| Word fillable form functionality Posted: 18 Mar 2015 10:45 AM PDT Is there any way to make a Word document with fillable forms functional in the tablet/iPad version of Word? I have Office 365 Word on my iPad and can't seem to get the fillable form fields to work for a Word document I created in Word 2010. I receive the following error message when I try to modify the form field in the iPad Word version: "This document has certain edit capabilities that have been locked." Is there a way to unlock the form fields to make them functional? Thank you. |
| Mail Merge section 1 footer links to previous Posted: 18 Mar 2015 08:47 AM PDT I have created a DDE mail merge with multiple sections with different headers and footers. Once merged, the footer in the section that begins the new record links to the to the previous section footer. How do I get this to stop linking to the footer in the previous section? Also, I would like each new record to begin on an odd numbered page so that I can double side my printing. Does anyone know if I can do this? |
| Problems editing documents (Word 2010) Posted: 18 Mar 2015 07:55 AM PDT My entre office uses a cover sheet template saved as both a .docx and a .docm. Either way, whenever we print our cover sheet, we're not able to edit it any further unless we close it completely and reopen it. Also, if we click outside of the text area before we're done, the document "freezes" and we have to close and reopen the blank template and start over. Any suggestions as to how we can continuously edit the document after printing without reopening it? We all use Office 2010 on machines running Windows 7. |

| Microsoft 365 Can't Connect to Account Posted: 18 Mar 2015 06:34 AM PDT Okay, I have had Microsoft Office 365 downloaded to my computer for almost two years now. Recently, if I open Word and start to work after a minute it tries to "connect to my account" but it not able to. Eventually it says that Microsoft Word is not responding and I have to go into task manager just to close the program. Why is it doing this and what can I do to fix it? |
| Review pane... I want to open automatically when opening document Posted: 18 Mar 2015 05:53 AM PDT Hi all, This may seem silly. I'm making changes to certain word docs and adding comments as well as track changes. Is there a way for others to open the word document and have the review pane open automatically? I'm trying to save time from the numerous "non word savvy" folks (which may seem like me with this question) from sending me emails on how/where to find the changes/comments. Thanks MM |
| Office 2010 SP Posted: 18 Mar 2015 05:28 AM PDT I have downloaded a copy of Microsoft office 2010 Professional Plus from software store. That installed fine. However, I am trying to download the SP for 2010 but this error comes up..."expected version of product was not found on system." What???? Can someone explain to me what this means and is there a fix? I need the 32 bit version. |
| Very Slow Office 2013 Pro Plus Mail Merge. Posted: 18 Mar 2015 04:41 AM PDT Hi, I am working in an organisation with about 14000 supporters. We use mail merge as well using Word to send out emails to the supporters. Ever since we went to MS Office Word 2013 Pro Plus and doing a mail merge (~4000 recipients in total, but sending a customised message to each via Word --> Mailings -->Mail Merge --> Email Message) and after finishing the merge it is taking an extremely long time to print the letters - approximately 1 minute per letter - so the entire process takes over an hour to send them all. Each letter is just under 40KB. We feel this may be related to the MS Office 2013 Pro Plus as it never happened when we was using MS Office 2010. I would appreciate any insight or configuration changes we can make. Thank you. Ahmed |

| Word Comments bugs - can't see cursor in Review pane and when writing comment in Review pane the main text goes back to the top Posted: 18 Mar 2015 03:16 AM PDT I'm using Microsoft Word 2010. To insert a comment a use the Review tab - New Comment. This opens a Review pane at the bottom of the screen (I'm in draft view), which I type into but as I do so the main document text (which is visible in the top half of the screen) jumps to the top of the document. Is there any way to get it to stay where I was in the document, where I'm inserting the comment? Also, if you try to edit comments in the Review pane, it not only jumps to the top again, but you can't see a cursor in the Review pane text. You just have to start typing and hope that you're in the right place. This happens on every document I've tried it with |

| Word slows for a time upon opening document Posted: 17 Mar 2015 11:30 PM PDT I have query on this in another Forum and have been advised to open a similar thread in the Office Forum. The thread is: Word slows for a time upon opening document There you will find a description of my problem and what I've been advised so far. Basically Word becomes unusable at times because it takes from 1-5 seconds for each key stroke to register. It happens when I open a document from OneDrive. Sometimes it is ok if I close the document and reopen it, but mostly not. I've have Office 365 Student. Looking forward to receiving a response and hopefully an answer. Stephen |

| Table occupying parts of two pages Posted: 17 Mar 2015 09:16 PM PDT I have a table (actually lots of them) that extends from near the bottom of one page onto part of the next page. It would be nice to remove the border that appears at the bottom of the first part and the top of the second part, so the reader, when seeing the first part, knows that there is more to the table. I can do this, so far as I know, only by splitting the table into two parts and removing the bottom border from the first part and the top border from the second part. This can get quite inconvenient and has to be redone of the table moves even slightly. Is there a better way? |
| Sudden problem with editing document in Word 2003 SP3 Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:31 PM PDT Recently in composing and editing my Word 2003 documents, I am finding the editing has gone haywire. When, for example, I change the font of a piece of text, the WHOLE document reflects that change. If I hit Re-do, then the edit turns out correctly, i.e., just the target text relfects the desired changed font. The Re-do works most of the time that way, but not always, depending on the kind of edit I do. What's happened and how do I repair this? Thanks, Walt |
| Comparing values using a word macro Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:23 PM PDT As far as I can tell this should be easy, but I just can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is to create a macro that will look at a number value, and if it is within a certain range it will replace the line with a new piece of text i.e. find "height=xx" if xx is less than or equal to 50 then replace "height=xx" with "style=height:2%" else if xx is greater than 50 and less than 100 then replace "height=xx" with "style=height:15%" And so on. I've looked at a lot of macros and tried adapting them, but never quite hit on the one that does what I'm after. |
| If Then Else syntax for blank date field (Word 2013) Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:21 PM PDT I have a date field I am merging from a 3rd party program. That date field is either blank or has a date in it. But....it's never really "empty" in that it has slashes already in the field. So it it's empty, it looks like / / and therefore, when I use the comparison IS BLANK, it doesn't work. I have tried "if date is greater than or equal to 1" and that doesn't work either. So I want to end up with: DATE: 01/01/01 or nothing if the date field is empty. Can anyone tell me the correct syntax to use? Thanks so much. |
| How to print Special Characters? Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:10 PM PDT I'm looking for some help in printing some help pamphlets for the people I work with. What I need is to print the following sentence and have the special characters actually print in place in the line. Change (Line Break [Shift = Enter}) to (Paragraph End Mark {Enter)) I need it to print the actual Special Characters where the description is in the line. Don't need the parts in { } just the characters. I'll be printing a list of the characters and how to create them in a different place in the pamphlet. I've got all the computers set up to show the special characters in a document so my co-workers will be able to see what I mean. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. |
| Fixing Word 2013 Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:00 PM PDT I suspect my Word 2013 program has become corrupt because it does some very strange things. I would like to replace it by recovering it from an earlier, non-corrupt image backup that I have. Exactly what file(s) do I need to recover? |
| WORD does not print blue or cyan ... sometimes- color loss shifts Posted: 17 Mar 2015 03:05 PM PDT This is new problem. Word does not print colors as seen on the screen. Blue is missing. Printer is okay (and checked with other programs and PC. Changed cartridges several times before I realized the problem was in Word. Drivers up to date.) Rebooted and reinstalled HP Digital Imaging Monitor and the colors came back. But left the PC for an hour and then it would print blue but not print cyan. |
