Microsoft Word - Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Microsoft Word - Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:55 PM PST

Split from this thread.

A bug that I have found is the following:

I was trying to get the default to allow me to text ONLY the plain text when I hit Ctrl + V.  I could paste plain text by right-clicking and selecting it, but the default was fixed as incorporating random formatting that was not in either the source or destination files.  I set the Options under Cut, Copy and Paste to "Keep text only" first for "between documents when style definitions conflict," and then "between different documents," and then finally even "Within the same document."  Still, I would get a font reduction and blue text from nowhere when pasting from a black text size 11 PDF to a black text size 11 Word document.

The solution was found accidentally.  By checking the box next to "Show Paste Options button when content is pasted," the defaults now function properly regardless of whether I actually use or even click said Past Options Button.  This is a legitimate bug.  The function of the higher listed defaults should not be conditioned upon an unrelated default option.  This is the equivalent of not being able to flush your toilet unless your porch light is on.  And I cannot report this as a bug because the listed website is not taking any such reports.  Neither can I get my computer at a huge company with thousands of employees to change to any different version, regardless of what I can do on my home computer.

Editing Word Documents

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:14 PM PST

Some time ago I was able to use a tool that could help reduce the size of text documents by 25, 50 or 75% etc., Does anyone know what this tool was? I can't remember and a Google search ddoesn't unearth anything. Many thanks

Recovering Word from a crashed and repaired laptop?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 01:20 PM PST

My old laptop crashed, Windows xp, IE6, Microsoft word 2003 (I think). Someone was able to repair it back to original settings, but cannot read or open word docs that have been saved on a USB drive without opening them with wordpad. I was hoping to work with the USB word docs and create new word docs by rewriting the saved docs on the USB drive and re saving them on the laptop. Not happening. Is there anyway to recover Word functionality without the original start up disks?

Need Help Using Quick-Parts

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 01:06 PM PST

Hi, so I'm in Word 2010 for Windows 7 and working on a document with some information (generic body paragraphs) and some customizable sections that I want prompted for filling; this is used with a mail merge campaign, so these fields would probably be best served by being fill-in quick parts, right?  I've made an outline of how I want the letter to look with the quick parts, which are designated with chevrons < >; is what I envision possible? I'm not overly familiar with using the Quick Parts function in 2010 but my boss wants it done.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate any advice that anyone has

Image Watermark Disappears

I'm trying to insert an image as a watermark in order to create a form in Word 2013. The image is a scan of our letterhead. When I select custom watermark, use image, the image appears for a moment, complete with the image size handles, then disappears.

Broken Track Change Save in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 11:24 AM PST

So I've been having this problem for 2 or 3 weeks now. I'm running Microsoft Office with Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows 7 OS.

I work frequently with a technical writer and other individuals to produce publications and documents which makes the use of the track change feature a basic  necessity for us. Unfortunately I've been having issues with using the track change features on my computer. Lately whenever I go to close or save a file, all changes to the document, including those made by other uses are being automatically saved. If I or another user opens the document after I've saved it, the changes are indistinguishable. I haven't made any changes to my tracking options, and this has me practically at wits end trying to fix the problem.
The best work around I've found is to save a pdf copy with the visible markings for any changes, but for several reasons this is NOT a desirable workaround...

If anyone else has run into this issue or has a solution please let me know.

I don't want graphic objects to NUDGE TO GRIDLINES. How do I turn it off?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 11:19 AM PST

I have been using Word for years.  I have Word for Mac 2008 and Word 2010 both installed on my iMac computer (Parallels, Windows 7). In Word for Mac 2008 I can place gridlines in a document and then insert a grahic that I can nudge in one-pixel increments.  But in Word 2010, when the gridlines show, it only nudges to the next gridline.  I usually place my gridlines at .50".  Even if it is a DEFAULT setting in Word 2010, can't it be shut off?  When I don't use gridlines it works in the usual manner, nudging at 1-pixel increments. I have all the "snap to" items unchecked. 

Word 2013 went "not responding" when I try to open a file

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 09:45 AM PST

When I try to open a file my word 2013 shows "not responding". All I can see is the title bar. Also, no matter whether the file is doc. or docx, the title always shows [Compatibility Mode]. 

Also, the splash screen remains on the desktop. 

All other office work well.

my laptop runs Windows 7 Ultimate,

This microsoft office 2013 package was downloaded  and installed from my university website and registered by my university email address.

It works well since I installed it but the situation happens since yesterday, I can't remember what particular thing I did that could cause this happens.

There is no other office package installed in my laptop now. I uninstalled MS 2003 and WPS several days ago.


I appreciate any help!

How do I prevent the "Enter" key from creating a textbox in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:56 AM PST

I am writing a book, using Word 2010, and every time I click on the "Enter" key, the "Enter" key creates a textbox.

I can add an extra letter, number, or symbol and put the cursor in front (to the left) of that and then the "Enter" key works the way it should.

This is a long document (almost 300 pages)  or I would simply start over.  I have copied and pasted (with format) but this error follows over to the new document.

Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Column break creates page break

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:14 AM PST

I am pretty familiar with this feature, but every once in a while when I hit column break it creates a new page.  The page set up is set for continuous.  Nothing in any of the drop down menus is set to create a new page, so why do I get a page break when I want a column break?!!! Beyond annoying, especially when I cannot fix it.

Auto Correct doesn't save when I close Word

I do have all the corrections I made initially, but not anything after that.  What to do?

Right to left language issues in Word for iPad

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:06 AM PST

Does word for iPad support right to left languages?

whenever I try to type in arabic word writes from left to right, now in arabic letters have few form depending on where they are located and word gets them all wrong and just displays the singular form of letters.

The question is:

Is this a bug or should I try some special setting?

my region settings is set to usa but I don't think this would affect writing cause other apps like Pages work just fine

New blank Document 60?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:15 AM PST

Why does Word 2013 add numbers to the default name of new blank documents I open, and why do these numbers increase each time?  I understand that if I have two unnamed documents open, one will be called Document 1 and the other Document 2.  But the new file I just opened is called Document60, and I don't have any others open.  When I completely close out of Word, then open it again, the new blank document is called Document61.  Is Word keeping track of how many new documents I open, or do I have a virus?

Word 2013 - write once, populate in all document

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 04:29 AM PST

I quite often have to write documents, where certain text elements are repeated throughout the file (things like "Project title", "Customer name" etc.). I'm looking for a way to write it once and populate in all places.

I've been trying to use Bookmarks and hyperlinks but without success - the problem is that whatever you write at the end of the bookmark is not automatically added to it. I've also experimented with trying to add bookmark to Content Control from Developer tab - but it appears that bookmark still applies to the text inside the bookmark not the field as a whole.

Is there any simple way (without resorting to macros, VB etc) to achieve that?

The update of Microsoft Word is messing up my previously formatted documents

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 03:20 AM PST

I recently got a new laptop and had to install the newest version of Microsoft Word.  Since doing so, whenever I use apostrophes and quotation marks they are the "straight" kind, and not the "curly" kind, which doesn't match the rest of the document.  I'm a writer, and I use quotation marks a lot.  When I go to format my books, I can't have both types of quotation marks.  I asked this question on Yahoo and someone instructed me to go into Word Options and change to "smart" quotes, which are the curly kind.  I did this, and it changed nothing.  I need my curly quotes and apostrophes back, unless I want to go through every manuscript I have and change them ALL.  I DON'T.  Suggestions?

Mail Merge label problem - Each row further up than previous.

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:13 AM PST

Hi
Can anyone help with a problem that has only started recently.

I have a large list of lables to create by MailMerge using Avery L7163 labels.

When I create the merged labeles and print, the alignement is out.   There are two columns and seven rows per sheet.  By the fourth row, the top line is printing in the bottom of row three label.  Each row moves up a bit.

Half of the label on row seven is in row six.

What I would like to know, is does anyone have the exact settings for the L7163 labels not just label width and height.  Looking at the settings window for the labels, it looks like I need to know all the settings such as Top Margin, Side Margin, Vertical Pitch, Horizontal Pitch, Label Height, Label Width.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.  By the way, I have tried googleing settings and you'd think it would be easy to find.  I haven't found it yet.

It seems to be a new problem as I have never had issues printing these labels in the past.  I have however made custom setting changes to NEW labels recently but it wasn't to the L7163's but who knows, maybe something happened then.

Thanks in advance
Malcolm

my footnotes disappeared

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 08:28 PM PST

I am using Office 365 on Windows 8.1 and I am having all kinds of problems using Word.  The latest one is my footnotes.  All the footnotes for the entire chapter disappeared.  The little numbers are still there but the footnotes themselves are neither at the bottom of the page (where I put them) nor at the end of the chapter.  I thought that maybe it was because there are no page breaks, but I could not figure out how to insert those  There is something called Insert/page break, but it only refers to a break in one particular page.  Also, Page Number is grayed out, so I can't figure out how to number the pages.  What am I doing wrong?  This is so frustrating.

Open Word document vs File New Blank document - one opens much larger than the other

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 07:40 PM PST

Hi - I'm using Word 2007.   When I open a new blank document using the Word icon on my desktop, the page opens at 100% magnification.  However, if I then go to the top left hand side of the screen and use either File-New-Blank document, or the new document icon, when the page opens it is at 150% magnification.  I know there is some way of changing this ... in fact, I saw something about it a few weeks ago on this site, but I can't find it now.   I seem to recall it had something to do with opening visual basics and then adding some code.   The instructions given at the time were very clear and included how to open visual basics - which I don't know!

In any event, about a week or so after I saw that post, my file-new-blank document started opening at a much larger magnification, which I can only assume had something to do with an update of some kind.

Now I'm stuck and it's driving me mad!   Does anyone recall the above post and/or knows how to fix my problem.   I have seen lots of posts for altering the normal.dotx zoom size, but that isn't making any difference to my problem.

Looking forward to any and all replies, with thanks

Field Codes for mailmerge

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 07:08 PM PST

I am trying to enter field codes from an example I found online to do a mail merge to pull out multiple lines for each client into a reminder letter.   For the life of me, I cannot figure how how to get the brackets right. I keep coming up with extra brackets. Is there a trick to entering these brackets?

Here is the example I am trying to enter. 

{QUOTE{IF{MERGESEQ} = 1 {SET Key""}{SET LastKey {Key}}}{IF{MERGEFIELDCIENTCODE}<> {Key} "{IF{MERGSEQ}< 1"

Can you give me some guidance on entering codes, I know you have to use the F9 to enter all of them. 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

WORD 2010 reverted files to 97-2003 version when copied to another folder -- now will not allow renaming with long file names

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 06:09 PM PST

I copied several WORD 2010 (Word document) files to another file folder (from a flash drive to a My Documents folder).  Now, in the My Documents folder, the files have changed their name to short names and have converted themselves to WORD 97-2003 documents!!!!!  And, when I open them and try to do a SAVE AS to re-convert them to WORD 2010 documents and restore their original long file names, the system will not allow the long names!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have done this several times before with no problem.......What the heck could have happened this time?!?!?!??  The sad part is that I deleted the original WORD 2010 files from the flash drive after copying them over.

When you reloaded from the recovery media it reinstalled the Office '03
trial software that was shipped with your original machine. If you had been
using Word '03 for more than the original 60 days you had to have activated
it (converted the trial) using a code that was provided with the machine.
You need to look through all the doentation you received with the laptop
to find the product key for Office. It is not the one on the bottom of the
laptop but will be within the paperwork.

If you can't find the key, before you attempt to install any other Office
version at all, you need to uninstall the '03 trial that was installed with
the rebuild. Go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs in XP or in
Programs and Features in Vista to uninstall the software. Once removed,
clear any temporary files and reboot the computer before installing the new
software.

Enterprise 2007 Configuration Loop

Posted: 01 Sep 2008 06:33 PM PDT

Thanks for the information, unfortunately I have already tried this one and
it does not solve the problem.
At this point I need to advise that I have resolved the issue.
The thought of rebuilding my laptop was not an option so I had to manually
uninstall all MS Office 2007 enterprise products and any other MS products
that could have been causing the problem.
In my case I had to remove
Web Expressions, Project, Visio, and the full office 2007 suite.

The following Knowledgebase assisted in this process.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928218

Once removed and rebooted I undertook a full reinstall of the office
applications suite.
All issues have been resolved.
I suspect that you could run through teh standard uninstall process “go to
control panel, add remove progs, etc.” But this does not remove all the
directories and registry entries that may be causing the issue.
I hope that this is of some use to anyone else out there.

tyler, to find out what version you have, open one of the office programs in
the office suite, say Word. click on that funny circle office logo in the
upper left corner.
*click on Word Options at the bottom of the dialogue box
*click on Resources in the left column
*click on About in the box that pops up
you will get the About Microsoft Office Word box that will state in no

it will also have a hyperlink so you can view the license terms (eula), too.

Popup error installing Office 2007 Enterprise.

Posted: 28 Aug 2008 01:49 AM PDT


Hi Nick,

In Add/Remove programs in the Windows control panel 'system' tool check the location for both Windows and user TEMP= and TMP=
variables to see if they're using a mapped or network or removable drive.

Check to see if the Windows drive has 2GB or more of free space on it.

Disconnect any mapped drives that aren't needed and turn off your antivirus software and any other running apps when running setup.

By default the pst is in Users\'name'\App

I have a feeling copying the old Users folders back may have caused
problems, but a Vista group is the place to ask about that.
Within OL2007 examine the properties of 'Personal Folders' >Advanced Tab and
see what the path/name of the file is.
Then in Vista search to include hidden for *.pst and see/note what is found.
If an outlook.pst existed in the default location when you reinstalled 2007
if it created a new pst it would be named outlook1.pst

Thanks Bob, I did find out that my CD is ok. It had an issue with my kodak
software so I deleted it and the CD works fine. No thanks to the Dell and MS
support people. I did a reinstall but it did not work to change the 4094 in
the add/remove area. It is still 4094 mb. I am afraid to uninstall the
Office just in case I can not get it reinstalled properly. Where else can I
find the size of the program to see if it comes up the same size?

Want to Buy Office 2007, Need Help First

Posted: 26 Aug 2008 01:19 PM PDT

Do you have an accredited teacher on staff, and do you offer educational
programs? If so you might want to call MS and see if you qualify for
“Academic Pricing”. A full version of Office Pro is only $270 with academic
pricing.

You might not qualify but it’s worth a try.

Getting reports out of Project Microsoft Project

Getting reports out of Project

Posted: 15 Feb 2006 05:51 PM PST


Hi John,
Thanks for the promt reply.
I am not manually entering the dates. I have a duration column in there as
well which I can estimate how long a particular task is going to take.
I am still having all sorts of trouble getting the reports out.
Basically my 10 main tasks are nav charts. The sub tasks under these
individual charts are the processes needed to make and provide Quality
assurance to these charts. Most of these sub tasks are linked ie one cant
start to the other finishes.
I have the task name with sub tasks, duration(days), start, finish and
resource names(employees). these charts run for approx the next 4 months.
What i need is to be able to report when the resource names next become free
so i can allocate them to the next available task.

how to make a macro run other macros

Thanks, Jack. After all that, all I needed the macro to look like was
this:

Sub Pubs_Test2()
'
' Pubs_Test2 Macro
' Macro copied from Excel 2/15/2006 by Me
'

'
Pubs_one
Pubs_two
Pubs_three

And it works like a charm!

Great! Thanks.

No task to finish on the weekend?

Posted: 15 Feb 2006 12:11 PM PST


Hi,

I understand your dilema well.

Set up a second calendar which has Saturday and Sunday as non working. Call
it 5 day calendar (orignal eh). Then assign that calendar to the relevant
tasks. Now you can have a project which can work seven days per week where
appropriate, but only five days for 'office' type functions. You could also
set up the resources with the five day calendar as well and leave the tasks
on a seven day calendar and that would give the same result.

Hope this is of some help

Regards

Linking tasks not in the same project

Yes you can.

(a) Let's say you have "Project One.mpp" and "Project Two.mpp"

(b) Let's say you want Project One Task 5 as a predecessor
to Project Two Task 7

(c) Open both projects up in MS Project (any version)

(d) Double-click on Task 7 in Project Two

(e) Click on the "Predecessors" Tab

(f) In the ID column, type in: Project One\5

(g) Hit return.

(h) The task is now connected.

If the user defined fields are task based the following code should

Team Foundation Server /Project Integration Issues - Hey Dale/Gary

Rod and others:

The more I read and experiment with VSTS/TSF the more I realize how poorly
these products are integrated. For example, TSF does not store task
dependencies (sucessors or predecessors).

Also, data is not LINKED to Project Server, rather COPIED to a .MPP file
WHEN YOU REQUEST it to be COPIED. And yes, I mean COPIED and not LINKED.

Open .docx file from mac Finder in Word (office 365), not Pages.

When I locate a docx file in my iMac Finder and double click it, it opens in Pages, not the Word program in Office 365. How can I tell the system to open the file in Word rather than Pages?

How do I stop the Microsoft format in a MailMerge Wizard?

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 01:22 PM PST

Apparently the mail merge has a weird format in the address block when using the MailMerge
Wizard.  It forces a strange double spacing in the fields.

It gives me:

FirstName LastName

Address

City

State

When I want the normal:

FirstName LastName

Address

City

State

I tried to use <shift><Enter> at the ends of the lines but when I went to next recip[ient and back, all the Micorsoft spaces were back.  How silly is that?

How do I override this corruption?

Possible to shade certain cells in a table of the Calendar Wizard?

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 09:50 AM PST

Good Afternoon!

I have been using the Calendar wizard for many years now and love it.  Esp. with a couple of tweaks last year to make it work perfectly with Word 2010 (to get the border lines back and to have 2 possible wizards to choose form, those with Monday as start of week and another for Sunday), its value has increased tremendously.

But I just was wondering if it would be possible to shade Saturday and Sunday dates (??).  I know this type of thing can be done programmatically in Excel but not sure about Word.

i.e., with Monday as first day of week, Saturday and Sunday fall as last 2 columns so shading the last two columns the second lightest grey would be great to have "populated", if I can use that word with regards to colour ...  And with Sunday as first day of week, then the first and last columns would be shaded grey.

Is this possible in Word 2010?

It would be grand if it is as then this would be completely automated and would require absolutely no user intervention other than the selecting of the dates, etc., at the wizard's start.

Thank you!

Microsoft Office problem when switching language

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 08:26 AM PST

Hello everyone,

I will go straight to the point.

I'm using Word 2003 and  have English and Greek as one of the language I type. Whenever I change the language to Greek and enter Microsoft Word I can't type anything unless I hit space and then suddenly everything works fine. Also it cannot add the symbol ' above the letter. The second problem it never works.

I have reinstalled Microsoft Word 2003, install the Microsoft 2013 also, change keyboard, unistall keyboard drivers and the problem continue happening.

What it can be the cause of this problem? And how it can be fixed?

Word 2013: Mail Merge with Carbon Copy (CC)

Dear Gurus,

I would like to send emails to multiple recipients from an excel emailing list with columns <B>&<C> as To:  email addresses and columns <D> and <E> as Carbon Copied emails addressed. I came to know that Microsoft office doesn't has inbuilt  feature of CC and BCC for Mail Merger  however it is possible to get a VBA code for the same.

Please guide me with the VBA code or with any other method if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Troubleshoot text in columns

I cannot get the text in my columns to balance despite trying everything given in help. I am using Windows 7. The document is continuous text set in 2 columns on A4 Landscape. Column 1 will finish 1 row shorter than column 2 and sometimes Column 2 will finish one line short  -( when Column 1 is right) before the text continues on the next A4 page.  The text is justified and for a book setting so must be even.

Line spacing-one underneath the other

Apparently if I use shift return, it will do this for one line, bringing one line directly under the other one. If you select all and do the same-you delete your whole document.

iOS Office Dropbox Filepath Problems.

Posted: 15 Feb 2015 04:05 PM PST

For the past 2 months, I've been running into a bug on Office for iOS that has gone unresolved. I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone to properly handle this bug. I was hoping someone could help out or tell me this isn't a bug.

Premise:
Whenever I launch Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word on my iPad and try to open (or save) a document in my connected Dropbox folder
Condition:
If there is a '#' in the Dropbox file path, the document will fail to open every time. As soon as I rename the dropbox folder to not have a '#', the document can be opened.


According to https://www.dropbox.com/en/

The '#' is not a disallowed character. 

Example. 
I CANNOT open:
C:\Users\Kyle\Dropbox\School\#451\ControlUnit.xlsx
I CAN open:
C:\Users\Kyle\Dropbox\School\451\ControlUnit.xlsx

Can anyone else confirm this problem? This does not seem to be a problem on the word/excel [tablet] app on android, but I think it does on the android mobile [phone] app.
