| Clarifying my header problem Posted: 18 Feb 2014 02:52 PM PST I will be more specific about my headers problem. I have some pages belonging to my Part B. Following the last page of Part B, I have a page that begins Part C - call this page C1. When the text part of C1 is active, a header belonging to Part B appears. That's wrong, but when I make the header part of page C1 active to remove it, the wrong Part B header IS NOT THERE. Therefore there is no way to remove it. (For what it's worth, when I do Print and look at page C1, the wrong header IS there.)
How can I fix this? And why is there a difference in what shows between "text active" and "header active" modes?
I will deeply appreciate any help, and thank you for your efforts so far.

| Some Arabic words with character styles applied display as Times New Roman instead of the underlying font Tahoma Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:59 PM PST I have a document where the majority of the time the character styles (e.g., Bold, Bold/Italic) applied to text correctly use the underlying font of Tahoma. But, when the character styles are used in the first line of a bulleted or numbered list, the font on the character styles is Times New Roman.
All of the paragraph styles are based on the Normal style, which is set to RTL and the script font is set to Tahoma.
95% of the time, Tahoma is used when a character style is applied. It is just in the first line of a bulleted or numbered list (e.g., step 1) where the font assigned is Times New Roman. All other bullets or steps in the list are ok. There is no style in the template based on Times New Roman.
I have done the following: Set the default script font to Tahoma. Set the Language to Arabic (U.A.E.). Deleted and reecreated the list styles Deleted and recreated the character styles Set the default printer to the Microsoft XPS Printer. Set the character styles' complex script font to Tahoma. Followed recommendations in this article (which may or may not apply): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/font-gets-changed-to-times-new-roman-after-2-3/8b6a6128-1dee-4592-87ee-fa05745bd47b
I don't know what else to try. I would love to get some advice please.

| Table Gridlines by default Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:55 PM PST Is there a way to turn on the table gridlines and have them show up all the time? I've read through all the topics here and all I could find on the web and it seems like the only options are to either program some code into all the documents that tell Word to turn on gridlines or to turn on the gridlines for Every Single Document I Open Every Single Time I Open It. Neither option makes any logical sense. I've just had a new version of Windows thrust upon me and I'm trying to set things up the way they were on my last computer, so I know this is possible. I just can't find anything that does it. Help! |

| Parts of document only visible in outline view. Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:22 PM PST I am putting together my PhD thesis using Word 2013 and Endnote X7. I need to put the bibliographies for each chapter separately. Endnote is able to do this, but the process has been a nightmare. Among other issues, I have to copy each chapter into the master document section by section, then allow Endnote to update. It then squashes the bibliography in a one page frame at the end of each chapter. I then have to remove the frame, as if I do not, when I next allow Endnote to update the references, the previous frames and the bibliographies they contain disappear. So every time I have to go through and remove any frames. I have no idea why the bibliographies are being put in frames, Endnote support seem to have no idea either, which leads me here.
All files are in .docx format. The citations in the document I am copying from all unformatted. Once I have merged the files I then click on 'Update Citations and Bibliography'. This takes a while. I have section breaks after each chapter, immediately before which Endnote is supposed to put the bibliography for each chapter. What normally happens here, is that the bibliography for the first chapter is created and visible (but squashed into a one page frame so that 3/4 of the references are not visible. The rest of the document then becomes inaccessible - i.e. I cannot scroll down, the links in the 'Navigation' pane within Word when clicked then do nothing. If I view the document in 'Outline' view however everything is still there. I can sometimes make the rest of the document be accessible again by deleting some of the blank space characters around the section break after the first chapter, but not always. If the rest of the document becomes visible the bibliographies are either in the frame or not visible at all.
Apologies if that makes little sense, its difficult to explain without having seen it. I realise this post is focussed on problems of Endnote, but I am trying to find out what circumstances within Word would result in parts of a document only being visible in outline view. If I can solve this problem I will be one step closer to an overall solution.

| Can't bullet just one section ... Word inserts one bullet in front of the whole doc (and indents the whole doc) Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:14 PM PST Word 2013 - Windows 8 Formatting a section with bullets affects the entire document - inserts one single bullet at top of doc and indents the entire doc, but does not create a bulleted list in the section that I highlighted.
- I paste copied text into a doc (selecting to use destination styles).
- Then try to fix a bulleted section (due to formatting changes caused when pasting).
- I remove the dots and spaces that represent the old bullets, highlight/select the area, and click the bullet formatting icon. This inserts a bullet at the top of the doc before the first line of the first paragraph. It indents the entire document.
What Word options do I have to change to unattach the area that I want to bullet? Why does Word apply this action to the entire document when I am highlighting a single section?
I have found this solution: Go back to Format>Style>Normal and uncheck "Automatically update" and check "Add to template" so you store the change for future documents. But, Word 2013 does not have this option to uncheck.
Thanks for any help! |

| Using IF THEN on an Address Block, Family Name v. Individual's Name Posted: 18 Feb 2014 09:29 AM PST I am trying to understand IF statements, but am stuck.

| Mail merge and INCLUDETEXT - formatting problem Posted: 18 Feb 2014 08:46 AM PST I have a main mail merge document that is basically just a nest of IF and INCLUDETEXT statements. Criteria in the data file causes a two-page document to be merged in. For all options, the included document is in 2 sections separated by a next page section break, and the second section has a footer that needs very specific formatting.
When the documents merge, the second page's formatting does not come through properly for any of the three documents that could be included - the bottom margin is too big and the footer is too far up the page.
The bottom margin in the main document is set the same as the included documents, and the footer height is also the same.
Is there anything else I should be checking?

| How to use Quick Parts in a template that is accessed on a network Posted: 18 Feb 2014 07:58 AM PST I have a Word 2010 template that uses content controls. It is an employee performance and evaluation template. The supervisor needs to be able to fill it out for the employee. There is an individual performance expectations section that I would like to be able to use quick parts for. The idea is to use quick parts to insert that section as many times as the supervisor needs to. The amount of times will be different for each employee. I saved the quick part with the same quick part inside it so the user could do this. (See picture below.) This template is loaded and deployed on our Intranet forms site. The user would open the form up from the site and save it to their computer. When they click on the template link, it opens it as a .docx and the quick parts do not work...even though it was saved as a template. Any idea how to get this to work in a network environment would be greatly appreciated!

| VBA: Change default folder for Import/Export File command Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:48 AM PST This is probably a long shot, but is there an easy way to change the default folder that the VBE aims at when importing or exporting a module?
My PC very oddly prefers to default to a program folder in the hierarchy of the most recently installed program (??). For example, clicking File> Export File from the VBE today offers to save the exported module in C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program, which not only is an inappropriate location for it but also would require administrator override to complete the save. And even after saving modules to another folder, it still tries to look in that folder when asked to Import. Ehh? |
| VBA to determine which tabstop is effectively utilised by a tab character i.e. chr$(9) Posted: 18 Feb 2014 12:09 AM PST I have been supplied with a very long (several hundred pages) document that has been set up "visuallY' into tables, however this has been done using using tabstops rather than an actual table.
I need to re-format the document into a spreadsheet to perform some analysis on the data. To complicate matters, there is no consistency of the arrangement of the tabstops within each paragraph, and sometimes, for example, the text that starts ("belongs") in column 3 might over-flow through one or more subsequent columns, such that there is then only one tab character to place the next required text into column 7 (if the overflow extends to column 6, and there is no "actual" content for these over-flow columns in this row). Also, some columns are right aligned tab stops, and some are left aligned.
What is the best way, using VBA, to determine which column a range of text is "visually" in, so that I can export it to the correct target column in a spreadsheet? For confidentiality reasons I cannot supply the actual document, or even an extract, but I've constructed a generic illustrative example which I can supply, I'm just not familiar with specifically how to do that on this forum.
Thanks for any and all help.
Regards
JBR.

| Header behavior Posted: 17 Feb 2014 07:54 PM PST 1. When I switch from editing the text to editing the page header, the page that's displayed takes a big jump to somewhere else. (!)
2. Also when I switch, the amount of text that fits on the page changes. (!)
3. These arbitrary-seeming behaviors make it much harder to work with headers. Is there any rational explanation? And is it any better in Word 2013?
