Difficulty importing WordPerfect document containing watermark Posted: 29 Jul 2013 02:45 PM PDT I have a simple WordPerfect document that contains a watermark. When I import this into Word 2013 the watermark does not appear; I have not been able to make the image appear in any view or by inspecting the header. I then save the result as a .docx and start looking in the archive. The image is stored in the media folder as image1.wmf. word\_rels\header1.xml.rels looks correct: <Relationships xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships"> <Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" Target="media/image1.wmf"/> </Relationships> word\header1.xml refers to the image: <?xml version="1.0"

Autosaved document saved over my file??? Posted: 29 Jul 2013 01:45 PM PDT I was working on a ten page document off my flashdrive, and completed it... However, upon exiting the document (which was saved in it's entirety) I realized that there was another "autosaved" version of the document open as well, but this autosaved file was only up to page three. When I exited the document, I hit "save changes" thinking that this would just allow the autosaved document to apply any changes it had recovered to the finished, already saved, same document. However, the autosaved version completely saved over my document, so now my 10 page document that was saved is replaced by the autosaved document that only went up until page three... Is there anything I can do to restore the document to where it was saved before the autosave document was saved over it? I already tried going to recent versions and there's nothing there... Please help! I really don't want to have to rewrite seven pages... |
"Don't Add Space Between Paragraphs of the Same Style"-Driving Me Crazy! MS Office 365 Home Premium Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:44 AM PDT I have MS Office 365 Home Premium and the "Don't Add Space Between Paragraphs of the Same Style" function is ridiculous. I constantly have to re-select it when I am typing. I have tried making it be the default function, but to no avail. Is there a way to make this function box stay checked the entire time? If it matters, I use Skydrive. Thank you so much! Jed |
Hyperlinks work in Word but are not created in pdf Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:26 AM PDT I am trying to create hyperlinks between files in the same folder (same level). The links work fine in Word but when I Save As PDF or Create PDF from ribbon, nothing shows up in the pdf. I am using Windows 7 on a PC, MS Office Pro Plus 2010 (Version 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit) and Adobe Acrobat X (Version 10.1.1). I am not printing to pdf but saving to pdf. In the file I'm linking to I created a bookmark. In the file that I want the hyperlink I created one to the bookmark. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone advise? Thanks! |
arrow button gets confused at end of page in hebrew Posted: 29 Jul 2013 10:29 AM PDT Very simple problem: I have a page of hebrew text (which goes from right to left). I am going along the line with the left-arrow (this is going forward in Hebrew). When I reach the end of the page, instead of going to the next page, where the text continues, the cursor starts jumping from the end of the line back one character, then forward to the end of the line again, then back again, ad infinitum. |
WORD 2007 Posted: 29 Jul 2013 09:41 AM PDT I'M WRITING WRONG WORDS IN "WORD 2007"AND THE SPELL CHECKER IS NOT SHOWING THAT THEY ARE WRONG WHEN I CLICK THE BUTTON. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS? THANKS |
Office won't open hyperlinks in default browser Posted: 29 Jul 2013 09:15 AM PDT There is a problem with the way MS Office applications (Word and OneNote, for example, but NOT Outlook) open hyperlinks. Instead of simply opening the link in the default browser, Office tries to pre-load the links in the background using Internet Explorer. My internet access at work goes through a proxy, and IE is not set up to use the proxy, and is not supported. So the pre-load attempt by Office fails, and it just shows the error: "Unable to open <hyperlink>. Cannot download the information you requested." Is there any way at all to turn off this behavior? |
Can I create a drop down box to change the address in the header? Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:55 AM PDT The business I work for has a number of locations and in an effort to create more uniformity, I've been asked to share my templates with the rest of the company via our intranet. However, they all have our branch address/phone in the header. Is there a way to make it easy to change that address/phone for people in other offices so they don't have to type in their info each time? Most of the templates are in Word 2007 but I also have a couple in Excel 2007. |
Why can't I delete Microsoft Office from my labtop? Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:48 AM PDT Hello, Maybe, it sounds a little bit weird but I can not delete Office from my computer.

Uninstallation is stuck at 2nd step(there are four step at all). I have waited for 4 hours but it didn't help! Please, can anybody tell me what I should do? Thanks! |
How can I edit the custom toolbars in Word 2007 Posted: 29 Jul 2013 08:47 AM PDT A previous employee figured out (without documenting how) how to load up old Word 2003 custom toolbars into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Trouble is, some of the macros on the toolbars are now obsolete and need to be removed. I cannot seem to be able to find any place where I can edit them. I currently have 2007 installed but have a license for 2010 if that makes it easier. Thanks, Albert Gostick |
Sharing Quick Parts Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:55 AM PDT I am creating a Word Document that will utilize building blocks for the insertion of boilerplate language. This document needs to be used and accessed by multiple users in different offices. Is there a way for the building blocks/quick parts for this document to be housed in one location and shared amongst the other users? Then if any additions/changes need made to the building blocks/quick parts they are updated for all users? |

Macros, building blocks, or quick parts? Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:15 AM PDT I am a former Word Perfect power user. I made the switch to Word 2010 about a year ago. I relied heavily on Word Perfect macros to perform many tasks from creating form letters and asking me to insert specific text to customize the form to simply inserting a signature block. I have figured out the basics of Word, but am struggling (among other Word/Word Perfect adjustments) with trying to determine whether Word has any type of equivalent to Word Perfect macros. For example, I previously had a macro that would insert letterhead, adjust the top margin of the first page and replace the date code of the letter with date text that would not change when I finalized a letter simply by clicking 2 keystrokes. Can someone point me in the best direction for an equivalent in Word, if such exists? Thank you for your help. |

VBScript to change color indicators in a word document Posted: 29 Jul 2013 07:00 AM PDT Hello, I have created a Project Status Report for work. Attached is the prototype: I will be using this template to populate data from an excel sheet using Mail Merge. I have indicators for different areas which need to be Green, Red and Yellow as per the respective project's health. So, the excel sheet will have G, R, and Y, respectively to populate the current status. I will be needing a macro to check if the text reads G, R or Y and fill the circle with the corresponding color. Kindly suggest how to go about it. Thanks in advance Raunaq |

Trouble with formulas in Tables - Microsoft Word 2013 - after installing updates released on 13th of July, 2013 Posted: 29 Jul 2013 01:56 AM PDT Hi, I currently use a Microsoft Word template for my invoices and have noticed problems with formulas in Microsoft Word 2013 since installing updates on the 13th of July, 2013. In my Word Template I have a table that contains columns for quantity, unit price and totals. The formulas are formatted for my currency with 2 decimals. My problem is when I enter an amount of 1 in the quantity column and 100.00 in the unit price column, the total displays as R 1.00. Please give me advice on how to solve this problem? Kind Regards, Arthur Durand |
Translation software slows Word Posted: 28 Jul 2013 11:55 PM PDT Well here is it: Recently I just installed a translator software on my PC( win 7 64bit Ultimate) and it is embedded with the function of screen-capturing translation. But whenever I opened the Word, the computer would suddenly become so slow and eventually lead to a collapse. ( sometimes I cannot open task manager smoothly and my only choice would be to LOG OFF) So my way of tackling this is to run the word file sandboxed. And it goes very well up to now. I am just curious and want to know why the problem exists? You can give me reasonable conjectures and I appreciate that , Cheers. |
How can I remove an unwanted page break? Posted: 28 Jul 2013 06:30 PM PDT In an all-text document, there is an unwanted page break that shows up in Draft. I have checked values for before and after paragraphs and they are at 0. When I try to move the text from the next page to the proper place, it re-formats into bold and the page break remains under what I have moved. Formatting marks don't reveal anything unusual. Also, is there a quick key to display formatting marks? Thanks. |

Zoom in Word 2010 Printing Posted: 28 Jul 2013 06:01 PM PDT I'm having trouble printing my pages to scale. This is at my work on a shared network and only my laptop seems to have this problem, other people linked to the printer aren't experiencing this. If I save a document to a shared/common folder, others can print it out as normal, so must be something with how Word 2010 is formatting on my laptop. When I am working in a document, I have clicked on 100% scale under the View Tab, it all looks ok on the screen But when I click on Print, the Zoom on the slide bar is at 70%....while the document preview still 'appears' full screen. If I slide the zoom up to 100%, the page becomes 'oversized' and I can't see all the document, so when I print I lose the right edge and bottom off my document. I have basic settings for printing - A4 paper size, custom margins, 1 page per sheet. I have seen people discussing zoom in other posts and answers have been around macros, but I have never been that advanced with formatting manipulation, so if there's a simpler way to do it would be helpful. If using auto macros is the only way to go, clear instructions for a noob would be great! ;) Thanks for your help! Kris |
Disable table font resize function when printing Posted: 28 Jul 2013 04:53 PM PDT Using Word 2007, my table automatically prints at a reduced font size. It looks normal on the screen and in print view. I have disabled "automatically resize to fit contents" in table options but no change. This is driving me crazy as I have a major paper due in 2 days and the formatting requirements necessitate that I control my font size. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Thankyou! :-) |
normal.dot error when saving and closing a Word 2010 doc Posted: 28 Jul 2013 04:09 PM PDT When I save a particular file, MS Word asks if I also want to save changes to the document template. I say no. When I then close this particular file, MS Word asks if I want to save changes to NORMAL.DOT. This does not happen with other documents. I didn't do anything unusual in this document, and do not wish to mess with the normal.dot. Also the normal.dot file recently appeared in my Recent Docs list. How can I stop these error messages? Thank you! |
