Where are quick styles located for the various operating systems of windows and versions of microsoft word?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:16 PM PST


Greetings,


I am wondering if i could possibly get a definitive list as to where Quick Styles where stored on the various operating systems of windows and whether the version of word that is installed has an effect on where the quick styles are stored?

I am looking basically for Quick style location information for 

Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 8.1

Why when I import building blocks into another users folder are the colors changed in word.

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:09 PM PST


Hi community,

I am wondering with great anticipation why when I copy a buildings block template from one computer to another the primary colors represented on the building blocks( Cover page, Headers, Footers ect) change from red (my companies color) to blue? Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why this happens and how it might be remedied?


Thank You,

Cannot find new Word docs

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:00 PM PST

I have all my Word files on my computer. My secretary accesses those files through our peer to peer network; all her work is saved on my computer. But now I cannot find any of the documents she has prepared tor the last week or so. If I go through her computer, I can find the documents. According to the path name at the top of the document window, those documents are right where they should be: on my computer. But I cannot find them when I try to access them from my computer.

My secretary and I both have new Win 7 computers with all documents from all programs stored on my computer. What's up?????

MS Word 2010 AutoText Creating and Inserting

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 01:46 PM PST

I create many autotexts that I use all the time.  When I start to type it, it may or may not show up.  When it does show up, if I have created it at the beginning of a sentence, it will only insert and the beginning of a sentence.  If I created it in the middle of a sentence, it will only insert in the middles of a sentence, etc.  and therefore, I cannot get it to insert anywhere else.  i.e. on a label or in a form template.  In MS Word 2003, when you created it, it would insert anywhere you wanted it to.  Should the Building Block fields be different than the defaults shown?  Why doesn't this work?  I have checked my settings under File / Option / Proofing and Advanced, and the all look correct,

 

 

 

 

 

Broken view for Word 2013? Don't know what I've done?!

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 01:32 PM PST

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure what I did but my page just went from being in this format:



To this format without the grey to the side and the visible margins:



It's still in 'Print Layout' and nothing I do seems to work. It just scrolls horizontally slightly and the images I've put in have vanished.

Is there any way to reset the work?

HELP!!!!

Blank Pages in Merged Document

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 12:42 PM PST

I have a mailing in which I need to produce a two-page letter for some entries in a data file but not for others. Basically, I have a list of countries, and those in the data in the listed countries should print but anyone else shouldn't. The list of countries is too long to use the edit recipient list/filter/query options route (19 currently, though it may grow longer before we go into production).  I tried a string of nested IF statements to check the country's name with further IFs within them to select the correct letter (there are multiple versions, based on another code in the data) and then INCLUDETEXT to pull the text into the document. This works great, except that every time there's a record in the data that shouldn't print, the merge produces a blank page.

Is there any way to either suppress the blank page during the merge or to seek and destroy blank pages in the merged document before printing? I'd rather not have to resort to manually stripping out the records we don't want from the data, because we'll need to do this repeatedly with a number of very large files, each with hundreds of records.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Why do I not get an option to "Edit in Word"?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 11:11 AM PST

Team is using SharePoint online.  When someone sends me a link to a document on SharePoint and I click on that link, the doc opens in read mode but only gives me the option to "Edit in Browser".  There's no "Edit in Word" option.  I have full edit rights.  If I navigate to that same doc starting at Sharepoint.com, and open the doc in Firefox (my default browser), I then also have the "Edit in Word" option.

Unfortunately, you can't easily tell where the file is located from the URL that is given, so navigating to it (as an work around) is not simple.

Office 2010 listed printers not installed on my computer

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 10:16 AM PST

I just step up a new computer with using Windows 8 Pro and Office 2010.  I plugged in my printer, it wouldn't work so I moved it to another USB port and then another.  I have it working  now.  But all my Office programs lists 4 of the same device (1), (2), (3) with pending jobs.  They aren't any extra printers listed in the printers area of Windows.  How do I get rid of the ones listed in Office?  

Problems with Office 2010 installed on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 09:52 AM PST

I purchased a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro recently. Since I am an educator, I was able to purchase Office 2010 on CD a while back from my school district. I installed the software on my Yoga, rather than purchase Office 2013 from Microsoft. The problem is that, when I try to open a document that I created (Word, for example), I get a dialog box stating that I do not own Office 2013. I end up having to open Word 2010 as though I am creating a new document, and then go to File, Open, and then find my document (as opposed to just going into my Skydrive documents and clicking directly on the document I want). Then, the Yoga hems and haws trying to figure out what to do before my document finally opens. How can I get my Yoga to recognize Office 2010 (Word, Excel, Publisher, etc.) as my default Office program?

MS Word printing an extra sheet.

Word Document Corrupt

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 09:15 AM PST

I have a Sandisk Cruzer U3 flash drive.   I have some Word documents and Excel and some PDF files this drive.   After I connect the drive to my computer, I can see all of my files and documents on this drive.  They have the correct file extension.  The Word documents were saved as a 97-2003 document.   However, when I try to open the document in Word 2010, I get these funny looking Chinese characters and symbols.  

I have tried everything to fix the document.   No, I don't have any viruses on the flash drive.

Is the flash drive corrupt or the Word document?

Office 2007 (Word)

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:51 AM PST

After creating a document in MS Word, and I print it, it will print a page with the following information prior to printing the document.



If I want to print a quantity of 3documents, than before each document it will print the sheet with the above information, in other words I end up using 6 sheets of paper where only three are usable.

Question is, how can I disable this, so that it will only print the desired documents?

Word 2007 - Bullet is changing font style - How do I permanently remove Font Style i.e. Bold, Regular etc. from Bullet Profile?

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:29 AM PST

Bullet is changing font style - How do I permanently remove Font Style i.e. Bold, Regular etc. from Bullet Profile?

 

I am editing an already typed document and have changed the bullet from a circle to a square bullet. I have also changed the alignment.

 

This is 50/50 going well.

 

The problem is that the Bullet Style is saving the font as 'regular', when it is a mix of regular and bold text;

 

Example

  • This is an example of set out.

Sometimes it leaves the text as originally formatted, sometimes it doesn't, and it is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

 

I have already right clicked the saved Bullet Style and deleted 'regular' from the font type, but it keeps coming back.

 

Does anyone have a permanent solution for this? Would be very much appreciated.

"Recent Folders" in Word incorrectly redirect to top folder

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 08:14 AM PST

Using Word 2013 on Windows 8.1, when in the "Save As" area, clicking on on a folder underneath "Recent Folders," the links are redirecting to the wrong folder. No matter what folder I click on, the location that gets brought up in the "File Save" dialogue box will always be the location of whatever folder is at the top of the "Recent Folders" list. 

Interestingly, if I click on one of the folders that is not redirecting properly and select "copy path to clipboard," the correct file path will be copied to the clipboard, but when it comes to actually using the "Recent Folders" feature, all folders except the top folder will always incorrectly redirect. Clearing out the recent folders (using "remove from list" on each folder) doesn't solve the issue.

Word 10 - Envelope Printing problem

How to Use a Macro to Delete Rows and Controls within a Grouped Control

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 05:40 AM PST

I have created a form in MS Word 2010 using a table structure and placing plain text controls where I want the user to type (see below ... I placed it in design mode so you could see wher ethe controls are).  In order for the user to use the tab to jump between fields, I placed the entire table in a rich text control group.  It works perfect (locking text I don't want touched and allowing the user to jump to each field).  However, they want the user to add or delete rows and controls in the Experience section depending on how many Projects they worked on.  I could do this with macros; however, the only way I can delete the rows with a macro is to put it in design mode, delete the row, then take it out of design mode.  Here in lies the problem, the macro will stop running as soon as it puts it in design mode.  Is there any work around for me?  Thank you in advance for any ideas.

List style disappeared

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 04:46 AM PST

I recently set up a numbered list style, as per Shauna Kelly's instructions in her article 'How to create a numbered headings or outline numbering'. At some point my document crashed and the list style seemed to disappear. The numbering I had set up disappeared and I *think* one of the other built in numbering formats in the list library took over. 

I tried to recreate my list style 'Headings' but Word told me the style already existed, even though I couldn't find it.

My question is this: how do I reattach the list style to my document in the event of it crashing/disappearing. It had certainly disappeared from the 'list styles' area of the numbering box. And I had no idea where else to look for it!?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Borders automatically close between pages

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:59 AM PST

Windows 7, Office 2010, Word document:   I often put one border ('box') around 2 or 3 consecutive paragraphs to show that they are related.  If automatic pagination happens to fall in the midst of a paragraph, no problem:  The box stays open, i.e., no border at the bottom of one page or the top of the next, correctly indicating the the contents of the box continue from one page to the next.  The PROBLEM occurs when automatic pagination breaks *between* consecutive paragraphs in a single box, in which case Word closes the boxes (at the bottom of one page and the top of the next), making it seem like two discrete boxes when it's meant to 'read' as a single continuing box.  Any way to adjust the settings to do this?

Word 2013 corrupts certain fonts in text boxes when shadow applied to box

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:49 AM PST

Word 2013

We use Rockwell as a corporate font and are having problems with this and other fonts appearing 'corrupt' on screen in text boxes in specific circumstances.


  1. Create a text box.  (Insert>Shapes>Text box)
  2. Type some text in it.
  3. Change the font of that text to Rockwell (or Footlight MT, Algerian, Bell MT and quite a few others but not Arial or Calibri)
  4. Now select the text box and add a drop shadow to it (Format>Shape Effects>Shadow) and pick any Outer Shadow, and the font 'corrupts' so that the spaces become square boxes (although it does print OK).


This applies only to certain Microsoft-provided fonts and only to most Shape Effects (but not all: Shadow-Outer - a problem, Shadow-Inner - no problem).


What is going on here?

Word 2013 Tracked Changes Problem

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:20 AM PST

I have all kinds of problems with Word 2013, but one of the biggest is that when I make changes to a document, having switched on track changes, and then run a global check for a particular word/phrase, using Find and Replace, words that have been changed fail to show up completely. Thus, in the document I'm working on presently, I've changed 'the Abbey' to 'the abbey' in several places, but when I run Find and Replace (searching for 'the abbey [or 'the Abbey']) none of the amended instances show up (and no, I haven't got Match Case switched on). The same goes when I attempt to search for any other amended word; it simply doesn't show up.

Another strange anomaly is that when using Find and Replace, any word found in the top line of text showing on the screen is never 'grey shaded' for identification, unlike all of instances.

Can anyone help me with either of these? Despite countless searches online, hey've got me baffled.

Thanks

Nick

Layout Changes whenever I reopen the document

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 02:05 AM PST

Good day, I have been editing a document and everything seems to be fine. But whenever I close and reopen the document, certain layout changes has been made, like where I had chapter 5 starting on a new page with its body, the chapter 5 heading now would be on the bottom of the previous page with the body going on on the next. Why is this happening.

 

Also, chapter 1 starts on page 3, but on the index table it shows page 2 (my page numbering is correct) but then I will put my cursor infront of chapter one and push enter twice, so my "chapter 1" heading is still on the same page. NOW - When I update my index table, it will show chapter 1 is on page 3, which is correct - what can cause this?

My MS Word has gone loony! Chapter headings jumping round

Posted: 11 Feb 2014 12:11 AM PST

Good day, I've been editing a document which I want to use at work. I can edit it perfectly and everything will look right but when I either close and reopen the document or update my index table, the headings of my chapters ex. Section 5, has moved either back to the bottom of the previous page or to the bottom of its original page. So I will have chapter 5 on the bottom of a page with the rest of the paragraph on the next page. I made no use of any page breaks. so it can't be that. Like I said, While I edit the document, everything seems fine, but when I reopen the document or update the index table, it will shift. On the other hand, it is not the whole document, It will only happen to certain pieces in the document. Also, chapter one starts on page 3, But on the index it shows page 2, the I will push enter just twice moving "chapter one" down just 2 lines, then I'll update my table again then it will say page 3. This is driving me crazy. Please help!!!

Microsoft Word has Stopped Working, Need ADDITIONAL Guidance, Please!

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:05 PM PST

Just got a new PC, and installed Office 2013 yesterday.  I'm getting that "Microsoft Word has stopped working" error message.  I followed all the steps provided on the Microsoft site - installed Windows updates, ran Windows in 'safe mode'.  Word seems to work in 'safe mode'. 

 

The Microsoft instructions provided after running Word in 'safe mode' say:

 

If the Office application starts, there's a problem with the add-in you unchecked. We recommend you visit the company website for the add-in to check for an updated version you can install. If there isn't a newer version or if you don't need to use the add-in you can leave it unchecked or remove it from your PC.

 

 

What is the 'add-in you unchecked' referring to?  I don't recall unchecking any add-ins.  And it says to 'visit the company website for the add-in...' - what company/company website is this referring to?  These statements seem to apply to my issue, but I haven't got a clue what direction they are providing.

Mouse hover with track changes in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:04 PM PST

In my past experience with Word I could hover the mouse pointer over a change and a balloon would come up showing the author of the change and the date/time of the change. Ever since I have started using Word 2013 this feature has been spotty at best. It either only shows up for a split second or does not at all. I have read some suggestions that I do a repair of Word and when I do that it works for a short time but then stops working again. I have done both the short repair and a full repair.


I have done that probably a dozen times always with the same result - works for a short time and then stops. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Word to no avail. This has happened in both Win 8 and Win 8.1


Any suggestions?

Word multilevel list headings not working

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:20 PM PST

Hello,

After setting up a multilevel numbering list style (or whatever the correct terminology is) by following the instructions here:

http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html

What would prevent new lines from automatically entering the next number? Actually, the new line does not even keep the same heading since the cursor goes all the way back to the left margin and Styles switches to Normal. Here's an example that hopefully explains what I'm talking about:

Suppose you set up your outline headings to look like this — with the bracketed content not seen but showing the heading level (and Style) of its respective row:
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
and suppose the vertical bar at the end of the third line represents the location of your mouse cursor. 

Pressing the Enter key should give the following, right?
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    
[Heading 3]                        2.    |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
where the new line is at the same heading level [Heading 3] and the new number follows in sequence from the prior heading at that level.

However, pressing the Enter key in my case results in this:
------------------------------------------------------------
[Heading 1]        I.    
[Heading 2]                A.    
[Heading 3]                        1.    
[Normal]      |
[Heading 4]                                a.    
[Heading 5]                                        and so on...
------------------------------------------------------------
where the cursor goes all the way back to the left margin and the Styles menu shows that it switched from [Heading 3] to [Normal]. Every level behaves the same way. It's like it doesn't know to remain at the same Heading.

I would attach the file but I don't see a way to do that.  :P

Thanks

Microsoft Word - Cross References in Footnotes not Updating

Cross References in Footnotes not Updating

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 02:59 PM PST

Hi

I've a lengthy document (almost 200 pages, so far) with a ton of footnotes (also pushing 200, so far) and included in many of the footnotes are comments such as 'This is discussed further in Section "Section Name" - see page "pagenumber" ' and in these cases, I am using the cross-reference feature to insert the name of the section and its page number.  A truly wonderful feature, thank you, MSFT.

But.  The page numbers don't update.  I think I know why.  If I do a Ctrl-A then an F9, I notice that while the entire document text appears to be highlighted, the footnotes do not appear to be selected.  If I go through and individually update the cross-references, I believe that would work, but there are maybe 50 - 100 of these so far, hidden away in among the almost 200 footnotes, and the time it would take to find them and update them - well, it would be an hour or more each time.  Yuck.

Oh - doing a print or a print preview doesn't generate an update event in the footnotes, either.

So, my question.  How to get the cross references in footnotes to automatically update?

Many thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.

David.

Word Won't Open - "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly"

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 02:29 PM PST

After nearly a year of working fine (or close to fine), Microsoft Office started giving me problems yesterday.  It first said that it would not let me save a document because it did not recognize my registration.  I then then tried to do both the quick repair and online repair (supposed to fix all of the problems) and it made Office completely inaccessible.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled Word 2013 on Windows 8. When I try to open a Word doc (blank or saved file), I get the message "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly .  Would you like us to repair now?" If I click yes, it once again gives me the option of doing the quick or online repair.  Neither one works.

 

I tried to open PowerPoint to see the result and I got the error message "Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this product. You should repair the Office Program by using the Control Panel." This was the suggestion that got this looping series of problems started.

 

Help is appreciated.  I lost an entire day on this yesterday.

Need a little help formatting linked Excel info into Word 2007

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 01:16 PM PST

Good afternoon, and thank you for your time.  I can link cells of information from Excel to Word (just figured that out), but my text is not lining up properly when I look at it on the Word document or when it prints (it looks worse after printing). 

 

For example, I have typed "Test Info:" in a Word document and then to the right I've linked information from a spreadsheet.  The linked information looks as if it has a bar underneath in the gray box the linked information is located in, and when I print this to a PDF the linked information appears to be 1/2 a carriage return higher than the "Test Info:" text.  I've tried messing with the STYLES in Word, tried changing the formatting in Excel to align the text to the top, middle and bottom, matched formatting on both documents and I can't seem to get the text to line up properly.  When I highlight the pasted text, it does not include the extra space underneath the linked text. 

Lines in Tables

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:29 PM PST

Help!  I am using tables to create a nifty, neat form with a lot of fields in it.  I want the field titles ("Name:", for example) not to be underlined, but would like a bottom underline for cells where the answer should be written or typed.  When I select a cell and choose "underline" from the drop-down borders list, it sometimes works.  But other times it underlines the adjacent cell as well, or even the whole row.  Aaaarrgghh!!!  Is there a trick to making it submit to my firm but benevolent commands?

I have installed Office 365 University (cloud not media) on my Win 7 laptop.
No problems with registration, or installation.
I have Office 2010 installed and working. No problems.
Office 365 Apps: Outlook and Excel work. Word and PowerPoint do not work. Same loading issue.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 365.
Below are the events that happen after both installs.

I open Word 2013 by Start or clicking on a doucment. All results are the same as described below.
---------------------------
This message appears on opening Work 365 (Office 2013). I have clicked both Yes and No.

"This message can appear if, in a document you previously had open, you made changes to items such as styles and formatting, macros, toolbars, or AutoText, and those changes were not saved to the Normal template (Normal.dotm).

If you click Yes, the items in the Normal template, including any changes, will be available to all documents to which the Normal template is attached. If you click No, the changes will be discarded from the template. If you do not think you made changes to the Normal template, be cautious about loading it, because potentially malicious macros can be distributed in this way."
-------------------------- 
Next I get the Word screen with this:
"Microsoft Word isn't your default program for viewing and editing documents.
Do you want to select the file types that Word should open?"

I have selected both Yes and No.
For Yes I accept the defaults which has everything checked except rtf files from WordPad.
-------------------------  
Next I get the opening Word screen (blue on left) with Word logo and "Open Other Documents" and  "Search for online templates" on right.
I select the "Blank document" template or another template and I get:
"Microsoft Word has stopped working"
--------------------------- 
Here is a copy of my last event log from word. It has been the same every time.

Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4551.1505, time stamp: 0x525f7150

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I am a teacher and use word and excel daily.

Hebrew pastes in the wrong direction

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 12:19 PM PST

When I copy and paste Hebrew text from a website into Word, it pastes in the wrong direction (LtR instead of RtL). If I click the Right-to-Left Paragraph ribbon button, it right justifies the paragraph instead of changing the text direction. Pasting works correctly in Notepad, but not in Word.

Word keeps crashing!

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 11:39 AM PST

The past month or two Word has crashed every time I CUT (Ctrl-X) any text, resize the window, and occasionally paste (Ctrl-V) text. It says it has to close and restart. When it does it returns to my document but it is renamed "Name (Repaired)." This is so annoying. I rand all the fixes available, and then I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it from the original disk. No changes!! Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Force SAVE AS

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST

I need to create a template for meeting minutes that forces the minute taker to do a SAVE AS when they start taking minutes, in order to prevent them from saving over the template by accident.

 

Thanks!

Tablet

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 09:42 AM PST

Hi, I would like to buy a tablet with keyboard but before I do, I need to know that I will be able to buy Microsoft Word and be able to write documents on the tablet. I am thinking of purchasing the "Tagital® 7" Android 4.2 4GB MID Capacitive Touch Screen A13 Tablet". Would it work to be able to download and purchase Microsoft Word so that I can write documents with this particular tablet? Thanks so much.

Spell Check in Word 2013 not working on very large file

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 08:28 AM PST

I am using Word 2013 and WIndows 8.1.  I have a very long document (close to 700 pages) in which the Spell Check function will not work.  I do not want to break up the document because does so will mess up my footnotes.  Spell Check seems to have stopped working at about 300-400 pages.  Is this a limitation of Word 2013 or is there a way that I can get Spell Check to work again?  I already made sure that the "Do Not Check Spelling and Grammar" box is not checked.

Help! - How can I add pages to this Word template? Nothing is working

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 08:13 AM PST

Here is the template
 http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/proposal-modern-elegance-design-TC010379451.aspx

I need more of both the internal page formats. I've tried inserting page breaks, converting to compatability mode and going onto the designer tab, copying and pasting, everything I could find in the support forums, and nothing is working. I'm on a deadline with a client project and have wasted hours on this so far. I would give up but have already invested a lot of time into the other pages. I'd be so grateful for a solution. Thank you!

Word 2010

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 07:46 AM PST

I am trying to make a training aid for my agency. It is basically mimicking a website where the students will have to fill in the blanks, but, I need to have the information repeat in other blanks as they type.  They will type in a blank and push a "continue" button (Hyperlink) to the next page.  I need to have the same information that they typed on the first page, appear in a field on the second page.  How can I do this in very simple terms?

Can drop down menus make different tables visible?

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 07:14 AM PST

Hello,

I am looking to have a drop down menu contain 2-3 options.  Depending on what option is selected i would like a different table to become visible. 

for example:

The drop down menu would contain, approved, pending more testing, rejected.

if someone is to select the approved drop down a table would become visible with columns for certain information contacts and related information

if someone is to select the pending more testing drop down a table would appear with columns more suited for the selection to write contacts/related information. 

Right now the word document currently contains all 3 tables for the 3 selections and causes quite a messy looking document that I would like to clean up.  Any help on this would be fantastic!

Thank you!!

Office 365 Home Premium

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 06:51 AM PST

I am using Windows 7 Professional and Windows Live Mail. Having installed Office 365, I was initially able to print out all emails and all Word doc.x attachments. Suddenly I am no longer able to print out any emails and Word doc.x attachments. These start Word 2013 but cause an error message saying that it is unable to start the application and that perhaps file permissions may be the problem. Word 2013 now starts in compatibility Mode. Is this the problem and how do I edit file permisssions?

How can I recover lost files previously saved on my PC?

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 04:16 AM PST

I no longer have access to previously-created word documents, excel spreadsheets, my pictures and other files previously saved and stored on my PC. 

Here's the problem that preceded this:

When I started my PC yesterday, I received a message saying it needed to initiate repairs and this could take over an hour.  When that time passed, the next message was that repairs could not be made, but try one of about 3 options to get running again.  I chose an option and this restored my desktop.  However, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint weren't on it.  So I contacted live chat Microsoft help, and they helped me reinstall Microsoft office.  I thought I was all set, but then I saw that all I could access were recent sky drive documents.  When I look for files saved previously on my computer. nothing is listed or available.

Please can you help me retrieve these?

Appreciate all help and thank you.

How do you create a New document based on a template in Word 2012 not saved in Custom Office Templates

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:26 AM PST

Hi there

In Word 2010 when you wished to create a new document based on a template that was saved somewhere other than Custom Office Templates the option was available to select "New from existing" and you could then navigate to where the document was saved eg USB.

Does anyone know how this same action can be completed in Word 2013?

Problem with Office 2007

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 03:04 AM PST

While working with Word and Excel 2007, the window suddenly closes and an error report appears saying that Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. There are two options 'Send error report' and 'Don't send'. Whether you send or not the file re-opens and after some time the same error message appears again. I have tried to re-install Office 2007. In the beginning it works well but after some time it is the same thing. 
Another colleague is having the same problem but only if she uses the formatting options available, like bold, italic etc.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

How do I find shaded text in a large document?

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 11:54 PM PST

I am working with a large document with many tables and would like to find those cells which are shaded a particular color so I can edit them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  The shade I'm seeking is a theme shade, not a custom one.  I use Office 2013 and Windows 8.1.  Thank you...

Date and time create of the document

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 10:56 PM PST

I have requested my client to furnish certain information as a part of my assignment. Now it is very critical for me to know whether the client gives me information which is already there or is he working after my request. That serves my answer for "compliance" or "noncompliance". 

Conventionally we can get to know time and date of creating the document by right click to file and properties section. However when you copy the file which has been received through email attachment from the client, it shows the date & time precisely when it is copied/ downloaded to the local desktop/ hard disk. Is there a way to find out when the document was "really" created by the client user ?

Document changes when I print-words are cut off

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 09:44 PM PST

I have created a document that fit perfectly into the size paper I needed to use with no problem.  When I go to print preview or try to print I only get part of the document, the sides are cut off.  For example, the document created begins with "Dear Ray," when I print I get "r Ray,".  This must be some kind of margin problem but I can't figure it out.  It printed prefectly 3 days ago and saved at that time. 

Use MDB files in new version of Office

Posted: 09 Feb 2014 08:06 PM PST

My father used his old computer to make a mailing list. His computer had Office 2007. The computer's motherboard eventually got fried, so we transferred the files to an external hard drive, and he got a new laptop with Office 2013. When we opened the document that had been linked to the mailing list, an MDB file, Word did not recognize the file. It was visible in file explorer, but not in the "select data source" window, even when selecting "All Data Sources" from the pulldown menu. Is there a way to get Word to open this mailing list? Otherwise, is there any way to retrieve the data from this file?
