MS Word 2010 - Table of Contents - Looks Good on My Machine ... Not So Much on Others

Posted: 22 May 2014 02:32 PM PDT

I have created a TOC in Word 2010.  It looked good on my machine.  I e-mailed it to several other people in my group.  When they open it, the TOC information on each line was separated by a large amount of space and wrap around to the next line.  If the recipient does and "update entire table", it seems to correct itself.  One noted exception is that in my version, I see some later entries as "2.14Serial Number", while my recipient who has updated the entire table sees, "2.14  Serial Number".  I have done a "repair" on MS Office from control panel.  The problem persists.  Any ideas?

Autocorrect and mail merge

Posted: 22 May 2014 01:16 PM PDT

I have a mail merge that adds in doctor's names from an excel sheet into a word file. The excel sheet does not have the doctors credentials only the first and last name.

I have entered the credentials in autocorrect so if John Smith is typed it will autocorrect to John Smith, MD or whatever the appropriate credentials are. 

When I mail merge Word does not recognize and automatically insert the autocorrect function to add the credentials unless I manually hit space after each doctor name. This is a long list so it is time consuming to hit space after each one. Is there a way to automate this?

Thank you

Word Doc printing unevenly

Posted: 22 May 2014 01:11 PM PDT

A multiple page document I've been working on has been printing unevenly. Some of the text is really heavy(as if it were outlined even though nothing was done to it) while some of the text is in a much lighter weight. Even when converted to a PDF, the document would still print the same way. 

Most of the content has been copy-pasted from another Word document. It's definitely not an issue with the printer because I managed to troubleshoot a similar problem before but forgot how I resolved it other than copying and pasting everything into a new document but it doesn't seem to be working this time around. 

I'm working on Office 2011 on a Mac.

Thanks!

I can't save a Word 2013 document in Windows 8.1

Posted: 22 May 2014 12:11 PM PDT

I have a new installation of Office 2013 on a Windows 8.l1 computer. I also have Word 2010 on the computer. They are both recent downloads from MSDN. For some reason, I can't save a Word document. I can save PowerPoint and Excel documents. When I click Save, nothing happens. In 2013, I try to click a folder and nothing opens, no matter which location I choose. I've tried My Documents, Desktop and  OneDrive. No such problem with PowerPoint or Excel.

I first saw this with a new document (unnamed), but the same happens with existing documents. I can't save ANYTHING. I have 3 hard drives and Office is installed on C:, which is a solid state drive. I want to save onto another drive.

I did a repair of Office 2013 and it didn't help.

Has anyone heard of this? Obviously, it's a very serious problem!

How to control word wrap starting point in a bulleted or numbered list.

Posted: 22 May 2014 09:45 AM PDT

I would like for word wrap to be indented.   For example, this is how word wrap works now in a numbered list.

 

1. Item 1            Description one

2. Item 2            Description two is long enough to word 

    wrap and the next line begins under the "I" in Item 2.

 

I would like for word wrap to : 

 

1. Item 1            Description one

2. Item 2            Description two is long enough to word 

                         wrap and I would like the next line to begin under the "D" in Item 2.

 

The Indent, first line and hanging indent all move the entire "Item 2" line and do not perform as desired above.

 

I would like for word wrap to begin as described above.

Hi,

I currently have a Word 2007 Doc that uses mail Merge to add 2 images using the below mergefield.

I want the two Images to be resized to say 8 x 6cm and for the images to then appear next to each other as per the example below.

Currently they autofit to the width of the page and appear in sequence going down.

If anyone can help with code I can add to my Merge Doc that would be great.

Incorrect size for table row breaks over a page - Word 2010

Posted: 22 May 2014 04:15 AM PDT

I have a four column table which extends over multiple pages.

Some cells in the third column are necessarily lengthy and some break across pages. In itself that is acceptable, but I find that sometimes the continuation row on the subsequent page is displayed incorrectly with a significant gap - equivalent to three or four lines - between the last line of text and the bottom cell border.

A display of paragraph marks and other symbols shows no unexpected entries.

While I realise that I could choose not to allow rows to break over a page, I would prefer not to do so.

Can anyone help please, or is this a bug?

Templates in Word 2007

Posted: 22 May 2014 03:21 AM PDT

I am trying to deploy some templates that I have made so that they are automatically available when I open Word.

These template files are files that were originally .doc files that I have just changed the file extension of to .dotx.

I know to put them in the users Roaming Microsoft file which I have done which does make it show up in the My Templates section of Word.

However, when I go to open said templates, I get a dialogue box saying "Word has encountered a problem."

Can anyone help me identify what is wrong or if I am making a mistake somewhere.

If you need anymore information, just ask.

Can not see pictures when I copy and paste - Word 2007 - unsure of setting - only getting outline

I am unsure if anyone will be bale to assist me.

I have tried everything after Microsoft Word crashed. I have googled and been told to remove or rename the Normal template and now I have noticed only in some instances I am not getting the pictures that once used to appear.

I also notice that if I change the settings in one document at the moment and start another - one will have a picture appear and the other will just have an outline.

I wish to have all the documents display pictures. I have ensured that Picture placeholders - is not checked.

I also have been to include as much information as possible as so someone may be able to assist. I am unsure if the graphics are floating as therefore will not display.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Indexing in Word

Posted: 21 May 2014 03:50 PM PDT

I have been trying to create a heading across the top of the two columns of a Word 2007 Index.

There does not seem to be a way to do that - am I right?

The problem is that manually putting a heading across the page gets it deleted at the next update of the Index.

And, saving to PDF regenerates the Index, and also destropys the heading.

Any answers ... ?

Thanks in advance.

Track Changes uses wrong ID

Posted: 21 May 2014 03:29 PM PDT

I have a related problem; I'm not sure if your solution here applies. 

I've just started using Word in Office365. I do a lot of editing using Track Changes. I'm finding that comments I make are identified by my Microsoft Office 365 email address -- not my name. In older versions of Word, this could be adjusted in Word Options, but I see no place to do that. I've gone in to File:Options:General and personalized by copy by putting in my name/initials, but that doesn't change how I'm identified when I comment on a document.

How can I edit this so that it reflects my name and not my email address?

Works can open the file in that IE5 directory if I double click on it
directly. (NB: the Ie5 files can be listed in explorer by opening Disk
CleanUp and then using the list files button against the Internet Temps.)

This is clearly a bug or an inappropriate Microsoft disabling of a standard
windows caability used by every other application. It is absurd that Works
users need to subject the recipients of their attachments to false error
messages and the inability to open those attachments, and then have to learn
and subject them to various workarounds.

Office 2010 is not compatible Wih Works 9

Posted: 04 Mar 2010 03:51 AM PST

Office 2010 wont work with works9 because it will replace it completely once
it is finnished.

There will be no works "10" . Version 9 was the last works app ever ( and 9
was released only because of Vista compatibility reasons - version 8 and 8.5
have issues with vista ) .

Office 2010 comes as a "starter edition", excel and word with limited
functionality. That is your replacement application for the future. OEMs can
preinstall it for free. I personally ecpect it on retail or as a download
where you can later just enter a product key of a higher SKU to unlock the
missing features.

As a matter of fact therefore excel and word wont show up in any works
launcher, cause Office is the launcher..

Microsoft got rid of a lot of apps we all know and love : Encarta, Money..
and now works.

Windows lost half of its features with "7" that were in vista ..
Calendar,Mail,Moviemaker,
Teamwork,Software explorer..

Sometimes having always the latest is not the desired solution . I reverted
to vista and wont stop using works/ word 03 combination.

If you don't believe then google for "office starter edition"

64 Bit Components in Office 2007

Posted: 23 Nov 2006 09:51 AM PST

Hello Baboon,

I assume that the 64 bit components in the Office 2007 Enterprise media you
mentioned should be something like Office64.en-us etc. As I know, such
components, just like Office64.en-us, are the basic language packages for
x64 bit operating system. When you install Office 2007, Office 2007 will
automatically detect whether it is a 64-bit operating system. If yes, the
setup will invoke the 64 Bit Components to continue the installation
process.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Ada Pan

But you have to install linux after windows. If you have to reinstall windows

I have reinstalled Redhat simply telling the install program it was an upgrade

Since you have tried it, what is on the screen when you run it and it crashes?
It should be modestly specific as to its problem. If something was renamed you
can get the source for the library and equate the old and new names.

If you can name the library that causes the problem it could be a very well
known change and workaround. If it is something like gnome or kde that is the
problem forget it or bite the bullet for some cheap ass used computer that was a
trade-in at a local dealer and install the old RH release. But even then, if the

As a last resort, post what it is supposed to do. If someone wanted to do it

Wny would anyone boot from Windows when in so many cases there is a deliberate
effort to screwup other OSs? I think that is what you are saying your are doing.

As to the ethernet card, an RTC compatible card is the first thing to put in to
diagnos the problem. It works and because it is the grandfather of ethernet
cards everyone should have copied or reverse engineered it by now.

Dmseg should say it has found a compatible with RTCxxxx ethernet card.

Booting the right kernel?

It is quite scary that at some point in time it will be almost
impossible to distinguish a real server from a virtual one.

But according to the hosters (the company is 1and1), they do
offer fully dedicated machines, as opposed to virtual servers.
I guess I can only trust that they indeed do that (well, they
could get in real trouble if they don't, I guess)

APM - Automatic startup

Shutdown is easy, run it from cron. Startup is dependent on your
hardware and BIOS. You may want to setup HD spindown (hdparms) on idle
and use suspend to put the machine in deep hibernate, with wake on clock
or wake on NIC.

Google is your friend, this is still an adventure.

First, please learn to spell and use the "Capital" key correctly. It would
really help make your note more legiblem, as well as leaving out the Fadia

Second, RH9 is out of date for a number of reasons. If your hardware
supports a more powerful, modern OS, I strongly suggest you update.

Third, as pointed out elsewhere, the /etc/inittab contains processes started
by your initd. The problem is probably a failure to have a working X
configuration, and being in runlevel 5, where the X user login is normally
done from. You probably need to reconfigure your X setup: did it ever work
for you in the past?


VPN server..

I use openvpn, the man pages were sufficient. NB you have to let the
packets in through the firewall. That was the biggest problem I had.
Also, TCP is slower but may go through a firewall better, you need
forwarding rules in the server, and must have tcp_forwarding on.

openvpn comes with some distributions.

go to www.google.com/linux and google for suspend. On laptops I have had
better luck with suspend2, but it takes some kernel patches. Look for it
in your distribution, the kernels may be severely hacked.

I have never had any problem getting a laptop to suspend, although in
general they don't resume. It's better now, and YMMV.

Works 4.5a and Windows 7

Posted: 10 Feb 2010 01:12 PM PST

Why? Because they can?

It's not unique to Works. They've done the same thing with Word, Excel,
etc.

Presumably they wanted to add new features to the programs and needed to
add new features to the file formats.

One of the changes made was adding Unicode support. This allows two
bytes per character and so additional languages can be supported.

CALC COLUMN HEADINGS

Posted: 05 Feb 2010 11:38 AM PST

You can highlight the rows and columns you want to sort but don't
include the headings.

Or if you do include the column headings, then in the sort dialog check
the box that says there are column headings. This assumes that the
column headings are a single row.

Printing of Single Labels

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 08:29 AM PST

Rob,

To expand on Bob-B-Que's response:

Open Works 9 Word Processor
Click on Tools
Click on Labels - Choose multiple labels, click OK
Choose your label product and click New Document

At this point you have a document formatted for your label product. Type
your label information in the proper label position based on how many labels
you have remaining on sheet that you are going to place in your printer.
(This assumes that you are inserting a sheet on which previous "single"
labels have been printed.) If it's a new sheet, just place your label
information in the first position.

Keep in mind that, depending on how your printer feeds, you may have to
place your information in a different column. For example, if your printer
feeds so that the top of the sheet ejects first, you need to place your
information in the right hand column, if you want the item to actually print
in the left column. This example assumes a label product consisting of two
rows of labels. If this is confusing, I suggest you use the proven "trial
and error" method. Always works for me.

Thank You,
Richard

Works 9 - no "Customize Toolbar"

Posted: 24 Jan 2010 10:38 AM PST

cannon had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 26-01-10 22:55: 

Since version 5 many users have asked MS to put back in features that
were lost since version 4.5a (and this one had lost the feature of
macros). Especially important to me was the crippling of mail merge in
the newer versions. I bought te versions 5, 6, 7, and 8 hoping that bugs
would be corrected and the former capabilities restored. MS did not do
this. I understand now that we the users are not the clients of MS. The
OEMs buy Works not we. I left Works for Openoffice.org, and later IE for
Mozilla Firefox and Outlook Express for Mozilla Thunderbird. After this
I thought: What do I need Windows for? It is a nuisance: It must be
reinstalled regularly because it cannot maintain itself, it is
intrinsically and unremedially insecure. I'll try Linux; it has the most
important programs that I use too. I did, and after a slight learning
curve I am a happy user of GNU/Linux. Why bother with second rate OS and
software? Have a look around; there is a whole world of quality
computing besides Microsoft.

Greetings and good luck.

Erik Jan
