| It has now been two weeks since I have been able to use Microsoft Office Home 365 Posted: 25 Jan 2014 01:52 PM PST Hey to all you 365r's,
Does anybody have a solution to another one of Microsoft's new OS (only kidding). I don't know what to think about this problem. I am tired of not being able to enjoy my computer. No, I do not have an IT Certificate, but I think owning a Microsoft product should require that you have one. It is bad enough, that we don't get paper manuals anymore. Oh, I love Microsoft, don't get me wrong. I really was enjoying Office 365 until it had a meltdown. So far, the Office 365 on my new 27" Imac looks beautiful and a bit different than Microsoft. It looks kind of classy on the Imac.
I have owned Windows cpu's since they were born. I could never understand why my daughter, a creative designer only used Apple computers. Now, 15 years later, she has done more creative, constructive, and has fun on her machine than I have on mine. I know I am going to get a lot of different responses with this email, but hey isn't there something called "freedom of speech" well, knock yourself out, but if you have come up with a solution on how to get this working again, please let me know.
Thanks you all, and have a wonderful day,

| Autorecover HELP HELP! Posted: 25 Jan 2014 01:42 PM PST So, I was in the process of writing what is probably the most important word document i've ever typed. As I went to save (I know i should have before but I was so into it i didn't) the Save dialog froze and the Not Responding thing came up. I chose to restart the programme and two autorecover files appeared. One was from ages ago. The other was from 21:26 (it crashed at 21:25 strangely). I clicked on it but an error dialog came up saying the .EXE file 'could not be opened'. I clicked okay and it was lost. Tried reopening word and that auto recover had gone. I'm using Office 2010 on Windows 8.1 and I looked under Recent>Recover Unsaved Documents but the folder was empty.
Could someone please help me find it in temp or ~ files as I'm so upset right now? :( |
| Word 2013 print date and path Posted: 25 Jan 2014 01:05 PM PST In the past I could print the date and path on each word document that I create with one click. I have been attempting to set this up in Word 2013 but cannot figure out how to do it. Does anyone know how to do this so with one click I can insert a header which will have the date and path in each new document? |
| Hidden Frames or Pictures in Word doc Posted: 25 Jan 2014 12:14 PM PST I seem to have a bunch of hidden picture frames or text boxes or something in a Word 2010 doc. I tried searching for them with ^g and it appears to find them but I can't see them. Even if I highlight the page, they don't always show.
I also tried this VBA code to remove them but they're still there.
Sub RemoveFrames()
Dim frm As Frame
For Each frm In ActiveDocument.Frames
frm.Delete
Next frm
End Sub
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. |
| Multilevel numbering will NOT work even with all the right boxes checked AND ListGal.dat deleted in both vers. 210 & 2013 Posted: 25 Jan 2014 11:34 AM PST Hi, I am having the same problem (in Office 2010 & 2013) that Word will not automatically update the multilevels upon entering and tabbing. A work around is entering and tabbing to the next spot and then clicking on the multilevel button and then the multilevel of choice-EACH TIME I change to a new level. I know it worked previously last year on the 2013 because I typed a ML research paper for a kiddo and taught them how to do it. Now it is not working on either machine. ?????
I checked with MS online help and it said to make sure that the Automatic number/bullets list checkboxes under Options/Proofing/AutoCorrectOptions/AutoFormatAsYouType/ApplyAsYouType are checked. They were. So I unchecked them, closed Word, restarted computer, restarted Word, checked them back on, closed Word, restarted computer. Still not auotmatic updating.
So I then checked what Stefan Blom and others suggested:. To check the box for Set left and first indent with tabs and backspaces, but it was already checked. Repeated the procedure above as with the other checkboxes but again with no success.
Even tried Stefan Blom's suggestion: ... However, you may want to start by exiting Word and deleting the ListGal.dat file in your user profile, just in case. You'll find the file in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Word folder. To open the folder, hold the Windows key as you press R; in the Run dialog box, type %appdata%\Microsoft\Word and press Enter.
Without success either....
Any further suggestions? Thanks, ToBT |
| Office 365 Home Premuim - Word and Excel 2013 Lagging and shows not responding Posted: 25 Jan 2014 10:57 AM PST Hi ... I have here a Sony Vaio laptop connected to home network via wireless (Broadcom). No problem with internet surfing or streaming. No issue with networking experience. However, when I launch Word 2013 or Excel 2103 (only 2 applications I used commonly), it started up and display the usual template selection. From here onwards, it starts to lag and show either Word or Excel not responding. It lags and for every click or character I type it takes awhile for it to change or display. I cannot get much done. Can someone help me with this. Thanks in anticipation. Regards, Mahmood Ahmad |

| Defaulting focus to a custom tab in Backstage? Posted: 25 Jan 2014 10:13 AM PST I've added a custom tab (Corporate tools) to the Ribbon and a custom tab (Informations requises) to the backstage of an addin (MyCorporateRibbon.dotm) I created.
I placed the Ribbon custom tab first (before the Home tab) so it gets focus by default the way the Home tab usually has it and I placed the Backstage tab at the top (insertBeforeMso=TabInfo) so it has focus by default (the way the tab Informations usually has it) when no other behavior is specified (when you open Word, its Recent that has focus, when you click on the QAT print preview its Printing that has focus, etc.)
It does behave like that but only from the SECOND show of the backstage .
Example:
1) Launch Word 2) Go backstage: Recent tab is selected (thats normal); select a document from the list. 3) Go backstage: Information tab is selected 4) Click on any other RIBBON tab (ex: Insert) 5) Click on backstage: Informations requises (custom tab) is selected
From now on, it remains the default if no other normal behavior preceeds. Unless you open another document or create new on. In which case we are back to #3.
Example2:
1) Launch Word 2) Go backstage: Recent tab is selected (thats normal); click new document OR staying on Corporate tab (which has focus because its the first tab on the Ribbon) use the new document button to create a new document (from whichever template you fancy) 3) Go backstage: Information tab is selected 4) Click on any other RIBBON tab (ex: Insert) 5) Click on backstage: Informations requises (custom tab) is selected
From now on, it remains the default if no other normal behavior preceeds. Unless you open another document or create new on. In which case we are back to #3.
I do not understand why it does that but clearly, something does not initialize at the right time....
Is there a way to bypass or catch the events open document or create new so that it gets to the #3 right away. I want my user to see the custom tab the first time it goes backstage of a new document or a newly opened document.

| Problems with printing 8 pages on one sheet - margins seem askew and uneven? Posted: 25 Jan 2014 03:41 AM PST I'm attempting to print an A7 book - that is, 1/8th of a normal A4 piece of paper - and I did a test print of the first 8 pages, using Microsoft Word's "Print 8 pages on one page" feature - however, when they printed out, the spacing between the pages was uneven, with a greater gap to the left of the page, meaning when the signatures were folded and put together, the spacing between them was off, and looked untidy. Some pages were further towards the top, some towards the margin, some towards the bottom - it just looked extremely unprofessional. Therefore, I ask - is there any way of fixing this so that they are all EVENLY spaced across the page, so they can be cut to small A6 signatures of 4 pages, without there being any bizarre unequal spacing issues? |

| "Print custom range" does not work properly in Microsoft Word 2010 Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:42 PM PST "Print Custom Range" dos not work properly in Microsoft Word 2010. I input for pages: 1, 3, 5, 7 and got only pages 1 and 5. I repeated this process after Restarting the computer and once again printed only pages 1 and 5. Does anyone have a solution? My configuration: Windows 7, Professional -- Service Pack 1 Installed RAM: 4.00 GB 32-bit Operating System Microsoft Word 2010 Version: 14.0.7106.5003 Microsoft Support Engineer, Ratandeep replied on December 12, 2013: Please post your query in Microsoft office forums. Note: Original query posted to Microsoft Windows forums on October 23, 2013 Additional information since original post: -
Printer is: Ricoh Aficio SP C210SF. <Multifunction Color Laser Printer/Scanner/Copier> -
Downloaded latest driver <"new driver"> from Ricoh web site: Conclusion: Problem unlikely to be a driver only issue. -
I have recently tried the Print Custom Range on numerous Word documents and found the following: -
All documents print properly except those containing an "Attachment 1". Attachment 1 is a four page graphical representation of information from a web site taken several years ago. I did redact the original document to remove sensitive but unclassified information from it and it is under the file name "Test Document - 22-Jan-2014". When I tried to print pages 1, 3, 5, 7 I print only pages 1 and 5 just as originally reported. I do not want to make Attachment 1 available to the general public at this time. I want to make the original non-redacted version of the Test Document public in the near future because it impacted over 98% of the voting public. I am sure the Microsoft software engineers will be able to resolve the Print Custom Range problem with my "Test Document - 22-Jan-2014". How do I go about sending this "Test Document - 22-Jan-2014" privately? Thank you, Bill Wise 24-Jan-2014 |

| Office 2013 (all programs) crashed after saving as pdf Posted: 24 Jan 2014 07:39 PM PST Office 2013 came installed on my computer (which cost extra). All of my office software crashed after saving as a pdf. I tried running diagnostics on it, but the program told me it couldn't fix the problem until I upgraded to windows 8.1. So I upgraded. Now I can't find Office 2013 anywhere on my computer. It just disappeared. I'm a student and I can't afford to buy this software again. Please help.

| Selection.Goto behavior Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:51 PM PST Is there a way of knowing when the following code fails?
Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToGraphic, Which:=wdGoToNext, count:=1, Name:=""
ie when there is no "next graphic". Currently it just does nothing and continues, which is not good.
Ideally I'd like the same behavior as Selection.Find.Execute, which returns false if the find fails, but the API definition for Selection.GoTo does not mention any return value.

| I have a problem creating a TOC. Posted: 24 Jan 2014 05:27 PM PST When I create an entry for the TOC, it is capturing an entire paragraph and not just the topic words. The TOC then contains all that information. I have to go in and delete the words not wanted to create a simple looking TOC. What is worse, if I want to add an ebtry, every entry already in the list is refreshed and has all the previously deleted information reinstated. I have to go back and edit out all the extra information again and again, and again.
What am I doing wrong?

| How do I create an index without having to search for terms? Posted: 24 Jan 2014 05:20 PM PST It may have been an early version of Word or possibly some other processor but the method to create a index was much easier that it seems to be now. I recall ckicking on "Create Index" and the system would scan all words and create an alphabetic list eliminating duplicates and indicating the pages that the word was found. There were two lists, one for common words (a, the, and, ...) which could be deleted as needed and all the rest of the words similarly listed but one then deleted those that one did not want in the index.
Granted, in a very long document, this would have its problems in length but I still believe it is easier than looking through the document and going though a routine of mouse calisthenics to place the entry. At any rate, none of my work is that log.
I would also like to have it hyper-linked so that when one clicked on the word, one was delivered to that page (those pages).
Had this option disappeared? Might it be that I am just not seeing it?
Maybe somenoe can tell me what the softeware was if not MS Word.

| Editing Word 2013 Posted: 24 Jan 2014 04:10 PM PST I have Word 2013 on Windows 8. After the 8.1 update, whenever I open a Word file it is in a non-editable mode. There is no ribbon. To edit it I have to copy the file (Ctrl A, Ctrl C, Ctrl V) to a new file.
I do not have this problem with Excel.
There is help for disabling edit, but none for enabling it. Is there a reason for this insanity?

| Word 2007 - Text Form Field (Calculate on exit) Issue Posted: 24 Jan 2014 03:26 PM PST Once I protect the document, and you can only tab thru the form fields created to enter data. I receive a pop up window on the fileds set to "Calculate on exit" This pop of field appears to be a custom pop up that I unknowingly created. The top of the pop up window has my phone number which was one of the date fields I created. ANY field checked to "Calculate on exit" will immediately display this custom pop up window after you tab thru the field.
Any suggestion where to turn this customized pop up window OFF? |
