Word won't load Apps

Posted: 03 May 2014 02:45 PM PDT

I'm trying to purchase a template from those available when you start up Word.

When I do, a dialogue box appears stating

"sorry, we couldn't load the app because your browser version is not supported. Click here for a list of supported Browsers versions"

I've ran through my main three browsers(Firefox, IE and Chrome) all are up to date, but when I try with each, the same dialogue box come up.

Can't Open Word docs.

Posted: 03 May 2014 01:40 PM PDT

Since yesterday I've been unable to open any Word or Excel docs on my PC. When I try to open one I get this message: 'We're sorry, but Word (or Excel) has run into an error that's preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now? (in a box it says...) Repair Now, Help & Close'

I've run a virus scan with Avast and everything checks out...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Unique Office Problem... Every other time I reboot... "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment."

Posted: 03 May 2014 01:24 PM PDT

Hey,

For the life of me I cannot figure this problem out.

I have tried many things, looking at the registry editor making sure things are OK under Shell Folders. And looking in the internet explorer and making sure the "temp internet files" was set to the right directory or whatever. I also tried to re install office, repair off, re install office configuration.

Every other time I reboot, ""Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment." Sometimes it happens concomitantly with excel, sometimes not...

Obviously its preventing me from saving files.

 

I just can't seem to fix this.,,, please help.

Font changed

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:49 PM PDT

I have a very long document.  I have a font called Mary Jane Small Caps.  About 3 months ago a transferred the document, in compatibility mode, to a Surface running Windows RT 8.1 and Word 2013.  I worked on the document in that environment until recently.  I have now put the document back on my Windows 7 computer, still compatibility mode.  The places where I used the Mary Jane Small Caps are now in some other font which is NOT small caps, even though a check of the properties says the font is Mary Jane Small Caps.  What happened and how do I fix the issue?

Table of Contents and Formatting

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:48 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm working on a 200+ page document on Word 2010. I need to insert a table of contents (TOC) for the document; however, the TOC needs to have different margins than the actual report. It needs to look like this:

1.0       TITLE TITLE

           1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE

                       1.1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE

                                    1.1.1.1         TITLE TITLEITLE

But the document itself needs to look like this:

1.0 TITLE TITLE

1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1.1 TITLE TITLE

I'm having trouble having the TOC and document titles mismatch in formatting. In other words, if I bold or move the headings in the documents then TOC changes to match what I have in the document which is what I don't want. Also, once I insert the TOC and start working on the document I don't know how to add an additional subheading to the TOC, i.e. in the example above I wouldn't know how to add 1.1.1.1.1 once I've created the TOC.

I don't know if it matters, to insert a TOC, I usually type out all the chapter and subchapter names, click on styles, and then insert the TOC.

I appreciate all the help, my job depends on this!!

      

How to install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Hello,

How do you install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use? I don't have internet at home and need to use a dictionary. I seem to remember that Word 2003 used to have a dictionary you could use even if you were not connected to the internet. I'm able to use the thesaurus on Word 2010 at home. 

Can someone help?

Thank you.

How can I find Bold next to Italic, or other format combinations?

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:46 AM PDT

I know how to perform search and replace for basic formatting situations.

And I know that we can use wildcards to format (replace) text, using something such as this:

\1 ((bold))

... but how can I find combinations of formatting, such as bold text next to italic text, or normal text next to bold text.

For example, I would like to turn this:

this is some text that is not bolded. But this is

some text that is bolded.

... into this:

this is some text that is not bolded. 

But this is

some text that is bolded.

I was hoping the wildcard strings would be something like this:

FIND: (*)((normal))(*)((bold))

REPLACE: \1^13\2

... but the things I have tried don't work and I cannot find documentation regarding format-codes.

Thanks,

Joe

Lost an important document! Reverted to old version, how do i find it?

Posted: 03 May 2014 07:05 AM PDT

I've been working on a document for the last month, and yesterday I got a lot done, constantly saving every few minutes. Today, I went back to the document and all was fine and then my laptop crashed, but I managed to get onto word, save it and then restarted my computer. When I've gone back to the document it has reverted to a version from 4 weeks ago, and I can't find any trace of the newer version. I have tried everything- searching in all files, searching for temp files/asd files, it is not in the autosaved/unsaved file and I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help? Any suggestions?

How very bothering to create/modify a table style! Word all ver.

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:53 AM PDT

As to (text) Styles you can always select the modified text then update the style you want to match it, whereas to my disappointment, you can't do the same with table styles! and if it's not because it's way too all-consuming to either create or modify a table style(to which point I can't even set it well in the diagbox, my table style is too complicated btw) I wouldn't complain about this. Why can't I simply update a certain table style to match it? If I can't, why can't I draw the table style out in the diagbox?????????? I need EFFICIENCY and EASY USAGE!!

Cleaning up the header menu in Word 2013

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:18 AM PDT

I am new to Word 2013, migrating from 2003 recently. In the Header "ribbon" I have all these symbols with text, but it's cluttered and wide, like its two rows thick, where my old word it was narrow across top.  The new word header takes up a little more than twice the space as my old word header and its busier with all the stuff. If I remove one of the commands, It just leaves empty white space up there on the top right - wasted and empty. How can I collapse the commands so they are just the ones I want and run along a single row like the old word, which was cleaner and less crowded? Is that possible?

how to delete a new unsaved document without closing Word 2013?

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:12 AM PDT

I recently migrated to 2013 Word. In my previous version, if I opened Word and started a document but hadn't saved it and wanted to create a new one and delete the first one, I just go up to a small x below the main X for getting out of Word and it would ask me if I want to Save, Don't Save or Cancel. I click don't save and it deletes it, leaving Word open to open or create a new document. I see no small x anymore. Is that not available in this latest version? How do I delete it - the document that has never been saved -  without closing Word?

Non U.S-based English Language Preferences

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:26 PM PDT

Why does Microsoft continue to show a complete and utter lack of respect to English speakers who do not reside in the U.S?

If you count the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and other former and current members of the British commonwealth then there are approximately 200 million speakers who are being treated as second-class citizens and having the proliferation of U.S English thrust upon them with a lack of true localised language and display packs. 

Here are some suggestions:

- How about giving us the right to choose our language rather than out of the box U.S English?

- I expect my localised dictionary to show the U.S spelling as incorrect, suggesting I use an exceptions list to achieve this is unacceptable. The non-US dictionaries accept both U.S and U.K words while the U.S dictionary accepts only U.S words, irony?

- Fix the language settings in MS Office which are messy and often ignore the PC's regional settings.

- Educate partners on the importance of setting correct regional preferences on new PC's and servers.


There is no excuse Microsoft. You operate in global markets and should cater to the local tastes and preferences, particularly in highly profitable markets. Google has recognised this - why not Microsoft?

Recover Lost Word Document

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT

Hi there.
I have been working on an essay for a few months now, and made great headway yesterday. I made sure to save the document several times as I knew my computer would need to restart and do updates. I save the document again, and later on that night restarted my computer to do it's updates. Now I can only find a version of my essay from 2 months ago which is missing 70% of the information, and I have tried all the possible ways to recover it.
I've searched for it as a backup file, a ~ file, .tmp file, under different names, through autorecovery and still no luck.
I'm horribly desperate. Has anyone had this problem?

Error in TimeScaleData Calculations

I tested this and it is true. When you set a deadline, Project uses
that as the Late Finish date.

[snip] 
The problem is that it doesn't happen like that. Several tests I did,
Project always delays the task with the deadline, regardless the
dealine/Late Finish dates are sooner that the Late Finish of the other
tasks.
In other words, if, in a group of simmilar tasks that require the same
resource, you don't set any deadline, Project delays the task with
the higher ID. If you set a deadline to one of the tasks, that is the
one delayed, regardless if it misses the dealine.

Project always chooses the worst possible solution, considering the
deadlines.
 
It didn't solve my problem but I learned one more detail of Project.
Thanks. :-]

Take care,

Changing Resource % mid project.

Posted: 18 May 2005 11:59 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Funny tasks you have!
They can only be worked on 50% but that only from a certain date; the same
date that by chance or bad luck another task starts.
I know I'm up against most of the PM community, but I don't like people
being cut into halves.
That's why I dare insist. Why exactly does it have to be 50%.
If your latest statement is the reason, then the assignment unit MUST be 50%
from the beginning of the task, because people have to wait for things all
of the time.
But if that isn't the reason, if the reason is risk of overloading, the
assignment units should be 100% and the tasks done in sequence.

Not that Project can't handle it, go to Task usage and contour your
asignment the way you want it... but don't feel frustrated for calculating
manually what Project's leveling could do for you, that is provide a
solution for overallocations.

My experience is that (far too) many customers use % allocation just for
that reason... they WANT to calculate everything manually...

Hope this helps,

How to create an icon on the toolbar to filter % complete

Posted: 18 May 2005 04:50 AM PDT

Hi Majid,

You will need to create a filter (not use AutoFilter) to do this.

Choose Project > Filtered For > More Filters....
Click the New... button.
Name the filter and click Show in Menu.
Set the first row of the filter to:
Field Name: % Complete
Test: equals
Value: 100%

Set the second row of the filter to:
OR
Field Name: % Complete
Test: Equals
Value: 0%

If you want to see summary rows, click Show related summary rows.
Click OK.

To run the filter, click the filter drop-down list in the Formatting Toolbar
and select the filter. This will allow you to run the filter from any
*Task* view
and show only those tasks which are 100% complete or 0% complete.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

Generally installation from the distribution disks is a one-shot deal. Once
it's installed you put the disks away in a safe place in case you need to
re-install but you run the programs from the Start menu found on the button
in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Did you look in "All Programs"
and see if Works or Work is listed there?

One worker, two groups with two pay rates

Posted: 17 May 2005 05:46 PM PDT

That's a classic example of the use of the Rate Tables feature - in fact, I
use almost exactly that example - Mary Ann who can serve as either an AD or
a Camera Assistant on a film shoot - in my classes. Go to the Resource
Sheet. Joe Smith should have only ONE entry, not two, in the resource sheet
otherwise Project won't be able to tell if you've double booked him on
different tasks occuring at the same time. Doing it the way you have really
fouls up the whole resource allocation functions. Double click on his ID
number on the left to display the Resource Information Form. You'll see
there are 5 rate tables there - the entrys from the regular resource sheet
populate Rate Table A with his standard rate, OT rate, and cost per use.
For simplicity use this table for the rates for his primary function,
perhaps Camera. Select the tab for Rate Table B and on it enter the std,
ot, and cost per use rates for his secondary function, pehaps that's Tape.
When you assign him to tasks Project will use the rates from Table A by
default to determine the costs. But you can then display your choice of
either the Task Usage or Resource Usage view, double click the ID number for
the assignment to display the Assignment Information form, and select the
rate table to be used for that specific task.

Be careful you understand how Cost per Use tallys into the cost of a task.
If you have Joe working as a Camera Operator at $250 per use, the budget is
assesed $250 for each time he is assigned to a task regardless of how long
that task takes - $250 per setup or per shot depending on how well you break
down the shot plan. If he is assigned to 5 days of filming entered as 1
task running for 5 days duration, the total cost will be $250. But if that
same shoot is carried in the plan as 5 individual 1-day setups, the cost is
5*$250 or $1250 even though the total duration of the work is exactly the
same. Make sure that accurately describes your actual situation. If those
rates represent day rates for a crew member, I'd recommend you consider
entering those as his Standard Rate so the estimated cost is calculated
based on the time spent working rather than the number of different tasks
he's assigned to. Otherwise you could easily have someone who actually gets
paid $250 a day hitting your budget at $500 because he's done one setup in
the morning and another the afternoon of the same day.

Hope this helps

Office for iPad - syncing to iCloud/Dropbox

Posted: 02 May 2014 02:24 PM PDT

I'd really like to use Word for iPad. However, I store all my documents on Dropbox and want to be able to save to there, with local updates to my computers. iCloud sores some of my data when I use pages and the like so if I can't use Dropbox I could use iCloud. However, I don't want to have to spread to a third cloud service with one drive. Anyway to save to either of the above or if Microsoft might add this feature?

Mail Merge HTML - Outlook 2010 with Windows 7 64bit - not working

Posted: 02 May 2014 11:33 AM PDT

I know this issue has been posted before but apparently it's still an issue! I am beyond frustrated. 

When I try to send a mail merge by choosing the HTML format it does not work, does not do anything. Sending in Plain Text or as Attachment works fine. Of course these are not what I need.

The hotfix mentioned before does not work as it says 'The update is not applicable to this computer'.

Does anyone have a step-by-step fix to this (ridiculous) issue? I need to send out a mail merge today.

Can I create a Word report library where I can insert/remove certain sections easily?

Posted: 02 May 2014 10:47 AM PDT

Context: I regularly write long reports for clients and they typically have the same structure and a lot of similar paragraphs, subsections, etc...

I am looking for a way to 1) Create a library of all the possible vulnerabilities that a client could have, and then each time I do a new report I go through and check boxes for each vulnerability. 2) This would then auto-populate the word document with those vulnerabilities I selected. Each vulnerability is a typically either a sentence or paragraph. 

So - is there a way to auto-populate word documents with specific selected pieces of texts? Would this involve Micros or Access or Excel? What is the easiest option?

Thank you in advance. 

My Microsoft Office 2013 has been "Changed or moved"

Posted: 02 May 2014 10:30 AM PDT

My Microsoft Office 2013 programs are no longer working. No matter where I go in my files to select the program it brings up a prompt saying something to the extent that "WINWORD.EXE" that this shortcut refers to is no longer working. The programs were working the day before and when I started up my computer this morning I can't access my essential word documents or any other of the Office programs. What happened to my Office and how can I fix it quickly? Should a re-installation fix this?

How do I skip fields in Mail Merge?

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:36 AM PDT

I have the following in a Word 2013 Mail merge, but I only want the two parenthesis and the Maiden Name to appear if the Maiden_Name field has data in it:

{MERGEFIELD "First_Name"} ({MERGEFIELD Maiden_Name}) {MERGEFIELD Last_Name}

How do I set it up?

Using Mail merge together with SharePoint Lists is a real pain

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:31 AM PDT

Unbelievable but using a normal SharePoint list and no document library is a painful thing. The customer wants to use a central address list an extended contact list in SharePoint 2013 Foundation and Office 2013.
He wants to filter the addresses and then use this partial list for mail merging with Word 2013.

First I tried to export the SharePoint List to Excel or Access. But filtering is useless you will always get the whole list. The only workaround to get a partial list is to use views.  I personal think for the most end-users this is no practicable way.

Next I made a live link to SharePoint with Access, creating the queries and starting Word mail merge from Access. But this isn't working because Word needs a local database and you always get an error that the database is open exclusive mode.  The only workaround is to make a local database and to reimport the SharePoint list if something is changing.

Using Outlook for mail merging is also ill-conceived because you don't get easily extended contact-fields. You have to use existing fields but it doesn't work with lookup fields.  And you get the whole list there is no way to filter it before.

With Excel the same problem can't use live sync together with queries. Filtering on the Excel side is possible and to copy the only visible filtered data with copy and paste for a second source. Unfortunately the customer doesn't want to work with Excel.

There is no way to make a direct connection from SharePoint to Word mail merge. You have to write a macro. But again you get only the whole list and you can't use lookup fields. That is way filtering afterwards in word is useless in our case. By the way Office 2013 doesn't include the right driver you have to download Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver separately.

All together this simple task was a complete nightmare.

What is missing for a real integration?

  1. A common SharePoint Database Connection provider is missing.
    This includes one provider regardless of using 32 Bit or 64 Bit version of Office.
  2. Support of SharePoint pre-filtered lists in the Office applications without a view.
  3. SharePoint should have a icon to connect directly to Word.
  4. SharePoint should be able to export only selected items to the Office applications.
  5. Support of lookup fields list in the Office applications.

It seems that Microsoft works too much in the cloud world and is forgetting the on premise customers. They didn't make their homework.
Sorry for the hard words but this is not the integration that I expect from a formerly called Office Server a
nd we are already at version 15 of Office

The "Insert" Tab

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:35 AM PDT

Hi, When creating a document with some math expressions or formulas, I use the "Insert" tab,

The thing is that when I am finished with one formula and want to continue with a new one - the screen reverts to the "Home" tab, and I have to press again

the "Insert" tab.

Is there a way to keep the "Insert" tab in place untill I am finished?

By the way, I believe that same thing happens in XL 2010.

Thanks, Joseph.

After using ctrl+F to find something how to get word to not to return to that search if using ctrl+pgUp (Word 2013)

Posted: 02 May 2014 02:55 AM PDT

When using Word 2013 you can use the navigation pane (or ctrl+F) to find words in a document, however if you use ctrl+pageUp (or down) afterwards it takes you to the previous/next instance of the searched word. Is there a way to stop this? So that I can search for a word then traverse pages normally using the keyboard short cuts?

Show White Space Between Pages in Print layout View Gets Stuck

Posted: 01 May 2014 06:04 PM PDT

I open a new document in Print Layout View, and I can see the margins/space between pages.

I double click the space between the pages and the margins go away.

I save the document, close word, and reopen the document: the margins are still gone.

I double click the space between the pages and the margins come back.

I save the document, close word, and reopen the document: the margins are still gone!

The same seems to occur when using File->Options->Display->Show White Space Between Pages... instead of the double click

How on Earth do I make the margins show by default again? Once I save a document with the margins off, it seems to just get stuck like that. Its quite annoying.

Why does word delete all text when pressing enter? Overtype is disabled

Posted: 01 May 2014 04:47 PM PDT

So I'm a student studying mechanics and we're given electronic documents for our job cards that we have to fill in with bullet points. I have a document that I've been working on but I've encountered a problem that is preventing me from finishing my work which is extremely frustrating.

Here's my problem. There are a few tables at the top that there was already text in such as student name, date, vehicle registration and so on, I can type in these without any issues. However when I get to the table where the bullet points go, I can only type until I reach the bottom of the table. When I reach the bottom of the page and press enter to start a new bullet point, everything I've previously typed disappears, deleting the table itself and I have to undo to bring my work back.

I've been searching for hours now on a solution and the only advice I can find is that "Overtype" is switched on. I've been in to Options > Advanced and the "use the insert key to control overtype mode" and "use overtype mode" boxes are both unchecked. There is a header and footer tab at the bottom of this table, when I go in to the Insert tab and click on Header, click on remove header I get the exact same issue so I'm guessing this problem I'm getting has something to do with the Header. I aslo know that there is meant to be more to this document than is being shown (should be on a seperate page) but I'm only getting page 1 of 1.

And what I mean by there should be more to this document that isn't being shown is when I start the document with no text added, the top of the second page appears at the bottom of page 1. And Word is still telling me there is only page 1 of 1.

I'm not sure if everything I type is being deleted or if it is just being moved on to page 2 and I can't see it. But it disappears and it's a problem as I'm reaching my deadline and need to get this work done. I'm clearly not a wizard with Word but I have been using it for a few years and have never encountered this so I aplogize if this is a simple solution. And sorry for the lengthly post

Thanks

Kyle

Issue with opening Office 2013 documents

Posted: 01 May 2014 03:46 PM PDT

I have an intermittent issue with opening documents in Office 2013 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).  When I open a document it sometimes does not seem to open properly - it can be seen in the open document pop-up but is blank as shown below, does not open and cannot be selected.  Often after a few attempts to click it will then appear but not always.  It can happen when trying to open from any source e.g. email, within the Office application, downloaded from the Internet.  I am using Windows 7.
