I need to delete extra short line under endnotes in Word 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 03:01 PM PDT

There is a short horizontal line showing up (same length as the endnote separator) directly under the endnotes. I don't think it's a border but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

Word VBA: Finding/deleting the next text box

How is that done?

Linking Microsoft Word and Excel

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 02:03 PM PDT

Howdy. Well. I have no problem linking Excel Documents and Word Documents... But my overall goal is to create a template in excel and word that can be copied into other folders. So when it is copied, the link is not broken between the new copied files. Whenever I do this, it seems to break the link, and I don't want to fuss around with relinking both files.

 

Thank you for any help.

I don't want the "SitePoint" or "SkyDrive" options in my Share menu. Can I get rid of them?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 01:56 PM PDT

I e-mail documents frequently, and do not use SitePoint or SkyDrive. I will never ever ever use SitePoint or SkyDrive, and yet I'm forced to scroll around to skip them every time I try to "Share" a document. Is there any way I can remove these nags from the FIle/Share menu in MS Word 2011 for Mac? 

Word 2010 will not attach and send document through Outlook 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:37 PM PDT

I have Office Home and Business 2010.  I recently upgraded to a new computer and switched things over.  My old computer ran XP and now I have Windows 7.  I'm using POP accounts in Outlook.  I didn't have a problem writing a document in Word and then emailing it through Outlook as a PDF. I tried on Windows 7 and get an error message saying "this action is not supported while an older version of Outlook is running".   There are no older versions of Outlook on this computer.  The help simply stated "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure; operation not supported."  I'm at a loss.

Unexplained Autocorrect

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:27 PM PDT

In the last few days I have suddenly been plagued by my name appending at the end of words like "can't" "won't" and "isn't". So "won't" becomes "won'Monica".  The only new thing I have added to this machine was during a Webinar I used my own fat fingers as an example. I added 'Moncia' Replaced with 'Monica' to the AutoCorrect list. (Never had a problem using that on other PC's and there is a long story but I am working on a fresh install of Office 2010.)  I have since deleted that addition from AutoCorrect and checked through every potential example of said words in the autocorrect list to see if something weird got added in error. Nothing. I've been through my Auto Text - nothing even close in there. Checked the Macros list - nada; so I have deleted my Normal.dotm - still happens. What have I missed? Where could this be coming from? I feel like I've been pranked.

Word 2013: Don't want blank line every time I hit "Enter"

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:14 AM PDT

Just started using Word 2013.  By default, it adds a blank line every time I hit "Enter."

 

I don't want that.  When I hit "Enter" I want it to go to the next line, not two lines down.

 

How do I change the default?

SEQ Numbering- skip numbers/letters?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:12 AM PDT

I was wondering if there was a way to skip a specific number of letters in the SEQ field.

For example, in my document I have a set of four appendices ("Appendices B through E") that I want to keep together.

Is there a way I can type it into the field to skip three numbers without having to type \r "5" for "Appendix E"?


Thanks!

Windows 8, Norton 360, Word 2007

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Hi There:

 

I'm not exactly sure of where the problem lies, but I'll lay it out for you as best I can.  I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 8, and did a clean install of the software licenses I had for my old (Windows 7) computer.  Among them is Microsoft Office 2007, and I also have Norton 360.  These programs worked fine on my old computer, but on this one, every time I open a file in Word I get the following error message:

There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.

If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note: This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is not compatible with the Microsoft Office system or needs to be updated.
 

The first place I went here, the Microsoft support forums, where I was directed to this site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329820/en-us

Following the instructions I opened Norton 360, went to Settings/Antivirus/Scans and Risks and discovered that the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan was on. I turned it off and clicked Apply, then Close. Re-opened Word, tried opening a file and received the same error message.  Went back into Norton 360, re-enabled the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan and tried that.  No difference.



Then I went to the Norton 360 support forums, where it was suggested I check a couple of things.  Windows 8 (not 8.1), 64-bit, 8 GB RAM all good. No problems with other Office Suite programs, just Word. Windows Update automatically updates MS Office files as well and Norton also auto-updates.


Last night I re-downloaded the MS Office install file and did a Repair install.  Shut down the computer, turned it on this morning and I still have the same problem.  I may have to completely uninstall Office, clean the registry, etc. and re-install Office but I'd rather not do that if there's a simpler solution.


Mike.


P.S.  Just to complicate things, my desktop computer is also running Windows 8, has the same Norton 360 license, the same Microsoft Word 2007 license, and if I open the same file(s) on my desktop I don't get an error.

My Word 2013 autocorrect will not allow me to input any words beginning with a captial "i".

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 07:39 AM PDT

Many of my documents must be in all caps. For example it will not take "IM" into "I'M".  Autocorrect forces the initial "i" into lowercase.  And because all the text is in uppercase, any word beginning with an "i" cannot be autocorrected.  How do I fix this?  Thank you!

Something went wrong while downloading your template

Hello,

When clicking on a supplied template to open it, the process fails and gives the error message - "Something went wrong while downloading your template". We had the same issue with online templates in Office 2010. Has anyone had this same issue and is there a fix for it? We use Sophos Endpoint Security for anti-virus. Thanks.

Error on a Word 2007 document running macro on Word 2003

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 09:00 PM PDT

I am currently running Word 2003 on my computer at work.  I have a document which allows me generate a quotation of a machine for a customer.  I was given a template which includes a macro specific to this quotation template.  I'm having a few problems with it.

 

Few things you need to know first:

  1. The template I was given is a Word 2007 document, but I've manage to download a program which allows me to open them in Word 2003.
  2. Included with the template there are also additional documents which are the different types of machines or specifications that relate to whatever quotation is required.

The previous template was a Word 2003 document, so I had no problems running the macro, but the procedure was as follows:

 

  1. I opened up the template document, the contents was basically the beginnings of a quotation (it had a letterhead, address, cover letter, contents and various other items which were related to the quote.)
  2. I would run the macro and instantly a box would appear titled "Quotation Generator" (see Pic 1)
  3. From here I would click the drop down boxes to make selections (see Pic 2)
  4. I would then select "Create Quotation"
  5. Quotation would be generating prices, specifications and the particular machine I selected for quotation.

Now with new machines being introduced, the template has now be updated and now in Word 2007 format, including the numerous documents for each particular machine they now have.


So now when I follow the same procedures as before, it gives me an "Error 76 - Path not found".  


So when I run the macro, I get the Error 76 box and then the "Quotation Generator" box appears to allow me to make my selections.  Once I make my selections using the drop down boxes (see Pic 2) and I've selected "Create Quotation", I get another box saying the following:

 

Microsoft Visual Basic

 

Run-time error '5174':

 

This file could not be found.

Try one or more of the following:

*Check the spelling of the name of the document.

*Try a different file name.

(\UKRaptorSpec.docx)

 

[Continue]           [End]                      [Debug]                          [Help] 

 

 

The last part is the selections I have to choose from, its not allowing me to continuing, but asks me to either End, which takes me back to an incomplete quotation document, or Debug which takes me the Microsoft Visual Basics Screen and then to a QuoteDialogueBox (Code).


I want to know if there is any way to correct the macro so I won't get the errors.


I have all documents in Word 2003 format as well Word 2007 format which was originally given to me.  I've tried running the new template which is in Word 2003 format but still have the same error coming up.  And the same applies if I run the Word 2007 template, I get the same error.


I hope someone can help :)

How do I adjust SEQ fields for pictures in a table?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:55 PM PDT

Greetings, folks.

Here's what I've been trying to do: basically, I've been trying to align and caption some diagrams, in accordance to the first image below. I'm using a table to help with the alignment: 


What usually happens, however, is THIS:


Adjusting the SEQ fields with the "\r" and "\c" switches does not quite work effectively; even though I can barely manage to make something similar to the first image, all it takes is a single new image caption to reproduce the same results shown in the above picture. The picture below shows the field codes as they currently stand, no modifications made:


Does anyone have any ideas about how to remedy this? Or do captions in tables usually flow from rows first, columns second?

This has been troubling me for quite a while. Therefore, any help you guys have would be deeply appreciated.

A side note: the table above was made with a 4-cell, 2X2 table, with the second column merged. If that's got something to do with caption flow / SEQ field flow, that might be a clue, I guess.

How to format page numbers in Word 2013?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:15 PM PDT

Greetings!

 

I have some edits that I have to complete for my Graduate school in order to complete my dissertation and graduate.  

 

The Graduate school wants the bottom of the page numbers to be exactly 1" from the bottom of the page.  Is there a way to set the defaults for Word 2013 to do this?  Also, I need to avoid orphans and widows.  I recently changed to 2013 from 2003, so this setting may have changed...

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Why print size is reduced automatically in words 2010?

Style Heading 4 in paragraph missing in Navigation Pane, Word 2013

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 04:52 PM PDT

In Word 2013, I changed text to heading 4 style at the beginning of paragraphs and it didn't appear in navigation, except for one phrase with no normal text after the heading text.

I have a long document (200+ pages) with Style Headings 1-3 for organization. I was manually adding a 4th heading at the beginning of some paragraphs and decided to switch to using Style, so they would appear in the Table of Contents (via Word Reference menu) later. I edited all those to Style Heading 4, and all but one were not added to the Navigation Pane. The one that was added had no paragraph (Style Normal) text after the Heading 4 text, while all the others did. I want all of the Style Heading 4 headings to appear in the Navigation Pane, and later in the Table of Contents when I add it. It appears that only paragraphs with Style Heading will add to the Navigation Pane, not text that is assigned to Style Heading in a Style Normal paragraph (even though the formatting changes to the set style).

To resolve this problem, I tried:
- Closing out of all Word documents and re-opening the file.
- Copying a segment of text and pasting it into a new Word file. This did not fix the problem, though all the other heading styles copied correctly.
- Checking the Styles Pane for incorrect data. There were no differences between the heading that appeared in the Navigation Panes and those that didn't.
- Adding a paragraph space between the Heading 4 text and the Normal text. This did not add it to the Navigation Pane. I use Word with "Show Formatting" enabled, so I noticed the paragraph marker was still black after the Heading 4 text. I selected the line and changed the whole thing to Heading 4, the paragraph marker turned blue, and the Heading 4 text appeared in the Navigation Pane. Then I tried deleting the space to get my paragraph back where I want it, and it changed the whole paragraph from Normal to Heading 4. It then locked, and wouldn't let me change the paragraph back to normal. I had to undo to get it back to the Styles I want, removing it from the Navigation Pane.

Below is a simplified Style text layout. Heading 4a doesn't show in the Navigation Pane, but Heading 4b does. All the other Style Heading text appears in the Navigation Pane, and doesn't have additional styles in the paragraph, like Heading 4a does.

X. Heading 1
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

A. Heading 2
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

1. Heading 3
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

a. Heading 4a. normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal
b. Heading 4b.
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

Is this a bug? If yes, is there a workaround that will let me keep normal paragraphs with headings that show in the navigation pane? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

How can I paste text without the formatting with a hotkey?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:24 PM PDT

Hello!

Is there a way to insert copied text without the formatting into a Word document?

Usually, I use the option STRG+V and then I format it, but my question is if there is a faster way? I know that there is this option "insert as plane text", but is there a hotkey available?

I do not want to create a macro, I just want to know how to work faster. :)

Thanks!

Is this intended to include members of the users group in the disk

says you should list /user/ names, seperated by commas. Nothing about
group names to be included.

By the way, don't include anyone in the disk group. That user could just
overwrite the whole hard disk. Include the user joe in the cdrom group,
and change ownership of hdc from root.disk to root.cdrom (if hdc is the
device file of your cdrom). You probably also want to remove the write
bit for others from hdc.

And again: To mount the device you /don't/ need write access to the
device file (in fact, not even read access). That same is true for the
directory you are going to mount the device.

The mount program should be suid root, and thus runs as root, even if
you call it as a user. It will still allow users to mount and unmount
file systems, if there is a matching entry for the device in the fstab
with the user or users option set.
 

You need an entry in your /etc/fstab with the user option set for that
device, e.g.

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

If this were true, it would pose a problem, But it is not true. Grub can in

Can linux box support 2 host names / 2 ip addresses

Posted: 30 Sep 2004 02:15 PM PDT

> Here is my problem:

Nope.

I think it would be easier to make a list of the duplicated services
you want to have on the new box (web, mail, samba, dns, etc.) and find
a way to do it for each one. For example, web and mail support virtual
hosting. The DNS can handle multiple zones by itself. You can also do
the dual-Samba trick i explained in my previous post, and so on.

If you want to have people logging in on ssh and see a new environment,
you can do it with chrooted sshd, only you need to mount /proc in the
chroot, which by my opinion is too insecure. (the hostname stays the
same, as is the same kernel)

If you want separate '/proc's and hostnames, go for the vserver kernel
patch, at http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/project/ . But i urge you to
reconsider your problem, because I don't want a newbie on my conscience
(kernel patching is a dangerous sport for beginners)

Can't install Linux from CD on a VIA EPIA ME6000 Mini-ITX board!

I would certainly expect it to, yes. I've never tried, though.
 

The great advantage of VIA CPUs is their low operating current and
consequently low heat emission. They suffer a little in some benchmarks
comparing them with similarly-clocked Pentium IIIs and Celerons because
their L2 cache is only 64k. They're nevertleless excellent for small server
applications that need to run 24/7 without costing too much or overheating
the room, and for domestic appliance applications (DVD players, PVRs, MP3
servers) where quiet operation is important.
 

I've not used either (just SuSE, Fedora and Gentoo), but my impression is
also that Debian is not quite as easy as the "consumer" distros like SuSE
and Mandrake. I mentioned Debian to the OP because I know it can be had in
a generic x86 build (though a 586 build should work on his ME6000 too).

Hello,

I'm Ahmed (Xtreme) and i send this mail to give a new suggestion for the next version of OpenOffice which is let the OpenOffice to be work on the different environments.


i'm offer to make a 3 things:

Portable version: which will let OpenOffice to be portal and can be run from any USB so that i can get it with me anywhere to be able to use it on any PC. Also all the settings you make are saved.

PE plugin: Which will let OpenOffice to be used on PE systems. As PE can be put on CD/DVD or USB Flash so that you will have a complete run OS that is portable and can be used any where so that the OpenOffice will gain this advantage and will be a Portable Office which mean that my office in my hand and i can use it to wirte whatever i need when i want at any PC which other companies give it to there users.

- for more info. about PE check below section.
=====================================

Introduction:
Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.

It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!
More about Bart's PE here -> http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

I'm working on making and developing a plugin for PE field and i really made a lot of plugins like
- Windows Media Center Edition.
- Media Portal.
- ACE Mega Codec.
- K-Lite Mega Codec.
- Windows Media Player (WMP 11).
- Winamp.
- Windows Tablet PC (BETA).
and more but those are the most popular and the only plugins in the world.
=====================================

Unattended Installation: Which will let OpenOffice to be able to integrate with windows installation so that you don't need to install it every time you install windows (i.e. OpenOffice will be installed automatically like Microsoft Windows Media Player).


Now let's talk about purpose of any program.
Any one or company make a program he have one purpose which is spread this program and dominate on the field which program support.

Support the program with a lot of options.
Make a friendly GUI for users.
Make a commercials for the program.
Give the users ability to try the program for free.

The first two points are back to developers team and the 3rd one back to Sales or Marketing team.


Let's answer you question Can you tell me what benefit it would provide?


Allow to program to work on another platform which is Preinstalled Environment (PE) that sure beside normal windows platform which is enhanced and become more easier by adding unattended version.
By being portable i will be able to use it anywhere on any PC but what if this PC have a password on it and i can't access it to use my portable OpenOffice. It is not a problem, all you need is just restart this PC and run it from your PE system and write whatever you wanna using your office.
let's take an example: if you have PE system and your portable version of OpenOffice on your USB. All you need is to plug you USB to PC then

Run your Office if the PC is not protected by any passwords.
Or

Reboot this PC and boot from your PE System so and write what you wanna and enjoy with the PC to do anything you wanna with it.
Thus this will satisfy the first point i said before.


3. By adding an option in the GUI or add the PE plugin under OpenOffice Start Menu Program this will satisfy the 2nd point which allow users to get they work fast and easy.
4. Get a free ads for the program in the PE Forums also in the software website as the first program of its kind that have PE plugin which will be really new.



The only thing that i wanna is to join the OpenOffice Developer Team and sure i will keep supporting all of these 3 things as any member in the team.

Keep in mind (KIM) as the Greek philosopher Aristo said "One of the most successful secrets in the world is doing something that others don't".

That is all. Hope to be useful to you.
I will be waiting for your reply (in both cases).

Regards,

If it reports that you can only modify files then you have sucessfully

Microsoft Word - Footer shifts off page when the page size is changed

Footer shifts off page when the page size is changed

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:13 PM PDT

Sorry I realize this is probably a really easy fix, but I just can't figure it out. 

 

Our company uses a standard footer on word documents (this is new) and the template they sent out uses A4 paper.  When I change the paper size to Letter 8.5x11 the footer shifts off the page.  How do I get it to keep the footer at the bottom of the page?  I tried changing the paper size to legal and it moved the footer to about 2 inches from the bottom of the page on that one.

 

Thank you.

Problems with "draw table" in Word 2013: can't enter text into some cells

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:03 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2013 on an HP 2000 laptop with Windows 8.  I'm creating a document with a 5 column, 10 row table, which I started by using "Insert Table."  In the first row, I put my column headings.  So far I've had no problem entering data into any of the cells.

Today, however,  I decided to create an additional column heading row for each page to make the doc more readable.  I used "draw table" to add an additional row of 5 cells.  It's not separated; essentially I now have on each page a table of 5 columns and 2-3 rows, the top row intended for the headings.

However, I can only enter text into the fourth cell!  Why?

I also cannot delete the row, only the 4th cell, or even highlight the whole row.  When I do highlight that cell and click "backspace", the entire 4th column goes away (not surprisingly).  

How do I a) enter a row in a way that will not screw up the whole table and will allow me to write in each cell or b) fix the row I just added so that it will let me enter text?

thanks for any hints!

When I add a table cell, existing text forgets its paragraph styles! help

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I am trying to compare two tables of contents side by side.  I am formatting the tables of contents so that I can easily see the header levels and then line up chapter 2 with chapter 2 and section 2.1 with section 2.1, and so forth.  I've been applying styles to each header level (my own styles - not any existing styles).  Every time I add some cells, my text forgets the styles that I applied and becomes another style.  What is going on?
I have turned off autoformat tables.  I have made sure that the default document font matches the Normal paragraph font.  

Why is the *cell* retaining the paragraph style instead of the *text*?  I want to apply the style to that *text* - for example, I want Chapter 2 Houses to always be my style "tc1" no matter what cell it ends up in.  

How can I get my text to keep its paragraph style even when I add cells to my table?

thank you

Upgrade to 2013 Pro: Word/Excel will Not Start

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 11:47 AM PDT

PROBLEM:

 

1.  After upgrading Microsoft Office 2010 to Microsoft Office 2013 Professional the programs will not start.  The Word and/or Excel splash screen appears with the automatic graphic "Starting" and active ".'s" running across the screen.  No further spawning of either program. 

 

Prior to upgrading to 2013, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional would intermittently hang at the splash screen.  The resolution was to perform a Control Panel/Programs and Featurses Repair of Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. 

 

Since upgrading yesterday and working successfully with 2013, this morning only the splasm screen appears.  Since I have seen this problem with 2010 I performed a network repair.  At the conclusion of the network repair I attempted to spawn or execute either Word or Excel and so far only the splash screen appears.

 

ASSISTANCE REQUESTED - Please Help.

 

Thank You,

Cannot open Word email attachments

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 10:30 AM PDT

Recently I am unable to open Word email attachments.  Here are the details:

  • When I try to open a Word attachment, I get an error message that says "Word experienced an error trying to open the file. ..."
  • I visited article 2387587 which discusses this problem.  In the solution, it is shown how to set Default Authentication Level to Connect and Default Impersonation Level to Identify.  However, these were already set properly on my computer.  Even after reapplying these settings, I am still unable to open Word attachments.
  • I cannot open a Word attachment neither directly from the email nor after saving it first on my hard drive.
  • It is the same problem whether trying to open the attachment from Outlook 2010 or from my web-based Gmail account.
  • I have the problem even with old email attachments that had previously been opened successfully.
  • Word attachments are displayed okay in Outlook preview and in Google documents view, but trying to open or save them from these places also gives the same problem.
  • I am able to open Excel attachments without a problem.
  • My operating system is Windows Home Premium, 32-bit.

Can anyone identify the source of this problem and tell me how to solve it?  Thanks.

Tables in a Word 2007 Fillable form

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 08:26 AM PDT

I am creating a fillable form in Word 2007. I have added tables with text form fields in each cell. I am aware that in a normal Word document, you are able to create a new row in a table just by tabbing cell to cell. Is it possible to create a table that does this with text form fields automatically in each new cell when editing is restricted to only filling in forms?

Creating a custom Word document view based on a user's selection

No one user has to complete all the sections on the document but I want to be able to create one document with all the content, but then the user only see's what they need based on the information they select about their role.

Is there a way so the Edit Hyperlink box always opens on the 'Place in This Document' section?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:47 AM PDT

This is admittedly a fiddly question. 

I have a document where I need to change a large number of external hyperlinks so they point to other pages in the document.

Whenever I right click on a hyperlink and then select 'Edit Hyperlink' in the box that appears it always opens on the 'Link To: Existing Webpage' sub-window.  Is there a way to set things so 'Edit Hyperlink' always opens on 'Place Within This Document' instead? 

Doesn't seem like much, but I'm wondering if I can save myself a ton of little clicks over the long run.

Is there a way to only search a document for *external* hyperlinks?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:40 AM PDT

I know how to search a document for hyperlinks using the 'Find Style' option in the Find and Replace box.  However, this only lets you search for all hyperlinks.

What I need to do is find a handful of hyperlinks pointing to external websites in a sea of hyperlinks linking internally to other pages within the document.

Is there a way to search for specific sub-types of hyperlinks?

Spaces between words in Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:29 AM PDT

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010.

When I type text, the spaces between the words are much bigger than they used to be. I've tried everything I can think of to try and fix it. I've been using the same font (Cambria) for nearly ten years now, and this has happened for the first time today.

How can I change the space size back to how it was (and has been for the last decade)? This is a really frustrating problem and I can't find a suitable answer anywhere on the internet.

Please note: I'm not talking about characters, ie. Individual letters and numbers. I'm referring to the spaces created when you press the space bar.

Things I've tried: made sure the text is left justified. Turning on the hidden formatting symbols to check whether I was somehow putting two spaces instead of one between words (I wasn't).

I'd be massively grateful to anyone who could help. I know it's only a minor thing, but minor things do tend to be the most annoying!

Thanks very much for your time

How to avoid new paragraph style over-riding paragraph indent

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 05:50 AM PDT

I am writing a document in which most paragraphs are left aligned but some are indented by 0.9cm so as to align with the text of a bulleted list (since they provide more info on the the bullet list item above them). I created a style called "Normal,UM Body Text" based on "no style" for the majority of paragraphs. Then I created a style for the indented paragraphs called "UM body indented to align with bullet text" based on "Normal" to indent the required paragraphs by 0.9 cm.

 

So far so good.

 

But there's also a requirement to have certain paragraphs beginning "Note:" in a different style - blue text, smaller font (10pt instead of 11pt) and closer line spacing (single line instead of x 1.2 lines). But these changes could equally well have to apply to a normal (left-aligned) paragraph and the indented ones.

 

How can I set up a style to do that - to over-ride font colour, font size and line spacing but NOT to over-ride paragraph indent? My attempts so far have resulted in a style that over-rides the paragraph indent to make it either left-aligned or 0.9cm indent (depending on whether I base it on  "Normal,UM Body Text" or "UM body indented to align with bullet text"). Basing it on "no style" is even worse as it over-rides the 8pt after-paragraph space I've set up in my styles with the default 10pt one.

 

Hoping someone on here can help.

Protecting paragraphs of text in a template

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 02:13 AM PDT

I have a Word 2010 template where some paragraphs cannot be edited by the user.

For the protected paragraphs, I have implemented the text in a content control and have ticked the 'content control cannot be deleted' and 'contents cannot be edited' properties.  This works well and achieves what I want but there is nothing to stop the user accessing the content control's properties and unticking the options making the paragraphs editable again.

I have also tried using the Restrict Editing option selecting the No changes option and then selecting the text the users are allowed to edit as exceptions.  However, my users don't like the yellow highlighting of the text that they are allowed to edit.

So I have three questions:

1.  Is it possible to protect the properties of content controls so that users can't edit them?
2.  Is it possible to use the Restrict Editing option without having the editable text highlighted?  I know the users can untick the 'highlight the regions I can edit' option but you have to do that every time you open the document.
3.  Are there any other ways of achieving my goal of a template containing mostly text that can be edited but also containing text that cannot be edited?

TIA

Māori macrons in Word 2007

Stop Read Only on Word Protected Form

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:25 PM PDT

I have created a template in word which is a protected document, based on the "Fill in Forms" level of protection.

 

All works well, and each individual can open the template fill it in and then save it no problem.

 

The error arises however when a different user opens a document filled in and saved by somebody else it will only open as "read only".

 

How can I get around this issue so that anybody can open the forms that have been previously filled out and edit the data (obviously only the data in the form fields) and re-save the document without the need for save as and a different file name?

 

Many thanks!

In Word 2010 cursor jumps around mixed with downloading icon

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:23 PM PDT

My problem only occurs when using Word 2010.  Using Windows 7 & OFFICE Home & Student 2010.

 

It is hard to describe.  My cursor has gone "mad".  It is rapidly flashing while at the same time as what appears to be the downloading blue circular icon is rapidly flashing over the cursor.  I can, with some difficulty, still do most things, but the double flashing icon is always flashing.  I can move it to an icon on the ribbon & click what I want & it does it for me e.g. I can use mouse to highlight some words & then go to the B icon toolbar & click & the words become "bold".

 

I can use "enter" to get a new line, but the cursor does not show, but when I type a character it shows where I expected it to be.   This all very disconcerting & I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.  I don't have any problem in Excel.

I can use "enter" to get a new line, but the cursor does not show, but when I type a character it shows where I expected it to be.   This all very disconcerting & I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.  I don't have any problem in Excel.

why can't I get office word to open?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 04:40 PM PDT

When I try to get into office word a box comes up telling me it doesn't recognize my email / password. Yet I can sign in to Microsoft. This is a fairly new computer with windows 8 ( which I am very unhappy with). It shows that word is on this computer. Do I still have to do something to get it to work. This is my first time attempting to use. I have documents in skydrive that I need to edit but it will not allow me too.

 

thanks

How to delete unneeded page?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 03:25 PM PDT

Word 2010.  I have a letter which has a header & footer.  As I was typing the letter a second page was created with the header & footer used on the first page.  I do not need the second page & it is blank except for the header & footer.  How can I get rid of this second page but keep the first?

Suppress the data source dialog in a Saved Word Mail Merge Document

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 02:51 PM PDT

In VBA from within an Access database, I've automated the creation of  a Mail Merge document from a Word template. We're getting the Word document produced fine, with no dialogs popping up.

 

However, when a user returns later to reopen the document, they getting the security dialog informing them that they will launch a query to retrieve data from the original source. Clicking either "yes" or "no" sends the user on to the previously created document with the proper values in the merge fields.

 

I must  suppress that dialog. It's a deal-breaker for the client.

 

What options are available?

How can I turn off the Review function?

I'm the only one using Word, so I don't need or want it.  I want Review Markups turned of completely and forever.

Need Permission from Administrator on My Own Computer??????????

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 02:26 PM PDT

Just got new laptop with Windows 8. So far I hate Windows 8. I restored files from Mozy onto new laptop and now every document I try to open is in Read-Only mode and I can't save them even as new documents because I (the only person using the computer) don't have permission from the administrator. Is there a way around this? Can I stop all these ridiculous administrator messages from appearing and just give myself permission to do whatever I want on my own computer? I tried to right click on the documents folder and click properties and uncheck read-only but it doesn't work, probably also because of administrator ****.

Converting WP docs to Office 2010

How do I convert Word Perfect documents generated on a Dell 2002 with XP to a Gateway 2012 Win8 with Office 2010 Professional?

How can I create a template where I can tab to various lines without the words moving?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:58 PM PDT

I have a template that my boss sent me for a technical document. It's 3 pages long and 90% of the text doesn't change from project to project. However, there are about 20 places in the document that can vary and many of these areas are embedded in a sentence.  He has it setup where I can select from a dropdown box which is great. Right now to get to the next box or line I scroll down then click on the box and make the appropriate choice.

While that's easy I'd like to be more efficient. Is there a way to set a tab so that I can just press the tab button and have it go to the next box? I'd even be happy if it just tabbed to the next line where I need to make a selection if I couldn't get it to tab to the exact position in the document.

Thank you very much.

search for a lost word document

How do I search inside several documents in 2010 without opening each one?

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:30 PM PDT

In Word 2003 I could set on a folder and search for something within all the documents inside the folder without having to open the folder and then open each document to look for what I wanted.  I have been unable to search that way in Word 2010. 

 

    For example:   I want to find how many letters were sent to Al Jones within the 2013 Letters folder.  I need to find all and write down the dates so as to send yet another letter - there are 100 letters in this folder.  How do I set on the folder and have the system search for all the Al Jones letters?

 

I have been looking for several months within different Communities for help but have yet to find anything.  Is there anyone who has found an answer?

 

Thank you.

Date Picker in MS 07

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I have two Date pickers on the same line set up as "Date Picker  thru  Date Picker" on five different lines. When I choose either date picker the format changes causing the characters to shift. Can I freeze the date picker so when it does reflect and actual date, the rest of the data wont auto adjust
