| Problems Printing Mailing Labels Posted: 21 Aug 2013 02:27 PM PDT I have a client that's creating a fairly large document of mailing labels (100+ pages) using the mailing label facilities of Word 2010. When they attempt to print the document to a networked HP M3035 MFP printer the job will start printing, print several pages (page 1 to 10-15) - and then restart from the beginning. When it restarts it will print additional pages (pages 1 to 20 - 25) and then restart. I assumed it was because other users on the network may have been sending jobs to the HP and it (perhaps) had a memory overflow or something and was forced to restart. My client says that in the past, the mailing label job was never interrupted with another job - it just kept restarting and printing additional pages each time. The client has even tried printing after hours when no one else is sending jobs to the HP queue so job interruption doesn't appear to be the problem. This strange activity will happen on any workstation in the office when attempting to print the mailing labels job. They have since sent all of their mailing labels print jobs offsite (to a printer) because of the amount of labels wasted. Can anyone shed any light on this - or have you seen anything that resembles this problem with large (multi-page) jobs? I'd appreciate any insight in case the client wants to bring mail label printing back in-house. Russ |
| How can the "word-count" function be disabled in Word 2013 (now crashing for lack of intelligence as Japanese does not count well)? Posted: 21 Aug 2013 02:04 PM PDT With Word 2003 on XP, my million or so character doc file never crashed on me after I went to options and unchecked the embed linguistic something or other in "Save." With Word 2013 and Win7 ultimate, I am afraid I have constant trouble with the same word docx (I think an x was afdded after it was converted) overuse (up to 100%) of the cpu in my considerably bmore powerful Lenovo. I had to reduce the saves to once per 30 min rather than every 10 minutes and take great care with how I coordinate my use of the find and my editing etc not to cause a freeze and have to close/restart the program. My guess is that the word-count is a contributing factor because Japanese does not so easily divide into words as English and due to the lack of AI in Word (it has not come close to approaching the intelligence of Japanese writing software I used in the 90's!) I have had to make common clusters of words into "words" in the dictionary as well. and that could confuse it more. I searched and searched and googled and binged and can find no way to kill the word-count function (not display) of a document. Only characters would be so damn simple. When one does major research and writing projects with much taxing (categorizing and re-categorizing) involved, the doc must be kept in one-piece for constant finds and moving and adding and subtracting. One weird thing -- Though the doc has under 2000KB, Word starts work on it in the 10's of thousands and the working memory (I check the ctrl shift esc) has gotten as high as 450,000. It slowly builds over the course of my 18hr work=play days. Does Word have no regulator built-in???? Unless Microsoft can get my Word capable of working with a million character document, I must shop around for better software! Help! |

| Procedure entry point CharUppmrW could not be located Posted: 21 Aug 2013 01:27 PM PDT After months of working in Office 2013, suddenly (after switching from DSL to U-Verse - not sure if that's a coincidence) I can't open any of the Office apps. I get this msg: The procedure entry point CharUppmrW could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll.
I tried Quick Repair - it didn't work. I tried Online Repair and got this msg: We couldn't install Office. We're sorry. We ran into a problem while installing and couldn't continue. If another program is installing, please wait for it to finish and then click Retry.
There was no other program installing.

| having trouble printing on 5.5 x 8.5 note cards Posted: 21 Aug 2013 12:28 PM PDT I am trying to write thank you notes on 5.5 x 8.5 note cards. I have customized the size of the paper and am printing the text in the lower half of the card, but the margins are completely off. The printing is beginning 2" into the card. I don't know how to correct this. On the "home" view, it shows the card stock edge about an inch and half from where the normal edge of the paper would be if I were using 8.5x11 paper. |
| Print preview in word 2010 will not display documents when scrolling from portrait to landscape. Posted: 21 Aug 2013 11:30 AM PDT I have a document that contains both portrait and landscape orientation. When I click on file > print, and scroll through the pages in the preview mode, it will stop at the last portrait page and will not go to the next page, which is landscape. If I exit the preview mode and go to the landscape page in the regular editing mode, then go to file > print, it will start in landscape mode and will transistion to portrait with no problems. But it won't go back to landscape once I scroll to a portrait page. How can I get the print preview to view all the pages without having to close out of print preview, or switch the orientation just to vew the remaining pages? |
| printing merge labels onto a Avery 4013 continuous feed label will not print properly. Posted: 21 Aug 2013 11:06 AM PDT I am trying to print labels to apply to baggage tags. We never had issues with Word 2003 but changed to Word 2010. I followed the instruction on the help for merging to labels. I chose the label type - Avery 4013 continuous feed label for a dot matrix printer (Okidata 320 Turbo 9 Pin Printer). The label is 4.25 wide and 12 inches long. I chose the data source. I set up my merge fields. I complete the merge. Everything looks fine until I go to print. The print screen appears and the size of the label does not come over to the print screen. It sets up to print to a legal page. I tried to adjust the page size but there no correct size appears. I tried to do a customized size but it does not come over to the page size.
I tried printing but it is printing the labels like it is printing to a legal sized page and the label width seems to be taken as the left margin because the addresses are printing only partially on the right side of the label.
I called Okidata support. They have tried to solve this issue to no avail. They feel that it is a Word 2010 issue. Can anyone help me?
I also tried choosing this printer as the default. I downloaded the newest Okidata print driver also.
Thanks.

| Force narrow margins on all .doc files? Posted: 21 Aug 2013 10:23 AM PDT Hi, I'm trying to figure out a way to force margins to default to narrow (0.5") on every document opened. I found out how to set margin defaults, but that only affects newly created documents.
We use a web service for inventory management that spits out .doc forms that we open with Word 2007 and 2010. If these aren't set to narrow margins they display incorrectly. I need to figure out a way to avoid having to change the margins before printing every form.
I assume this probably involves using VB code or something, but I wouldn't know where to start. I dug through all the advanced settings and didn't see anything to solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

| Determine if image was pasted as metafile/enhanced metafile or other format? Posted: 21 Aug 2013 09:12 AM PDT Hi, When reviewing documents, to avoid large document files, it would be helpful to be able to determine how an image was pasted. Some people accidentally paste images as bitmaps while others use Paste Special->Windows metafile. Other than file size, is there a way to determine the format used when an image has been pasted into Word or Powerpoint? Thank you, Richard |
| How to make text cursor appear while typing in Word 2010? Posted: 21 Aug 2013 08:30 AM PDT I recently got Microsoft Office 2010 (coming from OpenOffice) and the only issue I have with it is that the text cursor disappears when I type, and reappears for a fraction of a second if I make even the slightest pause in typing. Every other program I have keeps the cursor visible while typing, and flashing while idle. Is there any way to change this in Word 2010?
The control panel "change cursor blink rate" settings do not solve my problem -- I want the cursor to blink, but I want it to stay solid when I type. It is driving me crazy. |

| record 1 contains too few data fields Posted: 21 Aug 2013 07:10 AM PDT I am setting up a WORD merge for a letter with data from an IBM System I using ODBC. I have 2 files (Tables) that contain data for the letter. The first file has only 1 record which has company information and the mailing address of the recipient. The second file has the other data I need to list on the letter. On the first part of the merge wizard I get a message that "record 1 contains too few data fields". It has a data definition and several fields, but only 1 record. What am I doing wrong? |
| Convert Several Word 2002 Macros to Office 2010 Macros Posted: 21 Aug 2013 06:45 AM PDT Hi All,
My office is upgrading from Office XP to Office 2010. We have a dozen different macros written for Office XP. They are all Word document. Each produces a different form. Some have only about a dozen fields to populate. Others have up to 100 different options.
These macros run great in Word XP but crash when run in 2010 with a variety of VB errors. All our users are running Windows 2007 with the latest service pack.
Is there an easy method to upgrade these macros to 2010 format, without having to learn enough VB programming to recode all of them? I have an MSDN subscription and one idea was to try a gradual upgrade - from Word XP to Word 2003, then Word 2007, then Word 2010 - just alot of testing VMs to set up...
Thank you,
Mike C.

| Word 2010: trapping small image to always stay between two particular words Posted: 21 Aug 2013 06:39 AM PDT I want to embed a small image of a GUI icon in the middle of a paragraph of text so that it always stays between two particular words regardless of how the text flow changes as this paragraph and all the others around it are edited. The end effect is to be like this: "To change the frequency of backups first enter the System Configuration screen by pressing the combination safe icon [ICON HERE] and then..." I overcame the first problem - that the icon is slightly taller than a line of text - by using the Edit Wrap Points feature (a new discovery!) to make the text avoidance area just a thin letterbox shape running across the middle of the image. But having solved that I still can't find a combination of text wrapping mode and image positioning mode that keeps the icon image trapped between those two words ("icon" and "and" in the above example) no matter what else happens within the document. Any suggestions, oh wise and experienced ones? Regards, Bruce Officer |

| Inserting quick table changes Heading 1 text Posted: 21 Aug 2013 01:52 AM PDT I have created a document template using word - this template has its own text styles. However an issue has arisen when going to insert a new table from the quick tables gallery (either one that I have saved or a built-in table). Once a table has been inserted, it changes the First level heading so that it appears stretched out over the entire page - it looks as if there are tabs between each letter. I've tried using paragraph marks and nothing changes, however the document prints as normal, and when saved and reopened the document appears normal. This is the text style as it appears normally 
And when a table is inserted it changes to either one of these, where the text is spaced out or bunched up.

| Cannot open MS Word Document from file link Posted: 21 Aug 2013 12:56 AM PDT I cannot open MS Word docs directly by clicking on doc files in a folder, neither can I open directly doc files sent as attachments in emails. When I click on the file links Word opens but not the file. I can only open these files if I open Word (2007) first, then file, open ...... For email attachments, I must save these first before I can open them through Word. Apologies if a response for this is somewhere - I did scour the answers but did not see one. Any assistance much appreciated. |

| Urgent help needed with mail merge feature Posted: 20 Aug 2013 08:00 PM PDT Hello, I am using Word2010. I have used mail merge with the 'letter' setting to populate data on different pages and generate reports. This time around I need to generate a page from an excel file which contains names of projects in a column alongwith other fields like start date and manager, etc. These need to be populated as a table on a single .doc sheet using mail merge.
To give you a better idea, the excel file reads as :
Name Project Manager Date xxxx xxxxx abc xyz abc xyz
and so on
and this needs to be merged on a doc file in almost the same form with some columns omitted. Can you please suggest how to achieve this using mail merge? Also, I tried using the <Next Field> feature in 'directory' mode but it didn't do it.
Thanks in advance, Raunaq |

| Need a Splitter Macro To Save 4-page Sub-Pages by a Specific Name Posted: 20 Aug 2013 06:06 PM PDT Hi,
I'm having a problem finding a splitter macro in Microsoft Word that will split my 2,000+ page mail-merged document into individual files and to name them according to the first line of text on the first page. I have found a macro that works but it splits the document at the first page. Each sub-document is four pages long. The macro I'm using also switches the orientation to portrait when it should keep it landscape (as in the mail-merged document). Any help would be appreciated! |

| Opening a file larger than 512 MB Posted: 20 Aug 2013 03:59 PM PDT I have a .doc word document that is larger than 512 MB (it is 562 MB) that cannot open in microsoft word. I saw other posts that said to rename the file to a zip file and open that, but that did not work for me. It says the folder type is invalid when I try to open it with windows explorer. I also tried opening it in winRAR, also does not work. I also tried opening it in OpenOffice writer. It gave me a read-error: 'This is not a WinWord6 file.' A note about the file: it was exported from a mac .pages format, I think. Maybe the file that was given to me isn't actually a valid word document? Is there any way to verify this? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I will be able to open this file? |
