Microsoft Word - how do I preview fonts all at once. without have to select each one.

Microsoft Word - how do I preview fonts all at once. without have to select each one.

how do I preview fonts all at once. without have to select each one.

Posted: 08 Sep 2013 02:35 PM PDT

I would like to see what a font looks like without having to select each and every one. In other words I would like to see what the font looks like as I scroll down the list with out selecting a font. If I am looking for a special looking font I would have to start at the top and click each one just to see what it looks like. This would be very time consuming. There must be a way to see what they all look like then select which one you like. Does anyone else know how to do this?

Word 2007 Copy and Paste/Clipboard Issue

Posted: 08 Sep 2013 05:31 AM PDT

If I copy text, highlight then right click and select copy, from a webpage or other document, then open Word and paste, I get a large black irregular shaped dot as a result; no text. If I open Word first, then copy and paste, everything is normal.

 

This issue has been going on for some time. I don't recall when it started. There must be some conflict between text that exists on the clipboard before you open the Word application that doesn't exist if you copy to the clipboard after the Word application is started. 

 

My OS is Win 7 Pro x64 SP1.

 

Is there a fix for this issue?

Unable to open Word 13 documents

Posted: 08 Sep 2013 05:14 AM PDT

I have Windows 8 on my new laptop on which I installed MS Office Professional Plus 2013 at the outset.  When I try to open documents, either those transferred from my USB stick from my previous laptop, or those created on this laptop and this version of MS Office Word, I am given the notification that there is a problem with the file's contents and that "the file is corrupt and cannot be opened".   I have been backing up my files onto a new USB stick and am only able to access my documents from this stick.  I have attempted to overwrite files on the hard drive with the files on my USB stick and have been able to access them from the hard drive for a short period of time, but it is not long before I get the corrupt notification.  Is it the case that MS Office is not compatible with Windows 8?  

Any advice would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

Mail Merge - To a Word Table on a Single Page

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 10:15 PM PDT

I am trying to Mail Merge multiple records using data extracted from an Excel 2010 Spreadsheet into the body of a table in Word 2010.

 

I want the records to "list" in the Word table on a single page, but everything I try ends up with 1 page and 1 table per record (multiple pages) instead of all on the same page in the same table.

 

Under the "Start Mail Merge", I have tried both Directory and Normal Word Document, but neither gives the outcome I'm trying to get.

 

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong, please?

 

Thanks!

Line Connector

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 07:56 PM PDT

Having problems with the line connector in that I can not get a line to attach to a shape / object. I'm using the following method in Word 2013.

Insert> Shapes> Rectangle 

I do this twice to create 2 rectangle on the page. To create a line, I do the following

Insert> Shapes> Elbow Connector (4th from the left under lines)

I hover my mouse over one of the rectangles but nothing happens, I see no boxes to attach it too and I can insert A line of any length, but it won't move with the shapes. If I move the shapes, the line stays where it is. I am sure I'm missing something silly, but going through all of the options I can't see anything obvious. Please help?

EDIT: I've gotten this to work in Excel, easily. If I try to copy / paste this into Word everything works except it doesn't maintain the line connection. Is this feature even applicable in Word 2013 still?

what is a php file and how can I open it

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 07:45 PM PDT

Hi, I have a file on my desktop, which I have apparently saved myself, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it is.   I think it might have to do with downloading pictures to or from my cell phone, but I am not sure. The file looks like a faded document, and at the bottom says: photo.php. I tried downloading some aps recommended by Windows 8. This opens it  but all I see there is a bunch of what I call gibberish.

 

I would like to know what does a php file usually refers to, and if there is a way to open it.

I also would like to know if there is a software I can use to change extension files, in photos, audio and videos. I use to use NHC, but that only worked on videos.

 

Not sure of category of topic, so I chose at random. Sorry

 

I have Windows 8, IE10, Office 2010 and AVG free,

 

Your help is much appreciated...Edie

Office 2003 asks for Office 2000 Small Business CD

Posted: 02 Apr 2005 01:11 PM PST

All OK now. You definitely pointed me in the right direction, but it was
more complex. When I was logged on as me, the list of removable programs in
the control panel was OK - no remaining Office 2K listings. When I l;ogged
on as my wife, both Office 2000 SR-1 and the Disc2 Small business additions
were listed. I am supposing there were duplicate registry entries maybe from
when I upgraded from ME to XP/Home? Anyway, uninstall wouldn't work because
of missing msi files. After a little research on the microsfot site, I
figured out what they were and copied them from the CD's in to the
directories they were asking for them in. All I had to do then was hit
ignore a gazillion times when uninstall went looking for files allready
uninstalled.

The easy way would have been to directly edit the regsitry, but I don't know
enough XP internals to do that with any confidence. This worked w/o bad side
effects.

Again, thank you for the pointer!

OEM programs live and die with the computer on which they came and are not
transferrable. You will need to obtain a retail version of Office for your

Note to all - if you get Office OEM, you are getting a far less valuable

How to Repair Office Installation w/o Program Launch?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 09:59 PM PST

You should have done a repair install of XP. Check your HDD in Explorer, I'll bet that you find 2 Windows folders and that is why you had to reinstall all of your programs.

My suggestion would be to save all data to removable media and start over.

Project 2003 install broke Word/Excel 2000?

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 06:30 AM PST

Hi Bob,

Thanks for posting back so quickly.

I was of the idea that the recommended course of action would be something
like that below but it was as much looking for clarification that installing
only a single app of Office 2003 [in this case Project] could/would 'break'
other apps [in this case Word/Excel] that were of the Office 2000 variant.

I take it that installing a single Office 2003 app *can* cause such issues
in other apps in Office 2000 then?

Office Pro Installation File not found

Posted: 26 Mar 2005 05:23 PM PST

In Browsing through the rest of the posts here and trying the ideas others
have replied, this seems to be a common problem in that one or more of the
..cab files is either corrupted, will not be recognized etc. After Posting my
initial note here, I emailed Microsoft and they are sending me another copy
out. In the meantime, I have found a resolution to my particular file problem
which may or may not help some of you others out here having the same
problem. The .cab file that I am having problems with is a common file
between the "Standard" and "Pro" versions. Not all the .cab files included
with each version are the same, so if you do try this it may or may not work
for you. Although resourseful, this is not what some of you would be likely
to call a viable solution, but this is what I have done. I copied all of the
files that will copy from the cd to a share file on my hard-drive. I then
downloaded the Office 2003 Standard Edition Trial Version, installed but
prior to the installer clearing all the temp files created by the
self-extracting .exe, copied the one .cab file into the previosly copied
share folder. I then ran the installer from the local folder instead of the
cd and was able to install the entire Pro package over the standard and all
seems to be fine. I will be re-installing when I recieve the new CD, just to
make sure that all is good, but this has me back up and running and working
on my ongoing projects.

I installed Office Pro 2010 (32-bit) on my Win 7 Pro x64 system.  I have noticed that there is no "Exclamation" event sound when closing either Word, Excel, or PowerPoint when the Exclamation window appears to "Save Changes".  However, the Exclamation event sound does activate when closing Outlook  when asked to Delete files in the "Deleted Items" folder.  I would have expected the Exclamation event wave to sound in all MS Office 2010 apps.

 

I did have Office 2007 on my system first, but uninstalled it prior to installing Office 2010.  All Exclamation events did sound in Office 2007.

Why does Word want to configure Office every time I try to launch it? All other Apps continue to work as expected.

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 11:57 AM PDT

I installed MS Office 2007 on a new Win 7 laptop, and it worked well for some time. The laptop was then used by another person for a while and when it got back to me, they must have tried to install Office 2010. Since I couldn't find any 2010 apps I uninstalled it, and returned to 2007. I have the install CD. After I did, all the apps worked well except Word. Word wants to "Configure Office" each time I try to launch it.

I saw this type of message once before when an older and newer version of Access were installed on the same OS.

I have tried to "Repair" it without any change. I should probably uninstall and reinstall Office 2007, and I can do that, but I'm curious if there is another perhaps faster way. I was thinking maybe some regedit changes.

But later in the manuscript, the images appeared as collapsed bars. I checked the generated images in the separate folder and yes, they were corrupted there too. 

Thank goodness (I have good Karma), I had left my Word 2010 installed. I switched back and lo and behold it worked fine. 

This is clearly a bug in Word 2013. Guys, I wish you actually tested these things with real-world files.

So, for my question: (besides how do I get a refund), how do I fix this so I can use Word 2013 for my books?

System: Windows 7, i7 980x, 48GB RAM, tons of hard disk space. 

Microsft Office Issue.

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 09:40 AM PDT

I have Student Office 2010 in Windows 7. I tried opening Excel and had problems. Eventually it worked.

 

Then when opening Word I received message:  "setup controller encountered a problem during install . Please review the log files."

After affirming, a message comes up "Microsoft Word needs VBA Macro language install support to complete this action. The feature is not currently installed would you like to install it?"

 

I affirm and a get the message, " VBA Macro language is needed..."

 

Then I receive an error message stating "setup controller encountered a problem during install. Please review the log files." 

 

After affirming, I get "Microsoft needs VBA Macro language support to complete this action. Microsoft Word cannot install the necessary files due to Windows installer error 33. The process cannot access the file because another portion of the process has blocked access to the file."

 

It eventually offers a suggestion page which deals mostly with disabling or enabling (Microsoft Warns against enabling, so I have not) / Trusting Macros, so none of the suggestions were useful (from which several times I have to click okay to exit out.

 

I have ran a full virus / security scan with no detected issues.

I also ran the "Fix it" program from Microsoft and it noticed no issues, even after restarts"?

I have also done a full update and

Searched Microsoft's site for a patch or update with no results.

I contacted tech support whom stated it was a "system corruption issue" but, was unable to give me a suggestion on whether it was simply an update issue, or what likely caused it as I had not introduced any new programs or corrupted files.

 

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated? Thank you for you thoughts!

lack of paper sizes to choose from

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 08:53 AM PDT

I have just changed computer & installed my copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 on the new computer, when I try to select different page sizes in word for example I only have a choice of A4 or letter, on my old PC I had around 20 different sizes such as A3/4/5/6 various sizes of photo paper & also envelope sizes, how do I get these on my new PC, I have the same two Epsom printers installed as I had on my old PC, please help

Text wrap not working as I need when inserting an image into a paragraph

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 08:30 AM PDT

I want to insert an image into several pages of running text. I want the image to be located at the top of the page and to fill the full width of the page. I want the text preceding the image to run to the bottom of the page before the image then to continue directly underneath the image. If I amend the text, particularly the text on the page preceding the image, I want the text to flow around the image, but always to reach to the bottom of the page before the image and always to resume immediately after it. 

So, I insert the image and then choose 'top and bottom' text wrapping, and at this point the text and image look how want them. But when I make changes to the text, a big gap appears at the bottom of the page before the image. It seems that when the text before and after the image is part of the same paragraph, it doesn't want to flow properly. If I make paragraph breaks in the text before and after the image, then, if the resulting paragraph is small enough, it will jump into the gap before the image (on the previous page). If I take out the paragraph breaks, then the text doesn't want to stay there - it jumps below the image again, leaving a gap at the bottom of the page before the image.

lt feels like what I want to do is a very basic layout function, so I'm at a loss as to why it won't work, or why I can't find any answers to the problem on the forums I've searched (including this one).

Thanks for any help you can provide. 

Word 2010 Home & Student syncing with Microsoft Pocket Word

Posted: 07 Sep 2013 07:29 AM PDT

Hi, I want to buy an HP 720 Jordana handheld PC (old hardware & software!) which I intend to use in conjunction with my work station PC and in particular Word 2010 Home and Student.  I want to transfer Word documents back and forth from PC to handheld PC via USB/serial connection.

My question is - will Microsoft Word 2010 Home and Student in my work station PC be able to understand Microsoft Pocket Word documents in the handheld PC and vice versa?

I know that ActiveSync 3.8 is required for synchronizing between the 2 Pcs but wondered if the 2 different versions of WORD might be a problem.

macro cannot be found or has been disabled

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 08:32 PM PDT

Hello there.

 

I have a question that I know has been referred to a few times on this fórum but i still cant seem to solve my issue.

I recently installed office 365 and whenever i open Word 2013 it says macro cannot be found or has been disabled...

in fact it says it all in spanish which doesnt really help me, but as i am living abroad and have bought a foreign computer and software its all in spanish!

I really dont know what to do, people have mentioned an avery label file but i have search the computer and cant seem to find that...

what i have in my appdata file is a Microsoft file then forms file then 2 forms 1 called MSComctlLib.exd and another one SHDocVw.exd

 

also when i go to close Word it comes up with a box saying Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications - Error de compilación en modulo oculto MTInsertFunctions. Este error suele occurir cuando el codigo es incompatible con la versión, la plataforma o la arquitectura de esta aplicación. haga clic e¨"Ayuda" para obtener mas información

which loosely means - compilation error in hidden module MTInsertFunctions. This error often occurs when the code is incompatible with the versión, the platform or the architecture of this application. click in Help to get more information.

 

I have Trados Studio 2011 installed on my computer along with MultiTerm 2011, i dont know if this is what is causing the issue and if so what to do as Multiterm is potentially a program i am going to want to use.

 

I am not a computer expert, i find the instructions on the fórum very confusing indeed so please please if you can offer some REALLY simple and easy to follow instructions i would really appreciate it.

Word 2013 word count not working properly

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 07:36 PM PDT

Until this week, if I chose a paragraph or two Word would display on the bottom of the screen 158 of 800 words. Now it only displays the total amount of words and I have to click on the total number and a box pops up showing the breakdown of the words. How do I get it to give me the summary again by only selecting the words I want counted?

I'm using windows 8. if that makes a difference.

Fill Effects Picture won't save to PDF

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 06:53 PM PDT

Hello,

 

In a Word 2010 document, I have select Page Color | Fill Effects | Picture and have selected a .png file  that is 816 x1060, which is the exact size of the document. In edit mode the document looks great. However, when I save as... PDF, the background appears as 9 small tiled versions of the image. When I use the Win2PDF printer driver it produces the same result.

 

What can I do to resolve this issue?

In MS Word 2010, when I go to the "Developer" ribbon that I have activated and click on "Design Mode", only the "Legacy/Active X" button is activated.  How do I activate the other buttons?

 

Also, all the items in the help section for 2010 use 2007 or 2003 templates which do not always apply to 2010.  Also, as an educator, I find the quality of the information is poor.

Sharepoint Workflow - MS Word Track Changes

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 04:09 PM PDT

First I am not a developer, I have a developer building a Workflow for me that will be used to route MS Word documents to multiple individuals for collaboration and they are stuck.


I need the track changes to default on and stay on until the collaboration is complete so that each individuals tracked changes are clear and visible. The workflow will then bring the document to an admin who can then accept or reject the track changes.


There is a password function to lock track changes on which I would like to use, because the Admin could have the password and there for full control. Not a requirement to use this function but I always need to be sure that track changes are on and only the admin can accept/reject/turnoff.


The documents are housed in a library and new documents will be added frequently by users.


I have looked into VBA (see below), but I have been told that this only works on a user by user basis so I guess I need this to automatically turn on through the workflow with out having to go into each document and adding the script. 


How do I automatically have track changes turn on, stay on and only adjustable by an admin in a workflow for all MS Word Docs?


Found Scripts:

Track changes automatically come on


Sub Autoopen()  With ActiveDocument      If .TrackRevisions = False Then          .TrackRevisions = True      End If  End With  End Sub

Word experienced an error trying to open the file.

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:32 AM PDT

I am running Windows 8.1 and trying to open any Word doc file from the Internet.  The error message I get is:


Word experience an error trying to open the file.

Try these suggestions.

*Check the file permissions for the document or drive.

*Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.

*Open the file with the Tex Recovery converter.


I have successfully downloaded the Word doc to a Windows 7 computer running Office 2010 without issue.


I have tried several different files from different Internet sites.  It doesn't matter whether I try to open the file from within IE 11 or whether I first save the file to the desktop.  My UAC is set to the lowest level.  I believe it must be some other security setting but don't know where to look.

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 07:00 PM PST

I am not sure of the process, but MS offers a 30 day warranty, I believe. So
if you just bought it, then take it back and get the Works Suite, which
includes Word. It really is not that much more and then you won't have the
problem you describe. If you are going to use Excel files a lot, then you
are not going to be happy with the Works spreadsheet. If you need full
Office function, then buy Office.

Erik, thanks for your help, but neither worked. I deleted all files in
windows/temp and the program gave the same error message. Then I downloaded
and instralled openoffice, but its database couldn't open mine.

Incidentally, I'm only trying to print out one label and I have even tried
dumping all records in the database except the one and that didn't work. So
I suspect the program may be generating a huge print file, but I don't know
how.

Works Database file duplication

Posted: 27 Oct 2005 07:04 AM PDT

From Help....

Create a backup copy of a database

Why make a backup copy?

Make a backup copy of a database to safeguard its contents. For example, if
you made changes to fields (a column in List view that shows a category of
information, such as a serial number or purchase date) in the working copy
of a database, saved those changes, and later discovered that you wanted an
earlier version, you could use the backup copy instead of rewriting the
database or trying to re-create the original version from memory.

To create a backup copy of a database, you need to be able to see your
database's file extension (a period and letters added to the end of a file
name, such as .doc, that indicates the type of file).

1 Turn on file extensions.

How?

1 On the taskbar (a bar on the Windows desktop that has the Start button to
start programs and shows which programs are currently running), click the
Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2 On the View menu, click Folder Options.

3 If it is not already selected, click the View tab.

4 In the Advanced settings box, in Files and Folders, clear the Hide file
extensions for known file types check box.
Be aware that the command names and check box names vary depending on the
operating system on your computer. For example, instead of Folder Options on
the View menu, the command may be called Options. Or, the check box may be
called Hide MS-DOS file extensions for file types that are registered.


5 Click OK.



2 Open the database for which you want to make a backup copy.

3 On the File menu, click Save As.

4 In the Save in box, select where you want to save the database.

The default location for Works databases is My Documents.


5 If you are creating a new database, type a name for the database in the
File name box.
- or -

If this is an existing database, skip this step.


6 Select the Create Backup Copy check box.

7 Click Save.

8 Click Yes to replace the existing file.
- or -

If this is a new database, skip this step.


9 On the toolbar (a row of buttons near the top of a window that you can
click to perform an action, such as to print or save a document), click Save
..

The backup copy will be saved with the same name as the original database,
except it will have an extension that begins with b. For example, the backup
copy for a database named Sales.wdb will be Sales.bdb.

The most recent backup copy always replaces the previous backup copy.

Note To stop making backup copies, on the File menu, click Save As, and
then clear the Create Backup Copy check box.

Custom Install of Works Suite 2000

Hi DavidF,

Yes, the TweakUI Powertool does this, outside of Works.

In particular

TweakUI >My Computer>Special Folders > there are many
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/6232a.asp#138

You may also directly edit the regitry for same effect:

Go to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Locate ProgramFilesDir where the default is given as C:\Program Files
Change this to whatever directory you wish. e.g D:\MyPrograms

Judy zei het volgende op 1-11-2005 14:51: 

Dear Judy,

you should know that in Microsoft Works "upgrades" are made by removing
features. If you need to be able to rotate text frames, you should buy
works 6 (perhaps 7, I do not remember now, but certainly version 6)

Look at version 8: MS made a safety patch that "upgrades" version 8 to
8.5. When you do this, you loose Wordart and Draw. No replacement
whatsoever. This is typical for MSWorks. after version 4.

I am sorry,

Erik.

Hi John,

Colours in a spreadsheet are limited to those in:

Format>Font>Seect Font Colour.

No, it is not possible to insert a graphic into a Works
spreadsheet cell.

The incorrectly operating text-wrapping function in Works has
long been complained about in this Newsgroup. Unfortunately,
a solution is not yet forthcoming.

Wrap>Absolute operated perfectly well in Works 4.5.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

We can link to a "word, excel, text document on the hard drive fine. It is
when we try to link to any actual web address like
"http://www.microsoft.com". We are compiling website research for some
training materials and would like to have the links to all the articles
available outside the document in this project file.

We do have Office XP and Works 7.0 installed on the troubled laptop with
Windows XP Home SP2. I have Office 2003 installed on my laptop with works 7.0
and Windows XP Home SP1 and experience no problems.
