Microsoft Word - Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Microsoft Word - Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Coworkers cannot open any of my documents

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 02:27 PM PDT

Hey all,

So, whenever I send a word document to my coworkers, they receive an error message from the file saying it cannot be opened (See photo attached). However, I have no problem opening any of their files.

How do I resolve this issue? 

For context, I run Office 2013 on a virtual machine running Windows 7. My machine is a macbook pro. My coworkers have Office for Mac on their macbooks. Could there be some error in the crossover? It's only recently cropped up as a problem. The file I am mainly trying to send is an edited version of a doc they sent me. I have since changed parts of the text, resaved it, and sent it. Now it has stopped working for them. I've tried creating an entirely new document, but it hasn't worked.

Advice?

Cheers,

Navin

Option to change squiggly / wavy line to highlight instead?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 01:06 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a particular request from my management and I asking if this can be done in Word. We are big on using active sentences versus passive sentences in our reports. I am very aware of the option of turning on "Passive sentences" setting in Proofing > Grammar Style. This places a blue squiggly / wavy line  underneath the passive sentence.

This is my question: Is there a option / way to replace the squiggly / wavy line by highlighting the sentence instead?  

Printing documents problem

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:57 PM PDT

I have Office 2013 using Windows 8.1   I type a document in Portrait then go to print. I select portrait in the printing menu but it prints in landscape on the left hand side as though it is an A5.    If I select landscape in the print menu it prints out in portrait but again to the left as though it is A5. I notice  in the print menu that the A5 size option has a permanent black outline square next to it irrespective of what size I choose.  Please what can I do, I am ripping my hair out !!

Copying and pasting Footnotes into new document is not preserving numbers

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 12:41 PM PDT

Is there a way to copy and paste just the footnotes into a new document while preserving the original footnote numbering?  Once you break the link with the reference, all of the numbering goes to "1" for all notes.  I tried turning into footnotes, pasting while preserving source formatting but cannot seem to get it to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

Word 2013 - Grammar check won't turn off

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 11:26 AM PDT

Hi -

I've disabled the "check grammar" option in Options, and I can't get Word to stop highlighting and checking grammar "errors" in my documents.  I went through and unchecked every box for things that the grammar checker would be looking for, and it still checks them all.  Please make it stop.

I've tried using the "check spelling only" button on the Ribbon, instead of "check spelling and grammar".  It still checks grammar.  Please make it stop.

I am at my wit's end.  It's bad enough that the grammar checker does an awful job - now I have to click "ignore" when I spell check through hundreds of marked up but not incorrect grammar "errors".

Please tell me how to disable the grammar checker permanently.

Thanks.

Is there any way to protect an MS Office 2010 Word Document so it is print only?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 07:41 AM PDT

I am developing educational resources for Dyslexic and struggling learners.

I want to prevent purchasers from copying and editing hard-earned files and images. The MS Word Documents are intended for eCommerce and must be able to be tamper-proof in order to protect the design.

A user must not be able to:

-right click and save an image to their computer for future personal use (the images are copyrighted)

-remove all content and pirate the hard-earned layout as a template (this would allow them to input their own content and create their own sale-able document)

A user must be able to:

-save the protected document to a download file

-print a perfect document for student use

 

I have followed all the directions in MS tutorials and on YouTube to password protect a document for read only. Once complete I can still right click images to save and copy into a pc and use as desired for any other purpose (this breaks copyright laws).

I have attempted to convert MS Word Documents to a PDF but the integrity of the document spoils (images are fuzzy and discoloured, and lines are broken even though the original design was set to solid lines). Also, I can still right click the images to copy and use as desired for any other purpose.

 

Please help! This issue is preventing these resources from reaching students who would benefit from using them.

Wildcard to find wrongly capitalized word?

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 05:14 AM PDT

I have a document in which "The" is frequently capitalized (incorrectly) in mid-sentence and I'm trying to figure out a wildcard search to deal with this.

I want to find all instances of "The" which follow a word-plus-space - thus omitting instances which follow period-plus-space.

Using ([A-z] )(the ) in Find gets me all instances of "the" which follow a word-plus-space, but ([A-z] )(The ) finds no instances at all of "The".  What could I be doing wrong?

Grateful for any suggestions.

Please do NOT tell me to do the following: 1) Review, Language, Set Proofing Language (English--US, in this case), click both boxes at the bottom until they're clear, Set as Default, and OK to close window; or 2) File, Options, Proofing, routine.  I have done both, but to no avail.

.docx compatibility question

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 05:45 PM PDT

Hi

I've just started using Word 2013 and I'm confused about .docx files. Can anyone tell me which previous versions of Word can also open these files? Will the formatting of documents saved on Word 2013 as docx files be messed up when opened in pre-2013 versions?


Also, can people with Macs open and edit .docx files originating from Word 2013?

I've just started freelancing and really need to figure this out - I need to send Word documents to people with lots of different set ups. Sorry if it's a very basic questions - I'm not very techy and this is stressing me out so much.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

Linked Excel Objects in Word Resize & Distort Randomly

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 05:24 PM PDT

Hello - I have a Word document and within it, I have several linked Excel objects.  These objects are inserted using paste special - Paste link as Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object.  These objects are inserted using Paste Special > Paste link as Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object. We are using Office 2010.
For some reason the aspect ratio tends to be skewed when the object is inserted so the tables are distorted. It's not entirely consistent (some objects inserted in the same document in the same way have the problem and others don't). Sometimes the object will be okay when first pasted but if the linked object is updated then the table distorts.

The distortion is usually around 17% Height x 3% Width and 'Lock aspect ratio' is generally set to True.

When I fix this manually, I do the following:

1. Right click on the object, then select Format Object from the menu.
2. On the Size tab, de-select Lock aspect ratio.
3. Click the Reset button.
4. Click OK.

This resets the object to 100% of it's original size.

I typically then:

1. Right click on the object again, then select Format Object from the menu.
2. On the Size tab, select Lock aspect ratio.
3. Click OK.

After I do this, sometimes the linked object will remain at 100%, while other times the aspect ratio will change on its own resulting in a distorted image.  I see many posts regarding this topic, but most of them are over 1 year old.  Has a solution to this problem with Microsoft Word been created?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

inserting rows and columns in WORD 2013 matrices

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 03:32 PM PDT

After reading a Microsoft tutorial, I understand that WORD 2013 has a nice quick way of adding rows and columns to a matrix, by simply hovering and clicking on an icon. Unfortunately this icon does not appear when I hover over the sides of my matrix. I therefore have to add my rows and columns by longer, earlier methods.

There is another problem that may be related. There is no multidirectional arrow at the top left corner of my matrix and I am unable to drag my matrix to another position in my document.

This is so disappointing because everything else is working okay. Does anybody have the solution? I chatted with somebody on the Microsoft chat line but they could only advise me to seek professional support elsewhere!    -(

Looking forward to your answers.     :-)

How can I include Page Background Color with a Mail Merge Word 2010 edit documents

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 09:51 AM PDT

I am creating a document in Word 2010 or Word 2013  using the Mailings tab and an Excel worksheet.  I finish and merge to multiple page document. That part is working fine.  I have formatted the fields with a white  background (paragraph shading, selected text)  behind them and  have the page  set up to  use Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 80 or 60 using the Office color set.    After merge the "Letters1" document has a white background.  

 I  can reset the background color in Letters1 and the white boxes are still there.   Anyone know how  I can get  the page background color to stick through the merge process?

I am just the techie, who is working with a supervisor on a project.   I have been using Word and Mailmerge for 16+ years.  The merged documents are being given to others.  My supervisor wants  to make it clear which areas are the merged data and liked the white boxes with the background, which did not print in black & white (a positive).   I have looked at Word Options, the Developer tab and some VB properties (a little bit of a reach for me)  but nothing jumps out.    Any ideas?

Docs default open to DISPLAY MARKUPS

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 06:55 AM PDT

I have created a word document where I am collaborating with another writer. We have used the "Track Changes" function accordingly. The document is now finished and I have clicked Review -> "FINAL" to not show the markup. I save the file. However, every time I open the file again it defaults to showing the markup, even when I've saved it otherwise.

The problem this gives me is that I'm trying to combine multiple, separate .docx files into a single PDF. As I do this, the PDF program opens the .docx file and PDFs it showing the comments and markups.

Any help?

Thanks!

Excel files not opening by clicking on them

Posted: 02 Mar 2007 02:36 PM PST

Hi Adam,

To answer your question:

When you double-click an Excel workbook in Windows Explorer, a dynamic data
exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the
workbook that you double-clicked.

If the Ignore other applications setting is selected, Excel ignores DDE
messages sent to it by other programs. As a result, the DDE message sent to
Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook
that you double-clicked. This is for the consideration of security.

As we all know, the conveniency and the security are always conflict with
each other :)

Hi Scott
Thanks for your reply. I am considering this option using hotmail or
something, but would really like to somehow do this in exchange. I think you
could set up a child domain or use some kind of strange delivery options, but
I'm not sure how this would work exactly. My director is not very hot on the
idea of routing out to hotmail and back. I have to agree with him, this is
probably not the cleanest way of doing this. This may work for a temporary
solution, but I would really like to do it in exchange.

What is it doing exactly? is there any error?
You will ensure as Jakob said that the DNS and IIS are working correctly
although you will also need to make sure there is no pop-up blocker or script
blocking enabled on that computer you are attempting to access it from.
Also make sure the DNS suffix is configured correctly or the page cannot be
found error will come up.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for this. I will give it a shot. Does not sound so bad and
if it works, it will make marketing happy.

Will test it out and let you know on this thread if I have any questions.

I VPN into work and access CRM and the screen would prompt me for a
user / pass then close down IE.

I got around this by adding the CRM address to the trusted sites in
internet explorer and it started working fine.

try that, hopefully it'll work

Price List in a Sales Order

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 01:27 AM PST

Similar question,

What if, to start with, we did not put in products but had the sales staff
put them in manually. Reason is we will be implementing Goldmine 8 for the
end of May and want to integrate Goldmine with CRM 1.2 for all the products,
inventory etc. So this would be a interim solution. So all products would
be write-ins.

I tried it out but it would not let me save an opportunity without putting
in a price list. How can I get around this until we do the integrations? Or
what would you suggest we do?

Thanks!

if you scan around on google you will find brief mentions of some new

doors at Microsoft. Even release dates could change so while it may ship
towards the end of the year even that date may slip. Wait for an official
Microsoft announcement later in the year.

We seem to have resolved the issue by applying a Hotfix to the CRM Server.
The hotfix is discussed in Knowledgebase Article 834859. You need to call

to keep the risk small always fully document these types of changes so you

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 Style Separator

Microsoft Word - Word 2010 Style Separator

Word 2010 Style Separator

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 03:07 PM PDT

I am using a multilevel list to number a legal document.  I have defined a new list and everything works okay until I get to Article II and have to use a style separator so that when I run the table of contents I don't get the formatting for the lead-in text and the following paragraph text. When I put in the style separator for 2.1 then go to the next numbered paragraph which should be 2.2 I get 2.3. This is happening throughout the document and I tried changing the number value, but this has become time consuming and when I save and close the document and then reopen it, all the numbering is wrong. If I don't use the style separator, I don't have this problem. I hope someone can help me figure this out. Thank you. 

Numbers in Red

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 02:33 PM PDT

I have a Word document that is formatted using Heading styles with automatic numbering.  At the end of the heading a red style separator is inserted to continue on with the rest of the paragraph.  I have seen this happen a couple of random times before, I close the document and when go back into it the paragraphs that are using the style separators the numbers are now red as well.  What could be the cause of this?  Are the numbers picking up the format from the style separator?

Opening Word docx

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 02:20 PM PDT

Recently, whenever I open Word doc, docx on my computer, they open at 30% and I have to zoom. I don't know why this has happened and I can find no where to change a default setting. Of course if I open- zoom-and save I can open at 100%-but I have access to hundreds of documents and this is an annoyance. I'm using Office 2013, Windows 7 Enterprise. Any ideas?

Ribbon size in Office 2013

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 01:38 PM PDT

For some reason the ribbon size increased on all of my windows programs (Excel, Outlook, Word, PPT), and I don't know how to change it back to the original ribbon size. I've already tried the mouse/touch buttons. 

Also, when I open any of these programs, the welcome screen where I can choose to open recent files, or a new workbook, or take a tour etc, this screen is enlarged too.

The rest of my working area (e.g., the document I am typing in MS Word) is not enlarged. Or at least I can still control it's size using the zoom function. 

If you have any advice on how to change the ribbon size back to normal, please let me know.

Thanks

Hide and Unhide Text in Word

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 01:15 PM PDT

I have several documents I'm merging into one.  Just as a matter of convenience, once I move then content from one document I'd like to hide the text so that I don't have to look at it again as I scroll through the document.  I can place the "Hidden" button in my Quick Access Toolbar and it works fine for hiding my text.  However I can't seem to find a button that unhides hidden text.

I don't particularly want to unhide all the text in the document.  I'd just like to select an area of the document and unhide any text that appears within that selection.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Page Numbers 1" from Bottom of Page

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 11:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2013. I need to place the bottom of the page number exactly 1" from the bottom of the page. I cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried the "Footer from Bottom:" and the changes it makes in the actual page are fairly arbitrary. The page number placement also appears to differ based on if I print vs export to pdf. Can someone please help me nail this down? I need to resubmit my thesis abstract tomorrow! 

Microsoft Word Issue

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 11:24 AM PDT

When I create a document in Word I create a Table of Contents and titles for each section. Each week for school I enter new information and when I do this the title on the next page moves down the page. Sometimes when I hit the backspace key to bring the title back up to the top of the page it jumps too far and goes to the bottom of the previous page. When I hit enter it jumps half way down the next page. It doesn't always do this, but when it does I can't fix it. I'm using a Window's 8 laptop (not touchscreen) with Word 2013. When I was chatting with Microsoft support he said it was because of a virus this was happening. I don't think it is malware or a virus because it is a brand new computer, it has Norton Security Suite, I rarely download anything (especially not from a website or email I don't trust), and it happens on my Windows 7 laptop as well. Support wanted me to buy an extended warranty, which I was not going to do when I felt he didn't even understand my issue. He sent me a link to these forums where somebody's cursor was moving while they typed. That's not my issue. The other reason I don't believe it's malware is no other program has an issue. I think I would have noticed if I had a virus or the scan would have picked it up. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Formatting Text With Capitalization of First Word

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 10:47 AM PDT

How can I include Page Backgroundd Color with a Mail Merge Word 2010 edit documents

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 09:51 AM PDT

I am creating a document in Word 2010 or Word 2013  using the Mailings tab and an Excel worksheet.  I finish and merge to multiple page document. That part is working fine.  I have formatted the fields with a white  background (paragraph shading, selected text)  behind them and  have the page  set up to  use Blue, Accent 1, Lighter 80 or 60 using the Office color set.    After merge the "Letters1" document has a white background.  

 I  can reset the background color in Letters1 and the white boxes are still there.   Anyone know how  I can get  the page background color to stick through the merge process?

I am just the techie, who is working with a supervisor on a project.   I have been using Word and Mailmerge for 16+ years.  The merged documents are being given to others.  My supervisor wants  to make it clear which areas are the merged data and liked the white boxes with the background, which did not print in black & white (a positive).   I have looked at Word Options, the Developer tab and some VB properties (a little bit of a reach for me)  but nothing jumps out.    Any ideas?

Vector images in document appear rough (unsmoothed)

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 08:47 AM PDT

I have several bitmap (PNG) and vector (EMF) images in my document. The PNGs look fine, just as they do when opened in an external image viewer, however the EMFs look quite bad, e.g. with fonts having rough edges and straight lines having uneven widths. These EMF files look fine when the document is printed, or when opened in an image viewer.

The "Do not compress image files" option under Advanced Options is checked, and "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" is disabled.

Is there anything I can try to make the vector (EMF) images look smooth (as they should) on screen? Thanks!

Field codes to display both number and text of heading

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 08:42 AM PDT

I have my headings numbered.  For example:

1      This is a topic formatted as Heading 1

1.1    This is a sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

1.2    This is the next sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

1.2.1  This is a sub-sub-topic formatted as Heading 3

2      This is the next topic formatted as Heading 1

2.1    This is a sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

2.1.1  This is a sub-sub-topic formatted as Heading 3

2.2    This is the next sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

and so on...

In my document header I would like to show both the number and the text for levels/headings 1 and 2 that occur first on the page (or an earlier page).  For example:

[left justified]                                                                           [right justified]

1 This is a topic formatted as Heading 1                      1.1 This is a sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

Then maybe a few pages later it would be:

2.1  This is a sub-topic formatted as Heading 2       2.2  This is the next sub-topic formatted as Heading 2

I can get the text with:

{ STYLEREF "Heading 1"  }

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the list number to display.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Headings losing formatting after 6th level

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 08:02 AM PDT

The style formatting doesn't automatically apply after the 6th level in a series and I manually have to tell it to keep going. 

How can I fix it so that it automatically continues?

Here is an example.

------

1.0 TEXT

    1.1 Text 

        1.1.1 Text 

            1.1.1.1 Text 

                1.1.1.1.1 Text 

                    1.1.1.1.1.1 Text 

                        1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Text 

           Text (it should continue here as 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 but it stops working)

2.0 TEXT

Word 2013 Web Layout - maximum width?

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 04:18 AM PDT

When dealing with large quantities of text, I use Web Layout to reduce the number of unnecessary line breaks, utilising the full width of my screen.

However, now that I have upgraded my monitor, Web Layout will no longer expand to fill the space.  With 100% zoom, at approximately 2000 pixels across the page just stops and I'm left with a huge white space.  

Is there any way to make Word utilise the full 3840 pixel width of the screen?

    For xxx = 0 To UBound(Split(strFind, ","))

Then every occurrence of cat, sat and mat will be highlighted

Can you help with the required code?

Phenomenal Word Page for Screenwriters

Posted: 05 Aug 2014 01:33 AM PDT

I started a thread here yesterday attempting to figure out how to format a screenplay, particular in regard to orphan control (with character names orphaned from dialogue on succeeding pages). Twenty years ago, I used Word Whatever 1995 Version and won a fellowship with it, but the formatting left much to be desired. This was because there is no instruction offered with Word that a user of average intelligence can use to master the "90% of Word's brain."

Words such as "template" and "points," and dropdown boxes that ask you for "exactly" or "minimum" still have no meaning to me. I hold an an advanced degree (if that matters, and it shouldn't)--NOT A TYPESETTER'S APPRENTICESHIP.

Colored List

Hi,

I am trying to make a simple list of right-tick or wrong-cross. I am using wingdings font in the list. What I cannot do is to make the tick green and cross red automatically after selection. I tried to search for a way but couldn't find a simple way of doing it. I can share the file if required which have the list.

I have a .doc (that someone else created) with 26 endnotes: I need to add an endnote in the middle of the .doc but I cannot get the numbering to conform to what's there

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 11:17 PM PDT

I do not know which version of Word this .doc was created in. The author of the .doc has 26 endnotes; some of them are re-used. They all look nice and tidy and at the bottom of the .doc: He arranged them so they're in alphabetical order. (I don't mean the endnotes were numbered a, b, c, d, etc. I mean the endnotes are in alphabetical order by first letter of the text of the endnote.)

The author has asked me to add a new endnote in the middle of the .doc. Specifically, there needs to be a new #16 and then of course all subsequent endnotes need to be renumbered 17 through 27.  When I attempt to insert an endnote, it is automatically numbered 1. When I attempt to insert an endnote and use the "Start as" field (in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box) and type 16 into the field, this does create a (16) endnote but the rest of the endnotes (old 16 through 26) are not re-numbered. (No, I am not using tracked changes. Should I?)

I have tried various hacks, e.g. copying the newly created endnote (which lands at the very bottom of the .doc) and pasting into the existing numbered list of endnotes (near bottom of .doc). But still, old 16 doesn't become 17, old 17 doesn't become 18, so on and so forth.

Also, the existing endnotes looks nice and tidy. When you mouse over them they look like this:

But the new one I have created looks like this:

How can I get mine to look nice and tidy?

Highlighting problem in Word 2013/Windows 8.1/Surface

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:08 PM PDT

I am using Word 2013/Win 8.1 on my surface pro and when I highlight three or more separate (as opposed to highlighting a line of text say) words , using ctrl|click, in my text (to embolden them for example) then I can't get rid of the highlighting - right clicking on the (Microsoft Bluetooth mouse) just brings up the message 'invalid selection'. Pressing escape just jumps to the start screen and if I click on any of the tiles on the start screen, it just puts a check mark on the tile but won't open the program. The only solution is to restart the system.

How can I get out of this strange mode?

Word 2013 overrides default and manual print settings Windows 7

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:46 PM PDT

I am using word 2013 on Windows 7.  Every time I try to print my printer settings are ignored by word.  My windows default printer is set to color and the printer prints color with no problems from all other programs.  When I print from Word it defaults to grayscale.  Even when I manually set the printer options to color it reverts back to grayscale.  At one time I could print color with this set up, this just started randomly.  I have read on the internet and this seems to be a common problem is there any fix?  So far I have downloaded the last windows 7 driver for my printer, a Samsung, and tried every Word setting I can find.

How to change the indentation and spacing in Table of Contents for different level headings

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:01 PM PDT

Hello,

I am using Microsoft word 2013 and am having issues with my Table of Contents (TOC). 

My thesis has been set up with a template which utilises various level headings i.e. 1.1 1.1.1 1.1.1.1 ... 

In my TOC this is what I see

1.     Chapter One

1.1   Background

1.1.1Importance of .....

1.1.2Barriers to.... 

As you can see, the spacing and indentation in my level one and two headings are perfect, however, the level three 1.1.1 does not have a) a space between the numbers 1.1.1 and the heading and b) it does not tab in underneath the level two heading. For example, I prefer it to look like the following: 

1.     Chapter One

 1.1   Background

    1.1.1    Importance of .....

    1.1.2    Barriers to.... 

Can anyone please assist me in going behind the scenes in my Styles tab or TOC modify option and direct me to the correct section to change these spaces and indentations?

I really appreciate your assistance.

Kind regards,

PhD student

Unable to open Word templates as new documents when using the Preview pane

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 05:08 PM PDT

Hi all -

I've seen this case documented before, but I have not seen anyone provide a clear answer, if there is one at all.

What is the solution to users being unable to open a Word template as a new document, from Windows Explorer, when using the preview pane?

If you try to double left-click on a .dotx template file from Windows Explorer, while using the preview pane, the document will not open.  The WINWORD.exe process starts when the preview pane activates, and while this is running in conjunction with the preview pane the template will not launch a new document.  It won't even open, in fact.

If you kill the preview pane and/or the process the template will open correctly as a new document, until the preview pane is used again.

Currently that leaves my office with either a) don't use the preview pane, or b) use the preview pane but open templates through a running instance of Word.  They find the former less than desirable and the latter a barely acceptable workaround.

Suggestions?

command for inserting a manual line break; not the keyboard shortcut

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:37 PM PDT

I have a template that we use in our office all the time (Word 2010), and I just discovered that somehow the keyboard shortcut for inserting a manual line break, Shift+Enter, has been changed and now inserts a page break. Because the template has lots of customized keyboard shortcuts that are useful, I would like to change this one back via some method other than hitting "Reset all" in the Customize Keyboard dialog box, but I cannot find the command for inserting a manual line break in order to re-map the shortcut. Is there a command, or any other way to insert a manual return other than Shift+Enter? For this one case I resorted to opening a new document with the default Normal template attached, typing Shift+Enter, then copying and pasting the manual line break into my doc, but I'd hate to have to do that every time. Thanks for any help.
