| "Something went wrong" error message Posted: 29 Jul 2014 02:50 PM PDT "Something went wrong" is the message I receive when trying to open MS Office Word. Would appreciate your help. |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2014 01:45 PM PDT Hey Our experience here at work with Word 2013 is becoming frustrating. We have a very important document that we have had to redo over and over again, because any of our changes are not saving. So I want to know if A: we are doing something wrong when saving. B: If Word just does this C: if when we email it or someone else opens it from sharepoint on their own computer if the changes do not save. Or if it picks up from where they left off and doesnt accept the new changes. Any advice would be awesome! |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2014 12:24 PM PDT I cannot open any documents. Suggestion was to go to control panel, programs and features, and then repair. Did that. Says repair is taking place, that it won't take long, and thank you for my patience. All out of patience. It's been over 3 hours. Repair is still running. |
| Show Textbox if merge field is not null Posted: 29 Jul 2014 12:21 PM PDT Hi All, I'm trying to figure out how to make a textbox visible only if a merge field in it has data. My best guess is something like this should work (but of course it doesn't). Any help is appreciated. If ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields(UD_Notice) Is Not Null Then End If |
| Can't view the attached word document in mail Posted: 29 Jul 2014 11:46 AM PDT Hello, I have a problem. When I send a my CV as a word document the other mail recipient can not see it in view. Only picture is seen and all the text is blank. This is not the case with other word documents which I send. If the document is downloaded there is no problem and it opens correctly. The document is saved as a Word 97-2003 document but then again the other documents that are saved the same are view able. Could anybody help me please with my problem? Thank you in advance , regards, |
| Word 2010 Built-in table styles have unwanted banding Posted: 29 Jul 2014 08:02 AM PDT I have a large document with many tables in it. It was originally a .doc file and has been converted to .docx. I'm changing the style of all tables to a built-in style. If I create a new table I can use the normal built-in template styles in the design tab. However, if I click on a pre-existing table the design tab refreshes with different built-in table styles that all have unusual row banding applied to them. This can be resolved by selecting "Clear" (and the default styles are displayed). Can anyonne explain why this happens and is the a way to resolve without having to individually "Clear" all tables in my document one by one? Thanks. |
| Automatic change of the equation letters from normal to bold Posted: 29 Jul 2014 07:50 AM PDT Hello We use MS Office Word 2007 with the default equation editor (which is accessed via Insert/Equation -under Symbols-) Now, I am writing a report where I have many formulas. I have tensors, vectors and scalar valuesFor instance, when I write: sigma=sigma0sin(wt+delta) word automatically changes it to the bold case I change it with home section as normal. When I UPDATE all the equations and tables in my document, close the document, open it again, and then I see that nothing changes. The very same bold representation comes back. Would you suggest anything? How can I overcome this? I have seen for equation editor 3, it is possible to change the style, but under insert/equation, i do not see any options which can be changed. I would appreciate if you could help me |
| Office for iPad Loses Document When in Flight Mode Posted: 29 Jul 2014 07:30 AM PDT I've downloaded Office for iPad and didn't set my One Drive account yet. So I wet to a meeting, set a new document, write all meeting agreements and when I press save Office says that can't connect to One Drive and comes back to the start screen. I can't even see the unsaved document again, so I lost it. As I'm in a cliente, without access to internet, I've set iPad to flight mode. Please, How Should I act in this case? Thanks in advance. |
| Word 2013 capitalize the first letter of a sentence even if I disable the corresponding options Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:45 AM PDT If «Capitalize first letter of sentences» is enabled, Word does not only capitalize the first letter of a sentence, but also the first letter of a bullet list. For example This is a list of activity I will do tomorrow: - mow the lawn - cook the roast is converted to This is a list of activity I will do tomorrow: - Mow the lawn - Cook the roast This is really annoying because in my language bullet list items following a colon must not be capitalized. So I decided to go to OPTIONS->PROOFING->AUTOCORRECT OPTIONS->AUTOCORRECT and disable «Capitalize first letter of sentence». No way: Word continues to capitalize those sentences. Why? Is that a known bug? |
| Word 2010 Text Wrapping Default Settings Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:19 AM PDT I create newsletters and other documents in Word 2010 and use pictures throughout. When I import a picture the text wrapping options are set by default to 0.13" on both the right and the left. I prefer this setting to be 0.05" but I have to change it manually for each picture. Is there a way to change the default from 0.13" to 0.05"? I can't find any way to do so under Options and didn't see this specific question answered in this forum. |
| How to save in open office then open it? Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:14 AM PDT I did have word 2010 or 2007, its been a minute. For some strange reason it just stopped working. I installed Avast, it was recommened. They told me something tech. about why word no longer worked and suggested that I install Open Office, I agreed. They installed it for me over the phone. The guy then said something about not uninstalling word and to save doc. in open office as .odt and it would also save copy as .odtx. Ok I do this and when I go back to open it, Open Office tells me that it is empty. I am a novice writer and I have lost so much. Can someone help me? Thanks. |
| Multiple Versions within One Word Doc File Posted: 29 Jul 2014 06:10 AM PDT Can you save multiple versions within a file in Word2010? Used to be able to do this in Word2003 and then Microsoft removed it in Word2007 :( |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2014 05:11 AM PDT Hi there, I've been having some trouble with mail merge rules on Microsoft Office 2010 Professional on a computer running Windows 7-32 bit Professional. I'm currently trying to make rules such as the fill-in rule but whenever I start a mail merge it runs through all of the fill-in boxes and then once I've completed that it asks me for all of them again. Is there any option or way to stop this second cycle of asking the fill-ins? Many thanks, Oli |
| Change Styles - Style Set field empty ie no themes showing Posted: 29 Jul 2014 04:59 AM PDT After years and years of sticking with Office 2000 I purchased Office 2007 (the local job service only had 2007 available to train on. (Darn budget cuts!)) While working with You Tube videos I saw the Themes and thought "what a great thing to have available." But when I tried to duplicate the steps in one of the videos I found that my themes did not show up on my installed 2007. Recently reinstalled my version to be able to get to the VBA help files and I know I did a custom install to have the help files installed. But during that install I tried to select everything else that was offered. Long-winded way of saying HELP! Anyone out there have any idea why my Themes would not be installed even though Quick Styles is there and working? |

| Error Message when opening a file in Word 2007 Posted: 29 Jul 2014 03:57 AM PDT When opening a Word 2007 document in Microsoft Word 2007 I get the following error message. This error message can appear for several reasons. The document may be corrupt or damaged. Use either the Recover Text converter or the Open and Repair feature. Both are available from the Open dialog. NOTE: If you have opened a file that is attached to an e-mail, it is recommended that you save the file to a local hard disk first before attempting to recover or repair the file. The Open and Repair feature is available from the Open dialog box. To open and attempt a repair, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Open, and then navigate to the damaged file and click it once. Instead of clicking the Open button at the bottom right of the dialog to open the file, click the down arrow to the right of the button and select Open and Repair from the menu. If the file can be recovered, it will open and display in the document work area. The Recover Text converter is available from the Open dialog box and appears in the Files of type drop down list. It appears in the drop down list as: Recover Text from Any File (*.*). The Recover Text converter has its limitations. Document formatting is lost, along with anything that is not formatted as text. Graphics, fields, drawing objects, and so on, are not converted. However, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, and field text are retained as simple text. File permissions may be set so that you cannot access the file (read denied). It is also possible that you do not have permissions to open anything within the drive or folder that contains the file. In this case, contact the owner of the drive or folder and request permissions to access the file. It is possible that you have run out of system resources (disk space or RAM), or that another program on your system has consumed all the available memory. It is also possible for a program to have a memory leak that is using up large quantities of memory. The best method to recover memory that has been consumed by a memory leak is to restart the computer. It may be possible to shut down the offending program by using the Task Manager, but it is not recommended since it may further destabilize the system. There may be a read lock on the file that you are attempting to open. Another user may have the file open, or another application that has a link to the file may have placed an exclusive lock on the file, preventing Word from opening the file. If a custom application has opened the file, it may have opened the file using an incorrect method. The file that you are attempting to open may require a file converter that is not installed on your computer. Most converters are installed by default, but optional converters are available from the Add or Remove Programs utility (in Control Panel) for your version of Office (requires performing an advanced customization install and searching the feature tree for Office Shared Features \ Converters and Filters). Other converters are available from the Office Resource Kit. Search the www.microsoft.com Web site for "Office Converter Pack". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Run spell check when "Save As" button clicked Posted: 28 Jul 2014 10:44 PM PDT I'm wondering if it's possible to write a macro that will ask the user, upon clicking either the "Save" or the "Save As" button, if they'd like to run the spell check and, if they say "Yes" the spell check runs followed by the table of contents being regenerated, if they say "No" then the table of contents is regenerated. This would run on a document that the user has already made edited - it's an attempt to ensure they spell check and regenerate the table of contents because they're sure to forget both! |
| "Word could not create the work file" error message Posted: 28 Jul 2014 09:51 PM PDT I have : Intel Core i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 8,0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics When I attempt to upload a DOCX file to a webpage I get : I have visited http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2285187/en-au. When following Method 1 to change the location for the Temporary Internet Files folder for Internet Explorer I find that the recommended address is already in place. That has not solved my problem. What will? I dread fooling around in the registry because I do not know what I am doing. Is Method 2 (Pointing the cache registry ...) what you do if Method 1 fails, or is there some other approach? BTW: The appearance of the dialog does not stop the uploads - but I would still like to get rid of the annoying dialog. |

| Different headers for different pages Posted: 28 Jul 2014 06:39 PM PDT I'm having a big problem with headers. I am writing a book in Microsoft Word 2010, and the book is divided into different months. (To use an example, the book starts in November, from chapters 1 - 8. I would like in the header for each page in those chapters for there to be the word "November" in the header. For chapters 9 onward, I need the header to say "December"). So when I type November into ONE header, it sets the header for every single page in the document to saying "November". What I WANT to do is make sure that the header I'm typing in does NOT link to previous headers. I know that this is how I make sure certain pages have different headers! But my problem is, Word 2010 will not allow me to click or unclick the "link to previous" button, so I have no choice but to let all the headers to be the same. This is a screenshot of when I open "Header & Footer Tools". See the "Link to Previous" button? How can I have three or four different headers throughout the document? Please, help me Microsoft! Thank you, Scout Collins |
| new word 2013 keeps telling me there is an error upon opening it Posted: 28 Jul 2014 06:01 PM PDT I get error message that tells me it is having problems opening when andwill need to close. Then when I choose repair it tells me it isnt activated which it is. Also when I receive attachments in email that are .docx it starts to open then immediately disappears. I have registered it right after I purchased it and it hasn't ever worked seamlessly. I do have an old copy of 2003 on system because I have so many documents from my business I am afraid wont convert over to word 2013 format. I have windows 7 64bit service pk 1. |
| EM Space in Headings not reflected in corresponding TOC (Bug or by design??) Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:58 PM PDT If I place and EM space in Heading 1 text e.g., "THIS IS HEADING Em Space 1 TEXT" and insert a TOC, the TOC does not reflect the Em space and the result is: Bug or design? |
| Microsoft Word isn't rejecting American spellings of words Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:07 PM PDT I'm currently doing some very important writing which requires accurate spelling and grammar. My problem is that Microsoft Word won't distinguish between the American and English (British) spellings of words. I only want the British versions of words, civilisation not civilization. I've checked the system locale and keyboard setting, they're set to UK. As is the dictionary language in proofing of Microsoft word. Yet it still refuses to tell me that an American spelling is wrong. Any ideas on how to fix this? |
| How to create custom fields for contract Posted: 28 Jul 2014 04:04 PM PDT Hello, I recently switched over from a different word processor to MS Word 365 I have perused the internet for the past hour trying to find an answer. Im trying to type up a contract, and within this contract I will be changing information throughout, such as my client's name and address, report number, etc. How do I add a field that can be changed in one, and it changes the remainder of those fields in a document? |
| problems with page numbering in Word 2010 Posted: 28 Jul 2014 03:44 PM PDT Hello, I am working on a manual and I have spent the majority of my day trying to figure out how to get the page numbering correct. I noticed that some of the pages show Odd page footer, when it really should be Even page footer. I don't know how to change it and when I go to the footer and highlight the page # and change it and click on "link to previous" it messes the previous pages. Please help, this should not be so hard, I hope the 2013 version is better when dealing with page numbering, what a hassle! |
| Multiple Numbering Formats within a Outline List Posted: 28 Jul 2014 03:25 PM PDT All headings and paragraphs in the document must be numbered using an Outline List scheme. All section headings must be prefixed with a two character identifier, all paragraphs must not. The two character prefix will remain the same within the document, XX could be "EL" in this document and "HD" in another. Example XX 17 Document Title 17.1 A paragraph following the document title 17.2 Another paragraph following the document title. XX 17.3 The First of many Sub-Headings 17.3.1 A paragraph following the first of many sub-headings. XX 17.3.2 A Sub-Heading of the First of many Sub-Headings [ ... ] 17.3.23 another paragraph in the first of many sub-headings 17.3.24 the final paragraph in the first of many sub-headings 17.4 the final paragraph of the Document Title section Each of the 9 Outline Headings must be able to use both a prefixed [in the case of a heading] and non prefixed [in the case of a paragraph] format. Hope that explains it ... I've been at this for almost a week without finding a solution. -- Thanks. |
