| How can I get the "Find" function to return matching content in MS Equation Editor Objects? Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:31 PM PDT In past versions of word, performing a search for a string of characters using the "Find" function would also return instances located in Equation Editor Objects. Is this fuctionality still available, and if so, how can I enable it?
Thank you,

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:25 PM PDT For some inexplicable reason the standard Word dictionary keeps defaulting to US English. I want it in Canadian English and have both selected it and made it the default at least three dozen times but it never sticks. Seemingly at random it reverts back to US English, telling me that all my correctly spelled Canadian words (with the U's in them - like colour instead of color) are incorrect. It just did it 5 times in under a minute. How the heck do I get it to stop this? Or at least delete the US dictionary so it has nothing to revert back to? It's extremely frustrating. I've even turned off spell-check entirely several times only for it to reactive itself. |

| How to wrap custom number format in table cells? Posted: 31 Jul 2013 01:27 PM PDT Is there a way to get a custom list format to wrap in a table cell? In the image below, my text is cut off in the first column. I would like the text to wrap like the second table in the image.  |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:51 PM PDT It's like all the text is stuck to the left margin. I can add a tab to the first line, and adding numbering to the paragraph will make it a block the way I want it. But outside of that, nothing! It won't respond to changes in the ruler, it won't respond to changes in the paragraph dialog box...nothing. It's really frustrating. Any ideas? |
| Creating a drop down list with option to add to list Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:26 PM PDT I'm creating a drop down list in Word 2007.

| Microsoft Word email merge to Outlook - Add reminder to Calendar option?? Posted: 31 Jul 2013 12:23 PM PDT I do email merges through Microsoft Word 2010 and the documents are the same for all recipients, it is just the merge fields (name, etc.) that change. I would like to know if there is a way to add an option that a flag or reminder will be added to the recipients calendar. The reminder/action date would be the same for all recipients.
Any ideas would be appreciated. |

| Word 2003 is not working properly, but I cannot repair Office 11 because file PRO11N.msi is missing. Posted: 31 Jul 2013 09:24 AM PDT Word 2003 doesn't work propoerly in several minor ways, but an important problem is that it will not reproduce text included in a template in a document based on that template. When I try to repair Office11, the process fails because PRO11N.msi is not available. The original installation was of the Small Business Edition, but I upgraded. In any case, the SBE version of PRO11 is missing. How can I overcome this? |

| Copying headers and footers between docs programmatically Posted: 31 Jul 2013 08:43 AM PDT Hi all, I have inherited a macro that copies the headers and footers between documents (this is done as our company is multi-site and sometimes a file gets assigned to another office and they want to take an existing doc and "swap" in programmatically the headers/footers for the new office). Here are the details: - different first page header/footer from the rest of the doc so the macro fires and here is framework of the code: - open up a blank doc using the template for the new location (e.g. "Halifax_LtrHd.dot") as a new doc; this will be the "source" for the header/footer info - switch back and forth between the "original" doc and the new doc copying the headers/footers The previous guy just recorded the macro. I am slimming it down and trying to make it more bullet proof. The question: I found that the "source" document needs to have a section break added to the bottom of it in order to "reveal" the header and footer for the 2nd page onward. Same goes for the "target" document - if it does not have more than one page, I have to go to the bottom and add a section break to force a second page. So is there any other way to get to this "data" without "brute force" copying and pasting. The code now looks something like this: ' change to the new document to pick up the header info from the new doc Application.Documents(lcNewDoc).Activate ' open up the header ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader ' select the whole "story" i.e. everything in the header and copy it Selection.WholeStory Selection.Copy ' activate the original document and open it's header Application.Documents(lcOriginalDoc).Activate ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader ' select that entire header (to paste over); this seems to add one paragraph marker so delete that With Selection .WholeStory .PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault) .Delete (wdCharacter) End With This is what I would call ``brute force`` programming - basically doing what the person would do manually. It uses the Selection object to move stuff around. Is there a way to get at the header/footer data without doing this - perhaps through some other objects? Thanks, Albert Gostick |

| Word 2010 to Web hyperlinks post to wrong locations Posted: 31 Jul 2013 08:18 AM PDT When I look at my HTML page in WORD 2010 all hyperlinks are properly addressing their links, but when I post and go to the web page online they are shifted. Some hyperlinks are inserted several times in a row. Some headings on the page that should not be links now link to one of my links. They are scrambled. I reopen the HTML page in WORD and all still looks good? |

| The Red wavy lines that highlight spelling errors disappear with out the word being corrected. Posted: 31 Jul 2013 07:23 AM PDT Hi all I am having trouble with Word,
When i am typing in a word document and i make a spelling error the word is underlined with a red wavy line as i would expect.
However if i right click and correct the error on the face of the document any other errors highlighted now have thier wavy lines removed so i am unable to see where my errors are with out preforming a full spell check,
Does anyone know if there is any way to stop this happening ?
I have tried looking on the web but i am yet to find anything that relates to my problem

| Create a style (for table) to have the first column at right but first cell at left Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:38 AM PDT Hi all ! I try to create a new Word model (.dot) in order to have a default table style with : the first column at right but first cell at left That's works fine when I do it to Word 2003 but when I do the same on Word 2010 all the first column have the same style. I can't have something different to align the first left cell. (But I can have a different color for this one... or that's works when Normal text style is align at the left). I think there is a bug but maybe there is a tip ? Thanks for your help P.S : I made a screenshot : http://hpics.li/b5a391f The doc file is here : http://uptobox.com/cwqvrhnyvjoc Like you will see on the picture (on top), the content of the white table is unfortunately at the left side when "Normal / Standard" style is "Justify". But the align on the right works when I put the Normal style on left. But I wan't both Normal style with justify and tab at right. I don't know how to do with 2010 :-/ |

| Combine differently formatted Word files preserving layout Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:42 AM PDT Title says it. A tall order, I know. Is it even possible? Been trying a few convoluted methods and gotten close but not quite. One way that almost works is using a macro to open each component file, add a section break at the end, store its margins, close it, and then use Selection.InsertFile to add it to the blob and reapply its margins. This kinda works except the header/footer content and properties (alternation, etc.) persist from the prior document in the stack despite setting LinkToPrevious to False.
Obviously this is a major (maybe foolish?) exercise and I'm not done experimenting, but has anyone else attempted this in earnest & come out with any lessons (including 'forget it!')? And yes, I know the One True Answer is probably PDFing but I'm not actually the one who dreamed up this quest, the goal of which is to have a mega-document that's relatively easier to edit or comment than a PDF would be.
I do notice I get different results from setting the Link arg to True or False. Linking, which seems preferable to keep the file size down, blanks out all headers & footers after the first doc regardless of other gyrations.
Code is below. Any clues appreciated.

| Word & Excel (2010) 'stopped working' on windows 8 Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:40 AM PDT Hi, I hope someone can help me please. I've just returned from holiday and am trying to write a very important letter (always the way isn't it) so I haven't used my laptop in 2 weeks. I turned it on like normal, it didn't do any updates or anything different from when I normally turn it on but when I went to open my letter to finish it, I got an error message saying 'Microsoft Word has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.' I haven't been notified of any solution, when I click 'close program' it closes and that's that! I've tried re-opening it and once I've done that a couple of times when I've opened it again I get a message saying 'Word failed to start correctly last time. Starting Word in safe mode will help you correct or isolate a startup problem in order to successfully start the program. Some functionality may be disabled in this mode. Do you want to start Word in safe mode?' If I click yes, Word opens but is grey and then I get the 'Microsoft Word has stopped working' error message again. When I googled the error message I got similar sorts of posts but most were able to start in safe mode and talked about 'add-ons' (have no idea what they are! Because of those posts I tried to open Excel and I'm getting exactly the same thing. Before I went on holiday my laptop didn't do any updates for a few days either and and both Word and Excel worked fine the day I left. Can anyone help me please? Thank you in advance |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 03:46 AM PDT I finally updated to Microsoft 365 but find that when I send the copy with the mark up for the client to check through the mark up can only be found by: clicking 'Enable Editing', opening the review section, clicking on the drop down menu beside 'Simple markup' and selecting 'All markup'. This is a lot to explain to clients who aren't computer heads but still want to check through the changes on a short piece. Is this a problem for anyone else? Is there a simple solution? Is Microsoft word 2013 any better for this? |

| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:33 AM PDT Hi, I've been getting constant non responding error in word. Every time I save, open or even sometimes when just switching to the program from another program. cant run the 'fix it' program as my current configuration doesn't allow it! I'm running a couple of month old new laptop with windows 8 and only a few internet explorer tabs open. I really need this fixed as it has lost about 1200 words of college work that I cant really afford to be loosing! :'-( Is there any way I can get the free upgrade to office 2013? I bought my version of word within the qualifying upgrade window but never found out how it was redeemable at the time, I have since learned that this offer has ended but can I still redeem it somehow? I'm grateful for any help, Thanks Nick |
| Header and Footer error - only showing on page entered Posted: 31 Jul 2013 02:07 AM PDT Hi All,
Probably a setting I have missed but headers and footers are only showing on the page I enter them. Selecting the button for different on page one works.
I have tried double clicking the header and selection header from the Insert tab, neither make a difference.
Whats am I doing wrong? In office 2010 it works fine |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2013 01:02 AM PDT Hello,
I am creating one page Word template and I am inserting page x of y in the footer. However if anyone goes more than one page after filling up the template I do not want to read it as page 1 of 1, page 2 of 2. Is there any way when anyone completes my template the final page number will commence from the first page e.g. Page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, 3 of 3.
Thank you.... |
| DOUBLE-ARROWS INSTEAD OF QUOTATION MARKS Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:28 PM PDT Word gives me double-arrows instead of quotation marks. How can I fix this? I am running MAC OSX 10.7.5 and MS Word 2011 for MAC, 14.3. 6. I have selected the box in the "preferences" which elects "smart quotation marks," but when I hit the quotation mark key (shift '), I get the double-arrow instead (>>, except the two arrows are one character, nestled up together). I am using Times New Roman font. I can't find that character anywhere, let alone find out how to turn it off. Any ideas? |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2013 07:21 PM PDT In a Word 2007 doc (running on, gasp, Vista), I have set a border to go around a certain paragraph style. This works fine for text, bold, etc, but if I try to indet paragraphs, use bullet points or numbering, etc, it "breaks" the border. If I define a new style based on the original paragraph, same thing. How do I turn off this annoying "feature"? Thanks in advance for your help. |
| Attempting to print, save as window comes on, only choice is PDF Posted: 30 Jul 2013 05:22 PM PDT Working on a word document, I am ready to print and I press the print button and a window comes on asking me to save the document.

| Word 2007 Contstant "Save As" Box keeps prompting and won't go away Posted: 30 Jul 2013 03:56 PM PDT Last night after about an hour working on a document a "Save As" box kept prompting and even if I click okay it comes right back. If I hit cancel it comes right back. If I save as a new document it is okay for a few minutes and then the same thing will happen again. Even if I open a new blank document the box pops up before I can even type anything. Essentially the save as box has hijacked all of Microsoft Word rendering it useless. I had already disabled the auto background save option in settings as well. I have a pretty serious paper due in a few days that is worth my entire course grade and am beginning to freak out since I can no longer work on it or anything else pertaining to it. Also I have Windows XP if that means anything and my updates are current. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? |
