Page number only starts at 2 or 0, for even-layout page Posted: 26 Feb 2015 02:43 PM PST Hello, I want my body matter to start with a page that has the gutter on the right. Since I have mirror margins for my doc, I could only achieve this by setting the first page of the body matter, which is also where a new section of the doc starts, as a SectionStart=EvenPage, from Page Layout. However, that necessarily makes the page number starts with 2, and if for the fotter's page number field I choose StartAt=0 instead of 1, then it actually does start at 0. It seems I have the problem described here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283292) but those workarounds didn't help. Can't the parity of the page (as regards the side of the gutter) be independent from its parity as regards page numbering, so my numbering can start at 1 even though the first page is laid out as an even page? Thanks for any suggestions. |
CREATE MACRO FOR "ACCEPT CHANGE" & "REJECT CHANGE" Posted: 26 Feb 2015 02:27 PM PST I have Word 2013. I want to create a keyboard driven macro that accepts changes made in Track Changes and one that rejects such changes. In my previous version of Word (Word 2003) I was able to do this easily, assigning a keyboard combination of "Alt + W" to accept changes, and "Alt + Q" to reject them. After several tries I have been unable to do this, even after following the "Help" instructions (which I found wanting). Can someone take me through the steps for word 2013? |

When creating a form, how do I make a drop down menu within the drop down menu itself? Posted: 26 Feb 2015 01:49 PM PST So I am trying to create a form with a drop down menu with the legacy tools, and the drop down form field box. I have about 48 things to put into the drop down menu and I believe the limit is 25, so I would like to put a drop down menu within the drop down menu itself, so when users selected the drop down menu, they are given 4 options and when they go to one of the options in the drop down menu they have more options to choose from in each of the 4 selections. I hope this makes sense to someone. I am currently using word 2010 edition and if there is any information you need to solve this problem, please let me know. |

Wrap text "through" an image Posted: 26 Feb 2015 11:48 AM PST I have done this several time in the past; even just a few weeks ago. However all of a sudden now I cannot get the text to go "through" the image no matter what I do. It will not let the cursor get inside the image. |
Optional Paragraphs - use Building Blocks? Posted: 26 Feb 2015 11:45 AM PST I'm creating a template for a document that has several optional paragraphs. I know how to easily use a Building Block Content Control for most of them, however, there is one place in the document where you either insert a certain paragraph or you insert nothing at all. How can I set up this situation so that if the paragraph isn't needed, then the content control - and the paragraph which contains it - get deleted? I'm thinking I need to create a procedure for the ContentControlOnExit event, but I'm not exactly sure what that procedure might be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeri |
Outlook Form Issue - has not be solved when posted in outlook forum Posted: 26 Feb 2015 10:56 AM PST Sorry to bother this board but I'm desperate for an answer to this Outlook 2010 forms question: I have created a new outlook form with various created fields. I have saved this form in the organization library folder and a copy of it to my personal folder. When I use and send the form I see all the fields, fill them out and press send. The person I send it to does not see any of the fields or anything I have written. The only thing they see is what I type in to, from, subject and in the message body. What have I done wrong? Thank you. |
Readability Statistics to calculate GULPEASE Index Posted: 26 Feb 2015 10:16 AM PST I created a macro to calculate the GULPEASE Readability Index for Italian language. When I run it, I get run-time error '4658', that is, «Application-defined or Object-defined error» Here is the macro: Sub Readability() Dim DocStats As String Dim MBTitle As String Dim rsi As ReadabilityStatistics Dim rs As ReadabilityStatistic Dim rs_words, rs_phrases, rs_chars, gp As Double MBTitle = "Statistiche di leggibilità" DocStats = "" Set rsi = ActiveDocument.Content.ReadabilityStatistics For Each rs In rsi DocStats = DocStats & rs.Name & ": " & rs.Value & vbCrLf Next rs ' Calculate GULPEASE rs_words = Replace(rsi(1).Value, ",", "") rs_phrases = Replace(rsi(4).Value, ",", "") rs_chars = Replace(rsi(2).Value, ",", "") gp = 89 + ((300 * rs_phrases - 10 * rs_chars) \ rs_words) DocStats = DocStats & "Indice GULPEASE: " & gp & vbCrLf MsgBox DocStats, vbOKOnly, MBTitle End Sub The Replace statements are necessary since ReadabilityStatistics returns number with comma as thousands separator which is interpreted by VBA on Italian platforms as decimal separator, changing completely the results of any arithmetic calculation :-( Pressing DEBUG I get the line where the error occurs: «For Each rs In rsi» Any help appreciated. |
Sorting fonts Posted: 26 Feb 2015 08:35 AM PST I wish there was a way to sort fonts by type. Certain times I want to use a font that looks like handwriting, Another time: Old Western print; childish print, etc. I think you get the idea. If I could create categories then sort my fonts into those categories so I see just the fonts I want to use for a particular purpose. |
Lost autosaved document on iPad office Posted: 26 Feb 2015 08:27 AM PST Hi, I have spent 3 hours researching my next sermon...copying and pasting to a document that was set up to autosave. I went to another app and came back and the document wasn't there--anywhere! This is not the first time this has happened. It has happened enough that when I am typing anything important, I take the time to email it to myself so that if it is lost, I have a backup. Does anyone know what is going on? Thank you. |
English word document in attachment received in foreign text Posted: 26 Feb 2015 07:55 AM PST The other day I received an email from a reputable source, a society to which I belong, with an attachment. I opened it as not likely to be suspicious, and the text was in what looked like an Asian script in my Win7 Home 64 browser. My wife received an identical email and opened it with an Apple IPod. Her's was in After being detached, both became foreign text. However using Polyglot 3000 by inserting a small part of the foreign text, the whole attachment was viwable in English. Can anyone suggest why this oddity may have occurred, is it something to do with my machine? If so what need I do? Or was the anomaly created remotely? |

Custom Style, Automatic Indenting Posted: 26 Feb 2015 06:08 AM PST Hello! I have a question about creating custom styles. First off, I have a document format that follows the following format (this is a rough approximation): Heading 1 Right now, each of those levels is a different style. There is another style for "quote" that comes in like this (for some reason I can't indent the sub-bullets as above, but they're supposed to be -- I think you get the idea!): Heading 1 TEXT TEXT TEXT There is another custom style called something like "text" that controls the formatting for all of the TEXT entries with one key difference: I would like the text to indent according to the bullet it is nested under. I understand that I could have three separate TEXT styles (one for each indent level), but I feel like there must be some automatic option so that all of the entries can follow the same style, but be indented slightly differently. Any thoughts here? Thanks for the help! |

Word trying to be clever stuffing up my formatting Posted: 26 Feb 2015 05:22 AM PST Hi guys, I am trying to use form fields (legacy) in a Word document. And one of the fields is a person's name. Now, I am a university student, because of my course requirements surnames always have to be capitalised. However, Word thinks it's being clever by changing the surname from capitals to first letter capitalisation only; even though I've told it to ignore words that are in uppercase. I have even turned off the option to check uppercase words but it is still doing it and it is getting beyond a joke because I've been through all of the options to do with spelling and grammar but can't stop it from doing it. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks! |
Protect Document and Disable the Show/Hide Button Posted: 26 Feb 2015 04:55 AM PST I have a document that will be posted on our Intranet at work. There is one part of the document will need to be hidden to fellow employees but unhidden when the user wants to view the verbiage. I'm trying to avoid creating duplicate copies, one with the verbiage and one without. When I hide the text, it works great. However if someone has their show/hide on, you can see the verbiage. I want to use the hidden text command and then turn the Show/Hide off and have it stay that way. When I want to view the verbiage, I want a password to allow that. I have not been successful so far in accomplishing this task. Any suggestions? Is it possible or will I need a macro? I always appreciate your time and assistance. |
Master Document - Combining multiple large sub-documents in Office 2013 Posted: 26 Feb 2015 03:50 AM PST I want to combine eight separate WORD documents, each large, containing many embedded photos and charts, (typical file size 150-200 MB), in order to print as a single document with continuous page numbering. I thought the Master Document approach would be the solution, but can't get it to work. Several tests combining just two or three sub-documents, seemed to go well, but as the number/size of the sub-documents increased, so I ran into trouble - WORD either returned an error claiming that a file named ~WRLxxxx dcouldn't be found, or it simply hung. Either way, it was a failure. Reading through previous Community threads on the subject in 2007 and 2010, it seems this has always been a problem area in WORD. Can anyone tell me how I can combine these eight files to print as a single continuously numbered (and ideally indexed - but I can live without that) document. Note that the total size of the eight WORD files is approx. 900 MB). Thanks in advance for any tips. Ron in France |
Spell Checker Posted: 26 Feb 2015 03:38 AM PST I'm translating a document Heb > Eng. Shortly after beginning, I noticed that the spell checker isn't working. I tried to activate and re-activate the spell checker, at no avail. When I clicked on "Recheck Document", to the dialog box This operation resets the spelling checker and the grammar checker so that Word will recheck words and grammar you previously checked and chose to ignore. Do you want to continue? I answered "Yes". After opening a dialog box for correcting a Hebrew name, to which I answered with "Ignore", I got the answer that the check for the entire document had finished , and it SKIPPED THE SECTION THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN MARKED TO SKIP. So far, I haven't been able to re-activate the Spell Checker. HELP, please! TIA Shmuel |

Figure and table hyperlinks failed when exported to PDF. Posted: 25 Feb 2015 07:58 PM PST All cross-referencing hyperlinks work fine in word document, but when saved as a PDF document the hyperlinks to the figures and tables seemed to not work anymore. It prompted a security warning: Neither of the security warning options fixed the problem. This only happens to the hyperlinks from the 'List of Figures' and 'List of Tables's table of content, in other words, cross-reference hyperlinks anywhere else worked fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?? Thanks. |

Navigate selected Style occurrences Posted: 25 Feb 2015 04:05 PM PST In the Styles Pane (not the Styles QAT) are the listed Styles. When I choose the down arrow associated with a particular Style an option to Select All XY Instance(s) appears. This is useful for obvious reasons. However, when the Styles are indeed Selected and the document scrolls to the first occurrence how does one then scroll to the next or previous occurrence? The solution is not in the Find tool because for whatever reason it does not include all Style options within its abbreviated Styles list. Hmm... |
