Paragraph and Line Issues in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 02:43 PM PDT

I have a document with a numbered list.  Section 3.1 is near the lower middle of the page and 3.2 is on the next page.  I have quite a bit of white space below 3.1.  When I click on the paragraph marker to see if there is a section or page break the white space disappears and Section 3.1 goes to the bottom of the page. There are no section or page breaks.  When I unclick on the paragraph marker the white space comes back. 

If I press enter after section 3.1 it will bring 3.2 onto that page, but with extra lines in between 3.1 and 3.2.  When I try to delete the extra lines then section 3.2 goes back to the next page.  My line spacing is 0 points above and 6 points below single spaced for the sections.  On the extra lines it is 12 above and below. I tried to adjust the line spacing to 0 above and 6 below and it sends section 3.2 back to the next page.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get remove the extra lines or white space.

Thank you.

Browse button not working in Word 2013

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 02:38 PM PDT

I have Office 2013 student edition.  If I try to invoke the Browse button anywhere in Word, i.e File Open/Save or modifying directory paths in Options/Save, the button is enabled but does not do anything so I cannot access my computer's file system.

The browse button still works in Excel and PowerPoint.

I don't have any add-ins enabled.

Tried safe mode.

Tried classic.

I have followed the suggestions that were made in 2 similar posts by Remko van Roekel with no success.  Both those threads seemed to end without a resolution.

I need help - Word, of course, is USELESS without the ability to browse.

Images don't stay where I place them - Word 2013

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 12:34 PM PDT

I have several documents that are formatted as a subhead followed by a paragraph.  For some, not all, of the paragraphs, I have a picture that I want to place at the left margin, at the start of the paragraph.  I have the text wrap set to Square, 'move object with text selected.  The anchor symbol is on the line that starts the paragraph.  Sometimes, that works perfectly, and the image stays where it is.  Sometimes it doesn't - I can have the socument set up looking exactly as I want it...then I open it again, and an image has jumped, and no matter how many times I move it to where I want it, and redo all the settings, it jumps - usually above the subhead and to the left edge of the page.  When I drag it to the position I want, I can see the green layout lines...but as soon as I let go of the mouse, it jumps.  

Any ideas?  Thanks!  

Printing

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 12:25 PM PDT

If I print more than 1 copy in Word 2013 from the Print Menu, it is somehow "saving" that number and using it when I try to Quick Print.  However, when I go into the Print Menu, it says only 1 under number of copies.  How do I clear this?

Page Breaks in Word 2013 invisible and change formatting

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 11:54 AM PDT

When I use Control Enter to insert a page break, it has a style applied of 8 pt. after the page break and is left aligned. Then if you start typing after the page break, everything I type will be that same format, which we do not use. When I use the pagebreak icon available to use on the Quick Access Toolbar, it inserts as justified and 0 pt. after the page break. In both instances the page break is invisible unless I am in draft mode with hide/show on. Why did this change? In prior versions, the page break was always visible in draft mode even without show/hide turned on and the page break extended across the entire page. Now it is a short line that is invisible.   

If I try to remove the space after the page break to turn into a long page break as in prior versions, it sometimes does not work and every time it changes my formatting to left aligned with a style applied.  We always use full justification. 

I really need my page breaks to show up. 

Until Microsoft fixes this, I have instructed my assistants to use section breaks and not page breaks. Sections breaks are visible in draft mode without show/hide being turned on and does not change my formatting. 

Can Microsoft please fix this in an update? I know I am not the only one that is having this problem.

Thanks!

Formatting to apply to entire paragraph

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 10:44 AM PDT

Hello and thanks in advance for your help with this. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere--as I am not sure I am clearly explaining my problem.

I have Word 2010. I have a paragraph in which part of the paragraph is bold and part of it is regular font. In the past, when I'd select the entire paragraph and choose "bold" or "ctrl+b", the entire paragraph would change to bold, or regular (and then back if I hit it again).

Now when I select the paragraph it flip-flops. The section that was bold becomes regular, the section that was regular becomes bold.

I know I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I am not sure where.

- I have checked in options and cannot find this as a setting.

- I have changed the text to "normal" - vs. header

- The same thing does not happen when I use italics. It will italicize or un-italicize the entire paragraph, which is what I want.

I also know that this seems like a small thing, but it is something that I need to do quite often. And if it starts happening to other formatting options I'll need to know how to change it.

Thanks!

Doug Robbins' MergeTools issue

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I recently downloaded Doug's MergeTools 20140218 in order to use the ManyToOne feature to send invoices to clients.

My excel file has all the field names as alphanumeric, no spaces before the first letter, and no numbers at the beginning of the field.

My header rows are:    Name  /  Email  /  Account Type  /  Account Number  /  Fee Perct  /  Q1 Fee

I have sorted by Name, the field I want as the Key Field.

What I need to happen in the mailmerge is display the name and email of each client at the top of the page, then have a table below with a header row of Account Number, Account Type, Fee %, Quarterly Fee

I've put in each of the merge fields in the locations needed, and put a bookmark named Group in the first cell of the first row of the table.

For clients with multiple account numbers, I need the merge to display all accounts for each client in the same table.

This seems to work great, except for a few problems:

When I run the utility, one of the fields (Quarterly Fee) shows the error "no document variable supplied" for every entry. That's one of the most important child fields I need to include, so that must be able to view correctly.

The last issue I have is my total row is not summing the column, instead showing "!D4 Is Not In Table." It is formatted as { =SUM(ABOVE) \# $,#0.00 }

Hopefully somebody can help!

Thank you,

Ryan

Word 2013 Erroneously and spontaneously Translates Entire Document to Foreign Language!

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 09:55 AM PDT

I have been using Word 2013 for about  6 months. All ok. But yesterday, as I was working on a 112 page document,  I apparently hit  the wrong combination of keys, and immediately, the entire  document was turned into  a foreign language – maybe Greek!!!. I have been working with one form of  Word  for over 30 years. This has never happened to me before. I have never used the Translation app.  I tried to use this app to  get the document to go back to English – but each time it  fails to go back to English.    How can I get my original document back and how can I prevent this from happening again??? I am a writer and I am terrified that this will happen again! Please help!

How to divide 2 document property quick parts in one document by section

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:57 AM PDT

I have 2 status metadata quick parts in a document that need to contain different values. However, when I change one, it changes the other to the same value. How can I split these up so that I can put different values into the same type of quick part on within the same document?

Hidden Captions and Un-selectable Captions

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:51 AM PDT

hello,

I am writing a manual, and I have about 50 images in my file that I wish to have documented in a table of figures. Constructing the table is no problem. Even the first 40 or so captions work perfect and display correctly in the table. Then all of the sudden there is a problem. 

I have caption in the table "Caption 44" That does not belong to an object. If I follow the link in the table, it takes me no where. I realize I can simply delete it from the table, but every time I update, I'll need to do this. The caption 44 problem arose when Word decided that all images after the 43rd we're going to labelled as "Caption 44". 

Furthermore, some captions appear as text boxes, and they can moved around, while some are text like the rest of my document. What causes this inconsistency?

Finally, there is a caption that I can see that is not included in the table. I cannot select it, word doesn't seem to know it exists. My goal would be to re-number or update this caption because it is currently out of order. 

Thank you very much for our help, I truly appreciate it.

Is it possible to specifically define a collapsible endpoint?

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:44 AM PDT

I've been hunting the web for answers to this and have not found anything of genuine help. I'm trying to create a sub-section of a parent section that collapses the code samples so they don't clutter the readable portion of the document -- something akin to the "spoiler" sections inside a forum post.

Here's the layout for visual reference:

1) HEADER1

Text explaining this section and the purpose of the code.

a) SUBHEADER1

Code sample for SUBHEADER1

b) SUBHEADER2

Code sample for SUBHEADER2

Text wrapping up the section with additional notes.

2) HEADER2

Same structure as above.

3) HEADER3

And so on.

Now using the header styles this mostly works nicely, except for one problem: SUBHEADER2 seeks to include everything up to the next header in its collapse field. So the wrap-up text illustrated above also hides when collapsing SUBHEADER2. Functionally speaking this means that if you collapse the code sample from SUBHEADER2, you don't get to see the additional notes that follow-up the code sample.

This order of readability is very important for the doc I'm creating, so I can't accept the current behavior. Is there a way to manually set a header style's collapsible endpoint? Can I force Word to collapse only the code sample under SUBHEADER2?

Or is there another way I should be going about this?

Thanks in advance!

Losing space on MS Word with different version

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 06:28 AM PDT

Hi. 

I have 2 versions of MS Word: Word 2010 and Word 2007 in 2 different place: a PC and a laptop.

Here is the example of what I often got:

 

In Word 2010, I wrote this: "This is just for an example to show what's wrong with this Word." 

Then I saved it in a flash disk, and I opened it in Word 2007.

and when I opened that file in Word 2007, this is what I saw: "This isjustfor anexample to showwhat's wrong with this Word." 

as you can see, there are some "space" that went missing. This thing drove me crazy because then I have to re-read and re-edit my whole document. If it just a page, then it's okay. But when the document reach 20 pages or so? nightmare.

Do you have any suggestion on what I should do to prevent this from happening?

thanks before.

Office 2013 - Can't save files due to "affecting the Global Template Normal"

Posted: 20 Jun 2014 02:28 AM PDT

Hi all,

As the title states, I'm working on behalf of a client and I literally have no ideas on what to do next from here!

I have tried the following:

Ran MalwareBytes

Ran ADWCleaner (This found 1 virus and stopped Cursor flickering)

Created a new Normal.dotm

Ran a quick repair on Office 2013

Ran an Online repair on Office 2013

Installed a Hotfix for the printer spooler not stopping when printer wasn't active.

Now he accesses the file from their server at the workplace which only he has access to, when he goes to save the document it says *like stated in the title* That saving this file will affect the Global Template Normal, I told him to OK it and see where it goes from there and it now gives another error message stating this

"We can't save this file because it's read-only.

To keep your changes, you'll need to save the document with a new name or a different location."

<Directory here>

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

why cannot I use UNC path includes some special character?

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 05:59 PM PDT

I have used Office 2013.

Also If the UNC path include another special character( ★, ●, etc..), MS office(excel, word, outlook) create the hyperlink.

So If some one know about the reason, please let me know

Using IMF I see about 40% spam, and it doesn't catch the new spam for

office installer launches every time a microsoft product is launch

Posted: 15 Jan 2007 08:34 PM PST

Hi,



I'm having a similar problem. I'm running WinXP and just installed (and
re-installed) Office 2003. Everything works fine under an administrator
account, but everytime I use a Limited User account to launch any Office app
the Windows Installer launches and reloads Office. If I change the Limited
User account to an admin account it works; as soon as I change it back to
Limited User and launch an app, the Windows Installer launches again.



I've searched the net and seen mention of the same problem, but no real
solutions posted, only suggestions that so far have not helped.

Microsoft CRM - import Data from Excel

Microsoft CRM - import Data from Excel


import Data from Excel

Posted: 19 Feb 2005 01:41 PM PST


Hi,

Because for example like we export Data from MS CRM, then you make some
changes in Excel and that you want to get in the history of each contact.
Other thing there are Excel sheets with information from different contacts
and each information should be suited in the history of a contact.

Thank you
Vin

Millions of contacts in CRM

Posted: 18 Feb 2005 03:55 AM PST

Keep security as simple as possible, preferrably one business unit with
everyone having access.

You can limit what people see by changing the default views to limit data
returned. You have to do this by exporting the system customizations,
editing the XML for the default views, then making the changes. Don't
worry, you can deal with that problem when you get to it.

Another option would be to create a custom search screen for the users and
replace the base search screen with that.

What type of environment is this? Sales? Service? I can make more
recommendations, but I need to know how the users will interact with the
system.

Uniqe field in CRM

Posted: 18 Feb 2005 02:12 AM PST

Thanks Matt

That explains why I can't find where to set the unique identifier setting :-)

How much troubble is it to set up such a import routine. I am new to CRM(you
proberly guessed that).

If you have an example lying around or have some good pointers I would love
to get my fingers on them.

At this point I am waiting for 2 crm books to arrive by mail so I can figure
out what I installed. Our need is proberly more an "out of the box solution",
but I will try and see if I can't make this work and when my boss and sales
people likes it, there will be room for some proper implemntation.

Sharepoint

Posted: 18 Feb 2005 01:46 AM PST

Just to give you a bit of an idea, we have our server as well as a couple
client installs with Sharepoint services (not portal), MS CRM, SQL, AD, DHCP,
DNS, blah blah blah all on the one server machine, and we also use SonicWALL
TZ170w in which we sell also, that we use to access this server via VPN and
also access the server locally and it works like a charm. Remote desktop to
both that server and our web MS CRM On-line Demo.
So even though Microsoft definatly do not recommend that all those services
be on the one server it does work!
The install of Sharepoint is a tricky one which too a couple attempts just
follow the steps carefully. We have just used Sharepoint services not Portal.
Good luck.

Hope that gives you an idea,

In addition to my first reply you should also search the deployfile for

You should only find it once. If you find it twice - delete the second
instance as in
<mapping type="computer blablabla /> (it is a few lines long - make sure
that you get the entire string. Again one must be present - not two - it does

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge With Variable Pictures Using Word 2013

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge With Variable Pictures Using Word 2013


Mail Merge With Variable Pictures Using Word 2013

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 05:11 PM PDT

I have been experimenting and researching for several days to figure out how to do a Mail Merge that includes links to pictures that would be variables in a mail merge. Others said such a picture merge was not possible unless you converted our main document from a Word 2013 to a Word 97-2003 *.doc format. I figured there must be a way and there is. This feature is certainly temperamental and you must follow all steps exactly or it won't work. I hope others will find this useful--I'm no expert on this advanced type of merge, but at least it's a starting point for others. This was performed on a Windows 8.1 system--there was no choice for that in the System and Device dropdown for this post.

Before beginning prepare an Excel file as your Data Source file that includes a column for pictures with each pictures *.jpg file name. You will insert that variable field in the merge. I use "Pic" in my example with simple *.jpg file names. I "think" if you have spaces in your *.jpg file names, you'll have problems. Keep the names short with no spaces. I'm preparing a merge document that will be manually e-mailed to parents who have a child enrolled in a preschool. The main document includes their child's name and their child's picture as merge fields for those variables. My screen shots have information blocked for privacy. 

To make this picture merge work in Word 2013, I used the INSERT tab, Text group, Quick Parts, Field, Include Picture to insert the field for the picture. Unfortunately, Word 2013 does not support  the use of Finish & Merge, Send Email Messages, feature. So after the merge documents are completed, I had to e--mail each finished merge document manually.(Pardon the weird numbering in the steps below, but that's how steps pasted in from Word.)

  1.       Prepare a Main Document in advance with a link to the relevant Data Source file. I plan on e-mailing the finished merge documents one by one, so I always use a table structure to hold data and provide a framework for the consistent display of the merged files. I also use SHIFT+ENTER between paragraphs to avoid excessive space since many different e-mail clients outside of Microsoft will be receiving the merged document. (Consult a Word resource for steps—sorry, but those steps are too lengthy to discuss here.)
  2.       Prepare the Excel data source file stored in your local My Data Sources folder; in this example, DataSourceFamilyPractice.xls; in this example, I need a column named Pic with the name of each *jpg picture file listed. I used the name of each child to parallel the Child column and keep this merge simple in terms of file names.

  1.       Prepare a local folder with each child's picture; each file should have the same dimensions—in this example, I wanted square pictures with 1x1" dimension.
  2.       Reconnect to your Data Source file: from the Start Mail Merge group, click Select Recipients, Use an Existing List, browse to your Excel Data Source file.
  3.       Press FN+ALT+F9 to display field codes. I have to use FN on my computer to use my functions buttons. On your keyboard, you may just need to press ALT+F9.
  4.       Click in the table cell where the picture field In Windows Explore, browse to the picture folder; right-click the desired picture; click Properties; from the Properties dialog, Security tab, drag right to left across the Object name and CTRL+C, Cancel. C:\Users\Arlene\Desktop\GPMPics\Denise.jpg

  1.        From the INSERT tab, Text group, Quick Parts button, click Field; from the Field window, Field names pane, click Include Picture; in the Filename or URL box, paste the path to the picture; click OK.

  1.       Press FN+ALT+F9 to display merge field codes.

  1.       Carefully delete only Denise.jpg (or whatever file name is displaying now) from the filename and don't move the insertion point; the line should now look like this:

  1.    With the insertion point where Denise.jpg used to be (just after the last \\ and just before the closing quotes) do this: From the MAILINGS tab, Write and Insert & Insert Fields group, click the Insert Merge Field button; click Pic. Your field should now look like this:
  2.    Press FN+ALT+F9 (your computer may require only ALT+F9) to toggle field code display off; note that the picture displays the picture in the original path—in this case, Denise.jpg.

Note! If picture doesn't display properly, delete everything in Cell A3, save the main document file again, reconnect to data source, and repeat steps 10-1

  1.    From the MAILINGS tab, Finish group, click the Finish & Merge button; click Edit Individual Documents; from the Merge to New Document dialog, click All, OK.
    Note: Unfortunately, you cannot use Send Email Messages. It will send the message fine, but the pictures will not be unique. The same is true if you try to use the ACROBAT tab to merge—it creates four PDF files, but each one has the same picture.
  2.    Note that a new unnamed document opens with all four merged documents all displaying the same picture:
  3.    To update the merged documents to display variable pictures, press CTRL+A to select all four pages in the new, unnamed document; press FN+F9 (your computer may require only F9) to display unique pictures.
    Note: To speed things up, Word displays the same picture for each of the INCLUDEPICTURE fields. Thus, your merged document will appear as if it contains multiple instances of the same picture. This simply occurs because Word doesn't update the INCLUDEPICTURE field for each record it merges; once you press CTRL+A, FN+F9, unique pictures will display.
  4.    To send e-mail messages, select the table in the first page of the merged letters by pointing to the upper left-hand corner or the table and clicking the Table Move Handle; CTRL+C to copy; in Outlook, click in message area, CTRL+V to paste; enter the desired e-mail address in the To box in Outlook; add a subject line and send message; repeat until all messages have been sent.

 

Table of content using a G field

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 05:08 PM PDT

After using a document I've set up with the code { TOC \f G \c } to run a list of words I've coded with the G table identifier in another document.....all of a sudden today it won't work in Word 2013 (Windows 8.1). When I run it by using the F9 button, Word quits out completely. However we have an old machine with Word 2010 (Windows 7) and it still works fine.

What's happened? Has there been an automated update overnight (which seems to happen constantly) that has effected this?

Is there a way to increase the maximum number of characters per drop-down item?

Thanks.

Office Docs won't open from network drive

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 01:51 PM PDT

I can't open any office  documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points to the share to allow the user to continue working.

I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it's not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.

The computer is running Windows 8 with Office 365 and is current on updates for both.

 

Any help is appreciated.


Windows 8.1 Windows Explorer crashes when trying to open DOCX file.

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 01:29 PM PDT

Hi All!

I have MS Office 2013 installed on an ASUS laptop running Windows 8.1. Recently, when I try to open a DOCX file by clicking on the file from the folder window, Windows Explorer crashes and restarts. A little window pops up apologizing for Windows Explorer crashing. I think Windows Explorer also crashes when trying to preview the file - i.e. I move the cursor over the file and it highlights the name, shortly there after Windows Explorer crashes. Doing the same things with a DOC files work just fine. I realize this is little to go on, but has anyone had a similar experience?

How to specify the From email address when doing a Word mail merge?

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 11:41 AM PDT

I'm using both Outlook, Word, and Excel 2010. I have a list of contacts with names and emails in an excel file. I was using Word's mail merge in order to broadcast a large number of emails but I have Outlook configured with several email accounts and Word used the wrong email address as the From (i.e. sender) address for the mail merge broadcast. I even changed the default email account prior to the merge, although in hindsight perhaps I should have also rebooted outlook. Word's mail merge wizard doesn't have any apparent option for configuring which email to use as the sender.

So my questions are:

1. How do you specify which email address sends the Word email mail merge broadcast? (assume BCC is off the table)

2. Fortunately, I changed my passwords to my other email accounts just prior to the merge as well. So they can't be sent but they will continuously attempt to send. I'm not entirely convinced that deleting them from the outbox alone will do the job of making certain that they won't be sent. What is the best way to purge these emails or do I pretty much have to delete and recreate the account?

Microsoft Office 2013 in resident memory

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 11:21 AM PDT

I'm having problems with office 2013. I bought a new laptop with windows 8, i5 and 4 Gb of Ram. After buying it I upgraded it to windows 8.1. Then I bought office 2013. 

My work requires me to read about 100 documents per day in about 30 minutes and check them for grammar or information errors. But for each document I opened from the explorer, Office Word 2013 loads itself to memory again and again, making me lose about 5 secs per document with a sum of about 8 mins. 

I don't want to waste 8 mins of my 30 mins for such a needless task. If I leave any document open in the background, re-loading of word for each document is not happening but after changing and saving - closing the file the window focus changes to the background document forcing me to minimize it again and again, most of the time confusing me which document I had to close or save. 

This does not happen in my office for mac or previous version (not sure which) of ms office in my desktop.

Is it possible to leave word as a resident memory application, so for each document it does not load and load again???

It really is non-sensical. I remember older office versions had some options to enable loading of documents faster leaving a task as resident program in memory... I just couldn't find it in 2013 version.

Word 2010 vs. 2013 as default program

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 10:46 AM PDT

My issue is with Word 2010 vs. Word 2013.  I prefer the look of 2010 and want that to be my default option for opening Word files.  I have both on my computer. Do I really have to uninstall 2013 to get this to work? I set the preference to 2010 under "Open With".  When I go back to open the file it is not in a recognizable format.  Any thoughts?

Office 2013 - Cannot Open or Save Network or Shared Files

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 09:42 AM PDT

This morning I noticed that I was unable to open any files on our network drive with Office 2013. This applies to all Office applications I've tested (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). When I attempt to open a file that is not locally stored, the splash screen comes up and sits for 3-5 seconds. It then disappears and immediately reappears, then the home screen opens (no document). Using "Open" within an Office program does the same thing. No errors appear.

Next I opened a file stored locally, then tried to "Save" to a network location. The document immediately closed and brought me to the Word home screen. My network connection is solid. All other applications function. I've rebooted and reinstalled Office 2013 with no effect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Footer height issue

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 09:41 AM PDT

I don't know what happened to my beautifully formatted document! I deleted the i, ii, iii page nos. from the front matter. Suddenly, some of the page no are at different heights, namely page 4 and page 6, in Section 4. The "footer from bottom" is 0.3" on all 3 pages. The page no. looks to be a different distance from the footer marker. Beginning with Section 5, all seems well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Going to single page view and merely pulling the footer down seemed to mess up subsequent pages. I"m thinking i could possibly delete and recreate Section 1-4 ?

Unwanted styles brought into Template when graphics are copied and pasted

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 06:55 AM PDT

I created a template with specific styles, then protected it from formatting changes, including my specific styles. Most of the time, when I copy text from another document, it comes in as Normal style then I apply the specific styles I want. However, if a graphic is part of the section I copy and paste, it frequently contaminates my document with unwanted styles it somehow picks up from the old document and transfers. This happens even when I clear all the styles from the old document before copying and pasting. I'm guessing it has to do with pasting graphics in rather than inserting them. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks!

Bulk Update Quick Parts

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 02:46 AM PDT

We use quick parts to add header and footers to our documents.

the user will choose the department then the office location and then choose between adding a CV header or a Letter Head

this will then auto insert the details ( logo address phone number etc in the header and footer)

we are moving office and therefore need to change a large amount of these quick parts ( auto inserts)

is there a quick way to bulk update the details in these. currently I am having to go through each one individually and update.

due to the number of departments and locations there are massive amounts of permutations

Office 2013 apps refusing to start up.

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 01:36 AM PDT

Good day all. I recently started having issues with my office application. It first started with word. I could not edit doc or docx files created by other users but i could open word or any office files that  I created , whenever i tried to open such files i had an error about there not being enough quota (this error was prompted by TuneUp Utilities 2014 which i had installed at the time). So i uninstalled TuneUp and restarted my computer and  no office application opens. Whenever i try to open my any word file (mine included) I get an error saying "windows could not find the file specified" even though i clicking the said file.

I uninstalled and re-installed office and still have the same error. Even when i try to open the .exe file directly from my program files. Could anyone help?

Delighted, but mystified and seeking to know: why did my links in Word docs update automatically when I changed the Path name of the Target Document?

Posted: 19 Jun 2014 01:31 AM PDT

Hello, Community-Brain.

I have a lot of documents in a set of folders and sub-folders. I often put a link in a Document when it refers to information that is in another document, so I don't have to go clicking through folders, and can just have the link open up the document I need to refer to. All familiar to many, I'm sure.

I recently reorganized my folder system, moving some very big folders (with many levels of subfolders) to different locations. Hence, the path names of hundreds of documents changed.

The path name for each doc went from something like this:

C:/Users/Alan/Dropbox/C-Database/Office Docs/Letters/etc etc...     ..........to something like:

C:/Users/Bob/Dropbox/ALL/Office Docs/Letters/etc etc.

So the end of each path stayed the same, but within the first few sections of the path name, each and every doc now had at least partially a new name. Normally, even one letter or space difference in a path name would mean that the link was now incorrect, and I expected that each and every link would have to be manually re-set one by one. It was going to be torture, but unavoidable.

But I've found this surprising thing:  FOR LINKS TO WORD DOCS, the links within the docs seem to have been updated to the new name without me doing anything. When I hover the cursor over the link to the word doc, there is the new path name, AND when I click on it the doc opens. I didn't do anything to reset it, but my Word doc or the link within it somehow new that the other documents name had changed. This doesn't work for the links to PDF's, so it seems to be an internal MS thing.

Can someone explain how this works? I'm going to be banking on this feature in the future and would like to understand it's abilities and limitations better.

Thanks.

I have been having this problem since I left school in May, and it kind of fixed itself.  However,  when I opened my office about 20 minutes ago it popped up with "activate windows".  Now when I type in my email to activate it and press "continue" nothing happens.  It technically freezes.  Now if i press the exit button it just goes to activating your new windows account. However it will process forever.  I am using OFFICE 365 University.  Can anyone  help me figure out how to get my office programs back and working.
