| Get watermarrk to appear on every page Posted: 20 Oct 2013 03:24 PM PDT I have created a document in Word 2013 that I want to issue in draft form, so want to put the "Draft" watermark on to every page of the document. However, I suspect that because I have a "Different First Page" header set, I can only either get the watermark on to the first page, or into the body of the document, but not on to both (ie, not on to every page). Could some-one help, please? |
| Table row height will not adjust Posted: 20 Oct 2013 03:17 PM PDT I work in tables constantly and have just recently run into this problem. I have a grey row that I insert between scenes of a TV show transcript. It has always been 0.08" high. I have a macro I have been using for a long time that throws that grey bar in for me. It now inserts a full height grey row and will not change height no matter what I try. The oddest thing is that once in a while it will work properly. Other times, I can cut and paste a narrow bar from another document if I have to (tedious) but today I cannot do anything to make that row smaller. And when I copy paste a narrow row from a previous document, it is full height. I am tearing my hear out here. Something I've been doing for years suddenly doesn't work. And I need to deliver this document! |

| Upgraded to office 2013 and now it won't open Posted: 20 Oct 2013 01:34 PM PDT So I bought Office 2010 and was able to get the free upgrade to Office 2013 when it became available last year. Office 2013 worked fine until I noticed recently that Office 2013 will not open. I didn't notice it wasn't working until recently. I get no error messages it just shows the windows 7 loading icon but nothing happens. I can open Office 2010 but not 2013. I tried the following but nothing happens.
Control panel/uninstall program= it won't let me repair office 2013. It shows an icon for office 2010 but it shows a blank folder for office 2013. It won't even let me uninstall office 2013.
I can't even open Office 2013 in safe mode. I tried opening up in safe mode but it only opens up 2010.

| Word 2010 file icons appear as text file icons after upgrade to Win 8.1 Posted: 20 Oct 2013 09:45 AM PDT I just upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After reinstalling my MS Office 2010 Professional, all my Word document icons appear as text file icons. No other Office files have this issue.
When I double click, Word opens the docs just fine, so it's not a association problem.
It appears to only be an icon issue.
I already ran the Office Repair program.
Any advice?

| Please help: problem opening document Posted: 20 Oct 2013 08:38 AM PDT Recently, my 365 2013 trial expired. I have been able to open all documents since then EXCEPT one, one of the my most important documents. I cannot even open it from my hotmail account, it simply says: Sorry, wordweb app ran into a problem opening this document. This particular document does say saved under Microsoft Word 97-2003, while the others are just saved as Microsoft Word Document. I have never had a problem opening this document before, regardless of what programme I have used, so I can't understand why this is the only document that will not open? I tried using openoffice also, and again ever document worked except this one. I have been told this document is corrupted too. If I purchase Word 97-2003, is the document guaranteed to work again? Please advise, I am so lost. |
| Why does rotated text in WORD 2010 revert when saved as a PDF document? Posted: 20 Oct 2013 08:04 AM PDT I have tried to keep some text rotated (upside down in this instance) within a text box in a WORD 2010 document - which has to be sent to a printer in .PDF format. When printing it the text box turns around(!) and when saving as a PDF file this text box has also changed from being upside down to normal way round. This is obviously a bug in WORD 2010 and so is there a fix for it? Thank you, Manda RR FYO: My husband has told me that it does work correctly in WORD 2013 on Windows 8 (printing as seen and saving as a PDF) |
| Word crashes when pressing define Posted: 20 Oct 2013 07:50 AM PDT Hello,
My word 2013 crashes whenever I try to define a highlighted word. When I do not log into my Microsoft account and press define, it prompts me to log in like usual. Upon logging in word then crashes and restarts.
I have tried both repair options, and also performed a full uninstall and re-install. I have logged out and in of my Microsoft account also. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew.

| Office 2013 'Something went wrong' notice Posted: 20 Oct 2013 07:05 AM PDT I bought Office 2013 last spring and have had no difficulties until this last Friday when I tried to open a word document and got the message 'something went wrong'. I ended up re installing. Now 2 days later I have this problem again. I don't see a similar issue. I am just using the same product I have used for months on the same computer.
I have Windows 7 operating system and see a lot of issues for Windows 8 users - did something get changed for them that made it difficult for me? |
| word 2013 has an unknown error Posted: 20 Oct 2013 06:55 AM PDT Hi Again, This follows on from an earlier question about re-installing Office 2013 on Windows 8. Unfortunately although I've reinstalled Office 2013 and everything else works, I have a problem in trying to open Word. First off the "User Account Control" asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" and when I type Yes, it appears to start Word and then I get the message "We're sorry but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?". If I type Repair now it starts the whole uninstall/reinstall cycle all over again. It seems to be a problem just for Word. Any tips? For example can I reinstall by going to office.com/setup and using the Product Key? Thanks Peter |
| Mail Merge Document Dropping Record at Page Breaks Posted: 20 Oct 2013 06:07 AM PDT I created a mail merge document with a datasource exported field headers from our student data software package. The document is then created using the field headers from this datasource and is uploaded into the software package as template. When running the merge template the document keeps dropping a record at each page break. I have reduced the number of record placements per page and even have added a forced page break but still have the same problem with a record being dropped when the next page is created. The only solution I was able to come up with was create the merge document with fields placed on the number of pages the document would have in the in end i.e. a 37 page merge template. When using this method all the records are merged correctly however it takes an extremely long time to get the merge template run.
Can you give me any suggestions on how to get a template to merge without losing data? This is a student directory so it was easy to noticed who was missing after the merge completed.
Thanks. |

| Arabic language proofing issue Posted: 20 Oct 2013 12:23 AM PDT Hi I'm trying to get Microsoft Word 2010 to do spelling/grammar check for Arabic. I have installed the proofing tools pack for Arabic. When the install completed, it said to simply restart Word and I'd be ready to begin. I have restarted Word and selected Arabic as the proofing language (I've tried all the country variants), but it still says 'Not installed' and will not correct my spelling or grammar. Please help! Thanks James |
| Printing Grayscale - Microsoft Office 2010 series Posted: 19 Oct 2013 10:57 PM PDT Hi, s Since updating our PC to Windows7 OS and MS office2010 combination, an inconvent change found is that we can't select Grayscale printing from the Printing Preferences menu anymore. I recall "grayscale printing" used to be available as a check box in the "finishing" tab or somewhere in the Preference dialog box for Excel, Word, etc. when using HP printer.
Since the new OS/MSoffice2010 combination does not show that choice, it's driving up the Color printing cost.
I have Brother printer at other place, that is doing just fine. But, I find grayscale printing problem exists with HP printer.
A printer service place told me that we just need to install the most recent driver. Has anyone tried this and had a luck solving this problem?
** Driver updates are so often these days (HP) that our folks in my office got tired of "installing/updating" the driver when everyone busy. If someone can tell "updating driver" is the confirmed/for sure solution for HP laserjet printer, please advise. If any additional tips on updating the driver, or any other way to get grayscale printing, that would be really appreciated.

| Microsoft Word 365 Posted: 19 Oct 2013 10:51 PM PDT I opted to take a trial of the Word 365 for a certain amount of time. That time has ended and now I am left with no Word at all. Is it either sign up for subscription or go without any Word? During the free trial Word 365 was always closing, forcing me to start over again and again. Can I have my old Word back or do I have to subscribe to this new stuff? |
| Word 365 constantly reformatting new document Posted: 19 Oct 2013 10:31 PM PDT So I'm at the point of just uninstalling 365 and going back to Office 2010.
I'm in the process of creating several documents and Word insists on continually changing the formatting I'm using (reversing bolded and unbolded text) and changing the font size of what I'm typing (previous line will be in 14, enter and next line back in 12). It's been very random, and doesn't happen all the time, but happens very frequently.
I've gone through all the auto format/auto correct/options boxes and have pretty much deselected everything to no avail. Is there something I'm missing or is this one of the "quirks" of the new Office that just assumes it knows what I want better than I do?
