Microsoft Word - code for manipulating footer

Microsoft Word - code for manipulating footer

code for manipulating footer

Posted: 30 May 2013 11:18 AM PDT

Hello All!

I have a macro which creates a word doc and inserts some text via bookmarks.

I am struck badly when I was trying to modify the footer. This is what I was trying to do:

Footer in 1st Page: "Sample Text"
Footer in 2nd Page: "Sample Text".1
Footer in 3rd Page: "Sample Text".2

and so on.. so Footer in nth page would be "Sample Text".(n-1)

I am also trying to align these footers to the right hand side.

How can we do this using vba? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Word Styles don't save changes

Posted: 30 May 2013 11:11 AM PDT

I change two of my heading styles, and yet whenever I exit and reopen Word, those styles revert to their previous format.  Sometimes one heading reverts, sometimes two.  Modifying the styles to apply to all new documents doesn't make a different either.  

How to add a self numbering Set 1 of 10, Set 2 of 10 to the footer of a word document?

Posted: 30 May 2013 05:30 AM PDT

Labels

I use a Word 2010 macro that prints labels.  This is the code that creates the labels.

I cannot figure out how to close the label document and return to the Word document after it prints.

 

How to begin page numbers at 1 on a different page other than the actual page 1

Posted: 29 May 2013 05:47 PM PDT

This is becoming a real pain and is more difficult than it should be.

I have a document that is over 400 pages.  The first 3 pages are title pages and a blank page.  i want the actual numbering to being at "1" on the page where the text begins, which is on the actual page 4 of the document.

Clicking the box for "Different First Page" merely takes it away from page 1 and makes the actual page 2 "1"...

I see no option whatsoever for formatting that I want "1" to begin on actual page 4.

The same goes for a header I would like to add.  I don't see the option to make it NOT APPEAR on the first 3 pages!

Please help, this is very frustrating.  I have been very adept up until now at Word, but this new Word 2010 is giving me fits.

Adding a numbered outline in Word 2010 Template/Form

Posted: 29 May 2013 05:20 PM PDT

I have created a "Process Template" in Office 2010 that requests the user to enter specific information in several sections. All those sections are working exactly as I want them to.

The last section is where I'm having trouble. This is where users need to describe each step of the process they are working on. I want the template to reflect the outline formatting:
 
1.
    a.
         i.
              i.i. (and so on)

The user should be able to start typing at the top level (1.) and continue as appropriate. This outline section needs to be flexible to allow the user to enter whatever content makes sense. In other words, there may be a step 1., and a step a., but no lower steps. He/she would then go to step 2. and repeat the outline format as needed.

I've requested help several times, but only receive feedback for creating the outline itself. I can do that, but need to know how to adapt the outline to my template.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Thank you,
Marilyn

autocorrect custom settings work fine on one document, but not on others

Posted: 29 May 2013 01:52 PM PDT


We have one document where the custom autocorrect settings work. We can copy that document and use autocorrect as we want to in those specific documents. But if we open another old document, autocorrect does not have the custom autocorrect settings we need. And if a new document is opened, the same problem occurs. Default autocorrect functionality is present in all documents, but the custom settings are missing.

The user recently upgraded from office 2007 to 2010 and moved his custom settings manually. Given that they work in this one document and its child documents, it seems the settings were moved properly, however other files fail to work, unless they are based off of this specific file.

I cannot see any settings that are different in autocorrect between a file that works and a file that does not work. Am I missing something? Is there a way to attach custom autocorrect settings to a single file, like I am seeing here? Is there a way I can import these custom settings to all documents?

I need these custom autocorrect settings to work in every file that is opened, all the time. At the moment the user is using the document that works as a template, and pasting in old documents to make files that work.... or else copying and renaming this file to make new documents.

Thanks!

Word 2010 - Normal Template, how to reduce size

Posted: 29 May 2013 08:58 AM PDT

In Word 2010, the Normal Template is very large ~2.8Mb. 

 

I have gone into the template content by renaming the "dotm" extension to "zip", and found that the largest items are in the "fonts" folder. 

 

(e.g. "font1.odttf", "font2.odttf", "font3.odttf", etc.)  There are 6 of these ranging in size from 132 kb to 1.4Mb.

 

I have tried to simply delete them, however the template becomes corrupted.

 

I do not want to create a new template since this one has all of my AutoCorrect entries, customizations, etc.

 

Is there a way to remove these font files without corrupting the template?

Why do I get the messages Windows Installer and Patch package cannot be opened?

Posted: 28 May 2013 09:57 AM PDT

Previously, I had Microsoft Office Home And Student 2010 on my computer.  I have always run Windows XP.  I removed the MS Office 2010, then later I was advised I needed more RAM so as advised, I removed the old memory card and replaced it with a 1g memory card.  Recently I used the Office dvd to reload the Office suite.  I assume it's reloaded because it's listed in Add Or Remove and also in the Start Menu under Run All Programs.  Previously, I only used Word from the Office suite.  However, when I try to open Word, I get first the message Windows Installer and then Patch Package Cannot Be Opened.  I am a computer dinosaur and have no idea what a Patch Package is, and I have never seen the Windows Installer message before.  I also installed the Microsoft Fixit, but this doesn't help at all.  I thought I would just remove that Office suite and start over, but nothing happens when I try to do that.  Please, someone, help me with this.  Thanks.

criteria for paragraph mark after merge field?

Posted: 28 May 2013 03:02 AM PDT

it seems the default behaviour for word is not to show a paragraph mark if the directly preceeding merge field is blank.

except sometimes it isn't, and blank lines are left in the document.

can someone point me to a page listing the criteria for this behaviour either way?

many thanks in advance,

A custom template has been written for our company which has Automatically Update Document Styles turned on (which is causing us problems).  So how do I get it turned off? 

 

I have opened the template, gone to (Word 2010) Developer > Document Template; tick-off the Automatically Update Document Styles box then click on OK.  Saved the template again (also tried renaming it).  Each time I return to the Document Template box and it is turned on again!

I think you should pay attention to the issue #69129
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69129)
It is about smart font technology called "Graphite". If you know
something about OpenType technology, Graphite is very similar to it, but
has something that makes it the best smart font technology of all.
Beside that it gives better typographic control to a user, it was
originally intented to make it possible for any people to educate, to
type and work with a computer in their own language irrespective of (1)
to what extent the script that this language uses has sophisticated
behavior and (2) whether this language and particular script are used by
great or very small community. Graphite unlike OpenType is extensible,
free and open-sourced, so the point (2) is attainable with an ease. It
has many other advantages. In fact Graphite is really indispensable with
the issues of internationalization. Support for Graphite would much
simlify the process of localization of OOo and would give much
typographic potential to it.

Setting up mail merge to print tax reciepts.
Address and reciept number are on the same line.
When the address is very short, and reciept number is in the wrong place,towards the middle of the form, it should be near the right edge.
When the address is long the reciept gets pushed totally to the next line - yuck.
I have a pre-printed form so must comply with it.
How do I absolutely position the reciept number to the right edge of the form, no matter how long the address?

Opening Word 2010 and document also opens, can't delete

Posted: 28 May 2013 11:47 AM PDT

When opening Word 2010, automatically a document is displayed that I can't delete. I save it then delete, close Word then open and the document appears again. I have checked read only and security settings but no answer there. I also reinstalled Office via the change a program instruction and no luck. Outside of that, Word still works OK. Question is how to delete the document and reinstate Word as it should be.

What is the future of "maintain compatibility with previous versions of word"? How will future (beyond office 2013) word maintain this compatibility?

Posted: 28 May 2013 08:06 AM PDT

I am upgrading to office 2013 from 2003. If I do not "maintain compatibility with previous versions of word" some of my formatting is lost. I am in the process of converting ca. 8200 doc files to docx and due to the formatting issues I am forced to use the "maintain compatibility" option.

My query is, in 3, 5 or 10 years time, what will happen then? Will I have to reformat my documents? OR will this "compatibility" option still be available / automatic?

How do you interline two paragraphs?

Posted: 27 May 2013 06:44 PM PDT

Hello, I want to show a translation between the lines of the original text.

For example I want these two paragraphs shown on alternate lines:

Les 27 pays membres de l'Union européenne sont finalement parvenus à s'entendre, lundi soir à Bruxelles. Au terme d'une journée de négociations, les ministres des affaires étrangères européens ont décidé de lever l'embargo sur les armes pour les rebelles syriens.
The 27 member countries of the European Union have finally come to an understanding this Monday evening in Brussels. At the end of a day of negotiations, the foreign affairs ministers of Europe decided to lift the embargo on arms for Syrian rebels.

like so:

-Les 27 pays members de l'Union européenne sont finalement
-The 27 member countries of the European Union have finally
parvenus à s'entendre, lundi soir à Bruxelles. Au terme d'une
come to an understanding this Monday evening in Brussels.
journée de négociations, les ministres des affaires étrangères...
At the end of a day of negotiations, the foreign affairs ministers...

Is it possible? I prefer not to manually create new lines as I want it to automatically adjust where the lines break based on upon text size & document width (just like normal paragraphs). So if the document gets wider, I want "come" to append to "finally", and "parvenus" to append to "finalement".

Thank you for your help

exit Track Changes fails

Posted: 27 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT

I am using the latest version of Word in Office 365. In a single one of my many documents, the Tract Changes feature seems permanently activated. When I open the document, a vertical line appears to the right of the text, with a large empty space further to the right (the reviewing pane?). I can toggle the Track Changes icon off, then select No mark-up, and the line and space disappear. I then save the document, in the hope that the vertical line and space won't reappear when I next open the document. But they do and when I print the document, without making any changes, the page has the same line and wasted space. Help, please!

Mail merge in Word 2010 with calculation result from Excel

Posted: 24 May 2013 08:11 AM PDT

I have an Excel worksheet that has the results of a survey. There are cells in which the survey results are calculated as a percentage (5 out of 10 respondents said "Excellent" or 50%, so the cell shows 50%)

There are different sections of the survey, and I need to send the results from each section to a different person in a customized email. I was hoping to do this via mail merge, but I can only get so far, because the cell where the percentage is shown isn't in a matching field.

Across the top I have the headers (Survey Section Leader) First Name > Last Name > Email > Section Name >Very Helpful > Not Helpful >Total Respondents > % Very Helpful > % Not Helpful

What I can't do is figure out how to insert, say, Row3 ColumnJ data into the merged document as a field. So I can have the message say at this point "In your <<Section Name>> <<R3CJ>> of respondents indicated <<Very Helpful>>."

Do I have this set up totally the wrong way? Am I trying to combine info (individual cells into mail merge) that shouldn't be combined? Will this nightmare ever end?

Any help  would be greatly appreciated.

word 2013 table messup

Posted: 22 May 2013 06:30 PM PDT

Normal tables, if you insert a table. If you type past the boundaries of the default box, then the box will automaticly extend to fit just one more letter. If you type in one more letter, then it will make room for another letter, and so on. I accidently did something to change that. Instead now, if I type to a point, then the box will extend to a TAB's worth, so I only fill about half of the table box with text when it extends. It will also shrink all the other boxe's vertical boundries. I don't know if I pressed something, accidently clicked a button on the pad, or what. I also don't know if my laptop type is effected it. I have a Toshiba Satillite L955, for those of you interested

 

P.S. "TAB's worth" refers to the space you create when you hit the TAB button

Please install "mandrake-doc-en" package and read the Starter's Guide
(Access path: K -> More Apps -> Docs -> Mandrake Docs)
This will cover all of your questions. To install any package on the CDs,
go K -> System -> Config -> Config your computer (root pass required) :
Select Package Mgr.

Mandrake comes with a configuration app "drakconf" (K -> System -> Config
-> Config your computer) that covers most aspects of system management. It
also works in text mode on console (e.g. Ctrl-Al-F1) so if you mess up
with your VGA settings and X doesn't start anymore, you can repair X from
console (login as root and enter drakconf). It provides an abstraction
layer between user and real Linux configuration tools, but centralizes and
streamlines system administration for a new user. If you want to really
learn Linux then refrain from drakconf. If you just want to use Linux in
the most convenient way possible, then by all means use drakconf. But
please don't forget: Drakconf is peculiar to Mandrake, just like yast is
peculiar to SuSE. If you use those distro-tailored control centers you
won't be able to use other distros equally well. You would be married to
Mandrake, in a sense.

--8<--
 

Don't download tgz files. Download rpm ones. And try to find an rpm that
is either built for or said to be compatible with Mandrake 10.0. Just
because a package is in rpm format, it doesn't guarantee that it will
install on Mandrake 10.0. Its requirements (dependencies) must also be met
by the system it is to be installed on. Even if the packages requirements
are compatible with Mandrake 10.0, then there is another pitfall when you
install non-Mandrake rpm on Mandrake: The default menu hierarchy on
Mandrake is different than that of standard KDE. So possibly your new app
won't show up as an icon in the K menu. Though there are ways to overcome
this (e.g. go to drakconf menu editor and add it manually). When you
install from CDs, the 4 installation CDs are automatically added to your
local package repository. (Package Manager -> Media Manager) You can do
either of these two with the external packages you dowloaded: 1. Just
click on them to install. 2. Create a separate repository media and
include all your extra rpms in it. Then it becomes your "5th CD". It
doesn't matter whether they're really on a CD or in a directory. This is
the recommended way.

One more recommendation: Please try not to mix system administration
tools. I.e. don't create a new user via webmin, while editing K menu via
kmenuedit, and setting language options via drakconf. Until you are
confident enough, stick to one method as far as it works, and try other
means only when your primary method either doesn't provide a way for the
task at hand, or it can't do it successfully. OTOH, as I've said before,
if you really want to learn Linux, please stay away from those easy
control panels. It would be somewhat painful but much more rewarding
experience.

Where exactly would this "killing" come from?...

New users who woud go Mac rather than Windows or Windows users who would
switch to Mac?

Either way MS gets the proverbial egg roll so why should they compete with
themselves?

But your premise is flawed in the first place - kinda the old 'chicken &

imagined "killing" - If there were, MS would be there... Bill Gates didn't

Entourage Address Book(s)

No duplicates. The categories are simply not applied if they're in the

Yes, but that's awkward to have to do every single time I add a new

Window position on the monitor

Posted: 08 Dec 2007 11:54 AM PST

Hi,

Using visual basic macros (and probably with AppleScript) in Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint you can set the window position.

In Entourage you may be able to use AppleScript. Here's a snippet from the
Entourage AppleScript dictionary:

window n : every window
elements
contained by application.
properties
class (type, r/o) : the type of window
bounds (rectangle) : the boundary rectangle for the window

The "bounds" property is the first one I would check out, or look for a
"border" property.

Inputting address on entourage

..>> I'm wanting to input my contacts onto the address book in entourage. My 

This is an issue that has caused me some degree of consternation, as well.
There is real value in maintaining separate contacts (both in Entourage and
Address Book, if you sync them) for people that you likely email to
regularly. That makes the auto-fill much more useful. When you need to print
addresses you either have to manually edit one of the contacts or maintain a
separate "coupled" entry

Thanks for that. I did the Russian roulette thing and I've been lucky! I've
just had to reinstall Office, following upgrade to Leopard (I know I could
have just migrated the apps across from my old Mac, but my old Mac's still
going to be using Office (for my son), so I reckoned I'd have to re-install
to get the product keys sorted.)

I'll file your tips away for future reference, as I'm still not sure which
product keys are on which of my other two Macs!

Attachments Corrupted?

Posted: 05 Dec 2007 11:27 AM PST

Although I'm not sure about the current situation I am sure that reinstaling
Office isn't the way to handle it... rarely is that the appropriate approach
for correcting issues on a Mac.

It would help if you supplied the exact wording of the message you receive,
but for starters it doesn't necessarily mean that a virus is involved.
Secondly, Entourage - AFAIK - doesn't scan for viruses in the documents you
attach, so I suspect that message is being triggered by something else... do
you have Norton or some other virus software installed?

One thing you might try is to remove the Normal template from your MUD (if
you need reference to finding it see this link:
http://word.mvps.org/mac/MacWordNormal.html

Make sure no Office apps are running at the time, then launch Word - it will
create a new Normal when you do. Then make a new file & see if it attaches
without incident. If so, it indicates that your original Normal was corrupt
in some way & you can then dispose of it.

If you ahven't been in the habit of doing so when updating OS X & most
other software it might also be a good idea to run Disk Utility - Repair
Disk Permissions. Should that not correct the problem - or if it recurs -
post back with the details requested above.

Office 2004 file ownership

Posted: 05 Dec 2007 09:17 AM PST

Glad it's straightened out, but as "odd" as the behavior may seem I'd stay
with Parallels - depending on how you need to work. If your Win activity is
exclusively Win, your Mac activity is strictly Mac & never the twain shall
meet, Boot Camp may be a viable solution for you.

However, I need to be able to swap back & forth between Mac Word & PC Word
to Mac XL, To Mac InDesign to PC Photoshop, etc. so having to restart every
time I need to swap OS is just not practical or acceptable - I'd rather have
a Mac & a PC sitting side-by-side:-)

On a related note, have you looked at VMWare Fusion? It may be worth
considering, but either of the 3 will have pros & cons.

Transfer Office files on a PC to a new Mac

Posted: 04 Dec 2007 03:34 PM PST

Side Note for the archives:

Many people think that MacOffice comes with Publisher or Access or
whatever programs came with WinOffice the last time they bought it. It
sounds like you know this, but MacOffice consists only of Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Entourage (similar to Outlook). And Messenger.

Publisher, Access, Visio, OneNote, FrontPage and probably other programs
I can't recall right now, do not exist for the Mac, although there are
programs that will let you do the same things, and in some cases, can
import the MS files. Or the MS programs could be run in
Parallels/Windows on the Mac.

Excel 2004 Pallet's?

Posted: 04 Dec 2007 02:31 PM PST

Hi Brian,

Windows versions of Office don't have an equivalent to the formatting
palette.

However, you can create your own dockable toolbars (which you can also do in
Windows Office).

To create a dockable toolbar that has any combination of commands you desire
use View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars/Menus...

In the dialog box click the NEW button to create a new, empty toolbar. It
will be very small and you might not even notice it on the screen, but it's
there if you look around. Turn it on and off by checking and unchecking its
name in the toolbar list and you might find it easier that way.

Next, click on the COMMANDS tab of the dialog box. Drag any commands you
like to your new toolbar (or any other toolbar or menu for that matter).

You can lots of your own toolbars so that if you want various sets of
commands together you can have that.

Click the OK button when you are done and you now have your own set of
toolbars.

You can even attach customized toolbars to individual workbooks. Just go
back into that dialog box and click the Attach button to attach a copy of
any of your customized toolbars to any given workbook. When you give that
workbook to someone else they will see your customized toolbar when they
open the workbook.

-Jim

"Automator Actions"?

Posted: 04 Dec 2007 06:54 AM PST

For what it's worth, in Office X & 2004, the license agreement for the
one-license version has allowed users to install the software on up to one
laptop computer _and_ one desktop computer. It simply does not allow the
software to be used on both machines at the same time. I am not familiar
with the Office 2008 license agreement, so I don't know if this practice
will continue; perhaps someone else can comment.

With the Home & Student Edition, because you get additional licenses, you
can use the software on both machines at the same time.

Problem after updating Microsoft Office on my Mac

Posted: 02 Dec 2007 07:40 PM PST

Sorry, no. That's the Product ID, and although it is generated from the
CD Key, there is no way to extract the CD key from the program, that I
know of. But some people store their license numbers in their computer.

I also have no idea where to find pirated software.

If you will be back in reach of your Office CD within a month, I guess
you could use the Test Drive until then, although it's a tool of the
devil that you will need to remove before reinstalling Office.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/office2004/office2004.xml&secid=4&ssid=1&flgnosysreq=True

Alternatively, the free NeoOffice might get you through until you get
back to your CD.

You should also be able to contact MS and replace your CD.

You don't have to "do" anything. The licence you have can be used an
