| Styles & Word 2010 Posted: 20 Dec 2012 10:55 AM PST I've created a template (.docx) and have created 'styles' associated with it. Somehow, I managed to get the specific styles on the Quick Style ribbon and when I try them, they work. My problem is I can't seem to keep them! What I mean is if I save it as a style set, yes the styles appear on the ribbon, but the formatting of them is all screwed up. I've tried 'modify'ing them and click on 'new documents based on this template; and yes, I save the document, but it doesn't stick. I'm obviously missing a step, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is. Can someone help please? Thanks.. |
| Why can't I insert a table of figures, in addition to a TOC? Posted: 19 Dec 2012 01:38 PM PST Hi, When I go to insert a table of figures (button under References tab, in Captions), I get a popup message saying "Do you want to replace the selected table of figures?" -- while highlighting my ToC. My choices are "OK" (presumably to overwrite my ToC, which I don't want), or "Cancel", which just allows me to back out. I'm not allowed to ADD another table. How come? Thanks! Mark H. |
| How Do I Prevent Text I type at the Top of the Page from "Pushing" Picture Boxes/Other Below It Down the Page? Posted: 19 Dec 2012 01:16 PM PST I am preparing a series of documents that have a canned text element, including at times a picture, in the bottom half of the 8 x 11 paper. In the top half, however, each document will be different. I have the bottom half in place. But when I begin typing the text in the top half, each line return pushes the bottom half a line down, until it jumps to a new page.
How do I "Freeze" the bottom half so it won't move??

| Can I change the number of maximum undos in Word 2010? Posted: 19 Dec 2012 12:23 PM PST What causes the maximum number of undos you can do in Word and Outlook email messages? Can I change this? I noticed in PowerPoint, there's an option to change the Maximum Number of Undos, but not in Word. I have also found that when I'm using my laptop at home, I'm limited to about 20 undos. On my work computer it almost seems as if I'm unlimited, but another person in my company is limited to only 5 undos in his Word and Outlook messages. If anyone has an explanation, that would be helpful. Thanks! |
| word 2007 doesn't save size and position of windows when closing Posted: 19 Dec 2012 09:05 AM PST Word opens systematically with a tiny little window. I tried everything but it doesn't seem to be willing to cooperate. It simply won't save the new settings when closing. Any suggestions? Thank you. And Merry Christmas to all Christians, and a Blessed Holiday season to the others! lskck |
| Hot to get Page number form the Index to jump to that page, like TOC Posted: 19 Dec 2012 06:58 AM PST Everyone, I would like to find out if the following can be done. It is as follows: 1. When I create TOC, it gets set up that if you click on page number, document automatically jumps to that page. That doesn't happen with page numbers listed in index. Is there any way to have that feature work in index too? Thanx in advance. Jerry |
| Office Home and Business 2010 Issues -- Corrupted Installation? Posted: 19 Dec 2012 02:44 AM PST I have a couple of problems that have emerged recently.
(1) Page Layout tab in Word and Excel appears corrupted in that it now only shows page size options as A4, Letter, Legal and Custome Size.
All other options such as A5, etc, have disappeared. I therefore conclude that the aplications have become corrupted in some way.
Up until about a week or fortnight ago, everything operated as expected.
Will appreciate advice as to what may have caused this and how it me be resolved.
------------------------------------------------------
(2) Although I have purchased a retail copy of Office Home and Business 2010, have installed it on my desktop PC, and have used it for many months, it now appears that my system may have reverted to opening the OEM original trial version. I'm not entirley sure about that, but I have attempted to obtain online asistance from Misrosoft Support and when asked for the Product ID Key, the one I identify from one of the applications (e.g. Word or Excel, etc) I get a response that the quoted ID number has expired. This leads me to suspect that the system is not identifying my installed and registered retail copy. Is my thinking reasonable? An attempted reinstallation also responds thet my Product Key is invalid.
I have installed the same retail copy on my laptop under Microsoft's licence permissions and am not experiencing the same issues as with my desktop copy. Office operates as expected on that machine.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Any help that can be offered wil lbe greatly appreciated.

| I want to somehow enter the diacritic marks for Sanskrit (these are often dots beneath or above Roman characters). Posted: 14 Dec 2012 04:45 PM PST I use Microsoft Word on my Desktop. I want to somehow enter the diacritic marks for Sanskrit (these are often dots beneath or above Roman characters). Is it possible with the software I have ? I would rather not fool around with downloading some special program. Also, for clarification, I don't need to use Sanskrit characters but rather I want to use diacritical marks with Roman characters. Thank you very much for patient reading and prompt guidance in advance. I really appreciate it. |
| Where is the Lock icon? Windows 10. Posted: 14 Dec 2012 04:04 PM PST I create forms with fields to send to employees to fill in. I lock the forms so they can't inadvertently change the body. In MS Word 2010, I can edit only the fields. I can't unlock the body of the form I created. I need to make changes to some of these after receiving them from employees. On XP and Vista, there was a "Lock" icon on the tool bar, and all I had to do was click that to unlock, then lock it back after I had made my changes. I have tried HELP, but the instructions don't match what I have on the Windows 10 screen. I can't get my job done until I can unlock the body of the form. Please help! Betty Hendricks |
| Drop Down Lists Posted: 14 Dec 2012 03:27 PM PST I am trying to creat a drop down list that will pull other information. A better explanation, I have a drop down list with customer names on it in a script. This allows me to go in and select the person I am talking to or about and see their name in my calling script. What I want it to do is when a name is selected in the box I want the phone number to appear in another location. For instance: Hi this message is for John please contact Mr. (drop down box name) at (222) 223-2222 <------- I want this info to populate when the name is selected from the drop down box. I am tech savy but not familiar with this particular scenario. |

| should i work in draft view and format later in print layout? Posted: 14 Dec 2012 02:29 PM PST Is it wise to create documents without worrying about formatting - i.e. using draft view. It was suggested that formatting be left until later when reworking the document in print layout. Is this a wise course of action? |

| Mail Merge Label Print Problem Posted: 14 Dec 2012 07:06 AM PST I printed 33 Avery 5160 labels earlier in Word from an Excel datasheet (Office 2010) today with no problem (I used the mapping template "Address". Later today, I wanted to change the formatting of the labels and instead of using the "Address" template, I started 'from scratch' and mapped the fields manually because "Address" did not include 'Address2'. In addition, I added 4 more addresses (37 total) to the list. As you probably know, Avery 5160 has 30 labels per sheet, so I would need two sheets. When I print now, I first get 15 sheets of 'blank' labels and the last two sheets have the first address and the 31st address printed singularly on the first (top left) label on the 16th and 17th sheet respectively. Admittedly, I must have done something differently between the first print job and the next (three attempts), does anyone know how I can remedy this "blank pages" printing problem? Thanks...Earl |
