| format hyphens (--) to dash (—) not working Posted: 29 Mar 2013 07:55 PM PDT I have Windows Office 2007 running on an HP Pavilion a6500f with Windows 7. I had to have the motherboard replaced and now when using Word I can't get the format hyphens (--) to dash (—) to work. Both places under Word Options, AutoCorrect Options (AutoFormat and AutoFormat As You Type) are checked but it just won't work. This feature worked just fine before the motherboard crashed.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this as that's a feature I use very frequently and having to remember to go back and use Copy, Paste to get my dash is getting really out of hand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| "Documents.library-ms" warning message Posted: 29 Mar 2013 08:08 AM PDT
When I try to open anything in my libraries (documents, pictures etc.) I just get the message:
"Documents.library-ms" is no longer working. This library can be safely deleted from your computer. Folders that have been included will not be affected.
Obviously I don't want to delete my libraries if I'm going to lose all my documents. Can someone please explain how I can resolve this. Thank you. |

| Table Troubles Posted: 27 Mar 2013 10:48 PM PDT Greetings!
I have a bunch of long docx files that contain many tables.
Some of the content in the cells in these tables are truncated, as follows:
in the
beginning
when it should be
in the beginning
Even though I right click on the particular column of the table and use the "automatically adjust to content" (or whatever it is called in English -- I am using word in another language, though all the files are in English, so that is not the problem), the truncated cells stay the same.
It would be nice to have a macro that would whisk through the file and "correct" all these mangled cells, but a) I don't know how to create such a macro, and b) I can't think of any other way to solve this vexing problem.
I would greatly appreciate it if a kind soul in this forum would lend me a hand.

| Macro Does Not Run on Ribbon Posted: 26 Mar 2013 09:17 AM PDT OK I hope I list everything correct so you can understand my struggle. I am working in Word 2010 and have created a ribbton through the custom UI edtiro with the following html code: < customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui"> < ribbon startFromScratch="false"> < tabs> < tab id="customCalcTab" label="Calculation Template"> < group id="customCompany" label="Change Company Name"> < button id="customUS" label="US" onAction="Calculation.ChangeCompanyName.CompanyNameUS" /> < button id="customCanada" label="Canada" onAction="Calculation.ChangeCompanyName.CompanyNameCanada" /> </ group> </ tab> </ tabs> </ ribbon> </ customUI> The two macros change the name of the company in the document depending on whether it is the US company or the Canada company. The VB code is attached the document (not a template located somewhere else). - Project Name: Calculation
- Module Name: Change Company Name
- Macro Names: CompanyNameUS or CompanyNameCanada
I cannot get this to run. - If I run it as shown, I receive "The macro canot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.:
- If I run it with just the macro name onAction="CompanyNameUS", I receive "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"
The macros are below and run fine if I was to just run the macro on the document from the developers tab: Sub CompanyNameCanada() Dim i As Long
Dim rngStory As Word.Range
i = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
'Iterate through all story types in the current document For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Do
Select Case rngStory.StoryType
Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
With rngStory.Find
.Text = "NP Inc."
.Replacement.Text = "NP Canada Ltd."
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Case Else
'Do Nothing
End Select
Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
Loop Until rngStory Is Nothing
Next rngStory
End Sub Sub CompanyNameUS()
Dim i As Long
Dim rngStory As Word.Range
i = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
'Iterate through all story types in the current document
For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Do
Select Case rngStory.StoryType
Case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
With rngStory.Find
.Text = "NP Canada Ltd."
.Replacement.Text = "NP Inc."
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Case Else
'Do Nothing
End Select
Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
Loop Until rngStory Is Nothing
Next rngStory
End Sub
Can anyone tell me the proper syntax in the HTML code to call the macro? Thanks Debra Ann |
