| Document Opens at Bottom of Page Posted: 27 Mar 2015 02:01 PM PDT When I set a table cell to Around, and position it at Bottom >Page, the doc then opens to the bottom of the page instead of the top as all other docs do. In trying to troubleshoot this problem, it seems to happen when I position the table 2/3 or more of the way down the page. I am using a single table cell that's the width of the page. I have content controls and a graphic in the table cell, but the problem has occurred with an empty cell as well. |
| Freezing on Special Characters Insert in Word 2013 Posted: 27 Mar 2015 01:21 PM PDT Hello, Word 2013 on my Windows 7 x64 freezes constantly when I try to insert a special character from chart of symbols. As far as I've noticed, it came after installing French spell checking utility, but I cannot say for sure. I haven't installed any third-party plug-in. Could anybody help me? I would much appreciate it, thanks. |
| Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Academic 180 day Trial Posted: 27 Mar 2015 12:48 PM PDT I am in College. I am taking a Microcomputer Applications class. This version of Microsoft came with my book. I began using it in January and it's only March. It no longer works because Microsoft says time has expired and it hasn't. Not only that they say they don't support this version anymore so there is nothing they can do about it? Is this true? Can they really not do anything about one of their own products that does not work anymore? What can I do? I need this for class. Does Microsoft not stand behind their products? I have talked to so many people on the phone and on the internet and there was only one person that really tried to help. This is so sad. You would think they would want to help when it's THEIR product that is not working properly. Is there anything that can be done? |
| Cannot get fillable form to allow user to format text and paragraph style Posted: 27 Mar 2015 12:36 PM PDT I have inserted a "Rich Text Content Control" into the document where I want the user to be able to fill out text, and activated "Restrict Editing" under the Developer Tab, so that no other areas of the document can be edited. However, within the fillable area, I want the user to be able to format the text and paragraph styles as they please. Why is this not working and how can I get this to work? |
| Macro in MS Word Not Printing Documents in the Order I Selected Posted: 27 Mar 2015 11:45 AM PDT In MS Word I print twelve .RTF files of various page lengths to produce a consolidated report. The 12 .RTF files are all in the same directory and are numbered one through twelve. Using my mouse I can open the directory, open file one, print the report, close the report, open file two, print the report... When record those mouse clicks into an MS Word macro, the prints do not come out in the order in which I opened and printed them. I believe that by the time that report number three (11 pages long) loads into the printer, report number twelve (which is one page long) has already loaded into the print buffer first and printed. Anyway, I'm trying to add a 10 second pause in the macro after each time I click the 'Print' button. I added the remarks: ' PAUSE FOR 15 SECONDS STARTS HERE and ' PAUSE FOR 15 SECONDS ENDS HERE In anticipation of where I would insert the pause after each report I opened. Following is a portion of my code for the twelve reports I'm trying to print using a macro. I greatly appreciate any assistance you provide. Sub PRINT_REPORTS() ' PRINT_REPORTS Macro

| Hidden error in headers, footers Posted: 27 Mar 2015 10:59 AM PDT Working on a large document that's an update to a previous version. Suddenly, stuff like this will randomly appear in the header and/or footer: ¸§Ÿ e¨—]ˆèŽ€™¬Vž¼æ55å¢âfðìÙfÆ/'üS¨Ÿ@Âí¢nY7mäÜŽ¬,À ‑Œ÷‰AÛ‹‡«ÞvÊ·ŒøÇ#»»,o‡`"ý¡Åéo^

| Hyperlink changing in word doc Posted: 27 Mar 2015 10:56 AM PDT Hello All! I have a word document where we have entered a hyperlink in the text. When you right click on the link and choose edit hyper link, the text of the hyperlink is exactly what is on the document. When you put your cursor over the link, the link is missing characters, namely a %20. Does the hyperlink not like the %20? What is happening? Thanks for the assistance! Jodi

| Track revisions problem Posted: 27 Mar 2015 10:24 AM PDT I am working on a document in which I previously made revisions using Track Changes. I had no problems. I emailed it to a colleague, who further revised it and then returned it to me. When I now make revisions, I have two problems: nothing shows in the bubbles, and deletions do not strikeout. Neither problem happens if I start an entirely new document from scratch, but if I move the current document to a new one, I lose the color on the existing revisions, and the problems remain. I hae tried all the options under Track Changes, and am confident I have the correct boxes checked. Any idea why these problems are occurring, and how to fix them? Peter |
| Lost unsaved Word file during automatic restart Posted: 27 Mar 2015 10:16 AM PDT Stupid me--I forgot to save an important document I was working on. My computer did an automatic restart to install a security update. I found the doc in recovery but then it disappeared before I could save it. Can't find it anywhere. I checked the recycle bin and found some documents in there. I chose to have them restored but I cannot find any of them in the folder they were supposedly sent to. There is still one lone document in recovery so there was not a general delete. Is there some way to retrieve a document when it leaves the recovery folder? Help! |
| I can't get rid of highlighting in my document. Posted: 27 Mar 2015 09:16 AM PDT I was typing an outline in Word and highlighted some words. Using "bullets and numbering" I added some numbered entries below the highlighted words and the numbers themselves showed up highlighted. Even though I removed the highlighting for the original words, I cannot seem to get rid of the highlighting on the numbers. Does anyone know how to remove the highlighting from numbers created using "bullets and numbering"? |
| Drop-down stopped working on a Word 2013 Email Mail Merge Posted: 27 Mar 2015 07:32 AM PDT I set up a Word 2013 template to mail merge from an Excel file and deliver the merge by email. The final document included several drop-down boxes with Yes/No options. I tested the document several times in house and the recipients were able to hit reply then choose from the drop-down before sending their response. However, the next time I opened the document, admittedly after making some minor changes like font size, the drop-downs no longer work. I can still see the grey text "Choose an item", but nothing happens when you click on it. The emails are being delivered the same way i.e. I've tried setting up a new document from scratch but it seems I must have changed some setting or done something different along the way. I've tried an online repair of Word and also ran the update but no change. Any ideas please? Thanks Michael Dixon |
| How do I change the default tab to home on word rather than file Posted: 27 Mar 2015 06:14 AM PDT Hi, I am currently working on word and the defualt tab at the top has suddenly changed to file rather than the home button automatically. How do I change this back? Thank you Natalie |
| reuse date and name in Word doc Posted: 27 Mar 2015 05:30 AM PDT Hi, please excuse me if this has been asked before, but much searching has not found the answer. I am using Word 2007. I have a form where the date and name are repeated later in the form. I would like once the name and date have been entered the first time that they will apprer later on in the form without the user having to enter them again. Is this possible? Thanks in advance Kenny |
| Word Organogram Posted: 27 Mar 2015 01:23 AM PDT Word 2010, Windows 7 I need to create a fairly intricate organogram and have opted not to use the Word "SmartArt|Hierarchy" option as it does not give me what I have in mind. Instead, I use the standard "Insert|Shapes" option, using primarily rounded rectangles (approx x60) and connector lines. For this, I have created a large drawing canvas (almost the entire A3 landscape page) to contain all the graphic elements. For the sake of standardization, I have created a standard size and format rectangle (with text) so that I can copy this as necessary to represent a department/section of the organization. My problem is the following: Once I have copied the rectangle and then edit the text, the text in the previous rectangle also changes to the new text. If however I save, close the the document, then reopen, I am able to change the text without changing the previous text, with the result, for every new text box, I have to close the document and reopen. Is this a software or hardware problem? And, is there anything I can do to remedy this other than having to draw and format a new rectangle each time? |
| Macro to Find and Replace Table Numbers Posted: 27 Mar 2015 12:13 AM PDT I work on a lot of reports with numbered tables and figures. e.g.
Table 3: xxxxxxx
Figure 2: xxxxxxx
I often have to add/delete a table/figure, meaning the numbers are no longer consecutive. I am trying to write a macro to find all instances of "Table *:" and replace this with "Table _n_:", where _n_ is the nth occurrence of the word "Table *:" in the document, so that I no longer have to re-number all of the tables manually.
I'm having trouble getting the number _n_ and inserting this in the 'Replace' statement though. I would be really grateful for any help on this! Thanks |
| Can't access Word documents. Posted: 26 Mar 2015 11:22 PM PDT I have a Toshiba Satellite C655D lasptop, about 4 years old. Windows Home Premium 6.1 7601. Service Pack 1. No longer have owners manuals. Word and Word documents always opened automatically. I believe the program was something other than Office, because recently a new icon mysteriously appeared beside my documents, which indicates Office, and they will not open. I can open Word and type something, but once it is closed, it will not open again. Instead, a window opens up asking whether I want to activate, install or buy Office. I have no product key, and don't feel I should have to buy something when I already had a program that came with this computer. When I click on "open with" nothing shows but Office and WordPad. HOW CAN I RECOVER MY LOST PROGRAM? System Restore has not helped. Thank you SO MUCH for any help! |
| Mail Merge Problems - Not sending mails in HTML format Posted: 26 Mar 2015 06:45 PM PDT Hi guys, I have Windows 7 Ultimate with Office 2007 Professional Plus. All service packs and updates installed correctly. When I try to send email messages using mail merge with word, if i chose HTML format when finishing the merge, nothing will happen. But if i send it as plain text or attachment, it works. I have tried to installed the KB, setting outlook as default mail program, cheking this on the registry, converting the doc to html, and other different stuff that i have found on the internet. Does anyone have any kind of solution to send emails using office 2007? Thanks a lot |
| How do I sign out from One Drive? Posted: 26 Mar 2015 05:26 PM PDT I have a Windows 7 computer running Windows 2013. When using Word, I click "Save As" and can see the option to save files to my One Drive. The problem is that I no longer remember the password for the account. I want to know if there is some way to disconnect from the current One Drive account and sign into a new one. I have searched for a solution to this and have not yet found one. Please keep in mind that I am NOT interested in resetting the password for the current One Drive account. I would like to disconnect/remove the current one and sign in with a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
| Copy/Paste options do not prevent reformatting of pasted text inside a drawing canvas within a table cell. Posted: 26 Mar 2015 03:57 PM PDT I created a drawing canvas inside a table cell in a WORD document. I populated the canvas with various grapical elements that contain text and also plain text boxes. The font I am using is Calibri, both in the body text proper (outside the canvas), in tables, and inside the canvas. However, when I copy any element that has text from within the canvas and then paste, also within the canvas, the font changes to Times New Roman. I have to select the object and manually change it to Calibri font. A real time waster. What I've tried so far: 1. Default Font setting I opened the Font dialog from the top toolbar, selected the Calibri font, Regular (but cleard the font size setting). clicked the Default button, and accepted the change for this document only. This had no effect on the behavior described above. 2. Copy/Paste options
I went to File > Options > Advanced > Cut, copy and paste > Pasting within the same document, and experimented with all three possible settings. It made no difference in the behavior. Just in case WORD somehow thought a copy from within a canvas was from soem other document, I also experimented with the settings under "Pasting between documents." Also, no change in behavior. |
| StyleRef Field in header breaks | discontinues repeating Posted: 26 Mar 2015 03:45 PM PDT Hello, I am working in a MS Word (2013) table that spans across 23 pages. The Header has two StyleRef fields that display Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles from within the table, all of which are in the same Section. The StyleRef field for the Heading 2 style breaks | discontinues repeating the same Heading 2 content to subsequent pages in five of eight pages that use the same Heading 2, after successfully repeating on the three preceding pages. When I toggle the field code in the Header, the StyleRef field displays on those five pages, but the content for the Heading 2 does not display). The field starts behaving again when Word picks up the next Heading 2 content. (I checked to make sure the font wasn't somehow set to white on just those pages.) Does anyone know if the issue is a limitation on the number of pages across which Word will allow the same Style content to repeat using the StyleRef field code? This functionality is working with other Heading 2 content in the Header, but none of them are longer than three pages. Hope this makes sense as described; any help resolving this will be much appreciated. |
