problems using styles and templates

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 02:41 PM PST

I am editing chapters of a book. I have created a set of styles and saved them in a template with a custom name. The problem I'm having is when I need to either modify an existing style in the template or create a new one. I create or modify within the template and then Apply the revised template to an existing document using Options - Add-Ons - Template, open the template, check Automatically Update Document Styles, and click OK.  The changes that I've made to my template are not being applied to the active document. What am I missing?

Macro buttons in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 01:54 PM PST

Having recently changed from Word 2003 to Word 2013, I am in the process of transferring some of my customizations.   I have been using 21 macros with my own graphic button designs.  It appears that in Word 2013 one cannot design button graphics and must choose from a given set of pre-designed graphics, none of which relate to the macro functions.  Is this true, or am I missing something?  If true, it would be another poorly designed element of Word 2013.

Word app on iPad - how to return a document to online only

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 12:37 PM PST

I am generally very happy with the way Word app on iPad works in conjunction with One Drive.

My understanding of how it works is as follows:

Any document can be found through the Onedrive folder structure. Any document, once selected, will be downloaded and any updates made will be saved to OneDrive. In addition, any document so downloaded will continue to be available offline although, if accessed when online,  will of course be updated with any changes that have be made from any other of my devices. 

This could lead to a build up of the storage that needs to be held on the iPad as I have not yet identified a way of changing a document from "available offline" back to "available online only".

My question: Is there any way of making this change? 

I have to admit that this is not actually a problem for me as I have oodles of space on the iPad but I am interested simply from a knowledge point of view.

NUmbering with words

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 11:50 AM PST

Hi All,

I want to use numbering for a document which contains several headings. I manage to list the heading correctly using numbering options, however I would like to know whether it is possible to set the text at a defined distance after each numbering. I know that from define multilevel list yo can set up text indent, however that is the absolute text indent and there is no option to choose text indent after the number.

Also in the table of contents heading 2 and 3 shows up in the same column, therefore I would like to know why different heading do not appear shifted.

Office template download error

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 10:39 AM PST

This problem has been around since 2009 with no satisfactory response from Microsoft.  So here it is again!

First lets not come up with the old pap "Verify your copy of Office 7.  Been there done that.

Next lets not see download from the Office 7 site.  I did not pay to get that stuff!

finally, all the service packs are up to date and this computer came loaded with Office 7 so there are no trial copies.

Does anyone in Microsoft know how to solve this problem?  If not, say so!

To refresh...Word templates do not work...get Template download error with such fixes as "try later" and " Make sure you are connected to the internet".

Anchoring/locking a picture (logo) to the bottom right corner of a picture content control window

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 08:59 AM PST

I am trying to create a company template in which the user (a company employee) uploads a picture via a picture content control window displaying the picture along with my company logo superimposed in the bottom right corner of the picture. I have tried several different approaches, and read the support, and forums to no avail. The pictures are generally similar in size and square or rectangular in shape, but of course they vary in size and aspect ratio based on who crops the picture and the shape of the clients facility.

The Problem:

-When the picture automatically resizes, the logo image stays in its fixed position on the page (and thus is no longer superimposed in the bottom right corner). I can't anchor the logo to a specific position within the picture content control window that moves dynamically with the shape/size of the window.

What I would like:

-No matter the size (or shape) of the picture inserted via the content control, I want the image of my company logo to stay positioned in the bottom right corner.

-Furthermore, if possible, I would like the picture to automatically resize to fit the width of the content control window (retaining the original aspect ratio) rather than resizing the window to fit the picture (Currently, when the picture is smaller than the window, it shrinks and does not fill the page properly).

We produce many of these standard documents for our clients, including an aerial photo of the client's business. The goal is to create this document with as little formatting as possible required by the employee. To save time and avoid user error, I would simply like my employee to click in the picture window, select the appropriate client aerial, and boom; picture inserted, sized to fit the window, and logo positioned in the bottom right corner.

Please help me out if anyone knows how to accomplish this.

Thanks,

MS Word does not open properly

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 06:46 AM PST

Please see the screenshot.  The second document entitled "7 - Lecture Plan..." does not open properly.  It gives me some sort of a transparent placeholder.  If there is another document that's already open, like "Exam 1 answers", I get the "Welcome back!" banner, but still can't use "7 - Lecture Plan."  I get this problem all the time!  This happens both when I click on a word doc in a documents window or when I try to open a doc from the history of recent open docs in the ribbon on the bottom of the screen.  Never had this problem before and not sure what to do.  Please help!

Slow Typing in Word for iPad

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 05:05 AM PST

Word for iPad seems to struggle with large files and typing lag. If I'm working in a small document there doesn't seem to be an issue but I'm working in a document roughly 30,000 words long and there can be a good ten seconds between hitting a key and the character appearing on-screen. It's not just that particular document either; it's any long document. I've tried resetting Word but that hasn't helped. Is there any fix for this? Otherwise I'll need to delete Word and go back to Pages which would be a major inconvenience.

Remove blank line on top of page

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 02:54 AM PST

I have a document, and between paragraphs etc there sometimes are blank lines.  The problem is that depending on the length of the paragraphs, sometimes these blank lines come at the start of the next page.  Is there a way for word to automatically identify such cases and hide an empty line when it happens at the top of a new page?

How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 10:50 PM PST


Hi

How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document? Is it possible in Word 2013 to have multiple background colors?

If not possible in Word 2013, does there exist a workaround for it using a "picture" as a  background, as described here

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/multiple-background-colours-word/f0526da0-ddfa-4cdb-b2b1-c17350330e61 ?

saving macros to a safe template

Posted: 19 Aug 2008 01:24 AM PDT

Graham,

I suspect that corporate IT departments frequently replace the Normal.dot
for several reasons.

First, it's a cheaper and easier alternative to creating doent-specific
templates that carry the correct corporate look and feel. They reckon - and
rightly so in my experience - that most users will create the majority of
their doents from a blank doent. Of course, this means that there's a
risk that the users will do something with to the styles that's not in
keeping with the corporate standards (like Heading 1 set to bold, italic,
underlined, purple, 28 pt, MS Comic Sans, with ants - says the Voice of
Experience...). By simply rolling a new version of Normal these issues become
very short-lived, and usually after the third or fourth time of having their
customisations n away, most users just give up.

Second, the Normal is regularly used as a source of corporate standard
AutoText entries, and when these need to be updated (or to rectify or prevent
modification)... you get the picture. At least the company I'm contracting to
presently has the good sense to put AutoText into an add-in.

Finally, as I'm sure you're aware, the Normal template is - or at least has
been - extremely susceptible to corruption, and the usual solution is to
delete (or rename) the Normal and allow Word to rebuild it automatically. Of
course, most users have no clue as to what's going on when errors from a
corrupt Normal start popping up, so they ring the Help Desk. Periodically
rolling out a new Normal cuts down on these calls.

As for the OP's question, I think you've covered it. ;-P

Office Home and Student for Windows 7

Hi, have bought and downloaded Office Home and Student 2013 which is meant for Windows 7 amongst others. Office won't open and my computer is telling me that it is not compatible. Altho my computer (laptop) runs on Windows 7, it is telling me that it's actually Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Windows Version 6.1

I am now at a complete loss.

attaching word template by reference

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 12:19 PM PST

I have a custom template that I've attached to a collection of documents. I have these files, including the template, checked into source control. I'm finding that the reference to the attached template does not follow the files when a second user checks out the documents and template from source control.

I.e. my coworker checks out the template and one of the documents. He edits the template to change Header 1 to color red. He opens the document and the Header 1 text is not red. The auto-update based on template is turned on. It is in fact referencing the original template that is stored in my folder on the network.

Can I create the documents so that they look in their own path for the template?

Word 2010 docx opens in non-edit mode and loses Baloons Always setting

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 11:46 AM PST

win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit

Word 2010

on both machines

I am working with an author editing his book.

When we send a file either way it opens requiring us to click on enable editing and then go change the tracking options setting to Balloons: Always.

This happens even though we have identical settings in Word Options.

There are no macros in the docx files, but there are in Normal.dotm on each machine, and Macros are enabled in Trust Center on both machines.

It is not hard to work around, but it shouldn't be doing this, and it wasn't doing this sometime back.  I assume some update changed things.

Where do I look?

Document comparison

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 11:22 AM PST

I have two Word documents.  I'm using Word for Mac 2011.

Each document is a a test of 1200 multiple-choice questions.  The second version is supposed to be a rearrangement of the questions, but they're written in a specific order, so they can't have a random arrangement. The organization that sent this wants a committee to compare one version against the second to ensure no typos have been made.

Is there a way to do this other than checking them one-at-a-time?  I don't think Track Changes is meant to work in this way.

Thank you very much,

Word 2010: Why don't documents scroll vertically in Print Layout view?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 10:55 AM PST

I have vertical scroll bars enabled in Word 2010.  Note that I am NOT asking about how to enable vertical scroll bars.

In Print Layout view with more than one page viewed at a time, dragging the vertical scroll bar does nothing except show a small page indicator as shown in the screenshot below.  In other words, when scrolling vertically with the scroll bar, the pages actually displayed in the document window do not change and I cannot quickly scan through the document nor see where I am scrolling to.  This is very annoying.  This does not happen in Draft view nor in Print Layout view when only one page is viewed at a time.

I've noticed that this Print Layout view problem occurs in previous versions of Word as well.  Can anyone confirm that this is a permanent "feature" in Word?  Is there any way to change this?  It seems completely pointless and similar document views in for example, Adobe Acrobat do not have this problem.  What is the rationale?  Thanks for any help.

Section numbers and hyperlinks in table of authorities

Is it possible to create a table of authorities in a Word document which doesn't refer to page number, but instead refers to the hyperlinked section in which the authority is found, so that clicking on the section number takes the reader to the citation, or at least to the section in which the citation is found?  I've found this entry:   https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-word/reference-paragraph-numbers-in-a-table-of/bd301d9d-f453-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5  but the links discussed there are no longer valid.

Office 2013 for Windows 7 appears extremely blurry

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:07 AM PST

I recently downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 as part of a student bundle at my university. To do this, I had to uninstall my previous Microsoft Office 2010.  However, all of the new Office programs are extremely blurry. If I run my mouse over certain buttons, they may unblur for a second or two, but then distort again. All of the programs seem to function fine, but are very unusable in the sense that I can't see what I'm typing or clicking at all. This didn't effect my previous Office suite, nor the Wordpad that came with my laptop.

Below is a screenshot of Word. I had copied some filler bio text from a wiki-how site.

I put this topic as Microsoft Office Word, but the same effect is happening in all the office programs.

Text boxes automatically hyperlinked

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 07:40 AM PST

Hi guys, I tried my best to find an answer to this question somewhere so sorry if I missed it.

Basically, in Word 2010, when I make a new text box, the text is automatically formatted like a hyperlink (underlined and blue).  But I can't turn it off, because Word "knows" there's no real hyperlink there.  I tried just changing the color and format of the text, but no matter what I tell it, the text stays blue and underlined.  I tried adding a fake hyperlink and then removing it to see if that would help, but it didn't.  All I want out of life is to make a box of text that isn't blue or underlined.  What's going on?!  

Thank you.

word 2010 insufficient memory or disk space - tried all the fixes I can find

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 02:05 AM PST

I have a laptop running windows 8 and MS Office Professional 2010. From the very start when it is brand new is occasionally got the message "insufficient memory or disk space"  when trying to print from word. This is getting worse.  Deleting normal.dotm fixes it for a very short while then it occurs again.

I have removed  add-ins but the problem still occurred.  I tried doing a repair on Office 2010 but the problem still occurred. Yesterday I uninstalled Office and reinstalled it and the problem is even worse. At the moment I either need to delete normal every time I have done a print - or I have to save everything as a PDF fine if I want to print it. 

I have also done a full system scan with Norton 360 

Can anything suggest what the problem might be

Thanks

Monospace fonts are not monospaced in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 05:25 PM PST

I am writing up some software documentation and am trying to use Courier New for the code parts to make them clear to read. I chose Courier New because it is a monospace font. However the results I am seeing are defiantly not monospace, and as a result it makes the code more difficult to read.

Why is Word doing this and how do I get it to stop?

The document does contain embedded versions of MS WOrd and MS Excel files.

Microsoft Word crashes when try to open it

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:32 PM PST

Whenever I try to open microsoft word 2010 it will open fine but then a pop screen shows up and says "please wait while setup prepares necessary files" and then word crashes. None of the other office programs will open either. Although they don't open at all. They aren't like word. I have tried uninstalling office but it always says that the uninstall in incomplete so I can't just reinstall the software. I don't know why it won't uninstall. Is there any way to fix this issue so that I can at least open word without it crashing? Or is there some way to make my computer uninstall office?

Autocorrect on Word 2013

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:26 PM PST

Hey, 

I'm changing laptops soon. The last time I changed laptops, I lost my customized dictionary and customized autocorrect words. Even though I re-logged into my account on the other laptop, the autocorrect options that I applied on the last laptop did not sync. 

So what happens now, since I'm getting a new laptop? Do I have to go back and save EACH autocorrect word? Or is there a way to just sync those into my new laptop?

Also, can you please bring back the autocorrect option in the menu box (right click). It's really frustrating that each time I want to add a word in autocorrect I have to go to settings menu.

Thank you,

Alan

I want to link a multi page spreadsheet into Word, PLUS maintain formatting & sanity

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:56 PM PST

I have to create & print a new membership directory for my club. All the info is in an Excel 2007 file. My 1st choice would be to link the data in Excel to word. Alternatively, embed or copy the data. I have to get it into Word to use its more extensive formatting & more importantly, use the Page Setup features for booklet printing.

Here's what I have tried that didn't work:

Insert / Object / Text from File. After entering the Excel file I want copied into Word, I get an error dialog box message that reads "...cannot be opened because there are problems with the content. Details - the file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Clicking OK, the next box says "Word found unreadable content in file. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." When I click Yes, it circles back to the 1st message above. So I cancel out of that.

Next I try Insert / Object / Object / Create New / Object type & select Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet. This brings up a 10 line Blank Excel spreadsheet into Word. I can extend the sheet down to the bottom of page 1 but no further. How do I get the rest of the sheet on to pages 2, 3, 4, etc? It has also taken data from Excel that is 5" wide & squashed it down to 4.4" wide. Gerr!

Cut & Paste from the Excel sheet got it all into Word on multiple pages BUT screwed up the formatting.

Any ideas on how to make this work. I'm even willing to give up on the linking feature & just copy a mirror image into Word!

A very, very inelegant solution is to insert a new object page by page. ie rows 1-40 on page 1, 41-80 on page 2, etc, etc. Doing it this way makes moving around in the document extremely cumbersome while in Excel mode.

OneDrive and exporting an excel file or word file to create pdf

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:29 AM PST

I have a user who opens her OneDrive on C:\Users.......and opens one of her folders then either an excel file or word file and then if she tries to chose export to create pdf it will hang for a few minutes (you can see it creating a temp file in that folder) then it will pop up Internet Explorer to the Office 365 Login page.  If you then just click to save it ignoring the IE popup it some times will save the file as a pdf and other times will just hang.  I have tried to reproduce this on other machines and they all work fine IE never opens up.

Office 2000 installer initiates for limited XP accounts

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 03:07 PM PDT

Never mind. I fixed it. I changed the limited account that was giving me
Office start-up problems to an admin account. I then opened all of the
MSOffice applications within that account. When I opened the first one, it
prompted me to insert the installation CD, which I did. I then changed the
account back to a limited account and did a restart on the system. Now, all
of the MSOffice applications open up perfectly within both limited user
accounts.

I think the key was having the user account set up as an admin when the
initial MSOffice application was opened up. After that, it can be changed to
a limited account. Things seem to be running perfectly now.

Hmmm. I wonder if Vista itself contains some part of Office, perhaps in order
to provide the ability to read Office 2007 doents?
