| Auto Update Formula Posted: 31 Jul 2014 03:05 PM PDT Hello, I have a table that was created in Word 2013. Generally, in other applications, the cells automatically and immediately calculate after numbers are entered. I can't get Word 2013 to do so. I'm required to right-click and Update Field to view formula totals. Am I missing something? Is there a way to auto total cells? |

| paragraph mark added to header with save as Posted: 31 Jul 2014 01:57 PM PDT We have been using editable forms created in Word for court documents for some time without any issue. About two months ago something in Word changed (not sure if it was after a specific update), so that every time a form is saved using Save As, a paragraph mark is added to the header in the protected document. This paragraph mark causes the form to repaginate, making the form unusable. NOTE: This does not happen if you click Save, instead of Save As. It happens to all the forms, so it is creating a significant nuisance at the law firm. Since the forms are Read Only, users must use Save As to save the modified form. After some testing we have determined, if we unprotect the document, edit the header and then close the header, the form repaginates correctly. However, if we use the Save As feature, the paragraph mark will reappear and cause the document to repaginate. Any guidance on how we can prevent the paragraph mark from being inserted when using Save As, would be appreciated. Currently using Word 2007 on Windows 7 |

| Disappearing text in Word 2013 Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:26 AM PDT We have a number of templates in Word that we have created and use at my office. Recently, one of my co-workers opened one of the templates, typed on it, saved it, and went to print. When he printed the template and the the screen went back to the document some of the text disappeared from the screen. The printed document also had the text missing. If I pull up the document on my computer I see all of the text and can print with no problems. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? |

| Create automatic Table of figures without giving too much information from the legend Posted: 31 Jul 2014 09:14 AM PDT Dear Sir or Madam, I have been creating an automatic table of figures in Word 365. However, the automatic table of figures contains too much information, i.e. details from the caption of the figure have been copied into the automatic table of figures as well. I just want to display the first line of each legend of each and every figure, which contains the main information and not everything. For example, the color coding has been copied as well, including additional information within brackets. My table of figures now looks like this. Figure 1. Name of figure. Additional information from legend (color coding: red: xyz, blue: pqrs, ...). Figure 2. Name of figure. Additional information from legend (color coding: red: xyz, blue: pqrs, ...). Basically, it contains too much information, but I also do not want to edit it manually, since the labeling of the figures in the manuscript will change again. As I understand it this problem could have been addressed using style separators in previous editions of word, but style separators are not available in word 365 anymore. Many thanks for any help you are able to offer. With best regards, Patrick Pflanz |

| CREATEDATE not updating Posted: 31 Jul 2014 08:04 AM PDT I have a MS Word template that I have created for purchase orders. It has a CREATEDATE field in it, and also an AutoOpen macro that prompts for some user input and assigns a sequential PO number. The template has been working just the way it was supposed to for 6 months on several computers. Now when it is run on any of the computers it doesn't update the date. The last files created that actually worked correctly were all 7/8/2014 or earlier. I have tried re-creating the field, and also tried using a "Activedocument.fields.update" in my macro, but can not get the date to update. If I right click on the field and select update, it does change. The only change that I can see that has been universal across all our computers are some MS Office automatic updates on 7/9/2014. Any ideas? |

| Why can't I open a blank document in Word? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:39 AM PDT Every time I try to launch Word (I have Windows 7 professional and Office 365 Home and no other older versions on my computer) and select blank document, it says (not responding) and I am forced to close it. If I open an existing document, it opens fine, but trying to create a new, blank document isn't working. Sometimes, I can right click on the x to close and get an option to "restart the program" in addition to close or wait, which works to open a new blank document, but that's not always there. |
| Cannot paste URLs from Word 2013 to Internet browser (neither IE nor Chrome). No problem pasting from Excel to IE. Posted: 31 Jul 2014 05:16 AM PDT New user of Windows 8, Word 2013 and IE 11 (previous experience: XP, Word 2003, IE 8). I frequently copy materials from the Internet to MS Word with URLs for future reference. No problem with my previous XP computer. Now I am unable to copy a URL from Word to either IE11 or Google Chrome. Nothing happens with Ctrl-V, the "paste" options are greyed out. Not sure if problem is with new computer (Toshiba A5114) or Word settings. I changed the Word Option (advanced) on "Paste from other programs" to "Keep Text Only." Please help, as this is driving me nuts. Thank you. arapaho415 |

| Extreme and Sudden Word Slowdown Posted: 31 Jul 2014 03:54 AM PDT I was working with a Word document this evening. It is about 30,000 characters large/long. Word is usually very fast in working with this document. I added about 1 page to the document tonight, and started getting error messages similar to, "This document has too many spelling and grammatical errors for Word to process. You must start spell and grammar check manually." Now, spell-checking and grammar-checking run so slow that Word says "Not Responding" every time that I click on "next." I have been correcting spelling and grammatical errors as I go along, so there can only be one page (that I added tonight) with any errors. I have not installed any new software or hardware in weeks. I have not downloaded any new files in about one week. But in 24 hours, my Word has gone from fast to barely moving at all, after a 5% increase in document size (only text). My processor is super-hot, and my internal processor fan is running constantly. I can hear the fan pick up to full speed as soon as I open the document. No other app or program on my computer is having any problem or causing the processor fan to to run so hard. |
| Numbering resets when opening document Posted: 31 Jul 2014 03:49 AM PDT We are using a Word 2013 template file as basis for all our documents. This template contains a Multilevel List style which is used for exercise steps. In some documents a bug introduces itself where the following happens: - When opening the document the number style is re-applied to every line that uses the exercise step style
- Every level of the multilevel list will be changed to the level 1 style
- If we used the Restart at 1 option anywhere it will undo this and change it to Continue numbering
This creates a lot of issues obviously. For example that we end up with 30 pages documents where the numbering continues op to figures into 400-500 steps. Manually reapplying the styles, saving and opening the documents introduces another issue, where the first numbered item shows up normally, but all the items after that have no numbers. To correct this (temporarily) we select the line with the right syle and apply that to the exercise step style. This then reapplies the numbering to all the other exercise steps in the document. However, when we save the document and open it again all the numbers are gone again. Another thing we tried was to copy all the content into a new document with the template attached. This looks like initially, but when saving, closing and reopening the file the same issues return. We would greatly appreciate and help, tips or insight into these issues, and possibly come up with a solution. Please don't hesiate to ask for clarification, I will give as many details as necessary. |

| How can you prevent Windows 8 handwriting recognition deleting text form fields in a Word 2003 form template? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 01:24 AM PDT I have a Word 2003 form template (containing text form fields, check box form fields and drop down form fields) and I am having problems completing this form on a Windows 8 tablet using the handwriting recognition facility. When completing the form using the handwriting recognition facility it is possible to delete a text form field even though I have applied the appropriate protection on the form template. When using the tablet keyboard to complete the form, I can complete the form text fields okay and I'm not able to delete the fields. The Word version on the tablet is 2010, and I created a form template in version 2010 just to see if I had the same problem with the template. I can complete the form using handwriting recognition without being able to delete the text form fields. Is there anything I can do with the Word 2003 template to prevent the handwriting recognition removing these text form fields? I know the sensible option would be to recreate the form in Word 2010, however we still have quite a few users who use Word 2003 and this will cause compatibility issues. |
| Font color changing automatically to white on dark Backgrounds in Word 2010 Posted: 30 Jul 2014 11:57 PM PDT Hello.

| Autosaves not recorded on Office 365 and Onedrive Posted: 30 Jul 2014 09:49 PM PDT I saved a document to Onedrive. Came back a few minutes later, opened Word, found that the system had not saved my work to the server. Word gave me two options: to use my local or my server file. After searching for the most recent modify date, I chose the local file. Even though it was marked with a modify date in the last 20 minutes, my entire evening's work (started 2 hours prior) was gone. I searched for previous versions. No luck. I searched my autosave folder, nothing. There has to be a way to recover autosaves that happen every 10 minutes, especially when you're tying all of Office to an unreliable Onedrive. Until this is corrected, I recommend Dropbox. I've yet to have a problem with that solution. |
| Word shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder of file Open and Save Posted: 30 Jul 2014 09:20 PM PDT Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network, Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share. Instead of seeing: "My PC Documents" users see \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent t the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share! Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx! Dana |
| Legal Pleading for MS Word 2013 Posted: 30 Jul 2014 08:37 PM PDT The 28-line legal pleading template available in MS Word 2013 is in 10-point type. The courts require 12-point type. When I convert the template to 12-point type, the single - and double-spacing is thrown off and the text no longer lines up with the numbers down the side of the page. I've tried setting the line spacing to "Exactly" and entering 22pt, the same spacing as the numbers in the margin, but to no avail. Short of purchasing software, do you have any solutions for setting up a permanent template that will not require line adjustments?

| Single Space is Not Single Spaced Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:42 PM PDT Hi there, I am working with a document that has messed up formatting because it's scanned from a book. Specifically, the tables are not usable. I am trying to reformat the tables. I would like the to autofit both column and row, be wider and single spaced. In word, I can get most of the formatting I desire by clearing the formatting and selecting the default style. Unfortunately, even through single spaced is selected, the text in the table is double spaced. When I select to space exactly at 12 pt it appears single spaced. But when I select single spaced it appears double spaced. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!! |
| I no longer receive an audio prompt when closing an Office program Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:35 PM PDT I am running Vista Home Premium, SP2 with all updates current. I have Standard Office 2007 installed. All updates are current. System has 4 GB of RAM and a 2.20 GHz, 64 bit operating system. When trying to close a workbook in Excel or a document in Office Word, I get the visual prompt to either save changes, don't save, or cancel, but no audio prompt. This problem started about a week ago. My Volume Mixer Control shows Speakers and Applications. The Windows Sound appilication slider can be adjusted but it has no effect on an audio prompt when closing a workbook or document. Under Advanced on the Office Options page, selecting Provide Feedback with Sound has no effect either. No new applications have been installed recently with the exception of the latest JAVA update. |
| How do you suppress MS Word 2013 from sending (supposedly flawed) word documents to Microsoft Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:48 PM PDT Sporadically, as I'm logging out of word a pop-up appears listing four or five files that MS Word2013 (or Office2013 or Windows8.1, not sure which) wants to send to Microsoft for analysis because, apparently, WORD2013 has detected errors in these files. There are NO errors that impact my work in these files (use them all the time, have for years, they work for me) and some contain sensitive client information, that, Microsoft's Privacy Statement notwithstanding, I don't want sent anywhere. Bottom line, I want to turn off this feature which started when I purchased Office 2013, but can't figure out how. Thanks in advance for your help. |

| Autosize Row Contents in large document with 100+ tables Posted: 30 Jul 2014 03:34 PM PDT Hello Word Gods and Goddesses! :) I have a document with 100s if not 1000s of tables that are set to a specific height for row after scanning the documents. I want these to autosize the row (remove check from "Specify Height) as well as AutoFit Window. From what I have learned so far reading these posts: Unchecking "Specify Height" (under Table Properties → Row) will set the table autosize as it does by default. But this needs to be done for each table. How to make this happen throughout the entire document? Thanks for reading & Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions! Figuring this out has been a huge unanticipated project! :)
