Getting rid of read only status of document

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 02:07 PM PST

I have one long, over 700 pages, document that consistently shows up as Read-only.  So every time I change it , i need to resave it as a new document and delete the old one.  Since it is in a oneDrive file, this means it must resync every time.  And, oddly, when I go to delete the old document, it says I can't since it is in use by Word even tho I closed it. 

I have checked its properties, and the Read-only box is not checked.  

None of the otehr doucment in teh folder have this problem.  

any ideas - is it too long.

Word Form Design

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 12:05 PM PST

Hi I am looking for some guidance and hope you all can help...... I work for a construction company where we day in day out have to fill in a Method Statement template made in word. When I say a template it is a basic word document with headings which we have to fill out with details of the job, scope of works and method etc. What I would like to do is help the project manager by having some sort or Q&A i.e. a userfrom which asks questions relating to each of the headings in the template. I would then like to be able to automatically construct the detail for the Method Statement based upon the answers!? Is this something that can be created in Word or will it be to in depth and maybe a more custom software would be best........ If so is there any advice on things to look at?

I thank you all in advance for any advice!

Problem with Form functionality once I save (MS Word 2010)

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 11:14 AM PST

I am trying to create a form in MS Word.  On the developer tab, I select a combination of plain text, drop down and date picker options.  When done, I click on Protect Document, Restrict Editing and Formatting, I check the "allow only this type of editing in the document," check "filling in forms" and click on "Yes, Start Enforcing Protections."  I enter a password and the form seems to work.

I then save the form.  When I retrieve the form, the cursor stays at the top and does not move.  The form does not work.   I would appreciate the help to figure out this problem.  Thank you!

How do I connect Google Drive as a connected service for storage in Office?

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 10:24 AM PST

I'm running on Windows 8.1 with Office Professional Plus 2013. 

No matter where I look, or what I do - I can't seem to add google drive as a connected service for data storage. I've tried using scripts advised online, using youtube tutorials as walkthroughs but I just cannot seem to get it to work. 

I'd imagine office would be able to do this automatically by now? 

Has anyone been successful in a similar situation, who can help?

Word Macro does not record menu selections when sizing a picture

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 09:22 AM PST

I am trying to record a macro that adjusts the width of a picture I select to 5". The Word 10 document is based off a normal.dotm template.

When I start the macro recording the first keystroke I do is a Ctrl+Shift+ left cursor key, to select the picture I want to resize to a width of 5 inches. The macro picks up that keystroke, all subsequent keystrokes, which are utilizing options on the word menu, are not recorded?

I have tried using both the F10 key and the ALT key options to select the word menu options that resize the selected graphic. The keystrokes work during the recording and do resize the selected graphic to a width to 5 inches; however, none of the corresponding keystrokes after selecting the graphic are captured by the macro?

The only info that is captured during the whole resize task is the following information:

Sub Resize_5()
'
' Resize_5 Macro
'
'
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
End Sub

Any ideas why the macro is not recording the subsequent menu keystrokes... this is not the first time I have had a problem like this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Conditional Label Merge Question

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 06:41 AM PST

I am trying to create a mail merge with labels, where sometimes there are two people and sometimes one. When the second name is present, I'd like there to be a new label, but skip creating a new label if "name 2" is empty.

I'm so close...

I have

{MERGEFIELD NAME1}
{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF} {IF {MERGEFIELD NAME2}<> "" "{MERGEFIELD NAME2}

{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF}" ""}

And I think what I need is:

{MERGEFIELD NAME1}
{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF} {IF {MERGEFIELD NAME2}<> "" "Enter a tab code or something here to push the information to another label {MERGEFIELD NAME2}

{MERGEFIELD SOMEOTHERSTUFF}" ""}

Is this possible? It would make my life so much easier... I could even take a vacation!

Many thanks in advance.

Can TC fields be used to build the Navigation Pane?

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 06:38 AM PST

I built a table of contents using TC tags. However, it doesn't build the navigation pane. For formatting reasons, I don't want to just use the Heading styles to build the table of contents (which would obviously build the navigation pane, but it would break what I'm trying to do with other formatting). So does anyone know if there's a switch I can use with TC fields that would make them work properly with the Navigation Pane?

Also, can someone tell me why in the world they WOULDN'T work that way? Why would I want to build a table of contents and NOT have the navigation pane also work??? (Sorry, venting)

WORD 2013 - Track Changes

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:44 AM PST

Hi

I am reviewing a document in WORD that has been reviewed in track changes a number of times. There are deletions, insertions and comments throughout the document. However, whilst I can see the name of the person who has deleted wording and/or inserted a comment I cannot see any of the words they actually deleted (because the person's name appears on the far left whilst their deletion/comments start on the far right and thus, you cannot see any of it OR I can just see the first line of their comment and I have to rely on the review panel for the rest of the comment which makes reviewing the document really difficult).  Weirdly, this only seems to be an issue with some documents I am reviewing and not others... 

Thanks for your help.

Manually resizing table columns in Word - cursor issue

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:10 AM PST

Since switching to Word 2013 I have found it very fiddly to position the cursor just right to allow me to manually adjust table column width. It switches from arrow cursor to text cursor far too quickly. Unless you painstakingly ease the pointer towards the cell border millimetre by millimetre - a noticeable waste of time if you have to do it frequently, which I do - the resize cursor flashes into and out of existence too quickly to be useful.

Is there a trick (a keyboard shortcut would be ideal, but I'll take anything) that calls up the resize cursor quickly and reliably?

Windows 7 Windows Explorer Preview pane

Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:06 AM PST

Windows Support Engineer has requested I post this issue on this forum. I personally feel it is a Windows Explorer issue and not a Word issue, but I am doing as he requested.....:-)......

My Windows Explorer Preview pane lost the ability to view .doc files in the Windows Explorer preview pane.


  1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  2. Office 2003
  3. I have no problem whatsoever opening, viewing, editing, saving, copying, moving, converting, sending, etc. doc files any place other than in Windows Explorer. The message "No preview available" appears in the prev pane when a doc file is selected. I used to be able to see the full contents of the document in the preview pane.
  4. I CAN view ALL kinds of files in the preview pane EXCEPT .doc. I can view pdf, graphics (vector) files, and all kinds of usual and unusual image files.
  5. I always used to be able to view .doc 2003 previews in the Windows 7 Windows Explorer Preview pane!!! (Contrary to many old posts which say this is not possible.)
  6. I have Sage Thumbs, DM Thumbs, and Pictus installed. I have already run the Repair Sage Thumbs utility, which usually fixes any problems with the Preview pane, thumbnails, and file icons.
  7. Please do not suggest returning the system to a restore point.
  8. Please do not suggest possible solutions which are not relevant to Word 2003 and Windows 7....:-)....

I assume some setting has changed somewhere (perhaps from some Windows Update?).

Many thanks for any relevant suggestions!

Word 2010 End tag doesn't match error

So I have the similar mismatched end tag error in a Word document supposed at line 2 column 1730065. I tried the FixIt tool although didn't expect that to find anything since there were no formulas and my Office has been updated with the service packs. I did try using an XML editor but I was just getting lost. I suppose I can recreate the whole thing but there was a lot of work and if it's an easy fix that someone can help with it would be great.

Slight difference gets magnified

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 09:02 PM PST

I have two versions of my document that are supposed to be identical. But on one specific page, one document contains one more line at the bottom of a specific page than the other. This difference gets magnified as the document proceeds until one doc has a whole extra page. (I don't want the extra page.) This messes up my page "parity" (each major part should start on an odd page). I don't know why there is a difference. I've checked the page size, margins, and styles and they are the same. This problem has cost me almost a week of editing and I never know when the difference might pop up again. Any ideas?

Can't change default Word dictionary

Posted: 04 Mar 2015 08:30 PM PST

I've noticed that my Word dictionary is stuck in "English (U.S.)" as default. If I click on the dictionary button at the bottom of Word doc and change to English (Australia) after message "This change will affect all new documents based on NORMAL template" I select "Yes". BUT When I re-open the doc it reverts to English (US) and if I check "Options" to change dictionary to English (Australia) it is already set as default.

How do I get Word to use English (Australia) as the default dictionary permanently? Why do I even have an Australian dictionary if it can't be used as default? Do I need to change setting on templates and if so how do you do this?

Appreciate any suggestions.

Macro to Delete Unnecessary Spaces

I edit engineering specifications. The specification numbers are in this format: Section XX XX XX (Example: Section 26 52 17). However, there are times where the client wants the numbers to be Section XXXXXX (i.e. Section 265217) or on rare occasions Section XX XXXX (Section 26 5217). How can I create a macro that will combine those three numbers into one? I'd like it to have a yes/no option to it. Thank you.

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?

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.

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.)

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,

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?

Installing Microsoft Outlook 2007

Posted: 27 Oct 2008 03:02 PM PDT

Create a folder on your desktop called Office 2007. Put in your DVD or CD,
whichever you have. Stop the automatic installation. Right click on your
DVD or CD drive and select Explore. Once the DVD/CD is displayed, select
all (Edit->Select All) then Edit->Copy to folder - select the folder you
created on the desktop.

Double click the folder on your desktop, browse to setup.exe and double
click on that. Follow the prompts.

Keep your CD/DVD AND the case for when you may need to reinstall or repair
Office.

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.

No you dont Export any Outlook Data, or Import any for that matter.
Uninstalling a program doesnt impact on the data files.
Make a backup of your data, which you should have any way, with outlook data
that only requires you to copy the outlook *.pst file(s) with outlook closed
to some other location.

Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

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???

Setup is unable to proceed

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 12:30 PM PST

I run Windows 7 Home Premium with 64 bit operating system

I have had Office Home and Student 2010 installed for some time without problem.

I now can not access Word using the desktop icon or via programs. I have tried to reinstall from the original disk but keep getting error messages saying that setup is unable to proceed. I have tried troubleshooting without success.

NB Excel and Powerpoint appear to still be working fine.

Any suggestions ?

Microsoft Word problem when trying to number lines manually after reaching 6

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:14 AM PST

So i was trying to number some lines like this

1.1.

1.2.

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.

4.2

5.

6.1

6.2

7.1

7.2

etc...

also i tried adding 5.1. instead of 5. it still doesn't continue numbering to 6.1. and so on.

any tips? help on whats wrong here?

thanks

Count word occurrences in a Word Table

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:00 AM PST

I have a table in Word that has three columns. I need to count the number of "Y's" in the third column (rows 3-33) and total them at the bottom. How do I do this? I know it is easy in Excel, and I know I can paste a worksheet into Word from Excel, but that looks sloppy. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

Copy and Pasting from From Website to word, wordpad or notepad, ( not copying everything, cells correctly)

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PST

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. The systems clipboard needs to be cleared and reset. The only solution i have found is to use CCleaner as it clears everything from temporary system files and temp system files. 

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

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PST

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.

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.

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.
