ERROR! displayed instead of nested formulae in Word-Office 365 under Win 8.1, why? how to avoid this "bug"?

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 03:35 PM PDT

Hi, 

Nobody knows how to let MS-WORD of Office 365 (Office 2013), that runs under Win 8.1, correctly display the "nested mathematical formulas" which I've previously typed in Word_Office 2010. All my formulas display "ERROR!" instead of all the nested formulas in the field codes.

I've three PC's (laptops). Only the most recent one of them has installed win 8.1 and installed Office 365 when bought 3 months ago, and it is that one that I use now in a "Physics" class room to teach this semester.

Before using it, I have had no problem with the display of nested formulas using the other two PC's who have Win 7.  I used to type the formulae during years myself using the field codes, through Ctrl+F9 and Alt+F9, without major problems.

Now, on the new laptop with Win 8.1, the display is full of ERROR! for the nested equations in the files I open in Win 8.1 under Office 365. However, when I type new nested formula it is displayed correctly (astonishing enough, no?). It is evident that I cannot re-type hundreds of my equations in particular for this machine.

I consulted every possible site, and I did not find any solution for that issue.

It seems related to Win 8.1 and or Office 365, someway. Am I wrong?


Your help is appreciated

Thanks.

wits end with Word 365 -- fails to save or open files correctly

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 10:02 AM PDT

Ever since I've been using Word 365, I've been extremely frustrated. I've searched all over the boards, and I don't know what to do.

1.) Sometimes when I try to save a Word document, it tells me the pathname is too long. It takes me several different times (changing the name) to save it. This name could be as simple as "Training File" --- It is the quirkiest thing I've ever seen.

2.) If I successfully save a file, when I go to open it, it tells me the "Director name is not valid" or the pathname is too long!!??? What the heck? I have no way to open the document. After searching the board, people tell me to go to the winword /r to "reregister," but when I do this, NOTHING happens. Nothing.

3.) Some of my Word files automatically convert to PDF's --- FURIOUS.

Somebody please help me, because I have MAJOR work files that are being messed up. I'm at my wits end with Microsoft 365.

In advance, THANK YOU.

Word 2013 Check Box Content Control not working in Word 2003

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 09:28 AM PDT

We have a 2013 Microsoft Office Word Enabled Document that we want to e-mail to clients to complete (it is a questionnaire) with Check Box Content Control to allow clients to put ticks in relevant boxes.

 

However if the clients use Microsoft Office 2003 the document will open but removed the Check Box Content Control.

 

So we are wanting to create a document that will work in any version of Office and allow the Check Box Content Control/User to click on a box and a tick appear, they save the document then e-mail it back to us.

 

It is not essential it is in Word.

 

Has anyone got any ideas?  Below is image of Questionnaire.

cross-referencing a paragraph number in a figure caption works in one part of my doc but not another

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 08:59 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm trying (in Word 2013) to be able to cross reference a figure caption (just Figure XXX) in the text -- the figure number I'm cross referencing also has a cross reference to the paragraph number. In one part of the document the procedure I show below worked. In another part of the document the procedure fails because the list of figures disappears for that figure

To create the cross references I followed these steps.

1. Click on the figure and select "Insert Caption" -- I get the pop up that says "Figure 4" and hit OK. At this point clicking in the doc and selecting Cross-reference shows Figure 4 in the list

2. Highlight the 4 in the newly added figure caption and select cross-reference, reference-type "Numbered-item", insert reference to "Paragraph number" (4.1 in this case. I also add a dash before the 4 by inserting it in the doc and closing out the popups) -- At this point the figure caption reads "Figure 4.1-4". Since this is the first figure in paragraph 4.1, I want the number after the dash to be 1.

3. Select the 4 and change it to 1. --  At this point the figure caption reads "Figure 4.1-1" as I want it to be. I now want to add a cross-reference in the text to this caption

4. Select "Cross-reference" (to figure) -- Now the list does not show Figure 4.1-1 or Figure 4.

I've tried a different procedure, that includes (when I create the figure caption) selecting "Numbering" and checking the "Include chapter number". When I do this I get as a caption "Figure 1-4". It looks like Word thinks the chapter number is "Chapter 1" and it didn't renumber the figures, starting at -1.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Table in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 08:22 AM PDT

I am a teacher of technology and I have been showing the students how to insert a table in Word 2013.  I then show them how to type and insert bullets in the cells.  I have not had this issue happen to me, but the students will have words that split and drop below as if the contents is not fitting in the cell correctly.  I have tried a variety of troubleshooting by selecting the table and selecting to auto fit contents, to changing the margins, to adjusting the bullet margins, and these have helped but it is time consuming.  I wanted to know what could they be doing at the start to get these errors and if there is an easier fix.  I finally walked them through creating a new table and copying the contents from the incorrect table over.  This did help and it copied correctly.

There is no option to Enable Macros in Word 2010

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 10:13 PM PDT

I suppose I should start with explaining that I've been developing in MS Office (primarily Access, Excel, Word, and Outlook) and writing my own VBA and VB code for at least 15 years.  So when I say I wrote my own code, I mean it.  I know that the code I wrote is safe to run on my own computer.  

But Word 2010 won't let me run my own code.  Every time I try to run my own code, I get a message that Macros are Disabled.  And it means it because I *never get the message bar* that is supposed to at least temporarily let me enable macros.  I'm not sure why I don't get the message bar, because I have the message bar enabled in the trust center.  So at the very least I should get that but I don't.

I've tried self-certifying my document, but all that accomplishes is protecting it further.  Once I edit my document I get the message that the certification is being removed due to the document being edited.  This is NOT what I want at all.  

I've tried adding all locations, including network locations, to trusted locations.  It helped once, but since that one time it stopped.  I don't know what magic I did that one time that it worked.

I have macros fully enabled in the Trust Center, despite M$ warning me that my own code is dangerous.

I'm at my wit's end.  I have exactly ONE document.  It's a .docm.  It contains the ONE MACRO that I want to run, that will save me a ton of keystrokes (joke's on me because it's taken 10x the number of keystrokes just to figure out how to enable macros).

How do I get my macro to run????????

Thanks in advance.

Office 2007 is opening Word files that Office 2013 should be opening

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 09:50 PM PDT

Hi,

I installed Office 365 almost a year ago on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

For months I had issues with Word 2013; these were stability issues, specifically when using tables and inserting photos, Word would often stop responding and crash. I also had problems with the "dialogue box open" message whenever I opened Word. In despair I reverted to using Word 2007, which had no stability issues, and both Office 2007 and 2013 are on my computer. More recently I ran a Fixit on Word and it seems to have resolved the stability and the dialogue box issues. I now wish to use Word 2013. However, it seems that the default has reset to Office 2007, and each time I try to open a Word document the MS Office Ultimate configuration process is triggered. This takes some time to load (90 seconds) and then the document opens in Word 2007.

Do I need to uninstall Office 2007 to correct this problem or is there another way?

Thanks in advance!

Ctrl+Alt+F5 hijacked from Word (Win 8.1)

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 09:34 PM PDT

I just noticed that a keyboard shortcut that I had added to a Word 2010 and a Word 2003 template was missing. When I tried to reinsert it using Customize the Ribbon > Keyboard the system would not recognize that key combination. It had no problem with Ctrl+Alt+F4 (or F6) but just did not like F5. I am wondering if some other program has hijacked that key combination. In the meantime, I will probably just change to one that can be used.

I have Snagit, but none of its keyboard shortcuts are to F5 variants.

Seeking Report Template

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 05:13 PM PDT

I have searched through the MS Templates available up to Word 2013 but I cannot find a template for a formal business report.

Such template would have to use the LEGAL heading numbering format.  Apart from that, the less frilly the better.

I have written my own - and that's fine - but the people on my team with less facility with Word need something to use and I don't want it obvious that they get everything from me.

Does MS have such a template, and if so where do I find it?

Thanks

How do I install Chinese and Vietnamese fonts in Office 2010?

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 04:50 PM PDT

Hello,

I need to install Chinese (Taiwanese) and Vietnamese fonts on a PC. I have tried language packs but this is not what the person wanted. Language packs change the entire Windows system to a foreign language. I simply want to keep English but have the capability to install  alternate language fonts. I would also rather not go to a web site other than Microsoft to avoid malware.

How to make a document always open in print layout showing all markup?

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 04:34 PM PDT

We heavily rely on the track changes feature of Word. Since we've switched to office 2013, there have been two problems with track changes. (1) The default setting for displaying tracked changes is for "Simple Markup" (Which doesn't indicate what changes have been made!) instead of "All Markup", and (2) When you open a Word document from Outlook, it opens in "Read Mode" (which also hides tracked changes!) by default, instead of "Print Layout".

Obviously, I can easily switch over to "Print Layout" and "All Markup" on my computer when someone sends me a document with tracked changes.  The problem I'm having is that when I send a document to other people with tracked changes, they don't see them because the changes are hidden on their computers by default!  Is there a way I can save the display options (print layout and all markup) to a file so that when that file is opened on any computer it will display as desired?

The appropriate portions of the EULA for H & S 2007 is duplicated below.
Items in parentheses are my comments.

14. REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may reassign the license to a
different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90
days (basically this means transfer from computer to computer). If you
reassign, that other device becomes the "licensed device." If you retire
the licensed device due to hardware failure, you may reassign the license
sooner. (This section really doesn't apply to a sale.)

15. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. The first user of the software may make a
one-time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a third
party. The first user (you) must uninstall the software before transferring
it separately from the device. The first user may not retain any copies
(disks or paperwork). Before any permitted transfer, the other party must
agree that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software.
The transfer must include the proof of license (the Certificate of Authority
which has the key for the software).



Just make sure that all software has been uninstalled and sell away.

During uninstalling I did not get any error messages. Nor had I put other

In the meantime I've done some searching on the web and noticed that I'm not

It is not necessary to remove Works, either version (one with Word, called a

product, you can allow it to update the Word version installed and it will
change the suite Word version xx to Office '07s version. You, in fact may
need a program in Works installed if you have created any files from within
the programs installed.

You should uninstall any trial version of Office and reboot the computer

MS Office 2007 Configures at Every Launch

I uninstalled FP 2003 and it still did this.

I used the program you linked to, and now Outlook 2007 opens normally, but
the other Office programs still "configures" whenever I open them.

can I avoid an invalid font if it comes with the orginal installation files?
Also the title comes with the original CD.

I will try to run "sfc /scannow" but the problem is that the sfc.exe is not
available on my Vista Home environment. Don't know why but have to search for
it in other forums.

Do you have any other hint?
I'm really disappointed that the newest Office does not work on the newest
operating system of MS...

MarkC, you must have skipped the part in each .exe to click the compatibility

Todd,
OK, let's review your file structure a bit. You said you have 5 projects
consolidated. First, what version of Project are you using? By 5
consolidated projects do you mean that you have a master file with the 5
subproject inserted or something else? If it is something else, exactly
what do you have? If it is indeed a consolidated master, is it a dynamic
master or static master?

Also, do the tasks that start on 9/25 perhaps have a resource assignmed
that isn't available until that date?

how do you change 'hours' to 'days' in the "work" field?

Posted: 23 Feb 2006 12:59 PM PST

However, note that costs are always calculated on an hourly basis,
regardless of the units used to display work or the way the standard rate is
entered. If I have a resource whose rate is entered as "$100/day" and I
assign him to a task that runs from 9am to 11am on Monday, if the "Work"
field is formatted to show days it will display "0.25 day" and the cost will
show $25.00. It's up to you to figure out something else for him to do that
day as well in order to get your money's worth of the full $100 you have to
pay him to show up at all and if you don't include that other work in the
project, Project won't count the additional $75 in the cost.

MichelleM,
Sure, you can always create a separate "CEO's" version by just listing
the big milestones in a short Project file and not tie it to anything,
but it probably isn't going to be what you want.

I would assume you want the top level report or view to be dynamic, that
is, automatically track with the detail plan. One fairly easy way to do
that is to create a top level filter that only displays the major
milestones. If for some reason that just won't do, then you could also
create a separate top level file as above but externally link the top
level file to the actual tasks or milestones in the detail plan(s). But
either way you look at it, it you want a dynamic top level overview some
type of links will be necessary.

Hi Gitmo,

I am sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. You must open the Project file

delete the **** that appears and re-save the file.

You can't link it to a particular "cell" because Project is not cell based.
Cells are a display artifact only. Data still exists even if the cell is not
there.
You can link to various bits of project data.
Go to file menu, select properties,
go to custom tab
check the "link to content" box and then select the source in the source
box.

Negative Lag (Lead Time) in Schedules

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 10:32 AM PST

What do you mean by "without breaking date confines?" Links, including
links with lag and lead times, calculate the start or end dates of successor
tasks, the "controlled" tasks, based on the start or end of the predecessor
or "controlling" tasks. The link type and lag/lead times establish the
rules for that calculation. If you change the rules, you'll change the
calculation results. I get the feeling you've taken the advice to let
Project calculate the task's dates for you but then when it didn't come up
with the results you thought it should, you put in links, leads, and lags to
make it "fudge" the schedule into some pre-determined idea of what the
schedule is supposed to be. Don't do that.

Lags and leads are valuable tools when they describe the true nature of the
work and the task relationships - for example, if I'm moving offices I have
to pack up the furnishings before before I can load them on the truck. But
I don't have to do all the packing before I start loading - after the first
few boxes are done I canh have the loaders put them on the truck while the
packers continue packing. Lead times model such an overlap perfectly.

If the free calculated schedule doesn't hit the deadlines you're required to
meet, don't just throw in lags, leads, or constraints to fudge it into doing
so. Odds are the schedule that results will prove unworkable when you
actually go and try to do it. Instead you need to look for real,
controllable parameters you can change. A task taking too long to meet it's
deadline? Don't just put lead time into the link from its predecessor to
force it to start earlier - odds are it won't be able to no matter what your
schedule says. Instead put more resources on the task to get in done in a
shorter period of time.

Page numbering is not correct on Individual Merge Letters

MS Word, Office 365, Auto-Correct Stopped Working for New Entries

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 08:44 AM PDT

I use Office 365, and in Word, I've created several auto-correct options for different letter combinations to expand into common words that I use.  For instance, I have qq set to expand to Defendant, etc., etc.  

This has been working fine until this morning.  When I opened a document that I had saved last night, and tried to use the different letter combinations, several of them did not work.  So I thought they had been un-added somehow, and redefined them in the Auto-Correct Options menu.  

Still, these particular entries are not expanding.  Strangely, some of the older existing entries are working, but when I redefine those, they stop working.  

Any ideas what could be causing this?  There are no exceptions that I can see (and it's the same problem even in new documents) and all the appropriate Auto-Correct options are checked.  

I'm about to reinstall and start over but hope someone can give some suggestions!

VBA CODE TO REMOVE FINAL chr(13) character from text in Word tables.

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 08:42 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have tried to devise some VBA code to remove the trailing chr(13) character from text in word tables.

I I have come up with this:

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "^13"
        .Replacement.Text = " "
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchWildcards = True
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

Which basically replaces chr(13) with a <space> character.

My problem is that the script is not selective: it should remove chr(13) only from the portion of text I have selected and only from the text in the word table cells I have selected. (that "with selection" does not seem to work), whereas it removes it from the whole word table column. Also, it should remove only the *last* chr(13) in the selected text (to maintain correct text formatting).

Any suggestion on how this can be accomplished?

Thank you so much for your help!

Need Solution to bring Corporate Templates into Office Gallery

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 08:38 AM PDT

We need a solution to get corporate templates into the Office gallery. They need to be available online and outside our company firewall. Preferably available locally yet sync with any updates to SharePoint storage location. SharePoint seemed a perfect solution.

The safest method seemed to be XML - we were able to bring local/network templates into the gallery but were unsuccessful referencing a SP folder in XML.

We then tried uploading corporate MS Word 2013 templates to SharePoint, using group policy to set the Workgroup template folder and pulled the templates into MS Word templates gallery through SharePoint/OneDrive and it has worked - sort of. 

1. The first problem is that the SharePoint rights required for users to access the templates (Contribute) also allows them to post back to SharePoint and not only edit the template files (!) but other folders are inadvertently appearing, such as Document Themes. This is a deal breaker for us if we can't set permissions to allow them to use the templates but not have write access back up to SP.


2. The second issue is that the Document Properties box pops up every time a template is used from SharePoint. This is annoying, but more importantly as in problem 1, users can then edit the document properties which are posted back to SP.

We tried making the templates available with user rights set to Viewing or Download levels (which were the read levels), but had to move up to Contribute (edit) to get it to work. I tried posting this to the SharePoint forum with no replies.

Help and other options are much appreciated!

Search and Replace at Beginning of Each Line of Comma Delimited File

Removing Section Breaks after mail merge into a defined table

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 07:09 AM PDT

I am doing a mail merge and have set up the merge fields in a table.  I have set the merge template for 1 record followed by the merge field <<next record>>. I perform the merge and then try to delete the section breaks that are created and I am not able to.  If I do the same merge without the tables I can successfully remove the section breaks.  is the inability to remove the section breaks because I am using tables or is there a different way to remove them?  The method I use is "find and replace" so I identify the section break special character and replace it with a blank.

Preserve fidelity when sharing this doc not applicable to dotx templates?

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 04:35 AM PDT

I am creating a simple template with the footer saved in a custom font. If I save the file (embedding the font) as a docx it is preserved. If I save it as a dotx, every new document based on that does NOT carry the font. Is it by design?

Even selecting "all new documents" instead of this document does not preserve the font.

Links to other documents fail on re-open

I'm attempting to utilize the linking functionality where text from an external Word document is inserted as a link into a document. This feature works fine until I close both documents, then try to re-open the document. The link fails and looks like the following:

Error! Not a valid link.

The link can be created a couple ways, but the easiest is to open both documents, select the text to insert/link to, then Right-click & drag to the document that is referencing the original. You get a link that looks something like

Idea for cross references

Posted: 10 Mar 2015 02:06 AM PDT

I had idea that would greatly simplify using cross References in a Word document.

After adding a caption or heading or similar, it would be good if you could highlight it, right click and have an option "copy cross Reference" then move the cursor to the location you want to create the cross Reference and paste.

For the pasting operation you could include a "paste special" to Select what type of cross-Reference you want, where the "label and number only" should be the default.

The whole cross Reference module in Word should be updated anyway. It is very clumsy as it is now.

Adding a new heading in the middle of a document with outline heading numbering

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 05:50 PM PDT

Hello

I am using Word 2013 on Windows 7 to write documents with numbered headings.

I used Shauna Kelly's lovely instructions at http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html. I followed her instructions exactly, and my documents have nice heading numbering that mostly work well.

My problem happens when I need to insert a new heading into an existing document. I type a new heading in, then I apply the correct style and select my List style from the Multilevel List list, just as Shauna said to do. Sometimes this goes smoothly. and sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't, the new heading does not recognise that it has been inserted into the middle of an existing numbering scheme. It has the right style (e.g. Heading 3), and the right numbering scheme (I called mine Headings, as Shauna suggested). I right-click on the number in the new heading and select Continue Numbering. The number does not change, and stays stuck at 1.1..1.

As a last resort, I have tried the Set Numbering Value option, but I can only update the last digit.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Melanie
