 'wait' symbol) and continuously flashes, sometimes over where the typing point is, it makes it almost impossible to use and this could be a big problem as I bought this la[top and Windows 8.1 specifically for a project writing a book for the big screen.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

MIcrosoft chat support only wants to sell products

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:18 AM PST

Yesterday I had a situation with my Office 2010 product.  A unexpected and unsolicited Microsoft download apparently changed a printer setting unbeknownst to me.  After that download, I was working in Word and could not print a document.  I called the chat line for help.  They indicated that they needed a product key to look at the problem.  I mentioned it had been 4 years since purchasing Office 2010 and had no idea where the product key was.  Their only solution was for me to purchase Office 2013.  They didn't offer any solution other than a new sale for Microsoft.  That's great Support, don't even try to fix the problem, just sell new products.

The final solution came when I purchased Office 2013, uninstalled 2010 and installed 2013 and I still could not print.  I called Tech Support and this time spoke to someone who suggested checking the default on my printer.  Sure enough, the default setting had mysteriously changed.  The problem was solved in under 5 minutes.  And I, for better or worse, was taken for the price of Office 2013 by the Chat room.

Custom Bibliography Style

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 10:38 AM PST

I have created a custom bibliography style as per this link: "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj851016.aspx#Biblio_BuildBasicStyle". Yet the style does not show up in the "Styles" drop-down list under the "Referencing" tab in Word 2013. Why is it not showing up in the drop-down menu?

Uncooperative Page Numbering

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 09:29 AM PST

Hi,

I've been working away for weeks now trying to get the page numbers to count properly in a book that I'm writing, but I'm getting sick and tired of solving one problem only to be confronted by another. So at the moment, I have a number of problems which I need help working out what to do with. The initial problem was that the numbering kept re-starting because word had inserted random section breaks all over the place.

1. I'm trying to keep the first few pages free from numbering, but every time I try to delete them, (almost) every other page number in the fifty-page long document also gets deleted. I've made sure the ones I want to keep are set to 'start with', but this doesn't help anything.

2. I wanted the next few pages to be of the system i, ii, iii, which is working perfectly, but for the fact that every time I try to set the numbers below to 'start from' a number, it turns the last page of the i, ii, iii format into 1, 2, 3 format. Completely bizarre. Completely stupid.

3. I mentioned above that I was trying to get the main bulk of the pages to start from 1 - this doesn't work. These pages are still inexplicably linked to the first few pages which I don't want numbered (see my first point), and whenever I try, the page I set to 'start from' actually starts at 6. It also seems to follow no logical counting order.

Any help would be very much appreciated. The sooner I can get this sorted, the sooner I can get back to actually writing to book. Either that or I'll have to find a pdf editor.

Thank you

Office 2013 (Word) Illegal XML character

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:55 AM PST

The Issue

I have experienced this problem twice now.  First time months ago when I was working with Master documents.  I paid little attention then believing the document corruption error was directly associated with Master Document issues.

The source file resides on OneDrive.  The file is accessed regularly from office 2013 (win8.1)

 

and from Office Mobile (Android device) version 15.0.3722.2000. 

When I attempt to open the file from either office product the following error occurs.   The file contains 26182 bytes all readable from a simple Visual Studio binary reader I put together.  I have no idea what the 100960 column number means.   Also, I do not believe the file format is true XML - some derivative form.

The Error

The Questions

  1. Is the file recoverable by any means?
  2. If the file can not be recovered, how can I acquire the first 100959 columns successfully read?

Thanks now to all that respond

Dutch proofing tool not working

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:46 AM PST

Hi,

I installed 3 licenses of Office 365 on 3 different laptops using Windows 8.1 Professional.  All installations are in English.  I also downloaded, installed and enabled the Dutch language proofing tool on all 3 computers.  None of them are working.  See pictures below.  I tried the suggestion I saw on an earlier post about a similar issue (quick repair of the Office 365 installation), but to no avail.

Can you please help with this issue?

Thanks.

Hello, first of all, sorry for my english, its not my main language.

I need to make cards in which people would write information, text in front which is same for all cards should not have underline, but underline is applied after that text like in this example:

Text _____________

__________________

Text _____________

Longer txt ______

__________________

All lines should be fillable, and should not move when text is beign written on them.

I could apply underline to paragraph, but it underlines everything, even text which should not be underlined like in example.

I tried to create table, but text does not go into next table row.

Is it possible to create such a card?

Applying data from Excel 2013 spreadsheet to a Word 2013 document

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 08:11 PM PST

When making contracts or writing letters to clients, I commonly address them to one of 50 - 80 clients, but my entire client list is in the hundreds.  I have them all in an Excel spreadsheet, with "FirmName", "Street1", "Street2", "Street3", "City", "State", and "Zip" as the column names.  When I create contracts, invoices, or letters, I would like to be able to select the "FirmName" from a drop down list in my Word document, and have the remaining information auto-filled in the layout:

FirmName

Street1 Street2

Street3

City, State Zip

The city names in the "City" column do not have a comma after them, so I need to include this in the auto function.  Can anyone help me with this task?

I would also like the drop down menu in Word to make a fresh reference to the Excel spreadsheet each time I open the file, so that changes to the client list are automatically recognized.  Is this possible?

Thank you for any help.

Dependant drop down lists

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 07:49 PM PST

I am creating dependent drop down lists using the method shown at this link:

http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/linked_content_control_dropdown_list.html

Following this example, I have currently entered 28 types of fruit in the value field for when "Fruit" is chosen as the "Food Group".  I seem to be limited to 256 characters.  My current needs are for 30 - 35 items, totaling a minimum of about 350 - 400 characters, including spaces, pipes, and all.  It would be ideal if I could have 40 - 50 items totaling 1,000 - 1,500 characters.

Question: Can I get around this limitation?  If so, please provide a reference or example I can follow for whichever method you suggest.  Thank you.

Installing Office 2007 OVER XP

Posted: 05 Aug 2008 06:11 AM PDT

Mal,

I know that when you install Office 2007 along side with office 2003 there
is an issue when all office doents open up with Office 2007 applications.
Designating the extension and assigning it to the correct App (Word, Excel or
PowerPoint) didn't help me. Explorer > Tools > Folder Options....

I know that you are asking about Office XP and 2007, chances are you will
run into similar issues.
Also, Outlook 2003 and 2007 can't be installed on the same machine according
to Microsoft (not sure about Outlook XP and 2007). According to other forums
there are also issues when Access 2003 and 2007 installed on the same system.
I'm assuming the same goes for Office XP.

Installing both versions of Office is usually not a problem, but designating
2003 or XP in your case is probably what you will have a problem with.
If Office XP is already installed, pop-in the Office 2007 CD and then go to
Customize (I'm pretty sure it`s customize) there will be an option to leave
Office XP installed and not remove it when installing 2007
I hope this helps.

Word 2010 Problems with page layout

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 02:52 PM PST

I am having multiple problems with page layout. I want to design a document that will eventually be printed on pages 152.4 X 228.6 mm, with margins and a gutter on the left for recto and right for verso (normal allowance for binding). No problem there. I am printing proofs on A4. Whatever I do I cannot get my printer to render the 12pt as 12 pt and when I select 'apply to whole document' and save it, on accessing it again it always says 'this section'.

Repeater Merge Fields to output in the same line instead of listing repeater items in separate rows

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 01:44 PM PST

Hello,

Can someone help me formatting repeater merge fields output in MS WORD in such a manner that the results will list in the same line using comma separate format?

Currently the multiple outputs are listed in separate rows. for example

PRINCESS

AMIGO

My desired result would be:

PRINCESS, AMIGO

Another issue I am having is when I use the repeater merge fields right after the normal merge field, the output result will repeat the output from the previous merge field again after the repeater merge field ends.

for example

if the merge field <<residentname>> outputs SMITH and the repeater merge field <<PETSNAME>> outputs PRINCESS, AMIGO, my output shows like this:

SMITH PRINCESS

SMITH AMIGO

I want this output to be display in MS WORD as:

SMITH, PRINCESS, AMIGO

sample merge fields

«residentname» «tablestart:pets»«petsname»«tableend:pets»

Thank you

Zack

Word 2010 - Custom Table of Contents - Inserts table from which created into new documents

Hi.  We created a custom TOC and shared it amongst pilot program members.  When they go to create a TOC, upon insertion the TOC from the document upon which the format was created is inserted and you must refresh to build it based upon the current document.  This is sending people into a panic and others into complete frustration.  Any idea, how I can get it to insert the TOC for the document they are working on without a refresh?

Hyperlinks being changed in Word 2010 - IE - Win 7

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 11:38 AM PST

Working for a large company, we distribute from time to time Word documents with Hyperlinks in them.  Some point to internal sites, some to external sites.

The first part of the link is a signon verification to identify the user:  http://%^*&@.@#*$

The second part is the actual URL to the site in question, https://*&^%$

They are separated by and equal sign.

For some reason the secure URL is being change with no intervention by the user taking them to a incorrect location.

Can someone offer some opinions as to what might cause this and suggested fixes.

Word 2010 Table of Contents - Sharing TOC format

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 09:20 AM PST

Hi.  We are trying to create a standard office TOC.  So, I created a TOC and saved it to the office building blocks, which are separate from each individual's building blocks.   I shared the office building blocks.dotx with others and placed it in the appropriate location under the users data profile.  When they generated a TOC, using the format I had created, theirs looks nothing like mine.  We used the same style set and the same TOC from building blocks.  Can TOC formats be shared?  If so, how do I do it correctly?  Thanks in advance.

Deleting pages on Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 03:19 AM PST

How on earth do you delete a blank page in the middle of a word document? Have spent an hour researching this and got nowhere - just some pseudo philiosphical techno guff about blank pages not really being blank. I've tried using paragraph setting. Tried finding a manual page break. Tried layout settings. Tried sacrificing a black cat under a blue moon. Also, how do you complain about this sort of stuff to Microsoft - am I doing it now? Can they "hear" me?

So many questions, but really what I want to ask is why it is that Microsoft Word 2010 seems to have been designed and developed by a group of sadists in the midst of possibly the longest acid party in history?

Word 2010 keeps adding styles on Save

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:05 PM PST

I have a template that I'm trying to 'clean-up' so that there are no unnecessary styles.

My process follows these steps:

  1. From Manage Styles I select the unwanted style (named TOC Heading + emphasis) which is created from a correct style (TOC Heading) and Reapply the correct style to the entire paragraph (including the paragraph mark). Here is where the newly created style is removed.
  2. Then the template file is saved whereupon the created style (TOCHeading + emphasis) reappears.

How do I stop this from happening?

Word - Drop-down list that can auto populates Text?

Hi all, 

I am working on a new form. 

I want to create a drop-down list and depending on what I select I would like the text box below to auto populate standard language. 

Is this possible in Word? I believe I did something similar in Excel a few years ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to condense 16 different letters into one. All only differ slightly depending on what would be selected from the drop-down.

How do you create a vertically centered horizontal line around horizontally centered name

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:03 PM PST

      I am currently creating a resume from scratch.  At the top of the page, underneath the header and horizontally centered, I have written my name.  I wish to create a horizontal line on either side of my name.  These lines should be the same size and symmetrical horizontally.  I also would like a the line to be compound with a vertical gradient (dark grey on top and light grey on the bottom).

      I've clicked on the border button in the home tab and then selected insert horizontal line.  I have been unable to position this line on the same text line as my name.  The line could only be positioned as a break above or below my name no matter how short the line was.  I was unable to find any text wrapping options for this type of horizontal line.

      Next, I tried using the insert shape feature.  I clicked on the insert tab, clicked on the shapes button and then selected the line tool.  It was frustrating to position the line along the vertical center of the text.  I right-clicked on the line and clicked "more layout options".  I adjusted the alignment options gradually until I was satisfied.  I then made sure that the "tight wrap" option was selected.  This seemed to work.  Next I right-clicked on the line again and selected "Format Shape".  Here is where things got extremely frustrating.  I selected the compound line option, but there were only four types.  For the horizontal line method above there were many different types of compound lines.  I selected one and then attempted to create a gradient.  It was a painstaking process.  There were four gradient bars, which I guess is fair as the compound line has two lines, but it was very difficult to discern how the controlled the gradients.  Once I was satisfied I had to create another horizontal line on the other side of the text.  I set the line I created to the default line.  When a drew a line on the other side of the text the compound line and gradient was vertically reversed!  When a went back to the format shape screen and selected the opposite line (here the image in the tab was the opposite of the one originally created but it produced the same the line as on left side of the text.  This also reversed the gradient.  I stopped here as I had no idea how to match the exact same gradient as the first line.

      I also tried the copy and paste method.  This only created a picture of the line when pasted on the right side of the text.  It seems impossible to get this picture to line up symmetrically with the line on the left.

      I know I have written a lot here and my description may be too dense or not clear, but I thought this way would help me get the best answer.  I have searched online for over an hour and have not found a method that works.  This seems like an extremely simple, common task and I'm sure there must be an easy and quick way to do this.  I am not sure if I have over-complicated the matter, but I really need help on this one.  Also, I do not want to use a resume template.

Thanks for your time and help.

in word - stops responding, then task manager doesn't work

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 05:46 PM PST

I'm using word 2010 - windows 7.  When I'm in Word -- I will intermittently  lose quite a bit of functionality - ability to backspace, use the pointer to get to a different section of the page, etc.    I'm unable to close Word at that point.  if I go to Task Manager, it does not respond either.  I then have to shut down the computer using the on/off button, and reboot.  The computer will then act fine for an undetermined period of time.

Any thoughts?  It's very frustrating.

Templates in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:03 PM PST

When I open Word, I am presented with a bunch of impressive templates for which I have no use at all.  I have no interest in using any of Microsoft's templates, either embedded in the software or online.  I know that many people went to great lengths, and used extraordinary talent to create that impressive collection of marvelous templates, but I don't need them.  I have very limited needs, and have made an assortment of templates that fit my requirements, and I want to use them.  I want to get rid of all of Microsoft's templates, and instead use those I've created myself.  When I open Word, I would like to be presented with a blank page based on my Normal template, and ready for me to enter text.  Is that possible?

Basically I fixed it by logging on as client and changing the Outlook

then able to close Outlook, change the Outlook Profile to no longer request

Mailbox Manager Registry keys

Posted: 26 Aug 2008 06:09 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

I've set the start time on the servers to be Saturday at 6:00p (using the
15-min view). I had been running mailbox manager in 'generate report only'
mode for the last month to let users see what was going to happen when it
actually changed to 'delete immediately' mode.

Since changing to 'delete only' mode, the process does not run through all
the mailboxes (there are a lot of messages to delete!) but still produces the
'has run successfully' report.

So, I was thinking there was possibly a time limit set as to how long the
process runs. On some of my servers it will run for 45 minutes and stop,
some close to 2 hours. But none of them finish processing all mailboxes like
it did when I was in 'generate report only' mode.

Hope that helps to clarify. Thanks for your time!

OK. Frankly I don't know much of anything about the exchange server, how

Can someone respond re my original questions?

Is it possible for UIDLs to be non unique? There are only 200 messages
on this exchange server, and most of the most recent 20 or so are using
duplicate UIDLs, at least according to the info I have.

Also is AAQG2TxAAAArJjnk2yIOau008N6VeH1P a 'normal' looking UIDL from
exchange? Or does it look truncated? My suspicion is that somehow the
UIDL values are being truncated, and thus rendered apparent duplicates
from the persective of my software.
