word to pdf conversion problem

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 02:21 PM PDT

Hi,

When I PDF a page with footnotes, the last line or picture at the end of the page moves to the next page in the PDF file. Also, the space between the footnotes increases and footnotes numbering converts to continues numbering in the current section at PDF file.

Problem with Word Form-filling

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 01:02 PM PDT

I have created a form that users can complete and print. It works okay but seems to have some sort of glitch.

 

Most of the fields are 'plain text content control', some are legacy text form fields and there are a few check boxes. When the form is first opened, it is not possible to input text to the 'plain text content control' fields - only the legacy text form fields. Once something has been typed into one of the legacy fields, it becomes possible to type into the plain text content controls.

 

However, if you select one of the check boxes then it reverts and it will again be impossible to type into the plain text content controls until something is typed into one of the legacy fields.

 

It's wierd and very frustrating (having taken a long time to create the form). It's only a problem when the form is protected and restricted to only filling in the form. I can leave it unprotected but, owing to the nature of the document (and multiple potential users), it would be much more useful if the form worked with the protection in place.

 

Any ideas?

restore left-justifed command

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 12:42 PM PDT

While demonstrating macros to someone in MSW 2003, I inadvertently altered the fundamental Ctrl-L keyboard command for left justification. Making a new macro to restore it the usual way with the Format > Paragraph window won't do because that carries with it a bunch of instructions for Indentation and Spacing that might not apply to text that I want to simply left-justify. Please help me restore this basic keyboard command.

Thank you.

Bulletted list indented for the first 10 pages and all of the sudden stops indenting

This makes no sense its like word just decides to change its own formatting as it goes... when I make a sub-level it just goes underneath the parent bullet not indented at all either.

Word goes automatically to "all markup" after rejecting a comment, saving slow

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 07:06 AM PDT

Hi all,

When I erase/reject a comment in TC, the document reverts automatically to All Markup though I work exclusively in Simple Markup. Not a big deal except that it takes a few moments for it to load with large documents, and sometimes the page comes up with a different paragraph in the window. It's annoying to wait and then click back to Simple Markup. Are there any preferences I can change to prevent this from happening? Also, with those same large documents (about 200-300 pages), saving can start to take way too long. The auto-save interrupts my work and makes it impossible to continue while it saves, which can take 5 or more seconds.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Microsoft Word 2013 crashes upon doing anything

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 12:31 AM PDT

This video outlines the issue and shows what happened

http://youtu.be/hg0nKovhyDM

This is a screen capture of me trying to use my newly purchased Microsoft Office Word 2013. The video shows that when trying to create a blank document, open another document, change my settings, or just about anything else; it crashes. The video also shows that other elements of office such as one-note or PowerPoint function as needed and that it is only Word that has this issue.
I am running 64 bit Windows 7 SP1 on my ASUS K52F.

My specs are:
  • Intel Core i5 @ 2.67 MHz
  • 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz
  • Generic PnP Monitor (1366x768@60Hz)
  • Intel HD Graphics

If anyone has any help for this issue it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Office Word 2013 glitches

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 08:49 PM PDT

Using Word, some features I have problems using because the application glitches out. For example I cannot drag a tab across the top without it glitching and undoing my tab position. Or trying to switch between Home - Insert - anything else, the application seems to "stop working." then it switches over. My Word application just seems glitchy, doesn't seem... seamless. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Whole Document Microsoft Translator doesn't work

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 07:00 PM PDT

  I am trying to use the whole document translator feature of Word 2010.  I click on the "Translate" button in the review pane, and select the "translate document" option.  The dialog pops up, I click "send"...then nothing ever happens.  I tried manually typing the URL given for the Microsoft Translator service, and the webpage doesn't seem to exist. http://www.microsofttranslator.com/officetrans/httpquery.aspx

The issue is not document size, this happens with any size.  I repaired the program and rebooted the computer -- still nothing.  This is a brand new installation of Office 2010.

Any help?

Word copies defaulting to multiple copies...how can I change?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 06:55 PM PDT

A couple of weeks ago I printed 8 copies of a document. Word has now defaulted to print 8 copies. I can change to a different number of copies and the new number of copies will print, but it defaults back to 8 again. This only happens in Word not Excel or anything else I might print. Does anyone know how to default copies back to 1 copy. Thanks for the any help available.

Navigation Pane Incorrect Display (Word 2013)

word 2013 PROBLEM - got essay to finish

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 03:42 PM PDT

Hihi,
I have an essay I gotta finish before the end of this weekend so all valuable answers would be appreciated.

So the problem:
I was working with word 2013 and everything was going smoothly. Than all of a sudden I click something by accident when I was putting a picture into the essay and now I can not edit my text. Every time I try to click into the text the editing field moves to the top of the first page. 
I am also not able to use any of the tabs - like bold, underline, insert functions and just all of it!

Hope somebody can help me.. Thanks!

Yes, it did a little. Now the crunches seem shorter and less displeasing

Hi Matt,

If your work community would be satisfied with Gantt Bars in the RAG status
see:

www.mvps.org/project FAQ #31 for some ideas about customizing Gantt bars
based upon the flag fields.

If you would like to see Graphic indicators for RAG status as part of a
table see Mike Glen's article at:

http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=403

His example uses graphic indicators for cost but you can modify the custom
field to show variance for the Start or Finish fields.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Can levelling eventually drive one insane? The real question is...

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 02:33 PM PST

Seconding Jack's comments. The only thing leveling does is shift work to
resolve overallocations. It never, ever, tries to use resources to their
fullest extent; the only thing is does is resolve situations where you have
overbooked the resource to do more than they are capable of. If I have Joe
booked for 8 hours on Task A Monday and also for 8 hours on Task B, he's
expected to do 16 hours of work in an 8 hour day and that's impossible.
Leveling will move one of those tasks to Tuesday, assuming the resource is
free. Why doesn't it increase or decrease allocations? Because it doesn't
know why you've booked him at less than the max and doesn't know anything
about the priorities of the business or the project. Maybe there's a very
good reason, like work to be done outside the micro-unicverse of the
project, that means on THAT day he's only available a couple of hours for
project related work. You, the PM, know that when you assign him only 25%
on task X Tuesday even though his overall maximum availability is usually
100%. But Project can't know anything about what else might be going on
with the resource and so it respects your management decision.

MS Project is a glorified calculator, not a manager <grin>.

Managed Period

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 12:29 PM PST

Andrea --

The "synching up" messages you receive are normal in an environment using
managed time periods. What this means is that the information in the
project plan must be synchronized with the information in PWA. This also
means that you cannot enter Actual Work manually in the Microsoft Project
plan, and that all Actual Work must be submitted by team members using their
PWA timesheet. This is one of the limitations of using managed time
periods, one that frustrates many good people (such as yourself).

Beyond this, I would recommend that you get a book specifically on Project
Server 2003. Click the URL in my signature block for information about
ordering our company's book on the software. Hope this helps.

Jack answered the first question so I'll answer the second. There are
several built-in Reports that show resources and their assignments - Who

tried tailoring any of these to get what you want? Another simple option
is to show the Resource Usage view itself and set the timescale to show

If you have looked at all of the above and they just quite give what you

You can set it to 24 hours which would translate into 24 minutes.

2 questions about task type

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 06:49 AM PST

I tend to think of the task type setting and the effort driven setting as
switches the PM uses to supply the intellegence about what should happen
when a task is edited that Project itself lacks. If I have one guy assigned
to paint a room and add a second guy, the duration should get shorter since
the work is divided between them - effort driven. If I have a meeting and
am adding attendees, the meeting length won't change depending on the number
of people, it certainly won't get shorter at any rate!, so it's non-effort
driven.

Task type - I'm changing Joe from 100% to 50% on a 5 day task he's been
assigned to. Why? Is it because I need him elsewhere 4 hours a day and can
live with the first task taking longer? Fixed work. Or is it because it's
really only 20 man-hours instead of 40 but I don't need it done earlier than
originally planned - fixed duration. In each case, only you know what the
outcome SHOULD be, Project doesn't and can't know. The task type and effort
driven setting let you make sure it does the calculations the way they're
supposed to be.

Hi, I have a problem with Word 2013.  I just downloaded it yesterday.  I opened it up, and it gave me this warning:
I clicked Yes and put a check next to everything except .rtf (Rich Text Document), and clicked Save.  Now, my problem is, every time I close and reopen Word, it comes up with the same message box.  How do I save the settings so it is the default program for everything except .rtf?

page numbering not being retained

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 02:34 PM PDT

I am writing a book. It has about 200 pp now but will probably end up being over 300. Each chapter is a separate section, but I have it set for the numbering to be continuous through all chapters to the end. The number is not to be displayed on the first page of each chapter but in the header on other pages.

I have done this procedure a hundred times on other books written in Office3, Office 7 and now Office 10, setting numbers in each chapter to pick up the number from the previous chapter (having a different header (empty) for the beginning of each chapter. But this time I can go through the and set this up. It all looks fine, then the next time I open the document, the numbering has gone back to starting over with each chapter. I have now reset the number a dozen times, but the numbering is not being retained. 

Please, what can I do? I am slowly going mad.

Word file that saved only the last phrase and the rest is gone

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 01:10 PM PDT

I'll try to be as neat as possible. I had this word file of about 15 pages, it's a document that grows every day since it's a translation so it's very precious for me. Nedless to say I hit the save button every 5 minutes or even less, so yes, I DID saved it before closing it. In fact, when I opened it after a few hours, the only thing I found was the last phrase I wrote - at the top of a new page - and all the other pages before it are gone. No sign of them. How is this possible???? Where are they? Is there any way to find them? I've already searched in all the temporary files and in the entire computer but nothing. I'm desperate. Please help!!!

Potentially Corrupt Word Files

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 10:35 AM PDT

Although I'm unsure of exactly what to Google or search for, I have a Word file that seems to corrupt from time-to-time with no real common trigger. I've ensured that this document launched new from an established template that is widely used, so I know that there is no legacy issues from a document that has been passed around. I've also not copied in an elements from other documents that may have been corrupt, generating everything from within this new, clean version.

The problem is that Word will all of a sudden have many lines (almost looks like page breaks) being repeated with no end in sight at half-inch intervals. I can still see an accurate word and page count on the tracker, but this content is no longer visible. Once this occurs, the screen starts to act sporadic at best. However, this can occur on a random page within the document, leaving everything that occurs ahead of it just fine.

Once this issue happens, some other things I have noticed is the inability to insert a traditionally flashing cursor into the text and styles within the Paragraph Styles palette disappearing as the cursor hovers over it.

I look forward to any advice that can be given.

header and footer disappear when copy/pasting from document with section breaks

Urgent need of help please! My organization is trying to create a global template for everyone to use. 

When someone copy/pastes from a document with section breaks into the template, the template's header and footer disappears on certain pages.

Is there any way to tell the global template NOT to transfer over breaks from a copy/paste? Or is it possible to lock the header and footer fullproof to the point that copy/pasting breaks wont alter it?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 08:35 AM PDT

We use MS Word 2010 and are and have been experiencing difficulty with the tabs settings.

 

In particular when a tab is present in a document we are only able to move it once.  To move it again we need to save, close and reopen the document.  When we attempt to use the ruler to set or adjust the tab we do not get the pointer arrow,  all we get is the double stacked box icon for setting the top and bottom margins. 

 

We operate in a server environment.  What can be done to fix this issue?  Is it a global setting?

 

It is very frustrating and time comsuming for our staff.

 

Thank you,

Why are my pictures being replaced?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 08:16 AM PDT

I'm working on a 100+ page document that contains screenshots and icons inline with text.  I'm having bizarre problems that I've never seen before in Word. 

 

Several of my pictures are being replaced with other pictures.  For example, I've added icons inline with text like this:  "Click the View Details [pic of the View Details button] button."

 

In a lot of places in the document my [pic of the View Details button] has been replaced with [pic of a number icon]. 

 

Does anyone have clues as to why this is happening?  I can fix them, but would like to prevent the cause of the problem if possible.

 

 

add-in custom menu

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 07:12 AM PDT

I am looking at upgrading some clients from Word 2003 to Word 2010 and I am having a problem with a custom menu that was created in Word 2003. I am using the same document template as was used in 2003 as there are many macros associated with that template. Each item on the custom menu calls a macro to do various functions. The problem in Word 2010 is that on the add-in tab on the ribbon, the menu name is displayed but not enabled so I cannot access any of the menu items. Any information on how to get the menu enabled would be appreciated. As an alternative, I can create new tabs and setup new menus and then just hide the add-ins tab. Thanks - Kevin

Office 2013 - Excel to Word Mail Merge will not retain formatting

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 05:55 AM PDT

Hi

 

Since upgrading to Office 2013 I'm having trouble with a mail merge document, in that previously it would retain formatting of percentages, currency figures etc, whereas now I get figures pulling through of for example '7.0000000000000007E-2'  instead of '7%'.  In earlier versions of Word you were able to select an option when picking the data source of 'MS Excel via DDE' which would solve any issues of this kind, but I can't see where to select this option in Word 2013.  I'm aware I could re-write all the merge fields with switches to force the formatting but I'd rather not as there are quite a few and it would be time-consuming to re-edit all my other Word merge documents. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Joe

Sharing Auto Text

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 05:51 AM PDT

Is there a way to put standard auto text for Word say on a shared drive, where all users could go and access it? So the purpose would be to have a central, standardized auto text file that could be periodically updated/maintained by one person, and then all users with Word could go into the location of the auto text on the shared drive and update their's periodically?

I want to change my name in Microsoft Word 2010, and possibly Microsoft Office as well!

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 05:14 AM PDT

I noticed that on some 'Word' 2010 documents I have written that when I right click on it and select 'Properties' and then click on 'Details' that my name appears in the 'Authors' and 'Last saved by' strands. On some other 'Word' documents the name is different or not there at all. WHat I want to know is this: can I change my name and details in all the many 'Word' documents quickly and easily and at the same time, AND can I change my name in Microsoft Office, so that any subsequent Office program I use like 'Word' 'Excel' or whatever will record whatever name I choose or just be blank? Any help gratefully appreciated!

Inserting an image of size 16* 16 in word add in is duplicated ?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 04:32 AM PDT

In the Word Add In, I am adding an small tickmark image of size 16*16 in current selection range. It is inserting the tick image in current selection properly, but the issue is if we click on the Enter key after inserting the image, the image is shrink and duplicated.

The code I have implemented is.

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageData);

Image img = Image.FromStream(ms);

Image image = new Bitmap(img, 16, 16);

// convert to a gif so image background's transparency is not lost

const string tempfile = "TickmarkImage.gif";

image.Save(tempfile);

if (selection != null)

{

Range range = selection.Range;

 

//insert the image

if (range != null)

{

range.Start = range.End;

range.InsertParagraph();

selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(tempfile, false, true, range);

 

}

 

//move down after adding the picture

selection.MoveRight();

}

 

Any Help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mahesh K.

 

label problem on Word 2013

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 09:23 PM PDT

Your suggestions do not solve my problem.

I am using Microsoft 2013 Word document to create a grid that matches my Copier Labels. I go into Mailings/Labels/Options/Label Vendor/product number. 
With Microsoft 2010 it worked without a glitch, but now when I enter all the relevant data as per the instruction sheet on the Avery Copier Labels box, when i print the vertical labels are not in line.  I've tried changing some of the measurements but to no avail.
Can you help?

How do I prevent Microsoft Office from continually blocking my emails with a message to buy a "Microsoft Office product"?

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 08:06 PM PDT

Often, when I try to email a Word document a large box pops up from Microsoft Office blocking my email.   The Microsoft box gives me three choices:  ACTIVATE  - which I can't do because I do not have Office 10";  PURCHASE Office 10 - which I don't want to do; TRY a short trial basis which I don't want to do.    How can I permanently stop this?

Trouble reinstalling office home and student 2010

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 05:23 PM PDT

Does anyone know why all of a sudden our Microsoft office home and student 2010 is having issues? We've had it on our computer for over a year and a half no problem. Then last week my daughter goes to use it and it won't open. So, we uninstall had some issues there finally got the program uninstalled and then reinstalled.
Everything is fine EXCEPT the Word program it has the look of the old 2003 version.  Is there a fix or patch we are missing that might correct this? I've about drove myself insane trying to get this straightened out.

Office 2010 Word 2010 Right-Click a Picture, and "Edit Picture" is Gray-Out

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 03:29 PM PDT

When I right-click a jpg picture with the mouse pointer that is embedded in Word 2010 document, I get the menu below, How can I enable Edit Picture or why is it grayed out?

 

Can I program it to use a different picture editor, like Paint.NET, FastStone Image Viewer, or Paint Shop Pro?

 

I checked MSPaint and Microsoft Office Picture Manager is installed and working correctly.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pick up where you left off option - how to make it last longer?

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 03:29 PM PDT

I like the new "Pick up where you left off" tag thing that appears on my documents but it's gone before i can click on it. Can you make it last longer, or set it as a default to go directly to where you left off when you open a document?
