Get rid of styles

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 03:04 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

Thanks everyone for all the great information but I tried several macros offered here in WORD 2010 and not one of them did anything at all.  I think it was 4 macros that I tried in total.

I also copied and used the macro Sub NukeStyleNotInDocument() but I got an error message:

"Compile error:  Syntax error.  OK Help"

Also in Word 2010 I can only see the Char or Corrupt Styles in the Find What, Find Styles window and nowhere else can I see them and I mean nowhere else?  In Word 2003 Char styles or Corrupt Styles used to appear in a different place and so it is like the corrupt styles are still there but now hidden under the Find What, Find Styles window but I do not know why it is like this either?

I used to have this problem all fixed with two great macros in Word 2003 but they no longer work in Word 2010 and so I feel that this problem has not yet been resolved for me in Word 2010.

Has anyone else tried the macros in a corrupt styles Word 2010 document?  If so, which macro or steps worked for you in Word 2010?

Can't Keep Endnotes from Starting on Next Page

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 03:02 PM PDT

I have a 321 page document with 22 chapters.  Each chapter is set up to be its own section.  The chapters end with an Odd Page Section Break.  The Endnotes are set to "End of Section."  For many but not all of the chapters/sections, the Endnotes start on the next page, even though there is more than enough space to have the endnotes begin immediately after the text (as opposed to on the next page).

This is adding two, mostly blank pages to the end of the chapters this is happening in.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Unwanted page break in mail merge

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 02:32 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm, especially the part titled "If you really want to delete the temporary section break ...".

First of all sorry for my English. In my word document I insert the list of items from Mail Merge code. For example i have 35 items which can be listed on a single page through Mail Merge code. When I reach 35th item, automatically page break applies and add a blank page. Although it should go to next page when the items list exceeded the page limit. How can I remove the hidden Break which I didnt insert and coming when the Mail Merge code insert the data. Any help will be appreciated.

Word 2013 Header Questions

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 02:06 PM PDT

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post.  I'm trying to figure out how to manipulate some data.  Hopefully these screenshots will highlight what I want to do.

In the screenshot above you will see what things look like:

1:  This is the header.  I just applied a shading color so you could see it stand out.

2:  This is the actual header.

3:  A textbox over the header.

I'm trying to do exactly what you see in the screenshot.  I have no idea how the background is colored and filled like that in #2.  When I create the header, I can use a shade to color it and stretch it to where I want it.  However, I can't drag the textbox over the header.  Word won't let me.  It will only let me place the textbox below the header.

Problems with page numbering

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 01:51 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

I totally agree. It's ridiculous how terribly difficult Word is to use. I don't want to just rant about it; I've been using Word for as long as I can remember, but it's so much more trouble than it's worth. I sincerely wish that there was another program I could use that could do what I want it to and also be compatible in my line of work.

So I have a document that is upward from 300 pages. I'm having trouble with the page numbers. I've been scrolling through page after page online. Asked tech support. Even called Microsoft for assistance--they did the remote access and all of that... the guy I spoke to spewed a bunch of tech jargon and basically told me he couldn't fix the page numbers unless I paid whatever sum he asked for.

I've followed everyone's advice. I've done the paragraph thing to check for page breaks. There were none. No page breaks were inserted in the document. Spaces and paragraphs and tabs... I even ran the macros to check... None. I did the Alt, Shift, P... I did the Alt F9... There are no new sections, but I tried them anyway. When I did this I was really excited because I thought it was working. I got down to about an 8th of the document before the pages started messing up again. It was just one page off so I thought it'd be simple to correct. I followed the instructions just like I had before and instead of working, it sent me back to the top of the document and all of the numbers were off again! Imagine my frustration! I'm sure you can't. I actually tried this about seven times, trying different variations. Trying to do the same thing slightly different each time. Nothing.

I have a deadline. I really have to finish this document. I really can't fathom why it wouldn't work. Honestly. It is one document. No page breaks, no sections. Page one to page 300whatever and yet the page numbers do not work.

I really sincerely hope someone here can help me because I am going grey here. No one seems to understand why it is not working.

E-Mail Form in Word 2013

I have a company I work with that will send me quotes from time to time. EVERY time I receive their "Word" quote, it appears to be in e-mail editing mode. The "To", "cc", & subject lines are at the top just below the ribbon. It gets VERY irritating because it eats up so much window space. I cannot find how to get rid of this.

It will not let me right click, drag, or anything.

Word tables - Overlapping footer and strange compression

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 09:08 AM PDT

Hi there - I hope you will be able to help me

I use Office 2010 - I have a word table that is misbehaving.

It is doing two strange things:

at the bottom of the page, it overlaps the footer

when editing and I add extra lines, instead of funding webpage break it is automatically, it compresses the table lines over each other. See below.

Extract all acronyms within parentheses, and paste into new document.

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 08:21 AM PDT

Hello! I'm fairly new to macros, and I've spent the better part of this morning trying to find a solution to my problem. I work with documents that range between 20 to 500+ pages in Word 2010. I've been trying to make a macro that will find all 2 or more alphanumeric text between parentheses, and then paste them into a new document. I've tried recording my steps, while using the Advanced Find feature, but when I run the macro, a window pops up and tells me "This method or property is not available because no text is selected." For some reason, manually doing the steps while recording allowed for the results that I needed, just not as a macro.

I'd like to add that I work on a very limited system, or at least limited capability even though I'm using Word 2010 on Windows 7. We are restricted from doing/viewing many things while here at work, so I had to type in my code manually below; I couldn't paste it in or use (or even see) any options to insert my code separately.

 

Sub acro4()

' acro4 Macro

     Selection.Find.ClearFormatting

     WithSelection.Find

          .Text = "\([A-Z]{2,}\)"

          .Replacement.Text = ""

          .Forward = True

          .Format = False

          .MatchCase = False

          .MatchWholeWorld = False

          .MatchAllWordForms = False

          .MatchWildcards = True

Read Only File (I created them)

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 08:02 AM PDT

I have followed the discussions, but they address files that have been on OneDrive. Mine are simply random Word files. Arbitrarily, Word decides that a file has to be protected (I changed none of the settings) and I cannot edit and save the file.

Yes, I know I can give it a different name, but it is very annoying to be locked out of a file that you created on this computer...and now you cannot edit it.

Track changes, but not text highlights. Possible?

Posted: 20 Mar 2015 07:19 AM PDT

Hi,

I wouldn't like to track the changes in text highlights. 

Does Word provide any setting I can remove text highlights in order it won't be tracked?

Sounds like you have your task list set up closer to a bill of materials
doent. You might try regrouping it into an arrangment closer to a true
work breakdown structure. The task structure is a doent describing
deliverables and the work activities that create them - dig the hole, paint
the wall, write the program, etc - not one about tangible items and their
various components. Sometimes a re-think of the structure can help resolve
"spagetti links."

Microsoft Word - Captions for Tables/Figures not auto-numbering appropriately

Microsoft Word - Captions for Tables/Figures not auto-numbering appropriately


Captions for Tables/Figures not auto-numbering appropriately

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 03:18 PM PDT

In Word 2007, I 1am trying to create a list of figures and a list of tables.

In order to do that, I must put captions on my tables on figures.

In order to do that, I believe that I have to create multilevel numbering.

  1. I do not want the numbers to appear in my text next any levels of headings.
  2. When I create multilevel numbering, chapters number themselves inconsistently and inaccurately. (I don't even want to use multilevels to create chapter numbers or numbers next to levels of headings. I just want to use those numbers to add captions to figures and tables. I tried to hide the auto-generated heading text and number, but the hidden text now creates extra indents, and it numbers each chapter inconsistently and inaccurately.)
  3. When I create captions, the captions in chapter two, for example, get labeled Figure 0.<number> because, somehow, that part of the document doe not realize that it should be, say Figure 2.<number>.  Manually creating a label does not allow my table of figures to generate numbers correctly.

Currently, my chapter title is in a self-created style called Chapter Title. All my chapter names are Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. with no other wording.

I have a separate Heading 1 style in each chapter.

Any thoughts on why numbering could be going haywire?

Captioning and Cross referencing Wrong order, please help

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 02:57 PM PDT

Hi,

I am finding Insert Caption a nightmare

After captioning three images and with the correct captioning order (Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3)

When I tried adding another image and captioning in between Figure 2 and Figure 3, I expected it to be Figure 3 but instead it came out as Figure 2!!!

I am sure that the thing is updated as I've learnt that Print Preview updates all the captions numbers

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30193782/Capture.PNG

The cross referencing pane under the Reference Tab looks out of order

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30193782/Wrong%20order.PNG

How on earth do you fix this? What have I done wrong? I did not and never turn on Track Changes. All image are set Wrap Text > Top and Bottom (by right clicking). One thing I noticed is that every "Figure XXX" in the document have their own little text box that I can drag.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30193782/Box_caption.PNG

Filename on Last Page not Updating

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 02:08 PM PDT

I'm in the process of updating our templates from Word 2003 to 2013 and have found an item that is no longer working properly.  I'm using { IF { NUMPAGES } = { PAGE } { FILENAME \p } \* MERGEFORMAT }  in the footer and it's not updating on print preview if there is more than one page.

For simplicity's sake, let's say I'm just working with a simple document.  I type 1 [ENTER] 2 and put the above field code in the footer with a field result of Document1 (as expected).  I save the file as delme.docx and close it.  When I open the file, it still says Document1 (as expected) and when I click File\Print to preview, I now see somepath\delme.docx (as expected).

Now if I put a page break between the text entries 1 and 2, then save and close the file, then rename it to delme2.docx, then open the file, it says somepath\delme.docx (as expected) on the second page but does not update to somepath\delme2.docx on print preview.  Is this a bug?

By the way, I do have the display option Update fields before printing checked.

Customizing Word 2003

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 02:00 PM PDT

I am wondering whether you can help me with some customizations to Microsoft Word 2003.

I work on the Hansard for the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in Canada. Hansard is the written version of what is said during sessions of the Legislative Assembly.  

 

There are two things I would like to accomplish:

 

  1. Commonly used shortcuts automatically installed in Microsoft Word
    • There are a number of shortcuts we use in my office. For example, typing "tyms" will turn into, "Thank you, Mr. Speaker." Up to now, when a new user account is created, we must manually go into Microsoft Word and create the shortcuts one at a time. Is there a way that we could update all user accounts at once to have the shortcuts?

 

  1. Commonly used Inuktitut words automatically installed in Microsoft Word
    • The dialogue we transcribe often contains Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit. These words are unknown to the Microsoft Word dictionary. These words include place names and names of the MLAs. Is there a way to add these words to the Microsoft Word dictionary across all user accounts? 

Thank you for your help!

Digitally sign macros in Excel & Word

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 01:54 PM PDT

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to digitally sign macros in Word 2013 running under Windows 8.1? My self-signed certificate expired. I created a new one and it shows up in all the proper places, but I cannot attach it to any of my macros.

From the Developer tab > Code > Visual Basic  > Tools > Digital Signature dialog I remove the old certificate, Choose the new certificate, click OK, then click OK to exit the dialog. Alas, it does not take! When I open the dialog again the old certificate has not been replaced by the new certificate. Worked fine in all earlier versions, but not anymore.

"Expand All" Paragraphs for Printout by Default

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 12:08 PM PDT

The "expand" and "collapse" feature in Office Word 2013 print layout is very helpful and makes document navigation, readability, and editing much simpler.

However, when I print I want to be sure all paragraphs are expanded before printing. Otherwise, a collapsed sub-paragraph buried deep within a document will not print. I tested this today by printing out a collapsed paragraph--the collapsed sub-paragraphs were not printed.

I have looked but haven't found a setting in "Options" that automatically expands all paragraphs before printing.

Is there a setting that expands all paragraphs before printing and I missed it?

Can I submit a request to add this setting to "Options"?

Thanks!

Word 2007 Not Automatically Creating Em-Dashes

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 11:54 AM PDT

I have the box checked for automatically create em-dashes. It won't create them.  How do I fix this. I may have at some point asked it to Stop Automatically Creating them, but I can find no way to reset it. Thank you.  I have tried checking and unchecking the box. Doesn't make a difference.

Word Templates appear in Russian

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 09:32 AM PDT

When I open Microsoft Word the start page shows all of the usual Microsoft templates, but they are in Russian instead of English.  All of my saved files are in English and Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint are working properly as well.  How can I change them back to English?

Conditional statements to include or drop entire sections?

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 08:52 AM PDT

I am working on a rather lengthy template that will be used by a variety of backgrounds. As such, the intent is for the user to pick and choose which sections will apply (be left in the document). How do I tell Word that based on a yes or no (option button) to include or hide an entire section? Does the section need to be inside a single cell table?

Thank You

Heading text cross-references

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 08:10 AM PDT

Word 2013 does not manage cross-references to headings, or more specifically to heading text very well. If you put the insert point at the start of a heading that has been cross-referenced (using the Heading text option) and press Enter then all of the text that you subsequently enter into the newly created paragraph(s) will be appear in the cross-reference text. The simple work around is don't do this. In other words, always put the insertion point at the end of a heading before pressing Enter. But in my view placing the insertion point at the start of an existing heading and pressing Enter is a fast and logical way to insert a new heading at the same level, in both the Print Layout and Outline views. It is also by far the easiest and most obvious way to insert a new paragraph between a table and a heading. And in any case, the New Heading Before feature in the Navigation pane is impacted by this issue.

So I have two questions. Is my understanding of this issue correct? And does anyone know if this issue will be addressed in Word 2016?

Angle Brackets' Won't Grow

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 03:40 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows 7.  In equation editor, I can't get angle brackets to grow with the equation.  I have tried several methods:

1. I inserted an equation ("\langle x/a \rangle {space}" for example).  Brackets don't grow to enclose the stacked equation.

2. I chose the angle brackets from the drop down menu and put x/a in there

3.  I chose one sided angle bracket equation from the drop down menu and inserted x/a.  Angle bracket DOES grow in this situation...too bad it's not the equation I want.

I have no problem with any other type of bracket.  [], (), {}...all grow just fine.

Any thoughts?

Word Merge Error

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 03:08 AM PDT

Hi Guys,

I have a Word Merge Doc with the following field: «Notes» which contains various line of data for example:

Line 1 sdsdsdsd

Line 2 wewelklklkewkwle

Line 3 ddfkdlfkokodfldfld

But when this populates onto the Word doc it is separated by a square box and all the text is in one line as opposed to 3 lines.

Can anyone help me on this so that these symbols don't appear and the format is 3 lines as opposed to 1, example below:

Thanks

List number blurry, multilevel list

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 01:42 AM PDT

Hi,

Below is an example of the number of my second level in my multilevel list. It is blurry! The screenshot from a pdf i created by printing to Adobe PDF, but I can tell also within word that these numbers are blurry.  The numbers on my first, and third level in the list are perfectly clear and vectorized. Only the second level numbers, and ALL second level numbers, are blurry. I attach also the settings of the font in my second level list. 

I tried creating a new document, and then i didn't have the problem. However, my document is massive and I would prefer not copying it all into a new file. I also have a hunch that the problem will reappear, they usually do. 

I have tried to re-define the number formatting for the second level in the multilevel list, it didn't work.

Can anyone help me? 

word 2013 cannot open some word documents.

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 12:33 AM PDT

I am using word 2013 and have been creating files without any problems however recently tried to open some files created a year ago and word stops working and closes.  The file opens very briefly and then the application closes.  Have tried doing a save as from the recovery pane but again word stops working just before it completes the action.  Also tried opening word in safe mode and also tried unchecking options in trust centre but no change. 

Anyone got any ideas please.

As a quick update if I email the file to myself I can view it in the preview pane and open it from outlook but if I then enable editing it causes word to crash.

Also tried emailing to another machine running 2013 and windows 8.1 and get the same result ok until you enable editing.

Can you open files with editing disabled automatically?? at least it would let me see the content.

print multiple pages on one sheet

Posted: 19 Mar 2015 12:04 AM PDT

I have created a document with pages sized 4.25" x 5.5".  I would like to print four of each page on regular 8.5" x 11" paper and then cut into four separate pages, thus creating four booklets at one printing.  Because I have set mirror margins, it's not working to copy and paste each page into labels (note cards).  I'm also trying to preserve the page numbers.  I tried to print pages 1,1,1,1 as described in another question, but then I have to change the page size and all of the formatting is messed up.  Any help will be appreciated.

Find, Replace, Save As, Macro

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 11:12 PM PDT

I have to create multiple equipment agreements that are nearly identical. It is all around inefficient. I was wondering if it is possible to create a batch macro to help me with this. Basically I want to take my template, and run the macro that would search a document (DRG-SCAL-01) for the phrase ie: DRG-SCAL-01 replaces it with DRG-SCAL-02, saves the changes to a new filename (DRG-SCAL-02), and then changes the DRG-SCAL-02 to DRG-SCAL-03 and saves that as DRG-SCAL-03 and so forth and so on until it reaches a predetermined number. Is this possible? Thank you.

Cannot print envelopes in envelope tray with Word 2013 on Dell computer with Windows 8.1

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 08:44 PM PDT

I have two Epson Workforce 4530WP printers and an HP LaserJet P3010. Each has a tray (Tray 1) for sheets (I use letter size in all) and each has another tray or holder for envelopes (which I will call Tray 2). With my computers running Windows 7 and earlier versions of MS Office printing individual envelopes or to them batches of envelopes using Mail Merge works great. Documents are automatically printed on the sheets and envelopes are printed on envelopes.  Two weeks ago I purchased a new Dell computer with Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 (trial version) and have no problem printing documents on sheets but when I try to print envelopes with the Epsons the printing occurs on the sheets in Tray 1 even though envelopes are correctly inserted in Tray 2. I can print a photo from other programs to photo paper or an envelope in Tray 2.

If I insert envelopes in Tray 2 on the HP LaserJet P3010 I can print envelopes to them but if envelopes are kept in that tray documents are automatically printed to envelopes instead of the sheets in Tray 1.

I have tried selecting "Automatically select" the source and "Default Tray (Automatically Select)" under Envelope Printing Options in MS Word with the same results described above and find no way to manually select Tray 2 as the source when printing envelopes. I have spent more than four hours trying to solve the problem and done quite a bit of on-line searching without success. The correct placement of envelopes is shown in the Envelope Print Options.

I planned to purchase an activation key for Office 2013 but now think it would be foolish to do so unless a quick solution is found to the problem with printing envelopes.

A character with two personalities

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 04:39 PM PDT

I very often use Insert->Obect->Text from File to import large (megabytes) slabs of unicode text into Microsoft Word.  Usually this text comes from OCR (Omnipage 19 Ultimate).  By default this text comes in as style "Normal", unless I deliberately make it otherwise.

For a long time (like ... years) I have noticed that occasionally, and for no obvious reason, the end of a paragraph coming from unicode does not behave quite the way I expect.  I notice that the following paragraph does not obey the "space before" rule I have set for "Normal".  It starts at the beginning of the next line but there is no "space before". The paragraph symbol shown is the same as for a correct paragraph, but it obviously isn't the same in reality, because if I delete it and then press the enter key to insert a new paragraph manually, it then behaves correctly. Note that I know the difference between ^p and ^l, and this is definitely not a ^l.  It is actually behaving as a ^l in some ways, while appearing to the eye as a ^p.


Today I got the same effect when I inserted a slab of HTML.  By this I mean that there was a </p> at the end of the previous paragraph, and a <p> at the beginning of the next, but occasionally - about 10% of the time - the erroneous paragraph symbol still appeared.  In this case the import appears as "Normal (Web)" but otherwise everything is the same.

What is this character that masquerades as "end-of-paragraph" but actually isn't?  Since I see this with both plain text and HTML, I am thinking it is NOT the OCR output generating a "pseudo-end-of-paragraph" symbol which Microsoft Word somehow misinterprets.  Or have I completely missed something?

I can supply an example if needed.

[Edit]

I forgot to add one other characteristic behavior: If I click past the end of a paragraph with the errant end-of-para, the cursor appears after the symbol. If I click after the end of a paragraph with a correct end-of-para, the cursor appears before the symbol.

Some fonts printing do not succeed

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 03:59 PM PDT

Some fonts printing do not succeed.
E.g. Arial, Courier and Times new roman do not do it.  

There is just not printed, it remains completely quiet.

Calibri, Century gothic, Trebuchet ms  and Verdana do it, however.

Problem at Word, Excel, pdf.
E-mail prints everything......

On the HP Forum they say it is a MS Office problem, not a printer (HP) problem.
