| Recover Lost Documents Posted: 15 Feb 2015 02:47 PM PST How do you recover unsaved documents? I was in the middle of typing an assignment when the Surface RT decided it was time for an update (which it does all the time and is really annoying), so it lost my document. I went into word to see if I could recover it, but when I went to recover saved documents but it wasn't there. Please help. |
| Limitations in MS Word Posted: 15 Feb 2015 01:38 PM PST Hello everyone! There is this info: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211489. Are there any limitations in Word 2010 besides those described in that article? Maybe any restrictions on amount of images in a single document? Thank you in advance for you answer. Cheers, Herman |

| The Tab key on mulitlevel lists not working in Tables on Word Posted: 15 Feb 2015 10:07 AM PST I have Microsoft Word 2013. I have a multilevel list that works normally everywhere else except for when I try to use it in a table, which I use to format my notes into cornell style. So when I use the list in the table I hit tab it will move to the next box int the table instead of moving the line to the next level. Is there a way to change this? |
| Recovering Office from hard drive failure Posted: 15 Feb 2015 10:06 AM PST A few weeks ago Windows started alerting me that my hard drive was about to fail. I discovered hundreds of logged errors in the log, so I decided to replace it. I purchased a solid state drive, and was hoping to clone my Windows install to it, with Office and a hundred other things. However apparently cloning software abandons if it finds any errors on the source drive. So I was obliged to restore to the provided factory recovery system which of course meant that I needed to reinstall everything including Office. The old drive still works, so I can read anything I need from it (unless I hit the error in doing so). Q1. I assume there is no way to "copy" my Windows 2010 install from that drive. My Office 2010 disk and key are currently in storage (we are moving house). Or must I just wait until I get stuff out of storage? Q2. Can I extract my Word VBA macros from inside the file structure of Office on the old drive, or do I need to boot from it again? |
| Issues with removing header/footer from single pages Posted: 15 Feb 2015 05:47 AM PST 1) I need to remove the header&footer from certain pages, but the only way I found to do this is Microsoft's workaround of inserting a page break, which ruins the layout of my document. Is there any other way? 2) Since my footers consist of page numbering, removing some pages' footers messes up the page numbering. I tried right-clicking on the footer field of the page that I wanted to be "page 1", however setting the numbering to start here in fact puts a "2" in there, such that I need to set the number to 0 if I want the page to start at 1 from there. 3) Also, I notice that for some pages whose headers/footers get removed, the horizontal border line still remains, whereas for other pages, the border disappears together with the footer! Any help with these 3 problems would be much appreciated! |
| Still quite some problems with Word errors Posted: 15 Feb 2015 05:05 AM PST I get repeated issues with Office365/Word. What happens is the following on my Win7 laptop with Office365/32bit installed: - I cannot get Word (or for that matter excel) previews in windows explorer (powerpoint does preview) - Word gives me regular cannot make temp environment variable errors - Word says the global template was opened in ready only mode and attempts to save the global template in a different place/as different file every time i exit - When I open a document directly from windows explorer (doubleclick) word regularly fails to open (another user is using the document... although it is not open in any program at all), opens the doc in read only mode or compatibility mode for no apparent reason I have checked my registry and the temporary internet files setting is correct. I have checked whether the normal.dotm file and folder is ready only or read/write and it appears correct as read/write I run word in Win7 compatibility mode and as administrator. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing 3 times without success. Wondering if anyone out there has a solution. I changed to Office365 from Libreoffice 3 months ago and experience nothing but trouble with this. Getting very frustrated... Geert |
| Word Keeps Selecting Text On Its Own Posted: 15 Feb 2015 04:28 AM PST When using word, whenever I type a block of text whether a paragraph or page; when I leave it and return the entire document is selected on its own. I have tried everything but it continues to select text on its own. Entire blocks, documents, pages sometimes anywhere I put the cursor. I have tried re-installing and it does not work. Unfortunately I do not have a restore point before it began so I can't restore. Can anyone help? |
| Find and replace only in selection Posted: 14 Feb 2015 11:15 PM PST I want to do a find and replace ONLY within a selection. I thought I was doing something wrong, but then I found this: https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/word-replace-all-doesnt-work-on-selected-text-only/ where the user notes the same thing I found. This is surely a bug (or one of the worst design decisions in Word - and that's saying a lot!). Does anyone know a way to make Word do what it should do? I've been moving the selection to a blank file and doing the operations there. But this gives other problems: when I replace the selection in the original document, the page headers get messed up and one or more bookmarks are deleted. A huge pain! Steve |
| Context menu for Additional Actions is not working Posted: 14 Feb 2015 11:11 PM PST Hello to all,
Although I've turned on "Additional Actions" in my WORD 2010, when I right-click there's no any option in the context menu! The context menu shows only three items of which two "No Additional Actions" and "Check for New Actions ..." is gray (inactive/nonoperational) , and the third item ("Options ...") is active.
Why is that so? How can I fix the problem and make the context menu to show additional actions options?
Thank you for your time and expertise in advance |

| word 2013 not all pages are shown and equation cannot be used Posted: 14 Feb 2015 04:14 PM PST Hi All, I just uninstalled office 2007 and installed office 2013. When I use 2013 to open the word file created previously by 2007, problems occur that not all the pages are shown, especially for the files with more than 10 pages. Normally only the first 10 pages are shown and the rest cannot be shown (but both the word count and navigation show that the complete file is not only 10 pages). When I opened the files in draft and outline modes, the complete file is shown. Also when I saved the files as word97-03, the files are completely shown. So it is word 2013's problem rather than my word files's problem. Although the complete file is shown in draft and outline modes, and the equations are incorrectly shown. Also, I cannot insert equation in neither the blank document in word 2013 nor the old files created by word 2007 (the built-in equations in the droplist are blank). When I used word 2007 there was no any problem. I find some other customers also reported these problems with word 2013 but they seems unresolved. Can anybody help me to look at these problems? I also called the Helpline, but the representatives seem like they are unaware of and have no idea about these problems. What a bad service! Thanks. |

| Office Web Apps for Android Posted: 14 Feb 2015 03:28 PM PST The Microsoft Office Website says that Office is available on both Android phones and Android tablets. I have an HTC One Max with Android 4.4.2, yet when I try to download the Microsoft Word Web App via Google Play, I receive a message stating the app is not compatible with my device. Why am I not able to download and install the app when I have the correct version of Android? |
