Excel and Word convert feature Posted: 25 Oct 2013 12:28 PM PDT On office 2010, on the backstage, there is a convert feature if you open a 2003 or earlier file. It is suppose to change the file to a 2010 format, ask to close and reopen the the file and then you only have the file in the new format. But on some machines it is acting as a save as and you have 2 files which can definately cause issues if you are not viewing extensions or file types. I have posted this with Word but it is happening with both Word and Excel. Can someone tell me what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks Terri |
Word 2013 crashes as soon as I do anything, is a nightmare Posted: 25 Oct 2013 12:12 PM PDT So I installed Office 2013 a couple of days ago, everything was working fine, used it extensively yesterday without problems. Today when I opened a new document and pasted a few things in it stopped responding and almost made my entire computer crash completely. Every time I lost the document because it was a brand new document with basically nothing in it except some pasted text. I restarted Word I-don't-know-how-many times and kept trying but it kept crashing ("Word is not responding"). So I gave up. I tried to do some simple word processing just now and it STILL kept doing the not responding thing as soon as I'd highlight some text or even just try to change the size. I don't understand why it was working yesterday but seems to be a pile of junk today. I'm terrified of this happening when I start typing up my thesis so I really need to fix this problem. Any suggestions would be lovely. |

Office 2010 help Posted: 25 Oct 2013 11:18 AM PDT I recently had to do a repair install of Windows 7 to fix an issue, since then i am having trouble saving office documents. It doesnt seem to matter if it is word, excel or powerpoint, when I try to save I get a message saying that I do not have permission to save to that location. It then asks if i would like to save to the my documents folder instead. If I select yes the document will save and i am able to copy and paste it anywhere I would like but it gets annoying having to do this every file. I tried several other files types and they all save just fine in any location, I can save notepad files on my desktop without issue but not word documents. I am on the Administrator account for this computer, I checked the permissions and have full control in the disk security tab as well as any folders that i am trying to save under. UAC is set to never, and I have tried a repair on Microsoft office, as well as removing and reinstalling it. |

Microsoft Word 2010 Normal.dotm Template Keeps Reverting Back to a Previous Version Posted: 25 Oct 2013 10:08 AM PDT I'm having a very frustrating problem with Word 2010 SP2 that I haven't been able to track down and could certainly use some help with. When originally installed, the Word image defaulted to our business' European owner's A4 paper size and margin settings. I would change the paper size to letter and set the margins that I wanted, click on Save as Default and then when I closed Word, it asked if I wanted to save the changes that I'd made to the normal.dotm template. I chose 'Yes' and assumed (wrongly, apparently) that everything would work just fine after that. Everything seemed to be okay for the rest of the day, but when I came in and woke up my laptop the next day, everything had reverted back to the European settings. So, back in I went and started deleting all of the copies of normal.dotm or oldnormal.dotm, etc., that I could find. This took a few attempts across a few days, but on 10/9/2013 I finally got it to stay on Letter-sized paper, but with the default margins of 1" all around. I prefer the narrow margin settings of 0.5", so I set those again and saved the template. Again, all was fine for one day, but after returning to work the next day, the margin settings would be lost, but the paper size was still Letter. I've kept an eye on the normal.dotm template file and when I change the margins, the template file gets updated with a new date, but when I check it the next morning, it has reverted back to the 10/9/2013 file date with those settings. I have searched the hard drive multiple times looking for the normal.dotm template file with the 10/9/2013 date, but cannot find anything. I have verified that the template file location is set to my C: drive in the default installation directory and all appears to be normal. I cannot figure out what I must have done differently on 10/9/2013 to change the paper size and get that to stick and I have no idea where this 10/9/2013 copy of normal.dotm could be coming from. I even looked in Task Scheduler to see if anything had been set up in there to regularly replace the template file, but there is nothing. I'm pretty much at my wit's end and would really appreciate any suggestions that you may have regarding this issue. Thanks in advance! |
Document Tags Posted: 25 Oct 2013 10:05 AM PDT I use tags to make organising files easier. I have a long list of tags now, all automatically saved when I create them. Unfortunately even misspelt tags are saved automatically, and remain saved even after I correct the spelling by making a new tag. So I now have a long list of saved tags, a lot of which I don't want. How can I get rid of all these old tags ? |
Word document changes marked in original Posted: 25 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT How can I use the marking bar, left or right margins, and have them shown in a printed document?

Footer keeps removing Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:57 AM PDT I'm updating a document in Word 07 with a footer on the first page only and the page numbers on all the rest.

Frequently when anything on the document is updated and saved the footer & page numbers are again removed. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. |
Delete a Custome theme from Office 2010 Word Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:56 AM PDT When I create documents for a customer I create custom color themes, but I cannot figure out how to delete these when I do not need them anymore. You used to be able to call up the theme list and right click on the theme getting a drop down menu including delete, but I am not getting this choice in 2010. Has something changed? |
Moving text with footnotes within a document Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:54 AM PDT I'm working on a rather large academic paper and when I move text from one place to another within the paper it does NOT bring the footnotes with it.

Office 365 Word 'Save-As' extremely slow on Windows 8 laptop Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:14 AM PDT We are using Dell laptop touch screen systems with Windows 8 installed. When attempting to do a "Save-As" from Word/Office 365 Home Premium to a network drive it can take several minutes for the address bar to progress across the top until the save is completed. I thought the problem might be with the wireless connection so I hard wired the laptops back to the switch but this problem still occurs. It seems as though the computer is searching to reconnect to the mapped network drive. The time period taken to achieve the save varies and can take up to 4 or 5 minutes. We are running other Windows 7 Pro desktops mapped to the same network drives and using Office 365 and they run fine. We also have SkyDrive connections on the laptops and the desktops. Any thoughts on how to correct this issue would be greatly appreciated. |
Search clip art by collection? Posted: 25 Oct 2013 08:14 AM PDT Recently Microsoft shutdown the website Microsoft Images (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/). The illustrations (wmf files) used to be tagged on the website with a collection number that you could search for and pull up all illustrations in that collection. This was very helpful as you could have all clip art in a document have the same style. Now that I have to search through Word to find the same illustration files, they aren't tagged with a collection number. Does anyone know how to still find all illustrations in a collection? Thank you so much! |

Vertical alignement of inline object Posted: 25 Oct 2013 07:11 AM PDT Is it possible to adjust the vertical alignment of inline objects? I have a small symbol that I need to add inline to a paragraph. When I insert the symbol it seems to be place a little higher up on the line while I would like it to be a little lower (more precisely, I would like its center point to be aligned with the center point of lower letters). Is it possible? Thanks. |
Office elements (first Word, now Outlook) suddenly crashing for one user, but not for Admin Posted: 25 Oct 2013 07:03 AM PDT Hi. I'm running Office 2007 Standard on a Win8 machine. I've had the new PC since last Spring, and Office worked perfectly until three or four weeks ago, when Word refused to open in my normal, everyday profile - just the rectangular splash logo and then hung. After a while I discovered it will open OK for the Admin account, but I am reluctant to keep this account logged in a I am always connected to internet and prefer to keep Admin account logged out unless needed. After waiting several minutes, I can get rid of the splash logo by clicking it, which brings up the options "close window" or "wait for Word to run" (or similar). If I choose "close window", I get a message "looking for the problem, this could take a few minutes" (or similar), although it in fact takes only 30 seconds or so. Now the rot has begun to attack Outlook, too: it opens fine, and many actions cause no problem., but some (including copy&paste, or changing colour of a cell entry, or bolding the text) will crash it (egg-timer; "not responding"). As of now I have run Office Diagnostics several times; checked I have all updates; tried several registry modifications suggested in other threads on this forum; run a couple of Microsoft Fix-Its; saving my .pst file, uninstalling Office 2007 and re-installing from the original CD-ROM. I am reluctant to upgrade to a new Office version: (a) I'm a pensioner and can't afford it, and (b) I've tried it on a friend's machine and it offers me nothing I need among the new features (indeed, even Office 2007 has far more features than I realistically need). Grateful for any advice. |
Microsoft Word 2000 Posted: 25 Oct 2013 06:41 AM PDT I have Microsoft Word 2000 installed on my computer and every time I use it, when I close the window, an error comes up that reads: MISROSOFT WORD FOR WINDOWS HAS STOPPED WORKING. A problem caused the program to stop working properly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I then have to click on: Close Program, to close the window and move on to the next project. It s very annoying TO HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I USE MICROSOFT WORD. DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW I CAN RID MYSELF OF THIS PROBLEM. Thanks. |
Word 2010 versus Word 365 Posted: 25 Oct 2013 06:01 AM PDT I have Word 2010 installed on my computer, which has Windows 7 OS. MSN is asking me to purchase Word 365, which I understand has various benefits including cloud storage, and which I have been testing as proposed. However, I do not need cloud storage, and do not see other advantages. It tells me to hurry up, as most features of Word will be disabled on October 28. What will be disabled ? Will I be able to continue to use Word 2010 as before ? |

multilevel lists/bullet issues Posted: 25 Oct 2013 05:12 AM PDT I am having issues on the multilevel list/format for Word 2013. I was drafting an outline for course work and was using the multilevel list to add structure and format to my notes. Until recently, hence my problem, I would use "enter" then "tab" to right indent and change my level to the next sub-level. To return to a higher/previous level I would use "enter" then "tab + back space". At present when I would use "tab" to attempt to change my level it simply indents as if to begin a new paragraph without any change in my level. When I would use "back space" it will remove the multilevel format (bullet, number, or letter) and keep my text in-line with the previous bullet, number, or letter. I had not made any changes to settings and am looking for ways to correct this issue. No error messages appear at any time and this is my only issue with Microsoft Word 2013. Any assistance to correct this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kyle |

Updating All Fields in a Word Document Posted: 25 Oct 2013 04:40 AM PDT Hi all I have seen a previous post on this but am going to re-post again as my question is slightly different and the advice given to use the Ctrl+Alt+F9 key does not work. I want to update the fields in my document as I actively am creating, can this be adapted to do this in the main settings, I can only find a box that all fields to update actively when printing? When I use the Ctrl, ALt + F9 key to update all fields within a document the field codes appear, (this is also in the headers as well?) Does anyone else experience this? Thanks I shall look forward to responses. |
Few Office programs keeps crushing after start Posted: 25 Oct 2013 04:03 AM PDT Hi! I bought Office 365 for 2 PC:s, a desktop PC with Win7 and a laptop with Win8. When I first time tried Word on desktop it worked well. Now, when I start it, it crashes right after I've tried click something. It won't crash if I don't do anything. I've tried a fresh install, a quick fix and an online fix. Nothing. For some reason, Powerpoint works well. I'm getting frustrated, because I bought the product because of it's reliability. I hope you can help me! Here's some pictures about crashing notices |
MS Word not printing Photos in colour Posted: 25 Oct 2013 03:22 AM PDT MS Word is printing all photos on the document in b+w. The Printer is Definitely a colour printer as you can print the document as a PDF and the colour is printed. I can also print colour in the same document ie. add red text and it prints in colour. I have ticked the print background colour and images, this does not work. I have uninstalled and re-installed office... No joy I cannot find any other causes to this. I've even re-installed drivers etc for printer. To me seems like it a setting or some tick somewhere in Word but i cannot find it |
