Microsoft Word - Image in digital signature scales wrong.

Microsoft Word - Image in digital signature scales wrong.

Image in digital signature scales wrong.

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 02:27 PM PST

I have an end user that is moving to a Surface from a laptop.  Both machines run Windows 8.1 with Office 2013 installed and are fully patched.  He has a digital signature that uses an image of his physical signature.  When he digitally signs an Office document, the image is inserted.

On his laptop all is fine.  On the Surface, the signature scales too large to fit in the signature box and becomes fuzzy and unreadable.  I've seen write-ups on there being issues with how scaling works between HD systems like the Surface and Office 2013.  I assume this has to do with that.

Is there a setting within Office to stop Office from scaling this image?

Problem Closing Microsoft Office

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 02:01 PM PST

Anytime I try to close a file in either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel (maybe Publisher too) by clicking the x in the top right corner, it says "Microsoft (Word, Excel, etc) has stopped working:  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem." and then it tries to recover the file and reopens it.  Any ideas?

Linking Word 2007 and Excel 2007

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 12:46 PM PST

I have look everywhere and tried everything I can think of so solve this over the last week. Any suggestions/solution would be greatly appreciated. 

Background:

I currently am creating a project where a contract in Word is being updated by Excel with data. Both the word and excel file are in the same directory. However, I need to copy this directory to each client, so that each client has their own unique contract and data. 

Issue:

Initially, everything works fine. Using the embedded hyperlinks back to excel, the data populates perfectly. My problem becomes when I copy the files to a new directory. After the copy, the word doc continues to point back to the excel in the last folder (where it was originally created), not the one in its own folder. 

Of course I could create new links for every word doc, but for the number of clients and links I need this to work for it would make the entire project a waste. I would like to copy the "template" word and excel into a new folder and have the word doc only pull from the excel within it's folder. 

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

issues with Navigation pane viewing styles properly

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:41 AM PST

Good Morning,

I am on Window 8.1 and using word 2013.  When I am using the Navigation Pane some of my headings don't display with the proper styling.  Heading 1 should be all caps and in the document is correct.  Now the other issue that comes out of this is when I convert the document to pdf the bookmarks look like what I see in the Navigation Pane, however even when I re-apply styles to the headings it doesn't seem to fix the issue.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the cause?  When I have long documents and I have to fix the level 1 headings by hand in the pdf it is very time consuming.   See screen shot below of my Navigation Pane.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

How to use a label template in mail merge

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:28 AM PST

I have downloaded at .dotx that looks good.

When I try to use it as a mail merge base, I can insert merge fields, but I cannot Updater labels, nor do I know how to propagate the initial label setup to the other 29 entries on the label.

I am sure I am missing something major here! :)

IF statement to show MERGEFIELD value, if exists, else show underline (Word 2013)

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:16 AM PST

Mail merge source document includes field WRECID, which contains either a ten-digit string or nothing.

If data exists in the field, I want to show it; If the field is empty, I want an underline (specified by 20 underscore characters in the literal).

{ IF { MERGEFIELD WRECID } = "" "____________________" "{ MERGEFIELD WRECID }" } results in the literal "MERGEFIELD" instead of either the value in the field or an underline.

If I remove the spaces before "MERGEFIELD" & after "WRECID" in the condition:

{ IF {MERGEFIELD WRECID} = "" "____________________" "{MERGEFIELD WRECID}" } results in the literal "WRECID}" in all cases.

I've tried various other configurations but I never get what I'm looking for.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

IGNORANCE UPDATE!!! - It turns out that the connection with the source data file was broken, so I reinstituted that & tried again. Sorry, but I'm quite the novice at this.

The result is that I do get the underline for records with no value in the WRECID field but I still get a literal, rather than data, for records with data in the field.

How can I accomplish my goal?

User defined color palettes for highlight, font and borders

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:09 AM PST

The default color palettes provided by Word and other Office applications most often do not work well for display and printing.  Far too often I see printed documents produced by others which undoubtedly looked fine on screen but when printed at the last minute prove to be a nightmare as printed.  In some cases there are substantial differences between color printers and to a lesser extent between monitors.  

I don't expect MS to resolve this by changing the default colors but I do suggest that at the very least they allow the user to design a template whereby the default "Standard Colors" can be defined and these selections will be durable when the distributed document is viewed or printed.  A more user friendly option would be to allow the user to define what is titled "Standard Colors" or perhaps add a line of "Custom Colors" in the font, fill and border dropdowns.  As an option with would be valuable  allow IT to add a modified standard palette to all installs.  Many graphic savvy companies have specific colors that are to be used for documents.  They employ some workarounds which crudely handle some applications but this is not a competent answer to the problem.  

It appears that much of this could be accomplished by adding a setup option at the bottom of the color selection dropdown which is essentially the same for font, fill and borders.  Modifying the highlight selection dropdown would much the same.  While it would be foolish for me to suggest that these changes are easy I am not a stranger to coding.  The changes discussed essentially affect the color definitions stored in a table which are looked up as needed.  These changes do not affect the behavior of other features nor do they limit the range of colors available.

In light of the many complicated and little used features that have been added to Word I think it is time to add some long needed features that will be put to immediate use by many.

No margins in Word 2013

selected text in word 2013 is TOO PALE TO READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone offer some guidelines regarding the copying of Arabic script text between Microsoft-based applications

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 05:55 AM PST

For starters, I can't read Arabic.  I don't know anything about it, other than it runs Right To Left.

We employ translators that send us phrases in Arabic and other languages that we eventually use in a mail merge.

The phrases come in an Excel spread sheet and we first copy them into a Dot Net 4.0 web app that I wrote (uses Telerik RadTextboxes).  

The phrases are then saved to a MS SQL database and retrieved by the mail merge using a view.  

For lack of a better question, how do you insure Arabic phrases remain intelligible and correctly oriented when copied/pasted/queried/whatever across multiple applications?  

According to our translator, 'Word won't even allow us to copy and paste Arabic text into Word without making the words read backwards.' 

(We're using Office 2013 and most of our machines run Windows 7.  Most of our databases are 2012 with some as old as 2008 R2.)

 

"Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error."

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 02:14 AM PST

Okay so this issue has been going on for quite a while now. Every time I use Word and try to save a file, I get this message: "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error." My PC has Office 2013 installed and I'm using Windows 8.1. Plus, I haven't installed any add-ins either.

Anyway, is there a way to deal with this issue? Thanks.

Numbering Value Inconsistent

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 01:42 AM PST

Hi,

I have written a document with headings (from Heading 1 to Heading 4). 

Most of the time I get what I am after i.e.

4. Heading 1

4.1 Heading 2

4.1.1 Heading 3

4.1.1.1 Heading 4

But for some reason, in two of the chapters the headings for level three display out of order e.g.

4. Heading 1

4.1 Heading 2

1.4.1 Heading 3

4.1.1.1 Heading 4

The level 4 heading is still in order, it is just the level 3 heading in two chapters which have the first and second number swapped around. 

When I right click on the numbers and select 'Set Numbering Value...' it comes up with a box and I set the value to 4.1.1, but the preview below still says 1.4.1 

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can I create a link that triggers a template to make a copy, rather than open the template itself?

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:50 PM PST

Hello, Hive-Mind. 

I use a Word template for a type of pre-formatted document that I use frequently in my work. I want to insert a link to the document in another document so that I can create instructions to staff and just have them open a copy of the template right from the instructions on how to use it.

But the link generally opens the template itself, so that any changes my team would make will be permanent in the template. Is there a way to set up a link so that it goes the extra step and doesn't just open the template but triggers it to open a copy ready to work on and save as a new doc?

I know there are work-arounds such a as having a shortcut to the template on the desktop, etc. But under the conditions I have I need something like the above.

Thanks for any ideas.

Future Recommendation for Microsoft Word

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:45 PM PST

Hello all, 

Just a quick suggestion for Microsoft: Add a citation (MLA,APA) template/format option so you don't have to manually change the margins, spacing, etc.

After some brief research I didn't find anything about this already being available in Word, but I figured it would be convenient to have these settings already preset in the program. Let me know what you think.

Sincerely, 

-TylerWS

Just a side note; I primarily use Office 2011 for Mac, but I also have access to Microsoft Office 2010.

Batch link paste

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 06:01 PM PST

Hello,

In MS word 2010, I am trying to replace all 'December 31' to an excel link Book 1, A1.

If I press Alt^-F9, the link shows something like this: {LINK Excel.Sheet.12 "Book1" "Sheet1!R31C1" \a \t}

The problem is that there are many 'December 31' in the word file. Copying and pasting the link manually takes too much time.

Is there a way to replace 'December 31' to the excel link at once?

thanks,

Brian

Certain shape is missing from change shape box

Exporting a PDF from Word looks HORRIBLE

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 03:24 PM PST

I am a Graphic Designer at a print publishing company and I often have client supplied art / layouts made in Word. Technically we aren't supposed to accept Word documents due to all the problems we encounter, but we have to flex on this one to make our clients happy and it always causes headaches for me.

Often, when I open a document, it looks OK in Word - but when I export it to a PDF it goes to absolute garbage - not always, but very often. I've tried opening Word's Advanced options and checking the box that states Word will not compress the image. I've also tried exporting the art to a PDF in every way possible, but it's still REALLY REALLY bad. The settings are supposed to be for print, but they are unacceptable - a screen shot of the Word layout would probably be better.

BUT - If I right click on the image in the file and choose "Save As Picture" I can select a TIFF and the image that was bad before looks GOOD.

Here's an example of exported PDF (top) VS saving the image directly as a TIFF (bottom)

Considering this is OK, I have to imagine the image is actually embedded properly and not just low res or linked to a missing file. My method is usually to export all the images and recreate the layout from scratch in Photoshop, but it's a huge waste of time.


I know that the file I was having problems with today was from and older version of Word. I had saved it and checked the box to preserve compatibility. I recently upgraded to Office 2013 but have always dealt with this issue on a regular basis in older versions of Word too.

I'd just like to export a high-res, print ready, PDF quickly and easily without it becoming unusable garbage. Why is this happening?

upgrading to full version of office

Posted: 27 Oct 2008 05:10 AM PDT

Look at that label again. It's for Windows, not Office. Completely wrong
product. Also, I'm hoping you have a full version of Office on that system
and not just the trial version.

Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:21 PM PST

Hello.

I've been trying to fix this on my paper for a bit now and need help.

When creating table of content the page numbers in TOC come up as letters. Document as it is does not have page numbers listed ( or visible). I've added page numbers in the footer and in TOC they still remain as letters. Deleting and re-creating the TOC did not do anything different. All TOC templates show me only letters as page numbers. Am i missing something?

Cannot download templates from word

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:29 PM PST

Whenever i try to download a word template from within Word 2013 it gives me an error "something went wrong while downloading your template". This happens for every template i try to download. 

when i go to https://templates.office.com/Templates there is no option to download the template, only to open in office 365. there is also no search function on that site which makes it almost useless.

I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling office 2013. I have downloaded and installed all updates for windows and for office and it still doesn't work. I am having this issue on multiple computers. 

I really need help with this issue as it is driving me crazy. 

Word 2013 (running on Windows 8.1) internal page count is incorrect.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:22 PM PST

Weird problem #1: I have a 10 page document created in Word 2013.  The page count in the status bar (lower left bar under the document) says it is 11 pages.  Only 10 pages are visible in print preview (only one printer and its correct driver is installed).  Only 10 pages are visible when I zoom down to look at things in a thumbnail view.  The hard copy comes out as 11 pages with an extra blank page. 

Other weird problem, probably related?: When I click on page one of the document, the page count says "1 of 11".  Click on page two, it says "2 of 11"... this continues correctly until I click on page seven.  When I click on page 7, it says "page 4 of 11".  To sum up, click on page 5: "5 of 11"; click on page 6: "6 of 11"; click on page 7: "4 of 11"; click on page 8: "8 of 11".  And remember, this is a 10 page document (in my world)!

This has nothing to do with inserting page numbers.  This is the internal page count that Word creates, monitors and displays on the status line.

I have tried repairing my Office installation with no result.

Anybody?  Help???

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

4.2

5.

and as i know if i did it like this manually Ms word 2013 will automatically identify this and turn on Numbering function and space the lines as should and tidy up all the work for me.

but after i reach to a number for example 5. with no additional number like 5.1. and then continue numbering like 6.1. it doesn't detect it as a numbering nor even continues the list as i want it

i wanted the numbering to be like this:

1.1.

1.2.

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

SO i just wanted to share my insight and contribute by saying that if you are having issues with copying and pasting from a website (or anything) to another program like word or notepad.

Again use CCleaner as it really helps! 

Macro word 2013 vs 2010

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PST

Hi,

i've made a office word 2010 template with macro.

I am now using Office word 2013.

When i open the document back with Office 2010, macro doesn't work. Word change all my object name, adding 1 to the end.

So for example, textbox became textbox1 and so on. When I enable macro, macro run, but since it can't find my object it ends up in error.

When I open document with word 2013 i don't have any problem at all.

Macro are very simple macro using active x object (for example loading a list into a combo box on document open with .list ecc.)

Could someone help me?

Because I have no clue on how to check out error, since im running just office 2013 and i've to try and send file.

It can be the file is open in read only?

Thank you so much.

Formatting styles issues in Word 2013

I am having a problem with a large composite document with a small number of repeated headings. I've used my own customised styles for these. The problem is that I can't get the 'normal' style to work. I hit enter after the last heading and it defaults to Heading 1; if I click 'Normal' it just reverts to Heading 1. I have tried copying and pasting the contents of the document into a new one, but this issue just transfers to the new document. Please could you advise me how to fix this?

Footers in Report with different page layouts

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:39 AM PST

I work in Word 1013 and do a monthly report with a cover page, TOC and the pages of the report wich contain photos and tables which often requires the pages to turn from Portrait to Landscape and back.

How do I get my text to remain on the edges and centered for page numbers and have the numbers run continuous from portrait to landscape and back without resetting tabs?

There are reports that I spend hours trying to get the footers to behave.

Office 2013 Apps No Longer Copy/Paste Rich formatting

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:52 AM PST

This is driving me nuts, it started a couple of weeks ago and has persisted through updates, restarts, etc. I have just started noticing that I can no longer paste formatted text in any Office application, everything copied turns into stripped down plain text. Copy a richly formatted paragraph out of Word? Pastes into the Outlook text window as plain text. Tables in Excel? Ruined tabbed text in Word. One word of bolded text from Word? Plain text paste into OneNote.

All formatting is getting stripped, and the Paste Special popup does not always appear anymore, when it does, all three choices (keep source, merge, plain) all produced plain text on paste. Control-V? Plain text. Strangely, copy and paste even within the same program strips it out, but dragging and dropping formatted text keeps it.

Some things to help in diagnosis:

Office 2013 Business Premium (this is the forum they sent me to to ask) latest version/patched

Windows 8.1 fully patched and up to date

Skype Click to Call is not installed (already been through that potential fix) In fact, Skype is not installed at all.

Yes I have restarted multiple times.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? This is pretty core functionality that is messed up.

Read Only

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:26 AM PST

Hello. I'm having a problem opening files (.docx). I create a word doc, save it (it uploads to One Drive) then when I go to open it again it only (and always) opens in Read Only format.
It's getting bothersome because I have to change the file name to save it again. Is there some Read Only option somewhere I can uncheck? Why do my docs always open in Read Only?

Also, perhaps unrelated, what's the difference between Office 365 and One Drive. I have both but are unclear how the interact.

Thanks.

I suppose section 2 can be editable by end users to do everything including format photos, anyone can help to solve this problem, many thanks.

Word styles applying to text above and below / corrupting styles / template error

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 03:38 AM PST

I am using a Word 2010 template with multiple styles created.  I have created 3 heading styles.  If I apply Heading 2 to a line of text with a hard return at the end, then apply a different style to the text below, it automatically makes the heading style above, that same style.  If I add a hard return, I can keep my styles, but this leaves gaps in my document.  As soon as I delete the hard return, both lines of text assume the same style...... HELP :-)

I am using word 2010 (although my template is in compatability mode, (so word 97-2003) with windows 7.

experiencing a glitch/problem when using the block library function in Word 2013.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:38 AM PST

When using the block library (/ pre-defined text box) function in Word, I'm experiencing sort of a glitch/problem. 

It seems, as far as I have narrowed down the problem as related to the built-in referencing (for bibliography) system. 

When using blocks (or pre-defined text boxes for that part) with simple text I don't experience any problem, bus as soon as I add the references to the document (and save), something goes wrong.

So, what happends is, when I want to choose a block from the list, they start showing for like half a second (if I'm really fast, I can choose one), but then the list gets all white (see picture below), and I can no longer choose a block (obviously).
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

how to delete a page with data from a word ie.. 1-5 and you dont need page 4

Deleting lines after mail merge

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:11 PM PST

We use mail merge to create multiple reports (in Word) at once for different customers (over 300).  A very simple version of our Word document is below:

Beginning balance                               $XXXXX
Purchases $XXX
Discounts $XX
Fees $XX
Ending balance             $XXXXX

 

First column is the same for every customer, but second one changes (merge field) depending on customer's information (data from Excel).  The problem is that if the value is zero (no discounts or fees) for one or more lines, we delete those lines manually one by one. It is very time consuming and I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to get rid of those lines with a zero in second column...

Thank you in advance

Word doc: How can I change multiple Form Check Boxes at once.

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:44 PM PST

I have 25 pages worth, all the check boxes reside in front of text within one column of a table. They all need to be "X" checked? and its driving me crazy to select and paste (current solution).

Is there a way to select the rows, or all formcheckbox, and make a global type change to make them all "checked"?

new hard drive

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:40 PM PST

I have a MacBok Pro.  When I bought the laptop several years ago, they transferred my stcontents from my old laptop to my new laptop.  That included a version of Office.  Last week, my hard drive started to decay, and I installed a new one.  Now when I try to work on the Word documents I had on my desktop, the machine asks me to activate Word with some Pass Key number.  It won't let me work on them otherwise.  I don't have the old pass key number any more, and I don't think I should have to rent word or office from Microsoft, just because an Apple hard drive wear out.  Any suggestions?

Word 2013 Page Breaks

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm writing an e-book with Heading One attributed to sections throughout the book.  Before I do my TOC — I've placed page breaks immediately before my headings.

Here's what I'm trying to understand...

Every time I hit the page break button — it adds a blank page to my document.  Of course I could remove pages but that doesn't seem to be the right choice.  There must be a reason it does that.  I just don't understand what it is.  

When I turn on the show/hide marker and scroll down the page — it will show me that there are one or two pages between the page breaks.

Does this happen to anyone else? 

Thanks for listening.

In article <com>,
microsoft.com says... 

You can still do it in the recipient policy section, creating a FILTERED
Recipient policy based on one of the AD properties (like COMPANY or
Organization), so that as you change them from the Recipient Policy
section that they te through the email system/users based on
their COMPANY settings in their profile.

We have one group with 50 users and 10 different domains, each one has a
recipient policy that is filtered on the COMPANY name.

This has an added benefit of NOT making default email addresses when you
use COPY to create new users. We create a new OU for each company on the
server and then just right click and COPY users to new accounts instead
of using the new user wizards. The only thing you have to remember is to
manually add them to the company website.

New user accounts not appearing in Outlook

Posted: 12 Nov 2008 11:06 AM PST

Did you mailbox-enable the user?

Is Outlook running in cached mode? If so, five things have to happen--and
in this order--before recipients show up in the GAL in Outlook 2003 with
cached mode, i.e., the Offline Address Book:
1. The object or change must te to the domain controller the RUS
uses.
2. The RUS must run and stamp the object with Exchange attributes.
3. The offline address book must be generated. This is a scheduled
activity.
4. The OAB system public folder must te to the public folder server
the user's Outlook is using.
5. Outlook 2003 must synchronize itself with the offline address book.
This is directed by Outlook.

That checkbox isn't really relevant to deleted item retention & the purposes

One user not receiving Attachments Exchange 2003

Posted: 10 Nov 2008 10:41 AM PST

Ed,

Thanks for your help. I checked the Internet headers and found the
difference was that the one user has a Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat" where the others have a Content-Type: application/msword;
name="ARY....doc". Apparently the Exchange Server is stripping off the
winmail.dat file for this user. Others have received winmail.dat files in the
past.

If the server would always pass the winmail.dat attachments, it wouldn't be
a problem.

I have contacted the sender whose emails usually, but not always loose
attachments, about their settings for this contact.

Thanks,
David
