Microsoft Word - Autonumber Word Table

Microsoft Word - Autonumber Word Table


Autonumber Word Table

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 03:08 PM PST

I would like to autonumber a table as with the following examples:

  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 1 (Heading level 1)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. or 1-01, 1-02, 1-03, etc.)
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 1.1 (Heading level 2)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 1.1-1, 1.1-2, 1.1-3, etc. or 1.1-01, 1.1-02, 1.1-03, etc.))
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 2.3 (Heading level 2)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 2.3-1, 2.3-2, 2.3-3, etc. or 2.3-01, 2.3-02, 2.3-03, etc.)
  • I have a two column table.
  • The left column is titled "ID".
  • I want the ID column to autonumber as rows are added to the table (or at least be able to paste in a field code that will sequence as I desire).
  • The table is under Heading 3.4.1 (Heading level 3)
  •  I would want the ID column row values to appear as 3.4.1.1, 3.4.1.2, 3.4.1.3, etc.
    (a very acceptable alternative could be 3.4.1-1, 3.4.1-2, 3.4.1-3, etc. or 3.4.1-01, 3.4.1-02, 3.4.1-03, etc.)

...and so on.

 

I'm sure this is possible, but how?

 

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

 

Office 365 - Specifically with Word

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 02:50 PM PST

In Word 2013 I was able to call up multiple documents and have them available. Now it seems like Word is emulating Excel in only allowing the program to be run one at a time. This is frustrating because I like to have my papers available and also a blank page to use for notes to make quick training guides. I cannot for the life of me think how 365 is an improvement. Also, can I access Office without having to log in? Thank-you.

Lost word at last upgrade

Including images in mail merge- repeats same image for every entry

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST

Hello,

I am trying to make a photo directory for my office. I have my data saved in an excel spreadsheet (very basic, last name, first name, title, email, image file path). I am then creating a table in Word where I want to data to go. I am making a one row- three column table, so that all of the data will fit in a three column table, read left to right and top to bottom. I want the image of each person to sit next to the data in each block of the table.

 

My issue is that the correct image shows up in each of the first three blocks (Where I put the merge fields originally). THEN it repeats the same image in each column. (For example, all blocks in column a have the same image as the very first person, all blocks in column b have the same image as the second person, all blocks in column c have the same image as the third person.) I need each individual person to have his or her own image (obviously...)

 

I am using Word 2013. I am typing this to insert the image:

 

{INCLUDEPICTURE{IF TRUE{MERGEFIELD<<Headshot>>}}\d}

 

It has worked once or twice, but then when I try to format the images everything goes wrong. I am really at a loss and have searched the internet for hours trying to find an answer. Please help!

Office 2010, Skydrive Default Saving Windows 8.1

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 12:33 PM PST

So I realize that Office 2013 can easily save to SkyDrive by default with Windows 8.1.  But, I am still using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, and I can't find out how to save to SkyDrive by default.  I know you can do it manually, but that's not what I'm looking for.  Any help or answer would be appreciated.

Looking for How to create an Excel object to use in Word for find replace

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 10:11 AM PST

I have heard this can be done, I'm just looking for examples.

I want to make it easier to manage find replace lists for a Word file where incorrect user input requires the list to be periodically revised to account for misspellings of organizations, companies, countries, cities, etc

This could actually several worksheets depending on the circumstances. For example, a find replace for names of countries and another for companies.

I was unable to find a discussion I read a long time ago.

Somewhat complicated Word Merge problem

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 09:05 AM PST

I am attempting to create the merge document for tax letters.  The data will be coming from our database in Excel format (can use csv if that is easier).  Some of the payments had multiple applications and these are split out in the same row.  Other payments from the same individual are on different rows.  The ID of the constituent or the receipt number (all the same for all the payments) can be used for the key field.  I've attempted to use the coding from a knowledge base article about merging to a directory.


Currently, I have:


{if{mergeseq} = "1" "Date


Receipt #: {ReceiptNo}

Account: {ID}


{Addressee}

{Address}


Legal goobledegook


{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}" ""}{Set Place1{ID}}{if{Place2}<>{Place1} "(page break)Date


Receipt #: {ReceiptNo}

Account: {ID}


{Addressee}

{Address}


Legal goobledegook


{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}" "{Date}      {Application}    {Amount}"}{Set Place2{ID}}




I am having a few issues:


How to line the payment list up consistently so it is in 3 nicely formatted columns (Date aligned, Application, which is variable length, aligned and amount  aligned), preferably with a header.


It is working for the most part but when it adds the second row of payment information, it adds 2 extra line spaces between the payments.


How do I reasonably get the second application in a row in there?  I cannot change the export process to place each application in a separate row.


In a perfect world, the letter would also include the ID and Receipt number in the footer of the letter (in case it goes over to two pages).



The file I am attempting to use as a template was originally created in a much earlier version of Word and we are on a different database now that doesn't work the same with exporting, etc.  Those are two of the complications.  For aligning the columns mentioned above, the {advance} command was used but it is not working correctly and merges the fields, not the data. 


Any help is appreciated.  I really would not care to manually remove line breaks from thousands of letters.  If this is not appropriate to ask here, please let me know.











The Grammar checker is not working as expected

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 07:29 AM PST

Hi,

The Spelling checker is indeed working. However, I have typed several sentences with wrong grammar and Word does not recognize the mistakes. For example, I typed the following sentences:

The boys is going to park.

I does not do it.

I have going to California since September.

I are baboon.

The best things in life is free.


When I click the Spelling and Grammar checker, Word says "Spelling and grammar check complete. You're good to go!"


Is this a limitation of Word?


Thanks,


Lester

Misbehaving table

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:44 PM PST

I have a half-page table of not too complex a layout which, every time I open my document, has its format changed. Is there anyplace I can  post this table and get comments on how to handle it with styles or any way to prevent it from changing? No existing style comes close to the layout I want.

Word needs a style which says, "do not change this." Seems simple enough.

This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 09:21 PM PST

Hello,

I just went to use Word 2013 and am getting the error "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked". Actually it is happening with ALL of my office products now.


Here are the answers to the questions you may be ready to ask me
  • My product level is Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium -- I pay a monthly fee for this and up until 5 minutes ago it has never given me any issues. Oh, yes, my subscription is up to date dn I just used Word yesterday and it worked fine.

  • It is for ALL MS products

  • NOTHING is locked. 


Here is what I can not do because of this error:
  • Type anything
  • Create ANY new file
  • USE the product



I looked all over the internet and I saw the same answers over and over again. Document must be locked bla bla. (I am TRYING to open a NEW document so it would be impossible for anything to be locked...nothing opens.


Also, the very first screen that lets you choose your template is skipped. I see it for about 1 second and then it's gone and Word just opens up a blank document. 



If you have ANY suggestions I would appreciate it because all of the other answers out there aren't helping at all. 


Thank you,

Wally

Differrent line layouts

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 08:47 PM PST

I have noticed many times that as I switch between Draft View and Print Layout View, the number of characters on a line changes, with Draft mode putting more text on each line. (In both modes, the text measures 4.7" inches wide, correct for 6" page width and 0.5" margins and .3" gutter. The letter spacing is Normal.) This inconsistency makes it hard to do several kinds of checks at once as I go through the document. Does anyone know why this exists and if there is any way around it? 

Office is Busy Notification

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 07:24 PM PST

For about two weeks now I have been receiving an "Office is Busy" notification saying that WINWORD.EXE can't be used right now, but that Microsoft will should be getting it back up soon, whenever i try to open any of the Office 365 entities. As a student I need to get these up and running again, and it is very frustrating that Microsoft thinks that two weeks up "should be back up soon" is soon enough. Please help.

Microsoft Office 2013 Error - "WINWORD.EXE - Application Error"

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 03:47 PM PST

I can't seem to open any Microsoft Office 2013 program. 

I haven't done anything to Microsoft Word 2013 but am very much in the need to use it during holiday break for a school project. I've got access to other computers, but I would also like to fix this one as well.

My dad bought Microsoft Office 2013 and I've been able to use it perfectly fine since July 2013. I try and open it and all of a sudden, I get a WINWORD.EXE - Application Error saying "The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000002) occured in the application at location 0x758ec41f". I've scanned my computer multiple times (Norton Security Suite) and checked for Windows Updates and nothing appears to work. Don't need this fixed as soon as possible, but hopefully soon.

Please help a student that would like to write his report on his own laptop!


Oh and that's what the message looks like. Thanks in advance!

Problem with print parameters in spreadsheet.

Thanx for the link but I already tried the update. The issue is not a memory

automatic updates) and the drivers used in the HP2575. HP is no help. They
say it is an MS issue.

Problems emailing from my Microsoft Works 8 program.

I would check the following first

1.Default Email program as mentioned by Michael.

2.I would also check another program on my machine that sends email
( Example - Wordpad). Launch Word pad and try File -> Send
If the send feature works for the other application then we can
isolate the problem to Works Specific or an issue with the email
prorgram on your machine.

You might want to pick up Works 8 (or wait for Works 9).

Both will work well with Vista and they have gone through all the security

OpenOffice has been through.

Opening the Reviewing Pane for even a moment causes the program to lag terribly

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:46 PM PST

Hello there, I am editing a fairly long document in Word (~250 pages). On my machine at home, which has Windows 7 and Office 2010, I have no trouble with it. It saves quickly and I have no issues editing the document. When I open it on my computer at work, which has Windows 7 and Office 2013, everything goes okay until I open the reviewing pane. Even after I close the reviewing pane, the document becomes incredibly slow and freezes up for 5-10 seconds every time I make any edits to the text--the program basically becomes unusable. If I save the document (also takes FOREVER to save, at least 30 seconds, whether or not I've opened the review pane during that work session), close Word, and reopen it, it works fine until the point that I have to open the reviewing pane. For the record, I try to avoid opening it as much as possible, but occasionally I have to insert comments into the document and it opens automatically. Any ideas?

*I should add that it now appears to be freezing even after I close the program and reopen it. I can't type two letters without it freezing for up to a minute. I have never been so frustrated in my whole life!!

failing with mail merge

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:09 PM PST

I'm trying to use Word's mail merge. I have a database of addresses in a Word document. As in the past, I'm trying to use mailings-select recipients-use existing list. Since I have a database of addresses, I simply select this document, as I've done in past years. When I selected it, I get the error that is unable to open the file. I noticed that this version seems to have created some kind of Access database file, which seems to obsolete those prior databases created in Word. When I open the database, I then changed the type of file to a Word file, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't.

Is there any way that I can use my Word document of databases like they have in the past? i don't have Access.

Adding a "Print this page" hyperlink in a Word document (that will also work when saved to PDF)

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 11:08 AM PST

I have a newsletter that I created in Microsoft Word. I want to include a hyperlink that says "print this page" (or something like that) that when clicked would open the print dialog and allows users to print the document without having to go to "file" > "print" or use "ctrl"+"p" or anything like that. I added a hyperlink to our newsletter's website and having it as a clickable link has increased traffic. I want to encourage printing of this document and allow users to just clicks the "print" link in the document and have the print dialog pop up.  I plan on distributing this Word-created newsletter as a PDF (exporting the file and saving it as a PDF).


Is there a way to create a link or button in Microsoft Word that opens the print dialog box? Is there a way to do this that will also work when the document is saved and sent as a PDF?

Various Office 13 problems

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

Endnotes:

1) How do you change the display of endnotes?  This is not referring to the Footnote and Endnote gadget, which allows changes to the numbering system etc.  I would like to place my note designators in [brackets], or display them as [Note #], or something else.

 

2) Hitting the "Show Notes" link seems to do nothing at all.  It certainly doesn't show the notes.

 

3) When inserting an endnote, I get the note number, as I should, but I then have to scroll to the end on my document to find the blank note to enter the text.  Also, the endnote does not automatically default to my designated endnote Style.  And I then have to scroll back to find my place within my manuscript.  There doesn't seem to be a way to automatically re-find the place.  How do I get it to do these things automatically?

 

Styles:

1) In creating a new style, none of the "Modify Style" settings (i.e., "New documents based on this template") seem to work. New documents and documents converted from other word processors revert to the defaults (even when I take the time to open a new (blank) document, change all the default styles and only then transfer the document to be the converted into Word). New documents have to be changed laboriously to what I want every time.  How do I change these defaults to make them stick?

 

2) How do I change the default display of an opened document to include the Styles side bar?

 

3) How do I change the order in which styles are displayed to group the ones I actually use near the top of the Styles side bar?

 

Custom formatting of hyperlinks is acting up

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 10:27 PM PST

I am having a problem with the custom formatting of text hyperlinks. First, it does not take effect immediately after I modify the Hyperlink style; I have to open and close by clicking OK the "Edit hyperlink" dialog box (w/out changing anything), before it will apply the new style. Second, when I test the hyperlink by Ctrl-clicking on the hyperlinked word, it reverts back to the original formatting and the only way I can bring it back to the way it should be is, again, to open and close, by clicking OK, the "Edit hyperlink" box. Is there a fix for this?

Page border won't display, even when the Preview shows that it has been set

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 09:50 PM PST

I see now what's happening. If I use "Apply to: This section" and the section happens to be "Continuous" and shorter than a page and doesn't cover the start of any page, it ignores it completely. The cursor has to be inside a section that covers the start of a page, before it will apply a page border to that section's page. I was hoping that it would box a run-in (inset) section, not an entire page, but I can't find a way to do that. The inset contains a table, so I can't use the regular border to do that. So finally, I found not the best way to do this, by adding a rectangle shape from the Insert tab and made it go behind text. The drawback is that if I add more lines to this inset, I will have to readjust the bottom of the rectangle. I haven't tried the textbox option for anything this big, before: is that the way to go? Will it accept all the formatting one normally does within the document proper, including accepting bookmarks and hyperlinks to it from the main text?


There used to be the "frame" feature in older versions of Word, that appears to no longer be available with the 2013 version, right?

Microsoft Office Document Scanning

Open Office problems to Microsoft Word

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 07:46 PM PST

Recently a friend was talking about "Open Office" so I decided to download it to check it out. On doing so I noticed that the icons on some of my documents had changed. So I investigated & found that if I required a NEW WORD document I can no longer select from the "POP UP" Word Document only Text Document. How can I get this reverted back?
I have removed Open Office & tried System restore but neither works.

I am trying to add a new laptop to my active account.

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 06:58 PM PST

I keep getting the notice on my new laptop (windows8) saying - subscription has expired, most features of outlook have been disabled. One of the options is to reactivate by adding the computer to an active account. I have microsoft 2007(Windows7) on my desktop but it isn't recognizing my password. I changed it and it isn't recognizing my new one. Can I use my desktop account?

Delay in opening Office 2013 applications

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 05:02 PM PST

Original Title: Microsoft 2013 Student

 

When I press on my Office icon on the desktop, it always "gets things ready" for about five minutes, all the way to 100 %, but then gives out. It then does nothing for the next ten minutes, and finally opens word, or PowerPoint, ect. Indeed it opens, eventually, but it takes much too long. Then, in MS Word, another problem arises. Microsoft says something along the lines of "we may seem unresponsive, but we're just running background files," but when I finally click something (anything), it gives me a "Word is not responding" notification, then I have to try again four or five times until I get the right combination of clicks and patience. In short, just opening Office is a half-hour affair. And I just got my surface pro 2 today, brand new.

Word 2010 too much blank space before page break

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 04:18 PM PST

I have tried removing the text in that area and replacing it with plain text to now avail.

Office Windows not visible

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 07:59 PM PDT

Hi TJ,

it's good that you mention that this only happens in Word. Try the
following: quit Word, then go to ~/Library/Application
Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates and move the file called
"Normal.dotm" to your desktop. Every single Word document is based on that
template, unless you use special custom templates. Relaunch Word (doing so
will force it to create a fresh template, as it can't find the original
Normal template in the folder in which it expects it to be), and see if that
changes anything. If it does, feel free to delete the copy on your desktop.
If it doesn't, post back and we'll clear out some preferences.

Can Office for Mac automatically determinethe proper spelling language?

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 09:36 AM PDT

com wrote: 

Hi,

You can tell Office which language's spelling tools to use by selecting
the text and then choosing which language applies to the selected text.

1. Select a word (or more) text.
2. Choose Tools-->Language.
The Language selection box opens.
3. Select a language to use.
4. Click the OK button.

Apple+a selects all the text in a document, so you could set an entire
document's language at once.

Upgrade to new Business Edition

Posted: 07 Sep 2009 05:07 PM PDT

Right, the black box simply is a new marketing approach with Mac Office
2008. The bundle targets medium to large business users. It's the same core
products as in any other "edition" of 2008, however, except for the EWS --
not a new version/release of Office. The only other difference is what comes
bundled with Office 2008 in that edition, as Michel detailed in his reply.

Changing language via update or trial version + original SN

Posted: 07 Sep 2009 12:53 PM PDT

Office for Mac is language-specific -- you cannot change the language of the
Menus & dialogs to anything other than the language version purchased. Also,
each language version can only be updated by the updater for that language.

AFAIK, the Try & Buy trial version cannot be *activated* for anything other
than the 30-day free trial by way of just a key code. The wording of the KB
is ludicrous - it refers to "converting" the trial version then goes on to
describe how to purchase the retail version, remove the trial, then install
the retail using the product key that comes with it:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969826

IOW, If you want a "live" edition you have to buy a retail package or
purchase one of the downloadable editions of Office via the Mactopia web
site & use the perpetual license key that accompanies it.

product key question

Posted: 07 Sep 2009 06:42 AM PDT

Is this a retail (boxed) product or a download from the Mactopia site?

If a boxed package, the first step is to contact the vendor from whom it was
purchased. They should be able to accommodate an exchange if needed.

If it was a download or if the vendor gives you a hard time, contact
Microsoft Customer Service -- use the phone number on this page:

Unfortunately, this isn't something that can be resolved in the newsgroups.

Incompatibility with Office for Windows

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 02:39 PM PDT

I share your sentiments & I won't dispute any of your points, but at the
same time there are at least 2 factors that have to be considered;

1- Economic feasibility, return on investment, etc., and

2- Distinctions between operating systems which physically prevent 100%
compatibility ‹ such as lack of ActiveX support by the Mac OS.

As Adam indicated, though, you aren't communicating with Microsoft or Apple
here. The newsgroups are predominantly visited by users who have to contend
with the same existing conditions you face. There's nothing we can do to
change the reality of the situation or implement the software differently
than how it's designed. You're certainly welcome to plead your case but
you're shouting into a hole here :-) Try the channels provided for feedback:

word and excel duplexing print problem

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 02:15 PM PDT

Sorry the info doesn't help, but I believe it's an issue that will have to
be pursued with HP and/or Apple.

The programs do not do any printing, they simply call for services from the
OS which then invokes the driver available for the selected device. The app
then hands off the data to be processed. It's the responsibility of the
device & its driver to do so accurately. The fact that you're experiencing
the same issue with a variety of apps strongly suggests that the fault lies
with the HP driver. There is nothing you can do from within any app to
change printer settings or behaviors which aren't provided for by the
driver, and those options need to be delivered by the OS.

Unless it's from you, there is a post in Apple Discussions on the same
issue, but as yet there are no replies. You might keep an eye on that:

Otherwise drag your Documents folder to Shared. Then switch to the new User
and drag the Documents folder to the desktop in the new User. Drag
individual folders to the new Documents folder. You don't want to use the
root Documents folder.

If you run into permissions problems....

Apple has a utility to reset permissions inside a user's account (home
folder).

Boot from the Leopard DVD and go to the 'Reset Password' area. Somewhere
in there is a way to normalize perms for each user.

Resetting home folder permissions on MacFixIt might be helpful too.

Running both 2004 & 2008

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 06:36 AM PDT

I'm afraid that cannot easily be done... as long as you're double-clicking
icons in a Finder window OS X will launch the more current version unless
2004 is already running. The easiest options are:

1- Set Word 2004 to automatically launch on login, or

2- Drag the file icon to the Word 2004 icon in the Dock, or

3- Ctrl/Right-Click the file & select Word (11.5.5) from the Open With
options, or

4- Launch Word 2004 & use the File> Open command (Cmd+O)

BTW: Are you aware that you don't *need* Office 2008 in order to work with
files that are in OXML format? There is a free converter available from;

<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_AddTools&fid=DFD93
FB0-1CF7-4835-892D-A74FAE8D2F30#viewer>

The converter does not enable or support feature specific to Office 2008 but
that may provide all you require. It just depends on what you need to be
able to do once you open the file.

What makes you think you can't "use the product key"? Have you actually
tried & failed or are you just assuming :-)? If you've tried & failed you'll
need to provide a complete detailed description of the situation including
the content of any messages produced by the attempt.

As long as you aren't installing to a system on a network where the same key
has been used on another Mac there should be no problem. The keys do not get
"used up" -- you can install using the same key as many times as you wish so
there's nothing to physically to prevent installing on the new system.

Additionally, you aren't even in violation of the EULA if the Mac on which
the key was previously used is no longer functional. If the Mac were still
in service, technically Office would need to be removed from it before using
the same key for another installation.

Office 2008 causes fatal conflict("black screen of death") when trying to save

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 12:22 AM PDT

Although you may get some suggestions here it appears to me that this is
primarily a system/network configuration issue. Most of the contributors
here are users of the software, not systems analysts, technicians or
developers. Unfortunately, we can't interpret these cryptic, lengthy logs
any better than you can :-) so it's pointless to post them.

As Rob suggests there could be a hardware involvement but if it's occurring
on multiple systems I'm not sure that would be the case. If you can save to
a flash drive you can probably save to the local HD then transfer the file
in the same way -- unless something about the "lockdown" also prevents you
from saving locally. If you can't even write to the local HD it would
further suggest that the configuration is at the root of the problem. Many
apps -- especially Office apps -- need to be able to write a number of files
in various locations in order to properly operate at all, but denial of that
capability doesn't typically result in kernel panics, system failure or
restart demands. The program being used at the time is simply calling for a
service from the OS & the network, so whatever is causing the critical
failure is well beyond the reach of the program.

It might be better to post to one of the appropriate Forums in Apple
Discussions, although I seriously doubt that it can be resolved at the user
level. IMHO, your IS people are going to have to do some serious revamping
in order to rectify the situation.

Yes. It first updated the MAU, then it did the download for 12.1.0, but
after restarting I was still at 12.0.0. I download from Mactopia the 12.1.0
updater and that installed. I restarted and used the updater from Mactopia
for 12.2.0, restarted and did the same for 12.2.1. Next I updated to the EWS
version for Exchange compatibility.

I did have Rosetta installed. This is required to see the first update for
MAU.
